Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Little Xie Xie, who was only three years old, was well-raised, chubby, and had a pink and tender face, which made anyone want to kiss him.

After being put in front of Gu Mingdong by his father, Xie Xie immediately reached out to hug the uncle, and shouted: "Uncle, I miss you, do you miss me?"

Gu Mingdong also liked this little niece who loves to laugh and act like a baby very much, he pinched her cheek with a smile: "Uncle misses you too."

Thank you for deftly climbing onto him, leaning on his shoulder, raising your little hand, and whispering to yourself, "Uncle, may I stay with you?"

"You don't want your parents anymore?" Gu Mingdong asked deliberately.

Xie Xie said again: "My father said that they are going to travel far away, so they will hold me here first, and then pick me up when they come back."

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Nanshan, knowing that he must have come up with the idea.

Sure enough, Xie Nanshan said with a smile: "Brother, look, thank you so much for kissing you. Those who don't know probably think this is your daughter. How about it? I will lend you to raise my daughter for a few days."

Sun Shumei pinched her husband and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Cousin, thank you for staying at your house for a few days. We plan to go to Shanghai for at least three days and at most a week."

Xie Xie held his cheek and looked at Gu Mingdong together: "Uncle, just take me in."

Gu Mingdong doesn't mind having an extra child in the family, especially thank you for being so well-behaved, sensible and sweet-mouthed: "Uncle welcomes you anytime, thank you for coming and staying here."

When the little girl heard it, she immediately cheered, hugged his neck and shouted, "It's great, I don't have to eat the bad food made by my father at last."

Seeing the affectionate appearance of the two of them, Xie Nanshan was a little jealous.

After confirming that he can stay, Xie Xie dragged his small suitcase and walked to Gu Yun's room: "I want to live with Sister Xiao Yun."

Sun Shumei quickly followed in to help clean up.

Gu Mingdong glanced at Xie Nanshan: "Why did you suddenly think of going to Shanghai?"

"I have traveled all over Daishan City, and if I run again, it will be like this. Now the fashionable goods are all from Shanghai, so I plan to go and have a look." Xie Nanshan explained.

Now that the market atmosphere is starting to let go, Gu Mingdong didn't stop him, he just said: "Be careful, don't step on the line."

"Don't you know me? Even if it's not for myself, I will definitely be extra careful for the sake of their mother and daughter." Xie Nanshan has a clear mind, knowing that even if the policy becomes looser, he can't make it big all at once, otherwise he has to Can't go in.

"Adong, tell me what you want, and bring it back for you on the way."

As a thank you, Xie Nanshan patted his chest and promised.

Gu Mingdong really didn't want anything, but before he opened his mouth, he suddenly thought of something: "Since you're going to Shanghai, you just inquire about something for me."

Xie Nanshan looked at him: "Tell me, no matter what, I can inquire clearly."

"I don't remember the exact address, but there should be a family named Hei near the Huangpu River." Gu Mingdong carefully looked through Bai Xiaohua's memory.

After Bai Xiaohua traveled through time, she only wanted to occupy Sun Shumei's life, and the memories in the book were also very chaotic, especially the story of the hero and heroine's fortune many years later was even more fragmented.

Because of this, Gu Mingdong wanted to keep Qian Zhiyi and Wu Mengting behind, relying on their "protagonist aura" to find relics scattered all over the place.

It's a pity that Qian Zhiyi doesn't know his whereabouts now, Wu Mengting took the college entrance examination for the first time, but failed, and now she is still living in Xiyuan Town as a stepmother, obviously it is impossible to leave.

Xie Nanshan and the others were keen, and subconsciously asked: "The family surnamed Hei? Is it related to that incident?"

Gu Mingdong didn't hide it from him: "I suspect that there may be relics in their family."

When Xie Nanshan heard it, he said without hesitation: "Okay, as long as their family has it, no matter how well they hide it, I will find it for you and bring it back."

Gu Mingdong only said: "If you really can't find it, just ask where the family is, and I will go there when the time comes."

"Don't underestimate me, as long as something is there, I can definitely find it." Xie Nanshan was full of confidence in himself.

