After Wang Xiuxiu moved out of the clothing store, her life became much calmer than before.
Since there was someone watching over the store, Gao Mingcheng didn't have to stay in the store all the time and started to busy himself with his own business.
After returning from the capital, he had a lot of things to do. For the house in Russia, he only had to pay the money and check the accounts. After the house was built, he would go to get the property certificate.
As for finding a carpenter to make a pool table and buying billiard balls, there is no rush. It will not be too late to do it after the house is built and the roof tiles are laid.
He doesn't need to take care of the house here, but he has to take care of the house near the kindergarten.
The kindergarten has a main building, a row of auxiliary buildings, and a spacious courtyard.
The construction of the house was started and completed last year, and the hard decoration has been carried out, but the soft decoration has not been completely completed. In addition, the courtyard will be made into a playground, but currently there is only a cement slide and a steel frame swing.
However, toys such as rocking horses and seesaws have not been purchased in full.
In addition to toys and teaching aids, you also need to plant suitable plants in the small flower bed as decoration.
As for the small wooden bed for the child, it had been customized by a carpenter. It was made of pine wood and was not painted. After it was made, the small wooden bed only had the smell of the pine wood itself. After being placed for a period of time, even the wood smell was almost gone.
With a small wooden bed, you will also need a corresponding small mat, a small pillow and a small quilt, all of which need to be purchased.
As for the small pillows and quilts, that’s easy. Just place the order to Gao Shouwang’s workshop.
Gao Mingcheng had been running around outside for two days before he finally finished most of the tasks.
On Saturday afternoon, Huang Dazhi came to the door and said that Gao Guobing had already found out the news and asked him to come over.
Gao Mingcheng put down what he was doing and walked towards the police station with Huang Dazhi.
Along the way, the two chatted casually.
While Gao Mingcheng was busy with kindergarten chores, Huang Dazhi was also busy with his new house.
The land for the kindergarten and the land for Huang Dazhi's new house were purchased almost at the same time, and the two built their houses one after the other. Last year, Huang Dazhi's new house was completed, and Huang Dazhi had even wanted to move to the new house before the New Year.
It was Gao Mingcheng who persuaded Huang Dazhi to stop.
After a new house is built, you need to air it out and let the smell get rid of it. There is no need to rush to move in.
Now that Luo Li has given birth and is about to finish her confinement, Huang Dazhi plans to completely finish the new house and then choose a day to move in.
Huang Dazhi smiled and said, "Mingcheng, after we move, I plan to host a few banquets at home. We will host the housewarming and the baby's full moon celebrations at the same time. You all can come to my house for dinner then!"
"Okay. What day will it be?" Gao Mingcheng asked with a smile.
Huang Dazhi said, "Let's set it on the 20th of this month. That day is a good day and it's a weekend, so it's convenient for everyone to come and have a drink."
Today is already the fifth, so there are still fifteen days until the wedding.
Gao Mingcheng asked, "Is the house ready?"
Huang Dazhi nodded and said, "It's almost done. But I didn't buy the color TV, washing machine, refrigerator and other electrical appliances. These things are too expensive, and I don't have enough money on hand, so I plan to buy them later."
Although people are keen on buying electrical appliances nowadays, there are still not many people who can afford them. Many people have to tighten their belts to buy an appliance.
But Huang Dazhi didn't want to empty his family's savings to buy these things, so when he had only a little money left, he didn't want to move anymore.
He had experienced poverty and knew the importance of money.
Huang Dazhi added: "Before the banquet, I have to take a few days off. I plan to take Xiaoguai to the hospital in the provincial capital for surgery."
Since adopting Xiaoguai, Huang Dazhi has inquired about cleft lip and palate from many sources. Now that Xiaoguai is more than three years old, the hospital in the provincial capital can also perform this operation, so he plans to take Xiaoguai to have the operation.
The people in the village are simple and kind, but they will also flatter the powerful and look down on the weak, especially the children who are ignorant of the world and sometimes even say hurtful words.
Adults can still try not to say bad things to Xiaoguai, but naughty children will call Xiaoguai a monster.
When he was young, Xiaoguai was not affected at all, but as he got older, he inevitably felt inferior.
Huang Dazhi held on to the money in his hand and didn't dare spend it carelessly, also for the purpose of paying for Xiaoguai's surgery.
After Gao Mingcheng learned about this, he asked a few more questions and asked Huang Dazhi how they planned to go to the provincial capital.
Huang Dazhi said: "Take the train."
