Return to the small mountain village in 1986

After the New Year, there was another heavy snowfall. The heavy snow started falling in the middle of the night and lasted all day.

However, the weather is mostly sunny after the snow, and the sun shines on the white snowdrifts, creating a strange beauty.

The ground and lower snow were destroyed by naughty children, either used for snowball fights or made into snowmen.

The balcony on the second floor of the clothing store is open, so snowflakes also fall and cover the balcony, as fluffy and snow-white as yeasted steamed buns.

In order to amuse the children, Duomei also made several small snowmen with his hands and placed them one by one on the balcony. The current balcony only has a one-meter-high protective wall. Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire street.

Although the sun was out, the temperature was still very low and the snow had not melted. Seven or eight little snowmen of different shapes were placed on the balcony, which was a bit interesting.

On the third day after Deng Wanwan's first visit, she came again, this time to treat Gao Mingcheng and the others to dinner.

The meal was at a nearby restaurant, and everyone had a great time chatting at the dinner table.

Last time, Deng Wanwan kept silent about what happened between her and Wang Xun, but this time, she said openly: "Axun and I have obtained our marriage certificate and plan to hold a banquet on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Then you will all come. Let’s drink wedding wine!”

Gao Mingcheng had already seen the clues from Wang Xun, but Duo Mei and Gao Shufang were completely unaware. When they heard the news, they were shocked, but then they thought that Deng Wanwan had lived with Wang Xun in the capital for a year. In the past year and a half, I have developed feelings and are willing to get married together. That is only natural.

As for Deng Wanwan's past experience, they naturally would not say anything rashly.

They avoided taboos, but Deng Wanwan was already calm.

She had made up her mind that she would not get married. She always felt that the men who approached her had bad intentions. After she followed Wang Xun to the capital, she did not have any different feelings for Wang Xun at first, but later she She followed Wang Xun to learn how to identify and restore antiques, and gradually the two of them got along for a long time. She was impressed by Wang Xun's erudition and wisdom without knowing it.

When Wang Xun confessed to her that he liked her and wanted to marry her, she didn't have much resentment, but she never agreed.

Deng Wanwan said with a smile: "After I left your place that day, Ah Xun sent me home. In front of my parents, I told him everything about me, and said that if he still wanted to marry me , then I will take my parents to live in the capital after marriage."

"I thought he would have to think about it for a few days, but I didn't expect that he agreed immediately and took me to get the marriage certificate very quickly!"

Speaking of this, Deng Wanwan smiled shyly.

Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up, thinking that Wang Xun was really an open and responsible person.

In fact, this matter about Deng Wanwan depends on the person. If you are a person with traditional ideas, you may find it difficult to accept it, and you may feel resentful. But if you are more open-minded, it doesn't matter. As long as you like her now, what does her past matter?

Besides, Wang Xun himself is a widower with two prostitutes, and he is much older than Deng Wanwan. Deng Wanwan is willing to accept him, and he has made a fortune!

Gao Mingcheng raised his glass and said to Deng Wanwan: "I wish you to bid farewell to yesterday and welcome a new tomorrow!"

Deng Wanwan pursed her lips and smiled, also raised her glass and bowed to everyone.

What they drink is not high-alcohol wine, but sweet wine. Even women can drink several glasses of this sweet, low-alcohol wine.

Deng Wanwan has found a good home, and many beauties and Gao Shufang also wished her well. Many beauties took the initiative and said: "Do you want to wear a wedding dress when you are serving wine? We have them in the store! Not long ago, we made two rabbit skin shawls. Shawl, if you serve the wine indoors, it won’t be too cold.”

Deng Wanwan said: "Originally I wanted to keep everything simple, but Ah Xun refused. He also said that he would hire someone to record the video. If the wine was served, it would be in a hotel. The specific hotel has not been decided yet. Once it is decided, we will do it. I informed you by phone.”

Since you are going to make a wedding video, you must wear a wedding dress, so that it is formal and atmospheric!

So many beauties said they would take Deng Wanwan to the store to try on wedding dresses to see if the size is suitable.

For example, the wedding dresses for rent in their store actually have a part of the fabric left. If the wedding dress is too small, the threads are removed and that part of the fabric is released. If the wedding dress is too big, it is sewn on again.

Deng Wanwan's figure is on the thin side, so after trying on the wedding dress, some places were slightly too big.

Many beauties immediately decided to make the changes smaller, which was easy to do. They had sewing machines, so they found the areas that needed to be made smaller, and they had them corrected in just a few minutes.

