Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

The shriveled old Liu was taken aback by what Liu Aihua said, but he didn't take her as a child seriously: "Aihua, uncle knows that you love your mother, but you heard it too, and your mother forgave you Brother, don't meddle in it."

Liu Dazhu cursed at the back and said: "Shut up, girl, come back to me, it's not your turn to speak in this family."

Widow Liu knew that her daughter cared about her, and couldn't bear to see her like this, but she could only persuade her: "Aihua, your brother also ate lard today, so forget it, come back soon."

Liu Aihua looked at her angry elder brother, her submissive mother, and her younger brother who shrank and dared not speak, the thought boiled in her heart and became more and more out of control.

The shriveled old Liu also persuaded her: "Aihua, if your elder brother dares to do something again in the future, you can come to uncle, and uncle will help you decide."

"Look, your uncle has already said that, so stop making trouble, why are you so stubborn." Widow Liu said with a sigh.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Liu Aihua shouted: "Uncle, I want to separate."

The word "separation" shocked everyone's jaws.

Widow Liu came to her senses and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about, child, can you talk nonsense about family separation?"

She suddenly remembered that Liu Aihua had also talked about the separation of the family before, but at that time Widow Liu thought she was childish and didn't think things through enough, who knew that she would bring it up in front of everyone now.

The shriveled old Liu asked strangely: "Separate family, what family do you divide?"

As far as their family is concerned, Widow Liu is getting old, and the only young and strong one is Liu Dazhu. The remaining son and daughter are both underage, and it is impossible to separate the family no matter where they are.

Moreover, they went to the Hecun production team, and there was never an example of their daughter wanting to separate.

As soon as she said it, Liu Aihua became more determined. She clenched her fist tightly, as if she could have courage in this way: "Uncle, you have also seen that my mother and I usually work, and the work points we earn are enough to support ourselves. , but when I got home, I couldn’t eat well or dress well, Liu Dazhu is my elder brother, not my father, so why can’t I separate the family and live on my own?”

"Although I am a daughter, now women can hold half the sky. I don't want to be a long-term worker for my elder brother. I have the right to ask for a division of the family."

These words seemed a bit shocking, even Widow Liu was stunned.

"Where... where did you learn these words?" Old Liu asked in surprise.

Liu Dazhu was angry at first, and then he was ashamed, especially when he saw the contemptuous eyes of his two cousins, he immediately cursed angrily: "You fucking fart, uncle, this is probably taught by Gu Mingdong next door, I said why is he so kind?" Come to help, you are all waiting here, I know he has no good intentions, did he instigate you to mention some kind of family separation, to embarrass our old Liu family?"

"It has nothing to do with brother Adong..." Liu Aihua shook her head and said.

"I usually eat my food and drink mine, but now I put down the bowl and scold my mother, I know you are not a good person, since you are more narrow-minded than a sieve, you fucking bastard..." Liu Dazhu yelled out of control.

"That's enough!" the crumpled old Liu scolded angrily, "Dazhu, this is your own sister, she's a bastard, so what are you?"

After scolding his nephew, the old Liu persuaded his niece: "Aihua, you are only 12 years old this year, and you are still a girl. No matter how bad your elder brother is, with him around, no one will bully you."

Liu Aihua gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know if others will bully me, but at home, my elder brother treats me like a long-term worker. Even a landowner's wife in the old society will let the long-term worker eat well."

Hearing this, looking at Liu Aihua's thin and small appearance, and seeing that she is not even taller than ten years old, the thin old Liu felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

The boss of the Liu family said: "The production team, big and small, who didn't come here like this?"

Liu Aihua gritted her teeth, and suddenly pulled up her sleeves: "Uncle, Auntie, look, elder brother usually hits me and Xiaozhu when he is angry. He used to know how to measure it. Since his sister-in-law passed away, he has become more aggressive."

When Bai Xiaohua was still alive, every time she was beaten, Widow Liu would always put her arms around them and scold her daughter-in-law is not a good thing, but now that she is dead, Liu Dazhu's actions have intensified, and Widow Liu only knows to hold them and cry.

