Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Wu Meiling returned home. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw her husband coming back with a hoe, and greeted her husband into the main room.

"Master, Brother Siwei gave us ten kilograms of white noodles," Wu Meiling said.

Wu Meiling's husband is named Guo Shengshou, who is a descendant. His parents died early and he has no brothers or sisters. He could not find a wife before, but isn't this a good time? Being poor is glorious and justified. Guo Shengshou, the poor peasants of several generations Suddenly he had a little identity.

Wu Meiling's background was not good, so most workers in the city would not dare to marry her. However, some people with a little power would inevitably have some thoughts when they saw that she looked good.

Wu Meiling simply married into a mountain village and lived a small life with the honest Guo Shengshou.

The two are very different, but it's surprising that they can get along together. Firstly, Wu Meiling is not that kind of pretentious person, and secondly, Guo Shengshou is also simple, generous and kind-hearted.

Otherwise, who can allow their daughter-in-law to go to a young man's house all the time? Even though the young man is not often at home, there is no need to tie up the waistband of his wife's pants in a hurry.

At this moment, Guo Shengshou's face was full of surprise: "Where did this white noodles come from? Did you do something illegal?"

As he spoke, Guo Shengshou lowered his voice, fearing that others would hear him, and specifically looked back at the door. Even in his own home, Guo Shengshou felt his heart trembling.

More than ten kilograms of white flour!

I'm such a bitch!

"You still don't know what brothers Siwei are capable of. Even a wild boar can get a living. The people in the factory are rich, so it shouldn't be difficult to exchange for some flour."

Wu Meiling felt that this matter was a bit suspenseful, but based on her logic, there was nothing wrong with it.

"This... is too polite. Is it because you took care of Sicui and helped sew some clothes?" Guo Shengshou felt that this gift was a bit too big.

Not many people care about anything these days. Helping people make shoes or sew clothes seems to be not worth a bowl of flour.

"Brother Siwei is a very particular person. Do you think that just like your cousin, you throw your niece into someone else's house?" Wu Meiling said.

Guo Shengshou said with a naive smile: "We have already finished the fifth server."

"Stop laughing, let's secretly go to Brother Siwei's house after dinner in the evening. You light the fire, and I'll bake the pancakes. Now you go get some ivy and bring it back."

Guo Shengshou was a little confused and asked, "What do you want that thing for?"

Wu Meiling said: "Are you stupid? They gave us white flour, and we just continued with open hands? We don't have any other skills. We can re-dye the damp cloth that brother Siwei gave us last time."

Snapped!

Guo Shengshou clapped his hands and nodded: "This is what we should do. Reciprocity is a courtesy."

Wu Meiling said with a smile: "Go and take out the cotton hidden at home. Ermaozi will hold on for a while and sew the Sicui cotton jacket first."

"Well, let's do this."

Guo Shengshou looked at his wife with a smile, and his heart was filled with beauty.

Gu Siwei didn't know that the two of them were thinking about reciprocating with him at home. He gave Sicui some pancakes, but he didn't give more, just five or six. As for the vegetables that go with the pancakes, he didn't dare to give the meat that was too oily. Yes, I left some pickles and shredded pork.

A few decades later, the worst meal to fill your stomach was now the best. A single white flour pancake could defeat everything in the countryside.

After settling Sicui, Gu Siwei left the village and headed straight for Yinsong Cliff.

When they arrived at the place, Gu Siwei began to prepare to build a house. Gu Siwei chose the place to build the house. He chose it at the waist of the gourd-shaped valley. It happened to be a small hillside facing north and south, with plenty of sunshine.

The foundation for building a house is naturally the first to start. Gu Siwei came here this time to prepare for laying the foundation.

Originally, even though Gu Siwei was a child from the countryside, he had seen people build houses, so he didn't know much about building foundations, but he wasn't unfamiliar either.

According to Gu Siwei's plan, he mixed rocks and soil and tamped them with huge rocks. After tamping a large flat surface, he put logs on top, forming a well shape between the logs, and then used wooden dowels. Tie it down. In this case, at least Gu Siwei feels that the house is strong.

Stones are not a problem. They are the most abundant in the mountains. Even pebbles are easy to find. Just go to the river to find them.

Materials are not a problem, it’s just a matter of time and effort.

Anyway, Gu Siwei had nothing to do. What he was most worried about now was time, so the project was slowly started bit by bit.

After staying in Yinsongya for more than a day, Gu Siwei found some game and took it back to the village for a walk. He left a few chickens and ducks in the village and took the rest out for a walk. In fact, he arrived at Yinsong. Ya, but the news that the villagers got was that Gu Siwei went to the factory to exchange things again.

