Chapter 203 Change
Gu Mingdong was also very surprised when he heard the news.
"So fast?" After thinking for a while, Gu Mingdong simply put down what he was doing and walked to Uncle Gu's house.
As a result, Uncle Gu saw him and said, "That kid Ah Chen is running too fast, I still have half a sentence left."
Uncle Gu pulled him aside, and said in a low voice, "I went to the town and reported to Secretary Wang quietly about our production team contracting production to each household."
"Secretary Wang means that now that the policy is relaxed, let us let go and work boldly. When there is a good harvest at the end of the year, he is willing to come forward and report to the top."
As soon as Gu Mingdong heard it, he knew what Secretary Wang meant.
Secretary Wang has been in Xiyuan Town for so many years, and he is very familiar with the local situation. He knows that the state of the commune will disappear sooner or later, so he agreed to Gu Sanshu's "give it a try".
If Left and Right succeed, Secretary Wang is also credited. If it fails, it is a small problem of the production team.
"What about the contracting of the forest?" Gu Mingdong asked.
What he was thinking of was naturally to take all the mountains and forests near Shanghe Village into his pocket.
Uncle Gu smiled and said: "It is definitely not possible now, but Secretary Wang said that as long as it is proved that household contracting is feasible and beneficial to the country and farmers, the policy will be gradually relaxed at that time."
Gu Mingdong had the bottom line in his heart. He told Uncle Gu in advance, just because he was afraid that someone would be ahead of him.
Uncle Gu hesitated again and again, but asked, "But do you really want to contract the mountain land?"
"The mountainous land here is not suitable for growing fruits. It's okay to dig up wild bamboo shoots and wild vegetables on weekdays. If it's real money, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover the cost."
Uncle Gu is also wholeheartedly thinking about his eldest nephew.
The mountains on their side are barren, and nuts such as chestnuts can be grown in the mountains. If they grow fruit trees, the fruits produced are sour and unpalatable. The main reason is that the mountains are too poor and there is too much rain.
"If you really want to contract, how good is the bamboo forest behind the contract, and the ready-made bamboo shoots can be sold for money."
Gu Mingdong smiled and said, "Third Uncle, if others don't know, don't you know my skills?"
"The fruit grown by others is sour, but I must have a way to make it sweet."
Uncle Gu thinks so too, Gu Mingdong has a good relationship with the big professor in Beijing, and he will definitely find a way to sweeten the fruit.
He smiled, patted his eldest nephew on the shoulder and said, "It's good that you know what's going on in your heart, it's third uncle who's just worrying about it."
Gu Mingdong thought for a while, but instead persuaded him: "Third uncle, when the superiors really let go of the contracting authority, you can also consider contracting the bamboo forest, not to mention the income from selling spring bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots, bamboo can also be made into various kinds of bamboo shoots. All kinds of bamboo weaving are definitely faster than farming.”
After saying this, Uncle Gu was a little moved, but he quickly frowned and said: "Hey, even if I want to do it, there is no one in this family who can do it."
Gu Baojia does a good job at the recycling station. Although the salary is not high, it is still a serious job, and he can bring back some useful things from time to time.
It has been less than a year since I went there, and the old family is much more prosperous. For this, Gu Baojia and his wife are very grateful, and they send gifts to the old Gu's family every year and festival.
The old man has two sons, one of whom has already joined the army. He wrote a letter saying that he is doing very well. Gu Jun means that he wants to stay there to develop, but he doesn't know if he can stay.
The second child, Gu Yong, is obsessed with studying. Judging by his posture, if he fails the exam this year, he will continue next year.
Gu Mingdong reminded with a smile: "Third Uncle, there is no one in my Brother Bao's house, so is Brother Wei Guo also free?"
"Second..." Uncle Gu hesitated for a moment.
Naturally, he also wanted to pull out the second child, but when he thought of his daughter-in-law, he felt bad in his heart, especially when the little granddaughter was raised under the knees of the two elders, and they got along with each other for many years, so well-behaved and sensible, it made people feel distressed.
