Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

As night fell, the moon was particularly bright this night, illuminating the way home for the brothers and sisters.

Gu Mingxi lowered his head and kicked a stone under his feet: "Brother, forget it."

"I just got a feeling when I arrived at my aunt's house today. If it goes well, my cousin will definitely pull me and tell you. I know that with her temperament, if there is really no other way, she will definitely not tell you."

"I really want to go to the city to be a worker, but you are right, you have to be strong to forge iron. Even if I can't study now, I will study hard, and there will definitely be opportunities in the future."

Of the brothers and sisters of the Gu family, Gu Mingxi is the smartest. Even if he doesn't know the truth, he knows what will happen after thinking about it.

The left and right are just people who have taken a fancy to her work, or Cousin Shumei can't help it.

Gu Mingxi was very upset in his heart, but he still comforted his brother in turn. After more than a year, the little girl has grown a lot, and on the contrary, she is not so persistent about going to the city.

I haven't seen my eldest brother come back this afternoon. When I saw him again, I saw that my eldest brother was sweating profusely. He knew that he had gone to a lot of places. Gu Simei couldn't help feeling regretful and distressed.

Thinking about it now, in order to raise their three younger siblings, the eldest brother has a much heavier burden than his peers in the production team. They lost their parents, so the eldest brother took on the responsibility of the eldest son.

But Gu Mingxi felt vaguely in her heart that this shouldn't be the case. She didn't want to be like others and become the oil bottle of the elder brother, and let the elder brother worry about everything.

She didn't even want to cause her elder brother to run back and forth, spend money and effort to humble himself, and end up in vain because of herself.

Without their three younger siblings, would the elder brother have a better life? Gu Mingxi sometimes thinks so.

What the little girl didn't know was that these words made Gu Mingdong feel emotional.

He still remembered that when he saw Gu Sanmei for the first time, he felt in his heart that this little girl was not very capable, and that she was too high-minded, and that she might be at a disadvantage in the future.

Compared with the stubborn second child who is naive, and the well-behaved and sensible but caring fourth child, Gu Mingdong admits from the bottom of his heart that he pays the least attention and expectations to the third child.

But now, Gu Mingdong suddenly felt that the third child in his family was also a sensible and good boy, or he had grown up.

In the night, Gu Mingdong chuckled lightly: "Really give up?"

Gu Sanmei said helplessly: "The situation is stronger than others. I am also fine at home, and I can also help with work and look after the children."

"It's so tiring to be a worker. You see, the second child has to get up before dawn. He is so busy all day long that he can't even drink hot water."

"There is also cousin Aqiang, who has been so busy that he has not had a rest all year round. He is so tired that he goes home and falls asleep every day."

"Shumei's job looks easy, but she has to be picked up by others."

I don't know if these words are convincing Gu Mingdong, or convincing himself.

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows, and said, "It turns out that you prefer to work and take care of your children. If that's the case, I'll tell Shumei not to keep the job, just sell it."

Gu Sanmei raised her drooping head suddenly, her eyes were shining brightly under the night light: "Brother, what did you say?"

Gu Mingdong said with a smile: "I encountered some problems before. Someone deliberately made things difficult for your cousin, but it has been resolved now."

"Since you don't want it, you can sell it for three hundred and five hundred."

"Really?" Gu Sanmei couldn't believe it.

Gu Mingdong asked back: "Don't you believe in elder brother?"

Gu Sanmei finally couldn't help but cheered: "That's great, I thought I had no chance."

Gu Mingdong joked: "Don't you think the garbage station is indecent now, too tired, too busy?"

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, the garbage station is great, it's easy, rich, and doesn't need to be supervised, it's better than the biscuit factory, it's on the way from our house to Xiyuan Town, it's convenient for me to go home. " Gu Sanmei said repeatedly.

Gu Mingdong also smiled: "I guess I have to go through the formalities in the next two days."

Gu Sanmei was jumping up and down laughing, if she wasn't afraid of scaring people in the middle of the night, she really wanted to shout out how happy she was.

