Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 470 A day in the life of a stay-at-home dad

Gao Mingcheng returned to the village this time and stayed for a total of three days before returning to the county.

The two pages of gold foil were not taken to the county by him because of the special nature of meditation practice, which was inconvenient in crowded places.

To be precise, Gao Mingcheng rarely meditates since he married Duo Mei.

When he was in the village, he was used to practicing boxing, but when he was in the county or on the road, he couldn't keep practicing.

Practicing martial arts requires perseverance, otherwise your skills will become rusty.

For the past three days, he meditated at night and got up early in the morning to practice boxing, spear, and dagger. Because he had the foundation, he quickly found the previous feel, and he found that as long as he focused on practicing, he would be able to practice boxing and spear. In the process, his control of movements became more refined.

On the afternoon of the third day, he decided to return to the county.

He kept the two gold foil pages sandwiched in the book "Shaolin Temple Martial Arts Secrets" and hid them in the closet.

The wardrobe is locked and the door is locked.

Gao Mingcheng loaded more than 30 bottles of honey into the car and a large basket of eggs.

In order to prevent the eggs from breaking during transportation, a lot of weeds are placed on the bottom and around the bamboo basket, and weeds are also placed between each layer of eggs, which can effectively prevent the eggs from colliding.

However, Gao Mingcheng thinks that he should buy some egg trays for use next time. With the egg trays, the eggs will not be easily broken when transporting them.

Immediately afterwards, another basket of seasonal vegetables and a basket of watermelons and pears were moved onto the car.

In this way, the entire tractor body is already filled to the brim.

Before leaving, Gao Mingcheng touched the sick cow tied under the shade of a tree. He didn't know if the method of veterinarian Zhang worked. After three days, the sick cow was really willing to eat.

Gao Mingcheng untied the straw rope tied to the sick cow's ear, only to find that the spider in the ear was long gone, and he didn't know when he escaped.

Until now, Gao Mingcheng had doubts about the treatment method of putting spiders in the ears.

After Gao Mingcheng left, the sick cow was taken care of by Zhang Chengyuan.

Zhang Chengyuan was the one who took care of the cattle and sheep raised at home before. He also had rich experience in raising cattle and sheep.

"Brother, take care of this cow as much as you can. If it dies of illness, you must come to the county and let me know. Do you understand?" Gao Mingcheng looked at Zhang Chengyuan and warned him seriously.

Cows that died of illness could not be eaten and had to be buried. However, Gao Mingcheng did not have to eat meat, but he had to disembowel the sick cow to see if there was bezoar in the body.

Zhang Chengyuan also nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I will definitely inform you in advance."

Zhang Chengyuan worked hard and Gao Mingcheng felt relieved after he agreed.

Things in the village came to an end for the time being. Gao Mingcheng drove his tractor through villages such as Gaojiacun, Xing'anling and Junling, and then got on the national highway leading to the county seat.

When he returned home, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. When Duo Mei saw him coming back, a smile of surprise appeared on her face. Even Xiao Xuxu in her arms stretched out her hand towards Gao Mingcheng, her face full of joy. color.

"dad……"

Although Xiao Xuxu's voice was still a little unclear, he could already tell that it was the word "dad".

Gao Mingcheng's eyes instantly turned red when he heard the words "Dad".

"Hey, my little baby!" Gao Mingcheng hugged Xiao Xuxu and lifted him high, making Xiao Xuxu laugh non-stop.

Gao Mingcheng teased Xiao Xuxu and coaxed him to continue calling him daddy, repeating it happily.

Duo Mei stood nearby, watching the interaction between father and son with smiles in his eyes. When he noticed that there was no beef on the truck bed, he immediately asked with his eyes: "Why are you back now? That sick cow..."

Gao Mingcheng said: "Something has delayed me. As for the sick cow, let's raise it for a while to see if it can be cured."

Many beauties knew that Gao Mingcheng had plans, so they didn't ask any more questions.

She mentioned another thing: "Yesterday Maozi came to see you and said he had received some antiques and wanted you to see them. He took them out for me to take a look at, but I couldn't grasp them and didn't dare to accept them. I asked him to come back in two days."

"Okay, but I have to go to Yangcheng the day after tomorrow. If he doesn't come to me tomorrow, I will go find him in the afternoon and bring the goods to Yangcheng to sell them." Gao Mingcheng said casually.

He no longer cares about the things on the truck bed, because he has someone to help him.

At this time, Gao Mingli had returned from get off work. As for Zhang Jinling, she was always hardworking and willing to work, but she became aggressive after being treated unfairly.

At this moment, the couple were helping to unload the goods.

