Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Chapter 102

Master Qian frowned, looking preoccupied, it didn't look like he had good news.

Gu Mingdong also couldn't help frowning: "Master Qian, is there something wrong with the transportation team?"

Gu Mingnan's hands are actually recovering well, after all, they are healthy and young, and they are fed with good food and drink.

But at that time, the doctor said so badly, Gu Mingdong was also worried from the bottom of his heart.

Master Qian knew that he had misunderstood as soon as he heard it, and quickly explained: "No, no, it's not that, Anan is now an active member of the transportation team, and the team will definitely not treat him badly."

He glanced back, and happened to see his unhappy daughter happily asking Gu Mingnan what he likes to eat, sighed and said: "The transport team is still the same as before. If Anan's hands can be raised well, just transfer them to him." If the regular worker is not well maintained, the transportation team will not leave it alone, and let him do the logistics."

Gu Mingdong must be thinking, if the transport team really backtracks, Gu Mingnan, who is careless, will probably be hit hard.

It's not impossible to find another job, but it can be seen that he lost his job after doing a good job. Gu Mingnan might not be able to maintain his current optimistic attitude.

Seeing Master Qian's expression of embarrassment, Gu Mingdong immediately understood, raised his eyebrows and asked, "It's not about the transportation team, so what is Master Qian trying to say?"

Master Qian gritted his teeth, pulled him and asked, "A Dong, your brother is not young anymore, do you have any plans in the family, does he have a girl he likes?"

Gu Mingdong thought it was true, with Qian Xiaoru's attitude towards his silly brother, Master Qian really couldn't sit still.

During the time in the hospital, Gu Mingdong also came into contact with Qian Xiaoru, and thought that this girl was not bad, she was generous, and what was even more rare was her full-hearted admiration for Gu Mingnan.

But he thinks it's useless, the younger brother wants to marry the daughter-in-law, and the main thing is that he likes it.

Gu Mingdong said categorically: "Anan is only 17 years old, and he is still a bit childish. He seems to have no idea. As an older brother, I also think that it is better for a boy to start a career before starting a family. I have not urged him."

When Master Qian heard this, he felt more relieved, as long as he didn't find a good partner.

Although Gu Mingnan also mentioned that he didn't have a date, Master Qian cared about his daughter and thought too much, for fear that the Gu family had already made arrangements.

"Seventeen years old is not too young. My eldest son was born when I was 17." Master Qian sighed and said insinuatingly, "Young people nowadays get married later than we did back then, but if you don't look for them all the time, wait Waiting for all the good girls to be snatched away, don't you think?"

This good girl naturally included his daughter Qian Xiaoru.

If it was possible, Master Qian would also like to keep his daughter for a few more years, but thinking that Gu Mingnan had just been discharged from the hospital, Qian Xiaoru thought of a way to come and have a look.

Gu Mingdong agreed very much: "That's true, but Master Qian has also seen the situation in our family. I am powerless, so I might as well let my younger brother fall in love freely. Anyway, now they all like to fall in love freely."

As for the object of the younger brother and sister, he is responsible for the final palm of the eye, and he doesn't want to participate too much.

When Master Qian heard this, he subconsciously objected: "That's not good, what's so good about free love, young people see each other right for a while, who knows whether the opposite is a human or a ghost."

After thinking about it again, it was wrong, and added a sentence: "Of course I found some good ones."

She wondered in her heart, if her daughter married Gu Mingnan, would that count as free love.

Thinking of this, Master Qian glanced at Gu Mingdong again, and asked, "Ah Dong, whether it's a family arrangement or free love, Anan will have to get married sooner or later, don't you think?"

Gu Mingdong smiled and asked back: "Master Qian suddenly asked this, do you want to help him lead the red line?"

Master Qian was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved his hands: "Where can I lead people, just ask casually."

Although her daughter liked Gu Mingnan wholeheartedly, it was a disgrace for the woman to speak up about this kind of thing.

Master Qian was very conflicted in his heart. First of all, he also liked Gu Mingnan very much. He felt that this child would come to trouble, and his work was very steady. What's more rare was that he had a good character and his daughter liked him. He was a very good son-in-law candidate.

