Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

"Adong, I just had dinner." The old Liu brought someone to the door, but his complexion was far from that of the morning. Obviously, this day made him wake up from the joy of being appreciated by the leader.

At this moment, he has vaguely realized that the educated youth is not a reward at all, but a trouble.

Gu Mingdong glanced at the three people following him: "Captain, what's the matter with you here at this time?"

Gu Sanmei and Gu Simei quickly cleaned up the dishes and poured water for them.

Wu Mengting glanced at the old Gu's family and frowned slightly.

Qian Zhiyi's eyes fell on the uneaten pickles, with contempt in his heart.

On the other hand, Xu Zhenzhen drooped her little head, with a dejected look, and looked far less energetic than in the morning.

Gu Mingdong caught their expressions, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, he hasn't looked down on these two flamboyants, but they look down on their old Gu's family instead.

The shriveled old Liu didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "It's like this, there are too few houses with vacant rooms in the production team, and the three educated youths have a bit high requirements for accommodation, so I can only bring them to your house to ask. "

Qian Zhiyi frowned slightly, thinking in his heart what was going on with the captain, didn't he mean to show that they were good at things.

He quickly smiled and said, "It's not that we are demanding, it's just that it's not easy to live in a room with a bunch of strangers."

Gu Mingdong gave him a strange look. This person was almost the same as the original owner remembered. He always had a bit of the pride of a young master, and usually used his nose to judge people.

The second brother Gu who was playing with the twins next to him couldn't help it, and said, "Then why do you come to our house, our house is that room, and there is no place for you to live in."

Qian Zhiyi glanced at him with displeasure: "I heard from the captain that there are only six people in your family, and two of them are still children. You can definitely spare a room."

"We educated youths are also going to the countryside to support construction. Can you make a sacrifice and free up a room? We are willing to give one yuan a month as a subsidy. One yuan is enough to rent a room in the city."

A condescending face that you are the ones who have earned it.

Seeing him, Gu Erdi felt displeased, and said with a stiff neck, "Then you go to rent a house in the city, why come to my house."

Qian Zhiyi's face darkened, and he looked at the shriveled old Liu: "Captain, it seems that the little comrades in your production team are not ideologically enlightened enough. They don't want to support national construction at all."

Second Brother Gu blushed immediately, and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Gu Mingdong coughed and interrupted their words: "Captain, I also think this is inappropriate."

Wu Mengting raised her head subconsciously, and stared at Gu Mingdong with a pair of affectionate eyes, as if she was about to say something.

It's a pity that the winking eyes were thrown to the blind man, but Gu Mingdong just pretended he didn't see it, and continued:

"This Comrade Qian talked about his enlightenment without looking at our family's situation. Anan and I are both young men. There is no daughter-in-law in the family. The two younger sisters are not too young. Captain, what do you think? Is it appropriate to arrange educated youth to live in?"

"It's not convenient for my two younger sisters to live in, and it's uncomfortable for a female educated youth to live in."

"I know that educated young people from the city don't pay much attention to the relationship between men and women, and don't care about gossip, but we are locals, and the most important thing is whether our daily behavior is decent or not. We can't bear it."

Qian Zhiyi's face became even darker, and he secretly scolded this man for being a bad guy, and actually accused Sang and Huai of saying that their behavior was not decent.

But the shriveled old Liu nodded in agreement. He hadn't thought of this just now, and he thought it was right when he heard it.

He frowned and said, "Hey, I also told these educated youths that your family is not suitable, so they came to ask."

Gu Mingdong smiled and looked at Qian Zhiyi: "Comrade Qian kept saying that he was here to support the countryside, but he has been in our production team for a day, and he is only busy with the house."

"What's the matter, the house provided by the brigade can be lived in by others, but you can't live in it?"

"The chairman has already said, if we are not afraid of hardships or tiredness, and bravely face difficulties, what can't be overcome with such a small problem? Could it be that you used to sleep in the warm beds of capitalism?"

Qian Zhiyi didn't expect Gu Mingdong to be so eloquent, and every sentence hit him at the bottom of his throat, making his long-standing principles null and void, and he was speechless for a while, and could only glare at him.

