Counterattack in the chronology

Gu Lichun was surprised: "Chen Jie came back so early?"

Sun Houyu said with a smile: "Yes, she said she missed us all, and she is in the canteen of the pig farm right now. Let's go and have a look."

The three hurried over.

When they arrived at the entrance of the canteen of the pig farm, they heard a burst of laughter from inside.Chen Jie was joking with Xiaokang, Zhao Gao, Wu Fat and Guo Hongmei.

As soon as the three of Gu Lichun came in, everyone greeted them warmly: "Brother Gu, Happy Chinese New Year, do you have any red envelopes?"

Gu Lichun: "It's a good idea, no."

Chen Jie turned her face and said with a smile: "Brother Gu, everyone has gained weight during the Chinese New Year, why are you still like that? You have to keep pace with the people."

Gu Lichun glanced at the radiant Chen Jie, guessing that she must have had a good Spring Festival, Meng Nianqun glanced at Chen Jie, then quickly looked away.

Gu Lichun said with a smile: "They all grow horizontally, but I grow vertically."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Gu Lichun asked Chen Jie how this year was, and Chen Jie replied with a smile: "Very good, it has never been as harmonious as this year. Thanks to you, I have been studying with you this year, and I practiced it when I got home. It works." Especially after learning to tease people subtly and calmly, the whole person feels refreshed.The most important thing is that she also discovered a truth: the more you are able to hate people, the more polite people are to you.She used to be considerate of others, but no one ever considered herself.

Guo Hongmei echoed: "That's for sure, as long as you learn from Brother Gu with your heart, many difficulties will be easily solved."

This statement was approved by everyone present.

Gu Lichun: "..."

Chen Jie saw Gu Lichun's strange expression, and said, "Everyone is here, I'm going to start giving gifts."

The big guys gathered around with a cry, their eyes were shining brightly, staring at Chen Jie's big luggage bag.

The first gift belonged to Gu Lichun, and Chen Jie handed him a heavy army green cloth bag directly: "Brother Gu, this belongs to your family, yours, Aunt Tian's, and Xiaoman Xiaoyu's."

Gu Lichun was startled by Chen Jie's generosity, and said, "It's enough to make a point, I'm sorry for so many gifts."

Chen Jie said with a smile: "Hurry up and put it away, if you are embarrassed, the big guys behind will also be embarrassed to take it."

Wu Fat said: "That's right, Brother Gu, please accept it quickly, if you don't like it, give me more."

Zhao Gao couldn't help but give Wu Pang a blank look, the thought was really beautiful.Gu Lichun accepted it with a smile.

Chen Jie then distributed presents to everyone. The others had similar things, mostly snacks and snacks from the capital, biscuits, chocolate, peach blossom cakes, white rabbit toffee, sauced meat, twists and so on.

Wu Pang received a pile of food, and his whole face was beaming with smiles, and Meng Nianqun also got a share.

After distributing the gifts, Chen Jie talked to everyone for a while, then got up and went back to the dormitory. Wu Pang and Zhao Gao helped her carry her luggage to the dormitory.

Gu Lichun looked at his watch, it was past three o'clock, and it was time for him to go home.

Meng Nianqun sent him out of the pig farm and walked to a secluded place. He continued what he had just said: "Anyway, you should pay special attention to the list written in black pen. Try to avoid them and don't mess with them." .In addition to Wang Nianmu, there is also a man named Hu Chao.”

When Meng Nianqun mentioned this name, he couldn't control his emotions: "He used to be a student of my third uncle. My third uncle took pity on his poor family and often supported him. Later, I found out that he was poor and spendthrift, with a very bad style. He had a fiancée at home and cheated on his female classmate's feelings. The cheated female classmate reported him to the school, and he was punished by the school and ordered to drop out. He begged his third uncle to intercede for him, but he held a grudge when his third uncle refused. When Uncle was raped, he did the most and was the worst. I hate this man to death, Third Uncle is his mentor, and he even repays his kindness, more ruthlessly than others."

Gu Lichun's mood also had ups and downs, but he was not as excited as Meng Liqun. He comforted Meng Nianqun in a gentle voice, "It's okay, these people are grasshoppers after autumn, and they won't be able to jump for a few days. I will find a way to arrange an ending for them. I don't know whether the heaven will spare them or not, anyway, I will not spare them."

