Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

"Please come in." Xie Nanshan took out the key and quickly opened the door.

Gu Mingdong walked in and saw that the yard looked dilapidated from the outside, but even more messy from the inside, with miscellaneous things piled up in the yard, just like Xie Nanshan's old house in Beijing.

Xie Nanshan said with a smile: "The house is a little messy, don't hold it against you."

After searching for a long time, he found a table and two crippled chairs, at least he didn't have to stand and talk.

Gu Mingdong couldn't help but said, "Can't you clean up the house?"

Xie Nanshan said, "You don't understand, so it's safe."

"I can understand Beijing, is it necessary here?" It's really not possible for such a remote dilapidated house.

Xie Nanshan chuckled, "The cunning rabbit has three nests, so each nest has to be tidied up."

After speaking, I didn't know what I thought of, and I laughed happily again, and said: "When I marry a wife in the future, I can arrange whatever the wife likes. That will save trouble, anyway, I won't pick."

Gu Mingdong saw that he was rambling and didn't mention the business, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he asked straightforwardly: "What's the matter?"

"Before you asked me to inquire about the Zhao family, I suddenly remembered something."

Xie Nanshan recalled: "I have no impression of the Zhao family. I always thought that the Xie family had nothing to do with them, but after thinking about it for the past few days, I suddenly thought of something."

"When I was very young, there was a guest at my house. I was locked in the house at that time, and I only heard a lot of noise outside. It seems that the surname of the family is Qian."

Xie Nanshan frowned, he really wanted to recall the details, but the more he wanted to recall, the more he couldn't remember, only a few scattered words.

"It's been too long, I can't remember clearly." Xie Nanshan sighed, "But I remember that after they left, my dad was very angry. He said that the surnamed Gu will be punished."

After finishing speaking, he paused: "I'm not talking about you."

Gu Mingdong naturally knew that he was not talking about himself. The Gu mentioned by the Xie family must be the Gu in Beijing.

After hearing this, Gu Mingdong sighed: "You said it, it's the same as if you didn't say it."

Xie Nanshan grinned and said: "How much can it prove that our family is unlucky, and it has something to do with the surname Qian?"

"It's due to their bad luck that their surname is Qian, which caused my mother to leave early, and how much precious youth I was wasted."

Gu Mingdong looked at him and asked again: "You dragged me to this broken yard just to remember the past?"

He didn't think that Xie Nanshan dragged him here on purpose just to bring up these old things in the broken yard.

Xie Nanshan smiled: "Come in with me."

After speaking, he took him into the house, and soon, he turned over a floor tile under the Eight Immortals' Table. The floor tile was hollowed out, and a tin box was placed. It can be seen that the mechanism is ingenious, and Gu Mingdong didn't notice it at the first time.

Before the box was opened, Gu Mingdong felt something.

Xie Nanshan opened the box with a smile, and there was a brocade box inside. Inside the brocade box was a thumb-sized Buddha bone, colorful colored glaze, which looked dazzling.

Gu Mingdong's eyes moved, he didn't expect to find something he couldn't find in Xie's old house, but he found it here.

Xie Nanshan handed the box to him: "I think you should want this."

Gu Mingdong raised his head to meet his eyes, Xie Nanshan's eyes were full of sincerity, but also somewhat tentative.

He narrowed his eyes slightly: "You don't get paid for nothing."

Xie Nanshan laughed, and put the box directly in his palm: "You are my savior. Without you, the roots of my old Xie family are broken. It is useless for me to keep this thing. I might as well give it to you."

"Actually, I have wanted to give this thing away for a long time. To be honest, I always feel that this thing is a disaster in my heart, but my ancestors made a rule that everything can be thrown away, but this cannot be thrown away."

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows: "I remember someone once said that the relics of the Xie family have long since disappeared."

Xie Nanshan was not ashamed when someone exposed him, but instead said: "Everything else has disappeared, only this one is left."

"The fruit only remains, and the significance is extraordinary."

Xie Nanshan signaled him to accept it: "That's why it has to be delivered to the right person."

With a lot of rhetoric, he would turn black into white.

