Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 558 Puppies and Human Puppies (please vote for me)

Having a wife and children at home is completely different.

When Gao Mingcheng came back from the mountains carrying a bag of kudzu root, he was greeted by a room full of lights and his lovely wife and children.

Seeing Gao Mingcheng's return, Duo Mei immediately stood up and said, "The rice cakes have been cut and the vegetables have been washed. I'm just waiting for you to come back and cook."

Cooking rice cakes is the same as cooking noodles. After cooking, it is best to eat it as soon as possible, otherwise it will swell and taste bad.

Therefore, many beauties only do the preliminary work and prepare to wait for Gao Mingcheng to come back before cooking.

Gao Mingcheng saw her walking quickly to the kitchen stove, so he asked: "It's so late, is your son hungry?"

Many Meishu quickly lit the match, ignited a bunch of dry pine needles in his hand, and quickly stuffed it into the stove. The dark stove suddenly became brighter. There were already several firewood inside, burning. The burning pine needles will ignite the firewood.

After lighting the fire, many beauties said: "Xiao Xuxu ate some chicken cakes and drank milk. He is not hungry yet."

Little Xuxu was indeed not hungry and was chasing two puppies in the yard.

Although he is bigger than a puppy, a human cub is not as nimble as a puppy. With Xiao Xuxu's ability to walk unsteadily, he is no match for the two puppies.

Rather than saying that it was Xiao Xuxu playing with the two puppies, it was better to say that the two puppies were playing with the human puppies. When Xiao Xuxu fell down and failed to follow him, the two pups would stop and wait for him.

Gao Mingcheng glanced at it with a smile, then went to fetch water to wash his face and hands.

The water just drawn from the well was not ice-cold at all. Instead, it felt warm. After washing his face and hands, he went to change into clean clothes before picking up little Xuxu from the ground. stand up.

He smiled and said: "Fortunately, the chickens have been driven to the chicken coop, otherwise the yard is full of chicken manure. If you fall a few times, your clothes will look bad!"

Chickens are chickens. If chickens are raised without confinement, there will be chicken droppings everywhere in the yard and hall.

Dogs are much better. Dogs don’t poop or pee randomly.

"Dad, touch the dog!" Xiao Xuxu was determined to point at the puppy, indicating that he wanted to touch the dog.

When human pups have the support of their elders, dog pups are in bad luck.

Gao Mingcheng ordered two little black dumplings to come over, and also asked Black Tiger, Elf and Dahuang to come over and let little Xuxu touch them one by one.

Xiao Xuxu, who finally touched the dog, immediately giggled and was extremely happy.

When Gao Mingcheng saw that the dogs were doing well, he immediately said happily: "I'll give you extra food tomorrow!"

When they heard the word "extra meal", the tails of several dogs waggled even more happily!

While they were laughing and laughing, many beautiful voices sounded in the kitchen: "Mingcheng, it's time to eat!"

So Gao Mingcheng carried Xiao Xuxu to wash his hands before walking into the kitchen.

On the table, there are two bowls, large and small, filled with cooked rice cakes. This bowl of rice cake is rich, filled with sliced ​​wind-blown pork, poached eggs, and cabbage moss.

There is a lot of wind-blown meat at home. Gao Mingcheng made it after hunting wild boars. After he marinated it, he asked Chen Duofu to help him dry it. After it was dried, in order to prevent it from being eaten by mice, he put it in Store in bag.

Gao Mingcheng didn't plan to take these wind-blown meats to the county, so he kept them at home and ate them slowly. He could also take them to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year.

The delicious wind-blown pork, soft and glutinous rice cake slices, fragrant poached eggs, and green white vegetables all together make up a delicious meal.

Not only Gao Mingcheng and many delicacies relish it, but even Xiao Xuxu can eat it. In order to take care of Xiao Xuxu's taste, many delicacies do not add chili pepper when cooking rice cakes. Instead, they add oil after scooping out the rice cakes. Fried some dried chilies and scooped the chili oil into her and Gao Mingcheng's bowls for seasoning.

After dinner, there were no more entertainment activities. After tidying up the things at home, everyone got ready to go to bed.

Early the next morning, Gao Mingcheng got up.

When they were in the county, the couple slept on the same bed, and Xiao Xuxu slept on the small bed next to him. Now there is no small bed in this room, and the three of them are crowded into one bed, and sleeping is not so comfortable.

Gao Mingcheng got up quietly without disturbing Duo Mei and Xiao Xuxu.

He went to wash up first, then cooked porridge in the rice cooker, and then led the two dogs into the mountains.

The sky was slightly brighter, and the wind blowing against my face was bitingly cold, as if there was a big ice cave between heaven and earth.

It's frosty.

In such weather, one can breathe into mist, and when one is in the mountains and forests, there is also a feeling of "I am only in this mountain, and I don't know where the clouds are".

