The shops on the street are self-operated, and the days they choose to open after the New Year are also different, such as those selling New Year's goods and firecrackers, which are open on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Most of the rest of the shops opened on the sixth and eighth days of the Lunar New Year.

Gao Mingcheng's clothing store was late and chose to open on the ninth day of the new year, and on the morning of the ninth day of the new year, Gao Shufang and Zhang Jinling cleaned the clothing store and waited for the guests to come to buy.

Gao Mingcheng was checking the ledger and inventory, and found that he had sold a lot of goods a year ago, and this year it was cold, and business was quite good.

After reading the account book, Gao Mingcheng remembered that he hadn't met Huang Dazhi after the New Year, so after talking to many beauties, Gao Mingcheng went to the police station, and the police officers also started to work at this time.

After finding Huang Dazhi, Gao Mingcheng naturally chatted with Huang Dazhi about Du Hongyu's revenge, although he had heard it from Gao Guobing's mouth, but in different mouths, there may be different versions, that is, the details are different.

Others will be ruddy after a year, not to mention two pounds of weight, at least they will have a ruddy complexion, Huang Dazhi is different, his dark circles are almost comparable to giant pandas!

If you want Huang Dazhi to say, it is too tired to spend this Spring Festival!

After getting the news, he sent his wife back to her parents' house, for fear that he would accidentally hurt his wife and children.

As soon as Luo Li left, Huang Dazhi's time was basically spent on work, so he was really tired enough.

"This Spring Festival, I only had two days off, went to my father-in-law's house for a day to visit the New Year, and went back to my parents' house for a day to visit the New Year, but I was tired miserably. But now, even though I'm working, I don't need to go to the field. In the end, Huang Dazhi is still happy.

In fact, it's not just him who is tired, but everyone else.

But I solved a crisis and got a huge credit, and I was generally happy.

Huang Dazhi smiled again and said: "By the way, the Gao Bureau has come to me and said that I will rest for two days, and then I will go to Yongqiao Labor Camp and let me talk to Shi Laosan, and the Gao Bureau said that is the idea you gave?" Ming Cheng, your idea is really powerful, even if Shi Laosan didn't betray Du Hongyu, he could disgust them! ”

Gao Mingcheng smiled.

After the court trial, Shi Laosan was indeed imprisoned.

However, it is said that they are locked up in prison, but they are actually detained in labor camps, so prisoners who enter prison are called labor camps.

When they heard about the labor camp, they were going to work, and there were tea mountains and large rice fields, so the male prisoners planted rice and the female prisoners picked tea.

After chatting with Huang Dazhi for a while, Gao Mingcheng left the police station and prepared to find Maozi.

Last time, when he went to play billiards with Gao Yue, an idea suddenly germinated, and now that the year has passed, he can implement this idea.

When he found Maozi, Maozi was gossiping with people, and three or five young men got together and talked happily.

However, as soon as Gao Mingcheng came, Mao Zi extinguished the cigarette, and the rest of the young people also said goodbye and left one after another.

Gao Mingcheng didn't rush to speak, but stood at the door of Maozi's house and looked around.

He'd been here a few times, but he hadn't taken a good look at the environment.

It's a little bit remote from the main street, but there are quite a few people living here, and there are all kinds of people from all walks of life.

Looking at Maozi's house again, although Maozi bought new tiles and renovated the roof after making money, it is still relatively dilapidated.

Such a house is colder to live in in winter.

"Brother Mingcheng." Mao Zi saw him looking everywhere and didn't speak, so he couldn't help but take the initiative to shout.

Gao Mingcheng came back to his senses, and then said: "Maozi, I'm going to let you see a billiards field, what do you think?" ”

"Playing billiards? I will! "Maozi has nothing to do on weekdays, often walks the streets and alleys, and there are not many serious things, but there are quite a lot of miscellaneous things.

"If you know how to play billiards, that's even better. If you were asked to open the show, what position do you think would be a good choice? Gao Mingcheng asked.

Throughout the nineties, the billiard room was quite popular.

In the time when there is no Internet, if young people want to have fun, then of course the first choice is the three-bedroom apartment!

Gao Mingcheng picked and chose among the three rooms and one living room, thinking that the billiards room could be done and something else, he was afraid that he would think a lot about it, and he was afraid that the children would learn badly in the future.

Although billiards is discriminated against, it is also a serious form of sport.

Mao Zi really thought about it, in fact, there are also billiard tables in the county now, but the number is relatively small, and most of them are open-air.