Duo Mei glanced at the two of them, and winked at Gao Mingcheng with a narrow expression. She leaned close to Gao Mingcheng's ear and whispered softly: "It is said that the couple quarreled at the end of the bed, and Mingli and Jin Ling quarreled at the end of the bed. , when we first came back, we ignored each other, but now after two or three days, we feel that our relationship has improved a lot, and we occasionally talk and laugh."

Gao Mingcheng also glanced at the two people. There was a kind of unfamiliarity and resentment between them before, but now, the aura has become much calmer. When Zhang Jinling tried to move the box of watermelon, she found that the weight of the watermelon exceeded hers. Imagine, but the frame of watermelon had been moved to the edge of the truck bed by her, so she almost fell off the truck bed. At this moment, Gao Mingli gave her hand in time, and the two of them moved the watermelon down together.

This scene has a shadow of the couple getting along in their previous life.

Gao Mingcheng also whispered to Dumei: "Husband, husband, within one foot of each other is a husband! They sleep on the same bed every day now, which is definitely better than before when they were together less and separated more."

After hearing this, many beauties felt that it was very reasonable and couldn't help but look at Gao Mingcheng with admiring eyes.

Gao Mingcheng had been in suspense for a few days, but how could he withstand such teasing? A wave of heat surged through his body, and at the same time a thought was about to move.

Unfortunately, he was holding a baby in his arms and there were many relatives and friends around him.

Gao Mingcheng took a deep breath and thought, wait until night!
Duo Mei didn't know what bad idea Gao Mingcheng was planning, and Gao Shufang had already called her to the front store to reconcile the accounts.

The next step is to have dinner, watch TV, wash up and go to bed.

When Xiao Xuxu fell asleep while drinking milk, Duo Mei, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was attacked by a hungry wolf and executed on the spot by Gao Mingcheng.

That night, Gao Shufang, who was sleeping in the room, always felt that her sleep was a little uneasy. There seemed to be some kind of shaking sound of bed boards from the rooms on the left and right.

There was a faint creaking sound. Her fourth brother's room was okay, it only sounded for a while, but her second brother's room seemed to have been ringing all night?
Gao Shufang, who was half asleep, thought so.

...Early the next morning, Gao Mingcheng felt refreshed. After Xiao Xuxu woke up from sleeping in the small bed, he directly took Xiao Xuxu out of the room, leaving a quiet environment for Duo Mei, who had been tired all night, to continue sleeping peacefully.

"Let's go, daddy will make some milk powder for you!" Gao Mingcheng held Xiao Xuxu in his arms easily and walked downstairs very quickly, avoiding the sound of Xiao Xuxu's crying waking up Duo Mei.

Gao Mingcheng wanted Duo Mei to wean Xiao Xuxu. After all, it was not that she couldn't afford milk powder, but Duo Mei refused. She stubbornly believed that breast milk was better than milk powder and insisted on feeding her until she was one year old. However, because it was difficult to wean in winter, Weaning can easily make children sick, so weaning will not be possible until at least next spring.

Gao Mingcheng couldn't convince Duo Mei and had no choice but to let her go. However, when he saw Xiao Xuxu sucking milk, why did his teeth feel itchy?

Regardless of Xiao Xuxu's protest, Gao Mingcheng forcibly carried Xiao Xuxu downstairs, put him in the car, took out the milk bottle and milk powder, and quickly made a glass of milk.

As a result, Xiao Xuxu lost his temper and refused to eat. Gao Mingcheng tried his best to make him happy and willing to drink milk.

Seeing that Xiao Xuxu was willing to drink milk, Gao Mingcheng felt that he was sweating just now. Coaxing the child was really more tiring than killing a tiger!
"Second brother, why hasn't my second sister-in-law gotten up yet?" Gao Shufang asked curiously.

She has a very good relationship with Duomei, so she naturally knows what time Duomei usually gets up.

"I was not at home before, and your second sister-in-law must be tired from raising the children alone. Now that I'm back, I'm responsible for taking care of the children and letting your second sister-in-law sleep a little longer. Hey, don't go upstairs and wake your second sister-in-law." Gao Mingcheng warned.

Gao Shufang rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, "I'm fine, why should I wake her up? If you take little Xuxu with you, then I'll ask Aunt Hu to do things in the store?"

"Well, I'll take care of the kids, Aunt Hu, it's up to you! What's going on in the store?" Gao Mingcheng asked.

Gao Shufang said with a slight exaggeration: "Of course something is going on! With such a big store open on the street, how can it be okay? Today I have to take out all the clothes in the warehouse and hang them up. If there are serious creases, I have to iron them with an iron. good."

"By the way, second brother, wait a minute and take a look at the inventory ledger. Almost all the new models have been sold. It's time for you to restock."

"I understand. I will go to Yangcheng tomorrow and bring back a batch of goods."

"Aunt Feixia's goods are coming in too!"

