Counterattack in the chronology

When Gu Lichun drove his truck back to the village, it certainly caused a huge commotion.

Everyone surrounded the big truck, groped here and there, and kept praising: "Lichun, are you now an official?"

Gu Lichun said: "I didn't become an official, so I borrowed the car." But the more modest he is, the more people don't believe him.

Some people gathered around and said excitedly: "Lichun, Changming said that you told him before the wheat harvest. The farm weather forecast station said that there would be continuous rain during the wheat harvest, so our village harvested wheat early. You are the great savior of our Gujia Village."

"That's right, let me tell you, it's a good thing it was accepted in advance, otherwise we would have finished this year."

"The weather forecaster on your farm is amazing."

……

Gu Lichun thought about his lies on the farm, so he half-truthfully said: "Actually, it's not just the weather station on the farm that is good, our village also has a good one. He is my grandfather. When I came back last time, I passed by his house. He told me that there might be floods this year. I think the farm weather station seems to have mentioned this too. Think about it, my grandfather is over 80, has been planting for a lifetime, and has rich experience. The farm weather station is a scientific theory. The leader taught We need to combine theory with practice in doing things. I boldly speculated that this year's wheat harvest may have continuous rain, and I told Uncle Ye by the way. Uncle Ye is really courageous, bold and careful, and he believes in science and the masses. wheat harvest."

When everyone heard that this was the case, some people went to call Mr. Gu over. Mrs. Gu was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and now he was confused again.He looked at Gu Lichun with a puzzled look on his face: "Hey, you look handsome when you're young. You're a student from the city, right? You guys still drive big trucks? Yo, this car is really majestic."

The big guys looked at each other, the old man didn't even recognize Gu Lichun.

Gu Lichun said loudly: "Master, you told me last time that the wheat harvest will rain this year..."

The old man interrupted Gu Lichun: "What are you talking about, it's still raining? Impossible, it's been raining for such a long time, the sky must clear up."

The two of them were like donkeys and horses, Gu Lichun said something, but the old man answered something.Everyone laughed loudly.

Gu Lichun said helplessly: "It seems that he really can't remember. Forget it, I won't make things difficult for him."

Gu Lichun thought that the old man would take the blame for him, and thought that this person was also his grandfather, so he got in the car and gave him a box of cigarettes and three breads. The old man loved to smoke, and he still held a pipe in his hand. , Eating soft bread is just right.

Old Mrs. Gu received the cigarette, and his beard trembled with excitement, "Oh, this cigarette is good, this cigarette is good. Student boy, you are such a good young man. If you have anything to do, come to me at home. If anyone in the village wants to bully you, I will give it to you." Make the decision." Gu Lichun smiled and nodded.

Lidong heard that his elder brother was back, so he trotted over.

Seeing the big truck, he shouted excitedly, "Brother, have you bought a big car?"

Gu Lichun gave Lidong a brain collapse: "If you buy your head, can you buy a big truck casually? If you can buy it, can you afford it?" Lidong giggled.

Gu Lichun climbed into the driver's seat, started the truck, and drove to his door.Many children were running behind the car.

Gu Lichun parked the truck at the gate of the courtyard, and took some of the things from the car. This time, because he was going to move, he didn't bring much. He just brought a few big bones, some marinated pig offal, a bag of steamed buns and pancakes.

Gu Lichun saw that Lidong was the only one in the family, and asked, "Where are the rest of the family?"

Lidong was indulging in the majestic big truck, and when he heard the eldest brother ask, he replied loudly: "Mother took the three of them and the second grandma to the supply and marketing agency to buy things, and I will watch the door at home. Mother said that you will definitely come back in a few days , I have to keep someone at home, or I will go too."

Gu Lichun hummed, and poured Zhao Gao and Wu Pang each a large bowl of cold water, and the two drank for a while.

After drinking the water, Wu Pang wiped his mouth and asked, "Brother Gu, is our farm's weather station really that accurate? Why didn't I notice it?"

Zhao Gao also had this question.

Gu Lichun replied calmly: "Anyway, when I passed by there last time, I saw the data released by them saying that it might rain for a while. I combined the words of the old man with some of my own life experience, and finally concluded that This conclusion. What I thought at the time was that we were right. We rushed to harvest in advance to recover the loss. If we were wrong, it was wrong. Anyway, wheat will have to be harvested sooner or later. The weather station was wrong seven out of ten times. What if I got it wrong once? ?”

Zhao Gao replied, "That's right."

After a while, the two put aside the question and turned to talking about moving.

