Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 190 Layers of Sugar
"Brother Siwei, sister Sicui eats candy".

Zhao Fangming and his wife came over with candies at this time, Zhao Fangming greeted them, and Sun Qiumei gave them candies.

Gu Siwei motioned for Si Cui to take the candy, and Si Cui stretched out his hands, bent his body slightly, and after a half-bow, he first thanked: "Thank you, Brother Fang Ming, Sister Qiumei."

Zhao Fangming smiled and praised: "Sister Sicui is really polite."

Zhao Fangming has seen so many children in the village today, even those who are older than Sicui, or even one or two years older, don't know what to do when picking up people and things. Bags, but Sicui is completely different.

Zhao Fangming couldn't help but praised in his heart: After all, Gu Siwei's family has been educated, and the children they teach are the same children but different.

Sicui smiled, and after saying thank you, she looked at the candy in her hand.

The wedding candy was wrapped in red paper. Gu Siwei took one look at it but didn't take a second look. It is obvious that the packaging of the wedding candy at this time is not as exquisite as it will be decades later. Nowadays, the wedding candies given to married couples in general families are all red. One pack of paper, better ones, ask the elders who are good at handwriting to write a happy word on it, or else just wrap it in light red paper.

There is not much candy in the paper bag, it looks like five or six yuan, but don’t be disgusted, if a child gives five or six yuan, it will add up to a lot.

You can't compare the living conditions in the village now with decades later, when everyone is eating and starving for half a year, how can there be any spare money for these things.

Even after the agricultural tax is not paid, the life of the farmers will be the same, not to mention the heavy land tax on the farmers now.

This is definitely not Kuadi. Shimo Village is deep in the mountains and the old forests are not enough to eat. If you pay land tax, you will starve to death, but the food that farmers have to pay outside is hard to say. As long as your family has grown food before , go back and ask the elders to know, farmers at this time are not easy at all.

"Eat what you want."

Seeing Si Cui looking at him, Gu Siwei smiled at her and said.

"Sicui, it's okay. At my sister's house, you can eat whatever you want. Today is my sister's big day. If your brother says you, tell me." Seeing Sicui's appearance, Sun Qiumei said with a smile.

Hearing what his brother said, Sicui opened the paper bun, took out a candy from inside, and didn't eat it by himself first, but took one out and sent it to Gu Siwei's mouth.

Gu Siwei originally said he didn't want to eat it, but the little girl stood on tiptoe, and finally he took it and put it in his mouth.

The candy is hard candy, the cheapest kind in the store. Usually, Gu Siwei doesn't buy it. Gu Siwei usually buys milk candy, such as the famous white rabbit in the country, or the brand produced here.

Buying is buying, but if Si Cui wants to eat more, it will definitely not work. Even if Gu Siwei doesn't care anymore, he is afraid that Si Cui will damage his teeth, so Gu Siwei buys a lot of candy, but Si Cui doesn't eat much. Most of the rest was given to the children in the village, and the rest was rewarded to the obedient monkeys.

"So sweet!"

Si Cui said something.

Hearing this, Sun Qiumei was even happier.

Sun Qiumei was afraid that Sicui would take out the candy and say that the candy was not good, and she would lose face.

This really happened. At noon, Sun Qiumei's little nephew came with his mother. Sun Qiumei greeted the little nephew with candy, and the little nephew said such words, which made Sun Qiumei feel unhappy.

Now everyone in the village has anything to do with Gu Siwei, and everyone has lost their comparability, because of what?If the difference is too big, there is nothing comparable. The folks go to the factory to buy some local products. What does Gu Siwei sell?The technology in hand, popular food and spicy food, how can this make others think why Gu Siwei is doing this, and I can't do it like this?

Isn't that why you can't find it yourself?

So if this matter was left to ordinary people, then Sun Qiumei might have written down the unhappiness, but if the little nephew compared her family with Gu Siwei's family, even if she wanted to be angry, she didn't have the heart.

Originally, she was afraid that Sicui would say the same thing, but Sicui's words were so sweet that Sun Qiumei immediately felt like a stone fell to the ground.

This may sound exaggerated, but everyone has different sensitivities. Things that you don't care about may pierce someone's heart and arouse people's hatred.

How else can we say that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs.

Sicui followed Sun Qiumei to the side, and the rest of the big guys continued to chat for about a quarter of an hour, during which some came and went.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Siwei, Liu Fulin, and Guo Shengshou all stood up.

"We should go too".

Liu Fulin said to the busy young couple.

Zhao Fangming said: "Let's play for a while, what are you doing going back so early?"

This is purely polite, it is still early, if it is not already summer, although it is not the dog days, but it is dark outside, if it is changed to another season, it will be time to light the lights.

"It's getting late, go back early, there are still some things at home." Guo Shengshou also said in a vague way.

So the two sides said a few more polite words, the three families left the yard, and the young couple was sent to the shore.

