When Gao Mingcheng drove back to the village in a pickup truck, it immediately caused a sensation, and many people working in the fields saw it and came over to watch the excitement.

Everyone circled around the pickup truck, looking very seriously, even if this was an old pickup truck that had been eliminated, in the eyes of the villagers with little knowledge, it was still very handsome.

The place where the paint and rust had fallen off, the place where it was sunken, the seat that was a little dirty, these imperfections were automatically beautified by the villagers.

"Gao Mingcheng, you can drive? Where did this car come from? Did you buy it? A villager asked in surprise.

Gao Mingcheng jumped out of the car and simply chatted with everyone, otherwise he would be blocked at the entrance of the village and would not be able to go back.

He smiled and said, "How can I afford a car?" It was borrowed from someone, my third brother Gao Mingwan is now working in a transportation company, and my car was borrowed from the transportation company. ”

"Oh, this, I heard your dad mention it, yes, Ming Wan is also promising now!"

"Gao Mingcheng, how much do you have to give someone to borrow this car? Hello dignified, what are you doing with a car? Isn't it time to go out and sell medicine yet? The yellow gardenia is just maturing! ”

"You've collected so many medicinal herbs this year, I'm afraid you'll have to take a cart to transport them away, right?"

The villagers were talking nonsense, but Gao Mingcheng didn't know which question to answer first.

He could only say: "This borrowed car must be because of something, otherwise who will borrow it?" I'll have to get some timber to sell later, and I'll have to pick up my parents and them for a trip to the county tomorrow. I still have something to do, so I'll go first, let go, let go! ”

Gao Mingcheng beckoned people to give way, and the rest of the people reluctantly got out of the way, watching him drive all the way to Niuweiling.

The roads in the old village are all small roads, the houses are next to the houses, and there is only one road in the middle, so the car can't drive in, but Gao Mingcheng's family lives in Niuweiling, and the place over there can be wide, and you can drive through.

What Gao Mingcheng said was true, he did plan to take the opportunity to sell a batch of timber.

From the time he contracted Kofuyama to the present, he has been hiring people to cut down trees, and the open space at the foot of the mountain is already full of trees.

The trees that could be sold for money were piled together, and the miscellaneous trees that could only be used as firewood were piled together, and as for the countless weeds and so on, after they were dried, they were brought home by the tree cutters.

He drove the car all the way to Xiaofushan, and the appearance of the pickup truck also attracted the sideways eyes of the tree cutters, and someone asked loudly.

Gao Mingcheng replied simply, he got out of the car, opened the carriage, and then began to install the tree, the carriage of the pickup truck was not long enough, and the tree that was too long had to be cut in two, and there was a position of about one meter that was exposed.

Gao Mingcheng took an axe and began to prune off the excess branches.

While he was busy arranging the wood, Tami heard the news and came over as well.

She naturally knew that Gao Mingcheng could drive, and Gao Mingcheng took her for a ride before.

Driving is a common saying in Hong Kong films, and many beauties think the meaning is quite appropriate, because when driving, the wind pours into the car vigorously, isn't it like being around?

Last time, Gao Mingcheng drove her around in a jeep, and she looked left and right at the old pickup truck, and felt that it was not as good as the last one.

Seeing her coming, Gao Mingcheng briefly talked about his plans for today and tomorrow, and then asked many beauties to bring home the melon seeds, peanut candy, medicinal herbs and bicycles in the car.

"Hey, okay." Many beauties responded by putting things in the iron basket of the bicycle, and if they couldn't fit it, they tied it to the seat, and then pushed the cart like this and sent the things home.

Gao Mingcheng has a lot of strength, even if he is trimming the branches and moving the wood to the car alone, he does not look tired, and the speed is very fast.

After filling a carriage, Gao Mingcheng fixed it with thick hemp rope to prevent the wood from jolting out in the process of driving.

When he had done this, he started his cart and sold the cart of timber to the yamen.

Yaqian is a town in the next county, but it is closer to them, and it is much closer to Yaqian than to the county, mainly because there is a timber processing factory there, which will collect a large amount of wood.

When Gao Mingcheng returned to the village, it was more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and when he came back from a trip to Yaqian to sell timber, it was already almost four o'clock, and it was still early, so he loaded another cart of timber and sent it to Yaqian.

After two trips, the timber that could be sold for money was almost sold. The remaining trees that have not yet been cut down will be sold later.

Back home, many beauties had already cooked rich meals, and after Gao Mingcheng had dinner, he didn't rest, but went to his parents' house to tell them about going to the county to participate in the Shangliang ceremony tomorrow.

When he passed, the family was also having dinner, and the dish was a very common dish, and the countrymen basically ate seasonal vegetables, and almost ate them all at once!

It's not that they don't want to change their food, but they can't change it, there are only a few kinds of vegetables in the field, and if they don't eat it, they have to spend money to buy it, and spending money is a big deal.

Stir-fried eggplant with chili is a classic dish of this season, and I have been eating it for two months in a row, but soon these two dishes will be out of season.

"Mom and Dad." Gao Mingcheng greeted the people, and then said that he would pick them up and take them to the county tomorrow.

Now that Gao Yuanjian has no extra money to steam wine, the biggest thing every day is to be busy with the work in the field, and after saying it in advance, he can arrange a time to come out.

The family had long known that Gao Mingcheng had built a house in the city with the help of Gao Guobing, but no one had seen it with their own eyes.

