Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Although Gao Hong resisted in every possible way, he was forced to make an egg white milk powder mask before going to bed.

Pour the egg white into a bowl, scoop a spoonful of milk powder, mix well, and then apply it on your face. After a few minutes, wash your face clean. At this time, even if your skin is rough, it will feel smoother than usual. few.

Gao Hong's skin is in good condition. Although he is tanned, he has no acne. After applying the mask, although my skin is still dark, it looks much better.

After a good night's sleep, the National Day came the next day.

On National Day, all units and schools are on holiday.

However, self-employed people work all year round, and they still open shops and set up stalls, busy for a few taels of silver.

Early in the morning, after Gao Mingcheng got up, he went to wash up and put on a pair of brand new clothes. He was not the groom or the best man, so he didn't have to dress formally, as long as he was casual and appropriate.

Gao Mingcheng was going to Gao Guobing's place to help entertain the guests, so he had to go there early.

Before going out, he said to Duo Mei: "You take Xiao Xuxu to rest at home, and when dinner starts at noon, just go directly to the restaurant. I will prepare the red envelope, and you can just go there."

Duo Mei said: "I will wash the clothes later and take Xiao Xuxu to the clothing store. At noon, Shufang and the others will go to the hotel for a wedding banquet."

The Gao family and the Li family both lived in the county, but the two families were also some distance apart, so Gao Mingcheng drove and took Gao Hong, Gao Yue and several other classmates and friends to pick up the bride.

Gao Mingcheng looked down at the many beauties and said, "Did you bring the camera?"

In the morning, everyone went to the bride's house to pick up people in a lively manner. Several young people had a lot of firecrackers in their trouser pockets. From time to time, they lit a firecracker and threw it in an empty place. When the firecracker exploded, there were immediately a few more firecrackers. A lively atmosphere.

After deciding on the hotel where the banquet would be held, Zhao Dongmei called Li Fei to the hotel and told her which tables would be occupied by the man's relatives and friends, and which tables would be occupied by the woman's relatives and friends. Once they were clearly distinguished, it would be convenient. Their relatives and friends took their seats.

After picking up the bride, Gao Mingcheng did not drive directly back to the hotel where the wedding banquet was held. Instead, he ran around the main roads of the entire county. After attracting curious looks from many people, he returned with satisfaction. To the hotel.

So this time Gao Hong got married, there were very few people from Gaojia Village coming over, but there were quite a few relatives from Zhao Dongmei's side.

Therefore, Gao Mingcheng contributed a lot to Gao Hong's wedding. As Gao Hong's good brother, he naturally helped to welcome the bride.

Li Fei does not need to be like the ladies in ancient times, wearing a red hijab and doing nothing. Instead, she enthusiastically guides her relatives from her mother's side to sit down.

This kind of two-cab light truck may not look as stylish as the Santana, but it is indeed very practical. It can seat a lot of people, and the trunk in the back can even pull a dowry!

Gao Guobing hired a camera to record today, but since Gao Mingcheng had a camera, he decided to bring it too and planned to take a few photos as a souvenir.

As soon as the groom, bride and others arrived at the hotel, many people immediately gathered around and talked to Gao Hong and Li Fei.

Gao Mingcheng and Gao Yue were not idle either. They held a pack of good cigarettes in their hands and were letting people loose cigarettes with a smile. After a while, the pack of cigarettes was gone, so they took out another pack of cigarettes from their trouser pockets.

Duomei nodded and handed him the camera she brought.

When we went to pick up the bride, the photographer we hired was filming nearby with a camera, capturing all these precious scenes on the video tape. Years later, when people watch it again, it will be like a treasure trove. Good wine that has been produced for decades, has a fragrant aroma and a mellow taste.

In order to make a grand appearance today, Gao Mingcheng washed the car clean yesterday and put red happy words on the car. It looked festive.

Gao Mingcheng hurriedly walked over to greet everyone in Gaojiacun and spread cigarettes for them.

Gao Mingcheng saw many Mei and Xiao Xuxu in the crowd. Beside her, there were Gao Mingli and his wife and Gao Shufang. But when he looked more closely, Gao Mingcheng found that his father, his eldest brother, the village party secretary, and some other people in the village The respected elders also came.

Although Gao Guobing came from a big family in Gaojia Village, he had few direct relatives. In that era, his family was considered to be very small. His current position as deputy director was all due to his own hard work.

Gao Mingcheng rarely took advantage of them when doing business, and he was a true man, never causing trouble for them, and even often gave them things. The two families had close ties.

As the child of Gao Guobing and his wife, Gao Mingcheng has always regarded him as half a son. Especially a few years ago, with the help of Gao Mingcheng, Gao Guobing solved several major cases and successfully became the Became deputy director.

