Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Chapter 221

"One cent, two cents, three cents..."

"One, two, three..."

"21, 22... 25 thirty-five dollars."

Gu Liangxing counted the money he earned after a busy day, and his eyes became brighter and brighter: "No wonder everyone wants to do small business, so it makes money so much."

Gu Liangchen poured cold water on the side: "You haven't deducted the cost yet."

"That's right." Gu Liangxing calculated carefully. Their vegetables are good, but if they don't want to buy anything they see, the price is higher than others.

But the problem is that vegetables are limited, once or twice is okay, he can't sell all the vegetables grown by his father and younger brother, and sell what their own family eats.

The calculations in his head were running fast, and Gu Liangxing said regretfully: "If you really want to count the cost, the vegetables that you and Dad spent so much effort on growing are all sold at a low price today."

Gu Mingdong was listening, but he boasted with a smile: "It's not a cheap sale, it can be compared to someone who works for a month."

It's like Gu Baoguo's hard work at the recycle bin, and only a little money for a month.

In comparison, their own dishes continue to cost nothing, only labor, earning 25 a day is already against the sky.

After being praised, Gu Liangxing became happy again: "The main thing is that the vegetables grown by Dad are good, not me boasting. It is very difficult to eat a bite of fresh vegetables at this time of year."

In summer and autumn, cucumbers and tomatoes are cheap, and they can’t be sold at any price, but now it’s winter, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, who doesn’t want to have a bite of fresh ones.

Gu Liangxing had no idea at first, but after standing at the intersection for a while and chatting with the first few guests, he knew that the city was different from their countryside.

Most of the people in the town have serious jobs and usually save some money, so they are naturally willing to spend money.

Gu Liangxing straightforwardly divided the money into four parts, put the extra change in one part, and pushed it in front of his own father.

"Dad, this is your share."

"Ah Chen, this is yours."

"Xiaoyun, this is yours."

Gu Mingdong couldn't help laughing: "Why did you give me the hard-earned money?"

"This is the cost I paid, and I can't take yours for nothing." Gu Liangxing laughed.

Gu Liangchen also laughed: "Then you can just give it to Dad, I don't need it."

After finishing speaking, he pushed the money back, lest the boss work hard all day and end up with a fraction of himself.

Gu Yun also said: [I don't want it, brother keeps it for himself. 】

"That won't work, it's agreed that everyone who meets will have a share." Gu Liangxing refused.

Gu Mingdong smiled and said: "Ah Xing, this is your first income, you can keep it yourself, and it is not bad for future capital."

"But……"

"Don't worry about it." Gu Liangchen put the money away and put it in his pocket, "We are not short of such a little money now, and I am still waiting for you to make a fortune so that you can sponsor my research."

Gu Liangxing suddenly became happy, put his arms around his neck and said, "Then let's talk about it like this."

Since he made money from doing small business on the first day, Gu Liangxing became more motivated. The joy of being handed money to him has surpassed eating and has become Gu Liangxing's favorite thing.

For this reason, he even made a special trip to live in Xie Nanshan for a few days, planning to study hard with his uncle.

Seeing this, Xie Nanshan was overjoyed, turned around and said to Gu Mingdong: "Your son is born to do business, or if you let him follow us, it will definitely be much better than making small troubles now."

Gu Mingdong just smiled: "Let him make his own decision."

When Xie Nanshan heard this, he went to discuss it with Gu Liangxing.

"Your father doesn't object, how about it? Follow uncle, uncle will never treat you badly."

Who knew that Gu Liangxing thought about it for a few days, and then directly refused.

This surprised Gu Mingdong and asked him, "Why didn't you agree? I thought you liked doing business very much."

Gu Liangxing nodded and admitted: "I like it very much, but uncle and cousin are doing very well. One is in charge of the inside and the other is in charge of the outside. What should I do?"

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

Gu Liangxing also said: "The most taboo to do business is to partner with people, even relatives. Cousin and the others are naturally good, but Dad, you also know my dog ​​temper. When we get along for a long time, the relationship between relatives will be weakened. .”

