Chapter 269: A meal with a harmonious atmosphere
In some places, the elderly will hold banquets on their birthdays, but Gaojia Village rarely organizes banquets for birthdays.
This is related to the local economic level, and there is also a superstitious saying, saying that the older you are, the more you must live quietly and not publicly, so as not to be hooked by ghosts.
Grandma Gao didn't do anything, she just got her family together for a meal, and of course, today's food will definitely be better than usual.
When Gao Mingcheng brought a lot of beauty, he smelled the rich aroma of meat, and he didn't need to see the real thing, Gao Mingcheng knew that this was braised pork!
Last year, there were no wires and light bulbs at home, but this year there are light bulbs, the lights in the hall are on, the lights in the kitchen are also on, and the whole courtyard is reflected by the lights, which is a little softer than before.
There was laughter and laughter in the room, which was teasing Gao Mingcheng's eldest nephew.
Gao Mingpeng's son is almost eight months old, and he is gradually becoming more fun, and he can get some fun from teasing the child.
As the old saying goes, children can sit and crawl, and they know how to ask for snacks and toys, and when they are teased, they let out giggles.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, you are here!" Gao Shufang's eyes were sharp, and when she saw them, she immediately shouted loudly.
The people in the room all looked at Gao Mingcheng and them.
Gao Mingcheng came to celebrate his grandmother's birthday, naturally he didn't come empty-handed, but because he learned the news temporarily, he couldn't prepare in advance.
After thinking about it, he found a set of new cotton clothes that grandma Gao could wear from Dong Feixia, and took this as a birthday gift.
This outfit is going to be sold in the county, so the materials and workmanship are very good, and it can be taken as a gift.
Gao Mingcheng looked around and didn't see Gao Mingwan, Gao Mingwan was in the county today, but he was going to run a long distance tomorrow.
Apparently he may have forgotten his grandmother's birthday and therefore did not rush back.
As for Gao Mingli, that is also not there, after all, he is working in the county at this time, and his time is not so free.
"You're just in time for the last dish to eat." Gao Shufang said with a smile, and then prepared to set the dishes and chopsticks.
Gao Mingcheng gave the new clothes to Grandma Gao and said a few words of blessing.
Grandma Gao looked at the new clothes, her expression was slightly excited, she was used to living a hard life in her life, but she didn't expect to be able to wear such beautiful clothes at the end of the day.
She stroked the garment, feeling the softness and comfort of the fabric.
It's just that the skin on her hands is extremely rough, and the softer the fabric, the more it sets off the roughness of her skin.
Fortunately, this is a cotton garment, and if it is silk, the silk will have to be spent when touched by such rough fingers.
The meal was quickly arranged, and the whole family sat down one after another.
Although Gao Mingwan and Gao Mingli were missing, the entire table was also full. There are six dishes on the table, including braised pork, scrambled eggs with garlic, etc.
Gao Mingpeng's son also has a separate dish, which is steamed eggs.
Steamed eggs are steamed on rice, and the eggs laid by their own chickens are golden in color and delicate in texture after steaming, like pudding, Huang Su'e did not eat them first, but fed them to the child with a spoon.
For such a big child, you can also eat complementary food, eat some biscuits and fruits for snacks, and eat some gruel, soft rice, vegetable soup, etc.
At the table, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good.
Gao Mingcheng hadn't eaten such a reassuring meal here for a long time, and his mood gradually relaxed, and he talked to Gao Mingpeng about what he saw and heard outside.
In his last life, he came back from outside when he was 2,000 years old, started real estate in the county, and also brought his brothers into this industry.
In this life, he changed his life path, and under his influence, Gao Mingwan and Gao Mingli also changed their life path, but they never expected that the eldest brother Gao Mingpeng would embark on this road early.
Gao Mingpeng is now helping people do things, but he has a heart that wants to go it alone.
And in the nineties, the contractor had already begun to earn money, which was undoubtedly the right path.
In the eyes of his family, Gao Mingcheng has come out, so his treatment has improved, Gao Yuanjian no longer makes a face to him, Luo Xiaohua no longer chatters about him, and the whole atmosphere can be called harmonious!
"Mingcheng, Mingli came back a few days ago, and discussed with me whether to continue working in the sugar factory or learn to drive with you." After the meal, Gao Yuanjian called Gao Mingcheng aside to speak.
Smelling the rich smoky smell on Gao Yuanjian's body, Gao Mingcheng frowned a little.
His father is an old smoker, his eldest brother is also an old smoker, and his eldest nephew grew up in smoke when he was a child, and began to smoke at the age of ten, and when he was fourteen or fifteen years old, he became addicted to smoking.
All cigarette packs say 'smoking is bad for health', but all smokers ignore that sentence.
Gao Yuanjian smoked hard, and the cigarette butt burned quickly, and it was obvious in the dark.
Then a puff of smoke came out.
"Mingcheng, what do you think?" Gao Yuanjian smoked a cigarette and looked at Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng resisted the thought of persuasion, because he knew that his persuasion would not be useful.
Gao Mingcheng said: "It doesn't matter what I think, the key is to see how Mingli sees it." If Akari wants to be stable, it is not bad to work in a sugar factory, and if Akari wants to make more money, then come and learn to drive. ”
"As for drivers, when it comes to scenery, it does make money, but there are also risks and tribulations. As for this, Ming Wan must have said it. ”
Gao Mingcheng's attitude is obvious, that is, he doesn't want to get too involved in other people's life choices.
He only gives one chance, how to choose, that's someone else's business.
Gao Yuanjian frowned, but he didn't expect to get useful advice from Gao Mingcheng's mouth.
After a long time, he sighed and said, "Akari hasn't made a choice yet, he plans to work in the sugar factory first, and then talk about it." ”
"Oh." Gao Mingcheng was not surprised by this.
Gao Mingli is not a person who dares to fight, otherwise he has Xueba classmates, and he can be admitted to technical secondary school or high school with the help of Xueba's classmates.
As the night deepened, Gao Mingcheng didn't stay here for long, and after greeting Grandma Gao, he returned to his house with a lot of beauty.
There is no moon tonight, there are naturally no street lights in Gaojia Village, the road is dark, the road is not completely flat, it is okay to walk during the day, and it is easy to step on the air at night.
Gao Mingcheng made preparations in advance and brought a flashlight.
When the flashlight is turned on, a beam of light is projected, reflecting on the ground in front of it, as a distorted round spot of light.
As he swayed as he walked, so did the pillar of light.
After leaving the old village, the surroundings became more and more quiet, only the rustling sound brought by the mountain wind blowing through the treetops.
Since it was winter, even the birdsong and insect chirping were less.
Gao Mingcheng and many beautiful fingers interlocked, walking on the road where no one was around, many beautiful smiles and said: "It's good to have you, otherwise I would definitely be scared if I walked this road alone." ”
Gao Mingcheng held her hand tighter and said, "When the store opens in the future, you will live in the county in the future." I don't have to be over there all the time, and if you live alone, will you be scared? ”
When many beautiful people heard this, their brows furrowed, and they stopped talking.
She was a little scared, but she didn't say anything.
When she was in Gaojia Village, she hoped that Gao Mingcheng would always be here to accompany her, but if she went to the county, she would hope that Gao Mingcheng would always be with her in the county.
But her reason told her that it was impossible, the family had fields, land, livestock, and a small rich mountain that had just been contracted and had not yet been developed, and Gao Mingcheng had too many things to do.
If you don't stay up late today, the next chapter will be written tomorrow during the day. Good night.
