A few days after Gao Yue left, something was wrong with the atmosphere in the village, and a trace of anxiety appeared on everyone's face.
Xiao Fushan's tree felling plan has been suspended. Gao Mingcheng gave the reason that the weather was too hot and asked everyone to rest for ten and a half days before continuing to cut trees.
In fact, as the weather becomes more and more dry, the crops in the fields have to be watered morning and evening, otherwise the vegetables will wilt when the sun shines down throughout the day.
The fields were filled with water when transplanting the rice seedlings, and now they are almost dry. This is the time when the seedlings are growing rapidly, and they cannot be short of water. So the sound of water being poured into the fields began to be talked about in the village.
That evening, Gao Mingcheng said to Duo Mei, "I'll take you to the county to take pictures tomorrow!"
Duo Mei was stunned for a moment, then showed an expectant look, nodded and said, "Okay!"
She hasn't had her picture taken yet!
Generally, newlyweds who are in better condition will go to a photo studio in the county to take a picture, but they have not been there since they got married.
However, in the village, there are not many people who know how to take photos. If anyone goes to the county to take photos, the whole village must know about it.
"You can pack up later and bring two sets of clothes. I plan to stay in the county for two more days." Gao Mingcheng said again.
The weather is hot in summer, so you have to wash it every day.
Duo Mei subconsciously said: "If you go to live in the county, what will you do with your livestock and vegetables? Besides, the village plans to release water to irrigate the fields in the next two days! It's impossible to go out at this time!"
Many Americans don't want to live in the county. They think they can go there in a day and come back the same day, so that they don't delay their work in the fields at home.
Upon seeing this, Gao Mingcheng said: "There is not much water in the reservoir. When the water is released, the people in the village will definitely fight for the water. I stay here and I can't do it if I don't show up. If I do, things will easily happen."
Gao Mingcheng took a thick branch from the corner and easily broke it in front of many beauties.
He continued: "We are all from the same village. If I strike too hard and injure, maim or kill someone, it is always bad. As for the livestock and vegetable fields, let your brother help Take care, there is still some water in Xiaofushan's pond, which can be used to water vegetables, and there is still water in the well at home. If your second sister's house has no water in the future, you can come here to pick up two buckets."
Duo Mei looked at the broken branch, feeling slightly dissatisfied and curling his lips.
Her family was weak, and she always suffered a loss when encountering this kind of thing in the past. Now that she finally married Gao Mingcheng, she thought she would not suffer any more, but she didn't expect Gao Mingcheng to avoid it.
She was a little dissatisfied, but she was also afraid that Gao Mingcheng's attack would be too harsh and it would be bad if he hit someone.
These days, she has learned some simple moves from Gao Mingcheng, and she is confident that she will not suffer any disadvantages when facing others. She originally wanted to be strong-tempered, so she said: "Then you go to the county by yourself, I will stay at home."
Gao Mingcheng's face darkened. In his previous life, he had not had a good marriage with Duomei. There were reasons of his own and Duomei's. It was because Duomei had such a strong personality and was unwilling to bow his head to say nice things to his mother, ask for help, and do anything. He gritted his teeth and carried it.
And his mother is not someone to be trifled with. If you don’t say a few nice words and beg her, she will pretend she didn’t see it and won’t help you.
Now that he has been reborn, Gao Mingcheng has changed his ways and has been very kind to Duo Mei. After Duo Mei has lived a comfortable life, his temper has also calmed down a lot and he has become gentler.
But the background of the character will not change easily.
As soon as Gao Mingcheng was angry, he felt a lot of beauty. She immediately looked at Gao Mingcheng carefully. She looked tangled, but finally gave in and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Anyway, her family only has one acre of land, so it doesn’t matter whether she fights for the water or not.
After the two agreed, Duomei went to the room to pack her clothes.
She deliberately brought a few beautiful dresses she bought from Yangcheng. These dresses were so beautiful that after letting Dong Feixia decide, she took them back and wore them, but there were not many opportunities to wear them.
When working in the fields, you are definitely reluctant to wear them. Even if you are willing to do so, they are not as comfortable as wearing loose long-sleeved trousers. When you walk into the fields wearing a skirt, the weeds can cut your calves and make you very itchy.
Just as he was packing his clothes, Duo Mei suddenly thought that the day after tomorrow was the county market day, so he hurriedly got up and ran outside. The sound came after the person had already walked out of the door.
"I'm going to the master's house!"