After getting on the boat, there was another burst of politeness, and finally Gu Siwei drove the boat upstream.

Passed the gorge.

Sicui yelled loudly towards the water: "Grass flower, Cube! Come out and tug the boat!"

As soon as the words fell, two water patterns appeared on the water surface and quickly moved towards Gu Siwei's boat.

Seeing the water pattern, Sicui laughed, and took off the two bicycle tire skins hanging on the penny rack at the head of the cabin, and threw them into the water.

Each tire skin has a cotton rope tied to the boat.

Hu Yanqiu was very curious when he saw Sicui's actions, and was about to ask about it when he discovered the usefulness of this thing.

I saw two big fish, Grass Flower and Cube, came out of the water, one for each, and directly stuck half of their heads in the ring of the tire skin. In this way, the two fish were like two horses, and the two tires The skin became something like a horse's bridle.

"You really remember it!"

Hu Yanqiu looked back at Gu Siwei, with a look on his face that I really don't know what to say about you.

At this moment Hu Yanqiu thought to himself: How does this man's heart grow, he can think of all kinds of messy things, this is too easy to talk about, fish to pull the boat?

Not to mention, it's really much more stable than pushing a boat!

Thinking of this, Hu Yanqiu felt it for a while, and suddenly felt that pulling a boat with grass flowers and squares was really much more stable than pushing a boat, and it was also smooth.

Gu Siwei took his bow and said with a smile: "This is not my idea."

"This is what I remembered."

At this time, Si Cui straightened her chest, looked like I was great, and reached out to pat her, emphasizing that she came up with such a good idea.

"Si Cui is awesome!"

If you change someone, it will be different immediately. What Gu Siwei came up with is a ghost idea, and what Sicui came up with is that Sicui is awesome.

Si Cui can't stand being praised by others, this is quite similar to her brother, she especially likes to be praised by others, if others say that she is not good, she will immediately lose face.

Cao Hua and Xiang Xiang pulled up the boat, and Liu Fulin could only follow behind.

"You go first, our manpower is not as good as your fish power!"

Seeing Gu Siwei looking at him, Liu Fulin said something to Gu Siwei with a wry smile.

Now Guo Shengshou is rowing, because he is young, and Liu Fulin is standing on the bow of the boat.

It's not that they don't have gadgets invented by Sicui on board, there are, but whether they can use them is not decided by them, but by the mood of the flowers and cubes.

And there is another rule, that is, as long as Gu Siwei's family boat is there, even if the grass flowers and cubes are playing in the water, they will not drag or push Liu Fulin's boat. No, the two goods just don't do it.

After a few tries, everyone will understand.

Liu Fulin could only comfort himself that he was more than enough and more than enough. He didn't even look at other boats. At least his family had enjoyed this kind of tugboat service.

"Then let's go first," Gu Siwei replied loudly.

When I was speaking, the boat was already 30 to [-] meters away from Liu Fulin's boat, and the rabbi had to push harder, so when the grass flowers and cubes pulled the boat up, the speed was naturally faster, but it was not enough. If you use your full strength, these two guys are only as good as the engines of the two motorboats.

After turning the corner, the water surface became slightly narrower, but it became straighter, and the speed of the grass flowers and cubes pulling the boat was obviously faster.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Hu Yanqiu even felt the cool wind on the water blowing towards his face, and he was indescribably happy.

"not going to work today?"

Gu Siwei looked at Hu Yanqiu with half-closed eyes, raised his chin slightly, obviously enjoying the evening breeze, and asked aloud.

"Go to work, but I asked for leave," Hu Yanqiu said.

"Ask for leave to come here to play Da Mao?" Gu Siwei was delighted to hear that.

After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu opened his eyes, turned his head, and gave Gu Siwei a hard look: "You are so kind and ignorant. I asked for leave to play with the bear? Do you think I am a three-year-old child?"

Gu Siwei thought in his heart: You think you are not, all the peach cakes you brought last time were fed to the bears, but people didn't eat a bite, anyway, I didn't eat a bite.

Ha ha!

"I think your family is going to harvest rice, so I asked for leave to help," Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei asked, "Have you harvested the rice yet?"

Where did Hu Yanqiu do this before, but she wouldn't say that she couldn't do it, so she opened her mouth and said, "Isn't it possible to learn it? Besides, how difficult this thing can be, isn't it just cutting with a sickle."

Gu Siwei listened to Zhile, and enjoyed it for a while, Hu Yanqiu who was so happy that everyone was going to explode immediately, and then he bowed to her: "Hu Daxia, the rice in that small family is all counting on you."

"What big shrimps and big fishes, you just look at it, I am a person who can learn everything quickly." Hu Yanqiu was full of confidence.

Sicui also nodded and said: "Sister Yanqiu, I believe in you, you are the smartest."

Gu Siwei looked at his sister and said with a smile: "The little girl's flattering skills are getting better and better, so don't worry about getting involved in the society in the future."
