Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

When Gu Mingnan remembered the purse again, he had already brought Gu Sanmei back to the door of the house.

It was Gu Sanmei who sensed something was wrong and asked, "Second brother, your pocket is bulging, what are you hiding?"

Gu Mingnan patted his pocket and remembered: "Xiao Ru stuffed my purse, saying it was a gift to thank me."

Upon hearing Qian Xiaoru's name, Gu Sanmei immediately became excited: "Sister Xiaoru gave it to you? Quickly open it and see what it is."

Gu Mingnan took out his purse and said, "What are you so excited about? Even if she brings something delicious, she won't give it to you."

Gu Sanmei rolled her eyes: "Second brother, are you stupid? I can figure this out."

"Don't keep grabbing me if you don't want to." Gu Mingnan opened his purse while muttering.

The palm-sized purse looks like Qian Xiaoru sewed it herself. This kind of purse is only made by young girls. Usually put a keychain, stuff a few dollars and tickets, and it will be full.

As Gu Mingnan opened it, he felt in his heart that Qian Xiaoru was quite particular, and it would be enough to wrap it in oiled paper for small snacks or something.

After seeing the contents clearly, Gu Mingnan was stunned.

Gu Sanmei couldn't wait to lean over to look at it: "What did she give?"

"A comb." Gu Mingnan took out the wooden comb. It was a very common mahogany comb, the size of a palm, and the original color of the log. It looked new and unused.

Gu Mingnan was at a loss: "What did she give me a comb for? I'm a man, so I don't need to comb my hair."

He subconsciously pulled his hair. For convenience, Gu Mingdong's hair was shaved very short. His younger brother and son followed suit, so all the men in the old Gu family had short hair.

Of course, no man has very long hair these days, and they all have the same hairstyle.

However, Gu Mingnan's hair is the shortest. He just shaved his short hair a while ago, and he usually wipes it clean with a towel, and he doesn't even need to wash his hair.

Gu Sanmei's eyes moved, but she understood Qian Xiaoru's euphemistic meaning, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and start laughing.

Seeing her sniggering, Gu Mingnan simply handed her the comb: "I don't need it either, I'll give it to you."

Gu Sanmei didn't dare to answer, she felt wronged for Qian Xiaoru from the bottom of her heart, she glared at her brother and said, "You're so stupid, think about whether your brain was kicked by a donkey when you were young, or why are you so stupid."

After speaking, he turned and walked in the door.

Gu Mingnan was scolded inexplicably, and he was still very wronged in his heart: "Gu Laosan, I sent you off with good intentions and you still scolded me, you deserve to be unable to get married."

He looked at the wooden comb, and there was indeed nothing special about it. It was the most common wooden comb, and what he had to say was that there was a peach blossom carved on it, which was very feminine.

Why did Qian Xiaoru give him a wooden comb in order to express her gratitude?

Gu Mingnan couldn't figure it out. He felt that giving two eggs was better than a comb, but gifts from others should not be thrown away casually. Gu Mingnan felt that he understood this truth.

The third sister didn't want it, so he planned to give it to the fourth sister.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the room, Gu Mingnan saw Gu Sanmei pulling his fourth sister to talk, the two of them muttered together, and looked up at him from time to time after speaking.

Gu Mingnan keenly noticed that the two younger sisters were looking at him with strange eyes, as if they were looking at a fool.

"Fourth sister, do you want a wooden comb?"

Gu Simei hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, second brother, you are going too far."

After speaking, he pulled Gu Sanmei and ran away.

Gu Mingnan was even more aggrieved, holding the comb and unable to send it out, he complained to Gu Mingdong: "Brother, take care of them, you know how to run on brother all day long."

"I used to be the third child, but now Xiaobei has followed suit. I gave her a comb with good intentions, but she actually said I was going too far."

Gu Mingnan, who was looking for help, was doomed to be disappointed. Gu Mingdong looked at him inexplicably, and stood firmly on the side of the two younger sisters: "It's really too much."

"Where did I go too far?" Gu Mingnan was anxious.

Gu Mingdong beckoned and asked him to come and sit beside him: "Let me ask you, who gave you the comb?"

"Qian Xiaoru." Gu Mingnan said.

