Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Before Gu Sanmei received the admission notice, the admission notices sent to Shanghe Village arrived one after another. Because of the blessing of the whole set of "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series", Shanghe Village has the largest number of admissions in the entire Daishan City.

The other production teams flocked to take the exam, and it would be nice to have one or two in the end.

But Shanghe Village is different. After Gu Wei received the first admission notice, the letters were sent one after another as if they had been negotiated.

Li Mingming, Xu Zhenzhen, Gu Fang, Qian Xiaoru...

As time passed, the Gu family sisters, who were only slightly worse than Li Mingming, did not receive the admission notice when they were usually doing the questions.

At the end of the year, the educated youths who had received the notices had already issued their certificates and set off, and now the educated youth centers have several vacant beds.

The two of Gu Sanmei didn't say anything, but they were so anxious that they could only clean up the house desperately every day, even scrubbing the walls three times to pass the time.

Seeing that they were worried about eating and sleeping, Gu Mingdong quickly sent a telegram to Beijing to inquire about the situation.

Who knew that there was no news from Professor Hong, but the admission notices of the two sisters arrived soon after.

It happened to be the third day of the Lunar New Year when the postman delivered the letter. The brothers and sisters of the Gu family were sitting at the door eating melon seeds.

At the beginning, she was full of confidence in herself. She felt that even Gu Fang and Gu Wei had passed the exam. Even though they were both majors, she wouldn't fail the exam.

Who knew that if you waited and waited, you wouldn't come. Gu Sanmei couldn't help but suspect that she didn't write her name correctly, or read the questions wrongly during the exam.

Gu Mingdong smiled and comforted: "Don't worry so much, Professor Hong will definitely have a letter in two days."

Gu Sanmei sighed: "I'm just upset."

At this moment, the sound of bicycle bells came from outside the courtyard, jingling and jingling, which made people happy.

Gu Sanmei stood up abruptly, and scattered all the melon seeds on the ground: "It's the postman."

Gu Simei also ran out, and the postman was about to knock on the door when she met Cheng Liang's eyes.

Being stared at by two good-looking girls, the postman blushed, and then remembered his mission: "Gu Mingxi, Gu Mingbei, your admission notices."

Gu Sanmei couldn't care less about other things. After receiving the admission notice, she took it apart and read it. The smile on her face couldn't be stopped. Gu Simei next to her was even more relieved. The two sisters hugged each other and cried. laugh.

"The third and fourth aunts have passed the exam!" Gu Liangxing shouted.

Gu Liangchen had already brought out the candy and stuffed a large handful for the postman.

The postman glanced at it, and found that it was still a big white rabbit. He said with a smile, "During this time, I have received a lot of sugar just to deliver the acceptance letter to your production team. I don't need to buy it for the New Year at home."

Gu Sanmei smiled wryly for a while, and finally regained her composure. She wiped away her tears and handed over the admission notice: "Brother, I passed the exam."

"Brother, I also passed the exam." Gu Simei also sniffed and laughed.

Gu Mingdong solemnly accepted their admission notices. The two sisters were both liberal arts. Because their grades were similar, they also chose the same school when they applied for the exam, but the subjects were different.

"King University Admission Notice"

Compared with the gaudy admission notices of later generations, this thin, even rudimentary piece of paper can change a person's life.

Gu Mingdong smiled, and carefully put away the notice: "I know, my sister must be the best."

Gu Sanmei wiped the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help but burst into a big smile.

"Go and show Mr. Zheng, he will be happy for you." Gu Mingdong smiled.

Gu Sanmei nodded, and ran away with Gu Yun.

The news that the two girls from Lao Gu's family were admitted to Peking University together quickly spread among the production team.

That's Beijing University. Although the production team has received a lot of notices during this period, in fact, few of them actually passed the undergraduate exam.

Li Mingming was the one with the best grades and passed the Tsinghua University.

Gu Wei was admitted to Shanghai Medical University, Gu Fang and Qian Xiaoru were both admitted to Daishan Normal College, and the rest were basically technical secondary schools.

