Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 369 A small harvest in the orchard

In the end, Luo Xiaohua took away three strings of bracelets.

She looked at the beautiful bracelet and felt excited in her heart. What woman doesn't love jewelry?
Last time Gao Mingcheng gave Gao Nainai a silver hairpin, Luo Xiaohua was very greedy, but he was too embarrassed to ask for it directly.

When she saw Grandma Xin wearing the same silver hairpin, she scolded Gao Mingcheng in her heart.

She felt that Gao Mingcheng was attracted to outsiders and would not kiss her as a mother.

This time, Gao Mingcheng gave her a black and white TV set and a bracelet for her family, which made her feel relieved. She thought, even if Gao Mingcheng gave her a bracelet, would she have a TV set?
This biological son is his biological son after all!
Luo Xiaohua was right. Gao Mingcheng turned around and went to Grandma Xixi's house.

He went to check on Xiao Yuanyuan and also gave two bracelets to Grandma Xi and He Xiuman.

Grandma Xi and He Xiuman were at home, feeding porridge to Xiao Yuanyuan.

When the two parties met, Gao Mingcheng first asked about Xiao Yuanyuan's situation, and then took out the bracelet.

As a result, the little round eyes were also looking at the bracelet, and the black eyeballs were glowing with intelligence, seeming to be very interested in the bracelet.

"Ha, do you want Little Yuanyuan too? Uncle, there are some here!" Gao Mingcheng took a conch bracelet from the bag and handed it to Little Yuanyuan, who immediately reached out to take it.

But Gao Mingcheng took it away with a smirk, washed it with water, and then gave it to Xiao Yuanyuan again.

This conch is relatively large. Even if the thread breaks during playing, it is not easy for children to swallow it.

Children as big as Xiao Yuanyuan like to eat from their hands, and they will also put things in their hands into their mouths and bite them.

"This is the conch? It's so beautiful!" Grandma Xiao smiled as she watched her little granddaughter play with the conch bracelet, and called Gao Mingcheng to have dinner at home at noon.

Gao Mingcheng naturally agreed. He had just returned to the village, and his family was too lazy to get food.

"Okay, I'll go check out the fields first and then come back after dinner." Gao Mingcheng said.

"Hey, okay." Grandma Xi responded and watched him leave.

Gao Mingcheng followed the path and came to the field.

The fields in Gaojia Village are all gathered together and the terrain is flat. Now everything depends on manpower, but in the future, harvesters will be hired every year during harvest, which saves a lot of energy and time.

At the end of June, the weather is hot. At this time, it is the time when the early rice is about to mature.

Gao Mingcheng walked all the way, looking at the rice fields on both sides of the field to see whose rice ears grew well and whose rice ears grew average.

Soon, he came to his field.

Standing on the ridge of the field, the wind blew, the seedlings swayed, making a rustling sound, and at the same time a refreshing fragrance hit my nostrils.

Among the dense seedlings, there was a man hunched over, bowing his head and pulling weeds.

"Dad." Gao Mingcheng called, took off his shoes, and walked into the field barefoot.

The person who pulled weeds for him was Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuanyuan heard his voice and looked up.

Seeing that Gao Mingcheng was back, he immediately said, "Why are you back? I see a lot of grass growing in your field, so I'll pull it out for you. If you don't pull out the grass, the rice won't grow."

"Hey, thank you, dad." Gao Mingcheng thanked him politely.

He hired Zhang Chengyuan to look after the orchard and vegetable fields and feed the livestock for him, but Zhang Chengyuan could not handle this field alone.

Since he only had one acre of land, he wasn't very concerned about it.

This field was originally separated from the family's field and was connected together. Therefore, when Gao Yuan was managing his own field, he would more or less help look after Gao Mingcheng's field. If Gao Mingcheng was in the village, Then high vision will tell him when to fertilize, when to pull weeds, and when to prepare for harvest.

The older generation in the village attaches great importance to food.

Gao Mingcheng also lowered his head to pull weeds, and pinched the millet on the rice ears with his hands. It had just been filled with rice. After pinching the rice, milky white juice flowed out.The skin of the rice is still green. When it turns golden, the rice inside will become very hard. At this time, it is time to harvest.

