Chapter 387 The clothing store was robbed
When Gao Mingcheng returns to Gaojia Village, he first shakes the honey, then takes care of the vegetables in the fields, and finally removes the dead vines of watermelons and pear melons, and turns the soil, waiting to plant vegetables in autumn and winter.
There are seasonal vegetables all year round. When the planting season comes, people will start working diligently.
Gao Mingcheng plans to plant rapeseed on this piece of land this year. Rapeseed can be planted in spring and autumn, and now is the best time to plant it in autumn.
If you sow and plant now, large fields of rapeseed flowers will bloom in early spring next year. Rapeseed is also an important nectar plant, and can supplement the nectar source for bees when there are not many flowers in early spring.
Moreover, when rapeseed is tender, the leaves can be eaten, and the rapeseed can be used to extract oil. It is a crop that many people in Gaojia Village choose to grow.
Gao Mingcheng came back alone and had to eat all his meals at his grandmother's house for the past few days. On the day he arrived at the Junling Old Market, he specially went to buy a lot of pork and snacks.
That day, as soon as he entered his grandmother's house, he smelled the scent of grass. Some green grass was being simmered on the small stove in the kitchen.
Gao Mingcheng took a look and said to Grandma Xi, "Grandma Xi, what you are boiling is Bidens pilosa, right?"
"Well, I feel a little feverish today and I'll be fine after drinking some Bidens pilosa soup." said the grandmother, busy cutting vegetables with her hands.
Gao Mingcheng walked up and touched the grandmother's forehead. Although it was a little hot, it was not obvious, probably around 37 degrees.
As Gao Mingcheng collected and sold medicine in the village, the villagers had the corresponding knowledge of herbs and knew what to eat when they were not feeling well. Otherwise, although some people knew it before, not everyone knew it.
This knowledge saves us a lot of money on medical treatment and medicine.
"Grandma, let me cook." Gao Mingcheng said, preparing to light the fire and wash the pot.
Grandma Xi said quickly: "How can I ask you to cook? You have been busy all day, go and take a rest!"
While the two were talking, He Xiuman, who had just fed Xiao Yuanyuan, came in and said with a smile, "Stop arguing, I'll cook! Grandma, you and Mingcheng go sit in the yard and have a rest!"
Seeing her granddaughter-in-law coming, the grandmother stopped arguing, smiled and gave way, and left the kitchen with Gao Mingcheng.
Xiao Yuanyuan was born on New Year's Eve. She is more than seven months old now and can sit up. There is a large straw mat in the courtyard, and Xiao Yuanyuan sits on it and plays.
"Come on, Yuanyuan, keep climbing!" Gao Zhuang cheered Yuanyuan on like a child.
Yuanyuan doesn’t quite know how to crawl yet, but she has already started to learn and can climb up a few times.
After Gao Mingcheng and Xi Nainai came out of the kitchen, they also joined the crowd teasing Yuanyuan. The three of them stood in different positions, each of them trying to tempt Yuanyuan to crawl to their side.
Gao Mingcheng didn't spend much time with Yuanyuan, naturally not as much as Gao Zhuang and Xi Nainai, but he also had a way, which was to take out a piece of biscuit.
"Yuanyuan, come to your uncle and I'll give you some biscuits!" The delicious biscuits were right in front of her, forcing Yuanyuan to deviate from her original direction of crawling towards Gao Zhuang and crawl towards Gao Mingcheng.
She crawled very slowly, as if she was moving.
But the charm of cookies is still very great. With Yuanyuan's persistence, she finally got the cookie!
"Yuanyuan is awesome!" Gao Mingcheng praised with a smile.
When busy, he sweats in the fields; when free, he plays with the children to relieve boredom.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
If Gao Mingcheng was not in good physical condition and worked quickly and well, he would not have been able to finish so much farm work. He only finished planting the rapeseed seeds on the day he was leaving.
Rapeseed needs to be transplanted after 20 days of seedling cultivation, but Gao Mingcheng does not plan to do so. He just sprinkles the seeds and when the rapeseed seedlings grow out, he can eat and pull them out at the same time. He can pull out the dense and short seedlings and fry them, and the rest will continue to stay on the ground and grow vigorously.
On the evening of the third day, he closed the door, said goodbye to the two dogs, and Gao Mingcheng took some vegetables and some autumn clothes and headed for the county town.
The breeze on his face and the sunset glow were a natural scene that made him feel good, but he met Huang Dazhi halfway.
Huang Dazhi rode the police bicycle, pedaling so fast that the wheels seemed to be flying.
He bent his body slightly to resist the resistance of the wind, hoping to reach his destination faster.
