Three days passed by in a flash, and soon the day of the county fair came.
Gao Mingcheng and Duo Mei woke up early. After each eating a bowl of noodles, they were ready to go out.
Gao Mingcheng led the cattle and sheep to the shade of the trees at the foot of the mountain, where there were abundant water and grass for the cattle and sheep to eat. He also ordered the black tiger and the elf to look after the house.
When passing by Duo Yu's house, Duo Mei went over and asked her second sister and brother to help look after the cattle and sheep. This is how people in the village would help each other look after the livestock at home when they go out.
The two of them rode bicycles all the way towards the county town. Because they started early, it was only nine o'clock when they arrived at the county town.
Today happened to be a day off, but Gao Mingcheng did not go directly to Gao Guobing's home. Instead, he went to the market first and sold all the honey he brought. As before, he sold it at a fixed price, although it was cheap. Point, but convenient.
But after seeing it, many beauties felt that they were at a disadvantage and expressed disapproval on their faces.
"I'll sell it next time. I can sell it for seven yuan in bulk!" Duo Mei said.
Gao Mingcheng thought for a while and nodded in agreement. He personally was impatient to wait in front of the stall to sell goods, but if Duo Mei was willing, that would be fine.
Besides, when I shake honey next time, I will have at least hundreds of kilograms of honey, so I can sell it slowly.
Seeing that Gao Mingcheng agreed, many beautiful faces finally showed smiles. Selling to others at the wholesale price, she felt that she was suffering too much.
After selling the honey, Gao Mingcheng took Duo Mei to Gao Guobingjia. In addition to the two kilograms of honey, Duo Mei also dug some bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest and picked some peas in the field the day before. He said that he wanted to give it to Gao Guobing and others together.
I originally wanted to pick some bitter wheat vegetables, but the price was too cheap and it took up space, so Gao Mingcheng refused.
When they arrived at Gao Guobing's home, only Zhao Dongmei and Gao Yue were there. When asked about Gao Guobing, he said there was something going on in the bureau.
"Gao Yue, go call your father back, which means Cheng Heduomei is here." Zhao Dongmei immediately ordered her son to run errands.
"Hey." Gao Yue responded and ran away quickly.
After more than ten minutes, he came back, holding a puppy in his arms.
"Gao Mingcheng, last time I promised to get Gao Zhuang a dog, but I was too busy studying and really didn't have time to send him to Gaojiacun. Fortunately, a month ago, the dog gave birth to another litter of pups. I arranged with him in advance. People have agreed that this dog is the best dog in the litter." Gao Yue held the puppy like a baby and showed it to Gao Mingcheng.
"When you go back, help me bring this dog to Gao Zhuang!" Gao Yue said.
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng agreed, took the little puppy over, and looked at it in his hand. The little puppy was not afraid of strangers, and it made a whimpering sound from its mouth.
This dog hasn't moulted yet, its lanugo hair is milky gray, its eyes are dark, with a little aura, and it looks very smart at first glance.
It and the elf are from the same mother, and they do look a bit alike. Although the elf is not as powerful as the black tiger, it is really smart, very good at pleasing people, and very obedient and sensible.
Hopefully this is a good dog too.
At this time, Gao Guobing came back, and Gao Mingcheng handed the dog in his arms to Duomei. She had just wanted to tease the little puppy.
"Uncle." Gao Mingcheng stood up and greeted.
"Hey, Mingcheng, Duomei, you are here! Duomei is sitting there. Mingcheng and I went into the study to talk." Gao Guobing patted Gao Mingcheng on the shoulder with a smile on his face.
Then he said to Zhao Dongmei: "Please entertain Duomei well and make the food richer. If not, go to the restaurant and bring some dishes."
"I'll entertain you, don't worry. You men go and talk, we women also have women's things to say!" Zhao Dongmei said, ignoring Gao Guobing, but pointed the finger at her son: "You go back to the house and do your homework!"
Gao Yue looked at his dad, um, his dad wanted to talk to Gao Mingcheng, and then looked at his mom, uh, his mom wanted to talk to many beauties, but no one was paying attention to him!
High school seniors have no human rights, so go do your homework!
After everyone left, Zhao Dongmei said to Duo Mei: "We women want to give men face outside, but at home, we need to be equal between men and women, and we need our husbands to take more care of our wives!"
"Duomei, don't be like the women in the village who still believe that their husband is their god. Times have changed a long time ago. We women have to be strong-willed and straighten our backs, so that we can live a fulfilling life."
"Duomei, I've learned about it. The current comrades of the Women's Federation in Gaojia Village have been at the grassroots level for several years and it's time for promotion. Do you want to work for the Village Women's Federation?" Zhao Dongmei looked at Duomei. Her last words were, That's her highlight.
She had known Duo Mei's character before, and after observing Duo Mei for a while, she felt that Duo Mei's spirit was quite good. As long as Duo Mei was willing to work at the Village Women's Federation, she could arrange everything for Duo Mei.
Duo Mei is not stupid. She quickly understood what Zhao Dongmei meant. Her heart was beating loudly and she felt flattered.
Of course, she also knew that all this was not because of herself, but because of Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Guobing and Zhao Dongmei valued Gao Mingcheng, so they were willing to arrange it for her.
"I...I haven't even graduated from elementary school..." The first sentence Duo Mei blurted out revealed her lack of confidence.
Zhao Dongmei smiled. It was common for girls in the village to have poor academic qualifications, but she heard Gao Mingcheng say that he was already teaching Duomei how to read, and now Duomei should know all the common words.
To work in the Women's Federation, it is enough to be able to read and write. The most important thing is to have a heart to seek legitimate rights and interests for women and promote equality between men and women.
Zhao Dongmei is an old woman in the Women's Federation. She is very shrewd and experienced in her work. She can lead many beauties well. As long as many beauties are willing, the work of the Women's Federation will not be a problem.
But Zhao Dongmei's hard work was ultimately ruined.
Because many beauties said they wanted to open a clothing workshop in partnership with a master, and then go to the county to sell clothes.
"Are you learning tailoring from Dong Feixia?" Zhao Dongmei was a little surprised. She still knew about this.
Duo Mei nodded and said: "I have been studying for half a year, and I have learned the basics. I can help with things."
"Oh, that's it...it would be nice to learn a craft. The clothing business in the county is doing very well now. I think many people are willing to spend a month's salary to buy clothes. But those clothes , but they are all purchased from Yangcheng. If you make them yourself, I'm afraid they won't look so good and the styles are not novel enough." Although Zhao Dongmei has never been in the clothing business, she is also a woman and is very concerned about the situation in the clothing market.
Regarding this point, Du Mei has already had a solution, saying: "Before opening a clothing store, Mingcheng will take me to Yangcheng to purchase goods. By the way, I will take a look at the various styles in Yangcheng and buy some of each. After bringing it back, unpack the board and follow the same instructions.”
In this way, the goods in their clothing store have fashionable styles, and they save the time and ticket costs of frequent trips to Yangcheng to purchase goods.
