Chapter 385: Not Asking Luo Xiaohua
The next evening, Gao Mingcheng walked to Gao Guobing's home with two bottles of wine and a lot of beauty.
Walking is required by many beauties. She often stays in clothing stores and she likes proper exercise.
When they arrived, the sound of a color TV came from the living room. Gao Guobing was sitting on the sofa watching TV, while Zhao Dongmei was busy in the kitchen.
After Gao Mingcheng and Xuanyuemei came over, they were immediately invited to sit on the sofa. Gao Guobing pointed at the coffee table and said to them, "Whatever you want to eat, take it yourself. Don't be polite at your uncle's house."
On the coffee table, there were some fruits, peanuts, melon seeds, and a few bottles of room temperature soda.
This time, Gao Guobing's family did not buy a refrigerator or washing machine because Zhao Dongmei felt that there were few people in the family and they didn't need them.
In the morning, we either eat something casually or buy steamed buns and fried dough sticks outside. At noon, we eat in the cafeteria and only eat dinner at home. As for clothes, there are usually only two people's clothes, so they can be washed very quickly.
Of course, in addition to this reason, the most important reason is that Gao Guobing doesn't want to attract too much attention.
When this topic was brought up, Gao Guobing said, "It won't be too late to buy it when Gao Hong and Gao Yue get married!"
Gao Mingcheng knew that Gao Hong had successfully had a blind date, so he asked Gao Hong when he planned to get married.
Gao Guobing smiled and said, "I had originally planned to get married during the Chinese New Year this year while he was on leave, but now I've decided to wait until Gao Hong's military rank is promoted before getting married. By then, both families will be more prosperous."
"That's also good. After marriage, will you live separately, or will your family members follow the army?" Gao Mingcheng asked again, because he wanted to know if there would be any changes on Gao Hong's side in this life.
He remembered that in his previous life, Gao Hong entered the military academy later than now, and a long time later, Gao Hong once complained to him privately, saying that his family did not give him enough help, otherwise, he would have achieved even higher results.
In his previous life, Gao Guobing was just a section chief of a county police station all his life. Although he had a certain status in the county and lived better than ordinary people, his ability and financial resources were just so-so.
But this life is different. With the help of Gao Mingcheng, he solved several major cases, defeated his competitors at the critical moment, and was promoted to deputy director.
Now, thanks to the color TV, I have made a lot of connections. In time, my status will definitely be improved.
"They will probably follow the army. By then, they will be old and they definitely cannot be separated. Otherwise, when will they have a baby?" Gao Guobing said with certainty.
With a military rank, family members accompanying the troops can also receive better arrangements.
The uncle and nephew were chatting while the color TV was playing the news broadcast.
In the kitchen, Zhao Dongmei was in charge of cooking and Xuanyue was standing by to help. When Zhao Dongmei called her to take a rest, Xuanyue did not go.
Soon, a table full of delicious food was served. Gao Mingcheng looked around and saw that there were six dishes on the table, all of which were quite large.
There are chicken stewed with pork tripe, stir-fried pork strips, fried meat with chili, scrambled eggs with chili, water spinach and cold eggplant.
Zhao Dongmei took off her apron and said with a smile, "I raised the chicken myself, and asked someone to reserve the pork belly and pork strips in advance. They are all dishes that everyone likes to eat. Duomei, Mingcheng, don't be polite, eat more!"
Gao Guobing also asked Gao Mingcheng and others to eat more, and said that there was no refrigerator at home and the weather was hot now, so the food would go bad overnight.
Gao Mingcheng immediately said with a smile: "With me here, there will be no overnight food at home! Uncle, let's have a drink!"
He opened a bottle of Si Te liquor and poured it for Gao Guobing first.
It is said that a full glass of wine is a sign of respect, while a full glass of tea is an insult to guests, so the wine is poured full, but the glasses for drinking are relatively small.
The uncle and nephew clinked their glasses together, and Gao Mingcheng's glass lowered slightly.
Zhao Dongmei and Xuanyuemei didn't drink alcohol, so they drank soup. The stewed chicken with pig stomach tasted delicious, and Zhao Dongmei added some white pepper to make it more fragrant.
The meal ended in a peaceful atmosphere.
After dinner, Zhao Dongmei made a pot of tea, and everyone sat on the sofa and continued talking, asking about Mei's due date and confinement.
