Chapter 40: Help
"Sicui, I want to ask you something, whose clothes are good in our village?" Gu Siwei remembered about the cloth.
Sicui didn't think about it when she heard it: "Of course it's Aunt Misuzu, her clothes are the best-looking, and the soles of her shoes are the most beautiful, and the needlework is not better than him, even the sixth grandmother praises it."
"I have a piece of cloth here, and I want to make cotton clothes for each of us for a year, but I don't know if it's good to trouble people," Gu Siwei said.
Looking for someone to make clothes, Gu Siwei has no way, because now whether it is in the town or in the factory store, there is no suitable ready-to-wear, the factory store is not nothing, but that thing is really too expensive, if you add adjectives, Gu Siwei can say that it is really expensive.
Can you imagine an ordinary dress that costs a worker's salary for a month, and the style is still the kind that is ugly and hanged.
"What's the trouble?"
As she was talking, Wu Meiling walked into the courtyard.
Sicui opened her mouth and said: "Aunt Miling, my brother said that he wants you to help us make a padded jacket, I'm afraid that you will be busy and have no time."
"Hey, what do I say, I have time, what can I do in the winter now, Brother Siwei, this matter is wrapped up in me, I just heard that you got a piece of cloth back, so I came over and asked if I could help, who knows that we also want to go together."
Wu Meiling's enthusiasm was really a bit unexpected by Gu Siwei, and it also made him truly understand the unpretentious and simple energy of people at this time.
"Then I'm sorry for you".
Gu Siwei picked up the cloth in his hand.
Wu Meiling took the cloth, opened it and looked at it, and said, "Wet?" ”
"If it weren't for the tide, people wouldn't have sold it so cheaply," Gu Siwei said about it.
Wu Meiling smiled: "Even if it is damp, you buy this cloth and take advantage of it, if you think the color is a little dirty, re-dye, this old coarse cloth is easy to color, such a large piece of cloth, you can make two bodies, if you make one set, Sicui can make two sets."
"That's it, I'll do it all by myself, Sicui, you can make two," Gu Siwei said.
Now Gu Siwei has a body on his body, Sicui is still in tatters, besides, gradually Gu Siwei has sorted things out, and if there is no shortage of food in the future, there will naturally be no shortage of clothes.
Now he understands that although everyone is not doing well now, there are still people who are doing well, such as the workers in the factory in the mountains, whose living standards are much better than ordinary people.
"Okay, you wait, I'll go home and get a ruler and come over and measure it for you."
Wu Meiling said and walked outside.
"Brother, I have enough to wear one set."
Sicui was very happy when she heard that she was making clothes for herself, but when she heard that she had to make two sets for herself, and Gu Siwei only had one set for herself, she began to think crankily again.
"Listen to me, and if you don't, don't be with me."
Gu Siwei was lazy to say anything to Sicui, he was now thinking about how to repay Wu Meiling's favor, and he didn't have to ask for favors to help make clothes.
What else is there to order, come to think of it, Gu Siwei thinks that it will be almost the same to give twenty or thirty catties of white noodles when the time comes, of course, this has to be given secretly, and it is estimated that Wu Meiling will not go around talking nonsense after receiving it.
After about ten minutes, Wu Meiling came over with a tape measure and smiled.
As soon as he entered the house, he motioned for Sicui to stand up and began to measure Sicui's size.
Gu Siwei asked at this time: "Sister-in-law Misuzu, who has cotton?" ”
"This is not there, where is there cotton left at home, it has long been sewn and mended for the child, are you going to make a jacket?"
"Well, of course it's a jacket," Gu Siwei said.
Wu Meiling thought for a while and said: "I see, don't make a jacket today, it's already seventy-nine, and it will be spring in a while, and you won't be able to wear it for a few days if you make a jacket, it's better to make a single coat, wait for the spring, and then I'll find you some cottonseeds or something to plant, and then think about making a jacket in winter."
You listen to your sister-in-law, other people's sisters-in-law don't have confidence, but your ability, when it comes to next winter, you will definitely be able to put together a few jackets."
Gu Siwei heard it and felt that what Wu Meiling said seemed to be right.
"It doesn't matter if I'm there, it's just that Sicui's clothes are too thin," Gu Siwei said.
Sicui heard this and immediately said: "Brother, I'm fine, I'm not cold at all."
Seeing that the transparent snot on this girl's face was about to fall down, and she said that she was not cold, Gu Siwei felt a little funny.
"Okay, don't interject when adults talk and children," Gu Siwei said.
After thinking for a while, Gu Siwei said: "That sister-in-law, you can give me Zhang Luo a little cotton seed now, I will prepare first, and I will prepare some more things to sell in the factory in the next two days, maybe I can exchange a few catties of cotton, and then you will make cotton clothes for Sicui."
Wu Meiling didn't think much about it, even if she wanted to break her head, she couldn't think of such an anti-heaven thing as Gu Siwei's space.