It's just that the production team has limited knowledge of universities. They see no difference between undergraduate, junior college, and technical secondary school. They even think that anyone who receives an admission letter is admitted to a university.

Even so, the members know that Peking University is one of the top schools in China, which is a great place.

For a while, the members of the commune stopped complaining that Gu Mingxi was getting old, and they thought it was no wonder that she refused to get married. If she went to Beijing to study in university, she would not be able to settle down in Beijing, and she would come back again.

On the contrary, there were still people who wanted to come to propose marriage, but they didn't say anything, so they gave up the idea first.

If their daughter passed the college entrance examination, it is impossible for their family to agree to a blind date and get married now. Who wouldn't want their daughter to marry a good family?

The old Gu's house was very lively, and there was an endless stream of people who came to the door. Some simply wanted to come to congratulate, and feel happy by the way, and there were also some tricks to inquire about the inside and outside. They wished to take away all the books used by the sisters. .

There were even people who licked their faces and wanted the two sisters to teach their children so that they could get into a good university.

If it's from the front, Gu Mingdong will treat them with tea and snacks.

If it was the latter, Gu Mingdong directly refused: "The time for school to start is too tight, and they will have to go out in a few days. There is really no time."

"Not for a few days, fellow villagers here, you can't hide your secrets." There are also people who are shameless because they are fellow villagers.

No need for Gu Mingdong to speak anymore, the third aunt Gu who came to help quit first, and yelled: "Oh, from the old Liu family, your son hasn't even graduated from elementary school, and he can only write one name when he enters the examination room. Where is it enough, at least ten years of study, I think you'd better send him to elementary school first."

The man was ashamed, turned around and left.

Third Aunt Gu snorted coldly: "This kind of person is shameless, don't talk to her."

Turning around again, she smiled at the sisters of the Gu family: "Xiaoxi and Xiaobei are tired, you go in and rest, I'm enough here."

The two Gu Mingxi sisters looked at each other and laughed.

How could the third aunt be so considerate to them before?

After sending people away, Third Aunt Gu pulled Gu Mingdong aside, and asked hesitantly, "Ah Dong, do you think Ah Yong failed the exam?"

Gu Yong applied for the same school as Qian Xiaoru and the others, but the admission letter has not yet come down, which shows that the possibility of being admitted is not high.

Gu Mingdong only said: "Third Aunt, if Ah Yong is willing, he can take the exam again next year."

After all, his foundation is a bit weak, and if he studies hard for another year, it may still be possible.

Third Aunt Gu sighed: "Hey, it's weird what you said. All the girls in our family are extremely smart, and they passed four exams at once, but my son didn't have the heart to study, so he didn't pass any of the exams."

It's no wonder that the production team is spreading rumors that the cleverness of the old Gu's family is all grown in the melon seeds of the daughter's head.

Gu Mingdong said: "It's not just girls who are smart, but a few years ago, everyone thought that studying was useless. Ayong and the others didn't study hard after entering school. On the contrary, Xiaofang and the others knew that the opportunity to study was rare, so they spent all their time thinking about it." of."

"You're right." Aunt Gu sighed. She didn't think reading was useless before, but it was Uncle Gu who insisted that the old couple spend money so that their grandchildren can go to school.

Gu Mingdong said again: "Third Aunt, now that Xiaoxi is admitted to university, she will definitely not be able to do her job. Originally, she planned to sell it directly, but I wanted to ask my family first to see if your family is willing."

When Third Aunt Gu heard this, her eyes lit up: "Is your family willing?"

She originally thought that if Gu Mingxi didn't go to the recycling bin, the old Gu's family still had Gu Mingdong, so no matter what, the fat would not flow out.

Gu Mingdong smiled and said: "You don't know me yet, if you let me stay in one place all day long, it will definitely kill me."

In particular, the recycle bins are all about trivial business, and Gu Mingdong is not willing to waste this time because he is often arguing endlessly because of a few cents.

