Chapter 5 Building Railways

"Second brother, you're back." Gao Mingwan muttered, obviously afraid that Gao Mingcheng would be angry.

Gao Mingcheng glanced at Gao Mingwanzang's hand behind his back, his face gloomy.

But before he opened his mouth, his eldest brother Gao Mingpeng had already spoken: "I just read your book for a while, and I don't think it's bad!"

The third brother and the fourth brother also nodded vigorously in agreement.

But Gao Mingcheng's face was still gloomy. It had not been a day since he was reborn, and the events of his previous life were already a bit far away for him.

He probably knew that when he was young, he was a careless person who didn't care much about many things. He was also very loyal and would often suffer small losses.

But now his vision and structure are different. He found that some losses can be suffered, but some losses cannot be suffered.

For example, this book is not a precious thing. As long as you take good care of it, it will not be damaged. But when he was young, he really treasured this book. Every time he turned it over, he would smooth the pages and put them away.

The innermost part of the cabinet.

Now the third brother and the fourth brother took out the book without his consent. If he sincerely apologized, the matter would be forgotten, but this is obviously not the case.

The third brother's first reaction was to hide the book, and the eldest brother used his status as the eldest brother to teach him a lesson before he even opened his mouth.

It had been a long time, and Gao Mingcheng recalled it for a few seconds before he remembered the situation of this book.

In June this year, he took his mats at home to a nearby county to sell them, and then saw a copy of "Shaolin Martial Arts Secrets" at the market. He has loved fighting since he was a child. After watching "Shaolin Temple"

After watching the movie, I became even more curious and yearning for martial arts.

So when he saw the book, he couldn't move.

Finally, I bought the book with the money from selling mats.

Of course, he was lectured by his parents for using family money to buy books without permission, but he was also a proud and arrogant person, so he caught fish for several days in a row, took advantage of the market to sell them, and then

I returned the money I spent to buy books to my family.

In other words, this book is completely his personal property.

Moreover, this book will be borrowed by my sister-in-law next year. She said that a brother from her mother's family was also curious about martial arts and wanted to borrow it. However, she later told him that the book had been burned by a naughty child and there was nothing that could be done about it.

Gave it back to him.

He was a little sad at the time, but the book had been burned and there was nothing he could do about it.

Then his eldest brother said that he had read the book for a long time anyway and had memorized the movements in it. Since the book was burned, forget it.

In other words, no money was lost.

At that time, he felt unhappy, but he couldn't lose face. After having a drink invited by his elder brother, he let the matter go.

These things went through Gao Mingcheng's mind. He walked up to his third brother with a sullen face. He said nothing and only extended his hand.

Gao Mingwan raised his eyes and looked at him carefully, then returned the book in his hand to Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng lowered his head and glanced at the book in his hand, feeling lucky to have found it again.

He was reborn, and he would never lose many things he had lost before!

Putting the book back into the cabinet, Gao Mingcheng found a corner and began to deal with the small miscellaneous fish he brought back.

He gave the best and biggest ones to Grandma Xi, and what he kept for himself were some small wild fish.

After handling the fish, he cleaned the fish and brought it to the kitchen for his mother to cook.

From the moment he walked in until now, he hasn't said a word.

It's not that I'm angry, it's that I don't know what to say.

In his previous life, because he made money and was willing to spend money generously for his brothers and sisters, everyone fawned over him and pleased him.

Even if he doesn't say anything, there will be good topics to talk about.

But now, he is completely broke.

And he doesn’t even plan to get the first pot of gold!

In his previous life, he made his first pot of gold by robbing tombs. Then he got on the train of reform and opening up, started a business, and made a lot of money.

However, he is personally unlucky.

He lost his best brother, he lost his wife, he lost his son, and in old age he lost his health.

After his rebirth, he attributed all of this to tomb robbing and damaging his moral character.

That's why he decided to take a different path in this life.

He stayed quietly in the corner, observing his family calmly.

Then I realized clearly that before I developed, I had no sense of existence in this family.

After his father Gao Yuanyuan finished smoking, he talked to his eldest brother Gao Mingpeng and talked about some things to do tomorrow. The third brother and the fourth brother talked next to each other, and no one paid him any attention.

"It's time for dinner!" A shout came from the kitchen, and people sitting in the yard walked towards the kitchen one after another.

The kitchen was very simple and the table was not big enough to accommodate so many people, so except for his mother, his father and his brother, everyone else was used to picking up the food and taking it out to the yard to eat.

The meals were very simple. Except for a plate of miscellaneous fish that Gao Mingcheng brought back, the rest were all vegetarian dishes, including pickles and home-grown vegetables.

While we were eating, a man suddenly walked in from outside. This man was about forty years old. He was wearing a white shirt that was stained yellow by sweat, and a pair of faded blue trousers underneath. The trouser legs were rolled up to his knees.

He is wearing a pair of Jiefang shoes, which is the most common dress in their village.

His skin was dark and there were wrinkles on his face, as if he had suffered a lot.

"Mom, brother!" As soon as he entered the door, a loud voice sounded in the yard.

Gao Mingcheng looked around and recognized the person.

This is one of his cousins ​​who lives next to his house and often comes to visit.

We were all old acquaintances, and when someone came, they were not polite. Gao Yuan said hello and asked him if he had eaten and if he would like some at home.

This is obviously a polite word. In the past few years, every household had to tighten their stomachs and not have enough to eat. Now, although they can barely eat enough, there is not much food, and the vegetables lack oil and water. Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to eat at other people's homes.

.

"Fengmao is here, Shufang, bring a stool for your uncle!" Gao Mingcheng's grandmother, the eldest in the family, instructed Gao Mingcheng's younger sister to bring a stool.

Gao Fanmao sat down and began to talk about the new news he had learned.

"The railway at Junling Railway Station is about to start construction! A few days ago, I saw someone measuring there. When I passed by there today, I saw that the open space was filled with stones, sleepers and cement. I knew it.

, this railway is finally going to start construction!”

After hearing these words, Gao Yuan's eyes lit up. He knew what the start of railway construction meant, so he quickly asked: "Are we hiring people to work on it?"

"Hiring! Strong laborers who can carry the stone, two yuan and ninety-one days!" Gao Fanmao smiled with wrinkles on his face. They had already heard about the railway construction in Junling, but the construction had not started yet.
Chapter completed!
