Chapter 23: Coax
Split up the family?
Hearing these two words, Xuan Duomei felt her heart pounding and her face was full of disbelief.
Families with many sons will eventually separate and live on their own, but Gao Mingcheng said this now, and she still felt Gao Mingcheng's sincerity towards her.
"Are you really willing to separate and live alone?" Manyu Mei felt sweet in her heart, but still asked uncertainly.
Gao Mingcheng nodded affirmatively.
In his previous life, his parents never cared about his wife and children, and he didn't expect them to do so in this life.
But in this life, he will never spend a lot of money on his parents and brothers again.
You can repay your parents’ kindness, but you must first take good care of your own family, and then repay your parents when you have the energy to do so.
"A big tree has many branches. Sooner or later, the four brothers in our family will have to live separately. After we get married, we will separate first." Gao Mingcheng said affirmatively, and then said: "But I don't have any money now, so we can't get married yet. You, wait for me."
Gao Mingcheng already has a plan to make money in his mind, but it still takes time to realize it.
He expects to marry many beauties into his home by this winter at the latest.
It just so happens that Xuanyimei is only seventeen years old now and has not yet reached adulthood. After the New Year, she will be exactly eighteen years old!
Gao Mingcheng felt excited when he thought of his 18-year-old wife.
People in the countryside get married early, and many get married at the age of 18 or 19.
However, if you get married at this age, you cannot get a marriage certificate, so many people either don’t go to the Civil Affairs Bureau in the county to get a marriage certificate, or they go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate a few years after they have been married and have children.
In their previous life, Gao Mingcheng and Xuanyuemei also got their marriage certificate two years later.
Gao Mingcheng coaxed many beauties with just a few words. The two were childhood sweethearts, having known each other since childhood and always had feelings for each other. After Gao Mingcheng directly confessed his love, the two naturally started dating.
The love among young people nowadays is much more conservative than that in later generations.
After being reborn, Gao Mingcheng has not held many beautiful little hands yet!
Suppressing his inner urge, Gao Mingcheng said to Xuanyuemei: "I got a beehive yesterday. I'll give you some honey."
He pointed to the bowl beside him and said, "I plan to go to the mountains to get some more beehives and sell them at the market. Duomei, find me a knife and a bucket, I need them."
He hadn't taken any tools from his grandmother's house and only had a bag with him, but if he used the bag to carry the beehive, some honey would be wasted.
"Well, okay." When Xuanmei saw the bowl of honeycomb and smelled the sweet scent of honey, her mood had already improved.
She immediately took out a kitchen knife and a clean bucket from home. This was the bucket their family used to fetch water. It had been used for many years and was bought at the market when her father was still alive.
The wooden barrel is heavier than the plastic barrel, but Gao Mingcheng didn't mind it. This amount of weight is nothing to him.
"I'm going into the mountains. If you have time, you should read more books and practice calligraphy. I'll check your homework when I'm free!"
Before Gao Mingcheng left, he was still giving earnest instructions.
Manyu Mei was leaning against the door, her eyes were smiling again, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing her good mood.
"Okay." She nodded obediently, innocent and cute.
After saying goodbye to his lovely young wife, Gao Mingcheng felt full of energy.
He carried the wooden barrel, humming an unknown song in a very happy mood, and walked towards the mountains.
"Brother Mingcheng!" He heard a tall and strong voice from afar.
When Gao Zhuang saw him, he ran towards him with a gossipy look on his face.
"Brother Mingcheng, why did your mother come to cause trouble for Mei? And she cursed her so harshly?" Gao Zhuang was a little puzzled.
He was Gao Mingcheng's follower, so he was naturally very familiar with Xuanyimei. He also knew that before this, Gao Mingcheng had been helping Xuanyimei a lot.
Gao Mingcheng is a man of integrity and has helped many people, but he still keeps a certain distance from the girls in the village. Only beautiful girls can make him help them again and again.
Gao Zhuang didn’t react before, but now he thinks that this is actually because Gao Mingcheng likes many kinds of beauty.
When this matter was mentioned, Gao Mingcheng's face instantly turned cold.
He didn't ask his mother, but she knew without asking that he had just gone to see Gao Fuqiang last night, and he was afraid that Gao Fuqiang's family would go to his house right after to stir up trouble.
This gave him a very bad impression of Gao Fuqiang's family.
Gao Mingcheng snorted and changed the subject: "Gao Zhuang, you must stay at Niuweiling for the next two days. If you see strangers entering the village or the mountain, you must come to find me immediately! Oh, if you can't find me, just blow the whistle. I'll know when I hear the whistle."
Gao Zhuang had a whistle made of iron with an iron bead inside. When it was blown, it made a very loud sound, which he should be able to hear even if he was in the mountains.
If nothing goes wrong, the group of tomb robbers in the previous life will appear at Niuweiling tomorrow morning, and it will take one or two days to survey the location of the ancient tomb.
He asked Gao Zhuang to stay at the foot of Niuweiling two days in advance, just to be on the safe side so as to avoid missing it.
Gao Zhuang blinked his eyes, knowing that his brother Ming Cheng didn't want to talk about that matter, so he sensibly didn't mention it.
"good!"
After the two brothers finished talking, they went to do their own things.
Gao Zhuang continued to go back to the foot of Niuweiling Mountain and played games with the hares using his trap, while Gao Mingcheng went into the mountain.
When he reached a deserted place in the mountains, Gao Mingcheng ran all the way to the place where flowers were blooming.
There is no need to go into the mountains today, as long as we can find a beehive. I entered the mountains yesterday just to experience the changes in myself.
After walking for about ten minutes, Gao Mingcheng followed the bees' trail and found the beehive.
Today, with a knife and a bucket, things can be done more easily.
But when he got closer to the beehive, he saw a large number of bees circling and flying around, making a buzzing sound. Gao Mingcheng thought that next time he went to the market, he must buy some gauze and ask Dong Feixia to make a set of protective clothing for him.
Although he ran fast and was able to avoid the bees' pursuit, if he had protective clothing, even if he slowly cut the beehive, these bees that had lost their homes would not be able to do anything to him.
Although he was thinking about something, his hands and feet were extremely nimble. He found the place where there was a lot of honey, and then decisively cut it with a knife. The honeycomb was instantly split into two, and sticky honey dripped from the cut.
Gao Mingcheng threw the cut beehive into the wooden barrel and ran away quickly.
The bees that had lost their homes chased after them madly, but Gao Mingcheng was too cunning. His body had undergone an unknown transformation and became incredibly fast. He ran away in a few seconds and disappeared without a trace, avoiding the pursuit of most of the bees.
The swarm of bees circled around unwillingly, wanting to continue chasing and killing, but they had lost their direction. In the end, the swarm of bees had to return home and continue building their hives to guard their only remaining home.
I saw some readers complaining that period novels don’t need to have such families, so I would like to explain it here.
The stories in this book come from my two elders. Eighty percent of the characters are true, and twenty percent of the story lines are true.
The rest is artistic processing.
For example, using the money from selling straw mats to buy martial arts secrets is real, but the gold foil on the cover is fake~~~
