Chapter 65 Helping to collect firewood

Author: Xianfeng Yingxiu

People often use the term "girl in bloom" to describe young and beautiful girls, and many beauties at the age of seventeen are just girls in their bloom.

Because she is from a rural area, her skin is not as fair as that of people in the city, but it is also delicate and smooth. Her fingers are a little rough, but she is still young and tender.

Most of the clothes that Duomei wore before were leftovers from her three sisters, so the fabrics looked old and the styles were old-fashioned. It was because of her youth and beauty that she didn't look gray.

Now that I'm wearing brand new clothes with floral florals on a white background, my whole person seems to be glowing, with a vitality coming out from the inside out.

This is her joy, a joy that cannot be concealed.

She almost walked over on her feet. When she walked in front of Gao Mingcheng, she first smiled shyly at him, and then turned around in a circle so that Gao Mingcheng could appreciate the beauty of the entire outfit.

Gao Mingcheng had seen this dress before and thought there was nothing wrong with it, but now that the dress is worn on many beauties, he thinks it looks really good!

The sleeves and trouser legs are both designed with lotus leaf sleeves, which is similar to the recently popular bell-bottom pants, but not as exaggerated as bell-bottom pants, and has an extra feminine touch.

"It looks good! The size is also suitable!" Gao Mingcheng praised without hesitation, his eyes full of appreciation.

Duo Mei pursed her lips and smiled, bowing her head slightly shyly.

When he lowered his head, Gao Mingcheng saw that many beautiful women were using only the cheapest rubber bands for their hair. He suddenly realized that he had not bought everything. The next time he went to the county town, he would have to buy some more rubber bands and hairpins to tie his hair. In addition,

I also had to buy a bottle of cream to apply on my face.

Another thing, you also need to buy a pair of shoes!

Gao Mingcheng's eyes passed over many beautiful feet. When he was wearing old clothes, he didn't feel that the shoes he was wearing now were too old and almost worn out.

He was thinking about it in his mind, but he didn't rush to say it out loud.

The two sat in the shade of a tree and talked for a while. Gao Mingcheng took out another book and took a test on the words Duomei. These words were all taught by him before. When he asked, Duomei took the test seriously.

Really answer, almost all answers are correct.

Gao Mingcheng was very satisfied with this, so he taught many beautiful words and explained the content of a text.

"Gao Yue lent me some martial arts novels. After I finish reading them, I will lend them to you to read. Most of these martial arts novels are written by authors from Wanwan, Xiangjiang. Reading them will broaden your horizons." Gao Ming

Cheng said that he originally wanted to increase Duo Mei's reading. Although martial arts novels are not the best reading materials, they are not bad and can enrich Duo Mei's entertainment.

"Is it the same as "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties"?" Many beauties blinked, curiosity and expectation revealed in their eyes.

Although her home did not have a radio, she had listened to the storytelling of "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" several times at other people's homes.

"Yes, but there are a lot of new words in the book, and you may not understand them well. If you encounter a word you don't know, just write it down. I will teach you when I am free, or you can guess the word based on the context.

The meaning of the word.”

"Okay." Duo Mei nodded obediently, like a well-behaved student reassuring the teacher.

While the two of them were talking, time passed quietly, and the western sky was silently filled with the glow of the setting sun.

Duo Mei looked up at the sky, uttered an ouch, and suddenly looked panicked.

"What time is it now? I'm afraid it's five or six o'clock, right? Oh no, I came back to dry vegetables and collect firewood for cooking! Oh no, no, no, when my second sister comes back, I'll have to be scolded again!" A lot!

Mei said, almost crying.

She anxiously walked around, wanting to pick up firewood, then wanting to cook the rice in the kitchen.

As the saying goes, when farmers have little leisure time, they need to work hard every day in order to survive.

Gao Mingcheng couldn't see her being so panicked, so he immediately took her hand and said calmly: "Don't worry, you go cook, and I'll collect firewood!"

Many beauties looked at him as if they were looking at their backbone, and their panicked hearts calmed down instantly.

She nodded and said yes.

She ran to the kitchen, but when she came to the kitchen door, she ran back to the room. When she came out again, she had changed out of new clothes and put on old clothes.

New clothes were precious, and she couldn't bear to wear them in the kitchen and get them dirty.

Gao Mingcheng took out his watch from his trouser pocket and checked the time. It was already a quarter past five. Although it was not early, it was still an hour before the villagers had dinner.

People in their village have dinner between about 6:30 and 7:30. Some people may have dinner a little later, but no later than 8:00.

Because after a busy day, people get hungry quickly and need to eat in time.

Collecting firewood is not just a matter of picking it up wherever you want. The low hills around the village are allocated to everyone. If you want to collect firewood, you can only go to the hill where you live. If you go

If you hit someone else's mountain, you'll have to fight.

But firewood is something we need every day. In fact, our own mountain cannot supply all the firewood, so every household has to find ways to go to the mountains to get firewood. Some people even steal firewood from other people’s homes.

Firewood, thus causing conflicts between the two parties.

Gao Mingcheng was a fast runner, so he naturally chose to go to the mountains to get firewood.

He ran all the way into the mountains, successfully found dry branches, picked them up with his hands and feet, and tied them with a vine.

When he lowered his head to collect firewood, he heard a rustling sound in the bushes around him, so he picked up a stone and looked up towards the place where the sound was coming from.

In the bushes covered with thorns, a few pheasants fled away.

However, just when they thought they were safe, a stone struck them with great force.

With a "Bang!", one pheasant fell down, and the other pheasant flapped its wings and flew away quickly.

Gao Mingcheng successfully shot a pheasant, feeling slightly happy in his heart.

He walked around the bush full of thorns and picked up the pheasant that had fallen on the ground. The pheasant was not completely dead yet, and he did not twist its neck in a hurry. He would cut the neck and bleed it when he returned, so that the meat would taste better.

When he bent down to pick up pheasants, he happened to see a nest of pheasants in the bush. It seemed that this was the territory of these pheasants, but they were frightened by him and ran away in panic.

Gao Mingcheng lowered his body and reached out to pick up the eggs. Even though he was careful, he was pricked several times by thorns.

But the hard work paid off, and I got five eggs in total.

It was getting late, so he didn't stay in the mountains for long. He put the pheasant eggs into his trouser pocket, then hurried down the mountain with a bundle of firewood in one hand and a pheasant in the other.

He returned to Duomei's home, where Duomei was washing and chopping vegetables. Although there was not enough firewood at home, it was enough to cook the rice.

"Duomei, I've prepared the firewood for you and I'll put it here. Now, I also picked up a few pheasants. Hide them and eat them yourself!" Gao Mingcheng handed the pheasants to Duomei as well, leaving aside the pheasants.

Giving her a lot of beauty is equivalent to giving it to her second sister and her family. She might as well take it back and eat it herself.
