Counterattack in the chronology

Gu Lichun suddenly stopped in his tracks, raised the lantern, and pointed it at Zhao Zhijun: "Uncle Zhao, your question just now had ulterior motives."

Zhao Zhijun laughed dryly: "It's not suitable to use it here with ulterior motives, it's not possible."

Gu Lichun put down the lantern again, and remained silent for a long time. Once he connected things together, he found the reason for Zhao Zhijun's recent changes.For example, some time ago I used to help his family with work, and I used to show weakness to ask for help because of my injury, for example, I always looked at myself with that kind of kind eyes, so it was so.

Gu Lichun wasn't too disgusted, he felt pretty good about Zhao Zhijun.But I just felt weird in my heart, with that strange and uncomfortable feeling of "I treat you as a friend, but you treat me as a son".

The relationship between the two of them suddenly changed from a relationship of friends and colleagues to a relationship of father and son, even in name, and they would resist and feel awkward in their hearts.

Having said that, his mother is not yet 40 years old this year, and she has not enjoyed any blessings after marrying that scumbag Gu Dajiang. He has no objection to her remarrying.However, the brothers and sisters have not passed the air yet, so I have to communicate with them.

Zhao Zhijun didn't urge Gu Lichun either, it's just right to think about such a big matter for a long time.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Lichun finally asked a key question: "Have you communicated with my mother?"

Zhao Zhijun said unnaturally: "Not yet, but I think as long as you pass your test, your mother's place should not be a big problem."

Gu Lichun couldn't help stabbing him: "Don't be too arrogant, what if my mother doesn't like you?"

Zhao Zhijun said with a good temper: "I will work hard for it."

Gu Lichun thought for a while, and said: "There are many problems in family reorganization. You'd better clarify everything, such as whether Mingguang and Minghua are willing, the opinions of your family members, and whether my younger brothers and sisters are willing to accept you. Except me In addition, our family has six underage children, and we get along very well as neighbors, not necessarily as a family, which are two different things. You have a lot of problems to solve."

Zhao Zhijun said earnestly: "Mingguang and Minghua, I tried it a long time ago. They like your mother and your family very much. There is absolutely no problem. On my side, my parents are gone, and I have a younger brother and a younger sister. They are all married. It’s far away, just write a letter to inform me. The key is your side, I hope you can help me.”

Gu Lichun flatly refused: "You have to solve this problem by yourself, don't expect me to help. I'm still a child, so I don't know anything about the affairs between you adults."

Zhao Zhijun: "..."

He followed the good example: "Then, child, I plan to tell your mother about this in a few days, and I will fight for your brother and sister."

Gu Lichun replied awkwardly: "It's up to you."

The atmosphere became delicate and weird, and the two had nothing to say all the way.

It was already 10:[-] when they got home. Seeing that it was so late, Gu Lichun asked Wu Pang and Zhao Gao to go to the guest room to spend the night together.

There was no dream all night, and the next morning, Tian Sanhong packed up the things for the second grandmother before going to work, and made breakfast and put it in the pot.

Gu Lichun got up, washed and tidied up while waiting for Yang Aiguo.

At 8:[-], Yang Aiguo came, not only he came, but also all the people who visited the study group.

Gu Lichun looked at the large group of people, and asked suspiciously: "Is there... something wrong with you?"

One of the comrades surnamed Liu came out to speak as a representative: "Well, Comrade Gu, I'm really sorry to disturb you so early in the morning. It's the black bean chili sauce you gave us. It tastes very good. We were going to bring I went home, but ended up eating it without holding back. We wanted to buy a few more bottles for relatives and friends, so we came to you."

Gu Lichun said: "That's no problem. We have a non-staple food processing plant in Wuchang, which is in charge of the logistics department's big sister Bai. In this way, I will say hello to her later, and you can go directly. However, let me make an agreement in advance. The annual bureau has agreed to bring our products to the exhibition, such as tempeh and fermented bean curd. We just changed the new packaging and applied for a brand called Honghechun. Now everyone is producing new products that will be shipped to the Canton Fair. I don’t know I can only help you as much as I can.”

When everyone heard that the product was going to the Canton Fair, it was going to be sold to foreigners, and they wanted to buy it even more.Originally I wanted to buy a few bottles to give to relatives and friends, but now I made up my mind that if the goods are sufficient, they must buy a few more bottles.

Gu Lichun asked his uncle to stay at home by himself, and he led these people to the venue.

