Chapter 430: Pretty obedient
The next morning, Gao Mingcheng called Xiao Jinfeng and agreed to borrow the car on the holiday.
Xiao Jinfeng naturally agreed immediately.
After breakfast, Gao Mingcheng went to the kindergarten construction site to see if Zhou Le had come to work.
Then I saw Zhou Le building a wall there.
When the contractor in charge of the construction site saw Gao Mingcheng coming, he immediately told him about Zhou Le.
Gao Mingcheng nodded in affirmation: "I called him here, and he will work with you from now on."
"Okay." After confirming that everything was correct, the contractor went to work.
While checking the progress of the construction site, Gao Mingcheng came to Zhou Le and observed his condition.
When Zhou Le saw him coming, he immediately grinned at him, but this smile exposed all his shortcomings.
His eyes are not big to begin with, they are rather squinty, and his teeth are bucktoothed. When he smiles, his eyes become even more squinty and his teeth stick out, which is actually not very good-looking.
Gao Mingcheng had seen Zhou Le several times in his previous life. During those times, Zhou Le always had a stern face and looked at people coldly with his eyes, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to bite people.
Although he has a fierce face, he also looks a bit cool, so he is quite popular among women in certain places.
The morning sun shines on the earth, giving everything a golden glow.
The construction site was dusty and all the workers were covered in dust, but since it was morning and work had just started, some people were still relatively decent.
Some people don't like cleanliness and don't pay attention to hygiene, so naturally there are also people who like cleanliness and pay attention to hygiene.
Gao Mingcheng noticed that Zhou Le was still wearing yesterday's clothes, and the pair of Liberation shoes on his feet had several holes in them, revealing his big toe.
The hair is also dirty and full of grease.
To be honest, this look is really not pleasing to women.
"Boss Gao, thank you for letting me work here." Zhou Le thanked him with a smile.
"You're welcome. You make a living by your cooking skills. Um... didn't you take a shower and change clothes when you went home last night? The weather is getting hot now, and your hair is a mess. It's time to get a haircut." Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but expressed his opinion.
He felt that if Zhou Le wanted to have a different destiny, he had to start by changing himself.
You should be clean and hygienic, and make sure you have good clothes and good food. If you just work like a workhorse for others and work yourself to death, the sunk costs will be too great and you will easily go to extremes.
Zhou Le touched his hair awkwardly. There was a lot of dust on his hands, and this touch made his hair even dirtier!
When Gao Mingcheng saw this scene, the corners of his eyes twitched.
He pointed at a man at the construction site and said, "Look at him. He works at the same construction site, but he is much cleaner than you! Just listen to me. After you finish your work this evening, go to the barber shop to get a haircut, and then come to my shop to buy some clothes. I'll give you a discount!"
Zhou Le first thanked him with gratitude on his face, but then he felt a little bitter in his heart.
He subconsciously touched his trouser pocket and found only a few cents in it.
Every time he finished his work, he gave the money to his wife to save, so he didn't have much money on hand.
He lowered his head in embarrassment and saw his trousers that had turned white from being washed so hard and his shoes with holes in them. Suddenly, he remembered the new black shorts.
Zhou Le exerted force on the hand holding the trowel, and veins bulged.
But after just a moment, he looked up, showed an honest smile, and said: "Hey, Boss Gao is a man of insight, I will listen to you."
Gao Mingcheng was very happy to see that he listened to the advice.
He wandered around the kindergarten construction site and then went to the new house.
Huang Dazhi said yesterday that the house here is almost completed.
So he came over to check it out.
When Gao Mingcheng was building the clothing store, he was short of money, so the land he bought was not large and the house he built was simple.
But he planned to live in this new house for decades, so he bought a larger piece of land and built a better house.
The gate to the yard has been installed. It is a carved iron gate that looks very grand. Open the iron gate and you will enter the yard.
The yard was not completely paved with hardened cement, but was planned with space reserved for planting trees and flowers, and a flower bed was also created.
Gao Mingcheng doesn't plan to use this yard to grow vegetables.
Fertilizer is needed to grow vegetables, otherwise the vegetables will not grow well. Once fertilizer is applied, it is inevitable that there will be odor.
Besides, he has a mountain and a large piece of land in Gaojia Village. Isn’t that enough for him to grow vegetables?
So he tried to make the yard here more interesting for his daily life.
Stepping on the concrete floor, Gao Mingcheng felt that it was a bit imperfect and it would be more beautiful if it was paved with terrazzo.
After climbing two steps, you will arrive under the eaves. The main entrance is an even more beautiful iron door, and the inside and outside of the door are paved with tiles.
Since there is no furniture yet, the entire living room and dining room look very spacious.
Gao Mingcheng's eyes swept across every place, checking the progress of the decoration and whether there were any problems.