Gu Mingdong pinched the brocade box, and the supernatural power could not wait to urge it, if it wasn't for the master's control, it would have flown out and pounced on the relic directly.

All the relics were delivered to him, so Gu Mingdong naturally wouldn't let them go: "Then I owe you another favor?"

"How can this be considered a favor." Xie Nanshan said with a smile.

"We are friends, life and death acquaintances, finding a doctor and so on, I am too embarrassed to say it."

But Gu Mingdong glanced at him: "Since we are friends, we can speak directly without going around in circles."

"Refreshing." Xie Nanshan was very happy to finally confirm his status as a friend.

"Then I'll just say it straight, Comrade A Dong, I want to ask you to help me be a matchmaker."

Gu Mingdong was already prepared and was waiting for him to ask a big question. Who knew that Xie Nanshan would be dumbfounded when he opened his mouth.

"What? I didn't catch it."

Xie Nanshan's old cucumber was painted with green paint, and he looked embarrassed: "Be a matchmaker."

Gu Mingdong looked at him wrongly, and returned the brocade box directly: "Although this thing is good, I have no intention of selling my sister."

"How old is my sister, and how old are you? You are ashamed to say this."

"No, no, it's not your sister." Xie Nanshan said hastily.

When Gu Mingdong heard this, his anger subsided a bit. He thought that Xie Nanshan came from home twice, and he directly fell in love with Gu Mingxi. After all, his younger sister is in the prime of life, and she is well-known as a beauty in all directions.

As for Gu Mingbei, Gu Mingdong hadn't thought about it, after all, he was still a child who had just graduated from elementary school. If Xie Nanshan dared to say something, Gu Mingdong could directly knock his brains out.

"It's not my sister, who is it?" Gu Mingdong looked at him strangely, "I'm a man, it's more suitable for you to find someone else as a matchmaker."

Xie Nanshan rubbed his nose: "The main reason is that other than you, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it as a matchmaker."

Facing Gu Mingdong's gaze: "Actually, she's also your sister."

Gu Mingdong changed his mind and thought of a person.

Xie Nanshan chuckled: "Isn't that cousin also a younger sister, Comrade Adong, you can do me this favor. If you come forward, my future mother-in-law will definitely not dislike me."

Gu Mingdong was a little surprised in his heart: "You and Shumei? How did you two know each other?"

Xie Nanshan was still a little embarrassed: "Well, I just met by chance."

"Shumei is also much younger than you, right?"

"Actually, I don't look so old. I'm only 27, six years older than Shumei. I'm still a young man."

Usually sloppy, but now he calls himself a young man.

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows and looked at him with his arms crossed: "I said Lao Xie, and you also said that Shumei is also my sister. I don't worry if you don't tell the truth. It's not clear. How can I match you?" , tell me honestly how did you two know each other and how did you get together?"

He didn't see that these two people were connected before, but Xie Nanshan's tone was quite tight.

At the time of the new year, Sun Shumei was still complaining about the tight rush at home, Gu Xiuxiu almost pressured her to go on a blind date, and she never heard her mention Xie Nanshan's name.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Xie Nanshan had no choice but to tell the story of the two people's acquaintance.

This matter has to be talked about years ago. Xie Nanshan almost died in the house. He was a little disheartened for a while. He always felt that he probably would not live to be old, and he might die quietly someday.

Xie Nanshan didn't want to wrong himself. At the end of the year, when other people bought New Year's goods, he also bought New Year's goods. There were only a lot of things, and he bought whatever was rare. Anyway, he didn't know who was cheaper if he kept the money.

Anyway, he has money in his pocket, and connections, and serves him with delicious food and drink.

That's when he met Sun Shumei.

At that time, Sun Shumei was wearing a red woolen scarf and two braids, and she was riding a Da Yong Yong to make New Year's goods.

She speaks crisply, shopping and paying are booming, and she has a different kind of vitality in her whole body.

In Xie Nanshan's eyes, it was a landscape.

At the first glance, Xie Nanshan only thought it looked good, and he promised that he never thought of anything else.

