Tick, tick, tick!

The rain fell from the eaves, hit the ground, and fell into the small puddles that had previously been dripped by the rain, making a crisp sound.

Gu Siwei was standing at the door, wearing a robe, and changing his shoes.

The bare feet were pulled out of the slippers and reached into the rain boots that swung beside them.

"What are you going for?"

Hu Yanqiu happened to come out to pour water at this time, and when he saw Gu Siwei's dress, he asked.

Gu Siwei didn't look back, and continued to insert his other foot into the rain boot, and said at the same time: "I have to go to the mountain to see my saplings, don't be washed away by the water."

Hu Yanqiu said: "Didn't you say that it looks good? Can't even resist this little rain? ”

Since the decision to plant trees on the bald hills, more than 20 days have passed, and these 20 days and 40 days are not planted every day, but as long as there is time, they will bring the saplings they have bred and plant them on the hills, and there are about three or four hundred scattered trees in the forest.

The main force is Gu Siwei alone, like Hu Yanqiu, they almost didn't interfere much, because they were busy with school affairs.

Gu Siwei is not in a hurry here, anyway, when he has time, he feels happy or worried, and brings some seedlings to plant trees, which has gradually become a pastime for Gu Siwei to pass the time.

"The early planting belongs to the carrying, but the later planting is a bit difficult to say, one is that the planting is late, the roots are not deep enough, and the other is that the slope and soil over there are also loose, and it is easy to store flooded seedlings in the ravine," Gu Siwei said.

"Dad, where are you going?"

The second Zhonglin stuck his head out of the room and asked Gu Siwei.

"Go to the mountains and see my cherry trees," Gu Siwei said and was about to go out.

Zhong Lin immediately said, "Dad, can you take me with you?" ”

"What are you going to do on a rainy day" Gu Siwei directly rejected his son.

Zhonglin said: "I can work for you, why can't I go?" ”

"What are you doing? Lao Tzu, I can't afford you" Gu Siwei saw through his son's careful thinking at a glance, and to put it bluntly, he didn't want to stay at home.

The reason is simpler, staying at home, my aunt will watch him study, and after learning, I have to learn painting with Grandpa Lu, learn poetry with Grandpa Tao, or learn calligraphy with Grandpa Zhou, in short, learn this and that, how can such an old child like it.

It's not right to say that you don't like it, like Gu Siwei's youngest son, that is, Shuli is a good seedling of learning, and he can learn to live and learn.

I don't know if there is a problem with the name of the second and fifth, one Zhonglin and one Zhongyi, all of them are like monkeys without a stomach, and they are not interested in learning anything.

You say you're not interested.,These two boys are still learning well.,The two boys are really a little smart.,A little bit of things.,Learn very fast.,Maybe that's the case.,I don't care too much about learning anything.,I feel very confused.。

On the contrary, the eldest uncle in the family, he is really serious about learning, his attitude is first-class, and his writing is also stroked by stroke, but he is slower than his younger brothers in learning.

The third child is ordinary, he doesn't see any talent, everything is so-so.

As for the fourth uncle, learning everything else is really average, but only one is really talented in fiddling with musical instruments, what instrument is in his hand, it doesn't take long to fiddle with it, not to mention how it is, anyway, he can blow the tune, which really makes Gu Siwei, an old father who doesn't understand the rhythm of music, happy for a long time.

"Dad, take me there, I'm obedient and ruthless" Zhonglin, this kid immediately entangled his father.

Hu Yanqiu said at this time: "You can take him there, it's not good to study, just follow you to do some work, and you can support yourself by planting a fruit tree or something in the future."

"Thank you, Mom!"

Gu Siwei angrily threw a chestnut at this kid's head: "You think this is a compliment to you?" ”

"It's good to be able to support yourself, didn't you tell me" Zhonglin grinned, rubbing the place where his father had knocked him, and responded with a smile.

"You remember this when I say this, why can't you remember what you say is good?" Gu Siwei smiled and then said, "Change clothes and rain boots."

"Lao Wu, Zhongyi! Let's go, follow Dad to plant cherries."

When the kid heard this, he immediately yelled at the house.

Well, a small head popped up from the door: "Go outside? ”

"Done with homework?" Gu Siwei asked at the fifth child.

Well...... Well!

The fifth child is a little stuck, and at a glance, he knows that this kid has not finished writing.

"How many more?" Zhonglin asked.

"Give me five more minutes," Zhongyi said.

Gu Siwei thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, you write slowly, don't worry, otherwise your aunt won't be able to pass the pass."

"I see, Dad, when have I ever been lazy?" As soon as Zhongyi heard that his father was going to wait for him, he threw down a sentence and retracted into the house.

Hu Yanqiu came back after pouring water, and saw Gu Siwei and the other sitting at the door changing clothes, so he said: "Oh, don't forget, get a fish when you come back, and eat stewed fish tonight."

"Okay," Gu Siwei nodded.

It's so easy to eat fish here, just ...... Don't be direct, look for grass flowers and blocks, and the two guys will catch a big fish for you in minutes.

