Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

The old Gu's family ate the fastest meal in history, and the good chopsticks waved in a daze, and the meal was full of wind and clouds. If it wasn't for Gu Mingdong's concern, Gu's second brother could pick up the bowl and pour it into his mouth.

After cooking the food, Gu Erdi and Gu Sanmei sat on one left and one on the right, staring at their eldest brother.

No matter how good Gu Mingdong's attitude was, he couldn't bear to be stared at by them like this.

He sighed and put down his chopsticks: "How about you go out and wait?"

"Brother, you can eat some more." Gu Sanmei graciously helped him pick up vegetables, and even picked out fish bones.

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows and finished eating the fish: "Not bad, it's fresh enough."

"Brother, if you like it, eat more." Gu Erdi saw that he caught a big piece, but his skill in picking fishbone was too poor, and all the good fish meat was scattered, which was really horrible.

Gu Mingdong moved his bowl away, rejected his brother's "kindness." and expressed his firmness with his eyes.

Food can't be wasted, Gu Erdi had to swallow it by himself.

Gu Simei couldn't help laughing secretly when she saw her elder brother and sister showing great hospitality.

Gu Liangxing, a clever little ghost, even said: "Did my second uncle and third aunt do something wrong, so I want to please my father so that I don't get beaten?"

Gu Liangchen said slowly: "Dad, Second Uncle has a thick skin, you can hit it harder, and Third Aunt can forget it."

Gu Sanmei was amused, she put her arms around her nephew and said, "Sangu usually loves you for nothing."

The second younger brother Gu had a resentful look on his face, and he hugged his eldest nephew just to scratch his itch: "Stinky boy, if you don't help me, you will hurt me."

Suddenly there was a commotion, and Gu Simei had no choice but to dissuade her: "Okay, second brother and third sister, if you make trouble again, elder brother will really be angry."

Only then did they stop their commotion.

After Gu Mingdong settled the matter, the three younger ones had quickly cleaned up the dishes and sat in a row waiting for him to speak.

The twins, sent out to touch the eggs, are now struggling in the coop.

Gu Mingdong coughed: "What Sanmei said just now is true. You have all graduated from junior high school. It is really a waste to go back to the production team to farm the land."

"Brother, but you are also a junior high school graduate, and everyone praises you for being good at farming at home." Second brother Gu muttered.

Gu Mingdong looked at him, feeling that his younger brother could always poke blind spots when it was not necessary, which made people itch.

"Shut up, let the elder brother finish first." Gu Sanmei glared at him, and the former quickly shut up.

Gu Mingdong continued: "You all know the current situation in Xiyuan Town. Let's not talk about it, the jobs are also a radish and a pit."

Gu Sanmei nodded desperately: "Isn't it? In our school, if you have a graduation certificate, unless the head of the family is willing to retire and let them take over, you won't be able to find a job. I heard that the head of the family has to go When I went to the countryside, I went to the northeast and northwest, but it was hard."

Gu Erdi also said: "My classmate's sister went to the Northwest. She was very happy when she went, but she wrote a letter saying she would come back within two months, but after she went, it was so easy to come back."

"Shumei almost went to the countryside at that time, and she finally found a job. She was still a high school student..."

Thinking about it, the famine had just passed, and there was a lot of trouble here. Although the production in the city did not stop, it was affected to some extent. Instead of advancing, the economy was going backwards.

Why do the educated youths have to go to the countryside? Is it because there are not so many jobs for them in the city, where can they go if they don't go to the countryside?

Gu Sanmei said a little dejectedly: "Brother, you don't have to take my words to heart. In fact, I know from the bottom of my heart that going to the city may not be a good thing in the current situation. It's better to stay in the countryside for safety."

"No ambition." Gu Mingdong reached out and patted his younger brother and sister on the forehead, "Where's the fighting spirit that was all about going to the city before?"

Gu Sanmei was a little embarrassed: "It's not that the situation is different."

"Then you don't want to go to the city?" Gu Mingdong asked.

Gu Sanmei immediately said: "Of course not, if you have the opportunity, you must enter."

Even if the city is in chaos, she is not afraid, after all, their family roots are young, and others will definitely not find fault.

"There is an opportunity now." Gu Mingdong said.

"What chance?" The siblings' eyes widened.

On the other hand, Gu Simei only had curiosity in her eyes. After all, she was too young, and even if she had the chance, she would not be able to get her turn.

Only then did Gu Mingdong say: "Before, I asked Cousin Aqiang to help me find out which places needed temporary workers, but there was no news."

