Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 25

When Gao Mingcheng saw him packing his things, he knew that the school would start tomorrow, and he would go to school early in the afternoon and live in the school.

The junior high school is in the town. If you walk from their village, you have to walk for two hours. Of course, you can’t go back and forth every day. You can only live in the school. Bring some pickles, or if you need to spend money on something, you still have to get the money from your parents.

"Mingli, Shufang." Gao Mingcheng leaned against the window and greeted his siblings.

The two people in the room looked up and smiled.

In fact, Gao Mingli and Gao Shufang liked Gao Mingcheng, the second brother. After all, Gao Mingcheng was very good at fighting, and he was very famous in the neighborhood. Don't dare to bully them.

"Second brother, come inside, fourth brother is going to school, the three of us talk." Gao Shufang beckoned for Gao Mingcheng to come in.

"No, I have something to do later. Now, this is the honey I got from the mountains, for my family! Fourth, please eat two more bites later." Gao Mingcheng said with a smile, and took a bowl of honey directly from the The windows were sent in.

Gao Shufang hurriedly stepped forward to take it, smelling the unique sweetness of honey, she felt her saliva was about to flow out.

Everyone knows that there is honey in the mountains, but there are still a few who can get honey.

Firstly, it is not easy to find a beehive, and secondly, even if one finds a beehive, not everyone dares to touch it. After all, most country people have experienced the feeling of being stung by a bee.

That kind of pain can make most people give up the idea of ​​stealing honey.

After all, Gao Shufang is a girl, she is more careful, restraining her salivation for honey, and asked full of concern: "Second brother, have you been stung by honey?"

She looked carefully at Gao Mingcheng's face. Generally speaking, the face is the most likely to be stung.

However, Gao Mingcheng's face was clean, without any marks of redness or swelling.

Gao Mingcheng lay on the window sill with his upper body lying on the window sill, smiling casually: "Who am I? I run so fast, the bees can't catch up! Tell my parents, let them not be reluctant to eat, I can still get it in the future."

"Oh, the bowl belongs to Gao Zhuang's family. After you vacate the bowl, send it to Gao Zhuang's house. I won't come to get it later if I have something else to do."

With that said, Gao Mingcheng was about to leave.

Gao Shufang called him quickly, "Second brother, do you really want to marry Duomei? Yesterday Gao Fuqiang's wife came and said, and my parents were very angry."

"The country is advocating free love. I am responding to the call of the country. Arranged marriages are a remnant of feudalism and are unacceptable! Mingli, Shufang, you two, don't be cowardly. You have to find someone you like when you get married. What's the difference?" Gao Mingcheng said with a playful smile, encouraging the two siblings overtly and secretly.

The marriage of the two of them in the previous life was considered half an arranged marriage. After the blind date, they got married and had children. Although they would not be noisy in their whole life, it was also flat and without passion.

Of course, Gao Mingcheng was just talking casually, but he would not really interfere in the marriages of his siblings.

Gao Shufang wrinkled her nose, thinking that her second brother's words were too harsh. What is pig breeding? It's really hard to bear to look at.

Gao Mingcheng smiled, and was about to leave when Gao Mingli said, "Second brother, I'm going to school this afternoon, you can go home to sleep at night, the two of you won't be crowded."

The three of them were squeezed into one bed, it was alright in winter, but it was really stuffy in summer.

But the second brother always lives in someone else's house, which is not a solution. Although the parents didn't say anything, they obviously have opinions.

Gao Mingli called him to come back to live, but Gao Mingcheng didn't want to come back.

It's not that he is greedy for the good conditions of Gao Zhuang's family, but that he needs a certain amount of privacy now.

He needs to sit cross-legged in meditation at night, and he needs to run around during the day. If he gets some wild game and wild animals, there may be a lot of people watching at home, so there may be troubles.

But in Gao Zhuang's house, Grandma Xi and Gao Zhuang will not covet his things, and they will keep their mouths tight.

So, the fool just went home to live!
Gao Mingcheng turned around and left, waving with his back to them: "Let's go."

After watching him leave, Gao Mingli and Gao Shufang looked at each other, and then their attention was attracted by the bowl of honey.

The bowl is very big, a bowl full of honey weighs more than a catty.

Right now, white granulated sugar costs one yuan a catty, and the family rarely buys it. Even if they buy it, it is hidden by his mother and will not be eaten easily.

"Shall we eat something first?" Gao Mingli asked tentatively.

Now there are only the two of them in the family, as long as both of them eat something and don't say anything, no one will know.

Anyway, it was sent by the second brother, and it was not bought by the family.

Gao Shufang was also very greedy, so she nodded quickly, so like thieves, the two brothers and sisters first picked up a little honey with clean chopsticks and ate it, then melted some honey with warm water, and drank the honey water happily.

"It's so sweet! It tastes better than the soda I bought!" Gao Shufang looked satisfied, and drank in small sips, fearing that if she drank too much, she would run out.

Gao Mingli didn't say anything, he ate more than Gao Shufang.

Didn't the second brother just say that, let him eat more!
When he goes to school, he won't be able to eat it!
Gao Shufang also knew this, so she didn't compare herself with Gao Mingli, she just drank from her own bowl cherishingly.

After leaving his home, Gao Mingcheng returned to Gao Zhuang's home. He picked up the cleaned knife and bucket, and prepared to return them to Duomei.

The sound of the radio came from Gao Zhuang's room, and Gao Mingcheng shouted outside: "I'm going out, you can listen to the story for a while before going to the mountains."

It was too hot outside, and the gang of tomb robbers would most likely not come until tomorrow, so Gao Mingcheng simply asked Gao Zhuangduo to stay at home to rest.

However, as soon as the voice fell, the sound of the radio disappeared.

Gao Zhuang ran out of the house, his face full of excitement, "Stop listening, let's go to the mountains!"

Ever since he successfully caught four rabbits, Gao Zhuang only felt that he was too good, and he wanted to take advantage of this luck to catch more rabbits.

Gao Mingcheng thought for a while, picked up a hoe and carried it on his shoulder, and said: "There are many wild things in the mountains, let's dig a few more traps, and then we don't have to spend every day there, just check it every morning and evening."

Gao Zhuang was very convinced of Brother Mingcheng's ability, and agreed without saying a word.

The two went out together and went to many beautiful homes first.

This time, Manyu was also at home, and the two sisters were drying some dried vegetables in the yard, including red peppers, eggplants, and long beans.

At the moment, these three kinds of vegetables are the most, but if you plant a third of the land, your family will not be able to eat them all. If you have more, you can either sell them in the market, or you can only dry them and save them for winter vegetables. Eat less.

Duomei was standing under the sun drying vegetables. When she looked up, she happened to see Gao Mingcheng approaching. She smiled before saying a word. Her sharp little face was young and beautiful, and her eyes full of smiles were shining under the sunlight. , like glowing.
