After the Lantern Festival, schools are about to start.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Gao Yue will return to school. After not seeing him for several months, Gao Mingcheng drove his tractor to the train station at nine o'clock in the morning.
Gao Yue got out of the car with his luggage and said to Gao Mingcheng: "During the Chinese New Year, I had already approached the village party secretary of Shimen Village and made an agreement with him about buying fruit seedlings. He agreed immediately and promised that he would deliver the fruit seedlings. Send it to Gaojiacun."
"Miao Qian gave me a preferential price, and the fruit seedlings are definitely good. He guaranteed that they will all survive. I agreed with him that he would send the fruit seedlings at the end of March. Gao Mingcheng, do you remember that time? We'll receive it in Gaojia Village! If there's anything wrong, just tell the delivery person directly."
After listening to Gao Yue's words, Gao Mingcheng also had a smile on his face.
Gao Yue said last time about buying fruit seedlings, he would do it for him.
With Gao Yue coming forward, you can worry less about many things. First of all, you can rest assured about the quality of the fruit seedlings. Secondly, you can also save some money on the seedlings.
Gao Mingcheng patted Gao Yue on the shoulder and thanked him with a smile: "Gao Yue, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Gao Yue also smiled and said pointedly: "What's the trouble? My parents wish you could trouble me more!"
Gao Mingcheng had helped Gao Guobing solve the case before, and now he helped Gao Guobing capture the absconding murderer Wang Zhi, and also seized cultural relics from two ancient tombs!
This is two great contributions!
For this reason, Gao Guobing, who was responsible for leading the team to investigate this case, received a commendation from above, and all participants also received bonuses.
With the bonus, it can make up for the hard work they have to go out to handle cases during the Chinese New Year.
"Okay, my train is coming soon. I'll wait at the station first. Gao Mingcheng, I've given you the phone number of the school communication room. If you have anything urgent, just call me if I can help. Tell me." Gao Yue picked up his luggage and prepared to enter the station.
Gao Mingcheng naturally sent him in.
The railway station in the county is very small, so there is no requirement to check tickets to enter the station. However, when you are on the train, there will be flight attendants to check the tickets.
After entering the station, Gao Yue frowned slightly. He found that there seemed to be more people riding the bus this year than in previous years.
"Why are so many people taking the train? They are carrying cotton quilts and big bags. Where are they going?" Gao Yue asked confused.
Gao Mingcheng glanced around and immediately recognized this as the classic look of migrant workers.
If you go out to work these days, you can't just bring a few changes of clothes, but you also have to bring a quilt. Some people even bring buckets and clothes drying racks.
This year is okay, but next year will be the wave of work. People flock to Yangcheng from all over the country, dreaming of finding a job and making money. However, Yangcheng cannot accept so many people, so these people can only wander on the streets and become unemployed vagrants.
The reason why they are like this is also related to the relevant policies and domestic market conditions in 1989. In short, cherish 1988, because it will be more difficult in 1989.
"They should go to Yangcheng to work." Gao Mingcheng said.
Gao Yue was thoughtful, but didn't pay too much attention.
The two said a few more words, and it was time for the train to pull into the station.
"Gao Mingcheng, goodbye!"
Gao Yue waved goodbye to Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng also waved to him and said with a smile: "I wish you success in your studies!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, then Gao Yue carried his luggage and walked towards the incoming train. When the train stopped and the door opened, he got on the train according to the instructions on the ticket.
After seeing Gao Yue off, Gao Mingcheng is going on a long trip again.
Xiao Jinfeng came to him and asked him to go to Yangcheng on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month to bring back Fan Chengyao's son Fan Licheng.
Xiao Jinfeng said: "I will arrange for a driver to transport JDZ's goods to the county in advance. You can just come to the transportation company on the 18th to drive the car away."
This was something Gao Mingcheng had promised before, so he agreed without a second thought.
The university has started, and the elementary school is about to start. Fan Licheng lives with his grandparents, so he naturally wants to go back to study here.
"Okay, I'll go there early then." Gao Mingcheng said.
After Xiao Jinfeng left, Gao Mingcheng said to Duo Mei: "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to invite Deng Wanwan to come over to sell clothes? Find a time in the next two days to go to her house to see if she has recovered. If so, Okay, just ask her to come over and do some work."
"I'm going to Yangcheng for business in two days, and I'll pick up another batch of goods. Then at the end of the month I have to go back to Gaojiacun to plant trees and plow fields. I don't have time to take care of the clothing store here."
