Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

When he was called to the town government, Gu Jianguo was calm and composed. After all, he had completed the military order for chemical fertilizer at the beginning of the year, and even completed it more than several times.

Gu Jianguo even thought beamingly that Secretary Wang probably saw his report, so he should be praised.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, Gu Jianguo saw Secretary Wang's ugly face. Gu Jianguo, who thought that Secretary Wang called him over specially to ask about the autumn harvest, was dumbfounded.

"Gu Jianguo, Gu Jianguo, I thought you were a soldier, a person with integrity and a bottom line. It must be more reliable than the previous one to become the captain through democratic elections. Who knew that you had only been in the job for a year, so you gave me a whole lot. Now, let me tell you what to say about you."

Secretary Wang has stubbles of gray hair on his head, and he hasn't had a good time in the past few years. He has worked hard for the construction, and now he looks heartbroken.

Gu Jianguo was dumbfounded by the scolding: "No, Secretary Wang, what did I do?"

He couldn't help thinking about what happened to the production team recently. During this period of time, they were busy harvesting. The late rice hadn't started yet, and the members were so tired that they went home and fell asleep, and there was less noise.

Could it be something like Liu Dazhu?But people have been dead for so long, Secretary Wang can't always be angry.

Moreover, there is Liu Dazhu from the Liu family, and now he keeps a low profile, even the shriveled old Liu doesn't like to show off anymore, Widow Liu is silent all day long, as if she has lost her soul.

Liu Aihua and Liu Xiaozhu have already moved back to live. The mother and son depend on each other for life, but they are both down-to-earth and willing to work. On the contrary, life is slightly better than before.

Gu Jianguo was afraid that their orphans and widows would be bullied, so he had paid attention to them, but seeing that Liu Aihua was young but capable of doing things, he put his hands aside.

Thinking about it now, Gu Jianguo didn't remember what it was that made Secretary Wang so angry.

Seeing that he was still asking questions, Secretary Wang slammed the table and became furious: "What is this? You just want to poke a hole in the sky to be satisfied, don't you?"

Gu Jianguo said aggrievedly: "Secretary Wang, you should make it clear. If you don't tell me, how would I know what's going on?"

Secretary Wang was furious, slapped the table and asked, "Did you write this grain production report?"

His face was full of hatred that iron could not be made into steel. Last year, Shanghe Village had a democratic election, and Secretary Wang was quite happy in his heart. He felt that Gu Jianguo, who was born in the army, must be much better than the crumpled old Liu.

At the beginning of the year, Gu Jianguo patted his chest and issued a military order to apply for fertilizer, and Secretary Wang also approved it under pressure.

Who knew that when the time came, Gu Jianguo would use fake data to deal with him, which would be better than honestly admitting his mistakes.

Gu Jianguo didn't understand it yet, so he leaned over to take a look, nodded readily and said, "I wrote it, what's wrong?"

Secretary Wang turned it over with a cold face, pointed to the production data on it, and said, "See for yourself what is written?"

Gu Jianguo looked down. He read little and his handwriting was so-so, so this report was handed in after he dictated it and got Gu Mingdong to polish it.

Before handing it in, Gu Jianguo read it carefully several times by himself, and felt that Gu Mingdong's writing was very good.

At that time, Gu Jianguo was still feeling emotional, but it was a pity that his elder brother and sister-in-law died too early, otherwise Adong would have to go to high school anyway, and maybe he would be able to work in the city as a worker.

After reading it now, Gu Jianguo became even more puzzled: "What's wrong with this? That's right, it's a typo."

Secretary Wang was so annoyed by his attitude: "Is this a typo? You are falsifying, engaging in the exaggerated hypocrisy of ** a few years ago."

"No, Secretary Wang, I..."

"What are you?" Secretary Wang was still angry, "Gu Jianguo, if I had known that you were such a person, I should not have agreed to you being the team leader."

"See for yourself what has been written. The production team of Shanghe Village will produce 700 catties per mu of early rice this summer. Why don't you just write and release satellites, and the yield will be [-] catties per mu?"

