Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

When a big incident like a child drowning happened, the members of the commune didn't bother to catch fish. After all, fish was delicious, but the life of their own bastard was more important.

The group of children who followed Zhang Xiaobao down the river were killed to scare the monkeys. The beating by the river was not enough, and they had to be beaten up again when they returned home.

After Gu Jianguo finally settled Qian Zhiyi, when he returned to the production team, he heard ghosts crying and wolves everywhere.

Although beating children is very common in the countryside, after all, children are too naughty to go to the house for three days, but the scene of so many families beating together is really rare.

He grabbed a member and asked him, only to find out that when he was away from the production team, there was almost a death in the brigade.

"These little bastards should be beaten. If we don't teach them a lesson, we won't be able to pierce the sky in the future." Gu Jianguo cursed secretly.

He didn't go home directly, instead he went to Lao Gu's house first, and he was relieved when he saw his eldest nephew's face was rosy, and he didn't look like he was suffering from a cold.

Gu Mingdong is instructing the twins to kill fish, thinking that the rain stopped today, and the second brother and third sister who have not been home will definitely come back, so Gu Mingdong decided to have a whole fish feast.

The twins are young, but the fish-killing movements are quite impressive, and Gu Simei is overjoyed to see them.

As soon as Gu Jianguo came in, Gu Mingdong gave his son a few words and turned to welcome him out.

"Adong, it's also thanks to having you here today, otherwise the Zhang family's child might be gone." Gu Jianguo said with lingering fear.

Gu Mingdong was still thinking about the things in the bottom of his heart, when he heard this, he replied: "After all, I am watching the children grow up."

Moreover, it was a surprise to discover something strange at the bottom of the water.

Thinking about it, Gu Jianguo scolded again: "It's just that we usually beat too little, and dare to go to the river with such a big water."

Gu Mingdong was noncommittal about this. After all, before the incident, Zhang Xiaobao's parents didn't take it seriously. When someone mentioned it, he thought his child was good at swimming and could go down the river to catch fish.

After scolding the child, Gu Jianguo brought up another matter: "Educated Qian was also unlucky. A lightning struck a tree and fell down on the house. No one else was fine, but he was completely crushed."

"Fortunately, the health center checked and said that the hands and feet were not broken, but that he was pressed by heavy objects for too long, and there was some blood in his body, so he had to take good care of it."

I don't know whether to call him unlucky or fateful.

When Qian Zhiyi was mentioned, Gu Jianguo felt even more disturbed: "What do you call this?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Mingdong asked curiously, "What about the others, why didn't they come back together?"

Gu Jianguo's eyebrows drooped: "Don't mention it, he finally woke up, either because it hurts here, or because it hurts there. The doctor said that he can go home and take care of him if there is nothing wrong.

Qian Zhiyi was injured this time because of a collapsed house, so the brigade would naturally be responsible for the medical expenses. Because of this, Gu Jianguo was very dissatisfied with the practice of relying on him to stay out of the hospital because he was fine at all.

"I finally understand that even if nothing happens, Qian Zhiqing will definitely find ways to be lazy."

Gu Jianguo's impression of Qian Zhiyi was originally bad, and after this incident, it became even worse.

"Then he just stays in the health center alone?" Gu Mingdong didn't find it strange. With Qian Zhiyi trying his best to avoid labor, he finally had a valid excuse, so it's strange that he would let it go.

Gu Jianguo frowned, and said in a low voice, "Dani Liu is with you over there, hey..."

Liu Dani was there with her inappropriate name, and when the Liu family found out, there would probably be a commotion.

Gu Mingdong patted the third uncle's shoulder sympathetically, that's why he didn't want to be a brigade cadre, a bunch of trivial things can annoy people to death.

"Third Uncle, the rain has stopped and the sun has come out today. Before you come back, the big guy will put some water in the paddy field, and wait for you to come back to arrange seedlings."

When Uncle Gu heard about the busy farming, he really forgot about Qian Zhiyi.

"Yes, the spring planting is the most important thing."

After speaking, he pulled Gu Mingdong and walked into the field. Gu Jianguo smiled a little when he saw the rice fields that had been covered by rainwater and had been put away after a whole morning.