This early in the morning, a large group of people suddenly came outside the office, which startled Sister Bai, and Gu Lichun hurried forward to explain his purpose.

Sister Bai pulled Gu Lichun into the office and said, "Everyone has been experimenting with various flavors of tempeh these days, but the results are still not satisfactory. I just called the cafeteria office and seconded your mother to the non-staple food factory." Helping over there, and adding a group of family members as temporary workers, the output should be greatly increased. It’s just that we have newly changed the packaging, and the cost has also increased, and the price has not yet been determined.”

Gu Lichun was not too clear about the prices in this era, so he said: "Sister Bai, we have changed the packaging, we have a new brand, and the taste is also improving. I think the prices are on par with those on the market. Of course, These people are class brothers of the fraternal unit, you can give them a discount, but you have to make it clear on the face of it. This is up to you, I am only responsible for bringing people here.”

Sister Bai nodded: "Yes."

Sister Bai arranged for people from the non-staple food factory to entertain them, let them visit the sample room, explained the approximate price, and registered how many bottles each person wanted to buy.

Since there is a special person to arrange, Gu Lichun doesn't have to worry about it.He said hello to Sister Bai, and then rode his bicycle home.

They didn't bring many things back this time, just a bicycle for each of them.

Four or ten minutes later, the two appeared in Gujia Village.

Second Mistress heard the knock on the door, came out and saw that it was her son-in-law and grandson, she was naturally full of surprises.

"Lichun, are you on vacation again? Aiguo, why are you back? Just you?"

Yang Aiguo replied: "I accompanied the leader to the farm to visit and study. I just have one free day today, so I came to see you. How are you doing? Are you in good health?"

Second Mistress smiled and said, "I'm fine, come in quickly, have you had breakfast?"

The two hurriedly replied that they had eaten.

Second Mistress called Gu Lichun while talking: "Lichun, I'll give you money and tickets, and you go to the supply and marketing agency to buy half a catty of meat."

Gu Lichun said: "My uncle brought you some meat, so you don't need to buy it."

The two men were talking while taking things off the bicycle.

The second grandma was busy boiling water to make tea.

After Yang Aiguo put down his things, he diligently went to fetch water, pack firewood, do some physical work, and check what things needed repairing.

After the three of them had dinner, the second grandma was asking about the situation in Yang Aiguo's home. Gu Lichun said hello to them, and he wanted to go home and have a look.

Back home, as soon as he opened the door and entered, he found that the yard had returned to life, the vegetable garden was neatly trimmed, and the vines were trellised and cleaned.

The spirit of the second elder of the Chen family was also much better than last time. It was rare for Chen Yu to be at home. When he saw Gu Lichun, he couldn't help being stunned: "Are you back?"

Gu Lichun hummed as an answer.

Maybe it was because of what happened last time. There was still some awkwardness between the two of them. Chen Yu planned to take this opportunity to resolve the knot, so he lowered his eyes and said, "I went to the county twice and bought a lot of old books. Come here See if there is anything you need."

Gu Lichun hummed again, hesitated for a moment, and followed Chen Yu into his room.

The bookcases are filled with old books, newspapers and magazines, as well as a dozen or so comic books.

Chen Yu pointed to the comic book: "I don't need these, you can show them to your younger siblings."

Gu Lichun picked out a stack of comic books, a stack of old newspapers, three magazines, and two novels.

He wanted to give Chen Yu money, but Chen Yu was determined not to: "It's just this little money, no matter how poor I am, I can still afford it."

Gu Lichun looked at the clothes on his body. They were probably tight when he was a child. Gu Lichun was afraid that he would accidentally open them again, so he said, "Since you still have money, let's buy some clothes."

Chen Yu didn't hide anything from him: "I'm rich now, but I can't dress too well, it's too eye-catching." Since Gu Dahai's downfall, Ye Changming came to power, and Gu Lichun's relationship, the village's supervision on them has become more and more serious. more relaxed.Except that you cannot send a letter of introduction to travel far away, you are basically free to move at other times.But Chen Yu's family is still tense and dare not relax at all times.

Gu Lichun put away the books and felt that there was nothing else to do, so he prepared to leave.

Chen Yu hurriedly stopped him: "You are leaving now."

After finishing speaking, he was afraid that what he had done would cause misunderstanding again. He brewed for a while, stared at the ground, and said in a low tone, "Lichun, I hope you don't misunderstand me. I have been sent down by my grandparents since I was a child. I don't have friends. I don't know how to be normal." How should I get along with my friends, I may not do well in some places, but I have no other intentions. I just want to take good care of my grandparents in the future, preserve myself, and wait for the storm to pass."

