Although Xiao Xuxu and Xiao Yuanyuan haven't seen each other for a while, but now after meeting, they quickly became intimate, Xiao Yuanyuan took out some of his toys and generously shared them with Xiao Xuxu.

It's a pity that Xiao Xuxu is still at an age when he doesn't understand anything, so when his little hand grabs something, he bites it into his mouth.

"Brother, this is a toy, you can't eat it." Xiao Yuanyuan said seriously, reaching out and taking away the toy from Xiao Xuxu's mouth.

"Ahh......h

Xiao Yuanyuan fiddled with the toy in his hand, it was a bamboo man toy, children in the countryside, naturally not like the city people, can go to the store to buy fashionable toys to play, but they are not short of toys, as long as they pick up a straight stick, they can be used as a sword to play for most of the day.

In addition, those who are good at craftsmanship can also weave various small animals out of grass to play, and girls will use wicker and flowers to weave garlands to wear and play.

The bamboo man in Xiao Yuanyuan's hand is also the common memory of many rural children, it is the image of a person made of small bamboo and rope, when the rope is swinged, the bamboo man will follow, thus producing fun.

The bamboo man in Xiao Yuanyuan's hand is what Gao Zhuang made for her to play with in his spare time, and it is a toy that Xiao Yuanyuan likes very much.

"Ahh......h

"It seems that Xiao Xuxu likes it too, come, uncle will make one for you right away." Seeing this, Gao Zhuang immediately started to move.

There are some bamboo branches piled up in the corner of the wall, and Gao Zhuang can pick them up casually, and you can do it with your hands, first using a knife to cut the bamboo branches into a suitable size, and then placing the bamboo branches into a person's image.

Once you are sure that it can be arranged, you can use a rope to pass through the bamboo branch and secure it.

In the past year or two, Gao Zhuang has not been thinking much about making these things, so it is good and fast to do it, and it will not take long for a new bamboo man to do it.

"Give!" Gao Zhuang handed the newly made bamboo man to Xiao Xuxu, and Xiao Xuxu, who got the new toy, grinned with joy on his face.

Gao Mingcheng has been observing Gao Zhuang's movements, and he has some emotion in his heart.

These things were also often played with when he was a child, but unfortunately, he lived a new life, and he had more life experiences in later generations, but he also forgot a lot of things.

For example, the practice of bamboo people, and the weaving of grasshoppers from thatch, etc. These things, in his memory, seemed to be very distant things.

In the kitchen, the fine grandmother lost the opportunity to take charge of the spoon, so she could only sit on a low stool to light the fire, and the new person in charge of the spoon was He Xiuman.

Many beauties also stayed in the kitchen, chatting with Grandma Xi and He Xiuman, but left two men to take care of the baby in the yard.

"Have you gone to see Grandma Mingcheng? She seems to be recovering well these days, and I sometimes see her walking around the village on crutches. Grandma Xi said, and said deliberately: "The crutches were made by Mingcheng's father who went into the mountains to cut trees, and it was not bad, I heard Mingcheng's grandmother praise it several times." ”

Before, Gao Mingcheng had inadvertently asked Luo Xiaohua why he didn't prepare a wheelchair for Grandma Gao, and let Grandma Gao lie on the bed for more than 40 days, but now after Grandma Gao removed the plaster, Gao Yuanjian prepared a crutch very neatly.

Walking sticks are not a rare thing for the people in the village, and it is almost the same to go into the mountains and choose a suitable tree, cut it down, peel it and trim it.

Except that it's not as elaborate as what is sold in stores, the features are pretty much the same.

"After eating, Mingcheng and I will take the children to see grandma." Many beauties say so.

Everyone has gone to the old village, and if they don't come to the door to see, then they can't talk about it.

"It's time to go and see, she was in good spirits, but after falling this fall, people look several years older." Grandma Xi was quite emotional.

She is a few years younger than Grandma Gao, but in the past few years, she has gradually felt a little difficult when she works in the fields.

Fortunately, Gao Zhuang grew up, and successfully married a good wife, and gave birth to a lovely great-granddaughter to her!

The happiness of life makes Grandma Xi feel extra satisfied, and she also cherishes her body.

In the past, she could touch the dark on the black, but now she doesn't dare to touch the dark, and now her room is also equipped with a light bulb, and when she gets up at night, she pulls the lamp rope first and then gets up, so as to avoid accidentally falling.

Grandma Xi did this, and when chatting with her peers, she said the same, advising everyone not to save and to take care of their health.

Unfortunately, there are always people who think that she is exaggerating.

"The last course is ready, everyone can eat!" He Xiuman's clear voice sounded, and Gao Zhuang in the courtyard immediately walked into the kitchen and brought the fried vegetables to the table in the hall.

Usually, when they eat at home, they sometimes eat in the kitchen for convenience, but today there are distinguished guests, so it is natural to be more formal.

