Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Gu Mingdong paused to coax his son, and asked inside: "What's wrong?"

Gu Sanmei came out with a bit of resentment on her face: "Brother, that little girl has injuries all over her body, I don't know how many times she was beaten outside."

"Those people are so worthless, such a big little girl can do it."

Gu Mingdong had seen bruises on Zheng Yun's arms before, but he didn't expect it to be so serious: "I have the medicine I made before in my room, take it in and give her some medicine."

Only taking away so little money and tickets, it seems that it is still cheaper for the couple.

After finishing speaking, he said: "If it is serious, I will take her to the hospital to have a look."

"That's not necessary, it's just that new wounds are stacked with old ones, it looks so pitiful." Gu Sanmei sighed, and walked in with the medicine.

When their old Gu's life was the most difficult, the family was not happy to beat children. From Gu Mingdong to Gu Mingbei, the four children had been starved, but they had never been beaten.

Gu Mingdong thought for a while, then got up and said, "A Xing A Chen, you guys stay at home, Dad goes to the pigsty to have a look."

If the child is brought back, Zheng Tong must be told first, lest he be anxious.

The twins nodded obediently, and after a while, they asked outside the door again: "Third aunt, little aunt, can we come in?"

Gu Sanmei immediately said: "Of course not, my little sister hasn't finished washing yet, so be good, go and feed your mother."

"Okay then." The twins shrugged and walked to the yard hand in hand.

Gu Sanmei shook her head and smiled, "Our nephew is sensible."

After taking off her clothes, Zheng Yun looked even thinner, her body was covered with bones, and her top was still bruised and purple, which was pitiful.

The Gu family sisters were also aroused with maternal love, and the movements of bathing her became gentler.

When she touched the red and swollen place, Zheng Yun flinched, but did not dare to dodge.

Gu Simei picked up her arm, lowered her head and blew, "Hurrah, it won't hurt anymore."

The warm breath brushed over the skin, as if it really took away the pain, Zheng Yun smiled at her.

Gu Simei couldn't help laughing, and said, "Sister San, this child looks really good-looking."

Although she has lost some weight, Zheng Yun has delicate features, and she can vaguely see that she looks good.

Gu Sanmei nodded her head in agreement, but then faced a dilemma: "She has lice on her head, what should I do?"

Zheng Yun's hair was withered and yellow, messy and completely knotted, and it was hard to untie the lice that were crawling around inside.

Gu Simei stood up and took a look. Seeing the lice, she felt her scalp was itching.

If the production team does not pay attention to hygiene, there will be lice in the house. Men with short hair are fine, but women with lice can be troublesome, and they can easily infect others.

The brothers and sisters of the old Gu family love to be clean. Gu Mingdong has never spared firewood. The two sisters wash and change diligently. Their family has not encountered the problem of lice for a long time.

Some people in the production team used pesticides to smear their hair to kill lice, but the eldest brother said that it was easy to be poisoned, and even a bad person would be poisoned, so the old Gu family never used that method.

The two sisters looked at each other, and Gu Sanmei suggested: "Why don't you cut her hair first, anyway, the withered and yellow hair is not good-looking now, short hair is easy to manage, and it will be darker when it grows."

Gu Simei lowered her head to discuss with the little girl: "Little sister, your hair has lice, and it will be very itchy if you don't clean it. Let's cut your hair short first. If you like long hair, you can raise it slowly, okay?" ?”

Zheng Yun looked at her and nodded.

Gu Sanmei took out the scissors: "Let me do it, my hands are steady."

Gu Simei supported the girl to prevent her from moving.

Gu Sanmei slashed down a few times, and the long withered and yellow hair turned into a not-so-standard round inch, leaving only a piece of nail-length hair sticking to the scalp.

"Sister, did you cut it too short?" Gu Simei was worried when she saw it.

Gu Sanmei coughed, and she didn't know why she moved the scissors. She originally wanted to make it longer, but it ended up getting shorter.

She made amends for herself: "It's cleaner if it's shorter, I'll get the bamboo strips."

Short hair does have the advantages of short hair. Brush it over and over again with a scorpion. None of the remaining lice and eggs can escape. If one is found, one will be strangled. Get rid of any bugs.

Gu Simei swept the cut hair with a broom, stuffed it into the stove and burned it all.

