Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 435 Slow Rhythm

The food in the big pot was still fragrant. Even if it was the leftover soup, no one cared. Everyone, including Gu Siwei, ate it with gusto. Lao Gu felt that it tasted more like home than what he had eaten in Hong Kong.

At night, Gu Siwei and his wife returned to the house and waited for everyone to fall asleep. The couple secretly warmed up for a while.

"How's the situation with Xiaomei?"

Hu Yanqiu lay in her husband's arms, twisted to a comfortable angle, and hummed happily before asking.

These words made Gu Siwei not sure how to answer.

After waiting for a while, but her husband didn't answer, Hu Yanqiu turned to look at Gu Siwei: "What's wrong?"

Gu Siwei was a little embarrassed: "I really don't know. I wanted to ask when I went there. Who would have thought that many things were not going well in Hong Kong this time, and a bunch of bullies actually robbed us of our money? You say you are angry or not, but I have no choice but to let others snatch me away, and I have to laugh with you when you say I am feeling aggrieved or not?"

"Oh, who robbed your money?" Hu Yanqiu was a little curious.

Gu Siwei reminded: "It's not my money, it's our money."

"It's your son's money, what does it have to do with me?" Hu Yanqiu said with a smile: "My mission is to give birth to a son for the old Gu family. Now the mission has been completed very well. Even if you meet your ancestors, you can't fault me. ".

"Yes, yes, you are the hero, everyone knows it." Gu Siwei smiled at his wife.

At this time, Hu Yanqiu stretched out his hand to caress his stomach, and asked with a puzzled expression: "You said this is strange. It happened once when you touched it before. Why hasn't there been any movement in the past few years?"

"Alive!" Gu Siwei was startled.

Hu Yanqiu said: "Why not if I can still have children? Didn't you say you want a daughter? Then let's have another daughter. It would be great to have both children then."

"Farewell, these six are enough headaches every day, and the geese in their yard have to walk in fear," Gu Siwei said.

The few boys in my family, except for the boss who is a little better, the rest are crazy, especially the second and fifth. I don’t know if it’s because they all have the same Zhong in their names, and even their personalities are similar. , every day is like taking a shot of chicken blood, so energetic.

"It's not like we can't afford to raise them! Let's be a little more noisy now. When you get older, you will know the benefits of having so many children. When the time comes, you will have a bunch of grandchildren, and it will be great for the family to be happy..."

Listening to what Hu Yanqiu said, scenes from the short videos he had seen before came to Gu Siwei's mind. During the summer vacation, the old man and his wife looked at a bunch of grandchildren, more than a dozen of them, who had to eat rice every day. After losing more than ten or twenty kilograms, even a hundred kilograms of pork can last for two or three days. The old man and the old lady are busy from morning to night, and they don't have any free time to feed these grandchildren.

Thinking of this, Gu Siwei shuddered subconsciously.

"What's wrong? Are you cold?" Hu Yanqiu felt it.

Gu Siwei said: "It's not about the cold. This is what I think about this matter. When the children grow up, let's not stay here anymore. You and I will buy a yacht and we will travel around the world together. Travel around the world and don’t tie your life to your children and grandchildren.”

"What's the point of that?" Hu Yanqiu didn't think so.

"Okay, then it's up to you," Gu Siwei said.

Isn't it nonsense to argue with Hu Yanqiu? Although they are a couple, sometimes their thoughts cannot be completely unified. Gu Siwei, a smart man, understands this and will not force it.

"Do you want another child?" Hu Yanqiu asked.

Gu Siwei said: "I really don't want it anymore. But if you want it, let's give it a try."

"Why hasn't it happened in the past few years? Have you done anything?" Hu Yanqiu expressed his doubts.

How could Gu Siwei admit this? He immediately shook his head and said, "What did I do? You don't feel anything when you wear something. It's just bad luck."

Hu Yanqiu is still quite innocent. She doesn't know that there are many ways in the world. At this time, people's mentality is to give birth as soon as they have it. They are all married people anyway. Isn't it a normal thing to have a child.

Otherwise, the population of this generation is increasing the fastest. Everyone thinks so. In addition, there are no entertainment activities. There is no place to dance or hang out in the evening. If you get married, you will not go home to have children. What?

"Too!"

Hu Yanqiu continued: "Then while you are at home, let's work hard and try to hold a little girl again this year, so that you won't be able to tear your eyes out when you look at other people's little girls."

"You are unjustly accusing me. When did I look at that little girl's eyes and I can't pluck them out?" Gu Siwei said with a smile.

"Today you played with the little girl in your arms at Qiushu's house for a long time. You can see the envy on your face," Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei immediately denied: "If you look at it with colored glasses, you must be wrong. I have to tease people when they hold the baby, otherwise it will look raw."

"Whatever you say," Hu Yanqiu said with a smile.

"By the way, let's talk about the Hong Kong city and Zhang Xiaomei's affairs when we go next time. I'll forget about it this time," Gu Siwei said.

