Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 372: Sour, so sour!

Because of the color TVs, Xiangjiang clothing and free bracelets, the business in the store has been quite good recently. In addition to the female customers who often shop, there are also many male customers. Especially when Gao Mingcheng is in the store, the number of male customers who come is... More, their main purpose was not to buy clothes, but to chat with Gao Mingcheng.

Regarding Gao Mingcheng's background, it is not a secret in this county. Although his social circle is not large, there are many people who know him.

Gao Mingcheng is also happy to entertain. He is actually a sociable person. In his previous life, he often lived away from home and hung out with all kinds of friends outside every day.

After his rebirth, he decided to focus on his family, so he cut back on a lot of social interactions.Many times, he did not use Gao Guobing's connections to contact and communicate with those people himself. Whatever he wanted to do, he would always use Gao Guobing to help him say hello.

Now these people come to his door and want to talk to him about what they see and hear outside and some situations in the county, and he is also happy to do so.

Ten days passed in a flash. Gao Mingcheng thought that the rice should be ripe, so he decided to go back to the village again.

This time, many beauties also decided to go back with them.

July is also called double robbery and is the busiest month for farmers.

After busy harvesting rice, they have to plow the fields, transplant rice seedlings, and plant the late rice.

When Gao Mingcheng returned, he saw a golden rice field in the distance before entering the village.

The ears of rice are already golden and hanging heavily, and even the seedlings are gradually turning yellow, and are only partially green. Gao Mingcheng can tell that the rice must be full and hard without pinching it with his hands.

There are already people working in the fields, and the drying field in the village is also full of rice.

"Ming Cheng is back! Your field may be harvested two days later, and it's not growing so well!" In the rice field, a man straightened up and said, his face was covered with sweat, but at the same time it was also full of the joy of a good harvest. joy.

Gao Mingcheng's rice fields grew slower than others because of poor management.

"Uncle Shouwang, I'll go check out the fields later." Gao Mingcheng greeted, and the tractor continued to go to Niuweiling. After it stopped, Gao Mingcheng said to Duo Mei, "It's hot outside, you stay at home. , I’ll go to the fields to take a look.”

Duo Mei smiled and said: "Everything in the house has to be cleaned up. After cleaning up, I still have to cook, so I can only stay at home."

When Gao Mingcheng heard this, he immediately thought of water, so he opened the kitchen door, picked up two buckets of water, and then went to the field.

While walking on the field ridge, I saw Gao Zhuang and He Xiuman also working in the fields. After greeting each other, Gao Mingcheng continued walking to his field.

When he arrived at his field, Gao Mingcheng observed the growth of the rice ears and found that it would be two days later before the rice could be harvested.

But now that he is back, there is no possibility of being idle. No, as soon as he saw him, Gao Yuan, who was working in the field nearby, called him to help.

My father calls for help, what can he do?Of course, just pick up the sickle and go for it!
With his joining, the harvest speed has been significantly accelerated.

Luo Xiaohua took the cut rice to the side of the thresher and beat down the grains with Huang Su'e. As for the empty straw, he piled it aside first and tied it up later and stood it upright in the rice field to dry. After drying, pick them back home for later use.

Straw has so many uses and every household will not waste it.

The children were not idle either. They each held small bamboo baskets and picked up fallen rice ears in the field. But most of these tasks were done by well-behaved girls. As for the boys, they only picked up the fallen rice ears for a short time. Pay attention. Li was attracted by the loaches and eels in the mud.

So one by one they started to catch loaches and eels, and there was constant laughter and laughter.

Occasionally, after an adult scolds him a few words, the naughty child will help out again, but his heart remains with his little friend.

Gao Mingcheng bent down to cut the rice ears. Suddenly, he felt something at his feet, so he quickly dug his hand under the mud. When he came out again, he was holding a plump eel.Monopterus eel is a great supplement and is very good for pregnant women.

Gao Mingcheng came empty-handed and didn't bring a bucket, so he had to take off his shirt, tie the cuffs, and put the eel into his sleeves.

Since he had already caught one, he might as well catch a few more, and after spitting out the sediment, he could fry a plate of them.

Gao Yuan saw that he was also going to catch eels, and he couldn't help scolding him: "You are so old, but you are still like a child!"

Gao Mingcheng just smiled, but he was still catching eels. Before the proliferation of pesticides, there were countless eels, loaches and snails in the fields. As long as you were willing to catch them, you could always catch enough for two plates.

Gao Mingcheng didn't stop until he couldn't hold his clothes anymore.

At this time, his clothes were all covered in mud, and he didn't care. He just threw them on the ground and took them away when he left.

He helped with the work again until noon, then he said, "I'm going back first."

After saying that, he carried the clothes full of eels and left.

"Second brother, come back in the afternoon!" Luo Xiaohua shouted.

But Gao Mingcheng had already walked more than ten meters, and his voice came slowly: "No, I have to go to the mountains to work in the afternoon!"

Luo Xiaohua suddenly became unhappy. What is there to do in the mountains?

But the person has already disappeared, and she can't do anything even if she is dissatisfied.

When Gao Mingcheng, covered in mud, returned home, green smoke was rising from the chimney above the kitchen, indicating that many people were already cooking.

He found a basin and poured out all the eels and loaches from his clothes. He first washed the mud off their surfaces with water, and then poured a basin of fresh water into them to keep them.

It needs to be raised for at least two days, so that the mud in their stomachs can be vomited out, and then there will be no muddy smell when eating.

Although there was plenty of water in the well, he did not take a bath at home. Instead, he took his muddy clothes to the pond in Xiaofushan.

Simply wash the clothes and dry them directly on an orange tree.

This orange tree was planted last spring. Now there are more than a dozen small green oranges hanging on it. This is a local variety of tangerine. It is not very sweet, but it is relatively large. Even if it is still a small tree, the The fruit is as big as a baby's fist.

After Gao Mingcheng washed the mud off his body, he walked around at the foot of the mountain. The corn interplanted in the Huangjing field had already grown ears of corn, but they were not very big yet, and the top corn silk was still green and yellow. When the corn was When the whiskers turn dark brown, it means the corn is mature and ready for picking.

He followed the hillside and came to the Dongkui Bayberry tree that he cared about most.

When I came back, the bayberries hanging on the trees were still green, but now many of them are red, exuding a unique sweet smell of bayberries.

He picked one off and tasted it. As soon as he took it into his mouth, the sweet and sour taste exploded in his mouth, and saliva secreted crazily.

This kind of acidity... it feels like it's not completely mature yet, and I have to wait a little longer.

Gao Mingcheng, whose facial features were slightly deformed by the acid, thought so.
