The business of the clothing store is not busy, and it is enough to have many beautiful girls and Gao Shufang around. Therefore, Gao Mingcheng spends most of his free time, so he goes back to Gaojiacun every three to five times to look at the things at home and tease Black Tiger and Elf for a while. Bring some more vegetables from the fields.
When he was not back in Gaojiacun, he would wander around, or go to the police station to talk to Gao Guobing and the others, or go to the transportation company, and then talk to Gao Mingli.
Gao Mingli still works in the sugar factory. This has something to do with his personality. He likes a stable life and does not have the spirit of adventure. Although the current salary in the sugar factory is not high, Gao Mingli does not have to worry about supporting his family. It doesn't matter if you are a moonlighter.
Gao Mingcheng suggested that Gao Mingli move to his house. There were four rooms on the second floor, all of which had been simply decorated.
But Gao Mingli didn't move here right away because he paid monthly rent at Officer Zhao's house and had to live there for a month before moving.
On this day, Huang Dazhi came to see Gao Mingcheng.
"Mingcheng, the cast on Xiao An's leg has been on for two months. It should be removed. Are you free tomorrow?" Huang Dazhi asked. He knew that Gao Mingcheng often traveled to and from Gaojiacun recently, so he wanted to ask Gao Mingcheng for a favor. , took his brother to the county hospital.
Although the operation was performed in a provincial hospital, the technical content of removing the plaster was obviously average, and the county hospital could also perform the job.
In this case, there is no reason to sacrifice the near for the far.
Gao Mingcheng calculated the time and found that it was indeed time to dismantle it.
So he graciously agreed and said, "Okay, then I'll go back early tomorrow and send the person directly to the county hospital."
Huang Dazhi looked grateful and thanked him repeatedly.
"There's no need to talk about our friendship! Dazhi, how do you feel about the house?" Gao Mingcheng asked.
Huang Dazhi shook his head and said: "The house matter needs to be slowed down. Everyone in the bureau knows that I took my parents and brother to the provincial hospital for medical treatment not long ago, especially since my brother also had surgery, which cost a lot of money. So I can’t buy a house right away.”
"Fortunately, I'm not in a hurry. Let's pick slowly first."
Huang Dazhi is quite cautious. Although it can be said that the money was borrowed by Gao Mingcheng, spending two large sums of money in a short period of time is still very eye-catching.
The people in the bureau are all experts in handling cases. Huang Dazhi does not dare to expose too much, so it is better to be cautious in his words and actions.
"You can buy it again after that year." Gao Mingcheng nodded, feeling that Huang Dazhi had considered it properly, and then asked Huang Dazhi about the blind date.
Huang Dazhi is not young anymore, and children of the same age can almost do soy sauce!
Not long ago, the mother of a colleague in the bureau set up a blind date for Huang Dazhi. The other party was her niece, who was just twenty years old this year. She said she wanted to find someone to work in the city.
Although Huang Dazhi is from the village and is only a co-op now, everyone knows that it is certain that he will become a policeman.
Huang Dazhi works rigorously and meticulously, and has made a lot of contributions. In addition, he also has some relationship with Gao Guobing. Now that there are no rigid standards for regularization, whether he becomes a regular or not is a matter of Gao Guobing's words.
When it comes to blind dates, the expressions on Huang Dazhi's face are rich, ranging from shyness to disappointment and sadness.
"Hey." Huang Dazhi sighed first, then frowned and said: "The woman is average-looking, neither good-looking nor ugly. She is a little short, but she's okay. As I get older, I want to get married and have children as soon as possible. I don’t dare to have too high demands on women.”
"When we first met, we both had a good impression, but later... the woman asked that she live in the city after getting married. This is no problem. My work also requires me to live in the city, and she said that even if If I borrow money, I will also buy a house in the city."
"But the woman also said that she couldn't bring my parents and younger brother over. At this time, I was not very happy. In fact, I definitely won't bring my parents and younger brother to live in the city now. They are in good health and there are a lot of people in the countryside. There are things to take care of. But they will always get old, and I can’t ignore them all my life.”
"Although I am not happy, I want to coax the woman to stay first. Anyway, she will definitely not bring her parents to me in the next ten years. After the children are born, she will not dare to say anything."
"The matter is over, but I couldn't accept the bride price that the woman asked for in the end. She wanted 880 yuan in cash, two jars of old wine, and two sets of clothes, which means it needs more than 200 yuan, and woolen yarn is also required. Three kilograms, a watch, a bicycle, twenty-four kilograms of meat, and a red umbrella."
Huang Dazhi's face almost wrinkled into a bitter melon face. He turned to look at Gao Mingcheng and said with a wry smile: "You know how much money I have. If I really want to marry, I can afford it, but... people say, except for two She won't bring anything else, including a suit of clothes and a red umbrella, because she also has a brother who is getting married, and the money and things must be used for her brother's wedding."