Secretary Wang saw this report last night. After reading the beginning, he was so angry that he was so angry that he didn't have the heart to continue reading the next few pages. He called for Gu Jianguo to teach him a lesson the next day.

Gu Jianguo was in a hurry, feeling very wronged in his heart.

Secretary Wang pointed at him again and said, "The paddy fields around Xiyuan Town usually produce about 300 catties per mu, and they can only grow to [-] catties in a bumper harvest year. You're fine, just double it for me."

As the secretary of the commune, Secretary Wang is very clear about the grain production in Xiyuan Town.

In the most chaotic few years, everyone falsely reported data upwards, and exaggeration once spread across the country. Secretary Wang still refused to lie too much, let alone now.

Hybrid rice has not been popularized these days, and most of the farmers are still using the old rice, which is not resistant to drought and insects, and the yield is not high, so food has always been a big problem.

The more Secretary Wang talked, the more angry he was. What made him most angry was that he had misjudged the person. He thought that Gu Jianguo was a down-to-earth person, but who knew that he didn't care about the life and death of the members.

"Where do you plan to get the extra food? What about the public food? Could it be that the common people tightened their belts and starved to death like in previous years?"

"It's still 700 catties. Do you think you are a scientist of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and you can double your output with just a few clicks of your finger?"

"Thanks to your fact that this report was only sent to me. I decided to suppress it first. You go back and write a new one honestly. You can write as much as the grain production. You must not cheat, otherwise I will kill you first." Captain."

After figuring out what happened, Gu Jianguo stopped panicking.

Because he knew very well in his heart that the data of the production team in Shanghe Village was tenable. When the statistics were first calculated, Gu Jianguo was also very shocked.

But he took a few members to double-check, and finally confirmed that the data was correct, so Gu Jianguo was very confident and did not panic at all.

After Secretary Wang finished his attack, Gu Jianguo explained: "Secretary Wang, calm down first, I can explain this matter."

Secretary Wang snorted coldly: "Okay, explain to me well, if you don't explain the reason clearly today, you don't want to be the team leader."

Gu Jianguo said: "This year, the production team of Shanghe Village has indeed had a bumper harvest. It is true that the yield per mu is 700 catties."

Before he could finish speaking, Secretary Wang was so angry that he cursed: "Fuck your shit, you don't know how to repent, do you?"

"Secretary Wang, you continue to read this report. Later on, it is written about why the grain output of our production team can increase." Gu Jianguo explained.

But Secretary Wang put down the report and said with a sneer, "I don't look at these empty-headed things. What's written on paper can't be taken seriously."

Gu Jianguo hurriedly said: "Written reports can be falsified, but it is impossible to falsify food. If Secretary Wang doesn't believe it, you can go to the countryside with me to have a look. What you hear is what you see is what you see."

Secretary Wang's face changed slightly, he frowned suspiciously and said, "You won't be like those bastards, get a satellite field to fool me."

This is about the years of **, when village cadres in some places deliberately transplanted mature wheat and rice into a field for the sake of achievement, creating the illusion of a bumper harvest.

Secretary Wang was not a secretary at that time, but he was well aware of this matter.

Gu Jianguo said: "One or two fields can be faked, but the rice in our production team has been harvested, and it will be dried. The grain production is there. How can I get so much grain to fake it?" .”

"Secretary, think about it. This is not just a catty or two catties of grain. It adds up to tens of thousands of catties. Where do I get it? Even if I have money, I can't buy it."

Secretary Wang thought about it too. If Gu Jianguo really had the ability to get so much food, why would he still be a captain here?

Furthermore, even if such a large amount of food was transported by car, it would take a lot of cars, and it was impossible to do so quietly.

It's just that the yield per mu is 700 catties, but Secretary Wang still thinks it's impossible.

Looking at Gu Jianguo, who looked serious and looked into his eyes without any guilt, Secretary Wang clapped the table and said, "Okay, today I will take someone to weigh it properly to see the weight of your production team."

After finishing speaking, he didn't give Gu Jianguo a chance to prepare, and directly called the few clerks who were still there to testify.