These words made Gu Mingdong laugh: "You are very self-aware."

Gu Liangxing nodded: "That's not true, this is one of my few advantages."

Gu Mingdong smiled and said, "That's not right, my son has many advantages."

Gu Liangxing smiled innocently, very happy in his heart, and said: "And I still have to study, and now I work with my uncle, I'm afraid I'll regret it later."

"Dad, I'm still young, don't worry."

Just a few words made Gu Mingdong feel a lot of emotion, his family is careless, blah, always not a serious eldest son, and he has grown up unknowingly.

It was not surprising for Gu Liangchen to say such calm words, but Gu Mingdong was shocked when they came out of Gu Liangxing's mouth.

In the end, before he could feel a few more emotions, he heard Gu Liangxing say again: "I am an eagle destined to take off, I can't keep hiding under the hen's belly, I'm useless."

Gu Mingdong noticed something was wrong, and narrowed his eyes: "Who do you call a hen?"

Just as Gu Liangxing was about to answer, his eyes sparkled: "Of course it's my cousin. When he heard that I wanted to learn how to do business, he really wanted to teach me by hand, just like a hen with chicks."

Gu Mingdong snorted and let him off for the time being.

Gu Liangxing exaggeratedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and began to press his shoulders with dog legs, and said with a smile: "Dad, it's mainly because I still have you. You are the spiritual pillar of our old Gu family. As long as you are here, son There is the spirit of not being afraid of failure."

"Anyway, my dad can't let me starve to death, can he?" Gu Liangxing asked with a smile.

Gu Mingdong was amused by him: "Stinky boy, there is no truth in his mouth."

"Isn't that true?" Gu Liangxing said hastily, "everyone from ten miles and eight villages knows that this is what my father farms!"

He gave a thumbs up: "If it wasn't for the sake of becoming the pillar of the Gu family and shining a light on the lintel, I would be reluctant to leave Shanghe Village for the delicious food grown in your hands, and would like to be your little follower for the rest of my life."

Seeing that exaggerated posture, Gu Mingdong couldn't help but touch his forehead.

Secretly thinking that with such a calm personality, why he could raise such a flamboyant son, this must be influenced by Gu Mingnan and Xie Nanshan.

Who made one of them escape, and the other was greasy, which spoiled a good child.

"Dad, what is your expression? Are you despising your own son?"

Gu Liangxing quit, leaning on his shoulder and shaking vigorously: "Don't dislike me."

Gu Liangchen, who was watching all this, couldn't bear to look directly at it, so he quickly moved his eyes away, watching Gu Yun wash his eyes, he couldn't stand Gu Boss more and more, how could such a good big brother say so many disgusting words.

Gu Yun snickered and gestured: [Brother is really fun. 】

Gu Mingdong also expressed that he couldn't stand it: "Boss, can you talk properly? Be normal."

"What's wrong with me?" Gu Liangxing asked strangely, "Dad, don't you like this one the most?"

"Where did you draw the conclusion?" Gu Mingdong was surprised.

Gu Liangxing said confidently: "Thank you there since I was a child, once she acts like a baby, Dad, you will agree to everything."

Gu Mingdong didn't want to look at him, so he frowned and turned away.

Gu Liangchen had no choice but to remind: "Brother, please take a look at how old you are, how old is Xie Xie, how tall you are, thank you how tall you are."

Can a tall and thick man with a long beard look at it? Gu Liangchen felt that the eldest brother was insulting Xiao Xie, and he had the evidence.

Gu Liangxing was still playing tricks over there: "You guys are discriminatory."

Gu Yun couldn't help but said: [Next time I will tell you thank you, Brother A Xing imitates her to act like a baby. 】

Gu Liangxing couldn't hold it back any longer, and laughed so hard that he rolled forward and backward, and said, "You don't understand, I'm called Caiyi Yuqin."

With such a living treasure around, the old Gu's family never had a quiet time.

Gu Mingdong sometimes felt that this child was too lively, like a monkey that never had a quiet moment, jumping up and down gave him some headaches.

