Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Maozi made 50 yuan and left whistling in a good mood.

Gao Mingcheng put away the ancient coins in his hand and was in a good mood.

These ancient coins are all from the Qing Dynasty. They are relatively recent and there are indeed many of them on the market. But as long as they are collected for more than ten years, their value will increase tens of thousands of times!
Apart from anything else, the value of the 'Qixiang Chongbao' is immeasurable. Gao Mingcheng remembers that at the auction in 2013, a 'Qixiang Chongbao' was finally sold for HKD 575 million, approximately RMB 485 million.

Think about it, what a huge profit!
Therefore, he did not intend to sell the 'Qixiang Chongbao', so he kept it himself and waited for the right time to sell it.

Gao Mingcheng just sat at the door of the clothing store, taking care of Xiao Xuxu while slowly selling bayberries. His bayberries were expensive, so they sold slowly, but they sold more than ten kilograms one after another.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, and Gao Mingcheng looked around, just in time to see Gao Yue's smiling face.

"Hey, why are you back? Didn't you say you would stay in the provincial capital to help your teacher?" Gao Mingcheng was also happy when he saw Gao Yue.

He gave up the small bench he was sitting on to Gao Yue, pointed to the bayberry in the bamboo basket enthusiastically, and said, "The bayberry I grew tastes pretty good. You can take as much as you want!"

Gao Yue was not polite to him. He saw that the bayberry was really good, not only big in size, but also beautiful in color, so he picked it up and put it in his mouth without even thinking about washing it.

However, the bayberries are relatively clean. After Gao Mingcheng picked the bayberries from the tree, he ate them directly in his mouth without washing them at all.

Of course, if you are particular about it, it is best to soak it in light salt water, so that you can see many small bugs coming out of the bayberry pulp!
Since Gao Yue went to the provincial capital to study at university, the two brothers have rarely seen each other. Gao Yue used to come back during the winter and summer vacations. However, during the vacation this year, he suddenly called home and said that he would stay in the provincial capital to help a teacher.

Gao Guobing was naturally willing to this and told him to do his job well.

Originally, after Gao Yue graduated, he could work in the county police station, but if he had the connections of a teacher and stayed in the provincial capital, then it would be a good choice.

After Gao Yue spit out the bayberry core, he said: "I'll come back naturally when I'm done with my work. I came back yesterday and saw the piano you put in our house. Good guy, you almost failed in your cultural studies back then. , to actually buy such high-end and artistic things!"

Gao Yue's exaggerated expression made Gao Mingcheng laugh.

"Three days apart, treat me with admiration. From now on, I will be the principal of the kindergarten! You have to please me, because your children will have to work under my control from now on!"

"Hello, Director Gao!" Gao Yue handed over to Gao Mingcheng, with a sense of nondescript humor.

Gao Mingcheng laughed.

In just a few words, the two of them eliminated the alienation they had felt after not seeing each other for months, and became as affectionate as brothers who saw each other every day.

Gao Yue took Xiao Xuxu out of the stroller and started teasing Xiao Xuxu. Unfortunately, Xiao Xuxu was very determined. He could hug him as he pleased and laugh, but he couldn't laugh easily!

Gao Yue teased him for a while and commented: "Your son is very well-behaved. He is completely different from you! When you were a child, it was as if you had fleas on your body and wouldn't stop at all."

Gao Mingcheng immediately said: "This is still young, only more than eight months old. What can you tell? When he can walk and run, you can see whether he is skinny or not!"

I will try my best to make him lose his skin if he doesn’t!

In his previous life, his eldest son was indeed very worry-free, but being too silent and introverted also destined his eldest son to be very mediocre.

Gao Mingcheng knows that the environment can affect a person's personality, so in this life, he hopes that his eldest son can have a more complete childhood.

The reason why he founded the kindergarten was to provide Xiao Xuxu with a better preschool education environment, make more useful friends, and expand his horizons.

"You can have dinner here at noon. Gao Zhuang happens to be here today, so let's all join in the fun." Gao Mingcheng invited.

Naturally, Gao Yue would not refuse, and just said with a smile: "There are more and more people in your family, I'm afraid there won't even be room for a big round table!"

Indeed, it is definitely not possible for all of my family members, relatives, friends, and people invited to do things to sit down and eat at lunch.

But it’s okay, we can divide it into two tables, and Duomei and the others can eat at the cashier in front.

The two of them sat in front of the store and talked. Gao Yue told some interesting things that happened to him in school, and Gao Mingcheng also told some interesting things that he encountered while collecting antiques.

Speaking of this, Gao Yue said: "It's a pity. If it weren't for the fire, we in Gaojia Village would still have a lot of bottles and cans left over from the past. My dad said that my grandfather had a very beautiful bottle at home at that time, and Some of the Four Treasures of the Study.”

Gao Mingcheng also sighed after hearing this.

The ancestors of Gaojiacun have produced several Jinshi scholars. They used to be considered a gentry family in this area. Unfortunately, they encountered the wars of the times and suffered heavy losses.

The two of them talked endlessly, and suddenly the topic turned to Gao Yue's crush.

