Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 270 A Meal With a Harmonious Atmosphere
In some places, the elderly celebrate their birthdays and organize banquets, but Gaojia Village seldom organizes banquets for birthdays.

Firstly, this is related to the local economic level, and secondly, there is a superstitious saying that the older you are, the more you should live quietly and not make it public, so as not to be seduced by little ghosts.

Grandma Gao didn't serve wine, but her family gathered for a meal. Of course, today's dishes will definitely be better than usual.

When Gao Mingcheng passed by with a lot of beauty, he could smell the strong smell of meat. He didn't need to see the real thing, Gao Mingcheng knew that it was braised pork!

Last year, the family didn’t pull wires or buy light bulbs, but this year there are light bulbs. The lights in the main room are on, and the lights in the kitchen are also on. The whole small courtyard is illuminated by lights, which is a little softer than before.

There was laughter and laughter in the room, teasing Gao Mingcheng's eldest nephew.

Gao Mingpeng's son is almost eight months old, and he has gradually become more playful, and he can get some fun by teasing the child.

As the old saying goes, sit up and down, and now the child can sit up and down, and knows to ask for snacks and toys, and giggles when teased.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, you are here!" Gao Shufang had sharp eyes, saw them, and immediately shouted loudly.

Everyone in the room looked towards Gao Mingcheng and the others.

Gao Mingcheng came to celebrate grandma's birthday, of course he didn't come empty-handed, but because he got the news temporarily, he couldn't prepare in advance.

After thinking about it, he found a new set of padded clothes that Grandma Gao could wear from Dong Feixia, and took this as a birthday present.

This set of clothes is going to be sold in the county, so the materials and workmanship are very good, and it can be sold as a gift.

Gao Mingcheng looked around, but he didn't see Gao Mingwan. Gao Mingwan was in the county today, but he was going to run a long distance tomorrow.

Apparently he might have forgotten grandma's birthday too, so he didn't come back on purpose.

As for Gao Mingli, that's not there, after all, he's working in the county right now, so he doesn't have so much free time.

"You guys came at the right time, you only need the last dish before you can eat." Gao Shufang said with a smile, and then she was ready to set the table and chopsticks.

Gao Mingcheng gave the new clothes to Grandma Gao, and said a few words of blessing.

Grandma Gao looked at the new clothes with a slightly excited expression. She was used to hard times in her life, but she never expected to be able to wear such beautiful clothes at the end of the day.

She stroked the clothes, feeling the softness and comfort of the fabric.

It's just that the skin on her hands is extremely rough, the softer the fabric, the more it brings out the roughness of her skin.

Fortunately, this is pure cotton clothes. If it is silk, the silk will be wasted when touched by such rough fingers.

The meals were quickly set up, and the whole family sat down one after another.

Although Gao Mingwan and Gao Mingli were missing, the entire table was full.There are six dishes on the table, including braised pork, garlic scrambled eggs and other dishes.

Gao Mingpeng's son also has a separate dish, which is steamed eggs.

The steamed eggs are steamed on top of the rice. The eggs laid by the chickens are golden in color and fine in texture after steaming, just like pudding. Huang Su'e didn't eat it by herself first, but fed the child with a spoon.

Such a big child can also eat complementary food, eat some biscuits and fruits for snacks, and eat some porridge, soft rice, vegetable soup, etc. with adults for dinner.

At the table, everyone was chatting and laughing, you pushed me to eat the food, the atmosphere was quite good.

Gao Mingcheng hadn't had such a peaceful meal here for a long time, and he gradually relaxed, talking to Gao Mingpeng about what he saw and heard outside.

In his previous life, he came back from outside in 2000, started real estate in the county, and brought his brothers into this business.

In this life, he changed his life path, and under his influence, Gao Mingwan and Gao Mingli also changed their life paths, but they never expected that his eldest brother Gao Mingpeng would embark on this path early.

Gao Mingpeng is doing things for others now, but he has a heart that wants to do it alone.

In the 90s, contractors had already started to make money, and this was undoubtedly the right path.

In the eyes of his family members, Gao Mingcheng was promising, so his salary was improved. Gao Yuanjian no longer flirted with him, and Luo Xiaohua stopped nagging him. The whole atmosphere was harmonious!
"Mingcheng, Mingli came back a few days ago, and discussed with me whether to continue working in the sugar factory or learn to drive from you." After the meal, Gao Yuanjian called Gao Mingcheng aside to talk.

Smelling the strong smoky smell on Gao Yuanjian's body, Gao Mingcheng frowned.

His father is a heavy smoker, his elder brother is also a heavy smoker, and his eldest nephew grew up surrounded by smoke, and started to smoke when he was ten years old. When he was fourteen or five years old, he became very addicted to smoking. up.

All cigarette packs say 'smoking is harmful to health', but all smokers ignore that sentence.

Gao Yuanjian puffed hard, the cigarette butt burned quickly, and it was clearly bright in the dark.

Then he spit out a mouthful of thick smoke.

"Mingcheng, what do you think?" Gao Yuanjian looked at Gao Mingcheng while smoking.

Gao Mingcheng resisted the idea of ​​persuasion because he knew that his persuasion would not work.

Gao Mingcheng said: "It doesn't matter what I think, the key is to see what Mingli thinks. If Mingli wants to be stable, working in a sugar factory is not bad. If Mingli wants to make more money, then learn to drive."

"As for the driver, it's a good thing to say, and it does make money, but there are also risks and hardships. As for this point, Ming Wan must have said it."

Gao Mingcheng's attitude is obvious, that is, he does not want to participate too much in other people's life choices.

He only gives one chance, how to choose, that is someone else's business.

Gao Yuanjian frowned, he didn't expect to get no useful advice from Gao Mingcheng.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Mingli hasn't made a choice yet, he plans to work in the sugar factory first, and then talk about it later."

"Oh." Gao Mingcheng was not surprised by this.

Gao Mingli is not a person who dares to dare to fight, otherwise he has a classmate who is a top student, and with the help of a classmate who is a top student, he can be admitted to a technical secondary school or high school.

As the night darkened, Gao Mingcheng didn't stay here for long. After greeting Grandma Gao, he returned home with a lot of beauty.

There is no moon tonight, Gaojia Village naturally has no street lights, the road is dark, and the path is not completely flat. It is okay to walk during the day, but it is easy to step on the ground at night.

Gao Mingcheng made preparations in advance and brought a flashlight.

After the flashlight was turned on, a beam of light projected out, reflecting on the ground in front of it as a deformed circular light spot.

As he swayed while walking, the beam of light also swayed.

After leaving the old village, the surrounding became more and more quiet, only the rustling sound brought by the mountain wind blowing through the treetops.

Because it is winter, even the chirping of birds and insects is less.

Gao Mingcheng intertwined fingers with Duomi, walking on the road without people, Duomi smiled and said, "It's a good thing I have you, otherwise I would be afraid if I walk this road alone."

Gao Mingcheng held her hand tighter, and said, "When the store opens in the future, you will live in the county in the future. I may not be there often. If you live alone, will you be afraid?"

Hearing the words, Many Mei frowned and stopped talking.

She was a little scared, but she didn't say anything.

When she was in Gaojia Village, she hoped that Gao Mingcheng would be here to accompany her all the time, but if she went to the county, she would hope that Gao Mingcheng would always be with her in the county.

But her rationality told her that this was impossible. The family had fields, land, livestock, and a small Toyama mountain that had just been contracted and hadn't been developed yet. Gao Mingcheng had too many things to do.

　Don't stay up late today, the next chapter will be written tomorrow during the day.Good night.
