The sun was blazing above her head. Gu Qingqing raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and hurried to the fields carrying a large ceramic pot.

Now is the busy farming season, and the whole village, old and young, is busy engaging in double-grabbing. Although she is a clerk, she still has to participate in the field work. No, she brought water to her family just after lunch.

The sun made the field ridges hard. She walked through the rice fields and felt so happy looking at the golden rice. This year was another bumper harvest year.

Looking at this output, there should be a lot left over after paying for the grain purchased by the state!

When she was weaned at the age of one, she started eating soup and porridge that was so thin that no rice grains were visible. When she got a little older, she ate steamed buns made with sorghum and cornmeal. Her mother-in-law was very skillful and could make flower rolls in different ways, so her life was not that hard.

He grew up like this until he was seventeen years old, and now he still cooks rice with sweet potatoes and potatoes every day, otherwise it would not be enough to eat, but his life is getting better day by day.

In the past few years, during the Chinese New Year, I would dip my lips into some oily meat. Now, during the Chinese New Year, I can also cut some pork belly and buy some white noodles to make a big pot of fragrant pork and green onion dumplings.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but lick her lips.

It’s not that I’m hungry, well, it’s that the weather is too dry. She made amends for herself.

"Sister Qing, I'm here to bring you some water." A young man carrying a load of corn came towards her, raising his eyebrows and showing his big white teeth.

He only wore a white coarse cloth shirt, and his two exposed strong arms firmly grasped the bamboo pole. The pole on his shoulders creaked as he walked.

Seeing that his face was red from the sun, Gu Qingqing quickly stood to make way for the harvested rice fields nearby, then picked up the blue and white porcelain bowl fastened to the lid of the pot, poured a glass of water and handed it to him - "No, the sun is too poisonous

. Come on, I came out and brought a pot of water. Brother, please drink a bowl first."

The young strong man did not refuse. He stopped and did not put down the burden. He held the bamboo pole behind him with his right hand, took the bowl with his left hand and raised his head to drink. Going down, the cool and sweet well water slid down his throat. Gu Xiong wiped his mouth and laughed loudly: "Thank you, sister. You go and bring water to grandma. I have to take the millet to the drying field."

"Okay, brother, go quickly." Gu Qingqing lifted the porcelain pot, looked at her cousin's back carrying more than 100 kilograms of rice as if it was nothing, and secretly raised her thumb.

As the most profitable labor force in her family, Gu Xiong really has nothing to say.

The second uncle is a carpenter with a quiet and dull personality, while the second aunt has a straightforward and lively personality. The cousin just follows the second aunt's cheerful temperament.

He has a good personality, a lot of strength, and a strong body, but his appearance is not as good as that of the Gu family. He is a well-known handsome young man from all over the country.

In the words of her second aunt: "The matchmakers have almost leveled the threshold."

Gu Xiong's back disappeared at the end of the field. Gu Qingqing retracted her thoughts of "I don't know who will be lucky enough to be my cousin-in-law in the future." Walk forward with the porcelain pot in hand.

The Gu family members all gathered together, two people were threshing millet, two people were passing rice straws next to them, and the rest were bending down to cut the millet.

The Gu family is a large family, and they have never seen girls since her grandfather's generation. They were all born in front of girls. Her grandfather had five or six brothers, and these five or six brothers gave birth to a group of fat boys.

Her grandfather Gu Tiezhu gave birth to four sons in total. The eldest son is her father, Gu Jin, the second son is her cousin Gu Xiong and his father, Gu Yin, the third son is Gu Cai, who works as a chef in a state-owned hotel, and the fourth son is Gu Bao. Well, that's the guy with a playful smile who was kicked by Gu Tiezhu for being lazy.

"Dad, dear dad, you can't be gentle. If I hurt our family and lose another labor force, don't look at what time it is now. Farming is busy, dad!" Gu Bao muttered while rubbing his buttocks. Under Gu Tiezhu's angry glare, he silenced his voice and quickly took a handful of freshly cut rice straw from the side and handed it over.

Gu Tiezhu was threshing rice with an expressionless face: "Don't call me dad, you are my dad."

Gu Bao scratched his head: "Then I wouldn't dare."

Gu Jin, who stood side by side with Gu Tiezhu on the wooden board of the threshing machine, couldn't bear it. He laughed out loud: "I think you really want to."

"Brother, can you stop being so angry?" Gu Bao looked at his father's black face covered with rice dust, and his butt hurt again. He quickly changed the subject: "...Huh? Is that our Qingqing?"

As the only girl in the three generations of the Gu family, she has been held in the palms of Gu Tiezhu and Zhang Cuifen's hands since childhood. Gu Tiezhu squinted and saw that she was the darling of their Gu family.

Putting down the bare rice straw in his hand, Gu Tiezhu patted the ashes on his body and said, "Okay, kids, let's have a drink of water first." Gu Bao was unhappy hearing this title: "Dad, we are all dozens of years old

. Come on, can you stop talking about this little brat?"

Gu Tiezhu looked at him sideways: "You talk a lot of nonsense, but your brothers and the others are not unhappy." "

They all have wives," Gu Bao said, holding his neck and fighting for himself. A little face: "Your youngest son is planning to get married. It's so shameless to have a baby." "Which

girl is so unlucky that you care about her?" Gu Tiezhu didn't even look back: "Tell your mother about it later. "Sound, let's give you a generous gift, so don't let this girl suffer."

