Counterattack in the chronology

When Gu Lichun came back after seeing off Deng Chang, the guests at the cadre's table came to say goodbye to him one after another.They had almost finished eating, and the two big leaders had gone home, so it was time for them to go back.

Gu Lichun and Tian Sanhong got up to see them off. Elder Sister Bai said, "Xiao Gu, Lao Zhao is drunk, you go back to greet the guests and leave us alone."

Section Chief Zhang said with a smile: "I was planning to have a few more drinks with Lao Zhao, but I didn't expect him to collapse first. Haha."

After Gu Lichun sent everyone away, he came back and continued to greet the guests. The women and children had finished eating, and only a few tables of men were still drinking and bragging.

Gu Lichun and Tian Sanhong went to grandma's table, which was relatively small, and only the Tian family, Tian Hongjun, aunt, and Gu Lichun's cousin Tian Xiaogang, cousin Tian Xiaozhen, and cousin Tian Xiaohu sat.

Grandma Tian felt sorry for her daughter and grandson, so she hurriedly filled them with food and said, "You two are patronizing to entertain the leaders and guests, and you haven't eaten much yet, so hurry up and eat."

Although Gu Lichun wasn't very hungry, he still took two mouthfuls of the food his grandma handed over.

With a smile on her face, Grandma Tian took Tian Sanhong's hand and said with emotion: "I am so happy today, this time I will definitely not marry the wrong one, Zhijun is a good man."

Tian Hongjun smiled and said, "I think so too. I have met him before, and he is quite nice."

The aunt pulled Gu Lichun and said: "Lichun, thanks to you pulling your uncle, we never dreamed that he would be able to become a full-time member. Our family depends on you to live a good life."

Tian Xiaogang and Tian Xiaozhen also looked at Gu Lichun with admiration: "Lichun, you are so amazing. You are younger than us, and you have become section chiefs."

Gu Lichun smiled: "We happen to be short of people for five games, and this is the selection of generals from among the dwarfs to make up the number."

Tian Hongjun said: "It's because of his humility. You two should learn from your cousin in the future. Our Lichun can become a general even if he is tall. Everyone doesn't know that he is capable."

Everyone laughed together.

They talked for a while and took a few mouthfuls of food. Gu Lichun and Tian Sanhong got up again and continued to entertain the guests. Some guests wanted to come over to say hello before leaving after eating, and some people pulled Tian Sanhong to chat.

The guests left again, and Zhao Gao's mother and others took the initiative to stay to help clean up the tables, chairs, dishes, and wash the dishes.

The same is true for the employees of the pig farm. After eating, they quickly pack up their things, and the children of the two families also run around to help.

There were not many leftovers on the table. Tian Sanhong sorted and packed all kinds of leftovers, and shared some with neighbors who came to help or those who borrowed tables, chairs, dishes, and chopsticks. Everyone happily accepted them.

Tian Guiying proposed to go back, and Tian Sanhong packed some leftovers for her and Aunt Zuo, and she kept the second grandma to stay. When the second grandma saw that Grandma Tian's family had come, it would be inconvenient for her to stay by herself, and it would be inconvenient when she left. I had to trouble Lichun to send her off, so I said: "We borrowed a donkey cart, it's convenient to go back, I'll go back with them, and come back next time."

Seeing that she insisted on leaving, Tian Sanhong couldn't stay any longer, so she packed some things for her, and Gu Lichun sent them out of the farm.

When Gu Lichun came back, Zhao Zhijun had already woken up and was packing his things.

He yawned and said, "Old Deng cheated on me. If I hadn't drunk half of it, he wouldn't be my opponent at all."

Gu Lichun didn't know what to say.

After they returned all the borrowed tables, chairs and benches and cleaned the road, everyone went home to have a rest, all of them slumped on the chairs from exhaustion and did not want to move.

