Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 594 Gives Maozi two choices

The shops on the street are self-operated and choose different days to open after the New Year. For example, those selling New Year goods and firecrackers will open their stalls on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Most of the remaining shops open on the sixth and eighth day of the lunar month.

Gao Mingcheng's clothing store was late and chose to open on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. On the early morning of the ninth day of the lunar month, Gao Shufang and Zhang Jinling cleaned the clothing store and waited for customers to come and make purchases.

Gao Mingcheng was checking the books and inventory and found that he had sold a lot of goods before. This year, it was cold and business was pretty good.

After reading the account book, Gao Mingcheng remembered that he had not met Huang Dazhi after the New Year, so after talking to Duo Mei, Gao Mingcheng went to the police station. At this time, the police officers also started to go to work.

After finding Huang Dazhi, Gao Mingcheng naturally chatted with Huang Dazhi about Du Hongyu's revenge. Although he had heard about it from Gao Guobing, different people might have different versions, that is, the details were different.

Other people will not only gain a few pounds in a new year, but will at least have a rosy complexion. Huang Dazhi is different. His dark circles can almost rival those of a giant panda!

If Huang Dazhi says it, it’s because he’s been too tired during the Spring Festival!

After getting the news, he sent his wife back to her parents' home for fear of accidentally injuring his wife and children.

As soon as Luo Li left, Huang Dazhi's time was basically spent on work, so he was really tired.

"This Spring Festival, I only had two days off. I went to my father-in-law's house for one day to pay New Year's greetings, and I went back to my parents' house for one day to pay New Year's greetings. But I was very tired. But now, even though I'm at work, I don't need to go out to work." At the end, , Huang Dazhi is still cheerful.

Looking at Maozi's house, although Maozi bought new tiles and renovated the roof after making money, it is still relatively dilapidated.

Shi Laosan was indeed imprisoned after a court trial.

When he found Mao Zi, Mao Zi was chatting with others. Three or five young men gathered together and talked happily.

He has been here several times, but he has never taken a good look at the environment here.

Gao Mingcheng came to his senses and said, "Maozi, I'm going to show you a place where you can play billiards. What do you think?"

As soon as I heard about the labor camp, I had to work. There were tea mountains and large rice fields there, so the male prisoners grew rice and the female prisoners picked tea leaves.

Gao Mingcheng smiled.

In fact, it wasn't just him who was tired, everyone was tired.

However, as soon as Gao Mingcheng arrived, Mao Zi put out his cigarette, and upon seeing this, the other young people also said goodbye and left.

"Brother Mingcheng." Mao Zi saw him looking around without speaking, so he couldn't help but call out.

After chatting with Huang Dazhi for a while, Gao Mingcheng left the police station and prepared to go find Mao Zi.

"Play billiards? I know how to do this!" Mao Zi usually has nothing to do and often walks around the streets. He doesn't know many serious things, but he knows a lot of miscellaneous things.

Although they say they are in prison, they are actually being held in a labor camp, so prisoners after entering prison are called reform-through-labor prisoners.

Gao Mingcheng was not in a hurry to speak, but stood at the door of Mao Zi's house and looked around.

This place is a little remote from the main street, but there are quite a lot of people living here, and they come from all walks of life.

But having solved a crisis and gained a huge credit, overall I am still happy.

It would be colder to live in a house like this in winter.

Last time when he and Gao Yue went to play billiards, an idea suddenly came to him. Now that the New Year is almost over, he can implement this idea.

"If you can play billiards, that's even better. If you were asked to start the game, which position do you think is best?" Gao Mingcheng asked.

Throughout the 1990s, the billiards room was quite popular.

Huang Dazhi smiled again and said: "By the way, the Gao Bureau came to me and told me to rest for two days, and then go to Yongqiao Labor Camp and ask me to talk to Shi Laosan. The Gao Bureau said that was What idea did you give? Ming Cheng, your idea is really powerful, even if Shi Laosan didn't betray Du Hongyu, it would still disgust them!"

In the time without the Internet, if young people want to have fun, then of course three bedrooms and one living room are their first choice!

Gao Mingcheng was choosing among the three rooms and one living room, thinking that he could have a billiards room or something else. He was afraid that there would be too many beautiful things, and he was also afraid that his children would follow suit and become bad in the future.

Although billiards is discriminated against, it is still a serious form of exercise.

Mao Zi seriously thought about it. In fact, there are also billiard tables in the county now, but the number is relatively small, and most of them are open-air.

After a while, Mao Zi said: "If you want to open a billiards room, you don't need to set up a shop on the street. Just put a few tables in a crowded place, such as near a factory. There are many people there. You can also come and play after get off work. .”

