The next morning, after Gao Mingcheng had breakfast, he carried all the medicinal materials required by the pharmaceutical factory to the bed of the tractor.
The tractor was parked in the yard. Originally, he wanted to park it in an open space outside for convenience, but many beauties refused to let it go. Parking such a valuable thing outside always made people uneasy.
It's better to put it in your own yard.
Fortunately, his yard is spacious and the yard door is large enough to allow the tractor to enter and exit freely.
"How beautiful, I'm going to the county." Gao Mingcheng took the key and started the tractor.
Many beauties stood under the eaves, watching him leave.
After Gao Mingcheng left, after finishing her work at home, she would go to Dong Feixia's place to work with Gao Shufang and the others.
Nowadays, many American jobs are paid.
She likes the feeling of making money, and she feels very happy every time she makes money.
Gao Mingcheng parked the tractor at the entrance of the village.
After parking the car, he went to his parents' house to get things. Last night, he had told his mother in advance to prepare Gao Mingli's bedding and rations.
When he passed by, his father had already gone to work in the fields, and his mother and grandma were there.
His grandma was sitting under the eaves, holding some balls of wool in her hand. Next to her was a shallow basket with some shoe soles and balls of various colors in it.
Looking at this posture, Gao Mingcheng knew that his grandma was going to knit shoes.
In winter, it is popular here to wear home-knitted woolen shoes, which they feel are more durable. The soles I bought were foam soles with wires all around. If you are willing to pay more, there will be an additional layer of old tire bottom under the foam bottom, which will make it waterproof and durable.
Under normal circumstances, everyone will buy the ones with tire soles, which can last longer.
Although Grandma Gao is getting older and her eyesight is a bit dim, she is still very good at knitting sweaters and knitting woolen shoes. She hardly needs to use her eyes to see. She can do this job well by instinct. .
She took the time to knit most of the family's shoes.
Seeing Gao Mingcheng come in, Grandma Gao said with a smile: "Does Mei know how to knit shoes? If not, I will knit you a new pair of shoes."
Gao Mingcheng was a little flattered, but he still rejected Grandma Gao's kindness.
Although Grandma Gao can still knit shoes, her movements are very slow and she can only pass the time.
"Duomei knows how to weave. She is young, so just let her weave." Gao Mingcheng said.
Grandma Gao laughed and said, "You are a pretty good wife."
From her personal point of view, she prefers many beauties. Many beauties are clever and can do work at home and in the fields. Moreover, many beauties are better-looking than ordinary people.
It can be said that apart from the death of both parents and no support, there are no other shortcomings.
When Grandma Gao praised Duo Mei, Luo Xiaohua couldn't help but snorted. From the beginning, she didn't like Duo Mei. Later, after they became mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they had less contact with each other.
But Gao Mingcheng is now successful, and many beauties have taken their daughters to learn tailoring, so their reputations have improved a lot.
"All of Mingli's things are here. Mingcheng, please help bring them there. Hey, I did some calculations last night. Although Mingli has a job, he has to spend money on food and housing. After a month, , I don’t have much money left!” Luo Xiaohua sighed.
I thought it was a good thing to have a job, but my family is in the countryside. After I went to work in the county, I had a lot of expenses. If I removed these expenses, I wouldn't be able to save much money in a month.
Gao Mingcheng didn't know what to say, so he remained silent.
This is the helplessness of working people. They stay at home and have no stable income, but when they go to the city, they have to pay a lot of expenses to survive.
Therefore, later generations have a word called the Moonlight Clan.
With the salary of a temporary worker in Gaomingli, if you don't save a little money, you will only earn a living.
He looked down and saw two piles of things on the ground, one was bedding tied up with ropes, the other was grain, a small bag of rice, a large bag of sweet potatoes, a bag of dried vegetables, and some seasonal vegetables.
Gao Mingcheng bent down, picked up his things, and walked towards the entrance of the village.
Passing along the corridor past the Cheng'en gate, you will see a pond. Around the pond, there is a brand new tractor parked on the relatively spacious road.
Gao Mingcheng put away his things and drove the tractor toward the county.
