Chapter 95 Gao Mingcheng, a teacher
After seeing Su Tong off, Gao Guobing asked Gao Mingcheng how he knew about the joint venture.
What else could Gao Mingcheng say? He naturally put the blame on the medicine trade fair. In the eyes of outsiders, he had only traveled far away once in his life, so all the information that was inconsistent with his identity had to be attributed to that fair.
So Gao Mingcheng started talking nonsense, which made Gao Guobing, the veteran policeman, stunned.
In the end, Gao Mingcheng successfully instilled a lot of messy things into Gao Guobing's mind.
In the afternoon, Gao Guobing had to go to work, and Gao Mingcheng did not stay in the county for long. Instead, he took some of the things he bought and returned to Gaojia Village.
When passing by Junling, he met Huang Dazhi again. Huang Dazhi was working in the fields. He picked up a hoe and was turning the soil.
After the soil is turned over, it is time to plant some vegetables for winter.
"Dazhi, are your injuries healed?" Gao Mingcheng stopped and talked to Huang Dazhi.
The two were not familiar with each other before, but now they are very familiar with each other. Every time they meet, they will say a few words.
Seeing Gao Mingcheng, Huang Dazhi grinned and said, "It will be done soon."
Gao Mingcheng understood that it was not healed. Thinking of Huang Dazhi's family situation, there was not much labor force, and all the work in the field had to be done by Huang Dazhi, so even if Huang Dazhi had more than ten wounds on his body, he could not rest.
Suddenly, he found that he was much better than Huang Dazhi.
What does it matter if my parents don’t like me?
At least he doesn't have as much burden as Huang Dazhi! After the family is divided, he can just take care of himself, and when his parents are old, he will take on the responsibility of supporting them.
But Huang Dazhi can't do that. His whole family relies on Huang Dazhi to support the family.
Huang Dazhi is already 22 years old. In the countryside where early marriage and early pregnancy are popular, he should be married and have children at this age.
Gao Mingcheng recalled carefully and it seemed that Huang Dazhi had never been married in his previous life, and he had never heard that he had any children.
Gao Mingcheng put the things in his hand on the ground, walked to the field, and said, "Come, I'll turn the soil for you."
As he said that, he snatched the hoe from Huang Dazhi's hand.
Huang Dazhi couldn't snatch it from him and could only thank him gratefully.
Gao Mingcheng has good physical fitness and is also good at farm work. Every time he swings the hoe, he can easily turn the soil.
While turning the soil, the two of them chatted casually.
Huang Dazhi couldn't help but excitedly share a good news with Gao Mingcheng: "Mingcheng, last time I went to the market, I went around and picked up fifty cents!"
He held out a hand, fingers spread out, with an excited smile on his face.
To put it simply, picking up the money was his good luck, but it also proved that Huang Dazhi's observation skills are indeed outstanding.
He had not discovered this strength of his before, but after he discovered it, he had a different understanding of some of the people and things around him.
"Ha, then congratulations!" Gao Mingcheng said with a smile, but then he remembered that he had forgotten to ask Gao Guobing about the standards and treatment for the police station to recruit auxiliary police officers.
"You are so capable that you can become a police officer. When a police officer investigates a case, he needs to have strong observation skills!"
Huang Dazhi shook his head repeatedly, his face full of panic, and said, "I didn't even finish elementary school, I can't even recognize all the characters, how can I be a police officer and investigate cases? I can't do it, I can't do it."
"Did you only study up to the third grade?" Gao Mingcheng asked.
Huang Dazhi nodded and said, "Yes, at that time, my brother had polio. My parents had to go to the fields to work, and I had to stay at home to take care of my brother. A few years later, my father suddenly became ill."
"Oh, did uncle go to the hospital for a check-up?"
"We went there, but the doctor couldn't explain the cause and asked us to go to the provincial capital for treatment, but..." Huang Dazhi didn't say the rest.
Going to the provincial capital to see a doctor is not a trivial matter. If you don’t have some money, how can you dare to go?
From ancient times to the present, there have been countless cases of people becoming poor due to illness.
"Except for not being able to do physical work, my father didn't have any other discomfort, so he didn't go." Huang Dazhi smiled and pretended to be relaxed.
However, in rural areas, a middle-aged man cannot do physical work, which is a heavy burden for the family.
If his father could do physical work, Huang Dazhi would have an easier life.
As they were talking, Gao Mingcheng had already turned over the land.
He returned the hoe to Huang Dazhi and said, "Be good to yourself. If you have an injury, do less physical work. Otherwise, the wound will split and never heal. Is your wound still inflamed? I have a few boxes of amoxicillin at home. I'll give you another one."
Normally, one box would be enough for me, but I couldn't stand Huang Dazhi's tormenting my body like that!
Give him another box as a backup!
Huang Dazhi didn't dare to take the money in the black bag, so Gao Mingcheng decided to help him more in the future.
"By the way, do you have steel wire at home? I can make a trap. I can put the trap in places where rabbits often pass by, and it will be able to catch the rabbits. You can eat them or sell them when the time comes!"
Gao Mingcheng decided to teach him the skill of catching rabbits, but Huang Dazhi shook his head and said, "We don't have any steel wire at home."
"Then let's go to the cooperative and buy it!" The cooperative was in Junling, so Gao Mingcheng went straight to the cooperative. Huang Dazhi didn't expect Gao Mingcheng to be so efficient, so he hurriedly followed him.
When he arrived at the cooperative, Gao Mingcheng bought a lot of steel wire, of course, he paid for it.
After buying the steel wire, Gao Mingcheng personally took Huang Dazhi to the mountains.
He now has a thorough understanding of the living habits of rabbits and knows which places rabbits pass by. So under his guidance, Huang Dazhi made several traps and placed them in the grass.
"Okay, come and check tomorrow morning. If you are lucky, you will definitely catch a rabbit." Gao Mingcheng was still very confident that he could catch a rabbit.
Gao Zhuang and his family use this trap to occasionally harvest some game.
"I bought some apples. I'll give you one. You should eat more meat so that your body can get better quickly. Don't save the ginseng I gave you. If you keep it for too long, it will get damp and go bad!"
"Good things should be eaten, so they won't go to waste!"
Today, Gao Mingcheng was a bit of a know-it-all and had already instilled some ideas into the three people.
After such a delay, it was getting dark. Gao Mingcheng took his things, waved goodbye to Huang Dazhi, and strode towards Gaojia Village.
Huang Dazhi stood on the edge of the field, looking at Gao Mingcheng's leaving back, excitement in his eyes.
He felt that everything Gao Mingcheng said was right!
When he got home, Huang Dazhi washed the big apple that Gao Mingcheng had given him, cut it into four, and shared it with his family.
Apples are a fruit that they don't have here, so they are more expensive. Huang Dazhi's family rarely eats apples.
At this time, Huang Dazhi said, "Dad, give me some money. We will buy a pound of meat and stew it with ginseng at the market tomorrow."
After we brought the ginseng back, our family hasn’t eaten it yet.
When Huang Dazhi was thinking about what ginseng stewed meat tasted like, his father said, "What are you going to eat? This is all the money we have at home, and you want to spend it all?"
A wave of negative emotions came over him, dimming the light in Huang Dazhi's eyes. He pursed his lips, and a decision came into his mind.