But it happened that his own daughter was rushing, and Gu Mingnan didn't seem to have that kind of intention, which made Master Qian very uncomfortable. Besides, the conditions of the old Gu's family were also a bit difficult, and Master Qian was not worried in his heart.

Master Qian changed the topic, and smiled awkwardly: "Anan is my apprentice, I don't care about his life affairs."

Gu Mingdong also laughed: "It's because I, the older brother, didn't do a good job that Master Qian was worried."

"Where is it? It's hard to find a good brother like you in this world." Others didn't know, and thought that Gu Mingnan took all his salary to subsidize his family, but Master Qian knew the inside story.

Gu Mingnan's elder brother helped him find the job, and Gu Mingdong could drive by himself, so he just gave up the opportunity to his younger brother, so it can be seen that he is definitely not the kind of bad guy who sucks his blood.

As long as it is a reasonable family, poorer conditions are the next best thing.

If the old Gu's family was in chaos and the whole family threw themselves on Gu Mingnan to suck blood, then no matter how much his daughter liked him, Master Qian would still beat the mandarin ducks, and it would be hard for such a family to marry into the family.

Fearing that Gu Mingdong might misunderstand it would be a bad thing, Master Qian explained: "I'm just asking casually, nothing else."

Gu Mingdong naturally knew that he was inquiring about this for his daughter, so he said: "Fortunately, Master Qian mentioned it, and I just remembered that Anan should have reached the age to talk about marriage."

"He has a good job, and it's the right time to talk about marriage. However, the first house at home is really difficult to live in, so we have to plan earlier."

Master Qian's eyes moved slightly, but he was too embarrassed to ask too much detail, otherwise it would appear that he was in a hurry to marry his daughter.

The old father was very complicated and hesitant.

The next moment I heard Gu Mingdong say: "According to me, it depends on who Anan's future daughter-in-law is, what kind of work she does, and where she lives. If both husband and wife are workers and are in the city on weekdays, then find a way to get married in the creek. It is practical to get a house in Yuanzhen."

When Master Qian heard this, he immediately became happy. He didn't expect the old Gu's family to be so open-minded and even willing to find a house for Gu Mingnan in the city.

You must know that parents these days want their children to be by their side. Firstly, it is difficult to settle down in the city, and secondly, they also hope that their children can take care of themselves at home.

Thinking about it again, Master Qian understood that Gu Mingdong was the eldest brother, not his real father, and he didn't expect his younger brother to be by his side at all.

Before he could be happy, Gu Mingdong continued to say:

"If his wife is a member of the production team, there is no need to bother. He can directly ask the team leader to approve the land and build another house. The two families can take care of each other if they live close together."

"Then how can it be done?" Master Qian subconsciously said, and then explained, "I mean that Anan has finally gone to the city to find a job, and he will soon become a regular worker. The conditions are so good, I must find someone The conditions are better."

Master Qian hinted: "A Dong, you have to ask Anan to open his eyes and search carefully, maybe there is a suitable one around you?"

Gu Mingdong smiled, nodded and agreed.

From the bottom of his heart, he also felt that Qian Xiaoru was a good match. Master Qian always took good care of Gu Mingnan, and his family was easy to get along with. What was even more rare was that the conditions of the old Gu family were not good, but Master Qian did not firmly object.

It can be seen that the Qian family may be worried, but at least they didn't kill him with one shot, and they are obviously quite satisfied with Gu Mingnan, otherwise Master Qian would not bring Qian Xiaoru to the door today.

As for being picky, Gu Mingdong felt that it was justifiable. If he had a daughter and married someone with much worse conditions than his own, he would not have to be very worried.

But it's still the same sentence, it's the younger brother marrying the wife, it's useless if he likes it, Gu Mingnan has to like it himself.

After Master Qian finished speaking, he also knew that his performance was too obvious, so he laughed and did not continue.

The hero and heroine in the room didn't know anything about the conversation outside, Gu Mingnan was already able to get up and walk around by himself, and now he was pointing the country in the kitchen with his right arm hanging.

"Third Sister, cut your shredded meat a little thicker, if it's too thin, you won't be able to taste it."

"Yes, yes, add more soy sauce, add more sugar and vinegar."

"Hey, you cut the radish in the wrong direction, you have to cut it vertically, so that it tastes crisp."

