Chapter 101 Sending Guns
Sitting in meditation and getting up early to practice boxing have become Gao Mingcheng's habits.
It is now the end of November and will soon be December. It is a bit cold in the mountains in the early morning, but after a set of boxing, I can't wear a cotton coat at all, even that army green sweater.
This sweater is a bit stiff and not soft and warm enough, so Gao Mingcheng plans to buy some balls of wool in the county today.
Most of the women in their village can knit sweaters and even crochet woolen shoes.
Xuanyuemei also knows these things, so he plans to buy some more balls of yarn and let Xuanyuemei knit a sweater for both of them.
After practicing boxing, grandma's porridge was ready.
After eating porridge, Gao Mingcheng took two kilograms of high-quality yellow muntjac meat to the county. He didn't have to go to the market today, so he didn't set out so early.
There were few people along the way.
As the weather gets colder, the crops in the fields don't need much care, so fewer people are hanging out, which makes it convenient for Gao Mingcheng to run.
I saw a handsome and tall figure running on the road at the foot of the mountain. He was running so fast that the birds were startled and chirped curiously.
Today is a day off, Gao Guobing doesn't have to go to work, so Gao Mingcheng went directly to Gao Guobing's home. When he arrived, he saw Gao Yue's mother smiling very happily, as if something good had happened.
As soon as she saw Gao Mingcheng coming, Gao Yue's mother immediately called him over and said with a smile: "I received a call from Gao Hong. He said that everything is fine in the army and that he performed very well in the last military competition."
Gao Yue's mother's name is Zhao Dongmei. Although the name sounds rustic, she is good-looking. Now she has a smile on her face and her eyes are shining with joy.
Hearing Zhao Dongmei mention Gao Hong, Gao Mingcheng's eyes flashed with memories. He had not seen Gao Hong since he was reborn. In his memory, Gao Hong would return home to visit his relatives during the Spring Festival next year, but he would only stay for a few days before returning to the army. It was only after he retired from the army and worked in the county that the two of them saw each other for a longer time.
Zhao Dongmei shared with Gao Mingcheng some interesting stories about Gao Hong in the army, but not much, because many things in the army were not allowed to be talked about.
After Zhao Dongmei was happy, Gao Guobing called Gao Mingcheng over.
Gao Guobing said: "Su Tong came to me and said he wanted to meet you and have a chat. Let's meet at Lao Lin Hotel at noon today."
"Okay!" Gao Mingcheng responded. There was still some time before noon, so the two chatted.
"Come with me." Gao Guobing called Gao Mingcheng into the study, and then took out two guns from the study.
Gao Yue said it yesterday, one is a box gun and the other is a bird gun.
Gao Guobing handed both guns to Gao Mingcheng and said, "We don't have many good guns here. I spent more than a month searching for these two pretty good guns. Take a look and decide which one you want."
"This box gun was discarded by the police station, and this bird gun was confiscated because someone caused trouble a while ago and injured someone with a gun. I have tried them both, and they are both OK and can be used for hunting."
When Gao Mingcheng saw the gun, he was a little excited. Which man doesn’t love guns?
In amusement parks of later generations, those who use air guns to shoot balloons are most likely men!
Gao Mingcheng looked at both guns and finally chose the bird gun.
This bird gun has been improved and is actually no worse than a box gun. It has a long gun body and feels heavy in the hand, giving it a very textured feel.
As for the box gun, it is not that handsome in appearance.
"Uncle, I choose this one!" Gao Mingcheng took the musket and took aim, looking at Gao Guobing arrogantly.
Gao Guobing laughed, not surprised.
We are all men, so we can understand.
He took out a bag of lead bullets and handed it to Gao Mingcheng, saying, "Use them sparingly, don't waste them, understand?"
"Hey, uncle, don't worry. I'm not that kind of unreliable person! I always go into the deep mountains to hunt and won't hurt anyone by mistake." Gao Mingcheng promised repeatedly, because not long ago, he heard that someone was hunting with a gun and ended up shooting a middle-aged woman in the buttocks who was relieving herself in the bushes. Somehow, this incident spread everywhere.
Perhaps the three key words "guns, women and butts" together can trigger people's desire for gossip.
"It's good that you know it. Nothing can happen, otherwise I can't give you the gun." Gao Guobing reminded seriously.
After saying this, Gao Guobing relaxed his expression again and said gently: "I heard from Gao Yue that you built a house? And you chose Niuweiling? Why did you choose such a remote place?"
"I like quietness. Besides, if we build the house there, it will be very convenient to go hunting in the mountains and fish in the water in the future!" Gao Mingcheng said with a smile.
The uncle and nephew talked for a while, and it was almost eleven o'clock.
Although they had an appointment for lunch today, the main purpose was to discuss business, so they had to go early, so the two of them walked together to Lao Lin Restaurant.
Gao Yue looked at the backs of his father and Gao Mingcheng leaving, and said to his mother sourly: "Mom, look at my father! He treats Gao Mingcheng better than him, his son!"
Zhao Dongmei would not indulge him and said, "Isn't it better for you to eat yellow muntjac meat at home? Stop making noise and go inside to do your homework! You will take the college entrance examination in the first half of next year, why are you still wasting time here!"
Gao Yue glared and complained: "Everyone knows that I am going to take the college entrance examination, why did Dad ask me to go to Gaojia Village yesterday?"
Double standards, this is definitely double standards!
But in the end he was suppressed by Zhao Dongmei on the desk and drowned in the ocean of knowledge.
At Lao Lin Restaurant, Su Tong had arrived early and asked the chef Lao Lin to arrange the food. Once people arrived, the dishes could be prepared and served.
When Gao Guobing and Gao Mingcheng were still outside the door, Su Tong saw them, stood up quickly and said, "Section Chief Gao, this way!"
He first asked Gao Guobing to sit down, and then he couldn't wait to say to Gao Mingcheng: "A while ago, I went to the provincial capital and inquired about the joint venture."
In one sentence, we have laid out what we are going to talk about today.
Gao Mingcheng was not surprised. After all, he and Su Tong had only met once and only discussed the joint venture.
"Then Director Su wants to set up a joint venture?" Gao Mingcheng smiled, and he really wanted to know what choice Su Tong would make in this life.
Should we boldly engage in joint ventures, or gradually go bankrupt and become lost in the crowd?
Su Tong's eyes were shining with excitement. As a young entrepreneur who dares to think and act, he is ambitious and has execution ability.
After confirming that there was indeed such a joint venture, he began to think about it in his heart. So at the dinner table, he told Gao Mingcheng everything he was thinking about and asked Gao Mingcheng for his opinion.
Originally, Gao Mingcheng was just a 19-year-old boy and had only graduated from junior high school, but who could blame him for being the first to come up with the idea of a joint venture?
Su Tong wanted to talk to people around him about his views and plans on joint ventures, but people around him had no idea what a joint venture was.
