When the forestry workers were dealing with wild boars, Xiao Jinfeng found Gao Mingcheng and talked about purchasing oranges.
Xiao Jinfeng said, "Mingcheng, I have found a buyer for the oranges. How long will it take you to organize people to pick the oranges? How many kilograms can you pick at a time?"
Gao Mingcheng thought about it. It was his first time selling oranges, so it was hard to say exactly how many kilograms of fruit he would be able to sell. So he said conservatively, "Let's sell 1,000 kilograms for the first time and see if it sells well. I can't tell you exactly how many fruits are on the tree now."
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said, "Okay."
After discussing the matter, Gao Mingcheng decided to go back and call Gao Shouwang to ask him to inform Chen Dasong and have him organize people to go into the mountains to pick oranges tomorrow.
The bamboo baskets for oranges have been prepared long ago. If they are not enough, you can use sacks.
However, Gao Mingcheng thought about it and decided to buy some more woven bags to keep at home as backup.
After finishing the business, everyone gathered together to smoke and chat, talking and laughing. Gao Mingcheng didn't smoke, but Director Chen insisted on giving him a cigarette.
Some people like to pass cigarettes to others, and think that if you don’t take it, they look down on them.
Director Chen also has this bad habit.
It was Gao Guobing who helped to decline the offer. Gao Guobing smiled and said to Director Chen, "Don't underestimate Mingcheng because he has a good physique. In fact, his lungs are not in good condition. He will cough easily, feel uncomfortable, and have difficulty breathing when he smokes. So he really can't smoke."
This is a white lie, just like in the workplace, some people use the excuse of being allergic to alcohol to politely refuse to be forced to drink.
Director Chen looked at Gao Mingcheng. Gao Mingcheng naturally would not reveal anything. Instead, he smiled and nodded: "Yes, when I was a child, I smoked my father's dry tobacco and almost killed myself. Later, I didn't dare to smoke anymore."
Director Chen laughed and said, "Dry tobacco is very strong! If you smoked filter cigarettes first, maybe you wouldn't have that problem!"
Having said that, he no longer had to offer Gao Mingcheng a cigarette.
Gao Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Sometimes he would refuse someone’s offer of a cigarette, but it was just a matter of words. As long as he was determined, it would be fine.
But it is hard to refuse some people's cigarettes.
Now that Gao Guobing has found him an excuse, he can use it in the future.
Gao Mingcheng was naturally a smoker in his previous life, mainly because he had a psychological problem. He always felt that his youngest son learned to smoke at such a young age and learned bad things from him. Later, he touched things he shouldn't have touched and ruined half of his life.
So after being reborn, while I am still young and have no addiction to smoking, it will be easy to quit smoking completely as long as I resist the urge to smoke.
Over the years, because he doesn't smoke, he has truly experienced the benefits of not smoking. His fingers that were used to holding cigarettes are no longer yellowed by the smoke, his teeth are white, and even his body no longer smells of cigarettes. When he does certain things, he doesn't attract many complaints from the public.
With so many benefits, he naturally doesn't want to break the rules.
While chatting and laughing, the prey hunted today was almost processed, so Gao Mingcheng helped move the prey onto the pickup truck.
The pickup truck's bed is big enough to hold all the prey.
It was already late and the sky was getting dark. No one wanted to stay here any longer and they all got into their cars and headed towards the city.
Gao Mingcheng was still responsible for driving the pickup truck, and then following behind the jeep. Every time he arrived at a household's door, he would help deliver the prey to the home.
As a result, when I returned home, it was already completely dark.
Gao Mingcheng first moved his prey home, then moved Gao Guobing's prey to his home, and then said, "Uncle, I'll deliver the pickup truck to Brother Xiao."
Zhao Dongmei hurriedly called him and said, "Why did you come back so late? You must be hungry, right? Mingcheng, don't leave yet, let's have a meal together at home before you get back to work!"
Gao Mingcheng originally wanted to refuse, as he felt that Gao Shufang must have saved some food for him. But Zhao Dongmei insisted on dragging him to the table to eat, and Gao Guobing also asked him to stay.
So Gao Mingcheng simply stayed here to eat. To be honest, his stomach was rumbling with hunger!
Zhao Dongmei had already prepared the food, and it was now warming in the pot. It would still be piping hot when she took it out.
After serving the meal to the two of them, Zhao Dongmei also ate with them.
While Gao Guobing was busy eating, he looked at Zhao Dongmei and said, "Why don't you eat first?"
