Chapter 24: Being old and not dying is a thief

"Brother Siwei, if you really send Sicui back, I have nothing to say, but if Sicui looks like this, he will really starve to death if he continues like this... Woo, woo! I'm sorry brother, I'm sorry sister-in-law...

…”.

This time it was no longer Guo Shenggen. He really remembered his cousin taking him to play when he was a child.

However, the idea only flickered, and the next step was to perform.

He had to take this opportunity to push Sicui out no matter what. For Guo Shenggen and his wife, if Sicui took one more bite, someone in their family would have to take one less bite.

Some people couldn't stand Guo Shenggen's performance. Gu Siwei didn't know the inside story, but sitting there, he wouldn't know what kind of life Sicui was living in his house.

Who can't stand it anymore?

Guo Xiangping.

The old man felt disgusted now and thought to himself: Comrade Xiao Gu doesn't know what you are. What kind of thing are you doing? What kind of brother and sister-in-law are you? What kind of good people are Sicui's parents?

?That is to say, her father is dead, otherwise it would be disgusting to think that he is even more senior than you.

"Brother Siwei, this child Sicui has been sensible since he was a child, and he also does a good job at home. Just take care of him," Guo Xiangping said.

Gu Siwei didn't quite believe that someone like Sicui could do any job. After a few decades, there were so many fairies in their thirties and forties who talked all day long and only knew how to eat.

, and some confidently accept sky-high betrothal gifts, but can’t even wash a dish. Such a little fairy can be said to be a car-loader.

If you tell him that a little girl like a bean sprout can do housework and does it well, it's nonsense in his eyes.

Yang Chuanwu saw everyone talking for a while, but Gu Siwei was not moved, so he used the dragging technique again.

"How about this, brother Siwei, Sicui will stay in your courtyard first, and when the new grain comes, we will talk about it. You are a capable person. You can just get something from the mountains at will, just slip a little through your fingers.

It’s time to raise four greens…”.

thump!

When Guo Shenggen saw it, he immediately knelt down in front of Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei had no intention of following this trick at all. He wanted to support someone when others bowed down to him. What the hell, even if he had a fortune, he couldn't stop people who wanted to recognize him as their father.

At this time, Liu Fulin, who was sitting in the corner, said: "Siwei, why don't Sicui stay at your house until the summer grain falls? If you still have this idea then, Sicui can follow me."

When Liu Fulin said this, everyone except Gu Siwei was stunned. Apparently this matter had not been mentioned before.

Liu Fulin seemed to be feeling very emotional at this time: "It's too embarrassing for us. We can't support the people in our village, and we are forced to raise a half-year-old child...".

The moment Liu Fulin said these words, everyone present fell silent, and those who wanted to shame felt their faces burning red.

Hearing what Liu Fulin said, Gu Siwei felt that it was hard for him to persist any longer. Besides, there were three people, one large, two small, and three kneeling in front of him.

"Uncle Fulin, you said this," Gu Siwei asked.

Liu Fulin puffed up his chest, nodded and said: "I said, wait until the summer grain comes down. If you are not used to carrying Sicui, then Sicui will come with me. If I have a bite to eat, Sicui will be full.

”.

"good!"

After saying that, Gu Siwei stood up directly and left the small courtyard of Yang Chuanwu's family without saying a word.

"Fu Lin, what are you... ugh!"

Some people wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

Everyone sitting here has selfish motives, otherwise they wouldn't have set up a trap to let an outsider raise Sicui. It's a fact that he can't support her. It's also a fact that Gu Siwei is capable, and Sicui can have enough to eat.

But doing this is somewhat unscrupulous.

Liu Fulin finally smiled and said no more words.

Guo Shenggen was smiling all over his face at the moment. When Gu Siwei walked out of the yard, he had already climbed up, holding his sons one by one with each hand, saying "I'm leaving" and walked away.

Guo Xiangping looked at his nephew's back and uttered: "This is how it will be in this life."

"Hey, hey! Go and call Xiao Gu back. I have something to discuss with him."

After hearing this, everyone came back to their senses, and immediately a young man led a trot and called Gu Siwei back.

Gu Siwei sat down again with a strange look on his face.

I don’t know why I am involved in the discussion.

Gu Siwei didn't know that the meat he had given him during this period was enough to put him in a position when discussing things in the village. The most direct and obvious thing for villagers in the mountains is to look at strength. If you have ability, you will have status, otherwise

Everything else is empty talk.

This is different from the outside world, where as long as you are older, you can be a man of your word even if you rely on seniority.

