Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Liu Fulin let out a long sigh, and after a while he slowly said: "I am just a loser. I can't keep the little things I have left at home! Alas!"

What he said made not only Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu, but also Sicui look confused.

Gu Siwei was about to stand up, but Sicui was so smart that he quickly ran into the house and brought a bamboo chair, placed it behind Liu Fulin, and motioned for the old man to sit down and speak slowly.

Liu Fulin sat down, thought for a while and said: "I asked around at Tuoshengshui during this period. Someone was very interested in a few gadgets in my house. They sold these gadgets, plus I have saved some over the years, and I may have to ask Siwei to borrow some more, so I can almost buy these few things.”

"Uncle, what do you want these things for?" Gu Siwei felt that this matter was a bit confusing.

Liu Fulin said: "What else could it be? This boy Dezhu is obsessed with that girl. I said I can't change it to anyone else, but they insisted again that if I want to marry his daughter, I have to pay this price!" "

"How can you want it so much?"

Hu Yanqiu was also a little shocked. At this time, it was indeed quite advanced to get married, but it was not a hard condition. If this thing became popular, then in all likelihood young people would not be able to get married. In her opinion, The most important thing about getting married is a compatible personality.

Hu Yanqiu thought so in his heart, but if Gu Siwei knew about it, he might say to her: Have you never been there a few decades later, who will marry you if you don't have a house?

A bitter look appeared on Liu Fulin's face again: "They are right. They say that if a girl marries to a good family outside, he will be happy with a little money, but if she marries here in Shimo Village, she must be like this. Price, otherwise there’s no need to negotiate!”

Gu Siwei knew that this was actually what people said. If he really wanted to give money, he would be a ghost if he could do it. Not to mention other things, his family was thinking of changing their relationship. He said this, but he was just using words to block Liu Fulin's invitation. Just go to the matchmaker's mouth.

"What do you have at home that you can sell for money?"

Gu Siwei was a little curious. After opening his mouth to ask, he said, "If it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask."

Liu Fulin smiled bitterly and said: "It will be given to others soon. If it is inconvenient, there are a few bottles and jars, one from Ming Dynasty and two from Kang and Yong years."

"antique?!"

Gu Siwei blurted out. He didn't know why, but when he thought of the word antique, Gu Siwei's mind couldn't help but pop up in Wu Daorong's mind, the old man Tao who guarded the door of Wu Daorong's unit.

The last time I saw Old Man Tao and Zhao Minglan getting together on the street, it was the antiques that were in trouble.

It is rare to collect antiques at this time. Many of today's antiques are regarded as old and broken by some people. If you dare to hide them at home, you may be discovered one day and cause trouble.

Gu Siwei really didn't expect Liu Fulin's house to have these things, but think about it, it's not unusual for the old man to catch one or two things when he was doing business outside before liberation.

"There are still people who like this thing now. They don't want to hide if they encounter it. I don't want it here either, but the things left by our ancestors can't just be lost in my hands, right?" Liu Fulin said.

Hu Yanqiu asked: "Then you are willing to sell it to someone else?"

Hu Yanqiu doesn't care much about antiques. Her thoughts are based on this era, and she has almost no knowledge of the value of antiques. Even if she comes across them, she probably has to drop them or throw them away for fear of trouble. She has no idea what will happen a few decades later. One thing may be enough to ensure that a generation of people has enough to eat and drink.

Liu Fulin said: "If you don't sell it, what can you do? If Dezhu can't get a wife, our old Liu family and I will be extinct. How can we keep the things of our ancestors at the expense of others? Rather than doing this, why not give up? Let’s take away the things belonging to our ancestors and leave behind the roots of our family! No matter how you look at this account, it’s a good deal.”

Hu Yanqiu and Sicui listened and nodded secretly.

Gu Siwei was relatively indifferent to this matter. In his era, there was not much space for continuing the family line, especially among young people in cities. It was quite normal for some people to choose not to have children because of the high pressure in life.

He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth. There was no reason for this matter. It was a choice of others to value their descendants, and Gu Siwei had no reason to interfere with their thoughts.

There is no reason to be a moral pacesetter and measure people everywhere with a ruler called morality.

"Who are you looking for?" Gu Siwei asked.

Liu Fulin said: "I'm looking for it from Shengshui. It's hard to find people who want this thing now. I asked him to inquire for a long time and then I heard that someone wanted it, but the price was not high. But I added the money I saved here." Once I get it together, I'll ask you to do some turnover, and I can get a few tickets in the market.

I was a little unwilling and wanted to come over and ask Yanqiu if there was anything I could do. After all, we had a lot of money and our family's conditions were just like this. I thought Yanqiu could help, but I would rather pay the market price. Come".

Hu Yanqiu's face looked really miserable after hearing this: "Uncle Fulin, I really don't have such ability. I'm just a salesperson. If you ask for a few handfuls of candy bars, I can help you, but what you want is this." To be honest, I haven’t even bought all the things at home. I haven’t gotten the tickets for the radio yet, and even if I did, it would be troublesome. The radio needs to be delivered to the county seat, but I heard that the stores there don’t have the goods, so I might have to go to the provincial capital.”

Gu Siwei was a little confused and thought to himself: Is it necessary to go to the provincial capital for a broken radio?

