Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 595: Missing and Being Missed

Gao Shufang's educational level is not high, she only has a primary school diploma.

But after she went to the county to help her second brother sell clothes, she began to study, from recognizing new words and practicing calligraphy to reading a lot of books.

She has read a lot of miscellaneous books, and may not be very knowledgeable about anything, but at least she understands a little bit about everything. When selling goods, she can basically strike up a conversation on the topics that customers talk about.

After the group of male teachers entered the store, they went straight to the men's clothing area. Gao Shufang received the look from her second brother indicating that although she was a little shy, she followed them calmly and used a relatively professional eye to select for everyone. Wear clothes that suit them.

Men are naturally not as good at buying clothes as women. Except for a few people who have ideas, they basically buy what others recommend. If they have more money, they will not even have the patience to counter-offer.

So under normal circumstances, Gao Shufang quite likes to entertain male customers.

With her recommendation, the male teachers found clothes that suited them one after another. Since they were all jackets, they generously took off their jackets and put on new clothes to see if they fit.

During this process, Gao Shufang was able to more intuitively observe the male teachers' bodies and whether they had body odor.

Nowadays, due to the inconvenience of using hot water in winter, many people often go without bathing for a long time. If they still have the habit of smoking and drinking, the smell on their bodies will be very obvious.

In addition, men's skin secretes more oil than women. If you don't shower for a long time, your hair will be greasy and your body odor will be strong.

Gao Shufang went to the back to pour tea, while Duo Mei brought out a fruit plate and warmly entertained them to eat.

Song Jinzhang politely grabbed a handful of melon seeds, smiled and thanked the many beauties.

Sure enough, a day like the Spring Festival is very unfriendly to unmarried men and women, and it is also unfriendly to newlyweds who are married and have no children, because the former will be urged to get married, while the latter will be urged to give birth.

But although Song Jinzhang was young, he was not ignorant of the ways of the world.

After the group of people left, Gao Shufang sighed heavily.

Song Jinzhang's face turned gloomy when he mentioned that incident. The reason why he came to express his gratitude to Gao Mingcheng now is because she was seriously injured before. She is a little girl who loves to be beautiful, so naturally she has to wait for the wound on her face to heal. Only then was he willing to go out.

It's just that Song Jinzhang was bold enough to dare to buy goods alone. However, her resistance was of no use and she was beaten severely.

He Aihua reacted belatedly and immediately apologized a little embarrassedly, but his voice was vague, as if there was still some phlegm in his throat that he had not spit out.

Gao Shufang stood aside and watched. She observed very vaguely, but she observed all the points that should be observed.

However, after Fan Chengyao reported the news to him, he only notified Xiao Jinfeng and asked Song Jinzhang's family to pick him up instead of going there in person. Therefore, in his opinion, Song Jinzhang had no need to thank him.

The profession of teacher has a good social status and also represents rich knowledge. However, teachers are also human beings, and they have various problems.

Gao Mingcheng quickly recognized Song Jinzhang, and said, "As long as you're fine. I didn't help you with what happened last time. There's no need to thank me."

Gao Shufang has an advantage that others don't have, and she is much more comfortable. If it is a serious blind date, then after seeing each other, she will have to give an answer. How can she think about it again?

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Song Jinzhang's mind. She carried the gift and continued walking towards the clothing store.

While they were talking, they didn't notice that there was a brother and sister standing not far from the clothing store.

She didn't want Gao Mingcheng to misunderstand and think that she deliberately brought people of low quality to Gao Shufang.

Li Fei also had a bit of embarrassment on her face. She was straightforward and said directly: "He Aihua! How can you spit everywhere?"

The matter was simple. She went to Yangcheng alone to buy goods. After revealing her wealth, she was spotted by someone, who then took the opportunity to rob her of her money and goods.

If you come to visit someone with a gift to pay New Year greetings, you are naturally a guest.

