Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

The boss of the Liu family sent Qian Zhiyi to the town health center that day, but was told that he couldn't see him and had to wait until the next day to go to the county hospital.

Qian Zhiyi could only ask the doctor to do a simple treatment first, but he didn't fix it, so Bai Xiaohua was sent in.

At that time, there was chaos, and the doctors were busy delivering babies, so there was no time to take care of him.

After finally surviving until the next day, Qian Zhiyi hurried the boss of the Liu family to take him to the county hospital, but the two met Wu Mengting at the gate of the hospital.

The boss of the Liu family was kind. After sending the two of them to the car, he rode his bicycle back to Shanghe Village.

Qian Zhiyi had nothing to do with him, so he had to rely on Wu Mengting.

Fortunately, after a lot of tossing, the two finally arrived at the county hospital. Wu Mengting needs someone to take care of everything. How could she know the hospital's procedures? After a long time of tossing, Qian Zhiyi finally saw a doctor.

Qian Zhiyi wanted to stay for a few more days, but the doctor refused. He put a plaster cast on him and urged him to leave the hospital, saying that the broken leg could be raised at home and should not take up public resources.

Wu Mengting also went to the yard secretly. Uncle Qian had left long ago, and something happened in the yard, and even the door was smashed down. Wu Mengting was so frightened that she left quickly.

The two had no choice but to find a way out, so they had to go back to Shanghe Village.

The other educated youths took home leave to return to their hometowns, and no one lived there for a few days, and the educated youth center was deserted.

Wu Mengting strenuously helped Qian Zhiyi to lie down on the bed, she couldn't help panting after doing all this, her body became weak from exhaustion.

As soon as Qian Zhi saw this, he knew that he could only rely on Wu Mengting to take care of him during the time he was injured, and said softly: "Mengting, you have worked hard these days, if it weren't for your caring care, I really don't know what to do .”

When Wu Mengting heard this, she immediately smiled: "Brother Zhiyi, there is no need to talk about this between us."

Qian Zhiyi stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and said, "Meng Ting, it's lucky to have you here."

With a flash in Wu Mengting's eyes, she knew that the matter of her secretly following and taking the map was over. She leaned into his arms with a smile, and said softly: "I am willing to do these things, who made me like you."

Qian Zhiyi's eyes warmed up when he heard this, and he gently stroked her long hair: "Although life is full of disasters and we have fallen into this ghost place, as long as we are still together, I am not afraid of anything."

Wu Mengting looked at him hesitantly, she really wanted to ask about the map, but she was afraid that Qian Zhiyi would get angry.

Qian Zhiyi took the initiative to say: "Mengting, you also saw that map, didn't you?"

"Brother Zhiyi, I didn't mean it. You fainted at the time, I just wanted to put it away first and return it to you when you wake up."

"Don't worry, I believe you." Qian Zhiyi lowered his eyes slightly, his face tender, "It's my fault, I shouldn't hide it from you."

"Actually, I don't want to hide it from you. It's just that this matter is very important. My father and third uncle have explained it many times, and I dare not go against their wishes. Mengting, I believe you can understand me, right?"

What else could Wu Mengting do, she could only grit her teeth and say, "I understand you."

"Brother Zhiyi, Mengting understands in her heart that no matter what you do, you will never harm me."

Seeing that she was still gentle and considerate, Qian Zhiyi was satisfied, and put his arms around Wu Mengting: "Thank you for understanding me, Mengting, please rest assured, when I succeed, I will definitely take you out of the sea of ​​suffering."

Wu Mengting's heart skipped a beat, and she became more gentle: "What are you talking about, I will take care of you, just because I like you."

It's obvious that each has their own ghosts, but they are harmonious.

The two snuggled together, looking extremely warm, but they didn't know that everything they longed for in their hearts was doomed to be hopeless.

With the suspension of work and production, the production team has become more and more old-fashioned.

There has been a lot of trouble in the past few years. At the mobilization meeting at the end of the year, the old Liu also tried his best to advocate the elimination of feudal superstitions.

But no one cares about cleaning the house and preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

This year, the old Gu family had two workers, and the production team received a lot of meat and rice noodles. From the beginning of the [-]th year, the Gu family brothers and sisters rolled up their sleeves and began to prepare delicious food.

