Return to the small mountain village in 1986

When you open the brand new iron door, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus hits your nostrils.

The yard of Gao Mingcheng Xin's home is not small. He did not choose to grow vegetables and raise chickens. Instead, he built a flower bed and planted common local flowers, such as osmanthus, camellia, rose, etc.

This is the time when the sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom. Although the sweet-scented osmanthus is small, its fragrance is fragrant and refreshing.

And the most peculiar thing is that if you pick the sweet-scented osmanthus and smell it closely, the fragrance you smell will be relatively weak.

Only when you smell it inadvertently do you know that the sweet-scented osmanthus is blooming and the fragrance is there.

Gao Mingcheng continued to climb the stairs and opened the door to his new home. The interior was spacious and bright, and everything was decorated in the most popular decoration styles. Even people from the capital would give thumbs up to such a house when they saw it.

He has made a lot of money over the years, but he has also spent a lot of money at the same time. It costs a lot of money to buy land, build a house, decorate it, and build everything.

But the effort is worth it. Soon, he and his family will be able to live in a better living environment than most people in the country!
  Gao Mingcheng checked every floor and confirmed that there was no pungent smell and that it was completely livable. Then he went out and headed towards the police station.

He planned to exchange feelings with Gao Guobing, and asked Gao Guobing to help him choose a good life to live in.

Moving across the house is also called moving into a new house, moving into a new house, moving into a new house, etc. However, in later generations, the commonly used word became moving into a new house.

When he arrived at the police station, Gao Mingcheng greeted the staff naturally, and then asked Gao Guobing if he was available. After receiving the news that he was available, he went to Gao Guobing's office.

"Uncle, are you busy?" Gao Mingcheng knocked on the door and pushed the door open, saying hello with a smile.

Gao Guobing put down the materials in his hands and asked Gao Mingcheng to come over and sit down.

"I heard Dazhi say that he was able to solve the missing baby case in Farmer Street so quickly because of you." Gao Guobing said with a smile, feeling that Gao Mingcheng was really his lucky star.

The last case of the tomb robber made him famous in the city. This year, the bureau's funds are more than in previous years.

Nowadays, everyone in the bureau is wearing new guns, and the old box guns have become history.

Weapons and equipment have been upgraded, and transportation vehicles are also expected to be upgraded. Unfortunately, it has not been approved yet. With luck, it may be approved next year.

Gao Mingcheng said modestly: "I happened to hear those few words, so I asked Maozi to go there. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

Gao Guobing nodded in agreement. Sometimes when handling a case, as long as there are clues, he must follow them to investigate. Even if nothing is found in the end, this investigation process is still very important.

After the two chatted about their current situation, Gao Mingcheng asked Gao Guobing to help choose an auspicious day for the marriage.

You need to look at the lunar calendar for this. There will be corresponding pros and cons in the lunar calendar, and then choose a suitable day from it.

The uncle and nephew got together to choose an auspicious day, and finally found that the [-]th was a good day, but now there are only three days left before November [-]th.

Gao Guobing felt that this day was a bit rushed, so he said: "Mingcheng, are your new home ready? Are you just going to move in, or is it going to be a whole ceremony?"

Since the destruction of the old age, many superstitious sayings and rituals have gradually faded away from people's lives, and later, the new generation of young people will be even less particular about it.

Regarding this point, Gao Mingcheng has already thought about it in advance. Naturally, he has prepared a whole ceremony, but there is no need to make it too complicated. For example, there is no need to move into the house in the middle of the night. After all, the couple has a child under one year old. As for babies, it’s inconvenient to toss around in the middle of the night.

However, it is still necessary to choose an auspicious day, set up a bed, and get off to a good start, and at noon on the second day after entering the house, a banquet with relatives and friends in the new home is also needed.

When it came to entertaining relatives and friends, Gao Guobing said: "After your new house was built, your parents haven't been here yet, right? Even if the family is separated, you are still father and son, and you still have to invite us."

"By the way, little Xuxu is only a few days away from turning one year old. Are you planning to host a banquet?"

Gao Xu was born on November [-]th, so he is already ten days old.

Gao Mingcheng has also thought about this, so he said: "I'm going to hold a birthday party, but I won't hold it here at my new home, but I'm going to hold it in a hotel."

His new home is beautifully decorated, with pianos, guitars and other musical instruments on display, so it will be inconvenient for people to come and go.

Besides, it was getting cold at that time, so it was quite cold to have wine and eat in the open air.

Gao Guobing still had old ideas and thought it would be better to have wine at his own home, which would be more festive.

