Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Chapter 141

"Brother, I have something important to tell you."

As soon as Gu Erdi opened his mouth, a blush appeared on his usually thick-skinned cheeks, and Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows slightly with his appearance of being a thief for fear of being heard.

"Xiaoru finally talked to you?"

Qian Xiaoru plucked up the greatest courage in her life to give away the wooden comb, but after sending it out, she became afraid, both worried that Second Brother Gu would not understand, and also worried that he would understand, but she didn't like herself at all.

Worrying about gains and losses, Qian Xiaoru simply became an ostrich and no longer appeared in front of Gu Erdi.

Now the second brother Gu was dumbfounded. He used to be in the transportation team, and he could see Qian Xiaoru every three days. He never thought that once Qian Xiaoru didn't come, the chances of seeing her would be very few.

The two of you are chasing each other, you advance and the other retreats, they have been procrastinating until now.

Gu Mingdong thought, with the second child's straightness, if Qian Xiaoru keeps avoiding him, the two of them go around and go around, and in the end they might still be destined to each other.

Who knew it would come out so soon.

Second brother Gu hurriedly said, "What are you talking about? Xiaoru likes me so much, how could she ignore me."

Gu Mingdong looked at him with a half-smile, with a face like you're just pretending.

Gu Erdi rubbed his nose: "It was an accident before. I have reflected on myself. As a man, let a girl tell me that I was wrong. Then I have figured it out now."

When he was not enlightened before, Gu Mingdong felt that his younger brother was like a fool, and Qian Xiaoru made it so obvious that he didn't notice anything, and treated each of them as his own sister.

But once he got the hang of it, Gu Mingdong was shocked by the power of action displayed by Gu Erdi.

Let's talk about Qian Xiaoru sending the comb, Gu Erdi spent the whole night, and immediately figured it out.

Qian Xiaoru looks good, has a good family background, and what's more rare, he also likes it. Before, he only thought that being a younger sister is good. She is gentle and sensible than the third child, so he is willing to be her big brother and stand out for her.

Now that I think about it, being a daughter-in-law is not bad.

The younger sister is going to marry, and will belong to someone else's family in the future, but the daughter-in-law belongs to her own family and can stay together forever.

Gu Mingnan was different from his elder brother who had no intention of remarrying at all. He was born and bred in the production team of Shanghe Village. He felt that when a man reached his age, he would definitely marry a wife. Since he wanted to marry a wife, he must marry someone who was pleasing to the eye.

Coincidentally, he was particularly pleasing to Qian Xiaoru's eyes.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Mingnan felt that this object could be dealt with.

As a result, on the second day, when he ran to the transportation team but didn't see Qian Xiaoru at all, Gu Mingnan was suddenly dumbfounded.

For several days, Qian Xiaoru did not appear in the transport team.

Gu Mingnan was originally an impatient person, so he scratched his head.

Finally couldn't bear to find Master Qian, he hesitated for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence: "Master Qian, why hasn't Xiaoru come over these days?"

Master Qian looked at his expression and laughed from the bottom of his heart. He kept watching his daughter chasing the boy, but he didn't expect this boy to be here today.

Master Qian, who rarely experienced the authority of the father-in-law, replied indifferently: "Xiaoru also has a job, how can she run to our transportation team all day long?"

Gu Mingnan became anxious: "Then she didn't always come to give you things before?"

"So I've been paying special attention these days, and I haven't left anything behind every day." Master Qian said hehe. He has a good memory. In the past, his daughter forced him to leave him at home and sent him over when he found a chance to watch the brat.

Gu Mingnan spent a long time beckoning around, but unfortunately he was not Master Qian's opponent at all, so he didn't find out any news.

He had no choice but to ask cheekily: "Master Qian, can you tell Xiaoru for me that I have something to ask her?"

Unexpectedly, Master Qian still didn't accept the offer, and asked with a smile: "If you have anything to do, just tell me, and I'll tell her when I go home?"

No matter how straight-hearted Gu Mingnan was, he knew that it would be wrong for his father-in-law to take the lead, so he blushed and stopped talking.

Master Qian had seen enough of the jokes, so he patted him on the shoulder vigorously: "Okay, I'll bring it for you tonight."

