Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Chapter 224: Major Events in Life

Ever since the conditions of the old Gu's family improved, the marriage of the first four brothers and sisters in the family has become a hot topic, and everyone wants to come up and have a bite.

But everyone in the production team knows that Gu Mingdong usually doesn't lose his temper easily, his face is cold but he is easy to talk to, but if you really come to say goodbye, no one will take any notice of you.

In the beginning, Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu, together with Gu Xiuxiu who was far away in Xiyuan Town, were also worried. They wished that the four of them would get married early and have children, preferably a lot of them, so that they would be worthy of dying. people.

It's a pity that no matter how well they planned, the old Gu's family didn't cooperate from top to bottom.

As the boss, Gu Mingdong took the lead and said that he would not marry if he said that he would never marry again. He hadn't been tempted all these years, and lived happily by himself.

The second child is nothing to worry about, but the two younger sisters follow suit. Whenever Gu Xiuxiu meets her sister-in-law when she goes back to her mother's house, she can't help worrying about it.

So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, there are four brothers and sisters in the old Gu family, and three of them are single.

Years ago, when Gu Mingdong was busy contracting the forest, Gu Xiuxiu also took time to come back.

Not only did she come back by herself, she also brought her husband, son and son-in-law with her, and asked them to work as coolies.

At the end, Gu Xiuxiu found Third Aunt Gu, and said, "Sister-in-law, I've thought about it, but I still don't think they can go on like this."

"Don't talk about others, you said that Ah Dong doesn't look too big, seeing that Ah Xing and Ah Chen are about to take the college entrance examination, and they don't know where they will be assigned after they pass the exam, so isn't he alone?"

When Third Aunt Gu heard this, she immediately got excited: "Who said it wasn't?"

"But you know Adong's temperament. He has been thinking about the one in front of him, and he has never let go in these years. After all, he is not a child anymore, and we can't make decisions rashly."

Gu Xiuxiu also knew it, and sighed: "That can't be ignored. Now that a group of children are around, he doesn't feel deserted. When the children are gone, what should he do alone?"

As he said that, he began to feel sad and wipe away tears: "Hey, as long as I think of such a good child, I can only cook and eat by myself at a young age, and I don't even have a warm quilt, I can't let it go."

The two women hit it off immediately, and they planned to give Gu Mingdong a good lesson when everyone was free during the Chinese New Year.

Gu Xiuxiu held her breath and insisted on returning to her mother's house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and then came here with a man in a threatening manner.

Gu Mingdong entertained his aunt who was visiting as usual, and felt strange seeing her posture.

"Why do I feel like our aunt is about to go to the battlefield." Gu Mingdong said to his sister privately.

As for the second child, I took my daughter-in-law and child to my mother-in-law's house early in the morning.

Gu Mingxi nodded and said, "I think so too, brother, don't you want to introduce someone to me again?"

"I can't, I said it before, at least wait until you graduate." The main reason is that the two girls passed the university entrance examination, and Gu Xiuxiu didn't have any suitable candidates.

Gu Mingxi glanced at the lobby, where Gu Xiuxiu was talking to the twins, "It can't be for the three of Axing, Achen, and Xiaoyun."

"Adong, Xiaoxi, what are you two talking about inside?" Gu Xiuxiu immediately noticed the small movements of the brother and sister.

Gu Mingdong walked out with a smile: "Gu, do you want to eat the home-cooked five-spice peanuts?"

Gu Mingxi also walked out with a smile.

Gu Xiuxiu grabbed a handful of peanuts, looked at the two of them with hatred in their eyes, who knew that after taking a sip, she couldn't help but boast: "This taste is really delicious."

"If you like to eat, you can take some back later." Gu Mingdong smiled.

Gu Xiuxiu sighed: "Don't mention it, Adongbi is really good at farming, and he is much more filial than your cousin."

After finishing speaking, he glared at Sun Guodong who was eating melon seeds: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, don't you know how to take the children out to see the relatives of the production team?"

Sun Guodong, who was being scolded innocently, looked up, saw his wife winking, and immediately reacted.

"Yes, yes, yes, I have to go around and chat, I haven't been here for more than half a year."

