Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 421 Gao Mingcheng wants to buy a camera (please vote for me)

Zhang Jinling and Gao Yuanyuan are somewhat related. Zhang Jinling's grandmother is from the Dafang family of Gaojiacun. They are related in terms of seniority, but in terms of blood relationship, the relationship is not deep.

This time Luo Xiaohua was looking for someone to marry Gao Mingli, and there were several candidates, but in the end Luo Xiaohua fell in love with Zhang Jinling.

Zhang Jinling is the eldest sister in the family. She has a younger sister and a younger brother. She is a good person both at home and outside, and she is the most diligent person.

But Zhang Jinling also has some shortcomings, that is, her skin is darker, and her lips are relatively large and have an everted feeling, and she also has a conspicuous mole on her mouth.

These small flaws make Zhang Jinling's appearance extraordinarily ordinary.

If Gao Mingli had never been attracted to Deng Wanwan, then he would not be so picky about Zhang Jinling's appearance.

But now when comparing Zhang Jinling with Deng Wanwan, Gao Mingli's face doesn't look good.

This day was a holiday in the factory. He borrowed many Midea bicycles and rode back to Gaojiacun alone. Then Luo Xiaohua took him to Zhang Jinling's home to discuss the engagement.

Zhang Jinling's home is located at the bottom of a small hill. The entire hill is the mountain land allocated to their family, so they surrounded it and raised a lot of chickens inside. The family earned income from selling chickens and eggs. Life was going okay.

And because Zhang Jinling is a hard-working person, she can do both hatching and raising chickens.

Zhang Jinling is of medium height. She sits there quietly with a slightly shy look on her face.

If you look carefully, you will know that the Zhang family all have a signature big mouth, and the children born by Zhang Jinling and Gao Mingli will also inherit such a big mouth.

Zhang Jinling is quiet, and Gao Mingli is also quiet. A young man like him who can't get into trouble is also lucky. Born in this era, if in another 20 years, you can't get into trouble or please a girl, then prepare It’s a good time to be a bachelor!

Luo Xiaohua and Zhang Jinling's parents talked happily. While talking and laughing, they agreed on the price of the gift and the number of things to buy.

As for the wedding date, it is scheduled for June [-]th.

It's already May, so the wedding is coming soon, so you can start preparing all the items for the wedding.

Luo Xiaohua gave a betrothal gift on the spot, and the Zhang family would use the money to find a carpenter to order a wooden box. They would then give him a pair of wooden boxes, two quilts, a cupboard, a washbasin stand, a washbasin, and a thermos bottle.

These are Zhang Jinling's dowry. As for the final payment, it depends on how much Zhang Jinling's parents are willing to give.

Things went smoothly. Gao Mingli didn't say a few words from beginning to end. He was just there as a decoration.

However, Zhang Jinling's parents are quite satisfied with him.

Because Gao Yuanyuan was good at steaming wine, he made a lot of money in a year, and Gao Mingli was a regular worker in a sugar factory, so he was a serious worker!
At this time, the identity of a worker is still very popular.

But soon, with the changes in the domestic economic market, many workers will be laid off.

After settling the wedding matters, Zhang Jinling's mother said: "Xiaohua, your family is not short of houses in the village and has a house to live in, but Mingli works in the county, so he must live in the county. He is now living in There’s no problem at his second brother’s house. But, you can’t just stay here for the rest of your life, right?”

Luo Xiaohua also thought about this. In fact, she didn't want Gao Mingli to live in Gao Mingcheng's home. She was afraid that Gao Mingli would be like Gao Shufang and side with Gao Mingcheng. Then she would have given birth to a son in vain. .

So she said: "I definitely want to buy a house, but I can't do it for the time being. In-laws, let me tell you the truth. The money at home now is only enough for gifts and banquets, but after another year, I will definitely have money to buy a house."

When she said this, her expression was extremely confident, so Zhang Jinling's mother believed her.

Luo Xiaohua is indeed confident that Gao Yuansheng can make money by steaming wine. She grows and sells vegetables every year, and sells her pigs at the end of the year. At the end of the year, she has about 2000 yuan, plus Gao Mingli’s own savings. The money should be enough to buy a house.

