Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Time will not stop for any happiness or troubles and sorrows. Shanghe Village, located under the mountains, is like a bright pearl, exuding a faint light.

With Professor Hong as an endorsement, it is more convenient for Gu Mingdong to transform grain, which brings bumper harvests year after year to the production team of Shanghe Village.

Even though supplies are still in short supply in this era, all towns and villages know that Shanghe Village has good Fengshui. When the same seeds reach their production team, the output can always be higher than that of Xiahe Village next door.

These changes have been subtle and accumulated over the years, bringing earth-shaking changes to the small mountain village.

With a bumper harvest year after year, even the family with the least labor in the production team can save a lot of food with careful planning.

After eating well and sleeping well, the members of the production team of Shanghe Village are much more energetic than others when they go out, and they are even more willing to work hard.

In the next few years, Uncle Gu worked diligently in front of the team leader, and finally nothing like Liu Dazhu and Qian Zhiyi happened. The production team of Shanghe Village successfully won the advanced collective honor for several consecutive years.

The big red certificate hangs high, washing away the previous "stigma" of Shanghe Village in one fell swoop.

Like Shanghe Village, the old Gu family has undergone tremendous changes.

The biggest change is the addition of a baby to the family. Gu Mingnan and Qian Xiaoru are a young couple who have a good relationship. They got married a year ago, and there is good news after the year.

This made Gu Mingnan very happy, and when he saw people, he had to talk about his upcoming fatherhood, which annoyed Gu Mingxi so much.

Now, in the blink of an eye, Gu Mingnan, who was stupefied back then, has become the father of two children, a son and a daughter, which just happened to be a good couple.

The eldest is a son, who is four years old this year, and the second is a daughter, who just turned one year this year.

Not long after Gu Mingnan got married, Sun Shumei finally married Xie Nanshan. The relationship between the couple was good after marriage, and there was always endless talk.

Although Gu Xiuxiu was still dissatisfied with Xie Nanshan, a big man who was always doing nothing, but after a long time, she became satisfied with this son-in-law.

When Sun Shumei gave birth to a daughter who weighed eight catties, when Gu Mingdong went to give the gift, Gu Xiuxiu held his hand and said, "Your cousin is right. Although Nanshan doesn't have a serious job, she treats her really well." good."

"Your cousin gave birth to a daughter, and he is also very happy. When I'm not around, he's always busy. He didn't let your cousin stand in the water during the confinement period."

Gu Mingdong smiled without saying a word, he only felt in his heart that in the blink of an eye, there were many little radish heads in the house.

Especially during the summer vacation, whether it is the two sons of Sun Qiang's family or the fat daughter of Xie Nanshan's family, they all like to run to the countryside, and they will stay at the old Gu's house.

However, these children still like to play around Gu Mingdong, which makes him very headache, and secretly wonders if his cold face has failed?

Gu Mingdong looked in the mirror, and always felt that his appearance seemed to have really changed, softened and not as sharp as before.

Sure enough, the days of peace have been too long.

Before he could heave a sigh of relief, there was another group of children chattering outside. The leader was Gu Liangxing who had just finished the senior high school entrance examination and was about to start high school.

As he got older, Gu Liangxing still loves to play and make trouble, and now he has become the king of kids.

Gu Mingdong saw that he was sweating profusely since he was a child: "Where did you go to play on such a hot day?"

Gu Liangxing grinned, he liked to run outside all day, his skin was tanned, and he showed his big white teeth when he smiled.

"Dad, we went to watch them catch fish, but we definitely didn't go into the water." Gu Liangxing explained, "I'm watching these small ones, and I'm only watching them from the shore."

Gu Mingdong took another look and found that not only his own children were there, but those from Xie's family, Sun's family, and even the grandchildren of Uncle Gu's family were there. His children, but they don't come here often, the dark room can hardly stand up.

"Uncle Dong."

"Uncle."

"Uncle Adong."

Hearing the children's yells, Gu Mingdong yelled "Wait, wait" and went into the kitchen and brought out two big watermelons. Each watermelon can weigh more than ten catties, and it can hold a child in his arms.

"Do you want to eat watermelon?"