Gu Mingdong specially prepared a large pot of vegetable oil, and together with Gu's second hair, it is enough for the family to use for a long time.

With Gu Mingdong's insistence, Gu Mingnan's persuasion, and Gu Sanmei's persuasion, Gu Simei finally relented and made fried snacks.

On the day of New Year's Eve, she wiped the iron pot clean so that there was no water left. After drying it, she poured a small pot of vegetable oil into it.

The croquettes, fried lotus root, fried eggplant box, fried spring rolls, fried twist, and the last bit of oil was carefully calculated by Gu Simei, and they were all used to fry fish pieces.

The smell of frying wafts far away, and the smell of meat is not to mention very attractive.

Fortunately, it was New Year's Eve, and every household was willing to eat pork in the oil pan, but not many people paid attention to the strong fragrance.

Stacks of fried food filled the plate, even Gu Mingdong felt his sense of taste was wide open.

Gu Mingnan couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch a croquette and stuffed it into his mouth, screaming that it was delicious while it was hot.

Gu Sanmei glared at him, but she picked up three balls and distributed them to the children. Gu Liangxing looked exactly like Gu Mingnan's own son, eating in exactly the same way.

Gu Liangchen was patient, put the meatballs in a bowl and ate them cold.

Gu Yun looked at the croquettes with some confusion, swallowed but didn't move.

Gu Mingdong knew what she was thinking, reached out and touched her head, and said: "Eat, Dad will give it to you after eating."

Gu Yun looked up at him, saw him make a hand gesture and immediately understood, and then began to eat with small mouthfuls of treasure.

Gu Liangxing finished eating in three bites, and looked at the rest eagerly: "Sangu, can I have another piece?"

Gu Sanmei ruthlessly refused, and slapped Gu's second hand away secretly: "No, I will be full after eating, and I will eat it after the New Year's Eve dinner."

"The croquettes have to be freshly fried to be delicious." Gu Mingnan muttered unhappily.

Gu Simei pursed her lips and smiled, simply took out all the fried food and handed it to Gu Mingnan.

Before Gu Mingnan was happy, he heard his sister order: "You send it to the third uncle's house."

One day during Chinese New Year, their family had a hard time, and sometimes they couldn't even afford meat, but for the New Year's Eve dinner, Uncle Gu would always send a bowl of meat over.

When Gu Mingnan heard it, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go see it off, A Xing and A Chen, will you come with me?"

"I'm not going, I want to see the third and fourth aunt's croquettes." Gu Liangxing firmly refused.

Gu Liangchen hadn't finished eating his meatballs yet, knowing that if he left, his brother would definitely come over to eat, so he shook his head firmly.

Gu Mingnan had no choice but to go by himself.

When he left, Gu Sanmei couldn't help laughing and said, "Fortunately, he was sent away, otherwise he would eat as much as we fried."

Gu Mingdong smiled and said: "Then fry more, and you won't be able to eat if you are full."

Gu Simei was feeling sorry for the big pot of oil, and when she heard this, she said: "The fried food is delicious, but it consumes oil. If we cook with so much oil, we can eat it for a month."

"It's okay, I'll buy it when I run out." Gu Mingdong also thinks the fried food is delicious, especially the fried dough twist made by Gu Simei, which is delicious and crispy. It's a pity that there is no sesame at home, otherwise the taste will be even better Floors.

"This mahua is not bad. The mahua can be stored well. Let's fry more for Chinese New Year."

Gu Simei smiled and said: "That's not true, there are oil, sugar and white flour in it, can it be delicious?"

"If elder brother likes to eat, I'll make more and leave it to eat slowly." Although she felt distressed, Gu Simei still made some more.

Seeing that they were all busy, Gu Mingdong found a bag and put a few pieces of croquettes, fried lotus root and fried eggplant in it, and put a little bit of each. If it was Gu Mingnan, the two younger sisters would definitely ask, but this time I didn't see it at all.

When Gu Mingdong turned around and went out, Gu Sanmei asked gossipingly: "Who is this brother going to give to? Is it possible that he has his eyes on another sister-in-law?"

