Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Gu Siwei came out.

"Why don't you stay here at this late hour?"

Gu Siwei was a little curious about the two of them leaving as soon as they arrived.

Xiao Shuping said: "We are living in a place arranged by our work, and the place we live is not far away. But I need you to help find a boat and put it all the way to the intersection of the radar station."

"Are you staying at the radar station at night?"

Gu Siwei was stunned when he heard this.

Xiao Shuping nodded: "Yeah! Oh, I almost forgot, someone asked me to bring you a letter."

As he spoke, Xiao Shuping opened the small bag he carried with him, opened it and took out an envelope, and handed it to Gu Siwei's hand.

Gu Siwei looked puzzled, but he still reached out and took the letter. The envelope was surprisingly thick. Gu Siwei even wondered if there was a newspaper inside, otherwise there would be no such thick letter.

I took the letter and glanced at it, and found a line of writing on it with a brush. Gu Siwei personally inscribed it, and the signature below is You Keming.

Who is this You Keming? Gu Siwei muttered secretly in his heart.

But at this time, Gu Siwei heard Zheng Youcai's voice from over there, so he put the envelope into his pocket and looked in the direction of Zheng Youcai.

"Just in time, let me introduce you two to Zheng Youcai, the old bamboo weaving artist who went to Hong Kong this time," Gu Siwei said to Xiao Shuping.

Xiao Shuping looked in the direction where Gu Siwei was looking, and saw only an old man with a hunched back, dressed in ordinary clothes, looking like an ordinary farmer, followed by a half-year-old boy, about ten years old. appearance.

"Is this the one?" Xiao Shuping asked.

Um!

Gu Siwei replied and shouted to Zheng Youcai: "Uncle Zheng, Uncle Zheng, come here and introduce you to someone from the government. They heard that you are good at bamboo weaving, so now I want to I want you to go to Hong Kong and show them our domestic bamboo weaving skills."

Zheng Youcai looked confused after hearing Gu Siwei's words. He subconsciously pointed at his nose and asked Gu Siwei with a very suspicious expression, "Am I going to Hong Kong?"

As he asked, he walked towards Gu Siwei.

When Xiao Shuping saw Zheng Youcai coming, he immediately stretched out his hand: "Hello, hello, my surname is Xiao. You can call me Xiao Shuping. You are Comrade Zheng Youcai. I have heard of your name a long time ago."

"Hello Hello!"

Zheng Youcai's eyes fell on Xiao Shuping, and his body couldn't help but stiffen, because he could tell that the person in front of him was probably an official, otherwise he wouldn't have such a temperament, and he was still a big official. Anyway, he had never been from This thing can be seen in people like township mayors and town mayors.

Zheng Youcai was a little afraid of seeing officials, so when he saw Xiao Shuping, he couldn't help but start muttering in his heart, and his originally slouched body immediately straightened up.

"The government asked me to go to Hong Kong City?" Zheng Youcai's voice was slightly trembling when he asked.

Xiao Shuping saw it, but he remained calm, with the respect of a young man for an older man still on his face. He hummed and said, "We are looking for someone in this field. Gu Siwei recommended you to the organization. We I will come here to inform you so that you can be prepared. The departure time is tentatively set in one or two months. In addition to you, you can also take your apprentice with you."

Xiao Shuping pointed out the reason why Zheng Youcai was able to go without making a sound: That was because Gu Siwei recommended you.

Gu Siwei, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but give Xiao Shuping a thumbs up in his heart at this moment. If he had done it so naturally, he would have been a little deliberate. However, Xiao Shuping looked at Xiao Shuping, who spoke in a calm and unhurried manner. With a sense of nobility.

Zheng Youcai didn't react, he was still in a state of confusion.

"It's getting late, we have to go."

When Xiao Shuping saw Zheng Youcai's appearance, he knew that this person had probably never seen any big events before, and now he didn't know what to do when he heard the news.

As for Sun Mingshi next to him, he was just a child. Everyone didn’t pay much attention to him when they were talking. Naturally, he wouldn’t have any reaction. At this moment, the child’s only reaction was to look at the two with a pair of eyeballs. The two people, who were dressed very neatly, were full of curiosity.

So he simply left and left the rest to Gu Siwei. After all, he wanted the people and the money, and he was happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

Gu Siwei said: "Then wait!"

After saying that, Gu Siwei said to Sun Mingshi: "Silly boy, stop looking and call your Uncle Shitou to take the two guests to the ferry at the radar station."

"okay!"

When Sun Mingshi heard this, he immediately turned around and ran back, running back without shouting: "Uncle Shitou, Uncle Shitou!"

Xiao Shuping looked at the running children and couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "That's great!"

Gu Siwei didn't ask what was good or good. He was now thinking about what he just talked about. Everything was settled, but then it would have to be officially implemented. In other words, Gu Siwei would get a first-class license from the Hong Kong City as soon as possible. Go ahead and arrange these tasks.

