Chapter 210 Vicious
Two trips back and forth in one day, did Gu Mingdong return to Xiyuan Town by stepping on the moonlight?
The ability is obviously not willing, and now he is holding its small leaf and waving it angrily, baring his teeth and claws.
Gu Mingdong had no choice but to comfort her in a friendly voice: "You see, people can live for at most 100 years, and now she is almost 70, you can eat that little bead in [-] years at most."
"Anyway, we've been waiting for so many years, and I didn't see you complaining in the last days."
"Little guy, you can't be too greedy. She's already out of luck, and she can live a stable life for a few days. Do you have the heart to eat relics and turn her into a lunatic?"
The ability hummed, turned the blade and didn't want to talk to him.
Gu Mingdong squeezed its leaves, and said with a smile: "You can feel it too, the relics on her body are not big, and it won't help you much if you eat them. If we want to eat, we can eat the big ones. You wait a little longer." Wait, the master will get you a big sum in two years."
Really?The ability was quickly coaxed.
Gu Mingdong smiled: "Then we've agreed, don't worry, it will be yours sooner or later."
Only then did the ability dissipate, climbed onto Gu Mingdong's head, and kissed his cheek affectionately.
With supernatural powers as his companion, Gu Mingdong was not lonely at all when he rode his bicycle on the country roads at night.
As the moonlight fell, Gu Mingdong suddenly turned his head, frowning slightly uncertainly.
The woman who just lowered her head and hurriedly walked towards Xiyuan Town looked like Wu Mengting, she was still holding an envelope in her hand.
Gu Mingdong paused for a moment, and quickly continued to head home, after all, he was not interested in Wu Mengting's affairs.
Who knew that as soon as he got close to Shanghe Village, Gu Mingdong heard noisy noises and fireworks from the old house: "What's going on?"
"Dad, you're back." Gu Liangchen shouted in surprise.
"The old house is on fire, luckily no one is inside."
Without saying a word, Gu Mingdong also joined the crowd fighting the fire.
Looking again, all the members of the production team came, one by one holding basins and buckets to pour water here, but the fire was very strong.
Fortunately, the water source was close to Shanghe Village, and soon, with the concerted efforts of the production team, the fire was finally extinguished slowly.
The Gu family's old house is made of good materials, but most of them are made of wood. Now the sky is dry and the things are dry, and when it is extinguished, the house will be burnt out of shape.
Everyone was exhausted and out of breath, Gu Jianguo supported his back, and only then did he have time to ask: "Old Wu, why is it on fire? Did you burn something before going out?"
Wu Wei also didn't know why, so he subconsciously looked at Zhou Zijin.
Zhou Zijin frowned and said, "Impossible, I cooked rice, but there was no fire in the stove, how could it be lit?"
Gu Mingdong took a closer look at the fire, frowned and said, "This fire didn't start from the kitchen. You see, the back room burned the most."
"The back room?" Wu Wei hurriedly said, "How can we light a fire in the back room on such a hot day?"
Moreover, the husband and wife had only left for a while, and the fire started directly, and ordinary fires would not burn so fast.
A guess emerged in Wu Wei's heart, his face sank, and he really didn't want to think badly about his niece.
Even if she doesn't resent the cold treatment of their husband and wife, Wu Mengting shouldn't do this. After all, what good will it do her?
Wu Wei didn't want to think of people as bad, so he tried his best to thank the members who came to help, and then he came to clean up the mess.
"Comrade A Dong, you lent us the house with good intentions, but who knew that such a thing happened, I am sorry for you." Wu Wei assured.
"When I return to the city and I can receive my salary, I will definitely send money back as compensation."
Gu Mingdong didn't care about this old house, he just said: "It was originally going to be demolished and rebuilt, but now it saves effort."
But Wu Wei insisted: "You don't have to, but I can't refuse to give. Otherwise, I will not repay my kindness, which violates my principles of life."
Zheng Tong also said: "A Dong, you just agree, otherwise Lao Wu will not feel at ease when he leaves."
Gu Mingdong had no choice but to agree.
Only then did Wu Wei heave a sigh of relief, and became troubled again: "The old house is gone, where will Mr. Zheng live in the future?"
