Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Early the next morning, before Gao Shufang had finished cooking the porridge, Gao Mingcheng got busy.

He bought a lot of porcelain at the Fan family porcelain kiln yesterday, and it was still in the trunk of the jeep, so he planned to send the porcelain to his new house to put it away first.

These porcelains are wrapped in old newspapers, and larger porcelain bottles are fixed with simple wooden frames so that they are not easily broken even if the road conditions are bad.

When they arrived at their new home, Gao Mingcheng had just parked the car when he happened to see Gao Guobing nearby.Gao Guobing was wearing a white vest and was running nearby to exercise.

The two families are not far apart, only about 100 meters apart. After Gao Mingcheng and his wife move here in the future, they will be able to come and go frequently.

"Uncle, I'm running! I bought some porcelain from Jingdezhen yesterday. Come and see if you like it. If you like it, take some!" Gao Mingcheng greeted enthusiastically.

The price given by the Fan family was favorable and the quality of the porcelain was good. He did buy a lot at once.

"Mingcheng, what did you buy? Last time, Xiao Jinfeng gave me a set of tableware from there. It is indeed better-looking than the porcelain bowls bought in the county." Gao Guobing ran all the way here. He should have been running for a while. There was a thin layer of sweat on my face and back.

Gao Mingcheng took out the key, opened the door of his house, and then said: "Uncle, help me move the porcelain into the house and take a look."

"Okay." Gao Guobing responded and went to the trunk to move things.

Gao Mingcheng put aside what the Chen brothers bought and let the Chen brothers take it home later.

He bought the rest, and he and Gao Guobing moved back and forth three times before getting everything moved.

After removing the old newspapers, the porcelain reveals its unique beauty.

Blue and white, exquisite, pastel, and colored glaze, each type of porcelain has its own beauty, but Gao Guobing noticed a blue and white porcelain tea bowl among a bunch of fine porcelain.

This tea bowl has a bowl, a lid, and a tray. Each single item is painted with exquisite blue and white flowers. When combined together, it is exceptionally coordinated and pleasing to the eye.

Gao Guobing started playing with it directly, and the joy on his face was undisguised.

Blue and white porcelain has a wide audience. There was a saying: "I would rather have a piece of blue and white than a box of gold."

Gao Mingcheng noticed this scene and said generously: "Uncle, take it if you like it. Take a pair. You and Auntie can make tea together!"

Gao Guobing took a look at the various porcelains on the floor and saw that Gao Mingcheng had indeed bought a lot, so he accepted them unceremoniously.

"Okay, thank you then." Gao Guobing said with a smile, and went to get another tea bowl of the same color.

After he got these things, he chatted with Gao Mingcheng for a few more words, and then returned to his home in a good mood.

As soon as Zhao Dongmei put the cooked porridge out to dry, she saw Gao Guobing coming back with an expression on his face that he had found a treasure.

"Didn't you go for a run? Where did you get these porcelain?" Zhao Dongmei asked in surprise.

"Hey, I just met Ming Cheng. He bought a lot of porcelain from Jingdezhen and gave me a pair. Well, I took two blue and white porcelain tea bowls, one for you and one for me." Gao Guobing took one of them as if he were offering a treasure. A blue and white porcelain tea bowl was handed to Zhao Dongmei.

Zhao Dongmei took it and asked curiously: "He bought a lot? Are they all blue and white porcelain?"

Gao Guobing's expression suddenly froze, and then he said: "It's enough to take these two. Don't take any more."

Zhao Dongmei stared at Gao Guobing, then sneered, and then rolled her eyes.

Seeing her walking outside, Gao Guobing hurriedly said, "Why are you going?"

"Call Mingcheng to come over for breakfast!" After Zhao Dongmei finished speaking, she had already reached the door of the yard.

Gao Guobing couldn't stop him, and couldn't help but muttered: "How beautiful is the blue and white porcelain? You must like those gorgeous colors! You are so old!"

Zhao Dongmei walked to Gao Mingcheng's house in a hurry. At this moment, Gao Mingcheng had already put all the tableware in the cupboard.

As for those ornaments, he didn't have them in Duobao Pavilion for the time being, so he could only put them on the table in the living room.In the most conspicuous place in the living room, there is a piano, which is covered with floral cloth to prevent dust.

