On October 15th, Gao Mingcheng and Duo Mei got up early in the morning. After getting up, Duo Mei ran to the kitchen to cook rice noodles for Gao Mingcheng without bothering to wash up.
The rice noodles here are strong and delicious. People here prefer rice noodles to noodles. In later generations, out of ten shops on a street, five of them would sell rice noodles!
Gao Mingcheng practiced boxing in the yard and stretched his muscles. After practicing the boxing, he put on a thin long-sleeved shirt.
Wear a white shirt with jeans and a pair of sneakers on your feet. This look is refreshing and handsome.
"Mingcheng, the rice noodles are ready, come and eat!" Many beautiful voices came from the kitchen.
On the table, there are two bowls of rice noodles, one large and one small. The large bowl has two poached eggs, and the small bowl has one poached egg. It is also served with some shredded pork and vegetables. It looks very rich.
Gao Mingcheng sat down and prepared to eat.
But Duo Mei was not in a hurry to eat. After she cleared the stove, she went to rinse her mouth and face. Unlike Gao Mingcheng, who was not afraid of being burned, she dared to eat with it as soon as it came out of the pot. She was naughty and afraid. Hot and afraid of cold.
After she washed up, the rice noodles were just warm enough to eat.
"Duomei, I only went out for about three days this time. I sold the medicinal materials and then came back. We are short of water in the fields and most of the rice is empty. Just leave it alone and wait for me to come back and cut the belt again. Come home." Gao Mingcheng said.
It's been a dry year this year. People can have water to drink, and the water for irrigating the ground every morning and evening depends entirely on groundwater. One of the reservoirs has dried up, and the remaining two reservoirs are only bottomed out, and the water quality is turbid.
But there is still some water in one ditch. Half of this water comes from the mountains and half comes from the ground. The amount of water is not large, but after being used up every day, it will be restored the next morning.
"Yeah." Duo Mei responded, knowing that Gao Mingcheng was afraid that he would be tired, so he was in a good mood.
The production of rice fields has decreased, but the rice straw still has to be harvested. The empty rice can also be used to feed chickens, while the straw can be used to feed cattle and sheep.
It will come in handy in winter when there is less fodder.
In addition, it can also be placed on the bed board to keep you warmer when sleeping in winter. It can also be used to make a chicken coop, or it can be twisted into straw ropes. In short, it has many uses.
For rural people, every plant and tree is a treasure.
The couple were talking, and footsteps came from outside. Gao Mingcheng walked out of the kitchen and saw Gao Mingli at a glance.
Gao Mingli was also freshly dressed, carrying a cloth bag with two sets of changes of clothes in it.
Although it is already mid-October, the weather is still relatively hot. When you go out to do errands, you will sweat even more and need to change your clothes frequently.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law." Gao Mingli greeted the two of them with an excited look on his face.
This is the first time for this young man to travel far away. He can’t help himself!
"Why did you come here? When the car comes, it will pass by the old village. I just need to call you." Gao Mingcheng said.
Gao Mingli smiled and said: "Hey, dad asked me to come over and help first. You have a lot of medicinal materials here, and it will take a lot of time to load them into the car."
"Oh, that's okay. Have you had breakfast?" Gao Mingcheng asked casually, thinking that even if he didn't eat, he could only give him some biscuits and snacks.
Duomei cooked two bowls of noodles, but not much.
Fortunately, Gao Mingli said: "I've eaten."
Okay, no need to entertain.
While a few people were talking, the sound of wheels crushing pavement stones was heard again outside. As soon as they heard this sound, they knew it was a big truck.
Before Gao Mingcheng and Gao Mingli walked out, they heard Xiao Jinfeng's cheerful voice coming from outside: "Gao Mingcheng, I'm here!"
"Haha, I heard it from all the way! You come down and rest first while I bring the medicinal materials." Gao Mingcheng greeted him with a smile, and at this time Xiao Jinfeng had parked the car and jumped out of the driver's seat.
The car he drove today was a Huanghe brand heavy-duty truck. It was brand new and it looked like he had just bought it not long ago.
