Chapter 134: Digging for Wild Vegetables
Don't care what, the villagers are in a very good mood now, so they naturally pick up good things to say, otherwise it won't be annoying to say something unpleasant at this time.
But I can't say much, the villagers want to hear it, but Lao Gu is sick to his stomach, so I can say these two sentences at once.
"Well, I still have something to do, I have to go back first," Gu Siwei said.
"Stay a little longer?"
It's clear that some people are obedient and haven't heard enough.
"Don't stay, there are still a lot of things to do at home" Gu Siwei took advantage of the matter to prepare to escape, he didn't want to be involved with these people anymore, and he didn't know what kind of brains the two old men were.
Nodding with everyone, Gu Siwei walked towards the boat on the shore, and when he arrived at the bow of the boat, he was about to get on the boat, only to find that Sicui did not follow.
glanced back and found that Si Cui was talking to the two little girls there, and they seemed to be chatting happily.
"Sicui, why don't you follow everyone here to dig wild vegetables? I'll come and pick you up when I have lunch at noon" Gu Siwei was very happy to see Sicui, so he thought about letting the girl play here for a while, so as to save herself from working at home, as if she had hired a child laborer.
Listening to Gu Siwei's voice, Sicui glanced up, and then looked around, only to find that the adults had dispersed, and they looked at their own fields in twos and threes, and all of them changed their sad faces two days ago, with a smile on each face, and it was almost written on their faces that we were really happy.
"I'm leaving, I'll tell you later."
Sicui and his friends waved their hands, stood up and ran in the direction of the boat.
When he got to the side of the boat, he jumped with his legs together, jumped on the bow of the boat and waved his hand at the two little sisters.
"Let's go! Let's go home," Si Cui shook his braid and said very splendidly.
Gu Siwei picked up the iron anchor, put it on the bow of the boat, pushed the boat offshore with two steps, and then jumped on the boat and picked up the paddle and prepared to row to the mouth of the gorge.
"Why don't you play here for a while, didn't you say that you want to follow everyone to dig wild vegetables?" Gu Siwei asked his sister.
Sicui, who was sitting on the side of the board and stretched out his little feet to play in the water, said after listening: "Now I don't dig wild vegetables, I didn't eat when I dug wild vegetables, but now these crops in the fields of each family are much more expensive than wild vegetables, and the adults have to take care of the ground from today onwards, and don't let us go into the mountains to dig wild vegetables."
Speaking of this, Sicui felt a little pity.
When Gu Siwei saw Sicui's appearance, he said, "Otherwise, let's go digging wild vegetables today, okay?" ”
"Today?"
Sicui perked up when she heard this: "Can you take Meihua and Sanya with them, as long as you talk to their parents, they will definitely follow us."
"You want to be with them?" Gu Siwei stopped the pulp in his hand and asked.
Seeing Sicui nodded, Gu Siwei turned the boat back to the shore, and began to go to the parents of Meihua and Sanyatou, and talked to them, and the two families agreed that their girls would follow Sicui and Gu Siwei into the mountains to pick wild vegetables.
That's it, there were two more girls on the boat back, and they crossed the river and returned to the old house, Gu Siwei threw the three girls down, and he rushed back to the Silver Pine Cliff to get things, tools or anything, even if there was no in the old house, they borrowed it, mainly food, Gu Siwei took the three children to dig wild vegetables, and he had to bring some snacks or something.
There is a space in the space, but it is not easy to take it out directly, so I excused myself to go home and take it with a small sickle to pick wild vegetables.
It took almost an hour to go back and forth, waiting for the sun to rise, Gu Siwei took the three girls to set off, and he hadn't left the village yet, and there were a few more little tails behind him, a water boy, smaller than Sicui, they didn't go to pick wild vegetables.
At this time, most of the boys can't work in the field when there is only one thing, that is, playing, such as picking wild vegetables, generally speaking, the mother takes her sisters and sisters to go, at this time everyone thinks that the male baby has to do something about the male baby, and the female baby has to play pigweed and pick wild vegetables.
The three little boys naturally didn't pick wild vegetables to follow Gu Siwei, the three little things were hungry for the things in the Gu Siwei basket.
The place to pick wild vegetables is quite far away, but for the mountain people, a few miles of mountain roads are nothing, from the entrance of the canyon to the north, walk more than two miles, the mountain is a little more relaxed, at this time you can go up along the slope, the slope is full of all kinds of plants, including the wild vegetables that the villagers want.
Gu Siwei didn't know many wild vegetables, such as dandelions, purslane, and at most a camellia, and he didn't know other old Gu, so the wild vegetables he picked were these three things, and many of them were too old to eat.
Sicui and the other two girls were just happy, and the small sickle in everyone's hand flew up and down, and they didn't stop.
Gu Siwei finally became the child king, and took a few children to sit under the shade of the tree to rest.
The reality is that a few boys are looking for something to play with on the rocks, and at this moment anything will become their toy, such as mountain toads, small insects, etc., as long as they see them, they can't escape their poisonous hands.
