A feast of insects brought morning sickness to many beauties, but also brought suffering to Gao Mingcheng.
When Xuanyuemei had no early pregnancy symptoms, she could take care of the kindergarten affairs, play the piano, sing and dance, do housework at home, and take good care of Xiao Xuxu. But after Xuanyuemei started to have morning sickness, her physical condition seemed to deteriorate all of a sudden.
She began to be unable to stand the smell of cooking oil, could not eat meat, and even felt nauseous when eating white rice. Because she ate little and vomited a lot, her spirits naturally became poor.
Seeing Xuanmei looking uncomfortable, Gao Mingcheng felt extremely regretful.
But now that things have come to this, Gao Mingcheng had no choice but to take on all the responsibilities and let many beautiful things take a good rest.
However, Xuanyimei was very strong-willed. After two days of suffering, she cheered herself up, started to take care of things, and asked Gao Mingcheng to go to Yangcheng to purchase goods.
The original plan was to go to Yangcheng to purchase supplies after the wedding banquet at home, because Gao Hong would come back in early October to hold a wedding banquet, and it would take at least two or three days to drink the wine.
The clothing store didn't have much stock left, but they could still be sold for a while, so Gao Mingcheng was a little reluctant to go. However, after much persuasion from many people, he decided to go to Yangcheng to purchase the stock.
Before leaving, Gao Mingcheng looked at Xuanyuemei and told her, "If you feel bad, don't worry about those things and don't participate in the competition. There is a long way to go and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Manyu Mei had already made up her mind to attend. After hearing what Gao Mingcheng said, she just smiled and said, "I know."
As for what I know, there is no need to go into details.
Gao Mingcheng knew that Xuanyimei was a person with her own ideas, so he could only smile helplessly at this moment.
He also told Mei that if she was afraid of living alone with her child, she could stay at the clothing store for a few days.
They have always had a room on the second floor of the clothing store. Even though they haven't been eating there for a while, the various things in the room have not been moved out, so they can live there at any time.
Xuanyuemei nodded and said again: "Okay, I understand. Mingcheng, be careful on the road and have a safe journey!"
After the couple finished talking, Gao Mingcheng went to Yangcheng to purchase goods, while Xuanyuemei still stayed in the kindergarten to take care of it.
There are not many children in the kindergarten, but not many has its advantages. It is much easier to manage. Except for a few particularly naughty children, the others are basically easy to manage. They are willing to follow the teacher's arrangements and are well-behaved.
Maybe because they don’t have daughters, many girls like girls in kindergarten, especially those who are well-behaved and cute, the kind that can soften people’s hearts at a glance!
On several occasions, Xuan Mei couldn't help but give them some extra candies and snacks. Seeing them enjoying the food, she felt happy too.
Unfortunately, this behavior was soon caught by other boys. The bold ones directly said that she was unfair, while the timid ones looked at her with eyes full of grievance.
Xuanyimei had no choice but to stop this behavior, but she soon thought of a new way. She bought a lot of hairpins and headbands suitable for girls with her own money. She rewarded the girls with hairpins or headbands when she combed their hair after their nap.
Now the boys couldn't say anything. If you said she was unfair, then Xuanyuemei would immediately take out a hairpin and clip it on the boy's short hair.
"Well, now you have it too." Manyu said with a wicked smile. As a result, the boy jumped high, pulled out the hairpin on his head, and refused to wear it no matter what.
When Gao Mingcheng came back from Yangcheng with his purchases, he found that many beauties had become keen on dressing up the girls in the kindergarten.
When Gao Mingcheng saw many beauties skillfully combing girls' hair and telling him that they were just practicing, he fell silent.
Because if nothing unexpected happens, Xuanyuemei will not have a biological daughter to help her show her talents.
However, this move by Xuanxuanmei made the girl's parents feel particularly happy. They thought that this loving kindergarten was very good. Not only did it take good care of the children, but it also gave the children small gifts from time to time, making the children happy every day.
The fact that they are willing to send their daughter to such an expensive private kindergarten shows that these are families that dote on their children. As long as the child is happy, everything is fine.
Thus, unintentionally, many beautiful behaviors have improved the reputation of the Love Kindergarten.
When it comes to treating children, Gao Mingcheng is not as loving as Xuanmei. In his previous life, he didn't even take care of his two biological sons. In this life, he feels that he is good enough if he can take good care of his two sons.
