Gao Mingcheng had dinner in the police station cafeteria. After dinner, he went to find Gao Mingli.
Gao Mingli had already got off work and was cooking noodles in the rented house. He had a small stove for burning briquettes and a small pot on it. The noodles in the pot were almost cooked and steaming.
Gao Mingcheng looked down and couldn't help but clicked his tongue, "You're going to eat this? Why don't you crack an egg?"
Dinner in Gaomingli is noodles boiled in plain water, without even adding much oil.
Gao Mingli laughed dryly and shouted: "Second brother."
Because the noodles were already cooked, he took the pot away from the stove and placed it on a piece of corrugated paper. Then he placed a kettle on the stove and let the remaining firepower continue to boil the water.
During this gap, Gao Mingcheng saw that what was burning in the stove was not briquettes, but charcoal.
It turns out that Gao Mingli cooks only one meal a day, and most of the time he cooks noodles. Therefore, he did not burn briquettes, but charcoal. Moreover, the charcoal was not purchased, but was leftover after burning earthen stoves in the countryside.
Next to the stove, there are some chopped firewood piled up, which are used to start the fire. In addition to small pieces of firewood, there are also dozens or twenty briquettes placed. When there is a lot of fire, it is definitely more convenient to burn briquettes.
"Second brother, have you eaten?" Gao Mingli asked. If the second brother didn't eat, he would give some to the second brother with bowls and chopsticks.
Gao Mingcheng said naturally: "I've eaten it, you just have to eat it yourself."
So Gao Mingli became rude. He took out a can of pickles, put some into the pot with chopsticks, and then ate them directly in the pot without taking a bowl.
As for the reason for doing this, most men know it - too lazy to wash the dishes!
After Gao Mingli finished eating the noodles, Gao Mingcheng explained his purpose.
He did not ask Gao Mingli to quit his job at the sugar factory as soon as he came up, but asked: "How are you doing at the sugar factory? Is that Li Wenwu still causing trouble for you?"
Gao Mingli laughed when he mentioned Li Wenwu. With the help of his second brother, he beat Li Wenwu up last time, which was considered revenge.
He said: "I'm okay now, and Li Wenwu doesn't trouble me anymore. At first he came to me and asked if I hit him, but I didn't admit it."
Gao Mingcheng nodded and said, "No need to admit it."
If there is no surveillance and no evidence, just beat them.
Of course, if the other party insists on biting Gao Mingli and takes revenge, then there is no need for evidence, because there is also a saying called free heart evidence.
But fortunately, there was someone behind Gao Mingli, and the other party tried to avoid it, so he finally decided to forget it.
Although Gao Mingli is doing well in the sugar factory now, Gao Mingcheng still expressed his new choice.
He said: "Mingri, do you want to be a driver like your third brother and drive a sports car? You have to know that although you have a stable job in the factory, you don't have much money. Look at your third brother, he now has at least a few hundred dollars." .”
"I didn't ask you to go before because the transportation company didn't have time to teach new people and only wanted experienced drivers. But it's different now. I will be helping out at the transportation company until the end of the year. I can take care of you during this time."
When Gao Guobing suggested that Gao Mingli go to the transportation company, Gao Mingcheng also thought it was good. After all, working in a factory is equivalent to living on a monthly basis. Even if you save more, you won't make much money all year round.
Of course, if Gao Mingli becomes a regular employee later, the money will be slightly higher.
But this salary is not as good as being a driver.
The driver's salary is high, and the driver also has some extra money, such as picking up people on the way and getting a fare, or taking the opportunity to purchase goods by himself, making some profits by buying and selling them, or helping others carry goods and earning some benefits, etc.
When Gao Mingcheng said this, Gao Mingli was really moved, but also a little hesitant.
He said: "The third brother said... being a driver is also very hard, you have to drive all the time, and you will also encounter some dangers."
"The greater the risk, the greater the profit! There is nothing you can do about it. If you really want to be a driver, you need to exercise well." Gao Mingcheng said pertinently.
It’s not safe on the road now, but it’s actually not bad. After all, it’s already 1987. Soon the country will vigorously build expressways and build national highways, and the roads will become better and better.
In addition, public security will get better and better, and the gangsters and road bullies who once made people hate them will slowly disappear.
As more and more areas are covered by surveillance, the safety of drivers will be more assured.
"Well, there is no rush in this matter. You can think about it slowly, or you can have a good chat with your third brother. Besides, when your third brother has fully experienced it, you can also let him take you. "Gao Mingcheng said that he was just proposing a new life choice for Gao Mingli, not asking Gao Mingli to make an immediate decision.
The best thing about working in a factory is that it is stable and not too tiring.
But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, there is no money.
Gao Mingli works step by step, and it will take a while before he can become a full-time employee, and it will take several years before he can be qualified to work as a sugar maker.
"Well, I'll think about it." Gao Mingli was in a relaxed mood, and he was quite happy knowing that he had a way out.
He knew that Gao Mingcheng was already working in a transportation company, so he asked with interest: "Second brother, how do you feel about working in a transportation company?"
He asked the third brother this question. The third brother said that he was actually quite tired. His nerves were always tense and his body was sore after driving.
But Gao Mingcheng said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay. As long as you can drive and pay attention to the road conditions, it's okay. Just don't drive for too long at once, otherwise you will feel tired and your body will be stiff and uncomfortable. You need to drive appropriately." Stop to rest your eyes and stretch your body.”
Because Gao Mingcheng is in good physical condition and has just driven a car, these feelings are not yet obvious.
If you keep working as a long-distance driver, you will develop occupational diseases over time.
You know, prostatitis is more common among long-distance drivers.
Gao Mingcheng told Gao Mingli what he saw and heard on the road, and then smiled and said: "I have only made two trips, there is nothing interesting. I will let your third brother tell you next time."
Listening to Gao Mingcheng's story, a kind of ambition gradually grew in Gao Mingli's heart.
He wanted to see the world.
When he first came to the county town, he felt that the county town was quite prosperous and lively, completely different from Gaojia Village. Therefore, he was a little timid, a little inferior, and at the same time a little excited. He was eager to stay here for a long time.
For this, he can pay some price. For example, when Li Wenwu suppressed him, he endured it.
Because he didn't want to lose the opportunity to stay in the county, he didn't want to return to Gaojia Village, and he didn't want to live a life with his face facing the loess and his back turned to the sky.
He has seen the other side of life, eager to improve his life, and eager to integrate into the prosperity.
But now, after talking to his second brother, he suddenly found that he was still a frog in the well, and the world he saw was still not big.
What is the outside world like?