Gu Liangxing glanced at Gu Yun, who lowered his head and gnawed on the balls desperately.

Gu Simei said, "I'm usually at home, so I haven't heard any rumors."

"Where does he go with his stuff? He doesn't want to eat alone behind our backs." Gu Sanmei was puzzled.

Gu Mingdong left late, but he came back before Gu Mingnan, but his hands were empty, and the bag disappeared.

Gu Sanmei winked at her younger sister.

At this moment, Gu Mingnan also came back, ignorant of what happened just now, and shouted: "Third Uncle and Third Aunt are so happy, and let me bring back a bowl of meat."

Gu Sanmei took a look at the braised pork: "It looks like the handicraft of the third aunt. They have a lot of family members, so there must be not enough meat. The third uncle is too polite."

"I also said no, the third aunt insisted on giving it, and I would be angry if I didn't take it." Gu Mingnan leaned against the earthen stove, and took another bite of the twist.

Gu Sanmei said: "In the past, the third uncle wanted to give it, but the third aunt stopped it, but now it's the other way around."

Gu Mingnan then said: "What our family is like now is what it used to be, can it be the same?"

As soon as these words were said, several people were shocked.

The four brothers and sisters of the old Gu family have all lived a hard life and have seen other people look down on them. When their family was in the most difficult time, apart from Uncle Gu, even Aunt Gu and two cousins ​​were indifferent to them. .

But now the situation at home has improved, and the relatives have suddenly become kind-hearted and affectionate towards them.

Although they are all relatives, sometimes when they think about it, they feel bad in their hearts.

Human feelings are hot and cold, and the world is hot and cold, but that's all.

Seeing their complex expressions, Gu Mingdong said, "It's human nature, don't ask for trouble."

"That's right, let's eat meat if there is any meat, what to do if we think so much." Gu Mingnan shrugged, and casually took the fried meatballs out.

Second brother Gu is very open minded. In the past, the third aunt spoke in a strange way, so he would not talk to her. Now that he is enthusiastic and generous, he will follow suit, and he just needs to understand it in his heart.

The Gu family sisters looked at each other, and felt that there was no need to think too much, otherwise they would be in a bad mood, and they knew from the bottom of their hearts that in this world itself, there are many icing on the cake and little charcoal in the snow.

The little episode passed in a flash, but the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner at the old Gu's family has just begun.

On the other side, Zheng Tong didn't expect that Gu Mingdong could bring him fried food.

However, thinking that Gu Mingdong sent him to translate more and more words recently, it seems that his mind has changed, and he asks him about metaphysics from time to time, and he seems to be interested in learning, Zheng Tong accepts it with peace of mind, just as an apprentice It's a gift.

He was even happier in his heart that the old Gu's family had good conditions and could give him some, so Xiao Yun'er would definitely be able to eat it too.

With such thoughts in mind, Zheng Tong walked back humming a ditty.

The smell of meat was everywhere in the production team, but it made the three people in the thatched cottage very hungry.

Compared with the more difficult situation in other places, Shanghe Village is not too harsh on them, but they don’t have to eat, wear and wear well. After a year of hard work, most of what they get is coarse grains and old rice. As for meat, they don’t even need it. think.

In less than a year since they came here, Wu Wei and his wife looked much older. Looking at it now, no one would have thought that both of them are university professors with poems and books in their stomachs.

New Year's Eve is always special. Wu Wei and his wife thought of ways to make it richer, but they had limited conditions. In the end, they were willing to cook plain rice and two dishes, one cabbage, one radish, and even a little oil star nothing.

Just like that, Wu Xuanxuan pretended to be surprised and happy: "Wow, today's New Year's Eve dinner is so sumptuous, it makes me hungry."

Wu Wei and Zhou Zijin saw their daughter comforting them with a strong smile, and they also smiled: "If you like it, eat more, come, come, eat some rice, today's rice is steamed."

At this moment, the old man Zheng from the next door came back, smelling like meat.

The three looked at him in unison.

Zheng Tong chuckled, and put the bag on the table. When he unfolded it, the fried food inside was exposed. Wu Xuanxuan swallowed subconsciously, but her tutor made her hold back her hand.

