The next day was indeed a sunny day, the sun hung high, and the sun shone down in the courtyard.

Unfortunately, the snow has not melted all over the ground, and the wind is still cold.

In the morning, Gao Mingcheng first sent a lot of Mei and Xiao Xuxu to the clothing store, and in the two days of snow, Gao Mingcheng also took the time to go there, and many of them didn't leave the yard.

Walking down the street now, she looks quite happy.

Not only her, Xiao Xuxu was also very happy, being held in Gao Mingcheng's arms, but a small head looked east and west, and he liked the outside world very much.

When he arrived at the clothing store, he called his aunt affectionately, which provoked Gao Shufang to immediately put down what she was doing and reach out to hug him.

After calling my aunt, I called my aunt and aunt, and I called my aunt and aunt, focusing on a sweet mouth.

I haven't seen each other for two days, and everyone feels a lot more intimate with each other.

When Gao Shufang learned that the second brother was going to buy an electric blanket to give to her grandmother, she smiled and said, "Second brother, I bought socks for my grandmother and parents, and you can help me send them back." ”

Last time, when Gao Shufang bought socks for herself, she felt that the socks were of good quality, so she bought more and prepared to find time to give them to her grandmother and parents.

Gao Mingcheng nodded and said, "Okay, you go get something down, I'll leave later." ”

"Hey." Gao Shufang responded, quickly went upstairs and returned to her room, and then took off the socks, there were a total of thirty pairs, ten pairs each, enough for them to wear for a winter.

After Gao Mingcheng took something, he drove a tractor out, first went to the department store to buy a four-bed electric blanket, when he went to buy it, he was told that the electric blanket was about to be sold out, because it was cold this year, many people came to buy it.

After Gao Mingcheng heard this, he casually reminded them and asked them to hurry up and buy the goods, because in the future, more people will come to buy.

After coming out of the store, Gao Mingcheng tightened the rabbit skin hat on his head and put on gloves again, and then continued to drive the tractor to the village.

Along the way, the sun was shining, but the cold wind was biting. On the side of the road, the snow melts, but on the slopes beyond, the world is still covered in snow.

It was too cold, and few vehicles could be seen on the road, and the people who occasionally saw them were all fully dressed.

After returning to Gaojia Village, Gao Mingcheng stopped at the old village first, took two electric blankets and the socks Gao Shufang bought, and walked towards the house where the old village was gathered.

He first gave an electric blanket to Grandma Xi, and then walked to his parents' house with other things.

In the fields outside the village, the greens are covered with snow, but in the village, the hard-working people have swept away the snow.

The first snow was not heavy, and the snow layer covering the branches of the eaves was only about a centimeter, but the arrival of the first snow indicated that the weather had cooled down rapidly.

Because the weather was cold and there was not much work to be done in the fields, Gao Mingcheng's parents and grandmother were watching TV in the hall, as well as other people in the village.

Seeing that Gao Mingcheng was back, they all opened their mouths to say hello, and when someone saw him holding something, they asked curiously what it was.

"It's an electric blanket, spread on the bed, and when you plug it in, it gets warm." Gao Mingcheng showed the electric blanket, which was a bit of science popularization for everyone.

Many people don't know what an electric blanket is, but after listening to Gao Mingcheng's popular science, they were amazed and sighed that there is such a good thing.

Gao Mingcheng carefully explained where it was sold, as well as the price, and the implication was that if they wanted to buy it, they could go to the county to buy it themselves.

As he spoke, Gao Mingcheng took out the socks that Gao Shufang bought, and carefully explained that Gao Shufang bought them, so he put them down and let his mother take them and clean them up.

"I still have something to do over there, so I'll go first." Gao Mingcheng finished the matter and was ready to slip away.

As a result, as soon as I walked out of the yard, I saw Gao Zhuang waiting on the path next to him.

Seeing Gao Mingcheng coming out, Gao Zhuang immediately walked over and said with a smile: "Brother Mingcheng, my grandmother called you to eat here at noon." ”

Gao Mingcheng sent an electric blanket and left before, so he didn't have time to say a few more words.

"Okay, I'll go over there first, and then I'll come back at noon." Gao Mingcheng nodded in agreement, and then without further ado, he went back to Niuweiling first.

I haven't been back for a while, and I have to care about a lot of things at home.

I went to Zhang Chengyuan's house first.

At this time, Zhang Chengyuan's family also happened to be at home, but Zhang Chengyuan couldn't stay idle and was sitting in the yard sharpening bamboo chopsticks.

The bamboo chopsticks that people in the village eat are naturally not bought with money, but made at home.

