Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

The little kid smiled sheepishly at Gu Siwei, but his hand protecting Tang showed no intention of letting go.

Gu Siwei was not interested in teasing the children, so he squatted and looked at them.

At this time, a small hand stretched out in front of him, holding a piece of candy in his small hand.

Gu Siwei looked at it and found that it was another little boy. He seemed to think that Gu Siwei wanted to eat candy, so he put the uneaten candy in his other hand to Gu Siwei's mouth.

"Uncle Siwei, you eat!"

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "I won't eat it. I have eaten it. I am an adult and can't eat much sugar. You can eat it. I was just joking with him."

The little kid was a little suspicious and stretched the candy in his hand towards Gu Siwei's mouth.

Gu Siwei opened his mouth, pretended to take a bite, reached out and touched the little baby's head: "Okay, I've eaten, you can eat."

Seeing this scene, Sicui said to the little kid: "Sanmaozi, my brother can eat as much as he wants."

After hearing Sicui's words, the little boy retracted his hand and looked at Gu Siwei with a puzzled face, but in the end his eyes fell on the candy in his hand, and he continued to stretch out his little tongue to lick the candy.

No matter how hard they licked, there was always a time when they were finished. These little guys seemed to have made an appointment and almost finished licking the candy in their hands at one point.

After licking the candy, the boys continued to turn over the stones for fun. The girls naturally went to pick wild vegetables. For them, picking wild vegetables seemed to be a kind of fun.

It seemed that Gu Siwei discovered a different kind of happiness on Sicui's face.

Gu Siwei stood up and felt a little urgent to urinate, so he walked aside to drain the water.

Just after draining the water, Gu Siwei raised his head and took a casual look, and found a fluffy little head on the tree not far ahead, which looked like a baby monkey.

Gu Siwei walked over curiously, wanting to see if it was a monkey.

When he got closer, Gu Siwei realized that what he saw was not a monkey head, but a Hericium mushroom.

Carefully looking up at the tree, Gu Siwei knew that most Hericium erinaceus growing on trees grew on dry branches or dry trunks. These trunks could easily fall up and injure people, so when he got close, Gu Siwei naturally had to carefully observe the surrounding situation.

Gu Siwei quickly remembered that he didn't have to worry about this. There was room to support him, so he just had to move forward boldly.

Just when Gu Siwei wanted to lift his leg, a small shadow suddenly jumped out from behind Gu Siwei and ran directly to the tree trunk.

"Hericium, I discovered Hericium."

The little guy ran and screamed.

Gu Siwei always felt a little apprehensive. Before he could think about it in a hurry, he heard a clicking sound in his ears.

Gu Siwei looked forward and saw that a bowl-sized trunk on the tree had cracked and was about to fall down.

Taking three steps and two steps at a time, Gu Siwei rushed forward, stretched out his arms to hug the frightened boy, rolled on the ground, and then felt something brushing against his body and hitting the ground.

Turning around, he saw that it was the cracked tree trunk just now. If Gu Siwei hadn't struck quickly, the child would have been hit by the trunk.

If the tree trunk hit him hard, such an older child would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

Gu Siwei was filled with fear when he thought that the child might be injured or even lose his life because he brought him out.

If this thing really happened, how could you ask Gu Siwei to tell his parents? Even if he had to pay compensation, what would happen? Even if his parents didn't say anything, how could Gu Siwei get over it in his own heart? He would have to remember it all his life. this matter.

"Are you okay?"

Gu Siwei asked the child.

The frightened child nodded and swallowed for a while before replying: "Uncle Siwei, I'm fine."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay," Gu Siwei let out a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Siwei, there are Hericium mushrooms on the tree."

The boy didn't give up and still pointed at the Hericium mushroom on the tree.

But at this moment, Gu Siwei was not in the mood to pay attention to Hericium, so he picked up the child and walked back to the place.

"Sicui!"

After shouting twice in succession, Sicui heard it.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

Sicui held a sickle in one hand and a basket in the other. She stood on tiptoes and looked towards Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei said: "I'm going back. It's getting late. It's probably too dark when I get home now."

Sicui raised her head and looked at the sky, thinking that this is such a great skill, why is it so late?

"Brother, just dig a little longer. I've only dug half of the basket."

Sicui didn't want to leave.

How could Gu Siwei dare to stay here? The older girl was fine, but such a young boy was so tough. What happened just now scared him so much that he almost lost half his life. Why would he still stay here? Isn't that just looking for trouble? There's no point in being worried.

"Come back soon, don't you still have to tidy up the vegetable garden?"

Gu Siwei said.

Hearing what her brother said, Sicui seemed to understand something, so she put the basket on her shoulder and said, "Let's go back."

"I've only dug half of the basket, and I'm about to go back."

The two girls were also in the mood for fun. When they heard that they were going back, they suddenly became a little unhappy.