Zhao Dongmei said, "It's boring to eat alone. I just cleaned up the house today and didn't cook anything. I'm not too hungry."
As expected, eating is all about the atmosphere. If the atmosphere is good, even cabbage will taste delicious. If the atmosphere is not good, even ginseng and abalone will not taste delicious.
Most people at this time ate very quickly, and very few ate slowly. After the meal, Gao Guobing said, "Mingcheng, we agreed to hunt a wild boar for Xiao Xuxu's first birthday banquet. Now that I have caught half a wild boar, I will give you half for the wine. The remaining half will be pickled with salt and made into wind-blown meat, which is enough for our family to eat."
This was a token of Gao Guobing's kindness, so Gao Mingcheng did not refuse but thanked him generously.
Anyway, when he kills sheep and pigs later, he will send some meat to Gao Guobing.
Gao Mingcheng put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Uncle, I'm going to send the car to Brother Xiao first."
The half of the wild boar meat that belonged to Xiao Jinfeng was still in the pickup truck.
He went out and drove a pickup truck to Xiao Jinfeng's transportation company. After delivering the truck, he walked to the clothing store.
The rolling shutter of the clothing store was closed, but light was coming through the gap and the sound of the TV could be heard.
Gao Mingcheng first knocked on the door to make a sound to alert the people inside, then bent down and tried to pull up the rolling shutter door.
With a rattling sound, the rolling shutter door was pulled up.
What came into view was a group of beautiful people gathered in front of the TV. Little Xuxu was still young and could not understand the programs, so he sat alone playing with his toys. At this time, he was also attracted by the sound and looked up.
When he saw Gao Mingcheng, Xiao Xuxu immediately opened his arms and shouted happily: "Dad, Dad!"
He stumbled and tried to walk towards Gao Mingcheng, but unfortunately, he still couldn't walk steadily. After three or five steps, he fell to the ground.
But it doesn’t matter. Little Xuxu is now dressed like a ball. Even if he falls, it’s no big deal. Besides, which child doesn’t grow up by falling and fighting?
Even though he was thinking this in his mind, Gao Mingcheng took a big step forward and picked up little Xuxu.
"Haha, son, Daddy is back! Bab!~" Gao Mingcheng kissed his son's tender little face. The little guy smelled of milk and his skin was as tender as tofu.
"Ming Cheng, why did you come back so late? Are you hungry? I left food for you in the rice cooker." Xuanyuemei hurried over and said with concern.
Gao Shufang went to the backyard, opened the rice cooker, and took out the hot food.
But Gao Mingcheng was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, he said, "I'll call Uncle Shouwang first. It's already this late, and I don't know if he's still at the garment workshop."
Gao Mingcheng walked to the phone, dialed Gao Shouwang's number, and then the phone beeped.
One sound, two sounds, three sounds.
Nowadays, people are usually accustomed to answering the phone after two rings. When Gao Mingcheng heard the third ring, he was a little disappointed, but who would have thought that after the fourth ring, the phone was actually picked up.
Gao Shouwang's voice came from the other end of the microphone.
"Uncle Shouwang, good evening. It's so late, you haven't gone home to rest yet?" Gao Mingcheng greeted him.
Gao Shouwang on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "I just packed up and was about to go back."
Gao Mingcheng thought, what a coincidence.
So he told Gao Shouwang that he wanted him to pass on a message for him, and then said, "The clothes in my store are almost sold out. Have you prepared all my goods?"
"There are still about ten items to go. It's been a bit cold these days, and several employees have caught colds and fallen ill, which has delayed the progress. But we are already catching up on the progress," said Gao Shouwang.
"Okay, it doesn't matter if it's less. I'll bring the finished ones over to sell first."
After the communication, Gao Mingcheng hung up the phone.
"Second brother, eat it while it's hot!" Gao Shufang handed a big bowl of food to Gao Mingcheng. In order to keep the food warm, Gao Shufang put the food in the bowl and then put the whole bowl into the rice cooker to keep it warm, which made it convenient to take out.
"Second brother, is this enough? If not, I'll make you some noodles." Gao Shufang said.
Gao Mingcheng quickly took it and said, "That's enough, I've already had a bowl of rice at Uncle Guobing's house before."
So Gao Mingcheng took the bowl, found a stool, and started eating. As for Xiao Xuxu, he just hung around him. After not seeing each other for a day, Xiao Xuxu was quite affectionate to his father. (End of this chapter)
