Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

"Yes, yes, it's about spring plowing."

Gu Siwei nodded repeatedly.

Hu Yanqiu and Sicui couldn't help but laugh, because Gu Siwei came back because of spring plowing. They all ran back because they were too suffocated at the factory and couldn't bear it.

"Here, I'll give you something good." At this time, Gu Siwei took out a pineapple from the box and put it in Song Rui's hand.

Song Rui looked at the pineapple with a curious look on his face: "What the hell is this? It's green, is it ripe? It doesn't look like it's ripe."

Seeing this thing for the first time, Song Rui was not stupid and naturally knew that this thing was edible, but he wondered if it could be delicious when it looked like this.

After saying that, I put it in front of my nose and smelled it, and there was a clear fruity aroma.

"It's quite fragrant, and the taste is quite special. What is this?" Song Rui asked.

Gu Siwei said: "This is a pineapple."

"Pineapple, where does this thing come from? Where did you get it?" Song Rui asked.

"Given by the army."

Hu Yanqiu said at this time: "Give Brother Song Rui another one. Didn't I say on the road that this thing can be kept for a while? Let him take it back for my sister-in-law and children to try."

"Why didn't I remember?" Gu Siwei then took another one out of the cardboard box.

Song Rui immediately said: "Don't carry it out. I have nothing to do anyway. Keep this for me to take back. Now I will go to your house to eat."

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "That's okay!"

"What to do with this horse?"

After all the luggage was sent to the boat and people got on the boat, Hu Yanqiu looked at the two horses on the shore and asked Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei said: "Put it in the livestock house here first, and wait for it to be transported back to our house tomorrow. Isn't there a lifting bucket over there? There should be no problem in lifting two horses, right?"

Song Rui looked at the horse and said, "That must be no problem. Even if the two horses are tied together, they won't be much heavier than your big beam. Putting them on top will save you the trouble of pulling heavy things every time. They are all hairy. Don’t worry about tomorrow, let’s just send them back today first. I will come and accompany you to transport the two horses. Spring plowing is about to begin, so this horse has arrived at the right time.”

Gu Siwei thought for a while and felt that what Song Rui said was right, so he asked Song Rui to watch the horses here first, and he sent Hu Yanqiu and others back first.

While waiting to pick up Song Rui and Dafa Lizi when they came back, Song Rui, who was on the boat, handed Gu Siwei an envelope.

"What is this?"

Song Rui said: "Letters from those old men in your family."

Only then did Gu Siwei realize that this whole package was a packaged letter.

"Good guy, there are a lot of bulging bags. They should be happy now. Every time they receive a letter from home, it makes them happy for a long time." Gu Siwei finished with a smile and put the letter in the cabin.

Dafa and Lizi were very quiet. Gu Siwei didn't know if it was because of the space. Anyway, the two guys were very obedient from the time they got on the boat to the foot of Silver Pine Cliff. Even if the rope on the boom caught them, they were nowhere to be seen. A little bit of resistance.

So the whole process was extremely smooth.

After hoisting the two horses back home, Gu Siwei remembered the letter and went down the cliff to retrieve the letter. He gave it to Lu Yan and asked him to distribute the letters to each person.

Gu Siwei started to peel the pineapple. After peeling it, he added some salt to the water and soaked the pineapple in the salt water. Gu Siwei forgot and didn't know whether to soak the pineapple in this way, but after thinking about it, he soaked it. Soak it in, otherwise it's not a good thing to eat it and make your mouth rot.

While waiting for the pineapples to soak, Hu Yanqiu was already preparing to cook.

Song Rui and Sicui were helping. Gu Siwei wanted to get closer, but they were driven away. So Gu Siwei had to pull up a small bench and sit aside.

While Gu Siwei was chatting with them, Youxu just walked over.

He came to Gu Siwei's side and whispered: "Xiao Gu, go and take a look, there seems to be something wrong with Old Man Zhou."

"Um?"

Gu Siwei didn't react for a while.

Seeing Gu Siwei's appearance, You Xugang repeated it again.

Now Gu Siwei stood up: "Let's go and take a look."

After walking a few steps, Gu Siwei asked: "Why do you feel something is wrong?"

"You'll know when you go and take a look," Youxugang said.

Gu Siwei didn't think much and followed You Xugang to the door of the big wooden house.

Now the big wooden house has been divided into rooms, and everyone has his own room. Although each room is small, it is definitely different than before when the big guys were crowded together.

Standing at the door, Gu Siwei looked in through the window.

At this time, old man Zhou, also known as Zhou Guangxian, was sitting on the edge of the bed with a dull look in his eyes. His whole body seemed to have collapsed. His originally cold face was filled with an aura of decadence, even a bit like the aura of death. He looked like Although this person is alive, he seems to have no soul.

"I'll go, what's going on?"

Gu Siwei felt that You Xugang was right. Old man Zhou seemed like something had happened.

Thinking about it, Gu Siwei's eyes fell on Zhou Guangxian's hand. At this moment, Zhou Guangxian was holding the letter that had just been sent. The letter had been opened and the letter paper was also held in his hand.

