Counterattack in the chronology

The autumn harvest is heavy, and people's food is better than usual. Generally, they can eat enough, and those from better families can see some oil stars.

With the situation of Gu Lichun's family, it would be nice to have enough to eat.Gu Lichun guards the farm without worrying about food and drink. He is growing up, his appetite is like a bottomless pit, and he has to subsidize himself with food from the farm every day.But he couldn't bear to let him eat alone all the time, after all, the carrot heads below were all skinny, and he felt uncomfortable looking at them.

Gu Lichun asked Lixia to secretly go to Xiali and the town, and bought fish a few times. The money from selling the fish was used to cut two catties of meat. The fat meat was used to refine oil, and the lean meat was cooked for cooking.The family ate fish and shrimp every few days, even though the food was improved in this way, Tian Sanhong still lost a few catties of meat, and the whole person looked thinner and thinner.

Gu Lichun looked distressed, he went into the mountain before dawn and caught a chicken from the farm, but domestic chicken and pheasant look different, so Gu Lichun had to kill the chicken himself, pluck the hair, and hide the chicken in the In the cave that only he and Lixia knew, and then rushed home before going to work, he called Lixia and whispered: "I went to the mountain in the morning to catch a pheasant, killed it, and hid it in a broken clay pot in the cave. When I went hunting hogweed with Xiaoman, I roasted the chicken, last time I taught you the beggar chicken, do you know how to do it?"

Li Xia looked ecstatic and nodded hurriedly: "I know."

"Be careful to avoid your partner. After baking, the two of you eat some, and take the rest back for the whole family to eat."

Li Xia was thinking about the chicken, and after a quick bite of breakfast, he took the basket to hunt pigweed, and Xiao Man followed behind with the basket.

Work was off at 1:[-] noon, and the family trudged home without even the strength to speak.

The rice was made by Xiao Man and Li Xia, and it tasted pretty good.

Zamian pancakes, stir-fried vegetables with lard, and millet porridge, everyone ate very deliciously. When Li Xia took out the roasted chicken, everyone was shocked.

Gu Dajiang looked surprised: "Where did this chicken come from?"

Li Xia told the story about his elder brother going into the mountains before dawn to catch pheasants, and he took advantage of the hogweed to roast the chicken.

Gu Dajiang raised his eyebrows, didn't speak, and just ate the chicken in silence.

Seeing him only caring about eating for himself and not caring about other people's selfishness, Gu Lichun looked down upon him very much.He grabbed the roast chicken and shared the meat with everyone.If he let his mother share, she will definitely lose herself.

"Give this chicken leg to Xiao Yu, and keep the other one for Second Mistress." He distributed the rest of the meat evenly among the people. One chicken looked fat, but it couldn't be helped by the crowd. On average, everyone shared to a few pieces of meat.

Xiaoyu got the most delicious chicken legs, she was happy and uneasy, she gave way very sensiblely: "Brother, I don't like chicken legs, you can eat them."

Gu Lichun said: "You are the youngest in the family, of course the chicken legs belong to you, and everyone else has meat to eat."

The others are very satisfied, but Gu Dajiang is very dissatisfied.He is the head of the family, and he is the head of the family, and he is the first to give up all the delicious food in the house, especially now that he is doing heavy work in the autumn harvest. One of the two chicken legs was given to Xiaoyu, and the other was returned to the old woman. Why? .

He glared at Gu Lichun fiercely, and said in a vicious voice, "Did you forget who is the head of the family? Without Lao Tzu working hard outside to earn work points, you can't even eat your ass."

Gu Lichun raised his eyes slightly, without even looking at him: "It's as if the family depends on you for food. Let's ask the scorekeeper when we go to work today, who earns more work points, you or my mother. I still have the face to say that I am Head of the family, where did you go when there was no food at home? Where did you go when I was sick? Don’t forget, I caught this pheasant and it was roasted by Lixia and Xiaoman. If you have any objections, don’t eat it.”