"Let me think about it again, and I'm not in a hurry." Gu Sanshu said.
Gu Mingdong was just a suggestion, and before leaving, he said, "Third Uncle, please help me to watch, and tell me as long as the contract can be contracted, don't let other people take the lead."
Uncle Gu laughed as soon as he heard it: "Come on, whoever wants the mountainous land on our side, you will be a treasure."
"Just prepare the money in advance. The mountains are worthless, so you can't ask for it for nothing."
"Okay, I'm ready." Gu Mingdong responded with a smile.
At this time, Gu Ting ran over, raised her little hand and said, "Uncle Adong, eat peanuts."
At a glance, she had peeled a few peanuts in her hand.
Gu Mingdong ate one with a smile, nodded and said, "Thank you Tingting."
"Would you like to go to Uncle Adong's house to play? Your sister Xiaoyun is also here." Gu Mingdong smiled and stroked the child's hair.
Gu Ting subconsciously looked at Aunt Gu.
Third Aunt Gu smiled and said, "Go ahead, be good, and don't make trouble for your Uncle Adong."
"Well, I know." Gu Ting agreed, and happily held Gu Mingdong's hand.
As soon as the two left, Third Aunt Gu sighed: "This is the uncle in the next room, and he is so kind to Tingting, but it's because my parents don't care."
"Okay, it's been so many years, we can still do it, and we can bring up the children." Uncle Gu comforted.
Third Aunt Gu was still not happy in her heart, she just said: "Wei Guo is also unlucky for eight lifetimes, marrying such a daughter-in-law."
Uncle Gu said something fair: "Weiguo is not easy."
Wang Feng saw the doctor and took the medicine, and she seemed to be much better, but she would have seizures from time to time. Gu Weiguo thought about the peace at home, so he had to coax her a little bit.
After all, the two of them have three daughters, and they cannot really divorce.
"I think he just married a wife and forgot his mother, and now he doesn't want a daughter anymore." Third Aunt Gu was indignant.
When his daughter was first fostered here, Gu Weiguo would come over to take a look from time to time, but after a long time, he got used to it, if not for occasionally giving some pocket money, Aunt Gu felt that he had forgotten that there was a daughter here .
On the contrary, Gu Fang and Gu Wei are always thinking about their little sister. The clothes Gu Ting wears are for school in the second half of the year. The two sisters have already prepared them.
Gu Mingdong took the little girl to the house and asked, "Tingting, do you have to go to school in the second half of the year?"
Gu Ting nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa said he would send me to school, so I can already count from one to one hundred."
"It's amazing." Gu Mingdong boasted with a smile.
Gu Ting smiled embarrassedly.
The two talked and laughed as they asked and answered, because they ran to the old Gu's house with their two sisters since they were young. Compared with their uncle and father, Gu Ting is more familiar with Gu Mingdong.
She knew from the bottom of her heart that Uncle A Dong looked cold, but he was actually very good to the children. He would never beat or scold them, and would often give them delicious food.
Suddenly, the little girl froze slightly, and subconsciously hid behind Gu Mingdong.
Gu Mingdong looked up, and sure enough, a person walking up the path opposite was Wang Feng.
Wang Feng also saw the two of them, his eyes fell on the palms of the two, and he snorted coldly: "I like it so much, why didn't I take it home to raise it in the early years."
After speaking, he turned around, skipped them without squinting and left.
Gu Mingdong frowned slightly, and when he looked down, the smile on Gu Ting's face disappeared, and her small face was wrinkled together, ready to cry.
Even though she has never lived with her mother for a day, Wang Feng's sarcastic remarks still hurt the little girl.
Gu Mingdong sighed, bent down suddenly, and hugged her up.
Gu Ting exclaimed and hugged his neck subconsciously.
"Uncle Dong."
Gu Mingdong said with a smile: "Tingting, you have to remember, no matter what your mother thinks, you are a child who is liked by others."
In fact, Gu Ting has seen Wang Feng's cold eyes a lot.
From a very young age, Gu Ting knew that she was a child her mother didn't want. Aunt Gu never concealed this, and sometimes she would criticize Wang Feng in front of her.
