After Gao Mingcheng got his driver's license, he drove a pickup truck, a jeep, and a truck. But he never expected that when it was his turn to drive a tractor, he would have to learn it all over again.
But fortunately, the tractor he bought was not a walk-behind tractor, but a Jiangxi Fengshou 180 double-cylinder tractor. It has a steering wheel design and a blue body, which looks a bit handsome.
Its load capacity is very good, it can pull seven or eight tons of goods, and it runs faster than Dongfanghong. In addition, it is produced by tractors in the provincial capital, so the price is also quite good.
At this time, it was the glorious era of tractors in the provincial capital. The Jiangxi Fengshou 180 tractor produced was sold to many places and received many praises. But with the development of the times, I eventually became lonely.
This tractor is powered by two cylinders, and the rear axle is very durable. Under normal circumstances, it can be used for twenty years without any problems.
Based on this, Gao Mingcheng gave priority to purchasing this tractor when purchasing it.
When Gao Mingcheng happily bought a tractor, Gao Mingli was looking sad.
Under the leadership of Xiao Song, he has successfully joined the sugar factory and became a temporary worker, but... it is easy to find a job, but not easy to find housing!
The sugar factory has staff rooms, but the staff rooms cannot be occupied by a new temporary worker. Therefore, although Gao Mingli has a job, he has no place to live.
Xiao Song was also in a dilemma. He was from the county, but at this time, everyone's housing was very tight and they couldn't spare a room for Gao Mingli.
When Huang Dazhi joined the police station last time, Xiao Song helped Huang Dazhi solve the housing problem, but the house was in poor condition, with poor lighting, dark and damp, and no one wanted to live there, so it was empty.
"Didn't your second brother build a house in the county? When I passed by last time, it seemed that the doors and windows were already being made. Why don't you go over now and have a look? If it works, you can live there first." Xiao Song helped with ideas. .
Gao Mingli hesitated. He was also there when the beams were built on the house.
But that was the second brother's house, and Gao Guobing helped his second brother build it.
"Let's go and take a look first. Maybe it's not finished yet and there's no room for people to live in it." Xiao Song saw his hesitation, but still wanted to drag Gao Mingli to the house.
Xiao Song didn't know what the relationship between their brothers was, but now he had to solve the housing problem in Gao Mingli first. If that didn't work, he could only help rent a room.
The reason why Gao Guobing likes to use Xiao Song is because Xiao Song handles things properly and will do things properly.
Soon, the two arrived at Gao Mingcheng's house.
The construction team is still working at this moment, busy installing doors and windows, whitewashing walls, laying floors, etc.
The first floor is paved with terrazzo, but the second and third floors are paved with ceramic tiles. The tile patterns nowadays are simple, basically small white porcelain, and they are purchased locally. If you go to other places to get the goods, such as Yangcheng, Shanghai, etc. , then you can definitely find more fashionable and good-looking products, but there is no need, because the price is not what Gao Mingcheng can afford now.
The first floor was being paved with terrazzo and there was a mess everywhere. The two of them knew that the house was not inhabitable for the time being without even getting close.
Well, I can only think of another way.
"Do you have any ideas? There is an empty room in Gao Bureau's house. Your second brother always lives there. How about you..." Before Xiao Song finished speaking, Gao Mingli quickly shook his head and refused.
"No, I don't live there." Gao Ming was frightened, shaking his head and waving his hands.
The relationship between Gao Mingli and Gao Guobing is not that great. If he lived in Gao Guobing's house, Gao Mingli would feel uncomfortable.
Xiao Song looked at Gao Mingli for a few seconds, okay, he can only take the last way.
So he took Gao Mingli to find someone at the street office near the sugar factory and asked where there were rooms for rent. He just walked around but couldn't find a suitable house.
By the afternoon, Gao Mingli was also a little anxious. Their family had discussed whether to go to the sugar factory or the paper factory to work, but they had forgotten to discuss the issue of housing.
If it were two months later, then we could live in the second brother's house, but now the second brother's house has not been fully renovated and there is no way to live in it.
When Gao Mingwan went to work in the transportation company, he had room and board directly there, so even Gao Yuanyuan forgot about this problem for a while.
"Let's go back to the bureau first. I'll ask other colleagues if anyone has an empty room? If that doesn't work, you can sleep with my cousin He Dayou tonight," Xiao Song said.
He is already married, but his cousin He Dayou is not sure yet, so he is not married yet, but recently his aunt is actively dating his cousin.
Gao Mingli didn't have any better ideas, so he could only listen.
When they returned to the police station, they saw a brand-new tractor parked on the roadside near the police station. Xiao Song only needed to glance at it to recognize the make and model of the tractor.
Gao Mingli didn't understand this, he just thought this tractor was pretty good-looking.
As soon as his eyes shifted from the tractor, he saw Gao Mingcheng standing under an osmanthus tree, leaning against the trunk of the tree, looking at the distant scenery, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something.
"Second brother, what are you doing here?" Gao Mingli asked curiously.
Gao Mingcheng smiled and said: "I asked Dazhi to draw a portrait for me. Dazhi, how did the painting go?"
Gao Mingcheng asked, looking to Huang Dazhi aside.
