Chapter 493: Small Guest Room for Welcoming and Sending Off
After dinner, Gao Mingcheng did not rest, but returned the truck to the transportation company before returning home.
As luck would have it, it suddenly started raining halfway through the journey.
The sky had been clear for more than half a month, and suddenly it started to rain, which took away the heat and made people feel a little cool.
It was past nine o'clock in the evening and because it was raining, there was almost no one on the street, so Gao Mingcheng simply ran all the way back.
If someone noticed this scene, they would be surprised, because he ran very fast, like a flash of lightning, disappearing in a flash.
When he got home, there was only a little rain on his body.
But there is no need to wipe it, just take a shower, which can wash away the dust and fatigue. The whole person will feel refreshed in an instant.
When he returned to the room, he saw that Xiao Xuxu had been coaxed to sleep by many beauties.
In order to facilitate adults' harmonious exercises, Xiao Xuxu has a separate crib with fences on three sides and one side against the big bed. This way, there is no need to worry about the child turning over and falling off the bed, or being crushed when doing certain harmonious exercises.
When Gao Mingcheng saw many beauties with their clothes half-undressed, revealing a hint of plumpness, he immediately felt a surge of heat rushing to his head and he became extremely energetic.
The night is long, why should I sleep!
…
The rain stopped at midnight, but started drizzling again in the morning.
After Gao Mingli had breakfast, he had to go to the factory to work. It was a rainy day, so he put on a raincoat, rode a bicycle, and went to the factory in the rain.
Except for him who has to go out, everyone else can stay at home to look after the store.
It was just that today Gao Mingcheng rarely stayed at home and did not run around, and business was not very good on rainy days, so Gao Mingcheng and Xuanyuemei went to the new house. He had to let Xuanyuemei see the furniture he had chosen, and then he took advantage of his free time to arrange the furniture one by one.
He doesn't need to ask anyone to do it, he can do it himself.
Although Gao Mingcheng is a straight man, he has seen the decoration styles of later generations and knows what many artists like. Therefore, every piece of furniture and home appliances he bought has been recognized and loved by many artists.
The two began to decorate their new home.
At the end of the year, they will move here to live. From now on, there will be less hustle and bustle of living together, but there will also be more private space.
The piano was still placed in the spacious living room, and many beauties even lifted the dust cover, sat on the piano stool, and started playing.
Her piano level can only be described as entry-level, but fortunately the texture of the piano is very good and the music it produces is very pleasant. As long as you play according to the music score, people can easily hear what song she is playing.
It's just that I haven't played it for a while. At the beginning, many of Mei's playing was a little awkward and she even made several mistakes.
She was a little annoyed and tapped her head with her fingers.
After practicing for a long time, she finally found the feeling, and the notes flowed out from her fingertips like flowing water.
Gao Mingcheng sat back on the newly bought solid wood sofa, resting his chin on his hand, listening attentively to the sound of the piano.
When the song ended, he immediately gave great recognition to the performer. The applause of one person sounded the movement of a group of people.
"good!"
Xuanyuemei sat on the piano stool, her hands still resting on the black and white keys. She turned her head to look at Gao Mingcheng and smiled sweetly.
"Okay, it's almost time. If we don't go back, little Xuxu will make a fuss." Xuanyue stood up and covered the piano with the dust cloth again.
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng stood up happily, because most new furniture has a smell, and most things with a smell are not good and need to be dissipated.
Therefore, Gao Mingcheng did not bring Xiao Xuxu here, but left him in the store.
The couple had a rare moment of free time together to decorate their new home and play the piano. When they left, the atmosphere was particularly good and they exchanged a few words from time to time, which made each other smile.
It’s a pity that warm times don’t come often. At noon, many months suddenly passed.
Manyue did not come empty-handed, but with a luggage bag and a look of aggrieved look on her face, just like a child who had run away from home.
"Third sister, why are you here?" Seeing Xuanyue, Xuanmei was surprised.
You know, I haven't been to their clothing store for many months, but now, I've found my way here!
Manyuyue's eyes were red, but when she saw her younger sister's beauty, she smiled subconsciously and said, "I came here by bus. After getting off the bus, I asked people along the way. Fourth sister, I want to stay at your place for a few days, is that okay?"
