Knowing that Gao Mingpeng came to report the good news, Gao Mingcheng was not surprised, and after accepting the red eggs, he said a few congratulations.

After Gao Mingpeng left, Gao Mingcheng asked many beauties to prepare congratulatory gifts, planning to grind the kudzu root, wash the kudzu powder out and precipitate, and then go to the old village to visit the newborn.

Many beauties learned that Huang Su'e gave birth to a daughter, and she was a little envious of this, she couldn't help but say: "My daughter is also very good, you see how cute Xiao Yuanyuan is!" ”

Gao Mingcheng glanced at her and saw that she was a little moved, as if she wanted to have a daughter in the next child, but Gao Mingcheng didn't say anything, if it was the same as the previous life, the next child of many beauties would have to be a son, and it would be an unconscious son!

Of course, if something happens and he really gives birth to a daughter, he will be very happy.

Gao Mingcheng does things quickly and well, he can accurately control the strength of grinding kudzu, grinding up and down, very rhythmic, and grinding for more than half an hour before grinding the kudzu that was dug back yesterday.

When Gao Mingcheng got up, he couldn't help but stretch his waist and loosen his muscles and muscles, the kudzu that he dug up yesterday, after washing off the mud on the outside, was more than 100 catties, and it was grinding into a paste all of a sudden, which was quite tiring.

It is better for later generations, in later generations, they have a machine to crush kudzu, and the people in the village go into the mountains to dig kudzu, wash it, and bring it to the town, and spend a little money to let the workshop crush it with a machine, but in a few minutes, you can bring the kudzu paste back, and after bringing it back, just wash the powder and filter the precipitation.

Many Mei said: "Mingcheng, you fetch water, I'll wash the powder." ”

"Okay." Gao Mingcheng responded, took out a bucket tied with a rope, threw it into the well, and when he brought it up again, it was full of buckets of well water.

In an uproar, a bucket of well water was poured into the big basin, many beautiful sleeves had been rolled up, and a pair of hands kept stirring in the basin.

Taking advantage of a lot of beauty washing powder, Gao Mingcheng took the bags and basins for filtration.

Next, many beauties opened the bag, and Gao Mingcheng was responsible for pouring the kudzu dregs and arrowroot powder in the basin into the bag, and then squeezing the water in the bag dry.

The husband and wife work together, they need to work skillfully, a lot of beauty to do, and work that requires strength.

"Alright, it's almost washed out." Looking at a large basin full of milky white water, Gao Mingcheng looked down at the bag again, and the kudzu scum in it was all fiber, and there was no trace of starch.

The slag after the sweet potato is ground and washed and filtered, and it can also be eaten by pigs, this kudzu slag is all coarse fiber, and pigs don't like to eat it!

But after drying, it can be burned on fire, or it can be composted directly.

The family has a large orchard and several acres of vegetables, and fertilizer is needed everywhere. As the saying goes, a crop depends on fertilizer.

Without fertilizer, it is not possible to grow vegetables at all.

Therefore, Gao Mingcheng made two compostes, one is at the foot of Xiaofu Mountain, next to the chicken coop, Chen Dasong cleaned out the chicken manure in the chicken coop, and poured it into the compost point to rot, and the chicken manure after the rot can be directly fertilized to the fruit trees, so that the fruit tastes good.

Another composting point, that is, in the field near the home, domestic fertilizer, as well as sheep and cow dung, is piled up there to ferment, and after fermentation, you can fertilize the vegetable field nearby.

But even so, the annual fertilizer is not enough, and it is necessary to buy fertilizer and farm fertilizer.

Gao Mingcheng entered the house and changed into clean clothes, and said to many beauties: "Let's go to the old village for a walk, come back for a few days, and haven't gone over there to take a look." ”

"Okay." Many Mei carried a bamboo basket, and the contents of the bamboo basket were gifts for sister-in-law Huang Su'e, and they did not prepare in advance, so they could only give whatever they had at home.

Before Gao Mingcheng bought a lot of sugar in order to feed sugar water to honey, so he wrapped two catties of white sugar, and took two catties of shelled peanuts, which Zhang Chengyuan planted for their family.

In addition to these two, I took another piece of wind-blown meat, and this wind-blown meat also had about two catties.

Because the gift pays attention to pairs, I took two more grapefruits, so it looks full, which is very good.

"I'll mention it." Gao Mingcheng picked up Xiao Xuxu, reached out and took the basket, and then the husband and wife walked towards the old village.