After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng almost wanted to call him a good guy!
Is this robbing the rich to give to the poor, or is it supporting the devil?
After giving a lot of things, you only get one person. The key is that this person is not very virtuous and filial!
Gao Mingcheng heard a word in later generations called outsourcing of filial piety. Although he was a man, he did not agree with this. He always had to be filial to his parents, but his spouse should also have the obligation to assist, such as Huang This woman, whom Da Zhi was dating, would not allow Huang Dazhi to take his parents with him. This was obviously not possible.
Another example is that his own parents looked down on Duomei, which made Duomei a little angry. However, when he went to help his parents' house, he did not ask Duomei to go with him, and Duomei would not stop him from going.
"Does the aunt who introduced you know these conditions?" Gao Mingcheng asked.
If the colleague’s mother knew about it, she would have formed a conspiracy to deceive Huang Dazhi! Don’t interact with that colleague from now on.
Huang Dazhi said: "My aunt has good intentions. She only knew that her cousin wanted to marry a city man, but she was from the country and it was difficult to get the chance to marry in the city, so she delayed it until she was twenty. not married."
"After I found out about the bride's request for a bride price, I went directly to my aunt and said that I had no money and couldn't afford to marry her. She also expressed her understanding and said that she shouldn't introduce her niece to me."
Huang Dazhi waved his hand. He really couldn't agree to this condition. If he didn't agree, no one would think bad of him. If he agreed, people would question where his money came from.
"You are right to refuse, this gift requirement is too outrageous!" Gao Mingcheng also complained.
I think back then, He Xiuman's parents also wanted to sell He Xiuman for money and raised the bride price, but in the end they only negotiated it to 680 yuan, and that was all, nothing else, such as clothes, bicycles, etc. There are no watches or meat.
Later, when He Xiuman got married, she brought a dowry of more than a hundred yuan. Although this marriage was not profitable, it was definitely acceptable.
The person Huang Dazhi was dating seemed to have a lofty ambition and a lowly status.
I am from the country, not very good-looking, and yet I want so much money and things from others. What a beautiful idea!
"All good things come in hard times, Da Zhi. Just relax and take your time, and you will always find the right one." Gao Mingcheng patted Huang Dazhi on the shoulder and felt that this brother had a hard time.
Huang Dazhi was in a better mood now. He had been holding these things in his heart and had no one to talk to. Now that he told Gao Mingcheng, he felt better.
"Dazhi, I think you'd better not let people in the city introduce you. You can just look for us directly! It's better to know the basics and save yourself from making some unremarkable requests." Gao Mingcheng made a suggestion.
Huang Dazhi thought this suggestion was good, nodded and said, "I think so too. There are more than a dozen villages in our area, and we should be able to find them."
The betrothal gift in their countryside is usually around 680 yuan. Some poorer families can make it with only 300 to 400 yuan, and some wealthy families can only get it in the early 1000s at most.
Huang Dazhi can accept a gift of more than one thousand, but he requires the woman to be virtuous and filial. He also wants to adopt a baby girl with cleft lips for his brother. If the woman is not a good character, she will definitely not agree and will cause trouble.
On this day, Huang Dazhi happily told Gao Mingcheng all the things that were pressing on his heart, including his personal feelings and some gossip from the police station.
Gao Mingcheng didn't refuse anyone who came, and he listened to a lot of gossip!
In fact, not only women love this kind of thing, but men also love it!
Early the next morning, Gao Mingcheng went to Junling to pick up Huang Xiaoan as scheduled.
Huang Xiaoan has casts on his legs and has difficulty moving, but Huang Dazhi bought him a wheelchair, so when the weather is nice, his parents will put him in the wheelchair and push him around the village.
After Huang Dazhi's father took the medicine, his kidney stones were treated, his pain was relieved a lot, and he now has some strength to work normally.
This time it was his father who accompanied Huang Xiaoan to the hospital to remove the plaster.
There was an old mattress spread on the bed of the tractor. Huang Xiaoan was dressed tightly and sat on the mattress. He also wore a dog-skin hat. He sat with his back to Gao Mingcheng to reduce the cold wind blowing on him.
By the way, although having a tractor is indeed very convenient, when using it in winter, the cold wind blowing on people is really uncomfortable.
Sure enough, people's pursuit is improved step by step in this way.
When I didn't have a car, I thought a tractor was good, but after I got a tractor, I started to want a better car, such as a jeep that can protect me from wind and rain.
But when Gao Mingcheng thought about the price of the jeep, he stopped thinking.
Poor, poor in capital letters!
All the way to the county hospital, Gao Mingcheng helped register and find the outpatient office.
While the plaster was being removed, Huang Dazhi also came over. He wanted to see Huang Xiaoan's changes in person.