Meng Nianqun calmed down, and said, "No hurry, we have to wait for the time, when the time comes, we will deal with them together."

Gu Lichun said: "I will keep this list carefully. I won't be able to go there for a while. If you have anything to add, please let me know."

After the two finished talking, they tied the gift from Chen Jie to the back seat of the bicycle, and rode away on the bicycle.

Back home, when the brothers and sisters heard that Chen Jie was back and brought delicious food, they all surrounded him and looked at him expectantly.

Gu Lichun distributed gifts to everyone: "This handkerchief and hairpin belong to Xiaoyu and Xiaoman, and this gauze scarf should belong to my mother. You can share this bag of white rabbit candies and red shrimp cakes. This cream is also our mother's." .”

In addition to these, there are sauced meat, sausage and canned sugar water. Gu Lichun handed these to Tian Sanhong to put them away.

Tian Sanhong saw so many gifts, and said: "Xiao Chen is too generous, it's not easy to carry so many things all the way."

She then asked: "By the way, didn't you tell Chen Jie to let her come to our house for dinner?"

Gu Lichun said: "I didn't say it, we'll talk about it next time we see you."

Tian Sanhong said: "Actually, it's best to say today, treat guests tomorrow, and we should go to work the day after tomorrow on the sixth day of the day."

Gu Lichun saw that there were a lot of things in the living room and asked what happened.

Gu Hongyu came out and said, "When you went out today, we went back to the village with you, Uncle Zhao, and moved. We brought your second grandma's things here."

Gu Lichun smiled and said: "It's just right, let's clean up together later."

Gu Hongyu's family will go back to the city tomorrow, and they have to go to work on the sixth day.

When they heard that they were leaving, everyone was very sad, especially Yang Zhuzhu, who had teary eyes when saying goodbye to his friends.

Lu Mingfei and Xiaoyu took her hand from left to right, and comforted her: "Don't cry, summer vacation will be in a few months, and you can come again."

Here, the Second Mistress held Gu Hongyu's hand, urging left and right.

Gu Hongyu said: "Mother, you have to take good care of yourself. Aiguo and I will try our best to come back to see you whenever we have a vacation. I don't worry that you are here with my sister-in-law. If there is anything wrong, just ask Lichun to call us, don't hide anything. "

Second Mistress wiped the corners of her eyes and nodded frequently.

Because the Yang family was leaving tomorrow, Zhao Zhijun called Li Guangtian's family over for dinner and asked them to say goodbye.

Needless to say, the dinner was rich and lively.The three of them, Zhao Zhijun, Li Guangtian, and Yang Aiguo, drank and chatted together.

Gu Lichun talked with Yang Zhonghua and Li Shu together, and Li Shu also became much more talkative, chatting with Yang Zhonghua very enthusiastically.

Li Shu asked Gu Lichun: "Brother Gu, are you still studying at night school?"

Gu Lichun said: "It's still there. Now that the curriculum has been changed, I go to class two nights a week, and I can graduate next year."

Li Shudao: "One of my elementary school classmates also plans to go to night school." He asked Gu Lichun about the details of the registration exam, and Gu Lichun answered every question.

Everyone ate to their heart's content and chatted even more happily, and they didn't leave until 09:30 in the evening.

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Lichun rented a tractor and took his family of four to the county seat.

After seeing off his aunt's family, Gu Lichun came back suddenly with a tractor, and picked up a few visiting relatives along the way.

Back at the farm, he returned the tractor to the agricultural machinery station, and then rode his bicycle home.

As soon as I entered the house, I found that there were visitors again. The people who came were Chen Jie, Guo Hongmei and Zhang Pan.

Chen Jie was showing everyone the photos she took back home, Xiaoman looked enviously: "I will go to the capital in the future, this is really awesome, I will wear a cadre uniform and stand in front of the tower to take pictures."

Several other children also looked forward to it.

Gu Lichun smiled and said: "I want to go, I will take you to play when I have a chance in the future, let's go to the Forbidden City and climb the Great Wall."

Gu Lichun spent several years in the imperial capital in his previous life, but he didn't like it very much. He felt that the air was bad, the roads were congested, and the subway never stopped.However, the imperial capital of this era is definitely not crowded, so it's good to go and have a look.

As soon as Gu Lichun's words fell, Xiaoyu Minghua ran over with a thud, and hung himself up with him with a serious face, which would remain unchanged for 100 years.