The shriveled old Liu followed suit for a day, feeling very impatient in his heart, turned around and said, "Three educated youth comrades, what A Dong said is not pleasant, but the truth is indeed the same."

"You have all seen it today. The living conditions of our production team in Shanghe Village are like this. It is definitely not as good as in the city."

"If you want to live alone, you can live in the house provided by the village. The house is big enough and spacious. If you want to live in a member's house, you almost know it."

Gu Mingdong asked at this time: "Captain, you have helped them run for a day today, how can you do this? You are the captain, and you must not stare at them during spring plowing."

"Isn't it? What do you think it's called?" Old Liu couldn't help complaining, subconsciously wanting to say that this group of educated youths are difficult to serve.

But looking at the faces of the three educated youths, the old Liu swallowed his words back, and only said: "Okay, you can't force it if you don't want it, go back and think about it."

"I've been making trouble for a long time, and I haven't had dinner yet."

Qian Zhiyi's expression was a little bad, Wu Mengting tugged at the corner of his clothes, and the latter sighed and said, "Okay then, let's go back and think about it, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"However, I would like to declare here that we are definitely not greedy for enjoyment, but want to better build the motherland while ensuring our lives."

Gu Mingdong smiled and said sarcastically, "That's what you say, it has nothing to do with me."

Qian Zhiyi snorted coldly with a stinky face.

The shriveled old Liu took a look at him and said only: "Tomorrow you have to go to work in the fields, and we will talk about it after work."

After speaking, he didn't even bother to send them back, and went home on his own.

Wu Mengting couldn't help but frowned: "Aren't we a little too picky today? We seem to have offended the captain."

Qian Zhiyi said, "Look at the families he took us to. There are seventeen or eight people in the family. The husband, wife and children all live in the same house. Can we feel comfortable living there?"

Wu Mengting's complexion was not good. She did not expect the living conditions in the countryside to be so poor.

There are also two families with good conditions, but like Gu Mingdong, they are both bitten to death and cannot live in them. They are not allowed to live in, obviously because they are afraid that strangers will enter the house and cause trouble.

Xu Zhenzhen, who was following behind, said in a low voice: "Forget it, let's live in the assigned room."

Wu Mengting took a look at her, and felt that instead of renting someone else's house, it would be better to live by herself: "It's really not possible, that's the only way to go."

"How can I do that? The house is so dilapidated, how can you live in it." Qian Zhi said subconsciously.

Wu Mengting grabbed his arm, forced a smile and said, "If others can live, there is nothing I can't live in."

She looked at Qian Zhiyi faintly, originally thought that because of Li Lijuan's relationship, she could live in the old Gu's house, but for the sake of her relatives, Gu Mingdong would not have to take good care of her?

I heard that Gu Mingdong loves his younger brothers and sisters very much, not to mention asking them to go to school. Recently, the two younger sisters are not allowed to plant rice seedlings during the busy farming season, but only let them do some light work.

She is Li Lijuan's cousin in name, so Gu Mingdong naturally has to treat her as a younger sister, so she can relax a bit.

Who knew that Gu Mingdong was so difficult to speak, that he really didn't know her, and didn't give him any face.

Seeing Wu Mengting's eyes, Qian Zhiyi pursed his lips and swallowed the rest of the words.

"Zhiyi, I know you're doing it for my own good, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Who knows how many years we'll be here, we can't offend local snakes." She lowered her voice and persuaded.

Qian Zhiyi held her hand and sighed: "Hey, it's all the fault of the world, otherwise you wouldn't have to suffer this kind of grievance, later..."

Neither of them said anything more.

When Qian Zhiyi and Wu Mengting returned to the educated youth spot, they didn't notice that a pair of eyes were staring at the two of them behind the door of a nearby house.

Bai Xiaohua was staring at their backs with dark waves in her eyes.

She didn't expect to see the hero and heroine so soon. In the book, when Sun Shumei had no choice but to marry into Shanghe Village, the hero and heroine had already lived here for a while.

