Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Gu Mingbei is the youngest child in the family. Originally, the youngest should be favored, but her father passed away shortly after she was born, and her mother has been in poor health, so she passed away after a few years.

The first few brothers and sisters lived a good life for a few days, but in Gu Simei's memory, the family was always full of gloom.

Occasionally, there would be gossip in the village, saying that her life was not good, and that the old Gu family had not been peaceful since she was born.

After hearing so much, Gu Mingbei occasionally wondered if his fate was bad, so he killed his father and mother, and even his sister-in-law, who was very good to her, also left.

Such an environment allowed the little girl to develop a precocious and sensible personality, and at the same time made her introverted, shy, and timid. She would rather stay at home with her children than go out on weekdays.

In the memory of the original owner, this younger sister spoke in a soft voice, never loud, and this was the first time she yelled so loudly.

The twins stopped drinking sugar water, and looked at the room worriedly: "Is little aunt crying?"

Seeing her turn around and run away after shouting, Gu Mingdong was also surprised from the bottom of his heart: "What's wrong with Xiaobei?"

Gu Sanmei also showed a look of surprise: "I don't know either. When I asked her last night, Xiao Bei said that she couldn't think of what she would do in the future."

The second brother Gu was nervous, and said: "If you can't think of it, you can't think of it. Why is she angry?"

He thought of it, and when he said it, he was scolded bloody by his elder brother. Is he angry?

Gu Mingdong gave him a helpless look, and only said, "I'll go and see, you help Xiaoxi marinate the meat well."

Walking to the door of the room, Gu Mingdong coughed: "Xiaobei, brother came in."

There was a rustling sound inside, and Gu Mingdong walked in.

The sisters' room was not small, and it was tidy inside. Gu Mingbei sat by the bed, his eyes glowing red.

Before Gu Mingdong could speak, she said embarrassedly: "Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken so loudly just now, did I scare Ah Xing and Ah Chen?"

The soft personality made Gu Mingdong sigh.

"They are very bold, and they are so easily scared."

He pulled a stool and sat across from Fourth Sister, before asking, "Why don't you want to study?"

In the memory of the original owner, among the four brothers and sisters, Gu Mingbei is the one who studies hardest, so obviously he also likes to read.

Gu Mingbei pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Are you afraid that the family has no money?" Gu Mingdong thought of a possibility.

"Since big brother asked you to go to school, he will definitely solve the tuition fee problem. Don't you feel relieved by big brother's performance this year?"

Although Gu Mingdong didn't tell his two younger sisters about hunting and reselling to make money, but he brought back so many things one after another, the family can naturally guess some of them.

"It's not just you. If the second and third children are willing, the eldest brother will send them to study together. If you don't want to go to university, it is always better to have a higher education."

Although the turmoil is about to start, the basic education will not be greatly affected. With the status of their family, there is no need to be afraid. It is impossible for Gu Mingdong to let his younger brothers and sisters wait for ten years and waste these ten years.

Especially the third and fourth younger sisters are still young, they will start studying next year, and they will not be too old to take the college entrance examination ten years later.

Gu Mingdong made this proposal after careful consideration. In contrast, he felt that this road has low investment and high returns, and the risk is not suitable for girls.

Gu Mingbei just lowered his head and said nothing.

If she was bluffing like the second child, Gu Mingdong would know how to deal with it, but the little girl kept her head down and didn't speak, which made Gu Mingdong embarrassed.

Treating younger sisters naturally cannot be as simple and rude as treating younger brothers.

Gu Mingdong asked again patiently, but Gu Mingbei just didn't speak.

Gu Mingdong frowned, and suddenly raised his voice: "Xiao Bei, look up at me."

Gu Simei trembled in fright, subconsciously raised her head.

The four brothers and sisters are all good-looking, Gu Simei is not as good-looking as her elder sister Mingyan, but she has a pair of watery almond eyes, which are glowing red at the moment.

Seeing her teary eyes, Gu Mingdong sighed, stretched out his hand to stroke her hair, and said, "Xiao Bei, you can tell Big Brother if you have anything to say, you have to remember that others are not roundworms in your stomach, you don't You don't know what you're thinking when you talk."

Gu Mingbei sniffed, and only said, "Brother, I don't want to go to school."

"Why don't you want to? Did someone bully you at school?" Gu Mingdong asked.

Gu Mingbei shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "No one bullies me, but I just don't want to study."