It's not bad for the river to be flooded like this. The bugs hiding in the ground are all drowned. The only thing to worry about is that the fertility of the land will be taken away. However, they have applied for more fertilizer than last year, so there is no need to worry too much.

"Looking at the seedlings that can be raised in these two days, God opened his eyes, and finally caught up."

Before, he was worried that it would rain all the time, and the seedling fields would be difficult to cultivate, but he didn't expect the heavy rain to stop soon.

The two walked around the field, and occasionally they could see the members of the commune working while picking up the fish stuck in the rice field.

Seeing Gu Jianguo approaching, the members put their hands behind their backs and looked at him with silly smiles.

Gu Jianguo waved his hand, pretending he didn't see it.

Although the fish in the rice fields should also belong to the public, you can rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to drink water. In spring, you dig wild vegetables and mushrooms in the mountains, and in the summer, you catch fish in the river. Gu Jianguo would not care about his behavior.

In private, Gu Jianguo also said to his eldest nephew: "It's weird to say that the higher ups, since ancient times, have never seen farmers not being allowed to go up to the mountains to hunt and go down to the river to catch fish."

Anyway, he couldn't understand it.

Gu Mingdong said with a smile: "If everyone thinks there is a problem, then such a policy will be adjusted sooner or later."

Calculating the time, it will be loose in a few years, when this small mountain village will usher in new opportunities and challenges.

"I hope." Gu Jianguo sighed, not very optimistic in his heart.

"We're fine here. Every time I go to town, I always feel flustered."

In fact, the past two years have been much better than the first one. At that time, people were afraid in the bottom of their hearts. Even the rural areas were not spared from the turmoil. Wang Mazi and Wu Laosan did not suffer less.

The same is true for the four people who were sent down later. In the first three days a day, even production was almost delayed.

Gu Jianguo also only mentioned it once, and soon returned to the matter of farming. Last year, their production team had a bumper harvest and was rewarded by the commune. Gu Mingdong also went to the surrounding production teams to publicize their experience as a representative.

This is an honor that the production team of Shanghe Village has never had.

Up until now, when Gu Jianguo went out and met people from other production teams, they would talk about what happened last year, and by the way, praise his eldest nephew for his ability, which made Gu Jianguo very proud.

Furthermore, before the start of this year, Secretary Wang called Gu Jianguo, and specifically instructed them to concentrate on production, and they must not be complacent.

Gu Jianguo thought, even if it can't be better than last year, it has to maintain that level, otherwise Shanghe Village will lose face a lot.

The two of them were discussing, when three male educated youths came over with mournful faces.

"Captain, the male educated youth's house has collapsed, and the buried belongings can be used if they are dug up, but there is no house, where do we live?" Du Ming asked with a sad face.

It was only then that Gu Jianguo remembered that the Men's Educated Youth Institute had collapsed, and it must not be a matter of repairing it. Qian Zhiyi hadn't come back, but there were still three male educated youths in the Educated Youth Institute who had no place to settle down.

He also had some headaches for a while: "If this is the case, you will first live in the members' homes for a while, and after the spring planting is over, the big guys can free up their hands, and then help you rebuild the educated youth center."

It is impossible to delay the spring planting. During the spring planting period, who has the spare time to help people clean up the house.

Du Ming sighed helplessly: "Is there any member willing?"

In fact, the male educated youth is not willing to live in the house of the commune members. The local family has a large population, and it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps when living in it.

When they first came to Shanghe Village, the educated youths still disliked the poor living conditions of the educated youths.

After getting in touch with the educated youths of other production teams, they realized that it was lucky to have a separate educated youth institute.

Xiahe Village next door did not have a separate educated youth center. When the educated youth went to the local area, they were directly placed in the homes of local commune members.

The educated youth from the city grew up in a different environment than the commune members from the countryside. It is strange that they can live together. It is okay to meet some talkative ones, but it is better to meet a bad family.

It's okay for male educated youths, but if it's female educated youths, things will be more troublesome.

After listening to the wonderful things that other educated youths who went to the countryside said, the educated youths in Shanghe Village were very satisfied.

