Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Gu Erdi was persuaded, who knew that he would wait until the autumn harvest.

I don’t know if it’s the charm of the stewed meat. The crops of the production team in Dahe Village are growing very well this year. The yellow rice fields are turning golden waves, and every ear of rice is heavy. Before harvesting, the fragrance of rice permeates the whole village. .

On the grain-drying field, the crumpled old Liu was still yelling at the top of his lungs, holding a so-called autumn harvest mobilization meeting.

Next, the members of the commune muttered to each other, and few of them really listened to him.

Standing beside Gu Mingdong, Li Tieniu said, "It's weird. It doesn't rain in spring, so I thought there would be a famine again this year. Who would have thought it would be a bumper harvest."

Since the wild boar incident, Li Tieniu believed that Gu Mingdong was capable, and often liked to talk to him.

Gu Mingdong was well aware of the reason for Dahe Village's bumper harvest, and said with a smile, "Maybe God doesn't want us to starve."

Li Tieniu smiled foolishly, and said, "I think the big guy eats the meat and has the strength to work, so the harvest is good."

Aunt Liu next to her also said: "Isn't it? Look at the next village without meat, their harvest will not be good."

At the end, he looked at Gu Mingdong flatteringly: "Ah Dong, wait until you have time to go up the mountain..."

Before Gu Mingdong could speak, the shriveled old Liu at the top saw them talking small things, and called them by name: "Third Aunt, the mobilization meeting is just underway. If you have something to say, wait until it's over."

Unexpectedly, Third Aunt Liu didn't give him face, she turned her body and said: "The autumn harvest depends on strength, not on words. Is it useful to shout loudly? It's better to start working earlier."

The shriveled old Liu's face turned black after being sprayed with a sentence, and when he looked again, the members below all agreed, so he could only wave his hand: "Okay, the autumn harvest of the Dahe Village Brigade has officially started."

This time the members did not procrastinate, one by one picked up the sickle and rushed to the field.

The sun was scorching, and there was not even a shaded place near the rice fields. Gu Mingdong had been doing farm work for a while, but now he was bending over to cut the rice, and he still felt exhausted.

However, Gu Mingdong is still full of energy when he thinks that the food will be distributed after the autumn harvest, and that after the food is distributed, he will be able to eat openly and openly.

It is estimated that most of the members in the village are like this. Only Wang Mazi, who is as generous as Wang Mazi, will be lazy when rushing to collect.

But at this moment, unless he was too sick to get out of bed, no leave was allowed in the brigade, and Wang Mazi had to go to work in the fields no matter how reluctant he was.

Not only Gu Mingdong, Gu Mingnan, and Gu Mingxi came, but Gu Mingbei also went to the field together. The twins were placed on the ridge of the field, and after a while, Sa Yazi went to pick rice ears with the head child in the village.

Soon, bundles of rice were transported to the open space next to them, threshed and bagged on the spot, and then piled on a cart to be transported to the sun-drying field.

In the busy scene, everyone was sweating profusely, and some men simply took off their clothes and continued to work. Their rough skin and thick flesh were not afraid of the sting of rice mangoes.

Gu Mingdong didn't dare to do this, he was afraid of ticklish.

The clothes on his body were soaked in sweat very quickly, sticking to his body wetly, and he felt hot even after drinking any amount of water.

A few fields away, several old aunts were also harvesting rice.

When they looked up occasionally, they glanced at Gu Mingdong, then turned around and started laughing.

A gangster said generously: "Look at A Dong's waist, no wonder all the daughter-in-laws in the city can get married."

A group of old women who have become grandmas are standing next to them, and they suddenly burst into laughter: "Hey, you still have a crush on A Dong at your age?"

"I'm old, and I have a granddaughter. I'll introduce one to him tomorrow."

As soon as he said this, the laughter became more and more violent, and the second brother Gu, who couldn't hear clearly, stretched his neck to look, and praised: "These aunts are really capable, cutting rice in hot weather, how can they still have the strength to talk and laugh?" , I'm almost exhausted."

Gu Mingdong glanced at it, he could hear it clearly, but he didn't want to pay attention to the laughter.

Turning around and seeing that the two younger sisters were flushed and wet from the sun, Gu Mingdong said, "Xiaoxi, Xiaobei, go home and cook more."

Gu Sanmei said without raising her head, "Let Xiaobei go home and cook, I can do more."

This is the best time of the year to earn work points, and it is related to the final ration.

"You go too, wash your face, and bring us some water. We've run out of water here," Gu Mingdong said.

Then he signaled them to take the twins back: "Let them drink more water too."

Gu Sanmei and Gu Simei knew that her eldest brother felt sorry for them, and asked them to go home to rest, and went back moved and happy.

The second brother Gu is not jealous. This young man is quite old-fashioned. He has always regarded himself as a man, and he thinks that men have to work more.

After a while, Gu Sanmei came over with this big basket: "Big Brother, Second Brother, come and drink some water."

Second brother Gu threw away the sickle, picked up a bowl of water and poured it down, and exclaimed in surprise, "Sweet."

"Hush!" Gu Sanmei gave him a look.

Second brother Gu quickly restrained himself.

Gu Mingdong took a sip, and it was really sweet, with a lot of sugar in it.

Under the high-intensity autumn harvest labor, the old Gu's family naturally ate better. In the past few months, Gu Mingdong went up the mountain every once in a while, often alone, and occasionally brought Gu's second brother with him.

Every time, he will not return empty-handed.

Pheasants and hares are common, and other wild animals appear occasionally, and bird eggs are brought back every once in a while.

The second younger brother Gu has seen a lot, and he admires his eldest brother all over, wishing to cling to him all day long to learn his skills.

The twins ate custard every day, and saw that they had grown flesh, and finally there was baby fat on their originally thin faces.