"Your cousin Ah Qiang also spent a lot of thought and found many people one after another. Later, relying on the books we read together, he found Secretary Ma. It's just that this matter is difficult."

For this reason, Sun Qiang really ran back and forth a lot. When he was not working, he focused on the important thing. Sun Shumei went to the garbage station, and she was free. Unfortunately, she didn't have many contacts and couldn't help at all.

Gu Mingdong knew that this cousin wanted to repay his original kindness, so he also accepted his kindness.

"However, when I went to Xiyuan Town today, Secretary Ma said that there is a clue."

"Really!" Gu Sanmei was the most surprised.

Gu Mingdong nodded: "I don't know exactly what happened, I'll ask tomorrow."

Gu Sanmei nodded quickly: "As long as you can go to the city and get paid every month, it doesn't matter if the work is harder or more tiring."

She kept her demands low.

A long time ago, Gu Sanmei always thought that getting married was the only way to enter the city, but now she has changed her mind.

It is difficult to enter the city by marriage, and what is even more difficult is that there is no status after entering the city. Now that the hukou is tightened, the children born may have to have rural hukou.

Besides, her family knew her family, and Gu Sanmei felt that she was not a good-tempered person, and she would die of being wronged all the time.

Because of this, Gu Sanmei worked so hard when she was studying before, and she wanted to change her fate by relying on this.

pity--

Gu Sanmei suddenly thought of something, and her face became hesitant: "Brother, if there is a chance, why don't you go?"

The second brother Gu also reacted and said: "Brother, if you have a way to find a job, then you should do it. I'm good at farming at home."

Gu Mingdong shook his head: "I don't like going to the city."

He is telling the truth, he prefers the countryside surrounded by greenery to the city, but in the eyes of his younger siblings, it is obviously a sacrifice for them.

Gu Sanmei's eyes were red, she sniffed and said, "Brother, don't think about us too much, we are still young."

Gu Mingdong laughed: "So if you can really enter the city, then you have to work hard."

"Well, I will definitely work hard and repay big brother." Gu Sanmei nodded.

The second brother Gu also said: "The salary is all for the elder brother."

Gu Mingdong smiled: "It's still undecided, I'm telling you now, I'm just afraid that the school will suspend classes, you will give up on yourself first, and live in a muddle all day long."

Gu Simei looked at her sister and said in a low voice, "Third sister teaches me every day."

Before Gu Mingdong sent a message, the two sisters often brought books home. Now Gu Sanmei is studying high school by herself, and Gu Simei is also studying junior high school by herself.

"That's fine."

Gu Mingdong planned to send his younger siblings to work in the city after careful consideration.

After all, there will be no college entrance examination in the next ten years, and living in the countryside means that there will be no way of promotion at all. Ten years is too long, and it cannot be left unused forever.

Gu Mingdong knew that this catastrophe would end, but his younger siblings didn't know it, and they would inevitably be affected in such an environment.

Finding a job and going to the city is a very good way out for the current farmers. Although it is difficult, Gu Mingdong will still find a way to do it.

Gu Mingdong regards this as a transitional period. Of course, if the younger siblings don't pursue it themselves in the future and think it's good to maintain the status quo, he will never push it away again.

After all, they were all grown-ups at that time, so he, the eldest brother, could retire with success.

Glancing at his younger siblings who were still immersed in excitement, Gu Mingdong got up and walked towards the pigsty, intending to feed him another round before going to bed.

The little piglets in the pigsty have turned into big fat pigs, and the once spacious pigsty is now crowded.

Gu Mingdong thought about feeding a few more meals recently, and by the end of the year, he would be able to gain a few more catties of meat.

There is a row of low thatched huts near the pigsty, which were used as firewood houses in the past. They were ventilated on all sides and leaked water.

The four diehards who were assigned to the Shanghe Village production team today had to live here.

The shriveled old Liu sent people here, and said directly: "Clean up yourselves, and go to work with the commune members tomorrow."

The four people who were thrown down looked at each other in blank dismay, and the white-haired old man started first, picked a place near the corner and put down to salute.

The couple were a little nervous, the man thought for a while, put his things next to the old man, let his wife next to him, and his daughter slept on the other side.

The old man glanced at their small movements, and said lightly: "If you are worried, you can find a way by yourself, hang a curtain or something in the middle."

The man forced a smile: "It doesn't mean that."

The white-haired old man didn't care what he meant, he just climbed into bed and stopped talking.

The couple looked at each other and tidied up their hands and feet quickly. Cultural people are different. After a simple tidying up, the room looked much brighter.

