The brother and sister had just mentioned Lou Xinyu at noon, and in the evening, Lou Xinyu came again!
Lou Xinyu has no family and few friends in the county, so after he started dating Gao Shufang, he came over almost every day. If he couldn't come, he would tell her in advance to avoid Gao Shufang worrying.
"Second brother." When Lou Xinyu saw Gao Mingcheng, he called him "Second Brother" calmly. He was following Gao Shufang's lead, otherwise he would have called him "Brother Mingcheng".
Gao Mingcheng looked at him with a smile and didn't care about his little thoughts. He took out a piece of turquoise raw stone and gave it to Lou Xinyu.
Gao Mingcheng said: "I'll give this to you. You can use it as a decoration."
Lou Xinyu immediately took it with both hands and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, second brother, I like it very much."
Yesterday, many people went to Xinxin Clothing Store to buy turquoise bracelets, and many more were sold today. Now, the wealthy families in the county are all talking about turquoise.
Summer is coming, and wearing a beautiful turquoise bracelet on your wrist can make you feel better!
When Lou Xinyu was on holiday, he would come to see Gao Shufang, usually to ask her to go out and play. But when he came after get off work, he would just talk. At first, Lou Xinyu only stayed for a dozen minutes, and when he saw that Gao Shufang and the others were about to eat, he said goodbye.
Later on, this person came every day, so naturally he stayed to have dinner together!
Now Lou Xinyu has become a dining partner in the restaurant. He eats dinner here every day and then goes back home to rest.
Of course, he didn't come empty-handed. Sometimes he would bring two pounds of meat, sometimes a chicken, or a bag of fruit.
Today he brought some eggs and said that they were given to him by relatives in the village when he went back to the village yesterday to do some work.
Lou Xinyu lives alone and doesn’t cook usually, so he sent the eggs here.
Gao Shufang took the eggs naturally, without any politeness at all.
Lou Xinyu was very observant and immediately noticed that Gao Shufang had a faint blue tint in her eyes, so he asked with concern, "Shufang, did you not sleep well last night?"
Talking about last night, Gao Shufang could only sigh. Weaning a child is so tiring!
However, her second brother gave her a gold necklace!
Gao Shufang said: "Yes, I didn't sleep well, but I took a nap during the day."
The two of them whispered a few words, but it didn't last too long because Lou Xinyu soon went to talk to Gao Mingcheng.
"Brother, I want to buy a piece of land to build a house. What do you think?" As soon as Lou Xinyu opened his mouth, Gao Mingcheng was a little surprised.
This question has some profound meaning. In the village, due to the housing shortage in the past, young men now have to build a house if they want to get married. In the city, young people also have requirements for houses if they want to get married.
Lou Xinyu is single and currently lives in the police station’s family building. After getting married, he can actually live there, but it is not as good as having his own house.
Therefore, Lou Xinyu decided to buy land and build a house.
Gao Mingcheng said: "Building a house is a good thing. If you have money, you can prepare it."
Lou Xinyu has some retirement pay in his hands, and he is now a public official. Since he cannot use the money to do business, he might as well use it to buy land and build a house.
Since the abolition of the dual-track pricing system, prices have been rising rapidly, and money will become less and less valuable in the future!
There is a joke that goes like this: the hundred-dollar bill in the past was enough for four people, but the hundred-dollar bill in the future is only enough for one person!
It is a good thing to build a house now while the land is cheap and bricks and tiles are not very expensive. At least you don’t have to worry about the mortgage in the future.
Lou Xinyu continued to ask: "Where do you think we should build the house?"
Lou Xinyu asked Gao Mingcheng for his opinion, but Gao Mingcheng would not directly tell him where to build it. Although Lou Xinyu is dating Gao Shufang now, who knows if they will be successful in the future?
So Gao Mingcheng just said: "It depends on you. You have been in the county for a while, and you must have your own ideas."
These words are actually tests.
After the conversation, Lou Xinyu knew Gao Mingcheng's attitude towards him.
It seems that he is in no hurry to get married!
Never mind, I can wait until the house is built before getting married! Then I can have a grand wedding!
After the topic ended, Gao Mingcheng asked about the floating corpse case in the park that occurred in late March.
Gao Mingcheng witnessed the floating corpse with his own eyes at that time, and Deng Wanwan's stepson had also fallen into the water and was frightened, so he was quite concerned about this case.
