Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 435 Who hasn’t had their hair scratched by a child?
The holiday soon came. Gao Mingcheng borrowed a car from Xiao Jinfeng in advance, so he went there early in the morning and drove the car to Gao Guobing's house.

After picking up Gao Guobing and his wife, they drove to the door of the clothing store and stopped.

Duo Mei got into the car with her child in her arms, and Gao Shufang also came over happily.

When Gao Mingcheng said before that he would take Gao Guobing and his wife back to Gaojiacun for a walk today, Duo Mei and Gao Shufang, who had not been back for a long time, immediately expressed their desire to go back.

Seeing that many beauties wanted to go back, Gao Shufang hesitated for a few seconds and decided not to go back.

But Gao Mingcheng said: "Let's all go back! Just leave the store to Luo Li and Aunt Hu!"

Luo Li is also a senior employee in the store. Although Hu Yinchen mainly took care of the children and cooked, she has been in the store for half a year after all. She is also familiar with selling clothes and the prices of most clothes. .

Therefore, Gao Mingcheng left the store to the two of them to look after.

Luo Li shouldered the responsibility of the temporary store manager and said dedicatedly: "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the store."

So the whole family returned to Gaojiacun.

At the end of May, the weather is sunny but not too hot, making it a good time to go back to the village and walk around.

Originally, this trip back to the village must have been relaxing and enjoyable.

But because of Gao Zongye's death, a haze has enveloped everyone's hearts.

When the car arrived at Xing'anling, Gao Guobing asked Gao Mingcheng to stop.

The offices of the village committee and the brigade are here.

The village primary school and small shop as well as Gao Shouwang's clothing workshop are also here, so it is a relatively lively place, and there are even people playing cards under the shade of the trees.

Gao Guobing got out of the car and said to Gao Mingcheng: "I'm going to talk to the people in the village committee. You guys go back to the village first. I'll walk over by myself later."

Gao Mingcheng probably guessed what Gao Guobing planned to say to the village committee members, so he agreed quickly and took the others back to the village first.

As soon as Gao Guobing got out of the car, he was recognized and greeted, and they followed Gao Guobing into the office to talk.

Not long after, the jeep stopped at the pond in the old village. Zhao Dongmei and Gao Shufang got off the car here. Zhao Dongmei wanted to visit her old house and talk to the neighbors.

Gao Mingcheng did not get out of the car to accompany her, but said: "Auntie, Duomei and I will go back and clean up first. You and your uncle must come to my house for dinner at noon."

As Gao Guobing and Zhao Dongmei, after returning to the village, someone must have called them to eat.

But Gao Mingcheng had bought meat dishes in advance. He would go back and clean the house later, and then prepare the meals.

Zhao Dongmei smiled and said, "Then I must go to your house for dinner."

After agreeing, Gao Mingcheng drove the jeep to Niuweiling.

The car stopped under the shade of a tree on the side of the road. Gao Mingcheng got out of the car first, and then Duo Mei also got off with Xiao Xuxu in his arms.

"Are you tired of hugging? I'll hold Xiao Xuxu." Gao Mingcheng was afraid that many beauties would get sore hands, so he took Xiao Xuxu over.

Little Xuxu is seven months old and has grown into a big fat boy.

In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng's impression of his eldest son was that he was always thin, especially in adolescence, when he was as thin as a bamboo pole.

But now, little Xuxu eats well and sleeps well. She is covered in baby fat and looks particularly cute.

Xiao Xuxu has a relatively quiet personality and is not very noisy, but when he came to the countryside, he was still very excited. He looked around with his eyes and made ahhhh sounds from his mouth.

It's a pity that Gao Mingcheng doesn't understand baby talk and can't communicate with it.

But it doesn't matter, this does not prevent the father and son from talking to each other.

Gao Mingcheng told Xiao Xuxu which lands he had opened up, what vegetables were grown now, which vegetables were edible, and which vegetables had to wait.

Gao Mingcheng was so excited, and Xiao Xuxu was so excited.

People who didn't know it would really think that their father and son could communicate without any barriers.

Duo Mei looked at their father and son like this and couldn't help but smile.

The child was well managed, so she was not idle. Women are more attentive, so she went into the house to clean.

Since there are no chickens in the yard, it is a lot cleaner. There are only some dead branches and leaves blown by the wind. Just sweep them away.

Opening the door, it was okay inside. After all, Gao Mingcheng stayed here for two days a few days ago, so Duomei just wiped the big table clean and then went to the kitchen.

In the drawer of the cupboard, there are more than a dozen eggs, which must have been born in the past few days, because the previous eggs were all taken to the county by Gao Mingcheng to eat.

These eggs were picked up by Chen Duofu when he was managing the chicken coop and placed in the cupboard drawer.The chickens raised this year are naturally not yet ready to lay eggs. These eggs were laid by the chickens raised at home before. In spring and autumn, chickens are most willing to lay eggs. When the production is high, they can lay one egg a day.

It takes three to seven months for a chicken to hatch and lay eggs. If it is a feeding hen, it can lay eggs in three months.

However, it usually takes six or seven months for native chickens raised by farmers to lay eggs. In other words, the batch of chickens raised by Gao Mingcheng will lay eggs this autumn.By then, there will definitely be too many eggs in the house to eat.