Hey, there's not even a phone call at the moment, which is really inconvenient.

Gu Siwei sighed deeply in his heart, missing the convenience of being able to travel around the world with a mobile phone in a few decades.

After a while, Sun Mingshi brought the people over. Gu Siwei explained the matter, sent Xiao Shuping and Luo Yugang on the boat, and watched them leave the village. Then he was about to turn back to school to talk to Hu Yanqiu, and then returned. Go home.

Who knew that as soon as he turned his body, someone grabbed his arm.

"I said four dimensions, don't cheat me."

Gu Siwei turned around and found that it was Zheng Youcai. The old man had a bitter look on his face, as if he had suffered a lot.

"What did I do to you?" Gu Siwei smiled and clapped his hand away: "It's broad daylight, flirting, I have a wife."

Zheng Youcai glared at him: "I told you about going to Hong Kong City. Don't do anything against me when you come back. Wouldn't that cost me my life?"

Gu Siwei really didn't expect this, but he immediately said: "What the hell, the government sent you there, how can you not go?"

"Then if you don't recommend me, how can they know about me?" Zheng Youcai said.

Gu Siwei was immediately happy: "Hey, it turns out that I made the wrong recommendation. Okay, so you don't go and go to someone else. If someone else makes money there, don't blame me. I heard that the foreigners over there I really like handicrafts, like these things I made up, almost every piece of them is worth decades."

After saying that, Gu Siwei turned around and left again.

This time Zheng Youcai stopped him again: "Really?"

"What's true or false! Aren't you going? If you don't go, someone else will go. I don't believe it. Are you worried that no one will do the good thing?" Gu Siwei teased Old Man Zheng.

Old man Zheng had been with him for so long, how could he not know that he was teasing him, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go, I'll do it anyway."

"Go now, it's too late. I'll tell them next time I see them," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Gu Siwei knew that Zheng Youcai was short of money. To be precise, it was not that Zheng Youcai was short of money, but that his nephew's family was short of money. The nephew of Zheng Youcai mentioned last time was the one who always took good care of him. When he was working in the quarry, he met When the accident happened, people left, leaving orphans and widowers to depend on each other, although the eldest son took over the position of Zheng Youcai's nephew.

But with such a large family, life would not be very good without a working man in his prime. Zheng Youcai thought of his nephew's care for him and put in all the money he had earned from Gu Siwei.

Now that he heard that there was an opportunity to make money, Zheng Youcai couldn't care about anything else. In the eyes of old man Zheng, he had the responsibility to raise the children left by his nephew and marry them to a good family.

And these must have some strength, so as soon as he heard about making money, Zheng Youcai immediately became energetic.

"Don't tease me. I haven't been to Hong Kong City yet. I heard it's very good there, but I haven't seen it either. I just want to go and see it this time..." Zheng Youcai said.

Gu Si was a little confused after hearing this, and asked strangely: "Do you still know the Hong Kong market?"

Gu Siwei didn't know this anyway. Zheng Youcai almost stayed in the village, and no one mentioned it to him. How did he know that the outside world was very developed?

Being on the coast and at the factory, Gu Siwei thought it was not strange to know, but Zheng Youcai knew about it, so it was strange.

Zheng Youcai said calmly: "Of course I heard what others said. They said that the buildings over there are dozens of stories high. If you stand at the bottom and look up, your hat will fall off. I don't know how high these dozens of stories are. , has it grown into the clouds? I think it must have grown into the clouds. It’s so high, how could there be no clouds?”

"...".

Gu Siwei felt that this world... well, it was not completely closed after all. Even if there was a crack, news from the outside could still come in.

"Okay, go home and prepare. Pick up the little things you knitted, such as ponies, rabbits, etc., pick up the ones that are easy to carry, and pick up some with good craftsmanship. And go and talk to Ma Chun. "Yaye, please take Mingshi with you, and it will also open your eyes," Gu Siwei said.

"Okay, okay! But...".

"What's the matter?" Gu Siwei looked at the old man and asked.

Zheng Youcai said: "If the things I brought are sold for money, should I give some to the state?"

"..."

Gu Siwei really didn't think of this. How could he care about these trivial matters? But to Gu Siwei it was a trivial matter, but to Zheng Youcai it was no small matter.

"You will know after you ask Xiao Shuping and the others next time you see them. Ask me now, how will I know? Anyway, just hand it over if they accept it. If you don't mention this, just pretend that you don't know."

"How can you pretend not to know about the government's money?" Zheng Youcai said, "If someone found it, wouldn't it make a huge red face?"

"I didn't expect you, Old Zheng, to be quite active in paying taxes. Keep up your good character," Gu Siwei said cheerfully.

"No matter how big or small, I'm leaving."

Zheng Youcai said something and then greeted Sun Mingshi: "Silly boy, what are you looking at? Master will take you to Hong Kong City to see the colorful world outside!"
