Chapter 420: Gao Mingcheng wants to buy a camera (asking for a monthly pass)
Zhang Jinling and Gao Yuanjian are a little related, Zhang Jinling's grandmother is a person from the same vein of Gaojia Village, in terms of generation, it is related, but in terms of blood, the relationship is not deep.
This time, Luo Xiaohua found someone to say goodbye to Gao Mingli, and there were several candidates, but in the end, Luo Xiaohua took a fancy to Zhang Jinling.
Zhang Jinling is the eldest sister in the family, with a younger sister and a younger brother.
But Zhang Jinling also has some shortcomings, that is, her skin is dark, and her lips are relatively large, with a feeling of valgus, and there is a conspicuous mole on the side of her mouth.
These small shortcomings make Zhang Jinling's appearance extraordinary.
If Gao Mingli hadn't been tempted by Deng Wanwan, then he wouldn't be so picky about Zhang Jinling's appearance.
But now comparing Zhang Jinling with Deng Wanwan, Gao Mingli's face is not very good-looking.
On this day, it was a holiday in the factory, he borrowed a lot of beautiful bicycles, rode back to Gaojia Village alone, and then was taken by Luo Xiaohua to Zhang Jinling's house to discuss the engagement.
Zhang Jinling's home is located at the bottom of a small hill, and the entire small hill is the mountainous land that their family has assigned, so they fence it and raise a lot of chickens in it.
And because Zhang Jinling is hardworking, she will do the work of hatching chicks and raising chickens.
Zhang Jinling is of medium height, and she sits there quietly, with a slight shyness on her face.
If you look closely, you will know that the Zhang family has an iconic big mouth, and the children born to Zhang Jinling and Gao Mingli in the future will also inherit such a big mouth.
Zhang Jinling is quiet, Gao Mingli is also quiet, a young man like him who can't come to trouble is also lucky, born in this era, if in another twenty years, if you don't come to the matter, you won't please the girl, then be ready to fight a single!
Luo Xiaohua and Zhang Jinling's parents talked happily, and the two sides talked and laughed, and agreed on the bride price and how many things to buy.
As for the wedding, it is scheduled for June 8.
It's already May, so the wedding date is coming soon, so you can start preparing all the items for the wedding.
Luo Xiaohua gave the bride price on the spot, and the Zhang family would use the money to find a carpenter to order a wooden box, and when the time came, they would accompany a pair of wooden boxes, two quilts, a cabinet, a basin stand, a basin, and a thermos.
These are Zhang Jinling's dowry, as for the bottom of the box, it depends on how much Zhang Jinling's parents are willing to give.
Things went smoothly, Gao Mingli didn't say a few words from beginning to end, purely to be an ornament.
However, Zhang Jinling's parents are still quite satisfied with him.
Because Gao Yuanjian has the craft of steaming wine, there are a lot of incomes in a year, and Gao Mingli is a regular worker in the sugar factory, this is a serious worker!
At this time, the identity of the worker is still very popular.
But soon, with the changes in the domestic economic market, many workers were going to be laid off.
After negotiating the wedding, Zhang Jinling's mother said: "Xiaohua, there is no shortage of houses in the village, and there are houses to live in, but Mingli is working in the county, so he must live in the county." He is now living in his second brother's house, and it is no problem. It's just that you can't borrow it for a lifetime, right? β
Luo Xiaohua also thought of this, in fact, she didn't want Gao Mingli to live in Gao Mingcheng's house, but she was afraid that Gao Mingli would be like Gao Shufang, and when the time came, if she stood on Gao Mingcheng's side, she would give birth to a son in vain.
So she said: "I definitely want to buy a house, but I can't buy it for the time being." In-laws, let me be honest with you, now the family's money is only enough for the bride price and banquets, but if you wait another year, you will definitely have the money to buy a house. β
When she said this, her expression was extremely confident, so Zhang Jinling's mother believed her.
Luo Xiaohua is indeed confident, Gao Yuanjian can make money by steaming wine, she grows vegetables and sells vegetables every year, plus sells the pigs at the end of the year, this year, there is always about 2,000 yuan, plus the money Gao Mingli has saved, she should be able to buy a house.