"Ah Xing, Achen, Xiaoyun, show me the way, I don't come here often, people will hardly recognize me."

Gu Liangxing asked strangely: "Grandpa, I'll just take you there."

"What nonsense, all three of you go." Gu Xiuxiu stretched out her hand to pull them up.

Four people were pushed out the door, and all three looked at Sun Guodong.

Since Sun Guodong suffered a major change, his health is not as good as when he was young, but his temper has become better.

Now he said with a smile, "Let's go, take my uncle for a stroll, or let's go to the orchard."

Gu Liangchen was keenly aware that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, he understood: "Grandpa, grandma, are you going to be a matchmaker for my dad?"

Sun Guodong was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands: "It's nothing."

Gu Liangxing also said: "This must be the case, otherwise why would we all be sent out."

Seeing that they found out, Sun Guodong said, "Hey, you have grown up too. You are all sensible and filial children. You should think about your father."

If you ask him, Gu Mingdong should also find another one. Firstly, he is not too old, and secondly, since the twins are already so old, it is impossible for him to be bullied by the stepmother behind him.

If you don't look for it all the time, won't you really become an old widower when you get older in the future.

Young couples come to accompany you when you grow old. Although they raise children to guard against old age, they only know that when they are really old, the people who will accompany you have to be husband and wife.

Gu Liangxing subconsciously glanced at his younger brother, scratched his hair and said, "If Dad is willing, we don't object, right, Ah Chen?"

There was no objection on Gu Liangchen's face, he just said: "Dad doesn't have that kind of thought."

"It's fine if you don't object." Seeing that the two children supported him, Sun Guodong was relieved.

"Back then your father was young, so he could actually find another one, but he was always worried about the two of you being bullied, so he insisted on not letting go. Now that you are older, he must have less scruples in his heart."

Gu Liangxing also vaguely remembered what happened back then. Anyway, for a while, my aunt and third grandmother always helped their father introduce a partner, and once brought him to the house.

At that time, he was still afraid in his heart, afraid that his father would not like them if he married a new wife.

Looking back now, Gu Liangxing finds it funny: "Yes, we have all grown up."

Since Sun Guodong was going to go for a walk on the mountain, they really took him to the top of the mountain, but in winter, there was really nothing to see.

Gu Liangxing slowed down, and lightly bumped into his younger brother: "Ah Chen, you really don't mind."

Gu Liangchen rolled his eyes: "As long as Dad is happy, I don't care."

"That's not to worry you. If our father marries a new wife, he will have another child. After he has a child, he will have another little boy. Maybe he will put the two of us in second place."

As Gu Liangxing said, he seemed to have seen that scene: "Our father seems to like his daughter more. He is very good to Xiao Xie, and he is also good to Tingting."

"Hey, if our father has a daughter, then he can't spoil her to the sky. We both have to stand aside, and only Xiaoyun can compare."

Gu Liangxing rubbed his ears irritably: "There's so much nonsense."

Gu Liangxing caught his handle all of a sudden: "Are you worried?"

Gu Liangchen glanced at him, and still said: "It doesn't matter if Dad finds her again, as long as she treats our dad well, everything else doesn't matter."

"This is too false."

Gu Liangxing also fell silent, and suddenly, he lowered his voice and said: "Actually, Dad should go to another one and have a child of his own."

Who knew that these words hit Gu Liangchen's weakness, his face darkened, and there were knives in his eyes.

"Shut up if you can't speak, don't talk nonsense here."

Gu Liangxing knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly slapped his lips in regret: "I was talking nonsense, I didn't mean it."

But that unintentional sentence made the two brothers feel bad in their hearts.

Since returning from a trip to Daishan City, the two brothers had a question hidden in their hearts. Even though the answer was ready to come out, they both chose to turn a blind eye and listen to it.

The corners of Gu Liangchen's mouth were pursed straight, obviously not in a good mood.

After a long time, he said: "No matter what you think, I will always be his son, my own."

Gu Liangxing was also anxious after hearing this, and quickly explained: "Ah Chen, what do you mean by that, I didn't say no, I just think our dad..."

At this time, Gu Yun in front noticed that the two of them were walking more and more slowly, and looked back.