But he also has an advantage, that is, he will not impose his ideas on others. This is true for his two sons, and even more so for his nephew Gao Mingcheng.

So he nodded, agreeing with Gao Mingcheng's approach.

Gao Mingcheng added: "When we move to a new house to have a drink, I must take my parents and grandma over. Grandma Xixi and Gao Zhuang will also take over together. Let's have a good time together."

After making arrangements with Gao Guobing for the moving date and the banquet date, Gao Mingcheng didn't delay much. When he saw someone wanted to talk to Gao Guobing about work, he said hello and left.

After walking out of the office, he stopped by Huang Dazhi, told him about moving to a new home, and called him and Luo Li to come over for dinner.

Huang Dazhi nodded in agreement with a smile on his face. And I was thinking about what gift to give.

This gift is also easy to choose. It can be anything from firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, as long as it comes in pairs.

Gao Mingcheng returned to the clothing store and told his family what had happened. Duomei said, "I have already prepared the bedding for the new home. I can go there and set up the bed at any time."

When setting up a bed in a new home, red bedding, pillows and quilt covers are often chosen to symbolize good fortune and happiness. Therefore, many beauties buy red bedding early, wash and dry it in advance, and store it in the cupboard.

When Gao Shufang and others heard the news, they were happy for their second brother, but also a little reluctant.

It used to be that everyone lived together, which was very lively, but now that the second brother and second sister-in-law have moved away, it feels a lot more deserted.

Gao Mingcheng saw her thoughts and said, "Even if your second sister-in-law and I move here, the store will still be here, and we will still have to come here every day! Besides, it's only about ten minutes away from both sides, which is very fast."

When Gao Shufang heard this, she grinned.

Gao Mingcheng also smiled and touched her head.

The next step is to get busy. Although the new home looks bright and clean, there must be dust after it has been vacant for so long, so it needs to be cleaned. After it is thoroughly cleaned, the bed is set up.

Once the bed is installed, it's off to a good start.

The so-called good start is to hang a red banner at the door to express the joy and excitement of the family. Banners for a good start usually include auspicious words such as "good luck" and "peace and happiness" to pray for a bright future for the family.

Originally, Gao Mingcheng planned to buy red paper and write it himself, but Gao Guobing said that there was a leader in the county party committee who had taken a back seat and was good at handwriting. His family had a good start because he asked this leader to write it, so he decided to write it for Gao Ming. Cheng asked the leader for help.

After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng naturally agreed ten thousand times.

Although his handwriting is not ugly, it does not go well with art. After everything is ready, the time has come.

Gao Mingcheng didn't plan to move in the middle of the night, and he didn't even need help from Gao Shufang and others. He put the things on the tractor body and moved them back and forth in one go!

When it was time to entertain relatives and friends, Gao Mingcheng and Gao Mingwan drove their cars back to the village to pick up their friends early in the morning.

There were a lot of people to pick up, so Gao Mingcheng asked Gao Mingwan to go back together. Gao Mingwan drove the transportation company's pickup truck and drove with Gao Mingcheng's tractor on the bumpy road.

After entering the village, Gao Mingcheng said to Gao Mingwan: "If you pick up someone, you can go back to the county first. I still have to get two chickens and some vegetables."

"Okay." Gao Mingwan agreed. He was responsible for picking up his parents, grandma, and eldest brother's family, while Gao Mingcheng was responsible for picking up Duoyu's family and grandma's family.

Duo Mei has three sisters. As for the other two sisters, I won't call them this time. But the second sister from the same village, Duo Yu, naturally has to be called, otherwise people will say it.

Gao Mingcheng continued to drive the tractor toward Niuweiling.

Communication tools are not developed now, but a while ago, Gao Shouwang installed a telephone in the garment workshop. It is considered the first private telephone in Gaojia Village... no, it is the first private telephone in the entire brigade!

After Gao Mingcheng chose an auspicious day, he called Gao Shouwang and asked him to inform his parents. He also agreed with Chen Dasong to slaughter two chickens in advance and prepare seasonal vegetables in the field so that he could take them away when he came back.

With the phone notification, Gao Mingcheng saved a lot of things.

When he returned to Niuweiling, Chen Dasong immediately said: "Mingcheng, the chickens have been killed, and two old chickens that lay less eggs have been selected! In addition, the eggs and vegetables have been put into frames. Oh, I see the oranges are ripe It’s almost done, and I picked some for you to treat the guests.”

Gao Mingcheng looked at the small basket of oranges and smiled with satisfaction. He picked one up, peeled it off, and ate it in half. It was juicy, sweet and sour.

