Return to the small mountain village in 1986

This Labor Day has become even more lively because of Gao Mingcheng's return.

For workers who have time off, this day is a holiday, and the weather is fine, making it a good day to go shopping with your family.

For merchants, all holidays are good days for doing business!

The business of Xinxin Clothing Store is very good. During the Chinese New Year, many men and women have blind dates. If they are successful, they will find a partner and prepare to get engaged or get married.

If you want to get married, it has become a common practice to buy a few sets of expensive clothes for the woman. As a famous high-end clothing store in the county, most of the customers in the store recently are young men and women.

When Gao Mingcheng came back with a large bag of turquoise, some old customers heard the news and came one after another.

Even Zhao Dongmei came over with a few friends.

Seeing Zhao Dongmei, Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "Auntie, why are you here too? I specially left some for you!"

Zhao Dongmei smiled and said: "I was playing mahjong at your Aunt Chen's house. I heard that you were back, so you came here with everyone. Don't leave it specially for me. Take out the things quickly and let us do it ourselves." Pick.”

"Okay!" Gao Mingcheng responded with a smile and opened the bag containing turquoise, revealing various turquoises inside.

The texture of turquoise is relatively soft, but the color is very beautiful, which is really in line with Chinese aesthetics. The most important thing is that it is not expensive!

This pack of turquoise is mostly bracelets and pendants, and some are rough stones.

During the Chinese New Year, Deng Wanwan gave each of Duomei and Gao Shufang a turquoise bracelet. After a customer saw it, they said it looked very good and wanted it.

Because Gao Mingcheng decided to go to the capital for business after the year, he promised to bring them.

Now more than two months have passed, and the turquoise that everyone has been thinking about has finally been brought back by Gao Mingcheng!

"Wow! There are so many! There must be hundreds of strings, right? The color is so beautiful!"

"Yeah, I heard it's a foreign product. Did it come from Turkey?"

"This bracelet is beautiful! But this pendant is also beautiful! Oh, I want them all!"

Women love gemstones, and as soon as turquoise appears, all their attention is focused on it. They select and discuss at the same time, trying to pick something more to their liking.

People have a herd mentality. After other customers who came to buy clothes saw it, they also came to choose.

At this time, the price of turquoise is relatively cheap, because it has not been heated up by the market, and it is easy to buy. Under the leadership of Wang Xun, Gao Mingcheng easily bought a big bag and even bought a lot, and even managed to raise the price. Keep it down.

When Zhao Dongmei and the others were choosing, Gao Mingcheng did not watch, but let Gao Shufang watch. He had been away from home for so long, and now he was not interested in anything else, only interested in holding his son!

After returning this time, Gao Mingcheng found that Xiao Xuxu could walk very steadily! This made him extremely happy.

But what he cared about most was weaning.

So he quietly asked Duomei if he had weaned little Xuxu.

Duo Mei glanced at him shyly and said, "Not yet."

Gao Mingcheng was anxious. His son was over one year old and it was time to wean him!

So he said: "Let Xiao Xuxu sleep with Shufang tonight! When will wean her off, and when will she take her home?"

Duo Mei hesitated for a moment, but she and Gao Mingcheng had been separated for a month, and she actually wanted to be alone with Gao Mingcheng, so she said: "Okay, I'll tell Shufang later about Xiao Xuxu's milk powder, milk bottle and Clothes and so on are still here."

Seeing that Duo Mei agreed, Gao Mingcheng's heart immediately became hot. Tonight, he was going to spend time with Duo Mei!

With a chirp, Gao Mingcheng kissed Xiao Xuxu on the cheek. The ignorant Xiao Xuxu didn't know what he would encounter next, and he still grinned.

Gao Mingcheng also looked at his son with a smile, but he thought in his heart that although his son is good, his wife is more important!

Son, at over one year old, it’s time for you to learn to stop breastfeeding!

While he was teasing Xiao Xuxu, Zhao Dongmei and the others finally picked out the jewelry they liked.

Originally they were only planning to buy one, but then they saw something good-looking and decided to buy two, but in the end...

For creatures like women, there is only one reason that can stop them from spending money - that is, lack of money!

But Zhao Dongmei and her friends all belong to owners who are not short of money, so they picked several of them each!

The person with the most, she bought eight skewers with one hand!

This person only has two hands, how can he wear eight bracelets?

Gao Mingcheng didn't understand, but it didn't stop him from accepting the money with a smile.

