Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 106
In the morning, after delivering the wood to the carpenter's house by tractor, Gao Mingcheng went to the new house, of course, with Black Tiger.

The black tiger is quite stubborn and has not yet been raised, but Gao Mingcheng holds the rope of fate, so it can only follow.

When they arrived at their new home, craftsmen were building walls.Although there are only three houses, the yard surrounded by walls is not small.

At present, there are few people building houses, and there are no other people around. Gao Mingcheng occupies more yards, and under normal circumstances, no one will come to check and talk.

After the walls are built, the beams and tiles are installed, the house is considered complete, and then the carpenter completes the doors and windows, and then completes the necessary furniture such as wooden beds, wardrobes, and boxes, and the house is complete. It's neat.

Although the progress is quite fast, Gao Mingcheng is not in a hurry to move in. There is no saying that new houses need to open windows to ventilate formaldehyde, mainly because there is no formaldehyde!

But, it must be a little damp and not completely dry. It must be cold to live in it in the winter. They sleep on wooden beds here, unlike the northern side, which sleeps on kang.

Once the kang fire is on, the whole house will be warm and dry.

But the cold wind in the south is biting, and there is no magic weapon for heating, so keeping out the cold depends on a healthy body.

Many beauty squatted in the simple kitchen, washing vegetables, their hands were soaked in cold water, and they were red from the cold. If you looked closely, your fingers were swollen, which turned out to be chilblains.

This made Gao Mingcheng feel distressed, and immediately asked: "Did you not apply the cream and clam oil I bought for you last time? Or have you finished applying it?"

Although it was cold to wash vegetables, but seeing Gao Mingcheng caring about herself so much, many beauties felt as if they had eaten honey, she said with a smile: "It's been painted, sooner or later."

Gao Mingcheng immediately said: "Every time you touch the water, you should reapply it! You can use it at ease, if it's gone, I'll buy it for you again!"

There is no need to go to the county to buy clam oil, the cooperative in Junling sells it, and the price is not expensive.So Gao Mingcheng didn't feel bad about how much he used.

"When you wash the vegetables in the future, wash them in hot water. I got a lot of firewood, so don't be reluctant! In addition, fry less green vegetables to be washed and more pickles. Do you have these pickles at home? If not, I will look for them." People buy it." Gao Mingcheng said, already thinking about changing the menu.

Vegetables grow in the ground, so they don't cost much, and you can eat them when you get them.Pickles have to be prepared in advance. Every autumn and winter, their village will start to make all kinds of pickles, including dried spicy radish, pickled pomelo peel, dried plums, sauerkraut, etc.

This kind of dish is easy to serve with food, and it is also convenient for those who cook it.

Duomei said: "Don't buy it, I have spicy dried radish and dried plums at home! But dried plums are delicious with meat."

Fatty meat is best, such as pork belly.

"Okay, tomorrow is the market in Junling. I'll go and buy some pork. Don't wash it, I'll do it." Gao Mingcheng let Duomei get out of the way and washed the vegetables himself.

If he didn't know how to cook, there would be no need to call Duomi to help.

"Well, then I'll go home and get some dried spicy radish." Many beauties were sweet in their hearts, and a faint smile appeared in their eyes.

"Remember to wipe your hands with clam oil!"

"it is good!"

"Haha, the relationship between you young couple is really good! Don't worry, uncles will definitely let you live in years ago!" The craftsmen who built the fence laughed and joked, and the surrounding atmosphere became cheerful and lively.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Gao Mingcheng's new house will be covered with beams and roof tiles. This is a big event. There will be a set of ritual procedures, and the villagers need to be informed by beating gongs and drums, and then the villagers will be separated. Peanuts and melon seeds, well, if the host is generous, you can also spread candies.

On the day of Gaoming Cheng Shangliang, the elementary school had already been on winter vacation, so as soon as the gong was struck, the children in the village got the letter and immediately ran over here.

Even the adults, some came to watch the excitement.

After the ceremony was over, Gao Mingcheng began to scatter melon seeds and peanuts. He also prepared candies, and every child present could get one. As for the adults, there would be no more.

Two large bamboos with roots were tied with red cloth and placed in the middle of the room on the left and right. This is also a local custom - hanging red.

Whenever wine is served, the host will put a red woolen yarn on the shoulders of the guests, which is called draping red.

If there are children at the banquet, the red cloak they get will be different. At the end of the red thread, a piece of red cloth will be tied, and some money will be wrapped in the red cloth.

Most of the money at this time is one yuan, which is auspicious. In later generations, there will be more types of this amount. It depends on how the owner arranges it. Some give ten yuan, 20 yuan, and some give 100 yuan.

After the ceremony is over, the banquet will begin.

There is no housewarming banquet today, but the artisans need to be treated to a good meal, and Gao Mingcheng's parents and uncles will also accompany him.

Therefore, this meal was prepared by Luo Xiaohua and Gao Shufang with the help of Duomei.

The big iron pot was steaming hot, and the smell of meat wafted into the air, causing some people to salivate, but those who were more sensible left early to avoid embarrassment.

Only some children refused to leave after smelling the smell of meat, and lingered near the big iron pot.

Gao Mingcheng couldn't bear to see the eager look in their eyes, so he specially ordered a plate of meat and vegetables for each of them to eat.

After eating the meat, the children left with a smile. They covered their pockets with their hands, because it was full of melon seeds and peanuts.

At the wine table, Gao Yuanjian, who had drunk some wine, became excited and said loudly, "Second brother, you are promising! When I was young, I thought you were very clever, and now you are indeed promising."

Gao Fanmao also drank, blushed, and exposed Gao Yuanjian with his tongue out: "Hey, when Mingcheng got into trouble when he was young, you were the first to hit him!"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but glared at Gao Fanmao.

The two are cousins ​​and live next to each other, and they are familiar with each other's family situations.

However, it is normal for them to beat children here. Unless you beat the child to death, no one will care.

For example, when Gao Mingcheng was mischievous and caused trouble when he was a child, Gao Yuanjian hit him with a bamboo stick. Gao Fanmao laughed when he saw it, and said to Gao Mingcheng, "Do you dare to do it next time?"

Gao Maomao laughed and drank another glass of wine.This wine was steamed by Gao Yuanjian himself, and it is very strong.

He looked at Gao Mingcheng and said, "Mingcheng, tell me the truth, how much money did you earn? Last time, your mother said that you used all the money you earned to buy ginseng and goji berries for them. Why is that so?" Are you going to build a house soon? Mingcheng, you have a way to make money, so don’t forget your brother!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone smelled gossip, and pairs of bright eyes looked at Gao Mingcheng.
