Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Liu Dezhu was forced to become a disciple. Although he was forced, Liu Fulin still organized the apprenticeship ceremony after knowing it, and also prepared a very honorable apprenticeship ceremony for Zheng Youcai (two pieces of bacon and a bag of pastries). .

After finishing this matter, Gu Siwei naturally continued to build his own house. As for other things, it had nothing to do with Lao Gu.

With the experience of small houses, the big house was built much faster. Gu Siwei originally thought that it would take him a month and a half to build the big house no matter what. Who would have thought that things would go smoothly? He was surprised. The space The outside work was almost all completed in only a month and a few days.

After the construction, Gu Siwei's three wooden houses were arranged in a Z-shaped pattern, with the largest house at the back, two cabins in the front, and one cabin with a corridor connected to the main house.

The main house is naturally the largest in area, and Lao Gu is a man of great achievements, so the wooden house must be more than two hundred square meters.

More than two hundred square meters were divided into five rooms and three bedrooms. One room was for Gu Siwei to live in, and the other room was naturally reserved for Sicui. One room was used as a guest room, and the remaining two rooms were used as guest rooms. One room is reserved for a cloakroom, and the other room can be used to store some sundries.

As for the study room and so on, they are all arranged in the small room with the corridor.

To be honest, Lao Gu really loves this big house he built. Not to mention anything else, he just said that the house is all made of solid wood. You can smell the faint fragrance of wood when you lie down inside. How can this kind of enjoyment be achieved? He dared to think about it decades later.

The main body of the house is ready, but the furniture inside still needs to be there. In addition to the part prepared by Mr. Zheng, there is also a considerable part that Gu Siwei plans to make himself.

Making a wooden bed is really simple. You have plenty of wood in hand, so you can choose whatever material you want. You can make it with just one turn of the big axe.

Although the bed legs with thick thighs were a little silly, Gu Siwei couldn't help but be immersed in the rough aura exuding, and was extremely happy.

The only thing that was a bit stuck was the window.

Originally, Gu Siwei had prepared a large floor-to-ceiling window, which had to be opened several meters by several meters so that the light would be good.

It turned out that his ideas were too far ahead of his time. There was such a big piece of glass, but how could Gu Siwei dare to install such a large piece of glass on his own window? Let alone him at this time, Qiao Qisheng didn’t even have the ability to decorate it with tempered glass. own windows.

It would be fine without tempered glass, but Gu Siwei thought about it and gave up. If such a large piece of ordinary glass broke, it would be terrible.

In the end, Gu Siwei had no choice but to divide the large window into small windows. The original large window had one piece of glass, and the largest window was replaced with nearly eighteen small window blocks. In the end, he asked Qiao Qisheng to help solve the window glass problem.

The problem of glass was something that Lao Gu didn't think of when he started. What he originally thought was difficult was the toilet, but he didn't expect that it would be easy to solve. Qiao Qisheng originally had a new project this year and built three toilets, but they thought they were damaged. Then Lao Gu got two toilets and one squatting toilet.

There is a bathroom separated from my room, and another one is separated from Sicui's room, and the last remaining one is simply used in the study.

Naturally, Qiao Qisheng would not be reluctant to use the toilet pipe, so Gu Siwei's family can be said to be the first family in the entire village, or even the entire township, to use the toilet.

To use a toilet, you must have water. There was no water in the mountains originally, but this did not trouble Gu Siwei. He found a pool of water on the gourd-shaped Dingkou Mountain of Hulu Valley. There was spring water in the pool, but it was not Flow in the direction of Lao Gu's house.

How can such a trivial thing stump Lao Gu? We went straight up to the big rocks and dug them all the way. Soon the small pool of water passed through Lao Gu's new home and flowed through his new field. Finally, a small stream of water formed between two old persimmon trees and a walnut tree. , returning to the great river below.

If there is water, sewage must be drained. Not to mention the water for washing vegetables and so on. Just splash it on the ground and it will be done. Manure, urine, etc. cannot be wasted. This is good farmyard manure, so there must be a manure pit.

These things were originally thought to be a bit difficult, but with the help of Qiao Qisheng and his son, once the pipe problem was solved, the rest was completed smoothly. However, there was no running water, so it was impossible to automatically flush the toilet. You had to use water after using the toilet. Ladle water and rinse.

Although it's a little troublesome, it's better than using a dry toilet, and that's about it at this time.

After solving the problem of eating and drinking, Gu Siwei's home is ready. Now the most important thing left is to pick a good day to move.

It was said that it was a move, but in fact it was just to bring the little girl Sicui here. There were almost no valuable things in the house over there, so for Gu Siwei now, just throw them away.

It's tidied up here, and the furniture in the room is almost done. Things like the wardrobe and desk were all made by Gu Siwei himself. Although they are not very exquisite, they are solid in appearance.

After finishing everything here, Gu Siwei is going to return to the village, bring Sicui over, and then live a leisurely life here.

When the door of reform and opening up opens, Gu Siwei can be at home when he wants to be at home, and drive around the country's scenic spots in his car when he doesn't want to be at home.

Along the road, Gu Siwei came to the cliff and looked around, but found no monkey.

"Where did this go again? Pony!"

After muttering, Gu Siwei shouted into the valley.

Soon, the monkey group shouted and rushed over. They saw Gu Siwei sitting together honestly, looking at him eagerly.

"Look what I did, have you forgotten everything I trained the past few days?"

Looking at the group of monkeys, Gu Siwei said with a bit of hatred that iron cannot become steel.

Since we have to bring Sicui here, we can no longer rely on space to get in and out. You can play when no one is around, but you can’t play with Sicui. It’s not that Gu Siwei doesn’t believe in Sicui, but the less people know about it. The safer it is.