Gao Mingcheng nodded, indicating that he understood.

Before, he had to drive and greet guests, so even if he had a camera, he didn't have time to take pictures, so he asked Duo Mei to bring it. Now his tasks are not so heavy. He has Gao Yueding in front of him to conduct the wedding ceremony and hold the wine. .

After Gao Mingcheng got the camera, he checked the film and then debugged it.

He said to many beautiful people: "Come on, everyone get ready, I will take a photo for everyone."

Although it has been 90 years, taking pictures is still a rare thing for the villagers. When they heard that they were going to take pictures, some people were busy arranging their hair and clothes, while others were nervous and straight-faced, not even moving. Dare to act rashly.

Gao Mingcheng took a few steps back. After finding a good lens, he pressed the shutter and started taking pictures.

In addition to taking pictures of everyone in Gaojiacun, he also took pictures of other guests, focusing on today's protagonists - Gao Hong and Li Fei.

Gao Hong was wearing a new suit sent by Gao Mingcheng, looking tall and confident, while Li Fei was wearing a white wedding dress decorated with pearls and lace, looking extremely beautiful.

Li Fei wore light makeup and a veil, which was different from her previous image and attracted many people's attention.

Even Gao Hong, the groom's official, often looked at Li Fei in confusion.

After the ceremony is completed, the wedding banquet is about to begin.

While the food was being served, Li Fei went to the hotel's backyard room to take off her wedding dress and put on a red dress.

Her hair is tied up. After taking off the veil, she puts on a red flower to match the red dress, making it festive again.

After the new image was released, Gao Mingcheng turned into a photographer again and kept pressing the shutter to preserve the scenes.

Gao Mingcheng was a married man and did not need to be the best man, so he had half a day to spare, sitting next to his wife and children, talking and eating together.

But before he could eat a few chopsticks, he was pulled away by Gao Yue.

"Let's go, it's time to toast later! You have to help my brother block it!"

Gao Yue can drink, but he is still a student and his drinking capacity is limited. Naturally, he has to find foreign aid. The people responsible for holding back the alcohol have all agreed that the groom must not be drunk!
This bridal chamber is worth thousands of gold in a moment, so how can you not wake up after being drunk?

Before Gao Mingcheng was taken away, he only had time to hand over the camera to Duo Mei for care, and said in a hurry: "Just take care of yourself and eat well!"

Seeing Gao Mingcheng being pulled away by Gao Yue, Gao Mingli's eyes showed a hint of eagerness to try, but he was still a little timid in his heart.

At this time, he noticed that his father said to his eldest brother Gao Mingpeng: "Mingpeng, you have a good drinker, you should also help!"

Even the village party secretary supported Gao Mingpeng in helping. If the village party secretary hadn't been too old to join in, he would have wanted to go.

It sounds like it's to protect Gao Hong from drinking, but in fact it's just to show up in front of big shots and become familiar with him. If you need to trouble others in the future, it will be easier to talk to others if they recognize you.

Among the guests present, in addition to relatives and friends of both men and women, there were also Gao Guobing and Zhao Dongmei's colleagues in the unit, as well as some second-in-commands and third-in-commands from other units.

For example, Director Wang of the Cultural Relics Management Office was a friend of Gao Guobing, and some section chiefs and office directors from the Transportation Bureau also came.

It can be said that half of the county officials gathered in this small restaurant.

In addition to these officials, there are also many people who run factories and do business, but the relationship between these people and Gao Guobing is not particularly close. They just come to give gifts and then sit next to them to have a meal.

Gao Mingpeng rarely came to the county. In fact, he couldn't even recognize everyone. Although he felt a little unsure, he was still a bit bold. With the encouragement of his father and the village party secretary, he stood up and walked towards Gao Hong. go.

Seeing this, Gao Mingli put down the chopsticks in his hands and followed him without having time to think too much.

Because he saw that not only his eldest brother, but also his third brother Gao Mingwan was among the people blocking the drinks!

In this case, even though Gao Mingli felt a little timid, he didn't want to lose this opportunity.

When he hurriedly followed, the team holding back the wine was already quite large.

Gao Hong saw it, with a smile on his face, but lowered his head and whispered to Li Fei beside him: "I can drink well!"

Li Fei pursed her lips and gave him a funny look. She could feel this man's unwillingness to admit defeat.

However, no matter how good the groom's drinking capacity is, he still needs to have relatives and friends who can stop the drinking. Only then can the ceremony be lively and lively. If someone keeps trying to persuade the groom to drink, the groom can get away.

