When inspecting the beehive, Gao Mingcheng found that there was a lot of honey in the beehive.
Italian bees are active in collecting honey. As long as there is a honey source, they collect honey all year round and produce honey. Gao Mingcheng hasn't shaken honey all winter, so there is indeed a lot of honey in it now.
He took out a piece of beehive and held it up to the sun. He could see that there were many holes inside that were filled with honey, and the color of the honey was very dark, almost black amber.
New honey is light amber in color. This honey has just been brewed, has a high water content, is relatively thin, and does not taste that sweet.
When the color of the honey gradually becomes darker, it will be brewed. The honey will become sticky and sweet, and the shelf life will be longer.
"It seems it's time to shake the honey." Gao Mingcheng said to himself and decided to bring the honey shaker into the mountain to shake the honey later.
As spring warms and flowers bloom, the nectar sources in the mountains increase, and honey collectors are actively collecting nectar. New honey will soon be brewed. When the time comes, the new honey and old honey will be mixed together, and it will be difficult to shake the honey again.
There are also many types of honey. I won’t mention royal jelly. Common honey names are based on seasons and specific flowers.
For example, spring honey, summer honey, autumn honey, winter honey, date honey, acacia honey, etc., if it is a bit more general, it is simply called hundred flower honey.
Because there is no single species forming a large scale here in Gao Mingcheng, there is no way to specifically collect a certain type of nectar. He can only collect honey from flowers all over the mountain.
Among the four seasons honey, winter honey has the best quality.
Now seeing so much winter honey, Gao Mingcheng is also happy. After shaking the honey last fall, he has not touched the honey in the beehive, in order to allow the bees to survive the winter safely. However, it is obvious that the bees are living a good life and have not consumed all the stored honey.
If that's the case, then I'll accept it.
Gao Mingcheng turned around and went down the mountain. When he went up the mountain again, he already had a honey shaker and a honey cutter in his hand.
Although there is honey in the beehives, it is not as abundant as in spring and summer. You have to choose the ones with more honey to shake. Gao Mingcheng was busy until dark, and then he shook the honey in all the beehives.
Because the quantity is not large, all the honey can be stored in the honey shaker, and there is no need to shake it several times like before.
Dusk falls, the birds return to their nests, and everything is quiet.
Gao Mingcheng carried the filled honey shaker and walked step by step on the way down the mountain. Although it was dark, he was familiar with the situation in the mountain and could vaguely see the road conditions.
Before we completely descended the mountain, we heard the familiar barking of dogs. It turned out that the black tiger and the elf were looking for us.
When he entered the mountain before, he didn't see these two dogs, and he didn't know where they went.
The two dogs surrounded him enthusiastically, appearing very intimate. Surrounded by the two dogs, Gao Mingcheng went down the mountain, but was stunned when he saw the lights on in his house.
As I walked quickly into the yard, I heard rustling sounds coming from the kitchen.
During these days, he would sometimes get some food at his own home, sometimes go to his grandma's house to have a meal, and sometimes he would go to his parents' house to have a meal.
But except himself, no one would come to his house to cook for him.
Gao Mingcheng was suspicious, put down the honey shaker and honey cutter in his hands, and walked into the kitchen.
Under the light, a familiar figure stood by the stove, cooking. There were already two plates of fried vegetables on the edge of the stove.
When he saw this person, Gao Mingcheng's heart moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
I was about to call her out, but I saw her expression was strange while she was cooking, as if she was suppressing vomiting.
"Duomei, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Put it down and let me do it." Gao Mingcheng walked over quickly and took the shovel from Duomei's hand.
Duo Mei was stunned. Gao Mingcheng's footsteps were light. She was focused on cooking and didn't even notice that he had come back.
Seeing Gao Mingcheng looking at him with concern while cooking, many beautiful faces were full of smiles.
She pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Mingcheng, we are going to have a baby!"
A while ago, many beauties wanted to return to the village. Deng Wanwan's performance was getting better day by day. With her and Gao Shufang in the store, they were able to keep busy, so many beauties wanted to return to the village to help Gao Mingcheng.
But who knew that she felt a little unwell, as if she had caught a cold. She had no choice but to rest at home, but she didn't go to get any medicine. She just boiled ginger brown sugar water. Ginger brown sugar water can dispel cold and warm the stomach. , drink it while it's hot, and then sweat, the coldness in the body will dissipate, and people will feel comfortable.
This is a folk remedy for treating colds, and it is a method that everyone in Gaojia Village knows. Ginger and brown sugar are relatively easy to obtain, and the effect is indeed quite good.
After Duo Mei drank the ginger brown sugar water and slept again, she felt better, but then Deng Wanwan found her in private and politely asked her to go to the hospital for a check-up.