They also knew that the local commune members hated them from the bottom of their hearts, looked down on them, and thought they could do nothing. In order to avoid conflicts, Gu Jianguo definitely wanted them to live alone so as not to cause disputes.

It's a pity that the farming season is busy now, and Du Ming and his friends also understand in their hearts that it is impossible for the production team to spare people to help them repair the house first, so they can only bear with it first.

The Du Ming brothers looked at each other and said, "Captain, I'll trouble you then, help us find someone to talk to."

If they didn't need to ask, Gu Jianguo definitely couldn't find someone in a mess, otherwise when there was a problem, he, the captain of the brigade, would have to come forward to solve it.

The problem of the residence cannot be delayed, Gu Jianguo first found a new house built a few years ago and moved out, and the old house had a vacant room.

Who knew that the members of the club shook their heads quickly when they heard this.

"Captain, you know that there are too many people in our family and we can't live there anymore, so we gritted our teeth and borrowed money to build a new house. Now there is no place for male educated youths to live."

"Captain, our three daughters are not married yet, so what will it be like to let a male educated youth live here?"

"We live in the new house by ourselves. If they want, they can live in the old house."

Gu Jianguo looked at the old house. Half of the wall was washed away in the torrential rain a few days ago. There is no room for people to live there.

Some people were willing, but turned around and asked: "Captain, didn't everyone say that the educated youths have subsidies? If they want to live in my house, can they give me the subsidies?"

Gu Jianguo was amused: "Where did you hear the nonsense, these educated youths have never been given subsidies since they came down."

Perhaps in the first two years, the educated youth who took the initiative to go to the countryside could get subsidies, but after two years, the state could not distribute them, and the subsidies disappeared.

Qian Zhiyi and his group never received subsidies, let alone the group that came later.

Upon hearing that there was no subsidy, the members who took the initiative to invite the male educated youths to live in immediately changed their tone: "Forget it, our house is too small, and there is really no room for it."

Gu Jianguo was so angry that if it weren't for the fact that his two sons' new houses hadn't been built yet, and there was really no room in the house, he would definitely have brought the male educated youth home to live in.

When the time came, Gu Jianguo remembered Gu Mingdong's old house again.

When he went over to take a look, the old house was dilapidated, but it was built with good materials, so it was still intact.

"Adong, your old house..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Jianguo saw Wu Wei coming out of the room, and smiled restrainedly when he saw him.

"Here, why are they in your old house?" Gu Jianguo frowned suddenly.

Gu Mingdong slapped his head, and quickly explained: "Third Uncle, I forgot to tell you that last night we had a landslide at the foot of the mountain, which completely crushed their houses."

"Thanks to my worrying about the piggy in the production team, I went over to take a look and found out that I rescued him."

"Otherwise, just a few of them, old and young, will be crushed to death alive."

Gu Jianguo was also taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Why didn't you say something about it earlier!"

Although it is a stinky old nine who has been sent down, it is human life after all. Besides, Wu Wei has also helped a lot of people in the village. Gu Jianguo absolutely does not want them to have any accidents.

"It didn't mean that the Educated Youth Center collapsed just now. I thought I'd wait until you finished dealing with it, so I forgot about it."

Gu Mingdong really forgot.

Gu Jianguo sighed: "If you let them live here, the production team may gossip."

"Then what to do, we can't let them sleep on the street." Gu Mingdong said frankly, he is not afraid of other people's gossip, isn't the production team gossiping enough about their family?

Gu Jianguo went to look at the place at the foot of the mountain, and only saw a small patch of dirt. One can imagine how thrilling it was last night.

In comparison, the Educated Youth Institute is nothing compared to the big witch.

But the pigsty was fine, which made Gu Jianguo feel better.

"Forget it, I don't have time to build them a house for the time being, let them live in it first, and wait until the spring planting is over."

Only in this way, where the male educated youths live has become a problem.

Compared with the educated youth who had many things to do, Gu Mingdong was glad that he acted first and let the four of Zheng Tong move in first.

Otherwise, their house would be empty, Gu Sanshu would definitely have to arrange people in first.

If this person came in, it would be difficult to get them to leave.