After Duomei cleaned up the kitchen, she went out with the basket.

When I came back this time, I only bought some meat and not other vegetables, because there were plenty of them in my vegetable patch.

When she came to the vegetable field, Gao Mingcheng was also holding his child here, with two dogs following closely behind him.

In the past, when Gao Mingcheng was alone, he had to manage all the vegetable fields. He had to do everything himself, including what to plant, when to plant and transplant. But this year, after hiring two more employees, Boss Gao was freed. There is no need to worry about management at all, just let Zhang Chengyuan take care of it and plant all the land that needs to be planted.

Now he is on his own territory, inspecting the conditions of various crops.

"Duomei, there are rapeseed and water spinach grown over there, and they are all edible. There are also lettuce, celery, coriander and spinach. You can take care of them!" Gao Mingcheng was afraid that Duomei was not familiar with the conditions in the fields, so he hurriedly Pointed out the location of various dishes.

Because of the shape of the mountain, the wasteland he opened was not connected in one large area, but some were down this hillside and some down that hillside.

But many beauties do not need Gao Mingcheng's guidance, because she is also very familiar with her own place.

And she knew something about her brother Zhang Chengyuan's planting habits and knew what kind of vegetables he would grow in what land.

"You take good care of the children, I will take care of the kitchen!" Duo Mei carried the bamboo basket and went to pick vegetables with confidence.

She first pulled some spinach. The spinach in the ground grew very well and was lush and green, which looked pleasing to the eye.

Then I pulled out two more lettuces. I have been eating lettuces one after another until now, and I am almost done. The rest can be taken to the county together, and after the land is cleared, other vegetables can be planted.

While pulling the vegetables, Duomei noticed that the leaves of the potatoes had turned yellow and the stems and branches had begun to wither. He immediately said: "Mingcheng, the potatoes can be dug. If you don't dig them, they will rot in the ground."

Gao Mingcheng also walked to the potato field. After taking a look, he knew it was time to dig potatoes.

When he came back last time, the leaves of the potatoes were still relatively green, but they probably started to turn yellow in the past two days.

"Then we'll dig it up in the afternoon and take it to the county to eat slowly." Gao Mingcheng said.

Potatoes can be grown three times a year, but they are usually used to planting them in spring and autumn because the local potatoes here are not very big and the yield is not high enough compared to sweet potatoes, so some people don't like to plant them.

Gao Mingcheng grew a little of everything because he wanted a variety of food.

If potatoes don't sprout, you can eat them for a long time.

But don't be afraid of sprouting. Cut off the buds and tubers, roll them in plant ash, and bury them in the soil, and another batch of potatoes will grow.

While the couple were talking, they saw Chen Dasong and his son and Zhang Chengyuan coming down from Xiaofu Mountain.

Some of them were carrying hoes, and some were carrying poles. It seemed that they were fertilizing fruit trees in the mountains.

At first, Gao Mingcheng asked Chen Dasong to manage the orchard, Zhang Chengyuan to manage the vegetable field, and Chen Duofu to manage the beehives, but in fact, the three people often worked together.

When Gao Mingcheng saw the three of them, he greeted them enthusiastically: "I have developed the photos I took last time and put them in the car. I will bring them to you later."

When they heard that the photos had been developed, everyone was very happy, and their eyes were filled with anticipation.

When Gao Mingcheng saw this, he walked to the jeep. The bag he brought back was still in the car.

Seeing that it was inconvenient for him to hold the child, Chen Duofu immediately said, "Let me hold the child."

Gao Mingcheng gave Xiao Xuxu to him. Xiao Xuxu was really easy to take care of. He didn't cry when he was held by another person. Instead, he acted very happy and reached out to grab Chen Duofu's hair.

Chen Duofu was not married yet and had no children. He had no experience in raising children. As soon as he could avoid it, his hair was pulled by Xiao Xuxu.

Even though the child may be small, his hands are quite strong. With this pull, Chen Duofu's facial features were deformed.

Gao Mingcheng immediately grabbed Xiao Xuxu's hand and asked him to let go of his hair, and then said to Chen Duofu: "You have to be careful when you hold him. He sometimes likes to grab people's hair. Last time he took the beautiful pearl The necklace was torn off and the pearls fell all over the floor. Now Domei doesn’t even dare to wear the necklace.”

"You're not allowed to arrest people, you know?" Gao Mingcheng taught Xiao Xuxu a serious lesson, but Xiao Xuxu was not afraid at all. He grinned and drooled, dripping on the saliva towel around his neck.

Babies love to drool and need to change several saliva towels a day.

Today's saliva towels, for the sake of saving fabrics, only have a small piece of cloth on the chest, and the rest is a rope.

But in this case, it is easy to become crooked, so Gao Mingcheng learned from the round saliva towels commonly used in later generations and installed buttons to fix it. In this way, it can absorb more saliva and is more beautiful.

This kind of round saliva towel was very popular in later generations, which shows its beauty and usability. Therefore, after Xiao Xuxu put on the new saliva towel, people kept asking about it, so Gao Mingcheng simply asked Gao Shufang and the others to do it in their free time. I made a batch of saliva towels and sold them.
