Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

The second brother Gu jumped up and became a first-class worker, and got the salary that other drivers envied. Now he is already a member of the auto repair factory, but he is only stationed in the transportation team of Xiyuan Town for a long time.

But with strength, no matter where you are, you can win.

Gu Mingnan fully realized this point.

In the transportation team before, he was the one who flattered people, but now he doesn't need to speak out, and the people around him are rushing to please, not necessarily trying to do anything, just asking Gu Mingnan to take care of himself first when repairing the car.

Some people even made sarcastic remarks before, thinking that Gu Mingnan sought out Master Qian's daughter to marry him in order to be Master Qian's son-in-law.

Now these voices disappeared without a trace, and even felt that Master Qian had a good eye and acted first, and it was already too late for them to introduce them.

Occasionally, the transportation team of Changhe County next door encountered troubles that could not be solved. After hearing about Gu Mingnan's reputation, they would ask him to go over to help from time to time.

In the past, the transportation team of Xiyuan Town begged others to do things, who knew that it was the other way around now.

Captain Zhang walked like a wind for a while, and he was even more satisfied with Gu Mingnan. He liked to take him everywhere, especially when he went to the main factory, and wished to hang him at the entrance of the transportation team as a signboard.

Gradually, the surrounding transportation teams all knew that the transportation team of Xiyuan Town had got a capable person. Occasionally, when the main factory was short of manpower and had to queue up, they would come here to ask.

There are many questions that come to my door, and there are all kinds of strange things.

Some Gu Mingnan can repair, and some can't, but he has books, he reads the book according to the book, and if he can't fix it, he goes home and asks his elder brother. After a period of time, he really made some fame.

If Gu Mingnan had to say it himself, if his eldest brother was willing to leave home and come to town, let alone a first-class worker, even an engineer would be wronged.

It's a pity that the elder brother's ambition is not here, so he wants to go home and farm, and it is in vain that he, the younger brother, is cheap.

For this reason, Gu Mingnan felt that he owed his elder brother even more, and the money he got every month was used to make up for his elder brother's health, and he quietly went home with the meat.

Not to mention the remorse at the auto repair shop, if he had known that he was such a powerful talent, he shouldn't have been taken away by Captain Zhang.

Captain Zhang was very satisfied. In addition to the salary of the auto repair shop, he also gave Gu Mingnan a part of subsidies in private, so that Gu Mingnan could stay in Xiyuan Town in a down-to-earth manner. It would be better if he could bring out a few apprentices early. up.

After a few rounds, what Gu Mingnan got was much richer than a salary of 31 yuan. He was very happy in his heart, and secretly thought that he was right to listen to what his elder brother said. If his elder brother hadn't forced him to learn auto repair, how could he have such a happy life? Keep listening for a lifetime.

If Gu Mingdong knew his younger brother's Hongyuan, he might kick him out of the house directly, so as to save him from being annoying all day long.

Not only that, Gu Mingnan has become a master now.

It has only been two years since Gu Mingnan joined the transportation team. He was someone else's apprentice before, but now he has become a master after turning around. He has two clever apprentices to help him.

These two apprentices were selected by Captain Zhang himself. They have gone to high school and are very clever. The two of them are about the same age as Gu Mingnan, but they respect him very much, and they call each other a master.

Gu Mingnan now has his own office, he sits there every morning, and his apprentices are done with the work of fetching water and making tea. He is only responsible for the three things of auto repair, car repair, and teaching apprentices. It is easier than before to get a sports car more.

If Gu Mingnan hadn't stopped them, the two apprentices would have wished to follow them home to help farm the land in order to learn some real skills.

Gu Mingnan was very proud in his heart, but when he got home and was beaten by his elder brother, no matter how happy he was in the house, he put on a humble appearance outside, teaching his disciples not to hide his secrets, which made his reputation even better.

Seeing this, Master Qian boasted to his wife that he had good eyesight and that his daughter found a good partner when he got home.

For a while, the Qian family couple saw that Gu Mingnan was getting more and more powerful, but Qian's mother didn't mention keeping her daughter for another two years, and urged the two to get married quickly, preferably three years later.

In private, Mother Qian also said to Master Qian: "You said these two children are not in a hurry. We have been talking for half a year, so why don't you want to get married quickly."