Sun Guodong also greeted: "Why are you two young men walking so slowly, you are not as good as an old man like me."

Gu Liangchen quickened his pace to follow, Gu Liangxing who was left behind felt aggrieved in his heart, he admitted that he hadn't thought of what he said just now, but he really didn't mean that.

The father-son relationship for so many years is not fake. Even if he is not as fond of his father as his younger brother, Gu Liangxing still has only one father in his heart.

He just simply felt that it would be fine for his father to remarry and have another child of his own.

Gu Liangxing quickly followed, he secretly glanced at his younger brother, but Gu Liangchen refused to look at him.

Gu Liangxing held his breath in his heart, lowered his head a little annoyed, and didn't want to coax his bad-tempered brother anymore.

For the first time ever, the brothers are locked in a strange cold war.

On the other side, the old Gu family.

Gu Mingdong finally knew why Gu Xiuxiu looked like he was on the battlefield. Just as Sun Guodong left with the child on his front foot, Third Aunt Gu also came over on his back foot.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law sat on the same bench, watching the elder nephew covetously.

Gu Mingdong secretly thought that it was not good, and stood up: "Gu, third aunt, you talk, I will go to the backyard to pick some cucumbers."

"Pick some cucumbers, sit down." Gu Xiuxiu said hastily.

Gu Mingdong showed helplessness, and simply opened up and said straightforwardly: "If you bring up the old matter again, then you don't need to open your mouth. My meaning is still the same as before."

Gu Xiuxiu sighed, and took his hand: "A Dong, you have the same thoughts, but the situation is different."

"What's different?" Gu Mingdong asked back.

Gu Xiuxiu snapped her fingers and said, "Anan got married and started a business, and was away from home for more than half a year. Xiaoxi and Xiaobei went out to study, and it is impossible for them to come back in the future."

Gu Mingxi opened his mouth.

Gu Xiuxiu stopped her and said, "Even if you want to come back, will the country agree to it? Can the university talents cultivated with great difficulty return to Shanghe Village to farm the land if they don't contribute to the country's construction?"

This makes sense, Gu Mingxi pursed his lips, looked at his elder brother and said nothing.

Gu Mingbei also swallowed his words.

Earlier, Gu Mingdong meant the same thing. He could send his two younger sisters to study, but he didn't expect them to come back. Why come back? Shanghe Village is suitable for him, but not for the two sisters.

Seeing that they all agreed, Gu Xiuxiu continued: "The tree has big branches. The younger brothers and sisters will all have to separate when they grow up. Look at your first three children. They will also take the college entrance examination next year. It doesn't matter whether they pass the exam or not. , it is unlikely to stay at home."

Gu Mingdong nodded, and said helplessly, "Gu, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Adong, what do you want to say, Ah Xing and Ah Chen have grown up and are about to leave home soon. Once they leave, you will be the only one left in this house."

Gu Xiuxiu added: "Look at how big this house is, there are many rooms, and they will all be empty by then, don't you think it's deserted to live alone?"

Gu Mingdong understood why something that had not been mentioned for many years was brought up again this year.

"Gu, I don't feel lonely, and I like it too."

"Don't lie to Auntie." Gu Xiuxiu disagreed very much, "You like children so much, you even like children from other people's families, you are so coaxed that Xiaoxie wants to run to the village when you have time."

Gu Mingdong felt that he couldn't speak clearly even if he had a mouth.

Aunt Gu also said: "You like Tingting too, and you like Ayang Xiaoyue from Anan's family. The children in the production team know that Uncle Adong likes children, and he likes to come here to play because you will feed them. drink, and never curse."

Gu Mingdong had no choice but to explain: "I gave them food and drink just to keep them from making trouble. Children's screams are annoying."

And why he likes Xiao Xie and Gu Ting, it's because the girls are obedient and sensible, if they play around, Gu Mingdong will definitely take a detour.

But Gu Xiuxiu said earnestly: "Don't explain it, everyone in Shanghe Village knows that when it comes to petting children, you are ranked second, and no one dares to rank first."

Third Aunt Gu hurriedly said: "You like other people's children, let alone your own children, now that Ah Xing and Ah Chen have grown up, don't you want to have more?"