Gu Lichun took a look at the house, the dining table in the main room only had three legs, and the other leg was padded with bricks, so this one will not be taken away.The other furniture is also very old. Anyway, the furniture on the farm is almost ready, so there is no need to move these heavy things.Besides, Lixia, Lidong and the four of them still have their household registrations in the village, and this homestead is also theirs, so of course they have to keep the house.When I have money, I will build a new house.The location of their village is very good, and the scenery is also very good.There are mountains and water, and it is not too far from the sea.After 20 years, it may be developed into a tourist area here.

In this way, their house has nothing to move, and a truck can't be enough.

Gu Lichun was thinking about moving when Wu Pang suddenly suggested, "Brother Gu, the supply and marketing cooperative is not close to the village. Aunt Tian and the others must be shopping a lot, how about I drive to pick them up?"

Gu Lichun couldn't help but blame himself, he was not as thoughtful as Wu Fatty.

He nodded: "Go ahead and drive carefully." Both Wu Fat and Zhao Gao can drive, and there are almost no cars on the road now, so as long as you drive carefully, there will be no problem at all.

Wu Fat drove a truck to the supply and marketing agency to pick up people, and happened to meet Tian Sanhong's second grandmother and a large group of people in the village on the way.

Wu Fat turned the car around, stuck his head out of the window, and said loudly: "Aunt Tian, ​​Second Mistress, I'm here to pick you up."

Li Xia shouted: "Fat brother, why are you driving a big car here?"

Tian Sanhong and the others were also surprised. Wu Pang laughed and said, "Brother Gu borrowed this car, climb up quickly."

Everyone is not polite, throwing things into the pockets of the car, you help me and I pull you, and after a while, they all climbed into the car smoothly.Everyone touched the east and west of the car, and their faces were full of joy.

Wu Pang waited for everyone to sit down, stepped on the accelerator, and drove back.

The road conditions were not good, the car was broken, and Wu Pang's skills were not very good. The big truck swayed and bumped all the way, but everyone was very happy, talking and laughing.

People kept complimenting Tian Sanhong: "Li Chunniang, your days are getting better and better."

"Yes, you have enjoyed the blessings of the Beginning of Spring. Look, it's only been less than a year, and you have a bicycle sewing machine, and you can drive a big truck. What's the next time?"

Tian Sanhong spoke modestly, with a slight smile on his face.

Driving was much faster than walking. After a while, they arrived at Gujia Village. Everyone got out of the car with their belongings. Li Xia got down first and helped Second Mistress deliver the things to her house.

After they got home, Zhao Gao and Gu Lichun also came out to help carry things, Tian Sanhong looked at them and said distressedly: "Why are you two so thin?"

Gu Lichun said: "It's okay, I'll get back fat when I'm free."

Wu Pang heard that Aunt Tian didn't mention him, so he took the initiative to say: "Aunt Tian, ​​I also lost two catties."

Tian Sanhong: "Look carefully, it's true, it's okay, it can be made up."

Seeing that it was almost noon, Tian Sanhong asked the three of them what they wanted to eat.

Gu Lichun said: "The time is too rushed, so you can eat whatever you want for lunch. I brought steamed buns and pancakes, as well as stewed pork offal, and a few stir-fried vegetables."

Tian Sanhong said: "Alright, I'll cook something delicious for you for dinner."

Tian Sanhong dexterously scrambled an egg with leeks, sautéed bacon with green garlic, mixed with mashed garlic, eggplant and string beans, plus stewed pork offal and stewed pork, making a total of six dishes.After eating, she hurriedly cleaned up the big bones and stewed them.

Gu Lichun followed Tian Sanhong into the kitchen, helping her while discussing with her about moving.

Tian Sanhong asked in amazement: "Are you going to move so soon?"

Gu Lichun said: "The application report I wrote was approved by the leader. The house on the other side of the farm has already been completed, and we just have to move there. If it takes a long time, I'm afraid someone will occupy the house again."

Tian Sanhong hesitated and said, "Then what am I going to do? Can I apply for a temporary job? Look at me, I'm not tall, I don't look strong, and I don't know much. Does the farm want me?"

Gu Lichun said: "The farm hasn't started recruiting workers yet, you go in first, and there will be more opportunities in the future. The autumn harvest must be recruited."

Tian Sanhong still has worries in her heart: "I can earn work points at home anyway. You said that all five of us will go to the farm with you, which means that the whole family will eat you alone."

Gu Lichun said: "Mom, I'm a regular worker now, with a monthly salary of more than 30 yuan, and I earned 40 yuan for this month's manuscript fee."