There are fewer long-distance buses now, the tickets are not cheap, and there is a smell of gasoline on the bus. Huang Dazhi was worried that Xiaoguai would get carsick, so he decided to take the train.
Gao Mingcheng asked again whether there was enough money for the surgery, and if not, he could pay part of it.
This operation concerns Xiaoguai's future life, and Gao Mingcheng, who has plenty of money, is willing to lend a helping hand.
But Huang Dazhi did not take his money. Instead, he said confidently, "It's enough. I asked the doctor and I have saved the money in advance."
Since Huang Dazhi said so, Gao Mingcheng didn't insist on giving it to him, but promised that Xiaoguai could go to kindergarten for free after the school started.
Huang Dazhi smiled when he mentioned this. He said, "Yes, after Xiaoguai recovers from the surgery, I plan to bring her to live in the county. Then my parents and Xiaoan can all live here together."
Nowadays, if the house is big enough, the whole family will live together. Huang Dazhi's house was too small before, but the house he built now has three floors!
And after his parents and younger brother come to live with him, they can also help him take care of the child. After Luo Li finishes her confinement, she can go to work in Gao Mingcheng's clothing store.
Building the house almost drained all their money, so they had to go to work and earn money.
Gao Mingcheng nodded and agreed very much.
Huang Dazhi's parents and younger brother are in poor health, and it is quite difficult for them to do farm work. It would be better for them to live in the county and do some small business.
Huang Xiaoan has difficulty walking, but he can still run the store and sell goods.
As for what to sell, it depends on their own wishes. In Gao Mingcheng's opinion, setting up stalls to sell food is still a promising business, but it requires skills.
During the Chinese New Year this year, he chatted with his third sister Xuanyue and learned that Xuanyue had made a lot of money by setting up stalls.
This money may not make her rich, but at least her income is stable and her living standard is gradually improving.
We walked and talked all the way and soon arrived at the police station.
After separating from Huang Dazhi, Gao Mingcheng went to Gao Guobing's office.
Gao Guobing was reading documents in the office. When he saw Gao Mingcheng coming, he immediately put down the documents and asked Gao Mingcheng to sit down.
Gao Mingcheng took a few steps forward and sat down on the chair in front of the desk.
On the desk, there were a pile of documents, cups of tea, and a few packs of cigarettes.
Gao Mingcheng's gaze lingered on the packs of cigarettes for a few seconds. These cigarettes were not the brand that Gao Guobing usually smoked. They must have been given to him by someone else.
Gao Guobing seemed thirsty. He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked someone to make a cup of tea for Gao Mingcheng as well.
Soon, the tea was served.
Gao Mingcheng thanked him politely. After the person who served the tea left, Gao Guobing said, "I have asked someone about that factory and they said it didn't have any backers. The previous boss did have some connections and got the documents, but that little connection is nothing."
Gao Guobing's tone was very flat, and there was a kind of contempt in it, as if he didn't take the little minions seriously.
He continued, "During the Chinese New Year, the previous boss gambled and lost a large sum of money, including the factory. The current owner is the younger brother of the casino owner. He has no skills and likes to take advantage of loopholes. A while ago, he bought a batch of low-quality steel bars at a low price from someone unknown to him and used them to make prefabricated panels."
"I have already informed the industrial and commercial department, and they have also started investigating. This morning, they sealed off the factory. As for that man's brother, I have also asked people to keep an eye on him. If they find out that he is running a casino, they will arrest him immediately!"
After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng felt relieved.
It doesn’t matter to the other party, that’s the best!
Gao Mingcheng smiled and thanked him: "Uncle, thank you for taking the trip."
Gao Guobing waved his hand, indicating that this was not a big deal. As it concerned the safety of the people in his hometown, Gao Guobing was willing to contribute.
If he didn't know, it would be fine. But now that he knew, even if the other party had a backer, he would still try to touch it. At worst, he would make a big deal out of it.
But the other party had no backing, so Gao Guobing saved himself the trouble of making an enemy.
Gao Guobing continued, "Neither of the two brothers is a good person. The elder brother runs a casino, and the younger brother cheats and has a group of thugs around him. Although the factory has been closed down, they may not necessarily retaliate."
Gao Guobing glanced at Gao Mingcheng and was very confident in his skills, so he said, "If you are afraid that they will retaliate against your brother, you can also take the initiative to go to their house and teach them a lesson."
Then, Gao Guobing told Gao Mingcheng the brother's address.
Gao Mingcheng memorized the address and nodded.
There is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief on guard against a thousand days. Since you have made an enemy, just beat the other party until he dares not retaliate!