Gu Mingdong quickly refused: "Gu, Third Aunt, you have misunderstood, I really don't like children that much."

"Besides, other people's children can be teased from time to time, just give them something delicious. My own children have to be raised from childhood to adulthood. I finally brought up the three children. Now I can let go of them. Where can I get them again? Get yourself in trouble."

"How can a child be troublesome?" Third Aunt Gu disagreed very much.

Gu Mingdong said firmly: "I really don't like children."

Gu Xiuxiu pursed her lips, and said helplessly, "It's fine, fine, if you say you don't like it, you don't like it."

After the first move failed, Gu Xiuxiu immediately took out the second move.

"Adong, who cooks in your family now?"

Gu Mingdong was keenly aware of his aunt's intentions.

Gu Xiuxiu said again: "When Xiaoxi and Xiaobei are away, is it Xiaoyun who is cooking?"

Gu Mingdong couldn't deny this point. In fact, he was a good cook, but Gu Yun was diligent and always finished all the work first.

"When Xiaoyun leaves home to study, you will be the only one left at home. Then you will have to work in the fields every day, and you will also have to be busy with the orchard. When you get home, you will have to cook by yourself, wash the dishes, and do the laundry by yourself. Clothes, clean up by yourself."

Third Aunt Gu immediately helped and said: "Don't underestimate these housework, it looks like it's all piecemeal, and it takes a lot of time to do it, usually a day is over if you don't pay attention."

"You have to listen to me and your third aunt on this point. We are used to doing housework, and sometimes we feel tired and busy, not to mention you are busy all by yourself."

Gu Mingdong scratched his cheek: "I'm alone, eat and live as I please, without wasting time."

"You can live as you want, and you can eat as you want?" Gu Xiuxiu disagreed very much, "Eating and drinking are the most important things in a person's life. If you can even eat casually, then what will your life be like?"

"Xiaoxi, Xiaobei, do you think this is the case?"

The Gu family sisters who were brought into the battle looked at each other, imagining the scene, it was indeed desolate.

Sometimes in college, the two sisters would talk about this matter, but now that they are brought by Gu Xiuxiu, they can't help but agree.

When Gu Mingdong saw it, he knew that the two younger sisters had been instigated, so he quickly stopped her: "Gu, marriage is a lifetime thing, and it's not just about finding someone to do laundry and cook."

"I didn't say that I would only wash and cook for you. You can still talk and chat at ordinary times. If you want to have children, you can have children. If you don't want to have children, if there is one more person in winter, the quilt will be warm."

Gu Mingdong had a headache.

Third Aunt Gu also said: "You are still young and strong, and you don't know the hardships of getting older. It will be too late when you are really old."

The ability was a little displeased, and jumped out and bounced on his forehead, as if I was still there.

Gu Mingdong was so amused by it that he couldn't help laughing.

Gu Xiuxiu frowned, and continued to persuade: "You are still laughing now, really when you are old, you can't even walk, and there is no one around you who knows the cold and the hot?"

Gu Mingdong asked back: "When it really comes to that time, can my Xing Chen ignore me?"

"No matter how bad it is, can my brother and sister ignore me?"

Gu Mingxi plucked up his courage, raised his hand and said, "Sure."

Gu Xiuxiu glared at her: "Don't hold back, you will be next."

Gu Mingxi immediately retracted his head.

"Can a son be the same as his wife?" Gu Xiuxiu did not hesitate to use her own son as an example, "Just say your cousin, he is filial and works well, but after getting married and starting a business, he is busy with work, taking care of the children, and taking care of the father-in-law's family. How can there be so much time to see us two old ones?"

Third Aunt Gu also agrees with this point: "Yes, yes, it's the same for protecting the family and defending the country. When the children grow up, they will have their own home. It's enough for them to live well. How can we ask them to stay by our side all the time. "

Gu Mingdong asked: "Gu, Third Aunt, it's useless to have a son according to your intentions."

Even though Gu Xiuxiu and the others were ready, they were also stunned by these words.

Third Aunt Gu reacted quickly and quickly said: "My son is not good, but my daughter is also good. How caring."

