When Gao Mingcheng watched Aunt Liu peel peas, Aunt Liu offered to send some pea pods to Gao Mingcheng.

However, Gao Mingcheng remembered that Zhang Chengyuan also planted a small piece of peas for him, and he should be able to pick pea pods at this time, so he politely declined.

The land in his family is all planted by Zhang Chengyuan, and his only requirement is that there are many types of vegetables to meet the needs of his family.

When the sun was not so hot, Gao Mingcheng and the three fathers and sons of the Chen family walked towards Xiaofushan.

Chen Duofu is mainly responsible for taking care of the beehives, this job is not very tiring, that is, chasing the flowering period, moving the beehives, and shaking honey is more tiring, but at this time, Chen Dasong and Chen Duoxi will also help to do things together.

And Chen Duofu usually takes care of the chicken coop and the fruit trees in the mountains.

This time, Chen Duofu went to Xiaofushan with him, just to prepare to move the beehives placed in the orange grove.

From April to May, orange blossoms bloom, and orange blossoms are also nectar source flowers, and the citrus honey produced is sweet and slightly sour, with a citrus fragrance and good quality.

Therefore, when the orange blossoms bloomed, Chen Duofu brought ten boxes of bees over and placed them on the hillside.

Now that the orange blossoms were withering, he was ready to move the hives away.

Gao Mingcheng saw that the orange blossom was indeed about to wither, but the grapefruit blossom next to it had just bloomed, so he asked Chen Duofu to move half of the beehive first, and the remaining half of the beehive was still placed here, and then moved away when the grapefruit blossom withered.

"Okay." Chen Duofu responded, but he was not in a hurry to move away now, because he would not be able to move the hive until the evening, when the bees who had gone out to collect honey returned to the nest.

Otherwise, when the bees fly back, they will find that their home is gone!

Kofuyama is quite large, and until now, all the fruit trees have not been fully fertilized.

Gao Mingcheng looked at it and said to Chen Dasong: "How many places have not been fertilized?" If you can't get busy, call a few people from the village to help. ”

Fertilization at the flowering and fruiting stage is very important and will directly affect the fruit-bearing rate.

Chen Dasong calculated for a moment and said: "There is not much, then tomorrow I will call two people to help, everyone will work together, and it will be done in one day." ”

"Yes." Gao Mingcheng nodded in agreement, and asked him to ask a few temporary workers to do things when he couldn't be busy in the future.

After talking about Xiaofushan, Gao Mingcheng said again: "Now I give you the tractor, I may only come back for a long time in the future, and there are more eggs saved at home, so you will send someone to drive me to the county." ”

The last time Xiao Xuxu was a drunk, Gao Mingcheng took Chen Dasong to drink, so he knew the address of the clothing store.

Chen Dasong nodded, indicating that he understood.

Spring and autumn are the time when chickens love to lay eggs, and now there are about 130 chickens in the chicken coop, of which 40 chickens were hatched this spring.

Gao Mingcheng doesn't plan to raise too many chickens, if there are too many chickens, he has to feed more food to be full, and the person in charge of feeding the chickens will be busy.

He opened the barbed wire fence and walked into the chicken coop.

The position of the chicken coop against the wall made a row of nests, all of which are bamboo baskets made of bamboo strips, and some straw is piled in them, and when the chickens want to lay eggs, they will lie here to lay eggs.

Now in these bamboo baskets, each basket has a few eggs, more than three or four, and less than one or two.

Chen Dasong took Chen Duofu to fertilize the fruit trees, Chen Duoxi was a little stronger, and followed behind Gao Mingcheng, ready to help pick up the eggs.

Chen Duoxi said: "Usually I pick it up once in the morning and once in the evening, when there are more every day, there can be a hundred, and when there are less, there are eighty or ninety. Now there are seven or eight hundred eggs in the house. ”

Eggs are easy to spoil in summer, so Gao Mingcheng said: "In the future, there are five hundred eggs, you will send them to the county, and if there are any edible vegetables in my field, I will also bring them together." ”

Chen Duoxi smiled and said, "Okay! ”

He saw that there was a lot of chicken manure in the chicken coop, so he asked Gao Mingcheng to pick up the eggs, picked up the broom himself, and prepared to clean up the chicken manure.

After the chicken manure was swept away, Chen Duoxi brought another bag, and he dumped the bag and poured out some of the rice husks.

He spread these husks in a corner for the chickens to rest.

When rice is scooped into rice, there will be three products, one is the outermost rice husk, which cannot be eaten, and can only be used for fire or bedding.

After removing the husk of the rice and continuing to lick the rice, rice bran will be produced, and when the rice bran is separated, it will be white rice.