"Brother, what did you do this afternoon, why did it suddenly work?"

Gu Mingdong smiled: "Now is the world of the proletariat, but some people put their bodies on a vegetarian diet and present the officials and lords of the feudal society. I let them fully understand their own ideological mistakes."

Gu Sanmei agreed very much: "Yes, we should teach them a lesson. If you don't want to serve the people, make things difficult for us little people."

"Brother, when can I go to handover?"

"When will Cousin Shumei go to the biscuit factory?"

"The garbage station is quite close to our production team, and the working hours are also fixed. I just leave early and return late like I used to go to school, and I can go home in time every day."

"Maybe I'll have time to go home and cook."

"We call it a garbage bin. In fact, it says it is a recycling bin. Then I can see what things I can use at home. This is the first month to get close to the water!"

The excited Gu Sanmei has already started planning for the future.

Gu Mingdong listened with a smile, echoing from time to time.

After leaving Sun's house this afternoon, Gu Mingdong went to find Sun Qiang first, and found out about the cadre of the Revolutionary Committee from him.

Sun Qiang was afraid that he would come to the door rashly, so he refused to speak at first, and then he spoke only after repeated assurances.

After getting the person's information, Gu Mingdong followed the address to find it.

Of course, he wouldn't come to the door rashly. After all, Sun Shumei bought this job, and now it's a bit illegal to transfer it to her cousin in the country. It's not good for anyone to start a fight.

The cadre Wang of the Revolutionary Committee also took advantage of this point, knowing that the Sun family would not dare to make a fuss, so he dared to do so.

To Gu Mingdong's surprise, the yard where Cadre Wang lives is actually next door to Yan Hai's house.

After asking, I found out that Cadre Wang used to live in a tube building, and the whole family lived in a small house. When the trouble started this year, he squeezed into a position in a revolutionary committee and moved here.

The original homeowner, of course, had a problem with the ingredients and had already been knocked down.

At the moment there are only husband and wife in the family, and several children have become red soldiers. It is said that they have gone out to make connections.

Gu Mingdong originally planned to come here today to find out the truth, but when he got there, he found that Officer Wang was actually at home.

With a change of mind, he jumped directly into the yard of Yan Hai's house, leaning against the wall to watch what happened next door.

Cadre Wang is a lean man, not tall, with a serious face, and he looks really upright and selfless.

But if he is really honest and selfless, he will not be able to overthrow the original owner and move in by himself.

To solve Sun Shumei's problem is not difficult, but it is not easy to say simple.

The best way is to solve the person who caused the problem, otherwise, if there is such a vulgar staring at him, even if Gu Mingxi gets in, it will be troublesome.

When Gu Mingdong arrived, the neighbor was eating.

Officer Wang asked, "Is the meal ready?"

"Okay, okay." His daughter-in-law brought out a bowl of porridge so thin that it could be used as a mirror, and put a chopstick of pickled vegetables on it.

Officer Wang nodded in satisfaction, walked out with the porridge, and purposely sat at the door to eat.

The person at the other end saw it, and said strangely: "Old Zhou, you eat this at noon? Are you really hungry?"

"Our whole family was born as a poor peasant, and we can survive hunger with the will of the proletariat." Official Wang said with a serious face.

The person on the opposite side was taken aback, and said with a sneer, "You and your wife are both paid wages, so it shouldn't be like this."

"Although we are both cadres, our salary is not much. There are seniors and juniors, and we don't have to be afraid of not having enough money. We can get through it if we tighten our belts." Official Wang said immediately.

The man said hehe: "Then you are really a good cadre of the proletariat, you don't take people's stitches."

What he said was obviously sarcastic. After all, Xiyuan Town is only so big, and no one knows who it is.

Cadre Wang didn't know whether he didn't understand, or he was just pretending to be stupid, so he followed the words and said: "This is what we should do. To serve the people, we must not be afraid of hardships or difficulties."