Gu Xiuxiu was afraid of being obsessed with this topic, so she quickly changed her mind and continued, "I'm not talking about my son and daughter now, but I want you to think about it when you get older and old, and there won't be many people around you who know the cold and the hot." alone."

Gu Mingbei listened beside him, nodding vigorously.

But Gu Mingdong said: "Gu, Third Aunt, I know that you have good intentions, I am afraid that I will be old and have no one to rely on, and become a lonely old man with no one to take care of."

"But that was a long, long time later. I believe that neither Ah Xing, Ah Chen, or Xiao Yun, or even Anan, Xiaoxi, and Xiaobei, would have seen such a thing happen."

"Even if they are unreliable, I will save money these years and ask someone to take care of me when I really can't walk anymore."

Gu Xiuxiu was in a hurry: "Can hired people be more considerate than husband and wife?"

Gu Mingdong said again: "I'm so old, why are you still willing to marry me now? Is it because I'm old?"

Gu Xiuxiu was speechless for a moment.

Third Aunt Gu was overjoyed: "How old are you? You still look like a young man. If you go out and say that you are brothers with Ah Xing and Ah Chen, people will believe you."

Gu Mingdong said: "Third Aunt, don't you see that you are contradicting yourself? On the one hand, you say that I am not young, and someone will take care of me in the future, but on the other hand, you say that I look young."

"Then am I old or young?"

Gu Xiuxiu was dazed by him, and said helplessly, "Whether you are old or young, you must have a companion."

"I have. There are so many people in Lao Gu's family and so many people in the production team. Didn't you also say that the children in the production team are willing to play with me? Are so many companions not enough?"

"I'm talking about this companion, a companion who can accompany you to eat and sleep."

Gu Xiuxiu was so anxious that she didn't even think that the two sisters were still alive.

Gu Mingdong said helplessly: "But I don't want to."

"I just like to sleep alone. I don't want to lie next to me. It's hotter in summer, and I have to fight for the quilt in winter."

Gu Xiuxiu couldn't talk to him, and said angrily, "You're full of nonsense, Adong, will you listen to my aunt's advice?"

Gu Mingdong was straightforward: "I'm not listening well."

"Then have you heard it?"

Gu Mingdong smiled, obviously just passed it after listening.

Gu Xiuxiu finally understood, even if the two of them talked about it, Gu Mingdong didn't plan to bloom.

Suddenly, Gu Xiuxiu stared at Gu Mingxi.

Gu Mingxi was startled, and quickly said, "Gu, I'm still studying."

But Gu Xiuxiu said: "A Dong, look at you, look at you, if you don't get married, Xiaoxi and Xiaobei will follow your example."

"You are a man, it doesn't matter if you are a little bit earlier, but Xiaoxi Xiaobei is a girl's family, what if they all learn from you, will they still marry in the future?"

"Girls are different from men. If you are thick-skinned, you are not afraid of others talking about you, and if you are cold-faced, others dare not talk about you, but girls will be gossiped. What will you do in the future?"

Third Aunt Gu also said: "It's not like this now. Others envy Xiaoxi and Xiaobei's high education, but they will also talk about them as old girls."

Gu Mingxi's face darkened, and he snorted coldly: "Just say it, I'm afraid of them, I just don't like them."

Gu Xiuxiu immediately said: "Look, look, Xiaoxi is like this now."

"Gu, what's the matter if I don't get married? I didn't bother anyone. They didn't raise me for a day. I just want to have a good time in my life. Why should I care about those who don't like me?" Gu Mingxi said again.

When Gu Xiuxiu heard this, she felt a splitting headache.

"What will you do when you get old if you don't get married?"

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Gu Mingdong was aware of the ideological gap between the two generations. Gu Xiuxiu, Aunt Gu, and even the production team couldn't understand their approach at all.

He glanced at his younger sister, and felt that Gu Xiuxiu's firepower would be concentrated on her if he continued to talk like this, so he quickly said, "Gu, aren't you just afraid that I will be alone, I have a way to solve it."

Gu Xiuxiu's headache and leg pain stopped immediately: "That's what you said."

Gu Mingdong nodded, and said, "Just wait and see, I promise you won't be alone."
