Chapter 653: Driving School Double Grab
After returning to the county, Gao Mingcheng took a few days off as promised to teach Gao Yue how to drive.
When Gao Yue came to learn how to drive, he was not alone, he also brought Lin Ye with him.
After graduation, Lin Ye will most likely stay in Shanghai to work, so he decided to learn how to drive first. In a place like Shanghai, there are many people and cars, so maybe he will have the opportunity to drive in the future.
Gao Mingcheng did not refuse this.
Lin Ye knew that Gao Mingcheng didn't smoke, so he gave him two bottles of good wine. The money for the wine was naturally given by his parents.
Gao Mingcheng was happy, but he didn't care about this little thing, so he asked Lin Ye to take the wine back and said, "You are still a student now. When you work in the future and return to the county during the holidays, come to see me when you are free and give me some Shanghai specialties. That would be great."
Lin Ye said hurriedly: "Let's put things in perspective. If I stay in Shanghai to work, I will definitely send you some local specialties! But learning to drive is learning to drive, and I would feel bad if I don't give you anything."
The two of them exchanged some polite words, and in the end, Gao Mingcheng accepted the two bottles of good wine.
The main reason is that Lin Ye is very determined to give gifts.
At that time, being a driver had a stable job. Whether working as a driver in a factory or in a transportation company, the salary was quite high.
If you want to learn how to drive, you will never be able to do it without some tips!
Even if you have connections, you still have to give generous gifts.
Lin Ye is a college student and he will most likely not become a driver in the future, but it is good enough for him to learn such a skill. Therefore, his parents are determined to give Gao Mingcheng a gift, and they also decided to give Gao Mingcheng a pair of chickens and ducks as a thank you after Lin Ye learns to drive.
Gao Mingcheng knew that Lin Ye's family was well off, so after accepting the gift, he began to teach Gao Yue and Lin Ye how to drive.
Teaching people to drive is teaching one person or two people. Gao Mingcheng taught them the basics first and then let them take turns driving.
In order to teach them how to drive, Gao Mingcheng drove the car to a place with a wide road and few people so that they could give full play to their abilities.
At that time, there were no driving schools, let alone exams for Subject One, Subject Two, Subject Three, and Subject Four. To learn to drive, you only needed to understand the functions of the car, know how to start the car, how to turn the steering wheel, how to brake and accelerator, how to shift gears, and how to reverse. That was basically it.
Gao Yue drove first. He sat in the driver's seat with an extremely serious expression, his hands on the steering wheel, one foot on the clutch and the other on the brake.
As for the accelerator, I dare not step on it now.
The speed of a car in first gear is very slow, especially when the accelerator is not pressed. Whether it is turning or climbing a hill, this speed is very safe and there is enough time for the driver to react and operate.
When Gao Yue was driving, Gao Mingcheng was not in the car, but stood beside the car, giving Gao Yue real-time guidance.
Although Gao Yue could not drive, he took the opportunity to touch the police jeep when he was interning at the police station, so he was relatively familiar with the structure of the car.
He listened to Gao Mingcheng's instructions, turned the steering wheel at the right time, and was able to start the car soon.
There is no S line drawn on the ground, but Gao Mingcheng will let Gao Yue turn left or right according to the terrain, which can be regarded as practicing the S line.
After practicing the S line, we found a small slope for Gao Yue to climb and began to practice the skills of parking and starting on the slope. After practicing this, we started to practice reverse parking and side parking.
There are fewer cars on the market right now, but at the same time, the roads are not wide or flat enough, so if you want to park, you do need some skills.
Gao Yue and Lin Ye both studied very hard. When they were able to get the hang of it, Gao Mingcheng no longer watched them all the time, but let them continue practicing to get the feel for driving.
So, Gao Yue and Lin Ye started to take turns driving, and if anyone operated the car improperly, they would give timely reminders.
Gao Mingcheng, who had nothing to do, found a shady spot and sat down on the grass to rest. He looked at the car that was moving as slowly as a turtle and closed his eyes out of boredom.
I really miss smartphones. Otherwise, as a coach, I could watch short videos to kill time while my students are practicing driving!
On the third day of teaching Gao Yue and Lin Ye how to drive, Gao Mingli also joined in.
In fact, Gao Mingli had learned to drive from Gao Mingcheng a long time ago, but he had few opportunities to drive a car, so he was still not good at driving and did not dare to drive on the road.
