Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 687 Construction
Zhuangzi's bank protection started at a speed that Gu Siwei really didn't expect. After he and Lao Han made the decision, only four days later, the things needed for the bank protection were shipped.

The cement, steel bars and sand that Gu Siwei had begged his grandpa and grandma to find were all in place. Not only that, but there were also a lot more manpower. The only thing that made people feel heartbroken was the daily consumption of food. It is nearly doubled compared to the original amount.

There is no other way, there are too many people!
Naturally, work will go faster when there are more people. It was originally planned to build houses after the stone road was paved, but now the house embankment and other things are progressing much faster than the stone road.

The construction lasted until the 27th of the twelfth lunar month. People in Lujiazhuang had to go back to celebrate the New Year. Lao Han’s subordinates were not needed. However, the weather had already reached freezing time and construction was simply impossible, so Lao Han brought The team also went back.

The folks in Zhuangzi are all busy celebrating the New Year. This year’s New Year is very different. Zhuangzi has no shortage of all the New Year’s goods that can be bought in the market.

Not only that, but there were also new year's goods that were not available in the county. Gu Siwei also helped the villagers purchase them.

In short, for the Sixth Team of Shimo Village, this year can be regarded as a year of carrying forward the past and ushering in the future. By the Chinese New Year next year, the villagers will probably move to new homes. By then, these old houses will have to be demolished and those that need to be rebuilt will have to be demolished. .

Early in the morning, Gu Siwei got up, opened the curtains at home, and looked outside.

"Is it still snowing?"

Hearing the noise, Hu Yanqiu, who had taken a rare nap, woke up, asked his husband, then turned his head, covered his head with the quilt, and prepared to continue sleeping.

Gu Siwei hummed: "It's still raining, and the snow outside is already very thick. But it's a good thing. In the winter, there's a three-layer wheat quilt, so next year I'll sleep with a steamed bun as my pillow."

After saying that, Gu Siwei started to put on clothes.

After getting dressed, Gu Siwei left the room and came to the living room. When he looked up, he saw lights in his sister's room, so he walked over.

It's the New Year, and Sicui, who is studying in the capital, is naturally back. Not only Sicui is back, but his brother-in-law Hu Yanping is also back. However, Hu Yanping did not celebrate the New Year at Gu Siwei's house this year, but went back to his own home to celebrate the New Year.

There are more people in the family, and during the Chinese New Year this year, Gu Siwei’s uncle and his family are back. If their family goes there again, they won’t even have a place to stay. It’s not appropriate to stay with anyone during the Chinese New Year, so Gu Siwei The couple decided not to go anywhere this year, but to spend it at home. After the second grade of junior high school, they would go to the factory to visit relatives and friends.

Standing at the door and seeing that the door was open, Gu Siwei reached out and knocked gently.

Hearing a sound coming from inside, Gu Siwei opened the door.

"Why don't you sleep for a while?"

Opening the door, Gu Siwei saw his sister lying on the table reading a book. There were several thick books on the girl's desk.

Gu Siwei had never gone to college, but even though he had never gone to college, he was still surprised by the several thick books on his sister's desk that were as big as rocks. I can't even finish reading one.

Sicui heard her brother's voice and replied with a smile: "I'm used to it, brother, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I'm used to it too," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

After entering the room and sitting next to his sister, Gu Siwei asked: "Are you tired? If you are, just rest for a while and I will cook you some noodles later."

Sicui smiled and said: "I'm not tired!"

"Okay, you must be hungry now. I'm going to cook some noodles for you. I'll make you some fried chicken noodles using the chicken I just killed yesterday. I'll make some marinated chicken for you. Just the two of us will eat it. Everyone else is asleep. Let them eat in their dreams." Gu Siwei joked with the girl.

Seeing that Gu Siwei was about to leave, Sicui called out: "Brother".

Ok?
"If you have anything to say, just say whether you are in love or not. It's okay. I don't object to this. As long as you like it, any kind of person will do. As long as you are happy," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Sicui blushed and asked, "You don't ask me who I'm looking for?"

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "As long as they are not foreigners, no foreigners will do! Other than that, I won't interfere with whatever you are looking for. As long as you are Chinese, I don't have any problem with it, whether Han or other nationalities."

Sicui was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "It's popular in the capital to find foreigners. You don't know what dirty things some women will do in order to get close to foreigners."

"They are other people, and we are us! You don't really fall in love with a foreigner, do you?"

How could Gu Siwei not know this? Not to mention now, even decades later, there are still some women whose waistbands are as loose as noodles when they mention foreigners.

Sicui said: "It's okay, I hate the smell on them, it's like body odor!"

After living with Gu Siwei for a long time, Sicui must have been affected in some ways, including her views on foreigners. Many women think foreigners are superior, but Gu Siwei's family does not have such thoughts.

"Do you have someone you like?" Gu Siwei asked again.