After taking a shower, I cut my hair and changed my clothes, and my whole body became refreshed.

Zheng Yun's cheeks were flushed by the heat. She touched her hair curiously, and seemed to think it felt good.

Gu Simei was afraid that she would feel sorry for her hair, so she persuaded her, "Don't worry, children's hair grows fast, and it will grow long soon."

Zheng Yun pursed her lips and smiled, then waved her hands.

Gu Sanmei took a look and said proudly, "Look, she also thinks my haircut looks good."

Gu Simei did not understand this.

When the Gu family sisters were making a major transformation of the little girl, Gu Mingdong had just arrived at the pigsty. Before he saw a few big fat pigs, he saw the skinny old man with white hair first.

Zheng Tong looked eagerly, and when he saw him, he asked, "Did you find my granddaughter?"

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You are well-informed."

On the way back, he only met the Gu family brothers. He thought that the Gu family brothers would not tell Zheng Tong about this, but Zheng Tong waited here for the first time.

Zheng Tong didn't mind his jokes, and asked again: "How is Xiaoyun, is she eating well, is she dressed warmly, has she lost weight?"

"The child was not raised well in the mother's womb. She had no mother to take care of her since she was a child, and she didn't live a good life with me for a few years. She couldn't speak, and she couldn't speak out after suffering."

Gu Mingdong didn't know what to do for a while, so he just said: "When you find a safe opportunity, you can see it yourself."

Zheng Tong was happy at first, but after thinking about it, he said: "Forget it, forget it, don't let her see me, children can't hide things, and it would be bad for the production team to find out."

Seeing that he was wholeheartedly thinking about his granddaughter, Gu Mingdong comforted him: "I made up a false identity for her, saying that she was a homeless child I picked up on the road, and I have already issued a temporary certificate for her."

"There are a lot of things at the police station, so I definitely won't really try to find her family members. I will take her to get her household registration in a month, and no one will be able to find out the problem in the future."

Gu Mingdong just saw that the police station would not bother to find someone at all, so he probably would have turned the page in a few days.

These words made Zheng Tong's eyes sour, and he only knew to say: "Okay, okay, this is very good, don't get involved with me."

Gu Mingdong smiled and said, "At that time, my surname will be Gu."

When Zheng Tong heard this, he smiled and said, "Whether the surname is Gu or Zheng, they are my grandson after all."

He is more open-minded than many men in this world.

Hearing the news that his granddaughter Zheng Yun was safe, even though he hadn't seen anyone yet, the big stone that had been pressing on Zheng Tong's heart was removed, and his spirit seemed much better.

The dark clouds in my heart dissipated, and even my appearance became a little less gloomy.

Zheng Tong glanced at Gu Mingdong, and took out the relic from his arms: "I promised you this."

Gu Mingdong took over the relic, and the ability that had been pretending to be asleep after getting angry with him before suddenly became active again.

He smiled and asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will take things, but not treat your granddaughter well?"

Zheng Tong shook his head and said, "You don't have to be suspicious, you are not the kind of person who breaks promises."

The black relic was dizzy at the fingertips, and Gu Mingdong accepted it unceremoniously.

"From now on, your granddaughter will be my daughter. Before you take her away, I will treat her equally and take good care of her."

These words dispelled Zheng Tong's last trace of worry.

The two reached a tacit understanding, Zheng Tong looked at the relic reluctantly, and said: "The relic is extremely precious, you must remember to wear it every day, so as to ensure peace of mind."

Gu Mingdong looked down at the black pearl, and with the current turmoil of his abilities, he felt that he might not be able to survive tonight.

After talking about this matter, Zheng Tongcai asked coldly, "Did that person surnamed Sun treat my little Yun'er harshly?"

Gu Mingdong also felt strange, and asked back: "You know who he is, why did you entrust Zheng Yun to him?"

Zheng Tong's face was full of bitterness: "At that time, I had no other choice. It is often said that Taoism is not as good as God's fortune. This old man has always been proud of himself, but even when he is old, he also has the problem of not knowing people clearly."

"At that time, the situation was urgent. Looking at the people around me, there were either major disasters or minor calamities. The only person who could be entrusted to me was Sun Cheng. Rather than staying by my side, it would be better to let him take him away, at least to keep him alive." Safety."

