Chapter 64 Gift Giving
Gao Mingcheng naturally did not take the bus. Although he had plenty of money in his pocket, he was running so fast that there was no need to spend the money.
The main thing is that you can't take a bus whenever you want, you have to wait for the bus to arrive. If you are unlucky, you have to wait for an hour or so. The weather is still quite hot, the car is stuffy and smells of sweat, and the road is bumpy, so there is really no need to spend money and suffer.
After leaving the more prosperous area, Gao Mingcheng ran all the way back to Gaojia Village.
He was carrying a load on his shoulder, with empty jars on one side and some plastic bottles, martial arts novels, a dagger, a bag of red dates and a bag of brown sugar on the other.
These two things were given by Gao Yue's mother, and they were also given to many delicious foods.
In Gao Yue's mother's words, it is used to replenish the blood of many beauties.
He also said that nine out of ten women suffer from anemia, and that anemia makes it difficult for them to get pregnant. Even someone as thick-skinned as Gao Mingcheng blushed when he heard this.
It was only three o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to Gaojia Village.
Before entering the village, he took off the watch on his wrist, put it in his trouser pocket, and hid the dagger even more carefully.
He wanted to put the dagger on his body, but there was no place to put it.
Summer clothes were thin and his trouser pockets were not deep enough, so he couldn't carry them at will and had to hide them under his shoulder pole.
However, he was thinking about making a belt, and a belt that could hold a dagger, so he planned to go to Dong Feixia to ask if she could do it.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Dong Feixia calling him.
Under the shade of a tree, Dong Feixia was carrying a basket and wearing a straw hat on her head, obviously having just returned from the fields.
She said, "Mingcheng, I have made clothes for you using the fabrics you brought last time. Come and get them now!"
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng responded and went to Dong Feixia's house with her.
After entering the door, Gao Shouwang was not there.
Dong Feixia put down the basket, washed her hands first, and then went into the house to get some clothes.
There are two sets of clothes in total, one green men's suit and one white women's suit with small flowers. The women's suit is made of long sleeves and long pants. Gao Mingcheng originally wanted to make a skirt, but Dong Feixia told him that it was already autumn and the weather would get cooler as long as it rained. If it was made into a skirt, it would not last long.
Gao Mingcheng didn't understand any of this, so he let Dong Feixia do it herself, as long as she could do it according to the many beautiful figures.
He shook out the women's clothes, took a look at them, and thought they were pretty good. He then took a look at the men's clothes, which were the most commonly worn styles by men in the village, similar to Zhongshan suits, but not as stiff as them.
In addition to the two sets of clothes, there is also a headscarf made of gauze, which is similar to a bamboo hat, but is surrounded by gauze on all four sides. This way, when people wear it, they can prevent themselves from being stung by honey on their face.
Gao Mingcheng tried it on and found it was the right size, but the mesh was a bit dense. After putting it on, his vision was not so good. The textile materials and technology at that time were limited, so it was naturally not as convenient as the gauze masks of later generations.
"Thank you, you did a great job." Gao Mingcheng thanked them and paid the money according to the price they had agreed on.
Then he asked, "Aunt, I want to make a leather belt that can hold a dagger. Can you make it?"
"Yes, I have some leather at home. Which one do you want to use?" Dong Feixia is a tailor. A tailor, in addition to having excellent skills, also needs to prepare a lot of materials.
Dong Feixia went into the house again, and when she came out, she was holding some leather materials in her hands, including pigskin and cowhide. These two types of leather were more suitable for making belts.
Gao Mingcheng touched it and felt that the cowhide one was better, so he asked for the cowhide one.
"Cowhide is more expensive than pig leather! Belts are easy to make. Come to my house tomorrow evening to pick them up."
"good."
After the deal was settled, Gao Mingcheng carried his load and went back.
He first went back to Xi Nainai's house. The door was ajar and there was no one inside. However, the door of the room was closed, so he knew that Xi Nainai and Gao Zhuang must still be working in the fields.
He put his things away, hid the dagger under his pillow, then took the white floral dress, a bag of red dates and a bag of brown sugar to find Manyi.
When he arrived at Xuanyuemei's house, Xuanyuemei happened to be at home.
The weather is good today, and many beautiful women are turning over and drying vegetables.
"How beautiful." Gao Mingcheng greeted with a smile and ran quickly to the front of Manyumei.
He handed the things in his hand forward and said, "This is for you! I made the clothes for you, and the red dates and brown sugar are from Gao Yue's mother."
The first half of the sentence was fine, but when they heard the second half, many beautiful people’s eyes widened.
Of course she knew Gao Yue's mother, after all, they lived in the same village before, but they didn't have much contact with each other.
"Why would her...aunt suddenly give me something?" Xuanyuemei was very confused and at a loss.
Things like red dates and brown sugar are things people only give as gifts when visiting relatives.
Why would someone suddenly give it to me for no reason?
"I visited Uncle Guobing's house today. Aunt knew that we were getting married, so she gave this to you, saying that it would help you to nourish your body. If you can keep it to yourself, then keep it. If you can't, then just give some to your second sister." Gao Mingcheng said openly, but Xuanmei blushed instantly.
Originally, everyone in the village knew that she and Gao Mingcheng were going to get married, but when she thought that Gao Guobing and the others also knew about it, she felt very shy.
She naturally knew the effects of red dates and brown sugar, which made her even more shy.
This is used to replenish blood and body for women. Most of the time, it is bought to be given to pregnant women and mothers, but it was given to her...
Although Xuanyuemei's face was red with shyness, she still glared at Gao Mingcheng and asked, "Did you say something? Why did you give me this for no reason?"
Gao Mingcheng blinked and cried out that he was wronged.
He really didn't say anything!
But he knows not to dwell on a topic with a woman for too long, because you can't outsmart her!
So he shook out the white dress with small flowers and changed the subject with a smile: "Does it look good? I asked Aunt Dong to make it according to your figure, but I didn't measure it carefully and I don't know if it will fit. Go into the house and try it on. If there is anything that doesn't fit, ask Aunt Dong to make some changes."
Sure enough, the new clothes successfully diverted a lot of Mei's attention. She looked at this white dress with small floral patterns, her eyes flashing with surprise, and it was obvious that she liked it very much.
"Go and try it now." Gao Mingcheng urged.
At his urging, many beauties glared at him coquettishly and went into the house to change clothes obediently.
Gao Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that women were creatures that could not be confronted head-on!
Not only did they fail to win after arguing so much, but they also hurt their relationship.
He didn't understand this principle in his previous life, which caused the couple to be strangers for a long time.
