On the day of holiday in Gaomingli, Gao Shufang seemed unusually excited. She carried things back and forth and put them into the tractor's shed.
She was really generous. After working in the clothing store for so long, she had a considerable amount of savings. So when she went home this time, she bought a lot of things, including food, drinks and toys.
"Fourth brother, are you okay?" Gao Shufang moved a small stool, stood next to the tractor, and shouted loudly.
"Hey, here I come! Shufang, don't be in a hurry! You have to let me put on my hat and gloves! You can sit in the carport, protected from the wind and rain, but I have to drive and I'm cold!" Gao Mingli complained while quickly putting on gloves and walking towards the tractor.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'll take Shufang home." Gao Mingli sat on the tractor and waved goodbye to Gao Mingcheng and the others.
"Okay! Be careful on the road! When you come back, help me bring back a bag of goods from Uncle Shouwang. I have already called him before." Gao Mingcheng said with a smile while holding Xiao Xuxu.
"Okay!" Gao Mingli agreed immediately, and then said, "Shufang, sit tight, I'm going to drive."
"Okay, I'm sitting tight. Brother and sister-in-law, let's go!" Gao Shufang leaned out from the carport and greeted Gao Mingcheng and the others with a smile.
After watching Gao Mingli and Gao Shufang leave, Gao Mingcheng said to Xuanyuemei: "Shufang has returned to the village. You have worked hard this week."
Xuanyuemei smiled and said, "Why is this so hard? I have already made an agreement with Luo Li that after her third sister takes over, if there is nothing to do at home, we can come to the clothing store together, chat and sell goods together, which is also good."
"By the way, Mingcheng, I heard from the neighbors that a store was robbed a few days ago and a lot of things were stolen. I remember that there are still some building materials that have not been used up at the kindergarten? Be careful not to let them be stolen."
Speaking of kindergarten, Gao Mingcheng hasn't been there for a while.
He immediately said, "Okay, I'll take Xiao Xuxu over there to have a look, and by the way, I'll take him to People's Park to play."
Gao Mingcheng picked up Xiao Xuxu, lifted his palms upwards, and let Xiao Xuxu sit on his shoulders.
After the vision was raised, little Xuxu giggled with joy.
Gao Mingcheng actually prefers playing with Xiao Xuxu rather than staying in the clothing store to sell clothes. As for Hu Yinchen, she will not be idle when she doesn't need to take care of Xiao Xuxu. Now that Gao Shufang is gone, she can take care of the three meals a day, as well as the shopping and cleaning.
Gao Mingcheng brought Xiao Xuxu all the way to the kindergarten.
The kindergarten was completed a long time ago, and the smell is still dissipating. There are some childlike paintings on the walls of the teaching building, and in the yard, there is a cement slide.
Most slides in later generations are made of plastic, but this time, they are made of cement, and the sliding part is painted more finely.
Because this is a kindergarten, they naturally wouldn't build a monotonous cement slide, but instead built an elephant slide that is now quite common in major cities!
The overall shape is that of an elephant. Playful children can climb up the stone stairs at the elephant's tail and then slide down from the elephant's long trunk.
You can also hide under the elephant's belly to cool off and play hide-and-seek. Because it is a double slide, two children can slide down hand in hand, so there are many ways to play.
When little Xuxu saw the elephant sliding on the slide, he showed that he liked it very much. He pointed at the slide excitedly and babbled something unclearly, but the meaning was very clear, he just wanted to go over there and play.
Gao Mingcheng put him on the slide as he wished.
Xiao Xuxu immediately used his hands and feet to lie on it and tried to climb up. Unfortunately, he was small and weak, and the clothes he was wearing were like a ball, so he couldn't do it at all.
But children are easily satisfied and are quite happy just lying there.
Because the child was too young, Gao Mingcheng did not dare to pick him up and just let him crawl and play by himself while he went to check the situation in the kindergarten.
When he discovered that the remaining building materials piled in the back kitchen were missing, he couldn't help but curse!
This thief is too rampant. He stole all the cement, timber and steel bars!
It's also his fault that he hasn't been here for a while. Although there are doors and windows installed here and there are fences, the fences are not too high. At night, one person can lay underneath and another person can step on its back to climb over. Otherwise, it would be more convenient to move a staircase!
Looking at the door lock of the teaching building, it was intact, because looking from the window, you could see that it was empty inside and there was nothing there.