And she thought, if it's not enough, then she can also borrow it from the third child and Shufang.
As for the second child, Luo Xiaohua has made up his mind, if the second child doesn't apologize to them first, they won't pay attention to the second child.
Let's just not give birth to this son.
This thought only flashed in time, because next, they had a hearty lunch at Zhang Jinling's house, and talked a lot about their plans after marriage.
It's just that Luo Xiaohua really planned in her heart, but she didn't say it truthfully, she planned to wait until she got married.
The reason why she fell in love with Zhang Jinling for Gao Mingli was that she liked Zhang Jinling's diligence, so she thought that after Gao Mingli and Zhang Jinling got married, she would leave Zhang Jinling in the village under the pretext that both husband and wife were not good at living in Gao Mingcheng's house.
When Gao Mingli has a holiday, he will come back for one night and go to the county to work.
And if Zhang Jinling stays in the village, then she can buy more chickens for Zhang Jinling to raise, and can also help her take care of the vegetables in the field and the pigs at home.
In this way, Luo Xiaohua's life can be much easier.
It's just that Luo Xiaohua knows in her heart that if she says it now, Zhang Jinling will be easy to fool, but her parents will definitely not be fooled.
Therefore, she has been hiding in her heart and has not spoken it for a long time.
When he came out of Zhang Jinling's house, Luo Xiaohua asked Gao Mingli for credit: "Look! What a good daughter-in-law Mom found you! This Zhang family is not poor, and there is no need to worry about her subsidizing her mother's family in the future, she has a good personality, and is hardworking and willing to work, if it weren't for the fact that our two families are a little related, you can't say that you are such a good daughter-in-law! β
Luo Xiaohua was extremely complacent, waiting for Gao Mingli to express his gratitude.
It's just that Gao Mingli didn't say it for a long time.
Gao Mingli's face was dull, and he didn't have the joy and expectation of getting engaged at all.
There is even a trace of regret in my heart.
When he asked his second brother, the second brother asked him to save money for two years, and then look at the right person and tell him not to rush to get married.
It's just that at that time, he suddenly felt very dissatisfied, they were all siblings, and the other brothers were married one after another, and even had children.
So why did you get married so late?
Two years? Is there any bride price and money to buy a house in two years? Gao Mingli himself thinks it's unlikely.
So, if you get married on your own, it may take three, four, or even five years!
Thinking of this, Gao Mingli decided to listen to his parents and married Zhang Jinling.
But he just bowed his head to reality, which does not mean that he sincerely likes Zhang Jinling and looks forward to marrying Zhang Jinling as soon as possible. In his heart, marrying Zhang Jinling is to complete the task.
He agreed to marry Zhang Jinling, his parents were happy, and he was relaxed.
Gao Mingli did not respond to Luo Xiaohua, but after sending Luo Xiaohua back to Gaojia Village, he rode his bicycle back to the county directly.
Luo Xiaohua looked at Gao Mingli's sullen appearance, and she was a little angry in her heart, she felt that it must be the second child who brought Mingli badly!
Thinking about it like this, she went to work in the field with a hoe, planning to grow some vegetables this year, sell more vegetables, buy a house for Akari as soon as possible, and let Akari move out to live.
After getting engaged to Zhang Jinling, Gao Mingli was a little depressed, but after returning to the county, he still told Gao Mingcheng and Gao Shufang about it.
Gao Mingcheng was a little surprised, but he had a feeling that it was really the case.
According to the usual practice, he gave Gao Mingli a suit and Zhang Jinling a skirt, if Zhang Jinling wanted to wear a wedding dress, he could also borrow a wedding dress to go out.
But Gao Mingli didn't think about it, so he rejected the proposal for a wedding dress and said: "She is very dark, and she definitely doesn't look good in a wedding dress." β
Gao Mingcheng never insisted on it, so he said: "Then when you take her to the county to buy things for the wedding one day, take her to the store to pick up a skirt by the way." β
Gao Mingli listened to it and didn't say anything right away.
