Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Chapter 43 What a coincidence

"Give me one"

"Give this one to me"

"I want the last one."

In an instant, the wild animals in Gu Siwei's sack were distributed like this. Gu Siwei didn't have a scale at hand, so he just wanted to calculate the weight and ask for a price. Of course, he couldn't let the aunts suffer a loss. If you don't do it for no other reason than Gu Siwei, you will be damaging your moral character.

"You don't have a scale?"

The first aunt saw it.

Gu Siwei was a little embarrassed: "No really, but let me estimate it here. You can rest assured that it will be less than the actual weight, and you won't suffer any loss."

"Don't estimate, I'll lend you a scale." The aunt waved her hand, turned around and went to the small shop selling things next to her, and asked someone to borrow a scale.

Once you make an appointment on the scale, the approximate price will come out.

Gu Siwei gave another one or two cents in profit, and the business was considered finished.

All the things he brought were sold, and Gu Siwei had no choice but to turn around, find a deserted place, and take out another batch of goods from the space.

This time, halfway through the journey, we encountered the same situation again, so Gu Siwei sold it again.

When he carried the sack into the factory again, Gu Siwei didn't dare to sell it anymore. He rejected the aunties several times along the way, and then he came to the door of the family home that Hu Yanqiu mentioned.

When he arrived at the door, Gu Siwei saw an acquaintance, the aunt who bought her own pheasant for the first time, walking towards the door with a bag of vegetables.

At this time, the aunt also saw Gu Siwei, smiled at Gu Siwei and said: "Young man, are you here to sell pheasants? Didn't you say there are none? Let me see."

Auntie bought a pheasant and then went to buy vegetables. Some mountain people selling vegetables praised the pheasant when they saw it, so Auntie thought that since the food was good, she would buy another one.

"I'm sorry, auntie, I really can't sell this. I gave this to a friend. They helped me a lot. I have to express my gratitude to you. Wait for next time. I will get a good score next time. Thinking of you..." Gu Siwei said with a smile.

The aunt didn't force her after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll live in this hospital too. Which building does your friend live in?"

Gu Siwei reported the building number and house number.

The aunt was stunned after hearing this: "Who are you looking for?"

Gu Siwei didn't notice the expression on the aunt's face, and said: "Hu Yanqiu, doesn't she work in a store? She helped me buy some cheap cloth. I didn't have anything to thank her for, so I gave it to her." Order something”.

After hearing this, the aunt said yes and stopped talking. However, although she didn't speak, she still took a good look at Gu Siwei. Her eyes were almost like seeing a weasel trying to steal her own chicken.

Gu Siwei didn't notice the aunt's eyes. He was looking at the family area, looking at the number on the side of the building, trying to find which building Hu Yanqiu's house was in.

After passing the first building, Gu Siwei realized that he was following Hu Yanqiu's family. Judging from the appearance of this building, Hu Yanqiu's family must be unusual, because the buildings in front and behind were not ordinary tube buildings, but serious ones. Family building.

Looking at the windows and balconies outside, Gu Siwei estimated that the smallest one should be eighty or ninety square meters.

This area may not be much in the future, but as of now, eighty or ninety square meters is at least three bedrooms and one living room. A family that enjoys such housing standards will not be too low-level. At least they are middle-level cadres in the factory, so I don't know. Must be deputy director level or above.

Gu Siwei was not timid, he had no other thoughts, it was Hu Yanqiu who helped him, and he was returning the favor to Hu Yanqiu, and there was nothing else.

Unconsciously entering the stairs, Gu Siwei found that his aunt was still following him, so he smiled and asked, "I didn't expect you to live in this unit too."

The aunt smiled, took two steps to get ahead of Gu Siwei, and then took out the key and opened the door.

Gu Siwei was a little dumbfounded at this time, because he saw the house number clearly, and it seemed to be the one he was looking for. He felt that this was a bit too bizarre, so he looked at the house number carefully and thought about it, was it what Hu Yanqiu was talking about? Here, it’s not like I heard it wrong.

Just as Gu Siwei was thinking about it, Hu Yanqiu's voice came from the room.

"Mom, why are you back? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Hurry up and cook, or you won't be able to watch the movie in time."

The aunt looked at Gu Siwei who was standing stupidly at the door and said: "Young man, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in. The person you are looking for is here."

"Who?"

When Hu Yanqiu saw his mother talking outside the door, he walked over curiously and looked outside the door.

"Ah, Gu Siwei?!"

Hu Yanqiu became happy when he saw it was Gu Siwei: "Why are you here?"

At this time, Gu Siwei came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly at the aunt, and then said: "I'm here to give you something, thank you for your help."

As he spoke, he took off the sack from his shoulders.

As soon as the sack hit the ground, a crunching sound was heard.

"What did you bring?" Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei said: "A few pheasants and wild ducks are not valuable things. They are all hunted by me in the mountains. Don't dislike them. Auntie, I was sorry just now. I didn't know it was you."

