Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 19 Take a Bath
At this time, Gao Mingcheng had returned to Grandma Xi's house, took a copy of the honeycomb and went out.

Little did he know that an earthquake was about to strike at his house.

Of course, he had anticipated this earthquake a long time ago, and had experienced it in his previous life, but now it was ahead of schedule.

Gao Mingcheng took a bowl of honeycomb and came to Gao Shouwang's house. Before entering the door, he smelled a strong smell of meat.

Gao Mingcheng swallowed reflexively, and was instinctively aroused.

In his previous life, he ate delicious food and drank spicy food, and he had meat all the time, so he no longer had a special feeling for meat.But now he is extremely greedy because of the lack of supplies.

He felt that he could eat a whole rabbit by himself!

Licking the corner of his mouth, he decided to catch the prey next time, so he had to fight back to the tooth sacrifice first!

After entering the door, the smell of meat is even stronger.

Besides Gao Shouwang, there are his father and his brother in the room. Gao Shouwang is the youngest son, his mother is gone, and his father lives with his brother.

Now it's rare to drink and eat meat at home, so he called his father and brother over.

A rabbit is made into a spicy rabbit, and a pheasant is plucked and gutted, and stewed with mushrooms. In addition to these two main courses, there is also a plate of fried peppers, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a plate of fried eggplant.

"Mingcheng is here, come and sit down!" Gao Shouwang came forward to greet Gao Mingcheng and let Gao Mingcheng sit down.

Gao Mingcheng took out the honeycomb he brought and said it was for him.

After getting a bowl of honeycomb, the smile on Gao Shouwang's face became more obvious.

"Feixia, free up this bowl, and make another bowl of honey water for everyone to drink!" Gao Shouwang shouted loudly, and his wife Dong Feixia was also very face-saving, and started to work gently and virtuously.

Speaking of Dong Feixia, she is also very famous in the village, because she is the only tailor in the village.

When people in the village want to make clothes, they will go to the town to buy cloth, and then let Dong Feixia do it.

Most of Gao Mingcheng's clothes were also made by Dong Feixia.

But until today, he didn't know that Dong Feixia is not only good at making clothes, but also good at cooking.

Of course, this has something to do with her willingness to put seasonings.

That night, Gao Mingcheng was half drunk, ate a lot of meat, and had a great time chatting with people.

Gao Shouwang and his father are of the same age, Gao Shouwang's elder brother and Gao Shouwang's father present are much older than Gao Mingcheng, but he has a lot of friends and is born again, so the four of them ate and drank while talking While talking, they chatted very happily.

After leaving Gao Shouwang's house, the village has returned to silence, and most people are ready to go to bed.

There is no entertainment at the moment, and there are things to do during the day, so everyone goes to bed early at night.

Gao Mingcheng walked on the small road in the village in the dark. Tonight, the moon was shy and hid and disappeared.But it's not completely dark, and the outlines of some buildings can still be vaguely seen.

Back at Grandma Xi's house, the door of his house was ajar, it was for him.

Entering the yard, I saw that Grandma Xi's room was pitch black, she probably fell asleep, only the tall and strong room was still lit.

He stepped lightly and entered Gao Zhuang's room. Gao Zhuang was still awake and was still listening to the radio, but his voice was not loud.

"Brother Mingcheng, the room is ready for you, it's the one next to me! You said how well you and I slept together, and we can listen to the radio together." Gao Zhuang looked a little excited when he saw Gao Mingcheng came back.

He has no real brothers, and his parents died early, and he only lives with his grandmother. To him, Gao Mingcheng is just like his own brother.

When he was a child, he was thin and thin, and was often bullied by the children in the same village. It was Gao Mingcheng who helped him and protected him several times. Since then, he has been hanging around with Gao Mingcheng.

Since hanging out with Gao Mingcheng, other children no longer dare to bully him.

Otherwise, if you beat him today, Gao Mingcheng will help him beat him back tomorrow.

Because of this, Grandma Xi also treated Gao Mingcheng very well, almost treating him like a half-grandson.

Gao Mingcheng said that he was going to live in Grandma Xi's house recently, and Grandma Xi happily made the bed for him.

Gao Mingcheng glanced at Gao Zhuang, and said bluntly, "I think you snore!"

Don't look at Gao Zhuangsheng's thinness, but he snores a lot, and he also grinds his teeth!
"Have you taken a shower yet? I'll take a shower first. I'm sweating all over my body."

Gao Zhuang said, "I've already washed, and I'll go to sleep after listening to the story."

Now that Gao Zhuang had taken a shower, Gao Mingcheng didn't care about him, took a change of clothes from the room next door, and carefully hid the two sheets of gold foil paper in his trouser pocket under the pillow.

At this moment, their village has no running water. The water in the fields depends on the reservoir, and the domestic water in the house depends on the well.

There are three public wells in the village, and there are also several wells drilled by other people's homes, but Gao Mingcheng's family has no wells, and neither does Gao Zhuang's family, so they all have to fetch water from the public wells.

Because of this, most of the men, women and children in their village are used to bathing in the reservoir. In the west of the reservoir, there is a bay called Women's Bay. Because of the terrain, it is covered by dense bushes on three sides, so the water in the village Women are used to bathing there.

The men, on the other hand, take a bath in another reservoir.

Gao Mingcheng ran to the edge of the reservoir, took off his clothes in two or three strokes, and then jumped into the water, making a 'pop' sound and splashing everywhere.

He took a dip in the water first, and then washed his body.

After being stimulated by the cold water, the remaining alcohol in his body dissipated.

He floated on his back in the water, looking at the sky.

The background is dark blue, full of stars, and there are occasional floating clouds, which are unpredictable.

The sky in 86 is so beautiful!

Gao Mingcheng sighed, walked from the water to the shore, wet the dirty clothes he took off before, rubbed them casually a few times, and then wrung them dry and threw them on the shrubs on the shore.

Immediately afterwards, he put on clean clothes, carried the washed dirty clothes, and walked to Grandma Xi's house.

After entering the yard, he casually hung the wet clothes on the bamboo pole for drying clothes, and then closed the door from the inside.

"I'm going to bed first." Gao Mingcheng said in a low voice when passing by Gao Zhuang's house.

"Oh, I'll sleep later." A tall and strong voice came from the room, and there was a voice from the radio at the same time.

Gao Mingcheng didn't listen carefully, he was not interested in the stories on the radio now, he just wanted to study the gold foil quietly by himself.

Back in his room, Gao Mingcheng lit the kerosene lamp with a match.

This kerosene lamp was also placed here by Grandma Xiao before. Seeing this kerosene lamp, Gao Mingcheng realized why Grandma's room was dark.

This is because she gave him the kerosene lamp she used herself.

A warm current gushed out from the bottom of my heart, and my limbs felt very warm.
