Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Early in the morning, a cold rain came, causing the temperature to drop a few degrees, and a cold wind blew between the sky and the earth.

However, the colder the weather, the better the business of clothing stores.

After the rain stopped in the afternoon, regular customer Zhang Xiuxiu came again. Her Baodao boyfriend was afraid of the cold and didn't like to go out when winter came, so she was the one who came out to buy clothes.

In fact, in most families, it is the women who buy clothes for the entire family, and men rarely do the shopping.

Zhang Xiuxiu, who was not short of money, chose the most expensive sets of clothes in the store and spent seven to eight hundred yuan in one go. This amount of money was several months' wages for an ordinary worker, but she spent it without blinking her eyelids. Without batting an eyelid.

"Xiao Xuxu, my aunt will give you some candy." Zhang Xiuxiu took out a pack of milk candy from her pocket. This is a product of the sugar factory invested by her boyfriend. It sells very well in the local area and has become a popular holiday treat. , a must-have candy that everyone loves to buy to entertain guests.

The past few years were also the best years for the sugar factory's business. Three years later, due to various reasons, the Baodao investor sold the sugar factory and returned to Baodao. From then on, Zhang Xiuxiu had no one to rely on. .

A woman's best years have passed. In such an era where fame is so important, Zhang Xiuxiu's life is naturally a little inconvenient, so she later went to other places to do business. The capital for the business was also sent by Baodao's boyfriend.

Overall, this boyfriend is quite generous, at least in terms of money.

"Xiao Xuxu, thank you auntie." Many beauty teachers say thank you to Xiao Xuxu. Xiao Xuxu is very well-behaved, but he can't say so many words, so he only says thank you.

"Hey, you're welcome, little Xuxu is so cute!" Zhang Xiuxiu stretched out her hand to hug little Xuxu, and handed many beauties to her, saying: "Not long ago, Mingcheng shot two wild boars, and we made some wind-blown meat. Although it’s not too dry yet, it’s still edible. I’ll give you a piece. If you like to eat something drier, just hang it to dry.”

Zhang Xiuxiu is a big customer in the store, and many beauties are willing to be friends with her. She walked to the backyard and took down a piece of meat from the clothes drying rack, about two kilograms.

Then he took an old newspaper and wrapped the meat so that the meat would not stain the clothes.

"I haven't eaten wild boar for a long time, thank you!" Zhang Xiuxiu thanked him with a smile, then took the clothes and meat and rode away on his bicycle.

After she left, other customers came again, so it was busy again.

Facing the good business, Gao Mingcheng was mixed with joy and sorrow. The clothes were selling out quickly and the inventory was almost gone. In other words, in about half a month, he would have to make a trip to Yangcheng to purchase goods.

Gao Mingcheng counted the days. In December, the elementary school would have its winter vacation. He didn't know if Fan Licheng would go to Yangcheng to celebrate the New Year this year.

Now that he thought of Fan Licheng, Gao Mingcheng simply took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Fan Licheng. Although there were phone calls on both sides, Fan Licheng was young, so if he called, it would most likely be someone else from the Fan family who received the call. , so it’s better to write a letter.

In the letter, Gao Mingcheng asked Fan Licheng whether he was going to Yangcheng during the winter vacation. He also said that he would go to the capital after the new year to see the house he bought before and to pay for the real estate certificate, etc.

After writing the letter, Gao Mingcheng was going to take Xiao Xuxu to the post office to mail the letter.

Unfortunately, before I could get out of the store, I was stopped by Duo Mei.

"Don't take Xiao Xuxu out. It's windy outside and he had a cough this morning."

Okay, Gao Mingcheng didn't dare to argue with the old mother who was protecting his child, so he immediately left the child at home regardless of Xiao Xuxu's longing eyes.

"Have you boiled the ginger and brown sugar water? Remember to buy more chives tomorrow, and you can cook plain noodles with scallions, white beans and black beans for him to eat." Gao Mingcheng said that these two dietary treatments are commonly used in their area.

