Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

I didn’t sleep well at night, and the reason is simple: mosquitoes!

The mosquitoes here are not like the mosquitoes in the mountains. Although the mosquitoes in the mountains are big, their bites only cause flakes. The mosquitoes here are small, but they are so poisonous that after being bitten, they want to be scratched and bald.

There are no mosquitoes in Gu Siwei's house, because the main material of Gu Siwei's large wooden house is camphor and other scented woods. Mosquitoes don't like the smell, so there are not many mosquitoes in the house.

There are quite a lot of mosquitoes in the village, but if you have a coil of mosquito-repellent incense, or like the folks do like the villagers, it will be enough to smoke them.

But the mosquitoes here are really killing me, and I’m not afraid of anything. Gu Siwei used the magic weapon Fengyoujing here, but he was still bitten by mosquitoes on one hand and one leg. As long as it was exposed outside, there was nothing wrong with it. bitten.

When he got up in the morning, Gu Siwei found that his little white calves were red and white, like a rash.

"These mosquitoes are so deadly!"

Gu Siwei said.

Liu Fulin also nodded and said: "The mosquitoes here are really poisonous, look at the bite."

"Let's go out and have something to eat."

I’ve been bitten, what else can I do? All I can do is eat more breakfast to make up for it.

Liu Fulin said: "I'm not going. You can go by yourself. I'm going to take a look around today to see what I can buy."

Gu Siwei asked curiously: "What can I buy?"

"Today is Sunday, and some workers will bring some things to sell. I'll see if there are any suitable and cheap things. If they are suitable, I can buy them for home use. If I get there late, I won't have anything to choose from," Liu Fulin said.

When Gu Siwei heard what he said, he remembered that today was the weekend and most of the workers in the factory had taken a break. At this time, it was inevitable that some workers would take out the defective products in the factory and exchange them for some rice and grain. Of course, Yes, there are also some people who take some threads and the like. In short, as long as they are useful, they can exchange them for something from the hands of farmers.

As for what to exchange and how much to exchange, that depends on your ability.

However, there are fewer people cheating on customers at this time, everyone’s prices are fairly fair, and the small barter market is quite prosperous.

Gu Siwei is not interested in going today. He has to go see Old Man Tao and then do some squatting or something.

"It's not too late to go after breakfast," Gu Siwei said.

Liu Fulin waved his hand: "I'll wait here for the young man to come over and then leave. You go and eat first."

Gu Siwei also understood that the old uncle didn't want him to spend any more money, or that the old uncle didn't want him to spend any more money on him. After understanding it, Gu Siwei couldn't force the cow's head to drink water. He also knew what the old man was thinking, so after saying a few words to the old uncle, he scratched the mosquito bites on his body and walked towards the nearby breakfast shop. .

I have nothing to do today, so naturally I choose the one I usually eat at.

Entering the shop, it was still the same old faces. After chatting for a while, with a full stomach, Gu Siwei slowly went to the hospital to ride the car.

We have returned to Hu Yanqiu's house. There is no one in Hu Yanqiu's house at this moment. It's not that there is no one. Hu Yanping is the only one at home. Hu Yanming is at work. Hu Shunkai and Lu Yihui took Hu Yanqiu to the provincial capital, so now there is only one Hu Yanping left in the house.

People at this time didn't care much about these things. Hu Yanping was alone at home and no one was worried about him, let alone human traffickers.

Seeing Gu Siwei putting down the keys and leaving, the boy immediately said: "Brother-in-law!"

Gu Siwei was stunned for a moment and turned to look at this boy. The more he looked at him, the smarter he became.

"What are you doing?" Gu Siwei asked.

When Hu Yanping heard this, he immediately became energetic: "Brother-in-law, I'm fine at home alone. Can I go play with you?"

"What are you playing for? I have something to do when I come here. You are not suitable to follow me," Gu Siwei said.

After thinking about it for a moment: "Why don't you go with your brother?"

"It's so boring to be with him," Hu Yanping said.

Hu Yanming was indeed uninteresting. Not only Hu Yanping, but also Gu Siwei also found him uninteresting. It used to be interesting to have his silly apprentice Qiao Yitong, but now it's not interesting anymore. All Xiangtian thinks about is work.

People like this just don’t understand.

"That's right, your brother just doesn't know how to live. All he has to do is work all day long. People are living like machines. It's no fun!"

Gu Siwei said something casually.

Snapped!

Upon hearing this, Hu Yanping immediately clapped his hands happily: "That's right, that's right. My brother is like a fool. Even my sister-in-law-to-be thinks that all he thinks about is work. I didn't expect that, brother-in-law, you are still talking to me. I think the same thing! We are comrades on the same side, brother-in-law, you will be my adviser from now on, if I have anything to discuss with you, I can’t discuss it with them!"

Gu Siwei glanced at the boy with disdain and said: "Stop it, we are not in the same trench. I am a self-reliant person who can support myself. Now you are just a little parasite, relying on your parents to support you and asking for money. With me What is it like?"