Zheng Tong took the initiative to invite: "On New Year's Eve, it's too deserted to have a New Year's Eve dinner alone, let's join in."

The three members of the Wu family only had rice and vegetables, but Zheng Tong had meat, so it was clear that they had taken advantage of it.

Wu Wei subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Zhou Zijin pulled his sleeves. Looking at his daughter's appearance, he suddenly remembered that this child hadn't eaten meat for more than a year.

Looking at her daughter's skinny cheeks, Wu Wei's heart aches as if being pricked by a needle.

Wu Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Old man, then we will be thick-skinned."

Zhou Zijin had already got up to help him get the bowls and chopsticks, and also filled a bowl full of white rice: "Old man, sit down and eat together."

Zheng Tong was not polite to them either, he ate happily with white rice and fried food.

The Wu family only shared a croquette to taste, and left the rest to their daughter and Zheng Tong.

Wu Xuanxuan wanted to be reserved, but once she tasted the meat, she forgot all about it. She ate without raising her head. When there was meat, she would eat as soon as she tasted it. Even the boiled vegetables and radishes became delicious, until all the food was eaten. Clean, she wiped her mouth in embarrassment.

After such a meal, the relationship between the four people in the thatched cottage became more harmonious with the family.

The Wu family couple was a little wary of Zheng Tong. At the beginning, seeing Zheng Tong's age, he was afraid that he would not be able to endure the hard work of the production team, so the couple would help each other if they could.

But as time passed, they all lived in the same place, and the couple were smart people, so they soon discovered something was wrong.

Wu Xuanxuan was doted on by her parents, tried not to let her do heavy and tiring work, and lost a lot of weight, but Zheng Tong's face was flushed, if it wasn't for the white hair in front of his face, he usually looked like an invisible person, the production team would have I found something was wrong.

The couple observed secretly, knowing that Zheng Tong would disappear every once in a while, and when he came back, he would always bring back some food and drink.

Although Zheng Tong was very careful, there were some clues.

The Wu family guessed privately that Zheng Tong must know someone in the production team, either a friend, or he was caught by him, so he gave him precious food.

The Wu family couple couldn't protect themselves, and they didn't want to be troublesome, so they tacitly pretended not to know.

Unexpectedly, on this day, Zheng Tong actually invited them to eat with croquettes, as well as the fried lotus root, fried eggplant, and even a few small twists for dessert.

What they didn't see in the past has become a sugar-coated cannonball, and the Wu family couple couldn't hold back.

Looking at their daughter who was eating deliciously, the Wu family couple gritted their teeth, even if they were dragged into the water, it was worth it.

Not to mention the bumper harvest of the production team in Dahe Village, the pigs are also raised well. On New Year's Eve, every household eats meat, and welcomes the New Year with excitement. I can't help but feel grateful for Gu Mingdong, who raises pigs.

Even those who made up their minds to vote for Lao Liu felt that it didn't matter who the captain was, but the pig raiser had to be Gu Mingdong, and no one else raised pigs so fat.

In such a joyous atmosphere, only Widow Liu's family is an exception.

There are few people working in their family, and the meat and food they were given at the end of the year were not much, but Bai Xiaohua happened a few years ago.

Although Liu Dazhu was so stingy and ruthless that he didn't even sell his wife's coffin, he completely offended the shriveled old Liu who paid for it in the end.

Like Uncle Gu, old Liu would send some food and drink to his nephew's house every year, so as not to make their family's New Year's Eve dinner too shabby, and sometimes even invite them to eat directly.

But the old Liu didn't mention it for a few years, and closed the door directly when it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner, which made Liu Dazhu shut the door.

In the words of old Liu, "My nephew, you have already married and established a business. I am an uncle who has been separated for a generation. There is no need to have a New Year's Eve dinner together."

What can Liu Dazhu do? He has always been a bully and fears nothing. If Gu Mingdong looked coldly and made a move, he didn't dare to continue making trouble, let alone the emaciated old Liu with status.

When the family returned home in despair, Widow Liu sighed and brought out the rice. After all, they prepared a New Year's Eve dinner.

It's just that there is only one bowl of meat, and there are only a few yuan in total. Liu Dazhu didn't mean to share it with his mother and younger siblings at all, and poured it all into his own bowl.

