Chapter 294 Moving
Because antiques are difficult to sell and there is no way to sell them for the time being, the jade pendant and jade cow will be left with Gao Mingcheng until the time is right.
The matter was put aside for the time being, and soon the day for Gao Guobing to move arrived.
Gao Mingcheng went to help as promised. When he drove the tractor over, the furniture and other things had already been packed with the help of his colleagues in the police station.
"Gao Mingcheng!" Gao Yue saw Gao Mingcheng and waved to him happily.
He went to the provincial capital to attend university at the end of August and only returned home for the holidays now.
If you think about it, the two haven't seen each other for several months.
"Gao Yue!" Gao Mingcheng also greeted Gao Yue with a smile, and the two hugged each other warmly. Seeing their good relationship, Gao Guobing and Zhao Dongmei also had smiles on their faces.
"Uncle, aunt, are we moving now?" Gao Mingcheng asked.
Gao Guobing said: "Well, let's move now. After we move out, Xiao Liu's family will move in."
The Xiao Liu he mentioned is a senior police officer in the police station. After he moved out, the house was given to Xiao Liu's family.
Since Gao Guobing had spoken, Gao Mingcheng helped carry the things downstairs.
He wasn't left to do it alone. Everyone present took one thing after another, and with strength in numbers, all the things were quickly carried downstairs.
But one car couldn’t hold all the goods, so it had to be divided into two cars.
Gao Mingcheng drove the tractor to Gao Guobing's new home. In fact, Gao Guobing's new home was not far from the police station, only seven or eight minutes' walk away, so Gao Guobing and his friends did not sit in the car, but walked there directly.
After Gao Mingcheng delivered the things, he first unloaded the furniture from the car, then returned to the family compound and transported the remaining furniture and luggage away.
He made two trips back and forth, and when he arrived at Gao Guobing's new home again, he saw that they were already packing up, first putting the packed items back in place, and then unpacking and arranging them.
Gao Mingcheng had been to Gao Guobing's new home before and had seen the decoration here. Because this is a purely residential house, the layout of the house is completely different from Gao Mingcheng's. There is a large living room on the first floor, next to it are the dining room and kitchen, and there is a bathroom. In addition, there are two rooms, one used as a study and the other as a bedroom.
As for the second and third floors, their layouts are similar, but the living room is smaller and there are more bedrooms.
This is a three-story villa-style building. It is very fashionable now, and it will not be too tacky even in the future.
Gao Guobing arranged the rooms as follows: he and Zhao Dongmei lived in the bedroom on the first floor, the second floor was for Gao Yue, and the third floor was for Gao Hong.
Gao Hong was serving in the army and stayed away for a long time. He could only stay at home for a few days a year, so the second floor, which was more convenient for living, was given to Gao Yue, the president.
Gao Mingcheng helped move things. The heaviest items were the wooden beds and wardrobes. Although these wooden beds were made of good wood, they were rather old-fashioned in style. In a few years, they might be replaced with Simmons beds.
Zhao Dongmei was busy decorating her kitchen. She had a coal briquettes stove in her kitchen instead of a wood stove, and the pot was also a small pot. In a utility room in the backyard, there was a mountain of coal briquettes, which had been bought in advance and directly delivered here by the coal briquettes seller.
After cleaning up the kitchen, she went on to clean up her bedroom. The wooden bed had to be disassembled before being moved, but once she arrived at her new home, she had to reassemble it.
In addition, you have to put down the mattress and quilt, and then take out the packed clothes and put them in the closet.
The new house also has a large wardrobe. As life gets better and better, we have more and more clothes. Unlike before, a small wardrobe is enough to hold clothes for a family of four.
Gao Mingcheng avoided helping with these private tasks and focused on the heavy work, helping to reassemble the wooden beds.
Then he helped Gao Yue take out a sack of books and arranged them.
In addition to the previous books, Gao Yue also brought back some professional books from university. He had already studied these books, but reading them often would give him new insights, which would help him remember the knowledge points better.
Gao Yue seemed very excited. He took Gao Mingcheng around the second floor and said happily, "Look! This big house is mine now!"
Although the staff housing allocated by the police station was not bad, the space was not large. Before Gao Hong went to the army, his family of four lived in a crowded room, and the living conditions were definitely not very good.
Now that he has built a big house, the entire second floor belongs to Gao Yue alone.
It is normal for a young man in his prime to be happy when he has his own territory.
But Gao Mingcheng didn't indulge him. Instead, he deliberately said, "You haven't seen my house yet, right? The whole house is my territory!"
Hearing Gao Mingcheng's boastful words, Gao Yue did not feel envious. Instead, he said, "I haven't seen it, but my mother has. She said that your first floor is all shops, and the second floor is just a simple room. It's not like mine, with a living room, study, bedroom, everything!"
Gao Mingcheng touched his nose and thought, okay, he lost this round!
In terms of living comfort, his house is indeed not as good as the one here.
Each floor of Gao Guobing's house is 150 square meters, and there are front and back yards. The empty yards have a total area of nearly 200 square meters, where flowers and vegetables can be grown.
Because his house is for commercial use, it does not have any functions. Even the backyard attached to the house is only about 40 square meters, which is barely enough to build a kitchen and set up a table for eating.
Gao Mingcheng looked at the comfortable and beautiful big house in front of him, then thought about his own house, and an idea came to his mind: make money and build a new house!
If he builds a new house, he also hopes to build it near Gao Guobing, not to strengthen his connection with Gao Guobing, but because the location here is very good. In the future, a People's Park will be built nearby, with mountains, water and amusement facilities, which will be a good place to exercise.
Gao Yue and Gao Mingcheng hadn't seen each other for a long time. When they met, they couldn't help but talk a lot and talked about things in college.
Gao Mingcheng never went to college, so he has a filter for college. Due to his inaction in his previous life, his two sons did not study well. The eldest son was honest and well-behaved, and he went to a junior college, but the younger son was naughty and did not study well. After finishing junior high school, he refused to continue his studies and followed his friends into society.
This matter has always been a concern for him.
Now that he has the chance to start over, he hopes to raise his two sons well. If nothing else, at least let them finish their undergraduate studies to make up for his regrets.
So he also asked Gao Yue about some things in his life in college.
We may not understand in study, but we understand in life!
There was nothing to hide, Gao Yue told them all. However, their school was managed in a military style, which was different from other universities.
As they were chatting enthusiastically, Zhao Dongmei's voice came from downstairs: "Gao Yue, Ming Cheng, come downstairs for dinner!"
Today is the day of moving and cooking. Zhao Dongmei specially invited Gao Mingcheng to have lunch here, and in the evening, she will invite some relatives and friends to come over.
At the dinner table, Gao Guobing said, "Mingcheng, come tonight too!"
When he invited people to his home for dinner before, he didn't often invite Gao Mingcheng. One of the reasons was that the house he lived in before was not large and could not accommodate too many people.
But now it’s different, there’s a big living room and a big dining room!
Gao Mingcheng knew who Gao Guobing and the others would invite, and he felt happy. He smiled and nodded in agreement.
The dinner that night was a housewarming party, so he had to prepare some gifts.