When Gu Ting went out to play, other children would surround her and say such things.
Once, she secretly ran to her original home, hid outside the door and looked at her mother, hoping that she could take her home.
But that time, Wang Feng's eyes were full of disgust after seeing her, and Gu Ting even felt that that person was not her mother, but a demon, a demon who would reach out and strangle her to death at any time.
That day she left as if she was running away. She fell several times on the road and her clothes were torn.
But when Third Aunt Gu saw it and asked her what happened and if she was bullied, Gu Ting couldn't say anything.
Until this moment, listening to Uncle A Dong's words, Gu Ting felt her nose sore, she buried her head on her uncle in embarrassment, and whispered: "But she doesn't like me."
"Grandpa likes you, grandma likes you, Xiaofang and Xiaowei also like you, Axing, Achen, Xiaoyun also likes you, and even Uncle Adong likes you. There are so many people who like you, which proves that our family Tingting is worthy of being recognized." A good boy that people like."
Gu Ting, who was depressed at first, suddenly became happy again after hearing this.
She said with some joy: "It turns out that I have so many people like it."
Gu Mingdong smiled and said, "If you don't like Tingting, why would Uncle Adong invite you home to play?"
For the first time, Gu Ting tried to boldly reach out and hug him: "I will be very good, can Uncle Adong like me all the time."
Looking at Gu Ting like this, Gu Mingdong seemed to see Gu Yun who had just been brought home back then. She was small but matured much earlier than her peers.
Gu Mingdong smiled: "Even if Tingting is not good, Uncle Adong will like it."
These words made Gu Ting shake her little feet happily. For the first time, she didn't get down and walk on her own. Instead, she stayed in Gu Mingdong's arms and let him hug her all the way to the old Gu's house.
From this day on, Gu Ting liked to go to the old Gu's house more and more. She was always alone at home, but the old Gu's house had two elder brothers, A Xing and A Chen, and an older sister, Xiaoyun. She always takes care of her little sister patiently and never bullies her like other children in the production team.
The only pity is that the brothers and sisters have to go to school, so there is not much time to play together.
The little girl immediately looked forward to going to school, thinking in her heart that when she went to school, she would be able to go with her brothers and sisters.
Little did she know that when she started to go to school, her brothers and sisters would also enter the third year of high school. After taking the college entrance examination, they would leave home and go to further places.
But now Gu Ting doesn't know, she just wholeheartedly looks forward to going to school.
When her brothers and sisters were in school, Gu Ting became the second Gu Liangchen, another little tail of Gu Mingdong.
After chatting with Gu Sanshu, he knew that the harvest of the first household contracted production was directly related to whether the subsequent contracting policy could be implemented. Gu Mingdong cheered up and carefully tidied up the few acres of land.
While Gu Mingdong was working in the field, Gu Ting squatted on the ridge and pulled weeds.
Others looked at it and couldn't help joking: "A Dong, you have another daughter in your family?"
Gu Ting paused, then looked up at Uncle A Dong expectantly.
Gu Mingdong replied with a smile: "A niece is similar to a daughter."
Li Tiezhu laughed, glanced at Gu Ting, and said, "Tingting has grown so big in the blink of an eye, she looks so good, and well-behaved, but it's a pity that she's not my daughter."
The member at the other end joked: "You like your daughter to be born by herself."
"The man in my family said that two sons are enough, and I don't want to have any more."
"Two are not enough, give birth to seventeen or eighteen, and only people will work in this field."
"Fuck, there are still seventeen or eight, you treat my old lady like a sow."
Now that the contract has been contracted to the household, it is all for their own work. The members of the commune still have a few jokes when they are working. Once the enthusiasm for work comes up, the crops in the field grow well.
They all belong to the same production team, and they can't hide anything from others.
Someone also went to Gu Weiguo and said: "I said Weiguo, is it true that your family is no longer raising a good daughter?"
Gu Weiguo frowned, and explained: "What nonsense are you talking about, I just lived at my parents' house temporarily and gave me money."