"Are there really so many things going on over there?" Hu Yanqiu asked.

"More, I guess there will be more soon. I guess I have to go there often, every once in a while, at least once a month," Gu Siwei said.Hu Yanqiu said: "How much money are you making over there?"

"There is a lot of money to be made, but it is not just about money," Gu Siwei said.

There are some things that I can't tell Hu Yanqiu. It's really not just about making money. If it was just about making money, when facing those old bastards a few days ago, Gu Siwei would have already pulled out a 40-meter machete blade and dipped the mermaid slices in soy sauce. Feed them.

There are still many people who rely on Gu Siwei for a living, and there are many people who have just arrived in Hong Kong without a place to make a living. Now that he has returned to this era, he must make some contribution within his ability.

"I don't understand either, but what I want to say is that our life is pretty good now. You don't have to care so much about whether you make more or less money. It would be quite meaningless if people spend their whole life focusing on making money. "Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei stretched out his finger and hooked his wife's chin: "You can see clearly, everyone wants their husband to get rich, but you still advise him not to get rich."

Hu Yanqiu said: "I don't have that big ambition. If we have enough to eat and drink, and the children are in harmony, we can grow old together and be able to take care of our grandchildren. If God rewards us more, let us see great grandchildren." , that would be the best."

"You, look away from your home and look outside," Gu Siwei said.

"I said I'm not that ambitious," Hu Yanqiu said.

"It's pretty good," Gu Siwei said.

The two chatted for more than half an hour, and Hu Yanqiu began to take a nap. Gu Siwei then closed his mouth, held his wife in his arms and patted her on the back gently. After a while, Hu Yanqiu fell asleep sweetly. After a while, In 2 minutes, Gu Siwei also fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was almost dawn, and the big rooster at home was crowing.

Hu Yanqiu had already gotten up, listening to the sound and busying himself outside.

Gu Siwei put on his coat and went outside. He saw that everyone was up. Except for his six little lazy guys, everyone was working and endorsing, and it was a happy scene.

"Siwei, wake up. Are you ready to leave so early?"

Li Fanghai asked casually when he saw Gu Siwei walking out of the house.

As mentioned yesterday, today we were going to the factory and the radar station to deliver loquats and honey, so Li Fanghai asked at this time.

Gu Siwei said: "It's too early."

"Go early and return early," Yu Yingzhi also said.

"What about you, why are you up so early? Work will start at dawn, right?" Gu Siwei asked.

Yu Yingzhi said: "That's right. Weed the ground and wait until breakfast before going there. Today's work is not too heavy, so there is no need to go so early."

With a cry of "Oh," Gu Siwei raised his feet and began to walk around his own field, that is, around the fruit trees, and began to inspect his territory.

After looking around, I saw that the crops in the fields were growing quite well, and the fruit trees were blooming when they were supposed to and bearing fruits when they were supposed to.

The little bees who had just been unloaded a circle of honey began to work diligently again, collecting nectar between the shadows of flowers and fruits in the flower field.

The big pig at home was humming and chirping with the little pig, digging up the mud on the slope to find anything edible under the soil.The big pigs are almost all sows, there are a few boars, and most of them are eunuch pigs, which are kept to be killed for meat.

Naturally, there are breeding pigs, but the breeding pigs will not hang around these sows with their cubs. If Gu Siwei guessed correctly, they should be chasing Pig Girl deeper into the forest at this moment.

Following the wild boar were Gu Siwei's domestic chickens. They followed the pigs and took advantage of them. If there was anything in the mud that the pigs dug up that the pigs didn't eat, they would get the advantage.

The geese and ducks still fly to the river to forage every day. Sometimes they fly back to the poultry house at night, and sometimes they don't come back at all. Anyway, no one cares about them. If you want to collect eggs, just touch them to lay eggs. Just place.

In short, everything at home is still the same, just like it was before Gu Siwei left.

Time here is always very slow. On the contrary, the current Hong Kong city changes almost every day. Gu Siwei has also experienced this kind of change. When he was a child, he didn’t see any high-rise buildings. When he grew up, it seemed that domestic cities suddenly entered the city. Like a modern city.

After walking around for a long time and returning home, just in time for dinner, Gu Siwei picked up the bowl and found a place to squat down like everyone else, with the steamed buns in one hand and the soup in the other, and he started to slurp it up.

After eating the soup, the steamed buns also entered the stomach.

Gu Siwei suddenly said: "Do you want to get a bigger table? In our family's situation, we have to get a long table, the kind that is about ten meters long, or it is too small to sit so many people."

"Just do it. If there's anything difficult about the table, just put it outside." Li Fanghai's suggestions were always so crude.

"Outside? How do you eat when it rains? I think we can just build a pavilion and surround it in winter. It will not be cold to have a stove inside and eat," Yu Yingzhi said.

Gu Siwei didn't say anything, and a few old men said a few words and decided on the matter. As for when it will be done, they don't know yet because the school has not been built yet.
