Chapter 227: Driver's license test, borrowing pickup trucks
Gao Mingcheng stayed with the transportation company until the evening before returning to Gao Guobing's house, and when he went back, Zhao Dongmei had already prepared the meal.
Seeing Gao Mingcheng coming, Zhao Dongmei seemed quite happy.
She has two sons, but the eldest son went to the army, and the younger son also went to the provincial capital to study at the end of August.
And Gao Mingcheng is about the same age as Gao Hong and Gao Yue, and the three of them grew up together, so seeing Gao Mingcheng is like seeing his own son.
"Come and wash your hands and eat!" Zhao Dongmei greeted with a smile, so the three of them sat together and ate dinner.
After the meal, Zhao Dongmei brought an envelope, handed it to Gao Mingcheng, and said, "This is the photo you took with Duomei last time, I have seen it all, and it is very good." ”
"If I hadn't seen this photo you took, your uncle wouldn't have gone to the photo studio with me to take pictures!" Zhao Dongmei said with a smile that before Gao Yue went to college, she took Gao Guobing and Gao Yue to the photo studio to take a few photos, and planned to wait for Gao Hong to come back to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year, and called Gao Hong to take pictures together.
As she spoke, Zhao Dongmei took out the photos she had taken.
Under the light, dozens of photos spread out on the table, each with a familiar face, either serious or smiling.
Seeing the photos taken by Zhao Dongmei, Gao Guobing and Gao Yue, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but have an idea, should he take his parents to the photo studio to take a few photos?
Youth is like the passing of water, never going back, take a photo today, and you can recall the years in the future.
Those years, those people, those things.
The three of them looked at the photo and chatted, and Gao Mingcheng also saw a photo of Gao Hong wearing a military uniform, which was taken in the army and then mailed back.
Gao Mingcheng took this photo and looked at it carefully.
At this time, Gao Hong was only twenty years old, enlisted in the army for two years, and had just escaped the title of recruit egg, but there was still a period of time before he made a contribution.
In his last life, Gao Hong served as a soldier for 20 years, worked until he was the head of the regiment, and then transferred back to the county and entered the system to work.
Seeing that Gao Mingcheng had been staring at this photo, a trace of longing also appeared on Zhao Dongmei's face, and she said: "When Gao Hong went to be a soldier, he also called you, but unfortunately you were injured in your leg for some reason at that time, and you couldn't pass the physical examination, otherwise you and Gao Hong were soldiers together, which would be good." ”
Hearing Zhao Dongmei talk about this, Gao Mingcheng's expression was in a trance, and he recalled it for a long time before he remembered what happened at that time.
At that time, a group of people were eyeing Gaojia Village, and they came to steal chickens every night, most of them were stolen, and in the morning, they could always hear the sound of abuse from those who had stolen chickens.
At that time, Gao Mingcheng also hated this group of thieves, he couldn't eat meat a few times a year at that time, and there were only so many chickens at home, if someone stole it, then even an egg would be unpalatable.
So he called out to a few young men in the village, and after several nights, he finally caught the chicken thieves, and then it was a good beating.
Gao Mingcheng was good at fighting when he was a child, but the people who dared to steal chickens were definitely not good at stubble, so the fight was very fierce, Gao Mingcheng knocked down a few people, but in the end he was also beaten on the leg by one of them with a wooden stick, although the bone was not broken, but the muscles on the leg were bruised and swollen, which affected walking.
At that time, Gao Hong returned to the village from the county and told him that he was going to be a soldier for a physical examination, and asked him to go together.
But unfortunately, Gao Mingcheng couldn't go.
When Gao Mingcheng thought about this incident, he felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
He had two chances to change his fate, but he missed both of these opportunities.
When he was studying, although he was not a scholar, he was not bad, if he could follow Gao Hong to the county to study in junior high school, then it was still possible to continue to study in high school, technical secondary school or something.
The second is the matter of being a soldier, if he is not injured and passes the physical examination, then he can go to the army with Gao Hong.
Gao Hong can successfully become the head of the regiment, which is actually partly related to Gao Guobing, in the same situation, if the family is strong, the career will be smoother, which is understandable.
Gao Mingcheng's family is not strong, but his own ability is good, if he enters the barracks, then after more than ten years of struggle, there is still a chance to mix in the main camp, besides, when Gao Hong becomes the main regiment, he can also help him again.
If he hadn't gone back to '86, but earlier, he might have gone down a different path.
Under the orange light, the three of them sat there, looking at the photos and talking about the past and the present.
A good night's sleep, early the next morning, Gao Guobing and Zhao Dongmei went to work, and Gao Mingcheng also went out.
Today he is going to get his driver's license, and when he has a driver's license, he will be considered a legal driver.
When I arrived at the DMV and reported my name, someone immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "You are Director Zhao's nephew Gao Mingcheng, Director Zhao has already said hello, saying that you want to come to take the driver's license, you come with me, as long as you can drive, you will be able to get a driver's license immediately." ”
The man is round, looks very honest and honest, and the director Zhao in his mouth is Zhao Dongmei's brother and the director of the transportation management office under the Transportation Bureau.