"I did her a little favor the other day, and she gave it to me as a thank you."

"It's not that I dislike the gift she gave, but my hair is so short that I don't need a wooden comb at all. Wouldn't it be a waste to leave it alone? Wouldn't it be nice for me to give it to my third and fourth sisters?"

Gu Mingdong patted his forehead: "You won't use your brain to think about it, why did Qian Xiaoru give you a comb, why didn't she give you something else?"

Gu Mingnan pondered for a long while, and then he let out an ah.

Gu Mingdong thought he was enlightened, but the next moment, the silly brother asked, "Did she want to remind me that I'm bald?"

After speaking, he ran into the sisters' room to look for a mirror.

"Second, what are you doing, don't come into our house casually." Gu Sanmei was not happy.

"I'll just borrow the mirror and use it." Second Brother Gu pulled out a palm-sized mirror and looked left and right at his head.

Gu Sanmei was amused by him: "What's the matter, are you really going to see if your head has been kicked by a donkey?"

Gu Erdi looked at it carefully and confirmed that although his hair was short, it was black and thick, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not bald."

No wonder he was worried, it was because there were too many bald men in the transport team, and Master Qian was so bald that Gu Mingnan looked at their bald heads from time to time and began to worry about himself.

Gu Sanmei rolled her eyes and didn't want to talk to him at all.

Second Brother Gu made sure he wasn't bald, went outside, frowned and asked, "Brother, I'm not bald either, why do you think she gave me this?"

Gu Mingdong sighed a long time: "Second brother, people should read more books."

Second brother Gu scratched his chin, but still didn't understand.

"Could it be that this comb has some meaning?"

"Wooden comb, comb, numbers? No, comb hair, smooth hair?"

Gu Mingnan slapped his head: "She gave me this comb in the hope that I would get rich smoothly, that's great, this gift is in my heart."

He didn't dislike the wooden comb anymore, and planned to hide the good omen for himself.

Gu Mingdong supported his forehead, and secretly thought about whether there was any problem in his education process. Gu Erer's head is probably a train, and he only walks on straight tracks and does not make curves.

In the end, the twins who were still doing their homework couldn't stand it anymore.

Gu Liangxing raised his head and shouted: "Second Uncle, you think too much. A comb means growing old forever. You don't even know that."

"What... what?" Gu Mingnan was shocked.

Gu Liangxing continued: "Auntie Xiaoru likes you, we all know it, but you don't know."

Gu Yun nodded desperately beside her.

Gu Liangchen also said slowly: "Second Uncle, it's been more than a year, we've all seen it, why don't you understand yet?"

"One, one year?"

Gu Mingnan grabbed his short hair and pinched the wooden comb, and when he thought about it carefully, it suddenly became clear.

He said how Qian Xiaoru always blushed in front of him. At first he thought Qian Xiaoru was timid and shy, but he didn't expect the reason to be here.

In an instant, Qian Xiaoru's careful care, shy eyes, and eyes of adoration and admiration for him all squeezed into Gu Mingnan's brain.

He groaned and crouched on the ground.

Gu Sanmei poked her head out and asked, "What's wrong with the second child?"

Gu Liangxing spread his hands: "Second Uncle finally understood, and then he was very happy."

Gu Simei asked worriedly, "Second Brother, is he happy or unhappy?"

"I think it's suspicious of life." Gu Sanmei commented.

"Then he's okay, he looks stupid."

Gu Mingdong stood up and smiled, "It's okay, let's eat first, leave him alone."

Gu Mingnan squatted on the ground and drew circles, thinking about Qian Xiaoru from the beginning to the end in a daze, and for a moment his mind was as muddy as he didn't know what it was like.

For the first time in his life, Gu Mingnan, a foodie, actually missed dinner.

Gu Simei thoughtfully saved a bowl for him to ensure that her second brother would not starve after he woke up.

It wasn't until the Gu family had finished eating that Gu Mingnan suddenly let out an ah, stood up and said, "I figured it out."

Gu Mingdong looked back at him: "What do you want to understand?"

"I just said why she was so kind to me. It turned out to be a life-saving grace, and she promised me with her body." Gu Mingnan clapped his hands and said.

