Gao Mingcheng gave his parents a slap in the face. He originally thought that his mother would chase him to Grandma Xi's house to cause trouble for him, but who knew that the whole day would be uneventful.
His dad had been a team captain and was indeed fair and just when doing things outside, so he is now the deputy director of the village committee. His dad has a good face, so even if he makes his dad angry, he can at most teach him a lesson at home. , will not bring matters to outsiders.
It's hard to say his mother. Sometimes when his temper comes, he just ignores things.
Gao Mingcheng was surprised as to why his mother didn't come to him, but the rest of the Gao family knew the reason.
When Luo Xiaohua was about to chase her out, Grandma Gao called out to her.
Grandma Gao is old and in poor health, so she rarely does anything and doesn't worry much about family matters. When she has free time, she goes to the fields or chats with people to pass the time.
Among the four grandchildren, she also favored her eldest grandson the most, followed by her younger grandson Gao Mingli, and thirdly her only granddaughter Gao Shufang.
She doesn't care much about the two middle grandchildren. It's not that she doesn't like them, but she doesn't have enough energy to take care of so many children.
"Xiaohua, you didn't have parents back then, and you came all the way to our village begging for food. I saw that you were pitiful, so I gave you a bowl of rice. Later, Yuan Yuan thought you were okay and married you. I didn't dislike you at that time. Born, you now despise many beautiful family backgrounds." Grandma Gao had a harmonious personality, but now her face was full of seriousness.
"Last time you went to Duomei to make trouble, I didn't agree with it, but I couldn't stop you. You hurt Ming Cheng's heart, didn't you know?"
Hearing Grandma Gao mention her origin, Luo Xiaohua had an embarrassed look on her face, but she refused to admit defeat and defended: "But I still have a brother!"
"Yes, your brother is a son-in-law in a neighboring village, and the girl's foot is still lame!" Grandma Gao mercilessly exposed Luo Xiaohua's fig leaf.
What good options can there be for the two brothers and sisters who have come here to beg for food?
Women can get married, but if men want to stay, they can only marry into their wives.
Luo Xiaohua opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Grandma Gao softened her expression and said, "I know you don't like Duo Mei. You want Mingcheng to marry a better wife so that you can help him. But Mingcheng is a stubborn person. When he was a child, his father beat him and he bit him. If you don’t give him food if he clenches his teeth and doesn’t cry, he won’t be able to say nice words and beg for mercy, and he won’t steal anything to eat.”
"I remember one time, he didn't know what mistake he had made, and Yuan Yuan wanted to hit him. He immediately climbed up a tree and stayed in the tree for a whole day. Later Yuan Yuan asked him not to hit him, but he refused. Come down, or wait until you are all gone before he comes down and runs away."
"He is very stubborn. Don't scold him anymore, and don't scold him Yuan Yuan. Just treat it as if the family has separated. If he lives a good life, that's fine. If he doesn't, you parents can't in spite of!"
What Grandma Gao said was reasonable and reasonable. But Gao Yuanyuan was drunk and couldn't listen. He sneered and said, "I don't care if he is not doing well, let him beg for food!"
When Luo Xiaohua heard the word begging, a trace of disgust flashed across his face.
A long time has passed, so long that she has almost forgotten the time when she was begging for food.
There were some meat dishes on the table, but when everyone ate them, they always felt that they were lacking some flavor. Gao Mingwan lowered his head and hid his thoughts.
The second brother only wanted one acre of land and nothing else when he separated, which made him a little happy, but at the same time a little uneasy.
He glanced at his parents secretly, wondering what kind of treatment he would get when he got married.
He turned his head and looked at several other houses. This house had four rooms in total. If the second brother had listened to his family, he would definitely move here when he got married.
but now……
No one came to trouble him, and Gao Mingcheng was happy and at ease.
According to his plan, he went into the mountains to collect the wool of bees - cutting the hives.
The last time he sold honey, he bought bottles, one-pound and two-pound bottles, so that it would be easier to sell after filling.
In addition to making honey, he also hunts. He usually hunts less, but when he goes to the market, he hunts a little more and sells it at the old market in Junling. After going back and forth, his reputation for hunting has spread to the surrounding villages.
However, he has not been to the county seat for a while. Although he is a fast runner, it is not easy to go to the county seat. It takes a lot of time, so he is not willing to run back and forth frequently unless necessary.
Half a month passed in a flash. During this half month, he was either making things in the mountains or reading some martial arts novels that Gao Yue lent him in his spare time.
When he brought the book back, he was naturally not the only one to read it. Gao Zhuang was the first to discover it and fall in love with it. After reading it, he became addicted!
Although the storytelling of "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" is nice to listen to, he can only listen to it for half an hour a day, but as for the book, he can read it all day long!
Grandma Xi felt sorry for her grandson. When she saw that he was fascinated by reading, she couldn't bear to ask him to do things, so she just let him read. Moreover, Grandma Xi didn't understand the difference between martial arts novels and serious books, but she just saw her grandson reading so seriously. She was happy from the bottom of her heart.
When Gao Mingcheng saw this, of course he wouldn't say anything.
He chose a novel by Jin Yong and lent it to Duo Mei to read. Jin Yong's book was more serious than Gu Long's book. Gu Long's book had some erotic descriptions, so Gao Mingcheng thought that Duo Mei could not be exposed to it for the time being.
Well, we can take a look after marriage!
On the afternoon of September 20th, it rained. Fortunately, the rain was not heavy and it cleared up the next day.
Gao Mingcheng wanders in the mountains every day, often observing the growth of medicinal materials. At this time, Ganoderma lucidum and Poria cocos are ready to be harvested.
In addition to these two medicinal materials, there are other medicinal materials in the mountains, such as gardenia, vitex, fangji, etc. These are all medicinal materials harvested in autumn. After harvesting, they only need simple processing.
A person's manpower is limited. Even if he can harvest all the Ganoderma lucidum and Poria cocos in the mountains, he cannot harvest all other medicinal materials.
If you want to go to the medicine fair to trade, you have to buy more goods, otherwise you won't make enough money in one trip.
Therefore, he had already thought about it. Medicinal materials such as gardenia can be found everywhere on low hills. He could just ask the villagers to collect them for him, and then he would pay for them.
He has more than a thousand yuan on him, which is enough to serve as capital.
When the time was almost up, Gao Mingcheng told the villagers to pick the medicinal materials, and he would pay to buy them. In order to ensure the quality, he collected fresh medicinal materials and then concocted them himself.
After these words were released, followers gathered.
Every morning, there are people picking medicinal materials in the mountains, and some people even get into conflicts over this, and almost get into fights.
Gao Mingcheng naturally didn't care about these personal grudges. He only paid for the goods. He asked Gao Zhuang to stay at home every day. As long as someone came to sell, he would weigh the goods and pay them.
Naturally, he couldn't waste his time on purchasing medicinal materials, but started picking Ganoderma lucidum and Poria cocos all over the mountain.
In fact, he doesn't know how much these two medicinal materials cost now, but he feels that these two medicinal materials should be more valuable. Of course, he has to buy valuable things by himself!
