Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

After eating, we chatted with everyone about eating and drinking for almost an hour before everyone went back to the house to sleep.

This sleep lasted until the next morning, and no one said they had insomnia. Everyone fell asleep as soon as they got into bed, and it was time to get up as soon as they opened their eyes.

After Gu Siwei finished washing up, he went out to look around where a few old men were working. When he came back, breakfast was already on the table.

Everyone prepares the meal in a basin. Those who want to sit at the edge of the table sit on the edge of the table, and those who want to hold it in their hands hold it in their hands. Anyway, as long as you are willing, no one has any objection to eating breakfast upside down.

Breakfast is rice porridge with salted fish on a brick. If you still want to eat some, there is also fried dough pancakes baked in a big pot. The folks here call these pancakes.

This thing is very simple to make, just add salt to the batter. If you are more particular, add leeks or other vegetables. When the pot is hot, use a spoon to scoop a spoonful of batter into the pot, and then use the pot The shovel spreads out a round pancake.

If you want to be more particular, spread an egg on top of the round pancake.

This morning, chef Hu Yanqiu obviously didn't pay attention to it. There was only batter, no eggs, and a lot of oil. When the batter was picked up, a layer of oil hung on the plate.

If this thing were put into Gu Siweilai's era, it would definitely be unhealthy, because everyone advocates a diet with less oil and less salt, but now it is the best food, especially for manual workers, here is a piece of food The mush can carry several bowls of rice porridge even if you are hungry.

Gu Siwei first drank a bowl of rice porridge, which was paired with a finger-long salty fish. He put the small salted fish in the pot and roasted it without adding oil. When the fish body turned into caramel color, the fragrance was also Brought out.

Soft and glutinous rice porridge, paired with crispy and crispy salted fish. It has an authentic farmhouse taste. I can't say how fine or good it is, but it tastes sweet.

After a bowl of rice porridge, a small salted fish was also declared scrapped.

Gu Siwei rinsed the bowl with water and shook it twice, trying to get rid of the remaining water in the bowl as much as possible.

When he got to the pot, Gu Siwei opened the lid, picked up the spatula, shoveled a piece of paste into the bowl.

When he was about to put the lid back on the pot, he suddenly heard his brother-in-law shout: "Brother-in-law, don't put the lid on, I'll get another piece."

After hearing this, Gu Siwei was not ready to cover up. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard his wife speaking.

"How many pieces have you eaten?"

Hu Yanping's happy face immediately dropped: "Two pieces!"

"Then you still want to eat?" Hu Yanqiu said.

After hearing this, Hu Yanping sat down again honestly.

Gu Siwei said: "Two yuan is nothing for such a big child, just let him eat a little more."

Hu Yanqiu said: "It's not that I don't want to give it to him. He is my younger brother, so why would I be reluctant to give it to him? I'm afraid that he will burst his stomach. Do you know how many bowls of rice porridge he has eaten?"

How could Gu Siwei know this, so he waited for his wife to answer her own questions.

"Two bowls, two bowls of rice porridge, plus two pieces of rice porridge, will make him cry. I'm afraid that his stomach will be broken by eating it," Hu Yanqiu said.

At this time, Lao Li said: "It is normal for teenagers to eat, and when they are growing, it is better to eat more."

"Uncle Li, you don't know, this kid eats a lot. If you don't control it, he will have to eat something to help digestion later," Hu Yanqiu said.

After hearing this, Old Man Li said: "Why does such an old child have problems with eating?"

Old Man Yu said: "Now is not the time when we were young. We were hungry for nine meals in three days. Although we are barely able to eat now, as long as we are workers, we still have something to eat at home."

Lu Yan also said: "Yes, life is getting better after all."

"What a ball!"

Old man Zhou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Stop bragging about your money, you are better than anything else!"

Poof!

Gu Siwei was immediately happy, looked at Old Man Zhou and said with a smile: "I always thought you couldn't speak."

Old man Zhou glanced at Gu Siwei and began to practice his silent meditation again.

Although he was scolded, Lu Yan was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said to Old Man Zhou, "That's right. Talking is better than staying silent."

Old man Zhou returned to his previous appearance.

Fortunately, there are no narrow-minded people here, so everyone continues to talk.

Gu Siwei couldn't bear to look like his brother-in-law, but he didn't dare to say what he would do in front of his wife, so he looked at her first.

Hu Yanqiu may also feel that what he did just now is a bit too much and he shouldn't talk about his brother in front of everyone. When his husband looked at him and understood what he meant, he nodded slightly.

Seeing that he had received permission, Gu Siwei came to squat down next to his brother-in-law, divided the paste in his bowl into two, took the larger piece and put it into his brother-in-law's bowl.

Hu Yanping didn't dare to eat just like that. He raised his head and looked at his sister first. When he saw her sister turned her face away, he started eating the paste with a smile.

Gu Siwei ate half a piece of pancake and listened to a few old men talking about today's work.

