Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Go home and sleep until dawn. In fact, it’s not like you just sleep until dawn without doing anything. These days, Gu Siwei goes to work on his pile of broken fruit trees in the middle of the night. With such busy work, sometimes he loses track of time. It was like last night, so I got up a little late today.

It's not that I didn't sleep well, but that I slept well at this time. I fell asleep as soon as I lay down on the bed. You said this is strange. Lao Gu really wasn't sleepy. There was nothing I could do. He fell asleep and slept until morning. Seven or eight o'clock.

He quickly got up and washed up. Gu Siwei planned to go to the factory today. Firstly, he wanted to see how his apprentice was doing with his iron plow. Secondly, he wanted to bring something with him to see Xu Congwen, his old friend.

The most important thing is to buy a gas lamp, whether it is for Guo Xiangping and the others to use first, or for their own use in the future, this thing is the most suitable lighting tool for rural areas before there are electric lights.

When he got out of the house, Gu Siwei saw Sicui working in the vegetable garden again. The girl was so diligent. She was either busy here or there in the morning, either in the vegetable garden or in the poultry house over there.

"Sicui, have you eaten?" Gu Siwei asked loudly.

Sicui looked up and saw Gu Siwei getting up. She first said, "Brother, are you up?"

Then he nodded and said: "I have eaten. The food last night was heated up and eaten with steamed buns. I didn't finish it all. There is some left. Do you want to heat it up? You can eat some before leaving?"

"Do your business. I don't need to heat it up here. Just put it in with steamed buns. By the way, if there's anything you want when I go to the factory, I'll bring it back to you."

Gu Siwei wanted to ask his sister what she wanted so that he could buy it back.

Sicui replied: "I don't want anything, I have everything."

"Then I'm leaving." Gu Siwei said and turned back to the house. He took out two pancakes and stuffed them with the remaining pickles and shredded pork from last night. He put the basket on his back and prepared to eat all the way.

When he got out of the house, Gu Siwei suddenly found a large wooden barrel placed at the door of the house.

Of course the barrel belonged to Gu Siwei's own family. What was strange about Gu Siwei was not the barrel, but the fact that there were seven or eight tortoises crawling inside the barrel. They were quite big, and the smallest one weighed three kilograms.

"Where did this bastard come from?"

Gu Siwei asked Sicui loudly.

After hearing this, Sicui immediately stood up and said to Gu Siwei as if offering a treasure: "You saw it, I caught him!"

"You caught them all?" Gu Siwei suddenly felt that this girl was too capable.

"When did you catch them? You are really capable. You caught so many by yourself."

When Sicui heard her brother praising herself, her eyes almost turned into crescent moons with laughter: "When I came back yesterday, I didn't tell you that I would go out for a while after dinner. I caught it at that time. I wanted to give you a surprise. , Who would have known that when I went to collect it this morning, I found quite a lot.”

"Not bad, not bad, I'll cook it for you when I get back." Gu Siwei looked at these bastards and smiled with satisfaction.

Suddenly, I remembered that I was going to see my friends this time, so I said to Sicui, "Sicui, I'll take a few of them to see my friends."

Sicui said: "I was just about to tell you, take two to Hu Yanqiu's sister's house, and you can just look at the others. Anyway, this thing is not uncommon. We can catch it if we want. There are plenty of them in the river, and we have people here." I don’t eat it much either”.

Hearing what Sicui said, Gu Siwei took a few tortoises, put them into the basket, and continued on his way.

When we got to the edge of the cliff, one pancake had been eaten, and the remaining pancake was not good to eat now. I threw it into the space and went down the rope ladder to the boat. All the way to the valley mouth of Liu Guo's family, I called Dezhu and put it at the entrance of the village. , and asked Dezhu to row the boat back, while Gu Siwei borrowed Yang Chuanwu's mule and rode all the way to the factory.

When they arrived at Zheng Youcai's Zhuangzi, Gu Siwei found Zheng Youcai's nephew and handed him a bag of grain that Zheng Youcai had brought for him. After telling him what Zheng Youcai had told him, he went all the way to the factory.

When they arrived near the factory, they found a deserted place. Gu Siwei first threw the mule into the space, and then picked up a small wild boar from the space. It weighed about twenty kilograms and he lifted it directly onto his shoulders with his legs.

Arriving at the small courtyard door of Xu Congwen's house, Gu Siwei saw that the door was unlocked, so he knew someone was at home, so he stood at the door and gently knocked on the door knocker.

"Old Xu, Old Xu!"

Gu Siwei shouted loudly into the courtyard.

"Who is it?"

What came from the courtyard was not Lao Xu's voice, but the voice of a rather young woman, followed by footsteps approaching the door.

Squeak!

The door opened, and a little girl about sixteen or seventeen years old with student hair stuck her head out of the door. She was obviously startled when she saw Gu Siwei.

"Who are you looking for?"

the girl asked with a confused look on her face.

Gu Siwei took a step back, first looked around, then looked at the yard, and then confirmed that this was the yard of Old Xu's house.

"Is Xu Congwen at home?" Gu Siwei asked the little girl.

"Oh, you are looking for my uncle, he is not at home."

The little girl held the door tightly, and Gu Siwei felt that the little girl might think of herself as a bad person.