Gu Dajiang stood up abruptly, making a gesture to lift the table, Xiao Yu screamed in fright: "Father, I won't eat chicken legs anymore."

Tian Sanhong also hurriedly advised him not to be impulsive.

Gu Lichun looked at Gu Dajiang coldly: "I think if you dare to overturn, if you dare to overturn the table, I will dare to overturn you."

Gu Dajiang stared at Gu Lichun, and suddenly said: "You beat Liu Qingshan, right? You said if I told the big guys about your beating me, what do you think will happen to you?"

Gu Lichun didn't care about his threats at all, and spread his hands together: "You just go and tell others, who will believe it? If you want Liu Qingshan to blackmail you, go ahead. Don't forget, you are the head of the family."

Li Xia and Li Dong looked at me and I looked at you, and instantly understood that Liu Qingshan was really beaten by his brother, it was too powerful.

Gu Lichun and Gu Dajiang confronted for a while, and finally, Gu Dajiang flung his sleeves and went back to the house in a fit of anger.Tian Sanhong first comforted Lichun, and then went to coax Gu Dajiang with a meal.

Gu Lichun said: "Mom, he likes to eat or not, don't spoil him."

Tian Sanhong said: "It's fine if you don't eat normally, but this is the autumn harvest, and you don't have the energy to earn work points if you don't eat." That's right, Gu Lichun didn't stop him either.

The meal was brought in, so Gu Dajiang should eat and drink.

After they finished their meal, it was getting dark, so Gu Lichun asked Lixia to go to the mistress's house to deliver chicken legs.

Regardless of adults or children, everyone was very tired. After eating, they cleaned up a little and went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next day, just before five o'clock, the work bell rang.It was only nine o'clock when morning work was over.After work, everyone goes home for breakfast.People in Gujia Village usually eat two meals, but they only eat three meals because of the physical exertion during the autumn harvest.

Xiao Man and Li Xia cooked the breakfast, and the surprise was that there were steamed stuffed buns in the breakfast.

"What did you two do?" Gu Lichun asked.

Xiaoman rushed to answer: "How can we make this, these are sent by the second grandma, there are ten in total, and they are still warm."

When eating, in addition to a zamian pancake for each person, they also shared an extra steamed stuffed bun, which was stuffed with oil residue, radish and vermicelli.The four children ate with a mouth full of oil, and their faces were full of happiness and contentment.There is a joyous atmosphere in the house.

Tian Sanhong boasted: "Your mistress' skills are really good, I have to learn from her tomorrow."

Everyone also praised the second wife's craftsmanship.

Unexpectedly, Gu Dajiang started to pour cold water on him again.

He said angrily: "What do you learn? If you don't cook well, you'll look like starving ghosts. If you cook delicious food, your family will have to eat poorer."

Tian Sanhong's interest was hit, so she had to lower her head to eat and stopped talking.

Gu Lichun frowned, as a foodie, he especially hated other people's influence on his enjoyment of food.

He stood up, dragged Gu Dajiang outside.Gu Dajiang froze for a moment, then shouted: "What do you want to do? Want to rebel?"

The others were also stunned.

Gu Lichun said: "I think it's better for you to eat elsewhere, it will affect your appetite."

While talking, the two had already left the main room.

Gu Dajiang wanted to break free, but Gu Lichun's hands held him tightly like pliers, Gu Dajiang was dragged into the west wing room, Lixia, a clever ghost, had already brought out Gu Dajiang's bowls, chopsticks and meals.

Gu Lichun put his things on the broken table in the room, turned around and came out, and even locked the door from the outside. He warned Gu Dajiang outside the door: "Eat well inside, we are all clean, and it will be like this from now on. You behave Okay, after the autumn harvest, I'll make you a drink, if you dare to make trouble, it's up to you, anyway, my hands are itchy too."