Sure enough, after everyone toasted, the guests showed their performance.

Due to their low status, some people just drink politely and offer good wishes when the newlyweds come over to toast.

But there are also people who rely on their small status to think of ways to get the newcomers drunk, some with witty words to persuade them to drink, and some with seniority. In this case, after Gao Hong and Li Fei drank a glass of wine, they were responsible for blocking the newcomers. Jiu’s relatives and friends came forward.

The person responsible for holding the drinks must not just be a good drinker, but must also be able to talk. The guests want the groom to drink, so you have to take over the topic and then drink yourself, so that the groom can get away in a dignified manner.

If you can't speak and just drink, the scene will be a bit ugly.

As the youngest son of Gao Guobing, Gao Yue is no stranger to his relatives and friends at home and can easily pick up the conversation. Although Gao Mingcheng rarely interacts with people, he also recognizes the identities of these people and also knows the future of these people. development of.

He knows who has been mediocre until retirement, who has been promoted, and who has done bad things, and he will never offend anyone with his words.

It is worth mentioning that among the guests present, there were also family members of Love Kindergarten. When they met Gao Mingcheng, they praised Gao Mingcheng for running the kindergarten well and were willing to promote Gao Mingcheng's kindergarten to other people.

One of them said: "Mingcheng, your kindergarten is okay in all aspects, but it's a little too small. The child can't even run well. If it were bigger, it would be better to have a small playground."

Hearing this, Gao Mingcheng said dumbfounded: "My kindergarten is private and it's on the street. I can't get such a large piece of land."

The guest smiled mysteriously and asked, "Then do you want to expand?"

Gao Mingcheng nodded without thinking: "I think so."

The current land price is cheap, and you won’t lose money if you buy it. In the future, whether you keep opening a kindergarten or use it for other purposes, you won’t lose money.

After the guest got the answer, he said nothing more and just said, "Just think about it."

The guests raised their glasses to clink their glasses with Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng hurriedly filled up his wine glass, clinked the glasses, and drank it all in one gulp.

He didn't ask any questions, just looked at the guest and smiled.

Well, it’s time to prepare money to buy land when we get back! If it needs to be expanded, there is a somewhat old house to the left of the kindergarten, but that house has its own small courtyard, which totals more than 100 square meters.

Behind the kindergarten, there is a piece of wasteland, but the wasteland is not big, it looks like it is less than a hundred square meters.

But it should be enough to expand it into a small playground. Then the ground will be leveled and a small runway will be made.

This thought flashed through Gao Mingcheng's mind, but it did not stay forever, because he quickly struck up a conversation with others, and then frequently blocked Gao Hong's drink.

After paying homage to all the guests, Gao Mingcheng felt top-heavy. He felt his blood surge and his cheeks were hot and flushed.

Gao Hong was not much better. Although many people stopped drinking for him, he had to drink some wine. For example, several of Li Fei's cousins ​​coaxed Gao Hong to drink a lot of wine. Gao Hong can only drink wine by himself, because he has to satisfy his brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

After Gao Hong was helped back to his seat by Li Fei, he felt like he was surviving a disaster.

"Eat some food and suppress the alcohol." Li Fei took the initiative to pick up some food for Gao Hong.

When I was toasting before, I didn't have time to eat the food. I drank a lot of wine in a short period of time. This way of drinking makes me drunk easily.

"Okay." Gao Hong smiled with his drunken eyes. Just when he was about to pick up some vegetables to eat, he felt his stomach was churning, so he ran to the bathroom.

When Gao Mingcheng saw it, he couldn't help but shook his head, thinking that Gao Hong's drinking capacity was really average!

He led his eldest brother Gao Mingpeng and fourth brother Gao Mingli back to their seats.

At this time, everyone else on the table had almost finished eating. Although there were still dishes on the table, there were not many.

People at this time have little resistance to delicious food.

"Mingcheng, Mingpeng, Mingli, come to this table to eat!" Zhao Dongmei noticed what was going on here and hurriedly directed Gao Mingcheng and the others to another table.

The chopsticks at that table were rarely used, and they were all prepared.

Several young people who were responsible for holding back the drinks were also walking towards this side at this time. We had just united the front and were comrades in the trenches. Now that we have met, even if there are people we were not familiar with before, they are laughing and talking warmly. .

"Come on, come on, eat some food!"

"Auntie, please take the wine off the table, we won't drink anymore!"

"Haha, that's right, let's just have some food and rice!"

Everyone laughed and asked Zhao Dongmei to take the white wine off the table. Zhao Dongmei saw that their cheeks were red, so she also smiled and stepped forward to take the wine away. (End of chapter)