"A'nan is getting better and better now, maybe one day the main factory will ask people to go there, what will Xiaoru do then?"

"Do you think we should mention it, let the two children get married quickly, and it will be safe after giving birth to the child."

But Master Qian retorted: "What are you worrying about, Anan is not the kind of person who forgets righteousness for profit. Besides, it doesn't matter where he will go in the future, his family is still in Shanghe Village."

"I'm not worried about my daughter, I'm afraid of being preempted by shameless people." Mother Qian said.

Master Qian thought for a while and said, "But our daughter is not young, and it's not too early to get married now."

Qian's mother got support, and the next day she revealed some rumors on the sidelines.

But Gu Mingnan didn't plan to get married so early, he hadn't earned enough money to build a new house, and as for the current house at home, he felt that he definitely couldn't occupy it.

Now that the mother-in-law had spoken, Gu Mingnan suddenly became embarrassed. Fortunately, Qian Xiaoru didn't plan to get married so early. She felt that it was fine now, so she was not in a hurry.

Leaving aside Gu Mingnan's little sweet annoyance, Gu Mingdong also felt a little headache looking at the double-cropping rice that was blooming everywhere.

Because the production team in Shanghe Village had a bumper harvest last year, it set a good example for the production teams around Xiyuan Town. Starting this year, the production teams around Xiyuan Town began to plant double-cropping rice.

Although Professor Hong returned disappointed, it was a convenience for Wang Shuji to have him as a bridge in the middle. He applied for hybrid rice seeds earlier than many places.

With the truly improved rice seeds, Gu Mingdong let go of his original hanging heart, and finally he didn't have to worry that the production teams around him would not have his golden finger, and the production would actually be reduced by then.

Now I see that the double-season rice of other production teams is slowly growing. Although it is not as good as that in Shanghe Village, it is at least slightly better than previous years. The combined harvest of the two seasons will definitely have a qualitative improvement.

At this point, Gu Mingdong heaved a sigh of relief.

When the temperature rises, the rice grows faster, and it looks like a lush and lush scene.

At this time in previous years, it was the time when people had to tighten their belts to live, but this year, the situation in Shanghe Village was good.

Last year, the production team received a lot of food. As long as people pay attention carefully, the old food in the family has not been eaten at this moment.

Even so, the conscientious members of the commune will not let go of the wild vegetables and bamboo shoots all over the mountains and plains.

There are many bamboo forests in the production team of Shanghe Village. Bamboo forests are almost everywhere in front of the house and at the foot of the mountain. The bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets and chairs used by every household are almost all woven by themselves.

It is not allowed to go in and out of the large bamboo forests owned by the brigade to dig bamboo shoots at will, but the scattered "wild bamboo forests" are not strictly controlled.

Bamboo is a good thing, bamboo shoots can be eaten, bamboo can also be used for weaving, but occasionally it can cause trouble.

Just like Gu Mingdong's house is a large bamboo forest, if you really want to leave it alone, the bamboo forest will grow densely in those few years, which is not conducive to the growth of bamboo, and it will directly spread the bamboo whip into their vegetable garden.

Gu Mingdong didn't want to wake up one day, and a crop of bamboo shoots would emerge from the foundation of his house.

So every year when bamboo shoots grow, the old Gu family has to dig around the vegetable garden to ensure that the bamboo does not cross the boundary.

Gu Mingdong carried a hoe to make sure that no bamboo was missed before continuing to walk towards the bamboo forest.

Gu Liangchen helped behind with a small hoe, while Gu Liangxing and Gu Yun carried small baskets to pick up the bamboo shoots they had dug up.

After picking it up for a while, Gu Liangxing became unhappy: "Ah Chen, let me dig for a while."

"No, you will dig up all the bamboo shoots." Gu Liangchen was not willing to give him his exclusive small hoe.

"I will definitely be careful." Gu Liangxing begged in a circle, "Just let me use it for a while, okay?"

Being so entangled by the elder brother, Gu Liangchen reluctantly gave him the hoe: "Just for a while."

He sighed in his heart, as expected, the elder brother was not as good as the younger sister, Xiao Yuner never competed with him for work, unlike the elder brother who always made trouble when he thought about it, Gu Liangchen felt that he had already endured too much at such a young age.

