Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

The boat went down the river. Gu Siwei stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the two horses in the river, feeling that these two horses were really going to the sky.

Gu Siwei knew that horses could swim, and he also knew that horses could not swim for too long, but what he saw now directly broke his cognition.

Lizi and Dafa have been in the water for almost three or four minutes. Their heads are still stretched out above the water. Through the clear river water, you can see their little legs dangling in the water, just following them. It looks the same when running fast on the ground.

Xilulu!

The two guys were having a good time, snorting from time to time.

"What are you looking at?"

Hu Yanqiu stuck his head out from the tent, looked at Gu Siwei and asked.

"I'll be careful not to drown these two things when the time comes. Horses are hard to buy now," Gu Siwei said.

Hu Yanqiu replied: "Just keep your heart in your stomach. If you are drowned, they will not be drowned. They can float to Zhuangzi in one breath."

"oh"

Gu Siwei looked inside the tent.

Hu Yanqiu lowered his voice to prevent the two boys in the tent from hearing, and said with a smile: "I'm a little more honest now."

"Actually, there is no need. I was more naughty than them when I was a child." Gu Siwei also whispered: "Boys, it is better to be more honest. If you are too honest, you will suffer in society in the future. For example, if you are a boss, you are a bit too honest."

Hu Yanqiu said: "I don't care about the skin at all, but if the skin is too much, it is too dangerous. I will naturally take care of it. They are jumping on horses on such a high cliff. Isn't it two hundred and fifty? Who did you inherit it from? Could it be that you were a child?" so?"

Having said this, Hu Yanqiu glanced at his husband and waited for his return with a smile.

Gu Siwei immediately waved his hand: "How could I be like this? People say that my nephew looks more like my uncle. I guess he looks like Yanping, or he looks like my uncle. He has nothing to do with our family."

"You are so rich that you will find excuses," Hu Yanqiu said with a smile.

After he finished laughing, Hu Yanqiu himself said: "Don't tell me, these two naughty guys really look like Yan Ping."

"Look, what I said is right, right?" Gu Siwei also became happy.

After saying a few words, Hu Yanqiu came to Gu Siwei's side, and the couple gathered together and whispered, biting their ears.

The two little guys in the tent were sitting sideways. As for why they were sitting sideways, the reason was very simple. It hurt when they sat down. They had just been beaten up by their mother with branches. Now they still want to sit down. That's not true. Wishful thinking?

At this time, adults were willing to spank children. Everyone followed the principle that filial sons would emerge from the stick.

Of course, not many of them caught their children and beat them to death. They were all their own children, so it would be enough to have a good memory.

"Second brother" Zhong Yi grinned and moved to his brother's side.

Zhong Lin glared at his younger brother: "Go away, you traitor."

"Second brother, it was my uncle who betrayed us, why have I become a traitor?" Zhong Yi was a little dissatisfied.

"Neither you nor my uncle are good people." Zhong Lin touched his buttocks that had been pumped out several times and hissed.

Zhong Yi said: "Otherwise, how about we let the girl beat up my uncle?"

"Auntie, will you listen to me?" Zhong Lin glanced at his fifth brother.

Zhong Yi said: "It's definitely not possible to say it bluntly like this. We have to find an excuse."

"What excuse?" Zhong Lin perked up upon hearing this.

"I haven't thought of it yet" Zhong Yi simply said.

Zhong Lin didn't blame his younger brother at all. He started to think of bad ideas as soon as his eyes rolled.

Hu Yanping didn't know at this time that his two nephews were preparing to trick him. At this moment, he was not on the same boat as Gu Siwei and his wife. He was with a group of old men, and of course Gu Sicui. But while Sicui was reading a book, Hu Yanping took off his shoes and stretched his feet out of the boat to play in the water.

The weather is no longer cold now. Although it is not too hot, the water is a bit cool and you can feel a different kind of comfort when you dip your feet in it. Hu Yanping likes this feeling very much and will stretch his feet into the river whenever he has free time.

A few old men were sitting in the bow of the boat chatting, talking about things they had fought in the past. Hu Yanping listened with interest, because in the mouths of the old men, some names that he was familiar with would pop up from time to time.

There are few men who don't like history, and Hu Yanping is not immune to it. Listening to the old men telling stories is like seeing the history of that era.

The two boats were about ten meters apart, one behind the other, following the river all the way down. Unknowingly, they were out of the mouth of the gorge, and the whole sight suddenly became clearer.

Tsk!

When Gu Siwei saw the bare mountains not far away, he couldn't help but let out a cry of dissatisfaction.

Hu Yanqiu asked: "What's wrong?"

Gu Siwei said: "The mountain is bald."

Hu Yanqiu said: "Of course, if the tree is cut down, it will not become bald, but there are still some benefits."

Um?

Hearing what Hu Yanqiu said, Gu Siwei was a little confused and looked at his wife inquiringly.

Hu Yanqiu explained: "There is a small valley in the south. Several acres of land were washed out by the rain. Last month, Luan and Sun's family planted some peanuts there. I heard they are growing well."