Only Zhao Minghua and Xiao Yu were still full of energy, running around the house.The two also took the initiative to beat Gu Lichun's back and legs, Ming Hua was in charge of beating his back, and Xiao Yu was in charge of beating his legs.

Zhao Minghua also thoughtfully asked Gu Lichun: "Brother, do you want to beat hard or lightly?"

Gu Lichun half-closed his eyes to enjoy the service of the two, and lazily replied: "Take it hard."

Looking at this scene, Zhao Zhijun seemed to be jealous, and spoke sourly: "Minghua, you haven't beat my back, have you?"

Zhao Minghua thought so, so he had no choice but to run over and give Zhao Zhijun a few symbolic thumps, and then run back to continue beating Gu Lichun.

Zhao Zhijun snorted dissatisfied.

Gu Lichun: "..." Do men become childish when they are drunk?The answer is yes.

Grandma Tian made dinner, green vegetables and egg noodles, and the leftovers at noon. Everyone had a poor appetite, so they ate a bowl of noodles casually, and then went back to their rooms. Tian Sanhong went to Zhao's house, and Grandma Tian's family and Gu The Lichun brothers and sisters stayed at home.

The next day, Gu Lichun and Zhao Zhijun went to work together.

Everyone must tease Zhao Zhijun behind Gu Lichun's back: "Old Zhao, you have worked hard, and you are tired."

Gu Lichun went to the office of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department first, arranged the work, and then went to the Dengchang office. He had to ask about today's work arrangement, and by the way, he mentioned the matter of Liang being the deputy section chief.

Deng Chang's spirit was actually good, and the effect of the hangover was basically not visible.Gu Lichun replayed the game, and felt that the reason why Deng Chang was like this was that he was stimulated by Secretary Zhu saying that he was a bachelor, of course, it may also be stimulated by watching Zhao Zhijun get married for the second time, coupled with the effect of alcohol, his mind was a bit fragmented , just say that.

Seeing his calm and normal appearance again, Gu Lichun guessed that he should have forgotten what he said yesterday, it's good to forget, and he forgot too.Everyone is still a good leader and a good subordinate.

The two were discussing work matters as if nothing had happened.

Gu Lichun carefully wrote down the work arrangement, and mentioned the matter of Officer Liang by the way. Deng Zhang had no objection: "This person is capable of handling affairs, diligent and dedicated."

Then, Gu Lichun went to Secretary Zhu to report on his work, and saw that he was tired and out of spirits.He couldn't help but secretly sighed, just like this, he dared to compete with Deng Zhang for wine yesterday, he really couldn't think about it.

After reporting the work, Gu Lichun went back to the office and didn't tell Clerk Liang what he was going to do. He didn't know if it would pass, so don't let people have a good time, let's wait for the results to come out.

After Gu Lichun explained the work, he took Zhao Gao to the field.

He first went to the straw weaving factory to see that his uncle's family was here today. Gu Lichun was surprised to find that his grandma, aunt, and cousin could weave things, and their craftsmanship was very good, especially the cousin, who wove things very delicate and beautiful.

He boasted, "Miss Xiaozhen, your skills are really good."

Tian Xiaozhen smiled embarrassingly: "I learned from my dad when I was young, and I made it up."

Gu Lichun smiled and said: "Anyway, there is nothing to do at home, so you can stay for a few more days." Gu Lichun asked about their family arrangements by the way, and he felt more relieved when he learned that there were relatives who came to help them look after the house.

After patrolling the straw weaving factory, he went to the pig farm again.

This litter of pigs has been raised for almost a year, and all of them are too fat to walk.The pigsty was cleaned very clean and there was no peculiar smell. Because they were always fed fermented feed, the whole pig farm smelled like alcohol.

Meng Nianqun is still experimenting with fermenting reeds and hay in distiller's koji tanks.

Gu Lichun looked at the bottles and cans that filled the room. There were various wine tanks and koji inside, and piles of reed leaves, hay, alfalfa, wheat straw, straw, etc. were piled up on the ground.

