Today's dishes are pretty good, including a large bowl of muntjac soup, a large pot of loofah soup, a plate of stir-fried peppers, and a plate of steamed eggplants. Four dishes are placed on the table, which is quite sumptuous.
Gao Mingcheng picked up the vegetarian vegetables and didn't touch the yellow deer meat. He ate a lot of meat yesterday and today at noon, so he stopped eating the meat at home.
"Su'e, you're pregnant, drink more soup!" Luo Xiaohua affectionately gave Huang Su'e a full bowl of broth, and then gave another bowl to her mother-in-law and husband. The rest was shared by everyone. If you divide it, you can eat it cleanly.
Two pounds of meat sounds like a lot, but it doesn't taste like much, especially when there are many people.
"It's delicious! Second brother, when will you go to the mountains to hunt for muntjac again? Give me more meat then, this little meat is not enough!" Gao Mingwan finished the last sip of the soup with a look of unfulfilled satisfaction.
He looked at Gao Mingcheng eagerly, hoping that his second brother would get more meat.
But Gao Mingcheng didn't want to think about it. He still had to save money to buy a house and get married! He decided to sell all the prey he caught except what he ate.
"Well, if you get hit." He said vaguely, neither agreeing nor rejecting.
"Second brother, if we don't have deer meat, rabbits and pheasants will do just fine! I saw Gao Zhuang got a hare, you must be able to get it too, right? Gao Zhuang follows you all day long, you must have taught him! "
"Second brother, you are unreasonable. Why don't you teach your brother?" Gao Mingwan said with more and more enthusiasm, his expression looked aggrieved.
Even others looked at Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng was speechless in his heart. He learned how to make traps to catch rabbits in his previous life, so he really couldn't teach his brothers before!
But that’s all. Gao Zhuang has taught him, but it’s unjustifiable not to teach his own brothers.
Their village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Now the natural environment is good and there are many wild animals in the mountains. So he said: "I just learned the method of making condoms from someone recently. I tried it for two days and found that it is indeed effective. I am preparing I’m telling you, but you have to work on the railway every day, so you didn’t have time to tell me.”
Without talking nonsense, he immediately took some wire rope from the utility room, made a condom in slow motion in front of everyone, and told everyone where to put the condom, so that there was a high chance of catching it. rabbit.
Next, he made several more condoms until all the materials at home were used up.
"Brother, Mingwan, come with me and leave the condom here in Houshan today. You can take a look at it tomorrow morning."
Gao Mingcheng took his eldest brother and third brother to the nearby back mountain. This mountain is relatively low and close to the village. In fact, there are relatively few pheasants and rabbits.
Gao Mingcheng found a few suitable places and told them why he was looking for such a place. After placing the trap, he said: "There are few wild animals in the back mountains, so there may not be rabbits to trap. If you want to trap a rabbit, , we also have to go to Niuweiling and Xiaoyuan Mountain, but there are also many weasels in Xiaoyuan Mountain."
Gao Mingpeng and Gao Mingwan both listened carefully. There is little oil and water these days. Who doesn’t want to eat more meat?
After placing the trap, Gao Mingcheng wanted to leave, but was held back by Gao Mingpeng.
The three brothers returned home together.
This time, Gao Mingpeng took the initiative and talked about buying a house.
"Dad, Su'e is pregnant. When will you buy the house? After we buy the house, Su'e and I will move out, and the second child will have a place to live, so we won't have to live in someone else's house."
Gao Yuanyuan was smoking. He was smoking a homemade cigarette that he had made. The smoke smell was very strong and a little choking.
Hearing Gao Mingpeng's question, Gao Yuanyuan frowned instinctively.
He glanced at Gao Mingcheng and sighed.
Gao Mingcheng saw a hint of blame in his eyes and felt baffled.
Gao Yuanyuan took a long drag on his cigarette and then said: "I could have bought it this month, but once I buy a house, my family won't have much money. If the second brother wants to get married..."
Although the words were not finished, the meaning was expressed clearly.
After buying a house, the second child will have no money when he gets married.
If it's for the second child's wedding, there won't be enough money to buy a house.
When Huang Su'e heard this, she realized that this was what she was worried about, so she quickly and quietly pulled Gao Mingpeng's hand.
Gao Mingpeng immediately said: "The second child is only nineteen years old. Even if he gets married, he can't get a marriage certificate. It's better to wait until next year. Dad, our family has a large population. If we don't buy a house, we really can't live in it. Last time, my mother-in-law asked It’s about buying a house for our family.”
Gao Yuanyuan took another puff of cigarette and said nothing.
At this time Luo Xiaohua said: "Buy! Buy it this month!"
After saying that, she glared at Gao Mingcheng and said with a threatening tone: "If you dare to marry Duo Mei, my family won't give you a dime!"
She doesn't like Duo Mei, not only because of Duo Mei's family, but also because of Duo Mei's temper. She feels that if she brings Duo Mei into her family, she will definitely quarrel with herself.
Of all the fierce beauties, where can she like the gentle Huang Su'e?
The mother's attitude is clear, and the father is no longer silent. Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Gao Mingcheng, and his eyes showed the same meaning.
He said: "Okay, I will give the money to buy the house to the Gao Fu family tomorrow. Once the money is paid, the house will be ours. Then you can take the time to clean it up and choose a good day to move there."
After receiving Gao Yuan's accurate words, Gao Mingpeng and his wife immediately showed a satisfied smile.
This whole thing had nothing to do with Gao Mingcheng, and it even caused him to be glared at by his parents several times. After the matter was resolved, he didn't stay any longer and returned to Grandma Xi's house.
Before leaving, no one tried to keep him or asked for his opinion.
He felt like a tool man and a scapegoat today.
When I returned to Grandma Xini's house, the lights were on in the house, and the pear-shaped bulbs emitted a yellowish light, illuminating the small farmyard.
Gao Zhuang bought the light bulb from the cooperative early in the morning. The light emitted by one light bulb can hold up to two kerosene lamps.
"Brother Mingcheng, you're back! The rice is warming in the big iron pot in the kitchen. Go and eat it!" Gao Zhuang was resting on the recliner with his legs crossed. When he saw Gao Mingcheng coming over, he immediately became energetic.
Gao Mingcheng was stunned and said, "Didn't I tell you not to eat here today? Why did Grandma Xixi leave food for me?"
Gao Zhuang jumped to his feet and said: "My grandma said that you would not be full, so she specially left food for you. You go and eat it quickly. After eating, we will go to the reservoir to take a bath together."
"Let me tell you, someone was bitten by a snake just now while taking a bath in the reservoir!"
When he talked about snakes, Gao Zhuang's body couldn't help but tremble, and he said quickly: "I didn't even let my grandma go to the reservoir to take a bath today. I went to the well and brought her a bucket of water to wash at home!"
