Chapter 127: Village Gossip

Su Tong left, riding away on his Changzheng brand bicycle.

When he came, he was nervous, and when he left, he felt relaxed.

Gao Mingcheng and Xuanyuemei stood at the door, watching Su Tong's leaving.

But many beauties soon shifted their gaze to Gao Mingcheng, their eyes full of admiration.

Such Gao Mingcheng was strange and charming in her eyes.

She thought that she and Gao Mingcheng had known each other since childhood and were very familiar with each other, but at this moment, she realized that there were many things about Gao Mingcheng that she did not know.

For example, Gao Mingcheng can box, and Gao Mingcheng can have a lively conversation with factory owners.

How many things are there that she doesn't know?

At this moment, many beauties were full of desire to explore Gao Mingcheng.

That night, many beauties were exceptionally gentle and obedient, which brought Gao Mingcheng great pleasure.

Sure enough, showing off in front of others has great benefits! Thanks to Su Tong's arrival, he let his wife know that he is also so dazzling!

At this time, Su Tong had come out of his confusion and chose the path he was about to take.

His factory had originally just announced a suspension of production, but now it declared bankruptcy and all employees were laid off. However, following Gao Mingcheng's advice, he kept the factory, and he used all his own money to compensate for the losses.

From the beginning of its business to now, Sutong has nothing left except a factory.

Originally, his father used his connections to get him a job in a state-owned enterprise, but Su Tong disagreed because he wanted to go south to make his own way!

Thinking that he might go to Shenyang to discuss a joint venture with Shuangxi, Su Tong had specially asked Gao Mingcheng to accompany him in case anything happened to the huge amount of money he carried with him. But now he had nothing in his hands, so he didn't need Gao Mingcheng to accompany him anymore. After packing his bags, he boarded a train heading south, and from then on he stepped into the vortex of an even more prosperous era.

His story may not shine until much later.

As we enter April, the weather gradually becomes warmer, the crops in the fields are growing vigorously, and the new green color brings joy to people's hearts.

Various vegetable seeds sown in the ground also broke through the soil one after another, showing the new life's desire for sunlight and striving to pursue the sunlight.

Grandma came over and told Gao Mingcheng that the sweet potatoes in the field were ready for transplanting, and asked Gao Mingcheng to get ready.

After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng followed Xi Nainai to take a look at the field. Xi Nainai had started raising seedlings a long time ago and covered them with straw to keep them warm. Now that the weather was good, the sweet potato vines were emerging from the straw and were growing luxuriantly.

Sweet potatoes can be propagated by cuttings, and the time for cuttings is around April, depending on the early or late seedling raising and the local climate at that time.

"Grandma, we need to add some pig manure fertilizer, so that it can grow better." Gao Mingcheng said, because he would be given some sweet potato seedlings this year, so Gao Mingcheng was worried that there would not be enough seedlings.

Grandma Xi said with a smile: "We need to shower. Let's call Gao Zhuang to shower today."

Gao Mingcheng immediately said, "I'll do the watering! Let's go and pick up the pig manure fertilizer!"

Grandma gave the sweet potato seedlings to Gao Mingcheng but refused to charge him for them, so naturally he had to help with more farm work.

The tall and strong one is not very strong, and the thin grandmother is getting older and can no longer do heavy physical work.

So that morning, Gao Mingcheng sprinkled pig manure fertilizer on his grandmother's land. In this way, after about ten days, on a rainy day, he could start transplanting sweet potato seedlings.

When picking pig manure, Xi Nainai asked Gao Mingcheng why he didn't buy piglets to raise. Gao Mingcheng said that he didn't want to raise pigs and planned to raise cattle, but he couldn't find a suitable calf to buy at the moment.

Some people specialize in raising sows and selling their piglets, but there are fewer people who raise cows and sell their calves, so you have to look for them before you can buy a suitable one.

After hearing this, Xi Niangniang said that she would help Gao Mingcheng find out.

