Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Maozi always felt that he was like a grass, inconspicuous, but with tenacious vitality. When he was a child, he relied on the feeding of his neighbors and survived with difficulty. Later, he relied on deception and abduction to not only support himself, but also support his younger brother.

after that……

After Maozi woke up and looked at the unfamiliar house, his first thought was to get out of here quickly.

He didn't know whether the monkey had been caught or where he was. At this time, there was only one word in his mind: escape.

Escape home!

It was already daylight, but there was no one in the room. At this time, he was lying naked on the bed, and his clothes were placed on the fire cage. The brazier in the middle of the fire cage had been extinguished, but the wet clothes had also been dried.

Mao Zi tiptoed out of bed and quickly put on his clothes. He touched his pockets and found that they were empty. The pair of carved silver bracelets that he had placed before were gone.

He didn't know if it was lost while he was running or if it was taken away by someone, but he didn't care about that at this time. He carefully poked his head out and observed the situation outside. When he saw no one around, he immediately Left quickly.

It was also his luck that this shabby guy didn't even meet anyone and quickly moved away.

When his rescuer came in with a bowl of rice porridge, he saw that the person on the bed had disappeared.

Two hours later, Maozi finally reached a town, where he bought some food, asked for directions, and then continued walking toward home.

These days, it is not easy to take a bus. Except for the shuttle buses on the main lines, if you want to take a bus, you can only try your luck. If you encounter a vehicle on the road and stop it, the other party will be willing to take you for a ride. Then you have a car to ride on.

At first, Maozi thought that his pair of silver bracelets had been taken away, but later he found that the money sewn in his crotch was still there, so the silver bracelets were most likely dropped during the escape, and fell there. Most likely in streams.

Otherwise, why would others only take away the silver bracelet but not his money?

You know, the pair of silver bracelets have turned black and look very ordinary. However, Maozi has been dealing with antiques for a long time. He roughly guessed that the silver bracelets should be from the Qing Dynasty, so they can be considered antiques. This time I went In the provincial capital, he just wanted to look for opportunities to see if he could find someone willing to buy the silver bracelet at a high price.

pity……

Die before leaving the army!

In this way, Maozi walked along the road, stopping and walking, until he met a tractor and the other party was willing to take him for a ride. Then he got on the vehicle and had a rest.

At this time, the young man wearing a peaked cap had already arrived at Jiuyangji by car.

Naturally, he came here to find Mao Zi, but by some mistake, the two of them were perfectly separated.

……

The closer to the New Year, the more people come to call.

There are public telephones in big cities, but in small cities like theirs, there are no public telephones installed yet, so if you want to make a call, you can only go to the place where the landline is installed.

Gao Mingcheng's clothing store installed a landline phone. Since the installation, people have been coming to borrow the phone to make calls. Of course, this is not for free, but for a fee.

Gao Mingcheng himself didn't use the phone very often, so he was willing to spend a lot of money to install it just for the sake of convenience.

Because calling is expensive, people will not call easily unless they really need to. Even if they call, they will finish the matter within a minute or two and then hang up quickly.

Because landline phones at this time did not have screen timers, someone needed to keep an eye on the watch to time the call when making a call, so that charging could be facilitated.

Sometimes Gao Mingcheng found it annoying, but the women at home felt that it would be nice to make a little more, and they would be happy to have someone to call.

If the business in the store is not busy, it is also very interesting to listen to other people's phone calls.

In a sense, doing business is similar to going to jail. You stay in the same place all day. Once the store door opens, people can't move around, so it is necessary to listen to some gossip and have some fun for yourself.

Gao Mingcheng thought this was reasonable, so he welcomed the neighbors to call him. Sometimes when the phone rang, it was the neighbors who were calling, and they were willing to call out.

That day, the phone rang. Gao Mingcheng picked up the phone and put it to his ear. Just as he was about to feed him as usual, Gao Shouwang's urgent voice sounded over there.

"Is it Mingcheng? I'm Gao Shouwang!"

"Uncle Shouwang, it's me. You called me. What's the matter?" Gao Mingcheng asked immediately.

Since Gao Shouwang also installed a telephone, it has become easier for Gao Mingcheng to know what is happening in the village.

Sometimes when Zhang Chengyuan and Chen Dasong need to be arranged to do something, they don't have to drive back themselves. Instead, they just make a phone call and ask Gao Shouwang to help pass on the message.

