Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 6
Now it's finally working!

It will take at least a few months to build the railway, which is enough for everyone to take the opportunity to make some money.

"Did you ask clearly? Are you recruiting for work tomorrow?" Gao Yuanjian asked again with a smile.

"Of course I asked clearly. I can go to work tomorrow. There is not much work in the fields recently. I plan to take my two sons to work on the railway. Brother, what do you think about the arrangement at home? The eldest, second and third children can also Go, only the fourth child is a little younger."

Speaking of the fourth child, Gao Yuanjian said: "School will start in two days, and the fourth child still has to go to school."

"Oh, the fourth child is in the third year of junior high school, right? Are you planning to take the high school entrance exam?" Gao Fanmao was concerned about the study situation of the fourth child Gao Mingli by the way.

The scumbag Gao Mingli smiled a little embarrassedly, and hid aside.

Gao Yuanjian sighed, his family didn't have the seeds of studying, but in order not to be blind, he had to go to school for a few more years. Anyway, the child is young and can't do anything if he stays at home.

Of course, when he thought this way, he completely forgot that his little daughter was even younger, but she no longer studied, but stayed at home to help with housework.

In rural areas, everyone generally favors boys over girls.

Gao Mingcheng's four brothers all went to junior high school, but the youngest sister was not allowed to go to school after finishing elementary school. The reason was that the junior high school was too far away, and it was inconvenient for her to live in the school as a girl.

Girls, just finish elementary school and learn how to read. Anyway, it won't delay doing housework, getting married and having children!

The topic only diverged for a while, and then got back on track.

Gao Yuanjian looked at his sons, and said, "It's rare that a job to make money falls at the door of our house. Tomorrow, the three of you will follow me to work on the railway!"

Gao Yuanjian was used to being the master of the house, so he spoke in an imperative tone.

But elder brother Gao Mingpeng and third younger brother Gao Mingwan didn't object to this, but Gao Mingwan asked, "Dad, shall we keep the wages ourselves?"

The Gao family has not yet separated. The source of income for the family is the millet and agricultural products sold in the fields every year, watermelons in summer, sugar cane in autumn, and some vegetables.

In addition to these, Gao Yuanjian has other ways to make money. Every year in late autumn, when others start to be idle, Gao Yuanjian starts to work.

Because he can steam wine.

In the late autumn, people would invite him to steam wine one after another. In addition to steaming wine, Gao Yuanjian would also take care of weddings and weddings. With these two things, he could earn as little as a thousand yuan and as much as 3000 yuan a year. .

Because of this, Gao Yuanjian was able to support five children, and supported four sons to study in junior high school.

Hearing the third child mention the money, Gao Yuan subconsciously gave him a look, and Gao Mingwan shrank his head immediately.

Gao Yuanjian originally wanted to say that the wages would naturally be handed over to his family, but his wife suddenly bumped his arm and motioned him to see his eldest daughter-in-law Huang Su'e with her eyes.

He saw the expectation in the eldest daughter-in-law's eyes.

After a pause for a few seconds, Gao Yuanjian said: "You eat at home, live at home, which one doesn't cost money? Besides, you are getting older now, and the family has to find a wife for you to start a family. Everything is money. !"

"However, after all, you are too old, and it is inconvenient to have no money in your hands. How about it, you take one of the two yuan and nine wages, and leave the rest to your family."

When he heard the front, Gao Mingwan looked disappointed and thought it was over, but his father let them keep a dollar for themselves!

Gao Mingwan immediately beamed with joy, and even Gao Mingpeng and his eldest daughter-in-law Huang Su'e also smiled.

Gao Mingcheng did not say a word from the beginning to the end. Although he often caused troubles outside and had a rather sloppy personality, he was actually relatively taciturn at home. Because he has always been like this, the family is also used to him being silent, and even ignores his existence. .

Gao Mingcheng knew about the construction of the railway. In his previous life, he also worked on the railway for a few days, but repairing the railway is actually a very tiring job, not to mention that the weather is very hot now, and he is carrying stones under the sun on a hot day , repairing the ground, mixing cement, etc., after a day, people will be exhausted.

In his previous life, he worked on the railway for three days, and then met that group of tomb robbers who went to the mountain to scout, and then mixed with the tomb robbers to rob the tomb. Afterwards, someone came to collect things, but he thought the price was low, so he was cruel. So he took Gao Zhuang to Nanchang to sell it, but when he arrived in Nanchang, he heard that he could sell it at a higher price in Xiangjiang.

This time, his life path is completely different from that of the villagers.

At night, Gao Mingcheng lay in bed unable to fall asleep for a long time.

The Gao family has a large population, but the house is small. Before, he and his elder brother slept in the same room, and the third and fourth younger brothers slept in the small room next to him. But now that the eldest brother is married, he naturally has to move out, so he is reduced to sleeping with the three brothers. A small house.

Except for a cabinet, there is only one widened bed in the whole room.

It was getting late, there was no entertainment in the countryside, and I was reluctant to use electricity and kerosene lamps, so I went to bed very early.

The snoring of the third brother and fourth brother had already started, and he couldn't sleep because of the noise.

He simply got up, originally wanted to go to the yard to enjoy the shade, but after thinking about it, he took out the "Shaolin Kungfu Cheats" from the cabinet.

After his rebirth, he hadn't read the book carefully.

In fact, after a lifetime of experience, he already knew that this book was not a martial arts secret book, it was just a show.

If you want to practice martial arts, you have to be led in by the master.

Every movement, how to exert force and how to train to achieve the effect, all these need to be passed on from master to mouth, and it cannot be learned with just a book.

After he was rich in his previous life, he knew that martial arts must be learned systematically, so he spent a lot of money and hired a master who had won a grand prize in martial arts competitions to teach him.

Relying on the skills he learned, he survived several struggles smoothly.

Thinking of the ups and downs of his previous life, Gao Mingcheng sighed.

The moonlight is like water, although no lamps are lit, but the sky is like washing, and the moonlight can illuminate everything.

But this light is still not enough to support reading.

Gao Mingcheng's house has electricity, but he is reluctant to use it on weekdays. He is only willing to use electricity when using the radio.

He knew the way and found a kerosene lamp.

Most of them use kerosene lamps here, and the kerosene is bought from the cooperative at [-] cents a catty.

After lighting the kerosene lamp, the orange flame flickered slightly in the night wind.

Taking advantage of the light, Gao Mingcheng took out the "Shaolin Kungfu Cheats", and flipped through it full of nostalgia.

After a lifetime, he actually couldn't remember what was in the book. Now that he read it again, it was like reading it for the first time, with a feeling of familiarity and strangeness.

After flipping through everything, he suddenly discovered that this book is actually quite interesting.

In his previous life, he was ignorant and didn't understand the essence of martial arts at all. He relied on instinct to fight. He relied on his good physical fitness, quick eyesight and quick hands, so he was often able to win.

When learning moves from this book, you only learn the moves, but you can't use these moves in real fights.

But now that he has the foundation he learned from martial arts masters in his previous life, when he reads this book again, he will know how to master it well, and how to use moves to subdue the enemy.

"Hey, this book is worth buying!" Gao Mingcheng smiled, a little excited.