Gu Mingnan blushed like a monkey's ass, and he didn't dare to look at Master Qian's kind and kind eyes all day long.

That night, Master Qian really brought the words to his daughter: "Xiaoru, what's the matter with you two, I see that this brat seems to be enlightened."

Qian Xiaoru blushed, and pushed her father out in embarrassment: "Dad, don't worry about it."

"Leave me alone, you don't bother me." Master Qian scolded with a smile.

Turning around, she said to Qian's mother: "Looking at Anan today, I am quite interested, and I think our daughter will be able to do it with him."

"Really?" Mother Qian also exclaimed in surprise.

It's just that his daughter has been in unrequited love for too long, Gu Mingnan is like a foolish boy, and the requirements of the husband and wife are lowered a lot.

"Hey, there is progress. If we delay this afternoon, we Xiaoru will become an old girl. You said that this child is also stubborn, so you just look for this silly boy, Anan. This can be regarded as a good luck The moon is bright."

"What are you worrying about?" Master Qian hummed a little song to wash his feet, and said with a smile: "I just said, our family Xiaoru wants to have a good looks, a job and a job, how can I not take down a brat."

Now he wasn't worried at all, and he didn't see the frowning look he had earlier.

When the husband and wife are together, people are most afraid of comparison. Looking left and right, they think that Gu Mingnan is the most suitable son-in-law, especially Master Qian. He thinks that Gu Mingnan is the most motivated in the entire transportation team. He has a good character and the house is still clean. is the best candidate.

Mother Qian pondered for a while, and said, "The two of them are not young, how old is Anan?"

Master Qian pondered: "He was seventeen when he joined the transport team, and he will be eighteen this year."

Mother Qian clapped her hands: "It's the same age as Xiaoru, and they got married just after two years of dating."

"His birthday is late, so Xiaoru is still a few months older after careful calculation."

"How old is a few months, two people are the same age, so they can talk."

Master Qian also asked: "You said that if Xiaoru gets married, what dowry shall we prepare for her?"

"I've heard people say that the sewing machine is very easy to use. If we can get a sewing ticket, let's get one for Xiaoru. How respectable it is."

The couple were so excited that they even began to discuss the dowry for their daughter.

At the end, Qian's mother became worried: "Hey, when Xiaoru's marriage was not settled, I worried about her all day long, but now that it has been settled, I feel very uncomfortable."

"You said that my daughter is married, can I still go home for dinner every day like now? It's not like I won't see anyone for ten and a half months."

"If you are willing to let them go home for dinner every day, will they be happy?" Master Qian said.

Mother Qian glared at him: "Is being a girl the same as being someone else's wife? Even if Anan and Xiaoru are happy, others will have to gossip, and it will actually cause the young couple to quarrel."

Master Qian went to bed, and said helplessly, "You're thinking too far ahead, there's no plan yet."

Mother Qian patted him: "I'm just a daughter, and her two elder brothers are unreliable, so I can't think long-term for her."

Thinking of this, Qian's mother felt so worried that she couldn't sleep.

Qian Xiaoru next door also tossed and couldn't sleep, she was full of random thoughts all night, thinking that Gu Mingnan also liked her, her face flushed with joy, and then she felt that she would be rejected face to face, her face turned pale.

By the next morning, the little girl who looked like a flower bud seemed to have been beaten by frost.

Both Master Qian and his wife felt worried, but Qian Xiaoru hurriedly ate breakfast and passed away as soon as he gritted his teeth.

Standing at the turning corner not far from the transportation team, Qian Xiaoru was in a state of panic. She thought to herself, it would be the best if it could be done, but if it couldn't be done, then she would lose face and never Don't pester Gu Mingnan anymore.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time in the cool morning breeze, a ray of sunlight fell, like golden threads, illuminating the man who was driving over on a bicycle, and at the same time illuminating Qian Xiaoru's heart.

Qian Xiaoru still remembered this scene until her white hair was gray and her steps were faltering.

The sun shines gently on Gu Mingnan's body through the faint morning mist, making him seem to be covered with a layer of halo, as if he descended from the sky that day and pulled her out of despair.

