Fan Licheng was indeed very entertaining. He had eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas, but he was still full of praise for the many beautiful craftsmanship and even ate two large bowls of rice.
This made Du Mei very happy. After dinner, she asked Fan Licheng if he wanted to take a shower, but Fan Licheng refused. Fan Licheng planned to take a shower after returning to his home tomorrow.
It is indeed a bit inconvenient to take a shower outside in this winter.
That night, Fan Licheng slept in the room where Gao Shufang had slept before, and had a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Gao Mingcheng was ready to send Fan Licheng home.
At this time, the highways had not been fully built, and the performance of the cars was not as good as that of later generations, so the distances were long. Once people traveled far away, they had to travel for several days to reach their destination.
The suit that Duomei had washed for Fan Licheng was still wet the next day, so he put it in a plastic bag. When it was taken to the car, Fan Licheng's mouth twitched, but he still didn't refuse. .
He can feel many beautiful and kind intentions, so if he refuses, he will be a little unable to say it out loud.
After getting in the car, because the body of the jeep is lower than the truck, people sitting inside have a better view, and there is no condescending feeling.
Along the way, Fan Licheng first looked out the window curiously. When he got on the national highway and there were mostly hills and woods on both sides, he lost interest and became bored.
"Uncle Gao, Aunt Domei is so beautiful, why don't you give her cosmetics? Also, why doesn't your family even have a TV?" Fan Licheng asked in confusion.
Gao Mingcheng did not answer the question of why he did not buy cosmetics. He only answered the second half of the sentence. He said: "I will buy the TV later. Then I will buy a color TV!"
Although there are all kinds of cosmetics now, people in small places have an instinctive repulsion towards wearing makeup, especially heavy makeup. Then others will point fingers at you and talk about you behind your back. Some negative rumors are flying all over the sky.
Of course, there is another more important reason not to buy cosmetics for many beauties, that is, many beauties are now young, beautiful, naturally beautiful, and in their best years. At this time, they only need to eat well, drink well, and sleep well. It is the most beautiful state.
No matter how good the cosmetics are, they all have shortcomings. They look radiant when you use them, but if you use them for a long time, they will damage your skin.
Gao Mingcheng felt that there was no need to explain these things to the little brat Fan Licheng, so he didn't say anything.
"Uncle Gao, I heard that you have a mountain? It's a pity that I will start studying soon. Otherwise, it would be great to go and play in your mountain!" Fan Licheng started to run out of words again.
Gao Mingcheng laughed and said: "The mountains are bare now, what's there to see? When I plant all the mountains with fruit trees and medicinal herbs, I'll invite you to come and play."
"When will that happen?" Fan Licheng asked.
"I will start planting trees at the end of the month. By summer, although they won't be able to bear fruit yet, they should be quite beautiful."
"Oh, can I go to your mountain to play during the summer vacation?" Fan Licheng asked.
"Okay!" Gao Mingcheng nodded and agreed: "As long as you are willing, I will take you there. It is not far from the county, and it only takes more than half an hour to drive."
After settling the matter, Fan Licheng's face became more smiley, and then he began to ask various questions. Gao Mingcheng didn't pay attention, and he answered all the questions he could.
They set off relatively early and drove without stopping. By noon, they finally sent Fan Licheng home.
Gao Mingcheng had been here once before, and with Fan Licheng's guidance, he successfully parked the car in front of a porcelain kiln.
Fan Licheng's grandparents had received a call from Fan Chengyao beforehand and knew that he would be back today, so when they saw the car, they came over one after another.
"Licheng! Oh, my dear grandson! Let grandma see if you have lost weight?" A woman in her fifties waved to Fan Licheng, her face full of love and excitement.
Fan Licheng's relationship with his grandparents is not bad, but he is obviously not the kind of person who shows his emotions openly, and he behaves calmly.
At this time, some more people came over. These people were Fan Licheng's uncle and aunt, as well as their children.
Fan Chengyao is the eldest son of the family. He joined the army very early and went to Yangcheng to do business after he was discharged. However, his younger brothers and sisters have always stayed at home.
After the reform and opening up, private porcelain kilns have also been revitalized. Those who have a porcelain kiln at home can bake porcelain for sale.
According to them, the Fan family's porcelain firing skills can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. Until now, they still have some unique formulas in their hands and can produce fine porcelain.
The reason why Fan Licheng said that his grandparents' home is not his home is because there are still these uncles and aunts. When the whole family gathers together, although they are working together, conflicts and disputes will inevitably occur.
Some of these uncles are interested in their grandparents' porcelain kiln, some are interested in their grandparents' money, and some are interested in the porcelain clay and glaze formulas.
In this home, Fan Licheng was far less cheerful and smart than he was outside, and he seemed to be mediocre and mediocre.
Fan Licheng's grandmother hugged him for a while and made love to him. The younger brothers and sisters nearby also came over, but not all of them were younger brothers and sisters. Above Fan Licheng, there was an older brother.
This brother is the eldest grandson of his grandparents, and he is the most valued by his grandparents.
"Grandpa, grandma, my dad brought you a lot of things back. They are all in the car." Fan Licheng said.
Then everyone's eyes fell on the jeep.
Gao Mingcheng had already opened the car door, so they could see the things piled inside.
Gao Mingcheng was moving the car. Others looked at it, and the men stepped forward to help him move it down.
Except for Fan Licheng's personal belongings, everything else was packed in wooden boxes, which were full of stuff. Gao Mingcheng didn't look through the specific contents.
With more people and greater strength, it didn’t take long to unload all these things from the car and move them home.
"Okay, it's time. Licheng must be hungry. Let's go in and eat first. Xiao Gao, come and eat too!" At this time, Fan Licheng's grandfather spoke and invited Gao Mingcheng to eat together.
Gao Mingcheng did not refuse. There were all private porcelain kilns nearby, not even a hotel.
So a group of people walked into the main room. The main room was very large and had two tables. Since it was a meal, some dishes were already placed on them.
There was one table for men, and one table for women and children.
But sitting like this is not because men are superior to women, but because there are too many people in the family to sit at the same table. Furthermore, men drink, smoke, and sometimes punch when they are excited, so it is inconvenient for men and women to sit together while eating.
Gao Mingcheng naturally sat down at the man's table. Because he had to drive back in the afternoon, he refused to pour wine and only drank boiled water.
The meal went smoothly without any trouble, but Gao Mingcheng had been secretly observing Fan Licheng, and then he felt thoughtful and felt sympathy for the child.
Although Fan Licheng's parents are rich and his grandparents are not poor, his personal situation is somewhat difficult.
It's no wonder that Fan Licheng matured earlier than his peers at a young age.
After the meal, Gao Mingcheng was about to say goodbye and leave.
Before leaving, Fan Licheng's grandfather gave him a set of tableware, saying it was from his own porcelain kiln, and asked him to take it home without hesitation.
Gao Mingcheng was really not a polite person, so he accepted it.
"Uncle Gao, goodbye." Fan Licheng stood next to the jeep and waved goodbye to Gao Mingcheng who was sitting in the car, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
"Goodbye!" Gao Mingcheng also said goodbye to him solemnly.
It's just that everyone has their own life. Sometimes people meet and sometimes they separate. Gao Mingcheng didn't stay long, started the car, and left slowly and then quickly.
