Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 72 The Apprentice
Although Gu Siwei said that the flowers and cubes were harmless, Wu Meiling still didn't have the guts to approach them. After watching them curiously for a while, she propped her raft up to the shore.

These two families have a lot of hands and have relatives in the village, so this small valley is well maintained. At least a small pier has been built at the mouth of the valley. Although it is made of wood, it still looks good. At least a boat or something There is no problem at all.

Not to mention, as soon as this small pier was built, there was a bit of smoke and fire.

After tying up her own raft, Wu Meiling turned to Gu Siwei and said, "Brother Siwei, why don't you go and sit at home?"

"No, I have to go back. I'm going to pick up Sicui to live in my new home today," Gu Siwei said.

Wu Meiling also heard about Gu Siwei's new home, but during this time, everyone in the village was busy with their heels hitting the back of their heads, and no one thought about Gu Siwei.

At this time, let's get busy and take care of the fields. When it's harvest time, we can't cry even if we want to cry. No one has time to take care of Gu Siwei's moving.

What's more, there are some people in the village who don't like Gu Siwei very much. As for which group of people they are, it is naturally the group of people who fought last time.

Fortunately, Gu Siwei doesn't care about these people. Fortunately, although you can't understand me and I can't understand you, you still maintain the way of getting along with each other.

"Moving, it's going to be exciting. Why didn't you say it earlier? Where are you going? Is it far from our place? Why haven't you heard about it? Is it uncomfortable to live in the village? That's right, the village There are too many things to do, and some people are not good at things..." Wu Meiling regained her energy when she heard this.

Gu Siwei said: "It's not far, it takes about ten minutes to go down the river."

"That's not close." Wu Meiling calculated in her mind.

Now she doesn't talk about using rafts every day, but she still goes out every two or three days. Naturally, she knows the flow rate of the river, and she also knows the approximate distance traveled down the river in ten minutes.

But saying so, it is not too strange for Gu Siwei to live in the mountains in her heart. The deeper she gets along with Gu Siwei, the more she feels that Gu Siwei is very special. Get along well with a lot of people.

In short, maybe this is what her husband Guo Shengshou and Liu Fulin said in private: this is a strange person.

"It's not too far, sister-in-law, you are busy, I have to go back to the village to pick up Sicui." Gu Siwei said and was about to leave.

"Wait, I made the clothes you made last time, and I'll bring them to you later."

Seeing that Gu Siwei was about to leave, Wu Meiling remembered that Gu Siwei brought a few pieces of cloth over last time and asked herself to help make some summer clothes. She is busy these days, and she is also doing it with her, and she has been procrastinating until now. good.

"I'll take it when I come back. It's not easy to take it now, so I can't put it on the raft." Gu Siwei thought for a while and said.

After hearing this, Wu Meiling said again: "It's okay, I'll bring you a basket, and it just so happens that Uncle Zheng has finished a box for you, so I just brought it here for you together."

"What, Mr. Zheng is here? What is he doing here?" Gu Siwei was a little confused, he didn't know why Mr. Zheng came here.

Wu Meiling explained: "Isn't Uncle Zheng Dezhu's master? Uncle Fulin thinks that Uncle Zheng has no children. If he lives alone, he might as well move here and let everyone be a companion, so that Dezhu can take care of his master." ...".

Gu Siwei stared and listened for a long time, but he didn't turn the corner. He wanted to come to Zheng old man to teach Dezhu's craftsmanship, which was part of his exchange of grain for bamboo weaving. He really didn't expect that Liu Fulin would be Seriously, and really thought about it for Zheng Datou.

"Don't old man Zheng have a nephew?" Gu Siwei asked after a while.

Wu Meiling seemed to take this as a matter of course, and opened her mouth and said: "How can my nephew take care of him? It's across the house, and besides, in the land of their third team, my family is almost unable to support them. How can I take care of my uncle? Still cousin."

Gu Siwei also wanted to say that his nephew took good care of him, at least... well, he didn't make the old man hungry.But after thinking about it, I decided not to talk about it, because this matter has nothing to do with him, Gu Siwei, and Liu Fulin is happy, so it has nothing to do with him.

Besides, it is not too much for the apprentice to take care of the master. It is not a shocking thing for the master to teach the apprentice how to eat, and for the apprentice to provide for the master.

"Oh, that kid De Zhu has to learn his skills, or else there are two old men in the family," Gu Siwei said.

"There are more people in the family, and life is so easy. It used to take two or three hours for the grandpa and grandson to water the ground, but now it takes less than two hours...".

Speaking of population, Wu Meiling started to talk about the benefits of having an extra old man Zheng.

For this, Gu Siwei really understands, not to mention anything else, his family's [-] acres of land are now planted with a la carte beside the house, and the rest of the land is empty.

When it comes to farming, Gu Siwei is a little confused. He knows how to plant in space, but he really doesn't know how to plant this land in reality.