In about half an hour, she came back with a smile on her face and said to Gao Mingcheng: "Let's bring some clothes to the county to sell tomorrow!"
Dong Feixia has been taking them to make ready-made clothes for a long time, but most of these ready-made clothes are sold at nearby market days and have not been sent to the county for sale.
Since he had to stay in the county for a few days, Duomei was not willing to waste time and decided to take a batch of clothes to the market.
And she also said: "There is still some honey at home, let's take it and sell it together!"
Gao Mingcheng heard her plan and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he nodded in agreement.
He went to collect the honey, which was packed in jars, but it was not available to sell yet.
Early the next morning, the two of them were ready to set off. When passing by Duoyu's house, Duomei went down to talk to her brother and gave him the key to the courtyard door.
Zhang Chengyuan is very willing to help.
Last time I helped for ten days, not only did I get some wages, but I also got an electronic watch.
He cherished this watch very much and was reluctant to wear it when working.
After arranging this, he continued to walk to the old village, and then took out a sack of clothes from Gao Shouwang's house.
With these clothes, Gao Mingcheng and Duo Mei had a perfect reason to leave the village at this time.
There was honey in the iron frame in front of the bicycle, and the sack of clothes was tied to the horizontal bar in front. Many beauties were sitting in the back seat, carrying a bag on their shoulders and wrapping their hands around Gao Mingcheng's waist.
"Sit tight!" Gao Mingcheng reminded, riding his bicycle towards the entrance of the village.
Gao Mingcheng pedaled his bicycle very fast and arrived at the county before the weather got hot.
Because he had a lot of things with him, Gao Mingcheng went directly to the police station to find Gao Guobing.
Gao Guobing had long known that Gao Mingcheng would come to the county in the past few days, but he was very busy at the time, so he gave Gao Mingcheng the key to his home and asked him to open the door and put his things away.
Gao Mingcheng was not polite and took the key directly. He looked around and didn't see Gao Yue, so he asked, "Where is Gao Yue?"
"He went out with someone to handle a case." Gao Guobing said.
After the two parties said goodbye, Gao Mingcheng rode his bicycle to the family compound.
He has been here several times, and the family members around him are also very familiar with him, and they will say hello when they meet.
Gao Mingcheng carried a sack of clothes and a basket of honey in one hand, led Duo Mei upstairs, and then opened the door of Gao Guobing's house.
The house is in good order, but no one is there because Zhao Dongmei is still working at the Women's Federation.
Gao Mingcheng saw that Gao Hong's room had been tidied up and laid out with clean mats, waiting for people to move in.
So he moved everything to the open space in this room and placed it, and then said to Duomei: "Let's go, let's take pictures first."
"Okay." Many beauties are still looking forward to taking photos.
The two of them rode bicycles and found a photo studio. There were only a few photo studios in the county, so business was pretty good.
In front of them, there was also a young man and woman. Judging from their sweet expressions, it was obvious that they were newly married.
"Hey, your dress is so pretty!" After the couple took the photo, they were ready to leave.
After taking the photos at this time, you cannot get the photos immediately. You have to wait a few days to pick up the photos with the order.
The woman was outgoing and even wanted to reach out and touch many beautiful skirts.
"Where did you buy this dress? Why haven't I seen it before?" the woman continued to ask, her expression full of interest.
Many Meis are not introverts. They immediately started to promote it with a smile and said, "I bought this in Yangcheng not long ago. I'm afraid it's not available in the county yet!"
"Yangcheng's dress? No wonder it's so beautiful!" When the woman heard that it was bought by Yangcheng, her expression became more envious. She looked at the man beside her and said pointedly: "It would be great if we could also go to Yangcheng."
The man smiled bitterly.
Isn’t it easy to go out these days?
Although their family has some money and their life is okay, it is only okay.
When Duo Mei saw this posture, he immediately said: "I bought a large number of clothes from Yangcheng, all of the latest styles, and there are many clothes worn by celebrities in Xiangjiang! Tomorrow is market day, I will go to the market Go up and sell it, if you really like it, then come to my stall tomorrow to pick one up!"
"Ouch, really?"
"of course it's true!"
"Then I'll go! I just have nothing to do tomorrow!" The woman was very happy. After making an appointment with Duo Mei, she was taken away by the man beside her.
Soon it was Gao Mingcheng's turn to take photos with Duo Mei.
Gao Mingcheng is used to digital cameras, but it's quite interesting to look at old-fashioned film cameras now.
