Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 408: Settling the Account with Gao Shufang
Color TVs are difficult to buy, but black-and-white TVs are not difficult to buy, and they are available in stores in the county.

In the 50s, there were already black and white TVs. Nowadays, the productivity of black and white TVs has increased, and rich people have switched to color TVs. So as long as you have money, you can buy a black and white TV. go home.

Gao Shufang led her parents to choose a TV set, and finally chose one with the same size as the one given by Gao Mingcheng before.

The Panda brand 14-inch black and white TV cost 470 yuan.

Along with the TV, there are also antenna equipment, all of which Luo Xiaohua holds tightly in his hands.

Gao Yuanyuan was riding a bicycle, while Luo Xiaohua was sitting behind with something in her arms. Although she was a woman, she had considerable strength in her hands.

Gao Shufang was quite worried and said with concern: "Mom, sit still and don't fall!"

With a smile on his face, Luo Xiaohua said confidently: "Even if I fall, I won't let the TV fall!"

The tone in which she said these words was very similar to what the exquisite girls of later generations would say - the one who protects others is the one who protects the dead.

After Gao Shufang saw her parents off, she returned to the clothing store.

When she came back, Luo Li said, "You came back just in time. I was just about to go to the backyard to cook."

"Then you go ahead and I'll come and see the store."

The lunch meal is not cooked by a fixed person. Usually Gao Shufang and Luo Li take turns. Now that Hu Yinchen is here, sometimes Hu Yinchen will come downstairs to cook. She mainly takes care of the expectant mothers. The soup I ate during confinement was watery.

Under Hu Yinchen's care, Duo Mei felt relaxed. Apart from breastfeeding, she hardly had to do anything. A few days after giving birth, Duo Mei lay on the bed honestly, but when her body was almost recovered, she I couldn't sit still and wanted to start working.

But they were all stopped by Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng knew that many beauties suffered from postpartum syndrome in their previous lives. She often had a sinking feeling in her lower abdomen, could not stand for long periods of time, and was prone to back pain.

So in this life, he hopes that many beauties will no longer suffer from confinement sickness.

Gao Mingcheng watched Hu Yinchen wash Xiao Xuxu's buttocks. This little kid had too much poop and urine, and his skin was so tender. Wiping it with paper would scratch the skin, and he couldn't wipe it all clean, so he had to wash his buttocks several times a day. .

Gao Mingcheng saw that his son's little buttocks were red, and immediately said: "There is tea oil at home, let me go down below and get some."

Hu Yinchen said: "It's better to buy talcum powder. Apply the powder on the child's armpits and thighs to prevent the skin from getting rotten."

Gao Mingcheng looked at his well-behaved little son and refused the request: "I heard that talcum powder is not good for the body, so I don't use it anymore. If you have sweaty armpits, wear one less piece of clothing. Although it is winter, you can stay in it all day." It’s not much colder in the room.”

In his previous life, there was a lot of news about talcum powder causing cancer. Gao Mingcheng didn't know whether it was true or not, but it was groundless, so he might as well not use it if he could.

Hu Yinchen was stunned and said subconsciously: "Who did you listen to? We all use talcum powder for our children, otherwise the children will be covered in prickly heat in the summer!"

Gao Mingcheng was noncommittal.

Why do I get prickly heat?
After all, it’s still hot.

If you can bathe and change clothes frequently and maintain a comfortable environment, you won't get prickly heat at all, and naturally you won't need talcum powder.

Thinking like this, he made up his mind not to use talcum powder for his child.

Hu Yinchen had no choice but to do whatever the host said.

So Gao Mingcheng went downstairs to get tea oil.

When he saw Gao Shufang coming back, he immediately asked: "Shufang, what did you do just now?"

Gao Mingcheng had sharp eyes. He had seen Gao Shufang take money when she returned home.

It's just that Gao Shufang was in a hurry and the money was her own, so she didn't stop it immediately.

But you have to ask afterward.

If this child is sold, how many people will pay for it?

Gao Shufang was in a good mood because she saw the satisfaction on her parents' faces.

When they went to buy a TV today, they also bought a color film for the TV. They said that if they put the film on the screen of the TV, they would be able to see colors, which is almost the same as watching a color TV.Now when her second brother asked this question, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously, but she refused to say what she was going to do. She only said: "Second brother, don't ask."

