Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

At the beginning of the year, the Sun family still hoped that the matter of going to the countryside would pass slowly, thinking that since the big guys were unwilling, they would not be forced to go to the countryside.

Unexpectedly, after a few months, going to the countryside has become a big trend. Not only has it not disappeared, but it has intensified.

What worries the Sun family even more is that even if they want to marry now, it is hard to find a suitable one.

Gu Xiuxiu glanced at her daughter and let out a long sigh: "This is not the first time she has visited the door. The tone of the conversation has become tougher every time. I am afraid that after a while, there will be a showdown in every household."

Sun Shumei pursed her lips and said, "Just go, Mom, I'm not afraid of going to the countryside."

Gu Xiuxiu slapped her on the arm: "Is it fun to go to the countryside? It's fine to endure hardships and hardships. You're a girl who knows..."

The words were not finished, but everyone present understood the meaning.

Gu Xiuxiu said helplessly: "Originally, I thought that since I was going to go to the countryside, I would let Shumei go to your production team. Adong and the others will take care of her, so I, as a mother, can rest assured. Who knew that it would not be possible at all."

"The sub-district office said that this is not an arrangement that our production team is willing to accept. Southerners must go north, and northerners go south. Otherwise, there is no point in going to the countryside."

Gu Xiuxiu didn't understand what it meant, she only thought that her daughter, who was born and raised in the south, would be good if she traveled all the way to the north?

Gu Xiuxiu was even more reluctant when she saw the destinations she had already gone to.

The original planned plan was disrupted, Gu Xiuxiu was worried and couldn't sleep these days, and even Sun Guodong's condition was repeated again and again, and she kept blaming herself for being useless and adding to the chaos, for not being able to help her daughter.

Hearing these words, the brothers and sisters looked at each other in dismay, feeling inconceivable.

Gu Erdi muttered: "This world is also strange, everyone finally entered the city, and now you are sent to the countryside."

Gu Mingdong felt helpless in his heart, the strange world would not last for one or two years, but for ten years with great vigor.

To a certain extent, keeping the educated youths away from the city is also a kind of protection for them. For example, Qian Zhiyi and Wu Mengting, their families predicted in advance and kept them away from the center of the storm to avoid disasters.

But the situation in the countryside is there, and the real problems are always more intense than imagined.

Gu Xiuxiu sighed, and asked again: "A Dong, how are the educated youths in your production team doing?"

"It's okay, you know the characters of the captain and the third uncle, and you won't deliberately embarrass them." Gu Mingdong was afraid that Gu Xiuxiu would listen and only think about the benefits of going to the countryside, so he hesitated and said again.

"However, except for the two strong male educated youths, the other three educated youths only do a little work, which is probably not enough for themselves."

And not all places are like the production team in Shanghe Village, because they don't have to worry about food and drink because of the good harvest, and the old Liu and Gu Jianguo are decent people, and the production team is not allowed to bully the educated youth.

Hearing this, Gu Xiuxiu really became more worried.

The aunt and nephew talked for a while, until Gu Mingdong got up to leave, Gu Xiuxiu still frowned, and Sun Guodong who was lying in the room was still silent, obviously still unwilling to see anyone.

Gu Xiuxiu personally sent them out, and then said: "A Dong, don't blame your uncle, he is suffering in his heart and is always afraid that others will see him as a joke."

Sun Guodong used to have a strong temper, but apparently he became a useless person lying on the bed, which almost killed him.

At first he was willing to meet people, but later he found that the people who came to see him were either frowning or secretly joking, so he didn't want to see them anymore, and felt that his ghostly appearance was shameful.

Naturally, Gu Mingdong didn't mind, he comforted his aunt before leaving.

On the way home, Gu Sanmei said a little disappointed: "It's so difficult to enter the city, why do you have to let the city people go to the countryside?"

If you want to say that going to the countryside will hit the hardest, none other than Gu Sanmei.

She wanted to go to the city with all her heart, but who would have thought that the matter of going to the city had not yet been decided, and her cousin in the city would go to the countryside first, which Gu Sanmei couldn't accept.

"Brother, do you think it's useful for us to study now? My cousin is still a high school student." Gu Sanmei said with her head drooping.

The second brother Gu interjected: "What are you afraid of? You have a rural household registration, and it's not your turn to go to the countryside."

Gu Mingdong laughed: "Why do you think so much, the times are changing, and the knowledge you learn is always your own."

Gu Sanmei sighed: "I'm not afraid of wasting money, and the bamboo basket will be empty when the time comes."

Gu Mingdong didn't expect this incident to hit his younger sister's self-motivation, so he said: "Sister, you have to think this way, if you have a good education and a high degree of education, you have a better chance of entering the city. Even if you encounter the same thing, you must If one person goes to the countryside, they must first choose those with low education, right?"

