When the welding torch was working, a large spark was aroused, Gao Mingcheng wore a pair of labor protection gloves, held the welding torch in one hand, and covered his face with a face mask with the other hand to protect his eyes from injury.

Thanks to his efforts, he finally welded a few iron pipes to the tractor's body, which is equivalent to building an iron pipe rack on the body, and then laying a tarpaulin later, the tractor was converted into a box body.

With a tarp to protect you from the wind and rain, you will be much more comfortable when you sit in the car body.

The main reason why he has the idea of modification is that it is too cold this year, and when the New Year comes, he will definitely take a lot of Mei and Xiao Xuxu back to the village, and when the cold wind is howling, he is afraid that the child will be sick.

And I have to go to the New Year, the eldest sister lives relatively close to many Jin's families, but it takes 20 minutes to go by tractor, and the third sister lives far away for many months, and has to drive for more than 50 minutes.

This way of blowing the wind has passed, and it is too much of a test of people's physical fitness.

Therefore, Gao Mingcheng had the idea of installing a tarpaulin in the car body, but he didn't take action for the time being, this time he wanted to bring Grandma Xi to the county to fill his teeth, so he simply took action quickly, so that when he sent Grandma Xi back to the village tomorrow, it would not be cold.

The elderly and children are the most afraid of the cold.

Gao Mingcheng did things seriously, but Xiao Jinfeng's father was surprised and boasted: "Mingcheng, I didn't expect you to use a welding torch!" ”

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said truthfully: "It's just that I can use it, but I use it in general." ”

The more he has experienced, he will naturally be more or less proficient.

After the iron pipe is welded, Gao Mingcheng is ready to lay the tarpaulin. He had already measured the size, cut it with scissors, and now he picked up the tarpaulin and threw it so hard that he threw it onto the iron pipe rack.

"Uncle, you help me over there, and the two of us will level it together." Gao Mingcheng said.

"Okay." Xiao Jinfeng's father responded and stepped forward to help with the work, and under the hands of the two, the tarpaulin was quickly laid, and the next step was to fix the tarpaulin with a rope.

Gao Mingcheng's tractor is painted with blue paint, and this tarpaulin is green, the two colors are commensurate, and when they are matched together, it is not ugly.

After the carport was made, the light inside the carport was a little dim, but Gao Mingcheng didn't make a curtain, and the back was so open, which was convenient for people to enter and exit and carry goods, and when driving, it was not easy for wind to come in this direction.

After an hour of busy work, I finally got everything done.

Gao Mingcheng helped send all the tools back to the warehouse, and then said hello to Xiao Jinfeng's father and left.

As for the money, he offered to give it, but Xiao Jinfeng's father refused to ask for it, and Gao Mingcheng didn't insist on giving it, anyway, after he found an opportunity, he just gave Xiao Jinfeng and them some gifts, such as the next time he got a wild boar, he would send Xiao Jinfeng more wild boar.

Gao Mingcheng started the tractor again and returned to the clothing store.

Although the tractor has been modified, as a driver, Gao Mingcheng still has to face the cold wind and let the cold wind beat on his body.

Fortunately, the young man's body is resistant, and there is no problem at all!

When she returned to the clothing store, Gao Shufang was already preparing dinner.

Today there are guests at home, of course, the meals should be sumptuous, in addition to stir-frying, there is also a hot pot, hot pot can scald everything!

Water tofu, fried tofu, cabbage, sliced meat, rice noodles, etc., all can be put in!

Grandma Xi couldn't be idle, so she rushed to light the fire, and said: "Mingcheng, I left in a hurry today, and I forgot to give you sweet potato powder!" I made a lot of sweet potato flour this year, and I was going to divide some of them, but I was in a hurry and forgot about it! When you go back tomorrow, you'll have to remember to bring it back to eat. ”

Grandma Xi was afraid that she had forgotten again, so she told Gao Zhuang to make sure he remembered.

Gao Zhuang naturally responded to show that he would not forget.

Speaking of sweet potato flour, Gao Zhuang remembered one more thing, and he said to Gao Mingcheng: "A while ago, the people in the village had already gone into the mountains to dig kudzu. I heard Brother Cheng, you also want to make some arrowroot powder this year? In the mountains around this village, I'm afraid there is no kudzu anymore! ”

Gao Mingcheng was very busy a while ago, where did he have time to go back to the village to dig kudzu, hearing the news, he was quite calm, anyway, at the beginning, he was ready to dig deep into the mountains.

Gao Mingcheng counted the days and said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, when I send you back tomorrow, I will go to the mountains to dig kudzu for a day, make kudzu powder, and then go back to the county." ”

After Gao Mingcheng finished speaking, he looked at many beauties.