He wanted to catch Hecun by surprise and not give them any time to cheat.

A group of people rode bicycles aggressively towards Shanghe Village. Gu Jianguo didn't have a bicycle, so he asked Secretary Ma to carry him away.

On the way, Secretary Ma lowered his voice and asked: "Captain Gu, is your production team really producing so much? Uncle, Gu Mingdong and I still have some friendship. If there is anything, just tell me, and I can help out." .”

Gu Jianguo insisted: "It's absolutely true, I, Gu Jianguo, never lie."

Secretary Ma didn't really believe it in his heart, but he still said, "It's really the best. Secretary Wang got angry because of this matter."

The old Gu's family didn't know that Secretary Wang and his group were on their way.

It was an extremely hot day, and one night earlier, Gu Mingdong brought back several large watermelons from the mountain depression, each weighing more than ten catties, and they fetched well water early to soak them.

By the next day, the watermelon in the water tank will be completely cool, and you can grab it and cut it open to eat.

With a bang, as soon as the kitchen knife was pressed on the watermelon, the ripe watermelon split open by itself.

The sweet taste of watermelon immediately spread. Because it is well water, it is still a bit cold to eat, but not too cold. It is okay for the three children to eat too much.

The bright red flesh is inlaid with black watermelon seeds, and the sweet juice melts in the mouth after one bite. It is sweet and refreshing. After eating a piece, you feel refreshed and even the heat dissipates.

Gu Mingdong also felt that the sandy land in the mountain stream was especially suitable for eating watermelons. The watermelons that came out of the watermelon were sweet and rusty, and they would not get tired of eating.

The twins imitated the example, sitting in a row like Gu Mingdong, holding the watermelon in both hands, lowering their heads and making a clicking sound, like two little animals that only eat bitter things.

In comparison, Gu Yun eats a lot more delicately, at least not like Gu Liangxing, who eats a piece of watermelon, and the collar of the clothes is also full of watermelon juice.

After eating the pulp, they all spit watermelon seeds into a bamboo plaque.

Gu Liangxing smiled and asked: "Dad, let's put the watermelon seeds in, will we be able to eat watermelon all the time?"

Gu Mingdong smiled and said: "It's too late in the middle of the night, and it will be winter when the watermelons bloom and bear fruit."

"Oh, what a pity." Gu Liangxing sighed like an adult.

The delicacy of watermelon conquered everyone in the family, especially the big and sweet watermelon from the mountain stream, which makes people never get tired of eating it.

Gu Mingdong said: "Save up some watermelon seeds, and let your fourth aunt stir fry them to eat. They are also delicious."

Hearing that watermelon seeds can be eaten, Gu Liangxing quickly got up and picked up the watermelon seeds that he had accidentally spit out.

Gu Mingbei saw it, and said with a smile: "Don't throw away the watermelon rind, you can still cook something by cutting everything at night."

Gu Mingdong looked at the thin watermelon rind in his hand, then at the watermelon rind that did not leave any red stars after the twins ate it, shook his head and smiled and said: "Let's keep these for pigs, there is one in the water tank, wait until evening First cut the melon rind and stir-fry, and the remaining pulp is just for the second and third to eat together."

"That's good." Gu Mingbei smiled, "It's cheaper for those pigs."

Gu Liangchen raised his head and said, "Si Gu, pigs eat watermelon rinds, we eat pork, and we still make money in the end."

The pigs that Gu Mingdong raised can eat and drink, and they are fatter than last year. Every time the twins help feed the pigs, they will stop by to see which piece of meat is the fattest and tastiest.

Thinking of the aroma of braised pork, the two brothers couldn't help but licked the corners of their mouths.

A watermelon, cut into ten pieces, two pieces for one person is just right.

Gu Liangxing ate his share, patted his stomach and said, "Second uncle and third aunt are too pitiful, they have to go to work in such heat, it's better for us, we can stay at home and eat watermelon during the holidays."

Gu Simei teased him: "Then you eat one piece less, and save it for your second uncle and third aunt."

