Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Chapter 197 Black and White

The members of the club all looked towards the person who spoke.

Gu Jianguo frowned when he saw the man, "Wang Mazi, what's your opinion?"

Wang Mazi still looked like he was walking around, got up and shouted: "Captain, you can't count things like this, some people are willing to work to earn work points, like me, I am not happy, what if you insist on contracting to me?" thing?"

Gu Jianguo scolded angrily: "What's the matter, is it reasonable for you to be lazy and not willing to work?"

"I think it's good now. Everyone goes to and from work together, does work together, and eats together when they have meals," Wang Mazi said.

Li Tiezhu couldn't help but said to his wife: "It's best to start contracting to households as soon as possible, otherwise we would be doing nothing for people like Wang Mazi."

As soon as he said this, everyone around him felt right.

In the production team of Shanghe Village, there are many people who work diligently, at least for their own sake, they are willing to work hard, like Wang Mazi, who can do whatever they want, and the No.

Now he jumped out to object, but it strengthened the hearts of most people: "Wang Mazi, you say it won't work, the minority obeys the majority in this matter."

"That's right, if you are not willing to work, then don't contract it, who will stop you."

"Wang Mazi, are you itchy? Could it be that you are a big feudal landlord and we have to work for you?"

Seeing the growing resentment of the commune members, Wang Mazi felt a little flustered in his heart. After all, he was also a person who had experienced violence. Seeing that he was outraged by the public, he quickly said, "Who is the landlord? I have never ordered you. "

"That's all, you work as much as you like. A group of born laborers. I'm different. My family has a daughter who is in college. She can support me."

As Wang Mazi said, he got up, carried his water glass and walked home: "Whoever likes to do the contracting, I'll go home and sleep."

The Liu family couldn't help scolding that look, "What a bitch, Aihua is not his daughter."

"I knew that I shouldn't have agreed to their marriage back then, and let this thing pick up a good daughter for nothing."

"A thousand dollars is hard to buy, if I knew it earlier, if I had known it earlier, then I would have asked Aihua to live in my house."

Having said that, Wang Mazi raised Liu Aihua for a few years after he came in, and later sent her to study for two years, and finally got admitted to university. Although everyone knew that Wang Mazi didn't spend much money at all, Liu Aihua herself He works hard in the field and earns more work points than his own mother and stepfather.

For the fact that Liu Aihua sent the subsidy home, the Liu family was more envious than angry, and others couldn't care less.

Gu Jianguo looked down on Wang Mazi very much, he was not very old, and he didn't want to earn more money by working, but he lay on his stepdaughter all day long to suck blood.

But Wang Mazi made such a fuss, which made the members who were hesitant at first think about it.

It is much better to work for one's own family than to work for others.

After all, this is something that has never happened before. After signing the agreement of contracting to the household, every household keeps their mouths shut and work at the door.

This self-employed worker was immediately mobilized to work, and the team leader was behind his back to push him around. Everyone wished they could live in the field.

Wang Mazi was the only one in the production team who didn't like this, and he didn't like to work.

But Wang Mazi was not happy, but Liu Xiaozhu couldn't watch them lie on Liu Aihua's body and suck blood.

The subsidy for college students is limited. Although the food relationship is transferred, Liu Aihua will not starve to death, but Liu Aihua has to send money back every month, and I am afraid that she will not be able to eat enough for three meals a day.

Liu Xiaozhu couldn't bear his sister's hunger and cold. As soon as he heard that he could contract the house, Liu Xiaozhu went over Wang Mazi to find Gu Jianguo, and settled down on their share first.

When Wang Mazi found out, Liu Xiaozhu had already picked up his hoe and planned to go to work in the fields.

"You child, why don't you enjoy yourself at home well? Why do you want to farm the land? Are you going to pass the university entrance exam?" Wang Mazi was impatient.

But Liu Xiaozhu said: "Dad, a kid as old as me in the production team should have gone to the fields long ago. I will study at night while farming, and I will definitely not delay the college entrance examination."