Gu Sanmei annoyed him so much that she couldn't help but say, "Gu Er Er, you are enough, can you cook, and you can direct me blindly."

If the second child was so annoying, Gu Sanmei would have kicked him out a long time ago. Today, it was because of Qian Xiaoru's face that she didn't drive him away directly, but Gu's second child opened the dyeing room when he got the color.

However, Qian Xiaoru even went to hold his stinky feet, blushing and said: "What Brother Anang said is quite reasonable, why don't we try it."

Gu Sanmei looked at her inexplicably, thinking to herself that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Qian Xiaoru's eyes seemed to be covered with eye feces.

If it weren't for her own brother, Gu Sanmei felt that he would not have said a word to him when he met such an annoying person.

Seeing someone helping, Gu Mingnan got excited: "Gu Mingxi, you should learn from Xiaoru, and you must accept other people's suggestions with an open mind. Otherwise, your cooking won't be as delicious as Fourth Sister's. You just don't know how to learn."

Gu Simei sized up the two of them curiously, with gossip glimmering in her eyes, she held back her laughter.

Gu Sanmei almost threw the kitchen knife over, she held back her breath, and simply pushed both of them out: "Sister Xiaoru, you are a guest anyway, just give me a hand, go sit down and have a rest , second child, you can talk to sister Xiaoru."

Qian Xiaoru was about to say you're welcome, but she didn't object when she heard the second half of the sentence.

Both the twins and Gu Yun were stopped in the kitchen by Gu Mingxi, who made a booing gesture to them, and the three children suddenly widened their eyes curiously.

Gu Mingnan was kicked out of the kitchen, and he was still complaining: "The third child is getting worse and worse, I can't even give my opinion."

Qian Xiaoru blushed, glanced at him and said, "Xiaoxi also feels sorry for your injury, and wants you to rest well."

Gu Mingnan snorted twice, seeing her blushing cheeks, couldn't help asking: "Xiaoru, why is your face so red, did you burn it in the kitchen?"

Qian Xiaoru covered her face abruptly, faltering and fumbling.

Gu Mingnan hurriedly said: "Did the fire burn your face just now, Xiaobei, you can apply some cold water to Xiaoru's face."

Gu Mingbei subconsciously got up to go, but was grabbed by his sister: "You are stupid, don't go."

There was no movement inside, Gu Mingnan frowned and said, "I'll call you."

"No, no, no, I don't need it, I'm just a little hot." Seeing him holding his injured hand to fetch water, Qian Xiaoru hurriedly stopped him.

"Hot?" The wet and cold weather in Shanghe Village, where can it be hot?

Gu Mingnan felt strange, but thought that Qian Xiaoru had just helped to light the fire, and felt normal.

The two people's eyes collided, Qian Xiaoru lowered her head subconsciously, her face turned even redder, Gu Mingnan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in the atmosphere, and looked around, embarrassed to look at her.

Gu Mingdong and Master Qian happened to be walking back, seeing the atmosphere in which the two got along, he felt a sense of humor in his heart.

After lunch, Master Qian took Qian Xiaoru home soon.

Qian Xiaoru reluctantly sat in the back seat of the car, still looking this way from a long distance.

Master Qian had no choice but to remind: "Okay, don't look at it, you won't see a flower again."

Qian Xiaoru pursed her lips, lowered her head in frustration, and asked again: "Dad, what did you say to Brother Anan just now?"

"What can I say, is it possible to come to propose marriage?" Master Qian said angrily.

Qian Xiaoru's cheeks flushed red: "Dad, what are you talking nonsense, I'm just grateful to him."

Master Qian has seen through everything: "Really? Then I will ask your mother to introduce a good girl to Anan."

Qian Xiaoru was so angry that she turned her head and didn't speak.

Master Qian continued: "I think Xiaoping from your third aunt's family is not bad. She is one year younger than Anan and has graduated from high school."

"She's going to the countryside, where is it suitable?" Qian Xiaoru was not happy.

"Then the marriage happens to be able to stay, and your third aunt has to thank our family." Master Qian said intentionally.

Qian Xiaoru muttered angrily: "You are still not my father, you don't help your own daughter, you only think about my sister-in-law's daughter."

