Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 244 Gao Mingcheng's Cheesy Aesthetics
In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, Gao Mingcheng moved all the medicinal materials required by the pharmaceutical factory to the tractor's bed.

This tractor was parked in the yard. Originally, he wanted to park it in the open space outside for the sake of convenience.

It's better to put it in your own yard.

Fortunately, the yard of his house is spacious, and the yard door is big enough to allow the tractor to come in and out freely.

"How beautiful, I'm going to the county." Gao Mingcheng took the key and started the tractor.

Duomei stood under the eaves and watched him go.

After Gao Mingcheng left, she would go to Dong Feixia's side to work with Gao Shufang and the others after finishing her homework.

Nowadays, many American jobs are paid.

She likes the feeling of making money, and she is very happy every time she makes a sum of money.

Gao Mingcheng parked the tractor at the entrance of the village.

After parking the car, he went to his parents' house to get things. Last night, he had already said in advance that he asked his mother to prepare the bedding and rations in Gaomingli.

When he passed by, his father had already gone to work in the fields, and his mother and his grandma were there.

His grandma was sitting under the eaves, holding some balls of wool in her hand, and looked at a shallow basket beside her, which contained some shoe soles and balls of various colors.

Looking at this posture, Gao Mingcheng knew that his grandma was going to weave shoes.

In winter, it is popular for them to wear woolen shoes that they knit themselves, and they think this kind of shoes are more durable.The soles are bought, with foam soles and wires around them.If you are willing to pay extra, you will have an extra layer of old tire bottom under the foam bottom, which is waterproof and durable.

Under normal circumstances, everyone will buy the one with the bottom of the tire, which can be used longer.

Although Grandma Gao is getting older and her eyesight is a bit dim, she is still very good at knitting sweaters and woolen shoes. She hardly needs to use her eyes to see, and she can do this job well with instinct. .

Most of the family's shoes are woven by her.

Seeing Gao Mingcheng coming in, Grandma Gao smiled and said, "Can Duomi know how to weave shoes? If not, I'll weave a pair of new shoes for you."

Gao Mingcheng was a little flattered, but still rejected Grandma Gao's kindness.

Although Grandma Gao can still knit shoes, her movements are very slow, so she can only pass the time.

"Duomei knows how to weave. She is young, so let her weave." Gao Mingcheng said.

Grandma Gao laughed and said, "You are a pretty good wife."

From her personal point of view, she prefers many beauties, many beauties are clever and handy, able to do housework and field work, and many beauties are better looking than ordinary people.

It can be said that apart from the death of both parents, there are no other shortcomings.

Hearing Grandma Gao praise how beautiful she is, Luo Xiaohua couldn't help snorting softly. She didn't like much beauty at the beginning, and after they became mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they had less contact with each other.

But Gao Mingcheng is promising now, and Duomei has also taken her daughter to learn tailoring, so her face has improved a lot.

"Mingli's things are here, Mingcheng, you can help me take them there. Hey, I did a calculation last night. Although Mingli has a job, it costs money for food and housing. After a month , I don’t have much money left!” Luo Xiaohua sighed.

I thought it was a good thing to have a job, but since I live in the countryside, I have a lot of expenses after I go to work in the county. After removing these expenses, I can't save much money in a month.

Gao Mingcheng didn't know what to say, so he kept silent.

This is the helplessness of migrant workers. They stay at home and have no stable income, but when they go to the city, they have to pay a lot of expenses to survive.

Therefore, there is a word in later generations called the Moonlight Clan.

With the salary of a temporary worker in Gaomingli, if you don't save some money, you are also a moonlight family.

He looked down and saw that there were two piles of things on the ground, one pile was bedding tied and fixed with ropes, the other pile was grain, a small bag of rice, a large bag of sweet potatoes, a bag of dried vegetables, and some seasonal vegetables.

Gao Mingcheng bent down to pick up his things, and walked towards the entrance of the village.

Go along the corridor and pass the Cheng'en house number, and then you will see a pond, bypassing the pond, and on a relatively spacious road, there is a brand new tractor parked.

Gao Mingcheng put his things away and drove the tractor towards the county.

