Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Chapter 70 Graduation Certificate

It has been half a year since the educated youths joined the production team, but the children of the old Gu's family are still unfamiliar with the educated youths.

Firstly, they all had to go to school, so they had little time to stay in the production team; secondly, they were warned by Gu Mingdong; thirdly, there was an inexplicable gap between the educated youth and the members of the production team. There is walking around.

Especially Qian Zhiyi, because he is an educated youth from Beijing, he has always looked down on the members of the production team.

No one is a fool, and they will always be aware of it after a long time.

So at this moment, Qian Zhiyi took the initiative to say hello, and the brother and sister looked at each other, feeling weird.

As soon as their eyes moved, they understood each other's meaning.

Gu Sanmei continued to walk with her head down, while Gu's second brother looked up and said haha: "Isn't this Qian Zhiqing, you don't go to work today?"

Qian Zhiyi forced a smile, but the arrogance in his eyes still couldn't hide: "I have something to go to town."

After speaking, he glanced at the bags they were carrying: "You guys are..."

"Go to school." Gu Erdi naturally wouldn't tell him.

Qian Zhiyi's expression turned cold: "It's weird, you guys still carry bags when you go to school."

"Rural people can't afford schoolbags, and it's the same with snakeskin bags." Gu Erdi didn't mean to lose face at all.

Qian Zhiyi frowned, and reached out to grab the bag behind his back: "Really, let me see..."

Who knew that the second brother Gu was much more agile than him, so he quickly dodged, dragged his sister and ran away: "Qian Zhiqing, we are going to be late for school soon, you are walking too slowly, we won't wait for you."

Gu's second younger brother, Gu Sanmei, was used to walking, Qian knew how to catch up with them, and had to watch them go farther and farther.

Qian Zhi, who had eaten a mouthful of dirt, poohed for a long time, and felt that his mouth was full of sand, and he was instantly annoyed.

Just now when he saw that the brothers and sisters of the old Gu's family were carrying a lot of things, he suspected in his heart whether they were doing reselling, so he stepped forward to test it.

Who would have thought that the two brothers and sisters would not show any face, so they left him and ran away.

Qian Zhiyi believed in his heart that they had ghosts in their hearts, but there was no evidence.

On the other end, Gu Erdi was also scolding him: "There is something wrong with this surnamed Qian. Do I know him very well? He still wants to play tricks."

Gu Sanmei also said: "This group of educated youths from the city are all weird, so is Wu Mengting, and so is Qian Zhiyi. Let's stay away from them."

"I didn't want to talk to him either." Gu Mingnan said.

After speaking, he turned around and persuaded his younger sister: "I'll forget it, you have to be careful, these little white faces from the city are the best at deceiving people."

Gu Mingxi glanced at him, but didn't want to speak.

Gu Mingnan took his younger sister, first went to his aunt's house to put down his things, then went to the photo studio to get photos, and then rushed to school, but he was not late yet.

Qian Zhiyi didn't go anywhere, and it was late when he arrived at the post office.

"Comrade, do you have any letters from Qian Zhiyi or Wu Mengting?" Facing the person at the post office, Qian Zhiyi was very kind.

The staff at the post office said without raising their heads, "It's all over there, you can see for yourself."

Qian Zhiyi frowned, and could only swallow his anger and go to find it by himself.

"Why not?" Qian Zhi became more and more anxious as he searched and couldn't find it.

"Hey, hey, be careful, don't mess it up." The staff member shouted, "What about you, gay men in black long sleeves, be careful, those are all other people's property."

Facing the eyes of the people around him, Qian Zhi's face darkened, he turned his head and walked out.

Comforting himself time and time again from the bottom of his heart, Qian Zhiyi also had to admit that something happened at home, otherwise, how could there be no news at all.

He remembered what his father had told him before he went to the countryside, and then thought of the unclear words and sentences in the last letter, his brows were furrowed.

Qian Zhiyi was worried about the situation at home, but he also knew that without the support of his family, his good life with Wu Mengting would come to an end.

He carefully calculated the expenses after he went to the countryside, and it turned out to be more than when he was in Beijing.

That's right, at that time they lived and ate at home, and they usually had nothing to spend money on, but now it's different, a grain of rice and a vegetable cost money, and they couldn't get a few work points a day.

Qian Zhiyi looked at his palm, the palm was worn out, and a bit of regret suddenly surged in his heart.

I knew earlier...

No, how could he regret it!

Qian Zhiyi slapped himself, the difficulties in front of him are nothing, as long as he and Mengting are together, the two of them will be able to tide over the difficulties together, but the expenses will need to be saved in the future.

Otherwise, when he returned to the production team, he would mention to Mengting that he should not buy creams and other unpalatable things.

