Chapter 35: Live Carefully
Gao Mingcheng took out the heart of the yellow muntjac and handed it to his grandmother, asking her to use it to make a soup.
The grandmother was a little reluctant and said, "We already cooked rabbit at home, why are you cooking this?"
Gao Mingcheng made up an excuse: "It's hot, it can't be kept! Grandma, please cook it quickly. The heart is too small, cook the liver as well!"
After hearing this, Grandma Xi felt even more distressed. The old lady was a meticulous person and would not eat so much. She said distressedly, "How can the three of us eat so much? If you can't save it, you can give it to your parents. By the way, since you are taking a long time to come back, I will let Zhuangzhuang take the half pound of pork to your home."
"Oh." Gao Mingcheng responded casually. Seeing Gao Zhuang cleaning his stomach, he said, "Don't clean the intestines. I'll send them to my house later and let them clean them themselves!"
"Yeah." Gao Zhuang responded and worked happily.
Gao Mingcheng has already cut the yellow muntjac meat into four large pieces, each weighing about four or five pounds. These are all top-quality meat.
Staring at these pieces of meat, Gao Mingcheng really wanted to roast them. Roasted yellow muntjac meat must be delicious!
He gurgled and swallowed secretly.
Restraining the restlessness in his heart, he cut another piece of good meat, about two pounds, and then took the two pounds of good meat, along with the lungs and intestines, to his home.
When he entered the house, most of the family members were sitting in the yard to enjoy the cool air. The food was probably not ready yet, but the aroma of food was already wafting from the kitchen.
Seeing him suddenly come back, his family was stunned. Gao Yuanjian even frowned and scolded: "I thought you died outside, and you have the nerve to come back!"
Gao Mingcheng didn't care even after being scolded. Parents nowadays don't know how to educate their children, but they all like to use repressive education. It is common for them to scold their children at every turn.
For a child like Gao Mingcheng who is not loved by his parents, he endures even more insults.
He put the things in his hand on the ground and said, "I got a yellow muntjac in the mountains and sent some to you. The lungs and intestines have not been cleaned yet, so you can deal with them yourselves."
After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about his family's reaction.
As a son, he should show filial piety to his parents, and that's enough.
"Second brother!" The eldest brother Gao Mingpeng shouted. Gao Mingcheng heard it but ignored it.
"Dad, the second brother has such a bad temper, it's really annoying! I wanted to stop him and ask him why he hit Gao Ren. Dad, I think Gao Ren really couldn't take it anymore! The second brother was too cruel!"
Behind him, he heard the complaints of his elder brother and his father. Even though Gao Mingcheng had walked far away, he could still hear it clearly.
Gao Yuanjian frowned, also looking unhappy, but when he heard about his eldest son Gao Ren, he still said, "Don't worry about it. Gao Ren's family didn't dare to come to our house to make trouble, so they are in the wrong! The second son didn't admit in public that he was the one who beat him, so don't admit it for him!"
After all, Gao Yuanjian had been a team leader and was now the deputy director of the village committee. He was much more experienced in looking at and doing things than Gao Mingpeng.
Even if he disliked this naughty second son, in front of outsiders, they were still a family and had to protect each other.
"I won't tell anyone outside." Gao Mingpeng defended himself.
"Forget it, let's not talk about the second brother. He's grown up and has become wild at heart, so let him do whatever he wants! You guys, go and clean the lungs and intestines! Once they're clean, ask your mother to cook them and eat them. The good meat can be saved for tomorrow." Gao Yuanjian gave the order and sat there without moving, smoking a homemade cigarette.
Gao Mingpeng took a look at the things left by Gao Mingcheng and didn't want to move them, so he looked at the third brother, who immediately pretended to have back pain.
Finally, Gao Mingpeng called his wife to do it.
Huang Su'e curled her lips and glanced towards the kitchen. She saw Luo Xiaohua cooking and Gao Shufang making a fire. Although she was reluctant, she still took it aside to deal with it.
The reason is simple: she is craving for meat!
The Gao family was very satisfied with the dinner, and their dissatisfaction with Gao Mingcheng even lessened.
They also talked about Gao Mingcheng, and they all hoped that Gao Mingcheng could get more game to eat.
Gao Mingcheng, the center of discussion, is also enjoying his meal. Today's dinner is very rich, with stir-fried rabbit meat, green vegetables, and soup made from the heart and liver of yellow muntjac.
Gao Mingcheng scooped a spoonful of broth for Grandma Xi, with more meat and less broth, "Grandma Xi, eat more, it will nourish your body!"
"Oh, okay." The grandmother smiled so hard that her teeth were showing and her face was full of joy.
A long time ago, she wished Gao Mingcheng was her grandson.
Gao Zhuang listens to Gao Mingcheng very much, and this is also because of his grandmother. His grandmother often reminds Gao Zhuang to play with Gao Mingcheng and listen to Gao Mingcheng, because Gao Mingcheng is a righteous man and he will not suffer any loss by following him.
"Delicious!" Gao Zhuang's mouth was full of oil. He had enjoyed eating meat to his heart's content these past few days.
Rabbit meat, pheasant meat, pork, and now even muntjac meat is available!
And there was a pot of meat stewing in the pot on the stove!
Grandma didn't want them to eat too much of the meat at one meal, but Gao Mingcheng found an excuse, saying that it would be stewed and given to many people to enjoy.
When Grandma Xi heard this, she didn't say much.
After eating and drinking, the grandmother started to worry about Gao Mingcheng again. She said, "Mingcheng, you sold the prey to Gao Shouwang last time. Now that you have caught a yellow muntjac, you can sell some to him. You can take the rest to the county town to sell. You can get a good price there."
Gao Mingcheng frowned. He didn't want to sell the muntjac meat.
There wasn't much meat to begin with, and I gave his family two pounds of meat. There were also three pounds of good meat and yellow muntjac stewing in the pot, so there wasn't much good meat left.
Seeing his reluctance, the grandmother advised him earnestly: "If you eat the meat, it will be gone, but if you save the money, it will be of great use!"
"Since you want to marry Xuanyuemei, you have to save money to buy wedding things, right? You can't get married empty-handed."
"Your family's situation... probably doesn't allow us to give you much money for your wedding. You have to think more about yourself! Mingcheng, there is still an empty room in my house. After you get married, you can live here. When you have money to buy a house, you can move out."
Every word that the grandmother said was for Gao Mingcheng's benefit, which made Gao Mingcheng quite moved.
But, it's ok for him to live alone at his grandmother's house now, but after he gets married, he can't continue to live here.
He had a plan in mind, but there was no need to speak it out now.
Finally, in order to reassure his grandmother, he decided to take a piece of yellow muntjac meat to Gao Shouwang's house to have a look. If Gao Shouwang was willing to take it, he would sell him a few kilograms.
After he carried the meat out of the house, the grandmother was satisfied and stopped talking about it.
