Gao Mingcheng soon found an opportunity to take people to the provincial capital. He received an order to transport a truck of grain back to the provincial capital.
This year, due to dry weather, the county's grain production has decreased. After paying the public grain, farmers are still short of food and have to spend money to buy some. People living in the county need to buy grain frequently.
Because he had learned the news in advance, Gao Mingcheng drove the company car back to Gaojiacun that night, planning to pick him up tomorrow morning and then drive to the provincial capital for work.
To this, Xiao Jinfeng naturally agreed generously.
When passing through Junling, Gao Mingcheng parked the car on the side of the road, went to meet Huang Dazhi's family, and told them that Huang Dazhi planned to take them to a hospital in the provincial capital for medical treatment and set out early tomorrow morning, so that they could prepare their belongings in advance.
After learning the news, Huang Dazhi's parents and younger brother were surprised, but then his father said happily: "This is so sweet! I was thinking about when to go to a big hospital to see a doctor."
"Hey, that's really troublesome for you. When will we set off tomorrow morning? We must get up early."
"We have to leave at seven o'clock. When you see my car, come to the roadside and remember to bring a small stool." After Gao Mingcheng said this, he walked towards the truck.
After getting in the car, he drove very quickly to his home in Gaojiacun.
Time flies and he has been separated from Duo Mei for eight days!
Hmm, I miss him so much. I don’t know if Duo Mei missed him during these eight days.
The truck was so conspicuous that as soon as it entered the village, the people in the village looked at the truck. The children even cheered and ran foolishly behind the truck for a short distance.
It gets dark early in the winter, it's only six o'clock in the evening, and the light is already dim. Fortunately, Gao Mingcheng arrived home before it got completely dark.
As soon as the car stopped, a dog barked.
The two dogs were jumping happily beside the car, as if they wanted to get close to Gao Mingcheng.
The dog's sense of smell is very sensitive. Even before Gao Mingcheng got out of the car, the two dogs had already smelled the owner's scent and knew that the owner was back.
Gao Mingcheng jumped out of the car, slapped the two dogs on their heads with both hands, and said with a smile: "Black Tiger, Elf, long time no see!"
"Mingcheng!" A familiar and excited voice sounded, and Gao Mingcheng's attention immediately shifted from the two dogs to the door.
The sky was dark, but it was not completely invisible. Many Meis were wearing an apron and standing there with wet hands. She looked at Gao Mingcheng with an excited expression and a gleam of joy in her eyes.
"How beautiful!" Gao Mingcheng smiled, walked quickly towards Duomei, then picked up Duomei, and then performed a spinning and jumping job.
In his previous life, he had watched some idol dramas. When the male and female protagonists were together, they often had scenes of them hugging each other and spinning around. At the time, he thought it was baffling, but now when he spins around with many beauties in his arms, he feels quite good.
It's just that he was too strong and almost turned many beauties away. Many beauties exclaimed, and then there was an indescribable excitement.
"Where did you learn this..." Duo Mei asked coquettishly while smiling.
Gao Mingcheng stopped spinning in circles, and just held her in his arms, holding her buttocks with both hands, feeling the fullness that was unsatisfactory in one hand.
Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard an embarrassing cough again. Looking around, he saw Gao Shufang with a slightly red face.
Gao Mingcheng put down many beauties without changing his expression, and many beauties also noticed Gao Shufang. Their faces instantly became hot, and they were too embarrassed to see anyone.
"Second brother... Since second brother is back, I will go back first." After all, Gao Shufang is a biological sister. She will definitely protect her brother's interests and will never be a light bulb!
She made this decision quickly, and planned to leave as if her soles were oiled.
After walking only a few steps, she heard her sister-in-law stop her in shame and panic, and said, "The vegetables are not yet cooked. You have to eat before leaving. You won't have anything to eat when you get home at this time."
It turned out that they were still cooking in the kitchen just now, but after hearing the unique sound of the truck, Duo Mei, who was still cooking, didn't care so much and walked towards the door, and then happened to see Gao Mingcheng getting out of the car.
Gao Shufang chuckled: "I won't eat, and my second brother must not have eaten either!"
She waved to the two of them and ran quickly towards the old village.
Gao Mingcheng was satisfied, Shufang was so discerning! They say a breakup is better than a wedding, and he really has no intention of talking to other people at the moment.
That night, many beauties deeply understood the saying "a little goodbye is better than a wedding"!
Early the next morning, Gao Mingcheng got up first. Without waking up Duo Mei, who was sleeping soundly, he quietly dressed and went out.
The temperature in the early morning is low, and the cold wind blows on people's faces, making it chilly.