But because Gao Mingcheng didn't raise pigs, his grandmother was worried that he didn't have enough fertilizer in his fields, so she said, "Why don't you buy some urea fertilizer? Otherwise, without fertilizer, the crops won't grow well."

Gao Mingcheng nodded. He planned to buy some fertilizer this year, and then use it with the chicken manure, human feces, and wood ash at home. It should be enough.

Only after raising cattle will there be enough manure.

Vegetables grown with manure taste much better than those grown with chemical fertilizers.

Gao Mingcheng returned home smelling bad. Xuanmei came up to him without any disgust and shared a big gossip with him.

"Ming Cheng, do you know? Gao Lefei from the village eloped with someone!"

Eloping, no matter when it happened, would always be explosive news. Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but ask what was going on.

Many of the beautiful people immediately spoke out the latest gossip they heard from the village.

It turned out that Gao Lefei fell in love with a railway worker on the Junling Railway. No one knew how long they had been secretly in love. Recently, the nearby railway has been completed, and the temporary workers in the village have returned home and are busy with their own spring farming work.

However, at this moment, Gao Lefei suddenly disappeared.

Gao Lefei's parents even went to the Junling Railway to look for him, but they didn't find him.

The railway worker was not a local but from Fujian. He is no longer on the railway. It would be difficult to find him if we didn't know his address.

So, Gao Lefei's parents started cursing in the village, saying that their daughter was an ungrateful person and that they had raised her in vain.

But Xuanmei is very good at listening to gossip. She said to Gao Mingcheng, "In fact, Le Fei had already told her parents about this, but her parents did not agree with her marrying far away. During the Chinese New Year, they even found a matchmaker to find Le Fei. Le Fei also met several men, but they all said that she didn't like him. Who would have thought that he would run away now!"

"Le Fei is so brave! But after she ran away, other girls in the village were kept under tighter watch by their parents. They even said they were not allowed to go to Junling."

After listening to many of Mei's gossips, Gao Mingcheng tried hard to dig out relevant information from his memories of his past life.

He remembered this incident, and also remembered that in later life, he had heard people talking about Gao Lefei. She did elope, but three years later, she came back with her husband and children, and also brought her parents to Fujian to live for a while.

Later, Douyin became very popular, and she also live-streamed her activities of fishing at the sea on Douyin. She wore clothes commonly worn by local fishermen, and skillfully dug clams, picked up cat's-eye snails and small crabs, and gained a number of fans.

Overall, life is pretty good.

The man's family lived by the sea, and he later bought a boat to go fishing, making a lot of money. Gao Lefei also became the envy of the girls in the village.

After knowing that the consequences of this incident were not bad, Gao Mingcheng forgot about the gossip.

"Duomei, the weather has been good recently, and tomorrow is the market day in the county. I'll take you to the county for a stroll. Think about what you want to buy in advance." Gao Mingcheng's words pulled Duomei out of the gossip.

Many beauties' eyes sparkled and they immediately said, "Okay, I've already thought about it. I was afraid I'd forget it, so I wrote it down on paper!"

"Oh, I haven't checked your homework for a long time. Practice two pages of calligraphy for me today. Also, let's go to the bookstore tomorrow and buy you some suitable books and pens." Gao Mingcheng is very concerned about many things related to art and learning, but there is never enough time.

Usually, Xuanmei was busy with housework and farm work, and also had to go to Dong Feixia to learn how to tailor clothes from her, so her reading and writing were unknowingly delayed.

When Gao Mingcheng mentioned this, Xuanyue immediately felt guilty.

She obediently took out paper and pen, and copied down a Chinese text stroke by stroke like an obedient primary school student.

Gao Mingcheng stood beside her and watched with satisfaction.

Compared with before, many of Mei's characters have improved, at least they are not missing any limbs. In addition, many of Mei also recognize more characters and can read a martial arts novel without any obstacles.

Many artists even copied down some of the passages, and Gao Mingcheng certainly encouraged them!
