Chapter 420 Rebellious Psychology
Because of the need to breastfeed, Xuanyuemei always slept with little Xuxu, but on the day Gao Mingcheng came back, the sleeping little Xuxu was taken to Hu Yinchen's bed to sleep.
Gao Mingcheng said: "If he wakes up, Auntie, you can make him some milk powder!"
Hu Yinchen had an expression that said I understand, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, don't worry, I know."
As the months go by, little Xuxu sleeps more soundly at night. Although he still needs milk and diaper changes, he is easier to take care of than in the previous months.
Hu Yinchen is confident that she can raise Xuxu well and will never let little Xuxu disturb his parents' good times.
As for what the good news was, Hu Yinchen, as someone who had experienced it, just smiled and said nothing.
That night, Gao Mingcheng fell asleep as he wished, hugging many beauties. As for what happened before he fell asleep, it is unspeakable.
…
The next morning, Gao Mingcheng said to Hu Yinchen to express his gratitude: "Aunt Hu, you have been working in my house for more than five months. You have done a good job in these five months, but you have inevitably neglected the family. So I think you can be like Luo Li in the future, come here to work during the day and go home to sleep at night. What do you think?"
When Hu Yinchen heard the first few sentences, she looked anxious, thinking that Gao Mingcheng was planning to fire her.
But after hearing everything, the anxiety on her face turned into confusion.
To be honest, she did miss her children, her husband and her relatives, but making money was also very important. So for the sake of money, Hu Yinchen suppressed her inner longing. When she really missed them so much, she asked Xuanyuemei for leave for an hour or two and went home to see them.
Now that Gao Mingcheng had said this, Hu Yinchen hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Then... do you want to reduce your salary?"
Gao Mingcheng had seen her look troubled before and thought something was wrong, but he finally understood after hearing these words.
He thought about it and felt that if his salary was reduced, Hu Yinchen might feel uncomfortable because her salary had already been reduced once.
Initially, he hired someone to take care of Xuanmei during her confinement period and look after the child, so he paid a high price. After Xuanmei finished her confinement period, the mother no longer needed care and there was one more person to take care of the child, so Hu Yinchen's workload was greatly reduced.
So during the Chinese New Year, Gao Mingcheng and Hu Yinchen made it clear that their salaries would be reduced after the New Year, and if they could accept that, they could come back after the New Year.
Because the new salary was not too low and was on par with the salary of formal workers, plus it included food and accommodation, Hu Yinchen felt it was a good deal and naturally accepted it.
But if the salary is reduced again now... Hu Yinchen looked at Gao Mingcheng nervously.
Gao Mingcheng said, "No salary reduction. How about this? When I'm at home, you can go back and rest. When I'm not at home, you stay here. What do you think?"
Gao Mingcheng was thinking that sometimes he had to go out to purchase goods, or go back to the village to do business. If the child happened to cry or get sick, Xuanyue would be able to relax a little if Hu Yinchen stayed here to help take care of the child.
After hearing this, Hu Yinchen nodded without thinking too much and said repeatedly: "Okay, that's great."
After the matter was settled, Hu Yinchen returned home that evening, carrying a small bag of things. She walked with a breeze and a smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was in a very good mood.
When she returned home, her family members were surprised to see her back. The two children threw themselves into her arms, calling her "Mommy" non-stop.
No matter how old a child is, he is still a child in front of his mother.
Someone asked Hu Yinchen why she came back, and Hu Yinchen said that she could come back to live in the future, and everyone became even happier.
Hu Yinchen was happy, and Gao Mingcheng was also very happy. Except when he needed to feed the child, he always held the child, made the child laugh, and even lifted the child up and used him as a dumbbell for fitness.
The child was also brave. Not only was he not afraid, he even giggled.
The small room was filled with laughter.
Gao Shufang was also happily teasing Xiao Xuxu, but Gao Mingli felt a bit like an outsider. He sat in the corner, glancing at Gao Mingcheng from time to time.
He thought he was being secretive, but Gao Mingcheng's five senses were stronger than those of ordinary people, so he had naturally discovered it long ago.
