Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 276 Cheerful Breath

Gao Mingcheng ran wildly in the mountains, feeling the taste of freedom.

Although long-distance drivers make money, their jobs are not easy to do. Not to mention the dangers encountered on the road, driving alone is tiring enough.

When a person sits in the driver's seat, he can drive for several hours at least. However, human energy is limited. Driving for a long time will cause visual fatigue. The longer the driving time, the heavier the body fatigue will be.

Moreover, in recent years, the transportation company has received countless orders. Before he left, Xiao Jinfeng had to go to Shandong himself to transport a carload of apples back.

Now he got rid of the driver's position and ran wantonly in the mountains and forests, with him in front and two dogs chasing him behind.

The weeds in the mountains have long withered and are not as luxuriant as in the other three seasons, and the leaves of the deciduous trees have also turned yellow and dropped.Only a few evergreen trees in all seasons still maintain the true color of the mountain forest.

In this case, the pines and cypresses were particularly conspicuous. Gao Mingcheng saw many cypress trees along the way, and there were more or less mature cypress seeds hanging on those cypress trees.

Cypress seeds are also a medicinal material with many functions. If they are picked to make pillows, they can be harvested in September.If you want to collect cypress kernels, you have to harvest them in late October. When the scales of the cypress cones change from green to yellow-green and the scales are slightly cracked, the seeds are of high quality.

And if it is used as medicine, it is basically to use Baiziren.Because of this time issue, Gao Mingcheng did not deliberately collect Baiziren before participating in the drug fair.

After that, he got busy with miscellaneous things again, so he forgot about it.

At this time, the scales of the cypress seeds hanging on the tree have been completely cracked, and the cypress kernels inside have fallen to the ground.

Obviously, these overcooked Baiziren are useless.

Gao Mingcheng walked quickly through the bushes, with various thoughts popping up in his mind.

He had already moved the beehives to the forest at the foot of the mountain, and now he was going to look at the Poria cocos he had planted. Those Poria cocos were planted in May. During the growth process, a small part of them died, but most of them survived.

Soon, he came to the hillside where Poria cocos was planted. The place was relatively empty, only the poria cocos seedlings were particularly conspicuous.

Poria cocos mainly absorbs nutrients from pine wood, so during the planting process, there is no need to fertilize, just keep the soil moist, and weeding and weeding are enough.

Gao Mingcheng discovered that the remaining Poria cocos were not dead, but due to the dry weather, their growth was not very good, and they were a little thin and wilted.

Being in the mountains, even if Gao Mingcheng is physically strong, he can't lift water to irrigate it, so he can only let it grow naturally.

After turning all the Fuling fields around, the time came to 12:30.

Gao Mingcheng said to the two dogs: "Go, go home!"

"Woof!" the two dogs barked, excited.

For the two dogs, the amount of exercise today has already reached the standard, but because they haven't been in the mountains for a long time, they are very excited and don't feel tired at all.

So one person and two dogs started to go down the mountain, and all kinds of small animals fled in a hurry due to the noise.

When Gao Mingcheng went down the mountain and returned home, Duomei had already cooked all the meals and was warming them in a big iron pot.

Duomei bent over to pull out radishes in the vegetable field, and there was already a small pile of radishes at her feet.

At this time, the radish is not very big, only as thick as a baby's arm, but it is very tender!This kind of tender radish is good for frying with meat, and that kind of big radish is good for stewed soup.

Seeing Gao Mingcheng going down the mountain, Duomi straightened up and said, "I'm going to bring more food, and buy what I can save."

Most of the vegetables in winter have been planted, and because they are diligent in watering and fertilizing, they grow quite well.

Gao Mingcheng glanced at it, and said, "You don't need to bring too much, I have to come back tomorrow to pick up things, and then I'll bring vegetables over there."

There are too many things today, I'm afraid I can't carry them in one car, so Gao Mingcheng thinks that he may have to come back tomorrow.

Although winter vegetables are not easy to spoil, it is better to eat fresh ones.

"Alright then." Duomei stopped pulling radishes and walked out of the vegetable field.

Gao Mingcheng hugged the plucked radish, and the two walked home side by side.

After lunch, after packing up my things, I was ready to go out without much delay.

