Sail across the sea

Chapter 43 I will give you a house as a dowry
The family sat down to eat.Gao Fan knew that his parents were coming back today, so he prepared the meals ahead of time.Ran Yuying ate a chopstick dish, and immediately became fussy again, asking Gao Fan when he learned how to cook and why he made it so delicious, like "my son is really a genius", and said a few times like a repeater Second-rate.Both Gao Min and Gao Yiping could only roll their eyes helplessly.

Gao Fan took out the remaining 140 yuan and handed it back to Ran Yuying.Ran Yuying was delighted, and for the first time counted four of the money Gao Fan handed in, and handed them to Gao Fan, claiming that they were pocket money for Gao Fan.Gao Min looked at it and quit. He raised one hand high and reminded: "Mom, mom! What about me?"

"What are you?" Ran Yuying scolded.

"Where's my money?" Gao Min knew her mother's temper and wasn't afraid at all.

"Didn't I give you money this month? It's all spent?" Ran Yuying asked.

"It's going to be hot soon, I want to buy a skirt." Gao Min pouted.

"Don't you have a skirt?"

"That's whether you did it well, you know how rustic it is."

"What, do you think your mother's clothes are rustic?"

"Originally..." Gao Min muttered.

Ran Yuying said: "What do you know? I borrowed your Aunt Xiaoyun's skirt to make a look. She is from Pujiang, so would the clothes of Pujiang people be rustic?"

Gao Min couldn't help laughing: "Mom, my own mother, when Aunt Xiaoyun wore that dress, I wasn't even born yet, okay? The way I looked 20 years ago, you still can't tell me I'm rustic."

Ran Yuying was dumb.She actually knew she was wrong.She borrowed Zhou Xiaoyun's skirt to look like it was two years ago, and that skirt, as Gao Min said, was worn by Zhou Xiaoyun before she went to college, and the style was indeed old.Looking at it today, it can only be considered rustic.

In the past two years, people's minds have been relaxed, and people's clothes have become more varied.Cangtang is a remote county town, and there is no access to the new fashions of the big coastal cities, but some fashionable female workers in the factory have subscribed to magazines such as "Popular Film", and you can see many popular fashions from the covers and illustrations. The aesthetic concept gradually catches up with the trend.

Gao Min is 18 years old this year. She is studying technical secondary school in Ruizhang, and she is about to graduate. It is also the time to dress up. It is not too much to ask for a new dress.

Ran Yuying dotes on her youngest son, but she doesn't discriminate against Gao Min.After all, there are only two children in the family, so what else is important?Gao Min has dressed better than girls from other families since she was a child, at least one or two new clothes every year, although Ran Yuying made it herself, but it is new clothes after all, isn't it?
It's not that Ran Yuying doesn't want to make her daughter look gorgeous, it's just that the family's financial situation is like this.Generally speaking, Gao Min is quite sensible and doesn't make too many demands on her family.At this time, she saw that Gao Fan had made a lot of money, so she plucked up the courage to ask Ran Yuying for money.

"Here, 20 yuan, is it enough?" Ran Yuying took out two banknotes, handed them to Gao Min, and said angrily.

"Enough is enough, I saved 10 yuan myself. Thank you, dear mother." Gao Min smiled brightly.

Ran Yuying poked Gao Min's forehead with her finger, and said, "What are you thanking me for? If you want to thank me, you can thank Xiaofan, this is the money he earned."

Gao Min giggled and turned her head, stretched out her hand to grab Gao Fan's face, and said, "Thank you bro, I'll buy you new clothes when your old sister earns money."

"You should keep your money for yourself. I can make money now, and when you get married, I will give you a house as a dowry." Gao Fan said with a smile.

In terms of psychological age, Gao Min can only be regarded as a little sister in front of him.But blood relationship is so strange, Gao Min pulled his face, he didn't feel any discomfort at all, instead, he immediately recalled every detail of the siblings playing together when they were young.

At that time, the fertilizer factory had just been built, and there were many things going on, and Gao Yiping was busy in the workshop all day long.Although Ran Yuying worked in the administrative department, it was the age of sports, and political studies were required from time to time. Everyone got together, learned the latest instructions, read the newspaper, and it would be seven or eight o'clock when they returned home.

Most of the time, Gao Min is responsible for taking care of Gao Fan and cooking for Gao Fan.In the memory left by his predecessor, Gao Fan had eaten raw rice or scorched rice countless times, but he just felt that the rice cooked by his sister was better than the rice cooked by his mother. Maybe this is called Stockholm Syndrome.

Gao Min did not inherit Gao Yiping's stability, but inherited Ran Yuying's lack of a key, and she was a little crazy when she spoke and acted.Things like scalding Gao Fan when boiling water, or taking Gao Fan into a puddle when going out to play, can be described as endless.However, when someone wanted to bully Gao Fan, this young lady was unequivocal at all, she immediately became aggressive, like a lion guarding its cubs, daring to fight desperately with a little boy who was a head taller than her.

Thinking of these, Gao Fan has accepted this elder sister in his heart.In his previous life, he was an only child, and he always envied other people to have older brothers and sisters.Traveling through time, picking up a sister for nothing is considered a benefit for the time traveler.

"Dad, Mom, you all heard it, Xiao Fan said that he will give me a house as a dowry in the future." Gao Min said to her parents with a giggle.

"You're only so old, you're not shy when it comes to dowry!" Ran Yuying scolded with a smile.

Gao Yiping turned to Gao Fan, and said seriously: "Xiao Fan, those crooked things should be done less. Now, although the national policy has been relaxed and some people are allowed to get rich through hard work, this is a measure. You are still young and don't understand politics. Both your mother and I have experienced many campaigns, and we know that policies can change as soon as they come. Things that are allowed now may not be allowed in a few days, so... well, you understand?"

When it came to the end, he finally didn't go on with "so". The phrase "you understand" sounded meaningful, but in fact he didn't know how to say it.

He is a factory manager, so he is well-informed, but he really doesn't have a deep understanding of national policies.He has experienced sports many times, but this time, he faintly felt that it was different from the past.

As a parent, he also hopes that his son can stand out and make great achievements that ordinary people can't do.Gao Fan used a formula to help the village-run enterprises in Shuinan make money, and he also got a handsome dividend, which made Gao Yiping feel very good.

He was worried that what Gao Fan did exceeded the scope of the policy and caused trouble, and he also worried that he said too much, which would suppress Gao Fan's enthusiasm and kill his son's bright future.

In a dilemma, he could only choose a vague statement.

Otherwise, let your son try it first.I should pay more attention to the policy. If there is any change in the policy, I will let my son stop in advance. I think it will not be a big problem, right?
