Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Everyone worked with their heads down while the sun was not yet hot, and waited for the sun to rise and the temperature to rise, then they stopped to eat something.

It only took about ten minutes, no more than twenty minutes at most. The villagers, who had eaten something and rested their feet, began to work again.

The matter of recruiting workers has been settled, and everyone's hearts have calmed down. It's a foregone conclusion that who should go and who shouldn't go, so everyone is working hard, thinking about collecting the food of Gu Siwei's family as soon as possible.

Gu Siwei's work today is the same as yesterday, except that today Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu have a lot more helpers. A group of monkeys who drank malted milk and drank chicken blood helped pick up the rice.

Now Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu no longer need to run around. They only need to squat under the shade of the tree and be responsible for pinning rice ears.

Now this work is not only easy, but also not hot, which really makes Gu Siwei, who is already thick-skinned, a little embarrassed.

"How about I go harvest the rice?"

Gu Siwei said to Liu Fulin who came back to drink water.

Liu Fulin picked up the torn towel on his shoulder. There were three or four holes in it. It was just big holes with small holes. But the old man still couldn't bear to throw it away and kept hanging it on his shoulder.

But having said that, very few of the towels hanging on everyone's shoulders are in good condition now. At least the ones that have lost their hair can't be called towels at all.

Gu Siwei's eyes fell on the old man's towel, and he thought about bringing back a towel for everyone when he goes to the factory next time. What is everyone's towel like now? Is this still possible?

As soon as Liu Fulin heard that Gu Siwei wanted to cut the rice, he immediately said: "You'd better tie your rice. You don't have to worry about cutting the rice. Now that you are in the field, everyone is more busy."

Liu Fulin is now arranging for everyone to work together, because the efficiency is almost the same. Several people line up and work together, which is a bit like a harvester. Everyone is at about the same progress. Bringing Gu Siwei will be troublesome, and someone will have to turn around to help. Gu Siwei cut off once.

We might as well not take Siwei with us during this time, at least we will feel better.

Gu Siwei smiled awkwardly.

Hu Yanqiu said cheerfully: "Don't think about doing technical work. Just tie rice ears honestly. Now you can hardly compare with me in doing this."

Liu Fulin listened and looked at it and said, "Really, you guys should have some snacks too. Isn't it embarrassing to be outdone by a girl like Hu Yanqiu?"

"hehe!"

Gu Siwei is not embarrassed about this matter. After decades, he has been crushed by women less often? I have practiced it long ago and don’t take it seriously at all.

We are not like today's men, who are a bit chauvinistic. We are in line with the trend of the times, um, advanced trend.

At this time, Hu Yanqiu asked Liu Fulin: "Sister Qiu seems a little unhappy today. She was quite willing to talk yesterday, but she hasn't said two words until now. What's wrong?"

Liu Fulin whispered: "What else can happen? Fang Ming gave up his place to Qiu Mei's nephew. It's strange that Qiu Mei can be happy... Alas, this old one doesn't have the old look, and the young one doesn't have small rules. Just thinking about taking advantage of others without caring about their lives."

Liu Fulin shook his head when he said this.

Hu Yanqiu couldn't say anything, so he could only sigh. Everyone had discussed this matter at dinner last night. Although they were a little mentally prepared, Sun Qiumei's parents did not handle this matter very well. My daughter and son-in-law didn’t have any rations. I finally had a job to support the family. How could I be embarrassed to take it away!

But it’s hard for outsiders to say anything about this.

Gu Siwei glanced at Zhao Fangming subconsciously at this time and found that the boy was still the same as before, as if he was not the one who lost his job as a worker.

Seeing Zhao Fangming's look, Gu Siwei couldn't help but praise in his heart: It's rare to see such a calm and calm person!

"Okay, you two keep plowing. When this ridge is harvested, I will come over and beat the rice ears."

After Liu Fulin finished speaking, he turned around and entered the field again.

Everyone worked hard, including Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu.

When it was almost noon, Sun Qiumei and Wu Meiling were preparing lunch together with Sicui and their mother who was adopted yesterday, that is, the old lady with extraordinary temperament.

After eating, it’s natural to rest again.

Gu Siwei happened to be beside Zhao Fangming.

I thought this kid was asleep like yesterday, but he kept his eyes wide open.

Gu Siwei asked: "Still thinking about recruiting workers?"

Zhao Fangming was quite honest and nodded: "Well, how could you not want to!"

This is the truth. The couple originally had no land and no land, but they suddenly changed from farmers to workers. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is an earth-shaking change.

It's a pity that the meat was snatched away before it even tasted in your mouth.

"You don't have to give it." Gu Siwei felt that Zhao Fangming was too talkative.

Zhao Fangming said: "My mother-in-law knelt down for me as soon as she walked in. How can I say that a family that is fighting over a job is not a family, and people are not human beings? Would you rather not have this job, and I am a man, so what should I do? If I can’t support a family, I won’t believe it.”