And she thought that if it was not enough, she could borrow it from Lao San and Shufang.

As for the second child, Luo Xiaohua had made up his mind that they would not pay attention to the second child unless he surrendered and apologized to them first.

Just pretend that you didn’t give birth to this son.

This thought only flashed by, because next, they had a sumptuous lunch at Zhang Jinling's house and talked a lot about their plans after marriage.

It's just that Luo Xiaohua's true intention in her heart has not been spoken truthfully. She plans to wait until she gets married before speaking out.

The reason why she chose Zhang Jinling for Gao Mingli was because she liked Zhang Jinling's hard work, so she thought that after Gao Mingli and Zhang Jinling got married, she would keep Zhang Jinling in the village on the pretext that it was not good for both husband and wife to live in Gao Mingcheng's house. live.

When Gao Mingli is on vacation, I will come back and stay for one night, then go to the county for work.

If Zhang Jinling stays in the village, she can buy more chickens for Zhang Jinling to raise, and he can also help her take care of the vegetables in the field and the pigs at home.

In this way, Luo Xiaohua's life will be much easier.

But Luo Xiaohua knew in her heart that if she said it now, Zhang Jinling would be easy to deceive, but her parents would certainly not be deceived.

Therefore, she kept it in her heart and never said it out loud.

After coming out of Zhang Jinling's house, Luo Xiaohua proudly claimed credit for Gao Mingli: "Look! What a good wife Mom has found for you! This family is not poor, and there is no need to worry about her constantly supporting her parents' family in the future. She has a good personality." , and hard-working, if it weren’t for our two families being related, you wouldn’t be such a good wife!”

Luo Xiaohua was extremely proud and waited for Gao Mingli to express his gratitude.

But Gao Mingli didn't say anything yet.

Gao Mingli had a dull look on his face, completely devoid of the joy and expectation of a newly engaged person.

There is even a trace of regret in my heart.

When he asked his second brother, he asked him to save money for two years before meeting the right person, and told him not to get married in a hurry.

But at that time, he suddenly felt very dissatisfied. They were all brothers. Several other brothers were getting married one after another and even had children.

So why did you get married so late?
Two years?Do you have the gift money and the money to buy a house in two years?Gao Mingli himself thought it was impossible.

Therefore, if you get married on your own, it may take three, four or even five years!
Thinking of this, Gao Mingli decided to obey his parents and marry Zhang Jinling.

But just because he bowed to reality, it doesn't mean that he sincerely likes Zhang Jinling and looks forward to marrying Zhang Jinling as soon as possible.In his heart, marrying Zhang Jinling was just to complete the mission.

He agreed to marry Zhang Jinling, his parents were happy, and he was relaxed too.

Gao Mingli did not respond to Luo Xiaohua. Instead, he sent Luo Xiaohua back to Gaojia Village and then rode his bicycle directly back to the county.

Luo Xiaohua looked at Gao Mingli's sullen look, and felt a little angry in her heart. She felt that it must be the second child who led Mingli to evil!
With this thought, she went to work in the fields with a hoe. She planned to grow more vegetables this year, earn more money from selling vegetables, buy a house for Akari as soon as possible, and let Akari move out.

After getting engaged to Zhang Jinling, Gao Mingli was a little depressed, but after returning to the county, he still told Gao Mingcheng and Gao Shufang about it.

Gao Mingcheng was a little surprised, but he had a feeling that it was indeed the case.

As usual, he gave Gao Mingli a suit and Zhang Jinling a dress. If Zhang Jinling wanted to wear a wedding dress, she could also borrow the wedding dress.

But Gao Mingli rejected the wedding dress proposal without even thinking, saying, "She is very dark, and she will definitely not look good in a wedding dress."

Gao Mingcheng never forced it, so he said: "Then when you take her to the county to buy things for the wedding, take her to the store to pick out a dress."

Gao Mingli didn't say anything immediately after hearing this.

That night, many beauties asked Gao Mingcheng: "After Mingli gets married, will his wife also live here?"