Duo Mei immediately stepped forward and asked: "Shufang, how are you? Do you have any favorites? I think the teacher in military green clothes is not bad. He is tall and thin, and his body is clean. He seems to be okay when talking and doing things." .”

Gao Shufang thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "He's okay, but he's not particularly suitable. I'll think about it again!"

Her cousin is Lin Minyong, who works in a fertilizer factory. He is already 22 years old and is getting married. Her aunt has been worrying about her cousin's marriage these days.

Gao Mingcheng only informed Xiao Jinfeng about the last incident, and Xiao Jinfeng informed Song Jinzhang's family, so he didn't know the specific situation of the matter.

Gao Mingcheng nodded to express his understanding.

She said with sincerity on her face: "Then Ma Lin saved me because of Brother Mingcheng's face. If I hadn't followed you to Yangcheng, he wouldn't have known me, so naturally he wouldn't have saved me."

Fortunately, he was rescued by Ma Lin at the critical moment, otherwise it is hard to say whether Song Jinzhang would have survived.

Not long after, most of the male teachers had picked out their clothes. Gao Mingcheng gave them a discount as promised and let them leave happily.

Gao Shufang found that two teachers had a strong smell of cigarette smoke. The ones who were celebrating the New Year had not shaved their beards and looked a bit slovenly.

Hu Yinchen had quick eyesight and quick hands. He immediately took out a few pieces of paper and cleaned up the thick phlegm.

It's not the Lantern Festival yet, so it's still the Chinese New Year, so there is always a fruit plate with melon seeds, peanuts and candies in the store. You can eat as much as you like, or treat customers to you when they come.

Now that Gao Mingcheng asked, she didn't hide anything and told the truth.

Seeing that she was sincerely thanking her, Gao Mingcheng stopped talking and asked Song Jinzhang and his sister to sit down, and asked Gao Shufang to pour tea for the guests.

The last thing Song Jinzhang said might be that she was robbed in Yangcheng a few years ago and was rescued by Fan Chengyao's subordinate Ma Lin.

Seeing him like this, the others were more or less disgusted and didn't want to talk to him anymore. Li Fei walked up to Gao Mingcheng and said, "He didn't act like this before, maybe because he happened to catch a cold. "

"Then think about it carefully. If you like it, let Li Fei make arrangements." Gao Mingcheng said casually. Gao Shufang is only twenty this year. He personally is not in a hurry and plans to take his time.

"Happy New Year, Brother Mingcheng, sister-in-law, I'm here to wish you New Year's greetings! Brother Mingcheng, thank you so much for what happened last time." After Song Jinzhang entered, he greeted people with New Year's greetings gracefully and gave them gifts.

Song Jinzhang held two boxes of gifts in her hands and looked at the group of male teachers who were leaving. She thought for a moment, then looked at her cousin.

Now that Song Jinzhang came to thank him, he could just ask.

It was only during the Chinese New Year that my parents urged me to arrange it.

Another one was even worse, actually spitting in public!

When the mouthful of thick phlegm was spit to the ground, Gao Shufang almost wanted to scream!

This clean and tidy floor was the result of her and Fourth Sister-in-law's hard work in cleaning!

Not to mention Gao Shufang's inner collapse, even Gao Mingcheng was a little unhappy. No one would be happy if someone just spat on the clean floor.

The moment they saw her, Duo Mei, Gao Shufang and others were stunned, with strange faces on their faces.

More importantly, Marin not only sent her to the hospital for treatment, advanced her medical expenses, but also led a group of people to find her goods!

As for the money, those gangsters spent it after grabbing it, but they didn't have time to sell the goods before they could get it back.

Despite this, Song Jinzhang was very grateful.

After listening, Gao Mingcheng said: "You are also brave! How can you go over there to purchase goods alone? You have to find a companion!"

Song Jinzhang smiled sheepishly.

She also wanted to find a companion, but she couldn't find a suitable one for a while. She also wanted to buy a batch of goods before the New Year, so that she could make a lot of money.

It's a pity that on that trip, she lost both her wife and her troops!

