Chapter 60 Visiting
Gao Mingcheng didn't know about the grudges between the gangsters. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care, let alone intervene.
But his appearance did slightly change some people's thoughts and practices.
In the past, those idle thugs relied on their numbers to rob lone people. However, after being taught a lesson by Gao Mingcheng's fists and kicks, they no longer dared to rob so blatantly. Instead, they began to study the skills of stealing and cheating. In this way, even if they met someone as skilled as Gao Mingcheng again, they would not all be beaten up.
Those who were not beaten can still wait for the right opportunity to retaliate.
In the days that followed, the number of robberies in the entire county dropped significantly, but the number of cases of money being stolen gradually increased.
When ordinary people encounter robbery, they can either accept it and take the loss, or go to the police to report the case.
Although some people had special connections and hid in advance, the police were still able to catch some of them.
But now, stealing money is more covert than robbing money. Often, victims will discover that their money has been stolen only after a long time. They have no idea where it was stolen or by whom.
Of course, there are some individuals who are very vigilant and notice the thief when he or she strikes and take action to stop him or her.
However, at this time, if there are many people around, the thieves will slip away quickly. If there are few people around, the thieves' gangs will rush forward and rob directly.
Gao Mingcheng was unaware of these changes at the time.
He was in a very good mood at the moment. The two living muntjacs were successfully sold to the hotel at a good price. Gao Mingcheng saw a business opportunity and took the opportunity to build a good relationship with the person who purchased food from the hotel. They agreed that if he had game next time, he could just send it to him.
This time, we have negotiated with two long-term buyers!
Gao Mingcheng carried his empty load and went into the only shopping mall in the county, where he bought two bottles of wine and two bags of snacks. Then he took the things to Gao Guobing's home.
Today is Saturday and Gao Yue doesn't have to go to class.
Last time Gao Guobing invited him to his house for dinner on the weekend, and today happened to be the day for him to go to the market to sell things and have dinner together.
Gao Guobing currently lives in a house allocated by his unit, but in another year, he will get a piece of land in the county town and build a three-story house.
At that time, most houses in the county were self-built, and commercial houses had not yet appeared. It was difficult to get land in the county center, but the surrounding land could be acquired as long as Gao Guobing was willing to speak up and spend some money.
Those plots of land may seem a bit remote now, but in ten years, the county center will expand, and the current remote places will become part of the county center in the future.
As Gao Mingcheng walked, he looked around, and the scenes he saw gradually overlapped with the scenes of his previous life.
So which piece of land could be developed better in the future all appeared clearly in his mind.
After walking for about ten minutes, he arrived at a tube-shaped building behind the police station. Looking up at this old building, he suddenly forgot which floor Gao Guobing lived on.
He roughly remembered where Gao Guobing lived, but he had long forgotten the specific location of the room.
After all, in his memory, decades have passed.
Just when Gao Mingcheng was thinking about finding someone to ask, someone suddenly patted his shoulder from behind.
In fact, Gao Mingcheng's muscles subconsciously tensed up when the person approached, but he forced himself not to show it. It was not until someone tapped his shoulder that he turned around and looked.
A face that was both familiar and unfamiliar appeared before him.
To say it is familiar, he has known the owner of this face for decades; to say it is unfamiliar, this face is no longer mature and steady as it used to be, but green and childish.
It’s Gao Yue, Gao Yue who just entered the third year of high school this year!
Gao Yue is the same age as him, but a few months younger. If he had not interrupted his studies, he would have been in his third year of high school this year.
Gao Yue was holding a pot of soy sauce in his hand. When he saw Gao Mingcheng, his eyes were full of surprise: "Gao Mingcheng! My dad said you might come over in the next two days, and you really came! What are you standing there for? Aren't you tired of the sun? Come on, let's go upstairs."
Gao Yue was very enthusiastic. Before his father went to work in the county, he, his brother and Gao Mingcheng were close friends. The three of them often went fishing together, looked for bird eggs in the mountains, went to school together, went home from school together, and of course, fought together.
Gao Mingcheng and his brother Gao Hong have very good physical fitness, but he is a little weaker and not as fierce as them when fighting.
Later, his father saw that his brother was full of energy and often got into trouble, so he sent his brother to the army after he finished high school.
"Gao Mingcheng, we haven't seen each other for a long time, probably half a year or so? I remember we met once in the first half of the year when you came to the county town to sell potato seeds on behalf of your family." Gao Yue was so happy that he started chattering.
In his previous life, he was a criminal policeman and was a very serious person. However, when he was young, he had a very lively personality.
As they went upstairs, they greeted many people along the way.
Those who live here are all from the police station.
Gao Guobing's family lives in the easternmost apartment on the second floor, which is about 80 square meters and has three rooms. The house has good lighting and is kept clean.
There was someone busy in the kitchen. When he heard the footsteps coming in, he immediately said, "Gao Yue! I asked you to go get some soy sauce, why did it take so long? Do you still want to eat braised tofu for lunch today?"
"Mom! Look who's here!" Gao Yue was not afraid of what his mother would say to him, and he pulled Gao Mingcheng towards the kitchen.
From the moment they met, Gao Mingcheng was in a passive state, mainly because Gao Yue was too excited and talkative, leaving Gao Mingcheng unable to get a word in.
Standing at the kitchen door, Gao Mingcheng finally said something serious: "Aunt."
The woman in the kitchen was putting chopped pig's feet and soybeans into a Double Happiness pressure cooker. When she heard the sound, she immediately looked up.
There was only a moment of surprise in her eyes, and soon a smile appeared. She looked Gao Mingcheng up and down and said with a smile: "Mingcheng, you seem to have grown taller! Mingcheng, Gao Yue, you two stand still, let me compare."
So the two of them immediately stood up and let Gao Yue's mother compare who was taller between the two of them.
"Well, Mingcheng has grown an inch or two taller! Not bad, he's also stronger!" Gao Yue's mother smiled and was very approachable, as if the time they had not met for a long time had never happened.
Just like in the village, close and natural.
"Mom, didn't you just say that I've grown taller and my clothes are too short? Then I must be taller than Gao Mingcheng!" Gao Yue was a little unwilling to admit defeat, his toes were eager to move, as if he wanted to stand on tiptoe.