After a while, Mao Zi said: "If you want to build a billiard room, you don't need to be in a shop on the street, just put a few tables in a crowded place, such as near the factory, where there are many people, and you can also come to play a dozen balls after work." ”

"Or maybe I'm here, I'm familiar with the people here, if I build a billiards room, they will definitely come to cheer, besides, two miles away from me, there is a high school! There are also some young men who like to play billiards. ”

The high school that Mao Zi said, Gao Mingcheng also knows, is a relatively poor high school, the admission rate is very average, many people just mix high Chinese.

But such high school students will indeed be attracted by the billiard room, which can be regarded as a hidden user group.

Gao Mingcheng nodded, as the saying goes, it is better to be raw than cooked, in fact, he also prefers to build a billiard room here.

The billiards room is a place to play ball, and it is true that you don't have to choose a store on the street, which is expensive, whether you rent or buy, it is not very cost-effective.

Gao Mingcheng looked at Maozi and said his plan: "Maozi, your house is a few years old, and it usually leaks wind and rain." Do you have the money to rebuild a building? If you fix it, rent me the first floor, and you can live in the second floor. Then I'll ask you to watch the show for me, how about it? ”

Maozi's face was happy at first, and then collapsed again.

He sighed and thought to himself, if I have the money to repair the house, then I don't need to rent the first floor to you, I can directly build a billiard room by myself!

But society is like that, without productive capital, you can only work for others.

Mao Zi said: "Brother Mingcheng, I don't have the money to build a house. I originally got a batch of goods, but it's a pity that I ...... By the way, Brother Mingcheng, in two days, I plan to go to the next county, I have to inquire and see what happened to the monkey, whether he was locked up or escaped. ”

Maozi once fantasized that the monkey had also escaped, but now it is the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, and the monkey still hasn't returned!

Therefore, the possibility of the monkey escaping is not very likely.

Because the monkey didn't come back, the monkey's mother and sister didn't have a good year, so they begged Maozi to go over there to inquire about the situation.

Maozi was also worried about the monkeys, and even if he was at risk of being exposed, he still agreed to go over and inquire about the situation.

Mao Zi is righteous, and Gao Mingcheng is somewhat appreciative.

If he is not righteous, he should be on guard.

Since Maozi had no money to build a house, Gao Mingcheng said the second plan.

"Maozi, I still have a plan, that is, I will pay for you to build a house, and then the first floor is mine, the second floor is yours, and the land is also yours, do you think it's okay?"

As soon as he heard this plan, Mao Zi's heart beat rapidly, God, can he live in a new house?

But Mao Zi has been in the society for a long time, and although he was moved, he still considered it and didn't answer immediately.

Although he subconsciously thought that Gao Mingcheng would not cheat him, he still had to think about it, and he also wanted to discuss it with his friends to see if he could agree.

Gao Mingcheng didn't expect him to agree, but said, "Don't you still want to inquire about the monkey?" Wait until you come back from the next county, and then tell me the answer. If it does, after the beginning of spring, we will have to buy wood, bricks, and reinforced concrete, and prepare to start construction. ”

Mao Zi became more and more moved when he heard this, his cheeks flushed with excitement, and he nodded again and again and said, "Brother Mingcheng, I will think about it carefully, and when I come back, I will go to you immediately." ”

"Okay." After Gao Mingcheng said this, he was ready to go back.

Investing in Maozi's construction of a house is not his kindness.

Nowadays, if you have timber in the village, it costs about 5,000 to build a two-story house, and in the county, it will be a little more expensive, but it can also be controlled within 8,000.

The land of Maozi's house, the house plus the small platform in front of the house, has about two points of land, that is, about one hundred and thirty-three square meters.

Note that this is the square area that is not pooled.

That is to say, after the house is built, the usable area in the house will definitely be one hundred and twenty square meters, as long as five square meters are spent to build a bathroom, the rest of the area can be used to set up a pool table.

And because the first floor is empty, only a few load-bearing columns are needed, which saves a lot of bricks and cement costs.

As for the second floor, it doesn't have to be too complicated to build, just the popular three-room room, plus a balcony and bathroom.

Therefore, the overall cost is not much, and the first floor belongs to him, which can be used as a billiard room, and from now on, when there is an Internet, he can always make a lot of money.

After that, if the billiard room business is good, it can be kept open, if it is not good, it can also be rented to others for warehouse use, and if Maozi is rich and wants to spend money to buy the first floor, then it can also be sold to him.

In short, Gao Mingcheng felt that this business was not a loss.

As for Maozi, he didn't lose anything, he made a lot of money! You don't have to spend a penny to live in a new house and get a job!

Collecting old things is not a long-term solution after all, and Maozi used to sell protected animals, which was on the edge of the law, and the risk factor was very great.

