Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 492: Listen to your second brother
Leisure is always short-lived, and busyness is the main theme of life.

After stealing half a day of free time, Gao Mingcheng got busy again. This time, instead of going around to collect antiques, he rented Xiao Jinfeng's truck and went to the provincial capital to buy furniture and appliances.

The hard decoration of the new home has long been completed, and the soft decoration is about to begin.

After all, a county town is a county town, and the quality and style of many modern products are not as good as those in big cities.

In fact, the development of the provincial capital here is also very average, but after all it is better than the county town, and it is not far from the county town, so Gao Mingcheng's first choice is the provincial town.

This time, Gao Mingcheng did not go out alone, but took Gao Shufang with him.

Last time Chen Duoxi took the initiative to approach him and said he wanted to go out and see a lot of things, and he agreed. That time, the Chen brothers had a great experience going out.

This time, he decided to take his sister outside to see more.

Speaking of which, although he brought Gao Shufang out of Gaojia Village and lived a relatively good life, Gao Shufang had not been to any place further than the county.

When Gao Shufang learned that she could follow her second brother to the provincial capital, she was naturally pleasantly surprised, and she started picking out the clothes to wear one night in advance.

As a person in the clothing business, she can be tacky, but her clothes must not be tacky!

Of course, today's Gao Shufang has been completely transformed and has lost her village girl temperament.Staying in a high-end clothing store, most of the customers coming and going are either rich or expensive. Over time, her speech, behavior and temperament will naturally change accordingly.

The truck was quite high. Gao Shufang didn't know how to get up at first, but Gao Mingcheng helped her up from below.

After getting in the car, her vision suddenly became higher and wider. This change surprised Gao Shufang, and she looked around curiously.

Of course she had seen trucks many times, but this was the first time she sat in the passenger seat of a truck!

Not long after, Gao Mingcheng came up from the other side. After sitting firmly, Gao Mingcheng placed his hands on the steering wheel familiarly and said to Gao Shufang: "Sit tight, I'm going to drive."

"Yeah." Gao Shufang responded nervously, her whole body tense.

After the car started, the whole car vibrated a little, and with the bumps on the road and the faint smell of gasoline in the air, Gao Shufang's overall experience was actually not very good.

Gao Shufang couldn't help but put her hand to cover her mouth and nose, with a look of discomfort on her face.

After Gao Mingcheng noticed it, he immediately said: "Shufang, you will feel better if you get closer to the car window."

Gao Shufang obediently turned her head towards the car window and felt a strong wind blowing from outside, messing up her hair.

But the strong wind also blew away the unpleasant smell of gasoline, and the fresh air indeed made her feel a lot more comfortable.

"Your symptoms are called motion sickness. You can endure it if you can. If you want to vomit, just vomit in your pocket. If you want it more convenient, you can also let me pull over to the side of the road." Gao Mingcheng said as he took out a pocket, which was Specially prepared for Gao Shufang.

Gao Shufang suffered from motion sickness, something he had known for a long time.

But you can't be too partial. He has experienced the fun of going out with many people, so there is no reason why he shouldn't take his sister.Besides, Gao Shufang's motion sickness symptoms were not particularly serious, and they were something that could be tolerated and passed away.

Gao Shufang didn't dare to speak, she just nodded to show that she understood.

Although she felt uncomfortable, her eyes were wide open and she looked greedily at the unfamiliar scenery outside.

Just looking at it, her eyes felt very tired and she could hardly open her eyelids, so she tilted her head and fell asleep unconsciously.

Gao Mingcheng turned to look at her and smiled helplessly.

Others get carsick and vomit, but Gao Shufang gets carsick and falls asleep directly!
However, for people who suffer from motion sickness, it doesn’t matter if they fall asleep. When they wake up, they will reach their destination, which saves them the uncomfortable time in the car.

Gao Mingcheng parked the car on the side of the road for a while, then reached for the passenger door and shook something like a small handle. As he shook it, the window was mostly closed, because the wind kept blowing on his head and would blow. person has a headache.