Human vision will be blocked, but the dog's sense of smell will not be blocked.

As soon as Black Tiger and Elf entered the mountain, they excitedly followed the hare.

Rabbits are warm-blooded animals and do not need to hibernate. Moreover, they are afraid of heat but not cold. They also have the same activities in winter.

In order to avoid natural enemies, timid hares rarely move during the day and mostly move around in the evening and early morning to look for food.

Therefore, Gao Mingcheng decided to go out to catch a few hares now, wait until daybreak, go back and eat porridge, and then go into the mountains to dig kudzu.

I dug a bag yesterday, and I will dig another day today, which is enough.

After all, he wasn't selling it for money, he was just keeping it for himself to eat.

There are a lot of hares in the mountains. With the help of two dogs, Gao Mingcheng quickly discovered the traces of hares. Rabbits are good at moving in dim light and run very fast. If ordinary people want to get hares, the best The solution is to set a trap, because if you want to chase a hare, it is difficult to catch up. Even if you hold a gun, you need to be very accurate to hit it.

However, Gao Mingcheng managed to escape, and the knife in his hand was thrown accurately, and every hare fell down with a sound.

This skill is comparable to Xiao Li's flying knife skills. If someone sees it, they will definitely shout the word "impossible"!

This is also the reason why Gao Mingcheng is unwilling to hunt with others.

He prefers to be alone, feeling free and unrestrained, letting the world and the earth take his own course.

Of course, it would be great if you have a loyal dog by your side.

"Woof woof." The elf ran towards the fallen rabbit excitedly, and then ran back to Gao Mingcheng with the rabbit in his mouth.

At this time, seven hares were piled at Gao Mingcheng's feet.

It is still early December, and there is still a lot of food in the mountains, so the hares are still quite fat. In a month or two, the rabbits in the mountains will lose some weight.

Therefore, Gao Mingcheng decided to hunt more hares this time. The uneaten hares could be made into wind-blown meat.

"Black Tiger, Elf, keep looking for the hare!" Gao Mingcheng ordered, and the two dogs continued to look for it in a humane way.

After spending half an hour, we finally found five more hares.

Gao Mingcheng looked at the morning's harvest and felt quite satisfied. At this time, his stomach was growling with hunger, so he picked up the hares piled on the ground and led the two dogs to run down the mountain.

One person and two dogs were running quickly. It was bright at this time, and the white mist floating in the air gradually dissipated.

A ray of sunshine shines down, indicating that today is another good weather.

Before they even came down the mountain, Dahuang and two little black dumplings came over happily, their tails wagging as if they could reach the sky. After a few dogs got together, the scene felt very lively.

Gao Mingcheng smiled as he watched a few dogs quarreling. He put a dozen hares in his hand in the yard, then went into the kitchen and made a large bowl of porridge to eat.

In the morning, I had a simple meal, white porridge with pickled vegetables.

Not only people eat white porridge, but even dogs eat white porridge. Many times, dogs raised in rural areas eat leftovers. It can be said that dogs eat whatever people eat.

Unlike later generations of city dwellers who raised dogs, they were fed expensive dog food.

After eating a bowl of porridge to fill his stomach, Gao Mingcheng ate two more French pancakes, then took out a knife and prepared to peel them.

In order to survive the winter, the hares have already changed their fur, so the fur at this time is the best.

Gao Mingcheng selected the hares with good fur and prepared to skin them. As for the two rabbits with bad and damaged fur, he planned to scald them with boiling water and shave off the fur.

Rabbit meat with skin becomes very fragrant when stir-fried.

While I was working, I suddenly saw Gao Zhuang coming over with a bag of sweet potato flour.

"Brother Mingcheng, you got so many hares so early in the morning?" Gao Zhuang couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the hares all over the place. He counted them one by one and looked at Gao Mingcheng. Full of admiration.

Gao Mingcheng saw him coming, smiled and handed him a hare, saying: "You came just in time, take one back to eat."

Gao Zhuang chuckled and accepted it happily. He didn't need to be polite when he was with Brother Mingcheng.

Gao Zhuang put down the sweet potato flour in his hand and said, "Grandma asked me to bring this to you. This year, my family made more than ten kilograms of sweet potato flour and gave three kilograms to you. Last time Xiuman's mother came here, It was said that Xiuman’s father felt a little uncomfortable, so he asked her to take away two kilograms and catch another chicken.”

Gao Mingcheng heard the gossip and asked, "Didn't you give your mother-in-law any money? Then have you and Xiu Man gone to see her?"

Gao Zhuang said: "I didn't give you any money, so I said I wanted to go take a look. My mother-in-law said the fields were busy and she was afraid of delaying our farm work, so we decided not to do it."

Gao Zhuang felt that he had to go and see him in person. After asking for help, it would be better to give him some money.

But his mother-in-law didn't let him visit, and He Xiuman secretly winked at him and refused to let him pay, so he didn't pay.