Gu Dajiang had originally planned to make a big fuss, but when he heard that there was wine to drink, he thought about what if the two of them really started fighting, like last time, he couldn't help being scared again.

Even so, Gu Dajiang still scolded sternly: "White-eyed wolf, you'd better keep your word, otherwise, I won't spare you."

Gu Lichun didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and left with a triumphant smile on his face.

Li Xia followed behind him, with a doggy smile on his face and said: "Brother, you are so powerful, I will hang out with you from now on."

Gu Lichun smiled without saying a word.

The two went back to eat, Xiaoman and Xiaoyu looked at Gu Lichun with admiration, Tian Sanhong also looked at him, but hesitated to speak.

Gu Lichun explained: "Mother, if you are not happy when you eat, you will get stomach problems. If you eat together, he will not be happy, and we will not be happy either. From now on, let's do it this way. I told him that the meals are eaten separately, and the amount is not enough. It will be less."

For a person like Gu Dajiang, Gu Lichun can't wait to throw it into the trash now, but the current reality does not allow it. He plans to endure it for a few more years, and wait until the reform and opening up. If he is still like this, Tian Sanhong's ideological work can be done If it worked out, he would divorce the two.

The autumn harvest was still going on, and he was still as tired as before, but Gu Lichun was numb to it.

When he came back from work at noon, Gu Lichun happened to see Second Grandma walking slowly with a bundle of firewood on her back. Her back was so bent and she was thin and thin. The bundle of firewood was pressing on her like a mountain.

Gu Lixia hurried over and said distressedly: "Mistress, why don't you call us if you have work? Come, give it to me."

Second Grandma Gu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not heavy, and I can carry it on my back."

However, she didn't insist and unloaded the things to Gu Lichun.

The two talked while walking, and when they met people on the road, they greeted each other.

Some people also said: "Hey, Lichun is helping your mistress, he is really a filial child."

When I was about to get home, I saw Aunt Zuo, the neighbor of the second grandma's house. Aunt Zuo was surprised when she saw Gu Lichun. The family scolded you?"

Gu Dajiang was not on good terms with the second grandma. Since he got married and moved away, the two families had very little contact with each other, but the second grandma, Tian Sanhong and a few children were on good terms, but Gu Dajiang refused to let them communicate. Beat and scold him when he helps Second Mistress with work.This is something everyone in the village knows.

Although Gu Lichun didn't want to see this adoptive father, but in the eyes of outsiders, they were a family, so they had to be maintained.

Gu Lichun pondered for a while, and a well-behaved and harmless smile appeared on his face: "Madam Zuo, look at what you said, isn't it right for me to help Second Mistress with work? Why is my father scolding me? I know, my father used to I had a little misunderstanding with my mistress, and I talked back a few times, isn’t that normal? I remember that Uncle Jianshe often talked back to you, and I didn’t see your grandson ignoring you. Are you right?” Zhao Jianshe is the eldest son of Aunt Zuo , he is more upright, he can't understand his old lady's bad mouth, and has quarreled with her many times.Everyone knows this.

When Aunt Zuo heard Gu Lichun mention this, she felt a little embarrassed, can she say it's wrong?

Gu Lichun has already spoken out, and he doesn't want to offend her too much. A villain like Mrs. Zuo who is not very harmful, don't offend if you can, and sometimes you can use it. Like last time, she helped I am quite busy.

When Gu Lichun said this, he changed the subject, "By the way, Aunt Zuo, I haven't asked you yet. How is Liu Qingshan these days? Has that woman been caught?"

When Aunt Zuo heard Gu Lichun mentioning her old profession, her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she immediately started talking about the latest news with joy.

"Let me tell you, this matter is under pressure. If it weren't for the busy autumn harvest, it would have started. I heard that his wife already has several suspects. One is Zhao Caixia, a widow from the next village, and the other is Wang Chunyan. My cousin, Wang Chunxiang, and another whose name I haven't found out yet. However, these two women are well-known pungent, and neither of them is a good stubble, so this show will be good."