Frowning, Gu Mingdong asked again: "Then what do you want to do if you don't study?"

"I'll just stay at home."

Looking at his younger sister with a red nose, a guess flashed in Gu Mingdong's heart, and he tentatively asked, "What are you doing at home?"

Gu Mingbei really replied: "I can do laundry, cook and clean, and I can also take care of Ah Xing and Ah Chen."

Sure enough——Gu Mingdong couldn't help sighing.

For a while, I didn't know whether to lament that my sister was too sensible and obedient, or lament that she didn't know how to think about herself.

Among the three younger siblings, Gu Mingdong has to admit that he pays more attention to them because the second and third are noisy, but this does not mean that he cannot see what the fourth sister has done to the family.

Washing, brushing, and taking care of the children at home, without going to the field, the members of the production team thought that Gu Simei was enjoying the blessings, but Gu Mingdong knew that these trivial matters were troublesome. Gu Simei had to be busy from morning to night by herself, which was no easier than going to the field to work.

Sometimes Gu Simei is so sensible that Gu Mingdong even forgets her actual age.

She is just about ten years old.

Gu Mingdong patted her forehead with a smile: "Are you worried that you have gone to school and no one is doing the things at home?"

Gu Simei didn't speak.

Gu Mingdong said with a smile: "There are only so many things at home, and everyone can help each other."

Gu Simei said: "Then what should I do when I eat? We can't go to school and you are hungry at home."

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you taste the craftsmanship of the eldest brother? I am such an adult, how can I starve myself to death?"

Gu Simei said again: "A Xing and A Chen, they are still so young, we are not at home, who will take care of them, and the elder brother has to work in the fields, so how can I have time to watch them. Let the third sister go, she Smarter than me, definitely better grades than me."

She thought about her elder brother, her nephew, and everyone in the family, except herself.

Gu Mingdong pressed her little head: "Ah Xing and Achen are so old, who in the village is not a free-range child, and they need someone to watch them?"

"That's different. They don't have a mother, and other children will bully them." Gu Simei subconsciously said.

Gu Mingdong was stunned for a moment, remembering that because he had no parents, even with his third uncle taking care of him, the children of the old Gu family were often gossiped and wronged.

After all, the original owner was old, and others did not dare to bully him casually. Gu Erdi and Gu Sanmei lost their tempers again.

Only Gu Simei was a poor little girl, she dared not speak up when she was being bullied, for fear of causing trouble to the family.

Gu Mingdong felt a little distressed, and he smiled: "The big deal is to send it to the third uncle's house, and the third aunt will definitely be willing to help look after it."

Aunt Gu's family has a lot of children, so when she gets older, she will gradually go to the fields less and give food or money every month, and this can be done.

Gu Mingbei still didn't agree: "There's no one in someone else's house who can look at you at ease."

Gu Mingdong put his hand on her shoulder, and said word by word: "Xiao Bei, you are Ah Xing Ah Chen's aunt, not their real mother, so you don't need to give up your future for them."

"I am their father. I will raise them well. You should think about yourself first."

Gu Mingbei didn't know if he understood, but his expression didn't improve much, on the contrary, he was a little panicked.

"Brother, don't you want me? Doesn't this family need me?"

"Xiaobei, brother doesn't mean that." Gu Mingdong had to explain patiently, "Brother just thinks that you are still young and shouldn't stay at home and work all the time. Reading is good for you."

"I don't want to study, and I don't like to study, why do you want me to study?" Gu Mingbei's nose sore, and he started to cry, "When sister-in-law left, I promised her that I would take good care of Ah Xing and Chen of."

Gu Mingdong sat next to her and watched her cry, and when she was out of breath from crying, and she almost cried freely, and stopped crying after crying enough, he took the handkerchief and handed it over.

After wiping his tears, Gu Mingbei felt embarrassed himself, sniffed and said, "Brother, I'm sorry."

Gu Mingdong laughed: "I'm sorry, why are you sorry for me?"

"I... I don't work and I get free."

"Who cooks the food at home? Who washes the dishes? Who washes the clothes? Who takes care of the children?"

Gu Mingdong joked: "You are my younger sister, not a servant. Besides, a rich family has to pay a servant to hire a servant. If you are free, then am I Huang Shiren who squeezes the proletariat?"

Gu Mingbei hurriedly said: "Don't say that, it's not good for people to hear, besides, this is all voluntary."