Seeing the aggrieved look on Third Sister's face, a guess came to Manyi Mei's mind. She immediately asked angrily, "Third Sister, did your brother-in-law do something to let you down?"
Manyu Yue's eyes became redder and filled with tears.
She whimpered, threw herself on Manyumei's body, and cried aggrievedly.
"Your brother-in-law lost his job, so he took it out on me. He got drunk yesterday, and I just said a few words of advice, and he beat me up!" Manyue cried sadly and rolled up her long sleeves, revealing the stick wounds on her wrists.
When her husband He Zhigang got drunk, he picked up a stick and hit her. She instinctively raised her hands to block it, so most of the blow from the stick landed on her arms.
What’s even more hateful is that everyone in her husband’s family blamed her for He Zhigang losing his job.
She just felt extremely aggrieved because she was just a young wife who married out and focused on doing housework and taking care of children at home. She had no idea what was happening outside.
Her mother-in-law couldn't blame her specifically, so she scolded her for having a bad life. When she was at her parents' home, she killed her parents, and now that she was married to her husband's family, she had caused her husband to lose his job.
This kind of groundless accusation is really annoying.
If it was in the past, she would have endured it for many months. Who made her come from a poor family and marry into a wealthy family?
But among the same four sisters, the other three have happy marriages, and the fourth sister has the best life, so the saying that she has a bad fate is absolutely wrong!
Manyue naturally could not admit that she had a bad fate, otherwise she would never be able to hold her head up straight in her life. During the day, she had a quarrel with her mother-in-law, and at night, she was beaten by the drunk He Zhigang. So Manyue, feeling aggrieved, simply took advantage of the first bus in the morning to come to the county to find her fourth sister.
Because she knew that it was useless to look for her eldest and second sisters.
Xuanyue hugged her third sister lovingly. She and her third sister were close in age, so naturally they had the best relationship. Xuanyue's daring personality also influenced her. Among the four sisters in the family, the eldest sister was relatively cowardly, who would not say a word even when bullied. The second sister was a bully at home, and only the third sister and she dared to pick up machetes and fight with others!
"Third sister, you can stay here as long as you want! By the way, where are the children? Where is my nephew?" Xuanyue suddenly realized that Xuanyue came alone and did not bring the child.
The child of many months is already over one year old. Although it is a boy, he looks quite handsome.
Manyue smiled sadly and said, "They said the child is from the He family and they won't let me take him away. I don't want to take him away either, so let them raise him!"
She raised her voice when she said the latter sentence, obviously to comfort herself.
Although her husband's in-laws unreasonably blamed her for losing his job, they would not implicate her son, after all, he was the eldest grandson in their family!
It was for this reason that Manyue simply abandoned her child and came alone to live with her fourth sister.
Fourth sister Xuanyuemei has agreed to let her live there, but she has not forgotten to seek the opinion of her fourth brother-in-law.
So Manyue looked up at Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng said: "Third sister, please stay here. There happens to be an empty room."
That empty room has become a real guest room and has been stayed by many guests.
Although it was noon at this time of the month, Gao Mingcheng and the others had already eaten lunch, so Xuanyuemei asked, "Third sister, have you eaten?"
Manyu Yue smiled shyly, but before she could say anything, her stomach started growling.
Although she came on the first bus, the road conditions were bad and the bus was going slowly. In addition, after getting off the bus, she had to ask for directions all the way and got lost several times.
This naturally delayed me and I haven't eaten a single bite of food yet. I'm starving!
Fortunately, when cooking at home, we would rather have more than less, so there are always some leftovers in the kitchen.
Xuanyue went to the kitchen herself to heat up the food and gave it to Xuanyue.
Although it was leftovers, there was still half a plate of braised pork.
We have been eating meat for every meal at home lately. Even the greediest people have almost eaten enough, so the meat dishes on the table are not as popular as vegetables.
Manyu was eating big pieces of braised pork and felt like crying again.
Nonsense, these sisters are not unlucky!
Her fourth sister is very lucky, so her life will naturally not be too bad!
In this way, they lived in the clothing store for many months. She was also a hardworking person and had good cooking skills, so she simply took charge of three meals a day for the family. When she was free, she helped take care of Xiao Xuxu. One reason was to reduce the burden on her fourth sister, and the other was to get close to her nephew and cultivate a good relationship.