After finishing speaking, he asked with some doubts: "But what are you looking for?"

"Brother, I didn't say that, although this thing is called a relic, I always think it's too evil."

Even though Gu Mingdong had told him that the Xie family's misfortune was purely due to being used as a stand-in, his impression all along made Xie Nanshan still have lingering fears about this "treasure" passed down from his ancestors.

Gu Mingdong said with a smile: "Shanren has its own magic."

Xie Nanshan saw that he didn't say anything, so he didn't ask: "It's good that you know it in your heart."

The couple came in a hurry and left in a hurry, leaving only a lively and fat daughter.

Little Xie Xie was just happily packing up her things, but when her parents really left, the little girl started to feel sad. She moved a stool and sat at the door, sniffing her nose, crying very pitifully.

Gu Mingdong patted her little head: "What's the matter, didn't you just say that you like Uncle and want to live in Uncle's house?"

Xiao Xie pouted and said, "I like Uncle, but I miss Mom and Dad too."

Gu Mingdong saw that her big eyes were red, and he was a little helpless. After thinking about it, he got up and went into the house, and when he came out, he held a handful of big white rabbits: "Do you want to eat candy?"

Xiao Xie nodded without hesitation: "Eat."

Peeling off a candy and stuffing it into her mouth, the pain of parting flew away from the little girl's head.

After eating two candies, thank you and stop being sad: "Uncle, can you stop telling Mom and Dad that I'm crying?"

"Why?" Gu Mingdong looked at her amusedly.

Xie Xie tilted his head and said, "Mom and Dad have worked hard. They want to earn money to support me. If they know that I am crying sadly, they will be sad too, so we can't let them know."

This sensible little appearance made Gu Mingdong feel distressed, and secretly thought that Xie Nanshan was so indifferent all day long, who knew that the daughter he was born with was so obedient.

"Okay, uncle promises not to tell your parents."

"Then let's pull the hook. If the hook hangs for 100 years, whoever cheats is a puppy."

When the three of Gu Liangxing came back from school, before they entered the house, they saw Xiao Xie Xie moved a small chair and was sitting at the door peeling beans.

"Thank you, why are you here?" Gu Liangxing exclaimed in surprise. He also liked his little cousin very much.

Xie Xie puffed up his chest and said, "Big cousin, I want to stay here for a few days."

After speaking, she ran to Gu Yun's side, and Gu Yun picked her up, and got two kisses from the little girl: "Sister Xiaoyun, I miss you so much that I can't sleep at night."

Gu Yun laughed happily and couldn't help kissing her on the cheek.

Gu Liangxing shouted from the side: "Quickly let my cousin kiss you too, do you want big cousin?"

Xie Xie hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly replied: "I want to, but you can't kiss me."

"Why?" Gu Liangxing deliberately teased her.

Xie Xie explained: "You are a boy and I am a girl. My mother said that boys cannot kiss girls."

"Then why do you always let my father do it?" Gu Liangxing refused.

Thank you for speaking confidently: "Big cousin, how can you be the same as uncle, uncle is uncle, big cousin is big cousin."

"Hey, the little guy is not big, but his posture is not small." Gu Liangxing wanted to make trouble with her, "No, I have to kiss you today."

Xie Xie laughed out loud when he made a fuss, and hugged Gu Yun's neck, refusing to let him touch it.

Gu Liangchen grabbed the elder brother's collar and warned: "It's enough to make a fuss, and if you cry later, you can comfort yourself?"

Gu Liangxing just gave up.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Xie Xie stretched out his little arm: "Brother Ah Chen hugs."

As soon as Gu Liangchen reached out his hand, Gu Liangxing took it, and shouted: "Thank you for being biased, why did you let Xiaoyun hug Ah Chen and not me?"

Little Xie Xie was yelled by him: "Brother Ah Xing, let go of me, don't stab me, or I will call uncle!"

In the end, it was Gu Yun who reached out to save the poor little Xie Xie.