At first, many beauties kept it to themselves, saying that although they felt a little uncomfortable, they were not sick enough and did not need to see a doctor.
Seeing this, Deng Wanwan had no choice but to speak more clearly and told her that she suspected she was pregnant.
Duo Mei was startled when she heard this, but then she was a little happy. She hurried to see a doctor, and it was confirmed that she was indeed pregnant for more than a month.
Now that she was pregnant and unwell, Duomei couldn't go back to the village to help, but she couldn't wait to tell Gao Mingcheng the good news, so when she learned that Gao Mingwan was going back to the village today, she sat with Gao Mingwan. The pickup truck I drove is back.
If you are riding a bicycle by yourself, let alone whether you have enough physical strength to hold on, the cold wind blowing head-on is enough to make you choke.
After Duomei came back, he didn't see Gao Mingcheng. He walked around the house and found that the honey shaker was gone, so he guessed that Gao Mingcheng had gone to the mountains to shake honey.
She didn't know where Gao Mingcheng had placed the beehives, and she didn't dare to go up the mountain for fear of something bad happening, so she had to stay at home and cook a sumptuous dinner.
Many beauties were full of excitement at this time and were chattering.
Tell her what symptoms she has, what the doctor told her, and her thoughts about the child in her belly, whether it will be a boy or a girl, if it is a girl, what will it be called, if it is a boy, what will it be called, etc.
She had been thinking about these things over and over for many days, but had no one to talk to. Now that she saw Gao Mingcheng, she said them all in one go.
Gao Mingcheng was very happy when he heard that Duo Mei was pregnant, but then when he counted the days, he looked a little dazed.
In his previous life, he only got married to Duo Mei in the autumn of 1987. Shortly after the marriage, during the Chinese New Year, Duo Mei became pregnant with their eldest son. During Duo Mei's pregnancy, he went out to work again, for several days in a row. Haven't been back for months.
In this life, he established a relationship with Duo Mei in 1986 and got married in early 1987. At first, because Duo Mei was young, he took protective measures and did not plan to get pregnant immediately.
But after Gao Zhuang had a child, in the second half of last year, he began to take no protective measures and planned to have a child casually, but nothing happened.
now……
Counting the days, I found that I was pregnant at about the same time in my previous life and this life, so the child born should be the eldest son from my previous life!
Thinking of his eldest son, Gao Mingcheng felt that the impression of him in his mind was a little blurry, but he felt that this was a good thing. Everyone has unlimited possibilities at the very beginning of life.
It would be better not to look at him with the predetermined eyes of future generations.
"Mingcheng, are you happy?" After Duomei said a lot of words, he noticed that Gao Mingcheng didn't say anything.
She couldn't help but feel strange. Could it be that Gao Mingcheng was unhappy?
Probably not. The person who pestered her all night long was Gao Mingcheng himself!
"Happy!" Gao Mingcheng said with a smile, but the movements of his hands did not stop. After the vegetables in the big iron pot were cooked, he skillfully put them on the plate, and then poured half a ladle of water into the pot. The hot bottom of the pot was As soon as the cold water was poured, it made a squeaking sound.
After doing all this, he picked up Duomei and said sincerely: "I'm very happy, Duomei. I will definitely be good to you and the child in the future."
Many Meis have never doubted this, and smiled and hummed.
Gao Mingcheng gave her an unprecedented good life. She also trusted Gao Mingcheng very much and never doubted him at all.
This meal was extraordinarily heartwarming, even though many of them had symptoms of early pregnancy, such as not being able to smell oil smoke, not being able to eat meat dishes, and even white rice made them feel nauseous.
Therefore, on the dinner table, many beauties only eat vegetables, and eat very little.
Gao Mingcheng persuaded her to eat meat, but when he saw her eating it in one bite, she vomited it out in disgust. Seeing this, Gao Mingcheng did not dare to persuade him any more.
He said melancholy: "Why are your symptoms so severe? I think your second sister and He Xiuman are not as serious as you. Although they can't smell the smoke, they eat and drink what they should."
Duo Mei said: "I don't know what's going on with He Xiuman, but my second sister actually reacted too much, but there's nothing we can do about it. She and my brother are the only two people in her family, but she has a lot of things to do. , when she was pregnant, she had no time to spare and had to do a lot of things every day. She also couldn’t eat, but if she didn’t eat, her body would become limp and lack of energy, and she wouldn’t be able to survive.”
Saying that, Duomei sighed.
She felt a little emotional, maybe her life was getting better, so the symptoms on her body were amplified, and she still had a choice.
For example, if she can’t smell the fumes, she doesn’t have to cook!
For example, if she can't eat, she can starve first. Anyway, Gao Mingcheng won't ask her to do this or that. She can have a good rest. As long as she survives the first trimester, her body will recover.