Perhaps blood relationship is really subtle. Xiao Xuxu and Xuanyue have only met once, and he has no memory of it at that time, but when they meet now, he is actually quite close to Xuanyue.
It would make sense if you said Xuanyue and Xuanmei looked alike, but in fact they were not alike, and none of the four sisters looked alike.
Seeing her son getting close to her sisters, Xuanyuemei was very happy. She whispered to Gao Mingcheng, "The third brother-in-law looks like a good person, but he beats his wife! Mingcheng, do you think we should go and talk to him?"
Gao Mingcheng also said in a low voice: "Let's wait until he comes to pick me up. Let's wait and see if he comes to pick me up in a few days."
Xuanyuemei thought about it and nodded.
Gao Mingcheng was also quite emotional. In his previous life, he had worked hard outside for many years, so he was not particularly familiar with the affairs of some relatives. He only knew that many of them had married well and would set up a snack stand in the future. After the snack stand made money, he would build a house on the street and open a restaurant on the first floor, selling rice noodles in the morning and stir-fried dishes at noon and in the evening.
With this, many people lived a relatively wealthy life.
But Gao Mingcheng didn't know the details, such as whether He Zhigang had beaten her or why He Zhigang lost his job in the cooperative.
However, Gao Mingcheng was not in a hurry. He first waited and see what He Zhigang would do, whether he would not come to pick up his wife or not apologize sincerely.
Manyue is indeed good at cooking. Whenever she cooks, if there are no customers in the store, everyone will gather around the kitchen and watch how she cooks.
Many months will also be generous in explaining and teaching.
But in fact, Gao Shufang felt that she understood those principles, but the dishes she cooked were not as delicious as those cooked by Duoyue.
Being good at cooking is probably a talent.
Therefore, Gao Mingcheng suggested that she could consider setting up a snack stand after returning home.
"What to sell?" Manyue was tempted, but just didn't know what to sell.
Gao Mingcheng thought about what the snack stand sold many months ago, and then said, "It just sells rice noodles and some pickled vegetables."
In winter, every household will make pickles, but not everyone’s pickles are delicious!
Gao Mingcheng said: "You have the advantage of time, place and people. If you set up a stall during the market day, you can make a lot of money in one market day."
These are things that Manyu Yue had done personally in his previous life, and had achieved success. It was just that Gao Mingcheng was telling them out now, which would allow Manyu Yue to avoid two years of detours and make money two years earlier.
Poor couples have many worries. After having an independent economy, Xuanyue's status in her husband's family will naturally be infinitely improved. Those people in her husband's family will no longer dare to describe Xuanyue as having a bad life.
Manyue was deeply moved, but at the same time said helplessly: "But I don't have the capital."
Gao Mingcheng said: "Don't worry about the capital, I can lend it to you, and you can pay me back after you make money."
When Manyuyue heard this, her eyes lit up with a joyful smile. In the next few days, she began to think about her own snack stall. During this time, she happened to encounter a market day in the county, so she went to the market early in the morning.
She didn't go there to buy anything, but to see what other people's snack stalls looked like and how their business was doing.
After inspecting for most of the day, Xuanyue had a rough idea in mind.
Most of the people who come to the market to sell goods have to get up very early, carry their loads on their shoulders, and walk a long way to reach the county.
So they will definitely be hungry, and once they have sold everything they brought, the more generous people will naturally allow themselves to have a bowl of rice noodles.
In addition to sellers, there are also buyers, and there are even more buyers. They come to the market to consume, so as long as the price is right, they will definitely buy it.
Therefore, the snack stalls in the county market are doing brisk business.
She hid aside and watched for many months, while doing the math in her heart. She was not good at math, but she was very sensitive to money and knew the prices of most ingredients, so she could calculate the cost price, and then deduct the cost price from the selling price, which was the small vendor's net profit for the day.
"So much money..." After counting the bill, Xuanyue's eyes widened, and he couldn't wait to go back to set up the snack stall.
However, she left home in anger, so she naturally couldn't go back in such a dejected manner. He Zhigang had to come and pick her up in person!
Manyue thought proudly, and at the same time she hoped that He Zhigang would come to see her sooner.
But she didn't know that He Zhigang had actually come to find her a long time ago, but he went to Gaojia Village!