Needless to say, a group of children nodded quickly. The youngest among them was the daughter of Xie Nanshan's family. She was only three years old, but I don't know if her father's northerner genes were dominant. She was taller than her cousin.

Xie Nanshan and Sun Shumei originally wanted to name the child Xie Xie, but because of this name, Gu Xiuxiu almost tore them apart.

In the end, the child's first name was Xie Yunran, and his nickname was still Xie Xie.

Little Xie Xie was born as a chubby little boy weighing eight catties. He has eaten well since childhood, has good nutrition, and good genes. He is very stocky and taller than children of the same age.

Nodding vigorously at this moment, the palm flesh on his face was trembling, as soft as a sourdough bun, Gu Mingdong wanted to squeeze it every time he saw it.

"Uncle, you have to eat what you want. The watermelon at Uncle's house is very delicious, much better than the ones my dad bought."

"Eat more if you like it, watermelon is enough." Gu Mingdong smiled, and with a single click, he divided the watermelon.

Over the past few years, the control has gradually become looser, and everyone in the production team secretly grows some food for themselves. As long as they don't sell it openly, nothing happens.

The children of the old Gu's family were not polite, hula la took it away, but the few who were born were a little embarrassed.

"Take it quickly, you're welcome." Gu Mingdong said with a smile.

Gu Liangxing greeted: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, we will go out to play after eating."

Those children took a piece each, took a bite, and narrowed their eyes in surprise.

Xie Xie is not a big person, but her belly is not small. The piece of watermelon she picked was bigger than her own face, and while gnawing on it, she said, "I'm right, the watermelon grown by my uncle's family is very sweet. Sweet first."

"My uncle is the best watermelon grower in the world."

That proud little appearance almost raises the little tail.

Gu Liangxing pushed the younger brother beside him, and said with a smirk, "Ah Chen, your position as the number one flatterer next to your father is no longer guaranteed."

"Boring." Gu Liangchen rolled his eyes at him.

Compared to his twin brother, he prefers to stay at home and read books, or stay with Gu Mingdong, so his skin is much fairer than that of Gu Liangxing, and he looks more refined.

Everyone in the production team knows that the eldest of the twins in the old Gu family is very good at cracking down on counterfeiting, and no one in the production team who is a few years older than him is no match.

But he didn't know that in a real fight, Gu Liangxing might not be able to beat his younger brother.

"Dad, you eat too." Gu Liangchen glared at his brother, but his body was very honest.

Gu Mingdong took it with a smile, and asked casually, "Why didn't you go to play with me?"

"It's too hot, I'd rather read at home." Gu Liangchen said, taking a piece and eating it himself.

Gu Mingdong shook his head helplessly: "Your grades are good enough, if your brother can have half of yours, I don't have to worry about it."

Gu Liangxing hurriedly said: "Dad, although my grades are mediocre, I performed well, so I am also admitted to high school."

"You are quite proud at the end of the crane." Gu Mingdong laughed.

"The tail of the crane is also a skill." Gu Liangxing said triumphantly.

Gu Liangchen exposed him: "Why didn't you mention that Xiaoyun worked so hard to tutor you before the exam?"

Gu Liangxing smiled and said, "Who made me have a good sister."

After finishing talking, he ate his share, picked up two pieces of watermelon and ran outside: "Dad, I'll send one piece to Xiaoyun."

"Just give someone two yuan to eat, and go to the kitchen and get a big one." The youngest daughter of Gu Mingnan's family is one year old, and Gu Yun and Gu Mingbei will go over to help take care of the child when they are free, so that Qian Xiaoru will not be too busy alone .

Gu Liangxing went into the kitchen again.

The two big watermelons were eaten by a group of children, and there was no redness left on the watermelon skin.

Xie Xie has a big eye and a small belly. After eating one piece, I want to eat another piece. After taking two bites, I started to burp.

She patted her stomach and said, "Hey, why are you so disappointing? I can only eat one piece of such a sweet and delicious watermelon."

Gu Mingdong was amused by her, and knelt down and touched the little girl's head: "If you can't eat it, don't eat it. There is still at home. Cut it up when you want to eat it."

