Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

"You go ahead, I'll wash the dishes."

After everyone had finished eating, Hu Yanqiu began to clear away the dishes.

Gu Siwei glanced at the two old men and found that they put away their bowls without letting Hu Yanqiu reach for them and said nothing.

How could Yu and Li not have such a boundary? Even if they didn't have it before, they have been educated enough these days. So after the two of them washed the dishes and took the dishes into the house, they went outside to wait for Gu. Four dimensions.

Gu Siwei took a tool, a very simple thing, which was two flat-headed iron sticks, about thirty or forty centimeters long.

After coming out, give each of them two iron rods.

Just like that, Gu Siwei led the two of them up the slope. After walking for almost five minutes, they saw a pile of wood, a big pile of wood.

"Are these all going to be stripped?"

Seeing this pile of wood, Old Man Li was surprised, because the amount of this pile of wood was quite large. It was almost enough to build ten houses, let alone one house.

Gu Siwei said: "What are you doing with it, and you can't use it? Just pick it up, don't make it too thick."

As he spoke, he came to the side of the wood, picked one, took out the chalk from his pocket, drew a mark on it, and said to the two of them.

"Just chop it with this thickness." Gu Siwei pointed at the wood. Maybe he felt that pointing was not enough, so he kicked it with his foot.

Old Man Yu opened his mouth and asked: "How many sticks do you want to peel off?"

Old Man Yu was asking about today's workload. He had to ask carefully. In the past, just because of his experience, he suffered a lot in this regard. Some young people are really bad, much worse than the enemies in the army.

Although Lao Yu thinks Gu Siwei looks good now, he has experienced a lot and will not trust people so easily.

"Just take it slow." Gu Siwei didn't think about it. He mainly wanted to find something for the two old men to do. In fact, it didn't matter whether he could peel off the tree bark or not.

Moreover, the bark of the tree is easy to peel off. These materials have been placed in his space for a long time, and the bark and trunk have long been separated. He only needs to use an iron rod to pull them off.

"Isn't it bad if there is no measurement standard?"

Old man Yu is very conceited, or else all intellectuals who have studied abroad are a little too conceited.

Gu Siwei didn't think too much, and he didn't need to think too much. The two old men went out to peel tree bark during the day, went back to eat at meal time, and slept honestly at night, then the world would be balanced.

"Five roots, five for each person," Gu Siwei said.

After saying that, he felt that the workload might be a bit small, so he added: "Send the peeled bark back and keep it for the fire."

Five sticks is not much wood. Of course, some branches need to be cleaned. In short, ordinary people can definitely finish it in one day.

After saying this, Gu Siwei left the two old men here and walked back with small steps while humming a tune with his hands behind his back.

Back in the room, Hu Yanqiu was watching Sicui write, not tutoring, but watching Sicui learn. She was also following along, learning whatever she didn't know.

Sicui was studying mathematics at this time. It was not very simple mathematics, but equations. Several equations of several variables were also new to Hu Yanqiu.

Although she had gone to school, the gap between what she was learning now and Gu Siwei, a high-school graduate a few decades later, was like the gap between a junior high school graduate and a doctoral student.

First of all, the current teaching force is insufficient. It is not like a few decades later. As long as you want to learn, you can get the classes of the top professors from the world's top universities online.

Otherwise, at this point, Gu Siwei would have become a high-end talent. He would be crushed by his knowledge and quantity.

As for why Gu Siwei didn't forget it, it's because he has been using this knowledge.

"You're back? Your work has been arranged for both of you?

Hu Yanqiu asked with a smile when he saw Gu Siwei back.

"Well, the arrangements are complete." Gu Siwei nodded.

Hu Yanqiu continued: "You two are old, you have to pay attention when arranging work, don't make them too busy. People of such an old age often have some diseases, don't let us have problems when the time comes. alright".

"I know, don't worry. If the work of peeling off tree bark is really tiring, then they shouldn't come here."

Seeing what Hu Yanqiu wanted to say, Gu Siwei continued: "I understand, but it won't work if we don't arrange some work for them. How can they be like wandering around in front of our eyes all day long?"

Hu Yanqiu laughed and said, "Only you are allowed to swim around, but others are not allowed?"

"Yes, I am the head of the family now, I have the final say," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Hu Yanqiu looked at Gu Siwei and said with a smile, "Rogue."

After Gu Siwei heard a lot, he said nothing more and turned around to enter the hut next to him.

"Take out your clothes and I'll wash them for you. Your whole body smells like sweat at the end of the day."

Seeing Gu Siwei leaving, Hu Yanqiu immediately remembered that he said he wanted to do laundry. Just now in the room, she smelled the smell on the clothes Gu Siwei took off yesterday, so she thought about washing them.

Gu Siwei stopped and thought for a moment: "All the clothes I wore are in the basket at the door."

According to his previous living habits, all the clothes Gu Siwei wore were put into a basket, so that when they got a basket, they were thrown into the washing machine together.