Gu Lichun: "..."

He thought for a while, and tentatively said: "That is to say, in fact, it is possible that Liu Qingshan was beaten by the men of these women?"

Aunt Zuo slapped her thigh and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, I think so too."

If we continue to chat, Aunt Zuo will be in trouble if she feels sorry for her.

Gu Lichun immediately stopped: "Mother Zuo, actually I don't really care who Liu Qingshan is with. After all, I'm only a child. I just want to know who beat him. I'm afraid he will blackmail me again."

Aunt Zuo understood, "Don't worry, when the person who beat him is found, Madam Zuo will tell you."

Gu Lichun hurriedly left, and carried firewood into the yard of the second grandmother's house.

Second Mistress looked at Gu Lichun with a smile, and said, "Lichun, why do I think you've become smarter?"

Gu Lichun said: "Mistress, don't tell me, last time I had a high fever, I felt that the paste in my brain was dried up, and I was enlightened."

The second grandma also laughed, but Gu Lichun was not stupid before. Although he didn't say anything, he understood everything in his heart and his grades were good in school.Besides, it's normal for a child of his age to have personality changes, and Second Mistress didn't doubt him much.

Gu Lichun put down the firewood and went to fetch water again, filling up the water tank before leaving.Before leaving, Second Mistress forced a pack of snacks.

"This is a snack that your aunt sent from the city. It was originally planned to be given to you during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It just so happens that you are here, so take it back."

Gu Lichun didn't want it at first, but thought that she was sincere, so he accepted it.

Second Mistress thought about it, but still told her, "Don't let your father know."

Gu Dajiang went to the second master's house with resentment at the beginning, because he was not his own, and the second master and mistress couldn't manage too hard, but it also made him develop a selfish, lazy character. His daughter, Gu Hongyu, also didn't get along with each other, and said, "I'm not my biological parents after all, you abused me."

When Gu Hongyu sent things home, Second Grandma would give them some at first, but Gu Dajiang was not only ungrateful, but also disliked Second Grandma for giving too little.For a while, he ate, drank and gambled outside. If he had no money, he would ask Second Mistress for it. If Second Mistress refused to give it, he would curse and say all kinds of nasty things. Knowing that, he had a big fight with Gu Dajiang, and the two completely tore apart their faces.

Thinking of this scumbag father, Gu Lichun had a headache, so he could only say: "Mistress, my father is much more honest now, you don't have to worry about him looking for trouble, if you have any job in the future, you can call me or Li Xia Li Dong."

Second Mistress said with a look of relief: "Okay, you will also come to Mi Mistress's house to play often in the future."

Gu Lichun returned home and distributed the things to his younger siblings.A total of ten candies, six pieces of glutinous rice sticks.

Gu Lichun gave two candies to each of his younger siblings, one for himself, and one for Tian Sanhong, and one piece of rice sticks for each of them.Although he is not very interested in these things, he can't let his brothers and sisters get into the habit of thinking that the delicious food should be theirs.He is not interested in being the kind of dedicated big brother.

The four little ones were overjoyed when they got the snacks.

Tian Sanhong insisted on not eating it, but Xiaoman stuffed it into her mouth: "Mother, you should try it too."

"You child." Tian Sanhong blamed her, but there was more smile on her face.

Gu Lichun took the opportunity to say: "Second Grandma raised our father, she is our real grandma. In the future, you will go there more when you have time, and help out if you have work. If Dad dares to say anything, just tell me."

Several children agreed in unison.

Thinking of Gu Hongyu, Gu Lichun asked Tian Sanhong, "Mother, what do you think of my aunt?"

Tian Sanhong didn't react for a while, and asked instead: "Who are you talking about?"

Gu Lichun hurriedly said, "It's Aunt Hongyu from the Second Grandma's family."