The white scallions should be with roots attached, then add black bean chilies, and then noodles. The important thing is not to add oil. In this way, if you eat a bowl of noodles while it is hot, you can suppress the symptoms of a cold.

If your child can't eat spicy food, you can omit the chili pepper, but the effect will be slightly worse.

"I boiled ginger and brown sugar water, but Xu Xu was afraid of spicy food and refused to eat it." There were many happy faces with sad faces.

Gao Mingcheng said: "If you put less ginger and more brown sugar, you will eat it."

"Okay, I'll cook another bowl now."

After the couple finished talking, Duo Mei went to the backyard to make ginger brown sugar water, while Gao Mingcheng went to the post office to mail a letter. On the way, he happened to meet Xiao Zhang returning to the police station while handling a case. There were three of them and they were escorting a prisoner.

Gao Mingcheng asked casually: "Officer Zhang, what has this person done?"

Xiao Zhang said seriously: "Last night, a store selling radios was robbed. This was one of the thieves, and the other person has run away! Mingcheng, you should pay more attention. It is almost the end of the year, and petty thefts There are also more people.”

"When you go back, tell the surrounding businesses to be careful. The thief caught this time came from other places to commit crimes."

When Gao Mingcheng heard this, he was also interested.

He wasn't worried before because he lived on the second floor of the clothing store. With his hearing, if there was any movement, he would definitely wake up early.

But now he has moved to a new home. Although Gao Mingli, his wife and Gao Shufang still live there, the three of them have average fighting ability.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Zhang, Gao Mingcheng returned to the clothing store. He first told his family about the matter, and then told the surrounding merchants, asking everyone to be careful. When one family is in trouble, hundreds of businesses will come to help.

They were all neighbors, so everyone naturally agreed and said that if the thief was caught, he would be beaten to death.

Gao Mingcheng returned to his store, looked around, and then went to the second floor.

Although he and Duomei have moved to a new home, they still have everything they need in their room, and they can still live here.

But Gao Mingcheng naturally wouldn't be so scared that he wanted to stay back because of this incident. He was just here to look for things.

Not long after, he went downstairs carrying a bag of tools and decided to add a defensive measure to the front and rear doors.

This measure is also simple, that is, install a tripping rope inside the door, and after closing the door, fasten the tripping rope. If someone picks the lock and comes in, they will trip over the tripping rope and fall to the ground, thus making a noise.

Before opening the door, my family members only need to untie the tripping rope first, so that they will not trip.

After a while of clanking, the simple stumbling rope was installed. Gao Mingcheng called Gao Shufang and Zhang Jinling over and told them how to use the stumbling rope.

The two of them nodded, indicating that they understood.

Gao Shufang also said: "Second brother, don't worry, if a thief comes in, I'll pick up the stick and hit him!"

Zhang Jinling on the side also nodded, with a determined look on her face.

Seeing that they were not afraid of trouble, Gao Mingcheng was also quite pleased.

He looked at the simple stumbling rope, thought for a while, and decided to buy a few more bells and tie the bells to both sides of the stumbling rope. In this way, when the stumbling rope tripped someone, the bells on the rope would ring. Sounds to act as a warning.

So he visited several stores and compared them before choosing the bell with the loudest ring.

After returning to the clothing store, I tied it up and tried it again. I found that when the rope was moved, the bell would indeed make a sound.

This sound will not only wake up the people upstairs, but also be heard by surrounding businesses. More importantly, the thieves are highly nervous when stealing things. Once they find there is a risk, they will run away.

When he returned to his new home in the evening, Gao Guobing also came over and told Gao Mingcheng about the recent theft.

Gao Mingcheng explained the defensive measures he had taken in the store.

After hearing this, Gao Guobing nodded in agreement.

This measure is not complicated, but it is convenient and has a certain effect.