Tian Sanhong was so shocked that she didn't close her mouth for a long time, 40 yuan!She worked hard for a year and could not get that much money.

Gu Lichun smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Wu Fatty and Zhao Gao, they are still waiting for us to treat us when we move."

Gu Lichun tried his best to dispel Tian Sanhong's worries one by one.After persuading him, he said: "Mom, there are actually some things that my grandma told me. When my father passed away, she told me that she wanted to get you into the farm. She also said that I don't understand at a young age. How difficult it is for a widow in the countryside. Especially since you are not too old, Li Xia Li Dong is young, and our family lives in a remote place."

How could Tian Sanhong not know what her son meant. Her father left early back then, and there was only her younger brother, an underage male, in the family.Sometimes someone would knock on the door outside in the middle of the night, and their mothers would tremble with fright, and while trembling, her mother would scold the people outside the door loudly.Tian Sanhong had dreamed of that terrible scene more than once until she married into the Gu family.

Tian Sanhong didn't want to repeat that nightmare, let alone make her sons and daughters tremble with fright, and she didn't want her eldest son to worry all day long.

She suddenly made up her mind: "Okay, mother promises you, move. I don't believe it, I can't find a job, I can do anything."

After Tian Sanhong made up her mind, she called the four children over and said that they were going to move in a few days, to the farm, and they had found a house there.

When Gu Lichun saw his younger siblings, he suddenly remembered that they were still in school, so he hurriedly asked them when they would have summer vacation.

Li Xia said: "It's coming soon. The final exam will be in one week, and it will be a holiday after the exam."

Gu Lichun said: "Then move things first in the next few days, and people will go there after you finish the exam."

Everyone agrees.

In the afternoon, Tian Sanhong took a few children and started to pack things. At first, Gu Lichun thought there was nothing to move, but after his mother tidied up, she found that even a truck couldn't fit in it.

Tian Sanhong sighed while tidying up his things: "Although this house is dilapidated, we have lived in it for more than 20 years. I am really reluctant to leave."

Gu Lichun said: "Mother, the environment over there in the new house is very good. You are even more reluctant to leave after living in it for a few years. This is called not leaving the old one and not coming in the new one."

Tian Sanhong suddenly thought of Second Grandma, and said, "After we leave, your Second Grandma will be even more lonely."

Gu Lichun thought for a while and said, "Second Grandma and Second Master raised my father, and we are obliged to support her. If she is willing, she can come to the farm with us."

Tian Sanhong shook her head: "Old people are nostalgic for the past, so they may not be willing to move."

Gu Lichun thought about it too, Lixia said that the second grandma would come back in the afternoon and ask her for her opinion then.

Before dinner, Second Grandma came with a basket of food.

When Wu Fat saw her, he was even closer to his grandma than to his grandma, who was older than grandma.

Gu Lichun dragged the second mistress into the main room, explained the situation, and asked her if she would like to go to the farm with her.

The second grandma was lonely and happy at the same time, she shook her head: "I'm used to it, I won't move anymore. Your family can go, don't worry about me, I'm in good health now, and there are folks in the village to help, nothing to do."

Gu Lichun didn't try to persuade him anymore, and said: "We will come back to see you often in the future. I will leave the phone number of the farm office. If you have anything to do, let someone call me. Ye Chao or Mrs. Zuo's son will do. .”

Second Grandma nodded.

In the afternoon, Second Mistress and Tian Sanhong cooperated to make fried oil pancakes that Wu Pang wanted so much.Wu Pang killed eight of them in one go, until his belly swelled.

The sun was scorching outside, so the big guys stayed at home and didn't want to go out. Gu Lichun didn't go out for activities until the sun went down and the weather was cool.In the past few days, he not only has to move, but also has to deal with some chores. The Ye family must go, and he has to issue a certificate and a letter of introduction to his mother.Chen Yu also had to go say hello, as well as some elders of the Gu family, who were able to save face.

It didn't take long for Gu Lichun's family to move to the farm. It didn't take long for the news to spread.The villagers of Gujia Village were talking about it.

A group of three, a group of five, got together and talked like a spittle.

"How can Lichun be so capable, let alone enter the farm by himself, but still get a whole family in?"

"Where does the family live on the farm?"

"I heard that the farm allocated houses to them."

"My God. Lichun must be an official."

……

Some people are strong in action and feel that just talking about it is not enough, so they come to the person concerned for verification, like Aunt Zuo.

Aunt Zuo came directly to Gu's house to help tidy up, and asked Tian Sanhong while tidying up.