Unexpectedly, on the way home, the fate of the two came again. Sun Shumei's big bag was permanently broken, and the chain couldn't be put on when it fell off. Her cheeks were flushed and the tip of her nose was sweating from anxiety.

Xie Nanshan didn't intend to take care of it at first, but after looking around, he couldn't bear it, so he took the initiative to walk over: "Comrade, do you want to help?"

What greeted him was a pair of eyes full of vigor and vitality, but full of vigilance at the same time.

"No, I'll just push it back." Sun Shumei thanked her and planned to push her away.

"My house is right in front, so it's easy to repair the car." Xie Nanshan didn't know what's wrong, he wasn't such an enthusiastic person in the first place.

Who knew that when he yelled like this, Sun Shumei became even more nervous, glaring at him like a frightened little rabbit: "Say no, don't follow me, I'll call someone when you come here again."

Xie Nanshan didn't know, because when the old Gu's sisters were almost kidnapped and sold, as a girl, Sun Shumei was told by the head of the family not to go with strangers.

Today, if the eldest nephew in the family hadn't had a fever, her mother and sister-in-law couldn't leave, and her father and elder brother went to pull coal again, Sun Shumei wouldn't come here alone to grab new year's goods.

It's not easy to buy new year's goods these days, many rare ones are hard to buy, and they are all robbed when they arrive, so Sun Shumei volunteered.

Now a big strange man came to talk to her and wanted her to follow her to the house. In Sun Shumei's eyes, that would be tantamount to a human trafficker.

Especially during that time, Xie Nanshan was disheartened, his hair was not tossed properly, his beard was not shaved, and the morning rice grains were still sticking to his clothes, he looked like a rascal.

Seeing that there was no one on the road, Sun Shumei sounded the alarm in her heart, and pushed the car to leave quickly.

As a result, I made a mistake in my busy schedule, and the New Year's goods in the car fell to the ground.

Sun Shumei squatted down to pick it up, Xie Nanshan also wanted to help, just bent over, who knew that he bumped into Sun Shumei, but luckily, Sun Shumei beat her up with bacon.

Recalling that time, Xie Nanshan touched his face, and couldn't help saying: "Your cousin is quite strong."

Gu Mingdong laughed when he heard it: "Well, who told you to follow her sloppy and sneaky?"

"It was a coincidence that I didn't follow her." Xie Nanshan defended himself.

It seems, seems, probably, he spared the way a little for the sake of the girl, but he definitely had no bad intentions, and he didn't break the car.

Xie Nanshan firmly believed that although he was doing unruly work, he was very polite to girls.

Gu Mingdong rubbed his chin, and secretly thought that Xie Nanshan usually looks like such a thief, which can be described as cunning, but he never thought that there would be such a "sincere" time.

Thinking about the second child of the Gu family again, could it be that there is a man in his name who is always so tired and crooked when talking about partners?

"Then, that's how you know each other?"

Xie Nanshan touched his nose: "It's impossible..."

"Afterwards, it happened several times. Damn, the two of us are destined to meet each other wherever we go." Xie Nanshan firmly believed that the two of them were really destined.

As for how much this fate is determined by nature and how much is artificial, he will never admit it.

"She doesn't pay much attention to me all the time. She thinks I'm a bad person, so I definitely won't agree. It's not slandering my reputation. Do you think I have to explain clearly?"

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows, as if he saw through but didn't tell the truth.

Xie Nanshan continued: "Later, she secretly went to the black market to buy milk powder, but was almost caught by the red armband. I saved her. Didn't I happen to have milk powder at my place, so she started a business."

Gu Mingdong knew about this. When Gu Xiuxiu's family came back to visit during the Chinese New Year, Zhu Yan also said that Shumei loved her nephew too much, and even went to buy milk powder.

Unexpectedly, there is such a big story behind this milk powder.

Xie Nanshan's words were like telling a story, he just made the story of his stalking into a happy enemy.

Gu Mingdong doubted the authenticity of his words.

Xie Nanshan understood his eyes: "Comrade A Dong, I can still lie to you about this. Last year, I thought that I might not live long, so I didn't dare to tell her."

"It's not thanks to you. I don't have to worry about dying one day in the future. This is how I have the courage."

