Chapter 11
Before Gu Shian came back, a big event happened in Yunshui County.
Yunshui County, which has always been peaceful and quiet, actually had a robber who robbed a pregnant woman!
It was said that the pregnant woman was a ticket seller working at the county cinema. Nowadays, those who can work in cinemas are mostly children of cadres, with good family conditions, good looks, and naturally good marriages. The pregnant woman was a fashionable young wife in her twenties. She usually sat at the ticket office to sell movie tickets and collect money. She had a lot of free time. She either ate melon seeds or put on lipstick in front of the mirror. Her hair was permed into fashionable small curls. When she went out, she either wore a floral dress or leather sandals. She went out with an umbrella. When she walked on the street, she looked like a wealthy family and had no shortage of money!
If you are not short of money, then you are not short of money. After all, the most popular clothes now are bras and cheongsams. In big cities outside, Western-style buildings stand on the side of the road, and fashionable girls come and go on the road. Which one is not dressed like this?
In a few years, this behavior will be regarded as bourgeois behavior and will be criticized.
When the country was first established, the public security in Yunshui County was really not good. At that time, there were Kuomintang deserters, bandits, enemy spies, and various forces intertwined and intertwined.
At that time, many soldiers from the field army returned to their hometowns to become public security officers. Together with the militia comrades in the countryside, they went up the mountains to suppress bandits, arrest enemy spies, and vigorously rectified the security environment in various places. 53 years later, the social atmosphere in Yunshui County was completely renewed. Although there were occasional thefts, the thieves were quickly eliminated.
The people in Yunshui County lived and worked in peace and contentment, and teenage girls were not afraid to go out alone in the dark at night.
The pregnant young wife naturally did not expect that she was just a little late from work on a rainy day, and chose a remote alley close to home to walk, and a man appeared behind her, stretched out a pair of black hands, covered her mouth, snatched the handbag in her hand, and dragged her to the corner of the alley.
The pregnant woman was also brave and careful. She bit the man's arm hard. When the man let go of her hand due to the pain, she picked up the umbrella she carried with her to protect herself. She first slapped the strong man on the face, then turned around and ran desperately to the street.
Fortunately, there was a bus stop near the alley with a large flow of people. The young wife grew up in this area. She ran and called for help, and the man behind her limped and chased her. The driver and several passengers at the bus stop heard someone shouting for help, and ran over to save the pregnant woman in danger. Seeing that the situation was not good, the robber turned around and ran, disappearing in the rain in a few seconds. As soon as
this case came out, it immediately caused an uproar in Yunshui County.
Yunshui County has a population of tens of thousands. Which family doesn't have daughters-in-law, daughters waiting to be married, and girls in school? In the past, the public security was good, and parents were relieved that their daughters were running around outside.
Who could have expected that only a few years after the liberation, there would be thugs outside who robbed and injured people again?
What's more, the thugs ran away on the spot. What if they show up and hurt people again? It 's
better to be safe than sorry.
For a while, the people of Yunshui County were in a panic. Families with daughters kept them at home and didn't let them go out. Even the number of vendors setting up stalls on the street decreased.
The director of the county committee was a former leader. He hated the scum who harmed the people the most. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and got very angry.
The entire county public security bureau went out in the heavy rain to search for the suspects who committed the crime in various places in the county. They were very busy.

Zhang Cuilan almost jumped up when she heard about this.
She was scared!
What kind of world is this? The people are in charge, so how can there still be bandits and bastards who rob people on the road!
Their old Gu family has two daughters!
No, I have to be more careful in the future.
As soon as Zhang Cuilan got home, she solemnly announced to her family, "The streets have been in turmoil recently. Yaoyao, Chunmei, you two girls, don't go out if you have nothing to do in the future. The same goes for Dongzi, you bastard, stay at home and do your homework. If I catch you running away, I'll break your legs!"
Lin Yao smiled and nodded. God seemed to be showing off his power recently. It rained every other day. It was a thunderstorm that came and went quickly. It was like a beaded curtain that connected in a line. It was endless. The big compound had not been repaired for many years, and the roof began to leak.
Old Gu's family had just replaced the roof with new tiles in the spring, so there was no need to worry about the house leaking.
The other families in the big compound were in trouble, especially Zheng Dacheng's family in the front yard. When his wife was renovating the house in front, she cut corners to save money.
Now, it was raining heavily outside, and Zheng Dacheng's house became a water curtain cave in the Flower and Fruit Mountain. The pots and pans in the house were soaked by the rain, and it was still soaking wet when you stepped on them.
Zheng Dacheng shook his dripping leather shoes and cursed at his wife.
"Stupid woman, look at what you have done. You have lost the face of my canteen chef..."
Zheng Dacheng's wife was not a pushover. When Zheng Dacheng wanted to beat her, she sang and danced in the big compound, and the noise was heard by the leaders of the steel plant.
Lin Yao stayed at home to eat melons and avoid the rain every day. She had a leisurely life without going out. In the middle of the night, it started to rain, blowing down the crabapple flowers. She wrapped herself in a quilt, closed her eyes peacefully, and slept peacefully on the cool rainy day.
Gu Shidong was shocked, "Mom, are you going to lock me up in a small dark room?"
Gu Chunmei sneered at him, "Can you talk? We live in a big compound, where is there a small dark room?"
Gu Shidong pouted like a little old man, "If you lock me up at home and don't let me go out, why not
lock me up in a small dark room?" Zhang Cuilan didn't care what her old son said. Anyway, she had her say. If the bastard dared to disobey, she would spank him with a big stick!
Gu Shidong was depressed, squatting on the side with his head drooped and not saying a word.