The shriveled old daughter-in-law Liu went over to see that Liu Aihua's body was covered in bruises, and Liu Xiaozhu was not much better.

Seeing the little girl's appearance, she rarely felt pity in her heart: "Poor child, your eldest brother is really nothing."

But Liu Dazhu was confident: "I'm exhausted outside, they can't even do small things well, what's wrong with beating a few times, who doesn't beat children in the production team?"

"That can't be beaten to death." And this is not your daughter, but your sister.

Widow Liu looked at her daughter's wound, but only knew how to cover her mouth and cry. Obviously, she also knew that Liu Dazhu would strike at every turn, and had scruples about Liu Xiaozhu, and Liu Aihua was the one who was beaten the most.

Liu Aihua didn't shed tears, but just looked at the shriveled old Liu and said, "Uncle, I can't live a day like this. I'm afraid that one day I will offend my elder brother and he will directly beat me to death."

"At that time, our Shanghe Village production team will find a murderer."

These words made old Liu's heart skip a beat, and he frowned subconsciously.

He thought of Liu Dazhu's crazy energy just now, even his own mother could be ruthless, and he was really worried for a while.

On the other hand, she felt that the little girl Liu Aihua was evil. Could this be something a girl in her early teens could say? Could it be that Gu Mingdong really instigated it?

The shriveled old Liu couldn't make up his mind for a while.

But Widow Liu hurriedly spoke for Liu Dazhu: "Aihua, what are you talking nonsense about? Your elder brother has a bit of a temper, but at least he knows how to behave."

It's just that her own forehead is covered with bloodstains, and her nosebleeds are all over the front of her clothes, which is really not convincing.

The shriveled old Liu sighed, and said in embarrassment: "Aihua, your mother obviously doesn't want to separate the family. You are a child, where can you go after the separation?"

Unexpectedly, these words made Liu Dazhu arrogant, and he yelled as if he had seized the opportunity: "Little bitch, do you want to separate the family? Well, if you separate, you can separate, but the house left by Dad is My, you pack up and get out of here."

The shriveled old Liu frowned and persuaded: "Dazhu, you speak well, how can you sweep your own sister out of the house."

After speaking, she looked at Widow Liu who was crying non-stop: "Sister-in-law, you should also persuade the two children, they are both brothers and sisters of the same blood, so there is no overnight feud."

Widow Liu also got up and put her arms around Liu Aihua, persuading her, "Aihua, what will you eat and where will you live after the separation? Your elder brother said that it will be changed, so forget it this time."

Unexpectedly, Liu Aihua was not persuaded, but instead asked: "Mom, will you come with me?"

Widow Liu cried again: "Where are you going, where are you going? Why are you so big-minded as a child, listen to your mother, you can still live with your life."

Liu Aihua knew that Widow Liu would definitely not leave, so she looked at Liu Xiaozhu again.

Liu Xiaozhu shuddered suddenly, and subconsciously hugged her arm: "I want to go with my sister."

Widow Liu was dumbfounded: "There is no way for you two children to go out, Xiaozhu, don't follow your sister to be stupid."

Liu Dazhu's eyes were cold, and he sneered sinisterly: "All right, all right, if you think Liu's family is not good, get out quickly. The little bitch will get out with the little bastard. Get out of the house and marry a wife and have children for me."

"I fucking want to see what kind of dog you can live."

The shriveled old Liu frowned and persuaded both sides, who knew that neither side would let go.

Liu Aihua is also afraid, Widow Liu will definitely not follow her, and it is impossible to give her the house where the family lives, but she is even more afraid of this elder brother in her heart.

She was afraid that one day she would be sick and beaten, and would be unable to get up in bed, and Liu Dazhu and Widow Liu would sit by the bed and watch her die little by little.

It was the second day that the old Gu's family knew the news of the division next door.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the brothers and sisters of the Gu family all put on new clothes. They looked brand new from big to young, and their good mood was not affected by what happened last night in the slightest.

Gu Simei specially filled the fruit plate to the brim and piled it on the table of the Eight Immortals. There were also a lot of melon seeds and peanuts, as well as the candies that Gu Mingdong bought specially, hard candies wrapped in colored plastic paper, which looked very delicious.