Now Gao Mingcheng came to call them to go to the county to participate in the beam ceremony, and also specially borrowed a car, Gao Yuanjian felt that there was light on his face.

Regarding Gao Mingcheng's borrowing of a car, he had heard about it for a long time, but then he knew that Gao Mingcheng was busy transporting trees to sell, so he didn't rush to find Gao Mingcheng.

"Okay, tomorrow is eight o'clock in the morning? Enough to water the vegetable patch in the morning, boss, are you going to the construction site tomorrow? Gao Yuanjian said, and then looked at Gao Mingpeng.

Although Gao Mingpeng has a job to do things on the construction site, this job is not done every day, and sometimes there is no material anymore, so he has to wait for the materials to be bought before he can continue to do things.

Gao Mingpeng said: "Don't do anything tomorrow, I'll go to the field with my dad tomorrow morning to water." ”

Hearing this, Gao Yuanjian nodded with satisfaction, and then asked about Gao Mingli's work.

Gao Mingcheng told Gao Guobing about the two jobs that Gao Guobing could arrange, and asked Gao Mingli to make a choice after thinking about it himself.

Gao Mingcheng said: "This is not in a hurry, Mingli, you think slowly, wait a while, I will go to Zhangshu to participate in the medicine fair, and there will be a shortage of manpower at that time, Mingli, you go with me!" This time we didn't take the train, we just drove the big truck. ”

When Gao Mingli heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go with my second brother!" ”

You know, he has long wanted to go out and see the world.

It's just that he didn't dare to go alone, and Gao Yuanjian refused to give him money to let him go out, for fear of encountering something on the way.

Gao Yuanzhi knows that it is not very peaceful outside, especially on the road.

Gao Mingli's small arms and legs, no one leads him, where is he willing to let him go out.

Now Gao Mingcheng proposed to let Gao Mingli go with him to sell medicine, not only did Gao Mingli himself agree, but Gao Yuanzhi and Luo Xiaohua were also extremely satisfied.

Gao Yuanjian even said: "Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers." You call your brother to help, that's right! You were just here last year! ”

Last year, Gao Mingcheng called Gao Zhuang and Huang Dazhi, Gao Zhuang is okay, he is Gao Mingcheng's follower when he is young, but who is Huang Dazhi? An irrelevant person!

For this reason, Gao Yuanzhi and Luo Xiaohua have a lot of opinions.

Gao Mingcheng smiled and didn't say anything.

The words that should have been said were almost done, so Gao Mingcheng said goodbye and left, but he didn't go home directly, but went to Grandma Xi's house.

He didn't propose to let Grandma Xi's family also participate in the Shangliang ceremony, because there were too many people, I was afraid that the pickup truck would not be able to sit down, and Grandma Xi was old, and He Xiuman was pregnant, so it was inconvenient to squeeze it.

He came here to talk about taking pictures tomorrow.

"Grandma Xi, Gao Zhuang, Xiuman, I will bring my camera over tomorrow morning and take a few pictures of you. You'll have to wear the spirit points tomorrow! Gao Mingcheng said with a smile.

He rented a camera and bought film, naturally wanting to photograph more people.

Originally, he had time to shoot in the afternoon, but he went to sell trees, and besides, if he shot in the morning, he might be more energetic and not tired from working for most of the day.

"Really? Brother Mingcheng, you are so good! Gao Zhuang was the first person to be happy, he looked at He Xiuman, and said: "I said before that I would take you to the county to take pictures, but you have to go!" Okay now, Brother Mingcheng can shoot for us! ”

"Grandma, you haven't taken a picture yet!"

Gao Zhuang's cheerful voice made Grandma Xi and He Xiuman also look forward to it.

At this time, taking pictures is a new thing in the countryside.

Gao Mingcheng saw that they were happy, and he was very happy in his heart, in this life, Gao Zhuang and Grandma Xi could be safe and happy, and he was satisfied.

Gao Mingcheng said: "Gao Zhuang, then you have to put on the best clothes!" When the time comes, we'll take a few shots in this house, and then we'll go to the village to take a few shots. ”

He wants to record the people and scenes of 87 years with his lens.

In another year or two, the houses in the village will be torn down and rebuilt, and the appearance of the village will be very different.

And now this somewhat dilapidated mountain village will completely disappear from memory.

Memories are like a picture scroll, bright colors at first, but as time washes away, the strokes will blur and the colors will fade.

And recording it with the camera will keep this memory longer and more fulfilling.

He planned to go to the county at eight o'clock tomorrow, so he made an appointment with Gao Zhuang and them to come to take pictures at seven o'clock in the morning. In the summer, people in the village usually get up at six o'clock, and the elderly who have little sleep may get up at five o'clock.

"Okay, Brother Mingcheng, we're waiting for you to come!" Gao Zhuang was excited like a fool, waving goodbye to Gao Mingcheng's departing back.

After Gao Mingcheng left, he took He Xiuman's hand and hurriedly said, "Xiuman, go and find out my best clothes!" ”

Since marrying his wife, He Xiuman's clothes have been cleaned up by He Xiuman.

He Xiuman pursed her lips and smiled, and led Gao Zhuang to find clothes.

Grandma Xi also smiled and returned to her room, and began to rummage through the cabinets, well, she also had to pick the best clothes to wear!

Gao Mingcheng left in style, but left three people who were full of expectations for this, and for the three of them, it was the first time to take pictures.
