Deng Wanwan's safe return is certainly a good thing, but with her return, their family is about to face a storm.
But this matter has nothing to do with Gao Mingcheng. He has no position to care about other people's affairs, and he has no time to care about other people's time.
The first time they went to Yangcheng, Gao Mingcheng and Gao Mingwan drove together because they needed Gao Mingwan to show them the way.
But when he went to Yangcheng for the second time, he proposed to drive alone.
Because of Deng Wanwan's appearance last time, Gao Mingcheng had no extra time to go to the wholesale market to purchase goods, but this time he planned to free up the passenger seat so that he could stack the goods.
As time goes by, the end of the year is coming soon.
In the 1980s, the flavor of the year was very strong. People began to pursue the pursuit of buying new clothes for the New Year, eating big fish and meat, and buying various snacks and candies.
Even in later generations, the clothing business at the end of the year is still easy to do.
Soon, Gao Mingcheng made several more trips to Yangcheng and brought back some goods in batches. By the end of December, Gao Mingcheng quit his job as a temporary driver.
Xiao Jinfeng regretted this, but he didn't force it. With this period of buffering, Master Wang's injury had completely healed, and Xiao Jinfeng had hired another suitable driver.
Nowadays, Chengxin Transportation Company has ten trucks, eight large heavy trucks, two pickup trucks, which handle small transportation near the county seat, and a jeep for picking up people.
In two days, it will be New Year's Day. Gao Mingcheng plans to open on New Year's Day, so he has to go back to the village to bring many beauties to the county. In addition, he has to bring Gao Shouwang's goods.
Gao Shouwang's clothing workshop has already been built. He also bought a dozen sewing machines and placed them there. He also recruited several skilled workers from surrounding villages.
In order to open before the end of the year, Gao Shouwang's clothing workshop is also working overtime.
When Gao Mingcheng drove his tractor back to the village, he stopped at the garment workshop in Xing'anling.
The factory building is not very big, just a one-story bungalow with an office and a warehouse next to it.
Because of the cold weather, in order not to affect the progress of the female workers' garment making, the doors and windows here are closed, and some charcoal pots are burned for warmth.
When Gao Mingcheng pushed the door open and entered, he was hit by a wave of heat with a peculiar smell. He immediately turned around and went out to breathe in the fresh air outside.
"Uncle Shouwang, you can't do this. There are so many people and the brazier is burning. How can you close the doors and windows? There needs to be proper ventilation, otherwise people will feel uncomfortable! In serious cases, people will die!" Gao Mingcheng immediately gave Gao Shouwang stern advice.
Burning charcoal in a relatively sealed environment is undoubtedly a suicidal behavior!
Once the concentration of carbon monoxide is too high, people will be poisoned and die.
Besides, due to the dry weather this year, most people didn't take showers frequently. Once they got close, they could smell it. These body odors, plus the smell of dye emitted from new fabrics, mixed together, it was terrible!
Since all winter clothes are made, there is still cotton wool floating in the factory. These are invisible killers!
"Really? No wonder I feel stuffy inside sometimes. Can I just open a window?" Gao Shouwang valued Gao Mingcheng's opinion and decided to adopt it.
Gao Mingcheng nodded, pointed to a window far away from people, and said: "Keep this window open from now on. There must be ventilation inside!"
Gao Mingcheng said again: "Uncle Shouwang, are all the goods ready? I will take it to the county in the afternoon. I plan to open on New Year's Day."
"New Year's Day? So soon? This year's New Year's Eve will be on February 16th!" Gao Shouwang was a little surprised.
Gao Mingcheng said: "Laba is the New Year after Laba, and the 16th is New Year's Eve. At that time, every household will celebrate the New Year at home, and those who visit relatives and friends naturally have to buy new clothes in advance."
The days they refer to refer to the solar calendar, but the Spring Festival and solar terms are all based on the lunar calendar.
Gao Shouwang brought Gao Mingcheng to the warehouse, pointed to the linen bags on the shelf, and said: "Feixia has arranged everything. There are hundreds of pieces, large and small, for men and women. Feixia said, wait until we know which ones are better. If it sells, then work overtime to make it."
Gao Mingcheng did not step forward to inspect the goods. He knew Dong Feixia's craftsmanship and could return or exchange any unqualified goods at any time.