As a result, while waiting for dinner, Gu Liangxing said, "Thank you, my brother will take you out to play later, okay, then we will go fishing by the small river."

When Xiao Xie heard this, his eyes lit up.

Gu Mingdong knocked on the eldest son: "Don't go to deep places."

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely not let my cousin into the water." Even if Xie Xie wanted to, he would not dare. The so-called fishing by the small river is actually a ditch in the field, and a three-year-old child is not afraid of being drowned.

Just now, because my parents left, I felt a little lost in my heart, thank you. I heard that I could go fishing, finished my meal in twos and twos, and followed happily.

Gu Yun was worried about the thick-handed and thick-footed elder brother, so she went with her, lest the two play crazy and cause trouble.

Gu Liangchen tidied up the bowls and chopsticks, and said, "Dad, the teachers in our school are not in the mood for class these days, and they all want to take this year's college entrance examination."

This year's college entrance examination is in July, which is only two months away.

Gu Mingdong smiled and said, "It won't last long."

As time went on, the college entrance examination became more standardized, and at the same time, the requirements for cultural courses became greater and greater. Even because there were too many applicants, the pre-selection system was adopted directly, which meant that most people were rejected.

The two were talking, when Uncle Gu walked in frowning.

Seeing his uneasy face, Gu Mingdong quickly asked him to sit down.

Gu Liangchen brewed tea and said, "Third Grandpa drinks tea."

"Hey, Ah Chen is really sensible." Uncle Gu couldn't help boasting.

Although the twins lost their mothers when they were young, they were raised very well. They are tall, smart, and able to read. What's more, they are filial, which makes others feel greedy.

Uncle Gu also has three grandchildren in his own family. Except for the younger one, the oldest one, Gu Jun, has already joined the army. After he went, there was no news. A letter came only a few months ago, saying that it was okay, and he was disconnected. Like a kite.

The second child Gu Yong is still preparing for the exam, and now he is a little crazy because of the college entrance examination.

The left and right twins are not as smart as the twins, nor are they as filial and sensible, and they don't know how to be considerate of the elderly.

Gu Mingdong smiled and asked, "Third Uncle, what's bothering you?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Uncle Gu sighed: "Hey, the policy is looser now, and I don't know whether it is good or bad."

Gu Mingdong smiled and said: "That must be a good thing, at least our family does not lack eggs to eat."

If this were the case before, there were plenty of chickens in the family, and many people in the production team were reluctant to eat them, so they hid them and sold them in exchange for salt and sugar.

Gu Sanshu thought so too, not to mention other people's homes, and now their homes have more chickens.

Just thinking about the production team, Uncle Gu still frowned: "Yeah, life is going well for you guys."

"But tell me what's going on with the current atmosphere of the production team. The big guys are not active in working in the fields. The work that could have been done in April has not been finished in May. How can this continue? "

Gu Mingdong knew the reason for this change.

The times are developing, and now those with flexible minds start to do some small business, whether it is selling homemade rice cakes, tea eggs, or even mushrooms on the mountain or bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, they can make a lot of money.

In comparison, the work points earned by hard work in the fields every day can be allocated up to 30 yuan a year, which is really too low cost performance.

The members are not stupid, and anyone with a discerning eye knows how to do it better.

Another thing is, no matter how much you do or how little you do, as long as you go to the field and your household registration and grain relationship are with the production team, then at the end of the year, the production team will distribute grain to you.

Work points will affect the quantity, and the ones that can be affected are really the priority.

So some smart people think that fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days is not bad, because it is so easy to touch the fish and go to the ground, and you can get a bite to eat.

This is really worrying for Gu Jianguo, he is the team leader, and Shanghe Village has been an advanced production team for several years, but at the end of the day, the weather is good, and the members of the commune have left their stalls.

"What do you think they are thinking? Will our Shanghe Village's grain production keep up with this?"

"Did they forget how uncomfortable it is to be hungry after two years of good life, and now they refuse to work in the fields when they are full, a bunch of slackers, my mouth is going to be worn out these days."

"There's a lot of excrement and urine on the lazy donkey, so I can't chase after him every day, can I?"