Moreover, he also saved Qian Xiaoru twice, and saved Master Qian once. For those three lives, Qian Xiaoru would not be able to agree with him.

Gu Mingdong felt that his understanding seemed to be quite correct, but he seemed to be wrong everywhere, so he asked tentatively, "So?"

Gu Mingnan laughed, put his hips on his hips and said, "Don't tell me, this girl has really good eyesight."

"It's over, it used to be stupid, but now it's narcissistic." Gu Sanmei commented, "Second brother, can you be normal."

Gu Mingnan ignored her, and chased Gu Mingdong and asked, "Brother, what do you think of Xiaoru? Is it suitable for me? Are the two of us suitable? If I refuse, she won't cry and sue her parents, right?"

Gu Mingdong frowned and asked back: "Is it yours or mine? What do you ask me for?"

"Then... If it works, you won't have one more sister-in-law?" Gu Mingnan rarely replied shyly.

Gu Mingdong said helplessly: "Second brother, you decide on your own affairs. First think about whether you like her girl or not. If you like her, you should be the one. If you don't like it, just reject it quickly. Don't delay her youthful years."

Gu Mingnan rubbed his nose: "Brother, don't you have any suggestions?"

Gu Mingdong directly pushed his face away: "My suggestion is, if you don't eat, you will be completely cold."

Gu Mingnan let out a cry, and realized that his hungry stomach was growling, so he quickly ate his food, because he was the slowest eater, and finally had to wash the dishes by himself.

While washing the dishes, Gu Mingnan looked at the reflection in the water, couldn't help touching his cheek, and commented: "You are indeed very handsome, no wonder you are likable."

"Ugh..." Gu Sanmei saw this picture, went out and said, "It's over, I'm so stupid."

She felt a little sympathetic to Qian Xiaoru, with such a look, why did she fall in love with Gu Laoer.

Gu Mingnan didn't think so, ever since he knew that Qian Xiaoru liked him very much, Gu Mingnan became very proud, thinking that Qian Xiaoru had a unique insight.

Feeling elation in his heart for a while, Gu Mingnan, who felt that he was recognized, remembered the question he answered.

Just now he was patronizing and happy, but he didn't expect to have to give Qian Xiaoru an answer.

Do you want to be a target?

The appearance of Qian Xiaoru appeared in Gu Mingnan's heart. Before, he only thought of being Master Qian's daughter and didn't care about her beauty or ugliness. Now that he thought about it, Qian Xiaoru seemed pretty good-looking, just a little worse than the third child.

Gu Mingnan, who was about to fall asleep, became more excited and awake the more he thought about it. He got out of bed with a grunt, sneaked into Gu Mingdong's room next door, leaned against the bed and asked, "Brother, are you asleep?"

Early the next morning, after Gu Sanmei and Gu Simei finished their breakfast, they saw Gu Mingnan covering his face and bowing his head to eat.

Gu Sanmei asked strangely: "Second brother, why are you covering your face while eating?"

Gu Mingnan stammered and said, "I, I'm afraid of being hot."

"I'm afraid it will burn you, so what's the use of covering your face." Gu Sanmei felt that something was wrong, and when their second child was still looking down and not looking at anyone, she stretched out her hand to grab her.

"Let me see what's wrong with you?"

Suddenly, Gu Sanmei let out a laughing voice: "Second brother, what's wrong with your eyes? Did you become a thief last night?"

Gu Liangxing looked up and almost spit out the porridge: "Second Uncle, why did you become a giant panda?"

I saw that Gu Mingnan's eyes were completely black and blue, one left and one right very symmetrical, it looked like two dark circles were drawn on his eyes.

Seeing that he was discovered, Gu Mingnan didn't hide anymore, and raised his head to glance at his elder brother quietly.

Gu Mingdong continued to eat slowly, ignoring him at all.

Gu Mingnan had no choice but to turn his grief and anger into appetite, and he ate all the food on the table in a daze.

It wasn't until he was driving Gu Sanmei to work that Gu Mingdong walked over and said: "Second brother, when you think about it, go and give someone an answer. Don't make the girl wait too long."

"Understood." Second Brother Gu agreed, feeling happy again.