Tatsumi nodded in support of his idea.

There are people around her who help to watch the store and sell clothes, and there are also people who help take Xiao Xuxu, so no matter whether Gao Mingcheng goes out to buy goods or goes back to the village to work, she has no complaints.

So the matter was settled, and Gao Mingcheng said again: "How beautiful, then you make me a white cotton bag for use to filter kudzu paste." ”

"Okay." Many beauties responded and turned around and went to the sewing machine, and as for the fabric, the store also had it in stock.

She took out a ruler and cut it with scissors, then folded it in half, and a cotton bag was ready. This is where there is a sewing machine, and if you sew with needle and thread, it will definitely take a little more time.

Speaking of making arrowroot, it evoked the memories of Grandma Xi, she said: "It's okay in the past few years, people before had nothing to eat, and they were hungry and panicked, and at that time, the kudzu roots all over the mountains were dug up and eaten." After digging the kudzu root, dig the bracken root, and after the bracken root is processed, it can also fill the stomach, but the taste is unpalatable. There is also bitter oak, there are few vegetables in winter, and as soon as you eat bitter oak tofu, you can eat it for a winter! ”

"By the way, Ming Cheng, you definitely didn't pick up bitter oaks this year, Xiuman and I picked up a lot, and they have all been dried and shelled, do you want to take some to eat?"

Gao Mingcheng said: "There is no stone mill here, so it is inconvenient to grind it into a pulp, and it is impossible to make bitter tofu." ”

After the bitter oak is dried and shelled, it can be stored for a long time, and when you want to eat, you can put it in water in advance, soak it several times, soak the bitter and astringent taste, and then grind the swollen bitter oak into a pulp like grinding soybean milk, and then boil the pulp to set it, put it in water and soak it, and take it as you eat.

In winter, make bitter tofu once, and it will not spoil for several days. And when it's done, you can send some to your friends and relatives, so that when your friends and relatives make it, they will send you some more, and you can eat fresh all the time.

The key to human relations is the word "exchanges".

Come and go often, only then can there be human affection.

When Grandma Xi heard this, her face was a little disappointed, but she still said: "Then when I go back, I will make some bitter tofu, and you can bring it here for everyone to taste when the time comes." ”

This time, Gao Mingcheng nodded in response.

Although the taste of bitter tofu is not as delicate as soybean tofu, it also has its own merits, especially for people who are from snacks to adults, and they miss it a little bit in their bones.

Everyone chatted and did things at the same time, and soon a sumptuous meal was on the table.

There are a lot of people today, so Xiao Yuanyuan and Xiao Xuxu sat on two low stools, with a large square stool in the middle, which served as a small dining table.

The two sat facing each other, eating the food in the bowl together, and after having a companion, the two children ate faster and better than the competition.

Adults sit on the table, enjoy the bright and spicy Jiangxi food, in the cold winter, eat a bite of Jiangxi food, keep you warm!

After the meal, Gao Mingcheng arranged for Grandma Xi and Gao Zhuang's father and daughter to live in an empty room on the second floor.

There is a bed and a quilt here, you can sleep after laying the cover, if the cover is dirty, there is also a washing machine to wash, which is very convenient.

After arranging the fine grandmothers, Gao Mingcheng was ready to take a lot of Mei and Xiao Xuxu home, but Xiao Xuxu refused to leave, and had to sleep with Sister Yuanyuan.

Gao Zhuang said: "Just let Xiao Xuxu stay here, and I'll take the two of them to sleep together at night." ”

Grandma Xi immediately said: "I'll take them to sleep, you young people feel heavy, in case the child kicks the quilt, you don't know!" ”

If it's summer, it's okay if you don't cover the quilt, but now it's winter, and Grandma Xi is worried that the child will kick the quilt and get cold, so she refuses to let Gao Zhuang take the child to sleep alone.

She is an old man, she feels easy to wake up, and she can know that the child turns over in the middle of the night.

At this time, Xiao Xuxu and Xiao Yuanyuan both took off their shoes and played on the bed, giggling with laughter.

Gao Mingcheng looked at Xiao Xuxu and asked again, "My mother and I are leaving, are you sure you want to stay?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Xuxu couldn't say anything so complicated, he only nodded vigorously, indicating that his intention to stay was very firm.

Okay, since the child wants to stay, then stay, anyway, this side is also his own home, and he is surrounded by relatives, and Xiao Xuxu will not be afraid.

Gao Mingcheng was a little excited at the thought of being able to live in a two-person world, so he didn't say anything more, and went back to the new house with a lot of beauty.

Gao Mingcheng is quite happy, but a lot of beauty is a little uncomfortable.