"It's growing pretty well now, but I didn't think about it. In the future, all the soil from the mountain will be washed down. What will be on the mountain? There will be nothing but stones," Gu Siwei said.

Hu Yanqiu said: "Stones? Oh, you don't know yet. I forgot to tell you that a quarry is going to be built over there."

"What?"

Gu Siwei was shocked: "It's not over yet. Do we have to completely destroy this ecology?"

Hu Yanqiu said: "It's still four or five miles away from us. Why are you so anxious?"

"Four or five miles away, that's not that far. Isn't it just near the lumberyard?" Gu Siwei calculated the location and found that it was right next to the lumberyard.

"It's right next to the lumberyard. It's the original location of the lumberyard. I heard that some blue marble was found there. It's quite expensive. It seems to be all over the mountain there," Hu Yanqiu said.

"Blue marble? Is this thing even blue?" This is the first time Gu Siwei has heard of it.

Hu Yanqiu said: "Cloisonne blue, what is it if it's not blue?"

"I don't know either, but it seems like this thing is valuable, otherwise people wouldn't drive it," Gu Siwei said.

After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu couldn't help but laugh and said: "That's natural, otherwise they would be busy. Forget it, don't be angry, it's nothing you can do."

"Hey, that's right." Gu Siwei looked at the bare mountain and sighed again.

The boat anchored on the shore, and Gu Siwei called the chestnuts and big fats in the water to the shore. With the help of everyone, he quickly removed the two shelves in the cabin and the baskets with all the loquats inside. It was mounted on the backs of two horses.

Just as he was about to set off, he heard Guo Xiangping's voice.

"Siwei, are you going... to deliver fruit to my father-in-law?" Guo Xiangping came to the horse curiously. He first reached out and stroked Li Zi's neck, praised the horse, and touched it in the basket. Put a loquat in your mouth.

"The fruit is good, but the sourness is not enough," Guo Xiangping said.

"People think it's not sweet enough, but you don't think it's sour enough."

Li Fanghai, who was about to leave next to him, smiled at Guo Xiangping and said.

Guo Xiangping said: "Loquats have to be sour to taste good. If they are sweet, you might as well eat something else."

Gu Siwei smiled without saying anything, shouted at the horse, and prepared to leave.

"Where on earth are you sending these four big baskets of fruit?" Guo Xiangping remembered what he had just asked.

Gu Siwei said: "Send some to my friends at the factory, and some to the radar station."

"Send fruit to the little soldier?" Guo Xiangping asked.

Seeing Gu Siwei nodded, Guo Xiangping said: "Then you come with me."

"Um?"

Gu Siwei had some doubts.

Guo Xiangping said: "Let you follow me. I still have some persimmons at home. Although they are not many, I will bring them to the children over there."

Gu Siwei asked: "Do you still have persimmon cakes at this time?"

It's not unusual for Gu Siwei's family to have it, but it's unusual for Guo Xiangping's family to have it now.

Guo Xiangping said: "Our family had a lot of weddings last year, mainly because relatives gave a lot of gifts."

Guo Xiangping stretched out his hand to help Gu Siwei pull Dafa's cheek bridle, and talked to Gu Siwei while holding the horse.

"My relatives have given me a lot of gifts. Hey, over the past few decades, few relatives have given me a piece of cake. But things have gotten better in the past few years. From time to time, these little things can receive some... the same persimmon cakes I harvested last year." My wife collected almost thirty kilograms, and my granddaughter-in-law doesn’t let the children eat very much. We can eat as much as we can, and the ones they make are not as good as those in our village. The persimmons taste a little worse," Guo Xiangping said with emotion.

Now Zhuangzi has undergone some changes unknowingly. In the past, the villagers in Zhuangzi were more or less looked down upon by their relatives. For example, what Guo Xiangping mentioned now, you are obviously about to arrive at their home. The door is open, and when people come out of the yard, they turn around and lock the yard. When they see you, they don't mention entering the house to drink water.

This actually means he looks down on you and doesn't want you to get involved in his family. On the surface, I am polite to you, apologetic and so on, but when you think about it, you will know, what important things are there in the countryside, and you don't even have the time to wait for relatives to come into the house for a drink of water?

But things are different now. Both rice and wheat seeds are good here. In addition to these seeds, the machine shop in the village is also quite prosperous. These things combined make the villagers stand upright in front of their relatives for the first time. A little chest.

That's it, the persimmon cakes of Guo Xiangping's family are all left till now.

As they talked, they arrived at Guo Xiangping's home. Gu Siwei stayed at the gate of the courtyard while the old man went in to get the persimmon cakes.

Soon Guo Xiangping came out carrying a linen bag. It was not small, and it looked like it weighed more than ten kilograms.

Gu Siwei smiled and said to Guo Xiangping: "There are so many more?"

Guo Xiangping smiled and said: "I still have some left. You can take these with you."

Gu Siwei nodded, took the persimmon cake from the old man's hand, opened it and took a look.