"This world is in chaos, a gentleman is in danger, and a villain is in trouble."

Speaking of this, Zheng Tong's eyes flashed a coldness: "But he treats Xiao Yun'er harshly, and he will never end well!"

These words made Gu Mingdong feel the cruelty far away in the center of the storm.

"Xiaoyun is very sensible, I will bring her to see you when the time comes, just be careful."

Zheng Tong hesitated for a moment, whether he wanted to see his granddaughter with his own eyes, so he nodded in agreement.

Gu Mingdong was so considerate, which made Zheng Tong feel a little sorry. The relics are indeed precious, but Gu Mingdong's care probably lasted for many years.

Zheng Tong thought for a while, and then said: "If there is any old man who can help you in the future, just ask."

Gu Mingdong also nodded in agreement.

He suddenly remembered the ancient scroll dug from under the big camphor tree. He couldn't make out the words on it. Maybe the white-haired old man in front of him would recognize it.

If Zheng Tong could translate the ancient scrolls, it would be a great favor to him.

Gu Mingdong returned to the old Gu's house with such thoughts. He guessed that it was too late. After leaving Zheng Tong's sight, the supernatural power couldn't wait to entangle the black pearl.

The black relic instantly vanished into nothingness, leaving only a smear of gray and black.

Gu Mingdong felt the change of the ability, but he didn't know if he had absorbed too much before. This time, he didn't feel anything other than comfort.

It seems that the appetite for abilities is getting bigger and bigger.

Gu Mingdong sighed, put away the gray and black first, then add water to knead it, squeeze it, it is also a good thing.

I don't know if Zheng Tong knows about the other "relics". Gu Mingdong thought about this all the way, but when he entered the door, he suddenly saw Zheng Yun with a round cut head.

Zheng Yun was thin and thin, but her head looked bigger after she cut her hair, like a radish head in a painting book.

Gu Mingdong gasped: "How did you make her like this?"

When Zheng Tong sees it, he will die of heartache.

Gu Sanmei quickly explained: "Her hair has lice, and it's hard to get rid of it if you don't cut it short."

Gu Mingdong sighed, seeing Zheng Yun intertwining his fingers and looking anxious, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and boasted against his will: "It's okay, it looks very energetic."

Looking carefully, the clothes on Zheng Yun's body have also been changed. They should be Gu Simei's old clothes. Although they are patched, they are still clean.

In addition to being thinner, it looks much more refreshing.

The twins were full of curiosity, and looked around Zheng Yun from left to right: "Dad, look, I am taller than my sister."

Zheng Yun is two years older than the twins, but they are indeed about the same height, and the twins are chubby, so they look much stockier than her.

"Then you are brothers, her name is Xiaoyun, and she will live in our house from now on. You have to take good care of her and don't let others bully her, remember?" Gu Mingdong said.

The twins nodded quickly, patted their chests and promised to take good care of their sister in the future.

Gu Liangchen took the little girl's hand slowly: "Little sister, let's go play in the yard."

"My brother and I have raised a lot of chickens, and they will lay a lot of eggs. We have eggs every day."

"In the future, you will feed the chickens with us, so that you can also eat eggs."

The childish words of the little ones made Zheng Yun's lips twitch, and she laughed silently.

Seeing that the three children were playing well, Gu Mingdong yelled to the kitchen: "Fourth sister, steam an extra egg tonight."

You're so skinny, just eat more.

Gu Simei responded inside, since there is an extra child, she naturally needs to cook more meals.

That is to say, the condition of the family is much better now, and they will no longer go hungry, otherwise Gu Simei would not be willing to part with it.

Before the second brother Gu came back, Gu Jianguo, who was nearby, got off work and came here in a hurry.

When I entered the door, I suddenly saw a child playing with the twins, and I was stunned for a moment.

"Third Grandpa, this is the younger sister that Dad brought back, her name is Xiaoyun." Gu Liangxing introduced with the air of a big brother.

"Okay, you play, I'll talk to your father." Gu Jianguo entered with a frown.

Gu Mingdong knew his purpose at a glance: "Third Uncle, sit down and have a cup of tea."

"Baojiaweiguo said she was a girl, how did she become a boy?"

"It's a girl, it's just a haircut."