Gu Liangxing immediately said: "There are night melons at night, the weather is too hot, and the watermelon can't be eaten if it turns sour after a long time."

Gu Yun didn't know what to think of, and the movement of eating watermelon became faster and faster.

Gu Simei didn't understand her thoughts, and comforted her: "Xiaoyun eat slowly, don't listen to Ah Xing's nonsense, the watermelon won't go bad after a while."

However, Gu Mingdong knew what the little girl was thinking, and said with a smile: "There are more on the other side of the mountain stream, if you want to eat, just open up and eat."

"Dad, won't anyone find out?" Gu Liangxing asked.

As he spoke, his eyes rolled around, as if he was thinking about what to do if he was discovered: "Why don't we pick them all up earlier, and we'll be safe if we eat them in our stomachs."

Gu Mingdong shook his head and said, "No, it's okay if you find it, it's wild anyway."

Gu Liangxing was immediately disappointed.

Since the beginning of this year, the policy seems to be a little looser. Although they still do not allow the planting of cash crops here, it is not like before, when they see a fruit tree in your house, they have to come in and pull it out.

"A few days ago, I saw Uncle Li come back with a watermelon in the mountains." Gu Liangchen suddenly raised his head and said.

"But it's not as big as my family's, and it's definitely not as sweet."

Gu Yun also gestured: [I saw it too. 】

Gu Mingdong smiled and patted her head. In fact, the members of the commune more or less secretly caught these things.

As long as it is not excessive and is not discovered, then nothing will happen. Even Gu Jianguo turned a blind eye.

The old Gu's family were having a good time, when suddenly Li Tiezhu, who was named by Gu Liangchen, ran over.

"A Dong, come out quickly, something happened."

Gu Mingdong greeted him quickly: "What's wrong?"

Li Tiezhu wiped off his sweat: "A group of people from the town came back with the captain, saying that they suspected that the captain was cheating and wanted to weigh the food in front of everyone."

"Let's go and have a look." Gu Mingdong was not in a hurry when he heard about it. After all, he wrote the report, and the data on it was not falsified, and he was even modest.

Li Tiezhu followed him and smelled the smell of watermelon on the way. He lowered his voice and asked with a smile, "Where did your family pick up the watermelon?"

"It's wild in the mountains." Gu Mingdong laughed.

Li Tiezhu smiled and said: "We rely on the mountains to eat the mountains. There are a lot of wild watermelons in our mountains. My family picked up one of them yesterday."

The two looked at each other, showing a tacit smile.

When Gu Mingdong arrived at the grain drying field, many members of the commune came out under the sun to watch the fun.

As soon as Secretary Wang arrived at Shanghe Village and opened the warehouse, he knew that he had probably wronged someone.

The warehouses in Shanghe Village had never been full before, but now they are full, not to mention that there are still some piled up on the grain drying field outside, covered with oilcloth.

Seeing Gu Jianguo's unhurried and calm posture again, Secretary Wang was both surprised and happy.

Gu Jianguo is also a person with a temper. He opened the door of the warehouse and said, "Secretary Wang, I walk upright and stand upright. I have never done anything wrong in my life. You can see for yourself."

Secretary Wang reached out and grabbed a handful of rice. He lowered his head and smelled it. The grains were full of fragrance, and the white rice grains inside were revealed when he twisted it lightly. I don’t know if it was an illusion. All bright, especially full.

But he didn't rush to make a decision, and dragged people to weigh the food bit by bit. He was so busy from morning to afternoon that he finished weighing the food completely.

In the final calculation, the data reported by Gu Jianguo was conservative, and the yield per mu definitely exceeded 700 catties.

"This is impossible..." A clerk who followed subconsciously shouted.

Gu Jianguo was not happy: "Why is it impossible?"

Gu Mingdong stood at the door and shouted loudly: "Secretary Wang, this is a miracle created by the working people."

"At the beginning of this year, our production team made a specific plan for one year's grain production. Adjustments were made on the basis of previous years. The first round of early rice was brought forward. They are all careful and careful, and there is absolutely no slack in the slightest."