Many beauties don’t have mothers, so usually their mother-in-law will take care of them during the confinement period.
But Gao Mingcheng said, "Aunt, I'd like to trouble you to recommend someone who can take care of the mother and the child. It only takes one or two months, and I can pay a little more."
Xuanyuemei was stunned and turned to look at Gao Mingcheng. She had never heard Gao Mingcheng mention this before.
Her plan was to ask her mother-in-law Luo Xiaohua to come and take care of her for a few days after the baby was born.
Giving birth in the countryside is not that complicated. You just lie in bed for two days, and when you are able to get out, you cook, wash clothes and take care of the baby by yourself.
If the mother-in-law is nice, then she will lend a hand.
Zhao Dongmei was also stunned, and blurted out: "Isn't your mother coming to take care of you during the confinement period?"
She knew that Luo Xiaohua didn't like Gao Mingcheng very much, but now Gao Mingcheng had made progress and was no longer the same as before.
Gao Mingcheng didn’t know whether Luo Xiaohua was willing to take care of him during the confinement period, but even if she was willing, Gao Mingcheng didn’t need her.
She didn't take care of me in the previous life, and she also showed from the beginning that she wouldn't take care of me in this life, so why should I beg her for help now?
Wouldn’t it be better to spend money to hire someone?
By then, Xuanmei can focus on her confinement after childbirth and help take care of the baby, while the washing of diapers and cooking can be left to the hired people.
There just happened to be an empty room on the second floor that could accommodate the people we invited.
He explained the situation and then entrusted the matter to Zhao Dongmei.
Zhao Dongmei was from the Women's Federation, so she knew countless women and knew who was efficient and reliable. In addition, Gao Mingcheng's wages were a little higher than those of factory workers, and they provided food and accommodation. As long as she made these conditions known, many people would be willing to work for her.
Before I knew it, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Gao Mingcheng raised his wrist to look at his watch, then prepared to leave.
Many beauties go to bed early after becoming pregnant. Gao Guobing and Zhao Dongmei are also people who go to bed early.
Gao Guobing walked them out of the courtyard. There were no street lights outside, so it was a little dark.
Gao Mingcheng was prepared and took out a flashlight from his pocket.
As long as you walk this road and reach the main road, you will see street lights. However, the street lights at this time are very simple, not as fancy and numerous as those in later generations.
I returned home safely, washed up quickly, and went straight to bed.
It is September now. Although it is still hot during the day, it is a little cooler at night. You don't even need to turn on the electric fan. If you are in Gaojia Village, you still have to cover yourself with a thin blanket.
That night, in fact, not only Zhao Dongmei mentioned the beautiful confinement period, Gao Yuanjian and Luo Xiaohua from Gaojia Village also mentioned it.
Luo Xiaohua lay on the bed, silent at first. After a while, he said awkwardly, "If the second brother asks me to come, I will go and take care of him for a few days."
Gao Yuanjian said, "When the time comes, let Xuanmei give birth in the countryside and live with us. We have empty rooms anyway. You can take care of her for the entire confinement. When Su'e gave birth, you took care of her for a whole month. Now it's the second child's turn, so you don't want him to find fault with her."
Two years ago, there were so many people in the family that there was no room for everyone to sleep. Two years later, there were two empty rooms in the house.
Luo Xiaohua snorted and said, "Let's talk about it when he comes to invite us."
The topic ended there, and Luo Xiaohua talked about another thing: "Originally, Mingwan and Xiuxiu were planning to get married in August, but Xiuxiu happened to be sick. It was not good to get married while sick, so the date was moved to later. Originally, they planned to get married this month, but in the end, they decided to get married on National Day."
Gao Yuanjian said, "National Day is also good."
Luo Xiaohua curled her lips. Didn’t she hope that the new bride would come home earlier?
They bought all the wedding supplies early and piled them in Gao Mingwan's room.
Luo Xiaohua and Gao Mingcheng are not close, and he has even more complaints about Xuanyuemei. Now he is just waiting for Wang Xiuxiu to come in.
In her opinion, Wang Xiuxiu is a good daughter-in-law, because the Wang family is well-educated and reasonable. When they discussed the dowry, they promised in front of everyone to bring back the betrothal gifts and various things as dowry.
This made Luo Xiaohua particularly satisfied with Wang Xiuxiu.
But she forgot that many beauties also took all the gifts back to their own homes.