Hearing what Gu Siwei said, Hu Yanping immediately said: "I'm still young!"

"Gan Luo was the prime minister when he was twelve years old. How much older is he than you?"

Gu Siwei immediately wiped the psychological neck of his would-be brother-in-law.

"You are now eighteen or nineteen years old. Which country are you prime minister of?"

The little thing is quite good at quarreling with others, so he was immediately quarreled by Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei said: "Isn't it easy for me to be a prime minister?!"

"boast!"

Hu Yanping saw through it at a glance.

There was no trace of shame on Gu Siwei's old face.

"It's okay, let's go!"

Hu Yanping immediately grabbed Gu Siwei's clothes: "Brother-in-law, you have to leave something to eat for me if you want to leave. I don't know if my brother will be back at noon. You can't let me eat white steamed buns."

"What's wrong with the white steamed buns? The children in the village can't eat them if they want to." Gu Siwei stopped.

Hu Yanping said: "I was wrong, I was greedy for your craftsmanship. Seriously, brother-in-law, when my sister comes over, can I live in your house?"

"I'll go, did you hear whose brother-in-law always lives at his brother-in-law's house?" Gu Siwei thinks this guy is really shameless. This kind of person is born to be a member of society. With this kind of shame, I guess the best person in the Hu family will be like this in the future. boy.

Although he was talking, Gu Siwei turned around and saw what he could do at home, so he made two dishes for this boy, two very simple dishes. As for the steamed rice, Hu Yanping was really good at it. meeting.

There are not many children these days who can't do some housework. The difference is that some children are better at it and some are worse at it.

When he came out of Hu's house, it was almost ten o'clock, and Gu Siwei hurried back.

When we arrived at the small courtyard where we stayed last night, Liu Fulin had already come back and bought some things, all of which were iron products, such as hoes and fire clamps.

The two of them didn't talk much, just picked up their things and went to the agreed place.

The trading place was chosen on a small slope about 20 meters away from the road. The slope was quite open and the view was very good. No matter where people were coming from, people on the slope could easily be spotted.

Originally, Gu Siwei thought that transactions must have a sense of mystery, but who knew that not to mention a sense of mystery, there was no sense at all!

The man coming across from me was an uncle from Shandong, about forty or fifty years old, quite tall and strong, but he spoke with a thick Shandong accent, and he sounded very loyal.

In addition to this uncle, there was an old man, about fifty years old, with gray hair, a lean body, and a pair of round-rimmed glasses. He looked like a cashier.

Everyone sat down in two rows facing each other. It looked like a group of friends sitting here chatting about a lot of things. This kind of situation is not uncommon, and everyone has done it more or less.

Liu Fulin opened his package, not all of it was exposed, only part of it was exposed.

The accountant carefully came over and took a look at each one. After a while, he nodded to the man with a Shandong accent.

"Say yes!"

The man took out a paper bun from his pocket and patted it directly into Liu Fulin's hand.

Liu Fulin opened it and found that there was no more or less inside, and it was exactly the price they had discussed.

"The money is gone. If there is something like this in the future, just come to me. I will definitely give you a good price!"

"Okay, okay!"

How could Liu Fulin be in the mood to listen to this? The old man spit on his fingers and counted the bills in his hand again.

After clicking three times in a row, it was still a lot, so Liu Fulin put his wallet back in place and held it firmly in his hand.

"That's okay, let's go!"

The man was not polite at all. Seeing that Liu Fulin had collected the money, he rolled up the package on the ground, held it in his hand, and left.

This action frightened the accountant. He immediately bent down to take the things and held them tightly in his arms, for fear that the reckless man in front of him would destroy these treasures.

On the road, Liu Fulin had already put the money in his closest pocket.

"Oh, I was thinking about what to do before it happened, but after thinking about it, it was a bit unnecessary. But I had to do it because no one knew who was eyeing whom..."

Liu Fulin began to sigh with emotion as he walked.

Gu Siwei listened with a smile without interrupting a word.

"Then I'll go back here. What about you, do you want to go back with me or what?"

After talking for a while, Liu Fulin mentioned the following arrangements.

Gu Siwei said: "You go back first. Oh, by the way, don't you exchange your tickets here?"

Liu Fulin said: "It's not here. I'm going to go to the local market first. The asking price here is too high. I'll try my luck in the city. If it doesn't work, I'll switch here."

Gu Siwei knew that maybe the old man was a little reluctant to give up money, but this was a good thing. It might be cheaper to buy tickets at a few more places. For Liu Fulin, saving a penny now was also a savings.

The two returned to the factory. Liu Fulin packed up, tied the cardboard box containing the bicycle to the old cow's back, and led the old man back to the village first.

The mule with fast feet was left to Gu Siwei.

How could Gu Siwei stay here to feed the mosquitoes? He just took the mule and tried to get out of the way.