The person on the opposite side couldn't laugh anymore, and didn't want to really offend the members of the Revolutionary Committee, so he simply closed the door and rode away directly.

As soon as the people left, Officer Wang saw no one left and right, so he stopped drinking the porridge and went straight into the house.

"Quickly, quickly, take out the food, this porridge can make birds fade out of my mouth."

After three or two efforts, a table full of dishes was placed in the room.

Regardless of whether there is fish or meat, there is a large bowl full of rice, and there is no water in the clear soup.

Officer Wang shook off his chopsticks and started to eat. After finishing his meal, he leaned back on the chair and said something about comfort.

"This meat is good, I'll buy some more tomorrow." He confessed.

But the wife of the Wang family said: "It's hard to buy meat now, and it's a gift from someone else."

"It's her man who was taken away for investigation last night, and his surname seems to be Jin."

"The surname is Jin, oh, I remembered, the man has studied abroad." Officer Wang sneered, "His resume is impossible to get out, wait until he is sent down to renovate and live in a cowshed."

The woman was taken aback, and quickly asked: "Then what should I do, I have taken everything from his house, should I return it?"

"What did you send?"

"A gold bracelet and a jade pendant. They look pretty good. That family has something."

Officer Wang smacked his lips and said, "Their family used to be rich, and they probably still have some money. You can make more money, and we'll talk about it when you've got enough."

The woman nodded and said, "I didn't bring anything back. I hid it in the old house as you ordered."

"Your method is good. We got all the things and put them in the old house. There are usually no people there. If you are really going to be discovered, it can be said that someone is jealous of your integrity and deliberately stuffed it in to frame you."

"Yes, that's what I said when I was discovered, but no one usually goes to that place."

The couple talked for a while, nothing more than how to get benefits from those who were investigated or knocked down.

The family properties of these people have been confiscated, but they still have family members.

At this stall, many family members would choose to cut ties with them, but there were also those who begged in private to find a way out for them.

Don't look at the glory of these people in the past, but now it's in his hands, that's not what he decides.

The husband and wife are more upright than anyone else on the surface, but they earn this cruel money secretly.

The left and right money and things were taken, and if they didn't help with the work, it would not be considered a violation. The higher ups couldn't find out, and those family members had their own stains.

It is already the consensus of the couple to take money and do nothing.

The couple are also very careful at ordinary times, pretending to be a poor peasant to the outside world, absolutely not letting anyone catch their pigtails.

The woman asked again: "How is the Sun's house, have you let go?"

Officer Wang snorted coldly, "I'm very ignorant."

"Then what to do, they are a working family, so it's not easy to attack." The woman frowned.

"Old Wang, let me tell you, I am just such a younger brother. He has never suffered since he was a child. If he really goes to the countryside, it will be fine. My mother and your mother-in-law have to live in our house and cry. I can't bear it. "

"Okay, okay, you still don't feel relieved when I do things, and you will definitely not let your brother go to the countryside."

Officer Wang said, "Give her a few more days to think about it. If she doesn't agree, I have plenty of ways to deal with her."

"I heard that Sun Qiang is still friends with Yan Hai next door, and the Yan family is also fateful, so they got the news early and left, otherwise we would be able to live in their house right now."

Cadre Wang also regretted: "Hey, it's a step too late."

The woman also sighed, and said, "Talk to the Sun family, and if you are sensible, let her work in the biscuit factory, and let her work at the garbage station, or she will stop doing anything and go home to prepare Go to the countryside."

The couple had a good idea. If it weren't for the fact that the cadre Wang at the biscuit factory couldn't intervene at all, and Sun Shumei bowed her head and agreed, it might have been done long ago.

When Gu Mingdong next door heard this, his eyes turned cold.

Soon, Officer Wang went out to work, and the women behind washed and brushed, and soon closed the door and left.

Gu Mingdong easily climbed over the wall and searched carefully. The couple were indeed very cautious.

