Chapter 241 Want to buy a tractor
When Gao Mingcheng arrived there, his parents had not yet eaten, but they were already cooking, and the sound of frying could be heard from the kitchen.
Seeing Gao Mingcheng coming in, Gao Mingli, who was originally sitting in the yard to rest, immediately stood up and said attentively: "Second brother is here! Second brother, sit down!"
He gave his stool to Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Yuanjian was sitting against the wall, smoking a cigarette after a hard and busy day.
His smoking addiction was getting worse and worse. Gao Mingcheng had seen him smoking homemade cigarettes before and felt that it was too harmful to the body, so he bought some cigarettes with filters for his father later.
"Mingcheng is here." Gao Yuanjian looked up and saw Gao Mingcheng, whose attitude was quite good. At this time, he already knew that this second in command had made something of himself.
Gao Mingcheng told Gao Mingli not to tell anyone about what happened at the pharmaceutical trade fair, but when Gao Mingli returned home and faced his family's concerned inquiries, how could he not say anything?
So last night, he excitedly shared what he saw and heard with everyone, and gave the two bottles of Site Liquor he got to his parents.
The harvest was poor this year, and Gao Yuan saw that his wine-making skills were nowhere to be used. In the past, his family had no shortage of wine, but now they were short of it.
Gao Yuanjian was very happy to get the two bottles of wine and said he would save them for the New Year.
Good wine should naturally be drunk on good days.
After Gao Mingcheng sat down, he said to Gao Mingli, "Tomorrow is the county market day. I'm going to the county to buy rice. Have you decided which factory you want to work in?"
When Gao Mingcheng first spoke to Gao Guobing, Gao Guobing mentioned two factories, one was a sugar factory and the other was a paper factory.
Gao Mingcheng personally suggested that Gao Mingli go to the sugar factory because the paper mill would declare bankruptcy in a few years and would later be acquired and restructured by a large paper mill from another place.
Although the company later became larger and hired more workers, the workers had a hard time during the years of bankruptcy.
The sugar factory has been developing well, and next year Taiwanese businessmen will come to invest and build factories. Among them is a candy factory that mainly produces milk candy, and the factory is located near the Red Star Farm.
The candy factory gets raw materials such as white sugar, maltose, etc. directly from the sugar factory, and then gets milk powder from the milk powder factory. After mixing according to the formula, they can produce milk candy.
Before this, if people in their county wanted to buy milk candy, they had to buy goods from other places, which would be more expensive.
Gao Mingcheng briefly stated his suggestion, and then Gao Mingli said with joy: "Second brother, after we discussed it, we also agreed that it would be better to go to the sugar factory! Dad said that if I went to the sugar factory, then the sugarcane in our village would definitely be sold earlier! This can also be regarded as seeking benefits for the village."
Gao Mingcheng laughed, it turned out there was this reason.
In order to have enough raw materials for the sugar factory, the county requires most villages to grow sugarcane, but the sugar factory has the final say on where to purchase the sugarcane first. Sometimes, no one knows what happened, and the sugar factory is slow to purchase the sugarcane, causing complaints from the villagers.
If Gaomingli had a sugar factory, then, among other things, the sugarcane problem in their village would always be taken care of.
Because the people at the sugar factory would know that the person standing behind Gao Mingli was Gao Guobing, and Gao Guobing was also from Gaojia Village.
Gao Mingcheng said, "Okay, since we have already discussed it, let's go to the sugar factory. Tomorrow morning, we will go to the county together. Remember to dress smartly!"
"Okay!" Gao Mingli nodded excitedly. He had prepared the new clothes long ago.
Yesterday he received fifty yuan from his second brother and told his parents the truth. His mother wanted him to turn it in, saying that the family would keep it for safekeeping and that he would need it when he got married in the future.
But after a moment's silence, his father agreed to let him keep it, saying that a man cannot be without money. You can do without money, but you cannot be without money.
Gao Mingli didn't quite understand, but he certainly wasn't willing to spend money indiscriminately.
After discussing this matter, Gao Mingcheng talked to his family about some other things. When his mother finished cooking the meal, he prepared to leave.
But his father said, "Why leave? Let's eat together."
"No, Duomei was cooking when I went out. How much can she eat by herself? If I don't go back to eat, it will be wasted! The weather is still a bit hot now, and it's not good to keep leftovers overnight." Gao Mingcheng refused. His mother cooked very carefully and would never cook too much. In addition, the harvest was poor this year and it was the season when sweet potatoes were ripe, so the family had sweet potato rice.
Gao Mingcheng can eat sweet potatoes raw, roasted, and dried, but he just doesn't like sweet potato rice.
His family now eats white rice. Only when he cooks porridge in the morning, Xuanmei will cut some sweet potatoes into the porridge. He can barely accept this.
Since Gao Mingcheng insisted on leaving, naturally no one could stop him.
He walked through the corridors between the houses in the old village. Countless sounds came into his ears. Every household had different joys and sorrows. Some were laughing, some were quarreling, and some were beating their children. The children who were beaten were howling, and half of the village could hear it.
"The invention was hit again!"
"He is so naughty. When he was playing today, he threw a handful of dirt on his sister. As a result, his eyes were blinded and he couldn't open them. He was taken to the health center to see a doctor."
The people around were well aware of the situation, and when they heard Gao Faming's howling, they started chatting for a while.
Gao Mingcheng frowned slightly when he heard the name.
Gao Faming is a clever kid, but he is also mischievous and loves fighting. People in the village say that Gao Faming looks very much like Gao Mingcheng.