Gu Bao followed Gu Tiezhu step by step, grinning: "Thank you for thinking about your son so much, dad." He was used to the old man's eccentricity, and he was completely tolerated by his thick skin. With.

In fact, he was quite confident. He felt that besides Qingqing, his beloved, he, the old man, was the Gu family's second treasure.

In total, he is only two or three years older than his nephew Gu Xiong, but judging from his nephew's status, the uncle and nephew really can't decide who will get married first.

"Grandpa~" Gu Qingqing's eyebrows were crooked. When she saw Gu Tiezhu coming, she held a blue and white porcelain bowl in both hands and handed it over: "Thank you for your hard work." "It's not hard." Gu Tiezhu drank the cool and sweet well water and felt comfortable all over his body

. Tai, he also thought in his mind: "Your grandma is harvesting rice over there, please bring a bowl of water, my dear grandson." "Hey, that's good." Listening to his granddaughter's clear voice,

Gu

Tiezhu turned around and patted Gu Jin's shoulders -

"It's still the boss who has given us a pair of twin grandsons for our Gu family. It also gave your father and I a granddaughter in our lifetime. You uncles can only see them in their dreams in this life." Meet your granddaughter."

Gu Bao glanced at the taciturn second brother and wisely chose not to say anything.

He planned in his mind that if he married a wife in the future and gave birth to several fat and white eldest daughters, he would not let the old man hold them even once, because he would covet him to death.

At midnight, after the Gu family said hello to the neighbors in the field next to them, they carried the farm tools to the production team to return them, and calculated their work points. Gu Jin sat on the stone pier at the door and waited for his daughter to calculate her work points and go home. .

The moon hangs high in the sky, and all the dogs in Datunzi Village are asleep, and no barking is heard. During the busy farming season, they go to the fields as soon as the sun shines, and they are still out of the house at midnight.

Get up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog.

"Aunt Zhao, you have seven work points today. Uncle Zhao and Brother Zhao Yu both have ten work points, which counts as one work. Brother Xiaoge cut fifty kilograms of fodder to feed the pigs today, which is half a work." Gu Qingqing couldn't help but She praised: "Brother Xiaoge is only eight or nine years old, and he can be as strong as half a young adult." "

Our children are all very strong," Qian Guihua said with her ears, comparing the numbers she heard with the ones in her little book. Yes, there is no mistake. He said with a smile: "Qingqing, aunt has to go back to cook, so you should come back early." Gu Qingqing closed her

notebook and stood up, "Okay."

"Oh, that's right." Qian Guihua glanced at He glanced at Gu Jin at the door, then took two steps back and whispered to Gu Qingqing: "The captain of our production team is going to be replaced. I heard that the boss has decided that it will be your father. Judging from your father's silly appearance, I guess I still don’t know, so tell your father a message.”

“No way.” Gu Qingqing was really surprised: “Can my father, who is as stupid as he is, be the production team leader?” After

returning to Gu’s house, Zhang Cuifen and her two daughters-in-law arranged a good meal. Now they are not separated. The whole family is sitting around the stone table in the yard to eat.

Gu Tiezhu took a bite of the sweet potato with the vegetable soup. After listening to his granddaughter's words, Gu Tiezhu almost spit out the vegetable soup.

"What? Your father is going to be the production captain?" This is even more unbelievable than the old Gu family's ancestral grave being struck by lightning.

Facing a dozen pairs of glaring eyes, Gu Jin rubbed his hands and scratched his head, he was also confused, "Did the higher-ups see that I have two sons in the army and thought my political background was not stained, so they let me join? "

Gu Qingqing's two twin brothers are the pride of the Gu family. One is an air force pilot in the Southern Military Region, and the other is in the Construction Corps. If Gu Jin really says that he has no stain, then it is true.

His ancestors had been poor farmers for three generations, and Gu Tiezhu even gave cattle to the wealthy landlords.

"Not necessarily." Gu Qingqing took a bite of corn buns: "After all, Aunt Zhao's news is mixed."

As the boss of Datunzi Village, Qian Guihua's business ability is still not as good as Wang Dahua from the next village. Eighty-nine times out of ten, she is weak.

"Oh," Gu Tiezhu thought for a while, took another sip of vegetable soup, and said clearly: "It doesn't matter if you don't do it right. The production team leader has a lot of troubles. You see, this one has offended a lot of people." This site has no ads

Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 1 Boom 001 Dad is going to be the production captain? …Next chapter: Chapter 3 Boom 003 Why didn’t Mr. Xu blow the whistle? "Being an official... Oh no, being a captain is to serve the people, so why bother?" Gu Bao said with a righteous look on his face: "Dad, you need to improve your ideological consciousness." Gu Tiezhu glanced at the steamed bun in his hand

, Looking at Lao Laizi's hypocritical face again, he endured it. If he had had a brick in his hand, he would have smashed it over long ago.

When Zhang Cuifen saw her youngest son's eyes rolling, she knew that this boy was making some small calculations, "Are you thinking that when your brother becomes the captain, he can arrange some easy work for you?

" Seeing Gu Bao choking on the vegetable soup and coughing repeatedly, she knew she was right.

