Chapter 346: To Be On The Beam Or Not To Be On The Beam
Back from the village, Gu Siwei devoted himself to the big project of building a house. He said he was involved, but in fact he was just getting in the way. A group of old men were doing things in an orderly manner. After Gu Siwei came, not only did he not help,
I'm so busy that I'm really holding others back.
After being kicked out, Gu Siwei became more honest and honestly prepared with his sister for the upcoming Shangdaliang event.
Putting up beams on a house was a big deal, and the folks in the village were looking forward to taking this opportunity to have some fun, so Gu Siwei fulfilled everyone's wish.
Logically speaking, there should be a banquet, but considering the income level of the villagers and the impact, Gu Siwei had to omit this step.
If they hold a banquet at the Liang Liang, wouldn't it be grander than Gu Siwei's wedding? Gu Siwei and his wife are fine, but they are worried that some people will gossip behind their backs.
In fact, it's not that he's afraid. Lao Gu's temperament is that he's afraid of anyone. He just doesn't want to cause trouble.
In order to get to Daliang, Gu Siwei went into the mountains twice. When he came out, he naturally brought some specialties from the mountains, such as wild boars, wild sheep from the mountains, etc., not to entertain guests, but to
At that time, everyone will gather together and have a lively meal.
When I get home, I divide the things, pickle what needs to be marinated, and store what needs to be stored. Waiting for everything to be ready and friends to come, the shelves are set up and the beams are put up.
Everything was ready, but the weather seemed to be a little uninterested. It started to snow and wind, and when I looked up at the sky, it seemed that I wouldn't be able to come out in three to five days.
"Where else is it raining?"
Gu Siwei came out of the house and saw Sicui and his brother-in-law standing at the door, looking at the small snowflakes outside the window, so he said something.
Sicui said: "It hasn't stopped yet. Brother, will the main beam of our house be put up tomorrow?"
Gu Siwei was also asking this question. I couldn't tell, the light snow didn't seem to affect it. I guess, the weather wasn't good either.
Hu Yanqiu walked out at this time and happened to take in what he said. Seeing Gu Siwei's embarrassed look, she said: "You have to go to the village to ask about this matter. Ask Brother Chuanwu and the others. They said
If we want to go, we will go. If they say it will be a few days later, we will go a few days later."
Before Gu Siwei could answer, the door was pushed open, and a cold wind blew in instantly, making Gu Siwei shiver.
"Close the door, close the door! I finally saved up some heat but you let it go."
The person who came in was Li Fanghai. Although the old man was very old, he was still very energetic in his work. It made people think that although he was old, his personality and appearance were still that of those in his early twenties, full of energy.
Li Fanghai turned around and closed the door, then wiped off the hat on his head: "It's still warm in your room, but not in our room."
Gu Siwei almost gave him a big roll of his eyes after hearing this: "Who told you to be reluctant to part with firewood? Burning a few firewood will make you stingy. You are all too stingy."
Gu Siwei's house does not have air conditioning, and it is impossible to have any electric heating. Nowadays, not everyone in the county has electricity, let alone the countryside. If there is no electricity, you can only rely on the old method to keep warm.
As someone who came here decades later, and who also bought a house, Gu Siwei has done a lot of research on heating methods, such as the fireplace commonly used by foreigners, which was called a fireplace when Gu Siwei came here.
It's booming, not only prefabricated but also has a specialized design and installation company.
As a technical person, how could Gu Siwei let people take this money out of his pocket, so he also researched a domestic wood-burning fireplace that he liked.
In this case, do you think Gu Siwei’s house can still freeze in winter?
Definitely not!
So it's snowing heavily outside, and Gu Siwei only needs to wear a thin sweater inside the house. People like Sicui and Hu Yanping, who are young and hot-tempered, only need a coat.
The main house has it, but how could there not be a side room? Gu Siwei couldn't save Xu Congwen and his stupid apprentice Laozi. Therefore, according to Gu Siwei's design, all the houses have fireplaces of different sizes.
Of course there are a few old men in their houses, but the old men may be used to saving money, but they are reluctant to add more firewood. Adding a handful of firewood seems to cost them their lives.
As an old man, I can't understand why these old men can't bear to make firewood for free, just a little effort.
Forget it, just don’t say anything that doesn’t make sense.
"Chopping firewood doesn't require any effort?" Li Fanghai's eyes widened.
"Niuzi!"
Gu Siwei gave him a thumbs up: "That's good, since you don't have a fever anyway, it's not me who's cold!"
"Don't worry about our affairs. I'm here to ask if the beam can be climbed tomorrow?" Li Fanghai asked.
Gu Siwei said: "I am also worried, and I am going to go to the village to ask questions."
"What's the point of asking? According to me, it will snow tomorrow and it won't be a knife falling from the sky. Just do whatever you want. Once the beams are put up tomorrow, the grass will be spread like this the day after tomorrow, and you can move in the day after tomorrow...
..." Li Fanghai said.
"Look, you're in a hurry. What's wrong with staying for two more days?" Gu Siwei asked with a smile.