That night, many beauties asked Gao Mingcheng: "After Akari gets married, will his wife also want to live here?" β
Gao Mingli used to live in a rented house, but later Gao Mingcheng's clothing store opened and there was a vacant house, so for the sake of his brother, he asked Gao Mingli to come and live.
It's just that when they weren't married, they were still pure brothers, but after they got married, they were two families.
Gao Mingcheng didn't know what Gao Mingli was planning, if he asked, he would have a feeling of driving people away.
So he said, "Let him be, and if you live here, you can be a relative." β
Compared with caring about Gao Mingli's marriage, Gao Mingcheng cares more about his son.
He hugged Xiao Xuxu, looked left and again, and always felt that there was a fly in the ointment.
Suddenly, he thought.
Camera!
He hasn't bought a camera yet, and he hasn't been able to photograph Xiao Xuxu's growth process all the time!
What a mistake! You know, when smartphones are popular, people are always keen to take pictures with their mobile phones to capture the wonderful moments in life at all times.
Some of the photo shooters have countless photos in their albums.
Some children in later generations have photos from birth to adulthood, which can be used by parents to remember those years, and can also let children know what they looked like in different time periods.
"Tomei, I'm going to buy a camera! We should take more photos, otherwise in a few years, we may forget what Xiao Xuxu looked like when he was a child. Gao Mingcheng said excitedly, and began to think about whether to buy it in the county or go to Yangcheng to buy it.
He decided to go to the county store to look for it first, and if there was no good one, then he could only go to Yangcheng to buy it.
Many Mei were also very interested in this proposal, but her first thought was to ask if the camera was expensive.
She went to the photo studio to take pictures, and Gao Mingcheng had also borrowed a camera from the photo studio before, so she was not very strange to the camera.
It's just that subconsciously think that the camera is expensive.
Gao Mingcheng recalled the current price and said: "The domestic camera is about 500 yuan, and the imported camera should be about 2,000 yuan." β
"Yikes! It's so expensive! Many Mei are a little distressed about money, but she is not the kind of person who has to occupy all the money in her hands, out of trust in Gao Mingcheng, many Mei said: "I don't know either, you see which one to buy!" β
"Hmm." Gao Mingcheng took on this glorious task.
The next day, he went to the county store to look at the camera.
Gao Mingcheng remembers that from the mid-80s to the late 90s, there was a photography craze in China, and in the 70s, advertisements for cameras appeared in newspapers.
Since he bought a color TV at home, Gao Mingcheng occasionally sees advertisements about cameras on the TV.
When he came to the store, he asked people about the camera, and learned that the county only had a domestically made Seagull DF camera, which was actually not bad, and it was a single-lens reflex.
A Seagull brand DF camera, priced at 540 yuan.
It's just that Gao Mingcheng's eyes in the eyes of future generations show that this camera is very dirty and backward, he remembers this camera, and the photos taken are very clear, but it is clear when taking black and white photos. If it is used to shoot color rolls, the effect of shooting will be yellowish as a whole.
This is because it has a problem with the lens and has a poor digestion of color film.
Since Gao Mingcheng wanted to buy a camera, he definitely wanted to use it to take color photos, so after he saw it, he decided to buy an imported one.
It's not that he admires foreign flattery, but at this time, imported electrical appliances are really better than domestic ones.
Of course, after more than ten years of development, the domestic technology has gradually risen, and the quality of the electrical appliances made is definitely not inferior to foreign countries.
You know, Made in China is a fan all over the world!
Gao Mingcheng was eager to buy a camera as soon as possible, so he went to the transportation company and asked Xiao Jinfeng to arrange a trip to Yangcheng for him.
It's May, and it's time for a new summer dress.
Gao Mingcheng is equivalent to a supernumerary member of the transportation company, when he passed, Gao Mingwan happened to be there, and when he heard this request, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Okay, I'm going to go to Yangcheng tomorrow, second brother, you run for me, I can rest for a few days!"
Gao Mingwan grabbed the words too quickly, Xiao Jinfeng could only stare at him helplessly, reliable drivers are always in short supply, in addition to friendship, Xiao Jinfeng is also very happy to Gao Mingcheng to take orders to work.