Gao Mingcheng opened the cupboard and saw six eggs in the drawer below, so he took them all out and prepared to boil them.
In an era when supplies were scarce, people would choose to boil some eggs and take them with them when they went out, so that they could eat them at any time if they were hungry.
Gao Mingcheng also retained this habit. He was afraid that he would be hungry on the beautiful road, so he prepared some food in advance.
One pot is used to cook eggs, and another pot is used to cook sweet potato noodles. There is also a small piece of bacon at home, which must have been bought many years ago.
After the temperature drops, the meat can be stored for several days after being rubbed with salt.
Gao Mingcheng was pretty quick at cooking, which was better than washing clothes. He didn't have the patience to wash clothes. If he was asked to wash the clothes by himself, it would be a hasty job. He put some washing powder to soak it, and then washed it. Just rub it and wash it, then hang it to dry!
When the sweet potato flour was cooked, Gao Mingcheng went to wake up Duo Mei. After Duo Mei washed up, the hot sweet potato flour just became edible.
Gao Mingcheng had already finished breakfast one step ahead and was now checking the growth of crops in the field in front of the house.
The things he planted in these plots of land were all planted by him before. There are quite a lot of varieties, such as cabbage, radish, chives, garlic, spinach, red cabbage and so on.
At this time, the seeds have broken out of the ground, some grow quickly, and some grow slowly.
Gao Mingcheng pulled out some weeds to prevent them from competing with the vegetables for nutrients and water.
After looking at all the vegetable fields, he went to Xiaofu Mountain. He didn't climb the mountain, but just looked at it at the foot of the mountain.
There is not much water left in the pond, only a shallow layer. The newly planted sugar orange saplings look fine, but we won’t know if they will die until spring next year.
After seeing all this, Gao Mingcheng felt much calmer.
Although he could see more people and things while driving outside, they were too impetuous and unlike the mountains and waters of his hometown, they could calm his mind.
At 6:30 in the morning, we were ready to go.
Many beauties had already put on brand new clothes, a bright yellow cotton coat with jeans and sneakers, which made her look more pretty out of thin air. No one could tell that she was a rural woman.
She put moisturizing cream on her face and her face was rosy. Because she was young and beautiful, she didn't need to apply makeup or powder to be beautiful enough.
She stood there and said playfully: "Mingcheng, can you leave?"
Gao Mingcheng told her last night that when he came back this time, he planned to take her to the provincial capital. For this, Duo Mei had been looking forward to it all night.
"Let's go." Gao Mingcheng said, "You have to talk to your brother and ask him to help take care of the livestock at home."
"Well, okay." Duo Mei responded.
Every time they went out, they would ask Zhang Chengyuan to help take care of the livestock at home. If they were traveling far away, they would also have to help take care of the vegetables in the fields.
This is the case for country people. If you live in the country, you must grow vegetables and raise chickens. However, this also restricts people and makes it difficult for them to go out as they please.
Gao Mingcheng sat in the driver's seat, and Duo Mei naturally sat in the passenger seat. After the car started, it drove all the way towards Junling, and then met Huang Dazhi's family at Junling.
Gao Mingcheng asked them to bring stools yesterday because the carriage was empty and there were no seats.
The truck was too high for them to climb up, so Gao Mingcheng directly carried them up. Then he closed the door of the carriage, but the door was not completely sealed. It was only one meter high. It was mainly to prevent the goods in the car from falling out of the car.
At the beginning, Huang Dazhi had never traveled far, and naturally his family had not traveled far either. This was his first time riding a truck, and his face was full of excitement and excitement.
Especially Huang Dazhi's younger brother, who suffered a lot in life because of polio. He did not go to school and had few friends, which made him often depressed.
But now, he was sitting in the truck and saw the familiar scenery moving backwards quickly, and then everything unfamiliar to him began to appear in his field of vision.
Mountains are still mountains, and trees are still trees. But he knew that this mountain and this tree were the first time he had seen them.
He sat on the bench, his body swaying with the bumps of the truck. His hands clenched the carriage and he looked greedily at the scenery outside.
"Xiao An, come inside, it's cold there." Huang Dazhi's mother said. There was wind coming in from behind, which was very cold.
"I'm not cold." Huang Xiaoan refused. He didn't want to leave here. He was greedy for everything he saw.
What does the county seat look like? What does the provincial capital look like?
Why did his brother take the family to the hospital for medical treatment? Is his brother rich?
Can his disease...be cured?
One thought after another appeared in Huang Xiaoan's mind.
He didn't know the answer, but he was beginning to expect it.