Gao Mingcheng felt that Mao Zi would agree nine times out of ten, but he was not in a hurry, now that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has not yet passed, there is still snow on the ground, and there will be a snow from time to time, and it is not possible to start construction if you want to.

When Gao Mingcheng went to talk to Maozi, Deng Wanwan came to the door, she came to tell Gao Mingcheng one thing, it turned out that Wang Xun's mother fell yesterday, and when she wrestled, she subconsciously supported her body with her hands, and then caused a broken wrist.

Because it was a comminuted fracture, the situation was more serious, and the county doctor recommended that he be sent to the provincial capital for surgery.

Deng Wanwan said: "Early this morning, Ah Xun took my mother-in-law to the provincial capital to see a doctor, it is not easy to buy a train ticket at this time, and there are people everywhere on the car, so he rented a car to go." Originally, after the Lantern Festival, I was going to go to the capital, but now my mother-in-law is injured, and it is not good to leave immediately, but my mother-in-law has undergone surgery, and the recovery is almost complete, and Ah Xun can leave with confidence. ”

"I'm here to tell you, if Brother Ming Cheng is in a hurry to go to the capital, then he will go first, if he is not in a hurry, just wait for us."

Although Gao Mingcheng is not here, many words can be answered for him: "This is far away, it is better for everyone to go together, Mingcheng is not in a hurry to go, this winter, if he doesn't want to go with you, he may want to go back later." ”

Hearing this, Deng Wanwan was also relieved.

But because her mother-in-law and Wang Xun were not at home, her new daughter-in-law was also very busy, she had to take care of the family's eating, drinking, and Lazar, and she also had to have a good relationship with her two stepsons and stepdaughters in advance, so she didn't stay long and went home in a hurry.

Looking at the back of her leaving, Gao Shufang thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Actually, Wanwan is not easy, although Wang Xun has a little money, but Wanwan is so young and beautiful, this marriage has passed, she has not given birth to a child, and she has to take care of her stepson and stepdaughter first." ”

She frowned and thought about it, and then said, "I don't want to be a stepmother!" ”

Many beauties smiled and said, "Who is going to let you be a stepmother?" Even if you want to, your second brother will have to break your legs! As for Wanwan, Wanwan is happy with herself! ”

Gao Shufang didn't know Deng Wanwan's past, so in her opinion, Deng Wanwan's marriage to Wang Xun was a big loss.

But Gao Mingcheng and many beauties knew, and Deng Wanwan also told them that after Wang Xun knew her past, she still decided to marry her, and was willing to bring her parents to the capital to live.

Just imagine, what is Deng Wanwan's pity about marrying such a man?

In short, everyone has their own fate!

Speaking of this, Duo Mei said again: "Your second brother said that in two days he will call a few young people to the store to buy clothes, and when the time comes, you will take a closer look to see if there is anything you like, if there is something you like, your second brother will find someone to ask." ”

"It's the New Year, you're not young, when you went to your parents' house to visit the New Year on the first day of the new year, your parents still mentioned it, I think they blame Mingcheng for not caring to introduce people to you."

"By the way, I'm going to give you more vacation this year, you can go outside more and make some friends."

Many beautiful words were said in a row, and after finishing speaking, Gao Shufang's cheeks were already flushed.

Unmarried girls are always shy when they hear about their blind dates.

Gao Shufang nodded, indicating that she would take a closer look.

It's not that she doesn't have a fancy at all, it's just that sometimes she takes a fancy to the other party, but the other party doesn't like her, and sometimes the other party takes a fancy to him, and she doesn't take a fancy to the other party.

Marriage is quite fateful.

Two days have passed.

This morning, several young men came in the store, and Li Fei came in with the men.

As soon as Li Fei came in, he smiled and said, "Ming Cheng, these are my colleagues, and one is my colleague's cousin, they all plan to come to you to buy a new dress, you have to get a discount!" ”

Gao Mingcheng said magnificently: "Even if you choose, it will definitely be cheaper than you go elsewhere to buy!" ”

At the same time, Gao Mingcheng handed Gao Shufang a look, signaling that she could observe these men carefully.

Li Fei is Zhao Dongmei's future daughter-in-law, although she has not yet passed the door, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along well, and Li Fei has also helped Gao Mingcheng, and the two sides have some contacts and friendships.

This time, it was Zhao Dongmei who asked Li Fei to gather the single male teachers in the school and bring them to the clothing store in the name of discounts that acquaintances can give, so that Gao Shufang could take a closer look.

If Gao Shufang has a fancy, let Li Fei test the male teacher's tone, and if both parties are moved, they can arrange a time to meet and date.