Huang Dazhi was sitting on a small bench, holding a cardboard in one hand and a pen in the other, drawing lines quickly.
"It's almost done." Huang Dazhi lowered his head and concentrated on painting, and said vaguely.
Others were already standing behind him, looking at the cardboard in his hand.
It was a piece of cardboard as the base, and then there was a piece of white paper. On the white paper, the image of Gao Mingcheng appeared vividly on the paper.
Although it is a sketch, the facial features are not completely similar, but the characteristics of Gao Mingcheng's facial features are accurately captured, especially the unique spirit, which makes people recognize Gao Mingcheng at a glance.
"Not bad, the painting is eight-point likeness!" Gao Mingcheng praised, feeling that Huang Dazhi really had some talent for painting.
He was good at observation and had a good memory, but his cultural foundation was not good. He had never been exposed to painting before. However, after studying under Gao Guobing's arrangement, he gradually showed another advantage.
"Dazhi learns quickly and is willing to work hard. His master always praises him." Xiao Song also said with a smile.
Huang Dazhi's master is about to retire. If Huang Dazhi can learn all the skills before his master retires, it will be a good thing for the police station.
At this time, cameras and cameras were not widely available. In the process of handling cases, artificial auxiliary images were needed to handle cases and find people.
Several people praised Huang Dazhi, but they made him blush.
He gave the painted portrait to Gao Mingcheng, who kept it himself.
Gao Mingcheng took a closer look and was still a little satisfied. In the future, some artists would paint portraits for people on the streets, and they would charge how much for one painting.
Gao Mingcheng feels that no matter how hard Huang Dazhi works, he will be able to eat a bowl of rice called an artist in the future.
Suddenly, a new idea came to mind, and Gao Mingcheng immediately said to Huang Dazhi: "Dazhi, you should pay more attention in the future to see who wears good-looking clothes, and then draw all the styles that you think look good."
Huang Dazhi was stunned and didn't know why, but he instinctively obeyed Gao Mingcheng's instructions.
"Okay." After agreeing, he began to think about how to draw clothes.
After all, when he was studying with his master, he mainly painted human faces.
He thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he decided to ask his master later.
So he said: "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he hurriedly went to find his master. Before going to the master, he prepared a pack of cigarettes that the master liked to smoke.
If you want to learn skills, you have to serve your master well.
Gao Mingcheng is now very familiar with Huang Dazhi. Looking at his back, he knows what he is going to do. He feels emotional in his heart. It is precisely because of this motivation to learn that Huang Dazhi is where he is today.
Although he gave Huang Dazhi a chance, whether he can do well depends on Huang Dazhi's personal ability.
"Mingli, have you finished your work? Are you going to work starting tomorrow?" Gao Mingcheng looked at Gao Mingli and asked with concern.
Gao Mingli immediately looked sad, and Xiao Song said quickly: "Everything at work has been taken care of, but the housing problem has not been settled yet. I plan to ask my colleagues and neighbors to see if there is any problem." Empty rooms for rent.”
When Gao Mingcheng heard this, he also thought that now it was not like the factories of later generations, where food and accommodation were included.
The current factory recruits workers from the county, so there is no need to provide housing at all. Even if the factory funds the construction of employee housing, only the old employees have the opportunity to be allocated housing. In short, the temporary workers who have just joined the company will not be able to get the housing. work.
"My house..." Before Gao Mingcheng finished speaking, Xiao Song had already said: "Me and Mingli went to see it just now. The terrazzo is being laid now. Although doors and windows have been installed upstairs, the floor tiles have not been laid yet. , no one can live there.”
There was nothing Gao Mingcheng could do now.
Next, Xiao Song enthusiastically helped and asked his colleagues to see who had available rooms.
After searching, he actually found it.
A police officer named Zhao has an empty room in his home that can be rented out to Gao Mingli.
Police Officer Zhao is also from the county. He owns a two-story self-built house. His parents live on the first floor, and he and his wife live on the second floor. Because he has no children yet, there is still an empty room.
After finding a house, things will be easier. The house can be rented at the market price, and then Gao Mingli can move in.
But he came in a hurry, and although he brought two sets of clothes, that was all he had, so Gao Mingcheng took him to buy toiletries.
Fortunately, he spent the fifty yuan on himself, so he had the money to pay the bills. As for the sugar factory wages, they won't be paid until next month.
After making arrangements for Gao Mingli, Gao Mingcheng was ready to go home.
When he took out the car keys and sat on the brand-new tractor, Gao Mingli's eyes widened and he exclaimed: "Second brother, is this the car you bought? You bought the tractor!"
Gao Mingcheng patted the iron guy, made a dull voice, and said with a smile: "I will come to the county to do business tomorrow. I will bring your bedding then. What else do you want to bring?"
Gao Mingli thought for a while and said, "Bring some food such as sweet potatoes and dried vegetables."
Police Officer Zhao asked him to have dinner with him, but Gao Mingli refused.
We are not familiar with each other, so it feels uncomfortable to eat together, and we also have to pay for food. In this case, why not buy a small stove by yourself, buy a bun to eat in the morning, eat in the factory cafeteria at noon, and cook something casually in the evening Eat it with noodles or porridge.
People born in the countryside are still very capable of taking care of themselves and can endure hardships.