This orange tree has been carefully cultivated for more than two years, and fertilized twice in spring and autumn with farmyard manure and chemical fertilizers. Therefore, the tree grows well and bears good fruits.

"Yes, it tastes good and can be sold at a good price!" This time, the oranges weighed at least a thousand catties, and it was the first crop to bear fruit on a large scale in Xiaofushan.

Although the previous fruits such as peaches and bayberries also bore fruit, they did not bear much fruit.

When Chen Dasong heard that he could sell it at a good price, his face was also full of smiles.

In addition to taking care of the chickens in the chicken coop every day, he also takes care of the fruit trees in the mountains. Fortunately, the chickens only need to be fed a meal of chopped vegetables mixed with bran and fresh water in the morning, while the fruit trees are busy fertilizing and bearing fruit.

"Uncle, we have a lot of work at home and outside the house, and we really cannot do without people. I won't invite you this time. When Xiao Xuxu turns one year old, I will invite you to the county for a drink." Gao Mingcheng said politely. said.

"Okay, okay. Mingcheng, I am responsible for all the work at home. If you are too busy, I can call Duofu and Duoxi to help, so don't worry." Chen Dasong said with a smile.

Gao Mingcheng didn't invite him, so he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

It was originally a banquet for relatives and friends, so what was he doing there?
  Things went smoothly. Gao Mingcheng loaded the things on the tractor body, picked up Duo Yu and his family, and then headed towards the old village.

By the pond at the entrance of the village, Gao Mingwan's pickup truck was no longer there, and it had obviously left first.

Gao Mingcheng stopped the car and walked towards the old village: "Grandma Xi, Gao Zhuang, have you packed up?"

Before reaching the courtyard gate of Grandma Xi's house, Gao Mingcheng shouted.

"Hey, okay." This was Grandma Xixin's voice, and then she said to Gao Zhuang: "Zhuang Zhuang, lock the door quickly."

"Yeah." Gao Zhuang responded, closed the courtyard door and locked it.

After picking up the young lady and her family, you can return to the county town.

This round trip only takes two hours, but there is still an hour before lunch, so there is still time!

Gao Mingcheng had no time to entertain them, so he just let them do what they wanted, and then moved the bamboo basket containing chicken and vegetables into the kitchen.

The kitchen of the new home uses a small pot and stove, and the briquettes are burned because burning firewood produces too much smoke.

But yesterday, Gao Mingcheng built a stove in the backyard and moved the big iron pot from the clothing store to use.

At this time, the big iron pot was steaming and exuding a rich aroma of meat.

The small pot and stove will not be idle and can be used for cooking.

In the kitchen, Gao Shufang, Zhang Jinling and Hu Yinchen all rolled up their sleeves and worked so hard that the tips of their noses were sweating.

As for the pregnant woman Luo Li and Duo Mei who needed to take care of the baby, they stayed at the clothing store and waited until noon before closing the door and coming over to eat.

That's how business people are, they won't close their doors easily.

Gao Mingcheng had just brought the vegetables over and was about to help clean and chop the chicken when he heard Gao Shufang say: "Second brother, you are not needed here, you should go and entertain the guests!"

The hostess is guarding the shop, and the male host must entertain the guests!

Besides, Wang Xiuxiu can also help pick vegetables, and He Xiuman can even cook.

Seeing that there was really no need to do anything by himself, Gao Mingcheng went out to entertain the guests.

I have to go to work today, so Gao Guobing, Zhao Dongmei and Gao Mingli have not arrived yet, but Gao Guobing's rice cooker has been donated in advance. At this time, three rice cookers are cooking together in the kitchen.

Gao Mingcheng came to the living room and introduced his house to his parents.

Gao Mingcheng's new house feels good everywhere, even for city residents, let alone people in the village. Gao Yuan and others have long been dazzled by it.

Under the leadership of Gao Mingcheng, they visited the entire house. Although the second and third floors were decorated, they had no soft furnishings and looked empty. They planned to buy it when needed.

And things are changing so fast now that if you buy later, you can buy something more suitable.

After the visit, it was almost time.

Gao Mingcheng said to Gao Mingwan: "You help entertain your parents, and I will go to the store to pick up Duomei and Xiaoxuxu."

"Okay, go and get busy!" Gao Mingwan agreed and took up the important task. He took out the cards and planned to let everyone play cards for fun.

However, he was stopped by Gao Yuan.

What's so good about playing cards? Might as well take a closer look at this house! (End of chapter)