In all likelihood, there was some news in the letter that made Zhou Guangxian like this.

As for what information it was, Gu Siwei couldn't guess. He knew why Zhou Guangxian came here. He didn't know his specific position. How could he know the deeper situation of Zhou Guangxian's family?

Without thinking much, Gu Siwei stepped forward to the door of Zhou Guangxian's cabin and knocked lightly.

"Old man Zhou!"

"I'm fine!"

After almost half a minute, Zhou Guangxian's voice came from the room.

"I know you're fine. Open the door and I'll have a word with you," Gu Siwei said.

This time Zhou Guangxian came to the door soon and opened the door with a creak.

"What's up?"

At this moment, Zhou Guangxian has returned to his original cold appearance. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Gu Siwei would not have believed that Zhou Guangxian at this moment and Zhou Guangxian just now were the same person.

"It's okay, I just asked you to go out to eat pineapples," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Zhou Guang didn't do anything else at first, just hummed, and then asked: "Is there anything else?"

"Nothing else, I just asked you to go eat and hurry up, otherwise the pineapples will get cold," Gu Siwei said.

At this moment, Gu Siwei didn't think about whether the pineapples would get cold at all. He just cared about Zhou Guangxian and was afraid that something would happen to him.

Zhou Guangxian didn't care about whether the pineapple would get cold at the moment. How could he focus on the pineapple now?

You Xu just arrived and heard it. At other times, he might have laughed, but at this moment he really couldn't laugh. As an artist, his mind is delicate and sensitive. He knew Zhou Guangxian's side at a glance. Something big must have happened, so he called Gu Siwei.

Although Zhou Guangxian was crying all day long, and Li Fanghai and Yu Yingzhi would tease him about his sad face from time to time, everyone knew that joking was just a joke. The same experience and life under the same roof gave them a mutual understanding. Kinds of a family-like connection.

"I'll be there right away," Zhou Guangxian said.

Seeing that it was not easy to continue the conversation, Gu Siwei had no choice but to turn around and go back.

I was still worried about Zhou Guangxian, but after about five or six minutes, Zhou Guangxian came out as before, and Gu Siwei felt relieved, thinking that the old man was afraid that he had resisted the bad news.

After a while, Yu Yingzhi and Li Fanghai came back, each holding a rabbit in their hands.

"Siwei, Yanqiu, are you back? That's good, let's see, are you fat?"

As soon as he came back, Li Fanghai showed off the rabbit he had hunted.

"Why are you so fat? You're as skinny as a hemp pole." Lu Yan glanced at the rabbit and said, "Throw the rabbit away and come here to eat pineapples."

Li Fanghai came over strangely: "It's really a pineapple. Where did the pineapple come from at this time?"

"How did I know that if you eat something quickly, it will be gone if you don't?" Lu Yan said.

Li Fanghai laughed and said, "You can eat more. If you are not afraid of a bad mouth, just eat more."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "I thought you didn't know."

"Didn't I know? When I was fighting in the South Island, there were so many things like this." Li Fanghai smiled and talked about his previous heroic deeds.

As he spoke, he took a small bamboo stick on the table, inserted a piece of pineapple and put it in his mouth.

After tasting it, he said: "It's sweet, but it doesn't taste good. The ripened stuff tastes a little worse than the ripe stuff."

"It's like this, but it's good to have some at this time." Yu Yingzhi also ate a piece at this time. When he said this, he threw the bamboo stick out of his hand. It seemed that he only ate one piece to taste it, and didn't care. Be prepared to eat more.

Lu Yan and others have all seen pineapples and must have eaten them, so each of them ate a small piece, including You Xugang who ate two pieces, the rest Gu Siwei ate one piece, Hu Yanqiu ate one piece, and Sicui ate one piece. After eating two slices, Da Mao ate almost half of it, and Yanping took the rest and fed it to the monkeys.

After eating the pineapple, everyone started to eat. A group of people gathered around the big table to finish the meal in a lively manner. Gu Siwei lay down on the bamboo chair in the room and suddenly felt a sense of refreshment emanating from his whole pores.

“My own home is indeed the most relaxing place”

Gu Siwei said happily.

"It's true! I also feel that as soon as I get home, I feel a lot more energetic. I'm a little uncomfortable going back to the factory. I don't know if I can get used to going back to work in the future..."

Hu Yanqiu happened to walk in at this time and immediately agreed with her husband's words.

As soon as Gu Siwei saw his wife coming, he immediately stood up and moved the bamboo lounge chair next to him so that his wife could sit down. The couple just sat on the bamboo chair, rocking it gently while looking at the moonlight outside the window, without saying a word. Chatting quietly.

Not even a quarter of an hour later, Hu Yanqiu's breathing became lighter, followed by a slight snore.

Gu Siwei looked at his wife and couldn't help but smile knowingly. He stood up and went back to the house to tidy up the bed. Then he came back and gently picked up his wife, put her back on the bed and covered her with a quilt. Then he returned to the recliner and slowly sat alone. Slowly continued to shake.