Gao Mingcheng was really reluctant to ask her to do this and that, and said: "Don't cook anymore. Here in Gaojia Village, I will cook, and in the county, let Shufang and Wanwan cook. You take good care of your body, since you eat If you don’t want to eat, can you drink milk powder and malted milk? I’ll buy them tomorrow!”
"Oh, I just shook the winter honey today, let me make you a cup of honey water to drink!"
With that said, Gao Mingcheng quickly went to get honey water.
When soaking honey, you need to use warm water, not boiling water, otherwise the nutrients in the honey will be destroyed. The same goes for soaking milk powder, you can only use warm water, not boiling water.
Soon, he brought a large bowl of honey water and placed it in front of many beauties.
Many beauties looked at the large bowl full of honey water. They were stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "How can I drink so much!"
Gao Mingcheng said: "You can drink it, and I will drink the rest."
With his words, Duo Mei no longer worried. She did not dare to drink in big sips, but drank in small sips. After two or three sips, she found that it was okay and did not feel severe nausea, so she did this Then he continued to drink.
But Gao Mingcheng made too much honey water. She only drank half of it and handed the rest to Gao Mingcheng. Gao Mingcheng took it and drank it all in one gulp.
That night, I also went to bed early.
On the bed, the two of them were lying side by side. Gao Mingcheng put his hand on Duo Mei's belly, seeming to be feeling something, but the child in his belly was only as big as a peanut and there was no movement at all.
Gao Mingcheng was a little disappointed. When he was about to speak, he heard slight snoring. It turned out that Duo Mei had fallen asleep.
After becoming pregnant, she became more sleepy than before and snored slightly while sleeping.
Gao Mingcheng stared at her for a while and found that Duo Mei's face was haggard. It seemed that this child had tormented her mother quite a lot.
It's just that although he feels distressed, he can't replace it. He can only think of ways to eat, so that at least many beauties don't go hungry.
Early the next morning, it happened to be the market in Junling, so Gao Mingcheng went to the market early. He planned to buy some different vegetables for Duomei to eat instead of just eating the same one or two every day. In addition, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy milk powder and wheat. Creamer.
Seeing someone selling steamed buns and fried dough sticks at the market, he also bought every kind of filling to see which ones Duomei would eat.
When he returned with a lot of things, many of the sleepy beauties had not yet woken up.
Gao Mingcheng did not wake her up, but went to the kitchen by himself, opened the wooden pot lid, and a stream of hot steam came out. The porridge in the big iron pot was ready.
He made a bowl of porridge and ate it with steamed buns and fried dough sticks.
Just after eating, many beauties woke up. When she saw Gao Mingcheng, she smiled sheepishly and said, "After being pregnant, I always felt lack of energy and fell asleep very much."
Gao Mingcheng said: "It's good to sleep until you wake up naturally. You go and wash up, and then come and have breakfast. I cooked porridge and eggs, and bought steamed buns and fried dough sticks. Do you think you can eat some?"
Duo Mei glanced at the table, her stomach growling with hunger, but it was hard to say whether she could eat it. Soon, she washed up and sat at the table.
First, she ate white porridge, which she could eat. In recent days, she had relied on white porridge to survive, but she couldn't eat too much of it, otherwise she would have to vomit.
Eggs were okay to eat, but she suddenly didn't like the yolks, so she ate the egg whites and gave the yolks to Gao Mingcheng.
As for the steamed buns, she ate a red bean paste bun, which was soft and sweet and tasted pretty good. As for the meat buns and vegetable buns, she couldn't eat them at all.
Even greasy things like fried dough sticks made her nauseous after just one bite.
Gao Mingcheng saw her trying various things, and he knew it well, and planned to buy it for her in different ways later.
Last time he stayed in Wangqiao Town for a few days and ate the bread there and thought it was pretty good.
Since many Americans can eat steamed buns with red bean paste, they might also be able to eat bread. He plans to go over there and buy some.
On this day, Gao Mingcheng couldn't bring himself to work outside, he just wanted to guard the beauty.
Many beauties don't like to stay in one place. There is no way in the county. In order to do business, they can only stay in the store all day long. This is also the helplessness of many businessmen.
There is no custom here that you cannot tell others if you are pregnant for less than three months, but I have told my close relatives that since Duomei wants to move around, Gao Mingcheng might as well take Duomei to his parents' house to sit there, and take the opportunity to Tell the elders this good news.
He was not empty-handed, so he went there with two bottles of winter honey. They were just shaken out yesterday. The taste is very sweet and rich. If you eat a little on a daily basis, it can not only replenish the body, but also moisturize the intestines and relieve constipation.
When he arrived at the old village, Gao Mingcheng walked a few steps quickly and gave a bottle of honey to Grandma Xixi's house, and then walked side by side with Duo Mei to his parents' house.
