Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 459
Cauliflower snakes lay eggs in June and July every year. When the snakes lay eggs, they need to eat more food.

In the countryside, the cauliflower snake is a very common snake and often appears in villages and fields, so it is also called a domestic snake.

With cauliflower snakes around, there will be fewer rats and they won't eat the food.

But everything has pros and cons. Cauliflower snakes will eat mice, but they will also eat eggs and kill chickens, causing property losses to villagers.

The night before yesterday, Grandma Gao went to the bathroom. When she came out, she saw a cauliflower snake swimming into the chicken coop.

The layout of their house is that the toilet is connected with the chicken coop and pig pen. When Grandma Gao saw the snake entering the chicken coop, she immediately picked up a piece of firewood, walked towards the chicken coop, and kept hitting the ground with the firewood. , making noise to scare the cauliflower snake away.

But the cauliflower snake was so big that it was not scared away. Instead, it wanted to attack Grandma Gao. Grandma Gao was frightened and fell down before she was bitten by the snake.

But luckily, the cauliflower snake didn't attack and walked away.

Otherwise, even if the cauliflower snake is non-venomous, its bite will still be painful.

Gao Mingcheng put Grandma Gao on the bed in her room, and learned the details of the wrestling from Grandma Gao. Grandma Gao felt a little sad that the two grandsons had quarreled over this.

"I don't blame anyone, I just blame myself for accidentally falling." Grandma Gao said sadly.

What can Gao Mingcheng say?He is not good at talking about such trivial matters with others. He has always been used to defeating others.

So Gao Mingcheng could only say to Grandma Gao: "From now on, just eat and clothe yourself well and don't worry about it! My parents, my eldest brother and sister-in-law also have money. So don't be afraid of spending money. If they don't buy it for you, When I come back, tell me and I will buy it for you."

Grandma Gao had seen with her own eyes the large amount of money Gao Mingcheng took out, so she immediately believed what he said and agreed obediently.

She has been injured for a hundred days, and now she can't go anywhere but lie in bed to recuperate. She can't worry even if she wants to.

Gao Mingcheng gave a few more instructions and prepared to leave.

In the yard outside, three women were having a drama, and he didn't want to cause trouble.

Tomorrow is the market day in the county. He plans to take some bayberries to sell in the county, so instead of going back to the county today, he will stay in the village and go to the county early tomorrow morning.

But after walking out of the yard, he thought about it and walked towards the path behind the house, intending to visit his grandma.

Compared with Grandma Gao, Gao Mingcheng received more care from Grandma X.

When he passed by, the young lady happened to be drying vegetables at home, but Gao Zhuang was not there, saying she had gone to work in the fields.

He Xiuman went to the county, and Gao Zhuang basically did all the work in the fields.

Gao Zhuang is a filial man and no longer lets the young lady do heavy work.

The two families lived relatively close, so Grandma X also heard the quarrel in the front yard. When she saw Gao Mingcheng coming, she immediately called Gao Mingcheng to come over and talk.

First, she asked about Grandma Gao's situation, and then Grandma Xi said, "Ming Li's wife is also a pitiful person."

Gao Mingcheng remained silent. No matter how pitiful other people's wives were, it was inconvenient for him to speak.

But thinking about his previous life, he had been living outside for several years, leaving behind a lot of beauty and living in the village with his children. At that time, because most of the money was used by him for business, he did not buy a house and could only live with his elder brother and sister-in-law. Over there, there are three rooms over there, with a kitchen and a toilet.

However, he and Duomei were only allocated a room to live in. After a quarrel, they were barely allocated half of the main room. However, it is said that the eldest brother and sister-in-law filled their half room with firewood, making it difficult for Duomei to get in and out. question.

Moreover, the kitchen does not allow many beauties to use it. Many beauties have to find materials to build a simple kitchen. If the kitchen is not set up, if it rains, they will not be able to cook and they will be hungry.

Things like this were often brought up when many Americans quarreled with him.

At that time, he even felt that the beauty was exaggerated, because in his opinion, the elder brother and sister-in-law were not such bad people.