"Okay, we have it at home, but we can't give it all to you, we can only give you a little" Wu Meiling said.
Hearing that Wu Meiling's family has it, Gu Siwei said again: "Sister-in-law, do you have any rice seeds in your family, if you have one, give me a little."
Wu Meiling said: "There are really no rice seeds, and there are no rice in the village, because the land in our village cannot grow rice."
"Isn't there water, why can't you grow rice?"
The fields in the village are by the water, how can it be that rice can't be grown, Gu Siwei is a little strange.
Wu Meiling said: "How do I know this, anyway, the yield of rice planted in the village is too low, so it is suitable for planting potato, potatoes and other things, and the growth of wheat is average."
"Oh!"
There are no rice seeds, Gu Siwei feels that he should not be entangled here, just wait to get some when he goes to town.
Wu Meiling measured the size of Sicui, and gave Gu Siwei a good amount.
"Sister-in-law, I have to trouble you to take care of it these days, I still have to go into the mountains to get something to sell" Gu Siwei prepared to run away.
Wu Meiling said: "It's okay, you go, Sicui has me here, nothing big can happen."
Gu Siwei nodded, and then left some dry goods, mainly some fruits, of course, the kind of persimmons that are not very good are the most, not only enough for Sicui to eat, but also to take care of the children of Wu Meiling's family.
The arrangement was almost over, Gu Siwei took the axe he had just bought and prepared to go out.
After walking about ten meters out of the door, I heard Liu Fulin's voice behind me.
"Four-dimensional, four-dimensional, where are you going?"
Gu Siwei stopped his pace and turned back and said: "I'll go into the mountains, I'm going to get some more game, go to the factory to exchange some money to buy some cotton to make a cotton jacket, and then get some other ......."
"Don't go yet, come here, come here, there are still things to discuss in the village" Liu Fulin beckoned to Gu Siwei.
Gu Siwei held the axe and said with a smile: "If there is anything you decide, how old am I, I can't decide anything big."
To be honest, Gu Siwei doesn't want to care about things in the village, one is that when the people's hearts are not aligned, it is very easy to say that he takes the lead to get rich or something, but you really have to do it, especially when you start to do it when you are poor and white, that kind of hard work is really not something ordinary people can do.
Everyone thinks it's quite simple to listen to what is a rich leader or something, but it really lets you do it, dare to say that a hundred people can do a hundred wastes.
This kind of thing is really not something that ordinary people can do with the patience.
So Gu Siwei has no interest in being a leader in getting rich at all, and he doesn't have the heart to get involved in the village, he now thinks about waiting for a while, he will arrange it on the side of the Silver Pine Cliff, get rid of the oil bottle of Sicui, and move to the side of the Silver Pine Cliff to live his own small life.
"You have to go, the backbone of each family in the village has to be there, our village is like this, all major matters have to be discussed, and the minority obeys the majority," Liu Fulin said.
For these people in the sixth team, there must be those who disagree with Gu Siwei, not only that, but one must not be a family or two, but those who can see far and clearly know that Gu Siwei's strange feeling is a help to the village, not a resistance in the village.
At this time, if you don't tighten Gu Siwei and don't treat him as a corner, how can it be done.
Don't think that farmers are born with shallow eyelids, Yang Chuanwu and these people can't understand the times, but they definitely have a set of people.
To put it bluntly, Yang Chuanwu and these people are the people who take people's hearts to deceive the hearts of the four dimensions.
In fact, things in the world are like that, you can exchange your heart for other people's hearts, and other than that, no matter how many tricks you have, it's a fart.
Of course, if you have money, you may be fine, but Yang Chuanwu and these people have no money, and their pockets are three points cleaner than their faces, where did they get the money to win over Gu Siwei.
Besides, where can Gu Siwei be able to live with money.
This kung fu, Liu Fulin is about to come over to pull Gu Siwei, there is no way, Gu Siwei has to carry an axe and follow Liu Fulin.
It's still Yang Chuanwu's small courtyard, and it's still a bunch of old faces, sitting on a stool at random, clicking on the cigarette pouch, smoking from the cigarette, and the face is as heavy as the bottom of the pool.
Gu Siwei understands that this is definitely a matter of talking about the land, or the last time, everyone understands that if this land is still planted like a few years ago, it will definitely not work, although it is still hungry after dividing the land, but at least it is much better than now.
Guan Jian is that everyone is afraid now, and they are afraid of making trouble for themselves.
None of the others spoke, so Gu Siwei also pretended to be dumb and consumed with everyone.
So the whole yard was silent, so that the birds in the trees chirped, which was a bit annoying.
Gu Siwei looked carefully at the axe he was holding, as if there were flowers on the axe.
"Ahem!"
Yang Chuanwu coughed, everyone knew that the number one official of Team Six was about to speak.