Sure enough, the eldest brother still cared about him. It was completely different from the ruthless one who didn't want to talk to him last night and sent him back to the room with his fists.

Hiss, the pain is still really painful, the elder brother didn't stop it.

But from then on, Gu Mingnan knew that he must never wake up his elder brother in the middle of the night, otherwise he would be beaten.

Gu Mingdong looked at his lively back and shook his head helplessly. Occasionally he would feel that he had raised three sons instead of an adult younger brother.

Turning around, I met Gu Simei's worried eyes: "Big Brother, do you think Second Brother and Sister Xiaoru can do it?"

Gu Simei really likes Qian Xiaoru in her heart, after all, Qian Xiaoru is gentle, speaks frankly and generously, and is also very kind to their younger brothers and sisters.

Gu Mingdong rubbed his chin, and said something irrelevant: "The second child almost forgot to eat last night."

When Gu Simei heard this, she also laughed: "It will definitely work, at least in the heart of Second Brother, sister Xiaoru is more important than food."

Gu Mingdong didn't care about the love and hatred between Gu Erdi and Qian Xiaoru, his attention was all on this season's late rice.

This is the first time that Shanghe Village grows late rice, and success or failure depends on it.

If the late rice planting and harvesting goes well, it proves that Shanghe Village can still plant two seasons a year, and the production team's harvest will immediately increase a lot.

However, what happened to Professor Hong reminded him that Gu Mingdong seldom uses supernatural powers nowadays, instead he spends his time researching planting.

Now the scene of Gu Jianguo taking Gu Mingdong wandering around the fields has become a scene of Shanghe Village.

But on this day, when passing by a rice field, Gu Mingdong frowned.

"Adong, what's wrong?" Gu Jianguo asked.

Gu Mingdong squatted down, the field was close to the river, and the water source in the field was sufficient, but at this moment, oval, water-stained disease spots appeared on the leaf sheaths on the rice in front of him.

The lesions are very inconspicuous, and if Gu Mingdong hadn't had his five senses, he wouldn't have noticed it.

Gu Jianguo looked down and thought it was mud sticking to the leaves, so he wiped it with his hand, but the spots did not disappear.

"This……"

Gu Mingdong checked the surroundings and found that there were still a few rice plants that were in a more serious condition. The diseased spots on them had turned gray-green, and even one plant had turned gray-white.

He frowned: "It looks like sheath blight."

Hearing this, Gu Jianguo immediately became nervous. Rice disease is a big deal, and these diseases can be contagious.

Gu Mingdong recalled the damage of sheath blight from the bottom of his heart. Generally, early rice is more common, and late rice is less.

This is a disease caused by fungi, which occurs frequently before and after filling, which will directly cause the final seeds to be unfulfilled, produce empty shells, and even cause the rice to die directly.

When the production team planted early rice in the first half of the year, they were escorted by Gu Mingdong's abilities, and they resisted this wave of harm without causing bad results.

As for the crop of late rice, Gu Mingdong restrained himself a little before he realized that these fungi had room to display their potential.

Gu Jianguo is also an old farmer. Knowing the dangers of these diseases, he immediately became anxious: "What should I do? I'm going to get grouted right now, and I'm getting sick no matter how well I am."

Gu Mingdong stretched out his hand, subconsciously wanting to use the power, but stopped at the next moment.

The ability didn't understand the master's mind, so he shook the lovely branch, as if asking if he would come?

Gu Mingdong withdrew his hand, allowing the ability to return to his body, then turned his head and said, "Third Uncle, sheath blight is troublesome to deal with, why don't you invite that person to come over and see if there is any good solution."

Gu Jianguo hesitated for a moment.

"He was sent down, and he should contribute to the production team."

Gu Jianguo thought so too. They asked the devolved people to make contributions, not to do other things, and immediately ran over to call for them.

As soon as the person left, Gu Mingdong flicked the small leaf of the ability, and said with a smile: "I can't always rely on you."

The ability seemed a little unconvinced, and waved the blade, as if I could handle the whole Shanghe Village, which made Gu Mingdong laugh.

After a while, Gu Jianguo hurried over with Wu Wei.

The surrounding members also noticed the strangeness, and they all came over to watch the fun.

