Gao Mingcheng finally went into the mountain to dig trees, but instead of digging those wild fruit trees, he dug two gardenia trees back.
The gardenias in their mountains are all yellow gardenias, and the fruits they bear after blooming can be used as medicine.
Gao Mingcheng dug up two gardenia trees, not only for their fruit, but also for their beauty!
When the gardenia tree blooms, the flowers are white in color, elegant and fragrant, and the flowers are also edible. Pick the flowers, remove the buds, blanch them and soak them in cold water. When you want to eat them, wring out the water and add some oil, salt, Add some chili and you can stir-fry a fragrant flower dish.
Gao Mingcheng had already thought about where to plant the gardenia tree.
When he returned to his home, he didn't have to go into the yard, put down the gardenia tree in his hand, and then chose a suitable place on both sides of the gate and started digging a hole.
After digging the hole, there is no need to rush to plant. Instead, first get some fermented and decomposed fertilizer. This is mainly the fertilizer after the tea has dried and decomposed. Gao Mingcheng is willing to use good fertilizer, hoping that these two gardenias will grow. The sub-trees will grow better, and when they bloom in May, the flowers will be so beautiful that it will make people happy to see them.
As he planted the trees, much beauty came out of the house.
Her second sister had already gone home, and she also sorted and sorted the things she bought this year and put them away one by one. At this time, he was leaning on the edge of the door and watching Gao Mingcheng plant trees.
"Here, help me." Gao Mingcheng said.
Duo Mei immediately walked over, bent slightly, and held the gardenia tree steady with his hands, so that Gao Mingcheng could concentrate on covering the soil.
At this time, Duo Mei suddenly said: "Mingcheng, my second sister is pregnant!"
Gao Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, then said oh, counting the days, Duoyu's eldest son was born this fall.
Duo Mei was very emotional and said: "Second sister and brother have been married for several years, and now they are finally pregnant and have a child. My father must be very happy. Mingcheng, during Qingming Festival this year, I will go to my father's grave and burn paper."
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng agreed and asked Duomei if he would make rice crackers during Qingming Festival this year.
Their custom here is to make rice crackers during the Qingming Festival, and then take the rice crackers and meat to the graves of their ancestors to offer sacrifices.
"Do it, I can make rice crackers!" Duo Mei said with a smile. She knew that Gao Mingcheng loved to eat rice crackers. Whenever rice crackers were made at home, he would eat rice crackers instead of eating.
Therefore, she plans to make more this year so that Gao Mingcheng can eat enough.
Gao Mingcheng was really happy when he heard she said she wanted to make rice crackers.
Making rice crackers is actually quite complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive, just for that one bite. As their generation gets older and their children move into the city, fewer and fewer people are willing to make rice crackers.
And if you want to buy handmade rice crackers in the city, it is even more difficult to find.
Because Duoyu was pregnant, Duomei, after discussing with Gao Mingcheng, decided to send Duoyu a pound of brown sugar and ten eggs.
When Duomei sent the things over, Duoyu said to her again: "I am pregnant and my health is inconvenient, and your brother is a boring gourd and can't speak or do anything. Duomei, I have to trouble you to go and bring this Let’s talk to the eldest sister and third sister about it. Anyway, you have a bicycle now, so it’s easy to go anywhere.”
This task, a lot of beauty comes next.
As her second sister said, she had a car, so it was easy to go and send a letter. Besides, she hadn't been to her eldest sister and third sister's house for a long time.
"Okay, I'll go report to them tomorrow." Taking advantage of the recent good weather, Duo Mei decided to go tomorrow.
On the second day, Duomei had breakfast and said to Gao Mingcheng, "I may not be back at noon. If I don't come back, you can either cook something by yourself or go to Grandma Xi's place to eat."
Gao Mingcheng can cook, but he doesn't know many tricks, just enough to ensure that he doesn't starve to death.
"Go ahead, don't worry about me. I can make a living anywhere. You go to your eldest sister's place first, and then to your third sister's place. It won't be too late to come back after lunch." Gao Mingcheng said for many people Mei comes up with ideas.
The third sister of many beauties married well and was cheerful and generous. After many beauties left, they would definitely keep her to eat.
Duo Mei naturally knew the personalities of his sisters, so he glanced at Gao Mingcheng with a smile.
She rode her bicycle, waved goodbye to Gao Mingcheng, and stepped on the pedals and left in a hurry.
Watching her leave, Gao Mingcheng said to Hei Hu next to him: "Let's go to Grandma Xixi's place for lunch at noon!"
"Woof woof!" Black Tiger responded happily.
Since he wanted to get some food, he couldn't go empty-handed. Gao Mingcheng took the rabbit he had just caught this morning and headed towards Grandma X's house.
After putting down the things and saying that we would eat here at noon, Grandma Xi naturally smiled and agreed, and she would cook food for one more person at noon.
But Grandma X also asked where the beauty had gone.
So Gao Mingcheng told many beautiful second sisters that they were pregnant, and that she was going to report to the eldest sister and third sister on behalf of the second sister.
"Oh, Duoyu is pregnant? That's great. She hasn't gotten pregnant after several years of marriage, and people in the village are gossiping about her behind her back! They say she's a hen that doesn't lay eggs, and she found a wife in vain. Husband, I’m also guessing whether one of your and Duomei’s children will be named Xu.” Grandma Xi said while choosing vegetables.
Gao Mingcheng's face turned dark. He didn't expect those talkative women to actually plot against him.
But since his mouth was on someone else, he couldn't fight with others over such a trivial matter, so he had to touch his nose and endure it!
Grandma Xi continued: "Now that Duoyu is pregnant, no one will talk about those gossips anymore."
Gao Mingcheng responded, and then said goodbye to Grandma Xi, saying he would come over for lunch at noon.
Nothing happened today, so he decided to go to the mountains.
There had been continuous spring rains before, making it inconvenient to go into the mountains, and he hadn't gone into the mountains for a while.
While passing by the corridor between the houses in the village, Gao Mingcheng suddenly heard someone talking about him behind his back.
So he stopped and pricked up his ears to listen to the sounds coming from the other side of the wall.
"I said at first that I wanted to marry Gao Mingcheng, but you refused to let me go, saying that he was not welcomed by the family and had a bad reputation, so there was no benefit in marrying him. So I asked me to look at people from other villages, and then asked me to marry him. You married me with a betrothal gift, but now what? Gao Mingcheng is living so well! And what about me? I finally got pregnant, and even got a miscarriage!"
"Mom, I hate you!"
The young woman's voice was filled with tears and she spoke with resentment.
Her voice was loud and sharp, so Gao Mingcheng easily heard it all. After hearing it, he felt embarrassed.
He thought for a while before he remembered who the woman speaking was. She was said to be his same age and had studied together in elementary school.
But he couldn't recall any more scenes of the two getting along.
If he hadn't accidentally heard it from the corner, he might not have known that this old classmate had ever wanted to marry him.
what is this?
Only to find out after rebirth that someone has a crush on me?