"How can this not be delayed? How tiring is it to farm?" Wang Mazi was reluctant.

"Anyway, the money saved by loving spending is enough for us to live on. Why do you have to do this?"

Liu Xiaozhu insisted: "Dad, my sister is my sister, and I am me. I can work and support myself."

Wang Mazi couldn't keep pretending to be stupid anymore, he sighed in his heart, and said helplessly, "It's alright, alright, I know what you mean."

"Give me the hoe, and I'll work on just a few acres of land?"

Liu Xiaozhu was a little moved for a moment, but when he remembered that Wang Mazi mercilessly asked his sister to send money home, the feeling was greatly reduced.

Wang Mazi snatched his hoe, although he had to complain after working for a while, and he had a bad temper when he got home, and left most of the work to Widow Liu, so he didn't insist anymore.

Wang Mazi had already gone to the ground, and the rest of the commune members were naturally more active.

Gu Jianguo saw it, turned around and couldn't help complaining to his eldest nephew: "After all, everyone's ideological awareness is not enough. Isn't working for the public collective work?"

Gu Mingdong wanted to laugh when he heard this, and secretly thought that if everyone had that awareness, the world would be in harmony.

Every household has contracted fields, and the old Gu family naturally has a lot of them. The household registration and food relations of Gu Mingnan's family of three are all in the city. They don't have any share at the moment, but the old Gu family still has Gu Mingdong and his son.

Now as soon as school is over, the twins and Gu Yun would go around the field and pull out the weeds without any hassle, which was absolutely unheard of before.

Even little Xie Xie often ran into the fields, pulling weeds after Gu Mingdong, and his little face was flushed from the sun, and he was quite happy.

"Uncle, I'll help you with the work." After pulling out a blade of grass, Xiao Xie showed it to Gu Mingdong excitedly.

Gu Mingdong put on a straw hat for her: "Are you tired?"

"It's fun." After finishing speaking, the little girl started to work hard again, but this time what she stared at was not weeds at all, but rice seedlings.

Gu Mingdong smiled and picked up his little niece: "Thank you for your help today, let's go home and rest."

"Then I will come with my uncle tomorrow." Xie Xie was full of confidence in himself, "I will help uncle remove all the grass in these fields, and there is not a single one left."

"Thank you for your ambition, but you should save some for your two brothers, otherwise they will have no work to do when they go home."

Gu Mingdong made a joke, and went to the vegetable garden on the way home, washed a tomato and stuffed it into Xie Xie's hands.

Xie Xie was holding a tomato that was not much smaller than her face, eating it all over her face, and asked vaguely, "Uncle, when will my parents come back?"

"Why, do you miss them?" Gu Mingdong also picked a cucumber to taste.

The biggest advantage of the relaxed policy is that no one cares about what to grow and what to raise at home now. Gu Mingdong immediately filled the vegetable garden to the brim. If he didn't dislike chickens, ducks and geese for being too annoying, he would raise more.

Xie Xie took a sip of tomato juice, nodded and said, "I have a little thought."

Gu Mingdong carried her home and comforted her with a smile: "It's time to come back."

Let's say that Xie Nanshan brought Sun Shumei to the big city. As soon as she came out of the train station, Sun Shumei was startled by the lively crowd.

"There are so many people." Sun Shumei subconsciously exclaimed.

Xie Nanshan carried the suitcase, followed closely beside his wife, and walked out with his arms around her: "This is where we are going. It will be more lively in the city."

Soon, under the leadership of her husband, Sun Shumei saw the prosperous Shanghai.

Sun Shumei once thought that Daishan City was already prosperous enough, which was completely different from their small Xiyuan Town, but now, she realized that she was a frog living at the bottom of a well, and now she saw the sea.

Xie Nanshan saw that she was engrossed in watching, so he simply took her for a stroll on the street, not rushing his wife to settle down.