"Or maybe I can do it here. I know the people here well. If a billiards room is built, they will definitely come to support it. Besides, there is a high school two miles away from me! Those young guys , and some also like to play billiards.”

Gao Mingcheng also knew that the high school Mao Zi was talking about was a relatively poor high school with a very average admission rate. Many people just got a high school diploma.

But such high school students will indeed be attracted to the billiards room, and they can be regarded as a hidden user group.

Gao Mingcheng nodded. As the saying goes, it is better to be experienced than to be experienced. In fact, he also preferred to build a billiards room here.

The billiards room is a place for playing games and recreation. It is true that there is no need to choose a store on the street. Stores on the street are expensive, and it is not cost-effective to rent or buy.

Gao Mingcheng looked at Mao Zi and expressed his plan: "Mao Zi, your house is old, and it leaks from air and rain. Do you have the money to rebuild a new building? If you repair it, the first floor Rent it to me and you can live on the second floor. Then I'll ask you to look at the place for me, how about it?"

Mao Zi's face was happy at first, and then collapsed again.

He sighed and thought to himself, if I had the money to repair the house, then I wouldn't need to rent the first floor to you, I would just build the billiards room myself!

But society is like this. Without productive capital, you can only work for others.

Mao Zi said: "Brother Mingcheng, I don't have money to build a house. I originally got a batch of goods, but unfortunately... By the way, Brother Mingcheng, I plan to go to the next county in two days. I have to inquire and see the monkeys." What happened? Was he locked up or escaped?"

Mao Zi once imagined that the monkey also escaped, but now it is the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, and the monkey still has not come back!

Therefore, the possibility of the monkey escaping is no longer high.

Because the monkey didn't come back, the monkey's mother and sister had a hard time this year, so they begged Maozi to go over there and ask about the situation.

Maozi was also worried about the monkey, so even though he was at risk of being exposed, he still agreed to go over and inquire about the situation.

Mao Zi's righteousness is somewhat appreciated by Gao Mingcheng.

If he is not righteous, he will have to be careful.

Since Mao Zi had no money to build a house, Gao Mingcheng came up with a second plan. "Maozi, I have another plan, that is, I will pay to build a house for you, and then the first floor will be mine, the second floor will be yours, and the land will be yours as well. Do you think that's okay?"

As soon as he heard this plan, Mao Zi's heart beat rapidly. God, can he live in a new house?

But Maozi had been involved in society for a long time. Although he was moved, he still considered it carefully and did not answer immediately.

Although he subconsciously thought that Gao Mingcheng would not cheat him, he still had to think about it and discuss it with his friends to see if he could agree.

Gao Mingcheng did not expect him to agree straight away, but said: "Aren't you still going to ask for news about the monkeys? Wait until you come back from the next county, and then tell me the answer. If possible, after spring, we will buy wood and bricks Tiles, steel and concrete are ready for construction.”

Mao Zi became even more excited when he heard this. His cheeks turned red with excitement. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother Mingcheng, I will think about it carefully. When I come back, I will go find you right away."

"Okay." After Gao Mingcheng said this, he was ready to go back.

Funding Mao Zi to build a house was not a sign of kindness on his part.

Nowadays, when building a house in the village, if you have wood, you can build a two-story house for about 5,000 yuan. In the county, it will be a little more expensive, but it can be controlled within 8,000 yuan.

Mao Zi's land, the house plus the small platform in front of the house, covers about two points, which is about 133 square meters.

Note that this is the square footage without pools.

In other words, after the house is built, the usable area of ​​the house will definitely be 120 square meters. As long as you spend five square meters to build a bathroom, the rest of the area can be used to place a billiard table.

And because the first floor is open, only a few load-bearing columns are needed, which saves a lot of bricks and cement costs.

As for the second floor, it doesn’t need to be too complicated. Just three rooms, as is popular nowadays, plus a balcony and bathroom.

Therefore, the overall cost is not much, and the back of the first floor belongs to him, which can be used as a billiard room. From now on, when the Internet is available, he will always be able to make a lot of money.

After that, if the business of the billiard room is good, it can be kept open. If it is not, it can be rented to others for use as a warehouse. If Maozi becomes rich and wants to spend money to buy the first floor, then he can also sell it to him.

In short, Gao Mingcheng felt that this business was not a loss.

As for Mao Zi, he didn’t lose money either, he even made a lot of money! You can live in a new house and have a job without spending a penny!

Collecting old things is never a long-term solution, and Maozi was walking on the edge of the law when he went to sell protected animals, which was very dangerous.