Lin Yao suddenly thought of a question, "Auntie, it's not safe outside, what should Chunmei do on her way to and from work?"
Gu Chunmei usually rides a bicycle to and from work, and on the way she has to pass through a forest of elms. That was an old coal mine, and it was originally a residential area. Later, coal was mined, and the houses above were cracked and could not be lived in. The government relocated the people and moved the coal mine away, leaving only a group of dilapidated houses with no one living in them.
That place is deserted, and it becomes gloomy at night. The naughty kids nearby all stay away from it.
If it wasn't the only way to work, Gu Chunmei wouldn't want to go through the elm forest.
Zhang Cuilan was stunned. Yes, the daughter still has to go to work and come home. But there is no need to worry. Just let the old man pick up the daughter every day. After all, she is the child of their father Gu. If her father doesn't take care of her, who will?
Gu Mancang nodded hurriedly.
He was also worried about the daughter.
Gu Shidong rolled his eyes, chuckled twice, and volunteered to be the bodyguard for his second sister with his father.
His own mother looked down on him, "You bastard, you're not even as tall as a wheel. What can you do when you go there? You're so stupid, I don't know who you look like!"
Gu Shidong: "........"
Gu Mancang, who was implied, said: "......."
In the evening, a thunder exploded in the sky, and the rain that had stopped for a while began to fall again.
It was raining outside, so fewer members went to the commune cafeteria to eat. Most of them went to the cafeteria with umbrellas to get food and went home to eat.
Everyone at home was busy, so Lin Yao held an umbrella and carried a lunch box to the cafeteria to get food.
Today, the cafeteria made preserved vegetable and meat pancakes. Preserved vegetables are dried preserved vegetables, a snack in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Master Xiao Zheng's hometown is in Zhejiang, so his craftsmanship is really impeccable.
The sauce of the pancakes was mellow and glossy, and the pork belly was blended with the aroma of preserved vegetables. It was sandwiched in the freshly baked pancakes. It was fat but not greasy, soft and smooth.
Lin Yao had a small appetite and was full after eating one pancake. Gu Chunmei ate two, Zhang Cuilan ate one and a half, and Uncle Mancang was not at home to eat, so the rest went into Gu Shidong's dirty temple.
In the afternoon, Xu Xiangqian came to the big compound. It was still raining at that time. Big Head Brother was wearing a raincoat and was soaking wet. He brought a big green-skinned watermelon and a bag of canned sugar water, which tasted like yellow peaches. Gu Chunmei liked to drink it.
Lin Yao looked at it and winked at Gu Chunmei.
"Oh, our Big Head brother is so considerate."
Gu Chunmei was now open-minded, opening the can of sugar water and eating with a spoon, "You can be bad, but when my brother comes back, he will be more considerate to someone than Big Head."
Lin Yao was thick-skinned, and did not blush at all after hearing this. She even snorted at her sister Chunmei, "That's not necessarily true, who is as considerate as Big Head brother." When
her son-in-law came home, Zhang Cuilan smiled like a flower for a rare time, and whispered: Xiyu pulled Xu Xiangqian to show concern, "Xiangqian, you haven't slept for a few days, your eyes are red like rabbits, take care of yourself, it's raining outside, why are you running here, are you cold, come on, let's go inside to warm up, talk to Auntie, and wait until the rain stops before leaving."
Big Head Brother also wanted to sit at home, he hadn't seen Chunmei for a few days, wanted to talk to Chunmei, but the conscienceless little girl was only concerned about eating canned food and ignored him.
Besides, the Public Security Bureau is really busy, they have to investigate cases and catch robbers, and they also have to deal with daily work. Recently, the old deputy director retired, and the new deputy director sent by the higher authorities will take office in a few days.
Big Head Brother regretted Yaotou.
Zhang Cuilan asked Gu Chunmei to see her son-in-law off.
Gu Chunmei said "hmm", and the two little ones walked sweetly into the alley.
Gu Shidong snorted, dragged two small stools from the kitchen, and sat on them with Lin Yao. He pulled a piece of dogtail grass and grumbled, "Sister-in-law, I feel that my sister and my brother-in-law who is a police officer are not the same kind of people. Police officers are so smart, and my brother-in-law is also smart, but of course not as smart as me. My sister is stupid, what if she gets cheated after marrying him? What? My brother-in-law treats my sister well, that's for sure. Being good to my sister now doesn't mean he will be good to her forever. Men like new things and hate old things..."
Gu Shidong muttered to himself like a little Tang Monk. Lin Yao had just finished her meal and didn't want to move. She sat on the small stool with her cheek in her hand and was lazy. She just said "um" twice as an answer.
The brat kept mumbling for a while, and suddenly fell silent as if he was stupid.
"Sister-in-law, am I dreaming? I think I saw my elder brother?"
This naughty child must have missed his elder brother so much that he went crazy.
The rain outside was hitting the flowers, plants and trees, making people more reluctant to move. Lin Yao closed his eyes and rested, and said perfunctorily, "Are you sleepy? If you are, go to sleep."
"No, sister-in-law, it's really my elder brother who has come back!"
Gu Shidong grabbed Lin Yao's hand and shook it back and forth as if he had seen a ghost.
Lin Yao was shaken to the ground by the brat, and he was so angry that he opened his eyes and was about to deal with the brat.
Gu Shidong pointed at the yard and was speechless. She looked up and saw a military green figure in the rain. This man was very young, about 27 or 28 years old, wearing a green military uniform, with a straight posture. He had a handsome face, sharp eyebrows, and a pair of dark and deep black eyes. When he looked at people, his eyes were cold and cold, like a knife blade that suddenly appeared, exuding an aura of keeping strangers away.
Her heart skipped a beat. It was over. Her cheap husband really came back.
