Chapter 275: Cheerful Breath
Gao Mingcheng ran wildly in the mountains, feeling the taste of freedom.
Although long-distance drivers make money, their work is not easy to do, and the dangers encountered on the road are not much to say, just driving this is tiring enough.
People sit in the driver's seat, let alone drive for hours, but people's energy is limited, driving for a long time will cause visual fatigue, the longer the driving, the heavier the fatigue the body feels.
And in recent years, the transportation company has received countless orders, and when he left, Xiao Jinfeng had to personally go to Shandong to transport a cart of apples back.
Now he has gotten rid of his position as a driver and is running freely in the mountains and forests, with him in front and two dogs chasing him behind.
The weeds in the mountains have long since withered and are not as lush as in the other three seasons, and the leaves of deciduous trees have turned yellow and fallen one after another. Only a few evergreen trees still maintain the true color of the mountain forest.
In this case, the pines and cypresses are particularly conspicuous, and Gao Mingcheng saw a lot of cypress trees along the way, and those cypress trees were more or less hung with some mature cypress seeds.
Cypress seeds are also a medicinal herb, it has a lot of functions, if it is picked to make pillows, then it can be harvested in September. If you want to collect cypress kernels, you have to harvest them in late October, when the cone-scale of the cypress tree turns from blue-green to yellow-green and the scales are slightly cracked, and the quality of the seeds is high.
And when it comes to medicine, it is basically to use cypress seeds. Because of this time problem, before participating in the Pharmaceutical Fair, Gao Mingcheng did not deliberately collect Bai Ziren.
After that, he was so busy with miscellaneous things that he forgot about it.
At this time, the scales of the cypress seeds hanging on the tree have been completely cracked, and the cypress kernels inside have fallen to the ground.
Obviously, these overcooked cypress kernels are useless.
Gao Mingcheng walked quickly through the bushes, and various thoughts frequently ran through his mind.
He had moved the beehives to the forest at the foot of the mountain, and now he was going to see the Poria he had planted earlier, which had been planted in May, and in the process of growing, a small number of them had died, but most of them had survived.
Soon, he came to the slope of the hill where Poria cocos was planted, which was relatively empty, and only the Poria seedlings were particularly conspicuous.
Poria cocos mainly absorbs the nutrients in pine wood, so in the process of planting, there is no need to fertilize, only need to keep the soil moist, and remove insects and weeds.
Gao Mingcheng found that the remaining Poria cocos were not dead, but because of the dry weather, the growth was not very good, and they were a little wilted.
Being in the mountains, even if Gao Mingcheng has excellent physical strength, he can't carry water for watering, so he can only let it grow naturally.
After turning all the Poria Fields, it was half past twelve.
Gao Mingcheng said to the two dogs: "Go, go home!" ”
"Wow!" The two dogs barked, in high spirits.
For the two dogs, today's exercise has already reached the standard, but because they haven't been into the mountains for a long time, they are very excited one by one, and they don't feel tired at all.
So one man and two dogs began to descend the mountain, and the movement made startled all kinds of small animals fled in a hurry.
When Gao Mingcheng returned home from the mountain, many beauties had already prepared the food and were warming it in a large iron pot.
Many beauties were bent down in the vegetable patch to pluck turnips, and at her feet, there was already a small pile of turnips.
The radish at this time is not very large, only the thickness of a baby's arm, but it is very tender! This kind of tender radish is good when fried with meat, and the kind of large radish is delicious when stewed in soup.
Seeing Gao Mingcheng coming down the mountain, Duo Mei straightened up and said, "I plan to bring more food and buy it again." ”
Most of the winter vegetables are planted, and because of the diligent watering and fertilization, they grow quite well.
Gao Mingcheng glanced at it and said, "You don't need to bring too much, I have to come back tomorrow to get something, and I'll bring the food over when the time comes." ”
There are too many things today, and I'm afraid that I can't bring it with one car, so Gao Mingcheng thinks that he may have to come back tomorrow.
Although winter dishes are not easy to spoil, it is better to eat fresh.
"Okay then." Many beauties stopped pulling turnips and walked out of the vegetable patch.
Gao Mingcheng hugged the plucked radish, and the two walked home side by side.
After lunch and packing up my things, I didn't delay much and got ready to go out.
It's just that when he saw the cow, Gao Mingcheng frowned slightly and pondered, he felt that the cow was a little cumbersome.