When approaching the old village, there were more people working in the fields, and those people saw Gao Mingcheng holding his son and carrying a basket, while many beauties walked empty-handed, the men all joked about Gao Mingcheng, and the women were somewhat envious of many beauties.

"Mingcheng, your eldest brother gave birth to another daughter, when will you and Tomei have a second child?" Someone with good deeds said loudly.

Gao Mingcheng was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Follow the fate." ”

"That's, you already have a son anyway!"

In the midst of gossip, the husband and wife walked along a path into the village where the old village was concentrated.

As a big house, Gao Yuanjian's home is located in the center of the old village, and the location is not bad.

However, this time they are going to the house of the eldest brother Gao Mingpeng, his house is a little bit off, but there are people living in the front and back, and it is a very lively place.

Many of the places where Mei used to live, next to Chen Dasong's family, and then married Gao Mingcheng, when he lived in Niuweiling, there was no one left and right.

Now that she has come to the old village, she is a little envious and a little uncomfortable.

They didn't come early, because Huang Su'e's mother's family in the next village had already come. I think it was Gao Mingpeng who rode a bicycle to his father-in-law to report the news, and then came to Niuweiling to report the news.

Because my mother's family is there, the room is quite lively, and everyone's voices gather together and become a noisy sound.

Gao Mingcheng handed the things in his hand to Gao Mingpeng, and then didn't enter the house at all, he stood in the courtyard and talked to people, while many beauties went into the house to take a look at the mother and child.

Huang Su'e is in a very good state, she was taken care of by Luo Xiaohua during pregnancy, and she was a second child, and she gave birth smoothly, and she didn't suffer any sin.

The child is also white and delicate, wrapped in swaddling clothes, placed next to Huang Su'e, and is sleeping.

Huang Su'e's mother and sister were talking to her, so many beauties just glanced at her and walked out of the room, disturbing them without disturbing them.

Gao Mingcheng gave a gift, and naturally he was left for dinner, he talked to the men, and talked nonsense from all over the world, but many of them were not familiar with the Huang family, so they couldn't talk, so they just went to help Luo Xiaohua with things.

At noon today, two large tables of food were to be brought out, so Luo Xiaohua was busy in the kitchen early in the morning, which can be described as very busy.

Seeing many beauties come in to help wash the vegetables, she felt a little relieved.

She woke up in the middle of the night, delivered Huang Su'e, and then had to scrub the newborn's body, dress, change diapers, etc., which was really not idle for a moment.

"Wash the kelp in the basin!" Luo Xiaohua pointed to a basin and said, inside, there was some dried kelp soaked.

These dried kelp were brought back by Gao Mingwan, a small piece of dried kelp, and when it was soaked, it was a large piece.

It's very troublesome to wash the kelp, because there is a lot of fine sand and slime on the kelp, and there are some dirty things, which can't be washed with your hands, so you have to use a brush to brush it.

Many Mei had washed dried kelp, but she had experience, so she didn't say a word, picked up the brush and started brushing, waiting for both sides of the kelp to be cleaned, and then went through the water again.

After washing the kelp, the cabbage and radish were washed.

And Luo Xiaohua, who had his hands free, took the opportunity to burn the fire and wash the pot and prepare to stir-fry.

In this small kitchen, there is no special place to cut vegetables, usually put the cutting board on the edge of the stove, when stir-frying, first put oil, then cut vegetables, and wait for the oil to be hot, then use a kitchen knife to sweep the vegetables into the big iron pot and stir-fry, so that it is much faster.

Soon, fried peanuts, pork fried radish, chili fried kelp shreds, stir-fried cabbage and other dishes will come out of the pot one after another.

The dish is not too good, but today is not a market day, you can't buy meat if you want to, this fried radish meat, or a few days ago bought for backup, salted, can be kept for several days.

In addition to these dishes, there is also an old hen stewed in the small pot, but this is not for the guests, but for the mothers!

With a lot of help, Luo Xiaohua finally prepared the two tables of meals at noon, and then sat down to eat.

During the meal, Gao Mingcheng noticed that many beautiful hands were red from the cold, and couldn't help but say, "We should come later." ”

He didn't know that the Huang family came so early, so he didn't expect the family to leave him for dinner, so he wanted to send something, and after walking through the motions, he went to Grandma Xi's place to sit.

Who knew that the Huang family was here, there were guests, and his father and eldest brother left him for dinner, and he couldn't refuse.