The man clicked his tongue twice, and said: "Then you two don't have any burden, why don't you have another one? No more sons."
As soon as he mentioned his son, Gu Weiguo became angry, and replied angrily: "It's none of your business, I just like my daughter."
"Why are you still angry, I'll just talk about it casually." The man made fun of himself, bowed his head and went to work.
Gu Weiguo straightened up and looked in the direction of the old Gu family's farmland. He happened to see Gu Ting standing on tiptoe, holding water for Gu Mingdong to drink.
His heart was also a little sour, and he remembered that he had never brought this child up in these years, and felt a little guilty in his heart.
Wang Feng was different from him. He glanced over there and snorted coldly, "He's the only one who can be a good person. Why don't you take him home and raise him if you like him so much? Wouldn't it embarrass us to bring him here all day?"
Gu Weiguo's face darkened, and he warned: "Face is earned by yourself, not given by others, so don't worry about it."
Wang Feng was full of grievances: "I didn't do this for you, what would the villagers think of us if he did this?"
Gu Weiguo said lightly: "If you're willing, we'll take the child home and take care of it. Then no one in the production team will gossip. Are you willing?"
These words made Wang Feng's face change, and he said in a low voice, "My parents are well-raised, we want to bring her back, wouldn't that make my parents feel uncomfortable?"
"It's pretty good now. Anyway, the child doesn't want to see us. When we meet her on the road, he runs away. It's like seeing someone being whipped. It's terrible to catch her back."
Upon hearing this, Gu Weiguo knew that she was not happy, so he sighed and said nothing.
Seeing this, Wang Feng looked a little embarrassed, leaned over and said, "Wei Guo, let's have another one, the next one must be a son."
Gu Weiguo's anger disappeared in a flash, he lowered his head and said nothing.
But Wang Feng continued to mutter beside him: "I'm not too old, so I'm sure I can still have children. Our production team has more than seven or eight children, but our family has only three, which is too few."
Wang Feng wholeheartedly felt that she had not given birth to a son because she had given birth too little.
"Wei Guo, can I stop the medicine first, the medicine is useless, it's a waste of money, those doctors in the city will scare people, I'm normal, I can't have children after taking this medicine, as long as I stop Medicine, I will definitely have a son."
Gu Weiguo frowned and glanced at her: "No, the medicine cannot be stopped."
"Xiaofang and Xiaowei are both in college, and we are getting older. Now that we really have a son, it's hard to support us. Forget it, we don't have this life."
But Wang Feng quit: "Why didn't you die? You just listened to other people's nonsense and believed that others didn't believe your daughter-in-law."
"Besides, we are not too old. Even if we grow older in the future, there will still be Xiaofang and Xiaowei here. The two of them have sworn that they will definitely provide for us in the future, so they should support their brother. "
The more Gu Weiguo listened to it, the angrier he became in his heart: "I said that if you don't have a baby, you won't have a baby. If you want to have a baby, we will divorce, and you will have a baby with someone else."
Wang Feng's face turned blue and white, and he felt wronged: "Wei Guo, what are you talking about, I am doing it for your own good."
"I think it's a good day right now."
"Isn't it a joke that we don't have a son?"
"Who is laughing at me? Tell me, I'll call the door. I don't have a son, but I have many nephews."
"How can a nephew have a son..."
Gu Weiguo just felt that he couldn't communicate with her, and felt annoyed in his heart: "Okay, working hard is better than anything else."
Wang Feng pursed her lips, and tentatively asked again: "Then what my mother mentioned will not work?"
Gu Weiguo was actually very excited when he thought of the adoption that his mother-in-law said.
Although Wang Feng often said crazy things, she was right in saying that no son in the production team would be looked down upon, even if he had a nephew.
This situation continued until the two daughters of his family passed the university entrance exams, and the ridicule of others turned into envy, but occasionally someone would mention that the daughters were going to marry and would belong to other people's family in the future.
If there was a suitable candidate in the early years, Gu Weiguo would definitely agree to it.
It's just that he was young at that time, thinking like Wang Feng that he could always give birth to a son, who knew that the delay would be so many years.