Gao Mingli used to rent a house, but later Gao Mingcheng's clothing store opened and there was a vacant house, so for the sake of his brother, Gao Mingli came to live there.

It's just that when they are not married, they are still pure brothers, but after they get married, they are two families.

Gao Mingcheng didn't know what Gao Mingli's plan was. If he asked, he would feel like he was trying to drive people away.

So he said: "Let it go. If you live here, you can just treat me as a relative."

Gao Mingcheng was more concerned about his son than caring about Gao Mingli's marriage.

He held Xiao Xuxu in his arms, looked left and right, and looked again, always feeling that there was something wrong with it.

Suddenly, it occurred to him.camera!
He hasn't bought a camera yet and hasn't been able to take photos of little Xuxu's growth!
What a mistake!You know, when smartphones become popular, people are always keen to take photos with their mobile phones to capture the wonderful moments in life.

There are literally countless photos in the photo albums of some photography experts.

Some children in later generations have photos from birth to adulthood. These photos can be used by parents to remember those years, and they can also let children know what they looked like in different time periods.

"How beautiful, I'm going to buy a camera! We should take more photos, otherwise in a few years, we may forget what Xiao Xuxu looked like when he was a child." Gao Mingcheng said excitedly, and began to think about whether to buy it in the county or buy it in the county. I went to Yangcheng and bought it.

He decided to go to the county stores to look for it first. If there was no good one, he would have to go to Yangcheng to buy it.

Many beauties were also very interested in this proposal, but her first thought was to ask if the camera was expensive.

She had gone to a photo studio to take pictures, and Gao Mingcheng had borrowed a camera from the photo studio before, so she was not unfamiliar with cameras.

I just subconsciously thought that the camera would be expensive.

Gao Mingcheng recalled the current prices and said: "A domestic camera costs about 500 yuan, and an imported one should cost about 2000 yuan."

"Yeah! It's so expensive!" Duo Mei felt sorry for money, but she was not the kind of person who insisted on keeping all the money in her hands. Out of her trust in Gao Mingcheng, Duo Mei said, "I don't understand either. Let’s see which one you want to buy!”

"Yes." Gao Mingcheng accepted this glorious task.

The next day, he went to the county store to look at cameras.

Gao Mingcheng remembers that from the mid-80s to the late 90s, there was a photography craze in China, and in the 70s, camera advertisements had already appeared in newspapers.

After buying a color TV at home, Gao Mingcheng occasionally saw advertisements about cameras on the TV.

When he came to the store, he asked people about cameras, and then he learned that the only domestically produced Seagull DF camera in the county was actually a good camera, as it was a single-lens reflex camera.

A Seagull DF camera sells for 540 yuan.

It's just that from the perspective of future generations, Gao Mingcheng found this camera to be very crude and backward. He remembered that the photos taken by this camera were very clear, but they were clear when taking black and white photos.If you use it to shoot colorful scrolls, the result will be yellowish overall.

This is because there is a problem with its lens and it has indigestion of color film.

Since Gao Mingcheng wanted to buy a camera, he would definitely use it to take color photos, so after looking at it, he decided to buy an imported one.

This is not because he worships foreigners, but at this time, imported electrical appliances are really better than domestic ones.

Of course, after more than ten years of development, domestic technology has gradually improved, and the quality of the electrical appliances produced is definitely not inferior to that of foreign countries.

You know, Made in China has fans all over the world!

Gao Mingcheng was eager to buy a camera as soon as possible, so he went to the transportation company and asked Xiao Jinfeng to arrange a trip to Yangcheng for him. He was going to buy a camera and bring back a batch of clothing.

It’s May now and it’s time to get new summer styles.

Gao Mingcheng was equivalent to a non-staff member of the transportation company. When he passed by, Gao Mingwan happened to be there. When he heard this request, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Okay, I'm going to go to Yangcheng tomorrow. Second brother, please run for me. I can just rest for a few days!"

Gao Mingwan was too quick to talk, so Xiao Jinfeng could only give him a helpless look. Reliable drivers were always in short supply. Apart from friendship, Xiao Jinfeng was also happy for Gao Mingcheng to take orders.