Whenever he was troubled by the turmoil, Gu Mingdong looked forward to the college entrance examination earlier, so he let the little eagle fly away quickly, and stop nestling in his hen's nest.

Zheng Tong liked it very much, and said: "Young people are full of energy, what a great thing."

After finishing speaking, he still looked at Gu Mingdong: "Look at yourself, you are not very old, you are not sick or in pain, is it as interesting as an old monk to live all day, you don't have the vitality of a young man."

Gu Mingdong's answer was to take a sip of tea slowly, and said: "After all, I am a father, so be calm."

Zheng Tong looked at him and smiled meaningfully.

The weather is getting colder and colder, but the young eaglets of Old Gu's family have not been able to fly away, but the two little swallows who have been away from the nest for half a year are coming back.

Gu Mingxi and Gu Mingbei calculated the time early, bought gifts and train tickets in advance, and when the school was on holiday, the two of them packed up their things and went home non-stop.

Lin Lu saw it, and couldn't help joking, "I've never seen anyone who is more family-loving than the two of you."

Gu Mingxi said with a smile: "It's a pity that you have to go home during the Chinese New Year, otherwise I will invite you to our house to play."

"Yeah, our side is great, the scenery is good, the people are good, and the skin gets better after living here for a long time." Gu Mingbei added.

Lin Lu was also moved when she heard it: "Really, then let's make an agreement, I will go to your house to play next summer vacation."

"Then it's a word."

The two sisters left in a hurry without stopping. Lin Lu packed up her things and was about to go home, but when she turned around, she saw that Zheng Yuyu hadn't moved at all.

She asked strangely: "Yuyu, aren't you going home?"

The Spring Festival is always different. Chinese people pay attention to the reunion during the New Year. Although some students are far away from home and don’t even go back during the summer vacation, there are very few who don’t even go home during the New Year.

Zheng Yuyu was reading a book, when she heard this, she paused and said, "Let me read it again."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lu knew that she really didn't intend to go back, so she took advantage of the situation and said, "Then do you want to come to my house?"

Zheng Yuyu shook her head: "It's inconvenient for those who celebrate Chinese New Year."

"If there is any inconvenience, my parents definitely don't care." Lin Lu invited again.

Zheng Yuyu still firmly refused: "Let's wait until later, Lulu, don't worry, the school is pretty good, I heard that many students don't plan to go home, and we won't be alone when we live together."

"Alright then." Lin Lu couldn't force it either.

Soon, the dormitory became quiet, leaving only Zheng Yuyu alone.

She couldn't read the book anymore, she just sat there quietly, and tears started to fall as she sat there.

Lin Lu has parents and a home where she can go back anytime; although Xiaoxi and Xiaobei's parents died young, they have elder brothers who love them; but she is different, she has no home.

After a long time, Zheng Yuyu sniffed, wiped away her tears, and picked up the book again.

She knows that only by studying hard and graduating smoothly, can she have the future, maybe in the near future, she can have the home she dreamed of.

But sometimes, Zheng Yuyu is really envious of her three roommates, because no matter what, they are not alone, and they have supporters and their families behind them.

The envied Gu family sisters have already boarded the train non-stop at this moment. Just like when they came, the two sisters also packed a lot of bags when they returned home.

There are not only the salutes of the two of them, but more gifts for the family.

The subsidy for college students is not too much, but their room and board are all in the school, and they can’t use it up in a month. From the second year on, the two sisters started making up lessons for others, working as translators, and earning more or less.

On weekdays, they were reluctant to be extravagant, but when they returned home, they bought them as gifts.

Because both sisters knew that if they took the money home directly, the eldest brother would definitely not accept it.

But buying them as gifts is different, they are all food and clothing, so I can't let them take them home as they are.

The train clanged and rattled and finally arrived at the county seat.

The two sisters walked down with a big bag on their shoulders. As soon as they reached the bottom, they heard a voice: "Xiaoxi Xiaobei."

Looking up, it was Gu Mingdong who was standing outside waiting for them.

"Three aunts and four aunts!" The twins also waved excitedly.

Without Gu Mingdong's help, the twins were very sensible, and took the big package one by one.