After hearing this, Gu Siwei reached out and patted Zhao Fangming on the shoulder. He wanted to praise him as a man, but he felt that this man had wronged him too much.

Of course, such a person, Gu Siwei, likes to be friends with him, not for anything else but for the sake of stability.

If you can give up a quota for a non-agricultural person at this time, it is almost equivalent to giving up a life. Such a person is not worthy of being friends, so which one is worth it? A fair-weather friend will definitely not have the courage.

However, Gu Siwei didn't expect others to sacrifice their lives for him. If you think about this, you can only be blind. Gu Siwei just likes people like this. Being friends with such people doesn't have to worry too much about being stabbed in the back.

There was a period of silence. Gu Siwei didn't know how to comfort Zhao Fangming. Zhao Fangming was not interested in saying anything, and finally they went to bed quickly.

Just work, work, work all day long.

At the end of the third day, it was obvious that both Sicui and Hu Yanqiu couldn't bear it any longer. Their hands holding the bowls were shaking a little when they were eating.

Gu Siwei should have been shaking, but he had space to rest. Sleeping there for a while was equivalent to two or three days of rest, and he could recover even if he was tired.

"Why don't you go back tomorrow? There's no more work in the fields anyway," Gu Siwei advised.

Hu Yanqiu raised his head and glanced at Gu Siwei: "You look down on me? You can't survive without me?"

"What are you saying? I'm not looking down on you. Not only that, I admire you. To be honest, I admire you sincerely and from the bottom of my heart."

Gu Siwei said seriously.

He was telling the truth. He had never seen a woman working so hard. Not counting the women in the village. Although the women in the village also worked, they were all skilled at it. Even though Gu Siwei knew that she never knew how to do it, I'll do it when I get there. But Hu Yanqiu is different from them.

As for what the difference is, you can figure it out for yourself.

Hu Yanqiu thought that Gu Siwei was mocking her and saying something sarcastic, but after staring at Gu Siwei for a while, he felt that it was not the case and then said: "I won't leave until I finish my work."

"Then you've got your work cut out for you. After the rice is harvested here, the sweet potatoes will be harvested over there. When the sweet potatoes are harvested, it will be time to harvest the potatoes in the fields in the next half month. I think you'd better just stay here. Come here," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

The sweet potatoes cooked together with the rice are the sweet potatoes from Gu Siwei's home field. As for the potatoes, they are cooked later in the evening. The sweet potatoes are a bit early. This is why Gu Siwei's hands shook.

Generally, after planting potatoes, harvesting time should be in October. Gu Siwei first picked the potatoes at the wrong time, and second, the water in the space was a little too much, so the sweet potatoes had to be harvested at this time.

But when to close is not a problem for Gu Siwei. The villagers are no longer surprised by Gu Siwei's ruthless behavior.

Just when he was about to say something, Gu Siwei heard You Ni start barking. He looked in the direction You Ni was looking at and saw a figure emerging.

Just as I was thinking about who it was, I suddenly heard the person shouting loudly: "You idiot, I can't even recognize you?"

The person who spoke was actually Liu Fulin.

Gu Siwei felt strange and asked: "Uncle, do you have something here?"

The old man left just after dark, why did he come back less than an hour later?

"I suddenly thought of something to discuss."

"Why can't we discuss it tomorrow? Why did you come here specially?" Gu Siwei was a little strange, thinking that the old man wanted to say something to him.

Liu Fulin said: "Firstly, there will be a lot of people tomorrow, but I just remembered this and stood in front of the pier and tried to shout. Who knew that Caohua and Diangang were so generous today that they brought me over directly?" .

"That's good." Gu Siwei laughed and waited for him to say more.

Unexpectedly, Liu Fulin seemed to have no intention of talking to Gu Siwei, and turned his face to Hu Yanqiu.

"That Xiao Hu, I want to ask you something!"

"Are you looking for something from me?" Hu Yanqiu was a little confused now.

Liu Fulin nodded: "Well, let me tell you something."

Gu Siwei was also a little confused because he didn't know what Liu Fulin could do with Hu Yanqiu.

Hu Yanqiu said: "You tell me."

"You have many connections in the factory. Can you help me ask where I can buy bicycles, sewing machines, radios and watches?"

hiss!

Sicui took a breath after hearing this: "Grandpa Fulin, have you made a fortune?"

"I think so!" Gu Siwei agreed with his sister.

Hu Yanqiu was stunned. When he came to his senses, he said with a grimace: "Uncle Fulin, you think too highly of me. How can I get these things, especially watches?"

The four things Liu Fulin mentioned are now called three turns and one ring. They can only be purchased by people with a rich family. If you have these four things, it proves that your family's life is at least better than that of 70% to 80% of Chinese families. It is real. Successful people.

Liu Fulin didn't look like someone who could afford such a thing.