Seeing that Uncle Gu was in trouble because of the educated youths, Gu Mingdong suggested: "Uncle San, actually the commune members don't want male educated youths to live in their homes. Except for having daughters in the family and the taboo of new daughters-in-law, other families are afraid of the educated youth's food." There is little, no subsidy, and they have to eat and use their family after living in."

After Gu Jianguo thought about it, it was indeed the truth.

The educated youth's house collapsed, and the quilts and the like were taken out and dried in the sun, but they could still be used, but the grain would always be lost if it was soaked in water.

Gu Mingdong continued: "The educated youth institute collapsed, and the production team must be responsible. Why not take part of the money from the production team as a subsidy, so that the members will be willing to benefit from the benefits."

The public accounts of the production team are handled by Gu Mingdong, so he knows that there is a surplus in the accounts, and he can still afford this part.

After hearing this, Gu Jianguo really felt that it made sense.

"That's right, the team members can make up for it first, and after this wave of work is over, they can repair their houses, and it won't cost much."

After speaking, I turned around and planned to ask again.

What Gu Jianguo didn't expect was that as soon as the subsidy was proposed, the members of the commune began to scramble to let the male educated youth live in their own homes.

Those who have daughters don’t worry anymore. Those with less rooms say they can squeeze together, making Gu Jianguo one head and two big ones.

He simply asked a few male educated youths: "Which house do you want to live in, you can choose for yourself."

The three of Du Ming looked at each other in blank dismay. If possible, they would still like to live together. After all, they had a revolutionary friendship and were used to each other.

However, the houses of the members are limited, and it is impossible to accommodate three people to live together.

At this moment, Wang Mazi suddenly jumped out: "Captain, or let them live in my house."

Gu Jianguo was taken aback, thinking that although Wang Mazi had a bad reputation and had a criminal record, there were two rooms in their house, and he lived alone in one room, and three male educated youths lived in one room, which was quite appropriate.

The brothers of the Du family knew about Wang Mazi's "great achievements", and they frowned a little displeased.

Living with such scoundrels, can they sleep at ease?

The members of the commune obviously thought so too, and Aunt Liu laughed in the crowd: "Wang Mazi, with your character, can an educated youth feel at ease living here, but you have to worry about it every night."

Wang Mazi was not easy to provoke, so he just sprayed back: "You mother has the time to meddle in other people's affairs, but you should take care of your own daughter first. Good girls are always rushing to post to educated youths, so you are ashamed to go out."

Third Aunt Liu was trembling with anger at this bastard's unscrupulous words, and thinking of her daughter who was disobedient in blind dates and went to fool around with male educated youths, she couldn't refute for a while.

Wang Mazi choked back, and said: "Captain, three educated youths, I know I have a bad reputation in the past, and you must not trust me, so if you live in that house, I will move out, but the subsidy money will have to be given to me." I."

Gu Jianguo was confused by him: "Wait, you moved out? Where did you move?"

Wang Mazi swept across the crowd, and straightened his back again: "The big guys also know that my wife has been away for many years, and Xiaozhu's mother has no man, and now there is no man in their family, so I thought about it." Be her a door-to-door son-in-law."

"What's the matter?"

Gu Jianguo couldn't believe his ears.

The commune members were also in an uproar, but Wu Laosan stood at the end of the crowd with his head down, regretting that he had finished speaking, Wang Mazi could do this, so could he.

It's embarrassing to be married, but at least there is a woman. Wu Laosan can't get a wife for the rest of his life. He is very envious of Wang Mazi who beats away a wife and can find another one. Even if this wife is old and old, she is still a woman .

His eyeballs rolled around, circling around the woman in the production team.

After Wang Mazi said it, he became fluent on the contrary: "I am a man after all. I can go to the fields to earn work points to support their wives. From now on, our family of four will live a solid life."

Third Aunt Liu seemed to have grasped the clue, and shouted loudly: "Okay, come and have a look, big guy. I knew that these two flirting with each other is not a good thing. They are messing with the relationship between men and women."

"Fuck, I knew you were not a good person, and you still have the face to talk about other people's family."

However, Wang Mazi had already thought of a countermeasure: "We are unmarried men and women are unmarried, which is reasonable. Besides, we are married and live in a serious way. How can it be regarded as messing with the relationship between men and women?"