After planning the rest of the money, Qian Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief, and before going back, he made a special trip to the state-run restaurant and bought a whole six meat buns.

After all, he came all the way, so he couldn't go back empty-handed, besides, he was tired after walking back and forth, so he had to make up for it.

A penny is hard for a good man. Here Qian Zhiyi and Wu Mengting had their first quarrel because of lack of money.

Gu Mingdong on the other end didn't do anything about reselling, but the money accumulated at home continued unabated.

When Gu Mingnan came back, he not only brought back the pickles made by Gu Xiuxiu himself, but also 20 yuan.

"Cousin Ah Qiang said that it should be given to you. If you don't accept it, he will have no face to see his relatives." Second brother Gu looked at his elder brother curiously, "Brother, why did my cousin give you the money?"

Sun Qiang was a man of his word. After Sun Shumei's job was implemented, most of her monthly salary was paid back, and Sun Qiang also used his own salary to subsidize it.

Gu Mingdong was unwilling to accept it at first, but Sun Qiang ran several times, and if he didn't accept it, Sun Qiang would not go back.

After receiving the pile of money, Gu Mingdong asked without answering, "How is Auntie's house, how are you doing?"

"It should be okay. I think the food is okay, and the looks of my cousins ​​are okay, but my uncle still doesn't want to see people."

Gu Mingdong asked again: "What about the photos, didn't you say you got them back?"

Gu Sanmei hurriedly took out a photo from her handkerchief, and each of the four adults had a family portrait.

Gu Simei didn't bother to cook anymore, so she wiped her hands and came over to watch carefully.

The twins leaned on Gu Mingdong's shoulder and looked at it, and opened their mouths in surprise: "Is this our photo? Wow, it looks like it."

Gu Mingdong looked a little distorted, but the whole family felt neat and tidy: "It's a good shot."

"In the future, let's take one picture a year and save it in a photo album. It will be interesting to read when we grow old." Gu Erdi said.

Gu Mingdong also smiled and said: "Okay, I will take some personal photos next year, save them and watch them later."

The photos at this time were not very easy to preserve. Gu Mingdong pressed his own photo in the book. For him, accumulating family photos year after year was also a new experience for No. [-] Middle School.

That night, the children couldn't bear to sleep, so they lay down together to look at the photos.

Gu Simei held her chin, pressed the photo under the desk with great care, and said, "It would be great if my sister-in-law was still here."

Gu Sanmei also said: "If our parents are still here, we will definitely be happy to see them."

"Yes, it's a pity they left too early." Gu Simei sighed.

Gu Sanmei walked over to hug her younger sister, and asked in a low voice, "Fourth sister, do you miss them?"

"I always thought about it when I was a child, but now I think less about it."

Gu Sanmei sighed: "I don't even remember what they look like."

"Hey, they didn't even leave a photo." Gu Simei's mood became gloomy.

The third sister doesn't remember it, and the fourth sister Gu doesn't remember it either. She just vaguely remembers that the dead mother didn't like her very much and never wanted to hug her.

Seeing that she was depressed, Gu Sanmei comforted her, "If you don't remember, you don't. We still have a big brother. Who in the production team doesn't envy us for having a good big brother."

Speaking of this, Gu Simei couldn't help laughing.

In the entire production team, the eldest brother was the only one who could support the younger sister to study without hesitation.

Don't let the eldest brother's money go to waste, with this in mind, the two sisters work harder.

This kind of hard work is also different in today's school, but the two sisters don't care, Gu Sanmei is stubborn and doesn't listen to others at all, Gu Simei is popular, and she doesn't care what others say.

Ever since he knew that the situation was getting worse, Gu Mingdong began to worry in his heart that the school would not last long.

He was afraid that if the second and third child didn't even get their graduation certificates, the movement would break out immediately.

The commotion in Xiyuan Town became more and more serious, and they reported each other at every turn. Sun Qiang came again, and besides giving money, he also told Gu Mingdong to avoid going to the town recently, it was too chaotic.

I have emphasized several times to tell Gu Mingdong not to do reselling work in the near future. Now that he is caught, he is not only fined, but also charged with very serious crimes, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

He was afraid that his cousin Yi Gao would be daring and hit the muzzle of the gun.

Sun Qiang sighed: "Fortunately, Yan Hai and his family left early, otherwise they would not be able to leave now."

There was a commotion at the Cultural Bureau, the library was closed, and there was a lot of commotion from top to bottom. The familiar and unfamiliar scenes always shocked Sun Qiang.

The fear brought about by the dream is deep in his heart, Sun Qiang is playing for fun now and refuses to get involved in it, and he doesn't allow his younger sister to watch the excitement, the Sun family is still safe.