Third Aunt Gu's heart moved, she smiled and said, "Then I'll go back and ask your Third Uncle."

"Then you guys should discuss it carefully, and you'd better tell me earlier, so I can make plans earlier." There is no job that cannot be transferred out of the current job.

After receiving the letter, Third Aunt Gu couldn't stay any longer, so she hurried home after finishing her work.

After she said the matter, Gu Sanshu frowned: "Although I am an elder, it's not easy to take advantage of Xiaoxi."

Aunt Gu said: "It's just taking advantage of it. Adong has said good things to consider our own family first. We don't want this job in vain. We can pay as much as we should. Xiaoxi took the money and went outside It’s easier to go to college.”

Gu Sanshu agreed when he heard it, nodded and said: "Give more, you can't treat the child badly."

"That's for sure." Even though Third Aunt Gu was reluctant to part with the money, she knew that the old Gu's family was going to fly out of the Golden Phoenix, so how could they get into a stalemate over a small profit of one or two dollars.

"But you said that the job is for the boss or the second?"

Gu Sanshu was also embarrassed when he heard it, and it is not a good thing to have more sons: "Call them over and ask, since it is a purchase, the money cannot be paid by us two elders."

As soon as Third Aunt Gu heard it, she knew that it was for the old family. After all, how much money does the second family have? After all these years, it was hard to save some, and it was all used to buy medicine for the second daughter-in-law.

Sure enough, when someone was called to ask, the elders were immediately moved, but they just held back and didn't speak.

Gu Weiguo naturally wanted it in his heart, otherwise, when the factory recruited workers, he couldn't force himself to try it.

But when he thought about his family's situation, he also thought that the first two daughters in the family were going to go to college. Compared with his elder brother's family, Gu Yong, who didn't pass the exam, he felt a little superior.

After thinking about it again and again, Gu Weiguo took the initiative to say: "My family can't afford the money, so let's give it to the elder brother."

The eldest daughter-in-law's eyes lit up, and she looked at Gu Bao's family. Since the younger brother refused, Gu Bao's family didn't push it back and forth, but he also has two sons.

Gu Baojia hesitated: "Ah Jun, or Ah Yong?"

From the bottom of his heart, he wanted the eldest son to go. After all, the eldest son was old and had a job so he could go on a blind date.

Unexpectedly, before the words fell, Gu Jun said first: "Dad, let Ah Yong go. Uncle Ah Dong told me that he will run around about joining the army, and he will definitely win a spot."

"Do you have a letter?" Uncle Gu asked in surprise.

Gu Jun scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "I'm not sure yet, but you don't know Uncle Adong yet. If you're not sure, he definitely wouldn't say that."

Third Uncle Gu also smiled a bit, hearing the names of his two sons, one could tell how much he admired him.

On the contrary, Gu Jun's mother was a little worried, and asked: "Joining the army is good, but what if you have to go to the battlefield to fight?"

"Mom, since you want to be a soldier, you should defend your home and country."

Compared with working at the recycle bin, joining the army is naturally more prestigious, so Gu Jun made the choice without hesitation.

All the men in the family nodded in agreement, and the only person who opposed sighed, swallowing his worries.

"Then give it to Ah Yong." Gu Baojia looked at his youngest son.

As a result, Gu Yong hesitated and said, "Dad, I want to review and take the exam again."

"What?" Gu Baojia looked at him in surprise.

Gu Yong plucked up his courage and continued: "Aunt Xiaobei said that my foundation is too poor, but I have improved a lot after reviewing for two months. If I can spend more time reviewing, I might be able to pass the exam."

"I didn't like reading before, but after learning for the past two months, I feel that studying is pretty good. Dad, can you let me take the test again?"

The atmosphere of study is contagious. Gu Yong used to study with Gu Jun, but he didn't know what to do when he was in school, and he didn't think reading was useful.

But during this period of time with Gu Mingxi and the others, seeing that they were smarter than him, had a better foundation than him, and were so hardworking, Gu Yong was also motivated.

