Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 430: Quite obedient
Early the next morning, Gao Mingcheng called Xiao Jinfeng and agreed to borrow a car for the holiday.

Xiao Jinfeng naturally agreed.

After breakfast, Gao Mingcheng went to the kindergarten construction site to see if Zhou Le had come to work.

Then I saw Zhou Le building a wall there.

The contractor in charge of the construction site saw Gao Mingcheng coming and immediately told Zhou Le.

Gao Mingcheng nodded in affirmation: "I called him here, and he will work with you from now on."

"Okay." After confirming that everything was correct, the contractor went to work on his own.

While checking the progress of the construction site, Gao Mingcheng came to Zhou Le and observed his situation.

When Zhou Le saw him coming, he immediately grinned at him, but this smile simply exposed his shortcomings.

His eyes are not big to begin with, rather squinty, and his teeth are buck teeth. When he smiles, his eyes are even narrower and his teeth protrude, which is actually not good-looking.

Gao Mingcheng had met Zhou Le several times in his previous life. During those times, Zhou Le had a sullen face and cold eyes, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to bite people.

Although his face is full of ferocity, he also looks a bit cool, so he is quite popular among women in certain places.

The early morning sun shines on the earth, coating everything with a layer of golden light.

The construction site was filled with dust and all the workers looked dusty. However, since it was early in the morning and work had just started, some people were still relatively decent.

Some people don't like cleanliness and don't care about hygiene. Naturally, there are also people who love cleanliness and care about hygiene.

Gao Mingcheng noticed that Zhou Le was still wearing yesterday's clothes, and a pair of Jiefang shoes on his feet had several holes in them, exposing his big toes.

The hair is also dirty and full of grease.

To be honest, this look really doesn't please women.

"Boss Gao, thank you for letting me come here to work." Zhou Le smiled and thanked him.

"You're welcome, you rely on your craftsmanship to earn a living. Well...didn't you take a shower and change clothes when you went home last night? Now that the weather is getting hot, your hair is messy. It's time to shave it." Gao Mingcheng couldn't bear it. However, I still expressed my opinion.

He felt that if Zhou Le wanted to have a different destiny, he had to change himself.

You must be clean and hygienic, and you must dress and eat well. If you only work hard as a scalper for others, then the sunk costs will be too high and you will easily go to extremes.

Zhou Le touched his hair awkwardly. There was a lot of dust on his hands. This touch made his hair even dirtier!
When Gao Mingcheng saw this scene, the corners of his eyes twitched.

He pointed at a person at the construction site and said: "Look at him, he is also working at the construction site, and he is much cleaner than you! You listen to me, after you finish your work this evening, go to the barber shop to have your hair shaved, and then come to my Come to the store and buy some clothes, I’ll give you a discount!”

Zhou Le first thanked him with a grateful face, but then felt a little bitter in his heart.

He subconsciously touched his trouser pocket, and there was only a few cents in it.

Every time he finished something, he would give the money to his wife to keep and ask her to save it, so he didn't have much money himself.

He lowered his head in embarrassment and saw his washed-white pants and shoes with holes. In his mind, he suddenly thought of the new black pants again.

Zhou Le's hand holding the trowel was so hard that the veins bulged.

But in just a moment, he raised his head, showed a simple smile, and said: "Hey, Boss Gao is a knowledgeable person, I will listen to you."

Gao Mingcheng was very happy to see him listen to the advice.

He wandered around the kindergarten construction site and then went to the new house.

Yesterday Huang Dazhi said that the house here is almost completed.

So he came over to check it out.

When Gao Mingcheng was building the clothing store house, his money was tight, so he bought a small piece of land and built a simple house.

He expected to live in this new house for decades, so he bought a bigger land and built a better house.

The courtyard gate has been installed. It is a carved iron gate, which looks very grand.Open the iron gate and enter the courtyard.

The yard was not completely paved with cement and hardened, but was planned and reserved for planting trees and flowers, and flower beds were specially made.

Gao Mingcheng does not plan to use this yard to grow vegetables.

Planting vegetables requires fertilization, otherwise the vegetables will not grow well.Once fertilizer is applied, there will inevitably be an odor.

Besides, he has a mountain and a large piece of land in Gaojia Village. Isn’t that enough for him to grow vegetables?

So in the yard here, he tried to make life more interesting.

Stepping on the cement floor, Gao Mingcheng felt that it was a bit flawed and that it should be paved with terrazzo to make it more beautiful.

After going up two steps, we arrived under the eaves. The main entrance was a more beautiful iron door with tiles both inside and outside.

Since there is no furniture yet, the entire living room and dining room look very empty and large.

Gao Mingcheng's eyes swept over every place, checking the progress of the decoration and whether there were any problems.

