Chapter 394: Doing Good Deeds and Developing Eyes
In the evening, He Dayou came to visit with two gift boxes.
He Dayou said with shame: "Mingcheng, I'm sorry. I was ignorant before, and I acted foolishly all day long, which made the elders at home worried and embarrassed my brothers and sisters. I have changed my mind now and will never do that kind of thing again. But I have never apologized to you formally. I feel very uncomfortable about what happened this time."
He Dayou was the leader who wanted to rob Gao Mingcheng, but ended up suffering at the hands of Gao Mingcheng. He originally wanted to borrow the help of his cousin Xiao Song to teach Gao Mingcheng a lesson.
Who knew that Gao Mingcheng was actually Director Gao's nephew.
So the matter was left unresolved. He Dayou suffered a loss, but he accepted it.
Later, under the care of his cousin, he joined the police station as an auxiliary police officer, and gradually distanced himself from the people and things in the past.
After this incident happened, his cousin asked him to come and apologize formally. When his parents found out, they also asked him to do so. It was his parents who helped him buy the gift.
Gao Mingcheng looked at He Dayou, but he didn't blame He Dayou. After all, when he was just starting out, the little brothers he gathered together were just a mob.
He had been a mixed bag in his previous life, so he knew that everyone has their own consequences.
Gao Mingcheng said: "I accept your apology, but this matter has nothing to do with you, so you should take the gift back."
He Dayou refused to take the gift back, and quickly waved his hands and said, "My parents bought this for me. If I take it back, they will think you haven't forgiven me, and they will break my legs!"
His exaggerated expression made Gao Mingcheng laugh as well.
He took a look at what He Dayou brought, which included two bottles of wine and a box of mooncakes.
Counting the days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in ten days.
Since He Dayou spoke sincerely, Gao Mingcheng accepted it.
Seeing Gao Mingcheng agreed to accept the gift, He Dayou was relieved. He thought for a moment and said, "In fact, Maozi and Monkey are both poor people. Maozi has no parents or other relatives at home, only a mentally retarded brother, and the family is often so poor that they can't even afford to eat. Monkey's father passed away early, and his mother raised two children alone. The family often had nothing to eat, so Monkey would go out and steal things."
"They are both uneducated and can't even recognize a few words. They can't find a job at all. They can only do odd jobs occasionally to earn a little money. I don't do such unscrupulous things anymore. I have also advised them, but their situation, alas..."
He Dayou sighed.
Sometimes when he met his former friends who were having a hard time, he would give them a few dollars, but he would not give them any more help.
After all, his abilities are limited.
Gao Mingcheng remained silent. He already knew something about the Maozi and the monkeys.
He looked at the cabinets piled up in the corner of the backyard. These cabinets had been broken by the Five Tigers of Central Plains and could no longer be displayed in the store, so they were replaced with new ones.
However, although these cabinets have traces of knives and axes, it does not actually affect their use and can be repaired appropriately.
So he said, "How about this, I have a batch of unwanted furniture at home, I'll give it to Maozi!"
Maozi finally tipped him off, which was also a credit. Although he had given him ten yuan before, now that he saw that his family was in financial difficulty, he should just do him a favor.
Anyway, these furniture are useless to keep and they are not worth much if sold as second-hand furniture.
He Da was stunned for a moment, then smiled and thanked Mao Zi on his behalf: "Hey, thank you so much."
Since he had decided to give it away, Gao Mingcheng was too lazy to pile the things in the backyard anymore.
His building doesn't cover a large area, and the backyard is already full of things.
So he moved the cabinets, clothes hangers and other furniture directly to the tractor's bed, and delivered the things to Maozi's home before the light outside completely disappeared.
Maozi never expected such a good thing to happen and was flattered and thanked him.
Gao Mingcheng walked into the room, looked around, and found that the room was very damp.
It rained last night, but it stopped this morning.
But Maozi's house was wet everywhere, which was obviously abnormal. He looked up, but it was night and he couldn't see the condition of the tiles on the roof beams.
But we can guess that it must be the tiles that are failing, which is why there is water leakage.
Maozi's younger brother is about seven or eight years old. Although he is mentally retarded, he has a good personality and will not be violent or hurtful.
At this moment, he stood there obediently, playing with the corners of his clothes with both hands, looking at Gao Mingcheng timidly.
When Gao Mingcheng met his gaze, he actually felt that the child's gaze was very clear, with a kind of purity that was not polluted.
Look at the child's clothes. They are old and big and don't seem to fit him well. His hair is messy, as if he had just cut it casually with a pair of scissors.
Maozi saw that he was looking at his brother, so he said, "My mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to my brother. She died right after she gave birth to him."
Oh, then it seems that it was the lack of oxygen that caused brain damage, which is why he became mentally retarded.
Gao Mingcheng thought so in his heart.
His family runs a clothing store, so he likes to give clothes to people. Now that he feels sorry for Maozi's younger brother, he decides to give the kid some clothes.
He said to Maozi, "Come to my shop tomorrow and I'll give your brother two sets of clothes. By the way, what's his name?"
Maozi said: "Yangyang! When he was a child, he had no milk to drink, so he was raised with goat milk given by a family in the village. That's why we call him Yangyang."
Gao Mingcheng was speechless for a few seconds, then said, "The name Yangyang is fine, but don't call her Yang, call her Yang with three water drops, or Yang, which is very fashionable."
Yangyang and Yangyang sound the same, but the former sounds like a pet name.
Maozi didn't understand either and just stood there stupidly.
He Dayou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why don't you thank him quickly? He is much more educated than you!"
Maozi thanked him quickly.
Gao Mingcheng looked at him and said, "It's already autumn, and the rain will gradually increase. You should re-install the tiles before winter. Your house is old to begin with, and it will be more likely to break down after being soaked by rain. If it collapses, where will you and your brother live?"
Maozi's face was filled with shame and he lowered his head in embarrassment.
The tiles in the house have never been replaced since his father passed away.
During these years, he had to go out to make money and take care of a mentally retarded brother, so his life was naturally a mess.
He Dayou thought for a moment and said, "Maozi, do you have the money to buy tiles? If not, I'll lend it to you. You can use it to buy tiles quickly, saving the labor cost. Just call two brothers to help you."
Although this house is dilapidated, it can still last for a few more years after the tiles are renovated. When the house becomes dry, the furniture and clothes will not easily rot.
Maozi immediately said, "I have money to buy tiles. I will go to the tile factory to buy them tomorrow."
Gao Mingcheng came this time just to deliver furniture to him, and did not shoulder the responsibility of leading him out of poverty and into prosperity, so he decided to leave.
But before leaving, he thought of one thing.
So he stopped and said to Maozi: "Since you often hang out on the streets, please pay more attention to the news on the streets. Find time every week to come to me and tell me about what's happening on the streets. Of course, I won't let you work for nothing, I will pay you."
Before he even mentioned that he would give money, Maozi had already nodded in agreement.
Gao Mingcheng subscribed to several newspapers, but the newspapers only allowed him to know some major news in the world, but could not keep him informed of some small local events in a timely manner.
This time, it was a sudden idea for him to ask Maozi to find out about the matter.
In this way, if someone wants to deal with me next time, as long as they reveal some clues in advance and the Russians tip them off, I can reduce the losses in time and nip the danger in the bud.
Maozi used to hate Gao Mingcheng, thinking that he was too harsh and that he was in pain for many days after he beat him up. But now he thinks that Gao Mingcheng is a really good person!
So he said as if to promise: "Okay, Brother Mingcheng, don't worry, if there is any news that is unfavorable to you, I will be the first to tell you!"
