Return to the small mountain village in 1986

After Gao Mingcheng finished lunch, he looked back and saw that his wife Duomei had gone back with her son.

At this time, the table was full of people. Most of the guests who came to attend the wedding banquet had already left, leaving only the close relatives and friends of the couple. At this time, the waiters in the hotel were clearing away the dishes and cleaning.

Gao Mingcheng finished his meal, but he couldn't leave right away. He had to stay and help entertain the guests.

Next, everyone moved to Gao Guobing's home.

Playing cards, playing mahjong and chatting are the next entertainment items. After having dinner together in the evening, they can disperse and leave space for the new couple.

Before Gao Mingcheng left, he looked at his father Gao Yuanyuan and asked how they came to the county.

Gao Yuanyuan also drank wine, his cheeks were flushed, and the smell of alcohol came out of his mouth when he spoke. Despite this, he still held a cigarette in his hand and took two puffs from time to time.

Gao Guobing served his son a banquet today, using both good wine and cigarettes. Therefore, Gao Yuanyuan and the others drank and smoked.

Gao Yuan said cheerfully: "We drove your tractor here! Your elder brother drove the car, and his driving skills are so good now!"

Gao Mingcheng turned to look at his elder brother Gao Mingpeng.

After making arrangements for the eldest son, Zhao Dongmei came to arrange for the younger son again.

Gao Hong seemed to understand, and obediently went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Gao Mingwan works in a transportation company and knows a few people. When he meets someone he is familiar with, he can immediately strike up a conversation and in a few words, they can get closer to each other.

The whole day, Gao Mingcheng stayed here to help accompany the guests, until after dinner and other guests left, he also made a move to leave.

After sending Gao Mingcheng away, a hint of shyness appeared in Gao Hong's eyes. Even though he was a tough guy, tough guys can also be tender.

The reason for giving this face is because Gao Guobing is full of praise when he mentions Gao Mingcheng, and the relationship between Gao Mingcheng and Gao Hong and Gao Yue is indeed very good.

He turned around and saw Li Fei, who was helping Zhao Dongmei tidy up the tables and chairs and clean the bathroom.

Gao Yue still somewhat wanted to stay in the province or go to the city. As for the county, that was his last plan.

"Okay." Gao Yuanyuan nodded, and then said to the village party secretary and others: "Then I will take you to Mingcheng's shop to sit and have a look. You might as well go there to have a look."

Gao Yue said angrily: "I know, I promise I won't even let out a sound of anger!"

Most of their relatives and friends are rich, but buying all the furniture and appliances would cost a lot of money.

After Gao Mingcheng returned to the county for development, the small construction team established by the three brothers was merged into the company and began to grow bigger and stronger.

Zhao Dongmei was amused, patted his shoulder affectionately, and said happily: "Your brother is getting married, so I am half relieved. After you graduate, I will also find you a good wife!"

After all, it was not just their father and son who were riding in the car, but also the village party secretary and several elders in the village.

The police academy is allotted. If you have connections and you have some skills, you can be assigned to a good unit.

Zhao Dongmei was here, so she said: "Feifei, don't clean up. You've been tired for a day. You'd better go back to the house and rest quickly. Oh, the water heater is installed in the bathroom on the first floor. You take a shower on the first floor and then go back to the third floor. have a rest!"

When the other people saw him, they didn't laugh at him for his poor drinking capacity. Instead, they thought he was the one who got him drunk by pouring wine, and they felt inexplicably proud in their hearts.

When Zhao Dongmei saw it, her eyes were smiling.

After arranging Gao Yuan and Gao Mingpeng to go to the clothing store, Gao Mingcheng stepped forward and helped the drunk Gao Hong back home.

They say October is the golden month of autumn, but the weather today is quite hot. Li Fei has been exhausted and sweating from being busy from morning to night, so even though she felt shy, she nodded, went to get her change of clothes, and entered the bathroom. bath.

When relatives and friends entered the house just now, they all looked at these electrical appliances and were all amazed by them.