"Li Chunniang, does your family have a new house on the farm?"

Tian Sanhong smiled and said: "There is a dilapidated house that no one lives in. The leaders in the field saw our family as pitiful and let us live in it first."

"Oh, then what are you doing here? Are you a temporary worker or a regular worker?"

"I don't know either. It's probably a part-time job. I'll talk about it later."

"What about the four kids going to school?"

"There is a school on the farm, and you have to pay, which is more expensive than our tuition."

……

Aunt Zuo got the first-hand news, she couldn't help feeling proud, and asked: "Ms. Li Chun, tell me the truth, has your Li Chun been promoted again?"

Tian Sanhong shook her head: "It's so easy to be promoted, it's just that this kid is capable and willing to endure hardships. The leader thinks we are pitiful."

Aunt Zuo was not satisfied with this answer, she let go of Tian Sanhong, and approached Gu Lichun again, trying to find out more inside information.

Before she could speak, Gu Lichun first gave Aunt Zuo a few small gifts, a nice straw hat, and some snacks. Aunt Zuo accepted the things honestly with her mouth polite.

Gu Lichun said: "Aunt Zuo, our family is going to move to the farm, and the only thing we can't worry about is the second grandma. I want her to go with us. She loves her family and doesn't want to move. We can only let her stay in the village first. Your family is a neighbor to her. As the saying goes, a close neighbor is not as good as a distant relative. Besides, your family is warm and generous. Who in the village does not praise your two sons? I would like to ask Aunt Zuo to do us a favor. If there is any heavy work in her house, you can help, if she has anything, you can go to the commune to call or go to the farm to find me.”

Aunt Zuo said very generously: "They all belong to the folks in the village. Even if you don't ask me, I will help. Just don't worry."

Gu Lichun released another bait: "We will still recruit temporary workers in the future. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will give priority to people from our village."

The smile on Aunt Zuo's face became even wider: "Yes, Lichun, you are from our village. Remember to support us when you are developed."

Aunt Zuo completely forgot that she was here to inquire about the news, and quickly told Gu Lichun the new news: "That Zhong Yanli, do you still remember?"

Gu Lichun gritted his teeth on purpose and said, "Can I not remember? I have hated her all my life."

Aunt Zuo quickly and kindly comforted him, and Gu Lichun slowly returned to normal under Aunt Zuo's enlightenment, "By the way, has she had any troubles recently?"

Aunt Zuo was beaming and dancing, "A person like her has been quiet for a few days. She was beaten twice with broken shoes, like a mouse crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat her. When she returned to her mother's house, she was scolded by her sister-in-law and brother-in-law. She went to relatives' houses, relatives I also visit relatives. Now I hardly dare to go out except for work. There is one more thing," Mrs. Zuo said in a low voice deliberately: "Someone saw Zhong Yanli wandering around your house from time to time, and she asked people when you Come back, what do you think she wants to do?"

Gu Lichun felt alert. He didn't know what Zhong Yanli was thinking, but it was definitely not a good thing.Did she also have the idea of ​​​​a pension?

Gu Lichun said gratefully: "Thank you, Aunt Zuo, if you don't tell me, I really don't know. This Zhong Zhong must have bad ideas. I have to remind my mother to pay attention."

Aunt Zuo got the first-hand news, and got a small gift from Gu Lichun, and left proudly.

The next day, the news content in the village was updated.Aunt Zuo contributed a lot.

After Gu Lichun had breakfast, he took advantage of the cool weather to go to Ye Changming to open a letter of introduction. Ye Changming happily issued a certificate for him, and said to Gu Lichun with a smile: "Xiao Gu, you are really my lucky star. I heard you last time. For your suggestion, I called Secretary Liu of the commune, Secretary Liu, do you remember? I came to our village last time.” Gu Lichun nodded to express his memory, and there seemed to be a reporter Wang with him.

Ye Changming continued: "Secretary Liu was dubious after listening to my words, and then mentioned this matter during the meeting, and asked the major production teams to harvest wheat early as appropriate. Anyway, more than half of the brigades listened to Secretary Liu's suggestion and harvested wheat early , They are all full of joy now, there are still many people who invite me to dinner, those who didn't hear, regret so much that their intestines are green."

Gu Lichun complimented: "It's still Uncle Ye who has courage, otherwise our village will also suffer disaster."

Ye Changming was modest, and then asked Gu Lichun about the farm. Gu Lichun picked up important things and told him.Ye Changming could tell that Gu Lichun had been promoted again. This kid is really not easy. He has been promoted three times in a row in less than a year.

