The next morning, the Chen Duofu brothers got up early and put on their best clothes.
They cared more about this outing than the previous notification to take photos.
Chen Dasong and Aunt Liu and her husband also got up early. They were as excited as their two sons.
Chen Dasong took out fifty yuan and handed it to Chen Duofu, saying to the two brothers, "Poor family, rich road, take this money, if you want to buy something outside, or have lunch, use this money. You have already troubled Mingcheng, it is not good to spend his money again."
Chen Duofu did not take the fifty yuan, but said, "Dad, I have my own money."
Chen Duofu also had a salary, but he did not hand it over because Chen Dasong and his wife wanted him to save money to marry a wife.
Chen Dasong, however, insisted that he accept it, and said seriously: "Your money is your money, and what I give is what I give! You take this money, and if you don't spend it, you can return it to me when you come back."
Since his father said so, Chen Duofu had no choice but to accept it.
Shortly after breakfast, Gao Mingcheng's jeep passed by the small hill and stopped.
"Good luck and happiness!" Gao Mingcheng stuck his head out of the car window and shouted towards Chen Dasong's house.
"Hey, right here!" The two brothers hurried to the roadside and got into the car with clumsy movements.
Gao Mingcheng and Fan Licheng sat in the front, and their brothers sat in the back. The two brothers had never ridden a tractor in their lives, and this was their first time sitting in a jeep, and they felt everything was new and novel.
Many people were sitting at the door of their house, witnessing this scene, and couldn't help but say sourly: "The people in their family are really good at taking advantage!"
Unfortunately, Zhang Chengyuan is used to being silent, and her son Xiao Shitou is still young and doesn't know how to talk to her about these things.
Many people just made a sour remark, watched the jeep leave, and then started their own day's work.
For people in the country, there is no complete idle time during the farming season. As long as you are willing to work, there is work to do every day.
The jeep drove out of the closed mountain village at a very fast speed, all the way to the national highway, then headed towards Yingtan, and then towards Jingdezhen.
For Gao Mingcheng and Fan Licheng, the scenery along the way was nothing to see, just mountains and mountain villages, and occasionally one or two rivers.
But for the Chen brothers who seldom go out, the scenery along the way is novel.
Every mountain has a different view, every village has different characteristics, and even the crops in the fields are different.
Some villages are located halfway up the mountain. They grow little rice but a lot of fruit trees. Their crops include corn, sorghum, cotton, tobacco, etc.
Some villages have flat terrain and dense water networks, so there are many rice fields. At this time, at the end of August, the late rice is just growing vigorously, and the seedlings are green and thriving.
Especially when they saw the river, the Chen brothers, who had never seen a river before, immediately exclaimed in amazement.
Gaojia Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and there are only three reservoirs and one pond in the village. Although the Chen brothers can swim, they have never seen big rivers. The magnificent waves that only big rivers can have are something they have only seen described in books but cannot imagine at all.
"Brother, look! That river is so big! So this is the big river mentioned in the books!" Chen Duoxi pointed to the big river outside the window, his face full of surprise.
Chen Duofu is a calmer person, but he is also a little excited at this moment, his eyes fixed on the scenery outside the window.
He has lived for more than 20 years, but he has never seen the scenery outside!
This sense of freshness made Chen Duofu feel particularly excited.
Amid the brothers' cheers, the jeep gradually drove into Jingdezhen.
Although Jingdezhen has the word "town" in its name, it is not a real town but a prefecture-level city.
Since ancient times, Jingdezhen's porcelain has been famous. It has always been the official kiln of the royal family and is known as the Porcelain Capital. The development here is naturally better than that of the county where Gao Mingcheng and others live.
The two Chen brothers were dazzled again. One of them occupied a window, staring with eyes wide open, unwilling to even blink.
Gao Mingcheng took Fan Licheng all the way home. He had been back and forth on this road many times and was very familiar with it.
After arriving home, Fan Licheng invited Gao Mingcheng and others to visit him.
Before, when Gao Mingcheng sent Fan Licheng here, they always had lunch at Fan Licheng's house. After lunch, they drove back to the county.