Xie Xie licked the corner of his mouth: "But I want to eat now."

"Uncle Adong, when do you think I will grow up to the point where I can eat three large pieces of watermelon in one sitting?"

That's a really grand wish.

Gu Mingdong said with a smile: "If you want to grow up quickly, then you can't be picky eaters in the future. Children who are picky eaters will not grow up."

Xie Xie suddenly became entangled. She likes to eat meat, but not vegetables.

After a while, thank you and said: "Uncle Adong, can I live in your house and be your daughter?"

"Why?" Gu Mingdong asked with a smile. He knew that Xie Nanshan loved his daughter the most, and he almost spoiled her to heaven.

Xie Xie continued: "My dad's cooking is too bad, hey, he delayed my growing up."

Because Sun Shumei has to go to work, Xie Nanshan spends a lot of time at home, so he cooks in their family. As a man who has been single for almost 30 years, Xie Nanshan's cooking can only be said to be edible.

Gu Mingdong thought it was very fun to tease children, so he continued: "Then you will be my daughter, what will your father do?"

Xie Xie immediately said: "Let's have another one. My grandmother said that my parents will give me a little brother. The little brother will definitely not be picky eaters. Let him eat the food made by my father. I will come here to eat the food made by my uncle. "

Gu Mingdong couldn't help laughing out loud.

Gu Liangchen listened to it from the side, and thanked him once more, secretly thinking that this little cousin is really fun.

At this moment, Xie Nanshan's voice came from outside: "Girl, you don't want Dad anymore."

Xiao Xie's complexion changed, the flesh on his face trembled, and he quickly hid behind Gu Mingdong: "Dad can't see me."

Xie Nanshan strode into the door, fished her out, hugged her daughter and kissed, and said sadly while kissing: "I worked so hard, I dragged my daughter up with shit and urine, and ate other people's food." I don’t want to kiss my father after a meal at home, why am I so pitiful, my father will die of grief.”

Xie Xie was so distressed that he wiped his face, peeped at his father, and said helplessly, "Dad, don't worry, I will go back to see you when I am full and grown up."

"It's really my good daughter." Xie Nanshan pricked his beard on purpose, causing the little girl to scream.

Gu Mingdong smiled and watched for a long time before reaching out to save the little girl who was about to be tossed and cried by her father: "Go and play, I will talk to your father."

Xie Xie covered his face, and said before going out: "Uncle A Dong, if my father bullies you, tell me, I will go home and tell my mother."

The children came and went with a whoosh, and then they were gone in a while.

Gu Liangchen didn't follow him, he quickly cleared the table and brought Xie Nanshan a bowl of herbal tea.

Xie Nanshan didn't drink tea, and looked at Gu Mingdong quietly: "Some people took my daughter away without knowing it."

Gu Mingdong sneered and said: "The main reason is that your cooking is too unpalatable, thank you for losing weight."

Xie Nanshan refused to admit this: "Where is she thin? My daughter is heavier than several brothers, and every meal is eaten clean."

Gu Mingdong rolled his eyes: "Are you raising your daughter like a pig?"

"Hey, it's better to be a pig than a cabbage." Xie Nanshan said with emotion, "When I think that she will find someone to marry in another 20 years, I feel very uncomfortable as a father."

"You said my daughter is so cute, what if she is bullied?"

Gu Mingdong really couldn't stand this silly father: "It's almost done."

Xie Nanshan smiled, and finally accepted his daughter's slave appearance: "I don't want to talk about it, can't it be okay, let's talk about something serious."

He took a look at Gu Mingdong: "Where did you get the news, you are better informed than me?"

As soon as Gu Mingdong heard it, he knew that what he was asked to inquire about was reasonable: "Do you have a letter?"

Xie Nanshan nodded: "Back in August, the higher-ups sent a message at the education symposium, saying that they would no longer engage in public recommendation, and would directly recruit students from high schools."

"However, more than a month has passed now, and the documents for the resumption of the college entrance examination have not been released. I am afraid that the regulations are still being discussed."

Xie Nanshan is more politically sensitive than anyone else. Last year, he felt the loosening of policies.