"Look, I digressed while I was talking, I'll take it for you now, you... come up, what are you doing standing on the raft, you've arrived at the door of the house, go in and drink some water, or the head of our family will have a drink again It's time to blame me," Wu Meiling said.

Gu Siwei smiled after hearing this, and finally leaned the raft on the wooden pier and jumped onto the pier.

Following Wu Meiling into the valley, as soon as he entered, he was shocked by the sight that he couldn't see, because the valley was completely different at the moment, the originally gray land was now covered with green Although the seedlings are not tall, people like Gu Siwei who don't know how to farm are happy to see the way they grow.

"This...why is it planted?" Gu Siwei was surprised.

Wu Meiling said with a smile: "If you don't want to plant at this time, when will you plant it? I originally wanted to plant wheat, but at this time the planting can't catch up with the time. Why don't you plant a crop of rice first, and then a crop of wheat. The soil at the corners is shallow. You can also plant some potatoes or something... ".

Gu Siwei couldn't stop nodding after hearing this, but in fact, nodding was blind. He didn't know how much sweat Guo Shengshou and Liu Fulin had put in.

Let's put it this way, in order to open up this land, these people almost lost half of their lives on this land. If there were no relatives in the family, the land of the two families would not be cleared out so quickly, let alone more Water was poured into the fields.

The crops in the field surprised Gu Siwei, but the houses of the two families really made Gu Siwei not interested, because the house was not built according to the standard of a house at all, but was built according to the standard of a shack, and you have to bend when entering In the room, Gu Siwei's stature couldn't stand up straight at all.

So Gu Siwei pulled a bench in the yard and sat down, drank a bowl of water, and waited for Wu Meiling to enter the house to take out the things.

"See if it fits, I tried Sicui's this morning...".

Taking out the clothes, Wu Meiling asked Gu Siwei to try it on. Gu Siwei was not polite, he put the clothes on and thought it fit, so he nodded and praised Wu Meiling's craftsmanship.

Hearing Gu Siwei's praise, Wu Meiling's eyes nearly formed a line of laughter.

"This is……".

Gu Siwei found two pairs of shoes next to the clothes. The shoes with thousand-ply soles were called old cloth shoes decades later, and some were also called old monk shoes.

"The rest of the cloth made two pairs of shoes for you and Sicui. These were not made by me, but by my mother. I...".

After hearing this, Gu Siwei said: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you, why bother my aunt! Look at this matter, I also told you about the leftover cloth, and make a suit for the child."

"Brother Siwei, don't be polite to us. If you want to calculate this way, how many clothes is this place worth? I and the head of the house have no other skills. If you don't mind helping you with sewing, we are very happy up".

Wu Meiling is a person who knows how to be grateful, and she also understands that Gu Siwei is not short of anything, and he is not short of this cloth, but after discussing with her husband, she feels that this is not enough. If she reaches out to others, she will forget her own nature. If you don't have a part, you will have thoughts that you shouldn't have. If this is the case, you might as well live your own life according to your part.

Gu Siwei understood the meaning of Wu Meiling and his wife after hearing it. After knowing it, he didn't think that these two couples were stupid, but felt that he really didn't help the wrong person. Only when people have a sense of proportion, can these friends get along for a long time , Those who always want to take advantage of others will definitely not do well.

"Okay, I won't say much about thanking you," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

"It shouldn't be said, thanks come and go."

While smiling, she stretched out her hand to wipe the folds of clothes on Gu Siwei's shoulders, and Wu Meiling smiled sincerely and enthusiastically.

At this time, Guo Shengshou's voice came from afar.

"Brother Siwei is here, don't leave tonight, let's have a drink and call Uncle Fulin. You are really here, your sister-in-law just came back from home with a bottle of good wine, playing a long song , bottled!".

"Thank you, but I really have something to do today. Let's go another day. I will definitely come another day. I will bring some pheasants with me. Let's fry a chicken and stew a pot of wild pork. It will be beautiful with a little wine." ".

Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Guo Shengshou and Gu Siwei have been together for a long time, knowing that this person is the most annoying unnecessary politeness, so he laughed and said: "Okay, it's up to you, but don't delay too long, or you don't know who will come to the house. The wine is gone."

At this time, let alone drink loose wine in the village, it is usually the sour wine brewed by oneself. There is grain wine.

And the reason why Wu Meiling brought this wine from her natal family was actually to invite Gu Siwei to have a drink to express her gratitude. Now when the couple sees their own fields, they feel that Gu Siwei is their benefactor. This kindness is too great.

Gu Siwei really doesn't have time today, he has to pick up Sicui, he doesn't like the atmosphere in the village now, not to mention anything else, if he wants to have a good meal, he has to sneak around, move to Yinsongya as soon as possible , Eat whatever you want, serve a big bowl, half a bowl of meat and half a bowl of rice, and no one will care about you while sitting at the door.

This is called day!

Eating a bowl of rice is like being a thief, what the hell is this life.
