Chapter 63: Old Craftsman

"Can you take me there?"

Sicui looked at Gu Siwei with wide eyes, with a look of anticipation on his face.

Gu Siwei thought for a while and smiled: "Forget it this time, wait for next time, wait for the next time Qiao Yitong comes by bicycle to take you there, now it's inconvenient to rely on two legs."

Si Cui was a little disappointed and hummed softly.

Gu Siwei looked at this girl, his heart softened for no reason, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Do you really want to go?" ”

"Well, I want to go and see an old daddy on the way," Si Cui said.

Daddy is a local dialect, which means grandfather.

Gu Siwei was a little puzzled, and asked casually, "What are you looking at?" ”

"I want to go and see the electric lights, look at the tall buildings you said, I heard that the tallest building is standing below and looking up, the hat on your head has to fall off, and I want to see what kind of water comes out when you twist it......"

Si Cui snapped his fingers as he spoke, as if he was talking about something terrible.

"I mean daddy, which daddy?" Gu Siwei was a little stunned.

Sicui said: "In the past, when my grandmother was there, she often took me to visit relatives, and every time she was at his house."

This girl remembers, Gu Siwei likes this character very much, and feels like herself.

"Didn't you go to the movies last time?" Gu Siwei remembered that this girl had been there.

Si Cui said: "When I arrived, it was night, and I came back overnight, and I didn't see anything except the movie."

"Okay then, but I have to go...... Forget it".

Gu Siwei originally wanted to borrow livestock or something, but when did he think about it, it was the time when the farm was busy, borrowing livestock? borrowed a ghost, unless it was Liu Fulin and Guo Shengshou.

Do you have both?

There's an egg.

There are a few animals in the village, and they belong to several families, and now it is spring ploughing, and the cattle have borrowed you, and the people use manpower to pull the plow.

"Then pack up, let's go," Gu Siwei said.

"Really!"

Sicui's eyes lit up.

Gu Siwei reached out and knocked her little brain melon seeds lovingly: "Of course it's true, otherwise, hurry up."

Sicui spread her feet and ran into the house, waiting for her to come out, and put on her large yellow army satchel: "Let's go."

"What did you bring?" asked Gu Siwei with a smile.

Sicui directly opened the bag and began to count: "The cakes I didn't finish eating, and the meat sauce that Sister Misuzu made...... Give him a little when he sees his father."

"Okay, okay, you can give him all the money in your bag when the time comes," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

"There must be enough for us to eat," Si Cui nodded.

Gu Siwei paused, went back to the house, went into the room and rummaged through, and finally got a bag of things, so the two closed the door and set off towards the factory.

With the little girl, the space is naturally unusable, so the two of them just rely on their legs.

But I don't feel that the road is long, because the little girl always has endless questions along the way, as well as endless wild vegetables and wild flowers, most of Gu Siwei knows what they are called, but the little girl can introduce them clearly.

Spring is also the day when all kinds of wild vegetables are on the table, but it is not enough to eat wild vegetables, no matter how you say it, you have to have a little rough matching, even if it is stick noodles, you have to have it, who can bear it just by eating wild vegetables.

After a few Zhuangzi, when it came to the third team, Sicui pulled Gu Siwei to the door of a family.

"Daddy Zheng, Daddy Zheng, I'm here to see you" Si Cui shouted loudly into the courtyard.

No one answered in the courtyard, but there was a response from the courtyard next to it.

The man looked up and found a little girl standing at the gate of the courtyard, and he was still a little afraid to recognize him after looking at it for a long time, but when he saw Gu Siwei, he guessed Sicui.

"Are you Sicui?"

The woman's eyes lit up a little: "Ah! The little girl is almost unrecognizable."

What did Sicui look like in the past, so to speak, the gap between her and asking for food is that she has a place to sleep at night, and there is no fixed residence for those who ask for food, and the previous Sicui is as thin as a bamboo pole, but now Sicui, nutrition has come up, and the original black skin is slowly a little ruddy.

Not to mention, Sicui is now a new dress, not to mention anything else, just the red plastic headband on her head makes the little girl of about the same age greedy.

"Aunt Liang!"

Si Cui said hello to the woman.

"Hey, you still know me, I hugged you when I was young," Aunt Liang said happily.

Gu Siwei smiled at Aunt Liang and said hello.

Aunt Liang didn't care either, and didn't think that Gu Siwei was rude.

There is no way, Aunt Liang is usually a little splashy, but when facing Gu Siwei, she has no courage.

There are two main reasons, one is that Gu Siwei is dressed too well, his whole body is neat, and he has the appearance of a 'cadre', and the other is that Gu Siwei's last beating has spread all over Shimo Village, and for 25, everyone's moral requirements are definitely not high.

Gu Siwei didn't know what Aunt Liang was thinking, even if he knew that he wouldn't care.

"Isn't Daddy Zheng at home?" Si Cui asked.