In the past few years, because of getting married and having children, Xie Nanshan was also afraid in his heart that the black market business would be unstable. In case something happened that would affect his wife and children, he deliberately kept some of them.

Especially after having a daughter, Xie Nanshan devoted all his attention to taking care of her daughter, but pushed all the business out.

His decision was correct, the madness before the darkness, during that time he was terrified from the bottom of his heart.

Fortunately, there is light after darkness. Although the higher-ups have not said that they will let go of free trading, in fact, the free market has quietly begun to develop.

Xie Nanshan seized this opportunity, and made a lot of things in Xiyuan Town, and even developed to Daishan City.

Because of this, Xie Nanshan's news was exceptionally well-informed, so he was surprised that the resumption of the college entrance examination had not yet been decided, and no one could say for sure, why his brother-in-law insisted on it.

Gu Mingdong didn't answer his question, but only asked: "Have you found all the reference books?"

"I only got three sets, which should be enough." Xie Nanshan explained.

Gu Mingdong nodded: "When everyone is here later, let's talk to them."

Xie Nanshan hesitated: "Say it now, isn't it too early? If the college entrance examination is not resumed by then, wouldn't that make them happy for nothing?"

Gu Mingdong said: "The boss has already spoken, and he will definitely recover."

"You have also seen that the people recommended by workers, peasants and soldiers are uneven. These years, they are said to be recommendations, but in fact many of them have become gold-plated. It is imperative to resume the college entrance examination."

Xie Nanshan also agreed very much: "Alright then, I will listen to you."

After finishing speaking, he said: "Hey, with your brother-in-law giving advice, I feel at ease, and I can sleep very well at night."

The two talked for a while, Xie Nanshan couldn't sit still, got up and said: "I'll go see what my daughter is doing, she is still young, I don't know if I will be bullied if I run."

Gu Mingdong expressed that he did not want to talk to this daughter slave.

In the evening, Gu Simei, the chef, Qian Xiaoru and Gu Yun helped, and the three of them had already prepared the meal. People from work came back one after another, and the room became extremely lively.

A few years later, Gu Mingxi has grown from a budding little girl to a bright and charming beauty.

As she got older, everyone from Gu Xiuxiu to Third Aunt Gu wanted to help as a matchmaker, but she pushed them all away. They just refused to get married, and there was a lot of gossip in the production team for a while.

Gu Mingxi didn't care about it, anyway, she just didn't want to find someone to marry casually, and more importantly, her family also supported it.

Gu Mingbei has also grown up. She was introverted and not talkative when she was a child, but she got better when she grew up. She looks gentle and generous. Although her appearance is not as bright as Gu Mingxi's, she is also pretty and pleasant.

In the past, he could still use studying as an excuse, but this year Gu Mingbei graduated from high school, and Gu Xiuxiu and the others became anxious.

However, Gu Mingbei was not in a hurry to find a partner, she wanted to take a job as a worker just like her second brother and third sister, so as to earn money for the family.

Gu Mingdong stopped her, and only said to wait.

Gu Mingbei felt strange in his heart, and didn't know what to wait for, but she was used to being obedient, and when Gu Mingdong said to wait, she really didn't look for a job, and just waited at home.

Because the two younger sisters have never been married, and Gu Mingxi is 25 years old, the production team has a lot of gossip, and they all think that the old Gu family can't do without a mother. Gu Mingdong usually looks good, but he just made his younger sister an old girl.

Even Gu Xiuxiu came to persuade her many times, but a few nephews and nieces were so determined that they would not listen to anything.

Gu Mingnan and Qian Xiaoru haven't changed much, after having two children, they are still so sticky.

The eldest of their family is called Gu Liangyang. When they were born, Gu Mingnan said they would name them Gu Liangri. When the time came to form a sun, moon and stars, they were stopped by Gu Mingdong and Qian Xiaoru.

Now he is naughty, always likes to quarrel with Xie Xie, and Gu Liangyang, who is pressed and beaten by his cousin who is one year younger all day long, does not know that because of the insistence of his mother and uncle, he has avoided an embarrassing name.

