Xiao Jinfeng's wooing was actually a good intention, but Gao Mingcheng still refused.
In his last life, he ran around and experienced a lot. To be honest in this life, he doesn't want to run around anymore. At this time, the roads in most places have not been repaired, and the performance of the car is average. It is true that he can make money by running transportation. Big money, but also very tiring and unable to take care of family.
Although Gao Mingcheng's two sons have not been born yet, after they are born, Gao Mingcheng hopes that he can always be by their side to make up for some regrets.
"Thank you, but I'm used to rural life and don't like to be restricted. Brother Xiao, if you are free, you can come to our village and see the bees I raise and the poria cocos I grow." Gao Mingcheng refused with a smile. , and invited Xiao Jinfeng to Gaojiacun as a guest.
"Okay, I've heard about you keeping bees, getting medicinal materials, and hunting! Let's wait until late autumn and I'll go hunting on your mountain! Hey, speaking of the variety of prey here, there are very few. When I was in the north, there were a lot of prey there!" Xiao Jinfeng was rejected, but he was not angry and changed the subject with a smile.
The conversation between the two made Gao Mingwan stunned for a moment.
Then Gao Mingcheng asked about some things about his third brother here.
Xiao Jinfeng said: "Knowing that your third brother definitely has no place to live in the county, I let him live here. This house belongs to my family. The location is a little bit remote, but the yard is big, the surrounding roads are flat, and the population is small. It's right Convenient for driving practice.”
Gao Mingcheng looked around and felt that this was indeed the case. And despite the fact that this place is very remote now, in the future this place will become an automobile trade city. Most of the sales and repairs of cars will be here. Of course, most of the transportation companies will also be here.
"Brother Xiao, my third brother has lived in the village since he was a child. He may not have much experience. When you teach him, be patient and let him learn slowly." Gao Mingcheng said. He knew that Xiao Jinfeng had a bold temperament, but he was also thoughtful. Shi also had a hot temper, so he was afraid that Gao Mingwan would be slow to learn and would be scolded if he was angered.
Xiao Jinfeng also knew that he had a hot temper, so he refused directly and said, "I won't teach him. I'll find him a good-tempered master to teach him. Leave it to me. If he learns slowly, he won't be scolded." , is going to be beaten.”
"Forget it for others, you learn quickly after being beaten and scolded. As for your third brother, it's not good if you're afraid of being beaten."
Hearing Xiao Jinfeng's words, Gao Mingcheng was fine, but Gao Mingwan showed a horrified expression.
He had just witnessed the sparring between his second brother and Xiao Jinfeng, and knew that Xiao Jinfeng must be very serious, so when he heard that Xiao Jinfeng would find him a good-tempered master, his heart suddenly dropped.
"Haha, okay, you just have to look at the arrangements. I'll leave my third brother to you and I'll rest assured. By the way, will my third brother stay today or come back tomorrow?" Gao Mingcheng asked, who knew Xiao Jinfeng was still there? There was no answer, Gao Mingwan had already said first: "I will stay today."
Gao Mingcheng glanced at him, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask dad to bring you a change of clothes tomorrow."
As for the bedding, it's already June, so there's no need to cover it. If you have a bed, just spread out a mat.
"Okay." Gao Mingwan breathed a sigh of relief. He was willing to stay today to avoid anything happening midway, but not having a change of clothes was also a problem.
After talking about Gao Mingwan, Gao Mingcheng asked Xiao Jinfeng: "Brother Xiao, which route does your transportation company plan to take?"
Xiao Jinfeng said: "Have the Gao Bureau told you? The Gao Bureau has also invested in this transportation company. Now the company does not have many cars and not many drivers, so we will try our luck by running short distances first, and then we will go to Fujian." Over there, the pig market over there is good. If you sell the pigs from here to there, you can make money, and when you come back, you can bring a cart of overseas goods."
"In addition to this line, when the oranges are ripe in the second half of the year, I will go to ZQ City in Guangdong and get a few carts of sugar oranges to sell! Let me tell you, these sugar oranges are different from our local tangerines. They are sweet. There are so many! When the Chinese New Year is approaching, they will definitely sell well!"
Hearing Xiao Jinfeng mention the sugar orange, Gao Mingcheng was immediately moved and said deliberately: "Is it really that sweet? Can you get saplings? I want to plant them! We have nothing else in the countryside, just mountains and land!"
"You want to plant it? Can you grow it? The weather in Guangdong is much hotter than ours." Xiao Jinfeng frowned. He knew that some fruits are only found in the north, and some fruits are only found in the south. Even if it is Even if the saplings survive, they will not bear fruit, or the fruit they bear will not be tasty.
This is the so-called orange in the south and orange in the north.
Gao Mingcheng is very confident about this, mainly because they are also rich in oranges here, but the varieties are not good and they are not as delicious as sugar oranges.