When he had amused Xiao Xuxu enough, he handed Xiao Xuxu to Xuanyuemei, then walked in front of Gao Mingli and said, "Just tell me what you want to say."
It’s not that he wants to be a close friend, but Gao Mingli’s expression shows that something is wrong. If he doesn’t ask clearly now, he might cause trouble for him later.
In front of Gao Mingcheng, Gao Mingli instinctively shrank back.
He took a deep breath, then mustered up the courage to say, "Second brother, during the Chinese New Year, Mom asked a matchmaker to look for me. She looked at several people, but I was not satisfied with any of them. Now Mom wants me to get engaged to one of the girls directly, but I don't want to. Second brother, what do you think I should do?"
Gao Mingli was a little conflicted because when Luo Xiaohua asked him to get engaged, he was unwilling. Then Luo Xiaohua said that if he did not get engaged to the person of her choice, she would not give Gao Mingli the bride price, and asked Gao Mingli to follow the example of Gao Mingcheng and Gao Mingwan and pay the bride price and buy a house himself.
However, Gao Mingcheng and Gao Mingwan have made a lot of money, so they can afford the bride price and buy a house, but what about him? With that little salary, if he wants to rely on his own savings, he will have to wait two years before he can find the right person to get married.
So Gao Mingli neither agreed to Luo Xiaohua's request nor refused it outright.
Luo Xiaohua didn't want to force him, so he just told him to think about it again.
It’s just that Gao Mingli is not a decisive person, so he has not been able to come up with a result.
In his eyes, Gao Mingcheng is the representative of intelligence and strength, so he really wants to hear Gao Mingcheng's opinion.
Although Gao Mingcheng seldom took the initiative to talk with his brothers and seldom gave them advice on life, unknowingly, whether it was Gao Mingwan, Gao Mingli, or Gao Shufang, they all valued Gao Mingcheng very much. Whenever they were hesitant, they were willing to talk to Gao Mingcheng and listen to his advice.
For example, Gao Shufang had previously found Gao Mingcheng and told him about something that had been bothering her for several days. After listening to Gao Mingcheng's words, she suddenly felt enlightened.
And now it is Gao Mingli's turn.
After Gao Mingli finished explaining everything, he looked at Gao Mingcheng eagerly, waiting for his advice.
Gao Mingcheng first asked who the woman was.
"Her name is Zhang Jinling."
Hearing this familiar name, Gao Mingcheng looked up at Gao Mingli.
Zhang Jinling was Gao Mingli’s wife in his previous life. The two of them had a son and a daughter, and lived an ordinary life, with neither a grand life nor quarrels or fights.
In fact, this kind of marriage is also the marriage of most people.
At this moment, Gao Mingcheng suddenly developed a sense of fate.
He did not intend to persuade Gao Mingli to refuse. In two lifetimes, his elder brother still married his elder sister-in-law, he still married many beauties, and Gao Mingwan still married Wang Xiuxiu.
Now, Gao Mingli is about to get engaged to Zhang Jinling.
This may be what is called fate.
Gao Mingcheng sighed with emotion, but when he saw Gao Shufang from the corner of his eye, his heart skipped a beat and he thought, "Gao Mingli can marry Zhang Jinling, but Gao Shufang must not marry her husband from her previous life! He is not worthy!"
Gao Mingcheng's emotions fluctuated only for a moment. He looked at Gao Mingli and said calmly, "You are the youngest son in the family. Mom has always been thinking about you. I have never met Zhang Jinling, but I think she must be extraordinary."
"Mingli, as the saying goes, if you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer in the end, so you should think carefully about it. If you really don't like him, then save money and find someone you like to marry. You are not too old, so you can get married a few years later."
Gao Mingli frowned.
Originally he was not in a hurry to get married, and even wanted to wait until later.
But when he heard his second brother say this, he felt a rebellious mentality in his heart.
Why did he get married a few years later?
All of his brothers are married. The eldest and second brothers have children, and maybe the third brother will be soon too. So why did he get married a few years later?
Wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! ~
I was in the countryside during the day and didn't get enough rest, so I have a splitting headache now. I won't write anymore and will go to bed directly.
Thank you all for your monthly ticket support, muah! ~
