Chapter 40 Help
"Sicui, let me ask you something, who in our village makes the best clothes?" Gu Siwei thought of the cloth.
Sicui didn't even think about it after hearing this: "Of course it's Aunt Meiling. Her clothes are the most beautiful, and the soles of her shoes are the most beautiful. No one is better at needlework than him. Even Grandma Six praised her."
.
"I have a piece of cloth here, and I want to make cotton-padded clothes for each of us for a year, but I don't know if I should bother them," Gu Siwei said.
Gu Siwei had no choice but to find someone to make clothes, because now there are no suitable ready-made clothes either in the town or in the factory stores. It’s not that there are no stores in the factory, but the items are too expensive. If you add adjectives, Gu Siwei
The four-dimensional one is really expensive.
Can you imagine that an ordinary piece of clothing costs a worker a month's salary, and the style is so ugly that you'll want to hang yourself?
"What's bothering me?"
Just as he was talking, Wu Meiling walked into the yard.
Sicui opened her mouth and said: "Aunt Meiling, my brother said he wanted you to help us make a cotton-padded jacket, but I'm afraid you are busy and don't have time."
"Hey, what am I talking about? I have time. What can I do in the winter? Brother Siwei, this matter is all on me. I just heard that you got a piece of cloth back, so I came over to ask.
I asked if I could help, and who knows, we thought we’d go together.”
Wu Meiling's enthusiasm was really beyond Gu Siwei's expectations, and it also allowed him to truly understand the unpretentious and simple spirit of people at this time.
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."
Gu Siwei picked up the cloth in his hand.
Wu Meiling took the cloth, opened it, looked at it and said, "Is it damp?"
"If it weren't for the trend, they wouldn't sell it so cheaply," Gu Siwei explained.
Wu Meiling said with a smile: "Even if it gets damp, you got an advantage when you bought this cloth. If you think the color is a bit dirty, just dye it again. This old coarse cloth is easy to stain. With such a big piece of cloth, you
You can do two sets. If you do one set, Sicui can do two sets."
"That's it, I'll be fine with one body, and Sicui, please do two bodies for me," Gu Siwei said.
Now Gu Siwei is wearing a suit, while Sicui is still in rags. Besides, Gu Siwei has gradually sorted things out. If he doesn't lack food in the future, he won't lack clothing.
Now he understands that although everyone is not living a very good life, there are still some people who are living a good life. For example, the workers in the factory in the mountains have a much better living standard than ordinary people.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get a ruler when I get home and measure it for you."
Wu Meiling said and walked outside.
"Brother, one suit is enough for me."
When Sicui heard that they were making clothes for herself, she was very happy. However, when she heard that she was going to make two sets of clothes for herself and Gu Siwei only had one set, she started to have random thoughts again.
"Listen to me. If you don't listen, don't stay here."
Gu Siwei was too lazy to say anything to Sicui. He was now thinking about how to repay Wu Meiling's favor. Helping to make clothes was not a favor.
What else should I order? After thinking about it, Gu Siwei thought that giving twenty or thirty kilograms of white noodles would be enough. Of course, this would have to be given secretly. Wu Meiling probably wouldn't gossip about it after receiving it.
About ten minutes later, Wu Meiling came over with a measuring tape and a smile.
As soon as he entered the room, he signaled Sicui to stand and began to measure Sicui's dimensions.
Gu Siwei asked at this time: "Sister-in-law Meiling, whose family has cotton?"
"No, there's no cotton left at home. I've already sewed it on my child's body. Are you going to make a coat?"
"Well, of course I'm making a coat," Gu Siwei said.
Wu Meiling thought for a while and said: "I think, don't make a coat today. It's already July 9th, and spring will start in a while. If you make a coat, you won't be able to wear it for a few days. It's better to make a single coat and wait."
Spring is here, I'll find some cotton seeds for you to plant then, and then I'll think about making coats in winter.
You listen to your sister-in-law. Other sisters-in-law have no confidence, but with your ability, by next winter, you will definitely be able to put together a few coats."
After hearing this, Gu Siwei felt that what Wu Meiling said seemed to be right.
"I don't care, it's just that Sicui's clothes are too thin," Gu Siwei said.
After hearing this, Sicui immediately said: "Brother, I'm fine, I'm not cold at all."
Gu Siwei thought it was a bit funny to see the clear snot dripping from this girl's face and she said she wasn't cold.
"Okay, adults, children, please don't interrupt," Gu Siwei said.
After thinking for a while, Gu Siwei said: "Sister-in-law, please give me some cotton seeds now. I'll prepare them first. In the next two days, I'll prepare some more and sell them to the factory. Maybe I can get a few kilograms of them."
Cotton, when the time comes, you can make a cotton coat for Sicui."
