Counterattack in the chronology

Chapter 90 Let the Storm Come Stronger

As soon as Gu Lichun heard that Zhao Zhijun wanted to chat with him, he followed him out.

Zhao Zhijun walked westward, crossed the grassland, and reached the stream. He found a deserted place, and the two of them picked a clean stone and sat down.

Zhao Zhijun apologized again: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to cause so much trouble to your family."

Gu Lichun said: "This is none of your business."

Zhao Zhijun lit a match, lit a cigarette, and stared at a clump of wild flowers by the stream while puffing.

Gu Lichun waited quietly. After a while, he suddenly turned his face and asked, "Are you against your mother's remarriage?"

Gu Lichun shook his head: "No objection, she has the right to pursue her own happiness."

"What about your brothers and sisters?"

Gu Lichun said uncertainly: "I don't know, and I probably won't object."

Gu Lichun felt that the direction of this conversation was a bit strange, and he cast a questioning look at Zhao Zhijun.

Zhao Zhijun suddenly smiled, stood up and said, "Okay, I know your opinion."

Gu Lichun asked, "What's my opinion?"

Zhao Zhijun said meaningfully: "I just want to ask for your opinion, the rest is a matter between adults."

After speaking, he strode away.

Gu Lichun was about to ask the past, but saw an uninvited guest walking towards him, Jiang Mu came.

Gu Lichun felt that he should look at the almanac today, it was really inappropriate.

There was a smile on the corner of Jiang Mu's mouth: "It's really lively today. I didn't expect you to be so busy on Sunday."

Gu Lichun said coldly: "No way, flies and mosquitoes don't rest on Sundays."

"I came here to tell you that in a few days, we will be colleagues." Jiang Mu watched Gu Lichun's reaction while speaking.

There was no expression on Gu Lichun's face, he just let out a flat "Oh".

Jiang Mu raised his eyebrows, and continued, "I heard that Chen Yu's aunt, Chen Ping, will also be sent here."

Gu Lichun's heart was slightly shocked, but his face was still calm: "Oh, I see."

Jiang Mu was a little annoyed. He stared at Gu Lichun's expression, and then said, "There is another man named Meng in that group of reform-through-labour prisoners. You may not know him, but you must have heard of him."

Gu Lichun's heart was shaken, he turned his face and glanced at Jiang Mu: "You are free enough every day, you can figure out the situation so clearly." When he comes later, he must be fully enriched.

Jiang Mu stared at Gu Lichun, with a half-smile and said: "Comrade Gu, your storm is coming, you have to be mentally prepared."

Gu Lichun glanced at the lofty sky, "Then let the storm be more violent."

After saying this, Gu Lichun turned to Jiang Mu and said sincerely: "Student Jiang, for the sake of you being my student, I sincerely don't recommend you to come to us for five games. The most important thing to be a human being is to be rational. Normal people don’t do things that hurt others.”

Jiang Mu said provocatively: "Then let me be irrational for a while, I just want to try."

Gu Lichun shook his head helplessly, some people want to die, you can't help it, just let him go.If he doesn't cause trouble, he treats it normally.If it causes trouble, then you can only find a way to kick it away.

After Gu Lichun came back from the stream, he suddenly remembered the endless conversation between him and Zhao Zhijun. After thinking about it for a while, several thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally decided not to ask.They didn't make it clear that if he insisted on asking, it would be embarrassing whether it was what he thought or not.

Forget it, he should test Tian Sanhong's mind first.

The hustle and bustle just now is over, the people outside the courtyard have dispersed early, and the children have gone to play elsewhere.

Second Mistress was making clothes with Tian Sanhong in the living room. As soon as Gu Lichun came in, Second Mistress saw that if the mother and son had something to say, she said she would go to the kitchen and went out.

As soon as Second Mistress left, Tian Sanhong sighed and said, "Lichun, look what happened. I was obviously very careful. I didn't even dare to say a few words to you, Uncle Zhao, but they still spread gossip about us. What do you think should be done? They are neighbors, and the children of the two families play well, so I can't be hard-hearted and prevent the two children from coming to the door, can I?"

Gu Lichun said: "It's not necessary. What happened in the past is what will happen in the future. Listen to others, can we still live?"

Tian Sanhong sighed for a while, Gu Lichun hesitated and asked again: "After I left just now, did Uncle Zhao come again?"

Tian Sanhong shook her head: "No, I have already apologized, so I don't blame him for this."