Except for the fish they ate just now, there is nothing valuable in the house, which fits the identity of a poor peasant.

Presumably, all the things of unknown origin and not in line with status symbols were hidden by the couple in the so-called old house.

Gu Mingdong frowned, looked around, and a good idea popped up in his heart.

Having made up his mind, Gu Mingdong didn't follow Officer Wang, but instead followed his wife to work.

Waiting until it was time to get off work, I saw a haggard woman pulling her from a distance. The two talked for a while in the alley. The woman gritted her teeth and stuffed the small bag in her hand into hers.

After the two separated, Cadre Wang's daughter-in-law didn't go home directly, but took a detour to an old house instead.

This area is a well-known slum area in Xiyuan Town. The houses are all thatched huts with earthen walls, which look like dangerous buildings. Now there are fewer people living here.

The woman quietly got into one of the houses and came out after a long time.

After she left, Gu Mingdong walked into the room.

The woman is very careful. The broken tables and stools in the house are covered with dust, and there are almost no traces of people's activities.

But this did not bother Gu Mingdong, he only felt a little, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Everything in the house is invisible to him.

At the back of the kitchen cupboard there is a half-sized hole, and there is a clay pot in the hole.

Gu Mingdong reached out and took it out, it was heavy, and when he opened it, it was full of evidence of the couple's wealth accumulation.

With so many things, I don't know how many people this couple has harmed.

After shaking the clay pot, Gu Mingdong frowned. If this evidence is not used well, it will have little effect.

Gu Mingdong knew very well that the couple wanted to retreat, but the evidence was found in the old house, and the couple still had room for sophistry. The surname Wang is so flattering, maybe they can find an excuse to escape.

If you hit a snake, you will not die but you will suffer from it. You have to hit it with one blow.

Suddenly, Gu Mingdong thought of a good idea.

He frowned, and nodded to the little guy in his mouth: "It's time for you to come in handy."

The ability shook his head mischievously.

When Officer Wang returned home, he saw his wife's beaming expression: "How about it, do they have any good things at home?"

The woman smiled and gestured: "It's such a big gold bar."

When Officer Wang heard this, he immediately scolded: "The one who wears gold and silver, isn't that a slut? It's their family's fate."

"That's right, this thing will belong to our family from now on." The woman said with a smile, "Let's hide it well and bring it out after ten or twenty years. It's enough to be a family heirloom."

"Yes, keep it as a family heirloom for our son, and see who dares to despise our poor family in the future."

Cadre Wang was so happy that he wanted to drink two cups, but the dishes at night were not good enough.

The woman comforted: "I went to the old house at night, and I don't have time to buy vegetables. I'll buy meat for you tomorrow."

Cadre Wang just drank some wine with peanuts and sang songs with his legs crossed.

Just as it was beautiful, there was a strong knock on the door outside.

"Open the door, open the door quickly."

Officer Wang's expression changed: "Put it away quickly."

The woman moved quickly, and Officer Wang saw that he was almost hidden, so he went out, complaining in his heart: If you don't even let people eat well, what kind of bastard is this big night.

Unexpectedly, when the door opened, it turned out to be Zhu. This person was also a cadre in the Revolutionary Committee, and the two of them were particularly hostile.

Officer Wang said angrily, "What are you doing here?"

Officer Zhu sneered: "Comrade Wang, someone reported you for corruption and bribery. Now I am ordered to search your home. Please cooperate."

Officer Wang's face changed, and he scolded righteously: "Who is slandering the good officials of the country and the people? My surname Wang sits upright and stands upright, with a clear conscience."

He usually pretended to be decent, and he had a lot of prestige. A group of red armbands who followed Officer Zhu lowered their heads, not daring to look up at him. Officer Wang became proud in his heart.

"If you have a clear conscience, let us search it carefully." Leader Zhu finally waited for the opportunity, so he would not give him a sophistry.

Officer Wang threatened with a cold face: "Comrade Xiao Zhu has thought about it clearly, my family has eight generations of poor peasants, and their roots are good and young. It is not something that can be slandered by just one person."

