When mentioning Luo Xiaohua, Wang Xiuxiu quickly glanced at Gao Mingwan, then lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Gao Mingwan's expression was not very good, but he still said reluctantly: "My family is busy building a house, so it's normal that I don't have time to come."
Even Hu Yinchen felt the awkwardness in the air, but she didn't say anything.
I have been working in Gao Mingcheng's family for more than a year. Even if I don't know all the things going on in Gao Mingcheng's family, I know most of them.
From the fact that Manyi asked her to take care of her when she became pregnant and gave birth to a child, to Wang Xiuxiu asking her to take care of her when she gave birth to a daughter, she more or less guessed that their mother-in-law must be unreliable.
In this case, it is natural to say less and make fewer mistakes.
Xuanyuemei quickly changed the subject and talked about Gao Mingcheng buying a new car.
Gao Mingwan has been staying at home these days taking care of his wife and children, so he doesn't know that his second brother has bought a car.
After hearing this, his eyes lit up. He said longingly, "I also want to save money to buy a truck! I can make more money by driving it by myself or by registering it with Boss Xiao."
If you have your own car, everything you do will be more convenient and comfortable.
Xuanyue thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to buy a car, talk to your second brother. He should be able to lend you the money."
Xuanyuemei knew that Gao Mingcheng was willing to help his brothers and sisters appropriately, so she made this suggestion.
The money to buy a car is not a small amount, so Gao Mingwan was quite touched when he heard this.
Xuanyue's words mean that if Gao Mingcheng is willing to lend him money, Xuanyue would not object.
Gao Mingwan's smile was particularly sincere. He said, "Let's talk about it later. The baby has just been born, and I haven't decided what kind of car to buy yet."
Everyone only mentioned this matter briefly and then moved on to other topics. After chatting for more than ten minutes, Xuanyuemei was ready to leave.
Not long after Xuanyuemei left, Luo Xiaohua, whom they had mentioned before, came over.
Luo Xiaohua rode the bicycle bought by Gao Mingpeng. In the front basket of the bicycle, which was padded with straw, there were thirty eggs. On the back seat of the bicycle was a vegetable basket tied with a rope, which contained a rooster with its feet tied and some seasonal vegetables from the field.
Luo Xiaohua's family raised a lot of chickens, mainly because Zhang Jinling bought a batch of chicks last year. The original plan was to raise them for eggs and sell them for money. As a result, Zhang Jinling ran away to live in the county, and those chickens all belonged to Luo Xiaohua.
As the weather warms up, chickens start laying eggs.
Luo Xiaohua would prepare eggs for his grandchildren every day, and the workers who came to help build the house also had scrambled eggs to eat. Even so, after a period of time, he still had so many eggs saved up.
Luo Xiaohua arrived at Gao Mingwan's house with a familiar look. Before his bicycle had even stopped, he shouted, "Mingwan, Xiuxiu, I'm here to see you."
Hearing the noise, Gao Mingwan hurried to the door to greet them. When he saw the eggs and chickens his mother brought, the smile on Gao Mingwan's face became much more sincere.
Even though in his mother's heart, he can't compare to his older brother, but he's still okay!
With this comfort in his heart, Gao Mingwan no longer complained and helped Luo Xiaohua move things into the house.
When Luo Xiaohua came over, it was almost noon, so Gao Mingli held the child for Luo Xiaohua to see and asked Hu Yinchen to cook more food for lunch.
Hu Yinchen agreed and went to the kitchen to cook.
Luo Xiaohua was used to taking care of children. After taking the child, she held him skillfully. The child in confinement was not shy and tried to open his eyes twice, then closed them again and fell into a deep sleep.
As the saying goes, children sleep in January, cry in February, and make noises in March. Children in the confinement period are relatively easy to take care of. Just take care of their food, drink, defecation and urination, and make sure they are kept warm or cold. Then children will sleep most of the time.
Luo Xiaohua held the child for a while, weighed the weight, felt that there was no problem, and then put the child down. In her words, children should not be held in arms for a long time, otherwise they will have to be held all the time in the future, which is very tiring.
What he said was actually not wrong. The mistake was in how Luo Xiaohua took care of Gao Mingpeng's eldest son in the past. Gao Mingwan witnessed it with his own eyes!
Then you can just hold it if you can, and just follow it if you can!
So Gao Mingwan felt a little uncomfortable.
"Mom, how is the construction of our house going?" Gao Mingwan asked.
Speaking of the house, Luo Xiaohua proudly said: "The green bricks we made ourselves are very good. Only a dozen bricks were broken in one kiln! Broken bricks and old bricks can also be used to build pig pens. They are all useful things."
"We hired four craftsmen to build our house, and the rest were helped by our relatives. Your eldest brother made a great contribution to the construction of the house!"
