Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Gao Mingcheng stayed up most of the night and went to catch turtles in order to arrange a farewell meal for his wife and children. However, after he brought the turtles and live chickens to the county town, he failed to eat them.

Xiao Xuxu was attracted by the turtle.

He had never seen a turtle before, but now that he saw a turtle, he felt very fresh. He kept looking around the turtle in the bucket, and even wanted to reach out and touch the turtle.

Gao Mingcheng blocked Xiao Xuxu's hand and said, "Don't touch it, it will bite!"

Just saying that, Xiao Xuxu would definitely not listen, so Gao Mingcheng picked up a small piece of minced meat with chopsticks and fed it to the turtle.

Before the chopsticks came close to the turtle's head, the turtle, which seemed motionless at first, suddenly stretched out its head quickly and bit into the minced meat!

Wild turtles are very aggressive and will not let go if they bite.

Not to mention the minced meat was bitten, even the chopsticks were bitten together.

Gao Mingcheng pointed to the chopsticks bitten by the turtle, looked at Xiao Xuxu, and asked: "Are you afraid? Do you still dare to reach out and touch it?"

This scene really frightened Xiao Xuxu. After that, he only dared to squat aside and watch, not daring to reach out and touch it.

Seeing this, Gao Mingcheng felt relieved. Children are like this. If you just tell him you can't do this or that, it will be dangerous, he won't listen at all, and he has no concept.

But if you let him see the dangerous consequences in front of him, he won't dare. After all, it is human instinct to protect yourself.

Gao Mingcheng said to Duo Mei: "We won't cook this turtle for the time being. Let Xiao Xuxu play with it for a few days. When he is satisfied with it, we can cook it and eat it. Let's keep the chicken as well. Tie its feet with a rope and keep it in the house." in the corner."

Duo Mei nodded. Although she wanted to eat turtle a little bit, but if the child wanted to keep it for fun, it would be better to follow the child's wishes first. As for chickens, they are easy to raise. Just feed them some vegetable leaves and broken rice.

Today, Gao Yuanyuan is also staying here, so he has to cook more dinner. Gao Shufang and Zhang Jinling are responsible for chopping and cooking, while Gao Mingli is responsible for lighting the fire.

Gao Mingcheng and Duo Mei were sorting clothes and looking at account books in the front store. As for Xiao Xuxu, he had not lost interest in the turtle and kept staring at it with a serious expression.

While Gao Mingli was lighting the fire, he also came over to watch. He even reached out to catch the turtle from behind, took it out of the bucket, and placed it on the ground to let it crawl away.

Xiao Xuxu was startled and said in panic: "Bite! I know how to bite!"

Gao Mingli laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, just don't get close to it!"

Gao Mingli took a stick and kept teasing the turtle. If the turtle crawled to other places, he would use the stick to move the turtle in another direction.

Xiao Xuxu's eyes lit up and he thought it was fun. He immediately reached out for the wooden stick in Gao Mingli's hand: "Uncle, give me the stick."

Gao Mingli handed him the stick and taught him how to tease the turtle. For a while, the uncle and nephew were playing around with the turtle.

Gao Mingcheng saw it in the store and was speechless. He said loudly: "Mingli, don't let him play like this. If he gets bitten, it's up to you what to do!"

Although Xiao Xuxu is called three years old, he is actually less than two years old. Even if he has to train his child's courage, it is not urgent at this moment.

Gao Mingli was scolded by his second brother. He smiled awkwardly and hurriedly caught the turtle back into the bucket.

Xiao Xuxu was teasing with a stick, but he couldn't play anymore. He was stunned for a moment, and then he started to cry.

The child's mood fluctuates greatly, and when he doesn't get what he wants, he starts crying.

Gao Mingli became even more panicked when he saw Xiao Xuxu crying.

When he teased the turtle just now, it was actually because he wanted to play, but he didn't expect that not only did he get scolded by his second brother, but he also made his nephew cry.

This time it was tragic, so he quickly picked up Xiao Xuxu and began to coax him.

But Xiao Xuxu, who has never lacked love in her life, is very delicate and cannot be coaxed at all. Her tears keep flowing like a broken pearl.

"Don't cry, don't cry. It's uncle's fault. Can uncle buy you candy?" Gao Mingli hugged Xiao Xuxu and prepared to go to the street to buy candy.

When he heard that he was going to buy candy, Xiao Xuxu stopped crying instantly and looked at Gao Mingli expectantly, waiting for Gao Mingli to take him to buy candy.

Seeing their uncle and nephew go, Gao Mingcheng just felt helpless.

Not long after, Gao Mingli brought Xiao Xuxu back. Xiao Xuxu's mouth was bulging. It turned out that he was holding a piece of candy and was eating it with gusto.

This time Xiao Xuxu was eating sweets, sitting on the small bench and looking at the turtles, and he behaved very well.

