After lunch, Zhang Hao came back with his wife and children. When he passed the gate, he found a large number of villagers gathered in front of the police station.
"Honey, please take them home first. I'll go over there and take a look. I don't know what happened?"
Zhang Hao pointed to the police station outside the car window.
"Dad, I want to go too."
Little Pudding said coquettishly.
Zhang Hao patted his youngest son on the forehead: "Be good and be obedient, it's too cold outside."
Since entering October, the temperature has dropped rapidly, and we are now at the tail end of a major cold wave. Even at noon, the outdoor temperature is only minus 27 or 8 degrees Celsius. Children are especially susceptible to frostbite.
"I'm not afraid of the cold."
Little Pudding patted the thick down jacket on his body, looking fearless.
"Disobedient, right?"
Zhang Hao became serious on the spot.
Yang Huaqing quickly spoke up to smooth things over: "Okay, little Pudding will go home with mom, and mom will take you two to make bear biscuits, okay?"
"Okay, I want the strawberry flavor."
Little Pudding was instantly diverted.
Zhang Hao nodded to his wife, then opened the car door and walked towards the police station, followed by two bodyguards who got out of another car.
Even though it is at the doorstep of your home, you still need to be guarded at all times.
"Boss Zhang, happy wedding!"
"Lao Zhang, have you eaten?"
"Big boss, where did this come from?"
Seeing Zhang Hao appear, the villagers greeted him one after another.
"After eating, today is the day for Hua Qing to come home. He just came back from his father-in-law's house."
Zhang Hao responded one by one.
Soon, he found Village Chief Fan in the lobby of the police station. There was an old woman lying on the ground next to him, staring at the ceiling motionless.
"Uncle Fan, what is this?"
When Village Chief Fan saw it was Zhang Hao, he pulled him out of the crowd and introduced in a low voice: "Old Zhang, this is Aunt Sun from the village. Aunt Sun's dog was robbed."
"Robbery? What's going on?"
Zhang Hao said in surprise.
You know, robbing is much more serious than stealing.
"Aunt Sun just went out to walk her dog. Unexpectedly, she encountered a group of masked men on the way. Without saying a word, they just snatched the dog and ran away."
Village Chief Fan replied.
"So arrogant? Have you been caught?"
"We didn't catch him." Village Chief Fan shook his head, "Director Yu has already led a team to hunt him down, but it is unlikely that he will be recovered. The other party came in a car and has probably disappeared long ago."
"Is this a professional gang? Just to snatch dogs?"
"You don't know something. Meat is expensive now. A kilogram costs less than two thousand yuan. Aunt Sun's dog is a big white bear. It weighs more than seventy kilograms and can be sold for at least 150,000 yuan."
Zhang Hao was immediately surprised: "Is meat so expensive?"
"We have a lot of money in Huicheng, and it's hard to buy fresh meat in the market. The price has naturally gone up, so there's no need to make a fuss." Village Chief Fan waved his hand.
In a sense, meat now has changed from a daily necessity to a luxury product and can no longer be measured by normal values.
"No wonder Aunt Sun is so...excited. Anyone who loses 150,000 yuan would feel bad."
"More than that!" Village Chief Fan shook his head, and then added: "Aunt Sun has been a widow for many years. She only has a single daughter. She married to the other side ten years ago. Now she has never seen anyone alive or dead. That big white bear is hers.
I bought it for my daughter when she came back to visit relatives, and it has a different meaning."
"I see, those people who snatched dogs are really wicked." Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh.
This dog is probably the last spiritual sustenance.
"Actually, I would say it's better to grab it."
Village Chief Fan suddenly sighed.
"Uh? What do you mean?"
"Aunt Sun's family doesn't store much food to begin with. In order to raise dogs, she goes hungry every day. How can she bear it if this continues?"
"It's true, no matter how important pets are, no one is important. Everything must be done within one's ability."
In the dream, their two pet dogs also did not escape the past. The next year, they were taken to the black market in exchange for some nutritional supplements.
I really can’t afford it, and I’m afraid of being remembered.
"Who says it's not the case? In fact, the dogs in the village have basically been dealt with, especially the large dogs. This is the only one left. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
Village Chief Fan shook his head subconsciously.
Zhang Hao sighed, and then asked with concern: "Now that the matter has come to this, how should we deal with the aftermath? If it really doesn't work, our guarding wolf dog just gave birth to a litter of paparazzi. Why don't you give one to Aunt Sun?"
”
"No, please don't, raising a dog is not a long-term solution."
"What should we do?" Zhang Hao glanced at Aunt Sun and said worriedly: "Looking at Aunt Sun, if we can't solve it in time, problems will occur sooner or later."
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a way." Village Chief Fan said confidently.
"What can I do?"
"Raising a dog is not as good as raising a baby. Let her go to a welfare home to adopt a child. She will get food stamps and subsidies for raising a child. At least she will not starve to death."
Zhang Hao's eyes suddenly lit up: "What a great idea. It kills two birds with one stone. The city has accepted hundreds of thousands of refugees before, and there must be many orphans among them. We don't have to worry about not being able to adopt them."
"Tomorrow, I will go to the orphanage to inquire about it."
Village Chief Fan nodded.
"Uncle Fan, try to pick someone older, preferably over seven years old. Aunt Sun is old after all. If the child is too young, I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of it."
Zhang Hao warned.
Village Chief Fan disagreed a little: "You can remember things at the age of seven, but if you don't know how to raise them, I still want to find a one or two years old?"
】
"I don't think it's necessary. You've seen Aunt Sun's body. To put it bluntly, she can't wait for her children to take care of her in old age." Zhang Hao advised.
"I understand, just do as you say!"
Village Chief Fan immediately figured it out.
After talking about Aunt Sun, Zhang Hao suddenly changed the topic: "Also, the security in the village needs to be strengthened. Is it okay to rob in broad daylight? We must pay attention to it."
"Since the establishment of the police station, we have really relaxed a lot. Lao Zhang, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Build a wall!"
Zhang Hao said it straightforwardly.
In the next two years, public security will only get worse.
"Build a wall?"
Village Chief Fan hesitated.
The area of Shawei Village is not very large, but it is at least tens of thousands of acres. This is no small project, and purchasing building materials is also a big problem.
"Yes, building a fence is a once and for all solution. By then, the entire village will be equivalent to a large closed community, and security will be greatly improved."
"The method is good, but how to get reinforced concrete? And it's winter now, which is not a good time for construction. I'm afraid we have to wait until next summer."
Village Chief Fan frowned.
"We don't need steel and concrete, just use iron fences. This kind of thing cannot be prevented. The biggest function of building a fence is to deter and prevent outsiders from entering and exiting at will.
If there is a wall this time, those who snatch dogs will not be so unscrupulous. Even if they intend to do bad things, they must think carefully beforehand."
"Then let's use an iron fence. Are there any for sale in the city?"
Village Chief Fan chose to follow goodness.
Zhang Hao waved his hand: "I don't know, I guess there is. I'll ask someone to help me find out later. I'll stay with you when I have any news."
"Okay, I'm going to trouble you again this time."
"I am also a member of the village, and I should be. But just having a fence is not enough. We also need to rebuild the patrol team. Director Yu and his team have too few police forces."
"We both thought of going together. People in the village are in panic now. Only the patrol team can calm people down."
