Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 347
Gao Mingcheng resolutely refused, and the village party secretary had no choice but to leave in embarrassment.

What Gao Mingcheng didn't expect was that as soon as the village party secretary left him, he turned around and went to find his elder brother Gao Mingpeng.

Gao Mingpeng is also a junior high school graduate, and now he has formed a construction team to take over the work of building pigpens, cowpens and kitchens in nearby villages.

His personal ability can also be a good accountant, so when the village party secretary asked him to be an accountant in the village committee, Gao Mingpeng agreed without thinking too much.

Gao Mingpeng agreed to be an accountant, firstly because he thought he had the ability, and secondly because it would improve his prestige in the village, so that when he received a big order in the future, he would be able to form a construction team faster and better.

When Gao Mingcheng found out, everything was a foregone conclusion, so Gao Mingcheng didn't say much. Anyway, there are still 99 years left before 11. Let Gao Mingpeng work for a few years first, and then call Gao Mingpeng when the situation is not right. Just resign.

Gao Mingpeng was very happy, and specially called Gao Mingcheng to come to eat at home. He also bought two catties of meat, fried a plate of loach, and vegetables grown in the field. The dishes on the table were very rich.

Gao Yuanjian was also very happy, and brought out the good wine from his collection, and the father and son drank it to their heart's content.

During the dinner, Gao Yuanjian held his one-year-old grandson in his arms, and made a fuss about dipping chopsticks in wine for him to eat.

The one-year-old child didn't like this kind of stimulating taste, and his facial features wrinkled into a ball, struggling to get off the ground, and ran to grandma Luo Xiaohua.

Luo Xiaohua comforted him with a smile, saying that during the Chinese New Year, I would give him sweet wine, which is sweet and delicious.

Children don't know what rum is, they only know the word sweet, so they want to eat it.

Gao Mingcheng glanced at his eldest nephew, the little guy looks pretty good, and he was a handsome guy until puberty, but unfortunately he was too addicted to cigarettes later, his teeth were smoked yellow at a young age, and his face looked like he had aged several years .

As soon as he thought about it, Gao Mingcheng smelled smoke. It turned out that the meal was [-]% full. Gao Yuanjian and Gao Mingpeng both took out their cigarettes and lit them up to smoke.

Amidst the smoke, his vision became blurry, but Luo Xiaohua still sat and played with the little guy in his arms.

At this moment, Gao Mingcheng was glad that Duo Mei didn't come to eat because her second sister called her to go.

After drinking and eating, Gao Mingcheng didn't stay long, and planned to go to many Yu's houses to pick up many beauty.

While walking in the alleyway of the old village, I met Gao Liang who was carrying a bucket. When Gao Liang saw him, he immediately called out: "Mingcheng, do you want to take a bath in the reservoir?"

Gao Mingcheng glanced at his bucket, which contained a set of clean clothes and a bar of soap.

Suddenly, Gao Mingcheng also wanted to go for a swim in the water.

When I lived in the county, the longer I lived, the more aggrieved I felt, and I haven't gone swimming in the reservoir this year.

So he immediately agreed.

"You go first, I'll come back after I get a change of clothes."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you!" Gao Liang said with a smile, and went to the reservoir first.

When Gao Mingcheng came over with a change of clothes, he found that many people were already taking a bath in the reservoir, some were swimming in the water, and some were taking a bath not far from the shore.

There are basically all men here, because women will bathe in another small reservoir.

The sky was a little dark, but it didn't prevent everyone from recognizing each other.

Gao Mingcheng put the clean clothes on the bushes by the water, then stripped off neatly, and plunged into the water.

He swam a few meters before emerging from the bottom of the water.

"Mingcheng, are you coming to the competition?" Gao Liang also swam to his side.

"Okay." Gao Mingcheng agreed straight away, not only Gao Liang, but several other young people also came over one after another, saying that they would compete in swimming together.

He also said that those who lost would buy a pack of cigarettes for everyone to smoke.

During the conversation, everyone was ready, and it was agreed that the first person to swim to the other side would win.

The reservoir in Gaojia Village is not big. This reservoir is relatively narrow and long. It is formed in the middle of two mountains and circles the mountains. The longest distance is 300 meters away.

Although everyone just lives in a small mountain village, these boys are raised in the reservoir every summer, and all of them are not bad at water.

With the sound of "start", everyone struggled to swim to the other side.

Gao Mingcheng also swam hard, and didn't even think about letting the water go, because he hadn't swam for nearly a year, and he couldn't swim as fast as Gao Liang and the others at first.

But fortunately, he has a good physique and strong endurance. As he chased her step by step, he was almost able to catch up.

100 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters!

Swimming requires skill, but also physical strength. When swimming to 200 meters, some people gradually lost their strength and slowed down, but Gao Mingcheng's speed was not affected and continued to move forward.