Now that he knew Gao Mingcheng was teaching Gao Yue and Lin Ye how to drive, he would come along during the weekend so he could take the opportunity to touch the car.
Gao Yue and Lin Ye have been learning to drive for two days, and Gao Mingli has also learned it before, so the levels of these three people are surprisingly similar.
Gao Mingcheng was quite bored on the first day, but he had a way to deal with it on the second day. He brought a book with him. On the third day, he continued to read the book and let Gao Yue and the others take turns practicing driving.
The three of them have already mastered the basic driving skills and are now starting to step on the accelerator. They look like they are driving pretty well.
Gao Mingcheng saw it from afar, so he closed the book and waved to them to drive the car over.
Soon, Gao Yue drove the car to Gao Mingcheng's side.
"Ming Cheng, how is my driving? Not bad, right?" Gao Yue raised his chin slightly, his tone very cocky.
Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "Not bad. I see you all know how to drive, so let's get going! Uh, let's go to Gaojia Village and bring back some firewood."
Gao Mingcheng asked Gao Mingli to get out of the passenger seat, and he sat there himself, then said, "You all know the way to Gaojia Village. The three of us will share the ride, and each of us will drive a section of the way."
"Okay!" Gao Yue was brave and not afraid.
The main reason is that there are fewer cars and people on the road at this moment, especially after leaving the county town.
Although he was not afraid, Gao Yue was more nervous than before. He looked straight ahead, concentrating on driving, not daring to say a word.
He drove out of the county and onto the national highway. After driving for a while, knowing that the road conditions ahead were better, Gao Yue pulled over and prepared to let Lin Ye drive.
Gao Yue said: "Next, you, Lin Ye, will drive. When we reach Junling, let Mingli drive!"
The national highway is a straight line with no forks, so even if Lin Ye is not familiar with the road conditions, he will not go wrong. But when he reaches Junling, he needs to turn, and there are several small roads, so this requires Gao Mingli, who is more familiar with the road conditions, to drive.
Lin Ye and Gao Mingli had no complaints about this arrangement, so the three of them began to take turns driving in this order.
Gao Mingcheng was sitting in the co-pilot seat to protect them.
When Gao Mingcheng returned to Gaojia Village this time, he found that the double harvest had already begun. When passing the old village, on the left side of the road was the village where the villagers lived, and on the right side were five or six hundred acres of rice fields connected together, which looked extremely spectacular.
In the rice fields, some people were bending over to cut rice, some were operating threshers to thresh the rice, and some were carrying the threshed rice on shoulder poles to the threshing ground.
Men, women, young and old in the village were basically busy in the fields. Even children of seven or eight years old had to use sickles to harvest rice.
The children, aged three or four, followed behind and picked up the rice ears that fell in the fields.
Of course, there are also naughty children who will take the opportunity to catch loaches and eels.
In the era when pesticides were not rampant, there were so many loaches, eels and small fish in the fields that you could easily make a plate of food from them.
When the car entered the village, only people in the fields near the roadside looked up, but soon lowered their heads and continued to do their work, which was very different from their previous appearance of watching the fun and chatting.
Gao Shouwang and his wife were also working in the fields.
Although they opened a garment workshop and their business was good, they would take a few days off during the harvest season so that their employees could go back to work.
Even schools are closed because teachers have to go home to work and students have to go home to help.
The morning sets the tone for the day, and spring sets the tone for the year, but after sowing in spring, harvesting and sowing in summer are also extremely important.
They are in the south, and rice is grown twice a year. The rice being harvested now is called early rice, also known as summer grain.
Gao Mingcheng did not stay in the old village, but asked Gao Mingli to drive the car directly to Niuweiling.
After parking the car, Gao Mingcheng said to Gao Mingli, "Do you want to help in the fields?"
Gao Mingli was a little hesitant. He didn't like working, but if he didn't go to help when he returned to the village, it would be a bit unreasonable.
Finally, he thought that his second brother would return to the county soon, so he would go over and show his face and help out.
So Gao Mingli said, "I'll go to the fields and see if there's anything I can help with."
Gao Mingli walked away with big strides. Gao Mingcheng said to Gao Yue and Lin Ye, "The village is experiencing a double harvest, and Uncle Chen has not had time to send me eggs and vegetables to the county recently. Now that we are back, let's do these things ourselves."
"Gao Yue, Lin Ye, I won't be polite with you. I'll go to the mountain to get some firewood. You two can help me pick some pears and bayberries, and go to the chicken coop to pick up some eggs. How about that?"
