333 Stereotype
Gao Qinghe leaned lazily against the security door.
Watching the numbers on the display light drop layer by layer, I counted silently in my mind:
One, two, three, four...
When I counted to six, the falling floors began to rise one by one.
With a "ding" sound, the closed elevator door opened again.
Two duffel bags were thrown out.
Qi Lianxin stood with his hands on his hips, walked out of the elevator with a fierce look on his face, and gritted his teeth at Gao Qinghe, who was leaning against the door with a triumphant smile on his face.
"I'm not leaving!"
She couldn't bear to watch her sweet baby live a dangerous life where the microwave could explode at any time!
Gao Qinghe walked forward and took her mother-in-law's hand. "Mom, I knew that grandmothers love their granddaughters the most. Having you as a grandmother is a blessing that Yueyue has earned in eight lifetimes."
As he said this, he turned around and signaled the father and daughter who were stunned at the elevator door to quickly take grandma's luggage bag home.
Surrounded by the family of three, Qi Lianxin couldn't help but smile as he walked into his new home.
But the happiness didn't last more than a minute, and I immediately thought of the things in my hometown that I couldn't let go of.
Just as I was about to speak, I heard Gao Qinghe say:
"Don't worry, I can just call my second aunt and she'll take care of it. Please ask them to take care of the chickens, ducks, and vegetables you raised back home. Let them keep the money as a reward for their hard work."
"As for your belongings, Mom, I'll have Miaomiao bring them over later. He has the spare key I left behind. But don't even think about taking the big items. We won't need them here, so just leave them back home."
Gao Qinghe poured a glass of cold milk for herself and her mother-in-law. Qi Lianxin subconsciously picked it up and drank it, and her gums shivered from the cold.
She had told them thousands of times to take the milk out of the refrigerator and heat it up before drinking it, but no one listened to her.
"Give me!"
Qi Lianxin stood up, snatched the cup from Gao Qinghe's hand, and put it in the microwave to heat it up.
He was still muttering about the things in his hometown that he was reluctant to give up.
Gao Qinghe motioned Jiang Baohai to bring a notebook, wrote down everything, crossed out the troublesome ones, and finally made a list, which he handed to Qi Lianxin to read.
Ask Miaomiao to unplug all the appliances, clean them and lock them in the bedroom.
I have a full set of brand new pots, pans, and utensils in my new home, so I'll keep them at my old home so I can have some to use if I move back.
As for other furniture in the house, I will ask Miaomiao to buy plastic sheets to cover them to prevent dust.
Qi Lianxin's own sewing machine and other things were also left behind.
"That won't do." Qi Lianxin said reluctantly, "The sewing machine at home was my dowry. I've used it for decades, and I can't find one that's more comfortable to use than this one."
Gao Qinghe said, "There are new models of sewing machines now. They are powered by motors and are much more efficient than the old ones. I'll ask Yueyue's father to take you to buy one later."
Qi Lianxin shook his head, "No, no, I can't get used to it. I just like my sewing machine."
Gao Qinghe looked at her husband helplessly. Jiang Baohai still understood his mother and said:
"It's not cheap to send a large item by post. It's better to go to the market and buy a new one, one for each side. Otherwise, if you go back to your hometown one day, you might not have the one you want."
Qi Lianxin: "Well, that's fine too. How much is it? Is it expensive? Do you need a ticket?"
The prices in the 1960s were definitely different from those in the 1990s. Afraid that she wouldn't be able to accept it, Jiang Baohai said perfunctorily:
"We no longer need tickets. Now that our industry is developed, it's definitely cheaper than when you bought it before."
Only then did Qi Lianxin cover his pounding heart and feel a little relieved.
"Well, how about I go back first and take care of things before coming back?"
After thinking about it, Qi Lianxin still asked tentatively out of concern.
Jiang Baohai put Jiang Qiyue in front of her grandmother and said, "Miaomiao is reliable. You can rest assured. Take your granddaughter downstairs to play in the sand."