When they were holding back the wine, Gao Mingpeng, Gao Mingwan and Gao Mingli were also behind the team. However, they were not familiar with the guests at the wine table, so it was difficult for them to take the initiative to strike up a conversation. They just followed along. Drinking can help Gao Hong build up his momentum.

I have to say that the profession of long-distance driver is quite training.

When Gao Mingcheng went to help Gao Hong with his drink just now, he watched carefully on the side and knew that Gao Mingcheng was indeed doing well. Officials in this county were willing to give Gao Mingcheng face.

Gao Hong laughed and gently hit him a few times.

After coming out of the bathroom, she didn't know whether it was because of the heat or because she was shy. Her cheeks turned red and she hurried upstairs in her pajamas.

Gao Yuanyuan can drive a tractor himself, but he also drank a lot before. Although he didn't feel too drunk, he was afraid that something would happen on the road and he would not be able to explain it when the time came.

Zhao Dongmei said seriously: "Gao Yue, you can either sleep on the first floor at night, or you can be obedient on the second floor without making any noise, and you can't go to the third floor to listen to the corners. Do you understand? Your sister-in-law is a cultured person and is thin-skinned!"

Gao Mingcheng saw that each of them had drunk a lot, and he was afraid that something would happen on the road, so he said: "Brother drank a lot, so I'm afraid it won't be good to drive right away. How about you guys go to the clothing store and sit there?" After calming down, drive back. Oh, I have kudzu flowers over there. Let Shufang make some kudzu flower water for you to relieve your hangover. "

In his previous life, Gao Mingwan followed Gao Mingpeng and worked together on the construction site. At that time, he was in a gray state all day long and the people he knew were not high-level.

"Okay, okay." The village party secretary nodded, with a smile on his face.

I have used up all my energy and energy during the day, what should I do at night?
Gao Hong was not stupid, so he staggered along with the support of Gao Mingcheng and Gao Yue.

Gao Yue just wanted to roll his eyes. He was an adult and no longer a little kid who didn't understand anything. Why did his mother need to give him such advice?

After the topic of finding a wife came to him, Gao Yue finally felt a little embarrassed. He said calmly: "It will take more than a year for me to graduate. It's still early! After graduation, I don't know where I will be assigned."

"Let's go, let's go!"

Perhaps it was telepathy. The moment Li Fei picked up the plate and stood up, her eyes happened to glance at Gao Hong. The two looked at each other, and an electric current flashed through them, causing their cheeks to turn slightly red.

In order to prepare for her eldest son's wedding, Zhao Dongmei installed a water heater in advance, and bought a refrigerator and a washing machine. She had bought all the popular furniture and appliances.

Gao Hong had vomited in the bathroom just now, and he was actually feeling better, but he still had to pretend to be drunk so that he could go back to the house to rest later instead of accompanying guests non-stop.

She patted Gao Hong on the shoulder and said, "Stop cleaning up. You should take a shower and then go back to the house to sleep! There is a bathroom on the third floor, but there is no hot water. You can carry two thermos bottles upstairs if you want to use them. For hot water, use the thermos bottle.”

But before leaving, Gao Mingcheng did not forget to face Gao Hong's arms and said in a low voice: "A moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold, brother, keep going!"

Gao Yuanyuan looked at Gao Mingpeng. Gao Mingpeng had indeed drank a lot of wine, and his face was red.

Apart from these three places, he did not consider other places.

It’s good to be at home for a thousand days, but it’s hard to go out for a while, and I went to a place I’m not familiar with. If there are development prospects there, then Gao Yue is willing to fight for it. If it’s not as good as their county, or about the same as their county, then why should he go? Out of town?
How great it would be to go back to work in your own county!
Therefore, Gao Guobing built a three-story building, giving the second floor to Gao Yue and the third floor to Gao Hong, because Gao Yue would most likely go back to the county to work, and it would be more convenient to live on the second floor.

Gao Guobing was sitting on the sofa, drinking kudzu water soaked in an enamel cup. He did not participate in this topic, but his expression was relaxed and cheerful, and he was in a good mood at first glance.

As parents, it is natural to be extremely happy to see that their son can start a family and start a career.