"Comrade Siwei, can our house be built now?" Old Yu looked at Gu Siwei and asked.

Gu Siwei was a little confused and asked, "Are the ingredients ready?"

"Building it while you're doing it, what's the difference between building it after everything is done? Besides, even if it's done, you might not know where something went wrong while you're waiting to build it, and you'll have to make corrections on the spot, so that's not as good as now. Let’s just build it up and adjust it little by little, what do you think?”

Old Man Yu said.

"Don't call me Comrade Siwei. If you are older, just call me Siwei or Gu Siwei. It sounds more friendly."

After Gu Siwei finished speaking, he added: "If you think it works, then start it."

Old Man Yu said: "What do you mean we can do what we say? You are the commander-in-chief, you have to take the lead!"

"What am I commanding? Anyway, the house was built for you. If the building collapses, you will be crowded in the winter. Otherwise, you have to build it well. If you have any problems that cannot be solved, you can come to me. I can't guarantee whether it can be solved. There is no guarantee when it will be resolved. As for whether the house you build is safe or not, that has nothing to do with me.

Okay, that's it, now I announce in the name of the commander-in-chief, Lao Yu, you are now the commander-in-chief of building a house. Ok, let’s break up the meeting.” Gu Siwei waved his hand and threw away all the responsibilities.

The four old men, including Old Man Zhou who had been silent all this time, were a little confused. They looked up at Gu Siwei and then lowered their heads again.

Gu Siwei's words almost choked Hu Yanping. He stretched his neck and looked at his brother-in-law. He felt that his brother-in-law was free and easy. Looking at his demeanor, he was stunned that he had nothing to do.

"You just don't care?"

Old Man Yu thought for a long time before he recovered.

"What do I care? You didn't even bring a good grain of rice, and I still miss you? Do you know how busy I am?" Gu Siwei said smoothly.

"What are you busy with? Sleeping or taking a walk?" Old Man Li couldn't stand it anymore.

How could Gu Siwei care about this? "My life is like this. Don't be envious. If you work hard, you will one day live a life like mine."

After half of listening, Old Man Li didn't want to talk to Gu Siwei anymore.

Gu Siwei put the last pancake into his mouth, then stood up with the bowl. At this time, Sicui happened to have finished eating, so he also put Gu Siwei's bowl away and prepared to wash it.

Gu Siwei felt that today, if he hadn't been a bad singer, he would have sang a song to express his love for his current life.

What else can I say about this day? When the wife cooks, she not only cooks the food but also puts it in front of her. After eating, the sister and the wife take turns washing the dishes, and he is the master of the house. If he is carrying a bird cage and an eagle on his arm, then The only thing that matters is whether there are any dandy boys.

Although he couldn't sing, Gu Siwei could hum. He hummed the ditty happily and said to his wife: "I'm going to the village."

"Brother-in-law, I'll go with you too."

Seeing that Gu Siwei was about to leave, Hu Yanping also took a few mouthfuls and stuffed the rest of the paste into his mouth. As a result, his mouth was too small and couldn't fit it in. Even though the stuffing was put in, there was still half a piece left. The mess is hanging out of the mouth.

"What are you going to do with me?"

When Hu Yanqiu saw his younger brother's appearance, he immediately raised his eyebrows, showing the majesty of an eldest sister and a mother.

"I'm going to learn skills from my brother-in-law." Hu Yanping was a smart boy. He thought of an excuse in a blink of an eye.

How could Hu Yanqiu be blinded by him? Hu Yanqiu had almost brought him up since he was a child. To put it mildly, Hu Yanping pouted his buttocks, and Hu Yanqiu knew what he was doing.

"What skills do you want to learn? Stay here honestly, and you can follow suit later during Sicui's work class. If you have any questions, wait until your brother-in-law comes back to ask," Hu Yanqiu said.

Hu Yanping's head turned between his sister and brother-in-law, and then he winked at Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei saw it, but how could he care about it, so he shrugged at his brother-in-law, then spread his hands. The colleague who spread his hands curled his lips to show that he was helpless.

Gu Siwei didn't want to take this kid with him. He didn't feel it at first, but the whole trip here made Gu Siwei very irritated. He kept asking questions, and they were very ridiculous questions, and they didn't even know the boundaries. One is still asking how tall are you, brother-in-law, and the next one jumps to the topic of why animals are divided into male and female.

You can say that this guy has a unique perspective and special ideas, and that he is a genius or something, but who would want to be with such a genius? He is just a super chatty person.

"You... I've misjudged you." Hu Yanping felt that his brother-in-law was too useless and couldn't help him even with this little thing.

Gu Siwei ignored him at all.

With the help of his wife, he got rid of his brother-in-law, Gu Siwei was in a better mood, and Xiao Geer even hummed.

"The big girl is beautiful, the big girl is flirtatious, the big girl walked into the green gauze tent...".