After a long time, and hearing too much Gu Mingdong's words, Gu Weiguo felt very bad in his heart, and secretly thought that his family is not childless, so why should he bother to raise someone else's family, who knows if he can raise them well?
He had his own calculations in his heart, and when he thought about Gu Fang and Gu Wei's future,
Gu Weiguo was shaken in his heart, but he quickly shook his head: "Am I crazy? If you have money, you don't support your own flesh and blood, but go to support someone else's."
"You can't say that. He is our son, with your surname." Wang Feng retorted.
Gu Weiguo shook his head and said: "With this energy, I might as well walk around with my nephew more, it's all about being close."
Wang Feng pursed her lips, and thought to herself, what kind of a relationship is that? Whether it is the old family or Gu Mingdong's family, those children look at her with eyes that are not eyes, and noses that are not noses, without any respect.
She didn't want to think why others didn't respect him, but she only thought that the son had to be born by herself.
No one cares about Gu Weiguo and his wife's thoughts except themselves, even Gu Sanshu and Aunt Gu have let go of them. After all, all these years of talking and talking are still useless.
However, there was another incident that caused countless waves on the originally calm lake of the production team in Shanghe Village.
The second college entrance examination is still going strong. The educated youth who failed to pass the exam last year, and the members who think they have a chance, took the college entrance examination this time with great vigor.
Gu Yong prepared for a year without sleeping and eating. This time, he participated again under the expectant eyes of his parents.
Unlike last time, this time he had more confidence in himself.
After the exam is over, the waiting time is very uncomfortable.
Before the results of the college entrance examination came down, a document was sent from Beijing to Xiyuan Town.
The moment Secretary Wang received the document, his face changed a little. Secretary Ma was watching and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Secretary, what's wrong?"
Secretary Wang handed him the document.
Secretary Ma took a look at the document, and was also taken aback: "This... can really be rehabilitated."
Secretary Wang stood up, looked at the yard below from the window, and sighed after a long time: "The morals of the world are really about to change."
Originally, when Gu Jianguo approached him and talked about the household contracting of the production team in Shanghe Village, Secretary Wang was also hesitant in his heart, but he did not expect the policy to change violently and quickly.
Secretary Wang kept thinking about the things he had done in these years.
After reminiscing, he was relieved, thinking to himself that thanks to the influence of his teacher these years, he was forced to stay in the small Xiyuan Town, but escaped from the storm circle.
And because of the teacher, Secretary Wang didn't dare to treat those people preferentially, but in fact he was not harsh. At least in Xiyuan Town, no one was tortured to death.
Maybe in the future, because of his good cause, he will bear good fruits.
Thinking of it this way, Secretary Wang has a little more confidence in Shanghe Village. Contracting to households seems to be risky, but it may actually be more in line with the policy.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Secretary Wang even wanted to advance the contracting of the land in the mountains and forests, but his character of putting safety first made him suppress this idea.
Secretary Wang clicked on the documents: "You should go to Shanghe Village to issue the documents yourself."
Secretary Ma nodded quickly.
After leaving the office, Secretary Ma didn't dare to delay, so he got on his bicycle and headed for Shanghe Village.
He is also familiar with the way, but this time he didn't go to the old Gu's house, instead he found Uncle Gu: "Captain Gu, there are documents issued from above, come out and have a look."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jianguo ran out quickly.
Looking at the document, Gu Jianguo was also surprised.
"Is this true?" Gu Jianguo asked in disbelief.
Secretary Ma said with a smile: "The red-headed documents can still be fake if they are stamped."
Gu Jianguo read it again, and couldn't help muttering: "Fortunately, I listened to A Dong's words in the early years and didn't treat them harshly. Otherwise, when they go back, we can have good fruit to eat?"
Secretary Ma thought the same way, and felt that Gu Mingdong was amazing, and could always see the future that others couldn't see. When he said some things, they thought it was impossible, but now they all happened.
The two were emotional for a while, and Gu Jianguo hurriedly said: "Hey, then I will go there now and tell Lao Wu that they are waiting for the stars and the moon."