Since the child was born, she has never left her side, and now she suddenly wants to be separated from the child, and she is not suitable for being a mother.

When I arrived at my new home, I couldn't get up the energy to do anything else, and even watching TV shows was a bit boring.

Where can Gao Mingcheng let her be lost all the time, immediately poured two glasses of ginseng wine, decided to have a drink with many beauties, drank, chatted, and coaxed many beauties to sit in front of the piano and play a song, in the beautiful music and Gao Mingcheng's praise, many beauties gradually felt relaxed all over their bodies, and there was a feeling of freedom that had not been seen for a long time.

It is said that after drinking, after drinking, people's minds are empty, and they can indeed decompress.

As the atmosphere was set to the extreme, Gao Mingcheng unceremoniously picked the fruit, first coaxed Duomei to take a mandarin duck bath with him, and then transferred the battlefield to the room, but when the atmosphere was just right, Duomei suddenly felt a swelling pain, and the milk sprayed on the bed.

Under the dim light, many beautiful faces blushed, and subconsciously said: "It's all your fault, the sheets are dirty!" ”

She hasn't been weaned yet, and she was used to feeding her child a dose of breast milk before going to bed, but today the child was not by her side, and she was teased by Gao Mingcheng, and her body was out of control.

Seeing this, Gao Mingcheng didn't say a word, and leaned down directly.

My son is not here, isn't there still Lao Tzu!

……

The next day, Gao Mingcheng, who was satisfied, woke up half an hour late for the first time, he looked at the many beauties around him, and thought, sure enough, two people in one bed are just right, and three people are too crowded!

After Xiao Xuxu is three years old, let him sleep in separate beds immediately!

He glanced at the watch placed next to the bed, it was already past seven o'clock, so he got up quietly, went to cook the porridge first, and waited for the porridge to be almost cooked, and then woke up many Mei.

Seeing that many beauties didn't sleep enough, Gao Mingcheng suddenly felt a little weak, and he simply said: "Otherwise, you sleep for a while, I'll just wait and send Grandma Xi to the hospital to fill her teeth." ”

Now that they were all awake, Duomei refused to sleep again, and she turned her head to feel more sober. The first time her son left his parents' side, she was a little uneasy in her heart, and hoped to hurry over to see the situation.

So many beauties got up with their bodies propped up, brushed their teeth and washed their faces, ate a bowl of gruel, and prepared to go to the clothing store.

She tried her best to walk normally, but Gao Mingcheng still saw that her steps were a little stiff, so he secretly supported Duo Mei, but was glared at by Duo Mei.

Well, it was him who went too far last night.

All the way to the clothing store, the time was already past eight o'clock.

So Gao Mingcheng didn't delay much, took Grandma Xi and Gao Zhuang, and walked towards the hospital.

As for Xiao Yuanyuan, she naturally stayed in the clothing store and was accompanied by Xiao Xuxu.

When Grandma Xi and Gao Zhuang sat on the modified tractor body, both of them couldn't help but look around.

When the tractor started, Grandma Xi said in surprise: "Hey, there is no wind, it's really not cold!" Mingcheng, you still have a smart brain! ”

Gao Mingcheng, who was complimented, laughed.

In fact, in the 90s, they had this kind of tricycle with a tarpaulin to solicit passengers, this kind of car, because of the slow speed, so it is also called slow swimming, because of the potholes on the road, people sit in it all the way bumpy, and it is quite easy to get motion sickness.

This kind of passenger-carrying tricycle was popular in this small county town for more than 20 years before it was banned.

As the country grew, people had money in their pockets to buy cars, and even if they couldn't afford to buy a car, electric cars and motorcycles were often in the streets.

Gao Mingcheng drove the modified tractor all the way to the hospital, and he noticed that the people on the side of the road frequently looked at him, obviously attracted by the new shape of the tractor.

After arriving at the hospital, Gao Mingcheng took his grandmother to register for a doctor.

Filling teeth is indeed not troublesome, when Grandma Xi went to the doctor, in front of her was also an old lady, the old lady's teeth fell out most of them, so the remaining few rotten teeth were simply extracted.

When Grandma Xi heard that she was going to have all her teeth pulled out, she couldn't help but be taken aback, and she whispered, "After pulling out all the teeth, how can you eat?" ”

That must not starve to death?

Grandma Xi was shocked, but she didn't dare to say that she was starving.

Gao Mingcheng also whispered: "Her teeth have fallen out too much, and it is difficult to fill them, so she has to wear dentures, and after installing dentures, she can still eat." ”

Gao Mingcheng gave Grandma Xi a science popularization of the use of full-mouth removable dentures, and Grandma Xi was stunned for a while.
