Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

When it came to eating, Gu Siwei thought for a moment and decided to ask, so he went directly to the village.

When I found Hu Yanqiu, I found that she was staying at an aunt's home with a group of young wives in the village who were about the same age.

Without sitting in the house, my aunt took out the reed curtains from home and spread them in the yard of the house. Several reed curtains were put together to form an area of ​​about five or six meters square.

A group of wives and a dozen little kids were playing on it.

There are many little people fighting with Hu Yanping right now, and the biggest one is right at Hu Yanping's heart. The children are working together to push Hu Yanping down. Naturally, Hu Yanping can't let them do what they want, so the two sides are entangled in this way, making trouble and fussing over each other. Laughing.

Just after standing at the door for a while, Gu Siwei felt that the noise made by these children was a bit big-headed.

"Siwei, why are you here?"

Wu Meiling spotted Gu Siwei standing at the door of the yard, smiled and said hello.

When all the sisters-in-law saw Gu Siwei coming, they all asked him to come over.

Gu Siwei really didn't dare to mess with these sisters-in-law. Before they got married, they were all so shy that they blushed at every turn. After getting married, they didn't taboo on meat and vegetables. Most men were not as bold as them.

Gu Siwei smiled and waved his hand: "I came here to ask Yanqiu if the old men at home would like to eat pimple soup at noon."

Hu Yanqiu heard this and said, "If you want to eat it, then just do it?"

"wrong!"

Hu Yanqiu rejected it himself and asked Gu Siwei: "Isn't there a new person in the family? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to eat pimple soup at noon today?"

Gu Siwei had never thought about this. After hearing this, he laughed and said, "It's really inappropriate."

"It's just your family. Isn't it appropriate to serve pimple soup?" a sister-in-law said with a smile.

"By the way, how many people can come to your family? How come the county sends someone over every few days?" Another sister-in-law asked curiously.

Hu Yanqiu said: "How do you know this?"

"It's okay to give it as a gift. You have to bring some food and oil. If you eat with such empty talk, even the gold mountain at home will be depleted."

The sisters-in-law began to talk at random.

The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener did. Gu Siwei was right when he thought about it. Zhao Minglan must have been determined to deal with him when he sent someone here. He couldn't keep his head down like this.

Besides, there are already five people in the family now, and there are only three people in my family. How can it continue like this?

Feeling that it couldn't be done, Gu Siwei was thinking about how to deal with Zhao Minglan.

She had never thought of this situation before, but now that she has thought of it, Gu Siwei felt that it was time to take action. She could not keep letting others bully her. It was time to give Zhao Minglan some COLOUR TO SEE SEE.

"Fourth dimension, fourth dimension".

Gu Siwei turned his eyes to his wife and asked with a questioning look on his face: "What?"

Hu Yanqiu was annoyed by him: "Why are you running away at this time? What do you want to eat for lunch today?"

"I'm free to do it. You know who I am," Gu Siwei said.

Hu Yanqiu thought for a moment and put down what he was doing: "Forget it, sisters-in-law, I'm going back first, and I'll come back if I'm free in the afternoon."

"You're going back now?" The sisters-in-law were a little reluctant.

Compared with them, Hu Yanqiu is an educated person, and in the eyes of these sisters-in-law, one of the great characteristics of an educated person is that he can tell stories.

So Hu Yanqiu played handicrafts with them here, and from time to time he could tell them about the people and things in the factory.

These things are naturally new to the sisters-in-law who have been stationed in the village all year round. They are much more interesting than the Zhuangzi family. If there is no other reason, there are more people. When there are more people, there are naturally more things to do, and many unexpected things may happen.

It's like opening a window to the life of city people for my sisters-in-law, and I feel longing for it while listening to it.

Now that Hu Yanqiu is going home, his sisters-in-law are naturally a little reluctant to leave him.

"I'd better go back first, otherwise these people will starve to death at noon," Hu Yanqiu said with a smile.

After hearing this, everyone talked about how men can't cook and so on, and everyone began to criticize and blame their own men.

Of course, at this time they say it's okay. If you say the man in their family is bad, they will definitely not be happy.

Hu Yanqiu put down what he was doing and directly put all the small scissors, needles and threads around him into a small bamboo basket.

The small bamboo basket was specially made by Zheng Youcai for Hu Yanqiu. It looks like a swan and is very delicate. Hu Yanqiu also likes it very much and has always used it to store small sundries such as needlework and thread at home.

After tidying up the small bamboo basket and putting it aside, Hu Yanqiu stood up.

"Sicui, Yanping, let's go home."

Sicui was obedient. As soon as her sister-in-law said this, she said goodbye to two or three of her friends.