Li Fanghai: “It’s not what’s wrong, it’s just that it’s inconvenient for everyone to live together.”
"Look at how foreign you are. You are still picky under the current conditions. When the spring comes, I will drive you into a pig pen and squat in it," Gu Siwei said jokingly.
Li Fanghai didn't care about this. He opened his mouth and said, "Boy (heavy voice), if you dare to do this, do you believe that we old ones will dig up your ancestral graves?"
"That's good, you can help me find it first." Gu Siwei didn't show any weakness.
Hu Yanqiu was speechless and opened his mouth: "Okay, okay, Uncle Li, let Siwei go to the village and ask, otherwise there will be a bunch of children eagerly waiting to grab candies and red steamed buns. I don't know how sad it will be then."
.
"Well, that's what it says. Let him ask quickly, and we'll get ready too." After Li Fanghai finished speaking, he left without saying anything. He put on his hat, opened the door, and left again in a hurry.
"This old man!"
Gu Siwei pointed at Li Fanghai's back and said with a smile.
Hu Yanqiu laughed and said: "How great, Uncle Li is getting better and better."
"Look, one by one they will be able to climb the tree and mingle with the monkeys like Pony," Gu Siwei said jokingly.
It turned out that when I came here, none of them were sick, but their mental state was always bad, but now everyone is in good spirits.
After putting on her clothes and grabbing her outer coat, Gu Siwei opened the door and walked into the light snow.
Before I even got out of the porch, I saw Da Mao staggering home.
"You piece of shit, I hibernate when I'm a bear and don't even eat a bite. You eat three times a day, and you scold me if you miss one!"
Gu Siwei pointed at Da Mao and cursed with a smile.
Da Mao rolled his little eyes and looked at Gu Siwei. Perhaps he understood that what this man said was not good, so he turned his head and walked towards the house where the old men lived.
"If you say a few words and I'm ashamed of myself, I'll have to stew your two bear paws one day!"
Gu Siwei smiled and walked forward and lightly kicked Da Mao's fat ass twice.
When these two feet go up, it is like kicking directly on the pile of meat. Look at Da Mao's fat ass and the lower half of his waist, and there are actually ripples of flesh. You will know how fat Da Mao is.
How strong.
I raised so much fat just for it to survive the winter, but who knew that this guy would never sleep, and now he goes out for a walk all day long, and sometimes he is not home for a day or two, and he doesn't know what he is busy with outside.
After talking about Da Mao, Gu Siwei came to the cliff mouth.
Xiao Ma and the others were as diligent as ever. When they saw Gu Siwei coming, they immediately squeaked and put the hanging ladder for Gu Siwei. Comparing the two, Gu Siwei immediately praised Xiao Ma and other monkeys. They all praised him.
Smiling brightly.
Of course, Gu Siwei was also an emperor and had no shortage of hungry soldiers. Seeing that there was no one around, he took out some fruits from the space and gave them to each monkey as a reward for their obedience.
After going down the cliff to the boat, he untied the cable and Gu Siwei let the boat go.
When we arrived at Liu Guo's dock, we happened to meet Liu Dezhu and his wife who were about to go out.
Gu Siwei greeted Liu Dezhu as if nothing was wrong: "Dezhu, come out."
Liu Dezhu was a little embarrassed.
His daughter-in-law Zhou Lanbing seemed to feel nothing at all. She smiled and replied to Gu Siwei: "Brother Siwei, where are you going?"
"Go to the village and talk to Brother Chuanwu about something."
Gu Siwei said.
Zhou Lanbing said: "Let's go back to my parents' house. My eldest (father) found a job for Dezhu. He can earn seventeen yuan a month."
"Oh, that's a good thing. Now Dezhu has become a public servant."
Gu Siwei glanced at Liu Dezhu and said with a smile.
Liu Dezhu's face became even more embarrassed, but he didn't dare to snap his teeth at Zhou Lanbing, and he didn't even dare to face Gu Siwei. He knew Gu Siwei's temper very well, and there was no one he wouldn't dare to beat if he got angry.
people.
Liu Dezhu himself didn't care. He was afraid that Gu Siwei would beat up Zhou Lanbing as well.
Seeing her husband's submissive look, Zhou Lanbing felt unhappy. In her opinion, her husband was surrounded by incompetent people. If I found someone for her husband and got money, who would I be proud of when I came back? But look.
She felt angry when her husband looked like this.
Gu Siwei looked at Zhou Lanbing and thought to himself: As the old saying goes, you really know people but don't know their hearts. Who would have thought that a girl who looked pretty good would be like this now.
Gu Siwei didn't even think about it. This was equivalent to a blind marriage and a mute marriage. You couldn't recognize anything you met.
Say hello, how could Gu Siwei be interested in talking to such a person for a long time and saying unpleasant things: a toad squatting in a well - how big the sky has Zhou Lanbing seen!
Gu Siwei drove a boat to the village. As soon as he arrived, the boat of Zhou Lanbing and his wife also arrived. They rowed past Gu Siwei's boat and greeted people along the way.