In addition, there is a bucket of biscuits provided by Gu Mingnan, which is the highlight.

As for the lack of fruit, canned sugar water is too expensive and difficult to divide. There are big oranges that Gu Mingdong brought back from the mountain at home, but these are expensive, and Gu Simei will not give them to the children who pay New Year's greetings. When my aunt and third uncle came to visit, I took it out to entertain guests.

The breakfast on the first day of the new year is also very rich. Although there is no filling in the porcelain white meatballs, they are cooked in sugar water. One bite is full of sweetness. Everyone has a poached egg and even fried dough sticks. That's Gu Si. My sister fried it last night and left it on purpose. I fried it a little today and it tastes good.

Even Gu Mingdong was appetizing and couldn't help eating more, and the others ate without looking up.

Early in the morning, after the brothers and sisters of the Gu family had finished eating the sugar balls, they unexpectedly saw someone coming to their door. They were the children of Uncle Gu's family.

Unlike last year when they came here reluctantly until near noon because of Uncle Gu's instructions, today they woke up early on purpose, and the first family came here.

As soon as the children saw Gu Mingdong, they immediately kowtowed and said auspicious words, their faces full of joy.

Gu Mingdong got up, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and peanuts, the candies and biscuits didn't fall, and generously gave the New Year's money. This year, Gu Mingnan and Gu Mingxi also started to go to work. They are adults and elders, and now they are also wrapped in red envelopes .

He kowtowed at the door and accepted three red envelopes, but the children were so happy that they threw out the auspicious words as if they didn't want money, and happily invited the twins and Gu Yun to go to other places with them pay a New Year call.

The twins looked at Gu Mingdong, who touched their little heads with a smile: "Come along, it's so crowded."

Gu Mingnan said last night that he will definitely not go to New Year's greetings this year. Without him, Gu Mingdong is afraid that the twins will not be able to recognize them, so a few cousins ​​will take them with them.

"Dad, let's go to pay New Year's greetings and come back to bring you delicious food." The two children said.

The children came and went, and the twins and Gu Yun followed the crowd with the small cloth bag specially made by Gu Simei on their backs.

Gu Mingnan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Even the children know that our family is having a good life, so they probably will be the first ones to come to our house to pay New Year's greetings."

Gu Sanmei smiled and said, "You think too much, it's because they were thinking about the delicious biscuits given by elder brother last year during Chinese New Year."

Who can have their big brother generous, who grabs melon seeds and peanuts by the handful, and there are sugar and biscuits to eat. If she has children, she will come over to pay New Year's greetings in a hurry.

Gu Mingdong pinched a peanut to beat his teeth, and joked: "You three really won't go this year?"

Gu Mingnan immediately said: "I'm already working, so I don't have the nerve to follow along."

In fact, according to the rules of Shanghe Village, if you are not married, you are still considered a child. Even after starting to work as a worker, Gu Mingnan also looked down on those three melons and two dates, and was too lazy to bother.

With the salary, Gu Mingnan is much more generous. Now he just spends time in the canteen of the transportation team, and doesn't bother to spend the New Year's sunflower seeds.

Gu Mingxi was not willing to go either, she was already a big girl, but she persuaded her younger sister: "Xiaobei, you are still young, do you want to go with them?"

Gu Mingbei shook his head hastily: "Forget it, no aunt and nephew will go to visit the New Year together."

"Okay, our family doesn't lack those things. If you don't go, don't go. It's good to sit down and eat melon seeds and talk." Gu Mingdong said.

So the brothers and sisters sat in a row at the door, eating fruits and fruits. When someone came to the door, they were responsible for distributing sugar and catching melon seeds. Groups of children came and hushed, and they all avoided the next door.

The news that Bai Xiaohua gave birth to a deformed child before spread throughout the village. Everyone in the production team thought that the old Liu's family sounded evil and had a bad life, especially after the funeral.

The children were told before going out, and they were unwilling to go. Widow Liu was too stingy every year, and the melon seeds and peanuts were moldy.

This year is also strange, the Liu family has not opened the door for a while, and the house is quiet, as if they don't care if there are children coming to visit for New Year's greetings.

