Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Gu Siwei's family of three returned home.

"Hey, where is the person?"

Gu Siwei deliberately ran to the door of the utility room, stretched out her head and took a look inside, and found that there was no one in the room, so she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Hu Yanqiu thought for a moment and said, "They must be working. You can see that there is no one in the house now."

"So conscious?"

Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Hu Yanqiu replied: "You will know after you go and see it."

"Oops, not good!"

Gu Siwei suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but pat his thigh.

Hu Yanqiu was stunned by him and immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

"My fish!" Gu Siwei said.

"What kind of fish?" Sicui opened his mouth and asked.

Gu Siwei hurriedly ran towards Yinsong Cliff and said as he ran: "I put a cage in the river when I went there. I didn't think about it for a while. I don't know what it is like now."

"Now you still want a cage?"

Hu Yanqiu was amused by Gu Siwei. How many days had it been left in the river, and there was still no fish in the cage.

Gu Siwei didn't stop. When he reached the edge of the cliff, he turned over and went down the rope to the boat. Then he called the flowers and cubes and ran towards the place where he put the cage.

After arriving at the place, Gu Siwei picked up the rope hanging the cages and found that there was a hole in both cages. Now there was half a fish in the cage. Not only was there no fish, the cage was also useless.

Gu Siwei simply didn't even want the rope and threw it into the river.

When they got home, Sicui and Hu Yanqiu were already preparing dinner. When they saw Gu Siwei coming back dejected, they couldn't help but become happy.

Gu Siwei saw the two of them laughing, and soon he started laughing too.

"The cage is broken," Gu Siwei said.

Sicui replied: "That's for sure. The cage is already quite old. Soaking it in water for two or three days shouldn't be a big deal. But how can it survive being soaked in water for ten days? What's more? There are also fish hitting the cage.”

"Hey, we have to make Old Man Zheng busy again. Let him make a strong one this time. This Guo Laosi is not good enough." At this time, Gu Siwei complained about the cage weaving.

After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu said cheerfully: "You are such a person. You made a mistake and you blamed someone else for making the cage."

"Forget it, let's cook." Gu Siwei rolled up his sleeves and prepared to cook.

Hu Yanqiu said to him: "Don't reach out. Sicui and I will make dinner. You can just rest today and wait for dinner."

"Ah? I'm not used to being a hands-off shopkeeper. Can you two really do it?" Gu Siwei's eyes flickered back and forth between the two of them.

Hu Yanqiu said: "You have to try it. There is always a first time. It is better to choose sooner than later. Tonight is the first time for me to take charge!"

"Okay, let's try your craft."

Gu Siwei saw that she wanted to cook, so he let her do it.

During these days at his father-in-law's house, Gu Siwei was cooking and Hu Yanqiu was watching. He learned a little while watching.

Of course, don't expect her to have any knife skills at this time, but it should be better than before.

Regarding Hu Yanqiu's craftsmanship, at least today, he didn't have any hope. He only hoped that it wouldn't be too salty to eat, and that it wouldn't be mushy.

"Would you like me to prepare a dish for you?"

Gu Siwei walked around twice and found that he seemed a little bored when there was really nothing to do, so he suggested that he should help out or something.

Hu Yanqiu immediately rejected him: "I told you that the two of us will be fully responsible. You can just wait until the end to eat today."

"Guan Jian, no matter what you are doing now, you have to have an idea, right?"

"We can't say yet what we will do," Sicui said.

Gu Siwei understood that this could not be said. In all likelihood, the two of them had not yet figured out what they were going to eat tonight.

He didn't expose the two of them, and it was impossible to dampen their enthusiasm for cooking. It was not that Gu Siwei wanted to quit. For Gu Siwei, cooking was actually a pleasure. In the past, he cooked for himself, hoping that he would eat cleanly and hygienicly. , now I want to make it for my family. Although it is a busy job, it is still a kind of enjoyment.

Since Hu Yanqiu has this enthusiasm, why should Gu Siwei stop him?

After staying here for a while, Gu Siwei simply left and walked towards where the two old men were working, ready to see how the two old men were doing.

Gu Siwei was about to go out, and Youni immediately followed him with his tail wagging. When he was about to leave the big house, Youni paused for a moment, looked at Gu Siwei in front of him, and saw that he did not ask him to leave, so he followed him again. Go up.

When Gu Siwei saw You Ni following him, he didn't say anything and let the dog run around in front of him.

When he arrived at the place, Gu Siwei was speechless for a moment by the scene he saw, because he saw a lot of peeled wood.

There are more than a dozen branches that have not only been peeled off, but also cut into sections. Now one of the two old men is sitting on the ground, and the other is riding on the wood. The two of them are pulling a big saw and sawing the trunk.

"Comrade Xiao Gu, are you back?"

"Comrade Xiao Gu, didn't you say you'd be there for three to five days? How come you've been gone for so long?"

The two old men were very happy to see Gu Siwei appear. They looked at Gu Siwei and asked.