As soon as Gu Mingnan saw the person standing at the intersection, he showed a bright smile, sweeping away the remaining haze in the girl's heart.

"You..." Both of them said at the same time.

"You talk first." Another damn tacit understanding.

Qian Xiaoru's cheeks were flushed, she was still as pale as before, she twisted her braids and said nothing.

Gu Mingnan coughed, it was rare for this man who was usually thick-skinned to be able to walk through walls, but now he felt a little embarrassed.

He felt he couldn't let the girl speak first, so he said first, "Xiaoru, let's date."

Qian Xiaoru didn't expect him to be so direct, so she froze for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Gu Mingnan continued: "I promise to treat you well. From now on, hang out with me, and we will establish a solid revolutionary friendship. If I have a mouthful of food in the family, you will have a mouthful of food. If there is only one bowl Broth, then you eat meat and I drink soup."

Before Qian Xiaoru could react, she was caught off guard by his series of words.

Seeing the scene of Gu Mingnan slapping his chest to be nice to her, Qian Xiaoru felt for a moment that the two of them were not looking for a partner, but a kind of pawn, blood alliance.

Seeing that she was dumbfounded and silent, Gu Mingnan was at a loss for words for a while, wondering if he had said something wrong.

He pondered for a while, then tentatively said: "If you don't like meat, then you can do anything else."

Qian Xiaoru finally came to his senses, with joy in his eyes: "No, I like meat."

Gu Mingnan smiled reassuringly, and he thought how could there be anyone in the world who doesn't like to eat meat: "Then let's put it this way, let's get married from today on."

Qian Xiaoru nodded her head like a pounding garlic, she was afraid that she could not help laughing when she opened her mouth.

Who knew that she didn't speak, but her stomach was growling, who made Qian Xiaoru come out after only drinking a bowl of porridge for breakfast, which made the girl feel ashamed and annoyed, she lowered her head and dared not look at her new partner.

Gu Mingnan patted the back seat of the car: "Come up."

Without further ado, Qian Xiaoru got into the car directly, not afraid of what Gu Mingnan might do to her, she trusted him wholeheartedly, and only blushed and grabbed his clothes.

Gu Mingnan turned around directly and drove Qian Xiaoru to the state-run hotel. He jumped out of the car and asked Qian Xiaoru to wait outside.

After a while, when Gu Mingnan ran out again, he had two big buns in his hand and stuffed them directly into the girl's hand: "Please eat."

Qian Xiaoru subconsciously took a bite. It was a solid big meat bun. The craftsmanship of the state-run restaurant was good, and it tasted delicious.

"Brother Anang, you can eat too." Qian Xiaoru held up a big meat bun.

Gu Mingnan was not polite either, he went down and killed half of them in one gulp: "You eat the rest, I ate it in the morning."

Qian Xiaoru's cheeks were flushed, knowing that Gu Mingnan must have heard her stomach growling, so he brought her here to eat meat buns.

Sitting on the back of the bicycle, Qian Xiaoru sipped, and cherished the remaining half a big meat bun.

When Gu Mingnan sent her straight to the gate of the factory, Qian Xiaoru came back to her senses. She jumped out of the car and was about to speak, but she burped first, and her face flushed with embarrassment.

Gu Mingnan just smiled and said, "Come on in, I'm off to work."

After speaking, she left like the wind again. Qian Xiaoru was full of sweetness at the moment, and walked into the factory gate bouncing around.

When she came in, she met a coworker she was familiar with, and asked who sent her here, Qian Xiaoru was not shy, and said openly, "That's my partner."

After listening to his younger brother's story about his love history, Gu Mingdong felt embarrassed.

Gu Mingnan was also very proud, and said in a shy voice: "Brother, I will have a partner in the future. I plan to talk for two years before getting married. When you get married and have children, you will be an uncle."

Gu Mingdong said: "Are you thinking too far?"

"How could it be so far away?" Gu Mingnan said, "Anyone who doesn't intend to get married is a hooligan. Xiaoru is still a few months older than me. We will be nineteen next year. I'm not in a hurry when the time comes. Anxious."

These words were beyond Gu Mingdong's expectation, but this silly brother could see clearly.