Gu Mingdong's mouth became parched from eating melon seeds, and he felt better after drinking saliva, but he mentioned another thing: "Last year, the school was too noisy, and the higher-ups issued an order, and it is estimated that school will have to start again this year."

"Really?" Gu Sanmei asked in surprise.

Gu Mingdong nodded: "I guess there will be an announcement soon, do you want to go back to school?"

The school has been closed for almost a year, and it is too much to think about it, and the school has to be ordered to resume classes to relieve the pressure.

Gu Mingnan immediately replied: "No, I'm doing well in the transportation team, and I'll go back to work when my arm is healed."

He doesn't want to go to school and sit around, anyway, he never thought about going to college.

Gu Sanmei was a little hesitant, but she quickly made a decision: "I also want to continue working."

She explained: "The work at the garbage station is not tiring. I can read books by myself while going to work. If I earn money, I will not delay my studies. Even if the school resumes classes, I will go back and forth to study, which is meaningless." .”

The reason why I didn't say it is that many teachers have been transferred to the lower levels. Gu Sanmei heard that the current teachers are all junior high school graduates, but they have a clean background. She feels that she can't teach herself at all.

Gu Sanmei could understand that before they graduated, most of the teaching in junior high school was taken up by **, if it wasn't for the eldest brother who said that he wanted to get a diploma, she would have dropped out of school.

Gu Mingdong nodded, agreeing with her plan: "That's fine, but Xiaobei still has to go, and he can still teach the lower grades, so he can't stay at home all the time."

Just as Gu Mingbei was about to object, he heard Gu Mingdong say: "Ah Xing, Achen, and Xiaoyun are not young anymore, and I will look for a relationship to see if I can let them go to school earlier, so that the fourth sister can take care of her when she goes to school."

When Gu Mingbei heard this, he really didn't object.

On the contrary, Gu Mingnan laughed and joked: "Brother, those of us who go to work go to work, and those of us who go to school go to school, wouldn't you be a loner at home?"

Gu Sanmei threw melon seed shells at him: "Can you talk?"

Gu Mingdong smiled and said, "That's just right, your elder brother, I like cleanliness."

Gu Simei said caringly: "At that time, I will help my elder brother prepare three meals a day. I will cook more in the morning, and I can eat it when it is warmed up at noon, and I can rush home to cook in the evening."

Gu Sanmei smiled and said: "The garbage station is very free. I can go home and cook at night, and I will never let my brother go hungry."

Gu Mingdong spread his hands and said: "It's okay if you don't come back, I can cook by myself, I won't be hungry."

Second brother Gu sat down beside him, and asked with a smile: "Brother, you really don't want to find us a sister-in-law anymore. If you have a sister-in-law to take care of you, we will feel more at ease."

After saying this, the brothers and sisters all looked at Gu Mingdong.

Gu Mingdong didn't answer, and gave him a chestnut directly: "Speak up, I'm not urging you to get married, but you are urging me."

Second Brother Gu didn't care, he said with a smile, "Then I'm not much younger than you, I'm not in a hurry."

Gu Mingdong pointedly said: "Then you have to hurry up, lest if you really miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Gu Erdi didn't know if he could smell something, so he touched his nose and stopped talking.

When the twins and Gu Yun came back, the brothers and sisters of the Gu family, who hadn't gone out all morning, found out that there was another riot next door last night, and finally the family separated.

As soon as the three children came back, Gu Liangchen ran to Gu Mingdong first, raised his hand and stuffed a piece of milk candy into his mouth. The milk flavor was very strong. Once he ate it, he knew it was a big white rabbit. He probably got it from the old Liu's family for New Year greetings.

Gu Mingdong couldn't help laughing, then turned around and stuffed one for his son.

However, Gu Liangxing was dancing and gesticulating: "Liu Dazhu is too much. He refused to give food and clothes, so Liu Aihua was told to get out directly. It was the captain who couldn't see it and gave her a bag of food."

The brothers and sisters of the Gu family were also surprised when they heard this: "Liu Aihua and Liu Dazhu separated?"