The weather in late October is getting colder, and most of the weeds and flowers on both sides are withered and yellow. This is due to the lack of water, but some pokeweeds are still growing very well.

This thing is also a kind of medicinal material. In winter, the root is dug, washed, cut into pieces and dried in the sun. It can be used as medicine. The property of the medicine is poisonous, but it can treat some diseases such as edema and beriberi.

Because it looks a bit like amaranth, some people call it red amaranth, big amaranth, wet amaranth and other names.

But for the children in the village, the pokeweed fruit can be used for play. The boys use it as a bullet and hit each other. After it breaks, they can dye their clothes red, as if they were shot.

Girls who love beauty will squeeze the juice of the fruit and apply it on their nails, and then show off their red-dyed fingernails smugly.

This thing is really alive. Other grasses are wilted, but it is quite energetic. If you step on it with your feet, it will still be alive.

All kinds of scenery on both sides of the road flashed in my eyes, and the sound of the tractor alarmed the birds in the bushes, and the birds flew up in fright, making crisp birdsong.

After arriving in the county, Gao Mingcheng first went to the pharmaceutical factory and successfully sold the medicinal materials. After selling these medicinal materials, he got another sum of money.

Then, he went to Police Officer Zhao's home.

He had already been here yesterday, and Police Officer Zhao's family also knew the identity of Brother Gao Mingcheng, so they were very kind to Gao Mingli living in their house.

The county already has running water, but some self-built houses will drill their own wells. Police Officer Zhao's house has a well, so the water can be used for free.

However, the well in his house is not exclusive to his family, but shared with the neighbors next door. There is a hollow under the middle of the wall of the two houses, and the well is drilled under it, and the family occupies half of the place. The two share a well.

It was fine in previous years, but this year the weather is dry, and only in the morning will there be more water. Once it is used up, there will be no more water. Even if it is poured, it will be cloudy and unusable.

The tap water in the county also comes from reservoirs, mainly from two major reservoirs, one is Foling Reservoir and the other is Houxi Reservoir.

These two reservoirs are dedicated to supplying urban tap water, not for agricultural irrigation.

And tap water can be recycled to a certain extent, so even if it is dry this year, tap water can still be supplied.

When he came yesterday, Gao Mingcheng only took a quick look at the house, but when he came to deliver things to Gao Mingli today, he took a closer look.

Gao Mingli rented a room on the second floor, about a dozen square meters, with a bed and an old cabinet.

Gao Mingli bought the lock yesterday, knowing that Gao Mingcheng would come to give him something today, so he gave Gao Mingcheng a key.

At this time, he took the key and opened the door lock.

Well, that's what the so-called house is like, there is really no need to lock it up!

But if it is locked, it means that it is a private site, which can make people feel more at ease.

Gao Mingcheng put the things away, then locked the door and went out.

After that, he didn't go to the police station to find Gao Guobing. He just met yesterday. Gao Guobing is not an idler. As the deputy director, he is busy.

If there is a case to deal with the case, if there is no case, you have to go to meetings everywhere.

He came to his house, and now that the house was being renovated, he had a snack to watch.

The second and third floors don't matter, but the façade of the first floor can't be messed up. After the terrazzo is laid and the walls are whitewashed, the soft decoration must continue.

Regarding the soft decoration of the clothing store, he has an idea. The location of this house is good, and it will be used as a commercial area in the county in the future. It will never lose money if it is used to open a store, but if it wants to be a hit, You have to make some movement.

At present, other clothing stores in the county still follow the simple way, just ordinary facades, or hang or display some clothes for people to choose.

But in Gao Mingcheng's eyes, that's too low!
Therefore, his clothing store must be different, beautiful chandeliers must be arranged, which is bright enough; fancy decorative paintings must be brought; carpets must be laid at the entrance; light bulbs must be installed on the shop signs so that the lights can be turned on at night Finally, the entire signboard is bright, and people can see the shop clearly from a long distance.

In addition, the pillars at the door can also be wrapped with golden decorative fabrics. Under the sun, they can emit the golden light of Bling Bling. Although it is tacky, it is definitely eye-catching at this time!