Gao Mingcheng was naturally unaware of what was going on here. He had already returned to his home at this time. The two families were not far apart. He had already taken a bath and was relaxing on the sofa to rest.

On the coffee table, there is also a cup of kudzu water, which Duomei made for him.

Seeing the kudzu flower water, Gao Mingcheng remembered that last year he went to the mountains to dig a lot of kudzu roots and then made kudzu powder. He turned to Duomei and asked: "Duomei, do you still have the kudzu powder at home?"

Duo Mei said: "One more thing, do you want to eat? If you want to eat, I will make some for you in boiling water!"

Arrowroot starch is the same as lotus root starch. If you want convenience, just dissolve it with warm water, then pour boiling hot water on it. Stir while pouring, so that the arrowroot starch will change from white to translucent paste.

Eating it while it's hot also has the effect of relieving hangover and filling your stomach.

Gao Mingcheng shook his head and said: "No, I ate a lot of miscellaneous food today, and my stomach is a little full. I was thinking about going into the mountains to get some kudzu this winter."

Many beauties thought that arrowroot powder was delicious to eat, but it was very troublesome to make, so they said, "You can do it. If you have time, you can make some."

Gao Mingcheng nodded, thinking of his father and his eldest brother again, so he asked, "When did my father and the others leave?"

Duo Mei said: "We didn't let them leave until four o'clock. It took about an hour to drive. It was still dark when we got home, just in time for dinner."

Duo Mei knew that he was worried, so he added: "I made them all drink kudzu flower water, and bought melon seeds, peanuts and cakes to entertain the guests. I also let dad take away the uneaten cakes."

Gao Mingcheng nodded, feeling very pleased when he saw the many beauties in his eyes. He felt a sense of admiration for a man who has a virtuous wife at home and does not suffer misfortune.

While answering this question, Gao Mingcheng felt that his head was a little heavy and his eyelids could hardly open, so he walked to the bedroom with a somewhat unsteady pace. Before leaving, he did not forget to touch Xiaoxu. Xu's head turned and said: "After watching this episode of cartoons, you are not allowed to watch it and go to sleep with your mother!"

Xiao Xuxu sat on the sofa and said obediently, "Okay."

It was only after his father went to the bedroom to go to sleep that he looked up at the many beauties and asked, "Mom, can I watch one more episode?"

The smiles on many beauties' faces instantly disappeared, and they refused ruthlessly: "No."

Xiao Xuxu pouted and had no choice but to accept the sanctions from his parents.

That night, Gao Mingcheng fell asleep soundly. When he woke up, the smell of alcohol and fatigue disappeared, and he felt relaxed and at ease again.

Before dawn, Gao Mingcheng quietly got up, went to the yard to stretch his muscles, and then did a set of boxing techniques.

Practicing boxing can be addictive. Gao Mingcheng felt that this small courtyard could no longer restrain him. He took a few steps and jumped directly onto the wall. His feet landed on the wall. With another slight jump, he was outside the courtyard. .

He was clearly the man of the house, but his behavior of jumping over the wall at this time looked extremely suspicious. Fortunately, no one nearby witnessed this scene. After Gao Mingcheng landed, he ran towards the hill behind the house as fast as an ape. .

Behind the house is a mountain forest. Although it is not big, it is better than a steel and concrete house. Being among the woods, Gao Mingcheng feels very happy both physically and mentally. There is a thin mist of water in the forest, which hits his face, making it slightly cool.

After a while, after the sun rises, under the illumination of the morning light, the water mist will dissipate into the void, as if it had never appeared before.

Gao Mingcheng ran and stretched his body in this small mountain. After the first ray of morning light came from the east, he stopped, faced the morning light, and admired the beauty of the sunrise.

The beauty of the sunrise is at the top of the mountain and the edge of the sea, but at this time there are no mountains or sea. Gao Mingcheng stands on a hill and looks at the rising sun.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to sit down and meditate.

The thought came so suddenly and quickly, but Gao Mingcheng hesitated and suppressed it in his heart.

But Gao Mingcheng suddenly felt very sad. Maybe he had a happy family and a little money. He suddenly wanted to slow down, build a wooden house in the mountains, meditate and eliminate distracting thoughts.

