Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Chapter 214

"I seem to have seen you somewhere." Li Libin shouted subconsciously.

Gu Mingdong didn't hide it: "Many years ago, I went to Li's house. I didn't enter the door at that time, but I said a few words to you."

It's been too long, and that incident didn't leave any impression in Li Libin's mind. Now that he tried hard to think about it, he just said: "It seems that there is such a thing."

He wanted to ask why he didn't tell them the news of Li Lijuan's death directly since he went to Daishan City.

But when he thought about what happened back then, Li Libin felt guilty, and he couldn't ask questions.

But the twins listened to it and said in surprise, "Dad, have you been there?"

Gu Mingdong nodded and said, "I went there once, but I didn't go in."

Jean opened the door and invited Li Libin in. Seeing that he was carrying a big burden, he asked, "Do you want to stay for a few days?"

"No, no, this is for the two children." Li Libin explained.

Li Libin opened the bag, and the things inside were not considered expensive, they were all food and drink, of course, it was pretty good in this year.

It can be seen that Li Libin has spent a lot of time preparing.

"I haven't been in touch for so many years, and I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought the special products of Daishan City, thinking that I should like to eat delicious food."

The twins looked at their father subconsciously, and Gu Mingdong nodded towards them.

"Thank you uncle." The twins accepted it.

Li Libin heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I should have come to take a look at it long ago, but who knew that your grandma was ill, and she has been bad and bad all the time, and she is not able to go to the field until now."

When they heard that grandma was ill, the twins asked a few questions with concern.

Li Libin just said: "She is getting old, and she was not in good health, the doctor said that she should take good care of her."

In fact, it was impossible to hide the fact that the twins got back. At that time, the neighbors saw it and didn't know how it was done. Li Liye, the boss of the Li family, also knew about it.

Unlike his younger brother, Li Liye only had hatred and disgust for his sister who had disappeared for many years, without any brotherhood.

Hearing the news, Li Liye went home and made a big fuss, causing Li's mother to be rushed to the hospital. Although she was rescued, she couldn't control her hands and feet.

Almost killed someone, Li Liye finally gave up and left his mother alone.

Li Libin had to go out to earn money, and he had to take care of his mother when he returned home. His wife at home also had a lot of resentment about this, so it was hard to find time to come here this time.

But at this moment, he didn't want to talk about the ugly things at home, so he changed the subject: "There are many things at home, I have to go back by car later, this..."

Gu Mingdong understood what he meant: "Let Ah Xing Ah Chen take you to the grave."

"Thank you." Seeing that he wasn't embarrassed at all, Li Libin quickly thanked him.

The twins didn't say much, and took Li Libin out.

As soon as the person left, Gu Mingnan couldn't hold back any longer. He frowned and said, "Who are these people? They haven't shown up for so many years. What's the matter with showing up now? They don't want to pick peaches, do they?"

Gu Mingdong glanced at him and said with a smile, "Why are you angry?"

"I... I'm just not worth it for you."

Gu Mingnan was originally a person who couldn't hold back his temper. Now, after turning around twice, he couldn't help asking: "Brother, why did you let Ah Xing and Ah Chen look for it? If their family is dead, then it's fine."

Gu Mingdong laughed and said: "A Xing and A Chen have grown up and have their own judgment. If you don't hide some things, they won't know. It's better to keep them secret. The more you don't let them know, the more curious they will be."

"But..." Gu Mingnan murmured in his heart.

Gu Mingdong said again: "Okay, I trust Ah Xing and Ah Chen, can't you trust the two nephews?"

Gu Mingnan was discouraged and said: "It's not that I can't believe it, I watched them both grow up, and they won't be the kind of heartless white-eyed wolves."

"That's it. It doesn't matter if you have one more relative or one less relative." Gu Mingdong really thought so.

If the child is a white-eyed wolf, it's useless for you to guard against it. If not, it's okay to let them know.

On the other side, on the way up the mountain, the twins were also a little silent.

The two brothers knew very well in their hearts that if there was any problem with their identities, others might not know about it, but Gu Mingdong definitely knew it in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

But people like to deceive themselves and others, and the twins are not willing to speak.