In the end, in the last ten meters, Gao Mingcheng surpassed others one by one and won the crown!
Gao Mingcheng stood on the opposite bank, laughed loudly and said, "I won! Haha!"

With a hearty laugh, Gao Mingcheng only felt that his body and mind were full of joy, as if his soul was a real 20-year-old boy, so he felt very happy for a little win or loss.

"Hey, you are awesome!"

"Mingcheng, did you go swimming in the county?"

Gao Liang and others all lost, and they were all a little frustrated, but not angry, so someone asked Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng naturally said that he had never gone swimming. He said: "There is Foling Reservoir in the county, but it is far away from where I live, so I have never been there. There is also the largest Houxi Reservoir in the county, but there is It's even further away."

Gao Liang said, "We've been in the water since May, and we can't even compare to you!"

Gao Mingcheng laughed, remembering the bet at the beginning, so he said: "How about this, I will buy cigarettes for everyone to smoke, so that everyone can be happy with me!"

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately cheered up.

A few people just swam 300 meters, and they were a little tired at the moment, so they sat on the shore and talked.

"Mingcheng, you have been to other places, and you have a broad perspective. If we go out to work, where should we go?" The person who asked this question was Gao Liang, but others also looked at Gao Mingcheng, waiting for his answer. .

In the previous tree stealing, Gao Liang was also arrested. Although Gao Guobing came forward to protect them all afterwards, he was also warned not to steal trees and sell them.

After losing the income from selling trees, the young people in the village couldn't sit still.

Naturally, there were reasons for the formation of the wave of millions of migrant workers in 88.

In Gao Mingcheng's impression, the young people in Gaojia Village went out to work relatively late, and had to wait until the [-]s.

But now that he looked at the expectant eyes of Gao Liang and the others, he realized that everyone had been looking forward to going out to make money as early as this time.

This may have something to do with his building a house in the county and opening a clothing store, or it may have something to do with Gao Mingwan. Every time Gao Mingwan comes back, he will brag to the villagers about what he saw and heard in the sports car, and how much the outside world is described. colorful.

Hearing this a lot makes people unconsciously curious and longing for the outside world.

Gao Mingcheng pondered for a moment, decided to tell the truth about what he saw and heard in Yangcheng, and said: "It's not that I want to persuade everyone to stay in the village, but the situation outside is not very good. If you have someone with you, If you have a clear place to go and something to do, then you can go, but if not, you may not be able to find a job if you rush to a big city."

This year in Yangcheng and other places, a large number of migrant workers could not find work and could only wander on the streets.Next year, due to the triangular debt, a large number of enterprises will close down, or they will not be able to pay wages. At that time, the workers in the factory will not have an easy life.

Going out to work at this time, the prospects are naturally not good.

"The price of rice has been rising every year in the past few years. If you can grow some rice, you can make a steady profit. You can also raise more pigs and chickens."

"If you really want to go outside to make money, then I have two suggestions. One is to go to the county to start a food business, go to the school gate or the factory gate to set up a stall to sell fried noodles, tofu nao, jelly, etc. The other is to go to The county picks up scraps and sells them."

"But for these two, we have to solve the problem of food and accommodation in the county."

Gao Mingcheng sincerely gave his suggestions, as to whether to listen or not, it was up to them.

Gao Liang and the others were indeed in deep thought, and no one spoke for a while.

But after a while, a person suddenly said: "Mingcheng, my family wants to keep bees. Do you think you can find a queen bee in your beehive?"

Gao Mingcheng looked at the person who spoke, he was two years older than him, and he was also from Dafang's side.

He said: "I have to go to the mountains tomorrow to see if I can separate the queen bee. If I can, I will share it with you."

"Hey, thank you." The man immediately thanked happily.

The price of honey is quite high, and when the villagers saw Gao Mingcheng's beekeeping, it seemed that it was not too much trouble, so some people began to be tempted.

But for the matter of beekeeping, it seems that other people do not need to manage it. You can easily get honey and sell it for money, but there are quite a lot of ways to do it.

In addition to the technical ones, the most important thing is that you have to overcome your psychological fear. When you open the beehive to get honey, there are densely packed bees in the beehive, and they will fly around you. Once you feel that you are harmful to them, immediately Just sting you.

Being stung by a bee is very painful.

Therefore, when taking honey, you must wear long-sleeved trousers, a hood, and gloves to prevent bees from stinging people. Then use a brush to gently brush off the bees, and then go to the side to shake the honey.

Gao Mingcheng didn't wear the hood anymore, because he found that the bees were very friendly to him and never attacked him. Even if the bees landed on him, they didn't sting him.

Therefore, he didn't bother to put on the hood and gloves, and he just went on like this, and the speed was faster.

He didn't know if it was related to his meditation, but in his previous life on the Internet, he did see a beekeeper directly naked, and the bees covered it layer by layer, but they didn't hurt the beekeeper.