He said sincerely: "Xiao Gu, uncle is getting old, and he is expected to be a captain in this life, unlike you who are young and have a bright future. In the future, you have to take Xiao Chao to make progress together and let him learn more from you study."

Gu Lichun said: "Let's make progress together with Ye Chao. Uncle, you are in your prime, don't be discouraged."

After the two talked for a while, Gu Lichun left.

When he came back, he happened to meet Gu Jingzhe. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. When they met again, the atmosphere was still awkward and tense.

Although the two did not speak, they were looking at each other.Gu Jingzhe is now dark and thin, and his demeanor is becoming more and more gloomy and oppressive. It used to be sunny, but now it is dark clouds.

A mocking smile escaped from the corner of Gu Jingzhe's mouth: "Gu Lichun, congratulations, you have been very proud recently."

Gu Lichun smiled slightly and said gracefully: "Thank you."

Gu Jingzhe saw that there was no one around, and suddenly came up to him and lowered his voice, "You actually already knew about Chen Jie and Liu San?"

When Gu Lichun heard him mention Chen Jie again, his heart shivered, and he looked at Gu Jingzhe coldly and said, "I don't know anything, Gu Jingzhe, I advise you not to listen to the nonsense of Liu San, an active gangster."

Gu Jingzhe sneered and said: "It's useless if you don't admit it. Liu San told me everything, and he also said that he still knows who caused his injuries. Gu Lichun, all of us underestimated you. You You are ruthless and deep-hearted, and you can do whatever you can to achieve your goal. You put so much effort in helping Chen Jie, don't you think you want to take advantage of her?"

Gu Lichun didn't speak, and continued to watch Gu Jingzhe's performance.

Gu Jingzhe saw that Gu Lichun didn't refute, so he thought he had hit the mark, and continued to say triumphantly: "To be honest, I really admire you. In order to climb up, you are willing to marry someone who is six years older than you." Another innocent woman. Tell me, if I tell about Chen Jie and Liu San, do you still want to marry her? Even if you hold your nose and marry him, you will always wear a green hat on your head."

Gu Lichun didn't expect Gu Jingzhe to make dirty tricks so quickly. Originally, Chen Jie was involved, so he should discuss it with her before taking action.But the other party has already said so, so he can't just sit idly by, he must make a decisive decision, and block Gu Jingzhe's words before the news breaks out.Originally, I wanted to lay out the layout slowly, but it seems that it will not work.That being the case, then simply solve it today.

Gu Lichun raised his hand, and slapped Gu Jingzhe several times with lightning speed.

Gu Jingzhe was stunned by the beating, and stared at Gu Lichun in astonishment. It took a while for him to react, and he shouted loudly: "You hit me? How dare you hit me?"

While roaring, he rushed towards Gu Lichun, before Gu Jingzhe could reach him, Gu Lichun kicked him to the ground, he got up and fought back, Gu Lichun kicked again.

Originally, there was no one on the road at the moment, but the violent movement of the two immediately attracted nearby villagers to watch and persuade them to fight.

"What's going on with you two? Why are you fighting?"

Some people went to help Gu Jingzhe, some people came to ask Gu Lichun, more and more people gathered.

Gu Jingzhe pointed to the fingerprints on his face and said loudly: "Gu Lichun did it first. I just said a few words to him, and he hit me. You see, the evidence is there."

Everyone looked at it, their faces turned red.

They looked at Gu Lichun with doubts and condemnation.

Gu Lichun took a deep breath, and complained with a sad and indignant expression: "Gu Jingzhe, that's right, I beat you today. But why don't you tell me why I beat you? If you don't tell the truth, well, I'll come Say. I’m here today to tell the big guys how a shameless villain like Gu Jingzhe forced an honest person like me to do it.”

When everyone heard this, they became interested.Someone also said: "Lichun, don't worry, just speak slowly, what's going on?"

Gu Jingzhe has dealt with Gu Lichun so much, how can he not understand his ability to turn black and white and confuse right and wrong?

He hurriedly said loudly: "Don't believe what he said, there is not a word of truth in his mouth."

Gu Lichun quickly countered: "I don't have the truth in my mouth? Do you have it in your mouth? Do you think the big guy doesn't know what kind of person you are? At this point, you still want to pretend, you treat the big guy as a Idiot, right? The more you don't let me tell you, the more guilty you are."

The big guy was waiting to hear the inside story, so he yelled to Gu Jingzhe impatiently: "Okay, let Lichun talk first, and then you can talk after he finishes talking."

Gu Lichun took a deep breath, and slowly revealed a shocking news.