He was originally going to give it to Zhao Dongmei, but now Zhao Dongmei came with her friends, and Zhao Dongmei gave him a wink, so Gao Mingcheng gave them a preferential price and took the money with Zhao Dongmei.

Zhao Dongmei gave money very generously, and before leaving, she invited Gao Mingcheng and his wife to have dinner at home in the evening.

Gao Mingcheng agreed immediately and promised to go there for dinner in the evening.

After Zhao Dongmei and the others left, new people came in to buy turquoise.

Gao Mingcheng came back with a big bag of this stuff, and he wasn't worried about not being able to sell it, because he was the only one in the county!

Even if there are some that you can't sell, don't worry. You can keep them until the price of turquoise increases in the future, or you can give them away.

The guests came and went, and by evening the big bag of turquoise was half empty!

This is true. Never underestimate a woman’s purchasing power!

Gao Mingcheng promised Zhao Dongmei to go to her house for dinner, so he and Duomei did not stay at the clothing store to eat in the evening, but said to Gao Shufang: "Your sister-in-law and I went over there to eat, and Xiao Xuxu will be left to you." Yes, you feed him milk at night!"

Gao Shufang subconsciously agreed, but it took her a while to realize that her second sister-in-law was preparing to wean herself?

She looked at many beautiful things.

Duo Mei smiled and said: "Shufang, there may be a scene on the first night. Thank you for your hard work."

Gao Shufang also smiled and said: "It's okay, second brother and second sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely take care of little Xuxu!"

With her guarantee, Gao Mingcheng was ready to leave, but Duo Mei's emotions were quite complicated.

Weaning is a little cruel for the child, and a little difficult for the mother to let go.

When a child seeks breast milk, which mother can refuse it cruelly?

But children always have to grow up, and mothers will have to be themselves sooner or later, so weaning is a must!

Many beauties thought so, but after leaving the clothing store, they still felt a little disappointed.

In order to avoid little Xuxu making a fuss and following his parents, Gao Mingli took the child for a walk outside before they left.

As the weather warms up, the days get longer and longer, and it’s still somewhat bright at six o’clock in the evening.

It was a holiday today. Gao Guobing and Zhao Dongmei were both at home. When Zhao Dongmei invited Gao Mingcheng to have dinner at home, she separated from her friends. First she went to a braised vegetable restaurant to buy some braised vegetables, and then went home to kill a chicken.

When Gao Mingcheng and Dumei passed by, they smelled the aroma of stewed old hens.

The fragrance is very overbearing, permeating the air and lingering for a long time. This is the old hen that Zhao Dongmei raised herself. It is their local chicken. It is not only delicious but also has a good texture.

Nowadays, white-feathered chickens are beginning to be sold on the market.

As early as the 1980s, white-feathered chickens were imported, and farmers began to raise white-feathered chickens on a small scale along the coast.

White-feathered chickens are different from domestic native chickens in that they can only eat feed and are put on the market for a short period of time, only 42 days. They are broiler chickens.

The situation is different with native chickens. Native chickens eat millet and worms. A 42-day old native chicken is still a chick and cannot be eaten at all!

Gao Mingcheng believes that native chickens raised for one year are the most delicious!

As soon as he entered the yard, Gao Mingcheng smiled and shouted: "Uncle, aunt, we are here!"

"Mingcheng and Duomei are here, come in and sit down!" Zhao Dongmei was still busy in the kitchen, greeting her enthusiastically, and called Gao Guobing to pour tea for Gao Mingcheng and the others.

Gao Guobing took out two porcelain cups and poured hot tea from the thermos bottle.

"Mingcheng, Duomei, drink tea." Gao Guobing handed over the tea, and Gao Mingcheng and Duomei took it with both hands.

Everyone sat down on the sofa, and there were some melon seeds and peanuts on the coffee table for guests.

Gao Mingcheng chatted with Gao Guobing while drinking tea.

After being away for a month, the two sides met very cordially. Gao Guobing had never been to the capital, so he pulled Gao Mingcheng and asked a lot about the capital.

Gao Mingcheng was well prepared. He took out a photo album and handed it to Gao Guobing.

"Uncle, these are the photos I took in the capital! Look, I have been to places like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall!"

Gao Guobing took the photo album and began to look through it.

Many Mei had already seen this photo album before, but now they are looking at it with Gao Guobing.

This is the capital!

Wang Xun has a camera, so it is very convenient to take pictures. As long as he buys more color film, he can take pictures however he wants!

In the photo album, there are group photos of Gao Mingcheng and Wang Xun together, as well as single photos of Gao Mingcheng, and even pure landscape photos!