Gao Mingcheng took a deep breath and felt that he should call the police. If the thief was caught later, maybe he could recover some of his losses.
"Son, let's go!" Gao Mingcheng walked to the elephant slide, picked up Xiao Xuxu who was still reluctant to leave, and took him to the police station.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard loud crying from inside. An old woman in her fifties was sitting on the ground and making a scene.
It is the Chinese people's characteristic to love watching the fun. Gao Mingcheng naturally stood by and watched with little Xuxu in his arms. From the old woman's crying and the words of the people around her, Gao Mingcheng figured out the reason for the incident.
It turned out that her daughter-in-law had just given birth, so she took the money to the market to buy vegetables, but before she could buy the vegetables, the money was stolen! The pocket that contained the money was cut with a knife!
Because I was planning to buy a pig's trotter for my daughter-in-law to nourish her body today, so I had ten dollars in my pocket!
These ten dollars are a considerable amount of money for ordinary people.
"Auntie, we already understand the situation. Get up first. The ground is cold. Stop crying on the ground." Huang Dazhi, who was on duty on his day off, stepped forward and tried to help the old woman up, but the old woman was unwilling to get up at all. She just kept crying loudly, trying to force the police to solve the case quickly or give her some compensation, otherwise she would not be able to explain herself as she had not bought any meat.
At this moment, someone suddenly ran over quickly, panting as he ran, "Someone's been beaten to death! Someone's going to be beaten to death!"
Upon hearing that someone was going to be beaten to death, Huang Dazhi and other police officers immediately grabbed the man and started questioning him.
"Someone caught a thief in the vegetable market! More than a dozen people beat the thief together. I think the thief is almost dead." The man said quickly.
He didn't come to save the thief, but he was afraid that the thief would be beaten to death, and beating people would be against the law.
Upon hearing the news, Huang Dazhi and others immediately rode their bicycles and headed towards the vegetable market.
Huang Dazhi saw Gao Mingcheng in the crowd, but he had no time to say hello. He could only signal with his eyes. In a blink of an eye, Huang Dazhi disappeared, and the old woman who had been lying on the ground and refused to get up immediately got up and ran towards the vegetable market.
The chaos ended after she left, and the remaining police officers continued to do their own work.
Gao Mingcheng carried Xiao Xuxu into the bureau and found Xiao Song.
Officer Song is the team leader and doesn't need to worry about these trivial matters, unlike Huang Dazhi, who needs to run errands everywhere.
"Mingcheng, you came at an untimely time. Director Gao is not in the bureau. He went out for something." When Xiao Song saw Gao Mingcheng, he greeted him warmly.
Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "I'm not here to look for Uncle Guo Bing, Officer Song, I'm here to report a case."
"Report a case?" Xiao Song was stunned, and then his expression became serious. Could it be that Gao Mingcheng discovered another big case?
Is it a tomb robbery or clues to a murderer?
Wait, it seems that no one has died in the county recently...
Xiao Song's mind immediately started to run wild with thoughts, and he felt happy that he was finally going to solve the big case.
Just when he was about to ask in detail, he heard Gao Mingcheng say that someone had stolen building materials from his kindergarten.
Xiao Song's expression froze instantly, and he said in disbelief: "What?"
Gao Mingcheng had no choice but to repeat himself: "My kindergarten was robbed. Three bags of cement, two steel bars and twenty pieces of timber were stolen!"
"Oh, oh! This thief is too rampant. He even dares to steal your things!" Xiao Song reacted and said angrily.
Who in this county doesn’t know that Gao Mingcheng is Director Gao’s nephew?
But he didn't expect that someone would not give him face and steal into Gao Mingcheng's house!
Gao Mingcheng smiled bitterly, there were no cameras at the moment, and he didn't have three heads and six arms to guard every place. If someone really took advantage of the loophole and broke into the house unexpectedly, he would have no way to do anything.
However, as a citizen, it is necessary to report the case when your own interests are damaged. Even if the thief is not found in the end and the loss is not compensated, it at least gives the police a direction for investigation. When the thief is caught later, they can also ask about this matter during the interrogation.
Xiao Song lowered his head to write, saying, "Okay, I'll file a case for you first. If the thief is caught later, I'll try to recover your losses."
"good!"
After Gao Mingcheng reported the case, he saw that everyone in the police station was very busy, so he didn't bother them any more.
But on his way back, he met Huang Dazhi again.
