Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Chapter 45 Proceed with caution

After making an appointment to deliver the goods here a week later, Gu Siwei bought some pancakes and threw them into the space. After spending all the meal tickets, he returned to the village.

When we arrived at the village, the villagers had already returned. It was impossible for them to live near the factory after watching the movie. They would just go back after the movie.

Gu Siwei actually admired these villagers a little. In order to watch two movies, they walked back and forth on dozens of kilometers of mountain roads. When they came back, they were still smiling. From time to time, they heard people talking about last night's movie.

What is different from before is that there are people on the ground by the river now, and the land of each family has been returned to each family, so everyone is digging the ground. It used to be almost untouched, but now it is full of busy people. people.

After all, it is our own land, and everyone is obviously much more enthusiastic about working than before.

Gu Siwei saw Liu Fulin. The old man and Liu Dezhu were digging the land. Their land was not big, only two or three pieces of land. In Gu Siwei's opinion, it was no more than a vegetable garden.

"Uncle Fulin, are you digging the ground?" Gu Siwei greeted Liu Fulin.

Liu Fulin hummed and replied happily: "Turning the ground, turn it over and let the bugs in the mud freeze to death. Wait for the seeds to be planted in the spring to increase the yield. What about you?"

"I'm not fooling around here," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

After hearing this, Liu Dezhu immediately said: "Brother Siwei, did you watch the movie last night? It was so good, so amazing. Just that small box can spit out villains, and they are still alive...".

What Liu Dezhu said was very exciting, and Gu Siwei was very happy when he heard it. He didn't mean to laugh at Liu Dezhu. For people like Liu Dezhu, science makes them feel magical. This is actually a good thing. Only with curiosity can we explore the unknown. .

"Look, it's pretty good-looking," Gu Siwei said.

After hearing that Gu Siwei had watched it, Liu Dezhu became even more excited and kept talking about the battle plot in the movie.

Gu Siwei didn't want to discuss this. He had almost forgotten everything he watched. His focus was not mainly on the storyline, but on the difference between current movies and future movies, so he didn't remember the plot, nor did he Discuss the method with Liu Dezhu.

"Okay, Brother Siwei still has something to do. Let's talk about movies when we have time. Now work hard for me."

Liu Fulin saw that Gu Siwei didn't want to talk about movies, so he stopped his grandson.

Liu Dezhu didn't think much about it. He just immersed himself in his work without letting him talk.

"The land is a bit small," Gu Siwei said casually.

"There is no other way. After the land here is plowed, I plan to go into the old forest to see if I can find some land. Planting crops on this land will not be enough for our grandfather and grandson to eat for a year. Otherwise, I have to think about following him to the mountains to hunt some." Liu Fulin sighed.

Gu Siwei also sighed.

After chatting for a few more words, Gu Siwei turned around and went back to his home.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Sicui running towards him.

"Brother, are you back?"

Sicui looked at Gu Siwei blankly, with tears streaks on her face like a tabby cat.

Gu Siwei didn't understand the fuss and asked Sicui, "What's the reason for this fuss?"

"Didn't you say you went to see a movie yesterday?"

Sicui thought that she and Neng Gu Siwei met yesterday, but when they didn't see each other, the little girl started to wonder, and even thought about whether she met a wolf on the road.

It made the little girl very anxious.

"Oh, I did some things here and came back with some things."

Gu Siwei said as he patted the sack he had carried on his back from the entrance of the village.

"what?"

Sicui was still a child after all, and her attention was instantly diverted by Gu Siwei.

"Let's go into the house and talk." Gu Siwei gestured to Sicui to enter the house.

Sicui was jumping up and down in front, and Gu Siwei entered the house with a sack.

"Go and call sister-in-law Meiling over." Gu Siwei decided to ask Sicui to call Wu Meiling over.

Wu Meiling has been helping him. Although he is taking care of Sicui, Siwei must recognize this favor. After all, Sicui now lives under his own roof, and he also bothers others to help him make clothes. What can I say? Also express it.

Upon hearing this, Sicui took Xiao and ran to find Wu Meiling.

Gu Siwei took the opportunity to get flour out of the space, which weighed almost thirty kilograms inside and outside.

When Wu Meiling was pulled into the house by Sicui, she saw the white flour in the sack.

"Where did this come from?"

Wu Meiling was stunned.

Gu Siwei said: "I used things from the mountains to manage the people at the factory."

After hearing this, Wu Meiling immediately asked: "Did you take the things and ask the food store to exchange them?"

Gu Siwei was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded, acquiescing.

The grain store is a place that sells grain, steamed buns, noodles and other flour products. Gu Siwei’s sugar buns were bought there.

But Gu Siwei really didn't know that this place could directly exchange flour.

There is naturally no shortage of flour in a place like this, and the people who work here, even though they are just making steamed buns and steamed buns, are all workers of the country. They have a serious iron rice bowl, and they will be civil servants in the future. .