As he said this, Gu Siwei began to dig into his pockets, preparing to send back the money spent by his aunt.

Hu Yanqiu's mother smiled when she saw it and pushed it away: "No, Xiao...Xiao Gu, don't take it back."

"My name is not Xiao Gu, my surname is Gu, Gu Xin Gu," Hu Yanqiu said.

"Oh, is it Gu Hongming's Gu? In other words, an innocent Gu?" Hu Yanqiu's mother asked.

Gu Siwei nodded repeatedly.

"Yanqiu, let Xiaogu come in and stand at the door. What's the big deal?" Hu Yanqiu's mother said.

"Thank you, auntie, I won't go in. I'm here just to deliver things. The folks over there are still waiting for me," Gu Siwei said politely.

He was here to repay the favor, not to have a relationship with Hu Yanqiu. Naturally, he wanted to leave as soon as the things were delivered.

"It's dinner time, why don't you stay for a meal?" Hu Yanqiu's mother said politely.

"Next time, auntie, next time, I really have something to do this time," Gu Siwei said, turning around.

By the time he finished speaking, he had already reached the corner of the stairs.

Hu Yanqiu was a little annoyed and said to Gu Siwei: "Why are you like this? Our food is not poisoned."

"I really don't have time, next time, definitely next time."

As he said this, he hugged Hu Yanqiu and said, "I will definitely try auntie's cooking next time. I really don't have time this time, and there are still many things to do."

Hu Yanqiu stamped his feet angrily.

Hu Yanqiu's mother saw that Gu Siwei was in a hurry to leave, and she actually kind of kept him here for dinner. Originally, she was wary of Gu Siwei because she knew that her daughter was beautiful and liked many people.

But seeing Gu Siwei's appearance and the expression on his face when he was talking to his daughter, as someone who had been there, she felt that the young man named Gu didn't have that thought at least now.

"Xiao Gu is so enthusiastic," Hu Yanqiu's mother said casually.

Hu Yanqiu said: "Yes, I helped him buy a piece of damp cloth from his aunt, and she gave him these things as a gift."

When he opened the sack and found six wild animals inside, Hu Yanqiu felt as if he had taken advantage of others.

"Which village is Xiaogu from?"

Hu Yanqiu shook his head and said: "I don't know, I seem to have said, I forgot, is it from Liulu or somewhere?"

There are two or three villages close to the factory, but Shimo Village is too far away. Hu Yanqiu doesn't even know where Shimo Village is.

"Okay, come in, take out the things, don't suffocate them to death, wait until the next time you see me, I will give you money to make up for it, it's not good to ask for other people's things," Hu Yanqiu's mother said.

Hu Yanqiu felt a little disappointed, so he sighed, dragged the sack into the house, and threw it into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Hu Yanqiu's mother sighed secretly.

Gu Siwei left the community and felt that he had almost paid off the favors he owed others. He felt relaxed for no reason and strolled casually on the street humming a little tune with his hands behind his back.

The roads in the factory are all cement roads and are new. They look like they are only a few years old at most. The roads are very new and have no cracks. What Gu Siwei knows is that people at this time were quite serious about doing things. Although they were poor, they didn't have much. If I dare to save materials on the project, they are all real materials. Not to mention that it is only a few years ago, even in a few decades, these roads will be able to get rid of part of the newly built roads.

The road is not wide, it is almost two lanes. There are quite a few people on the road. It may be close to meal time. The workers who are due to get off work have finished their work. The women who have returned from shopping for food and are preparing to cook are also going home one after another. The school-going children have long been playing in front of their homes on the roadside.

So now Gu Siwei sees a vivid atmosphere of workers' life.

Noisy, noisy, and lively, it always reveals a dull, refreshing picture of secular life.

I walked around to the door of the store and found that the store was closed at this time. I looked at the business hours on the door and found that the store opened at half past seven and closed at six in the afternoon. It's not open at night.

The store was not open, so Gu Siwei continued to walk around. When he came to a pastry shop, Gu Siwei used the meal ticket he had just exchanged to buy a meat bun and two steamed buns. It’s not that Gu Siwei likes to eat steamed buns, the buns now are really good. It's expensive, but it's worth it. It's stuffed with meat, and it's oily when you bite into it.

It's a pity that all the money in Lao Gu's pocket is useful. He still has to buy tools and daily necessities.

Therefore, Lao Gu was reluctant to part with him at this time.

After eating the food, Wuji Temple finally became a little more honest, and Gu Siwei continued to wander around.

Soon Gu Siwei discovered a problem, that is, the people on the street slowly began to flow in one direction, almost everyone holding a small bench.

Out of curiosity, Gu Siwei stretched out his ears and listened. Only then did he realize that everyone was heading towards the open-air cinema.

Gu Siwei did not expect that watching a movie at this time would be such a big scene, so out of curiosity, he followed the crowd towards the place where the movie was shown.