"According to this logic, then you are our big matchmaker, and you have to help me with this."

Gu Mingdong laughed and said: "You also said, I'm just a cousin, can I still be Shumei's master?"

"No, no, you misunderstood."

Xie Nanshan hurriedly explained: "I like her, and she likes me too. The problem is not with the two of us, but with my future mother-in-law."

"What's wrong with my aunt?" Gu Mingdong asked doubtfully.

He felt that if what Xie Nanshan said was true and Sun Shumei was happy, then he would be crazy.

After all, after Sun Qiang got married, most of Gu Xiuxiu's thoughts were fixed on her daughter, and she wished she could find someone to marry immediately.

Fortunately, Sun Qiang and Zhu Yan had a baby soon, and the birth of the eldest grandson distracted Gu Xiuxiu's attention. In this way, Sun Shumei was so annoyed by her that she fled to Shanghe Village for refuge.

Xie Nanshan let out a long breath: "I don't have a proper job."

"what?"

"I don't have a job, and my household registration is still in Beijing. In fact, I only came to Xiyuan Town with a relationship note. The black market business is not good to put on the table. I am not even as good as an educated youth."

Xie Nanshan explained for a while, and Gu Mingdong finally understood.

Gu Xiuxiu didn't have high requirements for her son-in-law, but she wanted her family background to be clean, her parents easy to get along with, and her height to be able to have a decent job and support her wife and children.

Unfortunately for Xie Nanshan, he missed everything.

The family background of their family is definitely not very innocent, and now they can't tell people that it is not easy to escape the purge.

parents?His parents had died long ago, and he was a widow with no relatives.

As for serious work, it is even more difficult. Xie Nanshan has a lot of contacts and connections, but what he does is black work of buying and selling.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Mingdong felt a little sympathetic to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Nanshan, you have a long way to go."

Xie Nanshan immediately climbed up: "Cousin Adong, we two are close friends, Shumei is also your cousin, so you can't ignore our affairs."

Gu Mingdong frowned: "How can I take care of this matter, can I take care of my elders if I take care of the sky and the earth?"

"Shumei has already said that mother loves you the most. Your big nephew's words are more effective than your son's. You just agreed to help."

"When did I agree, I don't even know if what you said is true or not." Gu Mingdong shook his head, "What if you imagined this all by yourself, trying to trick my cousin away?"

Xie Nanshan was also anxious: "If you don't believe me, go back and ask Shumei, can I lie to you about this?"

"That's not necessarily true." Gu Mingdong said lightly.

After all, the two couldn't talk about it.

Before leaving, Gu Mingdong asked again: "You didn't take advantage of our acquaintance to get close to my cousin, did you?"

Xie Nanshan touched his nose guiltily, and immediately said, "That's definitely not the case, am I that kind of person?"

In fact, he said that Sun Shumei didn't believe it at first, so it didn't come in handy.

Gu Mingdong has already believed most of it in his heart. After all, this kind of thing can't fool people, and it will be exposed after a couple of turns.

But if he didn't ask Sun Shumei what he meant, of course he wouldn't agree directly.

"You wait, I'll ask Shumei later."

Xie Nanshan suddenly complained: "Hey, a full man doesn't know a hungry man, how can you understand my urgency to marry a wife?"

After speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and changed his words again: "No, cousin, you have married a wife before, so you must understand my feelings?"

Gu Mingdong just wanted to give him a fist and let him know why the flowers are so red.

"Don't call me brother, I'm not your brother."

"Then you can call me brother." Xie Nanshan immediately climbed up the pole.

Gu Mingdong chuckled, and Xie Nanshan immediately said, "Of course, we can discuss our own opinions. In my heart, then I must respect you as a lifesaver."

This glib!

As a friend, Gu Mingdong thinks that Xie Nanshan is not bad, at least he is smart, flexible, loyal, and has many connections.

As a partner, Xie Nanshan looked glib, but he was actually quite reliable, at least he handled things neatly.

But as a husband, Gu Mingdong didn't know if this guy was suitable.

Anyway, this guy can speak well, but his mouth is too sharp, and he knows that he will deceive the little girl at a glance.

