Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 15 You are too treacherous

Liu Fulin looked at Gu Siwei and said, "You are too honest a kid, the other family secretly cooks something to eat from time to time at night...".

me!

The people Gu Siwei listened to were dumbfounded, and cursed in their hearts: I just boasted that the people in Zhuangzi are solid-minded these days. Now it seems that everyone is fine.

Although according to what Liu Fulin said, it was nothing more than roasting a potato, or cooking a bean or something, but I have been doing it for almost a week.

The two meals a day were all thin, and Gu Siwei woke up from hunger almost every night in those few days, that is, he spent a lot of time in the woods and got some persimmons, so he fell asleep at night.

I originally thought that everyone was like this, carrying it every night like him.

But only now did he know that these guys secretly cook and eat after midnight every night.

People are not ancient!

People are not ancient wow!
In fact, Gu Siwei was wrong again. He really doesn’t know what most farmers eat. Roasted sweet potatoes are roasted sweet potatoes. When children hear it decades later, their reaction must be: I rub it, this thing How delicious.

But if you eat every day, you will feel uncomfortable, let alone dried sweet potatoes.

There are also some beans, which are not easy to eat, but you don’t have to eat them if you want to. The most important extra meal at night is cornmeal, or boiled dried potatoes.

Even if it is these, you will not be full if you want to. If you are full today, your family will be hungry tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

"Uncle, do you cook too? Where did you get the pot?" Gu Siwei asked.

Liu Fulin waved his hand and said: "My family doesn't cook, I really don't have a pot, I go to my brother Fuping's house to eat, and it's not a good thing. Sometimes it's a baked potato chip, and sometimes it's a walnut picked from the mountains."

"...".

Gu Siwei was speechless, and said in his heart: There is nothing delicious, you eat walnuts!
It's not that Liu Fulin wants to show off, but what Liu Fulin said is that the wild walnuts in the mountains are not real walnuts. Fragrant walnuts that can be pressed for oil.

The wild walnuts here have no oil, and secondly, they are small, about the size of a quail egg. People in the village are not willing to eat them if they have a ration, even if they have a piece of stick flour pancake.

Same as above, it’s still not enough to eat, but it’s just a puff to lie to the stomach and sleep more solidly.

"That is to say, there are almost all pots in the farmers?" Gu Siwei asked.

Liu Fulin nodded: "About half of them are there. A few years ago when the steel was made, a batch was sent up, but there are still a lot of them left. It's about two families, and they are all small pots."

Hearing what Liu Fulin said, Gu Siwei felt that he had to re-examine these farmers. Originally, Gu Siwei had a lot of psychological advantages against them, but now it seems that these farmers are not uneducated, but Master at your disposal.

In Gu Siwei's view, most people in this era are ordinary people. They can't tell the right from wrong, and they all follow the slogan when they shout.

But now these farmers have given him a lot of shock.

In fact, Gu Siwei took it for granted. The deeper the mountain, the harder it is for outside things to affect them. It is extremely difficult for outside things to affect them.

Here, there is only one struggle from ancient times to the present: how to survive.

The poor living conditions are not only a problem faced by their generation, since their ancestors first stepped here, this problem has always existed.

"You can't tell others about this, and we won't admit it if you say it. Not only won't we admit it, but we will even say that you are a bad person, that you are a spy sent over there..." Liu Fulin looked at Gu Siwei laughed.

Gu Siwei understood that this was Uncle Liu threatening him, telling him not to go out and talk nonsense.

"Are you afraid too?" Gu Siwei smiled.

Liu Fulin said calmly: "We're not afraid, we're just afraid of trouble, the worst thing is to drill into the old forest, it's not that I underestimate the group of young generals outside, just like them, as long as we eat half full, we can kill them as many times as we want. How many".

The mountain people have the toughness of the mountain people. Given the current conditions, there is really not much to do with these mountain people.

"How about it, do you regret staying?" Liu Fulin said with a smile.

Gu Siwei laughed after hearing this: "To be honest, I really like this place."

These words stunned Liu Fulin for a moment, turned around and said with a smile: "It's fine if you like it, if you have another prey, I want to exchange it for Dezhu to take you there."

"He always thought I was an enemy agent."

Thinking of Liu Dezhu, Gu Siwei said with a smile.

After hearing this, Liu Fulin sighed: "If I go one day, please protect me for my sake."

"Don't you have a younger brother?" Gu Siwei was a little puzzled.

You have a real brother and a real nephew, why did you come to me for this matter?

Liu Fulin looked at Gu Siwei, sighed after watching for a while, he didn't know how to tell Gu Siwei about this.

"I'll talk to you later when I have time."