Gu Lichun said: "I know."

In the evening, Uncle Lu came to the door with his things. He comforted Tian Sanhong again, and finally said: "Don't worry, just do what you want in the future. I'll talk to the family members who gossip, and there is that Mei old lady."

Tian Sanhong hurriedly said: "Thank you, I'm fine."

Uncle Lu put down his things and left.

When Gu Lichun sent him out, Uncle Lu looked back and said to Gu Lichun, "Your mother is a good woman."

Gu Lichun nodded: "I agree with that."

Uncle Lu then added: "Zhao Zhijun is also a good man."

Gu Lichun thought for a while and replied, "I agree too."

After Uncle Lu finished speaking, he turned and left.

Gu Lichun suddenly felt that there was a certain similarity between the two. Could it be the power of blood?

From this day on, Gu Lichun felt that there was a Mr. Snail in his family, his water tank was full without picking; his dog had a beautiful and strong nest; the road in front of his house was clean , the gutters are unobstructed and boarded, and a piece of wasteland has been reclaimed and fenced behind the house.

Tian Sanhong looked at Gu Lichun with questioning eyes: "Lichun, did the people from your pig farm do this?"

Gu Lichun shook his head: "It's not like, if they did it, they would definitely have to come and eat."

Tian Sanhong thought so too.

Gu Lichun checked the quality of the project. The job was done well. He seemed to be a skilled worker. Thinking about Zhao Zhijun's unpredictable attitude that day, he knew who it was.

He decided to pretend ignorance and let his mother find out and be shocked alone.

Before Tian Sanhong found out, Zhao Gao's mother found out first.

Zhao Gaoma and Tian Sanhong became best friends, and came to talk to her whenever she was free.

After careful investigation, she finally concluded that Zhao Zhijun did the work of the Gu family.

Zhao Gao's mother came up to him and said mysteriously: "Old Tian, ​​I think you can really consider Lao Zhao. He is a nice guy, generous, stable, and down-to-earth. He is a person who lives his life. The two children of the Zhao family get along well with your children too." .”

Tian Sanhong smiled wryly and said: "My husband just left, I really didn't think about looking for him again."

Zhao Gao's mother knew Gu Dajiang's character and character, she said: "Old Tian, ​​I am a straightforward person, don't mind. If Lichun's father treats you well, you two have deep feelings, I will wait no matter what." I’ll talk about this again in a few years, but that guy treats you like that, do you need to guard him? If it’s me, let alone he is dead, even if he is alive, I have to get him a green hat. Disgusting him."

Tian Sanhong was shocked by her words, there is a woman who thinks so?

When Zhao Gao, Wu Fatty, and Gu Lichun walked into the yard, everyone heard Zhao Gao's mother's loud and clear voice. Zhao Gao only heard the last sentence. He frowned and looked at him speechlessly. in the house.

Everyone looked down at their toes, pretending not to hear what they just said.

Gu Lichun cleared his throat and said loudly, "Mom, we're back."

Only then did Zhao Gaoma stop and greet everyone with a smile.

Tian Sanhong enthusiastically kept everyone for dinner, and Zhao Gaoma also stayed.Everyone stayed for a while after eating, and then went to the pig farm together.

At the moment, everyone is making straw weaving in full swing. Those with good skills and high skills weave some complicated and delicate things, while those with average skills do some simple work.

For example, Wu Pang is responsible for making shoe soles, and Gu Lichun can order every kind, but it is still not as good as his uncle and his mother.He doesn't care, it's just entertainment.

After finishing the second batch of straw woven products, Lu Jinjin went to the city to deliver the goods again.Gu Lichun asked him to bring two big baskets of things, and Lu Jinjin suspected that Gu Lichun was deliberately punishing him.Lu Jinjin and the driver delivered the items there, settled the payment, and came back the next afternoon.

When Lu Jinjin came back, there were big and small bags again, needless to say, they were for the big guys.Gu Lichun also has, and many more.

Inside were a few meters of flawed cloth, some patterns and some solid colors, a few pairs of broken Jiefang shoes, and some other odds and ends.

Looking at Lu Jinjin's sluggish expression, Gu Lichun sighed again, it's better to stay on the farm.

After Tian Sanhong received the cloth, she made new clothes for the children. Xiaoyu Xiaoman was a dress, and Gu Lichun was a short-sleeved one.As for the beginning of winter and the beginning of summer, each person has a piece of flowered underpants.The two of them dressed up happily and ostentatiously.