Go to the mountains to cut bamboo, after the shade is dry, you can find time to make the bamboo chopsticks, do bamboo chopsticks are also particular, generally twenty-two centimeters long, the lower end of the chopsticks is rounded, convenient to eat vegetables, will not cut the corners of the mouth, and the upper end, is four sides of the edges.

These four edges are also used for shaving ginger skin.

Zhang Chengyuan's tools are limited, so he can only use a firewood knife to round the lower end of the chopsticks little by little.

Seeing Gao Mingcheng coming, Zhang Chengyuan immediately stopped what he was doing and said hello.

"Brother, where is the second sister?" Gao Mingcheng asked.

"In the house, just now Xiaoshi was playing in the snow and accidentally fell into a puddle of water and soiled his clothes, so Duoyu changed his clothes in the house." As soon as Zhang Chengyuan finished speaking, he heard the wailing of the small stone.

Well, it's true to change clothes, but it's also true to get beaten and scolded!

It's a big deal if a child gets dirty when he gets his clothes dirty!

It is troublesome to wash clothes in winter, and clothes are not easy to dry, so it is no wonder that many jade are angry.

Gao Mingcheng smiled and decided to save his nephew.

"Second sister, Tomei asked me to buy a bed electric blanket to give to you, you make the electric blanket on the bed, cover it with a sheet, plug it in, and you can warm up." Gao Mingcheng walked into the room while talking.

After entering the house, he began to look up and down, and found that the inside and outside of the house were completely the same temperature!

This house is very old, it was built by many Jade fathers when they were young, and after living for so many years, the materials are not good, and there is wind and rain everywhere.

"Brother-in-law! My mom beats me! Xiaoshi ran to Gao Mingcheng's side with a roar, seeking Gao Mingcheng's protection.

He was beaten, his cheeks were red, his eyes were filled with tears, and a long line of snot hung from his nose.

Little Stone snorted and sucked in some, but to no avail, there was still a lot of snot, and it was even going to flow into his mouth.

But the little stone was not afraid and even licked the snot into his mouth with his tongue.

Seeing this spicy-eyed scene, Gao Mingcheng couldn't look at it directly!

He quickly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and wiped off the snot for the small stone.

Since having a son, Gao Mingcheng has been used to putting wrapping paper in his pocket. No, it comes in handy now!

"Want to plug it in? Does it cost electricity? Many jade's attention was attracted by the electric blanket, and she no longer taught the little stone, she touched the electric blanket, there was some novelty, and at the same time she was reluctant to use electricity.

In the past two years, there have been more and more people pulling wires in the village, and many Yu families have also pulled wires this year, but because of habit, she is reluctant to use electricity, and only turns on the light bulb when necessary, so that after a month, there are few kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Gao Mingcheng said: "You plug in the electricity before going to bed, and when it's warm and ready to sleep, turn it off." If you drive it for an hour a day, you won't need much electricity. ”

Many jade heard that they didn't need much electricity, so they were relieved.

Although I don't know how much this electric blanket costs, I guess I also know that it costs a lot of money, so a lot of jade, who has always been stingy, also left Gao Mingcheng to eat at home for the first time.

It's a pity that Gao Mingcheng didn't give her this opportunity to entertain.

He really didn't want to eat a lot of Yu family's food, he ate it too late! And a lot of jade is reluctant to put oil and salt, and the cooked dishes are not delicious.

Instead of eating at many Yu houses, he might as well cook a bowl of noodles and eat it himself.

Many jades failed to keep Gao Mingcheng, half pity, half joy.

Gao Mingcheng doesn't eat at home, so she saves trouble. And she has already been invited, but Gao Mingcheng himself refuses to eat it, so she will be at ease.

Gao Mingcheng was also very familiar with a lot of jade, and when he saw her face, he knew what she was thinking, so he didn't stay long and went back to his house.

Sitting on the tractor, he looked at Xiaofushan in the distance, and saw that there seemed to be no oranges on the hill where oranges were grown.

At this moment, Chen Dasong took Chen Duofu and walked over to the shed at the foot of Xiaofu Mountain.

From afar, Chen Dasong said loudly: "Mingcheng, you're back." It snowed two days ago, and I was afraid that the oranges on the tree would freeze and rot, so I shouted Duofu Duoxi and quickly picked them back, and now they are placed in a large vat in your utility room and covered with straw. ”

"The beehives in the mountains, we also moved back two days ago, and now the beehives are placed in the shed, and the plastic sheeting is installed around the shed, and it is also warm inside!"

"There's still some honey in the beehive, do you think you should let the bees eat that honey, or feed them white sugar water?"