Both Wu Wei and Zhou Zijin are scholars, professors at Huaqing University. Wu Wei also has the experience of studying abroad. He is a solid high-level intellectual, and even if he is in trouble, he will not be able to get rid of the smell of books.

Compared with the families in this era where labor and Yan are separated, and even turned against each other, the three of them can still be together neatly, which is considered extremely lucky.

"Mom, there are six big fat pigs over there." The little girl went out to look around and shouted in surprise.

The couple also went over to take a look, and were also surprised to see the big fat pig: "It's so big and fat."

Wu Wei murmured: "The popularity of this production team looks good. They should be able to eat well. These pigs are so fat. It seems that the production team should not be short of food."

If the production team has more food, their situation will be much better.

Zhou Zijin also said: "The captain doesn't talk much, but he seems to have a good temper, and those members didn't deliberately make things difficult for us."

They suffered a lot along the way. Unlike the educated youths who went to the countryside, when others heard that they were sent to the countryside to reform, they all lost face.

Many people don't see them as human beings at all!

On the way, the couple secretly observed the people in Shanghe Village, seeing that their expressions were relaxed, and they were not that kind of radicals, so they were really relieved.

Wu Xuanxuan has always been protected by her parents, she is less cautious, and said: "Dad, Mom, if you say we work hard, will we be able to get meat by the end of the year?"

Before the couple could answer, they saw a man walking down the path with a large bucket in his hand, looking up at them.

When Gu Mingdong looked expressionless, he looked ferocious, with an unkind ferocity, which immediately frightened the couple, and the little girl subconsciously hid behind her parents.

Their faces changed suddenly, and they explained repeatedly: "Comrade, my daughter didn't mean that. She is just young and ignorant, and she didn't want to be greedy for the meat of the production team."

Gu Mingdong poured a large bucket of pig grass into the trough, and the six pigs began to eat without a word.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the three of them became even more nervous.

Gu Mingdong glanced at them, and said lightly: "I'm in charge of the pigsty, you can take a look, don't feed them casually."

"Yes, yes, we will definitely not mess around." Wu Wei said hastily.

"We won't come here anymore." Zhou Zijin said directly.

Gu Mingdong knew their worries, nodded, and suddenly asked, "Where's the old man who came with you?"

Wu Wei didn't expect that he would suddenly ask about the white-haired old man, and quickly replied: "He is probably old, tired all day, and lay down to rest when he got there."

Gu Mingdong suddenly asked: "He used to be a Feng Shui master?"

The couple were a little confused about what he meant.

Wu Wei looked at his face, lowered his voice and said, "What kind of Fengshui masters are all ghosts and monsters now."

Zhou Zijin was also a little nervous, and said repeatedly: "We are not familiar with him, and we were not from the same way at first, but we just happened to be assigned to a production team."

Seeing the husband and wife almost had caution written on their faces, Gu Mingdong didn't ask any more questions.

He was curious about the white-haired old man, but he felt that the old man was a little strange, with an inexplicable smell on his body.

Gu Mingdong had to lament that the memory of the original owner was too narrow. The original owner of the educated youths even had some impressions, and they were all related to Wu Mengting, but these people had no memory at all.

I don't know if the original owner is only immersed in his own world and doesn't care about everything in the outside world, or these people are too low-key.

Gu Mingdong turned around and left, and the family of three breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Xuanxuan patted her small chest and said, "This big brother looks scary, but he's still pretty good."

Zhou Zijin said helplessly: "You know again, you just said a few words, how do you know whether he is a good person or a bad person."

"If it was a bad person, how could he speak to us in such a harmonious manner." Wu Xuanxuan said.

Wu Wei laughed and went back with his wife and daughter: "It's good to be kind, and it proves that the people in this place are kind."

The three of them relaxed a little, but when they returned to the thatched cottage, the old man with white hair disappeared.

Wu Wei was startled and said, "Where are the others, where is the kung fu going?"

Zhou Zijin frowned: "It should just go out for a walk, otherwise where else can I go."

Wu Xuanxuan said: "Mom and Dad, I think that old man is mysterious, can he really read Feng Shui?"

"Don't shut up, it will be bad luck for others to hear you." Zhou Zijin shouted sharply.

Wu Xuanxuan stuck out her tongue, not daring to speak anymore.

The family of three didn't know that the white-haired old man was standing in front of Gu Mingdong at this moment.

Those eyes, as deep as a goshawk, were fixed on Gu Mingdong's body.