After changing it, try it on again until it fits everywhere, then put the wedding dress away.

When Deng Wanwan looked in the mirror in her wedding dress, she felt extremely happy. She never expected that she, Deng Wanwan, would get married openly and openly in her wedding dress!

Because clothing stores will be closed during the Chinese New Year, Deng Wanwan needs to take away her wedding dress now so as not to be late when she gets married on the sixth day of the lunar new year.

"Brother Mingcheng, Sister Duomei, Shufang, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, you must come to have my wedding wine!" Before leaving, Deng Wanwan said again.

"Don't worry, we will definitely go!" Duo Mei gave her a look of affirmation. Deng Wanwan was completely relieved and waved goodbye to them.

Deng Wanwan actually didn't have many friends. Since that incident, there were only a few people she could talk to. As for this wedding, she only asked her parents to attend. As for her grandparents and uncle's family, she was not prepared to tell them.

Because in her heart, those people are no longer her relatives.

Her parents are her relatives, and Gao Mingcheng and others are her friends. By then, the table of the woman’s relatives and friends will not be full!

After Deng Wanwan left, Duo Mei took out the Jingba items given by Deng Wanwan and called Zhang Jinling and Hu Yinchen to come and eat them.

Jingbajiu is a classic Beijing-style pastry. The bright red box is printed with rich peonies, and various pastries are placed on the rose red tissue paper. These pastries are not only beautiful, but also very festive.

However, due to the inconvenience of long distances, Deng Wanwan did not carry many pastries and only gave two boxes to Gao Mingcheng and the others.

But in addition to the Jingba piece, Deng Wanwan also gave gifts to all three of them. Duo Mei and Gao Shufang each had a turquoise bracelet, which looked very beautiful.

The gift given to Gao Mingcheng was an jade ring.

The original function of the thumb ring was to facilitate archery. The nomads in the north were good at horseback riding and archery, so they naturally needed to wear thumb rings. Over time, this thumb ring became an exclusive accessory for men.

Gao Mingcheng saw that the quality of the jadeite ring was very good, and it was Laokeng jadeite from Myanmar.

Judging from its style and planting, it should be an object from the late Qing Dynasty. Even now, it is worth some money.

If we can find evidence that any important person has worn this ring, then the value of this ring will go up!

In an instant, Gao Mingcheng came up with several common sales tactics in later generations, adding a legendary color to this ring.

However, this is just a thought. He can just keep the gifts given by others, and there is no need to sell them.

The ring ring that Deng Wanwan gave to Gao Mingcheng was a little expensive, but the turquoise bracelet given to many beauties was not very valuable.

At this time, the turquoise market is not yet hot, the price is not high, and turquoise is also called turquoise on the market. However, turquoise has a delicate texture and bright and soft color, making it very suitable for young girls to wear.

So Gao Shufang quickly put the turquoise bracelet on her wrist.

Because she hadn't done farm work with her face turned to the earth for a long time, Gao Shufang's skin became much whiter. On the girl's slender wrist, a string of brightly colored bracelets stood out.

Customers who came to buy clothes noticed her wrists and asked about her.

However, there was no turquoise for sale in their small county town at the moment. Seeing that many customers wanted it, Gao Mingcheng said that he would go to the capital to get the goods after the year.

This kind of gadget didn't take up much space. Since the women at home liked it and the customers also wanted it, Gao Mingcheng decided to buy a bunch of them!

For good-quality turquoise, once the market becomes hot, the price will keep rising! So you can definitely buy it now when the market is not hot.

Time flies by and tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.

New Year's Eve is a day for family reunion, so there is no reason to go to work, so Gao Mingcheng decided to go back to Gaojia Village on the morning of New Year's Eve.

Duo Mei and Gao Shufang were busy preparing things, while Gao Mingcheng went to the police station to find Gao Guobing.

Since receiving the call from Fan Chengyao, the county has begun to make arrangements.

Because the county is small, there is only one train station and one bus station. There are people patrolling these two places every day, even if it's snowing, they still do their duty, just to find Du Hongyu's people.

Gao Mingcheng already knew what Du Hongyu looked like.

Naturally, he had never seen Du Hongyu, and Fan Chengyao did not have a photo of Du Hongyu in his hand. However, Fan Chengyao found a person who was good at painting portraits, and based on his description, he drew Du Hongyu and mailed it to Gao Mingcheng.