"The builders are well on their way, and the materials are almost ready. As long as the weather is good, the house will be built quickly. In a few months, we will be able to move into our new house!"
Luo Xiaohua was talking nonstop, feeling very happy. She glanced at her granddaughter sleeping on the bed and said, "After we move into the new house, if Xiuxiu wants to go out to work, you can send the child to the village and I will take care of him for you."
Gao Mingwan felt relieved at the words. He smiled and said, "We'll talk about it later! My second brother said before that he would ask Xiuxiu to work in the kindergarten. The kindergarten will definitely be open for enrollment before September."
Wang Xiuxiu is well educated and participated in training last year, so she is more than qualified to be a kindergarten teacher.
Luo Xiaohua knew that Gao Mingcheng had set up a kindergarten, but she had never been there to see it, so she asked Gao Mingwan to take her there in the afternoon to have a look.
Gao Mingwan said: "The door of the kindergarten is closed. We have to go to the clothing store to get the key."
After lunch in the afternoon, Gao Mingwan prepared to take Luo Xiaohua to visit the kindergarten.
When Gao Mingwan went to the clothing store to get the keys, Luo Xiaohua did not follow him. Instead, he went to a nearby hardware store to buy some things, saying that he needed something at home and wanted to buy some of them.
After Gao Mingwan got the key, he took Luo Xiaohua, who had bought the things, to the kindergarten.
By now, the kindergarten has been almost completed, and the brand new building is particularly eye-catching on the side of the road.
The spacious and bright house and the yard with children's toys, everything seems so attractive.
Luo Xiaohua looked at this so-called kindergarten and thought of the primary school in Xing'an Mountains. He felt that one was heaven and the other was earth.
The primary school in Xing'anling is located in an old house. The house is quite old and leaks wind and rain when it is windy and rainy.
Gao Mingpeng said that the village committee plans to allocate some money to demolish and rebuild the primary school.
But it is just a proposal at present, and the specific implementation date has not yet been determined. It may start during this summer vacation, or it may start in a few years.
Luo Xiaohua felt very unhappy when he thought about his precious grandson who would have to go to elementary school in Xing'an Mountains.
She even wanted to send her precious grandson to the county. This kindergarten was opened by her second son, so it was only natural for her to take care of her nephew.
However, Luo Xiaohua did not say it immediately because she had to think about it again. If she sent her precious grandson to live in the county, who knew whether the second child would take good care of him?
Luo Xiaohua knew the relationship between herself and the second brother, and she felt a little uneasy when she had this doubt.
However, when she saw Gao Mingwan, she felt that if she wanted to send her precious grandson to the county to study, he could not live with the second son, but had to live with the third son!
What's more, Xiuxiu is a kindergarten teacher, so she is naturally more suitable to take care of her precious grandson.
At that time, she would ask Xiuxiu to send her daughter to the village, and then send her precious grandson to Xiuxiu's house, so that both sides would take turns in taking care of people.
Although he thought so, Luo Xiaohua still did not speak. He planned to discuss it with Gao Yuanjian and Gao Mingpeng after returning.
After visiting the kindergarten, Luo Xiaohua rode his bicycle back to the village.
Gao Mingwan returned the key to the kindergarten gate, and took the opportunity to chat with his second brother and others, and touched his second brother's new car.
This car is so cool!
In one more day, it will be the weekend.
Lou Xinyu came to the clothing store early in the morning. At that time, Gao Mingcheng and Xuanyuemei had not arrived yet. He did not consider himself an outsider and helped Gao Shufang with the work.
Maybe because he came from the army, he was quite efficient at his work.
Lou Xinyu is going back to the village today, and Gao Shufang will naturally go back with him.
Gao Shufang hardly had any holidays throughout last year, so she could be said to have worked without a break all year round.
This year she started dating, so the store decided to give her more vacation time so that she and Lou Xinyu could spend more time together and their relationship could improve.
When Gao Mingcheng and Xuanyuemei came to the store, it was already half past eight.
Gao Mingcheng asked Gao Shufang and Lou Xinyu if they had had breakfast. If they had, they could set off. He would be responsible for driving the car and Lou Xinyu would be responsible for driving the tractor.
As for the store, with Mei, Zhang Jinling and Gao Mingli there, they can still handle it.
Gao Mingcheng put all the things he needed to take in the bed of the car, then carried little Xuxu into the back seat and let him climb on the seat and play.
Since there are cars to ride in, Gao Shufang certainly won’t ride in a tractor. Is it fun to feel the wind?
She also sat in the back seat, responsible for taking care of Xiao Xuxu.