Gu Lichun stared at Chen Yu silently, his expression was pure and harmless, with just the right amount of pity, and his appearance could easily arouse people's pity for him.

Gu Lichun said angrily: "Okay, don't perform in front of me from now on."

Chen Yu looked up at Gu Lichun and confirmed, "Then we will still be friends in the future?"

Gu Lichun was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Temporary friends."

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes sparkled brightly: "Temporary friends are very good."

"Then I'm leaving, bye."

"Wait a minute, I have an update here."

Gu Lichun stopped in his tracks, and looked at Chen Yu suspiciously: "How long has it been, do you have any new news?"

Chen Yu smiled unnaturally: "I'm not as busy as you. I'm free, and I like to inquire about news when I have nothing to do."

"You say it."

Chen Yu pointed to the stool: "Don't stand there, sit down and listen to me."

Gu Lichun had no choice but to put his schoolbag on the table and sit down.

Chen Yu deliberately chose a place far away from him to sit down, and began to talk about the news he had inquired: "After the autumn harvest, I went to Yejia Village to inquire about the mother's family of the crazy woman back then. Naturally, her parents are long gone. Now, two of the three brothers are gone, and one is still alive, but not in the local area. Finally, I found her cousin. The woman didn’t want to tell me. I used some tricks to tell me. some inside scoop.

She said that her crazy aunt did steal a child back then. At that time, the family wanted to find out the child's biological parents and planned to return the child.But first, it was too far away, and second, the child looked unhealthy, as if he was about to die, and they were afraid that the child's biological parents would come, but the child would disappear, and they were afraid of taking responsibility.So some people proposed to simply throw the child on the road, and their people hid aside to watch. Someone picked it up the best, and no one picked it up and carried it back before making plans. It happened that your mother picked it up.Only their family knew about this, and no one else, not even the people in Yejia Village, knew about it. "

After hearing this, Gu Lichun was silent for a long time, nodded and said: "I see, thank you."

Chen Yu was afraid that he would bid farewell again, so he hurriedly continued: "You're welcome—there is one more thing that my grandfather suddenly remembered when he was reading the newspaper. Your uncle Meng Anhua used to be an official in the capital, and his official position is not small. , was implicated by an official who was resigned from power, and he should still be serving his sentence in a certain prison in Beihe Province. One of your cousins ​​was ... beaten and disabled, and it seems to be in a certain relief home. However, this was all a few years ago I don't know how they are doing now."

Gu Lichun's heart was shocked, and he remained silent for a long time.

Chen Yu couldn't bear it, but he couldn't help but say that he was afraid that Gu Lichun would bump into him accidentally.

After a while, Gu Lichun asked: "What about the third child of the Meng family? Do you know where their family is locked up?"

Chen Yu shook his head blankly: "I'm sorry, my family is not very familiar with the Meng family, and my grandparents have only heard of the Meng family, like your grandpa and uncle, because the matter is too big, everyone knows it, and others don't know much about it. No. But I'll try to find out for you."

Gu Lichun said in a deep voice: "Okay, you have told me enough information, I will find out the rest myself."

Chen Yu was still worried, and added: "You must not go to the capital, not in the past few years."

Gu Lichun smiled bitterly and said, "Unless you have official business, most people can't go if they want to, right?"

Chen Yu thought about it too, he cared about it and made chaos.

Gu Lichun got up and left, Chen Yu didn't stop him this time, but silently followed him and sent him out.

Waiting outside the courtyard, Chen Yu saw that there was no one around, and quickly said: "Don't think too much, live your life well, just like you advised me, you must preserve your strength and yourself."

Gu Lichun nodded silently, and walked away. He didn't take a few steps, Chen Yu chased after him again, his face was a little pale, and his tone was urgent: "There is one more thing, I suddenly remembered, there is another variable here—— Jiang Mu. If he asks his relatives and family members in the capital for news about the Meng family, their Jiang family can betray even their friends in order to protect themselves and get promoted. It becomes troublesome."

Gu Lichun's heart was turbulent, the matter became more and more complicated, he was involuntarily drawn into a vortex.

Chen Yu seemed to be more anxious than him. He beat his head with his fists, frowning in thought.

Gu Lichun had no choice but to pretend to be calm and said: "It's okay, you don't have to worry, I will take care of this matter. You can go back."

What he didn't know was that Chen Yu had already made up his mind.