However, in later generations, they had a planting base here and contracted an entire mountain to grow sugar oranges, and they succeeded.
But... to be honest, they do grow sugar oranges here, but the quality is still worse than those in Guangdong and Guangxi. This is due to climate and soil conditions, which cannot be overcome.
But if it is available locally, you can save a lot of transportation and loss costs.
At the beginning of the year, Gao Mingcheng worked hard to open up land, hoping to create a fruit forest, but there were no fruit seedlings for sale nearby, so his dream of a fruit forest was temporarily put on hold.
Facing Xiao Jinfeng's question, Gao Mingcheng couldn't show too much confidence and just said: "Try it! You can also plant orange trees in autumn. When you go there to purchase goods, just help me ask. Let’s buy him a hundred or so saplings first!”
Although Xiao Jinfeng doubted whether sugar oranges could be grown here, he did not refuse this kind of thing, so he agreed: "Okay, if you go there to purchase goods then, I will have someone give it to you by the way. Bring some saplings."
After saying this, Gao Mingcheng felt a faint expectation in his heart.
There are several varieties of native orange trees here, among which the mandarin orange has the best taste. The most famous one is the Nanfeng mandarin orange, and Nanfeng County is right next door to them, not far from each other.
Nanfeng tangerines were a royal tribute during the Tang Dynasty. In 1962, they were rated as a national high-quality fruit, and in 1988 they became a national citrus commodity production base.
It stands to reason that being far is worse than being close. Even if Gao Mingcheng wanted to plant orange trees, he should first consider planting Nanfeng tangerines. In fact, Gao Mingcheng did plant a small patch of Nanfeng tangerines in the mountains of the village in his previous life, but he didn’t know what to do. The thing is, the fruit is sour and small. Not to mention selling it for money, even I am not willing to eat more of it.
This may be because he planted it incorrectly, or the saplings he bought are not authentic. But with such a thing in mind, Gao Mingcheng no longer considers Nanfeng Mandarin Oranges. He might as well try Sugar Tangerine Oranges first.
You know, sugar orange has been popular in the citrus market for many years!
It was not until a series of new varieties appeared later, such as Wogan, etc., and sugar oranges were planted too much that the price gradually dropped.
It was almost noon, Xiao Jinfeng's mother had already cooked the rice and came over to call them to eat, so Xiao Jinfeng invited Gao Mingcheng to eat together.
The dishes are quite rich, including a big bowl of braised pork and two seasonal vegetables.
After Gao Mingcheng had dinner here, he and Xiao Jinfeng walked around and chatted. The more they chatted, the more interested Xiao Jinfeng became in him. He felt that Gao Mingcheng really didn't look like someone who stayed in the countryside, with his vision and knowledge. They are all better than ordinary city dwellers.
Why is such a good person unwilling to go out to do things and insist on staying in the countryside?
Xiao Jinfeng doesn't understand, but he has one advantage, that is, he will never persuade people blindly.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Jinfeng, Gao Mingcheng left on his bicycle. When he left, Gao Mingwan was still learning some basic things from others. Although he didn't understand anything, he did have one advantage, that is, he was willing to go study.
He felt the gap between himself and his second brother here, and he felt a little depressed, but at the same time he felt a little more secure.
Originally, he was afraid that he would have such a good opportunity. He was afraid that if he made a mistake, he would be driven away.
But now it seems that even if he makes a small mistake, he will not be driven away because he has someone to back him up!
The better the relationship between Xiao Jinfeng and his second brother, the more he will take care of him. He knows this clearly.
Gao Mingcheng returned all the way to Gaojia Village and first went to his parents' house.
When he went, his father was sprinkling water on the previously paved cement floor.
When he saw Gao Mingcheng coming back alone, Gao Yuan subconsciously looked behind Gao Mingcheng and asked, "Where is your third brother?"
"Well, he stayed in the county to work. Dad, let me drink some water first." Gao Mingcheng put down his bicycle and walked to the kitchen.
As a result, before I even reached the kitchen door, I saw my mother coming over with a bowl of water, "Here you go."
Gao Mingcheng took it and drank it in one gulp.
The weather was too hot. Although riding a bike back was much better than walking, it was also hot and thirsty.
"Second brother, you just said that third child stayed in the county to work? Did you find something for him to do? What was it? How much is the monthly salary?" Luo Xiaohua was very concerned about this and asked a series of questions.
These were also what Gao Yuan was concerned about, so the couple looked at Gao Mingcheng together.
Gao Mingcheng did not hide it from them. He explained Gao Mingwan's current situation and said to his father: "Dad, please remember to send Mingwan a change of clothes tomorrow."
Gao Yuanyuan nodded quickly. His son had a good future, and he would definitely have to go and see the situation in person before he could feel reassured.