The mountain toad is relatively small, not as ugly as the toad, it looks a bit like a small frog, but it doesn't grow big, at most it's a bigger finger, how long it can live Gu Siwei doesn't know, anyway, I know that this thing doesn't grow big.
"Uncle Siwei, Uncle Siwei".
Just met the mountain toad, Gu Siwei returned to the shade of the tree and didn't sit down yet, when he heard another kid calling him, so he had to get up and come over.
"What's fun you've found again?" Gu Siwei asked as he walked.
A kid with a snot dragging his nose stretched out his little black hand to show Gu Siwei his new toy.
"I'm!"
Gu Siwei was almost frightened out of his body, because this kid was holding a centipede that was almost more than 20 centimeters long, and the thing was still alive, twisting and twisting in the kid's hand, but he couldn't bite this kid.
"What are you doing with this thing, hurry up and let it go," Gu Siwei hurriedly said.
The little baby shrank her hand: "You can't put it, this thing is so expensive, five of these are worth a penny if they are dried!" ”
As he spoke, the little guy grabbed a stalk of grass from the side, and tied up the huge centipede with a twist back and forth in his hand, apparently preparing to take it home and sell it for money.
"Someone took this thing?" Gu Siwei didn't get closer, he really didn't have any interest in this thing, first of all, it was too ugly, and secondly, when he saw this thing crawling on the ground, Gu Siwei's hairs were a little bit about to stand up.
"It's not to collect, it's to be sold, but one or two can't do it, it takes more, and it has to be dried in the sun, and our family sold a pound of this ...... last summer."
Wazi, who was a little more than a year older than the centipede, and Gu Siwei began to talk about the feat of catching these things for money with several village brothers last summer.
Gu Siwei thought it was very interesting, listening to the little ones, he was skimming a small branch and pulling a small stone on the ground like the children.
There is really everything under this stone, Gu Siwei allocated less than twenty yuan, and found several kinds of insects under the stone, the most common is crickets, as if they have picked up the cricket nest, almost half of them are these things.
Of course, there are some ugly things, such as toads and so on.
"Brother!"
Just when Gu Siwei was playing in a hurry, Sicui came back with her two little sisters.
As soon as they saw Si Cui coming back, several boys instantly threw away the things in their hands, including the big centipede that was bolted, and they couldn't run away, because the thing was already dead, and it would be their fate to live for a minute in the hands of the children.
Sicui's return means that you can have a snack.
Now there are many families in the village, well, to be honest, most families are patriarchal, and generally boys eat better at home, and any snacks are eaten by boys.
But Gu Siwei doesn't have this point of view, like now, when you want to eat snacks, everyone must be together to eat them, and it's the same for boys and girls to get snacks.
This is Gu Siwei's rules, there may be male babies who are treated special at home, but they are all honestly waiting in front of Gu Siwei.
This time, Gu Siwei took out peanut candy, under normal circumstances, Gu Siwei would not let Sicui eat more, not that Gu Siwei was reluctant, but it was not good for such a young girl to eat too much sugar.
Why buy it? The reason is very simple, because Gu Siwei is sometimes greedy.
Gu Siwei has not yet arrived, all the children are lined up in front of the basket, a few girls are in front, only the boys who are playing are at the back of the line, and after they are lined up from childhood to adulthood, they are waiting for Gu Siwei to come over.
Gu Siwei came to the side of the basket, reached in and touched it, and took out the paper bun containing sugar, at this time the paper buns used to buy these candies, and the plastic bags that I saw in the future were not very common, they were all loose, how much you wanted, how much the salesperson weighed for you, and then tied a bag of paper with a paper rope, and carried it in your hand.
"Two pieces per person, wait for the next time when you finish eating."
Each person was divided into two pieces of peanut candy, and all the children sat down and ate candy deliciously, including Sicui's posture of eating candy, as if someone had trained.
In one hand, he holds the candy he has not yet eaten, and in the other hand, he holds the candy he is eating, and puts it in his mouth instead of biting and eating, but licking it with his tongue, and it is the kind of licking that goes from under the sugar to the top, and the tongue sweeps over the entire sugar surface.
This licking method completely shows the image of a little gluttonous cat in front of Gu Siwei's eyes.
Gu Siwei feels that watching these children eat candy, sugar is happy, because these children are full of happiness.
Gu Siwei himself also got two pieces, but it was naturally impossible for him to lick the candy, so he threw a piece into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it in his stomach.
The two pieces of candy in his hand didn't last ten seconds, and when he finished eating, he looked at the children, and the candy in his hand was not at all small as if he had never eaten it.
Just when Gu Siwei was looking at the child with a smile, a kid found him, met Gu Siwei's eyes, and instantly the little guy put his hand behind his back, thought for a while, and finally received it on his chest, but twisted his whole body over, as if he was afraid that Gu Siwei would eat up his own and come over to grab the candy in his hand.
Gu Siwei was amused by this kid, and reached out to rub it on his little brain: "Okay, you are a stingy ghost."