Tian Sanhong originally wanted to avoid suspicion and reduce contact with the Zhao family, but when she thought about how Zhao Zhijun had silently helped her family with such work, she decided to do something for Zhao Mingguang and Zhao Minghua brothers. And ultimately.

When Gu Lichun came back, he saw a group of colorful floral underpants dangling in front of him.

In addition to a group of colorful underpants with hot eyes, and the old Wei and his wife next door also moved back, Gu Lichun felt hot nose now.

The old Wei and his wife have been waiting and watching these days. They were waiting for the news of Gu Lichun's family's bad luck at first, but there was no news.More than a month has passed, Gu Lichun's family is not only not unlucky, but also more and more prosperous.

The two murmured inwardly, could it be that Gu Lichun scared away the previous bad luck?

In the end, someone told them that Gu Lichun's father was a bastard before he was alive, and he was also an evil spirit if he became a ghost.

The two of them had a bad time at their son's house, so they moved back.

On the day they moved back, the neighbors also came over to watch the excitement for a while, and greeted in a lukewarm way: "Hey, you moved back? Are you not afraid?"

Old Wei smiled dryly: "We're not afraid, don't we miss our son? When you get old, you want to be clean, so you come back."

Everyone laughed it off, who didn't know who, really.

Li Xia and Xiao Man still remembered what Old Wei had done, they purposely leaned over and shouted loudly: "Uncle Wei, you have to be careful not to break your leg."

"Miss Wei, be careful not to knock out your front teeth."

"Oh, I'm worried that Feng Shui will get worse once you come back."

The two were so angry that their teeth ached, and they went out to drive away these brats.

When he got off work in the evening, Old Wei deliberately waited at the intersection to complain to Gu Lichun: "Little Gu, you asked your mother to take care of your younger siblings. She doesn't understand manners at all, and she pissed me off with her words."

As he spoke, Lao Wei parroted what the two of them had said.

After hearing this, Gu Lichun said to Old Wei earnestly, "Uncle Wei, why don't you know what's good? My brothers and sisters are all for your own good. They are reminding you to be careful."

Old Wei was so angry that his goatee trembled: "Little Gu, it's meaningless for you to say that. Are you so kind to others? The first day we moved here, you were unhappy."

Gu Lichun smiled and said: "Didn't I learn from you? You know, children love to imitate adults. By the way, you should pay attention to your words and deeds in the future, and don't spoil the children around you. They are all flowers of the motherland. ah."

After Gu Lichun finished speaking, Shi Shiran went home.

No one expected that Lixia and Xiaoman had a promise. On the third day after moving back, when Aunt Wei passed the gutter in front of her house, she stepped on the ground and fell in. Not to mention getting dirty, her front tooth was knocked out. He's a bitch, talking straight out of the air, and quarreling is not as majestic as before.

The old Wei and his wife's move back did not bring much trouble to Gu Lichun's family, but brought a lot of fun instead.

Time passed quickly, and in mid-August, the supply and marketing agency where Gu Hongyu worked made another phone call to urge delivery, asking for another batch of sandals and straw hats, saying that they were about to sell out.

Gu Hongyu called Gu Lichun and said that the two of them hadn't asked for leave, could they ask the people from Honghe Farm to bring Yang Zhuzhu over when they delivered the goods.

Gu Lichun thought about it, and decided to send it off in person, and also inspect the market by the way.

He went to Lu Jinjin and said that he wanted to go on a business trip.

Lu Jinjin didn't rush to go like before, rolled his eyes, and said indifferently: "As you want, go if you want."

Gu Lichun went to the logistics department to hand over some procedures, and issued a letter of introduction and work certificate.

This time, Xiao Fang from the Supply and Marketing Department and the driver Lao Hu went together.Xiao Fang has no ill feeling towards Gu Lichun, on the contrary, he has always been curious and inquiring, but because of Lu Jinjin's face, he dare not get in touch with Gu Lichun in depth.Lao Hu is an old fritter, he laughs with everyone.The three of them talked happily on the surface.

Yang Zhuzhu was about to leave the farm, and the children felt very sad.The day before she left, all the children, big and small, who had played with her came to see her off.

There are also people who give gifts, and the gifts are even more varied, such as beautiful pebbles, slingshots, straw grasshoppers, wooden toys, colorful candy wrappers, and Yang Zhuzhu just received a package as a gift.Xiaoman and Xiaoyu also gave gifts.