After checking each floor one by one, he found that there were no doors installed on the third floor.
At this moment, he heard the sound of someone coming in. It turned out that it was a decorator carrying a few doors.
When the two sides met, there were naturally some polite greetings. Gao Mingcheng checked the quality of the door and watched them install it.
The person in charge of the renovation said, "Boss Gao, everything has been installed. Do you think there is anything missing?"
Gao Mingcheng said, "It's basically all right, but the yard needs to be paved with terrazzo, so it looks better. You guys measure the yard later and buy enough terrazzo for the construction. I'll give you the balance when the project is finished."
"OK!"
After the matter was settled, Gao Mingcheng left.
When he returned to the clothing store, he washed his face and hands before hugging his son.
In his previous life, he rarely hugged his two sons. He always felt that in the blink of an eye, his sons had grown up and were no longer close to him.
Now he wants to make up for this regret. Unless he really has no time, he must hold little Xuxu in his arms every day.
While Gao Mingcheng's family and Meimei were having lunch, the workers on the construction site also dispersed. Those who lived in the county went back to their homes to eat, while those who lived farther away would go to find some cheap restaurants to eat.
Zhou Le’s home was only about 800 meters away from the construction site, which was considered close, so he went home to eat.
But when he returned home, no one was there. After asking the neighbors, he found out that his wife had taken their son back to her parents' home.
The smile on Zhou Le’s face disappeared and he walked into the house with a gloomy face.
He stood at the door motionless. After a few minutes, he entered the house and began to rummage through the drawers.
He kept all his money for his wife, but the house was so small that he probably knew where the money was. After some searching, he finally found where he had kept the money.
He poured all the money in the small wooden box onto the bed and began to count it.
This amount of money seems like a lot, but they are all small-denomination bills, totaling only more than 30 yuan, which should be the change for daily use.
Zhou Le continued to look, but he didn't find any more money.
His face darkened, and after thinking for a while, he went to his son's room.
After another round of searching, I finally found a passbook.
This passbook belongs to a credit union, and he is the account holder. He opened the account before he got married, and after they got married, he gave it to his wife to keep.
He quickly opened the passbook and found the latest line of words.
There are only two hundred and sixty yuan in total, and no money has been deposited in it for a long time.
Zhou Le calculated in his mind the money he had earned in the past few years, as well as some of the expenses at home. According to his calculations, there was at least one thousand yuan at home!
Even though he was wearing shabby clothes, he earned quite a bit. It's just that he gave all his money to his wife, and his wife didn't buy him many clothes.
Zhou Le put the passbook into his trouser pocket and continued to search, but this time he didn't find a dime.
He looked at the cold pot and stove. He had encountered this situation before, but at that time, he just cooked a bowl of plain noodles to fill his stomach.
But today, instead of cooking for himself, he decided to eat at a restaurant.
When he got off work in the evening, he went to a barber shop and had his hair shaved, which he then washed with soapy water.
After shaving my hair, I feel my head is much lighter and I feel refreshed.
Zhou Le looked at himself in the mirror and finally felt better.
Next, he went to the clothing store opened by Gao Mingcheng.
When I walked in, I saw the beautiful crystal chandelier in the store and couldn't help but stop and take a few more glances.
"Hey, Zhou Le is here! Come in quickly!" Gao Mingcheng saw him and greeted him warmly.
When he saw that Zhou Le had shaved his hair, washed his face, and looked much more energetic, he felt that he was quite receptive to advice.
It’s better to listen to advice!
"Come, these clothes are suitable for you. They are made of local coarse cloth and are sturdy and durable!" Gao Mingcheng didn't waste any words and directly took Zhou Le to the cheaper clothes.
These clothes are the store's main draws, and they all come from Gao Shouwang's clothing workshop.
Zhou Le had very little experience in buying clothes and had no idea how to choose. His mind was dizzy and he only knew that it was right to listen to Boss Gao.
Finally, he bought three clothes and three pairs of trousers.
After calculating the bill again, he found that Boss Gao had indeed given him a good deal, so he smiled gratefully at Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng looked at Zhou Le, who was dressed in new clothes, and continued, "I don't have shorts and shoes for sale in my store. You can go to another store to buy them later. Here, you are dressed in new clothes inside and out. You look at least five years younger!"
Zhou Le was very happy to hear this compliment.
After leaving the clothing store, he followed the advice and went to buy pants and shoes.
He had found time to withdraw the money from his passbook in the afternoon, otherwise he would have no money to buy these things.
He was carrying a bunch of things and walking briskly.
When he returned to the door of his house, he heard his wife crying and cursing, as if she was scolding a thief for coming in and stealing things.
Zhou Le was silent for a few seconds, then he remembered that he forgot to put things back where they belonged after he had looked through them.