The weather is getting cooler in late October, and most of the wild grasses and flowers on both sides are withered and yellow. This is due to lack of water. However, some pokeweeds are still growing very well.
This thing is also a kind of medicinal material. In winter, the roots are dug, washed, cut into pieces and dried in the sun, and then it can be used as medicine. The medicinal properties are poisonous, but it can treat some diseases such as edema and athlete's foot.
Because it looks similar to amaranth, some people call it red amaranth, big amaranth, wet amaranth and other names.
But for the children in the village, pokeweed fruit can be used for fun. The boys use it as bullets, hitting each other's bodies. After breaking, they can dye the clothes red, as if they were shot.
Girls who love beauty will squeeze the juice from the fruit and smear it on their nails, then show off their red-stained fingernails.
This thing is really alive. Even if other grasses are wilted, it is still alive. If you trample it down with your feet, it will still be alive.
Various scenery on both sides of the road passed by my eyes. The sound of the tractor startled the birds in the trees. The birds were frightened and flew up, making crisp bird calls.
After arriving in the county, Gao Mingcheng first went to the pharmaceutical factory and successfully sold the medicinal materials. After selling the medicinal materials, he got another sum of money.
Immediately afterwards, he went to Officer Zhao's home.
He had already been here yesterday, and Officer Zhao's family also knew the identity of Brother Gao Mingcheng, so they were very kind to Gao Mingli living in their house.
The county already has tap water, but some self-built houses will dig their own wells. Officer Zhao’s home has a well, so the water is free.
However, his well is not exclusive to his family, but is shared with his next door neighbor. There is a hollow under the middle of the wall of the two houses, and the well is drilled below, and one family occupies half of the space. The two families share a well.
In previous years, nothing happened, but this year the weather is dry, and there will only be more water in the morning. Once it is used up, there will be no water left. Even if it is pumped up, it will be turbid and cannot be eaten.
The county's tap water also comes from reservoirs, the most important from two major reservoirs, one is Fuling Reservoir and the other is Houxi Reservoir.
These two reservoirs are exclusively used to supply urban tap water and are not used for agricultural irrigation.
Tap water can be recycled to a certain extent, so even if it is dry this year, tap water can still be supplied.
When he came yesterday, Gao Mingcheng only took a quick look at the house. Today, when he came to deliver things to Gao Mingli, he paid more attention.
The room Gao Mingli rented was on the second floor, about a dozen square meters, with a bed and an old cabinet.
Gao Mingli bought a lock yesterday and knew that Gao Mingcheng would come to give him something today, so he gave Gao Mingcheng a key.
At this time, he took the key and unlocked the door.
Well, that's what the so-called family has to do. There's really no need to lock it up!
But locking it means it is private land, which can make people feel more at ease.
Gao Mingcheng put his things away, locked the door and went out.
Next, he didn't go to the police station to find Gao Guobing. He just met him yesterday. Gao Guobing was no idler. As the deputy chief, he was busy.
There are cases to handle, but if there are no cases, you still have to go to meetings.
He came to his house. Now that the house was being renovated, he had to have some snacks and keep an eye on it.
It doesn't matter if it's the second or third floor, but the facade on the first floor can't be messed up. After the terrazzo is laid and the walls are whitewashed, soft decoration must continue.
He has ideas about the soft furnishings of the clothing store. The location of this house is good, and it will also be a commercial area in the county in the future. If it is used to open a store, it will never lose money, but if he wants to become an instant success, You have to make some noise.
Nowadays, other clothing stores in the county still follow a simple approach, with ordinary facades, hanging or displaying some clothes for people to choose from.
But in Gao Mingcheng's eyes, that's too low!
Therefore, his clothing store must be unique. Beautiful chandeliers must be arranged, which are bright enough; there must be some fancy decorative paintings; carpets must be laid at the door; light bulbs must be installed on the shop sign so that the lights can be turned on at night. Finally, the entire signboard was lit up, and people could see the store clearly from a distance.
In addition, the pillars at the door can also be wrapped with golden decorative fabrics. Under the sun, they can emit a bright golden light. Although it is tacky, it is definitely eye-catching at this time!
