Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 202 Preparations Before Going Out
After two days of running around, Gao Mingcheng quietly sold the eight shotguns.

There are few firearms here, and people are rushing to buy even bird guns, let alone shotguns. If you have a shotgun in your hand, you dare to go into the mountains to hunt wild boars.

The price of ordinary bird guns is one or two hundred, and cheap second-hand ones can be bought for 50 yuan, but with that quality, you'd better not shoot, lest you don't kill the bird and injure yourself first!

A better bird gun costs more than 200. This shotgun is naturally more expensive than a bird gun. The poor quality can cost several hundred, and the good quality can cost thousands.

The eight shotguns in Gao Mingcheng's hands were both good and bad. He found a powerful middleman and sold them in packages for a total of 5000 yuan.

In addition to the shotgun, he also sold the honey at one go, and got a few hundred dollars.

With this money, Gao Mingcheng finally felt more at ease.

He began to plan when to take Duomi to Yangcheng. It was already very hot in June, but it will be even hotter in July and August!

Besides, in mid-July, the early rice will be harvested, then the fields will be plowed to prepare the land, and then the seedlings will be transplanted to plant the late rice.

They usually transplant early rice and throw late rice, but some people also choose to transplant late rice in order to grow better and harvest more.

So he had to come back from Yangcheng before harvesting the early rice.

He told Duomi about this matter, so that Duomi could prepare in advance.

Duo Mei knew that Gao Mingcheng planned to take her to see the mayor of Yangcheng for a long time, and she was very looking forward to it, but when the thing really happened, she was still ecstatic.

"How many days are we going?" Duomei asked expectantly and curiously.

"It will take at least half a month." Gao Mingcheng said, this time he brought a lot of beauty to gain knowledge, so naturally he can't be in a hurry. a few days.

"It's been so long, what about the land and livestock at home?" Many beauty was stunned, she didn't expect to go out for so long.

It is not easy for rural people to travel far, because almost every household has grown vegetables and raised livestock. Once they go out, they cannot take care of these.

Gao Mingcheng asked back: "How do you think it will be arranged?"

Duoduomei thought about it, and after a while, she said, "Let my brother take care of the land. He doesn't talk much, but works hard every day, and the work in the field is also good."

The brother she talked about was Zhang Chengyuan, her second sister's husband.

As a son-in-law, Zhang Chengyuan doesn't have a strong sense of existence. He just works hard every day and rarely interacts with people. Whenever he has some free time, he will go into the mountains with a hoe to dig medicine.

In that environment, he kept a medical book. It can be seen that he has a little knowledge of pharmacology. He used to gather herbs for his own use. Later, Gao Mingcheng came forward to buy herbs, and he became more active in collecting herbs and processed them well. After that, he sold it to Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng naturally accepted it, and then took it to the county sometime to sell it to the pharmaceutical factory. Since he established a relationship with the pharmaceutical factory, he would go to the pharmaceutical factory to sell medicinal materials about once a month or two.

The last time Brother Qiang went to the pharmaceutical factory to look for him, fortunately the guard at the pharmaceutical factory was vigilant, not only did not reveal Gao Mingcheng's identity, but also saw the purpose of Brother Qiang's visit, and then the pharmaceutical factory quickly told Gao Guobing about it .

This is how Gao Guobing led people to arrest Brother Qiang in time.

Gao Mingcheng nodded and said, "Okay, let him take care of the vegetables in the field, and then give him some money."

"Hey." Duomei responded happily. Her second sister's family doesn't have much land, but her brother is hard-working and willing to work, but he is excluded. Whenever he goes to open up wasteland, he will be criticized by others, and some people even show strong Don't let him open up wasteland.

Zhang Chengyuan didn't dare to argue with others, so naturally he didn't go to open up wasteland. Now that he has extra time, he spends time in the mountains, looking for various medicinal materials.

The vegetables in the field are given to Zhang Chengyuan to take care of, and the cattle and sheep can also be taken care of by him. He only needs to take the cattle and sheep out to graze every morning, and then take care of them halfway. Or if the sun is shining, find a shady place or something.

Vegetables, cattle and sheep are taken care of by someone, but as for the dog...

"Black Tiger, Elf!" Gao Mingcheng waved at the two dogs, who were playing and playing in the yard. Hearing the call, they immediately ran over and circled Gao Mingcheng.

"Hei Hu, Elf, are you going to eat and drink at your own house, or go to Grandma's house?" Gao Mingcheng asked.

The black tiger and the elves barked immediately, as if they were answering questions, er, they just didn't understand the language!
"Okay, when the time comes, I will tell Grandma Xi that if you go, let her prepare food for you." Gao Mingcheng pretended to understand, and stroked the heads of the two dogs, one person and two dogs playing together , Many Mei pursed her lips and smiled.

Yangcheng... Where is it?How long will the car ride take?
She began to imagine, wanting to circle around excitedly.She quickly ran to her second sister's house, told her second sister the news, and said that she would let her brother manage the vegetables, cattle and sheep in the field, and he would give some money at that time.

Zhang Chengyuan is also at home and is repairing the hoe. The wooden handle of the hoe is a little loose. He is cutting a piece of wood of the right size, and then using a hammer to hammer the wood into the gap in the handle to make it tighter.