Gu Sanmei thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the reason."

Halfway there, Gu Mingdong stopped suddenly: "Second brother, take them home, and I'll do something."

Second brother Gu yelled twice, but didn't stop him.

"What is Big Brother going to do again?" Second Brother Gu muttered.

Gu Sanmei's eyes moved slightly, she didn't answer, she just took her nephew's hand: "Let's go home quickly, the pigs in the production team haven't been fed yet."

Gu Mingdong hurried all the way and came to the old Lu's house.

Lao Lu opened the door and looked happily: "Brother Dong, you haven't been here for a long time. What good things did you bring today?"

Gu Mingdong didn't go around in circles: "Brother Lu, I know you have a lot of connections, and I want to ask you something."

Lao Lu glanced at him and let him in: "What's the matter? Let's talk about it first, we can't do things that violate the law and discipline."

If the two hadn't been doing private business for almost a year, Gu Mingdong would really have believed his words.

"I want to ask you to find out where you can find a job in Xiyuan Town now."

Lao Lu touched him, looked at him and smiled: "Aren't you from the countryside? What's the matter, your family also has a quota for going to the countryside?"

"I'm from the countryside, but I have relatives in the city, and I'm still a girl who hasn't gone out." Gu Mingdong explained.

Lao Lu didn't ask in detail, and said directly: "Brother Adong, we are also old acquaintances. I won't go around with you, and I will say bluntly that there is no way to deal with this matter."

Gu Mingdong frowned: "I know that the jobs in the town are full of carrots and pits, but is there no one willing to move the pits?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Lao Lu said in a low voice: "If your family wants to keep her, the best way is to get married quickly. If this girl is married, she will be a member of her husband's family. You can't force her to marry her." Go to the countryside."

It was Sun Shumei who didn't want to marry hastily, and Gu Xiuxiu didn't have a good candidate, so this matter dragged on.

Gu Mingdong asked again: "Is there really nothing to do?"

Lao Lu pondered for a while, looked at Gu Mingdong, and said, "There is no way."

Gu Mingdong's eyes flashed: "Brother Lu, as long as I can do it, I'm definitely willing to do it."

Only then did Lao Lu say: "I do know that someone wants to sell the current job. He found a better place, but the price he offered is not low."

He compared a number: "This number is the same price."

After seeing his movements clearly, Gu Mingdong also took a deep breath, and the other party wanted a full 500 yuan.

You must know that a strong laborer in the countryside now spends more than 30 yuan a year after working hard. In the better factories in the city, the temporary worker is only 12 yuan a month, and the apprentice is only 18 yuan, and only 22 yuan can be earned after becoming a regular .

According to the current rules in the factory, no matter who it is, after entering, you will be a temporary worker for three years.

For a full 500 yuan, temporary workers can’t earn it for three years without eating or drinking!

Seeing that his face was gloomy, Lao Lu explained, "It's just that the price he asked was too high. If he was willing to lower the price by a little bit, the job would have been sold long ago."

Gu Mingdong frowned, and asked again: "What kind of job?"

Lao Lu smiled awkwardly and explained, "Look at the garbage station."

"Garbage station?" Gu Mingdong knew for the first time that this garbage station was also state-run.

Lao Lu said helplessly: "Just don't look down on the place in our town that sells scraps. In fact, it is also a state-owned unit, but the salary is a little lower."

Gu Mingdong knew why the job was sold. The job was complicated, undignified, with low wages and high asking price.

Lao Lu also helped to make up for it: "It is said to be a garbage station, but in fact it is to guard the gate of the country. The money is small but the time is free. If you don't show up for a day or two, no one will find out."

He thought of the glass bead that upgraded the ability, gritted his teeth and said, "When will he ask for money?"

Lao Lu was surprised: "You really want to buy it?"

"That's 500 yuan. If it weren't for the trouble of going to the countryside, I would have bought a job in a cannery for 300 yuan."

Gu Mingdong only said: "I really want to buy it, 500 yuan is a bit expensive, but it's nothing compared to others."

Although going to the countryside is not a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, he is really worried about his cousin Hua'er's age going to a distant place. Moreover, with the current situation of the Sun family, if Sun Shumei really leaves, all the work will be on Gu Xiuxiu's head. Worrying about my daughter.

Even if you don't look at the relationship, for the sake of the glass bead, Gu Mingdong still feels that he owes his cousin a favor, and it's cheaper to just pay back 500 yuan.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Lao Lu asked: "Your cousin has an urban hukou, right? If it's a rural one, I guess it won't be possible now."

Gu Mingdong smiled: "I'm worried about going to the countryside, can it be from the countryside?"