Gu Jianguo wanted to chase after him, but unfortunately, when he was around, the members were better. Once he walked away, he would revert to his old ways, and he was alone, so it was impossible for him to stare at every member.

Gu Mingdong listened to his complaints patiently, and pushed the teacup over after he finished speaking.

Gu Jianguo took a sip from his teacup, sighed and said, "Hey, the world has changed, and no one wants to live a better life."

However, Gu Mingdong asked: "Third Uncle, have you ever thought that now we all work together and share the food together in the end, this state is similar to eating big pot meals in the past."

"How can this be the same? Everyone also records work points, and the more you work, the more you get."

"But before more work, more pay, there is still a household distribution." Gu Mingdong reminded.

Gu Jianguo frowned even tighter.

Gu Mingdong continued: "I still remember that when we were eating big pots of rice, every member was afraid that he would eat less. Now, in reverse, the big guys are afraid that they will do more."

"This is the nature of human beings throughout the ages. Anyway, there is not much difference between doing more and doing less. If you just shout slogans, you can still succeed in one or two years. If things go on like this, it will definitely encourage inertia."

Uncle Gu didn't know this truth, he frowned and said, "That's the truth, but there's no way around it."

Just like Wang Mazi's family, Wang Mazi and Widow Liu can't work, but their household registration is still there, and the food for the family of four must be guaranteed.

Some people cannot eat and drink enough, while others starve to death, which does not conform to the slogan of communism.

Gu Mingdong said, "Third Uncle, that was in the past, and now the policy direction is different, maybe we can try boldly."

These words made Gu Jianguo's heart skip a beat, and he subconsciously looked at his eldest nephew.

Over the years, Gu Jianguo knew that Gu Mingdong was a man with ideas and real skills. Not to mention anything else, the reason why their production team can harvest every year is not because Gu Mingdong can get grain seeds and fertilizers that others can't get?

After hesitating for a while, Gu Jianguo asked, "Adong, do you have any ideas?"

"You can say it boldly, there are only three of us on the left and right, and if you make a mistake, you are not afraid of being caught by the tail."

Gu Mingdong then said, "Third Uncle, have you ever heard of household contracting?"

The concept of household contracting is actually not difficult to explain, but following Gu Mingdong's words, Gu Sanshu's face became more and more gloomy.

"No, how can this work? This is not encouraging private people to buy and sell land. This is the road of capitalism!"

Having just experienced such a turbulent era, when Uncle Gu heard this, he was terrified by Gu Mingdong's boldness.

He shook his head again and again: "No, no, paper can't cover fire, this matter will lose your head."

Gu Mingdong explained: "Third Uncle, this is not a land sale. The land is still owned by the state and the collective, but the collective land is allocated to individuals. From then on, food will not be distributed according to work points. Whoever contracts the land belongs to the owner." You are responsible for yourself, as much as you work, as much as you produce, and as much as you gain.”

Uncle Gu still shook his head: "That's what I said, but there is no precedent for this matter, and I have never heard of any production team daring to do this."

Gu Mingdong said: "Some people have already done this, but it hasn't spread widely."

"Aren't they afraid?" Gu Sanshu frowned.

Gu Mingdong said with a smile: "Third Uncle, look at the current policy. It will be a general trend to liberalize free trade in the future. Buying and selling can be liberalized. Isn't it a matter of time before the production is contracted to the household?"

"What we have changed is not the ownership of the land, but the right to contract. Think about it, when the contract is assigned to the household, the farmland will be cultivated by the family itself, which is directly related to the harvest at the end of the year. This will not be able to mobilize the enthusiasm of the members to the greatest extent. Labor enthusiasm."

Even though he said the hype, Uncle Gu was still hesitant.

I was really scared of being troubled, what if something happened, it didn't matter if he was old, he couldn't drag so many members to suffer.

Gu Mingdong didn't force him to make a decision, but instead said: "There is no rush on this matter, let's see and talk."

Uncle Gu frowned, and walked away with his hands behind his back. Gu Mingdong's words planted a seed in his heart, which would take root and sprout at any time.