But he asked again: "If Mingwan learns to drive, how much tuition will he pay? Where will Mingwan live and eat, and how much food will he need?"
Gao Mingcheng was dumbfounded, blinked his eyes, and said, "This... I didn't say anything."
When Gao Guobing introduced Gao Mingwan to the transportation company, he didn't say anything. When he went to find Xiao Jinfeng later, he didn't say anything!
Gao Yuanyuan immediately glared at Gao Mingcheng, feeling that this second man was unreliable as always!
"Forget it, let me ask you more clearly when I go there tomorrow! Learning to drive is a big deal. Even if there is tuition fee, the family will pay for it." Gao Yuanyuan said. He usually lives very frugally, but for his sons, To be honest, it was really well done.
He bought a house for his eldest brother Gao Mingpeng. If Gao Mingcheng had not fallen out with his family, he would have owned half of the house.
He also held wedding receptions for his two sons and full-moon receptions for his eldest grandson. In short, he did everything he needed to do.
Gao Mingcheng didn't have such trivial matters in his mind, so he didn't care what they said to each other. He just gave the address of Xiao Jinfeng's home carefully to avoid Gao Yuan going to the wrong place.
Gao Yuanwen has been to the county several times. After hearing the address, he roughly knows where it is. As for the specifics, he will wait until he arrives to find someone to inquire.
Because Gao Yuan wanted to use his bicycle tomorrow, Gao Mingcheng left the bicycle behind and went back to his home first.
After he left, Gao Yuanyuan discussed with Luo Xiaohua.
Gao Yuanyuan said: "Wait a minute, you go pack Mingwan's clothes and put a bag of rice, and then go to the field to pick a bag of vegetables tomorrow morning. I will take it to Mingwan's side and wait for the watermelons in the field." The melons are ripe, I will pick some more and give them to Gao Guobing."
"Tsk, tsk, when I heard that Gao Guobing had been promoted, I started to think about whether he could help arrange a job. I didn't expect that he was so good that he even arranged for Mingwan to learn to drive!"
In this era when crafts are not passed down lightly, it is extremely important to be able to learn a craft that is enough to make a living.
"Okay!" Luo Xiaohua nodded and went to pack Gao Mingwan's clothes in a good mood. When he saw the patches on Gao Mingwan's clothes, he even thought about making two new clothes for Gao Mingwan.
You are about to become a driver, so how can you dress immodestly?
Thinking that Dong Feixia was already making ready-made clothes for sale, she took the money and went to Dong Feixia's place in a hurry.
As soon as I entered, I heard the sound of sewing machines and the voices of girls talking.
Her daughter Gao Shufang and two nieces are all working here.
"Mom, why are you here?" Gao Shufang saw her mother at a glance and asked immediately.
Gao Shuzhen and Gao Shuyuan immediately called out "Auntie".
"Hey." Luo Xiaohua responded, came to Dong Feixia's side, and said, "I want to buy two sets of clothes for Ming Wan. You can see what ones are suitable for him."
Dong Feixia stood up from the sewing machine, took Luo Xiaohua to a place, pointed to the pile of clothes and said: "These are men's clothes, you can pick them out for yourself."
"Mom, why did you buy clothes for third brother? Didn't he just make a suit of clothes himself not long ago?" Gao Shufang asked confused.
You know, her mother was very economical. He bought his third brother's new clothes with his own money.
Luo Xiaohua said with a smile on his face: "Your third brother is going to be successful in the future! Do you know? He is learning to drive from others! When he learns how to drive, he will be a driver! Driver, how glorious!"
"I definitely have to buy him two pairs of clothes to save him from being looked down upon if he's poorly dressed!"
Luo Xiaohua said as she began to choose clothes. She was very familiar with the body shapes of her family members. She would know if they were suitable just by looking at them.
"Really? Why did the third brother suddenly want to learn to drive with someone? Was it introduced by the second brother?" Gao Shufang immediately expressed her guess. In her mind, the second brother is the most capable person.
Luo Xiaohua pouted and said, "How can your second brother introduce me? Gao Guobing introduced me!"
But Gao Shufang didn't buy it, but said: "Without the second brother, how could Uncle Gao Guobing introduce such a good thing to the third brother? The second brother is still more powerful!"
Luo Xiaohua was stunned, it seemed to be the truth.
It's just that both she and Gao Yuan subconsciously ignored this.
Report your results at the end of the month! At the end of April, I just ordered 2,000 yuan. At that time, I was excited and said that it would be a high-quality product by the end of May. . . However, before the editor-in-chief’s recommendation on the 16th, it had been hovering around 2,010. After the promotion, the average price increased by 500. As of early this morning, the high order was 5762, and the average order was 2635. I don’t know if there are any recommendations in June. If so, this should be a good one, right?
