Chapter 152 Zhao Dongmei's Arrangement
Three days passed in a flash, and soon it was the county market day.
Gao Mingcheng and Xuanyuemei got up early, ate a bowl of noodles each, and prepared to go out.
Gao Mingcheng led the cows and sheep to the shade of the trees at the foot of the mountain, where there was abundant grass and water, just right for the cows and sheep to eat. He also told Black Tiger and the elf to stay at home to watch over the house.
When passing by Xuanyu's house, Xuanmei went over and asked her second sister and brother to help look after the cattle and sheep. That's how the villagers were. When they went out, they would help each other look after the livestock at home.
The two rode their bicycles all the way to the county town. Because they set out early, it was only nine o'clock when they arrived at the county town.
Today happened to be a day off, but Gao Mingcheng did not go directly to Gao Guobing's home. Instead, he went to the market first and sold all the honey he brought. Just like before, he sold it at a fixed price. Although it was cheaper, it was more convenient.
But after seeing this, many beauties felt that they were at a disadvantage and showed disapproval on their faces.
"I'll sell it next time. I can sell it for seven dollars if I sell it individually!" Xuanyuemei said.
Gao Mingcheng thought about it and nodded in agreement. He personally was not willing to stand in front of the stall and sell goods, but if many of the girls were willing, that would be fine.
Besides, next time we shake the honey, we will have at least hundreds of kilograms of honey, and we can sell it slowly.
Seeing that Gao Mingcheng agreed, Xuanxuanmei finally smiled. She felt it was a great loss to sell it to others at wholesale prices.
After selling the honey, Gao Mingcheng took Xuanyuemei to Gao Guobing's house. In addition to the two kilograms of honey, Xuanyuemei also went to the bamboo forest to dig some bamboo shoots and picked some peas from the fields the day before, saying that she would give them to Gao Guobing and others.
Originally, he wanted to pick some bitter melon, but the price was too cheap and it took up too much space, so Gao Mingcheng didn't give in.
When we arrived at Gao Guobing's home, only Zhao Dongmei and Gao Yue were there. When we asked about Gao Guobing, he said he had some business at the bureau.
"Gao Yue, go call your father back and tell him that Cheng He Duomei is here." Zhao Dongmei immediately told her son to run errands.
"Hey." Gao Yue responded and ran away.
More than ten minutes later, he came back with a puppy in his arms.
"Gao Mingcheng, last time I promised to get a dog for Gao Zhuang, but I was too busy with my studies and had no time to send it to Gaojia Village. Fortunately, the dog gave birth to another litter of puppies a month ago, and I told people in advance that this dog is the best one in the litter." Gao Yue held the puppy in his arms, as if he were a baby, and showed it off to Gao Mingcheng proudly.
"When you go back, please bring this dog to Gao Zhuang for me!" Gao Yue said.
“Okay.” Gao Mingcheng agreed immediately and took the puppy over, looking at it in his hands. The puppy was not afraid of strangers and made a whimpering sound from its mouth.
This dog has not yet shed its fur. Its coat is milky gray. Its eyes are dark and gleaming with intelligence. It looks very smart.
It and the elf are from the same mother and do look somewhat similar. Although the elf is not as powerful as the black tiger, it is also very smart, good at pleasing people, and very obedient and sensible.
Hopefully this is a good dog too.
At this time, Gao Guobing came back, and Gao Mingcheng handed the dog in his arms to Xuanyue beside him. She had just wanted to play with this little puppy.
"Uncle." Gao Mingcheng stood up and greeted him.
"Hey, Mingcheng, Duomei, you are here! Duomei, please sit down, Mingcheng and I will go into the study to talk." Gao Guobing patted Gao Mingcheng's shoulder with a smile on his face.
Then he said to Zhao Dongmei, "You should treat Duomei well and make the meal more sumptuous. If not, go to the restaurant and bring some dishes."
"I'll treat you, don't worry. You men can go and talk, we women have our own words to say!" Zhao Dongmei said, ignoring Gao Guobing and pointing the finger at her son: "Go back to your room and do your homework!"
Gao Yue looked at his dad, well, his dad wanted to talk to Gao Mingcheng, then he looked at his mom, uh, his mom wanted to talk to Xuanyuemei, so it seemed like no one was paying attention to him!
Senior high school students have no human rights, go do your homework!
After everyone left, Zhao Dongmei said to Xuanyuemei, "We women have to give men face outside, but at home, men and women must be equal, and husbands must take better care of their wives!"
"Duomei, don't be like the women in the village who still believe that the husband is the God. Times have changed a lot. We women have to be strong and stand up straight. Only in this way can we live a fulfilling life."
"Duomei, I've learned that the current Women's Federation comrades in Gaojia Village have been working at the grassroots level for several years, and it's time for them to be promoted. Do you want to work in the village Women's Federation?" Zhao Dongmei looked at Duomei, and the last sentence was her highlight.
She had known Xuanyuemei's personality before, and after observing her for a while, she felt that Xuanyuemei had a good spirit. As long as Xuanyuemei was willing to work in the Village Women's Federation, she could arrange everything for her.
Xuanyuemei was not stupid and she quickly understood what Zhao Dongmei meant. Her heart was pounding and she felt flattered.
Of course, she also knew that all this was not because of her, but because of Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Guobing and Zhao Dongmei value Gao Mingcheng, so they are willing to arrange it for her.
"I... I haven't even graduated from elementary school..." Xuanyuemei's first sentence revealed her lack of confidence.
Zhao Dongmei smiled. It was common for girls in the village to have poor education, but she heard from Gao Mingcheng that he was already teaching Xuanyuemei to recognize words, and now Xuanyuemei should know all the commonly used words.
To work in the Women's Federation, it is enough to be able to read and write. The most important thing is to have a heart that seeks legal rights for women and promotes gender equality.
Zhao Dongmei is an old member of the Women's Federation. She is very smart and experienced in her work. She can definitely lead many beautiful people well. As long as many beautiful people are willing, the work of the Women's Federation will not be a problem.
But Zhao Dongmei's good intentions were ultimately dashed.
Because Xuanmei said that she wanted to open a clothing workshop with her master and then sell clothes in the county.
"You learned tailoring from Dong Feixia?" Zhao Dongmei was a little surprised. She just found out about this.
Xuanyuemei nodded and said, "I have been studying for half a year. I have learned the basics and can help with the work."
"Oh, so... It's not bad to be able to learn a skill. The clothing business in the county is doing very well now. I see many people are willing to spend a month's salary to buy clothes. But those clothes are all imported from Yangcheng. If you make them yourself, I'm afraid they won't look so good, and the styles won't be novel enough." Although Zhao Dongmei has never been in the clothing business, she is also a woman and pays close attention to the situation in the clothing market.
Manyu Mei had already figured out a solution for this. She said, "Before opening a clothing store, Mingcheng would take me to Yangcheng to purchase goods. I would also take a look at the various styles in Yangcheng and buy some of each. After bringing them back, I would unpack them, make patterns, and then make the clothes accordingly."
In this way, the goods in their clothing store are of novel styles, and they save the time and ticket costs of frequent trips to Guangzhou to purchase goods.