Master Qian snorted and said, "Didn't you say you were not interested in him?"

Qian Xiaoru became annoyed: "Dad, you know..."

Master Qian finally stopped teasing her, and just said: "A Dong is a reasonable brother who loves his younger brother. Whether you and Anan can get along depends on you."

Qian Xiaoru hummed, blushing and did not speak again.

Facing the cold wind, Master Qian's heart felt cold, he might not be able to keep this daughter.

Gu Mingdong thought in his heart that this little girl was pretty good, at least she cared about his younger brother very much. Judging from the conditions of the two families, if this marriage could be accomplished, it would be their younger brother who would be the best.

And seeing how the two of them were alone just now, Gu Lao Er seemed to be interested in Qian Xiaoru.

But when he looked back, Gu Mingnan was already stooping over the New Year's goods brought by Master Qian, and he was still heartless.

"Brother, come and take a look. There is a box of biscuits inside. It looks like it was produced in Shumei's factory. There is also a piece of bacon here, which is quite rich." Gu Mingnan said happily.

Compared with the small gifts that Gu Mingxi and the others sent, the transport team can be described as a big deal.

In addition to the three kinds of rice, flour and oil, there is also a pack of brown sugar, a box of biscuits and a piece of bacon, all of which are really good things.

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows. Gu Laoer's appearance is completely unresponsive. Could it be his illusion just now?

Walking over and taking a glance, Gu Mingdong also felt that the transportation team was very generous: "It's not bad, I don't have to worry about eating during the Chinese New Year."

Originally, they had bought a lot of new year's goods, and with the addition of the gifts from Gu Mingnan and Gu Mingxi, they couldn't finish this year even if they were open to eat, and they seemed very rich.

Gu Simei said before that she bought so many things that the cabinets in the kitchen couldn't fit and had to be put in the house. This is a sweet burden. Gu Sanmei said that the cabinets can be opened again, but things must not be missing.

Gu Mingnan flipped through happily, and then took out the brown sugar by itself: "Old San Xiaobei, take it and drink it."

Although he is careless, he also knows that girls need to drink brown sugar water when they grow up. In the past, his elder brother bought some from time to time. Gu Mingnan felt that as a man, he didn't need to drink brown sugar at all, so he gave it to his two younger sisters.

Looking at it this way, he can be considered a good brother.

When Gu Sanmei saw that it was brown sugar, she felt a little embarrassed.

Gu Mingnan was also a slob, and upon seeing this, he asked, "Yo, you're so thick-skinned, you're not ashamed of me right now."

Gu Sanmei just snorted coldly and didn't refute.

"Save the bacon for the Chinese New Year, but you can taste the biscuits first." This was the first time Gu Mingnan took things from his home, and before that, his wages were handed in directly.

He excitedly opened the biscuit box, which contained the most common fruit-flavored biscuits. It looked like a cardboard gift box, and the bright red packaging was very festive. After opening, there were several buckets wrapped in oiled paper, and each bucket was opened. There are 20 yuan.

It says fruit-flavored biscuits, but it looks like there is no filling and no fruit flavor. It is just sprinkled with a layer of white sugar. It is the kind of biscuit factory with the largest output and the cheapest price. Of course, it is considered a rare commodity these days. .

Gu Mingnan generously took out seven yuan, and no one gave up one piece for each person: "Try it all, these are the biscuits I bought with my blood and sweat for my brave deeds."

The twins took a bite and their eyes lit up: "It's delicious!"

Gu Yun froze for a moment, took a bite cautiously, but didn't eat it so fast.

Gu Mingdong also took a sip, and it tasted really good, but it was a bit sweet: "It tastes good."

Gu Simei said with a smile: "We have enjoyed the blessing of the second brother today."

"That's not true. If you like it, we'll spend money to buy it later. We'll eat all kinds of flavors." Gu Mingnan laughed.

While eating, Gu Sanmei complained about this elder brother: "How much money do you earn a month, what a shame."

"That must be more than you." Gu Mingnan said.

This is the truth, Gu Sanmei couldn't refute it, so she had to vent her anger on eating, and finished eating a big biscuit.

After eating one piece, Gu Mingnan smiled and handed her another piece: "It's delicious, eat slowly, there are more here."

After speaking, I asked others if they wanted it.