"That's right." Lao Lu smiled, "Everyone used to say that the city is good, but who knows what happened now."

He said: "In the middle of this month at the latest, the man said, if you really can't sell it, let the old lady in the family do it, and it won't be sold cheap."

Gu Mingdong nodded, turned and left.

Looking at his back, Lao Lu pondered: "This kid just left. That's 500 yuan. Where did he get such a large sum of money?"

Counting and calculating, Gu Mingdong sold a lot of wild goods here, but most of them were exchanged for food, and the remaining money was far from the astronomical figure of 500 yuan.

Gu Mingdong got the door, and instead of going home directly, he took a detour and went to the family building instead.

He didn't look for Gu Xiuxiu and Sun Shumei, knowing that they would definitely refuse after hearing the large sum of money, and maybe Sun Shumei would go directly to sign up to go to the countryside the next day.

After waiting for a while to be hungry, Gu Mingdong waited until Sun Qiang came home from get off work.

"Ah Qiang." Gu Mingdong shouted.

Sun Qiang stopped the car, saw him and scolded with a smile: "Why are you here?"

After finishing speaking, he said: "Hey, you are not old or young. You are half a year old and you are also a brother. Call me brother."

"Cousin, let's do this." Gu Mingdong greeted, "Come here quickly, I have something to tell you."

Seeing that he was stuck at the intersection and refused to go in, Sun Qiang was surprised, so he hurried over and asked, "What's the matter, what happened at home?"

Gu Mingdong rolled his eyes: "My family is fine, it's your family's business."

Sun Qiang sighed: "Do you know about Shumei?"

His complexion was not very good, and he insisted: "How can she go to the countryside as a big girl, and her future will be ruined after a few years of delay."

"I have already discussed with my mother. If I don't tell Shumei, I will hand in the application to the factory first, and then tell her when the factory agrees. At that time, she has to agree if she doesn't agree."

Although Sun Qiang has a bad temper, he is indeed a brother who loves his sister.

Since the call to go to the countryside began, every household has turned upside down over the matter of who stays and who goes. Parents who have jobs can at least keep two children if they retire. If there is not enough work, no matter how many children they can only keep one.

As far as their neighbors were concerned, there were several quarrels, just because of who stayed, and the brothers and sisters were all torn apart.

Sun Qiang said nonchalantly: "Anyway, I'm a man, and I'm not doing work wherever I go. It's an honor for me to support the frontier."

Gu Mingdong interrupted him: "Don't wait, I have a connection now, and I can help Shumei find a job. The job is not good, but at least I can stay."

When Sun Qiang heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Where did you come from?"

"It's not that my brother suspects you, you are not deceived, right now, someone sees the big guy's intention of not wanting to go to the countryside, pretends that he can help find a job, gives money at the front foot, and disappears at the back foot."

"Yan Hai, you know, the relationship between their family is hard, but his father said that it can't be arranged now, and now he plans to send him to the countryside."

Mentioning this matter, Sun Qiang felt very helpless in his heart.

Yan Hai is his best brother. He thought that with the conditions of Yan Hai's family, he would be able to find a job for Yan Hai to stay no matter what. Yan Hai is still the only child, so there is no need to go to the countryside.

Who knows that Yan Hai's father didn't know if he had a convulsion, so he actively responded and signed up, and even sent Yan Hai to the bitter frontier for support.

After Sun Qiang heard the news, his jaw almost dropped.

It's not that Sun Qiang doesn't believe in his cousin, no matter how capable Gu Mingdong is, he is still a rural person, and their family has been running for several months without finding a way out, but now he says there is.

Gu Mingdong said, "It must be true."

Lao Lu's credit is still there.

Sun Qiang was skeptical.

Gu Mingdong simply mentioned the jobs one by one, and when Sun Qiang heard it, he remembered: "Look at the old Wang of the garbage station, I seem to have heard that he is going to take over his father's job, and the current position can Get out."

That said, it seems true: "Old Wang, he can agree, he is a famous iron cock."

Gu Mingdong had no choice but to tell the price.

When Sun Qiang heard this, he exclaimed, "Why doesn't he grab 500 yuan?"

Opportunity is a good opportunity, but Sun Qiang had a bitter face: "Our family can't get it out."

Because of Sun Guodong's illness, the Sun family is now so poor that they can't afford 500 yuan.

Gu Mingdong lowered his voice and said, "Cousin, I have ways to make money, but there are risks."

Sun Qiang's face changed slightly.

Gu Mingdong looked at him and asked, "Do you want to do it, give me a word."

Sun Qiang thought of his sister, and gritted his teeth: "Do it!"

The author has something to say: Why do you just want to lie flat when working from home?