At this time, when Duomei said that he would give money, he immediately waved his hand and refused, saying: "No money, no money, just do me a favor."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was stared at by Duoyu, who said with a bit of yin and yang, "This is not helping for a day or two, it will take half a month! How can I not give money? Besides, people are going to make money. Those who have big money, how can they value these small money."

A lot of Mei's originally excited mood suddenly disappeared.The smile on her face couldn't hold back anymore, and she felt angry in her heart. She really wanted to quarrel with her second sister. You must know that her temper has always been hot, and she is not a submissive bun.

It's just that since she married Gao Mingcheng, her life has become easier and more hopeful, and other people in the village no longer bully and exclude her, so her violent temper has restrained, and she can live happily. Who wants to quarrel with people every day with a straight face?

Duomei stood up, endured and endured, and finally decided not to argue with her because her second sister was pregnant.

But when it comes to sharing joy, it is obvious that her second sister is not a good match, so Duomei left and went to find Gao Shufang.

Since the two of them studied tailoring together, their aunt and sister-in-law got along very well.

Gao Mingcheng also went to Grandma Xi's house, and the two dogs followed him and went together.

He was still holding a little rabbit in his hand, which he happened to see when he was practicing boxing in the mountains this morning. He didn't use a throwing knife or hit it with a stone, but relied on his running speed to chase it. on, and caught.

Gao Zhuang told him last time that he wanted to raise rabbits, and he strongly supported him, and he also promised that if he caught a little rabbit, he would give it to Gao Zhuang to raise.

It has been almost a month now, and Gao Zhuang has built a rabbit pen in the backyard, and has raised twenty or thirty rabbits one after another. Most of these rabbits were sent by Gao Mingcheng.

Rabbits also eat grass, but raising rabbits is different from raising cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep can be taken out and let them graze on their own, but rabbits can’t. If you take the rabbit out, you can’t take it back!
So to raise rabbits, you have to mow grass and feed them.

In addition to eating grass, rabbits also eat vegetables. Some old vegetable leaves in the field can be eaten by rabbits, and Gao Zhuang heard that rabbits can eat carrots and pumpkins, so he specially replanted some carrots and pumpkins later, planning to wait until winter When there is little grass, it can be used as rations for rabbits.

"Grandma, Gao Zhuang." Gao Mingcheng greeted him as soon as he entered the door.

It's almost lunch time now, Grandma Xi and Gao Zhuang are both at home, sitting under the eaves choosing vegetables.

"Brother Mingcheng! Have you caught another rabbit?" Gao Zhuang immediately smiled when he saw the live rabbit in Gao Mingcheng's hand.

He walked over, took the rabbit in Gao Mingcheng's hand, and put it into the rabbit pen.

The rabbit pen is made of bricks and plastered with cement to prevent the rabbits from escaping.

He put the rabbit in his hand into the rabbit ring, then turned his head and said to Gao Mingcheng: "Brother Mingcheng, two rabbits in my family are pregnant! I asked someone, and they said that they will give birth in a few days! "

His voice was full of excitement and anticipation, and he couldn't wait for the rabbit to give birth.Rabbits can give birth to six to twelve rabbits in one litter. As long as the rabbits are pregnant and give birth normally, it will be easy to reproduce.

Gao Mingcheng stood outside and observed, and found that Gao Zhuang was really caring. These rabbits were well-raised. Among them, two female rabbits had enlarged bellies and a good appetite, and they kept eating there.

"It's pretty good. After a few more months, I can sell it for money." Gao Mingcheng boasted with a smile.

After watching the rabbits, Gao Mingcheng came to Grandma Xi again, and said, "Grandma Xi, I will take Duomi to Yangcheng the day after tomorrow, and if the black tiger and elves come to your house, you can feed them a few God eats."

When Grandma Xiao heard this, she immediately agreed, "Okay, don't worry, I will feed them."

Both Heihu and Elf have lived with Grandma Xi for a while, and Grandma Xi also has Fa Cai, so they can be regarded as companions.

Oh, Fa Cai is the dog raised by Gao Zhuang, and it was also given to Gao Zhuang by Gao Yue.

"Brother Mingcheng, are you going to Yangcheng? How long will you be there?" Gao Zhuang asked immediately, and then said: "Xiuman's natal family said that in a few days, they will come over to give her stomach money. Table wine. If you are going to go for many days, I will go to Xiuman's family and tell them to come back a few days later."

When this matter was mentioned, He Xiuman also looked at Gao Mingcheng with concern.

Gao Zhuang doesn't have many relatives and friends here, and Gao Mingcheng is very important among them. If Gao Mingcheng is not there when the wine is served, it will be somewhat unsightly.

Besides, it's fine for her natal family to come over a few days later or a few days earlier.

Gao Mingcheng found out about this, so he said: "There is no fixed time yet, it will take about half a month to go!"

Gao Zhuang immediately said: "Okay, I will go to Xiuman's house tomorrow, tell my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and ask them to come back half a month later."

Gao Mingcheng understood what Gao Zhuang meant, and felt a little warm in his heart, and said with a smile, "Okay!"
