If you were reborn, what would you most want to do?
Gao Mingcheng thought carefully and decided that having a wife, children, and a warm kang (heated brick bed) was the best! His young and be...
Chapter 160: At the turn of spring and summer, all things seek mate
Huang Dazhi probably knew why Gao Mingcheng was helping him so unconditionally. It might be related to the black bag on the train. After all, Gao Mingcheng took a stack of money from it before handing it over.
Afterwards, he asked himself whether he should share the money, but he didn't dare to. Huang Dazhi encountered such a dangerous situation when he went out for the first time, and he didn't dare to covet things that did not belong to him.
Because he knew that he didn't have the courage to take it.
Gao Mingcheng took the money, but also took all the risks, so Huang Dazhi thought that Gao Mingcheng deserved it. Afterwards, he did not regret it, but was glad that he did not take it, because the help Gao Mingcheng gave him afterwards was far more than the few hundred dollars!
What's more, Gao Mingcheng also asked him to work as an auxiliary police officer in the police station!
What he gained far outweighed what he lost.
No wonder when he asked others about Gao Mingcheng before, almost everyone said that Gao Mingcheng was loyal. Gao Mingcheng was indeed loyal!
Huang Dazhi did not tell his family about this, but packed up his quilt and clothes. Before leaving, he said to his family, "I'm going to work in the county. The family has lost a laborer. From now on, I will pay for hiring people to work during the busy farming season!"
"Mom, if you can hire someone, please do so. Don't work yourself too hard. If you get sick, you will have to spend money on treatment." Huang Dazhi was actually most worried about his mother. He was afraid that his mother would act too stubborn and do everything by herself, which would end up exhausting herself.
As for his father, Huang Dazhi also had something to say. He looked at his father and said seriously, "After I leave, you will be the one to cook and do the laundry at home."
Huang Dazhi's father instinctively wanted to refute that although he could not do physical work, he did not cook or wash clothes at home, because in the countryside, these two things were tacitly considered to be women's work.
Which man can wash clothes and cook? His father thought so, but under Huang Dazhi's gaze, he hesitated and dared not speak.
Because at this time Huang Dazhi is no longer just his son, but also a policeman!
Huang Dazhi's father swallowed and said nothing.
Huang Dazhi had originally prepared some words to persuade his father to do these things, but now seeing that his father did not refute him, he was a little dazed for a moment.
Some things are different!
Previously, he decided to keep the money he earned for himself and to be the head of the family, but in fact, his parents were not very convinced by him and kept trying to persuade him to hand over the money.
But now, not only did his mother not dare to say a word, even his father did not dare to refute him!
Is this the charm of work?
Huang Dazhi thought so, and then rode his bicycle towards the county town. Along the way, some people saw him riding a bicycle with a quilt and luggage, and asked him curiously where he was going. Huang Dazhi did not dare to say that he was going to be an auxiliary police officer, but just said reservedly: "I have something to do in the county."
After saying just a few words, he completely left Junling, leaving the curious villagers talking about it. Some people even went directly to Huang Dazhi's house and asked about his parents.
Soon, the whole Junling knew that Huang Dazhi had made great achievements!
When Gao Mingcheng returned home, it was just time for lunch. Today he took Huang Dazhi to the county. After finishing his business, he came back directly without wasting too much time.
After lunch, taking advantage of the good weather, Gao Mingcheng went into the mountains with a net bag. He planned to catch some bullfrogs to add to Gao Zhuang's wedding banquet.
As for the previous promise to catch big fish, we can do it while taking a bath in the evening.
Since his family dug a well, many people no longer go to the reservoir to take a bath. However, Gao Mingcheng still goes to the reservoir to take a bath when the weather is good because he enjoys the feeling of swimming in the water.
After entering the mountain, Gao Mingcheng went straight to the place where he found the bullfrog last time. Before he got close, he heard the sound of flowing water.
Following the sound of water, I saw that the water in the ditch had risen even more than before. Bullfrogs could be seen everywhere in the ditch, and the croaking of frogs was endless.
In addition to bullfrogs, Gao Mingcheng also saw something in the water, which was bullfrog eggs.
Bullfrog eggs are no different from those of other frogs, except that they are slightly larger. They are small, round black dots, and are covered with a thick layer of mucous membrane to protect them.
It is worth mentioning that bullfrogs can go into heat and lay eggs from April to September. After mating, the female frog will release eggs into the water, and then the male frog will also release sperm into the water. After the two are fertilized, a tadpole will slowly be born.
When Gao Mingcheng came back, the bullfrogs had not yet finished pairing up and laying eggs. It might be because the temperature was still a little low at the time.
Gao Mingcheng shook out the net bag he brought and prepared to catch bullfrogs.
The bullfrogs don't jump very fast. If you catch them at night with a flashlight, you can definitely catch them. It's daytime now, so it's a little troublesome to catch them, but for Gao Mingcheng, it's no big deal. He comes here to catch bullfrogs just like he comes to purchase goods. He can get as many as he wants.
After catching enough bullfrogs, Gao Mingcheng turned his attention to wild ducks.
Last time he found wild ducks here and picked up a few wild duck eggs. He looked at the lush grass beside the ditch. He didn't need to look carefully. As long as he saw some fallen grass, he would just walk over and take a look.
Because when wild ducks lay eggs, they will definitely crush a small patch of grass.
But not all ducks will lay eggs obediently on the shore. Some reckless female ducks will lay eggs directly in the water, in the woods, or on rocks.
It lays eggs wherever it goes!
In addition, female ducks do not have the good habit of hatching their young like hens, so the number of ducks has always been small. If they are raised artificially, hens will have to be troubled to hatch the duck eggs in order to increase production.
Gao Mingcheng searched for a while, and with the help of his super eyesight, he finally found some wild duck eggs. However, when he held some of them in his hands, he felt that the egg liquid inside was shaking, and it was obvious that they had gone bad.
Gao Mingcheng threw away the rotten duck egg. When it hit the ground, the egg liquid turned black and gave off a fishy smell.
Gao Mingcheng wanted to continue looking, but was blocked by a snake.
No one knew what happened to the snake, it just coiled there motionless. Gao Mingcheng identified it and found it was a wood snake, which usually moves on trees. It is a nocturnal animal and is slightly venomous.
Gao Mingcheng was surprised, so he picked up a wooden stick and poked the snake. The snake did not move, and it turned out to be dead.
Since that was the case, Gao Mingcheng didn't care. He just stepped over it and continued to move forward.
At this moment, he heard the sound of birds running quickly. Looking up, he saw a group of golden pheasants.
When Gao Mingcheng saw the Golden Pheasant, his eyes widened. The most common pheasant here is the not-so-pretty kind, similar to a domestic chicken, but smaller than a domestic chicken.
But the Golden Pheasant is different. It is very beautiful! And it is the prototype of the Phoenix, especially the rooster, which is about 1 meter long and has seven colors of feathers: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple, which is dazzling.
But Gao Mingcheng was not surprised by the beauty of the Golden Pheasant, but because they had never heard of the Golden Pheasant here!
There are about five or six golden pheasants in this group. The male pheasant is courting other female birds, showing off his appearance and crowing while circling around the females or running back and forth and observing their expressions. When he stands right in front of the female, his gorgeous feathers are fluffy and his colorful shawl feathers cover his head, much like an open folding fan.
Seeing this scene, Gao Mingcheng left quietly. It is very uncivilized and impolite to disturb the courtship of other species!