The dishes are quite rich, with a large plate of stir-fried rabbit meat, a plate of scrambled eggs with chili, a plate of fried eggplant with chili, a plate of water spinach and a bowl of loofah soup.

He Xiuman's cooking skills are also good, although the method is not fancy, but the taste is very good.

At the dinner table, everyone praised He Xiuman's cooking skills, and she was embarrassed.

After a full meal, small talk is naturally indispensable, and in the small talk, Gao Mingcheng learned some things in the village.

For example, someone passed away, but because it was from the third room, it was a little far away, Gao Mingcheng didn't need to attend the funeral, but after hearing about it, he felt a little emotionally impermanent.

The torrent of history is unstoppable, and the impermanence of life is also embarrassing.

When someone dies, a new life is born, and in this way, a rich and colorful world is formed.

Gao Mingcheng heard a rather familiar name from Grandma Xi's mouth.

"Two days ago, someone came to report the good news, saying that Gao Feifei gave birth to a son, and shouted that Gao Feifei's parents were going to eat full moon wine."

Gao Feifei's parents were also willing to do so this time, so they went to buy some soft muslin cloth, and called Dong Feixia to help make a few children's clothes, saying that they were going to wear them for their grandson.

Grandma Xi smiled and talked about the gossip in the village.

They have a custom that grandmothers buy new clothes for their children to wear. If your mother's family loves her daughter, then buy more, or it doesn't hurt, just buy one.

Some people will even fill up with a few old clothes.

Gao Feifei's family is seriously patriarchal, and they don't pay much attention to Gao Feifei's daughter.

When Gao Feifei was pregnant and was subjected to domestic violence by her husband, causing a miscarriage and returning to the village, her mother's family did not come forward to support her, but Gao Mingcheng gathered a group of people to come forward and suppressed the arrogance of Gao Feifei's husband.

Since then, Gao Feifei has straightened her waist and behaved, and she has a status in her husband's family, and this time she became a man in one fell swoop, and her status is naturally more stable.

Xu is like this, Gao Feifei's mother's family is willing to show goodwill, and specially made new clothes for the child.

The time of gossip always flies by, and when everyone is still unfinished, the time has come to half past two in the afternoon.

Gao Mingcheng stood up and said to many beauties around him, "Let's go see grandma." ”

"Okay." Many beauties also got up and walked towards their in-laws' house with Gao Mingcheng.

As for Xiao Xuxu, Xiao Xuxu, who is not yet one year old, is already lying on the bed and taking a nap with Xiao Yuanyuan at this time!

After seeing Grandma Gao, Gao Mingcheng said to Duomei: "You stay at Grandma Xiao Xuxu to guard Xiao Xuxu, I will go home to do things, and in an hour, I will come and pick you up to take you to the county." ”

Children need to take a nap, but they can't sleep too long, about two hours, Gao Mingcheng is estimated to come to the time, and when he goes back to Niuweiling to finish things, Xiao Xuxu is just about to get up.

"yes, okay." Many beauties agreed, Xiao Xuxu slept here, and she naturally couldn't walk away.

So the husband and wife split into two routes, and Gao Mingcheng returned to Niuweiling alone.

Approaching the day of herb picking, he decided to go into the mountain to see the growth of the herbs, when he was alone, the speed of climbing the mountain was extremely fast, ordinary people need a day to be able to walk back and forth the mountain, he only needs an hour or two.

Due to time constraints, he didn't plan to go into the mountains, so he took them away on the mountainside of Oxtail Ridge.

As a result, as soon as I walked to the gloomy part of the forest, I saw a lot of snakes.

In line with the principle that the enemy does not move, I do not move, Gao Mingcheng did not attack those snakes, he can eat snake meat, but many beauties do not eat, and Gao Shufang They also do not eat them, so there is no need to catch snakes.

Of course, if there is a snake in Xiaofushan, it still has to be caught.

Who called Kofuyama his territory?

Ignoring the snakes that climbed upside down on the branches, Gao Mingcheng continued to walk forward, looking left and right all the way, observing the vegetation in the mountains.

The plants in this mountain are all treasures that you recognize, and all that you don't know are grass.

Fortunately, Gao Mingcheng has two lifetimes of experience, and there are still many types of vegetation he recognizes.

If short videos are popular at this time, Gao Mingcheng can make a few videos of entering the mountains and learning about the herbs.

Gao Mingcheng walked quickly, and then heard the sound of gurgling water, and it turned out that there was a ditch nearby.

The water resources here are not abundant, there are no big rivers at all, and the only streams and reservoirs cannot breed rich aquatic animals.

But fortunately, they still have the common varieties here.

For example, in the water source area of the mountain, there are wild small fish and shrimp, bullfrogs, stone frogs and other creatures.