Gao Guobing said: "This method is convenient and can be promoted. If all merchants take measures, the crime rate can be greatly reduced."

Gao Mingcheng also said that he could promote it. In fact, most of the local thieves did not dare to open his clothing store because they all knew that he was the nephew of the High Bureau, but thieves from out of town needed to be on guard.

After talking about this, the uncle and nephew talked about other things.

Gao Mingcheng boiled water, made tea, and prepared to chat while drinking tea.

The tea had just been brewed, and Zhao Dongmei also came. She had been washing the dishes before, and after tidying up the house, she was too lazy to watch TV alone, so she might as well come over and chat.

"Mingcheng, Duomei, I'm so happy that you guys have come to live here. How nice it would be to visit and talk from time to time!" Zhao Dongmei said with a smile, and went to hug little Xuxu again. Her two Her sons have not yet gotten married and have children, so she looks at Xiao Xuxu as if she were her own grandson.

We didn't live together before. Although we had met each other and hugged each other, our feelings were just the same. Now that we live here, Zhao Dongmei decided to spend more time with Xiao Xuxu. No, she had already given it to Xiao Xuxu. I bought a lot of snacks and toys.

It was best to bribe a brat of Xiao Xuxu's age. After receiving Zhao Dongmei's gift, she started screaming like a spoiled brat.

Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but feel a little dazed when he saw Zhao Dongmei holding Xiao Xuxu and Xiao Xuxu calling her grandma.

He seemed to see himself as a child. At that time, he was not welcomed by his family, but it was his grandma who took care of him.

And now, Xiao Xuxu also has a little grandma who likes him.

It was crowded and lively, and everyone sat together, drinking hot tea, chatting, and occasionally teasing little Xuxu, who was made to laugh by his innocent words or actions.

Gao Mingcheng asked about Gao Hong's wedding date again.

Gao Guobing said with a smile: "Gao Hong has performed very well in the army. After studying at the military academy, he has been promoted to a higher level. During the Chinese New Year this year, he will perform better than usual and will not come back to visit relatives. But he said that the New Year will be held Find time to approve the leave, and then come back to get married. After marriage, Li Fei can join the army if she wants."

Zhao Dongmei also smiled and said: "Right now, I just hope that they can get married soon and give me a grandson to raise! Haha, of course, I can also give birth to a granddaughter!"

As the director of the Women's Federation, Zhao Dongmei's ideological consciousness is still very high.

Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

In their last life, Gao Hong and Li Fei did have a daughter, and because of their jobs, they could only have one.

If you have to have two children, then you have no choice but to give up your job.

But neither Gao Hong nor Li Fei are willing to give up their work.

Although Gao Guobing and Zhao Dongmei were disappointed, they did not make it obvious and treated their granddaughter quite well.

However, Gao Yue later got married and gave birth to a son. Although he could only have one child, most people would be satisfied after having a son.

When the topic of having children was brought up, Zhao Dongmei asked Gao Mingcheng if they planned to have a second child.

Although family planning is implemented now, it is not difficult for people who do not have a job to have a second child.

If you have connections, you won't even be fined. If it doesn't matter, it's just a small fine.

In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng did not move to the city so early, nor did he have a good relationship with Gao Guobing, but with his reputation in the village, no one in the village committee dared to fine him. They only said that he could not have three more children, and then took advantage of his absence. At that time, I had a sterilization with a lot of beauty.

In this life, Gao Mingcheng has Gao Guobing's connections and money, so having a second child will go more smoothly, and many beauties will not have to endure the pain of sterilization.

Not only him, several of his brothers, as well as his sister Gao Shufang, all gave birth to second children. Only my sister's second child was delayed for a long time, and she had to pay a fine for some reasons, which made her life a little difficult.

Gao Mingcheng said calmly: "Domei and I plan to have a second child. Xiao Xuxu will be one year old soon. Whenever she gets pregnant, she can give birth to her."

