Chapter 523: The Chen Family's Dilemma
The day of departure was a good day, the morning glow filled the sky, the blue sky and white clouds, and the autumn was high and refreshing.
Gao Mingcheng sat in the driver's seat and was responsible for driving, and the two Chen Duofu brothers sat in the co-pilot.
Chen Duoxi followed Gao Mingcheng out of the house before, but he was in a jeep at that time, and now he is sitting in a truck, and his vision is instantly different, which brings him a lot of novel experiences.
When the truck was driving on the country road, Gao Mingcheng saw his own field from a distance.
A few days ago, there was a heavy rain, which caused many rice fields to fall down a little, but after a few days of good weather, it will not be seriously damaged.
In his field, in the southeast corner, a small patch of rice also fell down, and the ears were full and ready for harvest.
Although it is only early in the morning, there are already villagers who have gone down to work in the field with sickles, and the rice is not ripe in large patches, but depends on the morning and evening of planting, and the amount of fertilizer, some people's rice matures early, and needs to be harvested early, while some people's rice will mature a few days later.
Gao Mingcheng's field will be a few days late, because Zhang Chengyuan will harvest his own rice and then harvest it for Gao Mingcheng, and when he comes back from the camphor tree, his yard will be covered with golden rice.
The joy of a bumper grain harvest always makes people happy from the bottom of their hearts, even if Gao Mingcheng can buy a lot of rice with the money he earns in a day, he still values his field and doesn't want it to be barren.
Because land gives people a sense of security.
Chen Duoxi sat by the window, he stretched his hand out of the window, feeling the feeling of the wind blowing in the palm of his hand, he said with a smile: "Brother Mingcheng, if I can also drive, how good it would be!" When the time comes, I really want to run all over the country! ”
Chen Duoxi's words amused Gao Mingcheng.
He has not run the whole country in two lifetimes!
In his previous life, he traveled everywhere and indeed went to many places, but the land area is too large, and there are very few people who can run the whole country.
But Chen Duoxi's idea was still very good, Gao Mingcheng didn't hit him, but said: "You are still young, one day you will be able to run all over the country." You want to learn to drive, don't you? Then you and Brother Ling change positions, you sit next to me and see how I drive, you watch it a few more times, look at it first, and when the road conditions are good, I will let you get started. ”
Chen Duoxi was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly changed positions with his brother Chen Duofu, but he also shook his head again and again in fear, and said, "Brother Mingcheng, I don't dare to drive!" ”
It's not that Chen Duoxi is timid, but Chen Duoxi is afraid of breaking the car.
If the car is damaged, he can't afford to sell it!
Gao Mingcheng thought for a while and said, "Then you look first, and when I go back, I will find time to teach you to drive a tractor first." ”
This is good, Chen Duoxi immediately smiled and thanked him.
Chen Duoxi is willing to be motivated, and Gao Mingcheng is also willing. When the yield of fruit trees in Xiaofushan comes up, every time the fruit trees are ripe, he needs to transport the fruits to the county, if he needs to go to Yangcheng to buy goods at that time, or have other things to do, it will be very inconvenient.
Therefore, he plans to train Chen Duoxi, and when the peaches are ripe next year, he will buy another tractor, and when the time comes, he will leave a tractor to be placed in Niuweiling, and let Chen Duoxi be responsible for transporting fruits, eggs, and vegetables to the county.
He thought so, and said so to Chen Duoxi.
And said, "If you agree, I will pay you a salary when you work next year." ”
Chen Duoxi was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.
Chen Duofu listened to it next to him, and he was also happy for his younger brother, and when he waited for next year, there would be three people in the family who would get their salaries, and then their family's life would be better and better.
Chen Duofu was looking forward to it, but his younger brother broke his big news.
"Brother Mingcheng, when I wait for next year, I may have a sister-in-law! A while ago, someone told my brother about matchmaking! Chen Duoxi said with a smile.
"Women should get married, men should get married, Duofu is about the same age as me, it's time to get married. Duofu, do you have a fancy for the other party? Gao Mingcheng said jokingly.
Chen Duofu was a little shy, and said in a low voice: "I'...... I think it's okay. ”
I just met on a blind date, Chen Duofu only felt that the other party looked okay, and he didn't hate each other, as for more, he couldn't say it.
Gao Mingcheng thought for a while and said: "The honey in the beehive has just been cut, and it will not be busy in a short time, so let's wait for you to come back from the camphor tree, if you are interested, go to the other party's side and walk around, and if you come and go, you will have feelings." ”
Chen Duofu became even more shy, and his eyes flickered.
He lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "My house is not very good, I'm afraid that the other party won't look down on me." Originally, my parents said that when they were next year, they would see if they could burn bricks to build a house. But if the bride price is given for marriage, there will be no money to build a house. ”
It's a dilemma.
Originally, the life of the Chen family was very ordinary, but after Gao Mingcheng called their father and son to work for him, the life of the Chen family improved, and after a year, they also saved a small amount of money.
If you burn the bricks yourself and then go to the mountains to cut down the trees yourself, then the cost of building a house will be much lower, and by next year, it should be able to be built.
But the bride price here is indeed relatively high, the common one is 680 yuan, and the higher ones are more than 1,000 yuan.
There are also those that are less than 680 yuan, but either the woman has some problems, or the woman's family is particularly poor.
Chen Duofu has a good appearance and good health, so naturally he will not marry a problematic woman.
The Chen family is very worried about this. But for Gao Mingcheng, the matter of money is not a matter!
He immediately said: "You don't have to worry about the money for building a house and the bride price, I can advance my salary to you first." ”
By next year, the Chen family, father and son, will work for him, so the money is not borrowed, but directly advanced wages.
Chen Duofu was stunned, but he didn't expect Gao Mingcheng's words to easily solve their family's problems!
Even if he was not in a hurry to get married, Chen Duofu sincerely thanked him: "Mingcheng, thank you." ”
"Brother Mingcheng, you are so nice!" Chen Duoxi also praised Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng laughed and began to explain to Chen Duoxi the role of some things in the car, such as what the steering wheel does, what the clutch, brake and accelerator do, under what circumstances you need to step on the clutch brake to change gears, under what circumstances you need to step on the accelerator lightly, and under what circumstances you need to step on the accelerator heavily.
For example, walk the sand in a hurry and walk in the water slowly. It is up to the driver to judge the road environment and choose whether to press the accelerator hard or lightly.
……
Along the way, Chen Duoxi studied very seriously, and even Chen Duofu watched it seriously.
They learn to look at the road conditions, learn to look at the inverted mirror, and along the way, their minds are focused on learning, and even the scenery on the roadside cannot attract their attention.