They went back and forth like this three times, and on the last trip, Gu Siwei didn't just go there fakely, but actually went to the factory with some wild animals and made an appointment with someone to make white noodles.

When we arrived at the agreed place, people were already waiting for Gu Siwei. It was convenient to exchange the tools. Gu Siwei was very satisfied, so he asked for a few more shovels and a plowshare.

After agreeing on a time to meet next time, Gu Siwei went back to the village and started working again.

Gu Siwei was busy working, and the other side of the village was also busy. Since the land was divided, everyone's enthusiasm has obviously increased. There are almost no people in the village sunbathing and chatting. As long as they are free, they all rush to their own fields. , the fields that no one had plowed before were plowed countless times.

The manure pits of each family were also put to use, and people kept carrying manure to water their fields.

Diligence meant diligence, but every now and then, the whole village smelled like manure, which really made Gu Siwei a little unbearable.

With the tools in hand and the foundation of the house laid solidly, Gu Siwei started to build the house according to his own ideas. In fact, it was not his idea. When watching short videos decades later, one of the things he liked to watch was repairing donkey hooves. , the second is to watch survival in the wild, and the third is to watch people build houses.

As the old saying goes, if you haven't eaten pork, you haven't seen pigs running away. The first batch of wood in the space has been dehydrated, and it comes in handy.

The first thing Gu Siwei has to do is to stretch the thread to the required width of the groove on the required wood. Then use an ax to dig out the groove, and dig out inlay grooves at both ends of the wood. In this case, the two pieces of wood will be They can be held together very tightly.

Pile up the wood one by one and add wooden dowels to form a wooden wall.

In fact, it is not a wooden wall. Once the tic-tac-toe-shaped pond is surrounded by four sides, it is a solid exterior wall of the house, which is the traditional house of Lao Maozi in the short video - Mukeleng.

The idea is very beautiful, and I think there is absolutely no problem with it.

But when Gu Siwei picked up the ax and started digging grooves in the peeled tree trunk, a problem arose.

When the ax goes down, it either goes too far and cuts outside the ink line, or it goes light and doesn't cut down many wood chips.

Finally, I cut a groove. When I put down the axe, I realized that the entire groove was curved. Not to mention that it was stuck on another tree trunk. Even if it was thrown on the flat ground, the trunk would look like a log. Still rolling.

New difficulties were placed in front of Gu Siwei.

And Gu Siwei also knew the solution: nothing else, just familiarity!

There are no shortcuts to this. Only by practicing over and over again and making your mind, eyes, and hands consistent can you dig out the correct grooves.

There's nothing much to say about this, just practice it over and over again with the axe.

Fortunately, Gu Siwei is not good at anything else, but he still has this little patience, otherwise he would not have been able to transform from a high school student into a CNC machine tool expert.

But the process of practicing this skill is obviously boring. As a person, Gu Siwei's mood also fluctuates. Sometimes he will get angry, and sometimes he will feel like giving up.

At this time, Xiao Ma and the other monkeys will be unlucky and will become Gu Siwei's punching bag.

After doing this a few times, the monkeys became more and more interested in seeing Gu Siwei's expression.

Time in the space moves much faster than outside. Although you don’t feel it in the space, you can tell when you compare the inside and outside. After practicing in space for a month, it would only last three days outside.

After throwing away the axe, Gu Siwei came out of the space with a livid face.

As soon as they came out, Xiao Ma and other monkeys who were eating the fruit suddenly dispersed when they saw the expression on Gu Siwei's face. They didn't even dare to make a squeak as they ran, only swishing sounds were heard everywhere.

Gu Siwei glanced at the shadows of the monkeys, came to the side of the solid foundation, and threw out a piece of waste he had cut out from the space.

A whole piece of material is almost ten meters long. It is about forty centimeters from top to bottom. Such material is quite rare outside. The reason why it is rare is not because of its thickness, but because it is more than ten meters long. It's almost as thick.

But now the material has become a pile of firewood, large and small.

The pile of firewood thrown out of the space was in a mess. Gu Siwei squatted next to it and got angry for a while. After waiting for the anger to subside, he slowly began to arrange the firewood neatly and stacked it next to the pile of firewood that had been built up.

During these days of practice, a huge firewood pile about three meters wide, seven meters long and more than two meters high has been built next to the homestead.

When you are in a low mood, you will not be able to continue practicing. Gu Siwei has experience. Working at this time is half the work with twice the work. It is better to stop and take a rest and wait until this negative attitude has passed before practicing again.

After stacking the firewood pile and covering it with the rain-proof stone slabs again, Gu Siwei looked at the rising sun on the ridge to the east.

After watching it for a while, I thought about going back to the village to take a walk and relax.