Sicui shook his head: "Not really, I think they are a bit too naive. I'm looking for someone like you, steady!"

puff!

Gu Siwei laughed directly: "You are a member of your own family, and everything is good for your own family!"

steady?Gu Siwei himself didn't believe that he had such qualities, but it was normal for his own girls to praise him.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, brother, I want to tell you something," Sicui said.Gu Siwei said: "You say it, I'm listening."

"I want to study abroad," Sicui said.

Gu Siwei didn't find it strange at all. His sister studied very hard. To be honest, Gu Siwei felt that he was a few grades behind his own sister in terms of perseverance.

A child who has survived hard times is really not comparable to a child like Gu Siwei who grew up in an ordinary way.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements after graduation," Gu Siwei said.

Sicui said: "Yeah!"

"Why do you suddenly think of studying abroad?" Gu Siwei asked casually.

Sicui said: "The knowledge in our school now is a bit old and cannot keep up with the times. This is not what I said, but what our teacher said. He said that in fact, except for some experience that needs time to accumulate, he has nothing to teach him. He gave it to me and suggested that I go to the United States to study abroad for further studies...".

"Have you learned enough?"

Gu Siwei was really surprised now. His girl turned out to be a genius?You know, the place where she went to school was the top medical school!

Sicui said: "I also feel that I have learned almost enough...".

Gu Siwei listened to his sister's words and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements for you here."

At this time, Gu Siwei no longer said I asked anything. He was not worried about the people behind Raymond Sacno or Jay Omidyar rejecting him at all.

As long as they dare to refuse, Gu Siwei will dare to refuse!

As for whether they will refuse?That is definitely impossible, because now everyone's good relationship with the United States and our country is like mixing honey with oil.

Gu Siwei borrowed a lot of money, and the rich guys in California also lent a lot of money, so he still thought that Gu Siwei could borrow some more.

Gu Siwei's sister is going to study abroad and arrange a medical school for Gu Sicui. If these rich guys from California had any conscience, they would feel extremely ashamed. Unfortunately, they probably don't have any conscience.

That's how things were done, but Lao Gu just didn't believe they had any conscience.

"Okay?" Sicui asked.

Gu Siwei said: "What's wrong with that? If you want to go, I will make arrangements for you. Then you can choose the two that are better."

"I also know which one is better," Sicui said, "You'd better arrange it for me."

"Okay, are you hungry? I'll make you some noodles."

"hungry!"

"Okay!" Gu Siwei stood up with a smile, turned around and left his sister's room, and went to the pot house to make noodles for her sister.

When the noodles were ready, Gu Siwei put them on a tray, and the brother and sister were in Sicui's room, each holding a bowl of noodles and started sucking away.

After waiting to finish eating, Sicui took over the task of washing the dishes, while Gu Siwei took the fried dough sticks out of the house and prepared to go for a walk on Zhuangzi. I don’t know when, Gu Siwei developed this habit. , it seems that watching Zhuangzi's little changes is something to be proud of.

When we arrived in Zhuangzi, smoke was rising from every house. Even if there were snowflakes floating outside, it still did not block the smell of human fireworks.

At this moment, the place to park the boat is no longer optional, because the embankment has been built on the riverside, and the original water surface of the high water is more than two meters. If you park casually at this time, you have to climb ashore.

The reason why it is built so high is because we have learned from the previous floods. At the same time, after the river embankment is raised, soil and other things are piled on the south side, and the land area for growing food will naturally be larger.

The construction of the stone river embankment not only made both sides of the village's river look more beautiful, but also provided almost [-]% more land on Zhuangzi. Now with these lands, it should be possible to ensure that the whole village, based on the current population, Maybe no one will starve to death.

As the river embankment is higher, it is natural to set aside piers. Zhuangzi now has five piers on both sides of the river, two on this side of Zhuangzi and three on the other side.

In order to cope with possible future problems, several places have been reserved for expansion of the pier.

The causeways on both sides are about two and a half meters wide. The bottom is made of stones, and the top is paved with green slates. They are paved in a staggered pattern. When they reach the river, a section about [-] centimeters long stretches out. There are square troughs on it, which have not been installed yet. The wooden fence will be installed later and will look even more beautiful when the time comes.

Less than [-]% of the work is now completed, and it will take almost a year before it is fully completed.

It wasn't originally done like this, the design was much simpler, but now materials are no longer a problem. In keeping with Siwei's nature of being very successful, it is natural to do it in one step and build a century-old small project.

So as Party A, Gu Siwei opened his mouth, the plan was changed, and a more expensive and more beautiful causeway plan came out. At the same time, it also meant that more manpower was needed and more monolithic materials and materials needed to be ordered from the stone factory. As for gravel materials, the stone factory that was almost out of business has now restored almost [-]% of its production capacity. You will know how much Lao Gu can do.

To use the evaluation of Zhuangzi around them, it would be: Those gangsters from the Sixth Team didn’t know their last names after earning two cents!