However, the two of them were obviously a little afraid of Gu Siwei, mainly because they had little contact with Gu Siwei, and they also knew about the fights between Gu Siwei and several brothers from the Sun family. Gu Siwei, who could win against a few, naturally made them a little scared.

Sicui said: "Let's go and come back next time. Also, many dishes are a bit old."

After returning to the village smoothly, Gu Siwei handed over the little boys to their parents, and then took Sicui back to his old house.

After getting on the boat, Sicui opened her mouth and asked, "Brother, why do you want to go home so soon?"

Sicui knew that something must have happened, otherwise her brother would not have changed his decision. He originally said that he would come back when the sun went down, but now he came back at just this time.

Gu Siwei explained the matter: "We can't take these naughty children next time. If there is no danger, they are the biggest danger."

"Monkey head?"

Sicui's attention was not on the matter, but on the monkey head that Gu Siwei was talking about.

"Yes, Hericium. If it weren't for Hericium, I don't think this kid would be able to run so fast," Gu Siwei said.

Sicui said: "Hericium heads are very useful to us. Each one can be sold for several yuan."

Gu Siwei was stunned after hearing this: "So expensive?"

Decades later, Gu Siwei felt that Hericium heads were not so expensive. However, he couldn't remember whether it was expensive or not. This issue was difficult to pursue.

Sicui did not answer, but nodded affirmatively: "It's expensive, the bigger it is, the more expensive it is. Last time someone picked one that weighed more than ten kilograms..."

"Wait, this thing weighs more than ten kilograms?" Gu Siwei really couldn't imagine what a monkey head weighing more than ten kilograms looked like.

Sicui said: "Hericium can be divided into those on trees and on the ground. The ones on the ground can grow larger. It is rare to have more than ten kilograms. But I heard from Grandpa Luan that the largest one he has ever seen can grow to twenty kilograms."

Twenty pounds? Gu Siwei stretched out his hand and gestured, feeling unimaginable.

If you can't think about it, don't think about it, just get down to business.

Gu Siwei made a self-examination in his mind. If it were decades later, he would never have such close contact with other people's children. When he saw children, even the children of his colleagues, he would stay as far away as possible , because everyone’s children are precious, and you don’t dare to give even a banana to their children. If something goes wrong with the food, you can’t afford it.

But now, Gu Siwei found that after living in the village for this period of time, he had become a little lax about this matter. It is no wonder that people now do not have as many things as people in the future, let alone hug and tease children. The old people in the village, from time to time You can catch the little kid running on the ground and grab a little sparrow or something.

Of course, this is limited to elders and direct relatives, but compared to a few decades later, it is really too loose.

It was precisely because of this environment that Gu Siwei relaxed his vigilance in this regard.

This must not happen again in the future. Children who are too young do not know what to do and are too easily in danger. It is best to stay away from them.

The brother and sister were rowing and were about to go home when they suddenly heard Guo Xiangping's voice from the shore.

"Fourth dimension! Fourth dimension!"

Gu Siwei asked loudly: "Is something wrong?"

"Come on!"

Guo Xiangping stood at the shipbuilding area and waved to Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei docked the boat to the shore, let Sicui stay on the boat, and walked towards Guo Xiangping.

"Siwei, let me discuss something with you," Guo Xiangping said.

Gu Siwei thought about it for a while and thought it might be about his own boat. Now that everyone's attention was on the fields, there must not be much time for boat building, so Guo Xiangping had to discuss with himself how to spend his time on boat building. Push back.

"About the boat?"

Gu Siwei asked.

Guo Xiangping nodded: "There may not be enough time during the day, so...".

"How many days will it be pushed?"

Gu Siwei asked what he was thinking.

Although it is understandable, Gu Siwei is unlikely to be happy in his heart, because Gu Siwei feels that he is treating the villagers like this, and now it turns out that the ship can be completed in two or three days, and everyone is still delaying it.

Who can feel comfortable with this matter, not to mention that Gu Siwei still has no boat.

Guo Xiangping looked at Gu Siwei's confused face and asked, "Who said you want to push it?"

"Don't push?"

Gu Siwei felt strange: I don't know why you asked me to come here. You can't finish it ahead of schedule.

"What are you pushing? You are still pushing at this time. The elders and I are working together. Aren't you used to the factory? Go and borrow a gas lamp and hang it up when the time comes. We will take it with you. Just do it at night, there’s not much work left, it’s only two or three days…”

Now it was Gu Siwei's turn to feel a little embarrassed, as he had misled people.

Gas lamps are now a valuable thing. At least for the folks in the Sixth Team, they can't afford them. Most of the oil lamps at home are made by picking up used medicine bottles. Who has the spare money to buy gas lamps? A big thing.

"What am I talking about? Let me go to the factory tomorrow and ask." When Gu Siwei heard that he was not going to delay the launch of the ship, he immediately agreed to the matter.

Just buying a gas lamp, how big a deal could it be for Gu Siwei?