Gao Mingcheng asked again: "What are you going to do in the future? Are you going to stop doing business, or do you want to change your business?"

"I still want to do business!" Song Jinzhang said firmly, then looked at his cousin beside him and said to Gao Mingcheng: "This is my cousin. He has a junior high school diploma and is a formal worker in a fertilizer factory. I want him to Resign and come with me to set up a stall and do business."

Hearing his cousin mention him, Lin Minyong smiled at Gao Mingcheng and others, his smile a little honest.

But he is still good-looking, Song Jinzhang is good-looking, and this cousin is not bad, at least he is fair and refreshing. Gao Mingcheng also glanced at Lin Minyong. A formal job in a fertilizer factory sounded pretty good, but if he quit his job to start a business, he could make a lot of money.

When Gao Mingcheng looked at him like that, Lin Minyong said with some embarrassment: "I haven't decided whether to resign yet. But everyone in our family has said that Jin Zhang is not allowed to go out to buy goods alone!"

So unsafe!

Song Jinzhang could only smile helplessly after hearing this.

If her cousin doesn't have a job, as long as she asks her to set up a stall with her, then her cousin will definitely be willing. But if she has a job, not only her cousin will have to think about it, but her uncle and aunt will also have to think about it.

Although Gao Mingcheng feels that doing business is better than earning a dead salary, he will not persuade people to resign.

After all, not everyone is cut out for business.

There is actually nothing wrong with working step by step. Rushing to do something you are not good at or don't like will lead to worse consequences.

The brother and sister Song Jinzhang sat in the store and chatted for about half an hour before she said goodbye.

Gao Mingcheng walked them to the door and watched them leave.

After walking far away, Song Jinzhang suddenly asked: "Cousin, what do you think of Sister Shufang? She's the one who poured us tea."

Lin Minyong thought about it and said with a smile: "It's pretty good. He's pretty, he's quick at work, and he has a refreshing energy."

Song Jinzhang saw that his cousin had a good impression of Gao Shufang, so he said: "She doesn't have a boyfriend yet, and she is on a blind date! Cousin, my aunt is also going on a blind date for you. If you think Sister Shufang is good, why don't I get you a girl?" Line, make an appointment to meet and chat?”

In this winter, the cold wind was howling, but Lin Minyong's face turned red instantly. He said shyly: "My mother hopes that I can find a formal job in the factory."

In other words, life is easier for a dual-income family!

Song Jinzhang rolled his eyes and said decisively: "I will tell my aunt when I get back!"

My aunt wants to find a daughter-in-law who is a regular worker because the woman has a salary, but now she only makes money by doing business!

If her cousin and Gao Shufang were getting along, would she still need to go to Yangcheng to purchase goods alone?

Then he must go with Gao Mingcheng!

For her plan to set up a stall, she had to convince her aunt and then work hard to bring her cousin and Gao Shufang together!

At this time, Gao Shufang didn't know that she was being remembered!

She was listening to Gao Mingcheng talking about Song Jinzhang with Duo Mei. Then she learned that Song Jinzhang's mother had passed away and that after her father remarried, he kicked her out of the house. She immediately felt sympathy for Song Jinzhang.

"How come you have such a father?" Duo Mei frowned, his face full of displeasure.

Although her father passed away early, in her impression, her father was a very good person and was very kind to their sisters, especially her. She was the youngest, and her mother died of illness not long after she was born, so Her father took good care of her, fearing that she would not be able to feed her. When his father was still alive, the delicious food at home was kept as close as possible to her.

"Yes, her father is too bad!" Gao Shufang also denounced.

Gao Mingcheng was quite calm.

It is said that every stepmother has a stepfather. This kind of thing is quite common.

Of course, there are also fathers who refuse to remarry after their wives die and raise their children by themselves.

It can only be said that there are thousands of people with thousands of faces.

Everyone was talking around the brazier when suddenly the lights flashed and then went out.