Although there is no washing machine now, this habit has still been retained, but I can't save a basket. There is no way. Who has so many clothes? No matter how rich Gu Siwei is, he can't buy a blue coat. About ten pieces.

So generally speaking, Gu Siwei will wash the clothes once every two or three days. Of course, sometimes Sicui will also wash them. How to wash them is to take a wooden stick and hammer them by the river. As for soap and so on Yes, the folks will not give it up, they all use natural soap locust.

Gu Siwei has never used this thing before, but now Gu Siwei still likes it, because at least it can remove stains, and the best thing is that it is pure natural.

"Take off the one you're wearing and see if there are sweat stains on the back. You don't mind it being dirty."

Hu Yanqiu could see at a glance that the coat Gu Siwei was wearing now had sweat stains on the back of his neck.

"How is that possible? This is a new one this morning."

Gu Siwei didn't believe it.

Hu Yanqiu directly grabbed Gu Siwei by the collar and took a look.

Gu Siwei actually saw sweat stains on his clothes. After thinking about it for a moment, he smiled and said, "Oh, I wore the wrong clothes in the morning."

As he spoke, Gu Siwei took off his gown, revealing his muscular upper body.

Although the two were already married, Hu Yanqiu was still a little uncomfortable seeing Gu Siwei shirtless in broad daylight. He lowered his head slightly, but quickly raised it again.

"Hurry up, go in and put on your clothes!"

Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei chuckled and entered the house. After searching, he saw the clothes he was supposed to change into in the basket to be washed, so he muttered: This matter was not done well.

After I finished changing my clothes and came out, I went into the nearby hut to get some things and then walked out.

Hu Yanqiu had already put on an apron and sat under the camphor tree with a wooden basin, pretending to be doing laundry.

"What are you doing again?"

Seeing Gu Siwei holding two cages in his hands, he asked.

Hu Yanqiu recognized the thing in Gu Siwei's hand. This thing was for catching fish, not big fish, but small fish or fish such as eels.

The cage was woven by Wei Mizi, and the workmanship was very rough. At first glance, you could tell that it was not made by a skilled weaver, that is, Zheng Youcai. Even Liu Dezhu's craftsmanship was better than this cage.

It is definitely not compiled by Gu Siwei, because the level of editing by Gu Siwei is really bad. Some people are just weird. They can learn other things as soon as they learn it, but they can't learn some things no matter what.

"Go catch some small fish"

Gu Siwei said.

After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu asked curiously: "Why do you always have trouble with fish today? You eat fish in the morning, why don't you still eat fish at noon?"

"You think you can catch everything you want, but it must not be for lunch today. There are too many things to eat at noon today. I don't want to eat fish," Gu Siwei said.

Gu Siwei didn't say, I'm going to catch small fish for you to make dried salted fish. He wanted to do it secretly and give his wife a little surprise.

Hu Yanqiu really didn't expect that Gu Siwei would take it seriously just by mentioning it casually.

"Okay, go ahead and pay attention to your safety," Hu Yanqiu reminded Gu Siwei.

Sicui felt a little strange and opened her mouth to ask: "Sister-in-law, my brother has always been very safe. Is there anything in the mountains that can hurt him?"

Sicui felt that Hu Yanqiu didn't know his brother's true ability because of his instructions, so he reminded him specifically.

Hu Yanqiu was amused by Sicui. He looked at the brother and sister and said, "You two are really brothers and sisters."

Sicui was very happy by these words.

Gu Siwei said something incomprehensible, then carried the cage and walked towards the edge of the cliff.

Although his words were a bit off, Gu Siwei still felt in his heart that it really felt like home now.

Well, that's good.

When we arrived at the edge of the cliff and were about to go down, we suddenly heard a sound coming from below.

"Hey, don't come down yet, I'm going up right now."

Gu Siwei turned around and saw that Uncle Liu Fulin had arrived and was almost climbing to the top of the cliff.

Gu Siwei could only go up, but he couldn't let the old man go down again.

Waiting for Liu Fulin to come up, Gu Siwei asked: "Uncle Fulin, what's the matter?"

"I'm not here to look for you, I'm here to look for the two people who came yesterday," Liu Fulin said with a smile.

Gu Siwei heard that he was not looking for him, so he went down the rope ladder directly.

"What are you going to do?"

Liu Fulin looked at Gu Siwei who was going down and asked casually.

"Go catch fish."

Liu Fulin muttered after hearing this: What's so delicious about fish?

At this time, the villagers had enough fish to eat. Think about the famine years before, what did the villagers eat? Can you not have a headache when you see fish now?

"Oh, Siwei, I forgot to tell you that the lumberyard to be built may be near our Sixth Group."

"Holy shit! Is it true or false?"

Gu Siwei was really not calm now.

"I heard from other people that the first place is Mount Naitou over there, but it's not surprising. The mountains over there are flat and the trees grow well. Cutting there saves time and effort..."

Nowadays, people have almost no environmental awareness, so Liu Fulin talks about it without any emotion.