"As soon as your butt is raised, I know what nonsense you are going to say." Zhang Cuifen saw that she was almost done eating, and stood up to put away the bowl: "If your eldest brother becomes the captain, you brothers will have to work harder to prevent others from gossiping. You, third brother, third brother, third brother, third brother, third brother, third brother, third brother. Forget it, my sister-in-law is in the city and hasn't come back. If you dare to be lazy, don't tell me that you are our Gu family's seed when you go out." "

Other people's old people are treasures, but our Gu family's old people are just grass." Gu Bao finished pouring the vegetable soup and added the last After eating a wheat bran steamed bun, he looked at his eldest brother longingly: "Now my father doesn't love me and my mother doesn't love me, so I'm the only three brothers left to care for me." Gu Jin helped collect the chopsticks and said with a naive smile: "Sure

. Ah, when I become the captain, I will give you the best job."

"...Brother!" Gu Bao licked his face as if he was a good brother to me, and Gu Tiezhu chuckled without looking.

"Pooping, pulling ammonia, and digging wells are all good. Ah Bao, which one do you like?" Gu Jin still had an honest and honest smile.

Han Lianxin saw that her brother-in-law immediately changed into a bitter and resentful look, and laughed out loud: "Big brother said these are all fat men. They can carry four hundred pounds of ammonia and walk thirty kilometers except for twelve of them." There are work points and three cents of money, so I think A Bao is quite suitable."

Seeing his second sister-in-law teasing him, Gu Bao hid with his head in his arms and said, "If you keep doing this, I'll be the younger brother of the idiot next door." "

Sure. Ah," Gu Tiezhu threw the hoe to him and sneered: "Don't think that you don't have to do anything when you go to Erluzi's house. Hurry up and mow the grass in the vegetable patch in the backyard."

Each family has allocated three-thirds of their own plot of land in front or behind their house. Now during the busy farming season, they get up early and go out in the dark to get both. The grass in their own vegetable plot is half as tall as a person.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, Shi Rushuang, and the second daughter-in-law, Han Lianxin, followed Zhang Cuifen to the kitchen to wash up. The men in the family went to the private plot, weeding and watering.

Gu Qingqing usually doesn’t need to do this kind of work at home. The most important thing for her Gu family is labor force. There are about ten men, old and young. In Grandma’s words: “There are so many old and young men in the family, but we don’t need Qingqing.” Baby girl, please help me."

Gu Qingqing raised her head and glanced at the moon, guessing that it was already past ten o'clock, so she grabbed a bundle of dry firewood from outside the house and went to the kitchen to boil water for a bath.

There were many people in the family and there were many pots. Three large iron pots were placed side by side on a large stove. The pots had already been filled with water by Gu Xiong.

Sitting on the small bench in front of the stove, I casually took a bundle of dry bamboo leaves and rolled them into a ball. I took out a matchbox and pulled it twice, and the flame ignited instantly.

Put it into the stove with tongs, and Gu Qingqing chopped the firewood into pieces so that it would burn easily.

When the fire got strong, I added a few big tree roots and divided them into the other two stoves. She patted the dust on her hands, remembered what Aunt Zhao said, and asked absently: "Auntie, do you think my father has hope of becoming the captain?" Shi Rushuang was washing the dishes, and she laughed when she heard this:

" Who knows, your Aunt Zhao doesn't know where she got the information from, but now the captain is indeed old and it's time to retire." Gu Jin, she knew from the time she married him, he was

a She is honest and steady, and she feels that her man may not be able to take charge even if he is the captain.

Gu Qingqing nodded, "I don't think dad has this intention either..."

Mother and daughter were talking in the kitchen. Zhang Cuifen and her second daughter-in-law were lighting kerosene lamps in the room to sew cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles for the men in the family. After the busy farming season, the family's labor force has to dig canals, cut mountains, and stones to build rivers, and two pairs of shoes are needed every month.

The night in Datun Village is quiet, and occasionally you can hear the chirping of cicadas. The men of the Gu family are working in the backyard, and the women chat with Jia Chang.

"Woof woof——"

Hearing the sound of a dog barking, Zhang Cuifen twisted the needle and rubbed it on her hair a few times. She held the thimble in her hand against the end of the needle and continued to put the soles in: "Jianshan is out on patrol. It looks like it's half past eleven. I'll finish sewing." You have to go and rest for this time. You have to work early tomorrow morning. Don’t secretly light a lamp and boil oil to sew at night, or you may damage your eyes.” She told the second daughter-in-law: “Listen to my mother, don’t waste this time.

”

"Hey!" Han Lianxin bared her big white teeth and said, "I listen to my mother." She has been married to the Gu family for more than ten or twenty years, and has never suffered any grievances from her parents-in-law. The man is just a bit dull, but Gu Yin actually He is a very careful person.

I often heard that caring for the family is good, but now I understand it even more deeply.

"Qing Qing." Xue Jianshan, holding a khaki dog in his right hand and carrying a puppy in his left hand, shouted angrily towards the gate of Gu's courtyard.

With sharp ears, Gu Bao heard Xue Jianshan's voice, dropped his hoe and ran away quickly: "Xue, the elder of the militia battalion, is here. Dad, I'll go see what's wrong with him." Gu Tiezhu rolled his eyes, this kid was groping around here

. Picking and hoeing in the west can be regarded as giving him an opportunity to be lazy, and he will probably not come back to work again.

Gu Tiezhu felt comforted after looking at the diligent eldest son, the taciturn second son who was working hard, and the eldest grandson who was digging in the soil.

If you don't come, don't come. Even if you come, it's just a trick.

Fortunately, I still have two useful sons and several diligent grandsons.

