Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

After eating, today's affairs are officially over, and it will be a big scene next time we come.

Gu Siwei went with the matchmaker. It was impossible to say that he would stay in the Hu family after Xu Congwen left. Without this rule, Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu would not be able to see each other from now until the wedding day.

This is also the rule.

Although Gu Siwei is disdainful, he still abides by these things honestly. He must consider other people's thoughts at all times, and he cannot take it lightly just because he doesn't care.

Getting married now is not the future, you can do whatever you want. Getting married now is equivalent to two families becoming relatives. There are some things you should pay attention to.

Back home, Gu Siwei didn't even say hello to Qiao Yitong, and went all the way back to his home.

"Ouch!"

When I got home, the first thing I did was to lie down on the bed, lying on my back, humming so beautifully.

Sicui stood at the door curiously, stretching her head and looking at her brother lying on the bed.

"Brother, are you tired?" Sicui asked.

After saying that, he continued to ask: "Brother, are you thirsty? Do you want to make you a pot of tea?"

"Is there any tea at home?" Gu Siwei raised his head and looked at his sister.

What kind of tea does Gu Siwei drink at this age? In the past, people like Liu Fulin gave him tea, so they couldn't give him too much. In fact, the villagers didn't have much tea on hand.

It's up to you whether you want to buy it or not. The folks in Shimo Village are so poor that they can't afford to buy tea. All the tea leaves are from a few unknown old tea plants in the village.

Gu Siwei also planted a few plants on the hillside near his home, about seven or eight.

When I planted the seeds, I had a good idea of ​​what I would do when the tea grows up. When the time comes, I will sip the tea while sipping it. The fairy-like appearance I have dressed up will make people want to have their palms read. That kind of thing.

The results of it?

The trees have been planted, but making tea? I had long forgotten that it was in the dog’s belly.

Many things were like this. Gu Siwei had many good ideas in his mind, but as soon as he did them, it was like a dog trying to get in, catching this and leaving out that.

Sicui said: "I just made new tea, I don't know if it is good or not."

"Oh my God, you are really capable," Gu Siwei exclaimed.

This girl Sicui seems to be born to work, and she can hardly take any time off. When she does, she seems to feel uncomfortable all over. Except when she gets stuck when she is reading, at other times her eyes are full of work. Gu Siwei, the older brother, is much more diligent.

Sicui grinned happily when she heard what Gu Siwei said.

"You think I'm complimenting you, don't do so much work in the future, it will make me seem like a waste," Gu Siwei said to his sister with a smile.

Sicui looked unhappy when she heard this: "Brother is not a waste, everyone in the village is a waste, and I am also the most capable."

"Okay, stop flattering. Where's the tea? Let me try how you fried it," Gu Siwei said to Sicui.

After speaking, seeing Sicui turning around to make tea for herself, Gu Siwei rolled up from the bed and said, "Forget it, I'll go with you."

Following Sicui to the living room, Gu Siwei found that Sicui moved a stool and took an iron can from the shelf next to it. This was what Gu Siwei used to store food in. He used this thing to store biscuits bought in the store.

Generally speaking, the jars containing biscuits at this time are quite large, with a capacity of about four or five liters of mineral water bottles. Generally, these jars are not thrown away after eating, but are used by each family to store something.

However, this jar is a bit small and can hold less than a liter.

The reason why it is so small is because the biscuits it originally contained were very expensive, four or five times the price of ordinary biscuits. If it were packed in a box that contains ordinary biscuits, not many people would be able to afford it. One box of biscuits would kill a worker. A month's salary, that's not bad.

It was not easy to sell even if it was divided into small boxes. The store was worried that it would expire if it could not be sold, but Gu Siwei showed up and bought all the cans with meal tickets.

Two jars were given to Hu Yanqiu, and two jars were given to Sicui. Hu Yanqiu didn't eat much because she had a younger brother, so most of them went into Hu Yanping's mouth, and almost all of Sicui's food went into Sicui's stomach.

Sicui liked to eat it very much, so she kept the jar.

Now the jar has a new purpose and is used to hold tea leaves.

Seeing his sister taking the tea can, Gu Siwei took it and helped open it. When he looked into the can, he found that it was actually full.

"so much!"

Gu Siwei is a little strange.

Tea leaves are not tea. Tea leaves need to be shrunk to make tea. A jar of tea like this needs to be fried for at least a day or two. This is still a craft by the folks in the village. It only needs to be fried to dry up the water.

As for how long it would take for a master to actually make tea, Gu Siwei didn't know.

Sicui said happily: "Try it quickly, Grandpa Tao taught me."

"Has old man Tao Yisheng been here?" Gu Siwei asked after hearing Sicui mention Tao Yisheng.

It's nothing new for an old man to come to Gu Siwei. As long as there is a chance and he doesn't have to go too far, Tao Yisheng will definitely stay here for one or two days before returning to the village where he lives now.

Therefore, Gu Siwei's sentence was just a casual question and had no special meaning.