Li Libin hesitated to speak, after all, they were uncle and nephew who had just met, and the two sides really had nothing to say.

Suddenly, a person walked towards him.

"Third Grandpa." The twins called out.

Gu Jianguo nodded, his eyes fell on the person behind them, and he said strangely: "A Xing A Chen, this is..."

The twins didn't know how to introduce them for a moment.

It was Li Libin who said, "Hi, I'm A Xing, A Chen and their mother's younger brother."

"Ah? Ah!"

Gu Jianguo was also surprised, and he quickly said: "It turns out that they are Lijuan's family members."

Looking at the direction, Gu Jianguo knew that they must be going to the grave, so he stepped aside: "Then you guys go quickly."

When the three of them left, Gu Jianguo's heart was pounding: "I haven't contacted you for more than ten years, why did you suddenly appear?"

Li Libin saw that the twins' expressions were not very good, so he asked, "Did uncle say something wrong?"

The twins shook their heads not because of this.

Gu Liangxing explained: "No, I just don't know what to say."

Li Libin sighed: "Uncle is late, let's walk around more in the future, so we can talk."

Having said that, the three of them didn't have many topics to talk about until they walked to the foot of the mountain. They just asked how the years were going.

Fortunately, Li Lijuan's grave arrived soon.

Unlike Bai Xiaohua's solitary and barren grave, Li Lijuan's grave looked new, having been refilled with soil not long ago.

Li Libin saw the words on the tombstone, his eyes were sore, and tears fell down suddenly.

Watching him wipe away his tears silently, Gu Liangxing comforted him, "Don't be too sad, Mom has been gone for so many years, if she knows, she definitely doesn't want anyone to be sad for her."

Li Libin barely held back his sourness, forced a smile and said: "That's right, she never likes to see others sad."

Kneeling down to wipe the dust off the tombstone, Li Libin looked at his sister's name and felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

"Ah Xing, Ah Chen, can you let uncle and your mother have a few words alone?"

The twins nodded: "We'll be waiting at the foot of the mountain."

The two walked down the mountain one after the other, and on the way, Gu Liangxing suddenly stopped: "Ah Chen, what do you think he wants to say to our mother, and he has to avoid us?"

"I don't know." Gu Mingchen replied.

"Why don't we go and eavesdrop?" Gu Liangxing suddenly suggested.

Gu Liangchen, who usually worked with him, grabbed him this time: "Don't go."

Gu Liangxing looked at him in surprise, but the latter directly dragged him down the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, Li Libin looked at the old grave, tears streaming down his face: "Sister, I'm Abin, I'm here to see you."

"Sorry, it's been so many years since I came to see you."

At this moment, the guilt and remorse hidden in the bottom of my heart came to my heart together. Sitting in front of the grave, Li Libin cried and said: "My parents regretted it too, saying that they should not have driven you away at that time. They never came back, and they certainly wouldn't do that."

"Our father has been away for many years, and I don't know if you have met in the underground. It would be great if you could meet, and you two can have a companion on the road to Huangquan."

"Sister, don't blame mom, she is not in good health now, and even going downstairs has trouble, and she can't go far."

"She definitely wanted to see you in her heart, but I didn't agree."

He talked a lot, Li Libin talked about the situation of his eldest brother's family, and mentioned his own marriage and childbirth. In the past few years, Li Libin thought that although his sister had no news, as long as he lived well, he would be fine.

Unexpectedly, they were close at hand, but Li Lijuan had already passed away.

"I saw your two sons. They are tall and strong. You can tell that they have been raised very well."

Thinking of what happened back then, Li Libin also showed some emotion in his eyes: "Sister, it would have been great if you had met Gu Mingdong first, even if Shanghe Village was a little poorer and a little bit harder, you would definitely be able to live well."

"However..."

Li Libin's eyes revealed hatred: "That heartbroken man surnamed Wei left you behind and left without caring about your life or death. I really wish I could kill him to vent your anger on you."

After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Li Libin's legs became numb before he came back to his senses.

If you don't go back, it will be too late, and his wife will definitely complain if it is too late, and the house will not be clean by then.