He has no hope for his younger son.

"Auntie," Gu Qingqing also heard the shouting, "Uncle Xue called me, please help me look at the water. It's almost boiling. Don't forget to turn back the firewood." "Okay, okay, it's not like I'm next door." You fool

." Shi Rushuang was a little funny.

The Erluzi next door is a name inherited from Datun Village. It does not live next door to the Gu family. It exists in the colloquial language of generations of ancestors when they curse people. Every household mentions the Erluzi next door when they say someone is stupid.

In fact, there is no such person at all.

Gu Bao sympathizes with him every time: "The second idiot is also very tired. He has lived for hundreds of years and is both a father and a grandson. He is next door to every house."

"Qingqing, this is the dog you want." Seeing her running out, Xue Jianshan held the puppy by its neck and handed it to Gu Qingqing. Seeing the joy and curiosity in her eyes, he said, "Don't worry, I won't bite." Gu

Qing Qing then took it with confidence. The puppy was just like its mother, Dahuang, who was held by Xue Jianshan. It was a yellow native dog with big eyes and looked ignorant.

Gu Qingqing gently rubbed the soft fur on the top of its head, and the little yellow dog let out a "wow" and lay comfortably in her arms.

"It seems that this puppy likes you very much." Xue Jianshan said with a smile.

"Excuse me, Uncle Xue."

"No trouble." Dahuang happened to have given birth to a few puppy puppies, and when he heard Qingqing said that he wanted to raise one, he brought them to him.

"Old Xue!" Gu Bao came over happily. When he saw the dog in his niece's hand, he immediately understood what was going on: "Have you named it Qingqing? How about we give it one?" Gu Qingqing really didn't think about it yet

. What's going on? He looked at the person next to him.

"Uncle Xue..."

Xue Jianshan shook his head helplessly: "Don't count on me. My rhubarb was named after the security director."

Gu Qingqing: "...Okay." She sighed.

Gu's family members are not very good at naming names. For example, her father and several uncles have treasures of gold and silver. When her two brothers were born, her father's face was red and he rubbed his hands and picked out the two loud names of Gou Sheng and Gou Dan. My mother-in-law almost fainted from tears when she heard the name. Fortunately, my grandfather renamed me later.

Gu Bao took the little yellow dog from Gu Qingqing and put it on the ground to play with. He also liked small animals. Seeing his niece scratching her ears and cheeks, an idea suddenly flashed in his head - "How about calling it a hammer? Ah, Can you still

be the same generation as my father?" The more Gu Bao thought about it, the more satisfied he became. He patted the little yellow dog on the head: "I think you like it too, so that's it. In terms of seniority, I have to call you a dog. Uncle!"

Xue Jianshan's mouth twitched when he heard this. It's not a matter of a day or two for this old guy from the Gu family to be out of tune. Once he gets used to it, he doesn't seem to find it so ridiculous.

Gu Qingqing also squatted down and muttered: "It sounds okay, but it seems a bit familiar..."

"You're looking for a fucking beating, Gu Bao." As soon as Gu Tiezhu put down his hoe, he heard Gu Bao fussing over his head and slapped Gu Bao on the ground: "You are really a big boy of our Gu family. "

Gu Bao was lying on the ground with his head in his arms and his face aggrieved: "Aren't you happy if I give the dog a name?" It turns out that he is an old man, and Tie Zhu just doesn't like anything about him.

Gu Tiezhu pulled up his granddaughter who was squatting on the ground and kicked Gu Bao on the butt: "You still have the nerve to shout in front of your father, name the dog after your uncle, I think it's been three days since I slapped you. Isn't it?!"

Gu Qingqing slapped her head, feeling a little annoyed.

No wonder, she said the name sounded familiar. It turned out to be her great-grandfather Gu Tiechui.

The smile on Xue Jianshan's lips couldn't be stretched, and his shoulders were shaking. This old man from the Gu family was always making trouble every day. He cleared his throat: "Uncle Tiezhu, I'm going on patrol. You go to bed early."

After saying that, he led Dahuang and walked briskly to the other side.

Zhang Cuifen bit off the thread, put away the needle, and blew out the kerosene lamp. In Yao'er's eyes asking for help, he handed a cane to Gu Tiezhu, "Don't be too harsh, we have to work tomorrow."

Gu Bao was completely desperate.

It was almost twelve o'clock, and the yard finally calmed down.

Gu Qingqing lay on the bed, looked at the moon covered by clouds outside the window, and turned over.

As people get older, they don’t get that much sleep. As soon as a glimmer of light came out of the dark sky, Zhang Cuifen was tossing and turning on the bed as if she was making pancakes, unable to fall asleep.

Hearing Gu Tiezhu's thunderous snoring next to him, he kicked his leg and sat up to put on his cloth shoes.

She opened the curtain and came out and saw a figure moving in the yard, and she became wary. When I got closer and took a closer look, it was my granddaughter carrying firewood and heading to the kitchen, and I was relieved.

"Qingqing."

