Zhou Bin saw that the two looked panicked and asked hurriedly, "Professor Chen, what happened?"
Professor Chen said nervously, "Mr. Zhou, this is bad. My seedlings have been stolen!"
Zhou Bin was stunned: "What seedling?"
Liu Qianmao said hurriedly: "These are Professor Chen's most precious seedlings!"
Zhou Bin was a little surprised: "Is it the honey cherry tomato?"
"Yes! It took a lot of effort to grow it to this size. If it dies, all our efforts will be wasted." Professor Chen's words were full of heartache.
Zhou Bin immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. This was Professor Chen’s hard work and the hope of their village.
So Zhou Bin immediately asked, "President Liu, what's going on? Have you looked for him?"
Liu Qianmao said apologetically, "Boss, it's all my fault. I didn't ask anyone to take good care of the nursery, which led to this incident."
Zhou Bin waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Have you sent someone to look for him?"
Liu Qianmao immediately replied: "We have sent people to look for him, but he has not been found yet."
Professor Chen said distressedly: "The seedlings are so precious. If they get frozen, they probably won't survive."
Seeing that Professor Chen was very anxious, Zhou Bin quickly invited the two of them to sit down in the house.
Zhou Bin then consoled him, "Professor Chen, don't worry. We have sent someone to look for him. We should have news soon."
Liu Qianmao also comforted him: "Professor Chen, it's all my fault for not doing my job well. I should be able to find him soon. Don't worry."
Several people sat in the room waiting anxiously. After more than ten minutes, the team leader, Lao Zhang, ran in.
The workers in the greenhouse are divided into different groups according to different division of labor. Lao Zhang is the team leader of the fertilization group.
When Liu Qianmao saw him coming, he asked hurriedly, "How's it going? Any news?"
Lao Zhang said, "Boss, we looked around and found that Chen Bin from our group is missing. I don't know where he went now."
When Zhou Bin heard this, he immediately asked, "Are all the others here? Only he is missing?"
Lao Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, we haven't seen him since we found Miaozi missing."
Zhou Bin stood up and said, "Then this Chen Bin is very suspicious!"
Professor Chen could no longer sit still, and he immediately said, "I'll go find him and ask him why he stole my seedlings!"
When Zhou Bin saw Professor Chen was so anxious, he comforted him, "Professor Chen, don't worry. Let's find out the situation. I will personally accompany you to find it."
With Zhou Bin's comfort, Professor Chen's mood improved a little.
Then he asked, "Uncle Zhang, what kind of person is Chen Bin?"
Lao Zhang replied: "This kid is an honest kid and works very hard. I didn't expect him to steal things!"
Zhou Bin pondered for a moment: "Since he is usually pretty good, why would he steal these seedlings? They can't be sold for money."
Professor Chen said anxiously: "We can't wait any longer, we have to find him quickly, otherwise the seedlings will freeze to death and be ruined."
When Zhou Bin saw that the situation was urgent, he immediately drove and took Professor Chen and Liu Qianmao to Chen Bin's home.
I heard that his home is in Chenjia Village, near the county town, which is about an hour's drive from their village.
Because it had just snowed, they didn't dare drive too fast. It took them an hour and a half to reach Chenjia Village.
As soon as Zhou Bin arrived at the village entrance, he found that the village was a bit shabby and there were only a few decent houses in the entire village.
The road in the village is still paved with gravel and has some potholes.
According to the address Lao Zhang told them, several people finally arrived at the door of Chen Bin's house.
Several people got out of the car quickly, and happened to see an old man squatting at the door next to them, smoking.
Zhou Bin hurriedly asked, "Uncle, is this Chen Bin's home?"
The old man nodded: "Yes, this is Chen Bin's home, who are you?"
Liu Qianmao said: "We are colleagues from his cooperative and we have something to ask him."
The old man heard: "Oh, you are from the Beiyuan Village Tomato Cooperative? I have heard of you."
Zhou Bin hurriedly asked, "Uncle, is Chen Bin at home?"
The old man said in surprise: "Isn't he working for you? I didn't see him come back."
When several people heard this, they looked at each other in confusion. Where did this kid go?
The old man asked, "Why are you looking for him? Is he in trouble?"
Zhou Bin quickly said, "No, no, I just have something to do."
The old man nodded: "That's good, his family is a miserable family, if he gets into trouble, his mother will die!"
Professor Chen was a little curious: "Old man, what do you think happened to his family?"
The old man sighed: "He only has his mother left at home. She is still paralyzed on the kang, with bad legs and feet. Her life is not easy."
Zhou Bin understood that this man was also from a poor family, but why did he steal things?