If harvested in advance, the rice will break easily and have a bad shape during hulling and milling, which will not only affect the selling price but also the taste.

"Why do you have so many hands? You can pinch it once and it will break!" Gao Yuanyuan saw Gao Mingcheng's actions and reprimanded him distressedly.

This grain of rice is just a grain of rice!

It's a waste if you pinch it.

Gao Mingcheng didn't pinch it intentionally, he just accidentally pinched it because of his strong hands. He was scolded, so he only smiled sheepishly.

When father and son work together, the speed is very fast.

In a short time, all the grass in an acre of field was uprooted.

Gao Yuanyuan said with a hint of pity: "You are always running around. This year, the rice in your field is not so full."

Gao Mingcheng just smiled. If he didn't run around, what would happen even if the field was turned into flowers?

Not to mention one acre of land, even ten acres of land is not enough to feed and clothe the family.

"Dad, I bought you a second-hand black and white TV. It is now at home. You should go back and watch TV quickly." Gao Mingcheng said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gao Yuan hurriedly walked up the field. His feet were muddy and he didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He just held them in his hand and walked towards the old village while complaining: "Such a big thing. You didn’t tell me earlier!”

What can Gao Mingcheng say?He couldn't say that he wanted his dad to help him with things, so that's why he didn't say it right away!
After coming out of the field, Gao Mingcheng went to the ditch to wash his feet, put on his shoes again, and then drove the tractor back to Niuweiling.

There is a cluster of bamboo forest on the side of the road. In the middle of the bamboo forest, there are several water paulownia trees. Originally, the water paulownia trees were here first, otherwise it would be difficult for there to be other trees in the bamboo forest.

Because bamboo is a very domineering plant, people can often see bamboo forests, bamboo mountains, etc. with single vegetation.

Before the tractor came to a stop, Black Tiger and Elf sprang out from nowhere, shouting happily and running towards Gao Mingcheng.

One person and two dogs hadn't seen each other for a few days, so they immediately started playing together.

After combing the fur of both dogs into a mess, Gao Mingcheng stood up with satisfaction.

"Okay, it's time to work." Gao Mingcheng said, striding towards the vegetable field.

Every time I return to the village, the first thing I do is inspect my territory.

Well, the vegetable plot is well managed.

There's nothing wrong with this pond.

Ho!The cassia trees grow so lushly on this hillside!
We went up the mountain again and checked the conditions of various fruit trees. There were several fruits on the peach trees before, but now the fruits were still hanging on the treetops. After careful counting, there were actually fifteen peaches!
These peaches are of the peach variety, but they are not very big. The tips of the peaches are already a little red, but the buttocks of the peaches are still green.

Gao Mingcheng picked the reddest one and didn't bother to go down the mountain to get water to wash it. He just wiped it with his clothes and then put it in his mouth to eat.

Well, except for the fact that there is a little hair on the peel, it tastes pretty good, sour and sweet, with a lot of peach flavor!

Some peaches from later generations have only water and no honey!
Those peaches looked big, red, and extremely beautiful, and the price was prohibitively expensive. So I bought them and ate them, but ended up feeling lonely after eating them!
Gao Mingcheng gnawed the peaches clean in a few seconds and threw the peach cores everywhere. He looked at the remaining peaches and decided to pick them again when he returned to the county and bring them back to Duomei and the others to have a taste.

In addition to peaches, the largest bayberry tree also bears fruit.

It is indeed a variety of Dongkui bayberry. The bayberry on the tree is very big, much larger than the local wild bayberry!
However, this kind of bayberry tree is a relatively late-maturing variety, and the bayberries on the tree have not yet completely turned red.

Gao Mingcheng walked around under the tree a few times and was quite satisfied. He planned to pick the red bayberries after they matured. They would not sell them. If the fruit was grown on just one tree, if they were all picked, it would only weigh about twenty kilograms. So just eat it yourself.

Share a portion with relatives and friends. If there is more, use it to make bayberry wine. In short, it will not be wasted.

So the bayberry is not yet mature, but its fate has been planned.
