Chapter 154 Huang Dazhi's Sense of Responsibility
The lunch was naturally extra sumptuous. After the meal, everyone gathered together to chat. It was not until about three o'clock in the afternoon that Gao Mingcheng was ready to say goodbye and go back with a lot of beauty.
Before leaving, Zhao Dongmei took out a few things and handed them to Gao Mingcheng, including a few packs of snacks and two bottles of wine.
Zhao Dongmei said, "These are gifts given to your Uncle Guo Bing by others. There are too many to eat at home. You can take some home to eat."
Gao Guobing said, "This wine is Si Te wine, it tastes pretty good. You can drink a bottle and give one to your father. Let him try the wine sold outside and see what the difference is with the wine we make."
"Okay, okay." Gao Mingcheng agreed, and then left under the gaze of Gao Guobing and his wife.
The bicycles were parked in the yard downstairs. Gao Mingcheng rode the bike while Xuanyuemei sat behind him, holding a puppy in her arms.
He did not go back to Gaojia Village directly, but went to a bookstore and bought four great classics. These four books are timeless and suitable for reading all the time.
After buying the books, they headed for Gaojia Village. When passing through Junling, Gao Mingcheng said to Xuanyuemei, "You ride back first. I'll go find someone."
Xuanyuemei didn't ask any more questions and just responded. However, it would be inconvenient for her to hold the puppy if she rode a bike, so she handed the puppy to Gao Mingcheng to hold.
Gao Mingcheng held the puppy in his arms, smiled helplessly, and walked towards Huang Dazhi's house.
It is almost five o'clock now, but the sky is still relatively bright. In the fields of Junling, villagers are busy farming.
Huang Dazhi was also working in the fields, weeding the melon field. This year he planted one acre of melons and one acre of watermelons, and when they were ripe, he would sell them at the Junling Old Market.
"Dazhi!" Gao Mingcheng stood on the edge of the field and called out from afar.
"Hey." Huang Dazhi responded and turned to look at Gao Mingcheng. When he saw Gao Mingcheng, a smile appeared on his face out of habit.
Huang Dazhi's dress style hasn't changed much now, but his complexion is much better, he has gained some weight, and he looks quite handsome now.
Gao Mingcheng nodded secretly. Now Huang Dazhi's personal image, as well as his spirit, have reached the passing line.
"Dazhi, how have you been recently?" Gao Mingcheng didn't rush to express his intention, but chatted with him as if it were family matters.
Huang Dazhi put down his hoe, walked towards the ridge of the field, and said with a smile: "Not bad, Gao Mingcheng, I went to the county market last time, guess how much money I picked up?"
Without waiting for Gao Mingcheng to speak, Huang Dazhi couldn't wait to hold up three fingers and said excitedly: "I found three yuan! There are so many people in the market, it's inevitable that some people accidentally dropped money. I was walking around there and saw some money on the ground!"
Ever since Huang Dazhi picked up money a few times, he has used his special ability to pick up money. Although there is a market day in Junling every few days, the market in Junling is small after all, and there are few people. What's more, the villagers value money very much and rarely lose money.
So Huang Dazhi set his sights on the county. Last time, his family happened to want to buy something that was only sold in the county, so he went to the county and found three dollars.
For Huang Dazhi, who always only picked up a dime or two, this was a windfall!
Gao Mingcheng couldn't help laughing, feeling that Huang Dazhi's world was beginning to become strange.
"Congratulations! There is an opportunity for you to work in the county. Do you want to go?" Gao Mingcheng said.
Huang Dazhi nodded instinctively and said, "Go!"
He thought that Gao Mingcheng was going to ask him to do something again, just like last time.
He felt that he would not suffer any loss by following Gao Mingcheng and that he would also be able to broaden his horizons, so he was very happy to do so.
But when Gao Mingcheng asked him to go to the police station as an auxiliary police officer, Huang Dazhi's originally relaxed expression changed instantly.
He began to become timid and shrink again, and said in a whisper: "I... I didn't even graduate from elementary school... I don't even know all the characters."
Seeing Huang Dazhi become timid and cowardly again, Gao Mingcheng was speechless. He patted Huang Dazhi on the shoulder and encouraged him, "As the saying goes, you can learn as long as you live. You can learn slowly. Common characters are easy to learn. As long as you are willing, you can learn them quickly. Do you still have elementary school textbooks at home? If not, I will give you a few books. You can read more. If you don't know a character, ask someone you know in the village."
"Being an auxiliary police officer means you have to work outside, not sit in an office and write articles. As long as you can roughly recognize the words, it won't be a big problem."
"This is a rare opportunity. I hope you can go to the police station to take the test. If you pass, you can stay in the county and work with peace of mind. As long as you are willing to learn, the old people in the police station will teach you how to do things."
Gao Mingcheng made it clear that he hoped Huang Dazhi would take part in the assessment. With Gao Guobing's relationship, there would be no problem as long as Huang Dazhi's performance was not too bad.
The salary of auxiliary police is not high and the work is heavy, so Gao Mingcheng himself doesn't think much of it. But for Huang Dazhi, who has no connections and no diploma, it is a very good job.
Besides, with Huang Dazhi's keen eyesight, he might be able to pick up some money if he went to the market for a walk. Adding up all these bits and pieces would be enough for him to live a comfortable life.
Being an auxiliary police officer does not require too many technical skills. You just need to recognize common words, have good physical fitness, and the courage to fight criminals. That's about it.
Thinking of this, Gao Mingcheng said again: "It's late today. I will come to see you tomorrow and teach you a set of boxing techniques. You can practice diligently every day."
In just a few words, Gao Mingcheng decided Huang Dazhi's future.
Huang Dazhi opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out.
His heart was pounding and his vision was dizzy, as if all this was an illusion. How come he was suddenly going to the county to be a police auxiliary?
Oh, I'm going to take the exam.
But even so, it was enough to excite Huang Dazhi.
He took a deep breath and said incoherently: "I...can I do it? If I go to the county, who will farm the land at home? No, I can't go..."
At this time, Huang Dazhi was still instinctively thinking about his fields.
Huang Dazhi's family is different from other families. His father is sick and cannot do physical work. His younger brother has polio and is semi-paralyzed. As for his mother, she is healthy, but she is old and a woman, so she cannot do some heavy physical work.
Therefore, even though his heart was already itching to do so, as the eldest son in the family, he had his own responsibilities to fulfill.
Gao Mingcheng had also considered these things, but as the saying goes, "A tree that is not moved will die, but a person who moves will live." If Huang Dazhi had stayed in the village to farm, he would never have become rich in this life, and it would even be difficult for him to find a wife.
Which woman would be willing to marry into such a family?