Gu Mingdong was also worried that Sun Shumei would not know people clearly and would be deceived by others.

He didn't wait, and went to the biscuit factory when he returned to Xiyuan Town, and found Sun Shumei.

As soon as Sun Shumei saw him, she blushed before she could speak.

Gu Mingdong's heart skipped a beat, and he lamented that the cabbages his aunt planted so hard might have been eaten.

Sure enough, Sun Shumei pulled her braids and asked with a blushing face, "cousin, did he go to you?"

"Who is looking for me?" Gu Mingdong asked intentionally.

Sun Shumei glared at him: "Brother Adong, you ask the question knowingly."

Gu Mingdong sighed helplessly, thinking of the glass bead back then, he secretly thought that the two of them had a tacit understanding, and a coincidence gave him a relic, giving him the possibility of advanced abilities.

The other took out the family's treasured relics and wanted him to be a great matchmaker.

"Shumei, are you really willing?" Gu Mingdong still asked.

Sun Shumei has never had a date. It's not because she can't find a sleeper and lost the relic. On the contrary, she has many choices in her life.

Sun Shumei, who started working in the biscuit factory, is a favorite in the town. She looks good, and now the family is not burdened. There are many people who want to date her through relationships.

However, Sun Shumei didn't like any of them, she chose left and right, which made Gu Xiuxiu very anxious, but in the end she fell in love with Xie Nanshan.

Sun Shumei smiled, but nodded generously and admitted: "I think he's pretty good."

"Cousin, in fact, there are people in the biscuit factory who want to date me. I have tried it too, but those people are only thinking about the date and have children. In the future, the children will also come to the biscuit factory."

"I'm not saying it's bad, but I always feel that they don't have any great ambitions."

"Could it be possible that a person's life is just to get married and have a few children, and then stuff the children into the factory to replace him, and repeat such days from generation to generation?"

Gu Mingdong was a little surprised.

Sun Shumei said again: "My mother said that I think too much, that whoever came here is not like this, but I just don't like it."

"Nanshan is different. Although he doesn't have a fixed job, he doesn't have a stable source of income, and his family's financial situation is a bit problematic, but I don't mind. I like his flexible mind, and he can find different things everywhere. idea."

Gu Mingdong asked: "Do you know the situation of their family?"

Sun Shumei nodded: "he told me all about it, I know, and I don't care."

At first, Sun Shumei hesitated when she heard that there was a problem with the composition of Xie Nanshan's family, but she was soon relieved.

What she likes is Xie Nanshan, not Xie Nanshan's family.

Sun Shumei added: "I know that Nanshan has many advantages, such as being humorous, extremely smart, and especially good at dealing with things. I also know that he has many shortcomings, such as not being clean, being extravagant, and talking too much nonsense, but I think that although he is thoughtful Huoluo looks uncertain, but he is actually a very down-to-earth person, but I just like him like this.”

These words were exaggerated, and Gu Mingdong wondered if they knew the same person.

Gu Mingdong can only agree with the two who don't like cleanliness and talk too much nonsense.

"Cousin, I'm not perfect either. I can't wait until I'm old and find someone perfect who can't exist."

After listening, Gu Mingdong felt that Sun Shumei had a more thorough understanding of marriage and love than him.

After all, he was the only one who came to see Xie Nanshan, so he definitely wasn't expected to be a good husband.

Gu Mingdong pondered for a while, and seeing Sun Shumei's swearing look, he sighed and said, "If you think about it, I can help with this matter, but I'm afraid it will be sad for my aunt."

When Sun Shumei heard this, she smiled and hugged his arm coquettishly: "Isn't there still cousin you? My mother and your aunt will definitely agree in the end."

What else could Gu Mingdong do, he could only agree to the two of them.

After thinking about it carefully, Gu Mingdong still felt that it would not be enough to just come to the door by himself. Unfortunately, Uncle Gu's family is now in a state of desperation, and there must be no time to take care of Sun Shumei's marriage.

Before Gu Mingdong could come up with a good idea, Xie Nanshan and Sun Shumei didn't hide it, and made a big mess.