You must know that going to the provincial capital at this time is not the same as at that time. Let’s talk about the time it takes. It is about three hundred kilometers. A few decades later, it will only take two hours, but now the car, the car has to walk for a whole day. , the first is that the road is not good, the second is that the car is slow, in short, you don’t think about it for a long time? That is a completely impossible task.

"It's okay, kid. I was also in a hurry and went to the doctor. There's nothing you can do. I'll just follow the original path here." Seeing that Hu Yanqiu was a little anxious, Liu Fulin said quickly.

The old man was indeed ill and sought medical treatment in a hurry. If Liu Dezhu had not been so stubborn, the old man would probably have left these things until his death. He would not take them out and give them to his grandson until he took his second breath, and told him to pass them on to the next generation. .

Now it seems that it is not possible. If this thing does not go out, his great-grandson may be lost. After repeated considerations, the old man decided to sell the things on his hands and exchange for a living little life like his great-grandson.

As for Liu Dezhu who is only sixteen years old now and nods, the old man has not considered it at all. In the countryside, there are people younger than this who are married. His silly grandson is already this age, he is not young!

"Uncle, can I take a look?" Gu Siwei asked.

Liu Fulin didn't hesitate at all, and said: "Of course, but it's a bit late today. It's not that I can't bear it, but I can't see clearly at night. Just wait until tomorrow morning. I'll take it out for you to see when you go to my house tomorrow morning." , They are all good things, but it is a pity that they are not worth much in this world."

Gu Siwei smiled.

Just like that, everyone chatted for a while, and then Liu Fulin stood up and left. Gu Siwei wanted him to stay for dinner, and the old man waved his hand. It seemed that he felt sorry for his own things and didn't even want to eat the food.

Watching the old man leave, Hu Yanqiu said: "How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are."

"Don't worry!" Gu Siwei said, and then immediately followed up: "I mean, this guy Dezhu! Is he so stubborn?"

These words made Hu Yanqiu a little unhappy, and he opened his mouth and said: "I think Dezhu is very good. When he likes someone, he just thinks about it. It's not like some people who don't know what they are thinking about. They are messy and have no formality at all. ".

Gu Siwei: "...".

I felt that this woman was criticizing me, as if she was talking about myself, but she was obviously not like me in many ways. At least I didn't think about any messy things all day long.

"Eat, eat!"

Gu Siwei had no choice but to end the topic and continue talking about the same thing with a resentful woman. Gu Siwei had no confidence in himself and did not feel that he was stubborn, not to mention that the woman herself was a little thoughtful.

Therefore, the thirty-six strategies of dodge are the best!

Sure enough, when Hu Yanqiu put vegetables in Gu Siwei's bowl, he used too much force without realizing it, as if he wanted to pierce Gu Siwei's bowl.

Gu Siwei felt strange and thought to himself: This little girl has been feeling unwell these past few days. Come on, why is her mood so bad all of a sudden?

After finishing the meal, Gu Siwei put the bowl on the table and bumped it with the sludge.

When they were waiting to come back, Sicui had already gone into the room to sleep. Hu Yanqiu was not asleep. He was huddled on the bamboo couch alone, wrapped in a sheet and huddled up, not knowing what he was thinking.

"came back?"

Hu Yanqiu heard Gu Siwei's footsteps, straightened up and looked in the direction where Gu Siwei came.

"Well, I'm back."

Gu Siwei sat directly on the recliner where Sicui was lying just now.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I can't sleep. My mind is very confused. I'm obviously a little sleepy, but I just can't fall asleep," Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei thought for a moment, then naturally stretched out his hand towards her forehead.

Hu Yanqiu was stunned. She did not expect that Gu Siwei would suddenly reach out her hand. She was stunned when Gu Siwei pushed her hand to touch her forehead.

"what are you doing!?"

"Don't move, be honest!"

Gu Siwei tried Hu Yanqiu's head, and then tried it on his forehead, frowned, and whispered: "It seems to be a bit feverish!"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Hu Yanqiu's forehead. At this time, one hand was on his forehead and the other was on Hu Yanqiu's forehead.

The palm of Hu Yanqiu's forehead seemed a little hot, but he wasn't so sure.

Gu Siwei was really unprofessional in doing this, because he rarely got sick since he was a child, and he was not very skilled in this skill.

"Why do you have such a fever?" Hu Yanqiu murmured.

Gu Siwei put his head directly over.

Now Hu Yanqiu was directly petrified.

He wanted to complain, but when Gu Siwei's face came closer, Hu Yanqiu felt that his heart was beating like a drum, and he couldn't utter even a single word.

The two foreheads were close together.

Now Gu Siwei was sure that Hu Yanqiu really had a fever and his forehead was a little hot, at least hotter than his.

"You really have a fever! Go into the house and lie down. Come into my house. Don't infect Sicui. Wait until I come back from collecting some herbs. If you don't go away at night, I will carry you to the factory hospital."

After saying that, Gu Siwei went to the mountains to collect herbs.

After living here for so long, Gu Siwei still knows a few simple earth recipes. Not to mention other methods to cure fever, he knows it because it is commonly used by women in the village. As long as there are children at home, there is no one who can’t master this recipe. of.