Going up floor by floor, he found that there was no door installed on the third floor.

At this moment, he heard the sound of someone coming in. It turned out to be decoration workers carrying several doors.

When the two parties met, they naturally exchanged polite greetings. Gao Mingcheng checked the quality of the door and watched them install it.The person in charge of the decoration said: "Boss Gao, everything has been installed. Do you think there are any shortcomings?"

Gao Mingcheng said: "It's generally okay, except that the yard needs to be paved with terrazzo to make it look better. You can measure the yard later and buy enough terrazzo for construction. When the project is completed, I will give you the final payment."

"Row!"

After deciding the matter, Gao Mingcheng left.

When he returned to the clothing store, he washed his face and hands before hugging his son.

He had never held his two sons in his last life. He always felt that in the blink of an eye, his sons had grown up and stopped kissing him.

Now he wants to make up for this regret. Unless he really has no time, he must hold Xiao Xuxu every day.

While Gao Mingcheng's family and He Meimei were having lunch, the workers at the construction site also dispersed. Those who lived in the county went back to their homes to eat, and those who lived further away would also find a few cheap restaurants to eat.

Zhou Le's home is only about 800 meters away from the construction site, which is considered close, so he went home to eat.

But when he returned home, there was no one at home. After asking the neighbors, he found out that his wife had returned to her parents' home with their son.

The smile on Zhou Le's face disappeared, and he entered the house with a gloomy face.

He stood motionless at the door. After a few minutes, he entered the house and began to rummage through the cabinets.

His money was kept by his wife, but the house was only so big, so he probably knew where the money was. After searching, he finally found the place where he kept the money.

He poured all the money in the small wooden box onto the bed and started counting.

The money seemed to be a lot, but it was all small-denomination bills, only about 30 yuan in total, which should be ordinary change.

Zhou Le continued to search, but found no more money.

His face darkened, and after thinking to himself for a while, he went to his son's room.

After another search, this time I finally found a bankbook.

This passbook belonged to a credit union, and he was the one who opened the account. He opened the account before he got married, and after he got married, he gave it to his wife to keep.

He quickly opened the bankbook and found the latest line.

There is only 260 yuan in total, and it has been a long time since I saved any money.

Zhou Le mentally calculated the money he had earned in the past few years and some of his family's expenses. According to his calculation, his family should have at least 1000 yuan!

Although his clothes were shabby, he earned quite a lot, but he gave all the money to his wife, and then his wife didn't buy much clothes for him.

Zhou Le put the passbook into his trouser pocket and continued to search, but this time he didn't find another dime.

He glanced at Leng Guo Leng Zao. He had encountered this situation before, but at that time, he would just cook a bowl of plain water noodles and eat it, as long as it filled his stomach.

But today, instead of doing it himself, he decided to go to a restaurant to eat.

When he got off work in the evening, he went to a barber shop and had his hair shaved off, and then washed it clean with soapy water.

After shaving my hair, my head felt a lot lighter, and my whole body felt refreshed.

Zhou Le looked at himself in the mirror and finally felt better.

Immediately afterwards, he went to the clothing store opened by Gao Mingcheng.

When I entered, I saw the beautiful crystal chandelier in the store and couldn't help but stop and take a few more glances.

"Hey, Zhou Le is here! Come in quickly!" Gao Mingcheng saw him and greeted him enthusiastically.

When he saw that Zhou Le had shaved his hair and washed his face, he felt much more energetic and felt that he was still listening to the advice.

Listen to your advice!

"Come on, these clothes are suitable for you. They are made of local coarse cloth and are strong and durable!" Gao Mingcheng didn't waste any time and directly brought Zhou Le to cheaper clothes.

These clothes are the most popular items in the store, and they are all produced by Gao Shouwang's family's clothing workshop.

Zhou Le himself had very little experience in buying clothes and had no idea how to choose. He was so dizzy that he only knew that he was right to listen to Boss Gao's advice.

Finally, he bought three pieces of clothing and three pairs of pants.

After calculating the accounts again, he found that Boss Gao had indeed given him a bargain, so he smiled gratefully at Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng looked at the newly dressed Zhou Le and continued: "I don't sell pants or shoes in my store. You can go to other stores to buy them later. The clothes here are brand new inside and out. He looks at least five years younger!" "

Zhou Le was very happy with this compliment.

After leaving the clothing store, he followed the advice and went to buy pants and shoes.

He had already found time to take out the money in his bankbook in the afternoon, otherwise he would not have had the money to buy these.

He was carrying a bunch of things and walking briskly.

When he returned home, he heard his wife crying and cursing, as if a thief had come in to steal something.

Zhou Le was silent for a few seconds, remembering that after turning over things, he forgot to return them to their places.