After receiving the goods from Yangcheng, Gao Mingcheng stayed in the clothing store for a day. This time he bought a lot of goods, including both autumn and winter styles.
As the saying goes, spring has a short neck, but in fact autumn is not long either.
The autumn season is also quite extreme. Either it is as hot as summer, or it gets colder after each autumn rain, and if it stays cold for a few more days, it will be winter directly!
Even so, young girls who love fashion still have to prepare autumn clothes.
Gao Mingcheng bought a batch of windbreakers this time. The fabric is crisp and makes people look particularly elegant when they put them on, especially when government officials or teachers wear them, they look more graceful and decent.
However, this kind of windbreaker needs to be ironed thoroughly to remove all the wrinkles before being put out for sale, so that it has a textured feel.
In contrast to windbreakers are hand-knitted sweaters provided by Gao Shouwang's garment workshop. The styles are not very fashionable, but they are warm and comfortable to wear.
The Xinxin clothing store is as big as four storefronts and is completely integrated. It is divided into three areas: men's clothing, women's clothing and children's clothing.
Basically, anyone who enters the Xinxin clothing store can choose suitable clothes here, and the prices are also different, some are expensive and some are cheap, which can be regarded as a matter of personal preference.
Gao Mingcheng helped iron and hang the goods in the clothing store, and moved the extra goods to the warehouse on the third floor.
Next, I look at the account book and count the money, and the day is over.
The kindergarten is now running at a loss, but the clothing store is like a golden goose, bringing in a lot of money every day.
Gao Mingcheng would deposit most of his cash in the bank every few days.
In later generations, some ignorant people will mock the common people in the 1980s and 1990s for only depositing money in banks and not using the money for other investments.
These people don’t understand how high the bank interest rates are right now!
In the 1990s, the highest bank deposit interest rate reached an annual rate of 14.98%, and the one-year rate was generally above 8%, and even exceeded 10% at one point.
Because the residents' deposit rate is generally not high at this time, most people hold cash, the supply is small, the demand is large, and the natural interest rate is high.
High interest rates attracted ordinary residents to deposit their money in banks, and the banks then lent the money out to businessmen who went into business, and finally the businessmen used the money to make more money.
This is a virtuous cycle. It seems that everyone benefits, so people develop the habit of depositing money in the bank.
However, with the development of society and inflation, money has become less and less valuable. Even though the interest rate is high, it is actually still depreciating. So looking back from the perspective of later generations, it seems that people at that time were short-sighted.
Gao Mingcheng had the experience of later generations, but he still went to the bank to deposit money. It was not safe to keep a large amount of cash at home, and it would not bring any income until it was spent.
In this case, it is better to deposit it in the bank and withdraw a large sum of money at once when you need to purchase goods.
The interest rate of a current account is not as good as that of a fixed deposit, but every little bit counts. And if the bank holds an event, you can get some small gifts, which can be considered a small spice in your life.
It was already the 28th when Gao Mingcheng came back from Guangzhou. It was near the end of the month and the National Day would be coming soon. Gao Guobing and his wife had been looking forward to this day for a long time, so they naturally started preparing for their eldest son's wedding in advance.
After Gao Mingcheng arranged everything for the clothing store, he went over to help out.
The National Day at this moment actually only has two days off, but Gao Mingcheng is a self-employed person with flexible time, and Gao Hong specially took a ten-day long vacation for this marriage.
Even Li Fei used her family connections to invite other teachers to take her place in the class.
Amid the intensive preparations, Gao Hong got off the train and returned home one evening.
Gao Hong is not particularly tall, but after being tempered by the army, he looks very resolute. The usual training and missions have made Gao Hong's face tanned. When Zhao Dongmei saw it, she quickly took out soap and cold cream, told Gao Hong to wash his face thoroughly, and then put on a thick layer of cold cream for maintenance.
Gao Hong looked at the bottle of vanishing cream with a face full of resistance.
"Mom, it's okay to use soap, but I don't want to use this vanishing cream!" Gao Hong frowned and refused. The vanishing cream had a fragrance and was a bit sticky when applied on the face.
Gao Hong never applies this stuff, unless his face gets chapped by the cold wind in winter, then he has to apply some.
But it wasn't cold yet, and he felt uncomfortable when he put that stuff on his face.
Zhao Dongmei was like all the other mothers in the world. She didn't care whether her son resisted or not. She firmly demanded that Gao Hong wipe his face!