Gu Jianguo was afraid that the child would hear him, so he lowered his voice and said, "Adong, didn't you go to Lijuan's house? Why did you bring a child back?"

Gu Mingdong talked about the child's matter again, and said: "This happened to me, so I can't ignore it. Besides, our family can afford as much as a little girl can eat."

Gu Jianguo worried: "This is something that can't be afforded..."

He thought that there was a worker in Gu Mingdong's house, and if he just gave him a bite to eat, let alone a child, ten of them would be able to support him.

But he still said: "You have two sons yourself, don't you want to get married and have children in the future, and suddenly you bring back a little girl who has no relatives and no reason, and is still dumb. Will you be happy when you get married?"

"Or are you thinking of child brides? Let me tell you, child brides are all remnants of feudalism. This is not the case now."

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Gu Mingdong insisted: "Third Uncle, I just want to see her as a pity, and bring her back to raise her as a daughter, there is no other meaning."

"Besides, I've said it many times. Now that I have a son and a daughter, why should I get married?"

Uncle Gu always thought that Gu Mingdong would not forget Li Lijuan if he said he would not get married, but now he said in surprise: "If you don't get married for a year or two, it's possible that you won't get married for the rest of your life."

One must know that Gu Mingdong is only twenty, when he is in good health, how could he not have a daughter-in-law.

No matter what Uncle Gu tried to persuade, Gu Mingdong bit him to death and refused to get married.

Gu Jianguo's mouth was furious when he said it, and Gu Mingdong poured him a cup of tea, but he didn't change his words.

At the end, Gu Jianguo had no choice: "Forget it, I can't control you anymore."

Gu Mingdong smiled: "Third Uncle, I did a good thing, not a bad thing."

"Your parents died early, and now that you are in charge of the family, you can do whatever you say." Gu Jianguo sighed.

"But now that Anan and the others are grown up, they are starting to take money from the family. You have to tell them when you do things, otherwise the brothers and sisters who are close relatives will be unhappy because of outsiders."

Gu Mingdong didn't think that the second brother would object, but he still nodded and said: "Third uncle, I know it well, and I will discuss it with Anan and the others."

"It's good that you know it in your heart." What Gu Jianguo was most worried about was because of a foreign child, but Gu Mingdong had a quarrel with his younger brother and younger sister.

After a few reminders, Gu Jianguo got up to leave.

Gu Mingdong hurriedly said: "Third uncle, everyone is here, you can stay here to eat."

"Your third aunt has finished cooking and waited for me to go back. I will come to your house to eat after the New Year." Gu Jianguo refused to take advantage of his nephew.

When Gu Erdi returned home, he was really surprised to see that there was another person in the house.

Taking advantage of everyone being present, Gu Mingdong told the story of the child again, then stroked Zheng Yun's head and said, "From now on, Xiaoyun will live in our house and be raised as my daughter. "

Zheng Yun held her job bowl timidly and stared at them with big eyes.

When the second brother Gu heard this, he immediately said: "Brother, you are really good. You will have both children and children after going out for a while."

"What are you talking about!" Gu Sanmei was so angry that she picked up her chopsticks and whipped him.

The second brother Gu begged for mercy in pain: "Third brother, why are you so fierce, who will dare to marry you in the future."

"Brother, how about letting her follow my eldest nephew's ranking and call her Gu Liangyun?"

Gu Mingdong felt that after ten years, Zheng Tong would recognize the child back sooner or later, so he shook his head and rejected Gu's second brother's kindness: "Let's call it Gu Yun, a single name is more elegant."

"That's true, Gu Yun is also good, very easy to say." Second brother Gu agreed cheerfully.

Gu Simei is still a half-grown child, but she is calmer than her elder brothers and sisters. She pities the little girl's energy and keeps adding vegetables to her bowl, which quickly piled up into a hill.

Zheng Yun held the bowl and ate by herself. Although she was very hungry and frightened, the little girl ate very well, she ate quickly but not in a panic, not a single grain of rice would fall out.

The more Gu Simei watched it, the more she liked it.

Gu Mingdong smiled and said, "It's good that you don't have any opinions. If you have opinions, you must speak up."

"What do I have to say?" Second Brother Gu said carelessly, "Brother can raise whoever he wants, let alone a little girl, even if you marry a wife and give birth to ten or eight children, I'm also happy."

