When Gao Yue came to find him, Gao Mingcheng was digging the ground with a hoe.
He chose the homestead here. It was a bit remote, but there was a lot of wasteland around. As long as he was willing to cultivate it, it wouldn't be a problem to grow as many vegetables as he wanted.
"Gao Mingcheng!" Gao Yue got off his bicycle, put the bike aside, and walked towards Gao Mingcheng.
"Gao Yue? Why are you here? Is today a holiday?" The days were so leisurely, and there was no need to go to school or go to work. Gao Mingcheng didn't even know what day it was.
Gao Yue was wearing a black down jacket and a pair of sneakers, which was out of tune with the villagers.
"Of course it's a day off today, otherwise why would I come to the village?" Gao Yue glared at Gao Mingcheng angrily, then looked at the house being built not far away and said, "Is this the house you built? It doesn't look big!"
"It doesn't matter if it's big or not, as long as it's enough. Are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water." Gao Mingcheng went to the simple kitchen and poured Gao Yue a glass of water from a cup.
Gao Yue drank gurglingly. Although the weather was getting colder, he was still a little thirsty after riding all the way.
"Gao Mingcheng, my father asked me to come and tell you that you should go to the county when you have time. The person he introduced to you last time also wants to ask you something."
After drinking the water, Gao Yue made his purpose clear.
Gao Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered who the person Gao Yue was talking about was.
It's Su Tong, the director of the agricultural machinery factory who is about to go bankrupt!
Gao Mingcheng met Su Tong once, but that time he instilled the concept of joint venture into Su Tong.
Since then, he has been busy with village affairs and has not been to the county for almost a month.
But now Su Tong wants to find him, what will happen?
Gao Mingcheng was a little curious. Besides, Gao Guobing asked Gao Yue to come to the village to inform him, so he had to give him this face.
"Okay, it's late today. I'll go to the county tomorrow morning. Come, I'll show you my house!" Gao Mingcheng led Gao Yue around his new home.
In Gao Yue's eyes, this house was really simple, but because it was Gao Mingcheng's house, he was also very interested in it and looked at it with relish.
Then he looked up at the lush Oxtail Ridge.
Gao Yue, who had grown up in the village since childhood, was naturally familiar with Niuweiling, and had heard from his father that the ancient tomb was deep in the mountains of Niuweiling.
Gao Yue suddenly approached Gao Mingcheng and whispered: "Gao Mingcheng, my dad said he got a box cannon of good quality and asked you if you want it. If you want it, he will keep it for you. In addition, the bureau's warehouse also has There is a good-quality bird gun, which has been improved. It does not need to be ignited to detonate the gun, but uses lead bullets."
"When I go on winter vacation, you can take me hunting in the mountains! My dad said you are very good at hunting prey." Gao Yue's tone was full of expectation.
Gao Mingcheng did not refuse, but said: "Then please pay attention to me, I want to buy a better hunting dog. Without a hunting dog, hunting in the mountains will be much tiring, and there may not be any harvest at the end of the day."
Gao Yue also knew the role of hunting dogs, so he patted his chest and said that he would leave the matter to him.
Gao Mingcheng originally wanted to find a suitable hunting dog by himself, but he couldn't find it nearby. With so many things going on recently, he didn't have time to go outside to look for it.
Now that Gao Yue has come to visit, he can just leave this matter to him.
Gao Yue was quite excited at the thought of following Gao Mingcheng into the mountains for hunting in the future. He took Gao Mingcheng on the spot and walked around the area at the foot of the mountain.
Gao Mingcheng accompanied him around and asked him to have lunch with the craftsmen here. After a short rest, Gao Yue proposed to go back.
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. Gao Yue rode his own bicycle and it would take some time to get back to the county, so he had to start early.
After sending Gao Yue away, Gao Mingcheng entered the mountains by himself. This time, he held a brand-new javelin in his hand.
The javelin had been brought back from the blacksmith. After getting it back, Gao Mingcheng practiced throwing the javelin. He aimed at a tree and threw it over and over again until it penetrated the same position every time, and the tree broke directly. until it falls.
Although he has mastered it, Gao Mingcheng has not used it to hunt yet.
He was going to the county tomorrow, but Gao Mingcheng couldn't go empty-handed, so he wanted to hunt a yellow muntjac.
Winter is the time to take supplements, so it’s best to eat yellow muntjac.
He searched for a long time in the mountains before he found traces of the yellow muntjac, and once he found it, the next thing would not be difficult.
He chose a suitable position, picked up the javelin in his hand, and was ready to throw.
The lethality of a javelin cannot be compared to that of a small knife. As long as it is stabbed, it can kill a wild boar.
He takes aim, luck, and throws!
Before the yellow muntjac was aware of the danger, the javelin pierced the yellow muntjac's head with great force.
Kill with one blow.
When Gao Mingcheng carried the yellow deer down the mountain, it was already dark and the craftsmen who were working on it had all left.
The new house has not yet been completely built, and naturally there are no wires or light bulbs. It is dark at this time. He carried the yellow muntjac and walked to Grandma Xin's house.
Before the new house could no longer be moved in, he still lived at Grandma Xi's house.
After returning home, Grandma Xi had already cooked dinner. When she saw Gao Mingcheng coming back, she called him to come and eat quickly.
"Mingcheng, those tea seeds are almost dry. You have to find a time to take them to the oil pressing shop to squeeze them. It's not good to keep them for a long time." At the dinner table, Grandma X reminded me.
Gao Mingcheng was stunned. There were so many things going on recently that he had forgotten to deal with the tea seeds.
Half of those tea seeds were cleaned up by Xinai Nai and Gao Zhuang, so Gao Mingcheng decided to give Xinai Nai a pot after the tea oil was squeezed out.
He has lived in Grandma Xi's house for so long that Grandma Xi almost treats him as her own grandson.
"I'm going to the county tomorrow. Let's do it this way. I'll squeeze the oil the day after tomorrow." Gao Mingcheng said.
Gao Zhuang asked curiously: "Tomorrow is not the county's market day. What are you doing in the county?"
Without waiting for Gao Mingcheng to answer, he already said: "Okay, don't worry, I will keep an eye on your new house."
During this period, Gao Zhuang also helped out at the new house.
"Well, thank you." Gao Mingcheng thanked him first, and then explained: "Gao Yue came to see me in the village today and said that Uncle Guobing asked me to go to the county. I don't know what the specific matter is."
Grandma Xi immediately said with a smile: "A good thing, it must be a good thing! Mingcheng, you are the best at making friends. Once you have a good relationship with Gao Guobing, he will definitely be able to help you in the future."
Gao Mingcheng laughed, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely cheerful.
Grandma Xi looked at Gao Mingcheng with a trace of reluctance in her eyes. She even wanted Gao Mingcheng to live at home, so that the family would be more lively.
But Gao Mingcheng is an outsider after all, and he will eventually marry a wife and have children.
Thinking that Gao Mingcheng was about to marry Duomei, Grandma Xi looked at Gao Zhuang with loving eyes.
Well, it’s time to make arrangements for the blind date!