Officer Zhu was not afraid of him at all: "You usually search other people's homes so fast, why is your home so expensive that you can't search it?"

"Also, we have the same job, please call me Comrade Zhu."

"You came to my house to search, does Director Wang know about this?" Officer Wang asked again.

Officer Zhu's face darkened: "If there is a report, there must be a verification. It doesn't matter whether Director Wang knows or not."

Officer Wang stepped aside with a sneer: "You can search if you want. If you find nothing today, I will sue you for slandering a people's cadre."

But the bottom of my heart was full of joy. While scolding Officer Zhu bloody, he also thought that Director Wang didn't know what to do. When Director Wang knew that the people under his command were disobedient, he would go over him to check on the cadre he relied on the most. , then there is this surnamed Zhu who looks good.

Officer Zhu directly led the people inside. When he entered the door, he sneered and said, "Hey, there are peanuts and wine. Old Wang, your life is better than that of capitalists?"

Officer Wang glared at his wife who was not moving fast enough: "The peanuts are grown by my mother, and the wine is bought by me with my salary. Why, I have to ask you how I spend my salary?"

Officer Zhu said with a smile: "Of course you don't need to ask me how you spend your salary. It's not enough to be a comrade. I'm afraid you will be corrupted by the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism."

"I just love this drink, and it's not against the law to drink." Officer Wang didn't love him either.

Watching a group of red armbands enter the room and rummage around, but they couldn't find anything, Officer Wang was very proud. He had already prepared for this group of people to find nothing at all.

Officer Wang even thought that he would take advantage of this opportunity to catch this cheat surnamed Zhu, and sue him in front of the leader tomorrow, so that he would be in bad luck.

Thinking of Zhu's bad luck and the good days when he was promoted and made a fortune, Officer Wang almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

At this moment, a red armband shouted: "Found it, here it is."

Officer Zhu's eyes lit up, and he ran over with someone.

I saw a thin red armband dragging a clay pot from under the bed.

Seeing the clay pot clearly, Officer Wang felt his eyes go dark, and looked at his wife in disbelief, who also widened his eyes.

Officer Zhu rushed over, raised the clay pot and slammed it down hard. With a loud crash, the gold, silver and jade objects were scattered all over the floor.

Officer Wang looked at the dazzling golden color, rolled his eyes, and knew that he was completely finished.

After hiding the pot under the bed without anyone noticing it, Gu Mingdong waited patiently until Gan Gan broke in and found the pot full of stolen goods.

There was a wailing sound from next door, but Gu Mingdong didn't look any further, and turned to pick up his sister.

It was not in vain that he found Cadre Wang's opponent on purpose, and delivered this meritorious "report letter" to him.

Presumably Wang cadres have exhausted all their organs, and they will be forced to reform like those he defeated for the rest of their lives.

Gu Sanmei was excited all the way, and when she was about to reach Shanghe Village, she began to mutter again: "Brother, let's hurry up, Xiaobei hasn't seen us go home, so he must be worried."

"It's not a few steps away." Gu Mingdong smiled.

Before going out, he explained that if the two of them came back late, Gu Simei would take the children to eat first.

Gu Sanmei anxiously wanted to go home and tell her sister the good news, so she couldn't help but trot.

Who knew that when she passed the small bamboo forest at the entrance of the village, she exclaimed, "What's that sound?"

Gu Mingdong stretched out his hand to grab his sister, and glanced in the direction of the small bamboo forest: "It must be some kind of bug calling."

"What kind of bug makes such a strange noise." Gu Sanmei looked in the direction of the small bamboo forest.

"Aren't you afraid that the fourth sister will be worried? Don't look at it, let's go." Gu Mingdong pushed his sister.

Gu Sanmei couldn't care less about being serious, and hurried to the house.

The two brothers and sisters walked away slowly, and the wild mandarin duck hiding in the small bamboo forest was relieved.