Liu Fulin didn't want to mention this.

People don't say it, Gu Siwei is not interested in asking, he doesn't want to get involved in this matter at all, he goes in to mess with other people's affairs, thinks his life is too long?

After chatting with Liu Fulin for more than an hour, Gu Siwei asked about the current social situation. Although he knew that he had reached this era, he knew almost nothing about this era. , as long as you have a little ambition, you will have nothing to worry about in this life, including your grandson's life.

But what this era is like, he can say that he doesn't understand it at all, he only knows a general idea, which is very general.

The only thing that can shock Gu Siwei is the price. Pork now costs [-] cents per catty, eggs cost [-] cents per catty, and Chinese cabbage costs [-] cent per catty...  

Agricultural things are cheap, but industrial products are expensive. For example, a sewing machine costs about [-] yuan, which is a worker's salary for several years.

But these have little to do with Gu Siwei now, what he wants now is to get some seeds to grow things.

"Uncle, where can I get the seeds, or where can I change the seeds?" Gu Siwei asked.

Hearing Gu Siwei's question, Liu Fulin asked a little puzzled: "What do you ask this for? You want to farm, and Chuanwu promised to give you the land?"

Liu Fulin thought that Yang Chuanwu would give Gu Siwei land in the future.

Gu Siwei shook his head: "No, I want to open a piece of land to plant by myself, I can't just plant nothing."

Liu Fulin said: "Let's wait, you want to open land nearby, how can it be so easy."

Liu Fulin didn't go into details, his thinking was, wait and see, maybe Gu Siwei on both sides of the river also has a chance.

Gu Siwei didn't think so. He had no interest in the land in the village at all. What he lacked now was seeds. As long as he had seeds, he could eat enough white rice and noodles every day. If there was space, he would need a piece of land.

What Lao Gu said about opening up wasteland was just a cover-up, telling others that he had land, so it was only natural to take out the grain.

Seeing what Liu Fulin said, Gu Siwei naturally didn't say much. He thought that when he found the land and pretended to drive out, it would not be too late to say it.

After talking for a long time, Liu Fulin left, leaving Gu Siwei alone in the room to ponder.

After chatting with Liu Fulin for so long, Gu Siwei felt that what he thought before had to be adjusted. He didn't think of the item of barter, but now that he knows it, many people who thought about it before but never had a chance have to mention it. It's on the agenda.

But before that, he had to find out how the exchange was done and the approximate exchange price.

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't figure out anything. You have to go to the scene to see this thing to know. How can you think of it.

Then he ate and slept honestly. In the early morning of the next day, Gu Siwei didn't eat in the dining hall either, but went out of the yard and started to wander around.

It's not about wandering, but Gu Siwei is going to find a place suitable for him to open up wasteland.

Originally, Gu Siwei planned to get this place closer to the village, but not too close, preferably near the water source.

It was a good idea, but after he turned around for a while, he realized that it didn't work at all. The reason is very simple. If it works, the people in Zhuangzi have been fools for generations. Open it up to grow food?

Don't forget, we are born with the ability to open up wasteland and farm land. After more than ten years, this group of people who went to the United States can find an open space to plant, let alone now.

After turning around, Gu Siwei discovered that, except for the banks of the river, other places are really not suitable for growing crops, because almost all the mountains in this area are stone mountains.

There are also trees growing on the mountain, but the trees are very low, and the roots of the trees are stuck in the cracks in the rocks. The bigger the tree is, the bigger the cracks in the rocks are.

It looks like the ground is full of soil, but in fact, you can see the rocks inside if you carry it down tens of centimeters, or even [-] centimeters. Isn’t it fantastic for you to grow food on this land?

The entire naturally formed valley, except for some fields formed by the sediment brought down by the river all the year round, is not suitable for reclamation at all.

If it doesn't work here, then go a little farther and have a look.

So Gu Siwei went further away again.

I lead a group of monkeys around all day long, and I feel free and easy.

After going around like this for almost a week, Gu Siwei really found a place.

Standing on the edge of the cliff with his waist crossed, Gu Siwei looked at a small valley in front of him, and felt that this place was not bad.

Squeak!

The monkey next to him saw Gu Siwei with his hips on his hips, and after yelling twice, he gave Gu Siwei some food.

Gu Siwei took it without thinking too much, just holding it in his hand, he didn't even realize that the monkey gave him something to eat at the moment.

It's like when a person calls, he picks up what you give him, and Gu Siwei is in this state at the moment.

The one who gave Gu Siwei something is naturally a sycophant. Except for the sycophant, no other monkeys are qualified to show courteousness to Gu Siwei.