Xiaoyu and Mingfei were about the same age as Yang Zhuzhu, and they were the most reluctant. They each held Yang Zhuzhu's hand and said, "You must come during the winter vacation. We can build snowmen and bake sweet potatoes together."

Yang Zhuzhu said: "As long as my mother agrees, I will definitely come."

The children reluctantly bid farewell, and the adults were also full of reluctance. Second Grandma's eyes were red.

Gu Lichun comforted her and said: "We are not far from the city, and it will be very convenient to travel in the future. Maybe I will go there often. Don't you see that this time I won the business trip?"

Second Mistress wiped her eyes and said, "That's right, I don't feel bad, I'll take it with me on the way to get you something to eat."

The weather is too hot, so I can't bring a lot of food.The two prepared some fried noodles for Gu Lichun, six sheets of naan cakes, ten salted eggs, meat sauce, tempeh, pickles, etc. Of course, fruits and melons are indispensable.

Gu Lichun rode a bicycle and carried Yang Zhuzhu, and Lidong also rode a bicycle with four big packages behind him. Now their family has two bicycles, Gu Lichun and Tian Sanhong share one, Lixia and Lidong Xiaoman have one, of course The cars are bought second hand.

As soon as Gu Lichun arrived at the pig farm, he was surrounded by big guys, including the employees of the pig farm and many family members who heard the news.They asked Gu Lichun to help carry things.There is no way to do this. People rarely have the opportunity to travel far these days. There are too few types of things in the farm and the county, and they are not as complete as the city.Therefore, as soon as you hear who is going on a business trip, everyone will flock here.

Gu Lichun patiently asked everyone to go to Chen Jie's place to register, and write clearly what they wanted to buy, if the supply and marketing cooperative didn't have it, would they be willing to ask for similar substitutes, how much each person gave and tickets, etc.

Everyone lined up there to record, while Gu Lichun and Lao Hu moved things into the car.After moving the public, then move the private.

When it was their turn to move Gu Lichun's things, Lao Hu and Xiao Fang were dumbfounded.

I saw a dozen sacks piled on the ground, full of watermelons and melons.

Gu Lichun explained with a smile: "I think the watermelons in our farm are very delicious. This time, I will send a batch to try. If they sell well, will our farm have another income?"

Lao Hu gave a thumbs up and said: "Your brain is so vivid."

As they were talking, the staff of the pig farm had already loaded the watermelons and melons into the truck, followed by several large baskets of vegetables and several large packages.

After packing everything, Gu Lichun carried Yang Zhuzhu into the cab and found a seat to sit down.He and Xiao Fang were squeezed together, the carriage was crowded and stuffy, the most important thing was the smell.Fortunately, Chen Jie was careful, so she got a lot of scented wild flowers and handed them over, at least to refresh the stale air in the car.

When everything was ready, Lao Hu started the truck, and the car slowly drove out of the farm.

The first half of the journey was quite smooth, but unexpectedly, the truck stalled halfway.Old Hu was not surprised, so he went down to check the situation.

He shouted: "You guys come down to do some activities and eat something, the car will not be repaired in a while."

The three of them got out of the car, Gu Lichun gave Yang Zhuzhu the dry food he had brought in his bag, and gave some to Xiao Fang, and Xiao Fang also gave him the dry food he had brought.Gu Lichun ate half a piece of naan bread, drank a few sips of water, walked over and called to Lao Hu who was under the car: "Master Jiang, come out to eat something, I'll go and see."

Old Hu asked, "Do you also repair cars?"

Gu Lichun smiled: "I'll try, if it doesn't work, you can continue to repair." He travels by car from time to time in modern times, so of course he needs to know a little bit about car repair.When I came here, I also repaired tractors. Although the types of vehicles are different, the principles are basically the same.

It didn’t matter to Lao Hu, he got out from under the car, went to the nearby ditch to wash his hands, sat next to Xiao Fang, picked up the naan bread, and started eating. He had a good appetite and knew how to eat again, breaking the naan bread into small pieces Eat it with meat sauce and tempeh, the more you eat, the more you want to eat it.When Gu Lichun got out from under the car with greasy hands, Lao Hu had already killed three sheets of naan bread and half a bottle of meat sauce. Yang Zhuzhu felt distressed watching from the sidelines, but couldn't speak directly.

"How? What did you see?" Lao Hu didn't expect Gu Lichun to fix it, so he just asked casually.

