Chapter 3 Gujia Village
Gu Sisi didn't want to listen to his grandmother's harsh scolding anymore, so he took the small bamboo cage made by his grandfather and walked briskly to the mountain pass behind the village to hunt pigweed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The day in July is very hot, the willow trees by the Qinghe River are swaying with the wind, full of green, a large piece of bamboo stands in the mountains, knowing the sound, the tree is full of some unknown small flowers, the faint fragrance of flowers and plants blown by the wind, take a deep breath, it is really comfortable.
The village where Gu Sisi's house is located is called Gujia Village, backed by Qiaoma Mountain, and the Qing River flows in front of the village. In the center of the village is a tall ginkgo tree that is said to be hundreds of years old.
In the summer, the adults in the village will enjoy the shade and gossip under the tree, and the children will gather together to play and play under the tree, and they will also join hands to measure whether the tree has become thicker this year.
Gu Sisi likes the ginkgo tree in autumn the most, from time to time to look up at the tree full of gold, a gust of autumn wind blowing, will bring the golden leaves of the ground, and if you are lucky, you can also pick up a lot of ginkgo fruit.
Gujia Village has two surnames, the ancient surname and the wooden surname, because the most ancient surnames in the village are called Gujia Village. People of the older generation say that the earliest helmsman of the two ancestors of the Gumu family was a sworn brother of the opposite sex, who came here in the early years because of the war and famine.
At that time, there were only a few families here, and the two brothers were warm-hearted, and they would help anyone with something, and the two brothers were diligent and far-sighted, so they took root here in order not to flee and live without a fixed place in the future, and slowly expanded the ethnic group to form the current village.
Gu Sisi's grandfather and ancestors are still very rich for two generations, and the courtyard of the family is very large, facing south in the north, a typical northern dwelling.
When Gu Sisi was a child, he often heard his grandfather tell him that there used to be a tall and gorgeous courtyard gate at home, and there were two stone lions in front of the door, the steps were very high, and there was a shadow wall built in the courtyard gate, which was carved with a beautiful pattern of happiness and longevity.
On both sides of the gate are the ear room and the guest room, through a hanging flower door to the main courtyard, the main courtyard has the hall, the living room and the small study room of the elders and the family, the main courtyard passes through an arch to the wing room, the wing room is for the junior family to live, in the back yard is the kitchen, the carriage room, the firewood room, the utility room and the latrine.
The tall courtyard wall encloses the entire courtyard in front and back, the corridors between the courtyards are connected, some flowers and trees are planted in the courtyard, and a small door is left in the backyard to facilitate the entry and exit of horse-drawn carriages and purchase goods.
It's just that the prosperity of the past seems to be fleeting, and grandpa can only miss his childhood residence in his memory. In that turbulent era, the courtyard of the family was slowly reduced to the current front, middle and back courtyards, and the destroyed houses were demolished and rebuilt, but the main courtyard was preserved as much as possible, and the current situation is one of the best in the village.
There is no tall courtyard gate, the current gate only follows the characteristics of the northern dwellings, the stone lion in front of the door is of course gone, and the shadow wall in the door is also a little damaged.
The main courtyard is now where grandparents live, and the middle courtyard is where Uncle Gu Sisi's family and the third uncle's house live, but most of the third uncles don't live at home, and the eldest aunt and sister-in-law also lived in the main courtyard before. Gu Sisi's parents were arranged by her grandmother in the sand room in the backyard. From the residence, it can be seen what the status of the Gu Sisi family is.
In addition to his own workshop, Grandpa Gu Sisi's family is said to have many properties in other places. As the old saying goes, "you can't be rich for three generations", when it came to Gu Sisi's grandfather's generation, his father gave birth to him, the old man went early, and his mother also remarried to a brother of the same clan, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and the relationship was not very close.
There are three brothers of the same clan in Grandpa Gu Sisi's own family, and the three of them have a lot of eyes and also like to take advantage, especially like to come to Grandpa Gu Sisi's house to play the autumn breeze, but Grandma Gu Sisi is generous to outsiders, and if there is something good, he will send them to them, causing them to be more unscrupulous.
The Mu family is also a big family, and the ancestors have reached this generation, with a total of ten brothers and sisters, and their relationship is better than that of the Gu family. The brothers and sisters help each other and get along very well.
Over the years, the momentum of the Mu family has been far higher than that of the Gu family, and even the village chief is a member of the Mu family. But this is also expected, who let the Mu family develop together.
The Gu family only has envy, some of them are not of good quality, and they don't say bad things about the Mu family in private, but this can't stop the fact that the Mu family is indeed better off than the Gu family.
There are still a few surnames in Gujia Village, some of whom are familiar with the people in the village, and some of whom do not deal with each other very much.
For example, a family surnamed Cui living on the edge of the mountain at the end of the village is very mysterious, the yard is not big but there is everything, and it is also very good in the village, but the Cui family does not come out much, and someone regularly sends daily necessities to his house every week.
Gu Sisi had caught it on the side of the mountain with his friends before, and he had only seen it once from afar. At this time, Gu Sisi didn't know that doing it again gave her a great connection with the Cui family, who had never met before.
Gu Sisi is not very familiar with the other households, but he only knows that they are all fleeing from the famine.