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely return it to you as soon as I'm done using it." Gu Liangxing didn't realize his brother's helplessness at all.

Gu Mingdong watched cheerfully from the side. He never participated in the small lawsuits between the twins, and let the brothers settle it by themselves. After all, the twins would listen to what he said as a father, but it is inevitable that there will be partiality in life.

Seeing Gu Liangxing swinging his hoe now, Gu Mingdong only reminded him: "Be careful, don't swing at your brother and Xiaoyun."

"Got it." Gu Liangxing adjusted his movements obediently, but he obviously didn't have the patience of Gu Liangchen. The bamboo shoots he dug up were either too long or too short, or he just hoeed half of them.

Gu Liangxing picked up his own bamboo shoots awkwardly, but he didn't have the nerve to stuff them into Gu Yun's basket.

"Eat these nights." Gu Liangxing found a good way for himself.

The bamboo forest is lush and green, and there is a rustling sound when the breeze blows, which is very pleasant.

Gu Liangchen saw through the big brother's little calculation: "Then don't dig too much, if you can't finish it, it won't be fresh tomorrow."

"I can finish it, I love bamboo shoots." Gu Liangxing was stubborn, "Dad likes to eat it too."

Several people were digging bamboo shoots talking and laughing, when a small head popped out of the bamboo forest, Liu Xiaozhu looked at them enviously.

Gu Mingdong glanced at the small basket behind him, and asked with a smile: "Is Xiaozhu also coming to dig bamboo shoots?"

Liu Xiaozhu pursed his lips and smiled, and said with some embarrassment: "Uncle Adong, can I dig bamboo shoots with you?"

"There's nothing wrong with this. There are so many bamboo shoots that we can't finish digging." At this time, the bamboo forests belonged to the state, not their own, even though the bamboo forest was very close to their home.

When Liu Xiaozhu heard this, he immediately ran over happily.

Gu Liangxing greeted immediately: "Xiao Zhu, come here and dig together."

Although the relationship between the adults is not good, the relationship between the twins and Liu Xiaozhu is quite good.

Gu Liangchen asked, "Where is Sister Aihua? Why didn't you come together?"

Liu Xiaozhu sighed and said, "My mother asked her to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables."

"She went alone?" Wild vegetables can be dug anywhere, so why go up the mountain.

Liu Xiaozhu nodded, and then said: "My mother said to dig more porridge to eat, so that there is enough food for the family."

"Is there not enough food in your family?" Gu Liangchen asked strangely.

Liu Xiaozhu hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Actually, there are more, but my mother doesn't let everyone eat it. Fortunately, Uncle Wang is a kind person, and he said that there is food to eat, otherwise it will be moldy, otherwise we can only have clear soup and little water. "

For a moment, Gu Liangchen didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "What is your mother trying to do..."

Liu Dazhu died a long time ago, and Widow Liu only has two children, Aihua and Xiaozhu, and they earned the food in the house from working together, but they did not let the children eat enough.

Liu Xiaozhu was better. The clothes Liu Aihua was wearing had long been worn out, with patches piled on top of each other, and her face was sallow and emaciated. People in the production team saw it and said that Widow Liu's brain was broken.

There was no way to fight the famine in the past few years. After the two years of life have improved, who is willing to let their children starve, even if they can't eat white rice, sweet potatoes are always enough, right?

Gu Mingdong listened to him, and felt sorry for the two children who didn't meet good parents, but it was someone else's business after all.

He didn't say much, but when we parted, he helped Liu Xiaozhu fill a bamboo basket.

Liu Xiaozhu hurriedly said, "Uncle Adong, I dug it myself, so I can't take yours."

"Take it home and eat it slowly. We dug too much today, and we can't finish it if we take it all home." Gu Mingdong said with a smile.

Liu Xiaozhu lowered his head, even if he couldn't finish eating the bamboo shoots, he could dry them into dried bamboo shoots and save them to eat slowly.

But Gu Mingdong had already brought the twins home. He walked in the front, with three children next to his tall back, and occasionally turned his head to listen to the twins.

If his father was still alive, would it be the same, Liu Xiaozhu couldn't help but think so.