When the meal was almost ready, Gao Yuanjian and Lou Xinyu came back together. Gao Yuanjian had already seen the land that Lou Xinyu had bought and was quite satisfied with it.

The scenery there is beautiful, and most importantly, many government workers live there, and the homes of Gao Mingcheng and Gao Guobing are nearby.

After Gao Shufang and Lou Xinyu got married and lived there, Gao Yuanyuan felt more at ease.

"Dad, it's time to eat! Xinyu, take my dad to wash his hands and prepare for dinner." Gao Shufang put the last dish on the plate and said casually.

Lou Xinyu responded, took Gao Yuan to the faucet to wash his hands, then went to get the bowls and chopsticks, and first served Gao Yuan a bowl of rice.

Gao Yuan sat there, watching his future son-in-law serve him a meal, and he felt more and more satisfied. He looked at the dishes on the table, including fried pork with peppers, fried tofu, loofah egg soup, fried eggplants with peppers and other dishes. These dishes were filled with oil and salt. It's enough, and the taste is naturally very good.

Because there were so many people eating, Xiao Xuxu was arranged to eat in the yard. He sat on a small bench, with a higher bench in front of him as a table. The small bowl was filled with half a bowl of rice and some non-spicy food. Vegetables, holding a spoon there and eating by yourself.

It is impossible to expect the children to eat cleanly, but once food falls on the ground, the hen tied in the corner will come over and peck it away.

Xiao Xuxu looked amused and even took the initiative to scoop up a spoonful of rice and pour it on the ground to feed the chickens.

"Gao Xu!" A stern voice came. Xiao Xuxu glanced timidly at Duomei. Knowing that his mother was angry, he quickly lowered his head and pretended to eat hard.

As the saying goes, when I love you, I call you Xiaoxuxu, and when I scold you, I use my first and last name!

After dinner, everyone turned on the TV and prepared to watch TV programs, so they chatted while watching TV programs.

Gao Yuan brought some watermelons, cantaloupes and some vegetables, which he planned to divide into two portions, one for Gao Mingwan and one for Lou Xinyu.

As for Gao Mingcheng, Gao Yuanyuan never thought of giving it to him, because Gao Yuanyuan felt that Gao Mingcheng had grown it himself, so there was no need to give it to him.

But Gao Mingli refused to accept it. He felt that he had his own share of the fields and land at home, but the vegetables and rice grown were not given to him. Now he is not even given a watermelon. He lived with his second brother and ate and drank with his second brother. Although he paid for the food, Gao Mingli knew that he was taking advantage because the food at his second brother's house was very good.

As the youngest son in the family, Gao Mingli was relatively favored. He immediately said it was unfair and asked his father why he didn't give it to him.

Gao Yuanyuan was stunned. He had never thought about giving it to Gao Mingcheng, and Gao Mingli ate and drank with Gao Mingcheng, so of course he didn't think about Gao Mingli anymore, thinking that they both had it.

But now that Gao Mingli said it, he felt a little embarrassed.

It’s just that it’s hard to admit that I’m partial, and I’m speechless for a moment.

Lou Xinyu came forward in time to smooth things over and said: "Thank you uncle for sending me the watermelon and vegetables, but I live alone and haven't opened the fire. I always go to my second brother's place to eat and drink. I won't take away the watermelon and vegetables. Just put it here and eat it together!”

Gao Mingli pursed his lips, but he was still a little dissatisfied. During the last double robbery, he went home with his second brother, and even went to the fields to help for a long time!

He was also stupid. At that time, he only felt tired and just wanted to go back to the county to rest early, so he didn't go to the fields to get vegetables and watermelons!
We have already talked about watermelon, so everyone simply cut a watermelon to eat. Because there are many people at home, watermelon eats quickly.

While eating watermelon, Gao Mingcheng remembered something and said to Gao Yuan: "Dad, I put the tractor in the village to make it easier for Uncle Chen to deliver goods to me and to plow the fields. You need to borrow the tractor. It’s okay, but you have to pay for the gas yourself. Either you buy the diesel yourself, or you give Uncle Chen the diesel money, and he will make an account for me.”

After hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan's face suddenly turned ugly.

He looked at Gao Mingcheng and subconsciously wanted to curse.

But when the words came to his lips, he still swallowed them because he remembered that this was in the county, at Gao Mingcheng's home.

But Gao Yuanyuan's face was still ugly, and he said in a bad tone: "What did Chen Dasong tell you? Mingcheng, Chen Dasong is not good! He moved to our Gaojia Village from outside, and he is not considered our senior at all." People from my village! You don’t want to invite so many people with the surname Gao in the village, but you want to ask him to work for you!”

"You have to go into the mountains to pick fruits and apply fertilizer. There are not enough manpower, and you still ask him to call someone. The person who is called has to thank him! What is this?"