"Okay, I'll go buy the goods when I get back from Yangcheng."

The two brothers and sisters were talking, and then Gao Mingcheng hugged Xiao Xuxu and prepared to have breakfast. Although Xiao Xuxu had just drank milk, the milk was not full and he had to eat some porridge.

In addition to porridge, there are also boiled eggs and pickles for porridge on the table.

"Shufang, don't you want to eat?" Gao Mingcheng saw that Gao Shufang didn't come to eat, but was busy there, so he asked.

Gao Shufang said: "My teeth have been hurting for the past two days and I can't eat anything too hot. I'll wait until the porridge has cooled down before I eat it!"

"Okay, if it's serious, go see a doctor yourself. Don't delay your illness, you know?" Gao Mingcheng warned.

"I know, I know, you used to say that if a minor illness is not treated, it will become a serious illness that cannot be cured! Then there will be no place to buy regret medicine!" Gao Shufang said with a smile. She now has money in her pocket, but she is still frugal at heart. , she really wouldn’t go to the doctor to get medicine for ordinary minor illnesses.

But this time the toothache had lasted for several days, and she was wondering if she should go see a doctor?

They say toothache is not a disease, but the pain can be fatal.

In the morning, after much thought, Gao Shufang finally decided to see a doctor. Her tooth hurt, and many delicious dishes didn't taste good. She felt like she was at a loss!
Gao Mingcheng felt relieved knowing that Gao Shufang had gone to see a doctor.

He made up his mind to be a full-time dad today, so he went shopping with little Xuxu in his arms, and then walked to his construction site along the way.

The kindergarten facing the street is already looking good. Now the walls are being tiled. After the red brick walls are pasted with light yellow tiles, the aesthetics have improved a lot. In addition to the beauty, the most important thing is that after the tiles are pasted, they can be moisture-proof and waterproof. loss.

Therefore, when the economy allows, most of the exterior walls of houses will be covered with ceramic tiles.

It's just that some people with average income will choose to lay ceramic tiles on the front and paint cement walls on the sides and back.

As the first high-end private kindergarten in the county, Gao Mingcheng naturally has to do a good job in the image project. The overall architectural style of the kindergarten is novel and the floors are high. It is considered a landmark building not only in the entire county, but at least in this street. .

There was construction inside, so Gao Mingcheng naturally did not take Xiao Xuxu in. He only observed outside for a while, and after confirming that there was no problem, he took Xiao Xuxu away.

He plans to take Xiao Xuxu to the People's Park, where there are green mountains and green water, as well as a small number of toys, such as slides and seesaws.

Of course, ten-month-old little Xuxu can’t play yet.

However, Xiao Xuxu can already stand and is learning skills such as squatting, standing up, and walking.

This may be due to genetic inheritance, or a strong ability to imitate. When parents have not deliberately taught their children these skills, they will instinctively practice them when the time comes.

Stand up, fall down, and stand up again and again until you stand firm.

Then walk again, one step, two steps, three steps, and then you can walk steadily.

Gao Mingcheng put Xiao Xuxu on the soft grass and watched him sit down on the grass first, curiously playing with the weeds and flowers around him. After a while, he seemed to be no longer interested in the weeds and his body was unstable. He stood up and tried to walk. As a result, he took one step and fell to the ground.

"Come on, Xiao Xuxu, keep working hard!" Gao Mingcheng sat on the grass next to him. He didn't help Xiao Xuxu at all, but encouraged him.

Fortunately, little Xuxu was not a squeamish person and had no intention of crying. He continued to stand up after falling and tried to walk.

So, he started to repeat. After wrestling again and again, Xiao Xuxu was finally able to take two or three steps.

But these two or three steps should be his current limit.

"Not bad, good job!" Seeing Xiao Xuxu who was extremely tired, Gao Mingcheng happily picked him up.

Xiao Xuxu seemed to know that he was being praised and grinned. This time, Gao Mingcheng found that he finally had four more teeth in his mouth.

It's just that those four teeth have just sprouted, and it will take a while before they are fully grown.

"Hey, you've got teeth? No wonder you've been drooling so much lately!" Gao Mingcheng said, wiping the saliva from the corner of Xiao Xuxu's mouth with the saliva towel around his neck.

Only with this touch did I realize that the saliva towel was almost wet!
Come on, go back and change to a new saliva towel!
Gao Mingcheng took off the wet saliva towel and walked toward the clothing store with Xiao Xuxu in his arms.

The sun at noon was a bit strong, and the person who was exposed to it felt a little uncomfortable. Xiao Xuxu lay on Gao Mingcheng's shoulder, burying his face there to avoid the sun.

He hadn't noticed it before when he was playing in the shade of the trees, but now that he was aware of it, Gao Mingcheng quickly quickened his pace, walking like a gust of wind.