"If you don't stay with the educated youth, anyway, the educated youth in our production team have almost left, and the house is empty." Gu Jianguo didn't like the educated youth, and felt that they were happy when they left.
Other production teams stopped the educated youths from returning to the city, but he wished that the youths would leave as soon as possible, so now the house is mostly empty.
But Gu Mingdong said: "Let Mr. Zheng live with me first, otherwise he is too old to live there alone."
After saying this, Gu Jianguo couldn't help reminding: "Would it be inappropriate, just in case..."
Now it seems that the environment is relaxed, and even those who have been sent down have begun to be rehabilitated one by one, but who knows what will happen in the future.
Just because Wu Wei and Zhou Zijin can be rehabilitated doesn't mean that old man Zheng is fine. Gu Jianguo is worried that this matter will affect his eldest nephew in the future.
Gu Mingdong insisted: "Don't worry, third uncle, it won't happen."
"That's fine, let's talk if someone raises an objection." Gu Jianguo had no choice but to agree.
Zhou Zijin yelled in surprise: "Too bad, all our things are still inside."
After finishing speaking, he ignored the sparks that were still lit, and rushed in to find something, but was stopped by Wu Wei: "Forget it, it's all burned like this, how can I still find it?"
Gu Jianguo said helplessly: "Then what should we do now, I'm afraid all your things will be burned."
It's nothing else, but there are still documents from above in it, so it's hard to make up for things that are gone.
Wu Wei hurriedly said: "The certificates of household registration and food relations can still be issued. As for the documents, we will go to the town to ask the leaders to issue a temporary certificate."
"Anyway, the rehabilitative documents were issued by the superiors. When we return to Beijing, there will still be a way to deal with it."
After saying this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhou Zijin almost sat down.
Wu Xuanxuan hurriedly supported her: "Mom, don't be afraid, the certificates can be reissued. Even if it's a bit troublesome, we can still go back."
"Fortunately, fortunately." Zhou Zijin breathed a sigh of relief, and said in surprise, "Your admission letter is still inside, it's not easy to make up for it."
Thinking of her daughter's hard work for more than a year, she finally got admitted to the university, and she became a lot thinner because of this. If she couldn't go to university due to negligence, Zhou Zijin's tears would fall.
Wu Xuanxuan comforted her in turn: "It's okay, let's go to Beijing earlier and explain the situation to the school. They can't just abandon me as a student just because I lost my admission letter."
Gu Mingdong was listening to their words, and suddenly remembered the scene just now.
He didn't think it was a coincidence: "Old Wu, on the way back just now, I met Wu Mengting. She left in a hurry and seemed to be holding an envelope in her hand."
So far, but the three members of the Wu family are not fools, so they quickly realized it.
Zhou Zijin gritted her teeth and said, "Whatever she wants to do, she won't let us have a good time."
"Well, why does this have something to do with Wu Zhiqing?" Gu Jianguo was a little surprised.
Wu Wei hurriedly asked: "Captain, is Wu Mengting's food relationship still in our production team? Does she need your help to issue a certificate if she is going to Beijing?"
Gu Jianguo said, "She is married to the city, so she should be allowed to drive by me, but if her man's street gives her a certificate, she can still leave."
After all, the control is not as strict as before, especially now that more and more educated youths are returning to the city, and the control of this area is becoming more and more loose.
Zhou Zijin grabbed her daughter's arm tightly, with fierce eyes as if she wanted to eat someone: "It must be her, she must have stolen Xuanxuan's notice, and burned the house to destroy the evidence."
Gu Jianguo wondered: "But what does she want your daughter's notice to do, and it's not her name, so it's useless if she takes it away!"
Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows: "That's not necessarily true."
"If she has a way to get an identity certificate, how about using Xuanxuan's name to register at the school? The admission letter only has a name and a serial number. There is neither a photo nor detailed information. It is easy to impersonate."
"This..." Gu Jianguo didn't quite understand, but he was shocked.
Wu Wei and Zhou Zijin thought the same way. Now they even felt that Wu Mengting had already thought about it before she came, so she didn't have an attack on the spot before, and waited for a day to guard the door, and waited for everyone in the room to leave before she went in and stole the admission. Notice.
In the end, in order to destroy the evidence, or let them waste time, they even directly burned down the house with fire.
