Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 228

Gao Mingcheng stayed with the transportation company until the evening before returning to Gao Guobing's home. When he returned, Zhao Dongmei had already prepared the meals.

Seeing Gao Mingcheng coming, Zhao Dongmei looked very happy.

She has two sons, but the eldest son has joined the army, and the younger son also went to the provincial capital to study at university at the end of August. Now there are only her and Gao Guobing in the family, which seems somewhat deserted.

And Gao Mingcheng was about the same age as Gao Hong and Gao Yue, and the three of them grew up together, so seeing Gao Mingcheng was like seeing his own son.

"Come wash your hands and eat!" Zhao Dongmei greeted with a smile, so the three of them sat together and started eating dinner.

After the meal, Zhao Dongmei brought an envelope, handed it to Gao Mingcheng, and said, "This is the photo you took with Duomei last time. I've seen it all. It's pretty good."

"If you hadn't seen the photo you took, your Uncle Guobing wouldn't go to the photo studio with me to take pictures!" Zhao Dongmei said with a smile. Before Gao Yue went to university, she took Gao Guobing and Gao Yue to the photo studio to take pictures together. I took a few photos, and I planned to ask Gao Hong to take pictures together when Gao Hong came back to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year.

With that said, Zhao Dongmei also took out the photos she took at home.

Under the light, dozens of photos are spread out on the table, and each photo has a familiar face, either serious or smiling.

Seeing the photos taken by Zhao Dongmei, Gao Guobing and Gao Yue, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but have an idea, should he take his parents to the photo studio to take some photos?
Youth is like passing water in the east, it will never come back, take a photo today, and you can recall the years in the future.

Those years, those people, those things.

The three looked at and chatted with the photo, and Gao Mingcheng also saw a photo of Gao Hong in military uniform, which was taken in the army and mailed back.

Gao Mingcheng took this photo and looked at it carefully.

At this time, Gao Hong was only 20 years old and had been in the army for two years. He had just escaped the title of recruit, but he was still a while away from making contributions.

In his previous life, Gao Hong served in the army for 20 years, until he became the head of the regiment, and then he changed jobs and returned to the county to work in the system.

Seeing Gao Mingcheng staring at this photo, Zhao Dongmei also had a trace of nostalgia on her face, she said: "When Gao Hong went to serve in the army, he also called you, but unfortunately your leg was injured for some reason at that time. You can’t pass the medical examination, otherwise it’s not bad for you and Gao Hong to serve as soldiers together.”

Hearing Zhao Dongmei talk about this, Gao Mingcheng was in a daze. He recalled it for a long time before he remembered what happened at that time.

At that time, a group of people had their eyes on Gaojia Village and came to steal chickens every night. Most of the houses had been stolen. In the morning, the voices of the people whose chickens had been stolen could always be heard cursing.

At that time, Gao Mingcheng also hated these thieves. At that time, he could not eat meat a few times a year, and there were only so many chickens at home. If someone stole it, it would be hard to eat even an egg.

So he called some young men in the village, stayed up for several nights, and finally caught the gang of chicken thieves, and then they got a good beating.

Gao Mingcheng was good at fighting since he was a child, but those who dared to steal chickens were definitely not good at it, so the fight was very fierce. Gao Mingcheng knocked down several people, but in the end he was beaten by one of them with a wooden stick. In the leg, although the bones were not broken, the muscles in the leg were bruised and swollen a lot, which affected walking.

At that time, Gao Hong returned to the village from the county and told him that he was going to have a medical examination for military service and asked him to go with him.

But unfortunately, Gao Mingcheng couldn't go.

When Gao Mingcheng recalled this incident, he felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

He originally had two opportunities to change his fate, but he missed both opportunities.

When he was studying, although he was not a top student, he was still pretty good. If he could follow Gao Hong to the county to study in junior high school, then it was still possible to continue to study in high school or technical secondary school.

The second thing is to serve as a soldier. If he is not injured and passes the medical examination, he can serve as a soldier with Gao Hong.

Gao Hong's ability to become the head of the regiment smoothly has something to do with Gao Guobing. Under the same circumstances, if the family is strong, his official career will be smoother. This is understandable.

Gao Mingcheng's family is not strong, but he has good abilities. If he enters the military camp, after more than ten years of hard work, he still has a chance to become a member of the regular camp. Besides, after Gao Hong becomes a member of the regular regiment, he can still help him a little longer. Bundle.

If he didn't go back to 86, but back to earlier, then he might have embarked on another path.

Under the orange light, the three of them sat there, looking at the photos while talking, talking about the past and the present.

It was a good night's dream. Early the next morning, Gao Guobing and Zhao Dongmei both went to work, and Gao Mingcheng also went out.

Today he is going to get his driver's license. After he has a driver's license, he can drive legally.

When I got to the vehicle management office and reported my name, someone immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "You are Director Zhao's nephew Gao Mingcheng. Director Zhao has already said hello and said that you are coming to take a driver's license test. Come with me, as long as you can drive, you will be able to get a driver's license immediately."