Gao Mingcheng said clearly.

In this case, it seems that He Xiuman's father is not sick, at most he feels unwell.

So I was afraid that they would come to see the clues.

While the two were talking, Duomei and Xiaoxuxu finally woke up.

"Uncle." Xiao Xuxu took the initiative to call him uncle when he saw Gao Zhuang.

Gao Zhuang was so excited after hearing this that he couldn't help but pick up little Xuxu and lift him up.

Gao Mingcheng likes his daughter, and Gao Zhuang also likes Gao Mingcheng’s son!

So having both children is a wonderful wish.

Seeing Gao Zhuang playing with his son, many beauties went to wash themselves. After washing their faces, they came over with a hot towel to wash little Xuxu's face.

Like all children, little Xuxu was a little averse to washing his face. He kept turning his head to hide, but he still couldn't escape.

After washing her face, Duomei took out the cream.

"Xuxu, it's time to put on the fragrance!" Duo Mei picked up a little cream with her index finger and dabbed it at Xiao Xuxu's face. Xiao Xuxu still avoided it, but of course he didn't avoid it.

Alabaster is very fragrant, so when wiping children's faces, they always say that it will be fragrant. Older children, knowing the benefits of applying fragrant scent, will no longer hide, but will cooperate obediently.

Only the little kids didn't understand anything. Even if the cold wind wrinkled and tore their skin, they were still ignorant and uncooperative.

At this time, the ruthless iron slap will teach them how to behave.

After applying the fragrance to Xiao Xuxu, Duo Mei left Gao Zhuang to have breakfast here.

Gao Zhuang naturally did not stay, but said: "I came here after eating porridge. Grandma asked me to send you some sweet potato powder, and then asked me and Brother Mingcheng to go into the mountains to dig kudzu."

When Gao Mingcheng heard that Gao Zhuang planned to go into the mountains with him to dig kudzu, he immediately refused.

"No, I can just go into the mountains and dig alone."

It's not that Gao Mingcheng doesn't let him play, but... it's not fun!

You know, the kudzu roots at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain have been dug up by the villagers. Now if you want to dig long-lasting kudzu roots, you have to go deep into the mountains.

Gao Mingcheng enters the mountain very quickly, but if he brings Gao Zhuang with him, the speed will be much slower. Don't have one more person to help when the time comes, and the efficiency of digging kudzu will be even lower.

However, Gao Zhuang came to help, and that was his sincerity, so Gao Mingcheng said: "Let's do this. You can take Xiao Xuxu to your house later and play with Xiao Yuanyuan. When we are done, we will pick him up in the afternoon." , how about it? If you can’t bring people, then send them to us again.”

He had to go into the mountains to dig kudzu roots, while Duo Mei had to stay at home and wash the kudzu roots, then use tools to scrape them into a paste, and finally wash them into powder.

These jobs are not easy either. If you work and take care of your children at the same time, it will be even more tiring and heart-breaking!

Duo Mei also knew that she had to work, so she agreed with Gao Mingcheng's suggestion, and then lowered her head and asked Xiao Xuxu if she would like to play with Sister Yuanyuan.

Of course the silly little Xuxu was willing, so the matter was settled.

After Duo Mei fed Xiao Xuxu a bowl of gruel, he asked Gao Zhuang to carry Xiao Xuxu to the old village.

"Brother Mingcheng, I'm leaving. I will definitely take Xiao Xuxu with me." Gao Zhuang said goodbye to Gao Mingcheng with a smile.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you." Gao Mingcheng waved to him and watched them leave.

While he was talking, Gao Mingcheng had already peeled off the fur of the hares, and he asked Duo Mei to boil water and scald the remaining two rabbits.

"I went into the mountain to dig kudzu roots. I dug them back yesterday. Wash them when you have time. If you don't have the strength to wipe the kudzu roots, just wait until I come back to do it." Gao Mingcheng held a hoe in one hand and a bag in the other, ready to go into the mountain. .

"Don't worry, I know how to do it!" Duo Mei said confidently.

Her parents died young and she had no brothers to support her. She was ostracized in the village. In the past, when digging kudzu, her sisters did not have a share, so she never made kudzu.

But she saw Aunt Liu doing it, and when she found out that Gao Mingcheng planned to make arrowroot this year, she asked someone about how to make it. After corresponding, she felt that she was fine.

After Gao Mingcheng left, many beauties came to the pond carrying the kudzu roots dug by Gao Mingcheng yesterday and prepared to wash them here.

The water in the pond is cold, but there is plenty of water here, making it easy to wash without having to carry buckets of water.

She used a brush to clean the mud on the surface of the kudzu root, and the color of the kudzu root became yellow-white.

At this time, the kudzu root can be seen full of starch.

　In the new year, I wish everyone all your wishes come true!

　　Continue to ask for double monthly tickets~
