Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

"Don't be too happy first. I have other requests here." Gu Siwei looked at the two of them happily.

After hearing this, Yang Chuanwu and Sun Qiumei's expressions changed instantly. Their current thought was that Gu Siwei wanted to compensate, which was not easy to handle.

Gu Siwei became happy when he saw the faces of the two of them, and opened his mouth to explain: "This house is fine for both of them, but I have a house here, and the village has to give me a piece of land to build a house no matter what. Ah, do you think this is true?"

"Hey! What did I say? You scared me into a cold sweat. I thought you wanted me to pay for it. It was agreed that I would not pay a penny, but if you want to build a house on the land, that would be great. That’s it, you can build it wherever you like. As long as it’s not in someone else’s yard, who can stop you?”

Yang Chuanwu thought it was something big, but it turned out that Gu Siwei wanted a piece of land to build a house.

Not to mention this matter in Yang Chuanwu's eyes, it is not a big deal in the minds of any of the villagers. The land is there and you can just build it if you have the money, so why are you still asking.

Sun Qiumei became even happier when she heard that she could use the house all the time. When she heard that Gu Siwei asked about the homestead in the village, she smiled and said: "Siwei, you are so funny. The land is there. You can build it if you have the money." , what else can the folks say? Whose house is not built like this, why can’t you do it alone?”

"So this is ah".

Gu Siwei scratched his head, and then brought back his thoughts decades from now. If you want to build a house in the village and get a homestead in a few decades, how can you ask your grandfather to sue your grandmother? You have to worship all the gods, but you still have to be special in order to be approved.

Yang Chuanwu smiled and said: "You can build a palace and no one will care about you. By the way, where do you have your eyes on?"

Gu Siwei was not polite and pointed directly at his old house, which was immediately to the west of Sun Qiumei's house: "I want a bigger piece of land."

"No problem, as long as you build a house on it, the land will be yours," Yang Chuanwu said with a smile.

"Okay!" Gu Siwei nodded happily.

That's it for the house.

Before Sun Qiumei left, she asked Gu Siwei: "Siwei, do you still want the things in the house? If you want it, I will ask Zhao Fangming to move it to you in two days."

"No, if you don't want it, just throw it away."

After thinking for a while, Gu Siwei felt that there was nothing there, just two chairs and two small beds, etc. It was really not worth taking him home.

Just like that, Gu Siwei followed everyone to Yang Chuanwu's house. In addition to these people, there were several other old people, all of whom were talkative people with different surnames.

So many people gathered together temporarily to discuss the matter of the mountain temple.

Gu Siwei originally thought that this matter would have to be discussed for ten days and a half, but who knew that after hearing this, he realized that everyone was surprisingly unanimous.

"Let me tell you, let's work sooner rather than later to provide for the Mountain God Grandpa as soon as possible. Now every household has an income. Let's not talk about anything else. Without the Mountain God Grandpa, everyone can't keep up with the hot food, so this It can’t be too late, even if it means setting up an offering table and offering the portrait first..."

As soon as Yang Chuanwu finished his words, an old man said blabberingly.

"That's the reason. What if the mountain god grandpa thinks that we don't understand the rules and don't care about his elders, so he doesn't care about us? So, this matter must be done as soon as possible. I will be responsible for the table offerings. , I hope the work at hand is not wasted."

"This altar table is easy to make, but where can I find good materials? I can't use pine wood to deal with the mountain god. That would be too disrespectful."

As the old man spoke, he glanced at Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei was looking eastward and westward. He was wandering around Taixu. When he turned his head, he saw everyone looking at him, so he asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Who's the one with me?"

Tao Yisheng said with a smile: "Everyone, I want to ask you a favor, that is, we are going to use two of the pieces of wood you put there to make a tribute table."

"Just take it if you need it." Gu Siwei waved his hand carelessly.

Yang Chuanwu said: "You have to say this, otherwise it's not stolen. What we want are the two middle-class elms in your pile of wood. They are very rare. This kind of material is rarely available now."

"It's okay, just take it. It counts as my contribution to the village."

Gu Siwei is no longer interested in elm wood because he has too many. Now that he has time, he wants to get some rosewood, sea yellow and the like.

For nothing else but one word: expensive!

I have never used this kind of furniture hanging wire before and would like to try it out to try it out.

It's a pity that Gu Siwei has never seen red sandalwood at all, nor has he seen huanghuali. Even in front of him, I don't recognize him.

In the past, there were bracelets and the like that had been around for a while, but Gu Siwei never dared to think that they were made of such expensive materials. Thirty-forty-one strings, he was satisfied that they were real wood, let alone expensive.

"There is one more thing I need to trouble Siwei," Yang Chuanwu said solemnly to Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei said: "Whatever you say, I won't push it until it can be done."

"Don't be so solemn, you two. It's just an offering. You need to buy some peach cakes, cakes and the like. These things require food stamps. Although we can raise the money, it's not easy to get the stamps."