"She's a widow, who knows if the two of you have been on good terms for a long time?"

"The Liu family, is it possible that you still want to come to the feudal society and make women widowed for a lifetime and set up a chastity memorial archway?"

The commune members present whispered and pointed in this direction, but it was a pity that Widow Liu was not there, and Wang Mazi was thick-skinned so he was not afraid of them talking.

Gu Jianguo coughed and stopped their voices: "You thought about this yourself, does Widow Liu know? Does she agree?"

There is no trace of Widow Liu's family around. Since the death of her eldest son, Widow Liu always stays at home except when she is working, like an invisible person.

He does not object to widows remarrying. It is very common for women whose husbands died in the production team to remarry, but few can keep it.

Wang Mazi hurriedly said: "She agrees, Captain, while everyone is here today, she will also be a witness for us."

Gu Jianguo frowned, feeling in his heart that Wang Mazi was not a good person to entrust, but if both parties wanted to live together, he didn't need to beat the mandarin ducks.

Gu Jianguo had no objection, but it did not mean that the Liu family had no objection.

The shriveled old Liu, who hadn't seen him for a long time, couldn't help it anymore, jumped out and scolded: "Damn, what are you thinking about? The Liu family's house was left by my elder brother. Maybe I have to take advantage of you, a wild man."

Wang Mazi's face darkened, and he secretly thought that if the old Liu hadn't been so powerful in the village, he and Widow Liu wouldn't have had to delay for so many years, and Liu Xiaozhu hadn't been able to call him dad.

"Captain, I don't agree. This is our Liu family's house. She is a widow. Why should she decide? If she wants to marry, she can get out. I have to keep the children and the house."

"Dazhu is dead, but Xiaozhu is still there, my elder brother hasn't cut off the roots yet!"

Gu Jianguo frowned even tighter. Although what old Liu said was cruel and unfair to Widow Liu, it was in line with the usual practice of the production team.

Wang Mazi's expression changed unpredictably, and he suddenly said: "It is said that I am married. From now on, Aihua and Xiaozhu will still be named Liu. If I make money, I will raise them well and let them go to school."

"I don't plan on Liu's house either. The house will be left to Xiaozhu in the future. Educated youths will never live there forever. I have my own house."

"Why, you stopped me from marrying in, is it possible that your family is willing to help pay for the two children to grow up?"

With a pressing question, the old Liu was choked up.

The surrounding commune members were also dumbfounded, wondering if Wang Mazi was stupid. Although his conditions were not good and he had been reformed through labor, Widow Liu was almost ten years older than him, and there were two underage children at home.

After he became a married man, he was used as a cow and a horse for others to raise children for the old Liu family. What was he trying to do?

Others don't know what Wang Mazi is up to, but Gu Mingdong does.

Wang Mazi wanted Liu Xiaozhu's son. Before the old Gu's family moved, Gu Mingdong could hear Wang Mazi jumping over the wall and entering the door every three days, arguing with Widow Liu.

Unlike Widow Liu who was only thinking about her son in front of her, Wang Mazi saw that other people's children could go to school, but his own Xiaozhu could only stay at home, and he was as thin as a bamboo pole, so his heart ached.

Gu Jianguo saw that the shriveled old Liu had a dark face and said nothing, so he said, "Old Liu, if Wang Mazi agrees to marry him, doesn't let the two children change their surnames, and is willing to support them in school later, then you have nothing to choose. "

The shriveled old Liu grimaced, and snorted coldly: "Forget it, I can't control Sao Tiaozi's marriage."

The sister-in-law who has been called for decades has become a showy hoof in one day.

No matter what others say, Wang Mazi is quite happy in his heart: "Captain, since the Liu family has also agreed, I will move later and let the male educated youth live in my house. They can live as long as they want, as long as I subsidy."

With subsidies, he can send his son to study.

So it's settled.

After watching the farce, Gu Mingdong slowly turned back home. Gu Simei was the chef, the twins and Gu Yun helped, and the whole fish feast for a table was almost done.

As soon as Gu Mingdong entered the door, he heard the sound of a car bell coming from outside. When he probed his head, he asked in surprise, "Why did you come here together?"