Everyone looked at these two lovely children and couldn't help laughing.

Today is broken five, and the year after broken five is officially over.

The custom on the farm is to eat dumplings at Powu, but the dumpling skin has to be boiled.The custom of their Gu family village is to eat noodles, which is said to make up for a year's deficit and holes.

Just dozens of miles apart, the customs are different.

Tian Sanhong thought about cooking both dumplings and noodles.

Dumplings are stuffed with pork and cabbage, noodles are cooked in chicken broth, and a few side dishes are added to entertain guests.

Zhang Pan and Guo Hongmei also helped make dumplings together, and Chen Jie also planned to help out. When she remembered that she still had something to say, she got up and said, "Brother Gu, I'm going to work tomorrow, and I have some work-related questions I want to ask you for advice." one time."

Gu Lichun understood: "That's fine, you come with me."

Chen Jie followed Gu Lichun into the study, and as soon as Chen Jie sat down, she said, "Brother Gu, I went back and inquired about Jiang Mu, and he was targeted by the Jiang family's enemies, first he accidentally fell into the school's pond, Then he was hit on the head by a prop at the New Year’s Eve party, and he was injured a little bit badly, and he was still awake when I came back. I don’t think he will pose any threat to us.”

Gu Lichun nodded: "Then leave him alone for now."

Chen Jie considered for a while, and then said: "Also, I don't have much information about the Meng family. At present, I only know that Meng Anhua is still in prison. His wife and eldest son are in Qinghai, and the whereabouts of the second son is unknown."

Gu Lichun said: "It's okay, that's enough, I'll trouble you."

Chen Jie smiled and said, "What's the point of being polite between us?"

The two talked for a while in the study, and Tian Sanhong called them out for dinner.

Gu Lichun only ate a bowl of chicken noodle soup and a few dumplings before he was full.Zhao Zhijun mercilessly ridiculed his appetite again.

Gu Lichun was speechless. With two big eaters at home, it seemed that he was not very active in eating.

After eating, the three of Chen Jie sat in Gu's house for a while before taking their leave.

The second grandma watched the three of them off, and said to Gu Lichun with a smile: "Xiao Chen is a really nice girl, I really like her more and more. I don't think it doesn't matter how old the woman is. As the saying goes, a third-year girl holds a golden brick , what do you say?"

Gu Lichun glanced at Second Grandma in surprise, must this be a misunderstanding?He quickly clarified: "Second Mistress, I don't have any other thoughts about Chen Jie. The relationship between us is pure comrades and friends. Don't think about it."

Second Mistress stared at Gu Lichun and asked, "You really don't have any thoughts?"

Gu Lichun's attitude was firm: "Really not."

The second grandma asked again: "Then tell grandma, what do you like? I'll help you find out."

Gu Lichun blurted out: "I don't like anything."

Having said that, he quickly added: "The main reason is that I am still young and I want to focus on work."

Second Mistress sighed regretfully: "You were enlightened very early in other aspects, why did you become enlightened in this aspect so late?"

Gu Lichun told the second grandma again: "Second grandma, if Chen Jie comes to our house again in the future, don't mention it. She doesn't think so. If you mention it, it will be embarrassing for us to meet in the future. Besides, if it gets out , it's not good for Chen Jie's reputation."

Of course Second Mistress understood this truth, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I won't mention it."

After five years, the annual leave is over, and it's time to go to work.

On the first day of work, everyone obviously hasn't recovered their thoughts, laughing and joking with each other.There are also people who visit and chatter everywhere, and their department also welcomes several batches of visitors.

There are not only those who drop by, but also those who chat on the phone.

One of them was a call from a comrade in the capital, and the voice sounded like a serious middle-aged man.

Gu Lichun was a little puzzled, so he had to say politely: "Hello comrade, this is the office of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department of Honghe Farm. He used the habit of "you", but he knew that people in the capital liked to call him that, so he changed it casually.

The other party was silent for a moment, and said, "Comrade Gu Lichun, your Mandarin is very standard."

Gu Lichun: "..." You came here just to praise my Mandarin?

On the other hand, he quickly reported his family name: "Comrade Gu, my surname is Chen. You can call me Old Chen. I am Chen Jie's father. I want to know something about my daughter's work and life on the farm."

Gu Lichun was stunned at first, and then thought, no, shouldn't Chen Jie's father call the party committee office?