The sisters had to carry the big package with great difficulty, but the brothers picked it up and left with ease, without any effort.

Gu Mingxi took a look and said cheerfully, "Hey, my nephew has grown up and can help with work."

"Leave all the heavy and tiring work to me from now on." Gu Liangxing never had trouble climbing the pole.

With the twins as laborers, it was much easier to go back and forth, and we soon arrived at Shanghe Village.

When the commune members saw them, they greeted them one after another: "Xiaoxi and Xiaobei are back, hey, he looks good, and the feng shui of our capital is the best way to support people."

"Auntie, I should talk about Shanghe Village. When I'm outside, I just think about the food in my hometown." Gu Mingxi said cheerfully.

When they passed by, the aunt said in surprise: "It's weird, their Xiaoxi can still talk to each other with a smile."

The member next to him also said: "Isn't it? I used to have a bad temper. I didn't expect to stay outside for two years, but I became sensible."

"After going to university, it really is different."

"So what can I do after studying in college? I can't find a partner at such a long age, and I'm afraid I'm going to fall into my hands in the future." Some people just don't like the old Gu's family.

When I said this before, the members all nodded in agreement, but today they clicked their tongues and said: "Widow Liu, don't worry about it, everyone has gone to the capital to study in college, how can we look down on our crooked melons?" date."

"That is, if you want to worry about other people's families, you should take care of your own."

Widow Liu's face darkened, but the daughter-in-laws around her were not used to her, and they started talking about it.

"Their family's Aihua has never been back since she went out to study."

"It's not that the mother and stepfather are desperate for money. Most of the one-month subsidy must be sent back. I heard that Ai spends all day trying to make money outside. How can I have time to come back?"

"The child understands in his heart, isn't Beijing farther than Daishan City, but Xiaoxi and Xiaobei came back after the holiday, and they know that someone at home is thinking about it."

"Tsk tsk, forget about Wang Mazi, this is my mother."

"Don't you know that she only has the son in the front in her eyes, how can she have the two in the back?"

"I don't think she's out of her mind. Who is Liu Dazhu? Even his own mother was beaten ruthlessly. He's been dead for so many years, so he's still thinking about it."

"Who said it wasn't..."

Widow Liu was very upset in her heart, but she was alone and did not dare to quarrel with them, so she turned back with a sullen face.

When he got home, Wang Mazi was sitting over there drinking, eating peanuts while drinking, and didn't even lift his head when he saw her come back.

Widow Liu pursed her lips, and finally couldn't help but mutter: "It's almost New Year's Eve, it's fine if Aihua doesn't come back, isn't Xiao Zhu coming back?"

Wang Mazi also misses his son, which can be seen from the fact that he is willing to ask for Liu Aihua's subsidy, but never asks Liu Xiaozhu for it.

"What are you yelling about? Didn't Xiao Zhu say in his letter that he was very busy after finding a job, and he will come back at the end of the year."

Widow Liu held her breath: "When is the end of the year? Don't come back at that time. How will the village see us?"

Wang Mazi, however, was an old god: "Xiao Zhu is so filial. He usually doesn't want to eat or wear anything. He even bought me a new padded jacket. How could he not come back if he is free?"

When it came to the new cotton-padded clothes, Widow Liu was so angry that she vomited blood.

When winter was about to enter, my son suddenly sent home a large package. When I opened it, it was a new padded coat. It was for Wang Mazi according to the style and size.

Wang Mazi was happy. Widow Liu turned the package upside down, but couldn't find hers, and felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

She thought she was not very good to the two younger ones, but she brought them up anyway, and gave birth to both of them at worst, but now it's good, the two younger ones blamed her instead.

Widow Liu was afraid of being beaten, so she didn't dare to confront Wang Mazi, she just said aggrievedly, "I'm not afraid that Chinese New Year will be too clean, and people will gossip about it then."

Wang Mazi felt the same when he heard it, and stopped drinking.

Widow Liu said again: "Besides, the two children are grown up, so they have to look at each other, don't you think?"