"By the way, how many families are still planting trees with you?" Hu Yanqiu took a cup, took a sip of tea, and asked casually.

Gu Siwei said: "Now there are two families, Meiling's sister-in-law's family, and Ma Chunya's family, Brother Chuanwu is half a family, his family is almost half less than Meiling's sister-in-law's family."

In the first two or three days, there were still many people who planted with Gu Siwei, but after a week, the number of people began to decrease, and after ten days, there were only three left, and one by one they didn't find the grass in the field, which was an excuse for drying grain at home, so they didn't come.

Gu Siwei didn't plan to force everyone to plant trees, although he had a lot of plans in his heart, he never told the villagers.

Lao Gu is this problem, he never treats people who follow him with an iron heart, but for those people at both ends of the first rat, he never insists on it, he just wants to make people understand: Follow us Lao Gu will have meat to eat!

"Everyone is busy with family affairs, and it's normal not to plant trees with you."

Hu Yanqiu also understands that if you say that if you make money from this thing, a lot of people will definitely follow you. But now no one thinks that there is money to be made by planting cherry trees in the mountains.

This idea seems strange after a few decades, but at this time it is very normal, everything is distributed by the state, there is almost no commodity economy, three or five catties can be sold in a basket, a mountain, a thousand trees, where do you sell it?

So at first, the villagers thought that the green tree was very good and followed it, but it soon ran out of motivation, which is normal. There are really few people who are interested in doing the work of empty hard work.

"How's your school building going?" Gu Siwei asked.

The two of them are busy with their own work, and there is almost no intersection in their own busy work, Gu Siwei has been busy planting trees since he was busy, and the big pot of dishes is not made by him, Hu Qiu and others set up a pot next to them, and went over directly with rice vegetables in the morning.

Gu Siwei's side is even simpler, when a person wants to do it, do a little bit, and when he doesn't want to do it, the fruit in the space can be dealt with.

The family now has to eat in the evening to get together.

Today is a special situation, because it is raining outside, and it is impossible for the school building to dry in the rain, so everyone stays at home.

"In a few days, the new classroom will allow children to go to class, but if there are several classes together, it will have to wait a few months if they want to be separated by class," Hu Yanqiu briefly explained the progress of the school building these days to Gu Siwei.

As soon as the two finished talking, Zhongyi ran out of the house.

"Let's go, I'm done," Zhong Yi said happily.

Hu Yanqiu saw it and said to Gu Siwei: "A sheep is a group of sheep, so let's bring a few children."

"Ah, Mom, why? They haven't finished their homework yet," Zhongyi felt that this was too unfair.

Hu Yanqiu said with a smile: "Other homework is done seriously, even if it is not done now, I will know that I will finish it when I come back, what about you?" will play tricks".

"Boqi, Boren, you all go with your father to the hill to see the cherry trees," Hu Yanqiu shouted into the house.

After listening to this, Shuli replied: "Mom, I'm not going, I'll have to learn willow style from Grandpa Lu later, and it's raining outside."

Bolin also said: "Mom, I'm not going either, I still have a lot of questions to do here, and I am not sure about some of what I am doing now, so I will let my aunt tell me about it."

"Mom, I want to practice the flute, don't go."

Well, except for the two little things that look like monkeys, the other four are not interested at all.

Hu Yanqiu said: "I've been studying for so long, go out and do some activities."

"Don't go".

When Hu Yanqiu heard that the children in the house were so resolute, he said to the grandfather at the door: "Then you guys go."

Gu Siwei listened and went out with his two sons.

The grandfather had just gone out here, and met Zhou Guangxian head-on.

"What are you doing here? Looking at this weather, the rain will not stop for a while and a half, and it may even get heavier" Zhou Guangxian saw that the master was going out in this dress, so he asked curiously.

Gu Siwei said: "Go and see the cherry tree seedlings, don't be flooded by water or anything."

Zhou Guangxian said: "Why don't I go with you too?" ”

"Don't you, it's raining and slippery on the mountain now, don't hurt you," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Zhou Guangxian said: "Who do you look down on, let me tell you, I feel like I can kill a cow now."

"I know, I know, each of you can kill a cow now, and I don't know when you can kill it, our family has delicious beef," Gu Siwei joked.

Several old men were well taken care of here by Gu Siwei, although the work was quite heavy, but both mentally and physically were better than when they first came.

"If you want to eat beef, then you have to pay for it," Zhou Guangxian said with a smile.

Gu Siwei glanced at him, beef naturally has to be bought, and it is not easy to buy at this time, Gu Siwei's pigs and sheep are available, but there are no cows, so this beef is also in demand in the old Gu family.

Thinking of beef, Gu Siwei feels that the next time he goes to Hong Kong City, he must get a few cows to raise something, not to mention eating meat and drinking milk, his six sons can't keep up with their nutrition?

"Gone?"

Gu Siwei waved his hand at Zhou Guangxian while thinking wildly, and walked towards the cliff mouth with his son one by one.
