Why did the original owner lose this memory?
Gu Mingdong was puzzled. He was afraid that he had missed something. He searched over and over again for the memory of the original owner for the next month, but could not find any clues.
What's even more frightening is that he didn't feel anything was wrong before this.
Gu Mingdong secretly cursed himself for losing his vigilance for the apocalypse in peaceful times. It took almost a year for such a huge loophole to be discovered.
In fact, it is no wonder that Gu Mingdong is like this. After all, he is an outsider and is not interested in the memory of the original owner. After a quick glance, he is more concerned about the changes in the situation and future development.
As for the painful memories of the original owner, Gu Mingdong naturally didn't have the patience to examine them carefully.
After this incident, Gu Mingdong had to review the original owner's memory in detail.
After this review, many problems were immediately discovered.
The original owner's memories of the next ten years were clearly visible, but from time to time small fragments would be missing. After being dispersed, these defects were not noticeable and the number was not large, so Gu Mingdong did not notice them.
What is the reason?
What Gu Mingdong is worried about is whether this lack will affect his judgment of the future, or is there any secret hidden behind it?
Suddenly, Gu Mingdong's attention stopped in one place.
In that memory, there were obvious gaps before and after. Gu Mingdong compared the differences bit by bit, hoping to find clues.
Suddenly, Gu Mingdong noticed the difference in the original owner's memory of that day. It was clear that there was no food in the house the day before, but after the memory loss, there was food in the house again!
It was impossible for the original owner to obtain the food by himself, so where did the food come from?
In such difficult times, who would send food to their family for nothing?
Gu Mingdong raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Widow Liu, with a guess in his mind.
Since Bai Xiaohua knew the secret of the glass beads, tried her best to obtain them, and married Liu Dazhu with an ulterior secret, the woman she replaced was most likely someone who was close to her.
Cousin Sun Shumei!
Only relatives, or extremely close relatives, would take such care.
What Bai Xiaohua wants to snatch away from Sun Shumei is not just a glass bead.
But how could Shumei marry Liu Dazhu? No matter how much Gu Mingdong thought about it, he felt there was something weird in it.
He pursed his lips, feeling as if a stone was weighing on his heart.
Gu Mingdong had something in his heart. He was busy searching through his memories at night, and he felt a little distracted during the day.
In the eyes of the Gu family brothers and sisters, they thought that Gu Mingdong was tired from the heavy work during the autumn harvest. The three brothers and sisters took over the chores at home without leaving any trace, and first let the eldest brother take a break during the farm break.
Even the twins are well-behaved and sensible. Every time Gu Mingdong comes back from work, he can always see them carrying a small bench and an enamel cup to him.
"Sit for daddy."
"Daddy has tea."
After thinking for a month, Gu Mingdong finally found the clues and breathed a sigh of relief.
Once he had a clue, he looked back and realized that he had been in a bad state recently, scaring the oldest child in the family.
Gu Mingdong looked at his son who was holding the enamel jar and walking staggeringly. He took it with a smile and touched his little head: "Thank you, Ah Xing and Ah Chen, you are so good."
When the twins heard this, they immediately smiled with their front teeth showing: "Dad, I'm tired. Ah Xing and Ah Chen will give you a squeeze on your shoulders."
Gu Mingdong sighed in his heart. In fact, he was out of shape during this period, not only because of memories, but also because he realized that there were too many things in this world that were beyond his control.
Ultimately, it was this realization that made him feel insecure.
But he shouldn't pass on this emotion to other children.
Gu Mingdong smiled, took a sip of water, put down his cup, and simply picked up his two sons, carrying them one by one to play in the yard.
The twins burst out laughing, and their laughter spread far and wide.
Gu Simei was cooking when she heard the laughter and glanced outside, and also laughed: "Brother finally laughed."
Gu Sanmei was cutting vegetables and said, "Isn't that right? He's been absentminded lately. I thought he was thinking about my sister-in-law again."
Thinking of the person who had passed away for a year, Gu Simei sighed: "Time flies so fast, it's been almost a year since my sister-in-law passed away."
Gu Sanmei made a move: "You said it would be great if the elder brother cheered up earlier. My sister-in-law might not be able to..."
She couldn't figure it out in her heart. Since her eldest brother had the ability to get wild boars, why didn't he get them earlier? If he could eat meat and have a full stomach every day, his eldest sister-in-law wouldn't have to wait until she ran out of gas.
"Don't say this in front of eldest brother." Gu Simei quickly reminded her.
Gu Sanmei smiled and said: "I'm not stupid. Of course I won't say this to my eldest brother in front of him to hurt his heart."
Gu Simei was relieved: "Actually, my eldest brother is already very good to my eldest sister-in-law. The main reason why my eldest sister-in-law can't bear it is because she didn't raise the child well when she gave birth."
It is not easy to give birth to twins. Li Lijuan lost her health during the birth, and then encountered a famine, and her health was never well maintained.
"That's not because there's no money." Gu Sanmei still felt that way.
Gu Simei lowered her head and her eyes flickered slightly. Because she had a very good relationship with her elder sister-in-law, she actually knew more than the third sister.
She didn't know the secret of the twins, but she knew that her eldest sister-in-law had been unhappy. This unhappiness was not because of her eldest brother.
But she didn't tell anyone.
Gu Mingdong was carrying his two sons and was sweating profusely from playing, when he saw his second brother Gu, who was also sweating profusely, running home.
"Where have you been, covered in mud?" Gu Mingdong asked.
The second brother Gu wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Brother, a fish pond is being built over there."
"Build a fish pond?" Gu Mingdong was surprised, remembering that Lao Liu had indeed said that he wanted to build a fish pond a few days ago.