Since people were born, they have been experiencing all kinds of things, some good and some bad. These things have all turned into imprints and been sealed in the heart.

Experience can make people live a better life, but distracting thoughts can also make people's temperament change.

Only then can you meditate and eliminate distracting thoughts, so that you can go into battle lightly and run towards the future.

In an instant, many thoughts appeared and disappeared in Gao Mingcheng's mind. By the time he walked down the mountain step by step, his mentality had stabilized.

He did not go home directly, but followed the path to a breakfast shop on the street, bought breakfast for his family, and then went home.

At night, the yard door is locked from the inside, or the old-fashioned lock, an iron rod is inserted into the door bolt, and then the iron lock is hung.

This kind of lock is useless even if Gao Mingcheng has the key. It can't be opened from the outside.

Gao Mingcheng stood in front of the door. After being stunned for a few seconds, he quickly made a decision. How did he get out before, so let's go in now!
He was afraid of spilling the rice noodles and soy milk, so he put his breakfast at the door and then took a few steps back to prepare for a run.

As soon as he jumped onto the wall, Gao Mingcheng saw a familiar face out of the corner of his eye.

Gao Yue maintained his running posture, looking at Gao Mingcheng in surprise, his eyes silently asking - what are you doing?
Unexpectedly, he met an acquaintance this early in the morning. Gao Mingcheng smiled sheepishly, but had no time to say anything more. Instead, he jumped directly into the yard and opened the door from the inside.

Gao Yue had already reached the door of his house, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This morning, I actually caught the flower-picking thief!"

Gao Mingcheng laughed and cursed: "My wife is pregnant with a second child, don't you know? I can't be a flower-picking thief."

Gao Yue immediately said: "Oh, it looks like he went to steal something?"

Gao Yue spoke in a loud voice, which frightened Gao Mingcheng's face. He quickly reached out to cover his mouth, sweating profusely.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Gao Mingcheng stopped Gao Yue from talking nonsense and looked back, fearing that many beauties would appear behind him.

Fortunately, after being pregnant with the second child, many girls are more lethargic than usual, and they probably haven't gotten up yet.

Gao Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Gao Yue fiercely, and then released his hand covering Gao Yue's mouth.

Gao Yue's face was distorted and he cursed: "You want to cover me to death!"

Gao Mingcheng didn't care about him and said: "Who told you to speak freely? Gao Yue, I will hold a grudge. I will wait until you get married...hehe..."

Gao Yue was immediately frightened. Although his wife was still missing, he knew that Gao Mingcheng really held a grudge and dared to cause trouble!
The key is that his parents were deceived by Gao Mingcheng. They thought Gao Mingcheng was good at everything, calm and steady, courageous and resourceful, bah!

Gao Yue was very unhappy, but he also knew that he was talking too fast. Fortunately, Duo Mei didn't hear it, otherwise he would have felt embarrassed.

That's how brothers are, laughing and scolding, making trouble and making trouble, and everything will be over soon afterwards.

Gao Mingcheng picked up the breakfast on the ground and said, "I bought a lot of breakfast, let's eat some together?"

Gao Yue shook his head and said, "No, I just came out of the house and planned to run for half an hour before going back for breakfast."

Gao Mingcheng pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said: "Oh, so you are planning to steal something!"

Gao Yue was raising his feet to run. He was frightened by Gao Mingcheng's words. He glared at him angrily, and then said angrily: "For my Qingbai, then you run with me!"

Gao Mingcheng touched his nose and knew that he had offended someone too much, so he smiled and stopped talking.

But Gao Yue lost his temper and insisted on taking Gao Mingcheng to run away with him.

Gao Mingcheng was helpless and said: "I woke up at around four o'clock, boxed again, and went for a few runs in the mountains behind the house. Now I just want to go home and have breakfast!"

"What to eat? Run!" Gao Yueniu got angry. Under his strong request, Gao Mingcheng had to put the breakfast he bought on the table, and then he took two meat buns and a bag of soy milk to eat. (End of chapter)