Nowadays, no one will dress you up for photos. Makeup has not yet swept the market in small counties. Most people only use moisturizer in winter, and a few people use powder, hair wax, lipstick and other cosmetics.
It was rare to take photos, so Gao Mingcheng planned to take a few more pictures. At first, many beauties were very reserved, but with Gao Mingcheng's comfort, they finally relaxed a little.
She patted those with their hair tied up and those with their hair down. When she let her hair down, her whole facial features became softer and more charming.
"Okay!" The photographer couldn't help but praise him when he saw it.
"Get the photos in five days!" The photographer quickly wrote out a receipt and handed it to Gao Mingcheng.
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng put the receipt into his trouser pocket and went out with a lot of beauty.
He may not be in the county in five days, but he can ask Gao Yue to help him pick it up, and then take it back when he comes to the county to do business.
"Duomei, let me take you to see our house in the county." Gao Mingcheng led Duomei towards the house under construction.
Many Americans have long known that Gao Mingcheng, with the help of Gao Guobing, got a piece of land in the county and built a house.
She also knew that after the house was repaired, she would come here to open a clothing store and be responsible for selling the clothes produced by Dong Feixia and others.
She was quite looking forward to this.
But this is my first time to see a house.
Because even Gao Mingcheng himself had never visited it a few times.
When the two arrived at the construction site, they saw construction workers working under the scorching sun.
The house has a total of three floors, and it has now been repaired to the third floor. After the roof is capped and tiles are laid, doors and windows can be installed and the walls can be painted.
As for the floors, the first floor is paved with terrazzo, and the second and third floors are paved with ceramic tiles. There are few types of ceramic tiles nowadays, and most of them are in the shape of small white bricks. Apart from not being that beautiful, there is nothing wrong with it.
After greeting the contractor, Gao Mingcheng asked some more about the condition of the house.
The contractor knew who owned the house, so he had a very good attitude and answered all questions.
After asking, Gao Mingcheng didn't find any obvious problems, so he also asked about Gao Guobing's house.
The contractor told him that Gao Guobing's house has been repaired and is now being renovated. He will definitely be able to move in before the end of this year.
Gao Mingcheng was also very happy when he heard this.
During the Spring Festival this year, Gao Hong, who is serving in the army, can go home to visit relatives and live in a new house, which is quite good.
The house is still under construction, and the masonry and cement will fall down, so there is no need to go in and take a look, just take a general look from the outside.
Gao Mingcheng asked about the cap date, and then he was ready to leave.
On the day of capping, he and many beauties still have to come to the scene.
Building a house is a big deal, and there are some rituals that go into capping it, which require the presence of the owner of the house.
There was still plenty of time today, so Gao Mingcheng decided to buy a trolley.
Today is not a market day, so things are not put out for sale, but you can go to a carpenter's house to buy them, or even customize them. Ordinary trolleys are not high enough to facilitate loading goods, but Gao Mingcheng bought the trolley to sell clothes, so it had to be slightly taller.
And on one side of the car body, a row of wooden racks should be installed, which can be used to hang clothes. Hanging clothes can better display the styles of clothes and attract the attention of passers-by.
This kind of trolley is actually quite popular. When Gao Mingcheng told the carpenter, the carpenter understood, then he took out the wood tools and started working on it.
Duo Mei looked at the wood of the trolley. Although it had been planed and the surface was relatively smooth, she was still afraid that the wood thorns would damage her clothes, so she said to Gao Mingcheng, "We still have to buy a piece of fabric to lay on the trolley."
Gao Mingcheng thought it should be like this, so he bought a piece of fabric with red flowers and spread it on the flatbed truck to make it look festive.
By the time everything was settled, it was already afternoon.
Returning to the family compound of the police station again, I placed the cart directly in the yard.
Although petty theft is very popular at the moment, few people dare to come here to steal things.
Speaking of petty theft, the atmosphere in the county has actually improved a lot now. This is related to two people, one is He Dayou and the other is Huang Dazhi.
As a former gangster leader, He Dayou changed his mind and became a co-police officer, so his subordinates would no longer dare to commit crimes blatantly.
Another thing is that Huang Dazhi's observation skills are very good, and he can see everything clearly. As soon as he walked to the market, he could easily catch the thief and pick up some small coins by the way.
Therefore, when he first became a co-op, Huang Dazhi caught many petty thieves in order to perform meritorious deeds.
When Gao Mingcheng brought down these gangsters, he would rob them with his backhand, but Huang Dazhi couldn't do this because the money was called stolen money and had to be turned over to the police station.