It's been almost a year since I bought the cow, and the cow hasn't come in handy yet, but it seems to be almost eliminated.
He only has one acre of land, and even if he plows the field by manpower, he can't get tired, not to mention that he has now bought a tractor!
The front and body of the tractor can be disassembled, and with a tool for plowing the field, you can drive the tractor to work in the field, how easy it is!
Although they have a hilly area, the fields are connected and relatively flat, and they can work with tractors, but not in the mountains.
"What are you looking at? There's not much grass outside, so I didn't bring the sheep out much, so let my brother take the cattle out for a walk. Many beauties passed by Gao Mingcheng with a bag of things.
In winter, there is little forage, and most of the food for cattle and sheep is hay, including sun-dried sweet potato vines, sun-dried straw, etc., of course, they will also be taken out every day to carry out activities, and by the way, eat a few mouthfuls of grass.
In addition to these, radish leaves, radish skins, and old cabbage leaves, which are not eaten by humans, can also be fed to livestock.
"I'm wondering if I should sell the cow." Gao Mingcheng didn't hide it and said what he thought.
This cow is of little use, and you have to take care of it every day, which is tiring.
As for the sheep, it is different, these two sheep are raised until the New Year to kill and eat, and when the time comes, relatives and friends who have a good relationship will send some, and the rest will be kept and eaten slowly.
"Sell the cow? Sell to whom? Many beauties have a candidate in their hearts, but she didn't speak, because she knew that her second sister's family might not have the money to buy cattle.
Gao Mingcheng also has a personal choice in his heart, he wants to sell it to his father, his father's family has a lot of land, and now the third and fourth children are working outside, as for the eldest brother, he goes out to work when he has a job, and stays at home to farm when he doesn't work.
But even so, the fields and fields at home are tired enough for people to choke.
It's just that the father and son also have to settle the account, and he plans to talk to his father about this matter tomorrow to see if his father is willing to buy it?
If you are willing to buy it, it can come in handy when it comes to spring ploughing.
"Besides, let's go to the county first, and the county still has a bunch of things to do." Gao Mingcheng vaguely walked out of the house.
The driver's seat of the tractor can only sit one person, so many beautiful people sit in the back of the car.
When the car drove to her second sister's house, Duomei got out of the car and asked her brother to help take care of her family's house and land and livestock.
Zhang Chengyuan is also familiar with this, and after taking the key, he will respond in one bite.
Relatives should take care of each other, not to mention doing things for Gao Mingcheng, Gao Mingcheng will not treat him badly, so Zhang Chengyuan is very happy.
He had no friends, no entertainment, and work was his way of passing the time.
After explaining Zhang Chengyuan, the tractor continued to walk forward, and then came to the mouth of the pond in the old village.
This time it was Gao Mingcheng who got out of the car, and he was going to call Gao Shufang at home.
In the past, I happened to meet Gao Zhuang accompanying He Xiuman to walk around the village, He Xiuman's belly was already very big, even if he was wearing thick cotton clothes, it was obvious.
Grandma Xi and Gao Zhuang were willing to give her food and drink, so she ate meat every once in a while throughout her pregnancy, and her face was round and she looked very good.
"Brother Mingcheng." Gao Zhuang hadn't seen him for a long time, so as soon as they met, he greeted him excitedly.
"Hello guys, I haven't seen each other for a long time, I'm free one day, let's have a meal together." Gao Mingcheng was also extremely emotional when he saw Gao Zhuang.
Once a person has a family, he has responsibilities.
Gao Zhuang followed him every day before, and now he has also taken on his responsibility. Most of the work in the field is done by Gao Zhuang, and when he is empty, he will accompany Grandma Xi and He Xiuman to talk and listen to the radio together.
In two months, Gao Zhuang's child will be born, and at that time, he will have more responsibilities, and Gao Zhuang, who is busy taking care of the family, will obviously no longer be able to follow Gao Mingcheng as before.
Gao Mingcheng was a little emotional, but he was more happy for Gao Zhuang.
Family is a kind of responsibility and a kind of happiness.
When Gao Mingcheng was talking to Gao Zhuang, Gao Shufang, who heard the movement, had already walked out with a bag, and she was bouncing and walking, and her whole person was full of cheerfulness.
"Second brother, I'll pack up, you can go!" Gao Shufang smiled, with a bright smile.