But today, it would seem a bit inappropriate to bring the Chen brothers and so many people to the Fan family for dinner, so Gao Mingcheng refused.
"No, I'll take them to a restaurant outside to eat and take a look around here. I've been here a few times before, but I've never really been around it."
When Fan Licheng heard this, he immediately said, "Then I'll go shopping with you! I know where the fun is!"
Okay, it would be nice to have a local to lead the way.
So they first put Fan Licheng's luggage into the car, said something to Fan Licheng's grandparents, and then Gao Mingcheng continued driving. Under the leadership of Fan Licheng, they first found a restaurant with a good reputation to eat.
After dinner, we walked around the city.
But in fact there is not much to visit here. The most prominent feature is that there are many porcelain kilns and shops selling porcelain.
The porcelain bowls used by the Chen family are coarse porcelain bowls produced locally. Seeing these exquisite porcelains now is like opening up a new world.
Gao Mingcheng's new house has been renovated, and all that's left is to buy furniture and appliances, so he also plans to buy a set of better tableware and decorative porcelain to take back.
When Fan Licheng heard this idea, he immediately said, "Uncle Gao, go to my grandparents' house to buy it, I'll ask them to give you a discount!"
"Okay!" Gao Mingcheng agreed immediately. It's not in his interest to use his connections and go to a strange store to be taken advantage of.
So after touring the city, the group returned to Fan Licheng's home.
Fan Licheng went to find his grandfather and told him that Gao Mingcheng wanted to buy porcelain.
So Grandpa Fan took Gao Mingcheng to the warehouse.
After so much going on, they were all old acquaintances, so Grandpa Fan directly gave them the cost price. The Chen brothers couldn't help but be tempted when they heard this price.
Seeing their interest, Gao Mingcheng said: "If you really like it, you can buy a few to take home. Not only can they be used, but they are also pleasing to the eye!"
The two brothers looked at each other, and finally Chen Duofu made up his mind and followed Gao Mingcheng to buy a set of low-end tableware.
Although it is low-end, it is many times more beautiful than the coarse porcelain bowls at home!
Gao Mingcheng is different. He only picks the best ones. The porcelain of Jingdezhen is as white as jade, as bright as a mirror, as thin as paper and sounds like a chime. Among them, blue and white, exquisite, pastel and colored glaze are collectively known as the four traditional famous porcelains of Jingdezhen.
The Fan family's porcelain kiln is said to have been passed down for hundreds of years, but their best product is blue and white porcelain. They can also produce some pastels. As for exquisite porcelain and colored glazes, they no longer have them.
However, because Fan Chengyao opened a porcelain shop in Yangcheng, in addition to the porcelain produced by his family, he also purchased other porcelain from familiar people in the surrounding area. Therefore, in the Fan family's warehouse, one can also find exquisite porcelain and colored glaze goods.
The price of this part of the goods is slightly higher, but it is also considered the purchase price to Gao Mingcheng.
The price was really good, and Gao Mingcheng had plenty of money, so he started buying, buying a set of tableware, a set of tea sets, a pair of small decorative vases, a pair of large plum vases, and all the decorative items he liked. If it weren't for the limited space in the trunk of the jeep, he would have bought more porcelain.
Gao Mingcheng closed the trunk and said to Fan Licheng, "My new house has been renovated and I will move in by the end of the year. When you come back next time, you can stay at my house for a few days. I guarantee you will like it!"
"Okay!" Fan Licheng nodded happily, watched Gao Mingcheng and his group get on the bus, and then waved goodbye reluctantly.
Gao Mingcheng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, also waved goodbye to Fan Licheng.
"Goodbye, you must study hard and make progress every day. My little Xuxu is still waiting for you to tutor him!"
Gao Mingcheng's words made Fan Licheng laugh, but he agreed immediately and said he would tutor Xiao Xuxu.
Watching the jeep leave, Fan Licheng felt lost. The rich and wonderful summer vacation was about to end, and he would have to devote himself to the plain and simple study life again! (End of this chapter)