"I'm going to chase her now, and I will definitely get the things back." Wu Wei shouted.
Gu Mingdong lent him his bicycle, but still said: "When I ran into her just now, I was almost in Xiyuan Town. If I had taken the notice, she would definitely leave overnight, and I wouldn't wait until the Dongchuang incident happened."
"Then you have to try first." Wu Wei chased after him with a sullen face.
A few people waited anxiously. There must be no people living here. The good guy Gu Mingdong sent them to the west, and simply asked them to go to the old Gu's house to rest. Anyway, the three of Wu's family will leave soon.
After waiting for a while, Wu Wei came back with a dark face.
"No one was found."
Wu Wei wiped his face, frustrated and sad: "I went to the family she married, and the man said that she hadn't been admitted to college, and she cried and clamored to go back to her hometown to have a look, and he agreed with a soft heart."
"The certificate was issued over there, and Wu Mengting left with only the money ticket and a few clothes."
This was obviously premeditated, otherwise Wu Mengting would not have made these preparations. Wu Wei finally knew that the niece's visit was not for pleading at all, and she knew that they would definitely not agree, and she might have been eyeing her daughter's notice long ago. Book!
Zhou Zijin gritted his teeth and said, "No, Xuanxuan, we have to go to Beijing immediately."
Wu Wei also looked at Gu Jianguo: "Captain, I have to ask you to help me get a certificate."
"No problem, I can call you now." After Gu Jianguo finished speaking, he frowned again, "But you two have special identities, and the proof from the production team may not be enough."
"Let's ask Secretary Wang, he will definitely agree." Zhou Zijin shouted.
Seeing this, Gu Jianguo had no choice but to help them get a certificate first.
Before leaving, he asked, "Should I report this to the police?"
Wu Wei's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Gu Mingdong.
Gu Mingdong shook his head and said, "We have no evidence, and reporting to the police will only make it more troublesome."
After thinking about it, Wu Mengting didn't know where he went, and it was useless to report to the police, so Gu Jianguo gave up his idea.
The Wu family couldn't stay anymore no matter what, and regretted in their hearts that they shouldn't have waited so long after receiving the admission notice, but now something happened instead.
Seeing them running around in a hurry, Gu Mingbei put his arms around Wu Xuanxuan and said, "Xuanxuan, I'll go with you. I'm also a student of Peking University. If she arrives first, I can talk to you."
"I'll go too. Isn't it just an admission letter? I don't believe she can still pretend to be a horse." Gu Mingxi said the same.
"Xiaobei, Xiaoxi, thank you." Wu Xuanxuan was moved with tears in her eyes. Her biological cousin was full of malice towards her, but in Shanghe Village, she met many good people.
They are not real sisters, but they have surpassed real sisters.
But Wu Wei was more worried. He knew the character of the Wu family, and Wu Mengting would definitely think of things they could think of. He didn't know what was waiting for them.
"Xiaoxi Xiaobei, I know you are kind, but there is still a month before school starts, as long as we rush there earlier, we will definitely not let this happen."
Zhou Zijin glanced at Wu Wei and immediately understood.
Her heart skipped a beat, if Wu Mengting was pushed to the extreme and directly pulled out the Wu family's affairs, their redress would be in vain.
I hated it so much in my heart, but Zhou Zijin also said: "Yes, I can't waste your time in vain."
Wu Xuanxuan glanced at her parents, her eyes flickered slightly.
The Gu family sisters didn't know why, so they continued to talk, but they were interrupted by Gu Mingdong: "Their clothes are all burned, and I'm afraid they won't be able to wear them again after picking them up. Go and search through the boxes and find two sets of clothes for replacement."
Gu Mingxi glanced at his elder brother, and dragged his younger sister into the house.
Gu Mingbei said strangely: "Third Sister, Xuanxuan is afraid of troubling us, but we are not afraid of being troubled."
"Hush, I'm afraid there are other things in it, we don't want to get involved."
Outside, Wu Wei laughed miserably: "The housework has become such a mess, it makes you laugh."
Zhou Zijin gritted her teeth: "What about housework, we have nothing to do with her."
Gu Mingdong just turned around and took out the money and tickets: "You take these first, and you will definitely need them then."