The elders of the old Gu's family also improved a lot. Fortunately, everyone was eating pork during that time, and the old Gu's got the most, so no one doubted it.

At first, the brothers and sisters of the Gu family were terrified, for fear of being discovered.

Now it is normal, one goes hunting in the mountains, one helps lookout, and the two are always ready to sell stolen goods at home, they cooperate very tacitly.

If someone smells it and asks, the Gu family will insist that it is the leftovers from eating before, making it into jerky and saving it, and taking it out from time to time to satisfy their cravings.

Others in the brigade also did this, but no one doubted it.

What satisfies Gu Mingdong the most is that the three little ones have tight mouths no matter what their problems are.

On this day, the old Gu's family ate a pheasant. It was because Gu Mingdong worried that the autumn harvest would be too labor-intensive for the family to bear, so he deliberately killed it in advance and hid it at home.

He had calculated the time for the autumn harvest, and as long as he could afford it, he would definitely cut a piece of meat and fill it with oil, so as not to overwhelm the hard work, so he dared to take the pheasant home directly.

The old Gu's family sat around and drank chicken soup. While eating chicken, the Widow Liu's family next door had a hard time haha.

Don't look at the rice in the field is ripe, but if there is no weight for a day, the common people will feel sad at home.

Last year's grain was eaten up early, and now it is all supported by wild vegetables and coarse grains on the mountain.

Liu Xiaozhu sniffed, glanced at the old Gu's house, and said, "Mom, is their family eating meat again?"

Widow Liu was tired all day, and said angrily after hearing this: "The wild boar meat should have been eaten long ago, where is the meat?"

Liu Xiaozhu pouted and said, "There must be. Their family always eats meat secretly."

Liu Aihua also whispered, "I smell it too, it's like chicken soup."

"It's not just the old Gu's family. Many people in the village eat meat today. I heard what they said during the day..."

Unexpectedly, Liu Dazhu snorted coldly, and cursed: "Why don't you go over and call him brother, see if Gu Mingdong can take pity on you, and give you a bite."

As soon as he opened his mouth, both Liu Xiaozhu and Liu Aihua bowed their heads and dared not speak.

Widow Liu frowned and smoothed things over: "Where is the chicken soup at this time? You must have smelled it wrong. Let's eat. We can share the grain after the autumn harvest is over. Then Mom will cook rice for you."

The two little ones buried their heads in their meals.

But Liu Dazhu didn't know what to think, he threw down his chopsticks and cursed: "It's either green vegetables or radishes all day long, and the mouth is fading out like a bird, so I don't want to eat it."

"It's okay if you don't eat, and you won't have the energy to work if you don't eat..." Widow Liu wanted to persuade her, but she saw that her eldest son had already run out of the house.

Widow Liu sighed sadly, and when she turned her head, she saw the two little hands and feet quickly sharing Liu Dazhu's bowl of rice, feeling even more helpless in her heart.

She is a widow, and only the eldest of the three children has admitted that her daughter is the same age as Gu Sanmei, who can be half an adult, and her son is even younger. It is difficult for the family to eat, let alone eat meat.

For a moment, Widow Liu looked at the old Gu family with some resentment.

In the past, the old Gu's family was more difficult than theirs, so why did they become rich all of a sudden?Is wild boar so well eaten?

The autumn harvest lasted for less than half a month. Carloads of grain were sent to the sun-drying field, and they were thoroughly dried before being put into storage. When everything was over, the color on Gu Mingdong's arms became two pieces.

He didn't care about it himself, but he felt a little distressed when he saw that the two younger sisters were darkened by more than one shade.

After the grain is put into storage and the autumn harvest is over, the public grain must be handed over after a few days. Only after the public grain is paid can their brigade distribute the grain.

The crumpled old Liu approached Gu Jianguo to discuss this matter, and Gu Jianguo said directly: "If you should hand it over to the public, you should hand it over quickly, and you won't have babies if you leave it for another day. After paying it, we will share the food, and the big guys will share it." Only then are you sure.”

The shriveled old Liu also had the same idea in his heart, but he still hesitated and said, "Then how much should we pay?"

Gu Jianguo's face turned cold, and he scolded: "Captain, the leaders have criticized exaggerated and false reports, haven't you suffered enough from the past two years?"

At that time, everyone paid a higher price, but after paying the public rations, the commune members had nothing to eat, so they had to tighten their belts to live.

At that time, Gu Jianguo disagreed, but he couldn't stop the shriveled old Liu from saving face, and the leader above also said that the red flag would be given if the report was more per mu, and the white flag would be given if the report was less.

After finally correcting the mistake, Gu Jianguo will never agree again.

Seeing that he was in a hurry, old Liu quickly said, "That's not what I meant, so report it according to the actual situation."

Gu Jianguo nodded, turned around and went to the old Gu's house: "Ah Dong, you will go with me tomorrow."

Gu Mingdong was about to go to the town to have a look, so he readily agreed.

Then he said, "Third Uncle, are you sure you want to go tomorrow? The weather is so hot, so it won't rain tomorrow, right?"

Gu Jianguo looked at the sky and said with a smile, "It's been sunny for many days, it doesn't seem like it's going to rain."

"It's okay if it rains, our warehouse is high and can't be flooded."

Gu Mingdong nodded, seeing that he was about to leave, he reminded again: "The location of the grain depot is off the beaten path, Third Uncle remember to check carefully, don't let the mice get in and eat it."

After he left, Second Brother Gu ran over and asked, "Brother, I also want to go together."

Unexpectedly, Gu Mingdong glanced at him, shook his head and said, "I can't go tomorrow."

Gu Erdi became strange: "Why?"

"Didn't Third Uncle say to go tomorrow?"

"You'll find out in the evening." Gu Mingdong had a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.