Gao Shouwang on the other side of the phone said: "Mingcheng, the weather has been cold recently! Many people in the village are sick, especially the elderly and children. Your grandma has been sick recently and she doesn't look good. The tall grandma is also sick. Well, I thought you had a good relationship with her, so I called you specifically to let you know. As for you, if you have time, come back and see her."

Upon hearing this, Gao Mingcheng frowned, and he immediately said: "I'll go back now! Uncle Shouwang, thank you."

"Hey, what can you say thank you to me for? That's it. I have a lot of things in my workshop and I'm busy right now."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Mingcheng looked at his watch. It was not too early, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

But now that he knew the news, he still wanted to rush back as soon as possible to see if he could take the person to the county hospital for treatment.

Their village is remote, and there is only one health center in Junling nearby. There is only one barefoot doctor in the health center. This barefoot doctor can treat basic diseases, and can also perform abortions and sterilizations. These are all trained in the county. , but if you want to get the relevant certificate after training, you need to spend more than ten yuan to get it, but the barefoot doctor is not willing to spend this money, so he is practicing medicine without a license.

Gao Mingcheng told Duomei and the others about the matter. Hearing that Grandma Gao and Grandma Xi were both sick, Duomei and Gao Shufang were anxious.

Gao Shufang said quickly: "Second brother, go back and take a look. Grandma is old, so you have to be careful."

Many Meizi said: "My grandma has always been in good health. It should be just a minor illness and nothing serious."

Gao Mingcheng nodded, knowing that Duo Mei was comforting himself.

To him, his grandma is just like his own grandma, oh no, even closer than his own grandma!

Gao Mingcheng quickly dressed up and prepared to drive the tractor back to the village. Before leaving, he specially picked up some spare medicines. These medicines are Western medicines and Chinese patent medicines, which can treat colds, fevers and other illnesses.

Watching Gao Mingcheng leave in a hurry, Duo Mei looked at Gao Shufang and comforted her: "Don't worry, grandma will be fine. Mingcheng is back, so don't worry."

Gao Shufang nodded.

She has full trust in her second brother.

The second brother is capable, decisive, and willing to spend money. Once he feels that grandma's condition is not good, he will definitely go to the county hospital to see a doctor. In Gao Shufang's impression, as long as she enters the hospital, nothing major will happen. She has full confidence in the doctors at the People's Hospital.

It didn't snow today, but the wind blowing in our face was very cold, and there was still some snow that had not melted in the grass beside the road.

Gao Mingcheng felt the cold wind blowing, but his heart was a little hot. He drove non-stop, hoping to get back to the village as soon as possible.

But just when he arrived at Junling and was about to turn and walk towards another path, he suddenly saw someone in front of him waving his arms excitedly and shouting something heartbreakingly at him.

Gao Mingcheng's five senses were sharp. Even though the other party was far away and his voice was hoarse and blown away by the cold wind, he could still hear the other party calling his name.

"Brother Mingcheng!"

Gao Mingcheng quickly braked and looked at the man carefully.

"Maozi?" After recognizing who that person was, Gao Mingcheng was a little surprised.

"Maozi, where are you going? Why are you walking instead of taking a car?" Gao Mingcheng stepped on the accelerator and drove the tractor in front of Maozi.

In the cold wind, Maozi's face was red from the cold, the skin of his lips was dry and cracked, and his eyes were bloodshot, which showed that he was in bad condition at first glance.

"Brother Mingcheng..." Mao Zi spoke excitedly, his voice hoarse, and tears flowed from his eyes.

Dear! He finally met his family!

Seeing him like this, Gao Mingcheng didn't think it was a good time to ask questions, so he said, "I'm going back to the village now. You can get in the car and follow me back to the village first. If you need anything, we'll talk about it later."

Maozi nodded excitedly and quickly climbed into the carport.

He was like a lonely soul that had been struggling in the desert for a long time, and now he could finally rest in peace.

It only took ten minutes to drive a tractor from Junling to Gaojia Village. Ten minutes later, the tractor stopped by the pond in Gaojia Village.

Gao Mingcheng got off the car and came to the carport.

Maozi hadn't spoken since he got in the car, which made him a little worried. But now that he saw it, he was shocked again.

Maozi actually curled up in the carriage and fell asleep!

Maybe it can also be said that he fainted?

Gao Mingcheng took off his gloves and reached out to touch his forehead. The hot temperature even made his palms feel burning.