After closing the window, Gao Mingcheng continued to drive, and the journey went smoothly. Three hours later, Gao Mingcheng drove the truck to the entrance of a pharmaceutical factory. Out of careful calculation, neither he nor Xiao Jinfeng would run away. The truck was empty, so it was loaded with a truck full of goods.

The carriage was filled with corrugated paper, also known as packaging boxes.

Gao Mingcheng got out of the car and handed over the goods, and then the workers at the pharmaceutical factory began to unload the goods.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Mingcheng woke Gao Shufang up.

Gao Shufang, who had just woken up, had hazy eyes and didn't know where she was.

After a while, her eyes regained focus, and then she exclaimed: "Oh, I fell asleep? When did I fall asleep?"

Gao Mingcheng answered seriously: "You fell asleep just five minutes after getting in the car. What? Were you too excited last night and went to bed very late?"

Gao Shufang shook her head blankly and explained: "No, I was afraid that I would not be energetic today, so I went to bed early on purpose!"

Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but laugh, and then told her that it was normal for her to fall asleep due to motion sickness.

After hearing that it was normal, Gao Shufang breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Mingcheng asked her to get out of the car and walk around, otherwise she would easily get back pain if she stayed in the same position for a long time.

Gao Shufang jumped out of the car, her feet numb from the shaking, and her eyes looked around curiously.

From the perspective of later generations, this pharmaceutical factory looked dilapidated and crude.But in the eyes of Gao Shufang and the workers in the factory, this pharmaceutical factory is very large and impressive.

While waiting for unloading, Gao Mingcheng led Gao Shufang into the factory and found the toilet.

"Go in, I'll wait for you outside." Gao Mingcheng said.

"Yeah." Gao Shufang responded and walked into the toilet carefully. After taking care of her physiological needs, she took advantage of the time to unload the goods and took a walk around the factory.

After leaving the factory, she thought to herself that she had also seen people from big factories in provincial capitals!
"Get in the car, I'll take you to Bayi Mall and Santai Mall. They have all kinds of daily necessities there!" Gao Mingcheng helped Gao Shufang get into the car, and then drove the empty car to go shopping.

At this time, the entire provincial capital, including Bayi Mall, Santai Mall and department stores, are relatively famous. However, in the past two years, the provincial capital’s non-staple food, cultural, department store, Wujinjiaodian and textile companies have successively built The wholesale building is open and open, so shopping becomes much more convenient.

Today is not a day for rest, but there are still many people on the streets of the provincial capital. People are brightly dressed, riding bicycles, or strolling in groups.

Most of the factory buildings in the suburbs have red walls and black tiles, but the city center is naturally a little better and is beginning to see prosperity.

While driving, Gao Mingcheng saw Tengwang Pavilion from a distance and saw that its main body had been completed. Then he remembered that on this year's Double Ninth Festival, the ninth renovation completion ceremony of Tengwang Pavilion No. 20 would be held.

After the ceremony, it was officially opened for business and became one of the best places for leisure and entertainment for people in the provincial capital. As a scenic spot, Tengwang Pavilion also witnessed the long history and culture of the provincial capital.

Unfortunately, it is only the beginning of September in the Gregorian calendar, and it is not yet time to hold the ceremony.

However, when spring comes next year and the flowers bloom, you can find an opportunity to take your family to hang out, climb up the stairs to look at the river view, and experience the sunset, the solitary swans flying together, and the autumn water forming the same color as the sky.

The truck drove on the road and soon took them to their destination.

The entrance of Santai Shopping Mall was crowded with people.Some people went in, and some came out carrying many things.

People's faces were full of joyful smiles.

That's also true. People who come to shop naturally have money in their pockets. They buy what they love and are naturally satisfied.

Gao Mingcheng found a place to park the car, and then took Gao Shufang, who turned into a country bumpkin, into the mall.

The moment she stepped into the mall, Gao Shufang felt that a new world had opened up. Only then did she realize that shopping malls and shopping malls were also different!

Compared with the shopping malls in the provincial capital, the shopping malls in their county look particularly petty.

Gao Mingcheng was not in a hurry to buy something, but took Gao Shufang to go shopping. If he came across something suitable that he wanted to buy, he didn't care whether he would use it or not. He would wait until he bought it!

This behavior also caused him to spend a lot of money.