Gu Siwei briefly talked about what happened at his father-in-law's house. Of course, he omitted many details. He only said that his brother-in-law was going to support the family, and did not mention that his mother-in-law was unhappy. There was no need to tell anyone about this matter.

After hearing this, Old Man Li said, "Your mother-in-law must be worried to death, right?"

"Not bad!" Gu Siwei laughed.

Seeing his look, Old Man Li knew that he had guessed it, but he didn't say anything. Any other parent would have to worry, including himself.

"Oh, by the way, why do you do so much work these days?"

What Gu Siwei now sees is that the progress is much faster than he expected, at least half as fast. No matter what he thought, it would take about a month to reach this level of progress.

Old Man Yu said: "We're fine. Anyway, we get up and work right after dinner, and we don't care about the progress."

This is what the two old men did. When they were forced to work in the past, they always felt that their bodies couldn't bear it. If they couldn't bear it, they had to grit their teeth and work.

But when they got here, Gu Siwei not only didn't push him, but also didn't say how much he had to stop working before he could eat. The two of them also wanted to take a rest the day after Gu Siwei left. However, after resting for a long time, the two of them felt that this day was not enough. It's so unbearable. I have no time to wait for food. I'm living like a pig.

So the two of them continued to work. As soon as they started working, they felt that time passed very quickly. Even though they were a little tired, they felt at ease when they went to bed at night. They slept until the biological clock reached the time, then got up to get some food and continued to work. Every day Don't live too fulfillingly.

Gu Siwei didn't know. If he knew, he would definitely laugh at the fate of the two old men working as coolies.

When he came to the material, Gu Siwei reached out and patted the material. After looking at it, he found that the line drawing was interesting, so he asked.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​making this material like this?"

Old Man Yu laughed and said: "Isn't your house all like this now? Since you want to build a house, you can't change the number temporarily, right?"

When Gu Siwei heard this, he remembered that when he built those houses, it was not just like building blocks. According to what will be said in the future, it is structured design. Try to unify some things. In this way, it will not only be easy to construct, but also easy to make. .

"I really didn't expect you to be so attentive," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Old Man Li said: "Without this kind of care, neither of us would be alive today."

"Yes, yes!"

Gu Siwei nodded to admit this.

These old people really don't have a few brushes, and they have been eliminated from the battlefield a long time ago.

"It's getting late."

Um? !

Gu Siwei didn't understand what the two old men meant.

When Old Man Yu saw that Comrade Xiao Gu didn't understand, he said, "We are waiting to try your craft tonight!"

Only then did Gu Siwei realize that it turned out that the two of them wanted to eat the food they cooked.

"I can't do it tonight, my wife will take charge tonight," Gu Siwei said.

"Xiao Hu can also cook, I really didn't notice it."

When Old Man Li heard this, he immediately asked questions.

Nowadays, as long as there are men who are not cooks, women cook. When he saw Gu Siwei cooking at first, he thought Hu Yanqiu didn't know how to do it. But now when he heard Hu Yanqiu cooking, he couldn't help but think that Hu Yanqiu didn't do it either. The sigh of knowing how to cook.

"The talks can't be concluded. Isn't this a practice? Let's try her skills today," Gu Siwei said.

"I haven't tried Xiao Hu's craftsmanship yet," Old Man Yu said with a smile.

In the eyes of Old Man Yu and Old Man Li, if they no longer know how to cook, as long as it is cooked by a woman, it will definitely be much better than the two of them. These days, Gu Siwei and others are not at home, and the two old men put a room full of dishes. In the end, every meal The meal consisted of rice with pickles, or vegetables from the garden, roasted bacon, or something like that.

When it comes to color, flavor, and other things, the requirements for the two old men are too high. When they are left to themselves, there is only one requirement for the food: cooked!

"Like you, I have never eaten it before," Gu Siwei said.

Now the two old men were dumbfounded, because they understood that it wasn't Hu Yanqiu who knew how to hide in the past, but that she didn't know how to do it at all.

It's hard for the two old men to tell you whether you should let your wife cook tonight or cook it yourself. We haven't had a decent meal in a long time.

Just like that, the time passed by as the two old men and the young man chatted.

The sun was about to set, and Gu Siwei and the others began to walk back.

By the time they arrived at the door of the big house, Hu Yanqiu had already prepared the meal and put it on the table.

"Wash your hands and eat!"

Hu Yanqiu greeted everyone to start dinner.

Gu Siwei washed his hands and walked to the table. He looked at the dishes on the table today and couldn't help but praise them.

"Not bad!"

Judging from the color alone, it's quite good. At least the cucumber and scrambled eggs are yellow, green, and there is no color skewing. The cucumber and fried bacon dices also look normal, except that the cucumber pieces are of different sizes, the cucumbers are cut into varying thicknesses, and the fried eggs are of various sizes.

But this is not a problem for novices, no one can get things done right the first time.

"Taste it!"

Hu Yanqiu's eyes were filled with enthusiasm, and he wanted to hear Gu Siwei's evaluation.