Li Libin struggled to stand up, and his body shook for a while before he stabilized himself.

Looking at the tombstone for the last time, Li Libin said again: "Sister, I'm leaving today, and I will come to see you when I have a chance."

"Don't worry, only Mom and I know the secret back then. We will help you keep the secret. The two children will never know. This is good for you, good for Gu Mingdong, and good for both of them."

The twins sat at the foot of the mountain and waited. Gu Mingxing was bored playing weeding and asked, "What did he say to our mother? He hasn't come down for so long."

Gu Liangchen took the grass he pulled out and made a grasshopper: "Wait a little longer."

After a while, Li Libin came down from the mountain.

"A Xing A Chen, it's getting late, I'll go back today."

Gu Liangxing was stunned for a moment: "Why don't you go home and have a meal before leaving? My dad must be ready."

"I have to catch the car and I'm afraid it will be too late. Help me and thank your dad for his kindness."

Anyway, Li Libin didn't agree to go over to have dinner. Before leaving, he patted the shoulders of his two nephews: "You two should study hard, listen to your father, and come to uncle if you encounter any difficulties."

After crying for a while, Li Libin seemed to be in better spirits, as if the burden that had been weighing on him had finally been let go today.

When the twins went home and talked about it, Gu Mingdong was not surprised.

"If you don't come, don't come. We can eat by ourselves." Presumably Li Libin knows some inside information, and I'm afraid he doesn't know how to face his brother-in-law.

Li Libin's visit did not cause any topic in the production team.

After all, he came and left in a hurry, not many people saw him, and the only one who knew his identity was Uncle Gu.

Gu Sanshu naturally wouldn't spread the word.

In comparison, Gu Mingdong took out money to contract the mountain forest, which made the members more willing to talk about it. There were even rumors that Gu Mingdong spent several years of wages of his younger siblings and his brother-in-law in order to contract this matter. .

The members wanted to see a joke, and Gu Mingdong knew it well.

He didn't care, looking at the contract that was finally finalized, he sharpened his knife to the mountains and forests, planning to do a big job.

With mountains and forests, what to plant is a problem.

Gu Liangxing yelled after hearing this: "Plant red bayberry, otherwise mulberry fruit is also good, so delicious, I can eat a whole basket in one meal."

"Don't come up with an idea, there are so many kinds of red bayberries in the next county, we can't grow them and sell them. As for mulberries, whoever eats them will still buy them." Gu Liangchen slammed him back first.

Gu Liangxing touched his nose: "They really have no discernment, what delicious food."

Gu Mingdong said with a smile: "If you like to eat, grow some. If you don't sell it, let's eat it at home."

Gu Liangxing almost stopped cheering.

Gu Liangchen said helplessly, "Dad, don't spoil him all the time."

It was all contracted with money, and he was afraid that the fruits would not be sold and would lose money, and his father would feel bad.

Gu Mingdong obviously didn't have this concern, and looked at him with a smile: "Whatever Ah Chen likes, Dad will plant it for you."

Gu Liangchen touched his nose, and finally said: "Orange."

"Planting, oranges and oranges. Where's Xiaoyun?"

Gu Yun pursed her lips and smiled: [I like them all. 】

Gu Mingdong said that there are many kinds of points, such as bayberries, oranges, persimmons, watermelons, and grapes. Anyway, his original purpose is to grow and eat by himself to satisfy his appetite.

All kinds of nature can be planted, eaten or eaten at home, but as a commercial crop, it really needs to be carefully considered.

There are many mountains and rivers around Shanghe Village, so there are actually a lot of fruits suitable for planting. Although the mountains and forests are a little barren, this is not a problem. With supernatural powers, it is not difficult to fertilize the land.

But the special fruits in Daishan City are loquat, bayberry, and peach.

It's delicious, it's juicy, sweet and sour, but it's just too much juice, and transportation becomes a big problem.

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Mingdong gave up his plan to plant these three kinds of fruits on a large scale now. After decades, the cold chain matures, and the market for these fruits will really rise.

But now just a transportation problem can give him a headache.

Take peaches as an example. When a ripe peach is squeezed lightly, the peel will fall off, and it will be filled with sweet peach juice, which is delicious.