Especially when there were so many people studying together, everyone else passed the exam and got the admission notice, but he was the only one who was not admitted. No matter how meek his temper was, Gu Yong was aroused a little bit.

Gu Baojia looked at his younger son with surprise in his eyes: "Have you thought about it?"

Gu Yong nodded firmly.

Gu Baojia laughed: "That's fine, I've raised you for so many years, and I can't afford to support you for a few more years."

With his father's affirmation, Gu Yong couldn't help but raised his head and said, "Dad, I will definitely not let you down."

Gu Baojia patted the back of his head and said with a smile, "This is just like my son."

In the past, he always felt that the second child was not as straightforward as the boss, and he was not as gentle as a man, but now it seems that this child is Neixiu.

After discussing this matter, Gu Baojia said: "Let the mother go to the recycle bin, it's easy to shelter from the wind and rain over there, and the mother is also good at dealing with others."

The eldest daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment, thinking that if the two sons didn't go, it must be Gu Bao's house, but she didn't expect him to let herself go.

She felt warm in her heart, and said with a smile: "What am I going to do, you should go."

"I earn more work points than you when I work in the fields. There is no distinction between men and women in jobs in the city. We both get the same salary when we go to work." And he is also reluctant to take it easy, and his wife will be exhausted instead.

Seeing the eldest husband and wife flirtatiously, Third Aunt Gu coughed and rolled her eyes: "Discuss with yourselves, and prepare the money you should pay. If you dare to treat Xiaoxi badly, see if I don't punish you."

So it was settled.

Before leaving, Third Aunt Gu grabbed Gu Weiguo and asked in a low voice, "You haven't brought her back yet?"

As soon as Wang Feng was mentioned, Gu Weiguo's head was as big as a bucket: "Mom, what do you think she is thinking? Xiaofang and Xiaowei are also her own children, and they are good children. Why can't she think about it so much?"

"What good does it do her to ruin her child's future?"

This is what Gu Weiguo can't understand. He is looking forward to his son from the bottom of his heart, but his daughter is also his own flesh and blood, and she can provide for him in the future. It's not that if he goes out to study, he will lose their parents.

Third Aunt Gu sighed, and said in a low voice: "Guo Wei, Wang Feng did something wrong, but she is Xiaofang and Xiaowei's biological mother after all, so it's not a problem for her to stay with her mother's house all the time."

Gu Weiguo said, "I'm going to bring her back. What if she messes up and tore up the admission notices of the two children?"

The more he talked, the more angry he became: "I don't listen to what I say, but every time I scare her with divorce, she can be obedient for a while. Now that I scare her more times, she doesn't take it seriously."

Third Aunt Gu was also in trouble: "That can't always be like this."

Gu Weiguo had a plan in his heart: "Mom, don't worry, even for the sake of the three children, I can't really divorce her."

"This time, let her reflect on herself at home. After Xiaofang and Xiaowei go to study, I will bring her back."

Third Aunt Gu said helplessly: "What kind of crime do you say this is?"

But Gu Weiguo excused Wang Feng: "She is also a miserable person. Back then, the mother-in-law gave birth to three daughters, and she couldn't hold her head up in the village. She was beaten by her father every day. She was beaten so badly. I can hear you."

"Afterwards, she finally gave birth to a son, and life was better. As a result, her father left early, leaving them orphans and widows. If there is no son, I am afraid that they will not even be able to keep the house."

"It's just that I suffered from not having a son when I was a child, but now I can't think about it when I'm married."

Third Aunt Gu glanced at her son and knew that he was afraid that she would target his daughter-in-law, so she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.

The first two sons in the family both married their wives and forgot their mothers.

Seeing that they couldn't really get a divorce, Third Aunt Gu didn't bother to worry about it anymore, she just said: "Just as long as you know it in your heart."