Gu Siwei laughed after hearing this and said: "What do I mean? Leave this matter to me, and it will be considered as my contribution."

Gu Siwei felt strange in his heart. Logically speaking, wasn't this Grandpa Mountain God himself? I bought offerings for myself, and I didn’t know if anyone had done it before in history. Anyway, Gu Siwei felt that he had encountered it this time.

"How could that be possible? This isn't a treat or a gift. It comes as it comes. But we're not very familiar with exchanging these things. What's the price now?"

Gu Siwei thought for a while and said: "I really don't know. Most of the time I use factory meal stamps to buy things. Food stamps are very small, but I thought that I would have to exchange one or two yuan for a pound." Well, I’ll probably exchange it for this price privately.”

When they heard that one or two yuan was exchanged for a pound of food stamps, several old people looked at each other, and then they nodded gently to indicate that they had passed.

It's just a few snacks, but the old people are still willing to give up, especially when it comes to the mountain god grandpa, these old people are even more pious.

After taking the errand to buy cakes, there was nothing wrong with Siwei. What was more, Tao Yisheng talked about how to make the temple appear formal and pious.

A group of old men nodded in response, and from time to time someone touched their palms and praised him. Gu Siwei sounded sleepy and almost wanted to go home and have a good sleep.

After talking for almost an hour and a half, everyone dispersed.

The only thing left was to go back to their respective homes and find their respective mothers. Naturally, Gu Siwei also called Sicui. The brother and sister returned to their own small homes and began to figure out what to eat in the evening.

Early the next morning, Gu Siwei tidied up and told Sicui to read and study hard at home and not waste time in the vegetable garden at home, while he prepared to go to the factory.

As for what it is, it’s not simple. Yesterday I just agreed to get some cakes as a tribute to the Mountain God Grandpa. How can I not leave today? It was agreed that it will be revealed the day after tomorrow. Gu Siwei’s temperament is to rush early rather than late. , I'm leaving today and returning tomorrow, it's just right.

You can’t borrow mules now because the villagers are using them. Although everyone’s crops have been taken back to their homes, there is still time to dry them. It doesn’t mean that the crops are over when they are received at home. You have to keep these things well. It is also a technical job.

After leaving the village and picking up an easy path, Gu Siwei took out his bicycle, rode on it for a while, and then used the space to jump towards the factory.

I rested several times on the way, took a good nap, and finally arrived at the hills outside the factory just as the sun was setting.

He didn't stop. Although the sunset at the top of the mountain was very beautiful at this time, it didn't feel so beautiful after watching it for a long time. Gu Siwei was the kind of person who watched it for a long time, so he packed up and walked down the mountain with his basket on his back.

Arriving at Qiao Yitong's dormitory, Gu Siwei directly found the key and opened the door.

"master!"

Gu Siwei was startled. After taking a closer look, he realized that Qiao Yi was at home with this kid.

"Why are you at home?"

When I thought about it, this was wrong. It was originally my home, so why would I ask if I was home? How could it make sense? But this guy is usually at work. What happened today?

"I didn't go to work today," Qiao Yitong said.

Gu Siwei felt strange, put down the basket and asked, "Are you sick?"

"No, I'm just in a bad mood. I don't know what I'm thinking about all day long, and I can't concentrate..." Qiao Yitong explained his situation.

After hearing this, Gu Siwei said: "You are too arrogant."

Gu Siwei knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, because he had encountered such a thing before, that is, he couldn't figure something out even though he couldn't figure it out, but he still wanted to figure it out. Trapped in this matter.

Gu Siwei raised his palm at this time.

"What are you going to do?"

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yitong was very clever. When he saw something was wrong, he immediately jumped away and looked at Gu Siwei warily.

Gu Siwei said: "My master slapped me before when I was in this situation. I want to see if I can wake you up."

"I think you just want to hit me."

Qiao Yitong didn't believe it. As for the skills of the master Gu Siwei, Qiao Yitong couldn't agree more. But as for the master's character, Qiao Yitong felt that they still needed to discuss it.

"Just get a slap. I've experienced it before. It's really useful when you're in the wrong position. It's true." Gu Siwei raised his slap and started to look for Qiao Yitong.

How could Qiao Yitong be so stupid, so the two of them started to circle the table, one chasing and the other hiding, and they started laughing and joking.

After being like this for about ten minutes, Gu Siwei stopped and asked Qiao Yitong, "How do you feel now?"

"I feel a lot more relaxed." Qiao Yi said this, and the pain in his brain eased a little.

"So don't be hasty when doing things. As the old saying goes, slow things down, slow people down, and slow words down. When doing things, especially things that use your brain, your mood is actually the most important thing. Sometimes you can change your mind or change your place. There will be surprises for you," Gu Siwei said.

"Thank you, but master, I have good news for you," Qiao Yitong said with a smile.

"You want to get married?" Gu Siwei teased.

Qiao Yitong laughed: "It's nothing. I had a girlfriend and I boasted about it, but now I don't have time to find one."