But the problem is, even such delicious peaches will rot if you don’t eat them for a day after picking them, and even if you pick them not ripe, they will rot after two days on the road.

To make matters worse, the ripening season for peaches is summer, and the temperature is high, which is a disaster for the immature period of the cold chain.

Gu Mingdong himself likes to eat peaches, so he still has to grow them, and he plans to grow several different varieties, but the initial cash crops still have to be apples and citrus, which are delicious and easy to store and transport.

After making up his mind, Gu Mingdong began to think about varieties again.

The old varieties are definitely not good, and the yield is low and the taste is average, but the varieties with high yield and good taste are not the ones that Gu Mingdong can get saplings just by planting them.

After visiting the orchards of several farms in Daishan City, Gu Mingdong gave up the idea of ​​searching locally and set his sights on the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Beijing.

This matter was unclear in the letter, and I went back and forth several times. Both Gu Sanmei and Gu Simei ran away several times, but Gu Mingdong still decided to go again by himself.

Hearing that the eldest brother is coming to Beijing, the Gu family and sisters were overjoyed.

The moment they received the news, the sisters of the Gu family began to prepare, inquired about the guest house, and made an appointment with Professor Hong. If the elder brother was free, they would take him around to see places of interest.

The two sisters couldn't hide their excitement, which made the other two people in the dormitory very strange.

"Xiaoxi, Xiaobei, what's wrong with you two sisters? Why are you so happy?"

Gu Mingxi said with a smile: "My elder brother is coming to Beijing."

The girl who asked the question knew that the two of them had a good relationship with the family, so she smiled and said, "That should be treated well."

"Sister Lulu, you are from Beijing, so you must know where the fun is. I think I will take my elder brother around." Gu Mingbei also asked.

Lin Lu naturally knew everything, and pointed out: "Some places are enough to take a picture. If you really want to eat local specialties, you have to go to the old alley. It's cheaper and delicious there."

"At that time, I will list a few restaurants for you. I guarantee that the taste is authentic and delicious, and I will definitely kill customers."

Today's Beijing city has also changed a lot, and there are people doing small businesses everywhere.

"Lulu, thank you." Gu Mingxi thanked her with his arms around her, and it was obvious that they were roommates in a dormitory, and their relationship looked very good.

Lin Lu didn't care about this trivial matter, and joked: "It's a pity that your elder brother is a man, otherwise we can squeeze him in and let him live in our dormitory, and save the money for living in a guest house."

Gu Mingxi laughed loudly: "When the time comes, let my elder brother treat guests to dinner. If it weren't for you, we would definitely not know such a good place."

"Then I have to open my stomach and eat more."

Gu Mingxi packed up his things, then got up and said: "Lulu, I'll go out with Xiao Bei, and I won't have dinner with you."

"understood."

Gu Mingbei doesn't actually belong to this dormitory. The two sisters have different majors, and they were not assigned to a dormitory at that time.

Originally, it was possible to find someone to discuss changing the dormitory. This is something that the students don't mention and the school doesn't care about it, but there are difficult people in both of their dormitories, so they didn't change.

But there were a lot of contacts, and the female dormitory knew that the two of them were sisters, and they were admitted to Beijing University together. It was a very rare thing that two girls from a family were admitted to Beijing University.

As soon as the two sisters left, the mosquito net that had been hanging on the innermost side was pulled up, and the female student who pulled her face snorted coldly: "Isn't it that the poor relatives from the countryside are going to the city, and it's like welcoming the leader."

Lin Lu glanced at her: "There are still people who dislike poor relatives. The revolution has only passed a few years, what a stink."

The face of the woman pulling her face was even worse: "Lin Lu, are you Gu Mingxi's dog? You help bark when she's not around."

"What do you mean, do you want to quarrel?" Lin Lu's expression turned ugly.

Xu Xia sneered and said, "I just can't see people acting like monsters. She's obviously a country girl from a poor place. She pretends to be so noble all day long, and her food and food are comparable to those of us in Beijing. I don't know about them. Where did the money come from? It’s not clean.”