Gu Mingnan continued: "If you get married, you can't have children, and if you have children, you can't raise them. Hey, it seems that I have to save money in the future, and I can't just buy whatever I want."

Gu Mingdong was surprised by his younger brother's change. When he was talking about a single person, his lavish temperament changed.

As a result, the next moment, Gu Mingnan said: "However, it is too difficult to save money, brother, I have thought about it carefully, and I should study auto repair hard, and it would be better to try to make more money at that time."

Gu Mingdong patted his forehead, and said to his younger brother earnestly: "A'nan, treat Xiaoru better in the future, otherwise people will think that you have lost your tune, and you will not find such a good girl."

Apart from Qian Xiaoru, there is probably no one who can tolerate Gu Mingnan's unconstrained style, escape from childishness once in a while, and still be full of admiration.

Gu Mingdong felt in his heart that it was a rare happiness in the world to find someone who liked him and whom he also liked to start a family.

Gu Mingnan didn't understand what he meant, so he patted his chest and assured: "Of course, everyone will be their own people in the future, so of course we should treat our own people better."

So much so that Gu Mingdong glanced at him suspiciously: "You know what a daughter-in-law does, right?"

Gu Mingnan said strangely: "Of course I know, a daughter-in-law is one who marries and goes home to live. I have never married a daughter-in-law. Haven't I seen others marry a daughter-in-law?"

Gu Mingdong let out a sigh of relief, always feeling that he couldn't talk too much with his second child, and he would be led astray if he talked too much.

In the end, he patted Gu Mingnan on the shoulder: "Very well, since you've already started dating, you're an adult, and you have to make plans for your future."

"That's for sure, my wife and children have to be supported by me." Gu Mingnan said.

"Who is going to marry a wife?" Gu Sanmei poked her head out and asked.

"Second brother, are you dating sister Xiaoru?"

Gu Mingnan replied with his head held high and his chest held high: "That must be done, you just wait for one more sister-in-law."

Gu Simei also heard it, and said with a smile: "That's a good relationship, I like sister Xiaoru."

"The fourth brother has good eyesight, exactly the same as mine." Gu Mingnan said with a smile.

Gu Liangxing opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Second Uncle, can you even marry a wife?"

Gu Mingnan hugged the little guy and scratched his armpit, and said with a smile: "I'll let you run on me, brat, and when I give birth to a son, I'll throw it to you, and if I can't bring it well, I'll deduct your pocket money."

Gu Liangxing laughed out loud at being teased by him, begging for mercy.

Gu Sanmei shook her head helplessly: "Where did sister Xiaoru fall in love with him?"

Gu Mingdong said: "The second child is also pretty good, at least he has responsibility."

Moreover, although Gu Laoer always talks about running on his sister, he actually loves her more than anyone else, which is different from the men who favor sons over daughters these days and don't respect their wives at all.

Gu Sanmei had a look of disgust on her face, but she also said, "That's right, the tall one among the short ones."

At least compared to the people who admired her, Gu Sanmei also felt that her second brother was much better than others, even if she spoke too irritatingly, she wondered if sister Xiaoru would regret finding a stick in the future.

There was so much noise in the room, Gu Mingdong simply moved a chair and sat at the door.

After a while, Gu Liangchen also came out from inside, moved a small stool and sat beside him, imitating his appearance and looking at the sky.

Gu Mingdong was amused by him, and reached out to stroke his son's hair: "Why don't you go to see the little rabbit."

"Second uncle and elder brother are too noisy." Gu Liangchen said.

"Dad, will the second uncle move out after he gets married? Then we won't be able to see him every day?"

Gu Mingdong didn't expect him to think so long-term, and said with a smile: "When we build a new house at the end of the year, we will build your second uncle's new house together."

"However, your second uncle works in the transportation team, and Xiaoru also has a job in the town. It's okay now. When they get married and have children in the future, it will definitely be inconvenient to live in the production team."

From Gu Mingdong's point of view, it must be more convenient to buy real estate in the town. He has no idea of ​​keeping his younger brother by his side at all. The fragrance is far away and the smell is near. Even if Qian Xiaoru is a gentle and kind person, his biological brothers and sisters live together for a long time. Yes, there are still contradictions.