Second brother Gu said this sincerely, he knew the true identity of the twins.

Gu Mingdong didn't pick up the words, and said lightly: "With just a few of you, my headache is enough. If there are ten or eight more, I will be bored to death."

The second brother Gu was making fun of himself, touched his nose and asked the third sister Gu about recruiting, and the answer was as expected.

This time, he didn't hit his sister, but said, "Fortunately, big brother left you a way out."

Gu Sanmei also nodded: "Cousin Shumei told me secretly that she will handle the job quota of the garbage station when she returns."

Gu Simei knew that her sister was determined to go to the city, so she was happy for her when she heard it: "That's great, then our family will have two workers."

Gu Mingdong confessed: "Don't talk about this matter, it's not too late to talk about it after it's done."

"That's for sure. The rest of the production team didn't pass the exam. If they knew that I could easily fill Cousin Shumei's current job, they wouldn't have to be jealous and say sour words."

Gu Mingdong nodded, and told the two children: "When you go out to play, you can't talk about it, remember?"

The twins naturally nodded obediently.

"Dad, I'm so tight-lipped. Our chickens lay eggs every day, and I didn't tell anyone else."

"Me too. When the grown-ups asked me what to eat at home, I always said sweet potatoes."

"What two little clever ghosts." Gu Sanmei smiled and helped them pick up shredded pork with chopsticks.

After eating a meal happily, when it was almost finished, Second Brother Gu suddenly remembered: "Brother, didn't you say you were going to your sister-in-law's natal house today, did you go?"

Gu Mingdong said casually: "I remembered the wrong address, and I couldn't find the address."

Second brother Gu didn't really believe this, and felt that his brother probably wasn't telling the truth.

But when he looked up, Gu Mingdong was squinting his eyes and looking at him. The second younger brother Gu quickly said: "Forget it, if you can't find it, don't look for it. Anyway, the sister-in-law is gone, and it will be a heartbreak to find them."

Gu Sanmei saw that his words were getting worse and worse, so she stretched out her legs and kicked him, and comforted him: "Brother, don't be sad, if there is fate, we will meet in the future."

"Okay, don't mention this, let's eat." Gu Mingdong said.

Suddenly, Second Brother Gu screamed.

Gu Sanmei pinched him: "What are you yelling again?"

Gu Erdi said, "What are you pinching me for? I'm just thinking about how I'm going to sleep tonight because I have an extra child at home?"

There are only three rooms at the top of the house, and now the twins are still living with the sisters. After all, Zheng Yun is a girl, and she is actually six years old, so it is naturally inconvenient to live with Gu Mingdong and Gu Mingnan.

Second brother Gu suggested: "Why don't Xiaoyun sleep with the third child and Xiaobei in the same room, and Ah Xing and Ah Chen sleep with me."

He also said: "I just want to tell my elder brother that the transportation team is very busy at the end of the year and has to work three shifts. I may not be able to come back in the next two months. Ah Xing Ah Chen sleeps in my room."

Gu Mingdong is not used to having other people around him when he sleeps, but now he has to look directly at this problem.

The children in the family are not young, and as they get older, it is definitely not acceptable to stay in the same room all the time, especially if the twins are still boys, they cannot always sleep with their aunt.

Thinking about it this way, he was negligent before.

"When you are not at home, let Ah Xing and Ah Chen sleep in your room. When you are at home, they sleep with me so as not to disturb you."

Gu Mingdong began to think about building a house in his heart.

Gu Erdi was surprised and said: "Brother, aren't you a shallow sleeper and can't fall asleep when there are people around you?"

Gu Mingdong said, "My bed is big enough, so it doesn't get in the way."

So it was settled.

Since Li Lijuan passed away, the twins have been living in the house of the third aunt and the fourth aunt. This is the first time that they have slept with their own father.

After washing their feet and going to bed, the two children were a little excited and crawled around under the quilt.

Gu Mingdong patted it with a smile: "Lie down quickly, or I will throw you into the second uncle's room."

The twins quickly lay down.

As soon as Gu Mingdong lay down, two children on one left and one on the right hugged his arms.

"Dad, I have a big secret to tell you." Gu Liangxing said mysteriously.