Wu Wei only accepted a part, which was only enough for three people to travel from Shanghe Village to Beijing: "This is enough."
"Adong, I know your kindness, but Zijin and I still have a few good friends in our hometown. Your kindness is already enough. If there is more, I will not be able to repay it."
Gu Mingdong didn't force him either.
Zhou Zijin wiped the corners of his eyes, and said: "We are comrades who met by chance, and they can still lend a helping hand, but some people..."
But Wu Xuanxuan suddenly said, "Dad, Mom, we didn't meet by chance. These people in Shanghe Village are all my friends, very important friends."
Both Wu Wei and Zhou Zijin were taken aback for a moment, but a burst of shame welled up in their hearts.
On the contrary, Gu Mingdong didn't care, after all, his relationship with Wu Wei and the others was indeed not as good as that of Zheng Tong.
Soon, Gu Jianguo sent over the freshly released certificate, and Wu Wei and the three thanked each other. The three of them didn't want to wait any longer, and slowly left Shanghe Village hand in hand.
Gu Mingbei sent them all the way out of the village. After walking a long way, Wu Xuanxuan turned to look at her and shook her hand vigorously.
When she returned home in a low mood, Gu Mingxi joked: "What are you doing so sad? When the summer vacation is over and we go back to school, we will be able to see Xuanxuan then."
Gu Mingbei nodded: "That educated youth Wu is too hateful to do such a thing."
She vaguely remembered that during the college entrance examination before, the two sisters were also worried, for fear that their notice would be claimed by others, but fortunately it was delivered to them safely in the end.
Gu Jianguo was also amazed when he heard it, and asked in surprise: "A Dong, does such a thing really exist?"
"It's written in black and white on the admission notice, can this still be claimed?"
Gu Mingdong explained: "If someone intercepts the admission notice, changes the name and reports directly, the school will not find out for a while."
Gu Jianguo immediately said: "Then I have to remind Ah Yong quickly, he finally passed the exam, and then don't be impersonated."
Gu Mingxi smiled and said, "Third Uncle, Ah Yong's notification letter has been received, how can others pretend to claim it?"
"Oh, that's right." Gu Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief.
At the end, he said: "There were 22 people in our production team who applied for the exam this year, but in the end, three of them passed the exam. Do you think there will be someone here who passed the exam and was falsely admitted?"
Gu Mingdong couldn't answer the topic: "How would I know that?"
Gu Jianguo sighed: "Someone dares to do such a thing, isn't it lawless, and he is not afraid of being found out and shot immediately."
After all, Gu Sanshu was still worried in his heart. If it wasn't for the school's report time, he would have wanted to urge Gu Yong to go out quickly.
As soon as Uncle Gu left, the old Gu family finally quieted down.
Zheng Tong had already arrived, and Gu Yun was busy inside and out, quickly tidying up a room for her grandfather.
Fortunately, the old Gu's house had enough rooms to accommodate him.
Zheng Tong was always cheerful, and said with a smile: "Then I won't bother you in the future."
Gu Mingxi was the first to be happy: "Teacher, it's good that you are willing to move here. Once Xuanxuan and the others leave, you will be left alone there. We were not at ease at first."
She glanced at Gu Yun: "Xiaoyun is already thinking about moving there to take care of you."
Zheng Tong looked at his already slim granddaughter, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and it is destined by heaven."
After being free, Gu Liangchen had time to ask: "Dad, where did you go just now, and you came back so late."
Gu Mingdong saw that Zheng Tong was looking at him cheerfully, waiting to look at the foolish child.
"What nonsense, your dad has business to do." Gu Mingdong patted his son's forehead.
Gu Liangchen covered his forehead, and said helplessly: "I'm not worried about you, what's worth your running back and forth."
Gu Mingdong changed the topic with a smile: "I just happened to be free, so come and see what I brought back from Shanghai."
Hearing this, other people really gathered around.
So Gu Mingnan's family went to the mother-in-law's side, not at home, and missed this moment.
Gu Liangxing asked excitedly: "Dad, did you also buy bell-bottom pants?"
Gu Mingdong said with a smile: "Buy whatever is fresh, you guys can choose by yourself, take what you like, and leave the rest to the second child."