Gao Shufang looked at her second brother's bold way of spending money and felt her little heart beating rapidly.

Under the influence of her second brother, the money in her pocket was not saved!As the money was spent one by one, many of Gao Shufang's favorite things were also exchanged.

Girls love to look beautiful, so Gao Shufang bought a lot of hairpins, headbands, ribbons, rubber bands, and a pair of beautiful sheepskin shoes for girls.

The leather of pigskin shoes is very hard, and the finished product looks very rough, but shoes made of lambskin and calfskin have better texture and more novel styles, so they are naturally loved by women.

The flow of people in the shopping mall was too large, which made Gao Mingcheng feel a little emotional. To do business, it is better to come to a big city. As long as you seize the opportunity, it will be too easy to make money!

Although he opened the first high-end clothing store in a small county town and firmly occupied part of the business, after all, the number of customers was limited, so the money he could earn was also limited.

Of course, after only sighing for a while, Gao Mingcheng calmed down.As long as he makes enough money, when the provincial capital begins to develop and build, he can buy some popular shops here. He has the memory of future generations and knows where the business district is developing well, and the popular shops he buys will definitely be good. There will be no loss. When the time comes to rent it to others, the rent will be quite generous.

After visiting the mall, the two brothers and sister were already hungry, so they found a place to eat. Gao Mingcheng had a big appetite, and Gao Shufang was also an active person, so the two brothers and sisters ate a lot of food, which attracted the attention of those around them. The people looked sideways.

After the meal, we naturally took a walk to eat, and strolled around the streets to see the different customs and customs.

"Second brother, that earthen pot soup is so delicious!" Gao Shufang touched her bulging belly, still thinking about it, and said: "The fried clam shells are also delicious, better than the ones cooked at home! Second brother, I probably know how to cook it. When the water in the reservoir dries up this year, let’s go back to the village and touch the clam shells!”

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said: "Even if you live in the village every day, you may not be able to touch clam shells! Those half-grown boys soak in the water all day long, and they touch all the clam shells and screws in the water. All over!"

Gao Shufang thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case.

She couldn't help but look disappointed.

The provincial capital is adjacent to Poyang Lake, with numerous water networks and natural aquatic products, which cannot be compared to their small mountain village.

After shopping and eating, the next step was to buy furniture and electrical appliances. These were all finished, and after paying the money, they could be moved into the car immediately. In a short time, the truck compartment was almost ready.

Gao Mingcheng raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was already 03:30 in the afternoon.

There were still three or four hours to go, and when we got home, it wasn't completely dark yet.

"Shufang, get in the car. If you feel uncomfortable, just sleep and you'll be fine." Gao Mingcheng said.

Gao Shufang blinked innocently. She actually wanted to see the scenery on the road.

She doesn’t want to sleep either!

So Gao Shufang, who had gained experience, began to consciously avoid sleeping.

Her persistence worked, at least she saw the scenery along the way, but after the truck left the city and the scenery outside the window began to become repetitive and boring, her eyelids gradually became as heavy as lead, and her head became as heavy as a chicken pecking at rice. Little by little, and then completely fell asleep at a certain point.

Gao Mingcheng noticed her persistence and failure and couldn't help but laugh.

As an experienced driver, Gao Mingcheng drove the car as steadily as possible, heading towards the county he was most familiar with.

More than three hours later, the truck faced the afterglow on the horizon, entered the familiar small county town, and then headed all the way towards its new home.

Because everything in the carriage has to be moved to the new home, and will be unpacked and laid out one by one tomorrow.

When the car stopped in front of her house, Gao Shufang still didn't wake up.

Gao Mingcheng didn't wake up Gao Shufang. People who suffer from motion sickness will be weak even if they fall asleep all the way. It's better for him to do the physical work of unloading.

So he opened the door, got out of the car, and started unloading the goods.

Even after driving for so long, he was still in good physical condition. The heavy solid wood furniture fell into his hands without appearing bulky at all, and was gently placed on the open space in the living room.

It wasn't until most of the things were unloaded from the car that Gao Shufang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, slowly woke up.

"Second brother, we are here, why don't you ask me to move things together?" Gao Shufang, who woke up, found that most of the things had been moved by her second brother, and her eyes widened.