This case happened to be one in which Lou Xinyu was involved.
So Lou Xinyu briefly described the case. The victim was a nanny, but she was secretly together with the male owner and was pregnant with his child.
After having a child, the nanny threatened the male owner to divorce and marry her with the unborn child.
The male owner was just playing around and had no intention of marrying a nanny, but he was afraid that his family would find out about it, so he simply became ruthless and wanted to kill her.
But just as the man was about to take action, his son discovered the incident and pushed the nanny down the stairs. The nanny bled and fainted on the spot.
However, the nanny was not dead at that time, but the male owner took advantage of the dead of night and threw the nanny into the lake in the park, trying to make it look like she had died by drowning.
But because the victim had fallen down the stairs, the forensic doctor discovered a clue during the autopsy and found that the victim was pregnant and had signs of threatened miscarriage before her death.
Lou Xinyu and others followed the clues and finally found the real culprit.
Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but sigh when he learned that the host's son was only twelve years old.
That kid was really born at the wrong time! This year is 1990, but the Minor Protection Act was only passed in 1991!
However, the victim was not dead when the child pushed him down the stairs, so his crime would be less serious.
But no matter what, this child's life has been largely ruined.
The two chatted about the case, and Gao Mingcheng said with emotion: "When a couple lives together, the worst thing to do is to cheat. It's not worth it to destroy a family for a little pleasure!"
Lou Xinyu nodded in agreement. If the male owner had not cheated on the nanny, then he and his son would have had a wonderful life, and the nanny would not have died tragically.
While they were talking, Gao Shufang called out, "Second brother, Xinyu, it's time to eat!"
Dinner was ready and everyone went to the table to eat.
Because there were so many people, there were several dishes on the table, both meat and vegetarian, and they all tasted pretty good.
At the dinner table, Gao Mingli picked up some food and said to Gao Mingcheng, "Second brother, when I went back to the village last time, Uncle Chen asked me when you would come back from the capital!"
Gao Mingcheng asked: "Is there anything wrong?"
Gao Mingli said, "I don't know what happened specifically. But he said he had shaken some honey and now has 500 to 600 kilograms of honey at home. I think you took the honey to Yangcheng to sell, so you didn't bring it here."
Gao Mingcheng calculated the date and found that it was time to shake the honey.
Throughout the winter, I didn't make any honey shakes because there were few flowers. Now that spring is here and the flowers are blooming, I can finally make money by shaking honey shakes.
So he said, "Then I'll go back tomorrow to have a look, and bring some more clothes to sell."
Speaking of clothes, he had just imported a batch of goods from Guangzhou before going to the capital. Now, a month has passed, and that batch of goods has been almost sold out, so it’s time to get more!
But there is no rush for this matter. Let’s wait until he returns to the village.
After dinner, Lou Xinyu helped to clear the table. After finishing the work, he said goodbye and left.
Not long after he left, Gao Mingcheng and Xuanyuemei also had to go to their new home. As for the child, Gao Mingli took the child to play next door. When he came back, he would find that his parents were gone and he had to sleep with his aunt again at night!
It's not that Gao Mingcheng is cruel, but nowadays, when it comes to weaning, if there is someone to help take care of the baby, the mother and child are weaned separately. Unless there is no one to help, the mother has to wean the baby on her own.
But in the past, many times it was not that the mother wanted to wean her child, but that the mother herself was malnourished and had no milk!
The next morning, after breakfast, Gao Mingcheng drove his tractor towards Gaojia Village.
In May, the wind is gentle and the weather is sunny!
The unrepaired road is still bumpy, but the red flowers and green leaves on the roadside are particularly beautiful.
On the hillside, clusters of rhododendrons bloom, adding a touch of bright color to the green peaks.
There are even more unknown small wild flowers, white, yellow, or red, stretching out in the sun, attracting bees and butterflies to come and collect nectar.
In the roadside rice fields, rice seedlings are growing vigorously, and there are naughty children running around in the village, picking flowers and playing with grass, and fishing in the water.
The tractor wasn't going very fast, but in a scenery like this, it wouldn't hurt to go slower.
Go straight along the national highway, and when you reach Junling, you should turn down a small road.
There is a century-old camphor tree at the intersection, with roots entwined and a trunk so thick that it takes two people to hug it.
The lush tree crown is like a giant umbrella, providing shelter from wind and rain.
