Chapter 6 It’s worth buying
Work is finally starting now!
The railway construction will take several months at least, which is enough for everyone to take advantage of the opportunity to make some money.
"Have you asked clearly? Will we recruit workers tomorrow?" Gao Yuan asked again with a smile.
"Of course I have asked clearly. I can go to work tomorrow. There is not much work in the fields recently. I plan to take my two sons to work on the railway. Brother, what do you think of the arrangements at home? The eldest, second and third sons can also do it.
Go, only the fourth child is a bit young."
Speaking of the fourth child, Gao Yuanyuan said: "School starts in two days, and the fourth child still has to go to school."
"Oh, the fourth child is in the third year of junior high school, right? Are you planning to take the high school entrance examination?" Gao Fanmao was interested in the study situation of the fourth child, Gao Mingli.
The scumbag Gao Mingli smiled sheepishly and hid aside.
Gao Yuanyuan sighed, his family didn't have the seeds for reading, but in order not to become blind, he had to go to school for a few more years. Anyway, the child was young and couldn't do much if he stayed at home.
Of course, when he thought this, he completely forgot that his younger daughter was no longer studying, but stayed at home to help with housework.
In rural areas, everyone generally favors boys over girls.
Gao Mingcheng's four brothers all went to junior high school, but the youngest sister was not allowed to study anymore after she finished elementary school. The reason was that the junior high school was too far away and it was inconvenient for her as a girl to live on campus.
For girls, just finish primary school and learn to read. Anyway, you won’t have to delay doing housework, getting married and having children!
The topic only changed for a moment and then got back on track.
Gao Yuanyuan looked at his sons and said, "It's rare that a money-making job falls on our doorstep. Tomorrow the three of you will follow me to work on the railway!"
Gao Yuanyuan is used to being the master of his own affairs, so he speaks in an imperative tone.
However, the eldest brother Gao Mingpeng and the third brother Gao Mingwan had nothing against this, but Gao Mingwan asked: "Dad, do we keep the wages ourselves?"
The Gao family has not yet been divided. The family's source of income is the millet and agricultural products sold in the fields every year, watermelons in summer, sugar cane in autumn, and some vegetables.
In addition to these, Gao Yuan has other ways to make money. Every year in late autumn, when others start to be idle, Gao Yuan starts to get busy.
Because he can steam wine.
In late autumn, people began to ask him to come to their homes to steam wine. In addition to steaming wine, Gao Yuan also took care of weddings and weddings. With these two things, he could earn as little as a thousand yuan a year and as much as more than two or three thousand yuan.
income.
Because of this, Gao Yuan was able to support his five children and send his four sons to junior high school.
When Gao Yuan heard the third man mentioning the money, Gao Yuan glared at him subconsciously, and Gao Mingwan immediately shrank his head.
Gao Yuanyuan wanted to say that his wages would naturally be paid to his family, but his wife suddenly bumped his arm and motioned him to see his eldest daughter-in-law Huang Su'e with her eyes.
He saw the expectation in his eldest daughter-in-law's eyes.
After a pause for a few seconds, Gao Yuanyuan said: "You eat at home, live at home, which one does not cost money? Besides, you are older now, and the family has to find a wife for you to start a family. All these things are money.
!”
"But, you are old enough after all, and it is inconvenient to have no money. Let's do this. You will take one piece of the two-nine yuan wages, and the rest will be given to your family."
When he heard this, Gao Mingwan looked disappointed and thought there was no chance, but his father was willing to let them keep one dollar for themselves!
Gao Mingwan immediately beamed with joy, and even Gao Mingpeng and his eldest daughter-in-law Huang Su'e also smiled.
Gao Mingcheng remained silent from beginning to end. Although he often caused trouble outside and had a rather carefree personality, he was actually relatively taciturn at home. Because he had always been like this, his family members were used to him being silent and would even ignore his presence.
.
Gao Mingcheng knew about the start of railway construction. In his previous life, he also worked on the railway for a few days, but building the railway was actually a very tiring job, not to mention that the weather is very hot now, and he had to carry stones in the sun on a hot day.
, trimming the ground, mixing cement, etc., at the end of the day, people will be exhausted.
In his previous life, he worked on the railway for three days, and then he met a group of tomb robbers who came to the mountains to check out the site. Later, he got together with the tomb robbers to rob tombs. Afterwards, someone came to collect the things, but he thought the price given was low, so he was cruel
So he took Gao Zhuang to Nanchang to sell it, but when he arrived in Nanchang, he heard that he could sell it at a higher price in Xiangjiang.
After leaving, his life path was completely different from that of the people in the village.
At night, Gao Mingcheng lay in bed unable to sleep for a long time.
The Gao family has a large population, but the house is small. He and his eldest brother used to sleep in the same room, and the third and fourth brothers slept in the small room next to them. However, now that the eldest brother is married, he naturally has to move out, and he is reduced to sleeping with three brothers.
A small house.
Apart from a cabinet, there is only one extra wide bed in the whole house.
It was getting late, there was no entertainment in the countryside, and I couldn't bear to use electricity or kerosene lamps, so I went to bed very early.
The snoring of his third and fourth brothers started to sound, and it became increasingly noisy, making him unable to sleep.
He simply got up and wanted to go to the yard to enjoy the shade, but after thinking about it, he took out the "Shaolin Martial Arts Secrets" from the cabinet.
After his rebirth, he has not read this book carefully.
In fact, after a lifetime of experience, he already knew that this book was not a martial arts secret book, but just some showmanship.
If you want to practice martial arts, you have to be led in by a master.
Every movement, how to exert force, and how to train to achieve the effect, all need to be taught by the master orally, and cannot be learned from just one book.
When he got rich in his previous life, he knew that martial arts also needed to be learned systematically, so he spent a lot of money to hire a master who had won a grand prize in martial arts competitions to teach him.
With the skills he learned, he successfully survived several struggles.
Thinking of the ups and downs of his past life, Gao Mingcheng sighed.
The moonlight is like water. Although there are no lights, the sky is like a wash, and the moonlight can illuminate everything.
But this light is still not enough to support reading.
Gao Mingcheng's family has electricity, but he is reluctant to use it on weekdays. He is only willing to use electricity when using the radio.
He went to find a kerosene lamp as he knew the way around.
Most of them use kerosene lamps here. Kerosene is bought from the cooperative for thirty cents a pound.
After lighting the kerosene lamp, the orange-red flame swayed slightly in the night wind.
Taking advantage of the light, Gao Mingcheng took out the "Shaolin Martial Arts Secrets" and looked through it with nostalgia.
After a lifetime, he actually couldn't remember the contents of this book. Now when he read it again, it was like reading it for the first time, and he felt both familiar and strange at the same time.
After reading through it all, he suddenly realized that the book was actually somewhat interesting.
In his previous life, he was ignorant and didn't understand the essence of martial arts at all. He relied on instinct when fighting. With good physical fitness, quick eyesight and quick hands, he could often win.
When you learn moves from this book, you only learn the moves, but you cannot use these moves in real fights.
But now that he has the foundation he learned from a martial arts master in his previous life, when he reads this book again, he will know how to integrate it and how to use moves to subdue the enemy.
"Hey, this book is worth buying!" Gao Mingcheng showed a smile, a little excited.
Chapter completed!