Gao Mingcheng nodded and said, "I know what to do. I have to go back to the village tomorrow."
Hearing Gao Mingcheng talking about going back to the village tomorrow, Gao Guobing suddenly smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the weekend, is Xiao Lou planning to go to your house to meet your parents?"
Gao Mingcheng nodded, this was indeed what Lou Xinyu planned.
Regardless of whether it will work out in the future, since he is dating Gao Shufang now, he should tell Gao Yuanjian and Luo Xiaohua.
Gao Guobing smiled and said, "It's good to let your parents meet him. Although Xiao Lou is a bit ambitious, he is still cautious in doing things."
Gao Mingcheng did not comment on this. It is said that time reveals a person's true character. He did not know Lou Xinyu in his previous life, so he planned to observe him slowly in this life.
After chatting with Gao Guobing for a while, it was soon time to get off work.
After get off work, Gao Guobing made an appointment to meet a friend, so the two parted at the door.
However, Lou Xinyu immediately followed and prepared to go to the clothing store with Gao Mingcheng.
Lou Xinyu works in the police station and has a close relationship with Gao Guobing. He naturally knows what Gao Guobing has been doing recently, so he said eagerly: "Second brother, are you going to teach those people a lesson tomorrow?"
Gao Mingcheng glanced at him and guessed that he might want to go too.
Lou Xinyu comes from a military background, so his skills must be fine, but his left hand was injured. After his recovery, it doesn’t affect his life, but he can’t fight, right?
A hint of doubt emerged in Gao Mingcheng's heart.
It was precisely because Lou Xinyu had been injured, otherwise Gao Mingcheng would have already had a sparring match with Lou Xinyu.
"Well, do you want to go too?" Gao Mingcheng asked.
Lou Xinyu nodded immediately and said, "Well, I'll go too!"
Gao Mingcheng looked at him again and nodded in agreement.
Okay, go if you want to. Let him see your own fighting ability, so that he can think more carefully when dealing with Shufang.
Although he had this idea in mind, Gao Mingcheng looked calm and composed, showing no sign of anything.
The next day was the weekend, and it was also the day that Lou Xinyu had been longing to visit his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Well, by the way, I'll help my brother-in-law vent his anger!
Early in the morning, Lou Xinyu came to the clothing store carrying six gifts.
Gao Shufang also dressed up specially today. She wore a goose yellow long skirt, a thin jacket, a pearl necklace and a turquoise bracelet.
Seeing Lou Xinyu carrying so many gifts, she was stunned and asked, "What are these things you brought?"
Lou Xinyu said: "I asked my colleagues and they said most of them were cigarettes, alcohol and snacks, so I bought some. Oh, I even bought ten kilograms of meat early this morning!"
When he came over, both his hands were full. He used his good hand to carry the heavier things, even things weighing more than ten pounds, and he carried them steadily. He used his injured hand to carry the lighter things. From a distance, no one could tell that he was injured.
Gao Shufang said speechlessly: "Ten kilograms of meat? Why are you buying so much? Just buy two kilograms!"
Lou Xinyu said, "There are many people eating at home, and we are firing the kiln, so we must eat more meat."
Gao Shufang couldn't argue with him, so she had already bought it and had no choice but to take it with her.
Gao Mingcheng watched the two of them talking together, and they were in a very natural state. He knew that they should have a good relationship.
He held little Xuxu in his arms, kissed him on the face, and then returned the child to Xuanyue.
"Duomei, you really don't want me to take Xiao Xuxu away? You have to run the store and take care of the children, can you handle it?"
Xuanmei looked at him helplessly, as if she didn't know what he was going to do today?
Xiao Xuxu is just over one year old. Can he be taken to fight?
Besides, Gao Mingcheng plans to go into the mountains today, and asking him to take Xiao Xuxu back is just like leaving him to someone else.
Rather than giving it to others, many beauties would rather bring it to themselves.
She hugged Xiao Xuxu and said, "Don't worry about us. If you are too busy, just go to the restaurant outside and buy food."
Gao Mingli at the side also said: "Second brother, don't worry, although I am not good at selling goods, I can still help find goods and look after the children!"
Today is the weekend and Gao Mingli doesn't have to go to work. He doesn't want to go back to the village to work and would rather stay in the store to look after it.
After hearing Gao Mingli's words, Gao Mingcheng felt a little relieved.
"Okay then, we'll leave first." Gao Mingcheng said goodbye to them and prepared to take Gao Shufang and Lou Xinyu back to the village. (End of this chapter)