The man was round, with a simple and honest appearance. The Director Zhao he was talking about was Zhao Dongmei's brother, and he was also the director of the Transportation Management Office under the Transportation Bureau.

The responsibility of this transportation management office is to permit and manage passenger and cargo transportation, so it is very convenient for Director Zhao's brother-in-law Xiao Jinfeng to open a transportation company.

The so-called people in the court are easy to handle. Under the leadership of the round-faced man, Gao Mingcheng successfully obtained the driver's license. There are not many vehicles now, and the assessment of the driver's license is not as complicated as the later generations. In addition, Director Zhao said hello. So things went well.

After getting the driver's license, Gao Mingcheng went to his house.

The house has almost been repaired, and the beams and tiles will be ready soon.

Gao Mingcheng was free for the next few days, and he was going back to the village to devote himself to the process of picking gardenias and hedyotis diffusa, so he agreed to leave the beam-raising ceremony tomorrow.

The contractor responded, saying that everything would be prepared in advance, and the owner only needed to come forward.

That being the case, Gao Mingcheng went to Xiao Jinfeng's transportation company again. This time, Xiao Jinfeng was at home, but Gao Mingwan was not there, and Xiao Jinfeng arranged for him to go for transportation with an old master.

Gao Mingcheng said that he had just obtained his driver's license and that the house he built in the county would be erected tomorrow, so he wanted to borrow Xiao Jinfeng's pickup.

This pickup is still parked here today because of the lack of cargo.This car rarely runs long distances, and is basically used for contracting some businesses in the county, such as helping people and houses, transporting large household appliances, etc.

Xiao Jinfeng has a bold personality. When he heard that Gao Mingcheng borrowed it for the purpose of putting up the beams of the house, he took out the key of the pickup without saying a word, and told Gao Mingcheng to just drive.

The reason why Gao Mingcheng wants to borrow a car is because he has to go home to pick up someone for tomorrow's beam-raising ceremony. Besides his wife, many beautiful things, his parents also have to bring them, because building a house is a big deal, and the other brothers are free. If you want, you can also come and enjoy yourself together.

When there are too many people, it is inconvenient to go out. If there is a car instead, it will be much more convenient.

"Thank you!" Gao Mingcheng took the key to the pickup, put his bicycle in the cargo box, and sat in the driver's seat.

After borrowing the car, Gao Mingcheng went to the store to buy melon seeds, peanuts and candies.

Because it is not a market day, there are few people selling things, but the shops are open every day, and these commonly used things are easy to buy.

In addition to shopping, Gao Mingcheng also went to a photo studio. He asked the owner of the photo studio how much it would cost to rent a camera.

When he saw the photos of Gao Guobing's family yesterday, he had the idea of ​​taking some photos with his family. Tomorrow is the beam-raising ceremony of his first house in the county. It is a memorable day. In addition, parents will be brought along, which is a good time to take pictures.

Gao Mingcheng gave the deposit, and then took away a camera and a roll of film, and made an appointment to return the camera after the photo was taken tomorrow, and let the people in the photo studio develop the photos by the way.

Everything was ready, he finally went to the police station, found Gao Guobing, and told him about getting his driver's license and installing beams on the house.

Gao Guobing said, "This is a big deal. Your aunt and I will also go there tomorrow."

Although he and Zhao Dongmei both had to work, it was not a big deal to go away for an hour or two.

After talking about these things, Gao Mingcheng was ready to go home. He drove the old pickup truck in high spirits, but as he moved away from the county, the roads began to become dilapidated. with style.

This is indeed a rare demeanor. Along the way, when someone sees an old pickup, they will instinctively give way and pay attention.

Well, at this moment, Gao Mingcheng is the most beautiful boy on this road!
When passing Junling, Gao Mingcheng found a spacious place to park the car, and then went to Huang Dazhi's house.

Huang Dazhi's parents did get some medicinal materials, but they were all available near home, such as ghost needle grass, pudi brocade, black medicine and so on.

The value of these common medicinal materials is not high, but Gao Mingcheng also calculates the money according to the best quality.

When Huang Dazhi's parents saw Gao Mingcheng, they had a good attitude, while Huang Dazhi's younger brother stared at Gao Mingcheng curiously.

In the eyes of their family, Gao Mingcheng can be regarded as Huang Dazhi's nobleman.

First, he took Huang Dazhi to sell medicine and made some money, and then taught Huang Dazhi the skills of catching rabbits, but the most thankful thing is that he let Huang Dazhi eat the national food!
The appearance of Gao Mingcheng changed the fate of Huang Dazhi, and Huang Dazhi's efforts will eventually change the fate of their family.

After Huang Dazhi gained a foothold in the county, their family's life became better visible to the naked eye. Huang Dazhi's father even wanted to go to the hospital for a physical examination to see if he could be cured of his illness.
