Chapter 17 Life is too troublesome
Author: Aldehyde
I felt that I had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, and the monkeys did not show much resistance after getting walnuts. So Gu Siwei felt very satisfied with this walnut planting activity. It was a victorious activity, a unity activity, and a successful activity.
But no matter how successful it is, you have to go home.
With walnut base, Gu Siwei was not going to bring anything else back, so she just brought a bag of walnuts back to the village.
As for Liu Fulin's words before, Gu Siwei gave the canteen a walnut of about ten kilograms.
Next is the key point. Those who are helpful to me, such as the Yang Chuanwu family and the Guo Xiangping family, all gave five or six kilograms, while the Liu Fulin family, Gu Siwei gave me about seven or eight kilograms.
The last one I gave was Liu Fulin's house, mainly because Liu Fulin's house is relatively close. Of course, it was not so cruel in broad daylight. I took advantage of the night to deliver it from house to house, and there was room for cover. In addition, everyone lighted kerosene lamps, and no one paid attention to these things even if the darkness was in full swing.
Carrying a small bag, he came to the door of Liu Fulin's small yard.
The door was open, and Gu Siwei stood at the door and reached out to pat the door: "Is Dad Liu at home?"
"My grandfather is at home."
Liu Dezhu immediately ran out when he heard the movement.
Seeing Liu Dezhu's shadow, Gu Siwei didn't know why, but couldn't see his face clearly and seemed to think that this silly boy still thought he was a spy sent by Gumin.
Liu Fulin also came out at this time.
"Four dimensions are here, come in the house."
Gu Siwei was not polite either and followed him into the house with a small bag.
"What?"
Seeing Gu Siwei holding a bag in his hand, Liu Fulin asked.
Gu Siwei put the bag in his hand on the small table in the main hall, opened the mouth of the bag and said, "I picked up some walnuts from the mountains and came to give you some."
"Can you pick up walnuts at this time?" Liu Fulin was a little curious.
The oil lamp was too dark and I couldn't see clearly what the walnuts in my pocket looked like. Liu Fulin couldn't help but put his hand into the bag and grabbed them first. He felt that the walnuts were as big as the size, and finally he grabbed four or five of them.
"This is still oil walnuts."
After reading it, Liu Fulin was overjoyed.
When Gu Siwei heard this, he opened his mouth and asked, "Walnuts are still divided into oil and dry?"
Liu Fulin smiled and said, "What is not dried is just ordinary walnuts and oily walnuts. You are oily walnuts, which have higher oil content than ordinary walnuts and can be squeezed."
"Where to squeeze it?"
As soon as he asked this, he asked the key point. Gu Siwei had some walnuts, but where did he press oil?
Liu Fulin said: "Go to the town to squeeze."
"In the town?" Gu Siwei asked.
Liu Fulin nodded and said, "You can only squeeze it from the town. There was an old oil mill in the village before, but it has been gone now. When you go to the town, you have to prepare some money. Of course, if you don't want walnut residue, you don't have to pay. However, walnut residue is a good thing, so it's more cost-effective to give money..."
When Liu Fulin heard that he had gone to the town to squeeze oil.
How fresh it is. Nowadays, people eat oil. Apart from lard, they are willing to buy anything else. They are all taken to the town to squeeze rapeseed and peanuts from their own plants.
Most of them are rapeseed oil and peanut oil. The cost of other oil crops is a bit high, and ordinary people really can't bear to pay this money.
"When will you go to the town? Take me there and I will squeeze some oil along the way," said Gu Siwei.
Liu Fulin thought for a while and said, "Let's see, the day after tomorrow, if there is nothing big about it, let's send a letter of introduction to the town."
Seeing these seven or eight kilograms of walnuts, Liu Fulin wanted to go to the town to squeeze them into oil.
After decades, who would squeeze oil alone for seven or eight kilograms of walnuts? But now the conditions are here. He wants to raise up dozens of kilograms before going, but is this possible?
No, no at all!
Liu Fulin estimated that these seven or eight kilograms of walnuts can produce about one and a half pounds of oil. With these oils, life will be slightly better in the future.
"Is this going to prove it?" Gu Siwei was a little puzzled.
Liu Fulin said: "If you go to the town to play, you don't need to have something from the village to squeeze oil."
Nowadays, the oil pressing workshops in the town are all state-owned. Although there are only three or four machines and a few people, these people are all holding iron rice bowls, and they are several levels higher than the lives of farmers.
People are working as workers. Although they serve farmers, no one is offering any services now.
Even if you have something from the village, people may still cause trouble for you. Some are bad-minded and can make farmers who come to squeeze oil run four or five times back and forth.
So, in Liu Fulin's words, if you want to squeeze oil well, you have to be a human being.
Gu Siwei would not understand how to be a human being. How can he not know this little thing after all?
