Return to the small mountain village in 1986

While forest farm workers were handling wild boars, Xiao Jinfeng approached Gao Mingcheng and talked about purchasing oranges.

Xiao Jinfeng said: "Mingcheng, I have found a buyer for the oranges. How long will it take you to organize people to pick oranges? How many kilograms can you pick at one time?"

Gao Mingcheng thought about it. It was also his first time to sell oranges. It was hard to say how many kilograms of oranges he could get, so he said conservatively: "Let's sell a thousand kilograms of oranges for the first time. We'll see if they sell well. The details on the tree How many fruits there are, I can’t tell you now.”

Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said, "Okay."

After discussing the matter, Gao Mingcheng decided to go back and called Gao Shouwang and asked him to notify Chen Dasong and ask Chen Dasong to start organizing people to go into the mountains to pick oranges tomorrow.

The bamboo baskets for oranges have been prepared a long time ago. If there are not enough, just use sacks.

However, Gao Mingcheng thought about it and decided to buy some more woven bags to keep at home for later use.

After talking about the business, everyone gathered together to smoke and chat, talking and laughing. Gao Mingcheng doesn't smoke, but Director Chen insists on giving him cigarettes.

Some people like to offer cigarettes to others and think that if you don't accept them, you are looking down on them.

Bureau Chen also has this bad habit.

Gao Guobing helped him to politely refuse. Gao Guobing smiled and said to Director Chen: "Don't think Ming Cheng has good physical fitness. In fact, his lungs are not good. When he smokes, he coughs easily, feels uncomfortable, and can't breathe. So he really can't smoke. .”

This can be regarded as a white lie, just like someone in the workplace who uses alcohol allergy to politely refuse to be drunk.

Director Chen looked at Gao Mingcheng. Gao Mingcheng naturally did not expose anything, but smiled and nodded: "Yes, when I was a child, I smoked my father's dry cigarettes and almost killed myself. Later I didn't dare to smoke anymore."

Director Chen laughed and said, "The dry cigarettes are so powerful! If you smoke filter cigarettes first, maybe that won't happen!"

With that said, he no longer had to pass cigarettes to Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Sometimes he refuses to be offered cigarettes by others, just a matter of words. As long as he is determined, it doesn't matter.

But some people's cigarettes are hard to refuse.

Now that Gao Guobing has given him such an excuse, he can use it in the future.

Gao Mingcheng was naturally a smoker in his previous life, mainly because of his mental illness. He always felt that his youngest son learned to smoke at a young age and was imitated by him. Later, he even touched things he shouldn't have touched, ruining half of his life.

So after you are reborn, while your body is young and you have no craving for cigarettes, it will be easy to stop smoking completely as long as you resist the craving for cigarettes in your heart.

Over the years, because he has not smoked, he has really realized the benefits of not smoking. His fingers that are used to holding cigarettes have not been yellowed, his teeth are white, and even his body does not smell like cigarettes. When doing certain things, It won’t attract many beautiful complaints.

With so many benefits, he naturally didn’t want to break the precept.

While talking and laughing, the prey caught today was almost processed, so Gao Mingcheng helped move the prey to the pickup truck.

The bed of the pickup truck is enough to hold all the prey.

It was getting late, and it was getting dark. Everyone no longer stayed here, got into the car, and headed towards the city.

Gao Mingcheng was still responsible for driving the pickup truck, and then he had to follow the jeep and help deliver the prey to the door of each house.

As a result, when I returned home, it was completely dark.

Gao Mingcheng first moved his prey home, then moved the ones belonging to Gao Guobing to his house, and then said: "Uncle, I will deliver the pickup truck to Brother Xiao."

Zhao Dongmei hurriedly stopped him and said, "Why are you back so late? You must be hungry, right? Mingcheng, don't leave yet, let's have a meal together at home before we get busy!"

Gao Mingcheng wanted to refuse. He felt that Gao Shufang must have left food for him, but Zhao Dongmei couldn't help but drag him to the dinner table to eat, and Gao Guobing also asked to leave food for him.

So Gao Mingcheng simply stayed here to eat. Not to mention, his stomach was really hungry!

Zhao Dongmei had already prepared the food, which was now warming in the pot. When it was taken out, it was still piping hot.

After serving rice to the two of them, Zhao Dongmei also ate together.

While Gao Guobing was busy eating, he looked at Zhao Dongmei and said, "Why don't you eat first?"