The second child is a daughter named Gu Liangyue, who fulfilled Gu Mingnan's dream of sun, moon and stars in his heart.

After Qian Xiaoru got off work, she knew that her husband and daughter were here, so she simply came back with her.

With so many people, there is obviously no room for one table.

Old Gu's family had already set up a big round table, but even so, there was no room for one table.

As a last resort, we can only divide the tables, one for adults and one for children.

A table full of good food, thank you for watching, she didn't need her mother to feed her, she went to the children's table with a small bowl and spoon, and she ate like a dragon, absolutely no slower than others.

Qian Xiaoru was still holding her second child, Gu Liangyue, and couldn't help but envy when she saw it: "Sister Shumei, how did you raise your child? You eat so well and your clothes are clean."

Comparing with the one at home, the bastard eats it fast, but the rice grains keep falling on the table, and he doesn't waste it. He just picks up all the rice grains, and finally pulls them in with his mouth open.

It's too embarrassing, Qian Xiaoru thought inwardly.

Sun Shumei said with a smile: "This kid loves to eat since he was a child, and he still ate bad food when he was one year old. His father screamed when he moved slowly. This is all out of practice."

Qian Xiaoru looked at the daughter in her arms, and felt that the eldest was hopeless, and the second could be cultivated.

Gu Mingnan finished his meal in two bites, and reached out to take the child over: "I'll feed Xiaoyue, you eat first."

Qian Xiaoru responded, bowed her head and began to eat.

The movements of the two people are very natural, which shows that they often do this in normal times.

Gu Mingxi on the opposite side saw it, and said with a smile: "The second child has given birth, so he finally looks like a father."

Gu Mingnan was feeding the child egg custard, when he heard this, he said: "That must be done, these are all my own cubs."

Qian Xiaoru patted him unbearably, telling him to restrain himself.

Gu Mingbei suppressed a smile, and said, "I also think it's good for a man to take care of children. The second brother is really amazing."

From the bottom of my heart, I was thinking about going out to be a guest during the Chinese New Year. The third aunt saw it and talked about how to let a man take care of the child. If they are too careless, the child will get sick.

The men in the Shanghe Village production team usually don't have children. She has seen too many scenes where the women are busy and the men are sitting there cracking sunflower seeds.

It's like giving birth and raising children, it is stipulated that women should do the work. They are only responsible for working in the fields, and leave the rest alone.

But their family is different.

Gu Simei still remembers that when Gu Liangyang was born, the second sister-in-law was busy like this, and everyone was used to it.

At that time, the mother-in-law was still there, and she had no problem with it. She only taught the sister-in-law how to take care of the children. She never thought of letting the son-in-law come, and even praised the second brother for helping him wash diapers.

But the eldest brother turned cold, and directly picked up the second brother and asked him: "Did you break your hand or are you blind, can't you see that your wife is busy, go and help."

The second brother was dumbfounded at the time: "Brother, I don't know how to do it."

"If you don't know it, just teach me." The eldest brother said at the time.

Later...the second brother learned it later.

Gu Simei held her chin and looked at the second brother's proficiency. She thought it was good. She looked at her eldest brother again. Sure enough, their eldest brother was the best in the world.

Sun Shumei also felt good looking at it, and because Gu Mingnan set an example, Xie Nanshan followed suit.

Hmph, don't think she doesn't know, her husband has a lot of sweet talk and is actually a bit machismo, but he really admires the big cousin in his heart, his words are more effective than hers.

"Xiaoxi Xiaobei, you all look at it. In the future, when you get married, you will have to find someone like the second child."

Upon hearing this, Gu Mingnan patted his chest and said, "Did you hear me, your second brother, I am an excellent role model."

The two sisters looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Qian Xiaoru agreed, "Yes, yes, you are the best."

After finishing speaking, he sandwiched a croquette: "Do you want to have another one?"

Gu Laoer opened his mouth and swallowed, while comforting his daughter: "You can't eat this deep-fried one yet, so dad will cook meat soup for you tomorrow, okay?"

A meal was lively and lively.

When he finally finished eating, Gu Mingdong said, "I have something to tell you."

Six pairs of eyes looked at him in unison.