After a series of words, the person also walked in front of Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng said: "It's better to feed some sugar water, save yourself from starvation." I didn't buy sugar today, I should still have a little half a catty at home, right? I'll go find it out, use it first, and when you want to go to the cooperative to buy something next time, you can help me buy a few catties of sugar by the way, and I'll give you the money, and I'll save me running back and forth. ”

"Okay." Chen Dasong nodded in response, and said: "Now that the weather is cold, chickens don't like to lay eggs, and I haven't picked up any eggs for a while, there are only twenty or thirty in the family." ”

Gao Mingcheng knows that when the temperature is below five degrees, chickens will not lay eggs, of course, if the temperature of the chicken coop is relatively high and the feed is sufficient, then the chickens will still lay eggs, but not much.

"It's okay, it's normal. Uncle Chen, on this snowy day, you live alone on the chicken coop, is it cold? Gao Mingcheng asked with concern, properly caring for employees, this is a must.

Chen Dasong said with a smile: "When I first built the house, I built it myself, and I used a lot of materials, and a few days before the snow, I wrapped a layer of plastic sheeting on the outside of the house, and even wrapped the windows, leaving only a small crack." People stay in the house, and they are warm without a fire! ”

"Don't worry about the chickens, so many chickens get together, and they won't be cold, it's just the dozen or so ducks, raised alone on the side, I'm afraid they will be cold, Mingcheng, do you want to drive the ducks to the chicken coop too?"

As soon as he heard this, Gao Mingcheng shook his head and rejected Chen Dasong's proposal.

Chickens and ducks can get along well, but the problem is that polybreeding is easy to get sick!

It doesn't matter if there are only a dozen chickens, but he has more than 100 chickens! - Oh, if you do the math, there will probably be about ninety chickens, because some of them have died and some have been eaten.

A while ago, there was chicken plague in other places, and he didn't get chicken plague here because of his proper defense, but he should be cautious when sailing a 10,000-year-old ship.

Gao Mingcheng said: "Chickens and ducks should be raised separately and cannot be mixed together. You spread more straw in the duck house, so that it will be warmer. ”

"By the way, I have one more thing to tell you. In winter, the pests are dormant, so the fruit trees should also strengthen their defenses, and from today onwards, you will brush the trunks of the fruit trees in the mountains with a layer of lime water. ”

Painting the trunk white has a variety of benefits.

It can kill bacteria and insects, prevent frost damage, sunburn, avoid frost damage in early spring, etc., and the temperature will be much lower this winter, so the fruit trees in the mountains need to be protected in time.

Gao Mingcheng continued: "There should be quicklime in the warehouse, you boil the quicklime with water, put some salt, and then stir and stir, the shorter fruit trees, just paint half a meter high, and the higher fruit trees should be painted more than one meter high." ”

In fact, the whitening agent also needs to put stone sulfur mixture, adhesive, etc., but Gao Mingcheng didn't buy it, so he used quicklime water, except for the adhesion effect, there was no other problem.

The technique of whitening the trunk has been around for a long time, but it has not yet been fully popularized, so Chen Dasong does not know how to operate it.

So Gao Mingcheng simply started to make a lime water on the spot, and used a homemade small mop to apply lime water to the trunk of the tree.

It may be a little complicated to say, but after Chen Dasong saw Gao Mingcheng do it once, he learned to understand, and then said: "Okay, it just so happens that there is nothing to do now, then I and Duofu will slowly paint the entire mountain white." ”

This is actually a big project, but you can take it slowly, so there is no rush.

While a few people were talking, the five dogs in the family gathered around Gao Mingcheng, wagging their tails one by one and spreading joy, as if they wanted to attract Gao Mingcheng's attention.

It's a pity that Gao Mingcheng didn't have time to tease them until he finished talking about business.

Seeing that Gao Mingcheng's attention shifted to the dogs, Chen Dasong said with a smile: "These dogs are really good, with them by my side, I don't feel scared when I keep vigil in the chicken coop." ”

"A while ago, they caught a lot of voles in the field, what a hero! They were very smart, and they brought those voles to me, and after I defured them and gutted them, they ate them in a big gulp, very well-behaved! ”

Several dogs seemed to know that Chen Dasong was praising them, so they barked proudly, and the black tiger firmly occupied the C position, so that Gao Mingcheng could touch its head as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Gao Mingcheng touched the black tiger and said, "Keep up the good work, catch more voles!" ”

People who farm the land don't like voles the most.

This thing will burrow in the ground, it will eat the seeds buried in the soil, and when the crops are grown, they will eat the crops.

If there are a lot of vole families in the field, then you don't expect a harvest!