"For seven months, the members of the production team of Shanghe Village got up early in the dark and used their hard work to create today's results."

A few simple words were deafening, causing the members who were just watching the excitement to applaud and shout.

Li Tiezhu's eyes were even redder, and he wiped the corners of his eyes and said: "Ah Dong is right, in the past half a year, we in Shanghe Village have done more than the surrounding production teams, and we have worked hard, so God gave us a bumper harvest. "

The rest of the members also said: "We get up at five o'clock every day to work."

In fact, it is not too early to go to the countryside to work.

"There is not a single weed in the rice field, and it was pulled out as soon as it emerged." This is what Gu Jianguo stared at and did. At that time, there were many complaints about things.

"In the middle of the night, we still use flashlights to catch pests in the fields, for fear that they will harm the crops."

Gu Mingdong glanced at the speaker, yes, he was going to catch eels.

The chattering words fell into the ears of Secretary Wang, but they became moving words. He couldn't help shouting: "This is a miracle created by the working people. It is your hard work and sweat that brought about today's harvest. Mr. Gu Captain, I misunderstood you."

Gu Jianguo held his hand: "Thanks to the chemical fertilizer approved by the town, if there is no chemical fertilizer, this effect will definitely not be achieved."

But Secretary Wang said: "Chemical fertilizers are useful, but sweat is more useful. There are still few production teams applying for chemical fertilizers, but the yield per mu is not something everyone can achieve."

"The comrades in Shanghe Village are all good comrades. It is you who are not afraid of hardships or tiredness, and have made great contributions to the country's construction."

For a moment, the tense atmosphere dissipated, replaced by memories of bitterness and sweetness. Secretary Wang held Gu Jianguo's hand, saying that he had to stand against the sun to observe the black land that had created miracles.

Gu Mingdong smiled slightly. The chemical fertilizers and the intermediate planting steps provided by Wu Wei are very important, but the most important thing is the optimization of the grain.

From the very beginning, this batch of food optimized by the ability was destined to create miracles.

Secretary Wang came aggressively, left happily, and even pulled Gu Jianguo to promise that when they finished paying the public grain, and after he collected the grain output of the surrounding production teams, he would definitely give the Shanghe village production team a commendation.

This made Gu Jianguo very happy. Before because of Liu Dazhu's incident, he thought that Shanghe Village would not be able to get ahead.

Secretary Wang kept his word, and within a few days, when Gu Jianguo went to the town for a meeting, he was dragged onto the stage by him, and praised him in front of all the captains around him.

When Gu Jianguo came back that day, he brought the enamel plate and red certificate that the town rewarded the production team with.

Gu Jianguo held a production mobilization meeting for this, and held up a red certificate in front of all members: "Today, this honor does not belong to Gu Jianguo alone, it belongs to all comrades in Shanghe Village."

"You are all good comrades of the people, good sons and daughters of the party and the country. You are active in labor, diligent in doing things, and bravely rush forward when encountering difficulties. This year, Shanghe Village will have a bumper harvest, and everyone in the production team can have a full stomach."

"From now on, we must closely follow the footsteps of the party and the country, and lead all members of the commune to work together to create an advanced production team. No one can hold back."

What I said made the usually pungent women in the production team start to wipe their tears and said, "I'm so old, and when I'm about to be praised by my superiors as a good son of the country, this life is worth it."

In order to motivate the members, Gu Jianguo endured his heartache and posted a large certificate in the common warehouse of the production team. For a while, the labor enthusiasm of the members in Shanghe Village soared, and even Xia Zhong also scored points. Clean outside.

Gu Jianguo was originally worried that Shanghe Village would change from one middle school a year to two middle schools a year, and the members of the commune would have opinions.

Unexpectedly, after Secretary Wang's passing, he completely dispelled the opinions of the members, and the mid-summer went even more smoothly than he expected.

Gu Mingdong is still doing the work of optimizing the food, once he is raw and twice cooked, this time he can control the ability with precision, just right.

Just when Gu Mingdong thought the big oolong was over, Shanghe Village ushered in a group of serious-looking people.