Gu Lichun said: "I'll go up and try to see if it can start." Gu Lichun opened the car door and climbed into the driver's cab while speaking.

He tried a few times, the truck roared and the body shook violently.

Xiao Fang opened his mouth wide in surprise, without even noticing that the naan bread fell from his mouth. A trace of surprise flashed in Lao Hu's eyes, and he laughed heartily: "Comrade Gu, I didn't expect you to be able to repair cars."

Gu Lichun said modestly: "Coincidentally, I just encountered a similar problem."

After the car was repaired, everyone stayed for a while to drink some water before climbing into the cab and continuing to move forward.

After such an outburst, Lao Hu's attitude towards Gu Lichun has improved a lot. At first, he was just getting close to him in a routine way, but now he has started to distract himself.

So did Xiao Fang, he looked at Gu Lichun with admiration: "Comrade Gu, you are really amazing, how can you know everything?"

Gu Lichun smiled: "I know a little bit about everything, but I'm not good at everything, and I still need to learn more."

Old Hu smiled and said: "Only this point has surpassed most people."

They were talking, and Yang Zhuzhu next to him said quietly: "Brother, the dry food is gone."

Old Hu laughed uncomfortably: "Xiao Gu, I'm sorry, I finished eating the dry food you brought, and your mother's cooking is delicious, and people can't stop."

Gu Lichun smiled indifferently: "It's okay, I brought it out for everyone to eat, and there are melons in the car, so we can go to the city after we have a meal together."

Old Hu laughed loudly and said, "Haha, I'll treat you two to dinner in the city."

In the second half of the journey, there was no problem with the truck, and they drove all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative where Gu Hongyu worked.

Gu Hongyu greeted her with a smile all over her face, Yang Zhuzhu was carried down, and rushed towards her mother: "Mom, I'm back, do you miss me very much?"

Gu Hongyu rubbed her daughter's head and said with a smile, "Why do I miss you? You don't miss me."

Yang Zhuzhu said honestly: "I also think about it sometimes."

The onlookers couldn't help laughing.

Several colleagues of Gu Hongyu gathered around, some said that Zhuzhu was tanned, and some said that Zhuzhu had grown taller and gained weight.

Gu Hongyu put down Yang Zhuzhu, and pulled Gu Lichun with concern to ask questions.After Gu Lichun talked to his aunt a few words, he started to talk to the people in the supply and marketing cooperative to discuss the goods.

Seeing that he was busy, Gu Hongyu didn't bother him.

An hour later, the three of Gu Lichun had finished their busy work. The goods had been cleared and inspected, and after completing the formalities, they could go to collect the payment.

After finishing his business, Gu Lichun pointed to a dozen sacks and said to Gu Hongyu, "Gu, these are watermelons from our farm. I brought you fifty of them."

Gu Hongyu was taken aback: "Why do you bring so many?"

Gu Lichun smiled and said, "Didn't you say that watermelon is sweet? You can keep half of it for yourself, and those who are promoted can ask your director if they can sell it in the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Gu Hongyu said: "Well then, I'll give you the key, you take Zhuzhu home first, take a good rest, and I'll ask our director."

Gu Lichun nodded and agreed: "Okay."

Gu Lichun unloaded two sacks of watermelons, one sack of melons was left at the supply and marketing cooperative, and he asked Lao Hu to detour and send the rest back.

"Old Hu, Xiao Fang, I'm going to my aunt's house, do you want to come together?"

Lao Hu shook his head: "No, we are dirty, go to the guest house to take a shower first."

Gu Lichun said: "That's fine." Gu Lichun wrote down the address of the guest house and the phone number of the front desk.

Lao Hu sent Gu Lichun and Yang Zhuzhu downstairs and helped them carry their things upstairs before turning back to the guest house.

Gu Lichun and Yang Zhuzhu had a casual meal, and he arranged for Zhuzhu to take a nap. In fact, he also wanted to have a good sleep, but when he thought that there were still so many things to buy, he had to pull himself together, took out the list, and sat down. A few bus stops to the supply and marketing cooperative to find my aunt.Gu Hongyu glanced at the list and said, "These things are not difficult to buy, just leave them to me, and you don't have to worry about them."

Gu Lichun smiled, sure enough, there were people in the court who were good at handling things, saving him from running errands.

The two of them were talking when they saw an elder sister with a round face and short hair coming over and calling Gu Hongyu, "Old Gu, please tell your nephew immediately that Director Sun wants to see him."