Gao Mingcheng felt that Maozi would most likely agree, but he was not in a hurry. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month had not yet passed, there was still snow on the ground, and it would snow from time to time, so it was not possible to start construction.

When Gao Mingcheng went to talk to Mao Zi, Deng Wanwan came to the door. She came to tell Gao Mingcheng something. It turned out that Wang Xun's mother fell down yesterday. When she fell, she subconsciously supported her body with her hands, and then Resulting in a broken wrist.

Because it was a comminuted fracture and the condition was quite serious, the county doctor suggested that he be sent to the provincial capital for surgery.

Deng Wanwan said: "Early this morning, Ah Xun took my mother-in-law to the provincial capital to see a doctor. It was difficult to buy train tickets at the moment, and the trains were full of people, so he rented a car to go. I originally planned to go to the capital after the Lantern Festival, but now that my mother-in-law is injured, it’s hard to leave right away. My mother-in-law has to have surgery and is almost recovered, so Ah Xun can leave with peace of mind."

"I'm here to tell you that if Brother Mingcheng is in a hurry to go to the capital, then he will leave first. If he is not in a hurry, he will wait for us."

Although Gao Mingcheng was not here, these beautiful words could answer for him: "It is better for everyone to go together for this long trip. Mingcheng is not in a hurry to go. It is such a winter. If I didn't want to go with you, He might want to go later."

After hearing this, Deng Wanwan felt relieved.

But because her mother-in-law and Wang Xun were not at home, her new daughter-in-law was also very busy. She had to take care of the food and drink of the whole family, and she also had to establish a good relationship with her two step-sons and step-daughters in advance, so she did not stay long and returned in a hurry. Gone home.

Looking at her leaving figure, Gao Shufang thought thoughtfully and suddenly said: "Actually, it's not easy for Wanwan. Although Wang Xun is a little rich, Wanwan is so young and beautiful. After this marriage, she hasn't given birth to a child yet. We have to take care of our stepsons and stepdaughters first.”

She frowned and thought, and then said: "I don't want to be someone's stepmother!"

Duo Mei smiled and said: "Who is going to let you be a stepmother for others? Even if you want to, your second brother will have to break your legs! As for Wanwan, Wanwan can just be happy with it!"

Gao Shufang didn't know Deng Wanwan's past, so in her opinion, Deng Wanwan suffered a big loss by marrying Wang Xun.

But Gao Mingcheng and many beauties knew it, and Deng Wanwan also told them that after Wang Xun knew about her past, he still decided to marry her and was willing to bring her parents to live in the capital.

Just imagine, what regrets does Deng Wanwan have about marrying such a man?

In short, everyone has his own destiny!

Speaking of this, Duo Mei added: "Your second brother said that in two days he will call a few young people to the store to buy clothes. Then you can take a closer look to see if there is anything you like. If you like it, you can Second brother, let’s find someone to ask.”

"It's the New Year, and you're not young anymore. When I went to my parents' house to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, my parents still mentioned this matter. I think they were a little bit blaming Ming Cheng for not caring enough to introduce you to someone."

"By the way, I'm going to give you more vacation this year. It's good for you to walk outside more and make some friends."

After saying many beautiful words in succession, Gao Shufang's cheeks were already blushing.

Unmarried girls are always shy when hearing about the topic of their blind dates.

Gao Shufang nodded and said she would take a closer look.

It's not that she doesn't like him at all, it's just that sometimes she likes the other person, but the other person doesn't like her, and sometimes the other person likes him, but she doesn't like the other person.

Marriage is a matter of fate.

Two days passed in a flash.

This morning, several young men came into the store, and Li Fei came in with the men.

Li Fei smiled as soon as she came in: "Ming Cheng, these are my colleagues, and one of them is my colleague's cousin. They all plan to buy new clothes from you, so you have to give them a discount!"

Gao Mingcheng said grandly: "You can choose whatever you want, it will definitely be cheaper than buying it elsewhere!"

At the same time, Gao Mingcheng gave Gao Shufang a wink, indicating that she could observe these men carefully.

Li Fei is Zhao Dongmei's future daughter-in-law. Although they have not yet married, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along well. Li Fei has also helped Gao Mingcheng, and the two parties have some contacts and friendships.

This time, Zhao Dongmei asked Li Fei to gather together the single male teachers in the school and take them to the clothing store in the name of acquaintances getting discounts, so that Gao Shufang could look at them carefully.

If Gao Shufang is interested, let Li Fei test the male teacher's tone. If both parties are interested, they can arrange a time to meet and date.