A group of monkeys looked at Gu Siwei eagerly, but still did not move.

But soon, one of the monkeys jumped out, grinned and came to the side of the walnut tree, dragging the rolled up ladder to the edge of the cliff.

Seeing the monkey's movements, Gu Siwei nodded with satisfaction: "There are still some smart ones."

In order to allow Sicui to come up, Gu Siwei prepared a soft ladder, which is a wooden rope ladder. Each board is ten centimeters wide and four to five centimeters thick. There are holes on both ends and a rope is threaded in the middle. In this way, a soft ladder is created, which can be used from The top of the cliff is dragged all the way to the river.

Such a long ladder must be quite large in one roll, so it was a bit difficult for one monkey to drag it. Gu Siwei was not prepared to help. He glanced at the other monkeys, and soon they helped to roll up the ladder together.

When they arrived at the mouth of the cliff, a group of monkeys pushed the ladder down, only to hear a swish sound, followed by several snapping sounds. One end was tied to the tree trunk, and the other end hung steadily to the river.

Gu Siwei climbed down the cliff along the ladder. After reaching the bottom of the cliff, he stepped on the raft.

This raft was made by Gu Siwei himself. It is much more sophisticated than ordinary rafts, but a raft is still a raft after all and cannot be as good as a boat.

Gu Siwei has already commissioned someone to build the ship. However, shipbuilding is a technical and labor-intensive job. Now everyone is busy with farming, so it is not that Gu Siwei can just ask others to start construction. Therefore, Gu Siwei’s ship will not be built until October at the earliest. Only then can it be used.

Before that, you had to rely on this raft to get back and forth.

When I stepped on the raft, two huge fish spirits, Grass Flower and Cube, were already waiting in the water. The two guys opened their mouths bigger than a human waist and spit out bubbles. If it weren't for their huge bodies, , these two guys are really cute, but now, it would be a good thing if they don’t scare people’s souls away.

Untie the rope that tied the raft to the cliff and let the raft swim downstream with the current.

I was originally planning to put it directly in the village, but who knew that in the valley, I met Wu Meiling's sister-in-law who was just going upstream.

"Sister-in-law, where are you coming from?"

Gu Siwei and Wu Meiling greeted each other.

Wu Meiling was holding on to the raft against the current. She didn't notice Gu Siwei going down the river for a while. She raised her head when she heard Gu Siwei's voice.

"It's Brother Siwei. I went back to my parents' house and borrowed some money."

Wu Meiling had nothing to hide from Gu Siwei, so she directly told her about returning to her parents' home.

"Borrow money? Why didn't you ask me to borrow money?" Gu Siwei felt that Wu Meiling was too outsider.

Wu Meiling said with a smile: "I borrowed a lot of money. You only have to eat and drink. How can you have so much money?"

"What are you going to do with borrowing so much money?" Gu Siwei asked casually.

Wu Meiling is not the kind of person who spends a lot of money. Besides, even if you have a high consumption nowadays, you still have to have somewhere to spend money, so Gu Siwei didn't think about where the money could be used for a while.

"Buy a bicycle?" Gu Siwei finally remembered something.

Wu Meiling shook her head and said: "What are you buying that thing for? We don't need it. The head of our family and I made a calculation. Now that we have land, we can't do it without buying a cow, so I went back to my parents' house to borrow money..."

"Buying a cow?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Siwei became more energetic and asked repeatedly: "How much does it cost to buy a cow now?"

Wu Meiling said: "It depends on what kind of cow you buy. If the calf is cheaper, if the cow can work, it will really cost the price of a bicycle."

"Is it easy to buy cattle now?" Gu Siwei asked.

Gu Siwei is now doing well in buying some vegetables, hares, etc. in private, but he really doesn't know how to deal with big animals.

Wu Meiling said: "You have to work hard for this thing in private, and you can't buy it outside. It has to be sold in Zhuangzi in the mountains. The control outside is too tight, and it's not easy in the mountains... There is no shortage of cattle anywhere now." Well, my cousin, who is also the head of our family, has a village over there that wants to sell cattle."

Originally, Gu Siwei was just asking about it, thinking of saving some money to buy a cow in a few months. After hearing what Wu Meiling said, the cow transaction would have to be luck-based, so he stopped thinking about it.

"Fourth Dimension, what's under your raft?"

Wu Meiling, who was talking about cows, noticed two huge black shadows under Gu Siwei's raft and immediately became nervous.

"Don't move, don't move!"

Wu Meiling immediately signaled Gu Siwei not to move and not to startle the two shadows next to the raft.

Gu Siwei knew what Wu Meiling had discovered, so he smiled and said, "Don't be afraid of the two fishes. These two guys don't eat people. Not only do they not eat people, they also like people."

As he spoke, Gu Siwei stepped on the raft under his feet.

Grass Blossom and Cube immediately stuck their heads out from under the water.

"Ouch~!"

Wu Meiling was so frightened by the two giant fish that she sat down on the raft. In a panic, the raft, which was about to reach the shore, was carried downstream by the current.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law! Are you okay? This fish doesn't eat people."

Gu Siwei really didn't expect that two big fish could scare Wu Meiling like this. In fact, he didn't expect that when he saw the grass flowers and squares for the first time, he was not much better than Wu Meiling now.

Wu Meiling came to her senses, used the bamboo pole in her hand to hold the raft against the raft, and then looked straight at the two big fish heads on the water.

"You are really a god."

Wu Meiling looked at Gu Siwei and the two giant fish next to his raft and praised them sincerely.