"Last time, we were trying to plow the field. I asked him to plow the field for me, but he refused! The tractor is yours, and he took your salary to plow the field for me. What's wrong?"

Gao Yuanyuan wanted to say more, but Gao Mingcheng interrupted him, "Just because he gets my salary, he has to work for me! My three hundred acres of orchard needs people to take care of it, and the chicken coop with more than a hundred chickens needs to be taken care of." If he does things for you, what will happen to me?"

"Anyway, you want to borrow my tractor, that's fine, but you have to pay for the gas when my tractor is not in use!"

"You-" Gao Yuan was extremely angry, thinking that this guy really hasn't changed at all. He has always made people angry since he was a child.

Gao Yuanyuan remembered that every time Gao Mingcheng made him angry when he was a child, he would chase them with a stick and beat them, but that can't be done now. Now Gao Mingcheng has grown up and is promising, but he is too old to run or fight.

This realization made Gao Yuan very frustrated.

Gao Yuanyuan used a tractor and even wanted Chen Dasong to help him plow the fields. Chen Dasong only told Gao Mingcheng when he returned to the village this time. Because he was afraid that Gao Mingcheng would be angry, Chen Dasong looked a little uneasy when he said it.

The father-son relationship between Gao Mingcheng and Gao Yuanyuan is not very good. This is something that everyone in the village knows more or less, but no matter how bad it is, they are still father and son, and outsiders dare not say anything more.

However, Chen Dasong had many things to do and was really too busy, so he refused to help Gao Yuanyuan.

Gao Yuan's family has a lot of fields, and it would take two days to plow them all, and he was still very tired.

Gao Yuanyuan was so angry at Gao Mingcheng and had nothing to do with Gao Mingcheng, so he subconsciously went to see Gao Mingli and Gao Shufang.

However, Gao Mingli naturally averted his eyes, as if he didn't see or hear.

Gao Shufang looked embarrassed, but it was difficult to say anything.

Gao Mingcheng made the matter clear and was unwilling to stay here any longer. He didn't intend to argue with Gao Yuan, he just wanted to make it clear.

"How beautiful, Xu Xu, let's go home."

Gao Mingcheng stood up, picked up little Xuxu, and prepared to go back to his new home to rest.

Many beauties had already noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere and immediately followed.

The three of them slapped their ass and left, and the rest of the family looked at each other in shock.

Lou Xinyu was the most embarrassed. As a non-staff member of the Gao family, he could not express his opinions, but he felt that he could not stand by and watch.

Hey, why didn't he leave earlier?

After Gao Mingcheng left, Gao Yuanyuan finally dared to express the anger he was holding in his heart. He cursed a few times with a ferocious expression.

"Dad, it's not like my second brother won't let you use the tractor. He just asks you to pay for the gas yourself. What's there to be angry about?" Gao Mingli finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked incomprehensively.

Gao Mingcheng has already taught Gao Mingli how to drive, and he has agreed early on that if he is loading goods for Gao Mingcheng, Gao Mingcheng will be responsible for the gas. If he borrows the car to go somewhere, he will pay for the gas himself. .

Gao Mingli agreed, because he knew that he should not take advantage too much, and he would be very happy if he could take advantage of a little bit.

Gao Yuan glared at him and cursed: "What do you know? Your second brother is not close to the family and was deceived by others!"

Gao Mingli blinked and thought to himself, the second brother is not close to the family. This has been happening since he was a child. It is not unusual anymore.

Gao Shufang actually couldn't understand it. She felt that her second brother was right. Although the tractor belonged to him, it couldn't run without oil, so she paid for the oil herself. How normal is this?

The children cannot understand themselves, Gao Yuanyuan cannot say anything reasonable for a while, and they feel aggrieved.

If I had known earlier, it would be great if he came by bicycle tomorrow!
Definitely have to stay here for one night!
Over there, Duo Mei said to Gao Mingcheng: "We have made a lot of money now, even if we pay for some gas, it will be fine. Why are you so fussy with Dad?"

Gao Mingcheng said: "I'm not arguing with him about the gas money, but to avoid future troubles. If he uses my car, my gas, and my employees, how will I manage things in the village in the future?" "

Gao Mingcheng knew the character of his parents. If there were no restrictions at all, there would be problems with the ownership of the tractor.

He put the tractor in the village mainly to let Chen Dasong help him deliver goods on time, so that when he had no time to return to the village, Chen Dasong would help him deliver fruits, vegetables, eggs, firewood, and Gao Shouwang's goods from the village every now and then. The clothes are delivered.

But once his father can use the tractor casually, it means that his elder brother can also use it casually. When Chen Dasong wants to deliver goods to him, he will have to check whether the tractor is there or not.

Seeing Gao Mingcheng's resolute attitude, Duomei stopped talking. She always knew that her father-in-law and mother-in-law did not like her, so after marrying Gao Mingcheng, she rarely cared about her husband's family's affairs. (End of chapter)