Sun Shumei only felt that her eyes and ears were not enough. She had never seen such a tall building, and it turned out to be almost twenty floors. Now she knew what a tall building was.

Pedestrians on the street are dressed in fashion, the bright colors and strange clothes are not found in Xiyuan Town.

What surprised her even more was that there was a radio in an unremarkable shop on the side of the street, and the melodious music wafted out with the wind, adding a touch of chic to the street.

Xie Nanshan took her to the guest house, and the two finally got a room with their marriage certificate and letter of introduction.

Sun Shumei entered the room, put down the suitcase, and couldn't help but go to the bed: "Shanghai is like this."

Xie Nanshan closed the door and lay beside her with a smile: "Do you like it?"

"I like it, very good." Sun Shumei said with a smile.

"Then let's buy a house here, and come here whenever we want." Xie Nanshan said with a smile.

Sun Shumei gave him a hammer: "what nonsense, no matter how good this place is, it's not as good as ours."

As a result, after a while, Sun Shumei heard the sound of ding ding dong dong from the next door. She opened the window and found an alley behind the guest house. At this point, someone was playing the piano.

The reason why I knew it was the piano was because Sun Shumei had good eyesight, and she saw a girl in her early teens practicing piano at the window on the third floor of the opposite building.

The little girl was not particularly proficient in playing, but Sun Shumei was fascinated by it.

After a long time, she turned around and said, "Let's work hard to earn more money, and I will also send Xie Xie to play the piano in the future."

Xie Nanshan frowned and reminded: "Will it be too hard?"

Sun Shumei glared at him: "A loving mother is a failure. That's a piano. It's such an expensive thing that no one else can learn it."

Xie Nanshan rubbed his nose, he didn't appreciate this, he thought it would be better than singing an opera, but he wisely didn't choose to quarrel with his wife about this.

After putting down her things, Sun Shumei happily dragged Xie Nanshan down for a stroll.

Soon, they knew they had come to the right place.

In Xiyuan Town, and even Daishan City, everything is still dusty, and everyone is cautiously testing the outlet, but in Shanghai, everything is completely different.

Along the way, Sun Shumei also saw people practicing the organ, suona, and flute in the park, and also saw a TV set directly in the shop for the guests to watch to pass the time.

In the alleys, you can see small business people from time to time. Snacks only need money, no tickets.

Shredded radish pancakes, pan-fried buns, pot stickers... the aroma of the food whets the appetite.

After walking around for a while, the two of them ate very well. Sun Shumei couldn't help but said, "If I hadn't come here in person, I wouldn't have believed it if someone told me that Shanghai is like this."

Not only Sun Shumei, but even Xie Nanshan was surprised.

He had been to Shanghai before, but he didn't expect that after all these years of chaos, not only did the city not become decadent, but it was flourishing day by day.

It is completely like two completely different worlds from the backward and conservative Xiyuan Town.

The husband and wife finished shopping and were full, so they geared up the next day and came all the way, so naturally they couldn't leave in vain.

Xie Nanshan quickly got in touch with his former contacts. Although he hadn't contacted him for many years, it was easy to do things with people he knew.

He didn't forget what Gu Mingdong told him, and inquired about the Hei family's news without any trace.

But it didn't take long for him to find out.

Xie Nanshan didn't let Sun Shumei know that he found the old alley by himself.

He first walked around in a circle, and he knew that the living conditions of the people living in this area were probably average. The houses looked too old, and there were debris piled up on the side of the road, making it difficult to walk back and forth.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?" A strange face quickly attracted attention.

Xie Nanshan's expression remained unchanged, and he replied calmly: "Uncle, I'm asking you about someone."

As he said, he handed over a cigarette first, the uncle took the cigarette and glanced at it, and it was lit without waiting for a reaction, he took a puff subconsciously, but he was embarrassed to refuse: "Okay, all the people living here are old neighbors Yes, I know them all."

"Is there a family named Hei?" Xie Nanshan asked.