Of course, the current rice technology is average, unlike the rice sold in the stores of later generations, the grains are white and crystalline, as if they have been polished, and they look good, but they have no nutritional value.

But one thing to say, the taste of that kind of rice grain is really good.

Gao Mingcheng watched Chen Duoxi do things, and felt that although the young man was young, he was still quite quick to do things.

Just now, he picked up more than 50 eggs, which were first placed in the miscellaneous room next to the chicken coop, which was mainly stacked with some straw, rice husks and fodder.

Gao Mingcheng walked out of the chicken coop, went up the slope, and then walked towards the valley near Niuweiling, in a more shady position, it was the bayberry forest.

The current bayberry trees are not big, but the spacing is quite wide, because Gao Mingcheng knows that the age of the bayberry tree is high, and it will grow bigger and bigger, so he will open the spacing in advance, and after twenty or thirty years, these bayberry trees will grow into towering trees.

These Dongkui bayberry grows well, with green leaves like shade, and the small green bayberry is hidden among the lush leaves, which can be easily overlooked when you don't look closely.

It's only mid-May, and it won't be until the end of June to the beginning of July that Dongkui bayberry can ripen one after another.

Gao Mingcheng looked at this year's fruit hanging rate, and then took a shot to pick some of the fruits that were too dense.

All afternoon, he patrolled Xiaofushan, either to thin the fruit, or to check if there were any diseased branches, to see if he wanted to buy medicine for treatment, or to cut it directly.

On their side, in the first half of the year, the wind and rain were basically smooth, and if they were unlucky in the second half of the year, they would encounter drought.

Seeing that most of the fruit trees were fine, Gao Mingcheng was a lot more relieved.

He saw that there was still a large area of barren land in the northeast corner of Kotoyama, and he planned to use it to grow oranges.

It's mid-May, so he can't grow oranges, so he decided to buy a batch of orange seedlings in September.

When the time comes, the entire Xiaofu Mountain will be planted with fruit trees.

There are not too many types of these fruit trees, but there are quite a few, all of which are suitable for their local climate and soil.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, although the sky was still bright, Gao Mingcheng was ready to return to the county seat.

He loaded eggs, fish, and other things into the car, and went to the field to get some vegetables, and picked a basket of pea pods, and a basket of cucumbers.

As for cowpeas, loofahs, eggplants, peppers and other vegetables, they have just bloomed at this time, and it will take ten days and a half months before they bear fruit, and when Gao Mingcheng comes back next time, they should be able to harvest.

"I'm back in the county, if you have any urgent matters here, either go to Xing'anling and call me, or drive to the county to find me." Gao Mingcheng said to Chen Duoxi beside him, and then he was ready to get in the car.

Chen Duoxi stood next to the car, looking at the brand-new car with envy on his face, he waved his hand at Gao Mingcheng, and said obediently: "Okay! ”

As soon as Gao Mingcheng's car left, Zhang Chengyuan came back with a group of goats from the reservoir.

The water and grass on the other side of the reservoir are more abundant, Zhang Chengyuan often goes there to graze sheep, and there are also people behind Gaojia Village who have raised sheep, but they don't raise many of them, and they can't raise them for long, because they find it difficult to manage goats.

Goats are omnivores, not to mention the vegetables grown in the field, even the leaves, and they eat them correctly!

If you don't spend enough time taking care of your goats, the naughty goats will soon surprise you – every now and then someone will come to your door and say that your goat has eaten his food and gnawed on his tree!

This kind of trivial matter often happens in small mountain villages.

The tired birds have returned to their nests, but the movement of the cars has caused them to spread their wings and fly away, and they will not return to their nests until the neighborhood is quiet again.

The car stopped by the pond in the old village.

It's quite popular, and many people gossip here, some are women squatting by the pond to wash vegetables, some are strong men returning from the fields with hoes, and many old people are old.

They sat on stone stumps or tree stumps, and naughty children crawled through the crowd.

Gao Shufang and Lou Xinyu were also in the crowd, talking and laughing with people.

Gao Mingcheng took a closer look and found that Grandma Xi was also here with Xiao Xuxu and Xiao Yuanyuan, and Grandma Gao was also sitting on a tree stump, listening to others with a smile on her face.

The arrival of the car instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Gao Mingcheng got out of the car, greeted people with a generous attitude, and called Grandma Gao and Grandma Xi.

"Daddy!" Xiao Xuxu was playing well with Xiao Yuanyuan, but when he saw Gao Mingcheng, he immediately abandoned the children who were playing with him and ran towards Gao Mingcheng.

"Hey! Good son! Gao Mingcheng smiled and bent down and picked up Xiao Xuxu.

Xiao Yuanyuan didn't see outside, and immediately followed Xiao Xuxu's example, ran towards Gao Mingcheng, and called Uncle sweetly in his mouth.