Otherwise, after the car starts moving, the body of the car will be bumpy due to the road conditions, and a child of Xiao Xuxu's age will not be able to take care of himself.
"Duomei, let's go." Gao Mingcheng sat in the driver's seat and said to Duomei who was standing at the door of the store.
Manyuemei waved goodbye to them: "Let's go, be careful on the road."
Gao Mingcheng started the car, and the car drove away slowly, then gradually accelerated.
Lou Xinyu was responsible for driving the tractor and could only follow behind. Fortunately, the route from the county to Gaojia Village was not complicated. After leaving the county, just go straight and turn when you reach Junling.
The century-old camphor tree at the intersection of Junling Road is the most eye-catching landmark.
In order to take care of Lou Xinyu, Gao Mingcheng drove slowly all the way. When he arrived at Junling, Gao Mingcheng subconsciously looked towards Huang Dazhi's house. Of course, Huang Dazhi's house could not be seen from the road because it was blocked by a hillside.
But Gao Mingcheng knew that Huang Dazhi's family had been taken to live in the county by Huang Dazhi, and as for the land in the village, it was probably rented out to others for cultivation.
Before, Gao Mingcheng lent the tractor to Huang Dazhi, and Huang Dazhi was busy moving, then brought his parents and younger brother to the county, and finally brought Luo Li and the child who had just finished her confinement.
In this way, their family can be reunited.
Next, we need to prepare for the housewarming party.
When cars and tractors drove to the Greater Khingan Range one after another, more familiar people came here. After recognizing that the driver was Gao Mingcheng, there was immediately a commotion. Everyone looked at Gao Mingcheng, and some even talked to him.
Gao Mingcheng slowed down the car, rolled down the window, responded with a smile, and then greeted Gao Shouwang who was standing on the side of the road.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, cars and tractors drove towards Gaojia Village one after another.
Although they are gone, they have left people with many topics to talk about.
For example, what brand of car did Gao Mingcheng buy and how much it cost; for example, the unfamiliar young man driving the tractor was Gao Yuanjian's future son-in-law, etc.
Gao Mingcheng was not interested in hearing gossip, and all he could see before his eyes was the beautiful spring scenery.
The mountains and forests in the distance and the fields nearby seem to be full of unknown flowers blooming, competing for beauty in the spring.
Even the wind carried the scent of grass and flowers, mixed into a fresh smell.
The car stopped at the pond at the entrance of the village. The brand new car immediately attracted a lot of people's attention. When they recognized it was Gao Mingcheng, they all gathered around him.
For the villagers, cars are definitely something new!
Most of them seldom go out. Even if they go out to do something, they would walk if possible and are reluctant to spend money on taking a car.
Gao Mingcheng’s tractor had caused a commotion in the village before, but the commotion caused by the tractor was far less than that caused by the car.
The tractor Gao Mingcheng bought is a new model, which is more advanced and easier to use than the walk-behind tractor in the brigade, but no matter what, it is still a tractor!
Cars are different, especially a brand new white car parked there, which is particularly eye-catching.
Facing various questions from the villagers, Gao Mingcheng answered them with a positive attitude.
When many people were flattering Gao Mingcheng, Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, as the country stabilizes and the people become richer, we can all live in new houses and drive cars in the future!"
"Not to mention cars, I'll even be able to afford a plane in the future! Then I can travel anywhere in the world."
"As long as we work hard and move forward, we will all have a bright future!"
These words sounded like brainwashing, making people's blood boil.
But some people expressed doubts, wondering how it is possible!
They have seen movies, the kind of open-air movies with airplanes in them, but how could people like them ride on that kind of airplane?
So some people said that Gao Mingcheng was a liar and was talking nonsense.
Gao Mingcheng smiled and didn't explain.
In the future, not everyone will have taken a plane, but cars will definitely be the means of transportation for daily travel!
After joking around with everyone for a while, Gao Mingcheng and the others went to do their own things.
This time when he returned to the village, Gao Mingcheng brought little Xuxu with him, but the person responsible for taking care of little Xuxu was not him, but Gao Shufang.
Gao Shufang was holding Xiao Xuxu's hand, Gao Mingcheng was carrying noodles, and Lou Xinyu was carrying two bottles of Magu wine, some snacks and two kilograms of meat.
The snacks and meat were all prepared by Gao Shufang, and Lou Xinyu didn't have to spend any money.
Gao Mingcheng gave the noodles to Grandma Gao and Grandma Xi respectively, and then said to Gao Shufang, "I have to go back to Niuweiling to work. I'll trouble you to take care of Xiao Xuxu. If you are not free, please send it to Grandma Xi and let him play with Xiao Yuanyuan."
In response, Gao Shufang said that she would take good care of the child and told her second brother to just rest assured. (End of this chapter)