"Grandma!" Gu Qingqing was startled by the sudden appearance of Zhang Cuifen. Several pieces of firewood fell from her arms, and Zhang Cuifen bent down to pick them up.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer? It's not dawn yet." "

We have to go to work in half an hour. I have to get up to cook. I don't know if I can make it in time." Gu Qingqing felt helpless: "Now It's already half past five. Normally, Grandpa Xu would be blowing his whistle and shouting to get up at this time." "

Huh? It's half past five? Your grandma and second aunt haven't gotten up yet." Zhang Cuifen looked up and it gradually became brighter. In the sky, he muttered and complained: "What happened to Mr. Xu today? Did you oversleep?" As the

captain of the production team, Mr. Xu has always been unstoppable regardless of rain or shine. He patrols the village on time at five o'clock and blows the whistle to let the villagers get up. Cook and get ready for work.

Absences like this are unusual today.

"Maybe there is something delayed." Gu Qingqing sat in front of the stove and lit the fire. "Ah Nai, why don't we just steam some sweet potatoes and make some wild vegetable soup, and then roast some corns and take them to the fields to eat." ."

There was no time to cook. She got up late and could only just deal with the two of them and leave. Now she couldn't take care of so much in the double robbery. She had to go to the grain drying farm to load grains today.

Zhang Cuifen is a neat person. As soon as her granddaughter finished speaking, she was peeling sweet potatoes: "This is the only way, Qingqing, roast a few more corns. It's easy to get hungry now that the work is heavy." "Hey!" Gu Qingqing added more to the stove

. I picked up a few unpeeled green husks of corn.

The Gu family members yawned and rubbed their eyes and got up one after another. Zhang Cuifen casually wiped her face with a coarse towel and scolded Grandpa Xu. The whole family ate sweet potatoes and cornstarch and went to work together.

As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, she met Qian Guihua and her husband Zhao San. Gu Qingqing bit her corn and mumbled a greeting: "Uncle Zhao." "It's

Qingqing." Zhao San was also chewing sweet potatoes, with her left hand I took a sickle, but the farm tools on the team were not enough, so some villagers had to bring their own.

Glancing at Gu Xiong who was carrying the pole, Zhao San gnawed the sweet potato skins clean and threw them into the vegetable patch next to him. He turned to Gu Yin and sighed: "Uncle Xu doesn't know what happened to me today. I almost fell asleep. At noon, if the rooster hadn't been crowing incessantly, today's work points would have been lost again."

Gu Yin didn't know what was going on with Uncle Xu, so he shook his head: "We'll find out later."

Seeing that there was no follow-up to his sentence. , Zhao San thought of Gu Lao Er's temper and couldn't beat him with three sticks, so he simply turned around and talked to Gu Xiong.

This kid is much more lively than his father.

Gu Bao was beaten yesterday. Today he followed Gu Tiezhu and Gu Jin. Han Lianxin was watching the excitement and said, "A Bao, you are walking with a limp. How will you carry the burden later?

" Bao rubbed his butt and looked sadly at the back of his father's head in front of him, ignoring his second sister-in-law's laughter.

Tie Zhu was so ruthless that he had no choice but to cut rice today.

Gu Qingqing gave the remaining corn to her mother-in-law: "I'm going to dry the grain. I heard that Aunt Zhao is going to be with me today. I'll try to find out more then." Shi Rushuang knew that her daughter was talking about her man being the boss

. Regarding the captain's matter, she took the bag and said, "It's nothing to worry about. Don't take it too seriously. If your father can take it, don't be sad if you can't." Seeing that her daughter was very concerned about this matter, she couldn't bear it. Keep reminding me so as not to fail when the time comes.

"My daughter knows!" Gu Qingqing ran to the other side of the road and waved back: "When I finish loading the rice, I will go to the fields to help you!" Shi Rushuang saw her daughter disappear in a flash, and shook her head in amusement: "Wind and Fire

. I don’t know who you followed your temper. Neither of your two brothers are as outgoing as you."

Zhang Cuifen said next to her: "Girls must be energetic. Qingqing has been protected by dozens of young and old men in the family since she was a child. Growing up, three generations of the old Gu family have had such a baby bump, so they should be happy." Not to mention my uncles and

cousins, even the cousins of Gu Tiezhu and his brothers are very fond of this Du Miaomiao baby. .

When Han Lianxin heard her mother-in-law talking about her niece, she stopped teasing Gu Bao and came over to ask: "Sister-in-law, our dear daughter will be eighteen next year. When I was as old as her, the male child was already two or three years old. Isn’t it time to propose marriage to her?"

Before Rushuang could reply, Zhang Cuifen glanced at her, "Someone has asked you about Qingqing, right? Don't promise anything to others outside. She is the only one responsible for her marriage. Brother, I'll take care of it. Just show your love to Xiongwa. Don't worry about Qingqing's affairs."

Han Lian nodded heartily: "It was the matchmaker in the next village, Mrs. Wang, who told me that many people are asking about our Qingqing. Mother, please Don't worry, I'll make it clear to her next time."

Zhang Cuifen nodded: "Let's do it like this." Shi Rushuang

was afraid that Han Lian was thinking too much, so she said softly: "Brothers and sisters, don't think too much, Canyang and Qinglie go to the front of the army I just said that they will choose Qingqing’s marriage. If there is a young man in the army who likes it, he will send a letter to the family, so I, my mother-in-law, can’t make the decision on Qingqing’s marriage.” Han Lianxin was always a carefree person, and she listened to her sister-in-

law After telling himself so much, the knot in his heart was relieved, and he smiled happily and said: "The one Canyang and Qinglie are interested in must be the best. We, Qingqing, will definitely marry into a good family in the future." Shi Rushuang said

. He held her arm and smiled: "Then I'll lend her second aunt's good words."

