Return to Little Mountain Village in 1986

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...

The atmosphere at the dinner table was ordinary, but the large amount of meat made it a little more lively. However, the two uncles still didn't say much.

Gao Yuanjian told his uncles about their plan to split up and how to do it. During this time, his two uncles did not say anything but just nodded in agreement.

Not long after the meal, the two left.

Although it seems a bit sloppy, at least the process has been followed and the gossipers in the village won't come and gossip about it.

Gao Mingcheng was very efficient. The next day, he took his parents' household registration to the township police station and handled the splitting of the household registration.

While in the village, he bought some melon seeds, peanuts and oranges, which would be useful in what happened next.

He found the leader of the village committee group and called some other people to visit Xi Nainai's house. During the visit, hot tea, peanuts, melon seeds and oranges were served, and everyone chatted together. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

In the past, Gao Mingcheng's reputation in the village was mixed, but ever since Gao Mingcheng started working for an outside boss and purchasing medicinal materials in the village, his reputation has gradually improved.

After Luo Xiaohua boasted that Gao Mingcheng had used all his earnings to buy ginseng and wolfberry for her, Gao Mingcheng's reputation reached its peak.

In the countryside, if you are unfilial, everyone will criticize you; if you are filial, everyone will praise you.

If you have a good reputation, things will go smoothly.

So when Gao Mingcheng proposed to build a house at the foot of Niuweiling Mountain, the team leader and others agreed to it out of respect and asked Gao Mingcheng to go through the process. As long as 60% of the villagers agreed, they would grant him the residential land.

Basically, if you want to use the production team's homestead to build a house, no one will refuse, unless your reputation in the village is really bad and some people don't want to see you succeed and deliberately make things difficult for you.

Gao Mingcheng took out a paper he had prepared in advance and asked those present to sign their agreement first. Then he went to most of the households in the village to get their signatures. When he got almost 60% of the signatures, the team leader would submit the report. If there were no accidents, the residential land would officially belong to Gao Mingcheng.

As for the marriage certificate, everyone in the village knew about Gao Mingcheng and many other things about Mei, so it was not very important whether there was a marriage certificate or not.

After the family was divided and the residential land was obtained, the next step was to build a house.

Building a house is a big deal, so Gao Yuanjian specifically asked Gao Mingcheng what arrangements he had.

Gao Mingcheng said: "I cut down some trees in the mountains and borrowed some money from others. I plan to build three houses to live in."

Yes, Gao Mingcheng did not plan to build a big house, nor did he plan to build a two-story building. He only planned to build one floor with three rooms. It was not big, but enough.

With the money Gao Mingcheng has now, he can definitely build a luxurious villa, but what's the point? Not only will the money be spent, but it will also attract attention and make things inconvenient for him in the future.

But since he only built three houses and explained that he had borrowed money from others, no one would doubt that Gao Mingcheng had made a lot of money and would just think it was natural.

Even so, the fact that he was able to repair three houses by himself was something the villagers could boast about.

Gao Yuanjian nodded, and felt that there was no problem with Gao Mingcheng building three houses, but he was very dissatisfied with the residential land chosen by Gao Mingcheng.

He frowned and said, "Why did you choose that place for your homestead? My family doesn't have any extra homestead for you, but you can also exchange the mountain and the people for a place closer to the village."

The older generation was used to living together, so Gao Yuanjian spent money to buy someone else's old house. On the one hand, he could live there immediately, and on the other hand, the housing site was in the center of the old village, making it more popular.

"There's no one living nearby, and in winter, wild boars from the mountains will come down to destroy the crops. You live there alone, what if something happens?" Gao Yuanjian was very worried, thinking that the second brother was reliable at one moment and unreliable at another.

There are so many vacant residential plots, but one of them is so far away from the old village.

Gao Mingcheng said: "I often go to the mountains, and it is more convenient to live there. When the time comes, I will buy more bricks and build a solid wall."

It is necessary to build a wall. Gao Mingcheng himself is not afraid of wild boars, but he has to consider the beauty and the safety of his children in the future. Besides, having a wall to block the view will provide more privacy and he will feel more comfortable doing anything.

Although Gao Yuanjian was not satisfied, the house was still built.

Gao Mingcheng found craftsmen who knew how to build houses, and had them measure the land and estimate the amount of wood, bricks, and tiles that would be needed.

Then Gao Mingcheng was responsible for purchasing the items and choosing an auspicious day to start construction.

Gao Mingcheng chose to go to the town to buy bricks, and asked Chen Guolin's tractor to help transport the goods. It took more than ten trips back and forth to transport all the bricks and tiles back.

Three rooms don’t actually require many bricks, but who asked Gao Mingcheng to want to build a very big wall?

The bricks used in the wall are almost as much as those in three rooms.

This made the villagers say that Gao Mingcheng was a little stupid in doing things.

Whether it is stupid or not is a matter of opinion. Gao Mingcheng did not argue with others and focused all his attention on building the house. During this period, Xuanmei did not go to Dong Feixia's place to work, but helped cook in the makeshift kitchen.

The builders of the house had to provide lunch, so Luo Xiaohua could not be counted on, and her grandmother was old, so many beauties came to help.

Early every morning, Gao Mingcheng would go into the mountains to hunt, but he would not bring back game every day. Instead, he would bring back game every two or three days. This would make people envy him but would not arouse any suspicion.

In addition to pheasants, rabbits and the like, Gao Mingcheng also placed fish baskets in the reservoir, and he had some harvest every day.

By relying on these, you can save some money on buying meat and vegetables.

When the outlines of the three houses began to take shape, a young man with good temperament came to the village.

The young man rode a bicycle, entered the village from Cheng'en's house, and went straight to his grandmother's house. Along the way, the villagers greeted him enthusiastically when they saw him.

"Gao Yue, why are you back? Is there something wrong?"

"Gao Yue, I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown taller! You're a head taller than my son!"

"Gao Yue, come to my aunt's house and have a seat."

The villagers warmly welcomed him, but Gao Yue refused. "No, auntie, I have to go find Gao Mingcheng."

Then someone stopped him and told him not to go any further. Instead, they pointed in the direction of Niuweiling and said, "Gao Mingcheng is building a house over there. Go find him there."

"He built a house?" Gao Yue widened his eyes and said in disbelief.

He learned from his father that Gao Mingcheng made a little money, but in the countryside, building a house is a big deal.

"No wonder he hasn't been to the county for a long time!" Gao Yue muttered, turned the car around and rode towards Niuweiling.

The performance has increased quite well recently, the high-end orders are 1800 yuan, and the average orders are 1400 yuan. In order to achieve high-quality products, I am willing to update more frequently.

This chapter counts as yesterday's, and there are three more chapters today. I have a parent-teacher meeting in the morning, so I will update in the afternoon.