When they found out that the rice was sick, the commune members became nervous. The output of this season's late rice would directly determine how much grain they could get this year.

With Gu Mingdong's intentional or unintentional guidance, the members of the club knew to some extent that Wu Wei used to be from the Agricultural College, and it was said that he had great skills, but these days, great skills are not a good thing.

Although some people still care about Wu Wei's identity, more people also count on him to help.

On the other hand, the educated youth had some opinions, and asked loudly, "Captain, can you trust him if he is sent down all by himself?"

Wu Mengting's eyes flickered in the back of the crowd, and her suspicious eyes fell on Wu Wei. She wondered how Gu Jianguo, who was stern and ruthless, would agree to let a lowered person help.

Qian Zhiyi glanced over there, but withdrew his eyes disinterestedly.

He straightened up, just wanting to rest for a while while Gu Jianguo was not paying attention.

But the Du brothers walked over to watch and frowned when they saw the rice. If this season's rice is ruined, can their work points be exchanged for food and money tickets?

Gu Jianguo heard the objections around him, so he asked: "He still dares to tell lies, if he can't be cured, he will be even more unlucky?"

Everyone thought the same thing, Wu Wei would not dare to actually do sabotage on the territory here.

Li Tiezhu even said: "They have to do construction for the countryside when they are devolved down. If they are not allowed to shine, is it possible to support them for nothing?"

Gu Jianguo waved his hand: "You can see if it can be cured first?"

Wu Wei looked up at Gu Mingdong, received his gaze, and then lowered his head to observe carefully.

Soon, Wu Wei said: "It is indeed sheath blight. It is reasonable to say that the disaster caused by this fungus is only prevalent under high temperature and high humidity conditions."

"It's already September, why are you still sick?" Gu Jianguo frowned.

Wu Wei thought for a while, then replied: "Maybe it's because autumn is hot this year, and there's too much water in the fields, that's why I got sick."

"Is there any help?"

Wu Wei nodded: "You can drain all the water in the paddy field, sterilize it by sun exposure, pull out the severely diseased plants and burn them, and add potassium and zinc fertilizers to the remaining places."

After he paused, he added: "If there is a symptomatic medicine that can be sprayed, the effect will be better."

Gu Jianguo frowned. Natural spraying is the best way for him, but the problem is that pesticides are more difficult to apply for than chemical fertilizers. These are materials that are in short supply all the year round, and they are not what he wants to apply for.

"Have you heard, first do as he said."

The members of the club immediately started to get busy, and they must minimize the impact of the disease.

No one paid any attention to Wu Wei, he lowered his head and walked to the work place by himself.

In another field, Wu Mengting looked up at his back, pursed her lips and did not speak.

Seeing him come back safe and sound, Zhou Zijin breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in a low voice, "I'll ask you a better way now, and you won't be held responsible if something goes wrong, right?"

Wu Wei remembered what Zheng Tong had brought over a few days ago.

"That kid Gu Mingdong said that he will find a way to let you show your face, and then life will be easier."

After several cooperations, Wu Wei trusted Gu Mingdong in his heart, which is why he was willing to take the lead today.

He looked back at the busy scene over there, and Gu Mingdong was standing beside the captain talking to him.

Wu Wei whispered, "Don't worry, there won't be any."

Zhou Zijin was still worried in his heart, but he didn't say anything more. If life can be easier, who wants to live the life now?

Only Zheng Tong seemed to have a plan in mind, and he was always cheerful.

With Wu Wei around, it was not a problem to deal with a single sheath blight. After a few days, the sheath blight of the production team in Shanghe Village really healed.

For a while, the members of Shanghe Village had a much better attitude towards Wu Wei's results.

Gu Mingdong was happy and relaxed, watching leisurely that the disease was solved, and the late rice finally began to fill in and grow wildly.

Seeing the golden waves of rice covering the farmland of the production team again, the members of the commune were all beaming, and they became more motivated to work in the field.

The adults were busy with the work in the fields, and the younger children ran around the village, hunting birds and fish in the mountains, running around all day long.

The twins usually have to go to school, so they can't play with their friends, and they are dragged away on weekends.

At the end, there was a big commotion.
