Chapter 439 Money is a Bastard
There were quite a lot of things on the list. In addition to some books, Gao Mingcheng was also required to purchase some musical instruments, such as piano, flute, guitar, etc.
In addition, he was also asked to subscribe to some newspapers and magazines, including "Children's Pictorial", "Fairy Tale King", "We Love Science", "China Youth Daily", "Children's Literature", etc.
Except for some more famous ones, Gao Mingcheng didn't know many of the books and magazines on the list.
In his previous life, he was trapped in a remote village for the first half of his life, and during his youth and middle age he struggled in the world and had no chance to come into contact with these things.
After reading it, Gao Mingcheng said, "Okay, I will prepare all these things before the training."
Li Fei smiled and said, "Recently, I have read a lot of books and asked a lot of people. I have developed some teaching plans for kindergartens and made some handicrafts. I will bring them over when the time comes."
Li Fei did not stay here for long. After leaving the list, she said goodbye and left.
The list was just a thin piece of paper, but Gao Mingcheng had to work hard for it. He had already bought some books when he was in Yangcheng before, and now he had to purchase the ones that were not on the list.
Some can be bought at county bookstores, while others have to be ordered through the post office.
As for musical instruments such as pianos, they are not sold in this county and one has to go to the provincial capital or big cities like Guangzhou to buy them.
Li Fei is good at playing the piano, so she decided to teach the kindergarten teachers a few simple songs. When the time comes, she can arrange the children to sing in chorus or provide dance accompaniment for the children.
As for guitar, this is something one of her colleagues is good at. Ever since watching the movie "Guitar Band", this colleague has become obsessed with guitar. Through self-study and apprenticeship, he has become very good at playing the guitar. This time, Li Fei invited him to train kindergarten teachers, and he did not forget to promote the guitar.
Gao Mingcheng didn't quite understand this, but if someone was willing to teach him, he would definitely not refuse.
At night, Gao Mingcheng and Xuanyue discussed going to the provincial capital to buy musical instruments.
Many Americans are excited to know that kindergarten teacher training will teach them to sing, dance, play musical instruments, paint and do handicrafts, etc.
Her eyes sparkled slightly, and she said expectantly, "Ming Cheng, I want to learn these too!"
Because her family was poor when she was a child, she only studied until the third grade. Later, she dropped out of school to take care of housework and farm work. It was not until she married Gao Mingcheng that she picked up books and began to learn to read, do arithmetic and do accounting again.
But she has always been interested in these literary and artistic things, but she has never had the opportunity to come into contact with and learn them.
Now that there was such a good opportunity in front of her, she was immediately attracted.
"Okay! You can go and learn too!" Gao Mingcheng had originally planned to arrange for Xuanyuemei to learn. With him and Hu Yinchen taking care of the child, Xuanyuemei could take this opportunity to get in touch with the arts and literature that she loves.
After getting Gao Mingcheng's support, Xuanyuemei seemed particularly excited.
Gao Mingcheng smiled and went to prepare the cash.
The piano is considered a valuable musical instrument. A cheap piano can cost one or two thousand yuan, while an expensive one can cost several thousand yuan.
Like color TVs, pianos are cheap if made domestically, expensive if imported. German ones are the most expensive, and domestically made ones are relatively cheaper.
So, maybe this time Gao Mingcheng will have to support Xiao Zi's family's trade again.
Just in case, Gao Mingcheng prepared more than 6,000 yuan in cash on him.
When counting the money, even though he was always a big spender, he felt a little distressed.
Last year, he was lucky enough to go to Hong Kong for smuggling twice, and he also sold Huang Dazhi's jade and got half of the money, so he made a lot of money. He also robbed some gold bars and sold a batch of medicinal herbs and honey to Fan Chengyao, but this year...
It seems like there is nothing more to do than spending money!
The only place that can bring in money is this clothing store!
For a moment, Gao Mingcheng wondered if he had taken too big a step and ended up hurting his balls?
Thinking back carefully, I feel that the money should have been spent.
Forget it, forget it, that’s how business works, you have to invest first before you can get a return!
Gao Mingcheng had just comforted himself and was planning to spend the money with a clear conscience, but Xuanyuemei also took a look at the family account book and was dumbfounded.
"Ming Cheng, after you took away the money, there are only more than a thousand yuan left in the house?" Xuan Mei's voice became much sharper because of shock.
Seeing that many beauties were staring at the money in their hands, Gao Mingcheng carefully covered it with his hands and explained, "You can't buy a piano that's too cheap, otherwise the sound won't be good."
He doesn't know how to play the piano, but he often hears that the piano needs to be tuned.
In short, you get what you pay for. This principle is true throughout history, both in China and abroad.
"Money is a bastard, just spend it and earn more!"
Gao Mingcheng comforted many beauties with a guilty conscience.
Xu Xuanmei raised her eyebrows and quickly calculated the bill for him: "The village has to pay three people, and the county has to take care of the food, drink, and toilet of the whole family. You asked Li Fei and others to come for training, so you can't not pay them! The new house has been decorated, but the furniture has not been bought yet! All the furniture together will cost a lot of money!"
“After the kindergarten is built, we still have to decorate it and buy furniture!”
"No, no! I didn't keep track of your accounts before and let you spend whatever you wanted. Who knew you couldn't even save any money!" Xuanyuemei suddenly became very panicked when she saw that there was only a little money left at home.
Gao Mingcheng was not opposed to letting Xuanyuemei take charge of the accounts. Instead, he spread his hands and said, "Then you do the math and see which money can be saved?"
Xuanyi glared at him and lowered her head to count the accounts.
After much calculation, I found that most of the money was well-spent.
But she still found an excuse and said, "Let's not talk about buying land and building a house, but the camera you bought is too expensive! And now you want to buy such an expensive piano!
Gao Mingcheng touched his nose and said, "The camera is already cheaper than the market price."
Thanks to Fan Chengyao, he got a really good deal by buying this camera.
Many beauties glared at him and said, "Then don't go to the provincial capital to buy your piano. Just go to Guangzhou to buy it!"
She thought that Gao Mingcheng had connections in Yangcheng and might be able to get the goods at a cheaper price.
Gao Mingcheng originally wanted to go to the provincial capital to buy it for convenience, but now he didn't dare to anger many beauties, so he agreed obediently.
"Then I'll call Brother Xiao tomorrow and ask him to arrange a trip to Yangcheng for me."
Seeing Xuanmei's expression eased, Gao Mingcheng said again: "Don't worry about the money. In the fall, you can sell eggs. There are many oranges this year, so we can sell some of them then."
"From now until late autumn, we can shake honey several times, at least a thousand kilograms, which is also an income. We can also make some money at the medicine trade fair in October."
"After the kindergarten starts recruiting students next year, the money invested in the kindergarten will be returned little by little. Besides, the clothing store has been making money. Duomei, our lives will always get better and better."
As Gao Mingcheng spoke, he hugged Manyimei. His warm hug and hopeful words soothed Manyimei's inner anxiety.
Xuanmei snorted twice, but did not mention anything about taking care of Gao Mingcheng's account.
Gao Mingcheng knew that he had appeased his wife, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh, money is something that we never have enough to spend!
No, he had to find a way to get some money.
By the way, he needs to call Fan Licheng and ask him if he is going to his mother's home in Hong Kong this year. Maybe he can take the opportunity to do some smuggling.
The greater the risk, the more money he can make. As long as there is a chance, he will do it!