Huang Dazhi immediately stopped his bicycle and said to Gao Mingcheng: "When we passed by, the thief had already been beaten to death."
"Beat him to death?" Gao Mingcheng was stunned, quite surprised.
But it's not too surprising.
At this moment, a fight between two villages could result in several deaths, and it was not uncommon for thieves to be beaten to death by angry mobs.
Huang Dazhi nodded and said, "The thief was bleeding from his mouth and nose. He was beaten to death. They are short of manpower now, so I came back to call a few people over there."
Gao Mingcheng immediately said: "Then you are busy!"
Huang Dazhi nodded and hurried back to the bureau to call for help. The next step was to move the thief's body back, confirm the thief's identity, and then find out the people involved in the fight.
It is said that one cannot punish the entire group. Although these people beat the thief to death, they will not be sentenced to heavy punishment, but they will still receive corresponding punishment.
Watching Huang Dazhi and others busying around, Gao Mingcheng leisurely took his son to People's Park.
The weather is nice today and it is a holiday. There are many people playing in People's Park. There are also some simple entertainment facilities here, which attract children to come and play, and they laugh happily from time to time.
Thinking of the busy police station and looking at the laughter in front of him, Gao Mingcheng suddenly remembered a saying: There is no such thing as a peaceful life, it's just that someone is carrying the burden for you!
Just as he was expressing his feelings, suddenly a football rolled towards Gao Mingcheng. Almost as a conditioned reflex, he raised his foot and kicked the football away.
After the football was hit, it returned to its previous position in the direction he kicked it.
"Wow, so awesome!" The boy who was playing football couldn't help but give Gao Mingcheng a thumbs up to show his admiration.
Gao Mingcheng smiled and watched the group of teenagers playing football on the grass.
Even though the Chinese national football team is not as good as it used to be, in fact, in the 1980s, it was only one draw away from the World Cup. Now is considered the peak of the Chinese national football team.
Boys are born to love playing football. These teenagers took off their thick cotton coats and ran on the grass in sweaters.
Little Xuxu was also attracted. He pointed at the football being carried and said happily: "Ball...ball..."
"Do you want a football? Dad will buy you one later!" Gao Mingcheng made the decision immediately, without caring that Xiao Xuxu was still young and could not play football at all.
So when he left People's Park, he took Xiao Xuxu to a store selling footballs and bought a football.
Xiao Xuxu tried to hold the football, but it was quite difficult and he often couldn't hold it. As soon as the football fell to the ground, it rolled, attracting him to chase it. If he couldn't walk steadily, he would crawl to chase it. In short, his goal was quite clear.
Gao Mingcheng was watching him play from behind. As long as the child was safe, he didn't care whether the clothes were dirty or not. Anyway, he was wearing an overall and there was a washing machine, so he didn't have to worry about not having clean clothes!
However, when he brought his son back to the clothing store, he couldn't avoid being complained by many girls. Hu Yinchen even went to get a clean gown for little Xuxu to change into, and then poured warm water for him to wash his face, hands and perfume.
After this cleanup, the rough-looking child taken care of by Gao Mingcheng immediately became clean.
"Why did you buy such a big football for your son? He is still young and can't even hold it. Just buy him a small rubber ball." Xuanyuemei looked at the football with a puzzled look on her face.
Gao Mingcheng coughed twice. He would never say that his father bought toys for his children. Most likely, his father wanted to play with them himself!
In fact, Gao Mingcheng has never played sports like football and basketball in his two lifetimes. He does play table tennis, badminton, and golf occasionally.
Gao Mingcheng tossed the football and said, "So what if he's still young? He'll grow up eventually! I think we should buy him a basketball next time so he can get used to it in advance. Only when he grows up can he play well."
When it comes to this topic, Duo Duomei knew nothing about it. She did not express any opinion and just said that she would follow Gao Mingcheng's arrangements.
She knew that she had a low level of education and was not as knowledgeable as Gao Mingcheng, so most of the time, she would not compete with Gao Mingcheng fiercely. This was also a very smart approach.
This is how it is between husband and wife, if one person takes a step forward, the other inevitably takes a step back, and by doing this they avoid a head-on collision and are able to live in harmony.
Gao Mingcheng looked at the gentle and soft-hearted Xuanmei in this life, and felt very emotional. He thought that Xuanmei had a gentle personality in this life, and if she took regular physical examinations, she would not get the disease from her previous life again! (End of this chapter)