Since Gao Mingwan spoke, Xiao Jinfeng didn't say anything, so he handed over the car that Gao Mingwan was going to run to Gao Mingcheng to run.
Gao Mingcheng also rarely met Gao Mingwan, so the two brothers walked out and went to a secluded place to sit and talk.
Gao Mingcheng told Gao Mingli about the day of his wedding, so that Gao Mingwan knew in his heart, so that he could make time to attend the wedding.
Gao Mingwan is indeed going, when he got married last year, Gao Mingli helped him, and this time Gao Mingli got married, he naturally had to help before and after.
"Okay, I'll go then. Hey, I didn't expect the fourth child to get married, time flies so fast! Sometimes I close my eyes and think you're still a kid. Gao Mingwan said with emotion.
Gao Mingcheng smiled, when he was a child...... For him, it was even more distant, and his memories were a little yellowed.
But he doesn't miss his childhood.
If you were happy as a child, then you may miss it, but if you are not happy, then it is okay not to miss it.
Gao Mingcheng diverted the topic and asked about Wang Xiuxiu's small business.
At the mention of this, Gao Mingwan's face collapsed, and he said: "Hey, Xiuxiu is too quiet, and she is not a business material at all!" I've lost a lot of money! Second brother, I borrowed your money, and I have to wait to pay it back. β
Hearing this, Gao Mingcheng was not surprised.
It is said that character determines fate, and Wang Xiuxiu's character is destined to be unsuitable for business.
But at this moment, there is nothing else except that small business is free and profitable.
Unless...... A thought came to Gao Mingcheng's mind, but he didn't rush to say it.
If he takes a relationship for Wang Xiuxiu, he may be able to find a position as a primary school teacher for Wang Xiuxiu.
But he felt that there was no need to do this, because Gao Hong and his fiancΓ©e were not married at this time, and now they were going to use the strength of the other party's family to ask the other party's family to do something, and it was a little difficult to speak.
As soon as his thoughts turned, Gao Mingcheng had a good idea again, and he said, "Mingwan, you know what I plan to do with a kindergarten, right?" β
Gao Mingwan nodded, although he often ran on the road, he was also quite well-informed.
Mainly when he returned to the transportation company, Xiao Jin often told him something about Gao Mingcheng.
"I think so, what about you, let my brother-in-law find out all the previous books, study them well, and then focus on learning English. Next spring, my kindergarten will be open, and when the time comes, let my brother and daughter-in-law come over as a teacher, what do you think? β
After Gao Mingcheng finished speaking, he looked at Gao Mingwan and waited for him to speak.
Gao Mingwan didn't think about it, his eyes were shining, and he immediately said, "Okay! Xiuxiu will definitely be able to do this well! β
First agreed, Gao Mingwan said after realizing it: "Why do you want to learn English?" β
Gao Mingcheng smiled: "Because I want to run a bilingual kindergarten!" β
"What is bilingualism?"
"It's English and Chinese, and this learning English has to start from a little doll!"
Gao Mingwan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he had a feeling of not knowing it, and thought, it is really the second brother, it is really amazing!
Gao Mingcheng was thinking that he would have a few simple words of local English in his previous life, but he was better at speaking dialects from all over the world, and if he opened a dialect class, then he could also be a dialect teacher.
Thinking like this, he suddenly became happy.
For two lifetimes, he had nothing to do with the profession of a teacher, but he didn't expect that as long as he wanted to, he would be able to become a teacher immediately.
Ahem, although it is only a kindergarten teacher who runs his own kindergarten!
The thought of teaching a group of children to speak dialects from all over the world is a hilarious picture!
Friends, I want to go back to the countryside for a wedding wine on National Day. Yes, after ten years of marriage, the baby has given birth to two, and there is no wedding wine yet.
But don't pity me, because in the year of marriage, I did it in my mother's house, and my mother's family pays attention to the need to drink before pregnancy, and if there is a child or pregnancy, it is to be talked about.
As for not paying attention to this here, I'll let them arrange it.
It is estimated that I will be busy all day tomorrow, and there may not be empty codewords, so I may have to take a day off.
What, although the update is not powerful, a double monthly pass is still required!!
Dear friends, get some money and smash the monthly pass! ~
