Wang Xun and Deng Wanwan bought tickets to the capital, but there were still three hours before departure.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Xun led Deng Wanwan to the public telephone and called his uncle, Director Wang, in front of Deng Wanwan.
Gao Mingcheng's clothing store didn't have a phone installed yet, so he naturally couldn't call there.
After answering the phone, Wang Xun briefly explained what happened, and then asked his cousin to find someone to send a message to Gao Mingcheng to let him know Deng Wanwan's whereabouts.
After making this call, Deng Wanwan felt a lot more relieved. Next, she followed Wang Xun to find a restaurant for dinner, and then it was almost time to get into the station and get on the bus.
After staying on the train for nearly two days, Deng Wanwan, who was feeling dizzy, followed Wang Xun and got off the train.
Someone had already come to pick up the car. The person who came was a cousin of Wang Xun. When he saw Wang Xun wearing a suit and bringing a young girl with him, he frowned and said, "You are wearing these clothes." No, I’ll take you to buy some cheap clothes to wear tomorrow!”
"Ah Xun, who is this little girl? Does she have good eyesight or good craftsmanship?"
The cousin's series of questions confused Wang Xunwen. He had been on the train for two days. At this time, he was tired all over and his mind was a little sluggish.
He said: "Wanwan can write and keep accounts. I plan to let her do the accounting work."
His cousin immediately refused and said: "No, you brought it, I'd better follow you first! I'll wait until I can get started with the work!"
This cousin's attitude made Deng Wanwan feel uneasy, but she was happy to stay with Wang Xun.
So the next day, they put on the cheap clothes prepared by their cousin, and they looked a lot shabby.
The cousin gave Wang Xun a pushcart and said to Wang Xun: "Take this little girl to Nanluogu Lane to collect rags, and I will test your eyesight!"
"Hey, okay!"
So Wang Xun took Deng Wanwan to Nanluogu Lane. After arriving there, Wang Xun became excited.
He saw that almost every house had some old objects, and he wanted to take them away at junk prices, but he could barely understand the capital's words, but he couldn't speak.
Therefore, the residents here are not willing to sell their rags to him at all.
When he left Nanluoguxiang, Wang Xun had a face full of pain.
At this time, Deng Wanwan did not know that what she thought was collecting rags was actually fundamentally different from what Wang Xun said.
Deng Wanwan: Collecting rags is our main business.
Wang Xun: Picking up leaks is our main business!
…
At the same time that Deng Wanwan boarded the train, Deng Zhiyong came to Xinxin Clothing Store.
He found Gao Shufang and told her that Deng Wanwan would not work here again, so he was going to take away Deng Wanwan's belongings now.
Gao Shufang was dumbfounded. She felt that the matter had not reached this point, so she wanted to explain that she wanted to ask Deng Wanwan to come back and continue working.
But Deng Zhiyong didn't say much, but took Deng Wanwan's bedding and some luggage and left.
After Deng Zhiyong left, Gao Shufang thought for a moment and temporarily closed the door of the clothing store, then quickly came to the police station and found Huang Dazhi.
Her fourth brother went to work in the factory this morning, and now she was alone at home. Wanwan left, which was considered a big event. She had to inform her second brother as soon as possible.
The second brother and sister-in-law were gone, and now Wanwan was gone again. She was afraid that she would not be able to take charge of the clothing store business by herself.
"Don't worry, I will go to Gaojiacun right now and tell Mingcheng about this." After listening to Gao Shufang's story, Huang Dazhi agreed to the job.
After seeing Gao Shufang off, Huang Dazhi said something to his colleagues, and then rode his bicycle to Gaojiacun.
This is the job of a police officer. When there is no case, the time is relatively free.
When Huang Dazhi arrived at Gao Mingcheng's home, Gao Mingcheng was cooking lunch. Many beauties cannot smell the smell of cooking fumes, so they wander around the vegetable fields and pull out some unsightly weeds.
When someone approached, the two dogs noticed it in advance and ran towards the person, growling threateningly. However, after recognizing that they were acquaintances, the two dogs exuded less vicious intent.
"Dazhi, why are you here?" Duo Mei saw Huang Dazhi and said hello.
"How beautiful, is Mingcheng at home?" Huang Dazhi asked.
"Here, cooking, you can eat together here at noon!"
"Okay." Huang Dazhi responded casually, then put the bicycle away and walked to the kitchen.
The kitchen is filled with oil and salt, and the smell of dried cowpeas stewed with bacon floats in the air.
Cowpeas were picked last summer when they were ripe in large quantities. They were scalded with boiling water until half cooked, then covered with salt and dried in the sun. They were stored in jars and chopped into pieces and cooked with meat. They tasted delicious.
Today many beauties said they wanted to eat dried cowpeas, so Gao Mingcheng arranged for them.