Now that Gao Mingwan had spoken, Xiao Jinfeng didn't say much, so he gave Gao Mingcheng the car that Gao Mingwan wanted to run.

Gao Mingcheng also rarely met Gao Mingwan, so the two brothers went out and sat in a secluded place to talk.

Gao Mingcheng told Gao Mingli the wedding date, so that Gao Mingwan would have an idea so that he could make time to attend the wedding.

Gao Mingwan is indeed going. When he got married last year, Gao Mingli helped him. This time Gao Mingli got married, he naturally had to help before and after.

"Okay, I will definitely go then. Hey, I didn't expect that the fourth child would also get married. Time flies so fast! Sometimes when I close my eyes, I thought everyone was still a child." Gao Mingwan said with emotion .

Gao Mingcheng smiled. When he was a child... it was even more distant for him, and his memories were a little yellowed.

But he doesn't miss being a kid.

If you were happy as a child, you might miss it, but if you weren't happy, it's okay not to miss it.

Gao Mingcheng changed the topic and asked about Wang Xiuxiu's small business.

When mentioning this, Gao Mingwan's face collapsed and he said: "Hey, Xiuxiu is too quiet and not good at doing business! I have lost a lot of capital! Second brother, I have to wait to borrow your money." Returned."

Gao Mingcheng was not surprised when he heard this.

It is said that character determines destiny, and Wang Xiuxiu's character is destined to be unsuitable for business.

But at this moment, apart from the freedom and profit of running a small business, there is nothing else.

Unless...a thought emerged in Gao Mingcheng's mind, but he was in no hurry to speak out.

If he had connections for Wang Xiuxiu, he might be able to find a primary school teacher position for Wang Xiuxiu.

But he felt that it was not necessary to do this, because Gao Hong and his fiancée were not married yet, and it would be difficult to ask the other family for help now.

As soon as his thoughts changed, Gao Mingcheng had another good idea. He said, "Mingwan, you know that I plan to start a kindergarten, right?"

Gao Mingwan nodded. Although he often traveled on the road, he was still fairly well-informed.

Mainly because when he returned to the transportation company, Xiao Jinfeng often told him things about Gao Mingcheng.

"This is what I think. As for you, ask your sister-in-law to find out all the old books, study them carefully, and then focus on learning English. My kindergarten will start next spring, and ask your sister-in-law to come over then. What do you think about being a teacher?"

After Gao Mingcheng finished speaking, he looked at Gao Mingwan, waiting for him to speak.

Gao Mingwanna didn't even think about it, and immediately said with bright eyes: "Okay! Xiu Xiu can definitely do this well!"

At first he agreed, then Gao Mingwancai said belatedly: "Why do you want to learn English?"

Gao Mingcheng said with a smile: "Because I want to open a bilingual kindergarten!"

"What is bilingualism?"

"That's English and Chinese. Learning English should start from a young age!"

Gao Mingwan seemed to understand, but he had an unclear feeling. He thought to himself, it is indeed the second brother, he is really awesome!

Gao Mingcheng was thinking that he could speak a few simple English sentences in his previous life, but he was better at speaking dialects from various places. If a dialect class was opened, he could become a dialect teacher.

Thinking this way, he suddenly became happy.

For two lifetimes, he had nothing to do with the profession of teacher, but he never thought that as long as he wanted to, he could become a teacher right away.

Ahem, even though I’m just a kindergarten teacher running my own kindergarten!
The thought of teaching a group of children to speak dialects from different places is so funny!
　Friends, I am going back to the countryside to hold a wedding reception on National Day.Yes, I have been married for ten years and have two children, but there is no wedding banquet yet.

　　But there is no need to pity me, because when I got married, it was done in my natal family. My natal family is very strict about having a wedding before getting pregnant. If you have a child or you are pregnant, you will have to talk about it.

　　As for those here who don’t have such particularity, I just let them arrange it.

　　I'll probably be busy all day tomorrow, so I won't necessarily have time to code. I might have to take a day off.

　　Well, although the updates are not strong, double monthly passes are still required! ! !

　　Dear friends, come with some money and spend your monthly tickets! ~
