Chapter 264 Want to See the World
Gao Mingcheng had dinner in the police station cafeteria. After dinner, he went to find Gao Mingli.
Gao Mingli had already finished get off work and was cooking noodles in the house he rented. He had a small coal-burning stove with a small pot on it. The noodles in the pot were almost cooked and were steaming.
Gao Mingcheng looked down and couldn't help but sigh, "You're just going to eat this? Why don't you just beat an egg?"
The dinner in Gaomingli is just noodles boiled in plain water, without even much oil.
Gao Mingli laughed dryly and called out, "Second brother."
Because the noodles were already cooked, he took the pot away from the stove and placed it on a piece of corrugated paper. Then he placed a kettle on the stove and let the remaining fire continue to boil the water.
During this gap, Gao Mingcheng saw that what was burning in the stove was not coal briquettes, but charcoal.
It turned out that Gao Mingli only cooked one meal a day, and most of the time it was noodles, so he didn't burn coal briquettes, but charcoal. And the charcoal was not bought, but the leftovers from burning in the earthen stove in the countryside.
Next to the stove, there were some chopped small firewood piled up for kindling. In addition to the small firewood, there were also a dozen or twenty coal balls. When there was a lot of fire, it was definitely more convenient to burn coal balls.
"Second brother, have you eaten?" Gao Mingli asked. If the second brother hadn't eaten, he would take the bowl and chopsticks and share some with the second brother.
Gao Mingcheng said naturally: "I have eaten, you just eat by yourself."
So Gao Mingli didn't hesitate. He took out a can of pickles, put some into the pot with chopsticks, and then ate it directly from the pot without even using a bowl.
As for the reason for doing this, most men know it - they are too lazy to wash the dishes!
After Gao Mingli finished eating the noodles, Gao Mingcheng explained his purpose.
He did not ask Gao Mingli to quit his job at the sugar factory right away. Instead, he asked, "How are you doing at the sugar factory? Is Li Wenwu still giving you trouble?"
Speaking of Li Wenwu, Gao Mingli smiled. Last time, with the help of his second brother, he beat Li Wenwu up, which was considered revenge.
He said: "I am fine now. Li Wenwu has not bothered me anymore. At first he came to me and asked if I had hit him, but I denied it."
Gao Mingcheng nodded and said, "No need to admit it."
There was no surveillance and no evidence, so they just beat him up.
Of course, if the other party insists on biting Gao Mingli and insists on taking revenge, then there is no need for evidence, because there is a saying called free conviction.
But fortunately, Gao Mingli had someone behind him, and the other party was afraid of taking any risks, so he finally decided to let it go.
Although Gao Mingli is doing well at the sugar factory now, Gao Mingcheng still mentioned the new option.
He said, "Mingli, do you want to be a driver like your third brother? You should know that although working in a factory is stable, the money is not much. Look at your third brother. He has at least a few hundred yuan on him now."
"I didn't ask you to go before because the transportation company didn't have time to train new people and only wanted experienced drivers. But now it's different. Until the end of the year, I will help out at the transportation company, and I can take you with me during this time."
When Gao Guobing suggested that Gao Mingli go to the transport company, Gao Mingcheng also thought it was a good idea. After all, working in a factory is like living paycheck to paycheck. Even if you save money, you won't make much money in a year.
Of course, if you get a permanent job in Gaomingli later, the salary will be a little more.
But this salary is not as good as being a driver.
Drivers have high salaries and some extra income, such as picking up passengers along the way and getting a fare, or taking the opportunity to purchase goods for themselves and making a profit from buying and selling, or helping others carry goods and earning a commission, etc.
As soon as Gao Mingcheng said this, Gao Mingli was really moved, but also a little hesitant.
He said: "Third brother said... being a driver is also very hard, you have to drive all the time, and you will encounter some dangers."
"The greater the risk, the greater the profit! There's nothing you can do about it. If you really want to be a driver, you need to keep your body in good shape." Gao Mingcheng said pertinently.
The roads are not safe now, but it’s actually not that bad. After all, it’s already 1987. Soon the country will vigorously build expressways and repair national highways, and the road surface will become easier and easier to drive on.
In addition, public security will get better and better, and the car bandits and highway bullies that once made people shudder will gradually disappear.
As more and more areas are covered by surveillance, the safety of drivers will be better guaranteed.
"Well, there's no rush about this. You can think about it slowly, or you can have a good talk with your third brother. Besides, when your third brother is fully experienced, you can let him take you with him then." Gao Mingcheng said. He just proposed a new life choice to Gao Mingli, not asking Gao Mingli to make a decision immediately.
Working in a factory is stable and not too tiring.
But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, there is not much money.
Even if you work step by step in Gaomingli, it will take some time before you can be hired as a regular employee, and it will take several years before you can be qualified as a sugar-making master.
"Well, I'll think about it carefully." Gao Mingli felt quite relaxed, and was quite happy in his heart because he knew he had a way out.
He knew that Gao Mingcheng already worked in a transportation company, so he asked with interest: "Second brother, how do you feel about working in a transportation company?"
He asked his third brother about this question, and his third brother said that it was actually quite tiring, as his nerves were always tense, and his body was sore after driving.
But Gao Mingcheng said in a relaxed tone: "It's OK, as long as you know how to drive and pay attention to the road conditions, you'll be fine. Just don't drive for too long at a time, otherwise you'll feel tired and your body will become stiff and uncomfortable. You should stop appropriately to rest your eyes and stretch your body."
Because Gao Mingcheng has good physical fitness and has just started racing, these feelings are not actually obvious.
If you keep working as a long-distance driver, you will develop occupational diseases after a long time.
You know, prostatitis is more common among long-distance drivers.
Gao Mingcheng told Gao Mingli about what he saw and heard on the road, and then laughed and said, "I only made two trips, there's nothing interesting. I'll ask your third brother to tell you next time."
Listening to Gao Mingcheng's story, Gao Mingli began to develop an ambition.
He wanted to see the world.
When he first came to the county town, he felt that it was very prosperous and lively, and completely different from Gaojia Village. Therefore, he was a little timid, a little inferior, but also a little excited, and he longed to stay here for a long time.
To do this, he can pay some price, for example, when Li Wenwu suppressed him, he endured it.
Because he didn't want to lose the opportunity to stay in the county, didn't want to go back to Gaojia Village, and didn't want to live that kind of life facing the earth and back to the sky.
He saw another side of life and was eager to improve his life and integrate into the prosperity.
But now, after talking with his second brother, he suddenly realized that he was still a frog in a well, and the world he saw was still not big.
What does the world outside look like?