If he doesn't let the little one go out, her excess energy will annoy him and his wife to death.
"Grandma~" Jiang Qiyue blinked his big eyes and looked at his grandma expectantly, his heart wanting to go out had already flown away.
Qi Lianxin sighed and kept telling himself to relax. He motioned for his granddaughter to wait for a moment, and went to fill a pot of water and get some snacks. Then the two of them prepared to go downstairs.
"Xiao He."
Qi Lianxin suddenly remembered and asked, "What is Miaomiao doing in the provincial capital?"
Gao Qinghe, who was moving her mother-in-law's luggage into the room, turned around and replied, "My eldest cousin is getting married, and he's here to attend the wedding."
I calculated the time in my mind and said, "Come the day after tomorrow. I'll call him later and ask him to take care of the things back home."
There is only one day left tomorrow, Gao Qinghe believes that his brother can do it!
Half an hour later.
Gao Qingmiao, who suddenly received a call, collapsed and asked, "Gao Qinghe! Do you want to tire your own brother to death in just one day?"
Gao Qinghe raised his nose and asked, "What did you call me?"
Besides, if she told him now that he still had a day and a half to deal with it, exactly, how could he be exhausted to death?
The dangerous atmosphere reached Gao Qingmiao along the telephone line. The young man coughed twice and said:
"Don't worry, sis. I promise to complete the task."
Gao Qinghe snorted lightly and then hung up the phone.
After thinking about it, I called my mother's family again and told my father to remember to buy tickets in advance so that he could come to the wedding.
Gao Chongyi has already received the notice from the old house that his eldest nephew is getting married, and it is also the first big happy event after he got to know his family. He must come and has asked for leave from the village in advance.
"When you have time, go find your mother and tell her that I already informed her last time, but I was afraid she was too busy to remember."
Gao Chongyi gave instructions before hanging up the phone.
Gao Qinghe nodded in agreement.
Jiang Baohai saw his wife hang up the phone and asked curiously:
"We've been in town for a while now. I've called Mom several times, but she always said she'd come when she was done. But she hasn't come yet. What's she busy with?"
"Are you having trouble with the project?"
Gao Qinghe knew what he meant. If he encountered difficulties with funds or other aspects, he could tell them and they might be able to help.
But since my mother didn't say anything, she should be able to solve it herself.
"I'm going to buy a dress for my wedding tomorrow. Would you like to come with me, Mr. Jiang?"
Gao Qinghe specifically reminded him: "This is my cousin's first wedding. In addition to the gift money, I want to prepare another gift."
What I mean is that you won’t prepare a gift the second time?
Jiang Baohai said, "Let's go together tomorrow. I just don't know what my brother-in-law from the research institute likes."
It’s easy to prepare a gift, but you can’t just give it casually. At least you have to give it to the recipient.
This touched Gao Qinghe's blind spot.
"I haven't met him either. I heard from my dad that my eldest cousin is very serious and a bit dull."
Jiang Baohai said hi, waved his hands and said as if he understood everything:
"I get it, socially anxious scientists, people like them who do research are all like this."
All his attention is focused on scientific research and he is not good at socializing.
Gao Qinghe rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're just stereotyping me."
But…from what my dad said, my eldest cousin is really a stereotype.
"Then give him something practical, like a brand new color TV?"
Jiang Baohai looked at his wife. As far as he knew, the salary for scientific research was not high.
Of course, you can afford to buy a color TV, but you may not be willing to spend money on it.
Gao Qinghe thought about it and felt that giving home appliances as a wedding gift was indeed a good idea.
But she has to wait for her to make a phone call to test whether the old house is ready.
In case the old house is prepared, you can also replace other home appliances.
He did what he said. When his daughter came home with her grandmother covered in sand after playing, Gao Qinghe immediately asked his daughter to call his new wife to say hello to the old lady.
After some indirect inquiries, Gao Qinghe learned that his uncle and aunt had already prepared a color TV and a refrigerator, so he decided to give them a washing machine.