Gu Mingxing cheered: "Then I'm not welcome."
While they were watching the excitement, Zheng Tong asked him with a smile: "Did you find anyone?"
"I found it." Gu Mingdong thought for a while and added, "No need."
Hearing this, Zheng Tong took another look at him, and nodded in praise with a smile that was not a smile: "People, only with kind thoughts in mind and restraining greed can go far and go long."
"Don't feel bad, blessings are destined."
Since Gu Mingdong has already made a decision, he doesn't feel distressed right now, and naturally he won't regret it.
On the contrary, the Gu family's old house was burnt down, the back room and the kitchen were all burned down, only the westernmost house was better, but it was baked by fire and watered, and the walls couldn't support the tilt.
The next day, Gu Mingdong took his two sons over there to search, and rescued some indestructible enamel pots, broken iron pots, etc. Zheng Tong's house had an iron-clad wooden box.
The iron-clad wooden box was also burnt to the point of peeling off, and the wood was obviously unusable due to swelling, but the contents of the box were fine.
Zheng Tong opened the box with a smile, and besides a few pieces of clothes, there was the bronze tripod that Gu Mingdong had given before.
Other than that, they are all small things. It looks like the handicrafts that Gu Yun gave to her grandfather since she was a child. There is also a small figure made of mud inside, which is torn apart by the fire.
Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows, and simply moved him to his new home.
The three of them had a hard time, and the old house became even more dilapidated.
"Dad, can this still be fixed?" Gu Mingchen asked.
"I'm afraid it won't work well, so I can only tear it down and rebuild it." Gu Mingdong said helplessly.
Before he finished speaking, he heard a commotion and quickly dragged the twins out of the house. Soon, the beams creaked and collapsed the next moment.
Gu Mingdong laughed: "Yes, it will save us effort."
At this time, Gu Jianguo came over, with his hands behind his back, feeling a little melancholy: "This house was built by your grandfather's generation. Later, your grandfather became a soldier and had money in his hand, so he renovated it again."
"Let's talk about this beam. Your grandfather took me to several villages before buying it from an old carpenter. He said that it will be fine for 100 years."
"Hey, who knows how many years have passed, and the house is gone first."
Gu Liangchen comforted: "Third Grandpa, it's not that the wood is not good enough, no matter how good the wood is, it can't stop the fire."
"That's right." Uncle Gu nodded, still a little melancholy in his heart, "You guys were all born in this house."
Gu Liangxing also said: "That's true, except for A-Yang and A-Yue, we were all born in this house."
This old house is accompanied by the birth, old age, sickness and death of the Gu family.
Gu Mingdong looked up at the collapsed house, but he just felt refreshed, and said with a smile: "If you don't go to the old one, you won't come to the new one."
"Third uncle, I want to remove the wood and bricks that are pressing on it first, and I will discuss the rest with Anan when he comes back."
Uncle Gu also nodded in agreement: "Alright, you all have new houses, but A Xing and A Chen have grown up, and sooner or later they will build a new house. This land is good and it is close to your home. .”
Gu Mingdong did what he said, and took the twins to start digging houses.
The bricks and logs that can be used are put on one side, and the rest are piled on the other side, and the logs that are really bad are used for fire.
Gu Liangxing waved the iron rake vigorously, but Gu Liangchen felt something was wrong, he picked up a piece of wood and squeezed it: "How could this be?"
"what happened?"
"Look at this wood." Gu Liangchen handed the wood to his father and elder brother.
"It was supposed to be good wood, but it has rotted like this in just a few years, and it shattered when squeezed lightly."
Gu Mingdong frowned slightly, took it over and saw that it was indeed so.
The wood looked good on the outside, but it was already decayed inside. Even if it wasn't for this fire, these beams with only surface light wouldn't last long.
Gu Liangxing also said: "Did our grandpa be tricked into using wood with moths as beams?"
Gu Mingdong squinted his eyes, and a doubt emerged in his heart: "Go on."
Gu Liangxing picked up the iron rake and hammered it down hard. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound from the ground.
Gu Liangxing took a closer look and asked in surprise, "What is this?"
It turned out that he was too strong just now, and he hammered through the ground at once, revealing the metal box underneath.