In addition to the beekeeper, he also saw the snake keeper. It was obviously a poisonous snake, but the poisonous snake crawled all over the snake keeper, but it did not hurt the snake keeper.

This may have some unique skills, or it may just be the fate of such a species.

The night is getting darker and the stars are shining brightly.

Elderly people had already taken a shower and went home, while Gao Mingcheng and his group of young people were talking and laughing, put on clean clothes, and went home with dirty clothes.

Go back to each house, each find each... wife!

Gao Mingcheng came home late because he went swimming in the reservoir. When he got home, Many Meizao was already at home and was listening to songs on the radio. She sang along while listening.

The small courtyard was filled with her singing.

Gao Mingcheng stood at the door of the courtyard and listened for a while. After the song ended, he walked in.

"You sing really well." Gao Mingcheng praised his wife without hesitation.

Many beauty blinked and smiled embarrassedly.

Gao Mingcheng saw that she had changed into her pajamas, so she couldn't help but said, "You went to fetch water by yourself? Why didn't you wait for me to come back?"

Many beauty said disapprovingly: "It's just carrying a few buckets of water, and I'm not tired. Besides, the water level in the well was high in the first half of the year, so I lifted it up in no time."

She has been pregnant until now, except for the early pregnancy that made her suffer a little bit, other times she feels that she is in good health. Besides, after pregnancy, which woman in this village has not been working until the day she is born?
When giving birth, it is okay if it catches up with the slack season, but if unfortunately it catches up with the busy season, then the child will be born in the field.

"I know you care about me, but I'm not that delicate." Many beauty said.

Gao Mingcheng looked at his wife's pretty face, so he didn't say anything.This is the situation at this moment, unlike later generations, when women in later generations are pregnant, they can't wait to confess.

"By the way, some of the cucumbers we planted are old. My brother is also an honest man. He asked him to help take care of the vegetable field. He didn't pick the vegetables when they were old. I went around the vegetable field today and took all the old cucumbers. Pick it up and ask him to take it back and feed it to the pigs." Duomei said.

"Okay, just look at the arrangement."

The husband and wife talked a few words at night and went to bed.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Gao Mingcheng got up early.

Breathing the fresh air, Gao Mingcheng ran all the way to the mountains. After practicing boxing as usual, he was sweating all over his body, which was very comfortable.

It was only six o'clock when he came back home all the way down the mountain. After boiling the porridge and rice, he put a big log in the stove and burned it, so he didn't have to worry about it.

"Heihu, Elf, let's go to the market!" Gao Mingcheng whispered, leading the two dogs and ran all the way to Junling.

Today is the market day in Junling, and he plans to go there to buy some fresh meat and other food.

When we arrived at the market, it was already full of people, and people from more than a dozen nearby villages came here to go to the market.

There is never a shortage of customers in front of the meat stall, and many people gather there to buy meat. Now when buying meat, it is the butcher who cuts it and counts, and the customers can't point it out.

Gao Mingcheng saw that the foreleg meat was being cut, so he immediately ordered two catties, and then he also asked for a tube bone and a flat bone. After weighing it, he put it in a basket without a bag.

Ever since he raised a dog, he has loved buying bones. The bone stew is delicious, and he can throw the bones to the dog after eating the meat.

"Ming Cheng, you come to the market too. Take some of the tomatoes and eggplants I grow at home and eat them!" A middle-aged woman's voice sounded, and Gao Mingcheng followed the prestige and saw Huang Dazhi's mother.

She was bending over to take something from her own basket, and was about to put it into Gao Mingcheng's basket while talking.

Gao Mingcheng turned sideways and avoided it. He said with a smile, "No need, my family has also grown vegetables, and there is no shortage of vegetables to eat. You should sell them for money."

Huang's mother was very enthusiastic. She had a good impression of Gao Mingcheng, so she was willing to send food to Gao Mingcheng. Finally, under her insistence, the tomatoes and eggplants were still put into the basket.

Gao Mingcheng didn't refuse any more, and asked about Xiaoguai's situation again.

When it comes to Xiaoguai, Huang's mother is still a little dissatisfied, because she thinks that if she wants to adopt a child, she can just adopt a girl who is not wanted by the neighbors, and it will be healthy.

But after all, it has been raised for a while, and Xiaoguai is really well-behaved and easy to take care of, so she smiled and praised Xiaoguai.

"The child is very good. Xiao An also cares about her and takes care of her very well. She also said that he will change the wheelchair he was sitting in before, and change it into one that can accommodate the child."

"It's pretty good, sitting up and down and climbing up and down, and now the child can sit securely, and it's easy to push and walk around in the car." Gao Mingcheng echoed.

He decided that after his son was born, he would also have to build a stroller for the child, and when the time came, he would be able to push it around.