When Gao Yue talked about the other party, his face was full of joy, and he had the feeling that youthful nostalgia is always poetic.

Gao Mingcheng listened carefully to his story. He had never known about this secret love affair in his previous life.

But he knew that Gao Yue's wife was not the girl he was talking about now.

Instead, like his brother Gao Hong, he married a girl from the local system.

After Gao Yue finished talking about his admiration for the girl with a dreamy expression, he let out another long sigh.

"She is from the provincial capital, and her family is very good. She is very good at dancing. She and I...sigh..." A trace of sadness appeared on Gao Yue's face.

In his heart, he has concluded that there is no possibility for him and that girl.

After finishing speaking, Gao Yue did not forget to tell Gao Mingcheng: "My parents don't even know about this, so don't talk nonsense."

Gao Mingcheng agreed.

"Hey, I know you're not a talkative. After saying it, I felt much better!" Gao Yue smiled, as if he had buried that secret feeling the moment he said it.

At this time, Xiao Xuxu, who had been quiet all the time, lost face and suddenly struggled and refused to sit on the trolley.

Looking at his expression, Gao Mingcheng knew that he was addicted to milk, so he picked up Xiao Xuxu and said to Gao Yue: "You help me sell bayberries here, and I will give my son to my wife!"

So he carried Xiao Xuxu into the store to look for Duo Mei. Duo Mei was trying hard to persuade customers to buy a dress. When he saw Xiao Xuxu was addicted to milk, he immediately picked up Xiao Xuxu and gave Gao Mingcheng a wink. Cheng Lingran and the husband and wife exchanged tasks. Duomei took Xiao Xuxu upstairs, while Gao Mingcheng stayed in the store to sell clothes.

In the busy time, the time came to noon.

The market is usually busy in the morning, and by noon, the flow of people will gradually decrease, and by the afternoon, it will be almost the same as usual.

Today’s lunch was cooked by Hu Yinchen, including a large pot of tube-bone stewed winter melon, a large pot of braised pork belly, fried beef with chili, stir-fried eggplant with chili and other dishes.

Hu Yinchen's craftsmanship is excellent and has been unanimously praised.

After lunch, Gao Yue did not stay long, but left.

As for Gao Zhuang, he also plans to return to Gaojiacun. He is worried that Grandma Xi is the only one at home.

Women are naturally good at shopping. When they came, Gao Zhuang didn’t bring anything with them. When they returned, the bicycle was piled with things He Xiuman bought!
And on his tall and strong head was a brand new straw hat.

"Brother Mingcheng, Xiuman, Yuanyuan, I'm leaving!" Gao Zhuang grinned and waved goodbye to everyone.

Xiao Yuanyuan was reluctant to let her father go and cried hard. He Xiuman looked at Gao Zhuang's leaving figure, his eyes a little red.

This scene is like a separation between life and death.

No matter how hard-hearted a person is, he cannot be cruel, let alone a tall and strong heart who is not hard-hearted at all.

He couldn't bear to let Xiao Yuanyuan cry, so he immediately set up the bicycle and went to hug Xiao Yuanyuan.

Gao Mingcheng said: "It's still early. You can go back later. The sun is shining right now." He Xiuman also said: "Wait until Yuanyuan is put to sleep before you leave."

So Gao Zhuang had to stay and play with Xiao Yuanyuan for a while, and then coaxed Xiao Yuanyuan to take a nap.

As for Xiao Xuxu, he had fallen asleep long ago.

There were few customers in the store at noon, and Gao Mingcheng and Duo Mei were also resting on the second floor.

Gao Mingcheng took out the eight ancient coins in his pocket and prepared to clean them.

Mao Zi had no knowledge about maintaining antiques, so the eight ancient coins he sold to Gao Mingcheng were full of stains, grease, dust, and even more patina.

The patina needs to be treated in time, otherwise over time, the copper coins will be completely rusted, and then they will be useless.

Treating patina is also simple. The most common and convenient way is to scrub the patina with a toothbrush and toothpaste.

In addition to removing rust, toothpaste can also cleanse away grease and dust.

Gao Mingcheng filled the toothbrush with toothpaste, wetted it, and started brushing it against the coins.

This is also a laborious job and requires constant brushing until the patina on it disappears.

Many beautiful people watched with curiosity, finding it very novel. After Gao Mingcheng washed a copper coin, she took it in her hand and played with it.

For such a small copper coin, many beauties could not see its beauty and scarcity, but curiously asked: "How much did you pay for this? How much can it be sold for?"

Gao Mingcheng said: "A total of 50 yuan, collected from Mao Zi."

"50 yuan?" Duo Mei was slightly surprised, and she immediately said: "You weren't deceived by him, were you? You had the same coin last time, and you said it was five yuan!"

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said: "Oh, don't look at them. They all look similar, but the prices are different in different eras. The quantities are different, and the prices are also different. I gave him fifty, which is a bit of a premium. But it's still worth it."

"Look at this one - this 'Qixiang Heavy Treasure' was only issued for one month in history, so the quantity on the market is extremely rare. It was because of it that I gave Mao Zi a little more money so that he could collect the goods. Be more proactive.”