He picked up the bamboo basket on his back and walked towards the house.

At the door of the house, the siblings ran into each other. Liu Aihua looked tired, and was a little surprised when she saw the bamboo basket on her younger brother's back: "Digged so much?"

"I met Uncle A Dong, he gave me a lot." Liu Xiaozhu explained.

Upon hearing this, Liu Aihua patted his head: "Just accept it for you, and don't bring it up when you get home, so as not to cause trouble for him instead."

Liu Xiaozhu naturally knew why and nodded.

When the siblings walked into the house, their faces became more gloomy, but they were lively when they were not outside.

Widow Liu sat in the living room with a sullen face, and scolded without raising her head when she heard the voice: "I just came back when I ran out. Why don't you need someone to do so many things at home? My mother is a hard worker, and she worked so hard to raise you." Big, it turned out to be a pack of white-eyed wolves."

"Mom, didn't you ask my sister to dig wild vegetables?" Liu Xiaozhu couldn't help but argue.

Widow Liu suddenly raised her head and stared at him bitterly: "Why, I gave birth to her and raised her, so I can't use her anymore."

Liu Xiaozhu opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but Liu Aihua pulled him, and the two of them went into the kitchen together.

The voice of Widow Liu cursing came from outside, and the piercing scolding came to my ears.

Liu Xiaozhu couldn't help but her eyes turned red: "Sister, I don't like this place, let's go back to our own home."

The home he was talking about was the thatched hut at the foot of the mountain, where the siblings lived before.

Why doesn't Liu Aihua want to go back, but that thatched hut has collapsed long ago, and now the four people over there are still living in Gu Mingdong's old house, where did they go out to live?

Because of family reasons, Liu Aihua matured much earlier than ordinary children, and she comforted her in turn: "If she likes to scold, let her scold, and we will pretend we can't hear you."

Now that Wang Mazi has also moved in, and is willing to pay for Xiaozhu to study, Liu Aihua understands in her heart that if the two of them leave home again, it is impossible for them to support their younger brother's education by themselves.

Liu Xiaozhu sniffed, and couldn't help saying: "Is she our real mother, why did she treat us like this?"

Liu Aihua sighed and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The siblings thought at the same time, why did they want to be reincarnated as Widow Liu's children?Could it be that he committed a sin in his previous life?

Soon, Wang Mazi's voice came from outside: "What are you doing cursing again, hurry up and pour me a glass of water."

Widow Liu's voice stopped immediately, like a duck being pinched by its neck.

One thing is one thing, Wang Mazi is a stingy bastard, he can shamelessly marry only for his son, and he has no good temper towards Liu Widow.

You know, Liu Pingping had been beaten by Wang Mazi for more than ten years, and Widow Liu didn't dare to make him angry.

On the other end, Gu Liangxing said indignantly: "Sister Aihua and Xiaozhu are too unlucky. Their mother doesn't let them eat enough, and makes them work hard. They are worse than stepmothers."

Even Gu Liangchen, who has never been nosy, said: "They are so pitiful."

Gu Yun gestured and said: [Sister Aihua is smart, she can write a lot of words. 】

No matter how difficult life was, Liu Aihua never let go of her desire to study. She had Wu Xuanxuan on the one hand and Gu Mingbei on the other. She secretly learned a lot from the two little sisters.

It's a pity that with the Liu family's situation, they would never send their daughter to study.

Gu Mingdong also felt a little pity in his heart, but it was impossible for him to interfere in other people's children's schooling or not. He had no position. Once he spoke, there would be endless trouble, and Gu Mingdong was most afraid of trouble.

Compared with the troubles of the Liu family, he was not so kind to get involved.

In the end, he only said: "Let's go, go home."

Seeing that the three children were a little drooping because of Liu Xiaozhu's incident, Gu Mingdong returned home and said, "Let's make braised bamboo shoots tonight."

Gu Mingbei was taken aback: "It's too expensive."

"It's okay to eat once in a while." Gu Mingdong smiled.

Gu Simei looked at the three children, seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will make more and eat enough at once."

Hearing that there are braised bamboo shoots to eat in the evening, the three children cheered up immediately. When they thought of the fresh and tender bamboo shoots in oil and heavy sauce, they didn't have time to think about other things. Sure enough, there was nothing that a good meal couldn't solve.