Seeing her smile, Gao Mingcheng felt a little bit excited, and immediately had a bad feeling. Could it be that Gao Shufang had a boyfriend?

This boyfriend hasn't brought it to his second brother to check, so he spends money on the man in private?
Thinking this way, Gao Mingcheng's face turned foul.

He stared at Gao Shufang with deep eyes, making Gao Shufang feel uncomfortable. In the end, she couldn't bear the psychological pressure from his second brother, so she confessed the matter.

"Impossible!" Gao Mingcheng said sternly.

Gao Shufang was stunned and looked up at him in shock.

Gao Mingcheng calculated the accounts for her on the spot and said, "Mom and dad definitely have more than 200 yuan in their hands! It's true that dad didn't make much money last year, but this year's expenses are also small. When Mingwan gets married, most of it is for him." My parents gave me a wedding banquet, but I’m sure I won’t lose money and will make a small profit. I’ve given gifts during the holidays before, and also given some money, plus what you and Mingwan gave, they have How can it be only more than 200 yuan?"

"Besides, didn't the eldest brother do the project himself? He should have made a lot of money this year. Didn't he give money to his parents? They haven't separated yet, and they eat together. Although they do the work in the fields together, But we should also give some money, right?”

"In my estimation, my parents should have six or seven hundred dollars in their hands. The weather is going well this year, so there must be a lot of people asking dad to make wine. In one winter, you can make hundreds of dollars, plus the pig sellers money, and by the end of the year, they’ll have more money in their hands.”

Even though Gao Mingcheng didn't care much about his parents' affairs, he knew many things very well.

Gao Mingcheng looked at Gao Shufang sharply and asked seriously: "My parents want you to buy it with money, or do they want to borrow your money to buy it?"

Gao Shufang kept blinking, and her whole body was shut down.

She thought about it and realized that her parents never said the word "borrow" in the whole process.

Of course, she had never mentioned borrowing words before, or even thought about it.

On the contrary, when I saw the satisfied expressions of my parents after buying the TV, I felt particularly satisfied. It seemed that being able to honor my parents was a happy thing.

As simple as she is, she doesn't think much about it at all.

Gao Mingcheng added: "Even if you want to buy it, you should buy a second-hand TV, it can be much cheaper!"

If he hadn't happened to go to Xiangjiang and smuggled a batch of electrical appliances, Gao Mingcheng wouldn't have wanted to buy a color TV now, because color TVs are very expensive now. But in the 90s, color TVs would become easier to buy, and black and white TVs would even be more affordable. Price reduction.

Therefore, in Gao Mingcheng's view, it is not cost-effective to buy a black and white TV at a high price now.

It is better to buy a second-hand one first, and after a few years, it won’t cost much to buy a domestic color TV directly.

But the matter has come to this, and there is nothing more to say.

Although her parents are suspected of taking advantage of Gao Shufang, they are all a family, and one can be beaten while the other is willing to suffer.

"Okay, let's forget it this time. It's up to you to be filial to them, but next time you spend a lot of money like this, don't agree to it just as soon as your forehead heats up. Money is a person's courage. Only when money is in your own pocket it's the best."

Gao Mingcheng pointed out Gao Shufang. He had been brainwashing Gao Shufang before, telling her to work hard and make money. She couldn't tell others how much money she had in her pocket. If someone borrowed money, she should be more cautious.

Gao Shufang had been doing well before, and the little treasury she saved was growing day by day. Not to mention compared with the little girls in the village, even compared with the little girls in the county, she was still a rich little woman.

But now, her small coffers have been reduced by 270 yuan.

Gao Mingcheng took the tea oil and prepared to go upstairs.

Gao Shufang's mind was as messed up as paste, but when she saw her second brother turning around, she suddenly said: "Second brother, your parents came to the county and didn't come to see little Xuxu. Are you sad?"

Gao Mingcheng stopped for a few seconds, then continued walking forward, and his cold voice sounded: "I'm not sad."

In his previous life, he was wandering around, leaving many beauties alone in the village. When he gave birth to a child and took care of the child, he didn't see his parents to help him. He bought a steamed bun to eat and had to avoid his two sons.

In this life, he had just had a big fight with his father, so they didn't come to see Xiao Xuxu. That was a normal thing.

His father has a good face, and his mother likes to be supported by others. He and many beauties cannot do these two things, so they are destined to not get along.