From a distance, the two saw each other. At this time, Gao Mingcheng did not know the seriousness of the matter. He only thought that Huang Dazhi might have encountered some emergency and needed to rush home.
He was also wondering if Xiaoguai was sick?
With this in mind, he slowed down the car and decided that if Xiaoguai was sick, he would turn back and give them a ride on the tractor, otherwise it would be inconvenient to carry the child on a bicycle.
Huang Dazhi also saw him, and a hint of joy flashed across his face. Before he got close, he shouted, "Ming Cheng, something happened in the store!"
Gao Mingcheng's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed rapidly. He also asked loudly, "What happened? Is everyone okay?"
Huang Dazhi had already reached the side of the tractor. He stretched out his foot and stepped on the ground to brake it. He said hurriedly, "Someone robbed the clothing store! Other colleagues in the police station have already gone to chase them. I came here to inform you."
Someone robbed the clothing store!
Gao Mingcheng's brain turned pale for a moment, and then a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
He didn't ask any more questions, quickened the speed and continued driving towards the county.
Huang Dazhi turned the car around and followed.
The tractor's bed was piled high with goods and vegetables, so there was no room for a bicycle and a grown man.
The tractor has a good load capacity and many functions, but it has one problem: it is slow.
Even though Gao Mingcheng drove at the highest speed, it was still so slow that it made him irritable.
If he wasn't afraid of attracting attention, he would have abandoned the car and run away.
He is not bragging, his running speed is no slower than a tractor!
After hurrying all the way, the tractor finally stopped at the Xinxin Clothing Store. In the past, he usually parked in the alley in the backyard, but now he parked directly in front of the store.
After getting out of the car, he rushed to the store.
The store was in a mess, with signs of being smashed and looted, especially on the wooden table at the cash register, there was even a deep knife mark, which, judging by its length and size, must have been caused by an axe.
Gao Shufang and Luo Li were cleaning up in the store. They seemed to have been crying, and their eyes were red.
Gao Mingcheng didn't see much beauty, and he became more and more anxious.
He quickly asked loudly, "Shufang, where is your second sister-in-law?"
Gao Shufang only then saw her second brother coming back. As soon as she saw him, she burst into tears with a feeling of grievance, sobbing and saying, "Second brother, you are finally back! Woohoo... Second sister-in-law is resting in the room upstairs."
Gao Mingcheng didn't bother to ask about the details of the robbery. He quickly ran to the stairs and quickly pushed open the door.
The sound of him opening the door startled Xuanyuemei. Xuanyuemei looked outside the door in panic and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"You...you broke the door lock!" After Xuanyimei realized what was happening, she immediately cursed angrily.
Because of fear, many beauties are locked.
Because there was a lot of cash hidden in the room.
At this moment, banks in different places are not connected to the Internet, and deposits and withdrawals cannot be made in different places, so business people often carry large amounts of cash when they go out.
This also leads to unsafe conditions on the road.
Gao Mingcheng ignored the door lock, staring at Duo Mei with his eyes, and asked with concern: "Duo Mei, are you okay?"
Xuanyuemei felt Gao Mingcheng's concern and felt warm in her heart. She smiled and said, "I'm fine. When the incident happened, I called Shufang and Luo Li to hide upstairs together. We didn't dare to have an open conflict with those people."
Many of the girls were originally aggressive people, but later they learned some basic defensive techniques from Gao Mingcheng. If they had a conflict with someone in the village, they would dare to fight with men.
But it was different now. One reason was that she was pregnant and had difficulty moving. The other was that the group of people were ferocious and rushed in with axes and machetes. She really didn't have the courage to confront them, so she could only hide quickly.
This is also what Gao Mingcheng often told her. If something happens, losing some money is better than someone getting hurt.
In the cashier's drawer of the store downstairs, there are today's entire day's sales and the money prepared for change, which add up to more than two thousand yuan.
After the robbers left, Gao Shufang and Luo Li went downstairs first to clean up. Naturally, there was not a penny left in the drawer. The store was also smashed and even some clothes were lost.
Afterwards, Luo Li quickly ran to the police station to report the incident. When the police heard that it was Director Gao’s nephew’s shop that had been robbed, they were furious and quickly dispatched police to track down the robbers.
Gao Mingcheng was relieved when he was sure that Xuanmei was not injured, and that Gao Shufang and Luo Li were fine.
Having your money robbed is infuriating, but it’s good that no one is hurt.
He said to Xuanmei: "Rest assured, I will take care of this matter."
Xuanyuemei agreed and lay down on the bed peacefully. Although she was not injured, she had some pain in her stomach due to the shock, so she could only lie down to take care of the fetus.
Gao Mingcheng went downstairs, and this time he was in the mood to examine the losses in the store.