Gu Qingqing arrived at the grain drying field. The sun was rising. Before she saw anyone, she heard Qian Guihua's penetrating voice. ——

"Qing Qing! Come on, come on, Aunt Zhao wants to tell you something."

Seeing her mysterious look, Gu Qingqing walked a little faster: "Aunt Zhao, do you have any good news for me?" Qian Guihua picked up a handful of millet and poured it into the windmill bucket with a loud voice

. : "Hey, it's indeed good news. Uncle Xu didn't blow the whistle today. Do you know why?"

She also gave it a try.

Gu Qingqing turned the windmill, and the dried and broken rice leaves were pulled out and fell into a pile. "Why?" She followed Qian Guihua's words.

"Uncle Xu is not in good health and has retired!" Qian Guihua stretched out her hand and pulled the windmill bucket a few times to let the millet fall down: "Your father should have been called to the commune by now. Wait until he comes back. He is the captain of the production team of our Datunzi Village and Dagouzi Village!"

Gu Qingqing's face was full of surprise. No wonder she didn't hear Master Xu blowing the whistle this morning. It turned out that someone was about to be replaced.

Is it really Dad who takes over? In addition to being happy, she was also worried.

Dad is indeed a bit naive, and I don’t know if he can take on such a big role.

Qian Guihua is a talkative person and doesn't procrastinate when doing things. Today they have to pack all the grains dried in the drying field and send them to the warehouse in bags.

Even though it was a sunny day, it might be windy or rainy at any time. She estimated that the rice in the fields would be harvested in the next two days, and then she would have to plow the fields quickly to plant late rice before the beginning of autumn.

The two of them didn't go back at noon. Qian Guihua brought two steamed rolls made of sorghum noodles mixed with wheat flour, and Gu Qingqing brought two sticks of cornstarch, and the two happened to eat them interchangeably.

I took a bite of the flower roll. Although it didn't look as good as grandma's, the taste was the same.

Gu Qingqing thought absently.

Just after returning from town, Gu Jin looked back and felt a little headache when he looked at the three men and two women on the bullock cart behind him.

Qin Wu saw him turning back frequently and sighing. He put his feet on the ground and stopped the bicycle. He said angrily: "If you don't want to sit on my bicycle, just walk back, I... I won't tolerate your bad habits." He and Gu Jinke were old enemies. They didn't deal with each other when they were in school

. They were all classmates in junior high school. When they were young, they grew up together with Pei and Mu at the entrance of the village. After junior high school, he went to serve as a soldier and Gu Jin stayed in the village.

A few years ago, after he retired from injury, he stayed in the village and became a party branch secretary. Gu Jin still looked like a fool and a loser.

Who would think that Uncle Xu would step back and let this fool take over? Fortunately, Gu Hanzi has two good sons at home, otherwise he would still want to partner with him in this life? Let’s dream!

Gu Jin held on to the back seat of the bicycle with both hands and still had that naive smile on his face: "It's been several dozen miles. If you want to go, you can go and lend me the bike to ride back." "You..." Qin Wu raised his finger and pointed at him

. For a long time, I saw the silly smile on his face, and I became more and more angry.

Seeing that the bullock cart behind him was about to catch up, he took back his hand, kicked off his foot, and the Feige bicycle continued to drive on the sun-dried dirt road.

"Gu Hanzi, don't blame me for not reminding you. Being a production captain is not a good job now. When the summer grain harvest is finished, the grain will be distributed. People in the two villages are watching eagerly."

Qin Wu snorted coldly: "Even when Uncle Xu was in power, he had a lot of headaches because of the distribution of grain. According to the work points, whether according to the population, seven labors and three labors per person, or six labors and four labors per person, whatever standard is used to convert wet grains into dry grains is a troublesome matter. ."

"You, the Gu family, have a lot of labor and are households with surplus grain every year. The third son of your family, Gu, is still eating public grain in the city. The grain-deficient households have long been dissatisfied with you. This time, several educated youths have come to the village.

" When he arrived at the educated youth, Qin Wu's face became even more ugly: "One by one, they can't carry their shoulders or lift their hands, and their limbs are not working hard and their grains are not separated. They are just here to share our food!" As a veteran, he has great respect for this group of intellectuals. Not on.

Educated youths have also come to Dagouzi Village before. After they were divided, they exchanged grain according to work points. This group of educated youths complained of hardship and tiredness while doing the easiest work. They could not earn even half a day's work. Even the youngest son of Zhao San's family could not compare. superior. There was a lot of stealing and stealing, and you had to borrow work points and food.

There are ten work points for hoeing an acre of grass. Because their physical strength is not up to standard, not to mention the work points they owe to the production team, they only want to work on the quota and return to the city. Every year, not three but two return to the city due to illness.

As soon as he said that, he became angry. Qin Wu kicked his feet harder and the chain of the cart creaked.

"Qin Mengzi, please slow down." The whistling wind in Gu Jin's ears made his eardrums buzz. His fingers dug at the base under Qin Wu's butt, and finally he gritted his teeth and grabbed Qin Wu Kuangfei's clothes.

Before he took over this mess, Qin Mengzi became angry.

Damn, what's going on?

The sun had already set when we arrived at the entrance of the village. Gu Jin moved out of the back seat with weak legs and his lips turned white.

Seeing his appearance, Qin Wu lost most of the anger he was holding in his heart. He held the handlebar with his left hand and looked at him with his right hand on his hips and laughed.