But here, in the mountains, it’s a little different, that is, you have to be more capable. If you don’t have any skills, wait for a natural disaster or something in one year, and the one who will starve to death is you, who is old and has no skills.

.

In the simple centralized system of Hades, anyone who can speak must be capable. Erhu Zizi, who can only speak, will never be allowed to participate in such a major event that affects everyone's life and death.

"Everyone is here, we have something to discuss carefully."

Everyone sat down, and Yang Chuanwu started his opening remarks.

"In the past, in a normal year, our village could produce about 400 kilograms of grain per acre per year. But now it is not as good as the previous year. Last year, we only produced less than 300 kilograms per acre.

If we continue like this, it won’t be long before we have to eat leaves this year.”

Yang Chuanwu said.

Gu Siwei really didn't know what the yield per mu was to qualify, so he didn't have a deep feeling about it.

But for others, it's a real pain. The whole family's faces are stained, and it's hard not to think about it.

Everyone knows the reason, because these people sitting here are both participants and victims.

Gu Siwei also knew the reason for this. It would be strange if he didn't know.

All the land belongs to everyone, and everyone gets work points for working every day. There must be standards for how you work and how many work points you can get.

Everyone follows the standards, but secretly they are fooling around. Wouldn't it be better to get work points and save effort this way?

It’s not that everyone doesn’t know that the food produced in this land is less, and everyone will starve. But human nature is like this, everyone can see the immediate, and there are very few who can see the long-term and have solutions.

As a result, the yield of the same land is getting less and less year by year. Some people are hungry and anxious and will go to the village to steal next year's seeds.

The grain production is less, but the population is more. What else can you do if you don't starve?

Fortunately, because of the mountainous area, the county gave some food subsidies, otherwise at least 20% to 30% of the children in Shimo Village would not live to be ten years old.

After figuring out what these people wanted to discuss, Gu Siwei wanted to watch the fun.

As someone who has been there, he doesn’t know anything else about Xiaogang Village, and he also knows that household responsibility system was introduced in the late 1970s. He doesn’t think that in the 1960s, these people could negotiate this kind of form.

The result comes.

After paying enough for the country and keeping enough for the collective, the rest is yours.

He had not experienced that era, but Gu Siwei had read books, and there were some interesting things in the textbooks. It was precisely because of this that Gu Siwei felt that this meeting was finally interesting.

"Xiangping, what do you think?"

After Yang Chuanwu finished speaking, everyone asked about Guo Xiangping. As someone who had spent time outside, everyone instinctively thought that Guo Xiangping would see further.

Guo Xiangping was silent at this moment. It’s not that he didn’t know how to alleviate this problem, but he knew he knew it, so he didn’t dare to say. What time is it now? There are not just one or two people who were killed for saying the wrong thing.

It is even less likely that Guo Xiangping has a gold medal to avoid death.

In fact, everyone has a desire in their hearts.

But whoever dares to say that out loud first may end up losing his head.

Dead silence!

Two minutes, three minutes, ten minutes passed, and still no one spoke. The people present were either smoking cigarettes, or crossing their hands and looking down at the ants on the ground, as if there was some naked beauty on the ground.

At first, Gu Siwei opened his eyes to watch the excitement, thinking that he was the only one who was smart, but as time passed, Gu Siwei finally understood.

These are all human beings!

Not all practical people are practical all the time. Now when big things happen, everyone has become shrewd.

Gu Siwei looked at everyone, dumbfounded in his heart. At this moment, he knew that he was not the only one who could think of allocating fields to households. These honest-looking guys in front of him all knew that the best way to increase production was to divide the fields.

Allocate it to each household, so that each household can devote a lot of effort to farming.

Everyone knows it, but everyone is pretending to be stupid, waiting for others to jump out first, and no one wants to be the first to eat the crab.

Gu Siwei looked at it and finally couldn't help but feel happy.

Hahaha!

When Gu Siwei was enjoying himself, everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Siwei, what do you have to say?"

Suddenly everyone's eyes fell on Gu Siwei.

How could Gu Siwei talk about this? He has no profit at all. If he provokes such a thing, even if he starves to death, Gu Siwei will not starve to death.

No one in this group wants to be the leader, so I'll starve you bunch of idiots to death first.

Gu Siwei was so happy to think so in his heart, but naturally he couldn't say it with his mouth.

He rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm so hungry. I'm so hungry that I want to laugh."

Everyone looked at Gu Siwei and couldn't figure out for a moment how hungry he had to be to make people laugh.

"No, no, I have to go back and eat some porridge."

Gu Siwei stood up as he spoke and walked out of the yard without waiting for anyone else's permission.

He didn't want to continue spending time here with a bunch of people pretending to be stupid.