Gao Mingcheng was also a little surprised when he saw Huang Dazhi coming.
"Ming Cheng, something happened! Deng Wanwan ran away alone last night. This morning her father, Deng Zhiyong, came over and took away her bedding, saying that Deng Wanwan had gone to other places. I asked clearly. Before Deng Wanwan ran away, your fourth brother said I liked Deng Wanwan, but Deng Wanwan disagreed and left."
Huang Dazhi told what happened succinctly, with a worried look on his face.
He was also an insider of Deng Wanwan's experiences.
Later, he learned that Deng Wanwan was working in Gao Mingcheng's shop, and he was even happy for Deng Wanwan.
But I didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Deng Wanwan, a little girl, went to another place, where could she go? Will you encounter difficulties?
Gao Mingcheng was also stunned. The amount of information was too much. After a while, he said: "After lunch, we will go back to the county!"
As for where Deng Wanwan went and what happened between her and Gao Mingli, he wanted to know these, but if he asked Huang Dazhi, he would not be able to tell anything.
Moreover, once Deng Wanwan left, Gao Shufang would be the only one in the clothing store. He was afraid that Gao Shufang would be too busy.
So after lunch, the three of them packed up and returned to the county.
Huang Dazhi did not ride a bicycle. Instead, he moved his bicycle into the bed of the tractor, and then sat in the bed with Duo Mei.
It was still a bit cold in early spring, so many beauties wore an extra coat and a thick hat just to avoid being caught in the wind.
Hurrying slowly all the way to the county, the tractor was parked in the backyard of Xinxin Clothing Store.
Huang Dazhi moved the bicycle down and said, "Mingcheng, I'm going back to the police station first."
"Okay, don't worry, I will take care of it." Gao Mingcheng nodded, then opened the door to the backyard and walked in from the backyard.
Hearing the noise, Gao Shufang looked over quickly. When she saw her second brother and second sister-in-law, she was so excited that she almost cried.
Gao Mingcheng first asked Duo Mei to rest, and then he asked Gao Shufang what happened at that time.
Gao Shufang actually didn't know much about it, but she told everything she knew.
Gao Mingcheng frowned and listened, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart.
This dissatisfaction stemmed from the fact that after Deng Wanwan left alone, Gao Mingli went to work in the factory the next day instead of asking for leave to find someone.
In fact, he could understand that Gao Mingli was more honest, so he didn't dare to ask for leave. Furthermore, he also took going to work very seriously, so he went to work instead of asking for leave.
But this also shows that Gao Mingli's so-called love is actually worthless.
Although Deng Wanwan did not agree to him, the woman she likes left alone. You don't know if she is safe, so how can you go to work with peace of mind?
Since you don't like it that much, then why bother with it?
After finding out more about it, Gao Mingcheng said, "I'll go to Deng's hometown and ask about Deng Wanwan's parents."
As he said that, he planned to drive a tractor to Deng's hometown.
At this time, a young man entered the store. Gao Mingcheng saw that he looked familiar and recognized him as someone who worked at the cultural relics management office.
As soon as the man came in, he said: "Gao Mingcheng, Director Wang asked me to come over and tell you that the little girl who used to work in your store is now working in the capital with Director Wang's nephew. Director Wang's nephew His name is Wang Xun, he is a very reliable person, so don’t worry.”
Gao Mingcheng didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Just as he was worried about Deng Wanwan's safety, someone came to send a message.
He sent the young man away and then went to Deng's hometown.
He wanted to know more about the inside story, and also tell Deng Wanwan's parents about Deng Wanwan's trip to the capital, so as to reassure them.
Not long after, he arrived at Deng's hometown and parked the tractor on the side of the road.
Residents in Deng's hometown live relatively densely, and the alleys are relatively small, so tractors can't even enter.
Gao Mingcheng had never been to Deng Wanwan's home before, but Duo Mei had come twice. According to Duo Mei, he quickly found Deng Wanwan's home.
The courtyard door of Deng Wanwan's house is closed, but through the gap in the door, you can see a half-finished palm mat placed under the eaves.
This was what Deng Zhiyong promised to make for his daughter. He had made a mat before, and this palm mat had just been made. It was not finished yet, but Deng Wanwan no longer worked in the clothing store.
There was no one at home, so I asked my neighbors and learned that Deng Zhiyong and his wife were working in the fields.
So Gao Mingcheng found the ground again, and then learned from Deng Zhiyong and his wife what happened to Deng Wanwan after she left.
Gao Mingcheng was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Finally, he told Deng Zhiyong and his wife what Director Wang had told him, took out some money, handed it over, and said, "This is Wanwan's salary. She left suddenly, and the salary has not been settled yet."
Deng Zhiyong and his wife were surprised and happy when they found out that their daughter had gone to the capital. When faced with the money handed over by Gao Mingcheng, they first refused, but later accepted it.