"Look at your virtue. You have never ridden a bicycle before." Qin Wu was a little proud: "My Qin Hu is still filial. He earns twenty-four and a half yuan a month in the steel factory. I have saved several months of wages for him. I bought a Feige brand bicycle. Gu Dasha, you are so greedy. I will ask your family Canyang and Qinglie to buy one for you some other time." Gu Jin shook his head, bent down and held his knees to calm down: "I won't buy it, so as not to worry about it.

One day when I become arrogant and proud, I will break my old bones again."

"..." Qin Wu glared at him: "It was in vain that I put so much effort into carrying you back. You were the one who cursed me behind my back when I slipped in the fields last time." After stopping, Qin Wu felt that he could not be looked down upon by this group of intellectuals, so he swallowed back the words he had spoken to greet the eighteenth generation of the Gu family.

"Place them first. The educated youth center at the end of the village is still there. Hurry up and bring them there."

He would rather go plowing than stay with Gu Hanzi and this group of skinny educated youths. Pulling ammonia, if that doesn't work, shoveling cow dung will do.

"Let's go." Hearing him mention the group of educated youths behind him, Gu Jin became even more embarrassed.

It was after eight o'clock today when she got off work. Gu Qingqing took note of her scores and ran home eager to return.

Shi Rushuang brought out a basket of freshly steamed wheat bran steamed buns. As soon as she put it on the table, a sudden gust of wind blew by. Her daughter had already run too far and suddenly stopped and took a few steps back.

"Mommy, has my dad come back?"

"No." Shi Rushuang also knew that the man was called to the commune and it was probably close to home. She slapped her daughter's hand to take the buns away: "Look at all this sweat. Go wipe your hands and eat."

"Oh." Gu Qingqing drooped her head and walked to the pressure well. She picked up a ladle of water next to her and poured it in. She pressed it with both hands, and a clear stream of water came out. Water rushes out.

Zhang Cuifen came out with steamed sweet potatoes and taro. Seeing her precious granddaughter sullenly washing her hands, she asked her eldest daughter-in-law, "Why is Qingqing unhappy? Who offended her?" "No one. She is waiting for her father." Shi

Ru Shuang said helplessly.

"Isn't this back?" Zhang Cuifen glanced at the figure at the door of the courtyard and shouted into the house: "They have all gone out to eat, and you want me to invite them one by one?!" Gu Tiezhu pulled up his cloth shoes with a hole in the front

. The first to come out, Zhang Cuifen glanced at his exposed toes in the moonlight: "Don't you have mended shoes? Why are you wearing these shoes again?" "

Cool." Gu Tiezhu sat down along the table stone, holding the cigarette in his hand. The pole knocked twice on the edge of the stone bench under my butt.

"I'll cut off the piece of cloth in front of you tomorrow to make it cooler."

"That's okay." Gu Tiezhu leisurely blew out a smoke ring. Seeing that his old wife didn't speak for a long time, he quickly put down the cigarette rod and rubbed his hands to mend: "No, you mended those two pairs of shoes so well that I couldn't bear to wear them to the fields." Inside, it gets dirty easily."

Zhang Cuifen then sat down next to him with a gentle expression.

Gu Jin's butt was still hot from sitting, and the dozen or so pairs of eyes sitting around the table were staring at him.

Seeing his sluggish look, Gu Bao said cautiously: "Brother, have you chosen?"

Chapter 5 Prosperity 005 It’s still Abao who resists... Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 4 Prosperity 004 I can’t tolerate your bad habitsNext chapter: Chapter 6 Prosperous 006 Feeling unsure "Huh..." Thinking of the troublesome things Qin Wu said, Gu Jin couldn't help but sigh heavily. Facing so many pairs of expectant eyes, he only had a wry smile on his face.

"Not selected?" Gu Bao's heart skipped a beat, and his eyebrows almost flew backwards: "There are not many people in our Datunzi Village and Dagouzi Village who have the ability to take over as the captain of the production team. Although the eldest brother looks a bit stupid, he does things well. Steady and down-to-earth..."

Gu Bao spread his hands and said, "If I were to choose, I would definitely choose the eldest brother." "

Really, Qingqing?" He winked at Gu Qingqing, who was peeling the sweet potatoes, and motioned for her to comfort Gu Jinji. sentence.

"Yes, Dad, forget it if you are not selected, hurry up and eat." Although Gu Qingqing was a little disappointed, she also knew that the captain of the production team has many things to do and great responsibilities, and if Dad is chosen, the one who will work with him is Uncle Qin Wu, the grievances and grievances between these two people cannot be written on a piece of paper.

"Yes, yes, let's eat." Zhang Cuifen took a wheat bran bun and broke it in half and handed it to Gu Tiezhu: "It's not a big deal. After eating, go to the fields to fertilize." Hearing this, Han Lian remembered that no one had blown it in the morning.

Everyone in Shaozi's

He held his head with both hands and rested his elbows on the stone table, grabbing his hair: "...It should work, I chose it." "

Oh." Han Lianxin nodded in response, and then widened her eyes: "Ah? Brother, what do you mean? What, why didn't I understand?!"

Gu Tiezhu almost choked on the steamed buns, patted his chest and swallowed hard, but Zhang Cuifen quickly let him take a sip of vegetable soup to calm down.