It wasn't until the couple walked away that Bai Xiaohua straightened up, and she was spinning around in place a little anxiously.The hero and heroine suddenly appeared, but Liu Dazhu still looked like the mud couldn't support the wall. Could it be that she really had to wait ten years.

After ten years of hard life, she must have been ruined. Thinking of Widow Liu's sarcastic remarks recently, she was pregnant and couldn't even eat meat and eggs, Bai Xiaohua's heart was full of reconciliation.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Xiaohua suppressed the irritability in her heart. If Sun Shumei could survive in the book, she could also persevere.

Just wait another two years, although the chaos outside is fierce, the farmers will never be short of food at home after a good harvest.

After thinking about it, she narrowed her eyes, thinking about how to treat the protagonists.

Of course, it is impossible to offend them. Don't look at them now, ten years from now, they can still be crushed to death with the touch of a finger.

Please?Bai Xiaohua felt a little reluctance in her heart, why?

She couldn't help but think of the handsome and upright appearance of the male protagonist, who is many times better than Liu Dazhu in terms of sales. Even if he is not as rich and dedicated as Liu Dazhu in the future, he still has status!

She looked down at her belly, and stroked her slightly swollen belly with one hand. If she had known that the male lead looked like this, she should have waited a little longer, maybe she would have a choice.

Gu Mingdong doesn't know about Bai Xiaohua's ambitions, he just thinks that these two educated youths are a big trouble.

As soon as the people left, Gu Erdi couldn't help cursing and complaining: "What's the matter with these educated youths, they are too good at talking to themselves, it's a crime for us not to let them live."

Gu Sanmei came out from inside, and said to herself: "You are the only one who talks a lot of foolishness, and you are always in a hurry to give people some excuses."

Second brother Gu muttered, "I didn't say anything."

However, Gu Mingdong knew Qian Zhiyi's temperament, so he reminded his younger siblings: "These educated youths are arrogant and have too many thoughts. If they are not careful, they can bring people into the ring. You should stay away from them. Don't talk to them. gone."

Gu Erdi quickly said: "It's too much effort to talk to them, and the future will pretend to be dumb when they see him."

At this time, Gu Simei came out and asked with some concern: "Brother, is this really okay? I heard Ah Xing and Ah Chen say that the female educated youth is sister-in-law's cousin."

Gu's second brother and Gu Sanmei were all surprised when they heard this.

"Is that sister-in-law's cousin?"

"It's too different. It's completely different from our sister-in-law. It doesn't look like it, and its temper doesn't look like it."

Gu Mingdong was noncommittal, but said: "Your sister-in-law never mentioned her before her death, even if she is not close relatives, besides, that female educated youth repeatedly explained that no one should let others know about this relationship."

Gu Simei was taken aback: "Why?"

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows: "Who knows, since she feels shameful, then let's not rush to get close, or it will be disgusting."

"That's right, we can't put a hot face on a cold butt." After hearing this, Second Brother Gu disliked them even more in his heart.

The three brothers and sisters all thought that maybe the female educated youth didn't want to talk to her because her family was too poor and she didn't have any poor relatives in her eyes.

Gu Sanmei and Gu Simei also nodded in response. They had never seen Wu Mengting before, so the reason for their hesitation was because of their sister-in-law.

Now that they are not willing to communicate with each other, they will naturally not take the initiative.

There are no secrets in the countryside. What happened when the educated youths first came here spread quickly.

When Gu Mingdong was at work, Li Tiezhu next to him came over and asked, "Adong, I heard they went to your house to ask questions yesterday?"

"I have been here before." Gu Mingdong said, "But our family is either a young man or a young girl. Whether it is a man or a woman, it is inconvenient to live in, so we refused."

Li Tiezhu said with a smile: "Hey, our family is willing to vacate the house, but people look down on them and despise our family's Mai Tai."

Li Tiezhu's daughter-in-law wants one yuan a month, and besides, the educated youths also have food subsidies, so they can save a little by eating their own food together.

It's a pity that the educated youth took a look at it, and felt that their house was too dilapidated, and there were too many children and too noisy, so they didn't pay attention.