"Okay, I will tell you in time when the time comes." Gao Mingcheng nodded in agreement and called out Gao Shufang who was making clothes inside.
Gao Shufang was immersed in sewing when she heard her second brother's voice and ran to the door.
"Second brother, what did you ask me to do?"
"The clothing store in the county will open on New Year's Day. You and I will go to the county to help today." Opening a clothing store is the busiest time, so Gao Mingcheng naturally had to call for a helper.
My younger sister is well-behaved and sensible, so she is naturally the best candidate.
Gao Shufang was not very surprised by this, but she was also very happy. Who from the countryside doesn't want to go to the city?
"Okay! I'll go back and pack my things now!" Gao Shufang jumped up and down, wanting to spin around in circles with joy.
"Get in the truck!" Gao Mingcheng smiled and asked Gao Shufang to get on the tractor.
"Uncle Shouwang, I'll deliver the goods in the afternoon!" Gao Mingcheng waved to Gao Shouwang and drove the tractor back to the village.
This tractor has been eating dust most of the time since I bought it, but from now on, it will have a heavy task!
When they arrived at the old village, they put Gao Shufang down first, and then Gao Mingcheng continued driving to his home.
Since he was not at home, Duomei had to be busy with things at home and in the fields. Occasionally she had to help her second sister take care of the children, so she didn't go to the clothing workshop to work.
When Gao Mingcheng returned home, he saw many beauties praising the black tiger and the elves.
It turns out that Black Tiger and Elf caught two hares in their own vegetable field. The hares came to the vegetable field to eat them, but they ended up killing Qingqing!
"Mingcheng, you're back!" Seeing Gao Mingcheng's return, many people expressed joy.
When Gao Mingcheng was racing outside, it was not that he never came back. He would always come back every seven or eight days. Of course, every time he would pay the "public food" in the evening and leave early the next morning!
"Duomei, you pack up. We will go to the county this afternoon. In two days, on New Year's Day, the clothing store will open." Gao Mingcheng said with a smile, asking Duomei to pack everything in advance.
When he appeared, the black tiger and the elf greeted him, surrounding him enthusiastically.
Gao Mingcheng found that the fur at the corners of their mouths was stained with blood, not long after they had eaten the rabbit.
The two dogs killed the hare in the morning, and then brought the hare to Duomei. Like Gao Mingcheng, Duomei helped the two dogs skin the rabbit, removed the internal organs, and cut it into pieces for the two dogs to eat. .
Of course, many Americans also charge a part of the processing fee, leaving half of the rabbit meat.
Gao Mingcheng played with the two dogs for a while, praising them for their intelligence and power. The two dogs seemed to understand and became more and more excited, as if they wanted to show Gao Mingcheng a unique trick of biting a hare on the spot.
"Let's go, I'll take you up the mountain!" Although Gao Mingcheng had been back before, he came and went in a hurry and hadn't seen much of the mountain yet.
Duomei packed her things and prepared lunch at home, while Gao Mingcheng took his two dogs into the mountains.
Without Gao Mingcheng, although the two dogs ran around the village, they rarely went into the mountains, especially deep mountains.
Although there are no ferocious bears or tigers in the mountains, there are still dangers.
For most people and dogs, wild boars are not easy to mess with. Without Gao Mingcheng, when the two dogs see a wild boar, they will give in and run away first as a sign of respect!
Gao Mingcheng took his two dogs to the place where the beehives were placed and checked the conditions of the beehives one by one. Most of the beehives were fine, but there were two beehives with very few bees in them for some unknown reason.
This is an unavoidable loss. He has not taken care of these beehives in the past two months. If there is any situation, he cannot detect and deal with it in time.
Gao Mingcheng moved the beehive and decided to move the beehive down the mountain.
In spring, summer, and autumn, there is no shortage of nectar sources in the mountains, but there is a shortage in winter. And this year, the weather is dry, and the vegetation and water sources in the mountains are also affected.
At times like this, things are much better at the foot of the mountain.
Because there are vegetables grown by the villagers at the foot of the mountain, such as cabbage, rapeseed and other cruciferous flowers, as well as the milkvetch sown before Gao Mingcheng, these are good sources of honey.