When exposed to food, these people will inevitably put some into their pockets.

There is a joke at this time, that is, there is Canada abroad, and we have one for everyone to take. This is the situation.

Of course, if you are caught taking something, it is indeed a fatal thing, but if you can't be caught, the government will take advantage of you.

What else can go without loss?

"Sister-in-law, take something. I really don't have a bag at home. I borrowed this bag from Uncle Fulin." Gu Siwei felt that what he said was not clear enough. He asked Wu Meiling to come over but didn't ask him to bring a bag.

"This is impossible!"

Wu Meiling immediately raised her hand.

Although she really wants these white noodles, you must know that this is white noodles.

Nowadays, white flour is sold in grain stores for just over 20 cents per catty, but ordinary farmers can't afford it. It is said to be more than 20 cents per pound. If you add food stamps, it doesn't mean more than 20 cents per pound.

For example, if you want to exchange a pound of national food stamps on the black market, you can get it for only two to five to three yuan without even thinking about it.

Therefore, the price of more than 20 cents for food cannot reflect the true value of food now. In fact, the real price of food is probably several times the listed price.

"It's okay, sister-in-law. It's not like you don't know my hunting skills. If I run out of food here, I'll just go into the mountains to hunt some more. I won't give you more. These are half of the family. I have to trouble you to help bake some pancakes. I took it into the mountains...".

Gu Siwei knew that Wu Meiling would refuse and had already prepared his words.

Wu Meiling didn't push it after hearing this, because everyone in her family was hungry.

"Brother Siwei, I won't say anything else, but my sister-in-law wants to tell you something, so don't let it go. In the future, it's best to keep this kind of thing secretly and don't let others know.

This person's heart is the most unpredictable. If you chew on your face like this, someone might get pink eye and report you.

It would be very serious if this matter comes out. If you don't say anything else, just say that you exchanged things. If there is no investigation, it will be nothing. If someone is more serious than this, it is not new for you to be sentenced to several years..."

Wu Meiling advised kindly.

Nowadays, Gu Siwei provides food to the village, and everyone is proud of it. But if Gu Siwei's family eats white flour, it doesn't matter if it is one or two meals. If your family eats it every day, then something may happen.

Sometimes you have it, and it's a big sin if others don't.

Wu Meiling had seen the dark side of people's hearts, so she persuaded Gu Siwei.

Although Gu Siwei is a good person, he does not have a deep understanding of the current society, and many things require time to experience.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Gu Siwei nodded sternly. He also knew that what Wu Meiling said was right.

Originally, Gu Siwei came from a small place and had seen too many such chaos. People in the city usually tend to exaggerate the simplicity of rural farmers. I don’t know that some people in the countryside, not even a minority, are nothing like kindness. The two words are not related.

They can shovel the freshly laid cement home in front of you when you are paving the road in the village.

I can see that the radishes in your field are growing well, so I secretly go to your field in the middle of the night to steal them. If I can't steal them, I just destroy them with a knife, but I won't let you sell them for money.

You don’t raise fish or other aquatic products at home, but you can secretly throw medicine into your fish pond when the fish are about to be released to the market, killing your fish and causing you several years of hard work. In vain.

Just for one reason: He doesn't want to see you living a better life than him. If you are living a better life than him, he won't feel comfortable and will destroy you at all.

"Only our two families know about this," Gu Siwei said.

Without Wu Meiling's reminder, Gu Siwei was prepared to give some to Liu Fulin, but now he felt that he might as well not give it to him.

"Anyway, you have to be careful. Being strict with your words these days will not lead to trouble. Some people's brains are just like objects, and they can do anything when they are stunned. There are people like this in our village," Wu Meiling said.

Gu Siwei nodded again.

Wu Meiling said again: "You'd better not eat the white flour directly. Mix it with potato flour and bake it into a pancake. This saves noodles and tastes better than pancakes made with potato flour... In this way, you can eat half a bag of noodles and Sicui." Last two months."

At this time, Wu Meiling told Gu Siwei how to save white noodles.

this……

After hearing this, Gu Siwei had a bitter smile in his heart. To be honest, as long as he was willing to feed the whole village, there would be no problem with the white noodles in his hand. However, he had no reason and would not do it. Shengmien and Doumiqiu. This is not an isolated case.

It's okay to do good deeds, but doing it with a shy face is foolish.

Gu Siwei has no interest in being anyone's savior.

"Sister-in-law, I understand, but I still need you to help bake it into pancakes. I will take them into the mountains," Gu Siwei said.

Wu Meiling nodded and said: "Okay, I want to eat something good when I go into the mountain. When I get home to get something, I will call the head of our family over. I will serve the noodles first and wait until late at night to bake the pancakes." .

Gu Siwei saw that baking pancakes was like being a thief. After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't think of any good solution, so he just let Wu Meiling do it.