Lin Lu also knows the pain of poking people: "Isn't it that the male classmate you fancy doesn't like you, but prefers Gu Mingxi? Who can blame you for being disgusted even if you chase after yourself? If you want to blame, you can only blame your parents You are too ugly."

Xu Xia was so angry that her face turned blue, and she was about to get angry when Lin Lu snorted coldly: "Xu Xia, don't speak too much, or I will tear your mouth apart."

Holding her breath tightly in her chest, Xu Xia kept a cold face, and in the end she still didn't dare to continue arguing with her.

Of the four people in the dormitory, Gu Mingxi and Lin Lu were not easy to mess with, and they were fierce even in fights, Xu Xia never dared to whisper behind their backs.

The sisters of the Gu family ran downstairs, but Gu Mingbei was still there and regretfully said: "My cousin's house is too messy, otherwise we can live in it after tidying it up."

Gu Mingxi said, "It's not comfortable to live in someone else's house, it's better to live in a guest house."

"Too."

Just as he was about to walk outside the school, a person walked towards him. When he saw the two of them, he greeted them happily: "Comrade Gu Mingxi, are you going to the cafeteria? I'm going too, let's go together?"

Gu Mingxi put on a pretty face: "Comrade Liu Tao, I have something to do with my sister, and I'm not on your way."

"Then where are you going? I have a car, how about I take you there?" Liu Tao said courteously.

"I like to walk on my own in hardship and simplicity, so there's no need." Gu Mingxi refused bluntly, "Besides, we don't know each other that well. Please keep a revolutionary distance from me in the future."

Liu Tao's face darkened: "Gu Mingxi, do you need such a giant thousands of miles away? I just..."

"No just." Gu Mingxi said with an unchanged face, "I came to Peking University to study, and I just want to study hard to serve the country. Please don't disturb me to dedicate my youth to the country."

Liu Tao's face turns green and pale. He looks good, and he was admitted to Beijing University. He is popular everywhere. Who knows that after falling in love with Gu Mingxi at first sight, he hits the wall repeatedly, and the other party doesn't give him any face.

Shamed and annoyed, Liu Tao rode away with a dark face.

Gu Mingbei asked worriedly: "Sister, is it okay for you to reject him like this?"

Gu Mingxi rolled his eyes: "If you don't refuse, there will be trouble."

She whispered: "This Liu Tao is narcissistic. Whenever you give him a good face, he will think that you have fallen in love with him. If he is the only one who will not marry, you can't give him a good face when dealing with this kind of person."

At first she also refused in a good voice, but Liu Tao didn't know whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, and he seemed to be incomprehensible.

Gu Mingxi thought about it, probably because she felt that she was a female classmate with a thin skin, and she played the trick of a strong girl who is afraid of pestering her husband.

But who is Gu Mingxi, she won't be like an ordinary little girl who can't hold her face when she pushes and half-pushes, and simply speaks in front of everyone, so that he can no longer pretend that he doesn't understand.

Even though there was such a fuss, everyone in this major knew that Gu Mingxi only wanted to dedicate himself to the motherland, but it was better than being punished without knowing why.

Gu Mingbei nodded, and said, "Sister, let's go together from now on, lest he pester you."

The two sisters left school talking and laughing, and on the way, Gu Mingbei mentioned another thing: "Sister, do you still remember the old man we met on the train?"

"Remember, what's wrong?" Gu Mingxi asked.

Gu Mingbei was puzzled and said: "The old grandfather and the eldest brother are almost printed out of the same mold. Do you think people can really look so similar to each other?"

Gu Mingxi laughed when he heard this: "There are so many people in the world, how many of them look alike?"

"Besides, it's not a coincidence, it can't be our grandfather, right?"

Gu Mingbei also thought about it: "That's right."

"You were born late. In the past, our mother always talked about the day when the eldest brother was born. She said that the first child was not smooth. She was in pain for three days and three nights before giving birth to the eldest brother. She was so tired that she fell asleep for several days."

"What else?" Gu Mingbei asked curiously.

Gu Mingxi immediately talked about what happened back then, and his sister was taken aback for a while.

The grandfather that the two sisters talk about has to start with the train that the two of them took to go back to school in Hecun.