Gu Liangxing nodded desperately: "She took Liu Xiaozhu with her. Their mother won't leave, they'll go with Liu Dazhu."

"This... this is too..." Second Brother Gu couldn't express it in words for a moment.

The two children who haven't grown up are separated from the eldest brother, and their mother actually lives with the eldest brother, which is strange no matter how you think about it.

"Didn't Aunt Liu get beaten up last night? Her face was covered in blood. Why did she drive the two younger ones out in the end? She lived with the older son herself. What did she think?"

Gu Mingdong recalled the look in Liu Aihua's eyes last night, and knew that Widow Liu's beating was just the trigger: "Then where do they live?"

Gu Liangxing asked clearly: "Liu Dazhu said there was no place for them to live, so Liu Aihua took Liu Xiaozhu to the cowshed and lived in the empty house over there."

There were several vacant houses near the cowshed, but the best one had been cleared up for the four people to live in, and the rest of the houses were dilapidated, not even good for stacking firewood.

"It's so cold, how can people live there?" Gu Simei frowned worriedly.

In fact, when their sister-in-law was still there, Widow Liu and Li Lijuan had a good relationship, they walked about normally from time to time, Gu Simei and Liu Aihua were about the same age, and occasionally went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables together, and went to the river to wash clothes and so on.

It's just that after Li Lijuan's death, Widow Liu came less often, and she didn't let Liu Aihua come over to play.

Afterwards, the relationship between the first two families became worse and worse. Liu Aihua was busy working in the field every day, going home to work, serving her brother and sister-in-law, and had no time to deal with Gu Simei. The relationship between the two gradually faded.

Now that I heard about this, Gu Simei is still worried about her: "I don't know how they are doing over there?"

Gu Mingdong said, "If you're worried, go and have a look."

Gu Simei was stunned: "Brother, don't you object?"

She knew in her heart that her elder brother hated the pair of mother and son next door.

Gu Mingdong said, "Liu Dazhu is not a good guy, but Liu Aihua and Liu Xiaozhu didn't offend me."

Gu Simei smiled embarrassedly: "Then I'll go and have a look later."

Gu Mingdong also said: "Don't go there empty-handed, it doesn't mean that you have been purged and left the house. The two children probably lack everything. If you find something you don't need and send it over, it will be considered a good deed."

Gu Simei couldn't help showing a smile: "Okay, I will remember."

From the bottom of my heart, I feel that their eldest brother is the most kind-hearted, completely different from the one next door.

Gu Sanmei was afraid that her younger sister would be too soft-tempered, and she would suffer when she met the Liu family, so she simply followed her.

Gu Liangxing likes to join in the fun, so he immediately wants to go with him, and even invites his younger brother to go with Gu Yun.

Gu Yun thought that the place was not far from the thatched cottage, and immediately nodded in agreement, but Gu Liangchen leaned against Gu Mingdong and expressed his refusal: "You guys go, I want to stay at home."

Gu Liangxing ignored him and happily dragged Gu Yun away.

Gu Liangchen moved a small bench and sat down next to Gu Mingdong, and began to peel the melon seeds one by one. He peeled the melon seeds and looked clean, it didn't look like Gu Liangxing just talked about it, making it full of fuss.

The second brother Gu saw it, and was immediately happy: "Ah Xing, give some to the second uncle after peeling."

Gu Liangchen, on the other hand, protected his own melon seeds, finally gathered a pile and pushed them in front of Gu Mingdong, saying in a low voice, "Father, don't let the second uncle take it away."

Gu Mingdong ate happily, enjoying his son's filial piety.

Gu Mingnan watched and wailed: "Sure enough, my nephew is not as good as my son, and I have to give birth to my filial son."

Gu Mingdong touched Gu Liangchen's small head, and said with a smile: "That's not true, you can't be envious."

Gu Mingnan simply cracked melon seeds by himself, anyway, he only needed one hand to crack melon seeds, and it didn't take long if he couldn't move his right hand.

The three of them were eating happily when Gu Mingdong frowned suddenly.

Gu Mingnan looked out of the yard, and when he saw someone coming, his expression was a little ugly.

The author has something to say: complete separation