Zhao Dongmei said, "I heard from someone that before getting married, both the man and the woman should take good care of themselves! Then you will look good when the wedding banquet is held."
"By the way, when I was chatting with Ming Cheng before, he said he would give me a secret recipe for skin care. For this secret recipe, I planted a row of loofahs in the yard at the beginning of this spring!"
"Ming Cheng said that the water secreted from the loofah vines is very good for the skin! Especially the loofah water secreted on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival has the best effect! Although it is not Mid-Autumn Festival yet, it is almost there. Tonight, I will cut the loofah vines and use a bottle to collect the loofah water at the bottom!"
"Gao Hong, when the loofah water is ready, rub it all over your body for maintenance!"
Zhao Dongmei is a person who works in a hurry. After saying this, she went to find the clean bottle she had prepared earlier.
Gao Hong was speechless when he saw this. He looked at Gao Guobing and asked, "Dad, don't you care about Mom?"
Gao Guobing was sitting on the sofa, reading a newspaper. When he heard his eldest son ask about it, he said calmly, "I can't control her!"
This woman just likes to worry about things. If you let her worry about it, then it won’t be a big deal. But if you stop her from worrying about it, then you will be in trouble!
Therefore, Gao Guobing would never do anything that would bring trouble to himself.
He put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at Gao Hong, and said, "Come and sit down, let's talk."
Gao Hong was still somewhat dissatisfied, muttering in his heart and preparing to curse Gao Mingcheng.
How could Gao Mingcheng, a grown man, give his mother such an idea?
Cut the loofah vines and then use the loofah juice to apply on your body?
This is simply looking for trouble!
Although he was muttering in his heart, Gao Hong still sat on the sofa and talked with his father. Except for the secrets that could not be told, he told his father everything about himself and also asked for his father's opinion.
Gao Guobing was able to rise to the position of deputy director step by step. Naturally, he had no problem dealing with human relationships and was able to give Gao Hong advice.
When the father and son were talking excitedly, Gao Mingcheng came in with a box of drinks. He already knew that Gao Hong was back, so as soon as he entered the yard, he smiled and called Gao Hong's name.
When Gao Hong heard his voice, he immediately remembered what his mother was doing, so he strode out and stood on the steps looking at Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng saw that he had a fierce look on his face and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? It's like you're trying to rob me of my bride!"
Gao Mingcheng put down the drink in his hand and walked forward to stand with Gao Hong. Gao Hong looked at him unhappily, pointed at the loofah rack in the corner of the yard, and whispered: "This is all your fault!"
Gao Mingcheng followed his gaze and saw that every loofah vine had been cut and an empty bottle was placed at the broken end of the vine. He couldn't help laughing.
He and Gao Hong hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they had been together since childhood and were very familiar with each other's personalities. Even if Gao Hong didn't explain it clearly, Gao Mingcheng knew what he meant.
He laughed and said, "This is all from my loving heart! I have been working hard to make you look handsome at the wedding!"
After hearing this, Gao Hong gave him a displeased look as usual.
Gao Mingcheng didn't care about him. Anyway, Zhao Dongmei was there and she could suppress everything!
He also said to Zhao Dongmei: "Auntie, Duomei also wants some loofah water. Give me a bottle tomorrow morning!"
Zhao Dongmei heard this and said without hesitation: "Okay! Come and get it yourself tomorrow morning! By the way, why did you come here alone? Bring Duomei and Xiao Xuxu with you too!"
Gao Mingcheng said: "Xiao Xuxu was naughty today and fell down. His wrists and knees were bruised. Duomei is at home wiping his body and applying red medicine."
Zhao Dongmei became anxious when she heard this and asked, "Is it serious?"
Gao Mingcheng didn't care too much. How could a child not fall? As long as it wasn't serious, it would be fine.
But women are always worried. Zhao Dongmei was still worried and went to visit him in person.
So there were only three men left here.
Seeing Zhao Dongmei leave, Gao Hong finally dared to speak loudly. He gently nudged Gao Mingcheng with his shoulder and said, "Next time, don't give my mother any weird ideas. I can't bear them!"
Gao Mingcheng smiled helplessly and said, "When we were chatting the other day, the conversation turned to that incident. I didn't expect that Auntie would take it so seriously! Besides, even if Auntie is torturing you, it's for your own good! Let me tell you, Sister-in-law has taken care of herself a long time ago. When you stand next to her, others will say that you are several years older than her!" (End of this chapter)