The responsibility of this transportation management office is the licensing and management of passenger and freight transportation, so it is very convenient for Xiao Jinfeng, the brother-in-law of Director Zhao, to come forward to open a transportation company.
The so-called people in the DPRK are easy to do, under the leadership of the round-faced man, Gao Mingcheng successfully got his driver's license, but now there are not many vehicles, and the assessment of the driver's license is not as complicated as in later generations, plus Director Zhao said hello, so things went smoothly.
After getting his driver's license, Gao Mingcheng went to his house.
The house has been almost repaired, and it will soon be ready for beams and tiles.
Gao Mingcheng is also free in the past few days, and then he will go back to the village to devote himself to the process of picking yellow gardenia and white flower snake tongue grass, so he said that he will leave the beam ceremony tomorrow.
The foreman of the contractor responded with a mouthful, saying that everything would be prepared in advance, and the master only needed to come forward.
In this case, Gao Mingcheng went to Xiao Jinfeng's transportation company again, this time, Xiao Jinfeng was at home, but Gao Mingwan was not there, and was arranged by Xiao Jinfeng to follow a master to run the transportation.
Gao Mingcheng said that he had just gotten his driver's license, and the house he built in the county would be beamed tomorrow, so he wanted to borrow Xiao Jinfeng's pickup truck.
This pickup truck is still parked here today because of the lack of loading. This car rarely runs long distances, and is basically used to contract some business in the county, such as helping people and families, transporting large household appliances, etc.
Xiao Jinfeng has a bold personality, and when he heard that Gao Mingcheng borrowed it for the sake of the beams of the house, he took out the key to the pickup truck without saying a word and told Gao Mingcheng to just drive it.
The reason why Gao Mingcheng wants to borrow a car is because he wants to go home to pick up people to participate in tomorrow's beam ceremony, in addition to his wife, his parents also have to bring it, because building a house is a big deal, and if the brothers are free, they can also come together to be happy.
When there are many people, it is inconvenient to go out, and if there is a car to travel, then it will be much more convenient.
"Thanks!" Gao Mingcheng took the key to the pickup truck, put his bicycle in the cargo box, and sat in the driver's seat.
After borrowing the car, Gao Mingcheng went to the store to buy melon seeds, peanuts and candy.
Because it's not a market day, there are few people selling things, but the shops are open every day, and these commonly used things are easy to buy.
In addition to shopping, Gao Mingcheng also went to a photo studio, and he asked the owner of the photo studio how much it would cost if he rented a camera.
Yesterday, when he saw the photos of Gao Guobing's family, he had the idea of taking some photos with his family, and tomorrow is the ceremony of the beam of his first house in the county, which is a memorable day, plus he will bring his parents together, it is a good time to take pictures.
Gao Mingcheng gave a deposit, then took away a camera and a roll of film, and made an appointment to return the camera after taking photos tomorrow, and by the way, let the photo studio people wash out the photos.
Everything was ready, and he finally went to the police station, found Gao Guobing, and told him about getting a driver's license and the beam on the house.
Gao Guobing said: "This is a big deal, and your aunt and I will also go over tomorrow." ”
Although he and Zhao Dongmei both have to work, it is not a big deal to walk away for an hour or two temporarily.
After saying this, Gao Mingcheng was ready to go home, he drove an old pickup truck, full of spirits, but as he moved away from the county, the road began to become dilapidated, even if his driving skills were not bad, the old pickup truck was trying his best to maintain his demeanor in the potholes.
This is indeed a rare demeanor, along the way, when someone sees an old pickup, they will instinctively give way, and then pay attention.
Well, at this moment, Gao Mingcheng is the most beautiful boy on this road!
When passing through Junling, Gao Mingcheng found a spacious place to park the car, and then went to Huang Dazhi's house.
Huang Dazhi's parents did get some medicinal herbs, but they were all those near the house, such as ghost needle grass, paving brocade, black medicine, etc.
The value of these common medicinal materials is not high, but Gao Mingcheng also calculates the money according to the best quality.
When Huang Dazhi's parents saw Gao Mingcheng, they had a good attitude, while Huang Dazhi's younger brother stared at Gao Mingcheng with curious eyes.
In the eyes of their family, Gao Mingcheng is considered a noble person of Huang Dazhi.
first took Huang Dazhi to sell medicine, made some money, and then taught Huang Dazhi the skills of catching rabbits, but the most thankful thing is that he let Huang Dazhi eat national food!
The appearance of Gao Mingcheng changed the fate of Huang Dazhi, and Huang Dazhi's efforts will eventually change the fate of their family.
When Huang Dazhi gained a foothold in the county, their family's life was visible to the naked eye, and Huang Dazhi's father even wanted to go to the hospital to check his body to see if he could cure his problems.