Wild ducks can also be seen occasionally, but in very few places.

Gao Mingcheng walked and looked at the bullfrog staying in the ditch, a little itchy.

Bullfrogs don't like to move, they often lie on rocks, they are large, and the meat is delicious, which is really not to be missed.

Even if he didn't bring a bag, Gao Mingcheng thought for a while, and decided to catch a few bullfrogs, and when the time came, he could use weeds to tie their feet and make them into a string.

If it is an ordinary person catching a bullfrog, then it is best to come at night and shine a light on the bullfrog, and the bullfrog will not move and let others catch it.

And there is also a way to catch it, saying that bullfrogs will eat snakes, so you take a taro pole with leaves removed and put it at the water's edge, and then simulate the action of a snake swimming, and when the bullfrog finds it, it will pounce on it and hold the taro pole tightly without letting go.

Snakes can strangle their prey, bullfrogs can also strangle snakes, and at this time, even if you shake up and down with a taro pole, the bullfrog will not fall.

And it's not just a bullfrog that will cling to the taro pole, but also nearby bullfrogs.

So, with one taro pole, you can harvest several bullfrogs.

The efficiency of this kind of capture is not bad.

Of course, Gao Mingcheng doesn't need these two methods, he catches bullfrogs, it's all based on speed and accuracy!

Gao Mingcheng grabbed two bullfrogs with his bare hands and threw them to the ground, the two bullfrogs were killed, and at this time, he began to catch new bullfrogs.

But by this time, the bullfrog group had sensed that something was wrong and began to stir.

Taking advantage of the incomplete chaos, Gao Mingcheng grabbed a few more bullfrogs, and when the bullfrogs were jumping around, he couldn't open the bow left and right, so he could only stare at one of the bullfrogs, and then take the opportunity to catch it.

Once you grab it, throw it on the ground, and the bullfrog will faint.

It took five or six minutes in total, and a dozen or so bullfrogs arrived.

After peeling and gutting, it was enough for a plate of dishes, so he stopped.

Pull a few sticks of cow tendon grass from nearby and tie the bullfrog's feet so that it is easy to carry.

Speaking of which, he hasn't eaten a bullfrog this year, so it's no wonder he couldn't walk after seeing a bullfrog.

Gao Mingcheng looked at the group of bullfrogs that were gradually regaining calm, and thought to himself, the next time he enters the mountain, he still has to bring a bag, so he can catch some more at once.

There are few people in this mountain, and the animals reproduce in an orderly manner, although it is not to the extent of 'beating the roe deer and scooping the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot', but as long as you go into the mountains to hunt, there will always be a harvest.

Carrying a dozen bullfrogs, and then looking at the Lushan brand watch on his wrist, the time was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

After Gao Mingcheng made money, he bought two Rolexes, one for Huang Dazhi and one for himself, but these two watches are currently in the collection stage and are not used much in daily life.

The watch on Gao Mingcheng's wrist is still the first watch he bought after his rebirth, and the Lushan brand watch is also the first self-produced watch in Jiangxi, which is still very commemorative.

At this time, the Nanchang watch factory that produces Lushan brand watches is still a big tax collector in the province, but unfortunately after the nineties, imported watches can be seen everywhere, and the watch has also changed from the chronograph function to the decorative function, and the watch factory is like a declining mountain, which is difficult to maintain.

In 98, the watch factory completely stopped production, and the Lushan brand watch became the memory of the times.

"It's almost time, it's time to go down." Gao Mingcheng muttered, carrying a dozen bullfrogs and running quickly.

It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, especially when encountering steep sections, so people have to be very careful.

But this thing couldn't help Gao Mingcheng, if he encountered a steep slope, he jumped down directly, landed steadily, and then continued to run down the mountain.

So on him, this descent was like a gust of wind, and it came in an instant.

As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, the three dogs came forward smelling the smell.

Gao Mingcheng saw that Rhubarb seemed to be curious about the bullfrog in his hand, so he smiled and said, "You can't eat this thing!" ”

Bullfrogs have a lot of parasites, so they have to eat cooked, not raw, and dogs can't digest bullfrog bones if they eat them.

Gao Mingcheng was going to the county soon, so naturally he didn't have time to eat the bullfrogs cooked by Sangou.

He could only say: "Next time, I'll get more next time, and then I'll cook a pot for you to eat!" ”

Speaking of food, the three dogs were very spiritual, and they all barked at Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng processed the bullfrog first, removed the head, peeled the skin and removed the internal organs, and the remaining meat was edible.

After handling the bullfrogs, he went down to the field with a basket to pick vegetables.

Another half an hour passed after he was busy, and after he loaded all the things he was going to bring, he headed in the direction of the old village, ready to pick up many Mei and Xiao Xuxu.

The afternoon sun was just right, sprinkled on his body, gilded with a layer of gold. (End of chapter)