"Oh, the watermelons should be ripe too. Pick a few ripe ones later, one for each of you!"
Gao Yue and Lin Ye were not averse to helping Gao Mingcheng and agreed immediately.
After the three of them had agreed, they divided the work and cooperated.
Gao Mingcheng only has one acre of land, which he has entrusted to Zhang Chengyuan to take care of. Zhang Chengyuan's family only has two acres of land. Although Xuanyu is pregnant and has to take care of the baby, she can still do it if she works slowly.
The main thing is that this year Zhang Chengyuan doesn’t need to borrow a cow to plow the fields. Instead, he can use a tractor to plow the fields, which can save a lot of effort and time.
Therefore, Gao Mingcheng did not go to work in the fields, but went to collect firewood.
Firewood is something we need every day. The firewood I saved from contracting Xiaofushan has almost been burned up by now.
Gao Mingcheng had to go to the mountains to carry down the dead trees and the trees that had been chopped down and dried before.
Going into the mountains to collect firewood is not an easy job, so he does this job himself and lets Gao Yue and Lin Ye do relatively easier work.
Gao Mingcheng took a thick hemp rope from the utility room and led several dogs from his family into the mountains.
During the double harvest period these days, people are extremely busy and the food is not so good. As a result, several dogs have become listless and their furs look dull.
Gao Mingcheng touched Heihu's dog head and felt that the dogs in his family were quite pitiful.
Well, let's see if we can get some rabbits to feed the dogs.
Gao Mingcheng thought so in his heart, but he also put getting firewood first.
Growing Poria cocos requires a large amount of pine wood, and pine wood only requires the trunk, while the tree top and branches are not needed. So Gao Mingcheng piled these parts in the mountains to dry in the sun, and by now they have been dried up.
After entering the mountain, Gao Mingcheng picked up all the firewood he saw and tied it up with thick hemp rope.
This bundle of firewood, like a small mountain, was carried on Gao Mingcheng's back.
This is not the end yet. With his other hand, he was dragging a complete dead tree down the mountain.
This time, Gao Mingcheng got a lot of firewood.
But this was not enough, Gao Mingcheng went into the mountains again.
However, this time the main focus was on hunting hares, and as usual, he ordered a few dogs to look for the traces of the hares. Gao Mingcheng followed the hares and collected firewood on the roadside. He didn't like to pick up some of the firewood that was too thin, and some of the firewood was difficult to burn, so the fire was not big and produced a lot of smoke.
People in the village don't like to pick up firewood like this. They will only take it home when they really have no firewood to burn.
Pine wood is very easy to burn. It contains a certain amount of oil. When it burns, the fire is very big and a pine wood aroma is emitted.
In addition, withered bamboo is also easy to burn. It will make crackling sounds when burning, and some bubbles will sizzle at the end.
However, although the fire caused by bamboo is large, it also burns quickly and is burned out in an instant. It is not durable at all, so it will only burn a little when the fire is first started.
The black tiger and the elf were very human-like and cooperated well with Gao Mingcheng. After receiving Gao Mingcheng's instructions, they began to sniff the scent of wild rabbits in the mountains and led Gao Mingcheng to find wild rabbits.
In order to hunt hares, Gao Mingcheng carried a few knives with him.
When he failed to find the hare, he picked up a small knife and began to get a feel for it. After casually shooting down a sparrow on the treetop, Gao Mingcheng nodded with satisfaction, feeling that he was still as skilled as ever.
But when autumn comes, I still have to find a chance to go into the mountains and practice my skills of throwing knives and javelins.
Let the wild boars and muntjacs in the mountains become his training materials!
"Woof woof!" In front, Black Tiger and the Elf had become excited and began trying to dig up the rabbit's nest with their paws.
To be honest, this is really unethical. The rabbit was sleeping in its nest, but someone robbed it!
After finding the rabbit's nest, Gao Mingcheng used some tricks to force the rabbit out, but as soon as the rabbit appeared, its life would end.
Age of death... unknown.
With a group of dogs leading the way, the wild rabbits in the mountains suffered again. Fortunately, they reproduced very quickly, and could both reproduce by blood and give birth to a baby every three months.
Rabbit: As long as I give birth to enough children, I won’t be afraid of being exterminated!
An hour later, Gao Mingcheng went down the mountain leisurely, carrying seven or eight wild rabbits in one hand and dragging a dead tree in the other.
The hares that escaped the disaster secretly hid in a safe place and began to chirp and nibble on the grass!