There is an overlooking photo of the Forbidden City, which was taken by Gao Mingcheng on Jingshan Mountain!

Jingshan was called Meishan in the old days. Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on a locust tree in Meishan.

This aerial photo of the Forbidden City looks very majestic! The endless Forbidden City was once a place where royal dignitaries lived, but now it is a place where everyone can set foot!

In addition to photos of scenic spots, there are also some photos of commercial streets. With one click of the camera shutter, the bustling time of the capital is frozen on film!

Gao Mingcheng pointed at some photos and said the contents one by one: "This is Chongwenmen Vegetable Market, this is Quanjude, the roast duck restaurant! This is Wangfujing, this is Deshengmen Archery Tower! This, This is the small bungalow I bought!”

He had already paid for that small bungalow and acquired the real estate. It was truly his real estate in the capital!

Gao Mingcheng took a complete set of photos. Even though Gao Guobing had never been to the capital, he had a clearer understanding of the capital just by looking at these photos.

He looked at the photo of Tiananmen Square and said with envy: "One day, I also want to visit Tiananmen Square!"

Gao Mingcheng consoled him: "Uncle, roads are being built everywhere in the country now. It will definitely be much more convenient and faster to go out by car in the future. Don't say you want to visit Tiananmen Square, you can even go abroad for fun!"

Gao Guobing was amused and said, "I don't want to go abroad. What's the good thing about going abroad?"

Some people think that going abroad is paradise, but others think that there is nothing good about going abroad.

The journey is long, the language is different, and the food is hard to get used to!

Gao Guobing longed to go to Tiananmen, but he had never thought of going abroad.

While chatting, Zhao Dongmei had already started to serve the cooked dishes one by one.

Seeing her serving food, Duomei hurried over to help. Gao Guobing and Gao Mingcheng did not continue to sit here and look at the photos, but walked towards the dining table.

Those holding bowls and chopsticks took bowls and chopsticks, and those holding drinks took drinks. Before long, the table was full.

"Mingcheng, are you hungry? Come to the table and eat quickly!" Zhao Dongmei smiled heartily and asked Gao Mingcheng and Duomei to sit down and eat.

Gao Guobing has also opened a bottle of Site wine and poured it for Gao Mingcheng.

So he drank wine, ate food, and talked about what he had seen in the capital.

Zhao Dongmei already knew that Gao Mingcheng had brought a photo album, and she was also full of longing for the capital. She wanted to look through it right away, but she still held back and wanted to eat first!

After the meal, Zhao Dongmei didn't bother to clear the table, so she took the photo album and looked through it.

Gao Mingcheng explained one by one beside him, Zhao Dongmei watched with interest, and Gao Guobing continued to watch beside him, but at this time, Duo Mei had already stood up to help clear the table.

Zhao Dongmei cooked a table of good food for them, so naturally she should help with some things. So after Zhao Dongmei looked at the photos, she found that Duomei had already cleared the table and washed the dishes.

Zhao Dongmei couldn't help but said: "Oh, just leave it there, I will clean it up later."

Duo Mei smiled and said: "It's just something easy and not tiring!"

Zhao Dongmei said it politely, but the more she saw the beauty, the more she looked at it and she liked it very much.

At this time, Gao Mingcheng took out two more things.

"Uncle and aunt, this is a pen I bought in the capital. The quality is very good. I will give each of you a pen!"

Gao Mingcheng originally planned to give Zhao Dongmei a turquoise, but Zhao Dongmei bought it with her own money and there was no need to give it away, so he just gave each person a pen.

Both of them have jobs and need to use pens.

Sure enough, both Gao Guobing and Zhao Dongmei were very satisfied with this gift.

After the four chatted for a while, Gao Mingcheng left with a lot of beauty.

The two families live close to each other, less than a hundred meters apart.

But Gao Mingcheng was not at home before, and Duo Mei took Xiao Xuxu to live at the clothing store.

Pushing the door open and walking into the yard, Gao Mingcheng saw that the yard was very clean, and the flowers and osmanthus trees in the flowerbed were growing well.

Duo Mei said: "After receiving your call, I took a long time to clean the house."

After she turned on the light in the living room, she quickly walked into the bathroom and plugged in the water heater.

Then he went to light a fire and prepare a pot of boiling water for drinking.

Gao Mingcheng leaned against the door frame, looking at the many beauties busy with gentle eyes, feeling as quiet and beautiful as fireworks in the world. (End of chapter)