"Fourth Aunt, I'll peel the bamboo shoots." Gu Liangxing volunteered.

Gu Mingdong simply moved a stool and sat at the door to watch the children peel and play with bamboo shoots.

From the peeling of the bamboo shoots, we can also see the completely different personalities of the three children. Gu Liangxing is eager to do anything, and he is strong and fast, but he always peels the bamboo shoots as if they have been chewed by a dog.

Gu Liangchen was much more patient. He took a slow and unhurried action. First he peeled it, and then twisted his fingers around it, and a bamboo shoot was peeled off smoothly.

Gu Yun is much more careful. After peeling, she will stack the bamboo shoots one by one, which looks like a small white and tender pyramid.

Gu Mingdong found it very interesting to watch, and soon, Gu Liangxing realized that he couldn't make a move, so he moved a little slower, learning the movements of his younger siblings.

At this moment, a voice came from outside: "My fellow, can you excuse me to drink water?"

Gu Mingdong subconsciously looked out, only to see a man with a gentle face, at most 25 or [-], standing at the door, looking into the room with a smile on his face, and saw him looking up and shaking the green kettle in his hand.

It was a military kettle, which immediately attracted the attention of the three children.

Shanghe Village is located in a remote place, backed by mountains, and there are few strangers passing by. How could a man with a military water bottle suddenly appear?

Gu Mingdong was vigilant in his heart, but he still said: "Yes, I will fight for you."

The man said politely, "Thank you then."

Gu Mingdong walked over to take the kettle, and the moment his fingers touched, the man grabbed his hand suddenly.

Gu Mingdong almost didn't give him a fist directly, who would have thought that the man just held his hand enthusiastically, and thanked him repeatedly: "My fellow, thank you so much, I'm dying of thirst along the way."

Haoxuan didn't make a move directly, Gu Mingdong shook off his hand with a cold face: "You wait here, I'll call you."

"It's too much trouble for you, or you can tell me where the water tank is, and I can go by myself." The man laughed.

Gu Mingdong looked at him and said, "I don't like strangers entering my house."

The man didn't seem to have expected him to refuse so bluntly, after all, most country people are very simple and enthusiastic these days.

He blinked his eyes and said with a smile, "I was the one who was abrupt, so I'll just wait here."

Gu Mingdong glanced at the three children, who nodded sensiblely and moved into the room tacitly.

When he entered the kitchen, the man stepped in, glanced at the room, and his eyes fell on the bamboo shoots: "The bamboo shoots look very fresh."

Gu Liangxing subconsciously wanted to speak, but the brother next to him pulled him. He reacted and turned around to continue peeling the bamboo shoots.

The man was a little surprised. He didn't expect their children to be so vigilant, which is really rare.

Gu Mingdong didn't give him time to continue looking at it, and quickly filled the kettle and came out: "It's full."

Means you can go.

The man laughed and looked up at him: "Gu Mingdong?"

Gu Mingdong narrowed his eyes, his eyes were clearly guarded.

With his cold face on his face, the man continued: "I came to see you specially, let's chat?"

Gu Mingdong looked at his appearance, and suddenly a name flashed in his heart: "Xie Nanshan?"

Xie Nanshan didn't deny it either, nodded and said, "I'm Xie Nanshan."

Gu Mingdong quickly thought of Lao Lu. He looked at Xie Nanshan and agreed with his second brother's words from the bottom of his heart. This person didn't look like he would do black market business at all.

Moreover, the other party suddenly came to the door like this, obviously knowing everything about their family's situation, which is not normal.

You have to know that even Lao Liu doesn't know much about him. He doesn't know his full name at all, and he doesn't even know that their home is in Shanghe Village!

The vigilance in Gu Mingdong's heart has reached its peak, but this time he not only didn't show it, but his expression was gentle, he nodded and said: "It's inconvenient to have children at home, let's go over there and talk about it."

Xie Nanshan looked at the direction of his finger and did not refuse.

Gu Mingdong was in front, and Xie Nanshan was in the back. The two of them walked towards the secluded back mountain with a strange tacit understanding without saying a word.