Widow Liu was self-aware, knowing about Liu Xiaozhu's marriage, she definitely couldn't afford it, and Wang Mazi definitely refused.But Liu Aihua can take care of her completely.

Widow Liu felt very proud when she thought of the recent inquiries from members of the commune, and even said nice things to her just to see each other.

So what if the dead son is a widow? The pair of sons born in her womb are very promising, and they will enjoy happiness sooner or later.

When Wang Mazi heard this was the case, he immediately cursed: "You are stupid, Xiaozhu is a college student, and you still want to find him a wife in the countryside? Are you out of your mind?"

"I have long hair but short knowledge, hurry up and cook."

Wang Mazi thought to himself, if his son were to live in ancient times, he would be the number one scholar, and he would be enough to marry a princess. Although there are no princesses now, it is not difficult to find a good one. How can he marry a woman in the countryside to live.

As for Liu Aihua...she should marry better, otherwise how will she pull her brother out in the future?

Wang Mazi was shrewd in his heart, although the stepdaughter was not his own, but the relationship between the siblings was good, and if they sold it in exchange for a bride price, it would be worth the money, so it would be better to marry better.

Widow Liu had no choice but to cook with aggrieved feelings. While cooking, her heart was like bitter juice, secretly thinking that her life was miserable.

Unlike her, the old Gu's family was enjoying themselves at this moment.

As soon as they got home, the Gu family sisters opened the big package and distributed gifts to the family.

"Brother, this is for you, hurry up and try to see if it fits." Gu Mingxi smiled.

Gu Mingdong saw that it was a large army green padded jacket, which looked very warm, with a black fur collar on it.

Gu Mingbei also dug out the other two pieces: "A Xing A Chen, these belong to the two of you, go and try changing them together."

"No wonder the burden is so big, so it's stuffed with this big thing." At this time, the padded jacket is heavy and heavy, taking up a lot of weight and space, and it feels solid in the hand of the carrier.

Gu Mingxi said with a smile: "People in Beijing like to wear this, and they are very energetic."

Gu Mingdong said helplessly: "I have a padded jacket, why waste the money."

"You haven't bought new clothes for several years, it's time to change." Gu Mingxi said.

Urging them to enter the door to change, he turned around and handed a white sweater to Gu Yun: "Little Yuner, go and try."

"White, will it get dirty easily?" Gu Yun obviously liked it, but felt unreal.

Gu Mingbei said with a smile: "Don't wear it when you're working, put it on when you go out for a stroll."

Hearing this, Gu Yun was really happy to enter the door to try.

"Teacher, this is for you." The military overcoat is too eye-catching. After all, Mr. Zheng hasn't been rehabilitated yet. Gu Mingxi didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he bought him a jacket that can be worn inside.

When Zheng Tong saw it, he knew that she had put a lot of thought into it, and said with a smile, "I still have my share."

"You are my teacher. If you are a teacher for one day and a father for life, then you are just like your own father." Gu Mingxi laughed.

Soon, Gu Mingdong and the twins came out in military coats.

In fact, military coats these days have no waist, are thicker and longer, and look darker than they are tall. Many people wear them straight and look very bloated.

But the three of the Gu family, father and son, are all tall and tall, with a standard inverted triangle figure. Once the clothes are on, they immediately highlight their aura.

The Gu family sisters saw a lot of people dressed like this in Beijing, and they also had them in Xiyuan Town, but none of them looked better than their eldest brother.

If this goes out the door, the little daughter-in-law and the big girl must not hang their eyes on it.

Gu Mingxi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Hey, I have such good eyesight, I look like the three brothers in these clothes."

Gu Liangxing smiled and said, "Sangu, shouldn't you praise me for being good-looking?"

"I'm complimenting you." Gu Mingxi smiled.

Gu Liangxing turned around and said with a smile: "Then look more, you won't see such a handsome man elsewhere."

Gu Mingxi was amused and laughed out loud.

It was noisy, and suddenly there was a commotion outside.

Gu Liangxing glanced out: "Cousin Xiaowei is back, hey, why is she still bringing someone with her?"