Duo Mei also smiled and nodded. She had communicated with Gao Mingcheng about the idea of ​​having a second child.

Many of the beauties are old thoughts. I think it is better to have more children. I have never thought about having only one child. She has four sisters, four brothers and one sister from the Gao Ming and Cheng family. Other families in the village also have five or six at most and two or three at least. A child.

Only a few families only gave birth to one child, such as Gao Zhuang. After Gao Zhuang's mother gave birth to him, she became weak and died a few years later.

"That's good. You have already given birth to a son. It doesn't matter whether you have a son or a daughter next!" Zhao Dongmei said happily.

After talking about having a second child, Gao Guobing brought up hunting in the forest farm again.

Gao Guobing said: "I have made an agreement with a few other people to wait until the weather improves and the roads in the mountains become easier to walk, and then we will go hunting in the mountains. It will be a holiday in two days. I hope it will be good weather. If we can catch prey, Now, let’s use it to hold a birthday banquet for Xiao Xuxu!”

Gao Mingcheng smiled. In fact, he also planned to go back to the village to kill a wild boar and a sheep before hosting the banquet. If he could produce meat and vegetables at home, he would have less money to host the banquet.

Although we are not short of money, we can save money, so why not?

If he wanted to go hunting with Gao Guobing and the others, then Gao Mingcheng would not go back to the village to hunt.

"Okay, I'm free at any time. If you guys decide a date, just let me know." Gao Mingcheng said.

By the time everyone had finished chatting, it was already half past nine in the evening.

Gao Guobing and Zhao Dongmei got up and prepared to go home and rest.

Gao Mingcheng sent them back, Zhao Dongmei politely said no, but Gao Mingcheng insisted.

Anyway, it’s only a hundred meters away, so it’s not a big deal for him, a young man, to just walk away!
  He thought and did this, but Gao Guobing and Zhao Dongmei felt extremely comfortable. They felt that Gao Mingcheng was really close to them, and that a real nephew was nothing more than that.

After sending Gao Guobing and his wife home, Gao Mingcheng returned home and did some simple stretching exercises to stretch his muscles and bones along the way.

After returning to his home, he closed the courtyard door and looked at the spacious courtyard, feeling quite proud. The reason why the courtyard was so spacious was to facilitate him to practice boxing and keep fit.

In addition, he decided to bring a pair of small stone locks made for Duo Mei next time he went back to the village. In his free time, he could take Duo Mei to exercise, and when Xiao Xuxu grew up and could lift the stone locks, he could also teach the little ones Xu Xu’s basic skills.

Learning should start from childhood.

This martial arts training naturally starts from childhood.

At this moment, Xiao Xuxu, who was nestling in her mother's arms and being gently coaxed to sleep by her mother, still didn't know how...busy her future destiny would be!
  The next two days, although it didn't rain, were still cloudy.

Just when Gao Mingcheng thought he might not go hunting, on the day of the holiday, the weather suddenly changed and became sunny!
  When a ray of sunlight slanted in through the glass window, Gao Mingcheng knew that he had to go hunting today.

When he thought so, Gao Guobing came over early in the morning to inform him.

"Mingcheng, after breakfast, we'll set off! Xiao Jinfeng will drive a jeep and pickup truck then, and we'll wait for him at the roadside."

Gao Mingcheng had expected it, so he nodded in agreement.

After Gao Guobing left, Gao Mingcheng said to Duo Mei, "I'm going hunting today. It's up to you to take care of the store and Xiao Xuxu."

Duo Mei pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Go ahead. Without you, there are still so many people helping me."

Gao Mingcheng also smiled, which was why he was willing to bring some people to his side.

After eating porridge and boiled eggs, the couple went out. Duo Mei carried Xiao Xuxu to the clothing store, while Gao Mingcheng and Gao Guobing went to the roadside to wait for Xiao Jinfeng's car. (End of chapter)