Zhao Dongmei said: "It's not fun to eat alone. I just cleaned up the house today and didn't do anything else. I'm not too hungry." As expected, eating is about eating in an atmosphere. If the atmosphere is good, even cabbage will taste delicious. The atmosphere is not good and the ginseng and abalone are not good.

Most of the people at this moment ate very quickly, and few were slow. After the meal, Gao Guobing said: "Mingcheng, we promised to hunt wild boars for Xiao Xuxu's first birthday party. Now I have it." I also divided half of the wild boar for you to serve wine, and the remaining half of the wild boar was pickled with salt and made into wind-blown meat, which is enough for our family."

This was Gao Guobing's intention. Gao Mingcheng did not refuse it politely and thanked him generously.

Anyway, when he kills the sheep and pigs in the future, he will send some more meat to Gao Guobing.

Gao Mingcheng put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Uncle, I'm going to deliver Brother Xiao's car first."

The half of wild boar meat that belonged to Xiao Jinfeng was still in the pickup truck.

He went out and drove the pickup truck towards Xiao Jinfeng's transportation company. After delivering the truck, he walked to the clothing store on foot.

The rolling shutter door of the clothing store has been closed, but the light shines through the gap and the sound of the TV can also be heard.

Gao Mingcheng first knocked on the door and made a sound to alert the people inside, then bent down and tried to pull up the rolling shutter door.

With a clattering sound, the rolling shutter door was pulled up.

What came into view was that many beautiful people gathered in front of the TV. Xiao Xuxu was still young and couldn't understand those programs, so he sat alone and played with toys. At this time, he was also attracted by the sound and looked up.

When he saw Gao Mingcheng, Xiao Xuxu immediately opened his hands and shouted happily: "Dad, Daddy!"

He stumbled towards Gao Mingcheng, but unfortunately until now, he was still not walking very steadily. After three or five steps, he fell to the ground.

But it doesn't matter. At this moment, Xiao Xuxu is already dressed like a ball. Even if he falls, it won't be a big problem. Besides, what child doesn't grow up with falls and beatings?

Even though he was thinking this, Gao Mingcheng strode forward without delay and picked up little Xuxu.

"Haha, son, daddy is back! Haha!~" Gao Mingcheng kissed his son's tender little face. The little guy smelled of milk and his skin was as tender as a piece of tofu.

"Mingcheng, why are you back so late? Are you hungry? I left some food for you in the rice cooker." Duo Mei hurriedly came over and said with concern.

Gao Shufang went to the backyard to open the rice cooker and took out the hot food.

But Gao Mingcheng was not in a hurry to eat, but said, "I'll call Uncle Shouwang first. It's already this hour, and I don't know if he's still at the garment workshop."

Gao Mingcheng came to the phone and dialed Gao Shouwang's phone number, and then the phone beeped.

One, two, three.

People nowadays are usually used to answering after two rings. When he heard the third ring, Gao Mingcheng was a little disappointed, but unexpectedly, after the fourth ring, someone actually picked up the phone.

Gao Shouwang's voice came from the other side of the microphone.

"Uncle Shouwang, good evening. It's so late, why haven't you gone home to rest?" Gao Mingcheng greeted.

Gao Shouwang on the other side of the phone laughed and said, "I just packed up and am getting ready to go back."

Gao Mingcheng thought to himself, what a coincidence.

So he told Gao Shouwang that he hoped to send a message for him, and then said: "The clothes in my store are almost sold out. Are you ready with all my goods?"

"There are still about ten pieces left. It's been a bit cold these days, and several employees have caught colds and illnesses, which has delayed the progress. But we are already making progress." Gao Shouwang said.

"Okay, just a little less, I'll bring the finished ones over first and sell them."

After the communication was completed, Gao Mingcheng hung up the phone.

"Second brother, eat it while it's hot!" Gao Shufang handed a large bowl of food to Gao Mingcheng. In order to maintain the temperature of the food, Gao Shufang put the food in a bowl and then put the whole bowl into the rice cooker to keep it warm. , it is also convenient to take out.

"Second brother, are these enough? If not, I will give you some more noodles." Gao Shufang said.

Gao Mingcheng hurriedly took it and said: "That's enough, that's enough. I've already had a bowl of rice at Uncle Guobing's house before."

So Gao Mingcheng took the bowl, found a stool, and started eating. As for Xiao Xuxu, he wandered around him. They hadn't seen each other for a day. Xiao Xuxu was quite affectionate towards his father. (End of chapter)