"Oops, there's a power outage!" Gao Shufang exclaimed and quickly turned off the light switch. This was because she was afraid that when the power came, the voltage would be unstable and the bulb would break easily.

The sudden power outage caused dissatisfaction among many people, but there was nothing we could do about it. The voltage was unstable and the power was insufficient, so power outages were common.

Although it is daytime, because it is cloudy, the indoor light is very average, so when the store is opened, the lights must be turned on. Now that there is a power outage, the store suddenly becomes a lot darker.

Gao Shufang glanced at her watch and said, "It's almost noon. If we don't get a call, we can't use the rice cooker to cook!"

Gao Mingcheng advised her not to expect a call. Unlike later generations, even if there was a power outage, the problem could be solved within an hour and the power restored.

Now, being able to restore the power supply tonight is already a blessing among misfortunes!

Duo Mei said with a good attitude: "Then let's eat firewood rice. I haven't had firewood rice for a long time and I really miss the rice dumplings!"

This was all we could do. Seeing that it was almost noon, Gao Shufang simply prepared to cook, and did not let her work alone. Zhang Jinling and Hu Yinchen would help cook together, which would be much faster. As for Duomei, Xiaoxu Xu has been pestering her.

Just after lunch, Huang Dazhi hurried to the door.

"Mingcheng, let me tell you something."

When Gao Mingcheng saw the smile on Huang Dazhi's face, he knew it was not a bad thing, so he just asked Huang Dazhi to say it directly.

Huang Dazhi chuckled, and then glanced at Gao Shufang.

This made Gao Shufang confused. Just when she was wondering, she heard Huang Dazhi say: "The Gao Bureau asked me to send you a message, saying that there is a new person in the bureau. When the Gao Bureau talked to him, he could It’s interesting, just ask the high-level bureau to act as a matchmaker for him, saying that he is old enough and wants to get a wife!”

"Now, this is that person's information. The director asked me to bring it over for you to see. If you like it, we will arrange a meeting."

With that said, Huang Dazhi handed a piece of paper to Gao Mingcheng.

The personal information at this time is quite simple. It briefly introduces the person's name, age and family, and then focuses on the person's height, appearance and origin.

It turns out that the new man at the police station is a veteran. The reason why he retired was not because of his age or lack of ability, but because during a mission, he was injured in order to complete the mission, but it was not serious, just his left hand. I couldn't exert myself, so even if I got third-class merit, I couldn't stay in the army and had to change my job.

And in addition to being an official police officer, that person also has a bonus!

However, both of his parents died, and he grew up with his grandparents, but in the past few years, his grandparents passed away one after another.

It was also for this reason that after joining the company, he directly called Gao Guobing to help him match-match.

Huang Dazhi continued: "The High Bureau wants you to think about it slowly. You can give me a message in a few days."

After passing on the words from the higher-ups, Huang Dazhi spoke of his own thoughts: "I met that new colleague, and I think he is quite nice. Can we meet him first, and we will know after getting along with him whether he is a good fit or not." .”

What Huang Dazhi said made sense, but Gao Shufang had to make the decision, so Gao Mingcheng looked at Gao Shufang.

Gao Shufang had already read that person's information and was quite satisfied.

These days, what little girl doesn’t love Brother Bing?

"Second brother..." Gao Shufang raised her eyes and looked at Gao Mingcheng, her face full of shyness and excitement.

Come on, Gao Mingcheng understood, and immediately said to Huang Dazhi: "Tell Uncle Guobing that Shufang is willing to meet and chat."

Huang Dazhi nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go back to the police station first. If we hurry, maybe we can meet in the afternoon."

With that said, Huang Dazhi left in a hurry.

Everyone didn't expect that they had just met a few single male teachers in the morning, and this afternoon a soldier brother showed up!

It was also because they didn't know Song Jinzhang's intention, otherwise their mood would be even more complicated.

Because they might have to meet in the afternoon, Gao Shufang, who was nervous, began to comb her hair again, then washed her face and applied cream to dress herself up beautifully.