"F*ck!" Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but cursed. Looking at Mao Zi's embarrassment, he knew that something must have happened to Mao Zi without asking.

Now that a person is sick and is touched by him again, he cannot ignore it.

Gao Mingcheng thought for a moment, then simply took off his military coat, covered Mao Zi with it, and let him sleep here for a while. As for himself, he had to go and see the situation of Grandma Xixi and Grandma Gao. If they were in good condition, If it is serious and they need to go to the county hospital for treatment, then they will be picked up and returned to the county immediately.

Gao Mingcheng walked quickly towards Grandma Xi's home. Before he entered the house, he heard a cough.

"Grandma, let you rest, why are you twisting the hemp rope again?" He Xiuman's voice came from the room, with helplessness in her voice.

Grandma Xiao said with a smile: "It's not tiring to rub hemp rope. It's also free to be idle! Xiuman, go out and don't let your illness go to you. Also, don't let Xiao Yuanyuan get hurt these days." If you enter my house, you will get better!"

He Xiuman had no choice but to say: "I know, I won't let Xiao Yuanyuan come in. Grandma, please drink the honey water first. It will make your throat feel better. This honey was sent by Ming Cheng before."

Grandma Xin drank half a bowl of honey water as she was told. After drinking it, her throat, which had been dry and itchy, felt a little better.

At this time, Gao Mingcheng had already strode into the room. As he walked, he said, "Grandma, I am Mingcheng. I heard that you are not feeling well, so I came to see you."

Gao Mingcheng took long steps, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was already standing next to Grandma Xi. He stretched out his hand and touched Grandma Xi's forehead.

There is a little bit of fever, but it's okay. Based on his experience, it's just a low fever at most.

Gao Mingcheng asked: "Grandma, besides coughing, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?"

Grandma Xi did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Gao Mingcheng with surprise on her face, and said, "Why do you come back all the time for a minor illness? You are so busy with business! Making money is important!"

Gao Mingcheng said with a smile: "Isn't making money just for spending money? Only when your life is better, making money will be worthwhile! Grandma Xi, you haven't said where else you feel uncomfortable?"

Grandma Xi was helpless, she couldn't defeat Gao Mingcheng anyway.

At this time, He Xiuman intervened and said: "Grandma had a cough and felt uncomfortable the day before yesterday. She had no appetite all day yesterday, and she even had diarrhea in the evening. She also had no appetite today, but because she ate bitter oak powder, she felt better No more diarrhea.”

Everything in the world is useful. For example, Kusizizi cannot be eaten directly, but after a series of treatments, it can be made into Kuaishou tofu. After Kusizizi is ground into powder, it can also be used to stop diarrhea.

Gao Mingcheng asked again: "Have you gone to see a doctor?"

He Xiuman said: "Yesterday, Gao Zhuang originally said that he would take grandma to see a doctor, but grandma said that she was not energetic and wanted to sleep, thinking that she would be better after a sleep, but she still didn't get better. She was sent to the health center this morning. I also brought some medicine back."

At this time, Grandma Xi said quickly: "I really have nothing to do, you are just worrying about it! I am in good health. Anyone can have this headache, brain fever, and I will be fine after a few days of rest."

Grandma Xi then said: "Mingcheng, have you visited your grandma? I think her condition is much more serious than mine! You'd better go and see her quickly!"

Hearing that Grandma Xi drove him away, Gao Mingcheng carefully looked at Grandma Xi's energy and energy, and felt that it shouldn't be a big problem, so he said, "Okay, I'll go see Grandma."

In her previous life, Grandma Xiao's body had always been strong, but it was the news of Gao Zhuang's death that completely crushed the old man.

But Grandma Gao was different. She was older than Grandma X, and her physical fitness was not as good as Grandma X. Especially after she broke her leg, her energy and energy became exhausted.

Gao Mingcheng left in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts for them, so he had to go home empty-handed.

The courtyard door was open, and only Gao Yuanjian was sitting under the eaves, smoking a cigarette.

The cigarette butt was clearly extinguished, and the smoke was curling upwards. The smoke puffed out from Gao Yuan's nose was a large cloud, appearing quickly and dissipating quickly.

"Dad, I heard that grandma is sick. I came to see her." After entering the house, Gao Mingcheng greeted Gao Yuanyuan first.

Gao Yuan was not surprised to see Gao Mingcheng back, because he deliberately told Gao Shouwang about Gao Nainai's illness. (End of chapter)