Without Sun Qiang's reminder, Gu Mingdong has also restrained himself very much during this period, without making any small moves at all.

After Sun Qiang left, Gu Mingdong really restrained himself a little more. Now, unless necessary, he even went up the back mountain less, and even if he went, he would no longer bring big bags with him.

He didn't want to ruin his whole family for a few dollars.

The atmosphere in the town became more and more tense, so that Shanghe Village was also affected, and there were much less chatter and laughter in the production team.

The big guys were busy working, but they fell into an eerie silence.

Jin Laowu has become a well-known rebel in the neighborhood. Wang Mazi and Wu Laosan in their village were pulled out and raped twice because of their crimes.

Because of Gu Mingdong's relationship, Jin Lao Wu is quite interesting, whether it is a literary fight or a martial fight, the trouble is not too much.

It was in such a strange atmosphere that Gu Erdi and Gu Sanmei came back with their graduation certificates.

Gu Mingdong was also taken aback when he saw it: "Aren't you only in the second year of junior high school, why did you graduate?"

"The two of us are lucky, and the school sent it directly." Gu Erdi was still cheerful.

Gu Sanmei said with a sullen face: "Don't mention it, the school is in a mess recently, and the principal can't take care of it. This time, some students from the second year of junior high school proposed that the school treats them differently and oppresses the proletariat. They deliberately charge them an extra fee for three years. The annual tuition fee is the old society's weekly slapstick, and the dean was beaten up, and then the school issued graduation certificates to everyone."

Gu Mingdong was also speechless after listening.

Gu Sanmei said helplessly: "Nowadays there are revolutions every day, and the teacher will be knocked down. How can we still go to class normally."

In less than two months, the situation in Xiyuan Town took a sharp turn for the worse.

Gu Mingdong had no choice but to comfort his younger siblings: "At least I got my graduation certificate."

The second brother Gu was quite happy: "Yes, we got the diploma without studying for one year, which is not a profit."

Gu Sanmei had nothing in common with him, so she went to ask Simei, "Xiaobei, is your elementary school closed?"

"Not yet, but there are very few people in class, and they are all going to be popular soldiers." Gu Simei was also very worried.

Upon hearing this, Gu Mingdong said bluntly: "Then don't go there either, just study at home and let the second and third teach you."

"Let Xiaoxi teach fourth sister, I can't do it." Gu Erdi was very self-aware.

Gu Mingdong pointedly said: "If you still want to study in your heart, you should buy your high school books and put them away early. You don't have to study at school, you can also study at home."

"That's the only way to go." Gu Sanmei sighed.

Gu Mingbei hesitated: "Brother, won't these books be found at home, in case..."

"What's the matter with the textbook." Even if there is something, he can hide it.

A few days after this incident, the news came that the school was officially closed. Only then did the people in Shanghe Village know that the college entrance examination for this year had been cancelled.

The storm intensified, and it didn't take long for the vigorous revolution to officially begin.

In the precarious age, the old Gu's family was not affected much.

Gu Mingdong worked during the day and rested at night. When he had time, he studied the piece of paper he brought out of the tin box.

It's a pity that he went to the library and looked around, but couldn't find the corresponding characters. In this day and age, it is even more difficult for Gu Mingdong to find someone who is proficient in various Chinese characters.

Not to mention the intellectuals, their production teams began to be assigned the task of corruption, and even encouraged the members to report to each other, and several big dramas suddenly broke out.

Bai Xiaohua is obviously also aware of what era this is, she has been extremely quiet recently, she heard that she is pregnant again, she lies in bed every day to raise her baby, and doesn't care about other things.

The production team in Shanghe Village is not bad, most of them are poor peasants with good roots, and they can't be approved even if they ask for permission.

The production team next door was making a lot of noise.

On the contrary, the educated youths were quieter. Even Qian Zhiyi, who was always flamboyant, lowered his high forehead. The lack of money made him have to learn from the Du brothers and Xu Zhenzhen to work hard so as not to starve himself.

Wu Mengting has always been delicate, but now she also has to wash clothes, cook and go to the fields, complaining endlessly from the bottom of her heart.

They were busy with their livelihoods, but they had no time to pay attention to the old Gu's family, which allowed Gu Mingdong to enjoy the peace.

After being unable to go to school, Gu's second brother went to the field together, and Gu's third and fourth sisters also resumed their original lives.

In the blink of an eye, another year's autumn harvest came, and the Shanghe Village production team ushered in a bumper harvest, which was [-]% higher than that of the next-door production team. Old Liu Xi smiled with joy.

That is, in the autumn of this year, the second batch of educated youths were assigned. The difference from the beginning of the year was that they came with them, and there were also a few stinky old nines who were knocked down!