Gu Liangchen raised his head and asked, "Dad, will Third Grandpa agree?"

"It will happen sooner or later." Gu Mingdong was very firm. This is the tide of history, and no one can resist it.

Seeing that his father was full of confidence, Gu Liangchen believed it without hesitation.

Sure enough, after a while, Gu Jianguo's thoughts became more and more intense.

It's not that he has figured it out, but that the labor enthusiasm of the members is deteriorating, especially because there are many students in their production team, and there are many people who have been admitted to college before, and the scattered letters sent back make the members' minds flutter.

The wind in big cities turned faster than that in small places. Soon, the members of Shanghe Village knew that in big cities, there was even the sound of hawking on the streets.

At this time, most people look down on small businessmen and hawkers, and feel that it is not decent to work in a factory as a worker, but they cannot stop making more money.

The more you think about it, the harder it is to work.

For example, Wang Mazi even said that he was not in good health and was unwilling to go to the ground.

Uncle Gu came to persuade him, and Wang Mazi said: "My family's love flower has gone to college, and now I can get a subsidy every month. She saves a province and sends it back, which is enough for our family. When she comes out to work in the future, That salary can’t be more, and I’m still working hard to do what.”

This is really shameless, but Gu Sanshu can't do anything about Wang Mazi.

What annoyed him the most was that Li Tiezhu, who used to be the most active in farm work, also ran out from time to time recently.

After inquiring, I found out that Qian Jinhua went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and bamboo shoots every day, and Li Tiezhu went down the river to catch fish. The next morning, he secretly went to the street to sell them. The money he got was not much, but it was much better than farming.

After being so tired, it would be nice if he could go to work every day. He still had the enthusiasm he had before.

Gu Sanshu saw that this form was not good. If this continues, let alone a bumper harvest, the grain production in Shanghe Village will be brought back to its original shape.

In such a situation, Gu Sanshu gritted his teeth and finally held a membership meeting.

Underneath were dark heads. The members thought that Uncle Gu was going to talk about labor enthusiasm again, and everyone was listless, and some of them were sitting there lazily and yawning.

Seeing their posture, Gu Sanshu couldn't help frowning.

His gaze fell on Gu Mingdong, and he couldn't help sighing. He deeply felt that his eldest nephew had a vision, and it seemed that it was imperative to deliver the property to the household.

"Household production contract?" These four words fell on the heads of the commune members like thunder.

Li Tiezhu became excited first: "Captain, you mean that the production team will contract the fields to our family, and then be responsible for farming the land by themselves, and we will return all the output to our family?"

Uncle Gu nodded, and emphasized: "The land is still collectively owned, and it is only entrusted to your family for planting."

As soon as Li Tiezhu thought about it, his heart immediately warmed up. He secretly said that it doesn't matter whether the land is his own or not, as long as the food planted on it is his own.

There were also people who knew that they couldn't be lazy when they heard it, and shouted: "Captain, isn't this specialization?"

Before the words fell, Li Tiezhu retorted: "What's so special, the relationship allows your family to be lazy and not work, and take advantage of others all day long?"

"Hey, tell me clearly, when did I take advantage of others?"

"If you don't work, you are taking advantage of those who work honestly. You are not my mother. I work hard every day in the fields, and I have to give you the food I grow."

"Bah, I also planted in the ground, why did you plant it, and I said you took advantage of me."

Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel, some people said something fair: "If it is possible to contract production on a household basis, it will definitely be better than now. When the time comes, who will work hard and who will be lazy, they will know in their hearts, so there is no need to quarrel."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a good thing.

It's just that some people are worried: "Captain, can we do this well, won't we be criticized by the superiors?"

Gu Sanshu explained: "This is a new attempt, and no one knows whether the higher-ups will support it, but if everyone agrees, we will do it first, wait for the grain production to come out, and then go to the leadership with good results. Say it in front of you."

"Is there anyone who opposes it now, and those who oppose it stand up and say it?"

Everyone looked at each other, and they were all ready to move. They obviously felt that their own land was better than public land.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "I object!"