He said politely: "Hello, Comrade Chen, Chen Jie is from the party committee office. Should I call you or ask her to come over and answer the phone?"

Old Chen didn't choose any of them, so he chatted with Gu Lichun, starting from Chen Jie's situation on the farm, chatting with him about current affairs, agriculture, and the revolutionary situation.

Gu Lichun's intuition was even more wrong. A person like Chen's father should not lose everything, and it was even more impossible to have a long-distance chat when he had nothing to do.The only explanation is that Chen Jie may have accidentally mentioned his name after returning home, causing her father to misunderstand.But he was worried, so he interviewed him by phone.

This is how to do?He had to get the other party to clear up the misunderstanding in a clever and polite way.

Gu Lichun's mind was spinning rapidly, his attitude was polite, and there was a hint of respect in his tone: "...Uncle Chen, my friends and I always heard Chen Jie mentioning you, saying that you participated in the competition at a young age. He joined the army and withstood harsh tests. He is a solid revolutionary soldier. There is no one among us boys who does not yearn for it. Although we have not met, we have a long-standing friendship. I am also very excited to chat with you on the phone."

While Gu Lichun said these things, he skillfully revealed the details he could reveal, such as how old he is this year and how his family is; another example is that he wants to put the revolutionary cause first and fight for the cause of communism all his life. Taking into account the relationship between men and women and so on.

When he finished talking about his own situation, he praised Chen Jie by the way: "Comrade Chen Jie deserves to be a descendant of revolutionary soldiers. She is low-key and calm, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, resolute and strong, with excellent ideological and political qualities, and high awareness. When I first came to the farm, I always rushed to the front of the work. After working, I still insisted on studying and studying; Secretary Zhu of our party committee valued her ability and political literacy, and promoted her to be secretary of the party committee office. Dedicated to work. Uncle Chen, our Wuchang cadres thank you for cultivating such a good comrade for us."

As Chen Jie's father listened, his tone of voice involuntarily became gentler.Although he had never seen a real person, he felt that this young man was good.He learned about his daughter's work situation and inquired about the news he wanted, so he happily ended the conversation with Gu Lichun.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Lichun was so tired that it was ridiculous to have a phone interview right after work.

After Gu Lichun hung up the phone, he couldn't help complaining to Zhao Gao and Lao Liang: "Do you think this world is amazing? Someone is thinking about me thousands of miles away."

Zhao Gao and Lao Liang unexpectedly did not answer the conversation.

Gu Lichun looked at the two of them, especially Zhao Gao, and felt a little strange, so he joked, "Zhao Gao, you left your mouth at home to eat dumplings and didn't you bring them?"

Zhao Gao winked at him desperately, Gu Lichun turned his head to look outside, and it turned out that Deng Chang was standing outside the office door.

Gu Lichun hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Deng Zhang, why don't you come in when you're here?"

Deng Chang: "Don't go in, the air outside is good. ——Come to my office."

"Okay, I'll pack up and go right away."

Deng Chang nodded at him, turned and left.

Gu Lichun turned back to his desk, packed up the documents and said, "You two are really serious, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Lao Liang said: "I'll ask Deng Chang to come in, but if he doesn't come in, he just waits outside for a while. Who knew you chatted for so long, it's a long distance."

Gu Lichun took the documents and materials and obediently went to Deng Chang's office.

As soon as he entered, he first explained: "The call just now was from Chen Jie's father. He wanted to know about Chen Jie's work and life from the side. Say a few more words."

Deng Chang said in a low voice: "Is it to test you with a phone call?"

Gu Lichun: "Deng Chang, you not only have sharp eyes, but also sharp hearing."

Deng Chang snorted, "It's good, there are people who are thinking about it thousands of miles away."

Gu Lichun hastily and cleverly changed the subject: "What work will Deng Chang arrange?"

Deng Chang was not distracted by Gu Lichun at this time, he continued to ask the last question: "Listen to your answer later, are you hiding something or playing hard to get?"

Gu Lichun: "..."

Gu Lichun felt that Deng Chang seemed to have misunderstood him and Chen Jie, so he could only explain: "Deng Chang, Comrade Chen Jie and I really have a pure revolutionary comradeship, just like...you and Sister Bai."

Deng Chang was dubious: "Really?"

Gu Lichun's tone was firm: "Really. As the saying goes, no love is light, and a bachelor is an elite."