Gao Mingcheng knew that Xiao Jinfeng had made a lot of money transporting motorcycles outside a few days ago. Now that he saw this Huanghe brand heavy truck, he knew that Xiao Jinfeng's transportation company had made a lot of money.
When the transportation company accumulates original capital, it will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
Xiao Jinfeng opened the truck compartment and could see that one-third of the medicinal materials were piled inside.
When Xiao Jinfeng and Gao Mingcheng went to a medicine fair, they naturally would not go empty-handed. Instead, they listened to Gao Mingcheng's suggestion and purchased a batch of medicinal materials from several villages near the suburbs of the city.
But he left this matter to his parents, unlike Gao Mingcheng who did it himself.
At least half of Gao Mingcheng's medicinal materials were obtained by himself from the mountains, and they were also the ones with the best prices.
It was said that Xiao Jinfeng was asked to rest, but how could Xiao Jinfeng rest? Seeing that Gao Mingcheng had started to move the medicinal materials, he also stepped forward to help.
Gao Mingcheng was strong, Xiao Jinfeng was also strong, and Gao Mingli helped. In addition, the medicinal materials were already piled at the gate, so they only needed to be moved to the car.
With the efforts of the three people, all these medicinal materials have been loaded into the car.
Fortunately, the truck Xiao Jinfeng drove was quite large and could just fit all the goods.
After several people finished their work, Duomei brought three cups of tea for them to drink to quench their thirst.
All three of them drank, and they were about to set off later. Drinking water appropriately and solving physiological problems were all things that should be done.
Three minutes later, Gao Mingcheng also took a canvas bag and got into the car with Gao Mingli.
This kind of truck usually has two seats, one driver's seat and one co-pilot's seat. Logically speaking, it can only seat two people, but now the road management is not so strict. As long as it can accommodate three people, it is not a problem.
There is a carriage full of goods in the carriage, and people can only sit on the goods, but that would be too unsafe.
Gao Mingcheng's figure looks slimmer when he takes off his clothes, but Gao Mingli's figure is purely thin.
He was currently in his puberty and was as thin as a bamboo pole, so it was not uncomfortable for the two of them to sit together.
Xiao Jinfeng was in charge of driving. He started the car, and the car's engine immediately made a sound.
Gao Mingcheng stuck his head out of the window, waved to Duo Mei who was standing at the door and said, "I'm leaving, please be careful at home."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back!" Duo Mei also waved goodbye to Gao Mingcheng.
As the two looked at each other, the car had already reversed, then turned around and headed towards the entrance of the village.
This section of road was specially repaired by Gao Mingcheng, so the car drove very smoothly.
But after the car left, it immediately left deep wheel marks on the road, indicating that the car was too heavy and would leave wheel marks on this kind of dirt road.
If the car goes back and forth a lot, it will leave deep marks on the road over time. Once it rains, water will accumulate like small puddles.
When the brand new Huanghe brand heavy truck passed by the old village, it attracted the curious attention of many people. There were few people in the village. The last time Gao Mingcheng drove back an old pickup truck, they all thought it was very handsome.
Now that the brand new Huanghe brand heavy-duty truck was unveiled, they discovered that the old pickup truck was really not good.
"Tsk, tsk, Gao Mingcheng actually collected so many medicinal materials? This trip must have made a lot of money!" An aunt said, but her tone was sour.
"Yes, his family has more and more money." Another aunt beside him also agreed.
Everyone is very envious of the changes in the Gao Ming Cheng family.
There is a house, land and a backer!
"Ha, if you have the ability, don't sell the medicinal materials to him, so that he can earn less." Some people who disliked the two people spoke up, and they came up with a mockery: "When selling medicinal materials, You are the most active! You are the happiest when you get money!”
As soon as the man spoke, some of Gao Mingcheng's relatives and friends immediately said: "Gao Mingcheng can make money, and that's what he should make! Last time, Duomei said that all the family's money was used up to purchase medicinal materials. Their own The medicinal materials sent by others have not been paid for, and we promised to make up for them when we come back. If it is on you, do you have such capital? How dare you do business like this? "