Huang Dazhi's home is in this village.
After Gao Mingcheng came back, he had heard the news of Luo Li's giving birth from many people.
On April 1st, Luo Li gave birth to a boy at her parents' home.
When the boy was born, everyone was relieved.
Huang Dazhi is now a public official, so he must strictly abide by the family planning policy and can only have one child!
His younger brother Huang Xiaoan was disabled and had difficulty getting married and raising his own children, so he adopted an abandoned baby. If Huang Dazhi had given birth to a daughter, life would not have been easy for the family even if he was open-minded.
Because Huang Dazhi's parents would nag her, Luo Li would also have a lot of psychological pressure.
Now, this disharmony has completely disappeared.
Because Luo Li was recuperating after giving birth at her parents' home, Gao Mingcheng did not go to Huang Dazhi's home to visit her. Instead, he continued walking along the road and passed through the Greater Khingan Range.
Xing'anling is the center of several nearby villages, so there is a brigade, a village committee, and a primary school here.
Children from nearby villages will all go to primary school here.
However, due to the small number of students, the children can only attend the third grade in this primary school. If they want to go to the fourth and fifth grades, they have to go to another larger school.
Today, when Gao Mingcheng was driving a tractor past the school, he heard the children reading aloud. However, some children sitting by the window were attracted by the sound of the tractor and turned their heads to look out the window.
The tractor stopped here when passing by Gao Shouwang's garment workshop.
Gao Mingcheng noticed that there were several bicycles parked on the side, and one of the bicycles had two bags of goods tied to it.
It seems that other people have come here to pick up the goods.
Gao Mingcheng walked in and saw Gao Shouwang in the warehouse, talking to someone.
Seeing Gao Mingcheng coming, Gao Shouwang immediately left the man behind, came to Gao Mingcheng enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Mingcheng, you are back from the capital? What does the capital look like?"
The capital, that’s the place everyone yearns for!
Gao Mingcheng knew there would be such a question, so he immediately took out the photo album and handed it to Gao Shouwang.
And he said: "Uncle Shouwang, you will know what the capital looks like after you see this!"
It has to be said that Gao Mingcheng was not short of money and enjoyed taking photos, so he really took a lot of photos. Through these photos, we can indeed have a general understanding of the capital.
Gao Shouwang couldn't wait to flip through it.
While watching, he did not forget to call Dong Feixia to watch with him.
Dong Feixia was cutting clothes. When she heard him shouting, she immediately dropped her work and trotted over.
Her daughter no longer had the heart to operate the sewing machine and ran over to watch.
As for the others, even though they were curious, they just raised their heads and looked around a few times and did not dare to come over.
While Gao Shouwang was looking at the photo album, Gao Mingcheng looked around the garment workshop.
He picked up the ready-made sample garment on the table and looked it up and down.
After looking through all the new styles in this batch, he picked out a few pieces of clothing and put them aside, ready to take the goods.
Gao Mingcheng said, "Uncle Shouwang, give me twenty pieces of each of these clothes in three sizes: large, medium and small. Pack them for me later and I'll take them with me when I return to the county."
Gao Shouwang took a look at the clothes and replied casually, "Okay."
After finishing looking at the album, Gao Shouwang returned it to Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Shouwang said excitedly: "Mingcheng, next month, your aunt Feixia and I will also go on a long trip! We are going to Jinling! When the time comes, I will also take more photos like you!"
When talking about Jinling, Dong Feixia was also very excited. Even her daughter said excitedly: "I will go with my parents too!"
Gao Mingcheng looked at their happy faces and remembered that it was not the time to travel far away. After thinking for a while, he guessed: "Is Uncle Shouwang going to marry his daughter-in-law? Congratulations!"
Gao Shouwang grinned and said, "Yes, it's a long way, and it's not convenient for the children to come back for the wedding. We can just hold it at the military district. Your aunt and I will do the same thing there!"
Gao Mingcheng continued to congratulate him, saying that Gao Shouwang's two sons were pretty good, with strong abilities and good marriages. Both sons married female soldiers from the military region, and one of them was the daughter of a superior. After the marriage, they were sure to rise rapidly in the future.
In their previous life, when their daughter-in-law was about to give birth, Gao Shouwang and Dong Feixia went there to help take care of her and raise the baby. After that, because their two sons settled outside, they never came back. (End of this chapter)