Sicui nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa Tao just left this morning, at dawn. Before leaving, he said he would come back in two days."

Gu Siwei laughed after hearing this and said: "I also said that I would find someone to deliver a message to him. When he arrives, he will come by himself, so there is no need to find anyone anymore."

Tao Yisheng must have notified Gu Siwei of his marriage. Gu Siwei did not go there in person mainly because the road was really not close. The old man did not live in a town but in the countryside, also in the mountains.

As the old saying goes, Wangshan is like a dead horse! Therefore, the direct distance between Gu Siwei and Tao Yisheng's Zhuangzi is not far, but if we take the rural road, it is not much closer than going to the factory.

After that, Gu Siwei boiled water to make tea.

Waiting for the tea to cool down a little, Gu Siwei took a small sip, put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly.

"How about it?"

Sicui was always beside him, half-lying on the small table, staring at his brother expectantly with his big eyes, apparently eager to get Gu Siwei's praise.

Gu Siwei hummed, and it was still a long-drawn sound. As soon as he heard it, he knew that he was extremely satisfied.

Although she didn't speak, Sicui already knew that her brother was very satisfied with the tea she made, and her eyes instantly turned into little crescents.

Gu Siwei was about to like it when he suddenly heard a voice.

"Siwei, Sicui, are you at home?"

Liu Dezhu's voice.

Gu Siwei and Sicui ran to the edge of the cliff, stretched their heads and looked down, and found Liu Dezhu at the bottom of the cliff.

As for why he couldn't come up, the reason is simple and you don't need to think about it carefully. Hua and Diang were in a good mood this morning and pulled his boat over.

However, Grass Flower and Cube were not in a good mood. The monkeys ignored him today and he couldn't come up. Otherwise, he would yell at people below at the top of his lungs.

"Put down the rope ladder. Can you do something serious every day?"

Gu Siwei said to the group of monkeys in the tree.

There was a smile on his face when he said it, and he was obviously not angry. The monkeys also knew it, but since Gu Siwei had spoken, they lowered the rope ladder.

If it is Sicui, then it is difficult for the monkey to do anything.

It can be seen that it is not only humans who are good at watching what others eat, monkeys are also good at it.

The rope ladder was put down, and Liu Dezhu came up along the rope ladder in no time.

"Is something wrong?"

Gu Siwei saw that this boy was sweating profusely, so he thought something was wrong with him.

Liu Dezhu grinned and took out a large cloth bag from the basket on his back. It was quite big, like a small box.

"what?"

"Book!" Liu Dezhu replied.

Gu Siwei heard this even more strangely, and quickly asked Liu Dezhu to put the things on the table.

Putting the things on the table, Liu Dezhu opened the cloth bun on it.

"It's really a book!"

The thing wrapped in the cloth bag is really a book, and it doesn't look like a modern book, it looks like an old thread-bound book.

After opening it and flipping through it, Gu Siwei found that it was about porcelain. He picked up another book and flipped through it, and found that it was about jade.

"This is?"

Gu Siwei looked at Liu Dezhu and wanted to ask how you got this thing.

There are now twelve volumes of the book, each volume has a certain weight, and contains some notes, bound with thick lines. To be clear, this is an antique appraisal note.

There are pictures on it, but everyone knows what the pictures in books looked like in the past. If you want to see something particularly detailed in the things drawn by the ancients, Gu Siwei doesn't have this ability anyway.

If it weren't for the clothes and hairstyles, the characters they painted, Gu Siwei, couldn't tell the difference between men and women, let alone flowers and grass.

"The old lady from sister-in-law Meiling's house asked someone to bring this here. She said you like to play with some gadgets. Let me show it to you. Don't give it back. She is not suitable to keep this thing anymore, so she transferred it... Turn...what are you turning?"

At this point, Liu Dezhu started scratching his head.

"Reward?"

Gu Siwei reminded.

Snapped! Liu Dezhu clapped his hands: "Yes, it is a transfer. What does transfer mean?"

"...Nothing, just give it to me." Gu Siwei looked at this silly boy and was a little speechless.

"Oh, it turns out I gave it to you. It's so easy to say I gave it to you. The old lady is so good at fooling people," Liu Dezhu muttered.

"Is there anything else?"

Liu Dezhu asked, "What else do you think should happen?"

If someone else said that, Gu Siwei would definitely have to think about it, but when it came out of Liu Dezhu's mouth, Gu Siwei knew that nothing was wrong.

"Oh, by the way, the old lady asked someone to tell you, congratulations on getting married. She can't come because she has something to do at home... Sister-in-law Meiling and Brother Shengshou won't come either," Liu Dezhu said.

Gu Siwei understood the matter. Something suddenly happened at the old lady's house, and she didn't know which relative passed away. Therefore, Guo Shengshou's family would not attend Gu Siwei's wedding.

Gu Siwei nodded and said he understood. Who could have predicted this? Moreover, Guo Shengshou, the son-in-law, was going to follow him. He must be closer by blood than his neighbor.