Wu Meiling didn't think much about it. Even if she tried to think about it, she couldn't think of such a heaven-defying thing that Gu Siwei had 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 had it, Gu Siwei said again: "Sister-in-law, do you have any rice seeds at home? If so, give me some."
Wu Meiling said: "There are really no rice seeds, not even in the village, because the land in our village cannot grow rice."
"If there is no water, why can't we grow rice?"
The fields in the village were right next to the water, so why couldn't they grow rice? Gu Siwei was a little surprised.
Wu Meiling said: "How do I know this? Anyway, the yield of rice in the village is too low, so it is suitable for growing potatoes, potatoes and other things. The growth of wheat is average."
"oh!"
Since there were no rice seeds, Gu Siwei felt that he should not worry about it and just wait to get some when he went to town.
Wu Meiling measured the size for Sicui and then measured it for Gu Siwei.
"Sister-in-law, I have to ask you to take care of me these days. I have to go into the mountains to get something to sell." Gu Siwei was about to run away.
Wu Meiling said: "It's okay, you can go ahead. I'm here in Sicui, so nothing big will happen."
Gu Siwei nodded, and then left some dry goods, mainly some fruits. Of course, the not-so-good persimmon cakes were left the most, which was not only enough for Sicui to eat, but also to take care of several children of Wu Meiling's family.
.
The arrangements were almost done, Gu Siwei picked up the ax he had just bought and prepared to go out.
After walking about ten meters out of the door, I heard Liu Fulin's voice coming from behind me.
"Fourth dimension, fourth dimension, where are you going?"
Gu Siwei stopped and turned around and said: "I'm going into the mountains to catch some more game. I'll go to the factory to exchange some money to buy some cotton to make a cotton-padded jacket, and get something else...".
"Don't leave yet, come here, come here, there are still things to discuss in the village." Liu Fulin waved to Gu Siwei.
Gu Siwei leaned on his ax and said with a smile: "You can decide anything you want. How old I am, I can't decide any big things."
To be honest, Gu Siwei doesn't want to care about the affairs of the village. First, people are not unified at all times. It is easy to say that it is easy to take the lead in getting rich. But if you really want to do it, especially if you start from the time of poverty, that kind of hard work is really hard.
It's not something ordinary people can do.
Everyone hears about being a leader in getting rich and thinks it's quite simple, but if you really do it, I dare say that a hundred people can do it and a hundred people can't do it.
It is really not something that ordinary people can have the patience to do.
Therefore, Gu Siwei has no interest at all in being a leader in getting rich, and has no intention of interfering with entering the village. He is now thinking about waiting for a period of time, and he will arrange the arrangements at Yinsongya, and get rid of Sicui, a dragster.
You Ping, just move to Yinsong Cliff and live your own life happily.
"You have to go. The backbone of each family in the village must be there. Our village is like this. All major issues have to be discussed, and the minority obeys the majority," Liu Fulin said.
For these people in the Sixth Team, there must be some people who are not convinced by Gu Siwei. Not only are there, they are definitely not from one family or two families, but those who can see from a distance and clearly know that a strange person like Gu Siwei feels that they belong to the village.
Help, not resistance in the village.
At this time, if you don't tighten your grip on Gu Si and treat him as a corner, how can you do it?
Don't think that farmers are born with short-sightedness. People like Yang Chuanwu cannot understand the times, but they definitely have a way of seeing people.
To put it bluntly, people like Yang Chuanwu are trying to trick the people of Siwei.
In fact, things in the world are just like that. You can win other people's hearts by playing with your heart. Other than that, no matter how many tricks you try, it's all nonsense.
Of course, if you have money, you may be able to do it, but people like Yang Chuanwu don't have money. Their faces are three points cleaner than theirs. How can they get the money to win over Gu Siwei?
Besides, Gu Siwei can't be bought by money.
At this moment, Liu Fulin was about to come over and pull Gu Siwei away. There was no other way, so Gu Siwei had no choice but to follow Liu Fulin with an ax in his hand.
It's still Yang Chuanwu's small courtyard, and there are still a bunch of old faces, sitting casually on stools, clicking their cigarette bags, smoking their own roll-your-own cigarettes, and their faces are as gloomy as the bottom of a pond.
Gu Siwei understood that this must be about talking about the land, which happened last time. Everyone knew that if the land was still as cultivated as in previous years, it would definitely not work. Although the land was divided, it would still be hungry, but
At least it's much better than now.
The key point is that now everyone is afraid of causing trouble for themselves.
No one else spoke, so Gu Siwei pretended to be mute and just followed everyone else.
So the whole yard was silent, and the birds on the trees were chirping, which was a bit annoying.
Gu Siwei looked carefully at the ax he was holding, as if there were flowers on the axe.
"cough!"