Gao Mingcheng moved the things in his hands into the living room and said: "What do you want to do? How strong are you? It doesn't matter if you wake up, we will go home for dinner later!"

Gao Shufang looked left and right, but didn't find anything she could help with, so she couldn't help but let out a disappointed sound.

But no matter how disappointed you are, you still have to eat!
It was okay when she first woke up, but now when she hears the word "eat", Gao Shufang, a food activist, immediately feels her stomach growling.

But she still had to say: "Second brother, even if I am weak, I can help carry lighter things. You have to call me."

Seeing that she looked quite serious, Gao Mingcheng also said seriously: "Okay, I will definitely call you next time."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Gao Shufang smiled brightly.

Three minutes later, the truck stopped at the door of the clothing store.

Duo Mei and Zhang Jinling, who had heard the commotion a long time ago, immediately came forward to greet them.

Duo Mei said: "You are finally back, are you hungry? Come in and eat!"

Gao Mingcheng jumped out of the car. Because he had just moved things, his body and hands were covered with dust. Even though Xiao Xuxu waved his hands towards him and motioned for him to hug him, he did not dare to hug him.

His body is covered with dust and bacteria, and children have weak immunity, so it would be bad if they get sick.

He strode to the backyard, turned on the faucet, washed his face and hands, then pulled off a piece of clean clothes from the clothes drying rack and put them on before going to hug little Xuxu.

Seeing that the table full of food had not been touched, he couldn't help but said: "When it's meal time, you can eat first. You don't have to wait for us. Just leave some food for us."

Duo Mei smiled and said: "Everyone said they weren't hungry. I plan to wait another 10 minutes. If you haven't come back yet, then eat while it's hot."

It’s still hot, the food on the table is almost cold!
Gao Mingcheng smiled without revealing their good intentions.

Anyway, the weather is still hot at the moment, so it doesn't matter if the food is cold. He sat down and immediately greeted: "Everyone, sit down and eat quickly! Xiao Xuxu, have you eaten?"

"Milk...milk..." Xiao Xuxu was smart. Even if he couldn't speak clearly, he still pointed at the bottle and told his father that he had drank milk.

"Good son, come and have a bite of egg custard!" Gao Mingcheng praised with a smile and scooped up a spoonful of egg custard.

Egg custard is simple and nutritious to make, and is very suitable for children. Xiao Xuxu likes it very much, so his family basically steams a bowl of egg custard for him to eat every day, along with some porridge, soft rice, meatloaf and other dishes. , Xiao Xuxu was raised to be chubby.

While serving the rice, Gao Mingli asked inexplicably: "Second brother, Xiao Xuxu is so young. If you praise him, will he understand?"

Gao Mingcheng immediately said: "Of course I understand! When you praise him, his mood is happy, and when you scold him, his mood is depressed, so how can he not understand? Mingli, let me tell you, When you have children in the future, you should also praise them more. Don't always scold and give your children negative emotions every day. How can your children grow well?"

People of the older generation don't understand parenting at all, and because of regional customs, most of the time they have a repressive education. They believe that filial sons will be born under the stick, and they will be beaten and scolded at every turn.

Even if the child does a good deed, he does not give him recognition, but mocks him a few times.

It's as if his authority as a parent cannot be released without crushing the child into dust.

When he was first reborn, Gao Mingcheng thought about being good to his eldest son and training him to be a talented person, but when it came to his younger son, he gritted his teeth and even prepared a series of measures to raise the child upright.

But at this time his mood was different.

He thought that even if his younger son was born, he would treat it fairly. Every child is a blank sheet of paper, and they will show whatever colors their parents give them.

Of course, if the younger son insists on taking a wrong path, he will not show mercy!

After hearing these words, Gao Mingli was thoughtful.

On the other hand, Zhang Jinling, who was sitting next to her, snickered a little, bumped Gao Mingli lightly with her shoulder, and whispered: "You must listen to your second brother!"

As the future mother of a child, Zhang Jinling naturally hopes that Gao Mingli can learn from his second brother, even if he learns half of it!
The simple Zhang Jinling thought so.