The doctor in the provincial capital told him that the operation was successful, but after the plaster was removed, some rehabilitation was needed to ensure that the muscles would not atrophy. If the recovery was good, Huang Xiaoan could move freely.
Although the walking posture is not very elegant, being able to move freely is an improvement.
The process of removing the plaster was a bit slow, and with two family members accompanying him, Gao Mingcheng planned to walk around the hospital.
The County People's Hospital was built in the 1980s and is still relatively new, but Gao Mingcheng's impression of it still remains that of an old and broken-down hospital.
Because it was not until 2021 that the People's Hospital moved to a new hospital. The hospital was naturally built to be more luxurious and grand, but patients had to take a lot of detours to see a doctor. Unlike now, registering, getting medicine, seeing a doctor, and getting an examination are almost all in one place. You only need to know the words to find the corresponding place.
Because of the concentration of functions, Gao Mingcheng arrived at the door of another department within a few steps. He did not peek into those offices, but he would always glance at them when passing by.
Suddenly, a familiar face flashed past. He had already passed the office and turned back.
He glanced at the sign hanging outside the door, Gynecology.
Look at the familiar person inside the door - Deng Wanwan.
A bad premonition came to his mind. As a reborn person with a rich reserve of knowledge, he felt that something unfortunate might happen to Deng Wanwan.
Gao Mingcheng's steps were steady and he did not go in without permission. For an unrelated man to break into the gynecology department would be tantamount to being a hooligan.
But he stood outside the door and heard the cry of Deng Wanwan's mother.
"Doctor, something bad happened to our child. We can't keep the child in our belly!" This sad voice came from Mother Deng.
"Well, we can't keep it anymore. There are already signs of threatened abortion. I'll prescribe some abortion pills for you, take them quickly." This cold voice came from the doctor.
The doctor lowered his head to prescribe medicine. After he finished writing, he raised his head to look at Deng Wanwan. This time his voice had a touch of warmth: "If you don't want a child, you can come to the hospital. Why do you mess around with yourself? If you mess around like this, your body will be damaged, and you will be in trouble in the future." Maybe I can’t get pregnant!”
Deng Wanwan looked dull, like a wooden person. At this time, she said: "It's okay if you can't get pregnant!"
She never wanted to be touched by a man again in her life, she felt disgusted!
Her mother immediately covered her face and started crying, but she didn't say anything to persuade her.
So the two went downstairs to get the medicine, asked the nurse for a glass of water, and swallowed the abortion medicine on the spot.
Gao Mingcheng did not approach, but avoided because he felt that Deng Wanwan might not be happy to see him now.
After not seeing her for a while, Deng Wanwan looked obviously haggard, her eyes were black and blue, and there were some scratches on her body. Especially her expression, as if she had lost all hope in life.
After she noticed something was wrong with her body, she began to toss herself vigorously, jumping up and down, and even climbed up a tree and jumped off the tree again.
After some tossing, blood gushed out from his lower abdomen, accompanied by pain.
But Deng Wanwan didn't feel pain, but was happy.
She lay on the grass in the forest, looking up at the sky, waiting for that moment to come, but after the labor pain, she actually recovered, which made her very angry.
Fortunately, Deng's mother had experience. After noticing that something was wrong with Deng Wanwan, she immediately took Deng Wanwan to the hospital for a checkup.
Then it was confirmed that she was pregnant and there were signs of threatened miscarriage.
The hospital facilities were rudimentary, and Deng Wanwan did not have a bed to rest. She just sat on a public chair in the hospital. After taking the medicine, she had a reaction quickly. The pain made her curl up like a cooked shrimp.
Despite the pain, Deng Wanwan gritted her teeth and did not cry a word, but her whole body was wet with cold sweat.
Mother Deng held her daughter in her arms and burst into tears.
At some point, Huang Dazhi also came to Gao Mingcheng's side. They were standing on the second floor, but they could directly see Deng Wanwan on the seat on the first floor.
Huang Dazhi worked in the police station and came into contact with various religions and a lot of knowledge. Therefore, after seeing this scene and thinking about what happened to Deng Wanwan, he roughly guessed what happened.
"Hey." He sighed, and the hemp rope was broken at a small point. Fate only bullies those who suffer misfortune!
"My brother has finished removing the plaster, let's go first. If... if there is a chance, I would really like to help her." Huang Dazhi said, and he did not choose to show up.
A woman's miscarriage is a very private matter, and it is not a good thing for two grown men to appear in front of her.
Gao Mingcheng also knew that he was not suitable to come forward, but he decided to ask Duo Mei to go to Deng's hometown tomorrow to deliver some nutrients to Deng Wanwan to replenish her body.
As far as he knew, Deng Wanwan's family was very poor, and now that something like this happened again, they might not have anything good to eat, but a woman having a miscarriage would be very drained of energy and blood.
If you don't take good care of it, your physical fitness will become weaker in the future.