As a result, many of the beauties went to the kitchen to help, and their frozen hands turned red.

Many Mei glanced at him with a smile, and with his words, her heart was warm.

She also whispered, "Then we'll come back later next time." ”

Both husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, understanding what each other meant.

The others didn't know what they were talking about, but looking at their expressions, they knew that the relationship between the two was very good.

After eating, Gao Mingcheng excused himself that there was still work to be done at home, so he left with his wife and children first.

I have come to the old village, so naturally I have to go to Grandma's house to sit down, and after chatting for a while, I took six large pieces of bitter oak tofu from Grandma's house.

This bitter tofu can be soaked in water and will not spoil for several days.

But many beauties are used to living a good life with Gao Mingcheng, and they are no longer used to eating the same dishes at once, so they said: "So many bitter tofu, I'll give my second sister a piece." ”

Gao Mingcheng didn't think about it, and nodded directly: "Okay." ”

There are six large pieces of bitter tofu in this basket, and each piece must have more than one catty, which is enough to fry a plate.

So when passing by many jade homes, many beauties gave a piece of jade to many jades.

A lot of jade got something, but it was quite happy, saying that it was going to the field to pull a little garlic seedlings, and use garlic seedlings to fry bitter oak tofu to be fragrant.

Duo Mei just smiled, and didn't say that she had to put more oil to make it fragrant.

Her second sister cooks late, stir-fry vegetables are also stingy, reluctant to put oil, many dishes are boiled directly, there is no dish color and taste.

There was indeed something to do at home, so the two sisters didn't talk much, and when Duomei returned home, Gao Mingcheng had already put Xiao Xuxu, who was asleep on the way, into the room to sleep.

And the hall at home is full of large and small pots, and fortunately, their family has many pots and buckets, so they can make so many arrowroot powder at one time.

The arrowroot powder made yesterday morning has been washed twice, and now it is washed again, and after precipitation, it can be taken out and dried.

As soon as he was doing something here, Chen Dasong came to look for him over there.

In the past few days, Chen Dasong has been taking his son Chen Duofu to paint the fruit trees white in the mountains.

"Mingcheng, the lime in the shed has run out, and I can't continue to work today." Chen Dasong said.

Gao Mingcheng glanced at the time, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, but it was too late to run, so he said, "That's okay, I'll buy it now." ”

Quicklime has to be bought in town, and if you drive a tractor, it will take more than half an hour, and it will take more than an hour to go back and forth.

Just do it, Gao Mingcheng didn't hesitate, and after talking to many beauties, he drove the tractor out.

Dressed in a thick cotton coat, a rabbit fur hat and gloves, he braved the cold winter winds and headed towards the town.

When he arrived in the town, he didn't know how much quicklime he needed for the orchards, so he simply got as much as possible.

Anyway, the quicklime that is not used can also be used to disinfect the chicken coop and the pond.

Pond fish farming, if you raise more, the fish will also get sick, so it is best to use quicklime to disinfect the fish after the pond is fished out at the end of each year, so that the fish will not be easy to get sick in the coming year.

When I was buying quicklime, I saw a bakery nearby, and the name of the shop said Zixi Bread.

Seeing the words Zixi bread, Gao Mingcheng was stunned.

In later generations, the county could often see the signboard of Zixi bread, but he didn't know that Zixi bread would be opened here this year.

When it comes to Zixi bread, it also has a history, it was in 87 years, two veterans took the lead in opening the first bakery of Zixi people in Yingtan.

After that, they helped their relatives and neighbors, and the scale became bigger and bigger, and the taste of Zixi bread was indeed good.

However, Gao Mingcheng's impression of Zixi is still Dajue Mountain.

The rafting of Dajue Mountain is also quite famous in this area.

Gao Mingcheng walked into the store, bought several kinds of bread sold in the store, and ate porridge every morning, and occasionally changed the taste.

After buying all the things, he drove the tractor again, and returned to Gaojia Village before it was completely dark.

In the western sky, the setting sun is round, emitting an orange-red light, hanging low in the air, like a red lantern on the horizon.

The twilight deepened, and when the sun had completely fallen and hidden, it was dark, and the day passed.

After returning home, Gao Mingcheng was not idle, and while there was still light, he hurriedly moved all the quicklime to the shed and stacked it, and took a look at the beehives by the way.

But by this time the bees had already taken refuge in the hives to rest.

The activity of bees is affected by light, so in areas with long sunshine, bees will produce more honey. (End of chapter)