Inviting Deng Wanwan to sell clothes was a beautiful decision. She sympathized with Deng Wanwan's experience and was willing to help.
After hearing what Gao Mingcheng said, Duomei immediately said: "I'll go to her house now!"
Women who have had a miscarriage also have to undergo confinement, but it has been almost a month now, so Deng Wanwan's body must have almost recovered.
So Duo Mei left the clothing store under the care of Gao Mingcheng and Gao Shufang, and rode his bicycle to Deng Wanwan's home.
This time I went to Deng Wanwan's home, the same recipe was used, and Deng Wanwan's grandma was criticizing her again in the room next to her.
Perhaps because they were used to it, everyone in Deng Wanwan's family was indifferent, but when they heard that many beauties were calling Deng Wanwan to sell clothes in the county, Deng Wanwan's mother immediately stood up and said eagerly: "Wanwan, I'll pack your things for you. !”
With that said, he hurriedly went to work.
Deng Wanwan's face was pale, but she also showed a smile at this time, and there was a glimmer of hope in her gray eyes.
She always wanted to get out of here, but she had nowhere to go.
Duo Mei had previously offered to let her go to the clothing store to help, but Deng Wanwan did not dare to go without permission, fearing that Duo Mei would just talk casually.
Now many beauties came to pick her up in person, and her heart instantly became hot. Secretly decided that after passing, he must do things well.
She didn't have many things, so Deng's mother quickly packed them up. A change of clothes was packed in a woven bag, and the quilt was tied up with hemp rope.
Deng Zhiyong also said positively: "It's not easy to carry so many things on a bicycle. I can just take the quilt to the county."
Bedding in winter is relatively thick and it is really inconvenient to put it on a bicycle.
So Duomei rode a bicycle, Deng Wanwan sat on the back seat with a woven bag in her hand, and the two of them went to the county first.
As for Deng Zhiyong, he walked toward the county step by step, carrying a heavy cotton quilt.
In an era when transportation was inconvenient, people were accustomed to walking wherever they went, and their foot strength was not comparable to that of later generations.
Seeing Deng Wanwan leaving with others, and seeing Deng Zhiyong carrying a cotton quilt, people in Deng's hometown asked Deng Zhiyong why he was there.
Deng Zhiyong didn't answer, he just smiled.
Because Deng Wanwan has a good place to go, he is also happy from the bottom of his heart, and the joy in his body can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
The others forgot about it, but his mother was cursing on the side, saying that no one wanted Deng Wanwan's dirty body.
Deng Zhi's face changed with courage. He had been holding back before, but now he didn't want to hold back anymore. He stood there, glaring at his mother fiercely, and cursed: "Shut up! If you curse again in the future, I won't do it." I’ll support you in your old age! I won’t give you a penny, and it won’t work for anyone!”
The old lady choked instantly, her eyes widened and her lips twitched, as if she wanted to curse again, but she didn't dare.
She only has two sons, and the younger son is already in jail. Although she doesn't like her eldest son, and now she hates Deng Wanwan for causing her younger son to go to jail, but she still has some sense and knows that she will have to rely on her eldest son to provide for her in the future. .
The reason why he scolded the eldest son wantonly was actually because the eldest son was weak and could be bullied.
But now when her eldest son straightened his back and stared at her, she felt a little scared.
Good people can be deceived, but evil people cannot be deceived. This is the bad nature of some people.
Deng Zhiyong saw that he had hardened his temper and his mother did not dare to scold her anymore. He felt happy and sad at the same time. It turned out that it was such a simple thing to shut up his mother, but he could not do it before.
But after a successful experience, Deng Zhiyong knew what to do next. He deliberately snorted and left without looking back.
Deng Wanwan's mother stood at the door and saw this scene, with a look of relief on her face, but a line of clear tears flowed from her eyes. Years of grievances turned into tears and flowed from her heart.
The men in the family are tough, and so is she. She decided not to spoil the old man anymore. If anyone dared to speak ill of Wanwan again, she would hit him with a kitchen knife!
She wanted to see if it was those people's tough words or her kitchen knife that was tough!
Of course, the reason why they were so tough all of a sudden was because Deng Wanwan had a good place to go, a new hope and a new life.
Only when Deng Wanwan escapes from the muddy environment can they break free from the shackles of the mud.