It's just that when he saw the scalper, Gao Mingcheng frowned slightly in thought. He felt that the cow was a bit cumbersome.

It's been almost a year since I bought the cattle. The cattle have not been used yet, but they seem to be on the verge of being eliminated.

He only has one mu of land, even if he plows the field manually, he can't get tired, let alone he bought a tractor now!

The front and body of the tractor can be disassembled, and then a plowing tool can be installed, and the tractor can be driven to work in the field. How easy it is!
Here, although it is a hilly area, the fields are connected together and are relatively flat. It is completely possible to use a tractor to work, but the mountainous area is not enough.

"What are you looking at? There is not much grass outside now, so I haven't taken the cattle and sheep out much. Let my brother take the cattle out for a walk later." Duomei walked past Gao Mingcheng with a bag of things.

In winter, there is little fodder, and most of the cattle and sheep eat hay, such as dried sweet potato vines and dried straw.

In addition to these, radish leaves, radish skins and old cabbage leaves that are not eaten by humans can also be fed to livestock.

"I was wondering whether to sell the cow." Gao Mingcheng didn't hide anything, and said what he wanted.

This cow is not of much use anymore, and I have to take care of it to eat and drink every day, which is really tiring.

As for the sheep, it is different. These two sheep are raised until the New Year and killed for food. Relatives and friends with good relations will send some, and the rest will be kept for myself to eat slowly.

"Sell the cow? To whom?" Many beautiful people had a choice in mind, but she didn't ask because she knew that her second sister's family might not have the money to buy the cow.

Gao Mingcheng also has a candidate in mind, and wants to sell it to his father. His father has a lot of land, and now the third and fourth children are working outside. As for the elder brother, he goes out to work when he has work, and stays at home to farm when he has no work.

But even so, the fields and fields at home are exhausting enough.

It's just that father and son have to settle accounts clearly. He plans to talk to his father about this matter tomorrow to see if his father is willing to buy it?
If you are willing to buy it, it can come in handy during spring plowing.

"Let's talk about it, let's go to the county now, and there are still a lot of things to do in the county." Gao Mingcheng said vaguely, and strode out of the house.

There is only room for one person in the driver's seat of the tractor, so many beautiful people sit in the back of the truck.

When the car arrived at her second sister's house, Duomei got out of the car and asked her brother to take care of her house, land and livestock.

Zhang Chengyuan is also familiar with this matter, and after receiving the key, he immediately agreed.

Relatives should take care of each other, let alone do things for Gao Mingcheng, Gao Mingcheng will not treat him badly, so Zhang Chengyuan is very happy.

He had no friends, no entertainment, and work was his way of passing the time.

After explaining to Zhang Chengyuan, the tractor continued to move forward, and then came to the entrance of the pond in the old village.

This time Gao Mingcheng got off the car, and he was going to call Gao Shufang at home.

In the past, I happened to meet Gao Zhuang who was walking around the village with He Xiuman. He Xiuman's belly was already very big, even in thick cotton clothes, it was obvious.

Grandma Xi and Gao Zhuang were willing to give her food and drink, so she ate meat every now and then throughout her pregnancy, her face became round and she looked very good.

"Brother Mingcheng." Gao Zhuang hadn't seen him for a long time, so he greeted him excitedly when we met.

"Hi, I haven't seen you for a long time. When I'm free, let's have a meal together." Gao Mingcheng was also very emotional when he saw Gao Zhuang.

Once a person has a family, he has responsibilities.

Gao Zhuang followed him every day before, but now he also takes on his responsibility.Most of the work in the field is done by Gao Zhuang. When he is free, he will accompany Grandma Xi and He Xiuman to talk and listen to the radio together.

In two months, Gao Zhuang's child will be born. At that time, he will have more responsibilities, and Gao Zhuang, who is busy taking care of the family, will obviously not be able to follow behind Gao Mingcheng as before.

Gao Mingcheng was a little bit emotional, but he was more happy for Gao Zhuang.

Family is a kind of responsibility and also a kind of happiness.

When Gao Mingcheng was talking to Gao Zhuang, Gao Shufang who heard the movement had already come out with a bag, she was bouncing around, her whole body was full of joy.

"Second brother, I'm packing up and I can go!" Gao Shufang smiled brightly.