After eating, I still feel disgusted: "Just a few pieces are not enough to feed chickens."

Liu Aihua and Liu Xiaozhu looked at their mother, what could Widow Liu do, if she had a way with her eldest son, her life would not be like this.

Especially after Bai Xiaohua's death, Liu Dazhu seemed to have taken gunpowder all day long, his temper was even worse than before, and he would get angry at every turn, even Widow Liu didn't dare to speak of him.

Widow Liu could only comfort the two little ones, and helped them pick up vegetables: "Eat the vegetables, the smell of meat is also delicious."

Liu Aihua and Liu Xiaozhu finished the meal almost with tears in their eyes.

The meal was very unpleasant, only Liu Dazhu had enough to eat and drink, and went into the house to lie down as soon as he threw away the bowls and chopsticks.

If it's just like this, it's just an ordinary year.

But this night, Wang Mazi felt very uncomfortable being alone, so he thought about his own son, pondered for a while, and brought a bowl of meat to find him while it was dark.

Widow Liu was startled when she opened the door when she heard the noise: "Why are you here, don't be seen."

"For Chinese New Year, no one will see when everyone is at home." Wang Mazi said as he tried to squeeze through the door.

Widow Liu hurriedly stopped her: "Da Zhu is at home, let's go out and talk if you have something to say."

As soon as Wang Mazi heard Liu Dazhu's name, he spit out, hating secretly in his heart, this stinking boy was a thug when he was young, and he always only took his food and drink, and he still hated him from the bottom of his heart.

For so many years, Wang Mazi endured it for the sake of his own son. He slept with other people's mothers around him, and even gave birth to a baby secretly.

But as Liu Dazhu grew up, it became more and more difficult to see him appearing, and his things were like feeding the dogs.

Especially after Wang Mazi came back from the transformation, Liu Dazhu's nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes.

Wang Mazi was getting old, so he was no match for the young and strong Liu Dazhu, and he was worried about Liu Xiaozhu, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow his blood.

At this moment, he also hated his teeth, but thinking about the New Year's Eve, he didn't insist: "Forget it, then I won't go in, you take this meat to Xiao Zhu to eat, don't let my son starve."

Widow Liu's face darkened, and she forced a smile again: "Understood, you can still starve your son during the New Year's Eve dinner."

Wang Mazi chuckled, turned around and left.

Widow Liu looked at his back, and lamented in her heart that Wang Mazi was not good enough to beat his wife, but she really had nothing to say to Liu Xiaozhu.

She hesitated for a moment, but she didn't tell Liu Dazhu. She took the bowl of meat into the room of her youngest daughter and son, and secretly woke them up.

"Meat!" The two children exclaimed in surprise.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Widow Liu whispered, "Eat, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, eat some meat to grow up."

The two children didn't use chopsticks, so they started to gobble it up with their hands. Widow Liu had to persuade them to eat slowly, which was very sad.

Liu Aihua thought for a while, then raised her head and said, "Mom, you can eat too."

"Mom is not hungry, you can eat." Widow Liu was also greedy, but she didn't take a bite for the sake of the child.

The two children were at full speed, and they were reluctant to eat the last piece of meat. They wanted to taste the taste of meat, and they almost forgot what meat tasted like.

Who knew that at this moment, Liu Dazhu rushed in suddenly.

After seeing clearly what they were doing, Liu Dazhu roared angrily, "Okay, you guys are actually eating meat behind my back."

Widow Liu was shocked, and quickly explained: "No, Da Zhu, someone gave this to Xiao Zhu."

She was implying to her son that this meat was sent by Wang Mazi.

Liu Dazhu's face turned red, his eyes were bloodshot, since Bai Xiaohua's death, not only did his life not become comfortable, but he had nightmares every night, and his temper became worse and worse.

Now seeing the scene of the mother and son eating meat behind their backs, a tendon in Liu Dazhu's brain was broken, and the black mist became more entangled, and he lost all his sanity.

The anger of being betrayed defeated all of Liu Dazhu's rationality, he roared angrily, and rushed towards his mother and younger siblings.

The author has something to say: Sister Aihua and brother Xiaozhu flashed by