But now, he separated early in his life and lived alone. Duomei and his sister-in-law Huang Su'e didn't get along very much, so they never had any quarrels. However, Zhang Jinling and Huang Su'e got along a lot, and then they started to quarrel.

Gao Mingcheng thought for a while, then looked at Grandma Xi and asked, "Grandma Xi, what do you think of my sister-in-law?"

Grandma Xi thought for a while and said: "She can't be said to be too bad, but she is very selfish. She wants all the benefits and refuses to suffer any losses. Your mother also likes her and is willing to let her eat what she takes. If she is the only one Daughter-in-law, that's okay. If there are too many daughters-in-law here, there will definitely be trouble." "Your eldest brother also wants every advantage, so they get along well as a couple and have a good relationship."

It is said that the beholder knows the best, so Grandma Xin’s comments were very pertinent and hit the nail on the head.

For Gao Mingpeng and his wife, all the income from the fields they were allocated belongs to themselves. Gao Mingpeng takes orders and does work outside, and the money he earns also belongs to himself.

Then the family ate at their parents' house without working or paying.

Really all the benefits are taken away.

For them, Zhang Jinling's existence hinders their interests.

But for Zhang Jinling, the days after marriage were not happy at all, but all frustration.

In this case, how can we not cause trouble?
After finishing gossiping about other people's families, Grandma Xi asked about her grandson-in-law and great-granddaughter.

Gao Mingcheng said: "Xiu Man has learned well, and Xiao Yuanyuan and Xiao Xuxu are also good at playing. They often take Xiao Xuxu to play with them. I will go back to the county tomorrow, why don't I take you to the county to see them?"

When Grandma Xi learned that everything was fine with He Xiuman and Xiao Yuanyuan, the smile on her face never disappeared. But when she heard Gao Mingcheng calling them to visit the county, she shook her head and refused.

"No, no, there are a lot of things at home! But when Zhuangzhuang comes back later, I'll ask him if he's going. If he goes, you take him with you."

"Okay!" Gao Mingcheng agreed, and said he would come over again in the evening, and now he would go to Niuweiling for a walk.

Grandma Xi said, "You come over here to eat tonight, and I'll cook more rice."

"also."

After agreeing on this, Gao Mingcheng left.

He drove the tractor back to his home in Niuweiling.

As a result, I soon learned one thing from Chen Dasong, that is, in the past few days, a snake swam into the chicken coop, swallowed several eggs, and killed three chickens.

Chen Dasong said: "In order to prevent another snake from killing the chicken, I have been living in the shed these days."

Gao Mingcheng said: "Where you live, you can't completely control the snakes, right?"

Chen Dasong immediately gave a reason: "There have been strangers recently. Some people were chased three miles away by black tigers and elves before they even got close to Xiaofu Mountain. But now that the chickens are big and can almost lay eggs, some people want to come over." It is also possible to sneak up on the chicken and egg.”

After listening to this, Gao Mingcheng's face didn't look good.

His little Fushan can be said to be a small hill surrounded by mountains. The terrain is remote and there is no other way except the road from the village.

Oh, and you can also take the water route.

Their village and Fengfeng Village share a large reservoir. Xiaofushan is not too far away from the large reservoir. If someone swims from the big reservoir, they can avoid the sight of the villagers and touch Xiaofushan.

But the two good dogs raised by Gao Mingcheng are not vegetarians. Whether they are wild beasts in the mountains or strangers, they will show their sharp fangs.

Thinking that there will be a lot of egg income in the second half of the year, Gao Mingcheng said: "Let's do this, I will build another room next to the chicken coop, and you will live there and watch the night, so that you will not be cold in autumn and winter. I I’m not letting you do this for nothing, you can get a salary increase of ten yuan a month from now on!”

When Chen Dasong heard about the salary increase, he immediately agreed despite any dissatisfaction.

Gao Mingcheng is a person who does what he says. He decided to buy a cart of red bricks while he still had some time.

Chen Dasong also went home excitedly and called his two sons to dig the foundation.

When building a bungalow, you don't need to dig too deep a foundation, and the technical content is not high. You don't need to hire a bricklayer, you can just do it yourself.