He lowered his head and sniffed the fermented feed, some were sour, some had a fruity scent, and some had a sweet scent.

Meng Nianqun pointed to these things and said: "Currently, the green vegetables, green grass, and alfalfa in the experiment have the best effect. However, pigs like to eat these things even if they are not fermented. The key is to use hay, reed leaves, wheat straw, straw and other fermentation experiments. , These things are everywhere, so it’s better to preserve them.”

Gu Lichun said: "I forgot which book I read. It seems that the fermentation effect of distiller's yeast made from wheat bran and rice bran is good. Why don't you try it."

Meng Nianqun picked up his notebook and wrote it down, "Okay, I'll try."

Gu Lichun strolled to the door, saw that there was no one outside, then turned his head to look at Meng Nianqun and asked, "Uncle is still in the prison in Beihe Province, your mother and the eldest brother are in the labor reform farm in Qinghai, what about the second cousin? Is it in the poorhouse? Is your third aunt in the capital or somewhere?"

Gu Lichun understands that Meng Anjing's good intentions are to keep him away from these struggles, but there is a saying that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.Once some struggles start, it is impossible to unilaterally seek a truce.He doesn't like to be passive, and the more he knows about the situation, the more likely he is to take the initiative.Since the gap cannot be opened from Meng Anjing, let's start from Meng Nianqun in another direction.

Although Meng Nianqun also had scheming and determination, due to his age and experience, he was much easier to deal with than his father.

Gu Lichun's series of questions stunned Meng Nianqun, he was stunned for a while, and then he calmed down and replied in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Chief Gu, I can't answer these questions."

Gu Lichun stared into Meng Nianqun's eyes and asked back, "Don't I have the right to know this?"

Meng Nianqun hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, you have the right—but it's not necessary. I hope you can understand my father's painstaking efforts."

Gu Lichun changed his tone and said, "Nian Qun, I can't say that your father's approach is wrong. Their older generation always advocates patience. That's right, most of the time, this is a kind of survival wisdom. But if you think about it, you have to endure this situation. But I am different from you, I am free, and they still don’t know my identity, the enemy is in the open, I am in the dark, and I can do many things.”

Meng Nianqun lowered his head and murmured, "No, it's too dangerous."

Gu Lichun was persuasive: "In this day and age, we are all in danger. But we can't just do nothing just because of the danger. I don't like to wait for death."

Meng Nianqun remained silent.

Gu Lichun said again: "If you tell me everything, or just a part of it, I can do a lot of things, such as supporting my family with you, at least making them live better."

Meng Nianqun raised his head and said with a forced smile: "Lichun, do you know what my father said? He said that you have not enjoyed the glory and blessing of the family for a day, but you have to bear an unbearable burden. This is unfair to you. Our family It is right for other people to bear this bad luck, but you are different. You have suffered for so many years outside, we don’t even know that you are still alive. You have suffered for more than ten years, you shouldn’t Take on another hardship. It is enough for you to live your own life well. You have helped us enough. My father and I are much better than before. I work in the cooking class, and I can save a ration and help my father .You also helped me get a salary that can be used to support the rest of the family. That's enough."

After hearing what Meng Nianqun said, Gu Lichun felt thoughtful.He had also considered the issue of the original owner's biological parents before. What would happen if the original owner's biological parents came to find him one day?His plan at the time was that if the other party abandoned him because of physical reasons, then he would treat the other party as a stranger and would not even give him a glance; bother.He didn't expect this to be the case of the Meng family. Judging from the personalities of Meng Nianqun and Meng Anjing, the Meng family has a good family tradition. At first, for his safety, they firmly denied his background; He asked for help without even a hint.This kind of people, even if they are not related to him by blood, within his ability, he will reach out to give them a hand.

Out of emotion and reason, Gu Lichun had to find a way to pry Meng Nianqun's mouth open and open his heart for their own sake.

Since knowing it with reason is not enough, then move it with emotion.