Hu Yanping is a bit reluctant to let go of these children. In fact, it is not that he is reluctant to let go of the children, but that he does not want to go back. When he goes back, his job is to face Sicui to urge him to study, so he would rather play with these newly weaned babies here than go back. Read a book.

Unfortunately, his sister was not consulting with him, but giving orders. So the boy reluctantly put on his shoes, turned back three times, and reluctantly followed his sister and brother-in-law onto the boat.

All the way towards Yinsong Cliff, Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu talked about the one who had just arrived.

"Is your wish coming true?" Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei didn't understand for a while what this matter had to do with him, so he asked his wife in confusion: "Madam, what's the explanation for this!"

He spoke in an opera accent, and his hands were shaking.

Hu Yanqiu smiled and said: "Stop playing tricks, I mean, didn't you say you wanted a skilled carpenter? Here he is!"

"Carpenter! Is this okay?"

Gu Siwei couldn't help but be happy.

Hu Yanqiu said: "What is the difference between carving stone and carving wood? They are not all carvings. Didn't you say you want to copy the Qiangong Bed? Now someone is doing the work."

"That's not good?"

Gu Siwei was a little nervous at this time.

Hu Yanqiu had seen through him a long time ago and said with a smile: "Maybe I will be very happy, I will send you a needed labor force."

"Oh, do you think Zhao Minglan has seen through your heart? Why does he just follow your wishes?" Hu Yanqiu said, pursed his lips, stretched out his small fist and punched Gu Siwei lightly. .

"Oh, oh, it hurts!"

Gu Siwei was very cooperative.

The couple looked at each other with affection, and Sicui grinned happily, but Hu Yanping, the brother-in-law, rolled his eyes and didn't know what he was muttering for a while.

When Hu Yanqiu woke him up, Gu Siwei really started to think about it.

Gu Siwei didn't really want to sleep on the bed he received. Even if no one had slept on it, he wouldn't be willing to sleep on it, but this bed was really well made.

To put it in a sentence decades later: It’s so damn good!

But there is a disadvantage, that is, only one side of the bed can be used. When sleeping at night, when the woman sleeping in it wants to go to the toilet, she has to pass by the man. At this time, the man either can't get up or go to bed. You have to step over the man.

In ancient societies where men were superior to women, it was obviously unacceptable for a woman to roll over a man, so every time a woman got up at night, the man had to sit up and let the woman roll over him.

Gu Siwei didn't care that his wife rolled over him, but he cared about the quality of his sleep. If his wife woke up more than once that night, he wouldn't sleep at all.

So if you really want to sleep on such a bed, the style needs to be changed so that you can get up and down from both sides.

Although the components are easy to make, this carving is really not capable. If it is left aside for decades, it will not be a problem. It can be directly carved on a computer. But where can Gu Siwei find a computer that can do this job now?

Now that it's better, Gu Siwei was mentioned by his wife and realized that a carpenter with extremely good skills had come.

Of course, they are called artists.

After returning home, Hu Yanqiu ran directly up the slope to discuss with the old men what to eat for lunch, while Gu Siwei smiled and thought about the Qiangong bed in his mind.

When thinking about it, Gu Siwei couldn't help but go to the house where they lived.

But when he thought that people were still reminiscing about old times, he held back.

Gu Siwei held back, but Lu Yan in the room discovered it.

"Siwei, if something happens, come in."

After hearing this, Gu Siwei asked: "Is it convenient for you now?"

Lu Yan said: "It's nothing inconvenient. You came just in time. I am a classmate and colleague, but I am a sculptor. Didn't you say last time that you were going to make antique furniture? No, with him, you don't have to worry." .

Gu Siwei was originally thinking about how to speak, but who knew Lu Yan would bring it up? This was great and saved his tongue.

So Gu Siwei looked at You Xugang.

Lu Yan had just discussed this issue with You Xugang. Lu Yan's explanation was that people like him accepted Gu Siwei's protection from Gu Siwei and had three meals a day, while they had to work hard.

Very simple rules, explained clearly.

Of course, there are emotional factors involved, and it is definitely not that simple between us, but you can understand it from this aspect.

When Youxugang heard what Lu Yan said, he smiled bitterly and said what else could he do at this time? It would be a great happiness to have enough to eat every day, not to mention that he could still do the job he likes.

After everything was explained clearly, You Xugang saw Gu Siwei looking at him with hope in his eyes, so he said: "I have no problem, it's just that I don't have the tools here."

Upon hearing this, Gu Siwei patted his chest and took over the task: "Leave the tools to me, draw them and I will customize them for you. Oh, I forgot to ask, there is not much difference between carving stone and wood. Bar?"

Lu Yan burst into laughter when he heard it: "Wood carving, there is a branch called wood carving. As long as it is related to carving, I would not say that he is excellent at it, but he can do it well."