Gu Mingdong laughed, and the three of them settled the biscuit, and rejected his younger brother's invitation for another one: "I'm enough, you can eat more if you like it, after two years Anan gets married and has a child, it's hard to eat." gone."

Gu Sanmei understood, and said with a smile: "That's right, the second child will have to earn money to support the family, so he won't have spare money to buy things."

Gu Mingnan didn't realize what they meant, so he stuck his neck and said, "With the money I earn, I can buy whatever I want, even if I marry a wife, she can still control me."

"Then who knows, maybe you will become an ear rascal." Gu Sanmei thought that scene was also very interesting.

Gu Mingnan said categorically: "Impossible, I'm a man, so I must be the master at home, and my wife has to listen to me."

Thinking of Qian Xiaoru's adoring appearance, Gu Sanmei felt in her heart that it was really possible. Gu Erdi was a blind cat and a dead mouse, and he was lucky.

Gu Mingdong took the opportunity to remind him: "Second brother, take advantage of this time to rest at home, so you can think about the future."

Gu Erdi asked back: "What's going on in the future?"

Gu Mingdong tapped his forehead: "Marry a wife."

"Master Qian mentioned this matter just now, and asked what kind of food you like. Tell me, do you want big brother to help you find out?"

Gu Erdi covered his forehead and said, "Whatever suits your eyes is fine."

Gu Sanmei couldn't help but interjected, "Then do you think sister Xiaoru is pleasing to the eye?"

Gu Mingnan was stunned for a rare moment, and he hesitated for a while before saying: "She is Master Qian's daughter, that is, my younger sister, can you dislike her?"

Gu Sanmei sneered and said, "It's not my real sister."

Gu Mingdong coughed, stopped his sister from continuing, and only said: "Okay, let the second child think for himself, anyway, he is marrying a wife, so we don't need to worry."

"Then I'm not in a hurry..." Gu Mingnan muttered.

At the bottom of my heart, I couldn't help thinking of Qian Xiaoru, with her curved eyebrows and flushed white face, she seemed really pleasing to the eye.

After eating the biscuits, the family continued to tidy up the house. If it wasn't for the bad weather, Gu Simei would have turned out all the quilts and washed them again.

When they finally cleaned up the inside and outside, not even a single spider web could be found, the brothers and sisters of the Gu family looked at the clean house and immediately felt a sense of accomplishment.

The twins looked up at the room, and they all looked heroic, which made the older ones laugh.

Gu Mingnan couldn't help, so he said now: "Everyone is tired after work, eat another biscuit to refresh yourself."

After speaking, without giving them a chance to refuse, I went to open the biscuit box and started sending out.

Gu Sanmei couldn't help but say, "Alas."

"I just asked you if it tastes good?" Second Brother Gu asked with a smile.

Gu Sanmei stopped talking, but Gu Simei said, "It's delicious, so let's save it and eat it slowly. It's a waste to eat it all in one day."

Gu Mingnan immediately said: "It's so tiring after working for a day, eat some good supplements."

When the biscuits were handed out, Gu Mingnan felt strange: "Where is Xiaoyun, why is it missing?"

Gu Liangxing raised his hand: "I know, after cleaning up just now, Xiaoyun said that she went out to play."

Gu Simei is a little strange. Although Gu Yun can't speak, she has been extraordinarily well-behaved and sensible since she came to the house. It is even more worry-free than the twins.

After a long time, Gu Simei really loves Gu Yun as a little sister, and she doesn't seem to be going out to play at this time.

"Where did you go and when will you be back?" Gu Simei couldn't help being a little worried.

Gu Liangxing was a little confused, apparently not knowing where Gu Yun had gone, but Gu Liangchen said, "Come back soon."

Fourth Sister Gu wanted to ask again, when she heard her elder brother say, "I know where she has gone, don't worry, she will be back in a while."

Gu Simei didn't ask any further questions.

Where else could Gu Yun go, naturally she went to Zheng Tong secretly.

I just got the biscuit sent by Gu Mingnan, it's a big piece, bigger than a child's palm.

Gu Yun took a bite, it was fragrant and sweet, and the crispy taste filled her mouth, which made the little girl stunned.

She was reluctant to eat it all at once, so she secretly hid it in her pocket.