This piece of floral cloth was prepared by Zhao Dongmei. When Gao Mingcheng placed the piano at Gao Guo's military headquarters, Gao Mingcheng left after delivering the piano and never thought about such details as dustproofing.

But Zhao Dongmei felt that the piano was so beautiful, it would be bad if it got dusty, so she ran to the cloth store and bought a piece of cloth and covered the piano.

Later, after the kindergarten teacher training was over, when Gao Mingcheng moved the piano to his home, he brought the floral cloth with him.

"Ming Cheng." Zhao Dongmei walked in. She looked at the empty living room and said, "Is it time for you to buy furniture? Once you buy the furniture, you can move here."

"Auntie. I plan to go to the provincial capital to buy furniture in a few days and then move here at the end of the year." Gao Mingcheng stood up and said.

Zhao Dongmei has been looking forward to Gao Mingcheng and the others moving here, so that they can communicate more easily.

She walked to the table and admired the various bottles and jars placed there. She felt that everything was beautiful, especially the pastels and colored glazes, which were very suitable to her liking.

Gao Mingcheng had already given a pair of tea bowls, and she couldn't take them again, but she could take a look first, and then ask Xiao Jinfeng to help buy some.

She plans to buy some porcelain vase ornaments with beautiful colors to display in Gao Hong's new house. When they get married, they will look happy.

She smiled and said: "Mingcheng, thank you for the tea bowl. Your uncle likes it very much. By the way, I have cooked the porridge. You can go over and eat together."

"No, I just came here to put the porcelain, and I have to go back to Gaojia Village later." Gao Mingcheng refused. Based on the relationship between their two families, it was normal for them to have a meal with each other, but he came over without saying hello and went over temporarily. When eating, I was afraid that the breakfast prepared by Zhao Dongmei’s family would not be enough.

Although he refused, Zhao Dongmei was very polite and insisted on inviting him over for dinner, and even held his hand and walked outside.

"How long does it take to just have breakfast? After eating, you go back to Gaojiacun to do your work. Your uncle and I also have to go to work. I happened to cook a lot of porridge today, and there is also a pound of chicken cakes at home, which is enough for the three of us. of."

Zhao Dongmei couldn't help but pulled Gao Mingcheng back to her home.

On the table was a bowl of steaming white porridge and several plates of side dishes to go with the porridge.

Zhao Dongmei quickly opened the cupboard door again and took out a bag of chicken cakes and an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"Mingcheng, sit down. Let's eat together!" Zhao Dongmei said enthusiastically.

Gao Guobing also invited Gao Mingcheng to sit down and eat together.

This meal is simple.

Gao Mingcheng hadn't come to Gao Guobing's house for dinner for a while, so they chatted about each other's current situation.

Gao Guobing told Gao Mingcheng that due to the triangular debt, some state-owned units in the county had more or less problems, and the phosphate fertilizer plant was even about to shut down.

"It is now the end of August. In more than a month, sugar cane will be harvested. However, given the situation of the sugar factory, I am afraid that there is no money left to purchase sugar cane. But if there is no sugar cane, the sugar factory will not be able to continue. I've given birth." Gao Guobing said with a slightly sad look on his face.

Because of the existence of sugar mills, many villages and towns in the county are required to grow sugar cane. Those sugar canes are not only the county's indicator, but also the income of the villagers. Once the sugar cane cannot be sold, it will rot in the fields, and the villagers Your income will be greatly reduced, and you may not be able to live well this year.

Gao Mingcheng listened to this and recalled what happened in his previous life.

Originally, growing sugar cane was a lot of work and not profitable. The villagers were unwilling to plant it, but the superiors must let you plant it. If you don't plant it, it won't work.

However, due to the triangular debt, the sugarcane market is very bad this year. A lot of sugarcane has rotted in the fields, causing strong dissatisfaction among the villagers. By next year, even if the people in the production team and village committee work every day, some people will not be willing to plant it. sugar cane.

A few years later, the quota for planting sugar cane disappeared. By that time, Gaojia Village could not see a single sugar cane for several years, and they were all heartbroken by sugar cane.

It wasn’t until life got better later that some people began to grow fruit and sugar cane for their own consumption. (End of chapter)