Especially in the future, younger siblings and daughter-in-law will also have children, and Gu Mingdong will feel a headache when he thinks of the scene of a large crowd of children clamoring.

It's a pity that real estate can't be bought and sold privately now. There are almost no houses in Xiyuan Town that are willing to rent out.

If Gu Mingdong is willing to make great efforts, he can find a suitable house, but he feels in his heart that he has already sent his younger brother to the transportation team, and if he continues to take care of everything, he will not be able to raise his son.

Anyway, Gu Mingdong is too lazy to expend such effort, it is only reasonable to let the second brother Gu solve it by himself.

In this way, we can only wait for the housing allocation in the factory, which depends on luck.

Gu Liangchen held his chin: "Then I won't be able to see my second uncle, and I will miss him."

Seeing his younger son's young and mature posture, Gu Mingdong laughed: "Children have to start a family when they grow up, just like a bird will leave the nest and build a new home when it grows up, but no matter how far away we are, we are still a family. "

Gu Liangchen turned his head to look at him, and said firmly: "Dad, I don't want to leave home, I want to stay by your side for the rest of my life to take care of you."

Gu Mingdong was amused again, and he simply reached out and hugged his youngest son on his lap, pinched his plump palm: "It's good if you have this heart."

Gu Liangchen leaned into his arms, put his arms around his neck and asked, "Dad, will you find us a stepmother?"

"Why, do you want a stepmother?" Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows and asked.

Gu Liangchen hesitated for a moment, looking a little nervous, but still said: "If Dad likes it, then I like it too."

Gu Mingdong sighed helplessly. They were obviously twins who were brought up in exactly the same way. Why did the eldest son jump around like a monkey all day long, only thinking about what to eat at night.

The youngest son is keen and thoughtful, and what happens outside the house will always make him think of more.

Reaching out to pat his youngest son's back, Gu Mingdong said with a smile: "Just you dads already have a headache, and I don't want to add more people to the family."

As for the younger brother's marriage, he just kicked out the door and set up his own family.

When Gu Liangchen heard this, he laughed happily, but felt that he shouldn't, and promised again: "I will always be by Dad's side."

Gu Mingdong didn't answer, but just slowly patted his back, the supernatural power poked his head out curiously, imitating Gu Mingdong's movements, and patted the child's head once and for all.

Gu Liangchen leaned against his father's warm and generous arms, feeling extremely at ease, suddenly seemed to have sensed something, wanted to touch his forehead with his little hand, but put it down again.

Gu Mingdong didn't notice this little episode, because Gu Liangxing finally got rid of his second uncle's control, ran out da da da, saw his younger brother lying on top of his father, and immediately became sour.

"I want it too, I want it too." Gu Liangxing yelled, pushing hard against him.

Gu Mingdong was very helpless, so he could only hug each other, and owed nothing to anyone.

Gu Yun looked at this scene with some envy, Gu Simei smiled, and kept the girl in her arms: "The brats are stinky, let's ignore them and go feed the little rabbits, okay?"

Gu Mingnan found a partner, and his whole person became different.

In Gu Sanmei's words, it's like a donkey with a carrot hanging in front of it, finally has a goal to move forward.

Gu Mingdong is happy to see it succeed.

With the joint efforts of the members, the autumn harvest of the production team in Shanghe Village has finally come to an end.

The golden grain was piled up on the grain drying field, and the joy of the harvest made the commune members tremble under their feet, wishing to dry the grain immediately, and the rest after paying the public grain would be everyone's.

Gu Mingdong is busier than the commune members who are keen on wandering around the grain drying field. He has to prepare for his new house.

Gu Mingdong didn't plan to build two mud houses casually, but wanted to imitate Jin Laowu and directly build green bricks.

Bricks, timber, tiles...

I don't know if I don't move, but after I move I realize that there are a lot of materials to be prepared, and the bricks and tiles alone are enough for Gu Mingdong to toss about.

Fortunately, the two brothers had a wide range of roads, and soon found a place where they could buy bricks and tiles.

It was at this moment that Gu Xiuxiu went home with a happy face.
