Chapter 100 Let's go to the county
When Gao Yue came, Gao Mingcheng was digging the ground with a hoe.
He chose this place for his homestead. It is a bit remote, but there are many wastelands around it. As long as he is willing to cultivate it, it doesn't matter how many vegetables he grows.
"Gao Mingcheng!" Gao Yue got off the bicycle, parked it on the side of the road, and walked towards Gao Mingcheng.
"Gao Yue? Why are you here? Is today a holiday?" Life was too leisurely and there was no need to go to school or work, so Gao Mingcheng didn't even know what day it was today.
Gao Yue was wearing a black down jacket and a pair of sneakers, and he didn't fit in with the villagers.
"Of course it's a holiday today, otherwise why would I come to the village?" Gao Yue glared at Gao Mingcheng unhappily, then looked at the house being renovated not far away and said, "Is this the house you built? It doesn't look very big!"
"It doesn't matter how big it is, as long as it's enough. Are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water." Gao Mingcheng went to the simple kitchen and poured a glass of water for Gao Yue in a cup.
Gao Yue drank the drink gulply. Although the weather was getting colder, he was still a little thirsty after riding all the way.
"Gao Mingcheng, my dad asked me to come and tell you to go to the county when you have time. The person he introduced to you last time wants to ask you something."
After drinking the water, Gao Yue explained the purpose of his visit.
Gao Mingcheng was stunned at first, then he remembered who the person Gao Yue was talking about.
It’s Su Tong, the director of the agricultural machinery factory that is about to go bankrupt!
Gao Mingcheng only met Su Tong once, but that time he instilled the concept of joint venture into Su Tong.
After that, he has been busy with village affairs and has not been to the county for almost a month.
But now Su Tong wants to find him, what could be going on?
Gao Mingcheng was a little curious. Besides, Gao Guobing had asked Gao Yue to come to the village to inform him, so he had to give him this face.
"Okay, it's late today, I will go to the county tomorrow morning. Come, I'll show you my house!" Gao Mingcheng took Gao Yue to visit his new home.
In Gao Yue's eyes, the house was indeed simple, but because it was Gao Mingcheng's house, he was also very interested in it and looked at it with relish.
Then he looked up at the lush Niuwei Ridge.
Gao Yue, who also grew up in the village, was naturally very familiar with Niuweiling. He also heard from his father that the ancient tomb was located in the deep mountains of Niuweiling.
Gao Yue suddenly approached Gao Mingcheng and whispered, "Gao Mingcheng, my dad said he got a box gun of decent quality and asked if you want it. If you want it, he'll leave it to you. In addition, there's a good-quality bird gun in the warehouse of the bureau. The bird gun has been improved and does not require ignition to ignite the cannon. It uses lead bullets."
"When I have winter vacation, take me into the mountains to hunt! My dad said you are good at getting prey." Gao Yue's tone was full of anticipation.
Gao Mingcheng did not refuse, but said: "Then please keep an eye out for me. I want to buy a better hunting dog. Without a hunting dog, hunting in the mountains will be much more tiring, and there may not be any harvest at the end of the day."
Gao Yue also knew the role of hunting dogs, so he patted his chest and indicated that he would take care of the matter.
Gao Mingcheng originally wanted to find a suitable hunting dog himself, but he couldn't find one nearby. In addition, he had a lot of things to do recently and had no time to go out to look for one.
Now that Gao Yue has come to me, I can just hand this matter over to him.
Gao Yue was quite excited at the thought of being able to go hunting in the mountains with Gao Mingcheng in the future. He immediately took Gao Mingcheng for a walk around the foot of the mountain.
Gao Mingcheng accompanied him for a walk and let him have lunch with the craftsmen here. After a short rest, Gao Yue asked to go back.
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. Gao Yue came here by bike, and it would take some time to get back to the county, so he had to set off early.
After seeing Gao Yue off, Gao Mingcheng went into the mountains by himself. This time, he held a brand new javelin in his hand.
The javelin had been taken back from the blacksmith. After taking it back, Gao Mingcheng practiced throwing it with the javelin. He aimed at a tree and threw it over and over again until it pierced the same spot every time and the tree was broken.
Although he has mastered it, Gao Mingcheng has never used it to hunt.
Gao Mingcheng has to go to the county tomorrow, and he doesn't want to go empty-handed, so he wants to shoot a yellow muntjac.
Winter is the time to nourish the body, and eating yellow muntjac is the best.
He searched in the mountains for a long time before he found the trace of the yellow muntjac. Once he found it, the next thing would be easy.
He chose a suitable position, picked up the javelin in his hand, and prepared to throw.
The lethality of a javelin is far beyond that of a small knife. As long as it hits the target, it can kill a wild boar.
He aims, lucks, and throws!
Before the yellow muntjac could sense the danger, the javelin pierced into its head with great force.
Killed with one blow.
When Gao Mingcheng carried the yellow muntjac down the mountain, it was already dark and the craftsmen had all left.
The new house had not been completely built yet, so there were no electric wires or light bulbs, so it was dark. He carried the yellow muntjac and walked towards his grandmother's house.
Until the new house was ready for him to move into, he still lived in his grandmother's house.
When she returned home, her grandmother had already cooked dinner. When she saw Gao Mingcheng coming back, she called him to come and eat quickly.
"Ming Cheng, those tea seeds are almost dry. You have to find a time to take them to the oil press to get them pressed. It will not be good if you leave them for too long." Grandma Xi reminded him at the dinner table.
Gao Mingcheng was stunned. There were so many things going on recently that he had forgotten that he still had to deal with the tea seeds.
Half of those tea seeds were cleaned out by Xi Nainai and Gao Zhuang, so Gao Mingcheng decided to give Xi Nainai a pot of tea oil after it was squeezed out.
He had lived in his grandmother's house for so long that his grandmother almost treated him as her own grandson.
"I have to go to the county tomorrow. Let's do this. I'll go and squeeze the oil the day after tomorrow." Gao Mingcheng said.
Gao Zhuang asked curiously, "Tomorrow is not the county market day, what are you going to do there?"
Without waiting for Gao Mingcheng to answer, he said, "Okay, go ahead and don't worry. I'll look after the new house for you."
During this period, Gao Zhuang also helped a lot with the new house.
"Well, thank you." Gao Mingcheng thanked him first, and then explained: "Gao Yue came to the village to find me today and said that Uncle Guo Bing asked me to go to the county. I don't know what the specific matter is yet."
Grandma Xi smiled and said, "It's a good thing, it must be a good thing! Mingcheng, you are the best at making friends. If you have a good relationship with Gao Guobing, he will definitely be able to help you in the future."
Gao Mingcheng laughed out loud, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely cheerful.
Grandma looked at Gao Mingcheng with a hint of reluctance in her eyes. She even wanted Gao Mingcheng to live at home forever, so that the home would be much more lively.
But Gao Mingcheng is an outsider after all, and he will eventually marry and have children.
Thinking that Gao Mingcheng was about to marry Xuanyuemei, Xi Nainai looked at Gao Zhuang with loving eyes.
Well, it’s time to arrange the blind date!