"Then when will he come back?" Gu Siwei asked.

The little girl shook her head: "I don't know. I went out in the morning. If you wait, you will probably wait until the evening."

Gu Siwei didn't have the time to wait for Xu Congwen till night, so he said: "Well, I brought him some things, and I'll put them in the yard first. You can just talk to him when he comes back. I'll I won’t wait for him.”

"thing!"

The little girl's eyes were a little alert: "You are the one here to give me a gift, right?"

After hearing this, Gu Siwei was immediately happy: "Giving gifts, just like Lao Xu. What can you do for me by giving him gifts? I am his friend. If you tell him that Xiao Gu has been here, he will understand."

This little girl's movie is really funny. You should give gifts to officials or rich people. What's the point of giving gifts to a technician? You can't let him do more work.

If there is no need to give gifts for this matter, Mr. Xu, a scalper, is now rushing to do the work, and there are many comrades who are also rushing to use their energy. Not only Lao Xu, but even Lao Gu's silly apprentice Qiao Yitong is such a spirited guy, society A pillar of strength, except the lazy Lao Gu.

"Oh, you are Gu Siwei."

When the little girl heard the surname Gu Siwei, she thought of the little year-end friend her uncle often talked about. When her uncle kept praising her, the little girl originally thought that no matter how young she was, she must be in her thirties, wearing a pair of glasses. Wearing a Chinese tunic suit and an octagonal hat, he looks elegant and polite.

Who would have thought that the person in front of him would be so young, not much older than himself, and he was quite handsome, just like an actor in a movie.

"Yes, I am Gu Siwei. I said don't let me stand here anymore. I'm still carrying a pig on my shoulder. Please put the things in," Gu Siwei said.

The little girl turned sideways, opened the door, and let Gu Siwei into the yard.

Gu Siwei did not go in. When he was at the door, he put down the piglet on his shoulder, and then took out two tortoises from the basket. In addition, there were two pheasants and a dozen wild duck eggs. .

"so much"

The little girl was shocked by Gu Siwei's generosity. Now giving away a pig is already a fatal gesture. Adding these things, the little girl felt that Gu Siwei didn't look like a person who did good things. It was all shown in the movie. Well, bad guys can easily corrupt cadres if they act generously.

Then I thought about it, and it seems that there is really nothing that can be corroded about my uncle. As for any secrets or anything like that, not to mention that the things developed by Lao Xu are not considered secrets. Even if they are, with the current domestic technical level, others I don’t like it either.

Gu Siwei didn't know that the little girl standing next to him had the same view as Liu Dezhu for a moment, and classified himself as a spy.

Clapping his hands and putting the basket back on his back, Gu Siwei said to the little girl, "Okay, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he walked out of the yard directly.

The little girl closed the door and returned to the house. After a while, she heard her aunt's voice ringing in the yard.

"Weiwei, where did you get all these things at home?"

As soon as he entered the yard, Xu Congwen's lover Xu Guangying saw a small wild boar at the door of the yard, two tortoises next to it, and other things.

"My uncle's friend, named Gu, sent it to me." The little girl ran out and explained to her aunt.

Xu Guangying said with a smile: "This man is too particular. Lao Xu gave him something, and he has given it to him several times."

"He is quite young. He looks about seventeen or eighteen years old. He is quite tall, as long as a telegraph pole. Aunt, could it be that uncle told the wrong person? Why is he so young? Maybe we can chat with my uncle?"

Xu Guangying smiled and said: "What do you know, little girl? My aunt has seen a man in his twenties commanding a group of people in their fifties and sixties to work before."

At this point, the smile on Xu Guangying's face suddenly disappeared, and he paused for a while and let out a long sigh.

"Aunt, have you remembered what you said again?" The little girl was very observant. Seeing Xu Guangying's expression change, she made a close guess.

"It's okay." Xu Guangying smiled bitterly: "Where are the people?"

"He's gone."

"You girl, you didn't even stay for a meal when someone came here." Xu Guangying was a bit dumbfounded.

The girl said: "I didn't come in a hurry, so he left in a hurry."

In a hurry?

Now there are four more pig trotters in the basket Gu Siwei is carrying, as well as more than six kilograms of pickled wild boar strips, which are sent to Hu Yanqiu's family.

At this moment, Gu Siwei was holding a paper bun in his hand. Inside the paper bun were three diced buns that had just come out of the steamer. Chicken, sour bamboo shoots and diced meat were mixed together. The proportions were quite good and the juice was rich. Gu Siwei originally I wanted to buy a big meat bun, but when I smelled this smell, I immediately changed my mind.

I ate two with vinegar in the store and drank a bowl of soup. I bought three more while waiting to leave and ate them while walking.

When we arrived at the door of the store where Hu Yanqiu worked, the three buns happened to be wiped out.

As soon as he stood at the door, Gu Siwei saw Hu Yanqiu looking towards him, so he waved to her.

"Yanqiu, a handsome young man is here to see you."

When colleagues saw this scene, they made a joke about Hu Yanqiu.

Hu Yanqiu replied: "I asked you to laugh at me. From now on, I will not tell you apart from the things he gives me."

Without waiting for anyone to say anything else, he trotted to the door with Deng Deng.