Zhao Jinhua was also planting rice seedlings, and she worked faster than men. When she heard this, she said: "If you don't like it, you can't look down on it. I don't think it's troublesome to come here."

"Adong, you are right in rejecting it. Those two female educated youths look like vixens, and the male is a judge of people with his nose. He is not a good person."

Gu Mingdong smiled and said nothing.

A few members of the commune nearby were gossiping about the educated youth, when they saw the old Liu bringing the five of them over.

"Now the spring planting is busy, and you have to go to the field together. Today I will let the people in the production team teach you. You should study hard. It doesn't matter if you slow down at the beginning."

When the five educated youths looked at the rice fields, their hearts were pounding, especially the two female educated youths, their faces turned green when they saw the leeches.

It was Gu Jianguo who was called to teach them how to transplant rice seedlings. He was not willing to take on this drudgery, but the team leader arranged for it.

Before coming here, Gu Jianguo was mentally prepared, but after he started teaching educated youths how to transplant rice seedlings, he realized that he was not mentally prepared enough.

Looking at the crooked seedlings, Gu Jianguo's distressed face twitched.

After teaching for several days in a row, some people didn't make any progress. Gu Jianguo couldn't help it anymore:

"You can't do this, the seedlings can't survive if they are planted like this."

Qian Zhiyi shook his hands of the muddy water, panting, "It doesn't work anywhere, it doesn't look the same."

Gu Jianguo glanced at him and knew that this was a thorn, so he didn't talk nonsense with him, and pointed out the unqualified points bit by bit, so as not to save him face.

Qian Zhiyi's face turned blue and then pale, holding back his anger and said: "We never did this before, but now it's pretty good."

Gu Jianguo pointed to the brothers of the Du family: "As long as you are not stupid, you can learn it. You can see that the two of them are doing a good job."

Wu Mengting couldn't bear the suffering, and she even began to regret her decision, whether it was a refuge or a hardship.

After thinking about it, she raised her head and asked, "Uncle, our learning progress is too slow, and it will definitely waste everyone's time if it goes on like this. Why don't you find some simple jobs to teach us first, and give us a habit to adapt to?" time."

Gu Jianguo said indifferently: "The division of labor is arranged by the team leader. If you want to change, you can directly talk to him."

"However, the work points you get are different for different jobs. The food you eat now is borrowed by the production team first, and it will be returned after the autumn harvest. Doing simple jobs all the time is not enough to eat and drink."

He also kindly reminded them so that they would not starve when the time came.

Wu Mengting didn't worry about money at all, she smiled and said, "Since you can't make the decision, Uncle, I'll talk to the captain."

So with a huff, the other three people left except for the Du brothers.

Gu Jianguo shook his head and asked them, "Aren't you two going?"

Du Tao laughed: "Transplanting rice seedlings is not that difficult, let's just do it."

Tired is tiring, but who made their family poor, can't eat enough, and can't give them money?

Last night, I managed to eat a full meal at the educated youth restaurant. After discussing it, the Du brothers felt that the poor conditions in the countryside are a little bit worse, but at least they can eat rice, which is much better than at home. Their family always eats coarse grains. .

The two brothers still want to work hard, and if there are surplus work points, maybe they can send some to their families.

Both of them are filial children, thinking about their parents who ate very little every day at home just to save rations for them.

Gu Mingdong was planting seedlings, and when he saw Qian Zhiyi and the other three walking aggressively in the direction of the captain, he knew that they were bound to make trouble again.

Li Tiezhu next to him was also pouting: "Look, it will take a while for me to stop working, and it's too useless. Are these educated youths here to work, or to make trouble."

Gu Mingdong smiled: "It's none of our business anyway."

Li Tiezhu heard the same thing, he looked at Gu Mingdong enviously, and sighed: "Ah Dong, you are amazing, planting rice seedlings faster than others, recently you get 12 work points every day, right?"

Gu Mingdong smiled and said, "Yes, so I should do more."

Li Tiezhu admired him deeply, and secretly thought that it was no wonder that Gu Mingdong had the courage to send all his younger siblings to study. His work alone was worth two of them.