The uncle was taken aback: "The surname is Hei?"

He sized Xie Nanshan up, with suspicion in his eyes: "Why are you looking for Old Hei's family?"

Xie Nanshan saw that it made sense: "That's it. My dad used to have a friend named Hei who lived in this area. Who knew it was too messy and lost contact. I happened to be in Shanghai on a business trip, so my dad asked me to come over and ask about it. , and see how they are now."

"These years have not been easy." The uncle didn't doubt it when he heard it.

But soon, he sighed: "But you are late."

Xie Nanshan hurriedly asked: "Why is it so late, they moved?"

The old man showed some sympathy: "It would be great if we moved, because there is no one in Lao Hei's house."

When Xie Nanshan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

Gu Mingdong once said that Lao Hei's family had relics, although he didn't know where he got the news, Xie Nanshan didn't doubt it.

But now that something happened to Lao Hei's family, wouldn't that prove that the relic is a disaster?

"What happened?" Xie Nanshan hurriedly said, "Uncle, it's not easy for me to come all the way here, can you explain it carefully?"

The old man did not refuse, and pointed to a dilapidated courtyard in front: "See that house, it was originally Lao Hei's house."

"Lao Hei's life is not good. He married a wife who died within a few years, leaving only one daughter. Later, he married another and gave birth to two sons."

"I thought I could live a good life. Lao Hei got up early and worked late to make money. Who knew that there was a typhoon and it rained heavily. Everyone heard a rumbling sound that night."

"Come out the next day to have a look, and guess what?"

Xie Nanshan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

The old man said: "Their old house collapsed, and all four of them were crushed under the house. When they were dug out, they were already out of breath."

"They're all dead?" Xie Nanshan was terrified, and secretly thought that the thing was indeed a disaster, and anyone who held it would be in trouble.

The old man nodded and said: "Not all of them died. The rain was so frightening that day, and no one went out to look at it in the middle of the night. It was only later that we found out where it was too late."

"When they are dug out, people will be hardened, and there will be no way to live."

"Originally, we had to arrange people to live in it, but everyone felt that the place was too unlucky, so it remained empty."

After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, the old man looked very sad.

Xie Nanshan felt that it was outrageous when he heard it. It was normal for the old house to fall into disrepair, but four people were crushed to death all at once, and no one around could hear the call for help in the middle of the night. This was too outrageous.

His eyes flickered, and he asked again: "Don't they have any relatives?"

"There is still a daughter left behind, but there is no early news." The old man said.

Xie Nanshan couldn't help but frowned: "Uncle, do you know anything about Lao Hei's family? Tell me, otherwise it won't be easy for me to go back."

Smoking a cigarette, the old man was in a good mood, and said a few more words: "They were not originally from Shanghai, they moved here during the war, and the wife in front of Lao Hei is still a child bride."

"You know, child brides. In the early years, the children of poor families were unable to support them, so they were sold to their families as child brides."

"The daughter-in-law in front is good-looking and a good person, but she suffers because she has no parents and is bullied by their family. Hey, I still feel pitiful when I mention it now."

"In winter, let her wash clothes in the yard to earn money, just for the two cents, his daughter-in-law's fingers are almost rotten."

"A daughter was born later, and she suffered together with her daughter."

Xie Nanshan also sighed a few words, but he was not interested in the matter of the child bride-in-law. His focus was on Lao Hei's family, and he asked: "Where is the older generation in their family, are they gone?"

Little did they know that it was because of his interruption that he missed a truth.

The old man thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "It's all gone. The old man disappeared within a few years after moving here, then the old lady disappeared, and then the former daughter-in-law disappeared."

"At that time, Lao Hei beat his daughter every day, thinking that she was a bastard. If you want me to say that their family was unlucky in the first place, it didn't just happen after giving birth to a daughter."

"Although the superstition needs to be broken now, if you say that this family is not evil, I think it's probably a taboo. Otherwise, you won't be able to keep anyone from the old to the young."