Aunt Liang Wu said: "Where is he at home at this time, he is busy in the field, if you look for him to go behind the mountain Liangzi in the south."

Aunt Liang pointed to the mountain and said.

"That's a pity, I can't see you this time, my brother and I are going to the factory," Si Cui said.

Aunt Liang said: "Then you wait for him to get better, it is estimated that he will come back too much, and it won't take long for him to get that little land."

Si Cui shook his head: "We have to walk at night tonight."

As he was talking, an old voice suddenly came: "Who, who's at my door?!" ”

Gu Siwei and Sicui turned their heads together, and saw an old man carrying a hoe on the crooked dirt road at the foot of the hillside, walking towards this side.

"Daddy Zheng, Daddy Zheng, I'm Sicui" Sicui jumped happily and kept waving his hands.

When Gu Siwei saw Sicui's appearance, he couldn't help but be curious, to be honest, Gu Siwei had never seen Sicui so enthusiastic about anyone.

Oh, except for Wu Meiling.

The old man seemed to be very happy to see Sicui, and quickened his pace and trotted to Sicui's side.

"This girl is blessed."

After speaking, the old man said to Gu Siwei: "You are Mr. Gu, what a good person."

Gu Siwei smiled: "Sicui is my sister, taking care of her is what I should do, there is nothing bad about it."

"Huh!"

The old man smiled, stretched out his hand and gently stroked Sicui's head: "If your grandmother sees the life you live now, she will definitely smile from ear to ear."

Sicui grinned.

Gu Siwei couldn't figure out what the relationship between this old man and Sicui's grandmother was for a while, but he had heard of Sicui's grandmother, a very resilient old lady, and learned from the people in the village that this old lady was better than ordinary men.

But it's a pity that the old lady went early, if the old lady didn't leave early, there was a chance that Sicui's family would not be dispersed.

Of course, this is all nonsense, so don't say it.

"Go inside and sit back," said Old Man Zheng.

Gu Siwei took Sicui into the house.

The house was dark, even though it was daytime and the light was still bright, and it was still dark inside.

In the countryside, such houses are very common, they are all old houses, some may have lived in them for decades, and the windows of the old houses are small open, and it is strange that they are not dark.

"Let's go to the yard to talk, it's too dark here, Sicui, help move a small chair."

Gu Siwei didn't care about it yet, but when Gu Siwei saw the chair that was moved out, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.

What the old man's house moved out was a bamboo stool, the kind with a small backrest, which is very common in the countryside, but Gu Siwei has really never seen this small chair that can be made very exquisitely.

Generally, the common small bamboo stools and small bamboo chairs look very rough, but these are not the same, there are no big bamboo strips at all, they are completely thin bamboo slivers, and each sliver is almost one-fifth or sixth-thick of chopsticks.

There are places to be strengthened, and there will be a strand of bamboo strips twisted.

This can no longer be said to be a stool, this is simply a work of art in Gu Siwei's eyes.

To be honest, the last time I saw such a good bamboo product, Gu Siwei saw the introduction of the work of an old bamboo weaving artist on TV decades later.

At that time, a simple bamboo chair of an old artist was sold for 10,000 yuan, and Gu Siwei liked it, but he was really reluctant to pay for it.

Now that I see such exquisite bamboo products again, Gu Siwei's memories are suddenly hooked.

At this time, Si Cui said: "Don't go out yet, Daddy Zheng, I brought you something here."

The little girl said and pulled something out.

"This ...... Girl, where are you ......".

The old man thought about it for a while, and then he understood, this thing must not be the little girl's but the tall Mr. Gu outside the door.

I don't know anything else, who can eat enough now, how can there be anyone who doesn't know, if it weren't for Gu Siwei's side not like a dealer at all, it is estimated that Gu Siwei's family would be able to break the door panel.

"I'm alone, I don't want these, girl, you keep it to eat, you eat it to grow your body, don't I waste it after I eat it......" Old man Zheng looked at the white flour cake that Sicui took out, which was called a sigh.

The old man is an old bachelor, he has no relatives in his life, and he used to make a good life by weaving bamboo, but now where is the things he makes sold, and to whom?

But fortunately, a nephew and nephew in the village are not bad, and they help from time to time, although the old man's life is sad, but he can survive.

Gu Siwei didn't listen to the conversation between the old and the young inside, he was looking at the bamboo chair in his hand at the moment.

He wanted the old man to make things for him, but looking at the old man's appearance, maybe he could survive this winter, even if the old man kept doing it, how much could he make of this thing?

Gu Siwei wants a lot of things.

At this time, Gu Siwei thought of Liu Dezhu again, Liu Fulin always wanted Liu Dezhu, a stupid boy, to learn a craft, Gu Siwei felt that this was not a craft in front of him.

He had an idea in his heart, but Gu Siwei didn't say it, he was going to probe from Sicui's mouth later.