This portrait was copied several times by Huang Dazhi and distributed to those responsible for patrolling the station.

Unfortunately, until now, there has been no news.

Seeing that tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and the day after tomorrow is New Year’s Day!

Gao Mingcheng felt a little uneasy.

Although they already have portraits of Du Hongyu and her subordinate, who stipulates that only the two of them can come?

There are tens of millions of people in the world, and there are many who are willing to work hard for money!

As the saying goes, a gentleman will not stand behind a dangerous wall. Du Hongyu is quite wealthy, so she will definitely not put herself in danger.

After arriving at the police station, Gao Mingcheng went straight to Gao Guobing's office.

It's the end of the year, and there are a lot of things going on in the bureau, but the purpose is only one - to ensure that residents have a peaceful New Year!

Gao Guobing did a good job in this matter. Because of his advance planning, in the past half month, the number of cases in the county was only in single digits!

You know, at the end of the year, thieves show off their skills. People are often stolen, and some people even snatch gold jewelry worn by women on the street.

However, due to the high density of police patrols, many people do not dare to risk stealing and robbing.

"Uncle, is there any news about Du Hongyu?" Gao Mingcheng asked as soon as he entered the office.

Gao Guobing put down the pen in his hand and said seriously: "Not yet, I think she will either not come, or she will come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"

Gao Mingcheng frowned and said, "But I will go back to the village tomorrow."

Gao Guobing stood up, patted Gao Mingcheng's shoulder comfortingly, and said: "The arrest of Shi Laosan is originally our police's business. If Du Hongyu dares to come for revenge, she can come! This matter has nothing to do with you, you It’s a good thing that we’re not involved!”

"You should go back to the village tomorrow. I'm keeping an eye on things here and nothing will go wrong."

Gao Mingcheng couldn't help it. If he was alone, he could stay in the county to provide support, but he had a wife and children, so he couldn't help himself!

After leaving Gao Guobing's office, he met Huang Dazhi again.

Because they have to guard against Du Hongyu's revenge, the police officers don't have a day off this year, which is pitiful.

But Huang Dazhi is here alone, because a few days ago, he asked sister Luo Li to go back to her parents' home.

Originally, it would be okay to send Luo Li back to his house for the New Year. His house has been repaired and is now in good condition. There is also his room and wardrobe in the house, so he can live in it at any time.

But no matter how nice your husband's family is, how can you be as comfortable as your mother's family?

So Huang Dazhi asked Luo Li to go back to her parents' home. After this tense period, he would go to Luo Li's parents' home to pick her up.

Gao Mingcheng thinks Huang Dazhi's decision is good. He can feel more at ease when his wife is not around.

They chatted with Huang Dazhi for a few words, wished each other a happy new year in advance, and then said goodbye and left.

Early the next morning, many beauties were packed up inside and out. As a result, Gao Mingcheng was dumbfounded when he saw the pile of things!

"Why are there so many things?" Gao Mingcheng pointed at the car full of things and said doubtfully, "Can you still get in the car?"

The tractor compartment is already filled with all kinds of things!

In addition to changing clothes, the most important thing is all kinds of food and fun.

Xiao Xuxu alone has a lot of things. This child is not comparable to adults. Adults only need a change of clothes, but children must bring more, otherwise once they get dirty or wet, they will have nothing to wear. !

Gao Shufang smiled and said: "Let's fold the things again later. If everyone squeezes in, we will definitely be able to get on the bus!"

"I'm quite smart. When I sent grandma back last time, I asked my second brother to bring me a quilt and an electric blanket. Otherwise, there would be more stuff!"

Gao Shufang had lived at home for a week before. The old quilt in the room made her feel cold, so she immediately ran to Grandma Gao's room and squeezed in with Grandma Gao to sleep.

After that, she planned to buy a new quilt and an electric blanket. With these two things, she would no longer be afraid of the cold when sleeping.

Gao Mingcheng smiled helplessly and said: "You guys can really take care of it! Okay, let's have breakfast quickly. After breakfast, it's time to go back to the village."

So everyone got together to have breakfast. Breakfast was simple, just porridge with pickles, but there were many types of pickles. There were two ways to make grapefruit peels, one was what they often made, and the other was Hu Yin Chen. Teach them what to do.

It turns out that after the grapefruit peel is rinsed, mixed with salt and pepper, it is steamed in a steamer! After steaming, they are spread out and dried in the sun. They taste dry and crispy, like pickles and snacks. (End of chapter)