Being in good health and being able to work is confidence.

Looking again, he had two leeches sucked on his legs, but Gu Mingdong didn't have any.

"Does this leech also judge people, why doesn't it bite you?" Li Tiezhu muttered.

Gu Mingdong paused slightly, and only said: "Bite too, I found that I was crushed to death."

With the existence of supernatural powers, it is strange that those leeches broke ground on the head of Tai Sui.

The effect of supernatural powers is subtle, and the gap between Gu Mingdong a year ago and Gu Mingdong now is already hundreds of thousands of miles away.

There is more flesh on the body, the muscle lines become obvious, even the skin is extremely smooth, and the whole body is full of strength.

When the traffickers were caught years ago, Gu Mingdong was able to blow a man weighing more than 100 kilograms into the air with one punch.

Fortunately, there are no photos at this time, otherwise the contrast between before and after would be too obvious, and it is easy to find something wrong.

The people in the production team watched it every day, and only thought that Gu Mingdong was dead and his wife had changed a lot. This year, the harvest was delicious and full, and the big guys had grown some meat, so they didn't feel awkward. They even praised him for his vigor. Getting better and better.

Before work was over, Gu Mingdong heard about the news from the educated youths.

The shriveled old Liu was so disturbed by them that he waved his hand and asked those educated youths to raise pigs.

Last year, the task pigs of the production team in Dahe Village were too thin, and two of them died halfway. If Gu Mingdong hadn't caught wild boars, the entire brigade would have no meat to eat after the task pigs were handed over.

This year, the shriveled old Liu learned from the painful experience and asked for a total of six little piglets. He sent a message that the big ones would be able to share the meat when they were raised.

The idea was good, but when the little piglet arrived in Shanghe Village, he didn't know if it was not acclimatized to the environment.

Raising pigs used to be a good job, but now it has become a hot potato. The old Liu had no choice but to let his pregnant daughter-in-law go, so that he could earn some work points and the work would not be tiring.

At this time, the educated youth just came to make a fuss, Qian Zhi insisted that he knew how to raise pigs scientifically, so the flat old Liu planned to give him a try.

The two sides agreed that if the pig is well-raised, it will be calculated according to the full work points, and if it is not well-raised, then only the minimum work points can be taken.

Seeing this matter was unreliable, the wimpy old Liu's daughter-in-law lost her job, and was unhappy in her heart, and immediately complained to others: "My father-in-law doesn't know what he was thinking, but he really believed that educated youth's nonsense."

Some people also said: "It is impossible to say that the educated youth has real skills."

The wizened old Liu's daughter-in-law snorted coldly: "It's a lie, it's no wonder he can raise pigs as a city man, just wait and see, if he can make pigs grow fat, then I will obey him."

No matter what others think, anyway, Qian Zhiyi persuaded the shriveled old Liu to take on the important task of raising pigs with his tongue-spreading lotus.

When Gu Mingdong came home that day, Fourth Sister Gu came over and said, "Brother, I saw those educated youths on the mountain today."

"What are they doing up the mountain?" Gu Mingdong asked.

Gu Simei said without words: "It is said that they went to the mountains to hunt pigweed, but I saw them talking, laughing and singing, it doesn't look like they are working."

Gu Mingdong thought about it, and asked, "Where are they hunting pigweed?"

"It's at the foot of the mountain, on the land to the east." There are lush green grass and a lot of wild vegetables, and Gu Simei went to dig wild vegetables with the younger sister today.

On the land at the foot of the mountain to the east, Gu Mingdong suddenly laughed.

Humming a song, Gu Mingdong, who was in a great mood, ate an extra bowl of rice.

On the other side, in the educated youth spot, Wu Mengting couldn't help smelling her body, and she was relieved to make sure that she didn't feel the anger of a domestic pig.

As soon as Qian Zhi walked in, he saw her frowning, sitting on the edge of the bed with a sad and beautiful appearance.

"Mengting, what's wrong?" Qian Zhiyi asked.