"Brother is good to me, I know it in my heart."

Gu Mingdong fully understands where the root node is. Unlike the second and third children, they both go out to work to earn work points. Coupled with their personalities, Gu Simei always feels that she has not contributed to the family.

If you want to change your temperament, you definitely won't think so much.

But Fourth Sister Gu is sensitive and thoughtful. A little girl hides so many thoughts, no wonder she hasn't seen any growth after being raised for more than half a year.

After figuring this out, Gu Mingdong did the opposite: "Xiao Bei, you have to think this way, if you stay at home all the time doing housework and taking care of the children, you will find someone to marry in the future, and you will be like this for the rest of your life."

"But you are smart and study hard. If you are willing to put your heart into it, you might be able to be admitted to university in the future. When you are admitted to university, it will be a glorious thing. Parents will be proud of you when they see it underground."

"At that time, you will be a college student, and you can get tens of dollars a month if you find an iron job. You can repay me whatever you want at that time."

Gu Mingbei was taken aback by these words, and she subconsciously said, "Where is it so easy to get into college?"

"Others can't do it, but my sister can do it." Gu Mingdong said firmly.

His confident eyes seemed to convey courage to Gu Mingbei who had always been unconfident.

"But at home..." Gu Mingbei still couldn't let go of this matter.

Gu Mingdong smiled and said: "I asked you to go to school, not to be young masters, you have to work even when you are not in class, you have to finish housework before going out, clean up, and you have to come back to cook at night, and the school will be closed when the farming season is busy. , you all have to go home and help."

Listening to it this way, Gu Mingbei doesn't seem to have much objection.

Gu Mingdong said again: "It's not just you, I will also send them to study when Ah Chen and Ah Xing are older."

Upon hearing this, Gu Mingbei said, "How much will it cost, or let them go to study, I won't go, anyway, I'm a girl—"

Gu Mingdong interrupted her: "Xiaobei, have you forgotten what elder brother said just now, there are six people in a family, I see that you have the best talent for studying, the most deep-rooted, and the most likely to be admitted to university."

"What's wrong with the girls? The chairman said that women hold up half the sky."

"I believe you can do it."

Even if he is less talented, as long as he is willing to work hard, Gu Mingdong, who knows the opportunity, has plenty of ways to advance.

These words made Gu Mingbei stunned, unable to believe what he heard.

She has always felt that she is not smart enough, not as good as her second brother and third sister, but now her elder brother says she believes in her.

At this moment, Gu Mingbei suddenly felt that he could not live up to his elder brother's expectations.

"Then...well, let me try."

"That's right." Gu Mingdong smiled, finally feeling relieved.

Gu Mingbei wiped away his tears and went out. Seeing his brother and sister curing bacon, he hurriedly shouted: "Sister San, let me do it."

"It's okay, it will be fine in a while." Gu Sanmei said with a smile.

Gu Simei snatched her job: "Let me do it, sister, you put too much salt."

Gu Erdi complained from the side: "That's right, I just said to put less and less, but you still pour it in, don't you want money to buy salt?"

Gu Sanmei said angrily: "There is too much salt so it won't stink, and since you didn't remind me just now, you know how ghosts are screaming."

Gu Simei rolled up her sleeves and began to work. She was much more skilled in her movements, and tried to use every bit of salt to the extreme. She was many times more careful than Gu Sanmei, and her movements were much faster.

Gu Mingdong came out to look, and couldn't help laughing: "There is Xiaobei in my family, if there is a treasure, it's fortunate that she came out, otherwise a large bag of salt would be ruined by you."

When Gu Simei heard this, she couldn't help showing a bright smile.

Gu Sanmei watched and said with a smile: "Brother still has a way to coax Xiaobei in a while."

Gu Simei was still a little embarrassed, she lowered her head and worked hard.

After a while, Gu Simei raised her head and asked, "Brother, I ate meat yesterday, why not stew radishes with bones today, it tastes like meat and nourishes the body, you can't eat braised pork every day."

"Okay, then I'll go and pull some radishes later." Gu Mingdong smiled.

Gu Mingdong walked towards the vegetable garden, and the second younger brother Gu followed up slowly, rarely said awkwardly: "Brother, what about me, why can't I..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Mingdong grabbed him and squatted down, covering his mouth: "Shhh!"

Gu Erdi's eyes widened, but he heard a familiar voice from the bamboo forest behind the vegetable garden.