Gu Lichun pondered for a while, then pretended to be excited and said: "Yes, from your standpoint, it is right for you to do this, it is for my sake. But, have you ever thought about my feelings? Have you ever experienced the kind of relatives who Have you ever experienced the pain and contradiction of not being able to recognize each other in front of you? Have you ever experienced the discomfort of knowing that your biological parents are still there, but you can’t ask anything? Do you think that after I know my life experience, I can still be the same as before? ?”

Gu Lichun's barrage of questions made Meng Nianqun retreat steadily.

Meng Nianqun looked at Gu Lichun at a loss: "I'm sorry, I haven't experienced it." Yes, he didn't seem to think about this issue from the other party's standpoint.

Seeing that his method had worked, Gu Lichun calmed down and continued to reason with Meng Nianqun: "Your father once told me that he wanted me to keep the fire, but he never thought that my fire is in the wild, surrounded by There is always wind, and we don’t even know which direction the wind is blowing from. We look so much alike and have been exposed to others. My exposure will happen sooner or later. Don’t have illusions. I have to make arrangements in advance and prepare to fight.”

Meng Nianqun stared blankly at Gu Lichun: "Is it useless if we refuse to admit it?"

Gu Lichun smiled lightly: "It's useful, why is it useless? You have at least bought me time. Then tell me about the situation at home, and buy me some more time."

Meng Nianqun was still struggling: "I promised my father not to say anything."

Gu Lichun sighed, and said in a disappointed tone of hating iron but not steel: "Meng Nianqun, how old are you this year? You are an adult man with independent personality. You can't listen to your father for everything. You should have your own judgment."

Meng Nianqun hesitated for a long time, but in the end he couldn't resist Gu Lichun's offensive.

"Okay, let me tell you about your family." He opened his mouth with difficulty.

Gu Lichun continued to encourage him: "Okay, just tell me about my family's situation, and I'll talk about the rest later." I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I have to do things step by step.

"...Your name is Meng Zhuoqun. You are the only child of my third uncle and my aunt. My third uncle used to be a teacher at Dongdae University, and my third aunt used to work in the school. My third uncle...is no longer here, but my third aunt is still here. When she was born with you, her body was severely damaged, and then you lost her again. Her body and mind were severely injured, and her spirit was up and down, but she escaped the fate of being sent to a labor camp. Haoshi does odd jobs on the street, picks up scraps to make ends meet, and she has an adopted girl and her sister’s child with her, and her sister is also in Longjiang labor camp... Our two families used to be in the provincial capital, and my uncle’s family was in the capital. "

Having said this, Meng Nianqun suddenly stopped: "I can only tell you so much."

Gu Lichun remained silent until Meng Nianqun felt uneasy, so he said: "Okay, I understand. Don't tell your father about this. This is a secret between us."

Meng Nianqun nodded emphatically, it was all he could do now.

Gu Lichun was about to say something when suddenly someone shouted outside the door: "Brother Gu, Brother Gu."

Gu Lichun hurriedly went out to find out what happened, and the person looking for him was Sun Houyu, as soon as Sun Houyu saw Gu Lichun, he said: "I just heard that you came to the pig farm, and you searched around but found no one, but you hid here. "

Gu Lichun asked: "What's the matter?"

Sun Houyu looked puzzled: "Brother Gu, there is something wrong. It's that blond. Some people say that he used power to coerce female educated youths to have sex with him."

Gu Lichun's heart skipped a beat, what he was worried about happened.

He immediately entered the working state, turned to Meng Nianqun and said, "I'm going to work, and the experiment will be discussed another day."

Meng Nianqun: "Okay, Chief Gu, you are busy with your work."

As Gu Lichun walked out, he asked Sun Houyu: "What's the name of that female educated youth? You go and call Jinfa to my office now." If such a thing really happened, he could consider confiscating the other party's tools.

Sun Houyu said: "That female educated youth is Guo Hongmei, I'll call Jinfa over now."