At first, Gao Faming's parents were unhappy, but later Gao Mingcheng made visibly great progress, and Gao Faming's parents couldn't help but hope that Gao Faming would really be like Gao Mingcheng and achieve the same success in the future.
When he grew up, Gao Fa Ming did become successful. He tried many ways to make money and did make money, but it didn't last long. Moreover, he couldn't save money. After struggling for 10 or 20 years, although he seemed to be doing well, he actually didn't have much money.
Gao Mingcheng walked out of the old village along the corridor, stood under the dilapidated Cheng'en doorplate, and looked back.
The two words "Cheng'en" are almost blurred, and some of the decorative buildings nearby have collapsed, revealing a sense of antiquity and gloom under the setting sun.
This Cheng'en doorplate was renovated at the end of the 1990s with funds funded by the village. After the renovation, although it looks brand new, it has lost some of its ancient charm.
Gao Mingcheng looked up, thinking in his mind whether he should find someone to repair it in advance, but he had to look for a craftsman who had inherited the craft from his family.
Only this kind of craftsmen can restore some of the ancient architectural styles, and they also have ways to make antique imitations of the missing building materials.
Following the afterglow of the setting sun, Gao Mingcheng returned home, where his lovely wife and delicious meals were waiting for him.
Well, we’re still missing a little kid to make some noise!
That night, Gao Mingcheng, who had been sedentary for a long time, took Xuanyuemei to bed early. That night, the two of them went to bed very early but woke up very late.
The next morning, Duo Miu, who was suffering from backache, glared at Gao Mingcheng fiercely. Gao Mingcheng, who was dressed in new clothes, said in a very good mood: "I cooked some porridge and kept it warm in the pot. If you are tired, just sleep a little longer. I am going to the county to do some work and will be back in the afternoon."
"Yeah." Xuanyuemei responded, but her voice was very hoarse. She shut up shyly and glared at Gao Mingcheng again.
Gao Mingcheng felt his heart melt. There weren't many neighbors around his home, so it was normal for him to let go of his nature when doing certain things!
Humming a little tune, Gao Mingcheng pushed the bicycle, then rode it to the old village to pick someone up.
After arriving at Gaomingli, the two headed towards the county town.
Because we set off late, it was already past nine o'clock when we arrived at the county town.
This is the busiest time of the day at the county market, with crowds bustling about and the sounds of hawking being heard one after another.
Gao Mingcheng took Gao Mingli to the market first. He did not look for those people who loaded goods onto trucks to sell, but instead looked for local grain and oil merchants. He placed an order of 500 kilograms of rice from them and placed it in the store. He would come to take it away in the afternoon.
After paying the deposit and getting the receipt, Gao Mingcheng took Gao Mingli to the police station to find Gao Guobing.
After the meeting, Gao Mingcheng told Gao Mingli about his choice.
Gao Guobing smiled and said, "It's also good to go to the sugar factory, but let's make it clear that you will be a temporary worker at first and can only be converted to a regular employee later."
When Gao Mingwan went to the transportation company, he did not mention the issue of regular workers and temporary workers, because the transportation company was a private enterprise and Gao Guobing had a stake in it.
But it’s different at the sugar factory. Even if you have connections with Gao Guobing, you’ll be a temporary worker when you first get in, and you’ll have to use other connections to get a permanent job later.
It is now mid-October and the sugarcane harvest season is approaching. When the sugarcane is ripe and ready to be harvested, it will be the busiest time for the sugar factory.
In the past, some seasonal workers would be recruited at this time. Seasonal workers are also a name for temporary workers. They will be recruited temporarily during the season when manpower is needed.
"Xiao Song, take Mingli to the sugar factory to find Lao Zhang. Tell him that I asked you to take him there and ask him to get the job done today." Gao Guobing called Xiao Song over. He seemed to like Xiao Song very much and liked to ask Xiao Song to do some errands.
"Okay, okay. Come on, brother Mingli, follow me." Xiao Song smiled and took Gao Mingli away with a gentle attitude.
Before leaving, Gao Mingli looked at Gao Mingcheng nervously, and only relaxed when he received an encouraging look from his second brother.
Gao Mingcheng stayed in the office, talked to Gao Guobing in a friendly way, and gave Gao Guobing some precious Chinese medicinal materials, all of which were used to nourish the body.
Gao Guobing smiled and said, "Jin Feng also gave me some, and also gave me two boxes of Si Te wine. Let's have lunch together at noon today, and we'll open a bottle and drink it."
"Okay!" Gao Mingcheng responded with a smile, and then told some interesting stories about the pharmaceutical trade fair.
"By the way, uncle, I plan to buy a tractor. Do you have any connections here?" Gao Mingcheng said. He originally wanted to find Xiao Jinfeng, but Xiao Jinfeng had already gone to Guangdong to receive the goods.
Gao Mingcheng also likes the domineering truck, but he has no money. After much thought, he decides to buy a tractor first.
The tractor must be used now, otherwise his broken bicycle would not be able to transport the goods.
He couldn't take the 500 kilograms of rice he bought today back home, and he couldn't deliver the medicinal materials the pharmaceutical factory needed. Besides, he needed a car to buy fruit seedlings and to transport the fruits out to sell later.
So it is still necessary to buy a tractor for transition.
After listening to Gao Mingcheng's words, Gao Guobing thought it would be a good idea to buy a tractor. At this moment, tractors are also very cool for rural people!