The more Xie Nanshan heard it, the more he felt like his own family. Didn't their family die one after another as if they had committed Tai Sui?

For a while, Xie Nanshan was connected with fate, and he felt a little sympathetic to Lao Hei's family.

He wanted to ask more carefully, but the old man didn't know much, and there were only a few words thrown upside down.

"I really can't think of anything else. Old Hei's family doesn't like to socialize with others, and they talk about it all day long. If their family died so badly, I might not be able to remember if you ask me now. "

Xie Nanshan sighed, feeling that he was going to return without success.

He looked at the broken yard: "Master, can I go in and have a look?"

"Go, go." The old man waved his hand indifferently, "There is nothing inside, and there is nothing to see."

Xie Nanshan went in and took a look, and there was indeed nothing. After the collapse, the dilapidated house has not been repaired, and many places can no longer be seen.

All the usable things in the yard have already been taken away by the neighbors, and now it is covered with weeds, not to mention, it looks gloomy.

Xie Nanshan sighed, remembering that before going out, he patted his chest and promised that as long as he was there, he would definitely find the relic.

But now it's a good thing, even after all the calculations, the Hei family is completely deserted.

Xie Nanshan circled around a few times, but couldn't find anything useful, so he could only leave embarrassingly.

But he didn't know that shortly after he left, a person came in the alley.

Because of the hard work in the field all year round, the woman's face is somewhat vicissitudes, but she can vaguely see her youthful appearance.

The old man squinted his eyes, and suddenly recognized: "You, are you the youngest daughter of the old Liu family?"

Liu Yun paused, looked up at him a few times: "Are you Uncle Wang?"

"Hey, it's really you, are you... are you back?" Uncle Wang remembered that many educated youths had come back since last year. Some sneaked back.

He didn't know which kind Liu Yun was.

Liu Yun didn't explain either, she straightened her hair subconsciously, and said with a smile, "Yeah, it's been almost ten years since I left, and I'm finally back."

"It's good to come back, so your parents won't worry about you." Uncle Wang said with a smile.

Liu Yun smiled reluctantly, and greeted, "Uncle Wang, then you should do your work first, I'm going home."

Uncle Wang nodded, and suddenly called her again: "Xiaoyun, wait a minute, I have something to ask you."

Liu Yun stopped.

Uncle Wang asked: "Did that daughter of Lao Hei's family leave with you?"

Liu Yun didn't expect that he was asking Heimei, and said strangely, "You mean Heimei, she went to the countryside with me at the beginning."

"Hey, I remember that you two are close." Uncle Wang patted his thigh and said, "Where is she now, is she still alive?"

"What are you talking about? She is living a good life and is married now." Liu Yun said.

"Married?" Uncle Wang was surprised.

"It's not that when her parents and younger brother died together, the neighborhood committee said they sent a letter, but they never received a reply, nor did they see anyone. Everyone thought something happened to her too."

Although her father and stepmother treated her badly, the whole family died and they would not come back. Everyone in the alley said that the black girl had also died outside.

Uncle Wang heard it from hearsay and thought it was true.

Liu Yun's face was a little embarrassed, and he said lightly: "She is doing well now, she is married to an educated youth who went to the countryside together, and the relationship between the two is very good."

"That young man left too hastily just now, if he was a little later, he would have met you." Uncle Wang said regretfully.

Liu Yun didn't understand, so he said, "Uncle Wang, why did you ask Heimei? Who came to look for her just now?"

Uncle Wang explained: "It's the son of her father's friend. It was very sad just now."

When Liu Yun heard it, he said indifferently: "It's all about how far away, even if you know, what can you do, can you still go all the way to find her?"

After saying this, Liu Yun hurried home.

Uncle Wang thinks about it too, it doesn't matter if he knows it or not.

On the other side, Xie Nanshan saw that there was no hope of finding him, so he had to put aside this idea for the time being, and planned to find Gu Mingdong after returning.