"Go back and be nice to Xiaofang and Xiaowei. They are good girls. When they finish school and start working, just give them a little bit every month. It's enough for the two of you to take care of yourselves. It's not much better than those idle sons."

Gu Weiguo nodded and left without saying a word.

Aunt Gu turned around and entered the door before sighing. Uncle Gu couldn't help persuading after hearing this: "It's been so many years, why can't you think about it?"

"I originally thought that if the second child's family couldn't have a son, they would be able to adopt one. Who would have thought it would become like this."

Uncle Gu snorted coldly: "You must not mention adoptive words, or the two will not please you."

"I'm not stupid, how can I bring it up now." The old man has three sons, but when the incident happened back then, let alone adopting it, it would be nice if the two sisters-in-law could nod when they met.

At this time, Gu Ting came out and said, "Don't worry, baby, I will make money to support my dad in the future, let him live in a good house, eat whatever he wants, and drink whatever he wants, and I will never leave him alone. of."

Aunt Gu was amused. Gu Ting was fair and cute, and she was the one who brought her up. In terms of affection, only her grandson Gu Jun can compare.

She couldn't help but put her arms around her granddaughter and kissed her, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, with our words from Tingting, grandma doesn't have to worry about your dad anymore."

"Then you get married in the future, but you have to go home often, you know?"

Gu Ting nodded seriously: "Uncle Adong said, sons and daughters are the same, so I don't have to marry."

Third Aunt Gu didn't think so far at this time, she just thought it was a child's talk, and said with a smile: "You can recruit a son-in-law at home without getting married."

As he spoke, he stroked his granddaughter's hair: "Then you have to study hard with your aunt and sisters. In the future, when you go to college and find a good job, you will definitely find a good son-in-law who is willing to marry you."

Gu Ting pursed her lips: "Grandma, I will study hard, but I study to serve the country, not to marry a son-in-law."

Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu couldn't help laughing out loud at these words.

Without Wang Feng's troubles, Gu Fang and Gu Wei felt much more at ease at home, and they didn't have to worry about their mother getting sick at any time.

But just in case, the two sisters still put the important admission notice, household registration transfer certificate and food and oil relationship transfer certificate on Gu Mingbei's side.

When going to university these days, in addition to the admission notice, freshmen have to bring all these documents when they register. At that time, the household registration and grain and oil relations will be directly transferred to the school, and the school will provide them.

With Uncle Gu around, it would be very easy for the children of the old Gu family to apply for these two documents.

But for some, it's even harder.

On the day when he received the admission notice, Wang Mazi was so happy that he almost jumped up, and Widow Liu also squeezed out a smile on her bitter face. Who knew that after a closer look, the notice was for Liu Aihua.

Liu Aihua was admitted to a technical secondary school, and Liu Xiaozhu's name fell to Sun Shan.

Widow Liu almost tore up the admission notice on the spot, crying and shouting, "I knew she shouldn't be allowed to participate. What the village said was right. The girls in the family are too smart, so they suppressed the boys."

This is the rumor that all the girls from the old Gu's family passed the exam, but Gu Yong failed the exam.

It is nothing more than a family's luck is limited, if the daughter is too smart, it will make the son stupid.

It's nonsense at first glance, but many people swear by it, Widow Liu is one of them, she believes that Liu Aihua took away the luck of her brother and brother, and that's why Liu Dazhu died tragically, and Liu Xiaozhu didn't pass the exam.

Liu Xiaozhu was also disappointed when he failed the university entrance exam, but he still said: "Mom, I didn't pass the exam because I didn't study well. It has nothing to do with my sister."

"It doesn't matter why, you are so smart but you didn't pass the exam, you were suppressed by her."

Liu Aihua was really cold in her heart. The reason why she was able to take the college entrance examination was purely because Wang Mazi felt that she had a good relationship with Xiaobei and wanted her to take her younger brother there to enjoy himself.

But who knew that she passed the exam, but her younger brother failed.

Looking at the gloomy mother and the uncertain stepfather, the dawn that Liu Aihua saw disappeared again.