At this moment, Gu Siwei felt that many things are very troublesome now, and she didn't understand why she would make these things at this time. She needed food coupons, and had oil coupons to eat, and you also had to have meat coupons to eat a piece of pork.
Moreover, pork is all pork tickets, mutton has mutton, beef and beef tickets. In short, you can’t do anything without a single ticket. Even if you have this thing, you can’t buy any serious things just by relying on it.
"Then let me know when you want to go," said Gu Siwei.
Liu Fulin said: "The day after tomorrow, I will go to the village to send a letter tomorrow. Let's leave at 5:30 the morning after tomorrow."
"So early?"
Gu Siwei was a little surprised. At half past five, it was not dawn yet.
"I'm leaving late and can't get back?" Gu Siwei thought for a while and asked.
Liu Fulin was surprised to hear this and said, "No, no matter how you go, it will take a day. When you squeeze the oil the morning after tomorrow, you will go back. When you get home, it will be past two o'clock at night."
Gu Siwei instantly petrified.
He always heard people in the village say that going to the town takes some effort. He thought that at most it would be two or three hours to shake his legs. Who would have thought that a little bit of road would have to walk for a day.
"It's going to be so far to get to the town?" Gu Siwei couldn't help asking.
Liu Fulin said: "It takes at least two days to go back and forth, and it has to be something like us who often walk. It is hard to say whether you can hold on. Usually, it is the first time I come in from outside. I have to take the road one day to take it all day."
“…”.
Gu Siwei suddenly missed her unfinished house even more decades later, and began to miss the bus. Even if there was nothing, it would be better to have a three-bouncer.
But now this is the case. No matter how much I think about it, the road I should take will not be less than one meter.
After chatting with Mr. Liu Fulin for a while, Gu Siwei went home.
When he got into the house, he lit a kerosene lamp, and with the light as big as a bean, Gu Siwei began to think carefully about what he is doing now.
He has found the land to be reclaimed now. He is still confused about what he needs next. Oh, the most urgent thing is the seeds.
People have a lot of seeds in the village, and they may not be enough for their own family. Wherever they come from, they will give them all the extras. Gu Siwei knows this without asking.
So Gu Siwei has to find a way to deal with seeds.
Gu Siwei knew that he had to find a way, but for a while, he could have any solutions.
Then I thought about it, if you have seeds, you still have to have animals. If you have plows or crawlers, you have to use animals. You can't let Gu Siwei water in the space one by one.
"Oh, my brain is almost blown up."
Gu Siwei thought that his head hurt, so he simply prepared to blow up the light, go back to the space and lie down for a while, or go to bed directly.
When it gets dark at this time, there is almost nothing to do.
When I watched old movies in the past, when it was dark, there were still old people using kerosene lamps to repair the kerosene lamps. But when I came to Zhuangzi, Gu Siwei realized that when it was dark, almost no old people were willing to light kerosene lamps for needlework. How much kerosene would have to be burned, and now kerosene needs to be bought.
Just as I was about to blow up the light, I suddenly saw a shadow next to the table.
Turning his head and looking, Gu Siwei found a black rat standing in the light.
Gu Siwei looked at the black mouse, and the black mouse also looked at Gu Siwei. Each person and the mouse looked at each other, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"I'll go, mouse, what are you doing in my house?"
Gu Siwei was a little strange. Gu Siwei's things were placed in the space, so there was nothing to drag for the mouse.
And it seems that the mouse is not very healthy, anyway, it is not fat. Not a few decades later, the mouse that Gu Siwei saw in the community sewer was fat. The mouse could be as big as a kitten.
The rat in front of me was not as good as four ounces. Although it was quite arrogant, it had no flesh on its body.
The mouse was not afraid of people at all. He looked at Gu Siwei and began to rub his hands.
"It's too much"
Gu Siwei said to the mouse.
But the mouse obviously didn't care about Gu Siwei's feelings and continued to rub his hands under the light.
Gu Siwei's little temper was not provoked by a mouse. With a thought, the mouse was sent into the space. When he threw it out again, the mouse was tied up.
Squeak squeak!
The mouse was anxious.
Gu Siwei wanted to reach out to grab the mouse, but before he could touch the mouse, he shrank his hand back.
"Does there any plague on you?"
Gu Siwei asked the mouse carefully.
Squeak squeak!
"Is there any... Forget it, I won't ask you anymore."
Gu Siwei found a bamboo clip here. This thing is a lot of in the farm and it is simple to make. It is just a bamboo slice with fire and it is fried. In this way, a clip will be ready.
After picking up the mouse, Gu Siwei came directly outside, and at the place where the light could be shone at the door, he threw the mouse to the ground.
The mouse squeaked a few times, but after he fell two times, the mouse burped. Gu Siwei threw the mouse directly into the door, and he didn't know how far he threw it out. Then he returned to the house, closed the main room door and went to bed.
