At this time, Gao Mingcheng had returned to Grandma Xi's house, took a portion of the honeycomb and went out.

He didn't know that an earthquake was about to happen in his house.

Of course, he had expected this earthquake a long time ago and had experienced it in his previous life, but now it was earlier.

Gao Mingcheng came to Gao Shouwang's house with a bowl of honeycomb. Before he entered, he smelled a strong smell of meat.

Gao Mingcheng swallowed his saliva reflexively and was instinctively aroused.

In his previous life, he ate delicious food, drank spicy food, and had meat every meal, but he no longer had any special feeling for meat. But now he is particularly greedy because of the lack of supplies.

He felt that he could eat an entire rabbit by himself!

Licking the corner of his mouth, he decided that next time he caught prey, he would have to fight back the Yaji first!

As soon as we entered the door, the smell of meat became even stronger.

In addition to Gao Shouwang, there are also his father and his brother in the house. Gao Shouwang is the youngest son. His mother is gone, and his father lives with his brother.

Nowadays, it is rare for the family to drink and eat meat, so he called his father and brother over.

A rabbit was made into spicy rabbit, and a pheasant was stewed with mushrooms after removing its feathers and internal organs. In addition to these two main dishes, there was also a plate of fried peppers, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a plate of fried eggplants.

"Mingcheng is here, come and sit down!" Gao Shouwang greeted him and asked Gao Mingcheng to sit down.

Gao Mingcheng took out the hive he brought and said it was for him.

After getting a bowl of honeycomb, the smile on Gao Shouwang's face became more obvious.

"Feixia, please free up this bowl, and make a bowl of honey water for everyone to drink!" Gao Shouwang shouted loudly, and his wife Dong Feixia was also very considerate, and started to work in a gentle and virtuous manner.

Speaking of Dong Feixia, she is also very famous in the village because she is the only tailor in the village.

If people in the village want to make clothes, they will go to the town to buy cloth and let Dong Feixia make it.

Most of the clothes for Gao Mingcheng and his family were made by Dong Feixia.

But until today, he didn't know that Dong Feixia not only made good clothes, but also had good cooking skills.

Of course, this has something to do with her willingness to add condiments.

That night, Gao Mingcheng was half drunk, ate a lot of meat, and chatted happily with others.

Gao Shouwang and his father were of the same age. Gao Shouwang's brother and Gao Shouwang's father who were present were much older than Gao Mingcheng. However, he himself had a wide circle of friends and was reborn, so the four of them talked while eating and drinking. While talking, the conversation turned out to be very enjoyable.

After leaving Gao Shouwang's house, the village had returned to silence, and most people were already getting ready to go to bed.

There is no entertainment at the moment, and there are things to do during the day, so everyone goes to bed early at night.

Gao Mingcheng walked on the path in the village in the dark. The moon was shy tonight and hid without a trace. But it's not completely dark, and you can still vaguely see the outlines of some houses and buildings.

When he returned to Grandma Xin's house, the door to his house was ajar, leaving the door open for him.

Entering the yard, I saw that the room where the young lady lived was completely dark. She must have gone to sleep. Only the light in the tall room was still on.

He walked lightly and entered Gao Zhuang's room first. Gao Zhuang was not asleep yet and was still listening to the radio, but the volume was not loud.

"Brother Mingcheng, the room has been packed for you, the one next to me! Tell me how good it is for you and me to sleep together, and we can also listen to the radio together." Gao Zhuang looked a little excited when he saw Gao Mingcheng coming back.

He has no biological brothers, and his parents died early. He only depends on his grandmother. To him, Gao Mingcheng is just like his biological brother.

When he was a child, he was thin and weak and was often bullied by the children in the same village. It was Gao Mingcheng who helped him and protected him several times. From then on, he has been following Gao Mingcheng.

Since following Gao Mingcheng, other children no longer dare to bully him.

Otherwise, if you beat him today, Gao Mingcheng will help him beat him back tomorrow.

For this reason, Grandma Xi was also very kind to Gao Mingcheng, almost treating him as half a grandson.

Gao Mingcheng said that he would stay at Grandma Xi's house recently, so Grandma Xi happily made his bed.

Gao Mingcheng glanced at Gao Zhuang and said rudely: "I think you snore!"

Although he is tall and thin, he snores loudly and grinds his teeth!

"Have you taken a shower? I'm going to take a shower first, I'm all sweaty."

Gao Zhuang said, "I've already taken a shower. I'll listen to the story for a while and then fall asleep."

Now that Gao Zhuang had taken a bath, Gao Mingcheng ignored him. He took a change of clothes from the room next door, and carefully put the two pages of gold foil paper in his trouser pocket under the pillow and hid them.

At this time, there is no running water in their village. The water in the fields depends on the reservoir, and the domestic water at home depends on the well.

There are three public wells in the village, and there are also several wells dug by others. However, Gao Mingcheng's family does not have a well, and neither does Gao Zhuang's family, so they all have to go to the public wells to fetch water.

Because of this, most of the men, women, and children in their village are accustomed to bathing in the reservoir. In the west reservoir, there is a bay called Women's Bay. Due to the terrain, there are dense bushes on three sides, so the water in the village Women are used to bathing there.

The men, on the other hand, would go to another reservoir to take a bath.

Gao Mingcheng ran to the reservoir, took off his clothes in a few moments, and then jumped into the water, making a "pop" sound and splashing water.

He took a dip in the water first and then washed himself.

The lingering alcoholism in his body dissipated when the cold water hit him.

He floated on his back in the water, looking at the sky.

The background is dark blue, dotted with stars, and occasionally floating clouds, which are unpredictable.

The sky in 1986 was so beautiful!

Gao Mingcheng sighed with emotion, walked from the water to the shore, wet the dirty clothes he had taken off before, rubbed them casually a few times, considered them washed, then wrung them dry and threw them on the shrubs on the shore.

Then he put on clean clothes, carried the washed dirty clothes, and walked to Grandma Xin's house.

After entering the yard, he casually hung the wet clothes on the bamboo pole for drying clothes, and then closed the door from the inside.

"I'm going to sleep first." Gao Mingcheng whispered as he passed by Gao Zhuang's house.

"Oh, I'll go to bed later." A tall and strong voice came from the house, and at the same time there was a voice from the radio.

Gao Mingcheng didn't listen carefully. He was not interested in the stories on the radio now. He just wanted to study the gold foil paper quietly alone.

Back in his room, Gao Mingcheng lit the kerosene lamp with a match.

This kerosene lamp was also placed here by Grandma Xi before. Seeing this kerosene lamp, Gao Mingcheng realized why Grandma Xi's room was dark.

This was because she gave him the kerosene lamp she used.

A warm current welled up from the bottom of my heart, and my limbs and bones felt very warm.