The fish pond is naturally an asset of the production team, but raising fish is not like raising pigs. Raising pigs is a hard task from the top, and pigs have to be handed in every year. For example, if they are thin this year, they will be criticized, but fish are not.
Therefore, in previous years, the production team randomly scattered the fry at the beginning of the year and waited until the end of the year to catch them and share them with everyone. In the past, when the fish were shared, it was also the time that the members looked forward to the most.
However, famine has been severe in the past few years. The water in the fish ponds is almost dry. There are no fish to catch. The bottom has not been raised for two consecutive years.
Although there is wild boar meat this year, pork alone is not enough. The old Liu looked at the water in the fish pond and thought of fishing it out. Even if it was only small fish, it would be a dish.
Among them, Widow Liu came to borrow money again and again, and urged Wrapped Old Liu to set up a fish pond, saying that it would be decent to hold a banquet with fish when the time came. Wrapped Old Liu couldn't stand the widow's sister-in-law, so he had to agree.
Of course, Lao Liu would not let others know about this matter.
Brother Gu picked up a bamboo basket and left: "I have to rush to help."
"Wait, I'll go with you." Now that he knew it, Gu Mingdong naturally wouldn't be lazy.
"You can do it yourself, I have to go quickly." Brother Gu quickly ran away, fearing that all the fish would be caught if he was too late.
"Dad, I want to go together."
"I want to go too."
Gu Sanmei came out and said: "Good boy, you stay at home, there will definitely be noisy over there at the fish pond."
The twins didn't speak, but just looked at Gu Mingdong eagerly. The latter thought for a while but didn't refuse, and simply pulled them over there.
"Let them follow. With so many people watching, nothing will happen."
When Gu Mingdong walked to the fish pond, the small fish pond was crowded with people. The members were not afraid of the cold. Several men took off their clothes and got out of the fish pond shirtless.
The water in the fish pond had been drained, leaving only the black mud. Gu Mingdong glanced at it and saw Gu Mingnan waving a bamboo basket, catching a fish and throwing it up.
The people next to him were catching fish with their bare hands, and accidentally slipped away. Seeing Gu Mingnan's cool moves, they all imitated it, doubling their speed for a moment.
Gu Mingdong looked at the heated posture and felt itchy in his heart for a moment.
He happened to see Third Aunt Gu watching the fun nearby. Gu Mingdong pushed the two children over: "Third Aunt, please help keep an eye on them. I'll go down and help."
Third Aunt Gu held on to one of them: "Okay, I'll make sure you can watch her closely."
Ever since the old days of the Gu family, Gu Jianguo no longer had to help his eldest nephew from time to time. During the holidays, Gu Mingdong even brought his children to the house to give gifts, and Aunt Gu's attitude became much more affectionate.
After more than half a year, the two families moved around much more frequently than before.
Seeing the chubby twins now, even if they were not biological grandchildren, Aunt Gu was quite surprised to see them.
This is also what Gu Mingdong did intentionally. The children of the old Gu family will be bullied if they are too weak in the production team. They cannot lose their only relative. Besides, Gu Jianguo is really good to them. Even for this third uncle, he cannot care about the three. Those mean words from my aunt.
After settling his son, Gu Mingdong took off his thick clothes, rolled up his trouser legs and went down.
When the new wives nearby saw it, they were too shy to look at it.
When Aunt Gu saw it, she felt it was funny in her heart. She secretly thought that Gu Mingdong looked really good regardless of how he was doing it.
Look at this man who is tall and handsome. He has changed a lot since Lijuan left. He is not like before, who always had his chest hunched over and his stature could not be shown.
When Aunt Gu looked at her now that she was in high spirits, she could understand Li Lijuan's mood at the time when she would rather stay away from her mother's family than marry into the production team of Shanghe Village.
Hey, if Gu Mingdong hadn't killed him and didn't want to remarry, Aunt Gu would have been willing to help him make one.
At this time, Gu Mingdong had already reached the center of the fish pond. With the cheating device of superpower, he could always find the fish and shrimp hidden deep in the mud.
No need for a basket, I just caught it with my bare hands, and each one was a big fish weighing four or five kilograms. I even caught a big eel. This is a great food. It is still available at this time of the year. I immediately saw it. People around him are jealous.
Although everyone gets the fish in the end, whoever catches it has priority by default.
Wrong old Liu looked at it and sighed: "A Dong is really good at catching fish. He caught half of what he caught by himself."
Li Tiezhu next to him happened to hear it and said with a smile: "That's not true. A Dong can not only catch fish, but also wild boars."
As soon as this was mentioned, people around him started talking.
Some people even shouted: "A Dong is the pest-killing hero of our production team. When will A-Dong lead us to eliminate pests again?"
Gu Mingdong just smiled after hearing the compliment. At this moment, he stretched out his hand and touched a large turtle, which was the size of a basin. He threw it to the shore and tried to crawl away. Amidst the commotion, he was stepped on and stopped.
The second brother Gu also saw it and couldn't help shouting: "Brother, you are too powerful, that big bastard can bite people."
"It's not a bastard, it's an old turtle." Gu Mingdong replied.
Suddenly his expression changed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to hold down a hard shell.
With a push, it turned out to be a clam shell the size of a bowl.
There is little custom of eating clam shells in Dahe Village. The main reason is that the clam shells here often grow in the mud. They taste fishy, taste bad and have few edible parts. No one is willing to eat them unless the mountains and rivers are exhausted. .
The clam shell in Gu Mingdong's hand looked no different. The black clam shell shone with bright ink and was slippery to the touch. It was a common species.
There are already piles of the same clam shells on the shore, and they can only be used as extras when dividing the fish.
Gu Mingdong did not throw it directly onto the shore, but instead stuffed it in his trouser pocket.