Gao Mingcheng was naturally not the one who was taken advantage of. He made Mao Zi make a fortune. In this way, Mao Zi tasted the sweetness and would naturally actively collect antiques.

He then buys good quality ones from Maozi.

Gao Mingcheng gave many Americans a brief introduction to the dynasty background of each copper coin, and also roughly explained their future valuation.

"The previous batch of antiques and bezoars made me more than [-] yuan, and the decoration of my new home and kindergarten is no longer a problem. If the antiques I receive later are in good condition and have high collection value, I will keep them myself. "

"From now on, these things will be our family heirlooms. When I move to a new home, I will have to create a special warehouse to store them."

Duo Mei said: "Put the warehouse on the third floor to save the children from being naughty and damaging it in the future!"

Ever since she knew the value of those antiques, Du Mei was quite nervous. She would try to be careful when touching them. If they were broken, she would be heartbroken.

"Ah."

As the couple talked, they unknowingly talked about Gao Mingli's wife, Zhang Jinling.

Gao Mingcheng told what he saw and heard at his parents' house yesterday, and couldn't help but ask: "Duomei, if you and your sister-in-law live under the same roof, can you get along well with her?"

Duo Mei thought for a while, and then said decisively: "We must not get along well! If I lived with her under the same roof, I would definitely be like Jin Ling, quarreling and fighting with her every day!"

"Sister-in-law wants to take advantage of everything, and she is always talkative. I am also impatient. If she offends me, she will definitely have a fight."

Gao Mingcheng became silent after hearing this.

In her previous life, Duo Mei did fight with her sister-in-law Huang Su'e every day.

Later they lived separately, and there was a tendency of not having any contact with each other until old age.

One sister-in-law is like this, and two sisters-in-law are like this. Gao Mingcheng doesn't think it's his wife's fault for her many beauties. This must be the fault of his sister-in-law Huang Su'e!

Many beauties did not witness the quarrel between Zhang Jinling and Huang Su'e, but after thinking about it, they felt the same for Zhang Jinling.

She sighed and said: "Ming Li and his wife always live separately, which is definitely not good. Otherwise, can we ask Jin Ling to come and live in the county?"

Gao Mingcheng didn't care about this, he just said: "I think Mingli doesn't want his wife to come and live here."

Duo Mei recalled Gao Mingli's attitude towards Zhang Jinling and couldn't help but frown.

Since you don't like her, what's the point of spending a high price to marry her?

That night, Gao Mingcheng called Gao Mingli aside and told him what happened in the village.

After listening, Gao Mingli frowned. The first thought in his mind was why Zhang Jinling acted like a shrew?
"If I had known she was a shrew, I wouldn't have married her." Gao Mingli complained.

Gao Mingcheng was stunned, he didn't expect Gao Mingli to behave like this.

The elder sister-in-law Huang Su'e has a preference for her parents-in-law and her husband is still around. She and Zhang Jinling quarrel. No matter how fierce Zhang Jinling is, she will not suffer a big loss.

On the contrary, once Zhang Jinling is weak, she will suffer a serious crime!

As a result, after her husband heard about it, not only did he not sympathize with her experience, but he also despised her as a shrew?
"Do you think sister-in-law is right?" Gao Mingcheng asked from his soul.

Gao Mingli thought for a while and said: "Although my sister-in-law likes to take more possession of her, it's okay. She usually speaks politely and has never quarreled with others. If she can quarrel with Jin Ling, it must be that Jin Ling has done something wrong. ”

Gao Mingcheng was silent, recalling the scene in his previous life when he came back from outside, many beautiful women took the opportunity to complain to him, saying how his sister-in-law bullied her, but he didn't believe it.

"Pa!" Gao Mingcheng raised his hand and slapped himself hard!

He was very strong and didn't hold back when he hit himself. His cheeks suddenly became red and swollen.

This scene shocked Gao Mingli.

When the second brother raised his hand just now, he thought that the second brother was going to hit him.

"Second brother, you..."

"Oh, a mosquito bit me just now." Gao Mingcheng said calmly.

This slap was a slap to myself in the previous life!

I don’t know people well!No distinction between inside and outside!
In his last life, his wife and children were separated. It was all his own fault. He couldn't blame anyone!

Gao Mingcheng raised his eyes and looked at Gao Mingli. His eyes were calm, but Gao Mingli looked a little scared.

The second brother looked at him as if he were looking at a non-existent person through him.

Gao Mingcheng sighed. He saw the fate of his previous life in Gao Mingli.

If Gao Mingli still has this attitude, then he is not far away from his wife and son!
Gao Mingcheng patted Gao Mingli on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Mingli, think carefully about why you want to marry a wife? What did you pay to marry a wife? What do you want to get? Some couples are good couples, and some couples are not. Rage couple, if you can't be nicer to Jin Ling, then you are destined to be resentful couples. Either you part ways, or you hate each other for the rest of your life."

"Angri, after you marry a wife and have your own family, your own family is the most important. Your wife is the one who can accompany you for a lifetime and is the one who gives you children. Your parents will grow old, and so will your brothers. They will drift away, and you have to think clearly about what is most important to you." (End of Chapter)
