Chapter 151 Discussion
Gao Mingcheng certainly agreed, but before he opened his mouth, Gao Shouwang said, "We plan to build a workshop this year and set up a formal township enterprise. As for the money, my son made a contribution a while ago and received a sum of money. He sent us that money and his allowance, which is enough to build a workshop and buy a few sewing machines."
After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng finally understood why Dong Feixia suddenly wanted to set up a garment workshop and turn it into a township enterprise.
But the development of things is still different from the previous life.
He remembered that in his previous life, Gao Shouwang and his wife finally left Gaojia Village and settled outside with their son.
At the same time, Dong Feixia never set up any clothing workshop.
This is probably the butterfly effect. He proposed an idea of selling clothes, and Dong Feixia refined and concretized this idea.
Gao Mingcheng looked at Gao Shouwang and his wife and said sincerely, "Uncle, aunt, we are all from the same village, with the same roots and origins. We know each other's character. I feel relieved and willing to work with you."
As soon as Gao Mingcheng said this, the smile on Gao Shouwang's face could not stop.
Gao Mingcheng changed the subject and said seriously: "But let's talk business. Since we want to make it a township enterprise, we need to discuss how much to invest and how much to hold."
Gao Shouwang nodded and said, "Yes, we do. But we don't understand it either. We need to ask the village cadres, or go to the town to ask about other families' situations, and then discuss a specific investment and shareholding."
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng nodded. He was not particularly clear about the current situation of the township enterprises, so he had to find someone to ask.
The only entrepreneur he knew, Su Tong, had his factory closed and no one knew where he went to study.
"Then I'll go ask Shufang if she's willing to learn tailoring." Gao Mingcheng stood up and decided to go and ask Shufang in person about her willingness.
Dong Feixia immediately said, "I remember you have several cousins. If they want to come, that's fine. I plan to accept five or six apprentices. I can accept three from the village, and my daughter can bring the others."
Dong Feixia was doing Gao Mingcheng a favor, and Gao Mingcheng accepted her favor and decided to ask everyone.
As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family, so when good things happen, they will of course benefit their own family first, and then think of others.
Gao Mingcheng walked out of Gao Shouwang's door and headed towards his home.
Before I reached the door of my house, I saw Gao Shufang and her two cousins sitting under a plum tree playing.
Next to them were some fresh willow branches and flowers, and it looked like they were making wreaths.
Gao Shufang is only fifteen years old this year, which is still the age for a junior high school student. However, after finishing elementary school, she did not go to school anymore, but stayed at home and helped Luo Xiaohua with housework.
There were two reasons why Gao Shufang did not go to junior high school. One was that her family did not particularly support her going, and the other was that she herself did not want to go.
Gao Shufang had to go to town to attend junior high school and live in the school. As a girl, she was a little scared. The most important thing was that there were not many girls in Gaojia Village who had attended junior high school, so she would have no companion if she went there.
Previously, the country did not have nine-year compulsory education, but last year, in 1986, the country had begun to implement nine-year compulsory education.
If Gao Shufang still wants to go to junior high school now, that is fine.
But just like Gao Mingcheng, they have been out of school for too long and can no longer learn. For Gao Shufang, she has no idea of the outside world. She only knows that her cousins and friends are not in junior high school, so she doesn't have to go either.
"Shufang, Shuzhen, Shuyuan, I have something to tell you." Gao Mingcheng looked at the three girls. Except for Shufang, the other two happened to be Gao Mingcheng's cousins.
In their family, names are given according to generation, and the names are different for boys and girls. Boys are named Ming and girls are named Shu.
"Second brother!" Gao Shufang saw Gao Mingcheng coming and smiled sweetly at him.
She liked this second brother very much. Not only did he give her good food, but he also gave her a strong sense of security. This sense of security came from the fact that Gao Mingcheng stood up for Gao Feifei and taught Huang Qingchun a lesson.
Gao Mingcheng looked at them and said, "Aunt Dong and your sister-in-law have decided to open a clothing workshop together. If you want to learn tailoring, Aunt Dong is willing to teach you. You don't need to pay anything. You just need to work in the workshop after you learn. The money I will pay you in the first three years will be less. After three years, when you have graduated, I will pay you according to the market price."
"Think about it yourself and discuss with your family to see if you want to learn tailoring." As soon as Gao Mingcheng finished speaking, Gao Shufang was the first to say, "Second brother, I'll learn!"
The last time she saw many beauties, she expressed her envy for them, and now her second brother asked her to learn tailoring!
Gao Shufang's mind was full of thoughts about how good her second brother was to her. As for the fact that he would only give her the market price after she finished her apprenticeship three years later, that didn't even enter her mind.
Anyway, she knew that her second brother would definitely not harm her.
Gao Shuzhen and Gao Shuyuan were also very tempted, but did not express their opinions immediately. Instead, they said they would discuss it with their families first.
There is no rush for this matter. Besides, I should discuss it with my family.
Gao Mingcheng nodded in agreement, and then said to Gao Shufang: "You should also go back and tell your parents and see what they say. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Ever since Gao Mingcheng knew that his parents didn't like him, he was reluctant to get close to them unless necessary.
He was about to go home when he ran into Gao Zhuang.
Gao Zhuang was holding a few fish baskets in his hands and was about to walk towards the reservoir.
"Brother Mingcheng!" Gao Zhuang saw him, smiled and greeted him, raised the fish basket in his hand, and said, "I'm going to the reservoir to catch fish, are you coming?"
"Let's go." Gao Mingcheng agreed promptly and went to the reservoir with Gao Zhuang.
"I just got a bunch of dried fish. Have you finished eating them? If you have, I'll give you another two kilograms later. I have a lot more at home." Gao Mingcheng said. He hasn't liked to eat dried fish recently because there are too many of them.
"There are still some at home." Gao Zhuang said immediately. When the water level rose, although he was not very good at catching fish, there were too many fish and he could catch more than ten kilograms just by catching them.
"My wedding is in eight days. I plan to get some fresh fish in advance, and it would be best if they are big fish." Gao Zhuang smiled, with some shyness and anticipation on his face.
Young man, who doesn’t want to get married?
What's more, the daughter-in-law likes me so much!
"Okay, two days in advance, I'll go to the reservoir and catch some big fish for you!" Gao Mingcheng promised.
"Oh, thank you!" Gao Zhuang didn't bother to be polite with his brother Ming Cheng. He accepted the kindness with a smile.
As the two were talking, they came to the edge of the reservoir. Near the reservoir, there was a large wetland with ditches and puddles, and covered with human-high grass. When walking on the road, they could see frogs jumping all over the ground.
Gao Mingcheng instructed Gao Zhuang to put the fish basket down so that he could come and take it tomorrow morning. This kind of fish basket can hold some small fish and some eels. As for the specific harvest, it depends on luck.