Wu Mengting came back to her senses, and comforted her with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

Qian Zhiyi comforted: "Then you sleep a little longer tomorrow, and I will go hunting pigweed with Xu Zhenzhen."

I completely ignored that they were playing and making noise today, and spent more time singing on the mountain than playing pigweed, and those few pigs howled with hunger.

Wu Mengting's eyes flashed, and she said hastily: "How can that be done? I rest alone and my conscience is uneasy. I might as well be with you. Even if it is bitter, my heart will be sweet."

After speaking, her cheeks flushed and she lowered her head.

Qian Zhiyi's heart felt hot, and he held her hand tightly.

"Meng Ting, although raising pigs doesn't sound good, the advantage lies in the freedom of time. Let's do it for now, and we can open up to eat meat at the end of the year."

"Then we will cook Dongpo pork."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

At this moment, the smell of food came from outside.

Qian Zhiyi's stomach growled, and Wu Mengting joked with a smile: "Let's go out for dinner."

The two of them went out in a hurry, but when they got outside, the Du Ming brothers had already eaten, and the pot was empty.

Qian Zhi's face darkened: "Why did you all eat it? Then what shall we eat?"

Du Tao and Du Ming looked at each other, and his elder brother Du Tao said, "Qian Zhiqing, let's eat separately in the future."

The younger brother Du Ming also said: "We are not working together now, the time is not uniform, and it is convenient for everyone to eat their own food."

Wu Mengting frowned and said, "We are all educated youths who came together, so what are you doing here?"

Du Tao hehe said: "I haven't seen anyone else, but our two brothers have lived a rough life and ate a lot. We can't lose you."

Du Ming echoed, "It's convenient for everyone to eat their own food, and you don't have to care about other people's tastes."

After speaking, I poured half a bowl of chili into the pickles, and it was delicious.

Qian Zhiyi snorted coldly: "Eat separately, eat separately, who cares about eating in the same pot with you."

But then he was stupid, there was a pot and a bowl, but he didn't know how to cook at all.

Qian Zhiyi looked at Wu Mengting, and the latter naturally wouldn't, both of them looked at Xu Zhenzhen.

Xu Zhenzhen pursed her lips, secretly thinking that something was wrong with the development of the matter, but her stomach was growling, so she could only squat down and start a fire to cook.

After she worked so hard to prepare the meal, Qian Zhiyi first filled a large bowl full for Wu Mengting, and filled a bowl for himself. When Xu Zhenzhen went to serve the meal, there was only a small bowl left.

Wu Mengting noticed it, and said politely: "Zhenzhen, if you don't have enough food, I'll give you some."

Before Xu Zhenzhen could speak, Qian Zhiyi said, "Why didn't you cook a little more just now?"

"Forget it, I've had enough." Xu Zhenzhen hugged her job tightly, and Wu Mengting didn't speak anymore.

Xu Zhenzhen glanced at the brothers of the Du family who were already sitting at the door talking after eating and drinking, and suddenly something became clear in her heart.

Ever since they arrived at the production team in Shanghe Village, Qian Zhiyi and Wu Mengting had never cooked or washed dishes by themselves. They were picky and picky every time they ate, despising their poor craftsmanship.

Eat the most and do the least, this is really treating yourself as a young master.

Xu Zhenzhen thought of the little food left, and suddenly had the urge to eat separately. She also worked, so why should she cook for them.

For a while, the educated youth spot fell apart.

Qian Zhiyi only has Wu Mengting in his eyes, he doesn't care what the others think and do.

Wu Mengting might have sensed it, but she didn't take it seriously.

Xu Zhenzhen finished the small bowl of rice in silence, and tears could not help but fall down while washing the dishes.

Why, she also beats pigweed during the day, and cooks dinner at night, and now she has to wash the dishes, and she is not full at all, she is really hungry.

After washing the dishes, Xu Zhenzhen plucked up her courage and wanted to talk to Qian Zhiyi and the others about it.

Who knew that before she could open her mouth, the crumpled old daughter-in-law Liu rushed in and cursed: "What did you feed the pigs today? Let me tell you, if the pigs in our production team die, don't think about it!" .