"Hey, hello Madoka." Gao Mingcheng bent down again and picked up Xiao Yuanyuan with one hand, so he held a child in one hand, causing the two children to laugh.

Gao Shufang saw that the second brother was coming, and she also knew that it was time to go back to the county.

She walked up to Grandma Gao and said softly, "Grandma, I'm leaving, can you sit here for a while, or will I help you go home first?" ”

Grandma Gao's legs and feet are inconvenient, and her memory is getting worse and worse, so Gao Shufang is not worried that she will go back alone.

Grandma Gao naturally remembers Gao Shufang now, she looked at Gao Shufang with some reluctance, but still said with a smile: "You go back, wait for me to walk back by myself." ”

Gao Shufang was still a little hesitant, and at this time, a person who lived next to Gao Mingpeng spoke: "Shufang, you can leave with confidence, and I will help your grandmother go back later." ”

After hearing this, Gao Shufang was completely relieved and thanked her again.

"Hehe, your juniors are filial, which is the blessing of the elderly, go to the county to make more money, you don't have to worry about it at home." An uncle who is also a big house said this, and the others echoed it.

In an era when everyone wants to make money, it is a great thing that children and younger generations can make money.

After greeting everyone, Gao Mingcheng took Xiao Xuxu, Gao Shufang and Lou Xinyu into the car and prepared to return to the county.

When he came, in order to take care of the speed of the tractor, Gao Mingcheng drove slowly, and now when he goes back, he can drive faster, so it took an hour to come, and when he went back, it only took forty minutes.

In this regard, Gao Shufang felt that it was very fast.

But Gao Mingcheng knew that after the construction of the national highway in 97, it would only take half an hour to drive back to the village!

When they got home, there was already a table of food waiting for them to eat.

Many beauties were counting money and settling accounts, but as a result, Xiao Xuxu got out of the car and threw himself on her, and many beauties couldn't continue to count the money.

She was not angry, put down the money and account books, and hugged and kissed her baby son first, but asked some words and induced Xiao Xuxu to tell her what happened today.

Xiao Xuxu said very hard, but his voice was not clear, and he said something with a beginning and no end, and Gao Shufang needed to supplement it in time.

For example, Xiao Xuxu said that he had eaten, and Gao Shufang added what he had eaten.

Xiao Xuxu said bad, rob me of something, Gao Shufang added that it was Gao Mingpeng's eldest son who robbed Xiao Xuxu of a stick in his hand.

Children like to scramble, and when the stick is placed on the ground and no one takes it, no one cares about it, and once someone takes it, others will want to grab it.

Xiao Xuxu squatted on the ground and picked up a stick to play, and after his cousin saw it, he took the stick away, which made Xiao Xuxu cry for a long time, Gao Shufang coaxed for a while, and took Xiao Xuxu to find a stick again, and Xiao Xuxu was happy.

After seeing that Xiao Xuxu and his eldest nephew couldn't play together, Gao Shufang sent Xiao Xuxu to Grandma Xi.

Lou Xinyu went back to the village today, and he went to work again to brush up his good feelings, and his trouser legs and shoes were full of mud at this time.

After dinner, Lou Xinyu was ready to go back to rest, but said, "Shufang, you can take a walk with me." ”

At this time, it was already dark outside, and Gao Mingcheng glanced at him and was about to refuse.

Lou Xinyu said again: "Wait a minute, I'll send Shufang back." ”

Gao Mingcheng shut up, okay, you've been staying together for a day, and you're really not tired, right?

When the two got out of the clothing store, they walked towards the family courtyard of the police station, in front of the family, Gao Shufang was more reserved, and did not hold hands with Lou Xinyu, but left the sight of her family, facing Lou Xinyu's outstretched hand, she thought twice and stretched out her hand.

The big hand holds the small hand, and the calloused fingers instantly become sensitive.

Gao Shufang's cheeks were flushed, and when she was about to say something, Lou Xinyu suddenly said, "Shufang, don't your parents like your second brother?" ”

Gao Shufang's heart chuckled, and she raised her eyes to look at Lou Xinyu.

Lou Xinyu was inquiring at first, and after seeing Gao Shufang's eyes, he immediately made sure that he was not wrong.

He said: "Your eldest brother's son is older, and he grabbed the stick in Xiao Xuxu's hand first, but I found that your parents prefer the eldest grandson, and they are quite average to Xiao Xuxu." ”

This big grandson and little grandson are all grandchildren!

Since the treatment is different, it must have something to do with his grandson and his father!

It's just that he has been in the village before, and there are many people, so Lou Xinyu didn't have a chance to ask Gao Shufang. (End of chapter)