At that time, only Gu Liangchen saw it, and asked her: "Sister Xiaoyun, if you still want to eat tomorrow, just ask second uncle."

Gu Yun just shook his head.

Gu Liangchen looked at her, as if he had read her mind, and didn't say anything.

After finishing the work, Gu Yun secretly walked towards the thatched cottage.

When she arrived at the place, Gu Yun didn't dare to go in directly to find someone. She still remembered her grandfather's instructions to never let others find out that the two of them knew each other.

Gu Yun squatted behind the tree and waited patiently.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before Zheng Tong found an excuse to walk out of the thatched hut where the four of them lived together, as if feeling something in his heart.

Gu Yun suddenly jumped out from behind the tree. Zheng Tong had expected it a long time ago, and reached out to catch her, but before he could speak, a piece of sweet biscuit was stuffed into his mouth.

Zheng Tong's old eyes were sour, and he almost didn't shed tears.

[Grandpa eats. ] Zheng Yun gestured.

Zheng Tong endured the soreness in his nose and swallowed the crushed biscuit in his pocket, the sweetness mixed with bitterness.

"It's delicious. The biscuits that Xiao Yuner gave are really delicious." Zheng Tong stroked his granddaughter's hair with mixed feelings. He ate well and slept well at the old Gu's house. Gu Yun's face grew flesh and her hair also grew. Some, no longer prickly to the touch, but fluffy.

Seeing him eating the biscuits, Gu Yun showed a big smile: [There will be delicious ones in the future, and I will save them for grandpa. 】

Zheng Tong touched her little head: "Grandpa is getting old, his teeth are bad, and he doesn't like these sweet things, just eat it by yourself."

Before he was in trouble, did he have anything to eat at home? At that time, he was arrogant and thought he could ward off all disasters, but he didn't know that he was just a manipulator in the face of the storm, and he made his granddaughter suffer with him.

Now this small piece of biscuit made Zheng Tong's heart full of remorse.

Gu Yun seemed to understand his thoughts, reached out to touch Zheng Tong's cheek, and gestured: [Papa Gu is good, my second uncle, third aunt and fourth aunt are all good, and my brother is also good to me. I eat very full every day. 】

Only then did Zheng Tong show a smile: "There is no unparalleled road, Xiaoyun, don't worry about grandpa. Grandpa can take care of himself. As long as you take good care of yourself, grandpa will feel at ease."

The two exchanged a few words, Zheng Tong was afraid of being seen, and urged Gu Yun to go back quickly.

Gu Yun ran back in a hurry, but Zheng Tong stood on a high place and looked down worriedly. He didn't go back in peace until he saw his granddaughter running into the courtyard of the old Gu's house.

Seeing Gu Yun coming back, Gu Mingdong didn't ask much, just smiled and patted her little head.

Gu Yun smiled a little embarrassedly, turned around and ran into the kitchen to help.

Gu Liangxing chased after him and asked, "Sister Xiaoyun, where have you been playing, take me with you next time."

Gu Liangchen didn't follow, but leaned against Gu Mingdong, and asked softly in his ear: "Father, is sister Xiaoyun the granddaughter of the white-haired grandfather?"

These words surprised Gu Mingdong, after all they were very careful, even Gu Mingnan and his family members didn't know that Gu Yun was Zheng Yun.

Gu Liangchen added: "Sister Xiaoyun looks at the white-haired grandfather differently."

And every time my brother speaks ill of the old man, sister Xiaoyun is always very sad.

Gu Mingdong didn't expect his youngest son to be so sharp. He didn't deny it, but just pinched his nose: "This is our secret, we can't tell anyone, remember?"

Gu Liangchen nodded quickly: "I promise I won't even tell Ah Xing."

Gu Mingdong laughed, hugged the child on his lap and started talking.

Gu Liangchen shook his calf happily, in Gu Mingdong's arms, he talked a little more than usual.

While the old Gu's family was enjoying themselves, the Educated Youth Institute became lively.

Qian Zhiyi and Wu Mengting are back.

The author has something to say: the second brother is not yet enlightened

On the first day of squatting at home, I recommend a pre-received article——"The Imperial Examination Life of a Posthumous Child"

Collect it, come, come, come