"What? Boss, did you choose?" Gu Tiezhu stared at his eldest son with blazing eyes. After seeing him nodding in confirmation, he rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Then why are you like an eggplant beaten by frost, you scared me? Jump."

"Originally I was quite happy, but then I met Qin Wu and together we took the educated youth into the village."

Gu Jin frowned and said: "Dad, this job is really troublesome. I used to think about Uncle Xu and he couldn't do it every day. What are you doing? Who knew there were so many ways to do this?"

"Dad, what did Uncle Qin Wu say to you?" Gu Qingqing stuffed a taro into her father's hand: "You talk while eating. Grandpa and uncles are here. After listening, let's add up the total. Please help me."

"Yes, uncle, as the old saying goes, three cobblers can equal one Zhuge Liang!" While they were talking, Gu Xiong had already eaten two sweet potatoes, four or five taros, and Han Lianxin pretended to her son again. A bowl of compacted rice.

"The main thing is grain distribution. I see the situation in the fields and we will be able to harvest all the grain the day after tomorrow at the latest. The rest of the grain purchased by the state will be divided. How to divide it is a troublesome matter. If it is not divided well, everyone will not be able to do it." I'm thinking about autumn plowing."

When he thought about these things, Gu Jin became worried: "Even after finishing the autumn plowing, there will still be workers on the big and small rivers. Dad, why don't I let you be the captain of the brigade." "What are you talking about

? ?" Gu Tiezhu slapped his eldest son on the forehead, and the crisp sound made Gu Bao tremble.

But then I thought about it again.

The eldest brother was beaten by Tiezhu at such an old age, but it didn't matter that he was beaten and kicked at such a young age.

"Dividing food is not a big deal. Tomorrow you can bring two kilograms of dried melon and wine to Old Man Xu for advice. Just follow his previous method of dividing food. I'm sorry that others won't be able to tell you anything." Gu Tiezhu didn't have the appetite to eat anymore

. As soon as he touched the cigarette rod, the old wife glanced at him coldly, and then put it down: "The autumn plowing and river embankment construction you mentioned are the big things. Old man Xu's words have weight in both villages, so he has been able to do it after so many years." Retreat peacefully."

"Our Datunzi Village and Dagouzi Village are not harmonious villagers. We used to dig canals to grab water. Now that you are the captain, you still have to decide whether they will accept it or not.

" After all, Gu Jin has no authority. In the hands of Master Xu, the villagers would not dare to cheat, but this is not necessarily the case in his case.

Anyway, Grandpa Xu has decided how many work points men, women, old and young will get in a day, and they can slowly grind it out.

Like Gu Xiong, he drives the wheat, raises the fields and water the fields. He can do the work of two young adults, which is considered a day's work.

It doesn’t matter whether you do more or less, so why do you have to do so much?

The villagers all have Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts. The Gu family has a large population and they are all young and middle-aged. They have enough energy to weed their own land after work. Those with a small population can only recuperate during work and go to their own homes after work. The ground exerts its strength.

Gu Yin, the second son of Gu, who had always been a man of few words, rarely spoke up: "Uncle Xu has been told behind his back that he privately leaves all the easy, high-value jobs to his relatives." Although he did not participate in the chat. , but it is inevitable to hear someone complaining while working.

"Isn't this the end?" Gu Tiezhu said to his eldest son: "You see, a hard-working man like Old Man Xu doesn't fare well. Over the years in the village, he gets up earlier than chicken every day and blows the whistle from door to door to call for work. If someone's roof leaks, he and Xue Jianshan carry the ladder and go up. Don't think so much, just work hard. The young and old men in our family will definitely support your work and not hold you back." "Don't let down the commune and the people

. The trust of the brigade." Gu Tiezhu stretched out his calloused palm and patted his eldest son's shoulder vigorously.

Gu Jin's eyes filled with tears at his father's words, and his eyelids turned red: "Dad, please pat him gently, it hurts." Han Lian couldn't help but feel happy: "It's better for us, Bao, to resist

. "

Gu Bao almost spit out the vegetable soup with a mouthful.

After clearing the dishes, her uncles and cousins were working in the fields. While Gu Qingqing was boiling water, she threw two long black soap bars into the stove and roasted them to use for washing her hair later.

When grandpa and dad were talking just now, she didn't interrupt and listened quietly, but she had a vague plan in her mind, but she didn't know whether it would work or not.

She felt that it would not be difficult to increase the enthusiasm of the villagers. Allocate tasks to each person. The cotton pickers could get off work early as long as they had picked enough kilograms of cotton in a day. The hoeers could get off work as soon as they made as many hoe noises as possible, so that they could Enough time to take care of the plot.

For people like Gu Xiong, hoeing an acre of land requires only ten centimeters per work. After hoeing, you can choose to record the work and go home or continue working, but the work points cannot be capped at ten, so you can earn more money.

Their production team now earns 20 cents per work, which is pretty good. Although it is not as good as those production teams with superior geographical environment that can produce 40 to 50 cents per work, it is still better than some production teams with poor land, which can only produce 80 cents per work. .Nine points are much better.

A full year's work for a young man earns seventy-five yuan, and the grain is distributed at an average of two to three hundred kilograms per head. A large family like their Gu family does not have to worry about food.

Except for eating coarse grains for a few months during the lean season in February and March every year, rice is completely sufficient at other times. However, her maternal grandfather's house and her second aunt's aunt's house are relatively poor areas, and every year the Gu family has to bring food to support them.
