Chapter 13 A Long-Term Goal
It was almost noon, and the August sun was very hot. Fortunately, the camphor tree was very large, about a hundred years old, and was large enough to provide some shade.
Xuanyuemei sat on a stone, looking down at a notebook, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
Although she was reading the contents of the notebook, her ears were perked up, clearly listening to her second sister's swearing.
Gao Mingcheng walked over and immediately recognized the notebook.
This is a notebook that Xuanyuemei had when she was in school. It was bought for her by her father before he died, and she has always cherished it.
When Zhang Chengyuan married into her family, he brought with him half a medical book.
Zhang Chengyuan was originally the son of a landlord and an educated man. However, he experienced a special period, which led to the breakdown of his family and the loss of most of the things in his home. The only thing that was saved was this half of the medical book.
Xuanyuemei's mother died of cancer, and her father also died of a serious illness. So she was very interested in this half of the medical book. Because she had to read it frequently and was afraid of damaging the book, she copied the contents of the medical book into a notebook. Whenever she had a minor illness or pain, she would read the medical book herself and then go to the mountains to find the right herbs to treat the disease.
In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng was once bitten by a poisonous snake. The wound was swollen badly, the blood was black, and he couldn't move his feet.
He wanted to go to the county hospital for treatment, but there was no suitable means of transportation. In the end, Xuanyue went to the mountains to get herbs according to the information in the medical books to heal Gao Mingcheng's wounds.
Thinking of this, Gao Mingcheng's eyes towards Xuandumei became softer.
But soon, he found that the words on the notebook were very ugly, and some of the words were not even written correctly.
Yes, although many girls have received education, they only studied up to the third grade. This is related to their family's economic conditions and the local educational resources.
There is no primary school in Gaojia Village itself, so they have to go to Xing'anling Primary School three miles away to attend school.
However, Xing'anling Primary School only allows students to study up to the third grade. If they want to continue their studies, they have to go to another primary school ten miles away to study for the fourth and fifth grades.
As for junior high school, I had to go to town.
Therefore, many girls stopped studying after the third grade.
Gao Mingcheng looked at the handwriting on the notebook, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
After being reborn, he fully realized the importance of knowledge. If possible, he wanted to continue learning and did not want to be left behind by the times too early.
But he obviously doesn't have the conditions for the time being.
What he has to do now is to make money!
Then marry many beauties in advance, and then find a way to build a house!
But just now, he knew that the next thing he had to do was to teach many beautiful people everything he knew!
He only has a junior high school education and has experience from his previous life, so he understands nature much better than many other beauties.
Many beauties are beautiful, but without culture, they are not beautiful after all.
Gao Mingcheng decided to find a book after returning home, and then set aside some time every day to teach many beautiful girls knowledge and help them master junior high school knowledge as soon as possible!
With a clear long-term goal, Gao Mingcheng began to exude the aura of a mentor.
Xuanyuemei looked up at him and frowned even more tightly.
What's wrong with this person? He came to her, but didn't say hello, just stood there in a daze!
Alas, although Gao Mingcheng proposed to her, he had no money in his pocket, and she had even less money.
The eldest sister and the third sister are married and have their own lives, but she is still living with the second sister. Every day, she either sees her second sister scolding her brother or hears her scolding her.
Life is so frustrating!
But without money, she could only endure it.
Xuanyuemei sighed softly, but Gao Mingcheng misunderstood her and thought that Xuanyuemei was worried that her brother would not be able to work on the railway.
He immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to Gao Fuqiang and make sure he doesn't dare to make things difficult for your brother again."
This incident had happened before in his previous life, but he was involved in tomb robbing at the time so he didn't intervene. It was only half a month later, when Gao Fuqiang was found to have stolen iron blocks from the construction site, that the railway authorities forcefully dismissed him and also cleared out some people who didn't work hard.
It was at this time that Zhang Chengyuan went to work on the railway and earned some money.
Although Xuanmei was not bothered by this matter, she was very happy to hear Gao Mingcheng say this.
Gao Fuqiang is a very domineering person. He has five brothers in his family and is considered a very powerful person in the village. He often makes things difficult for weaker people.
For example, the railway business was clearly none of Gao Fuqiang's business, but Gao Fuqiang was overbearing and didn't let Zhang Chengyuan do anything. The five brothers blocked his way, and Gao Fuqiang said, "You dare to try!"
Just this one sentence scared Zhang Chengyuan so much that he didn't dare to go.
"You go and tell him, will it work?" Manyu Mei was happy at first, but then she started to worry about Gao Mingcheng.
Although Gao Mingcheng is good at fighting, Gao Fuqiang is no pushover either. Besides, Gao Fuqiang is already 30 years old, older than Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng didn't think much of Gao Fuqiang and sneered, "If I take action, how can it not be successful? Tomorrow you can ask your brother to work on the railway, I guarantee that no one will make things difficult for him."
"Okay." Xuanyuemei felt relieved, thinking that if her brother could work on the railway, he would be able to earn two dollars and nine cents a day, and by the time the New Year came, they would have a few meals of meat to eat.
Thinking of meat, she remembered the male fish that Gao Mingcheng sent her yesterday.
The male fish is very big and they all cooked it yesterday because it was too hot to store it.
However, there was one bowl that had not been touched. She had intended to give it to Gao Mingcheng, but was stopped by her second sister.
Her second sister was not reluctant to let her go, but was afraid that if she was delivered to the door, Gao Mingcheng would be scolded by the family.
Come to think of it, a big male fish weighing five or six kilograms can be sold for five or six dollars!
Finally, it was given to her by Gao Mingcheng!
If Gao Mingcheng's family knew about this, they would scold her too.
Because of this concern, many beauties dare not come to our doorstep.
As for today, she thought Gao Mingcheng would go to work on the railway, so she didn't go to find Gao Mingcheng.
Thinking of this, her eyes widened and she asked in surprise, "Why didn't you go to work on the railway today?"
"Well, I have something to do recently. I will go to work on the railway after a while." Gao Mingcheng made up an excuse. It was not easy to tell anyone what he was going to do, not even his wife. It was not easy to explain it too clearly now.
Many beauties looked at Gao Mingcheng, and although they seemed a little disapproving, they didn't say much.
"By the way, I left you a bowl of the fish you brought yesterday. It has not been touched. You can have lunch at my house. I will go cook now!" Xuanyuemei stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen.
Their kitchen was even more rudimentary. Whenever it rained, it rained heavily outside and drizzled inside.
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng was happy that lunch was taken care of.
So as to avoid getting scolded by his mother when he gets home.
