Villagers like to sit together and chat after dinner, talking about the parents of the East and the shortcomings of the West.

I don’t know who said something. Overnight, the news that the old Shen family made a lot of money by growing grapes spread in Qinghe Village. There were also rumors that the reason why the old Shen family’s granddaughter I gave up a good job in a big city and came back to my hometown because growing grapes can make a lot of money.

Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen have been very busy recently and rarely move around the village, so they don't know the news.

Returning from Yunchuan once again to deliver goods, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when the Shen Qiuqiu brothers got home.

Grandpa Shen is currently watching the anti-war drama on Channel 8. It is now the time when the TV drama is broadcast, but the old couple are not in front of the TV as usual.

Shen Qiuqiu finished washing her hands and swept around the yard, but her grandfather was nowhere to be seen. She turned around and saw her grandma with a sullen face and a somewhat absent-minded look. She quickly asked: "Grandma, is something going on at home?"

Grandma Shen sighed and nodded subconsciously. When she came to her senses, she was afraid that the two children would be worried, so she quickly shook her head.

Something happened at home, but it wasn't a big deal.

But it turned out that Grandpa Shen went to the fields to look at grapes this morning as usual, and when he arrived at the gate of the vineyard, he noticed something was wrong.

There were two deep footprints at the door of the vineyard, and there were a few trampled grapes on the ground... When I left yesterday, there were clearly no such things.

Grandpa Shen hurriedly walked into the vineyard to check. After walking around the garden, he found that several branches of a grapevine had been torn off by someone, and there were some fruit bags scattered on the ground. (Technical Measures for Pollution-free Fruits) , after the grape thinning is completed, use a special fruit bag to cover the fruit ears to prevent diseases and insects.)

Fruit bags can prevent diseases and insects. They are usually removed after picking. Grandpa Shen will collect the removed fruit bags and will never throw them away casually in the field like this.

Based on various signs, Grandpa Shen concluded that there was a thief in the vineyard last night.

The theft wasn't too big, as Qinghe Village is located in a remote area, with no access to the village or shop, so most of the crimes were committed by villagers.

Grandpa Shen was so angry that he even went to see the village chief, but he didn't know that the village chief was not at home and had gone to the town for a meeting.

Worried that someone would steal the grapes again, Grandpa Shen went home, packed his luggage, took a flashlight, and headed to the vineyard with Rhubarb in hand.

When he planted grapes in the first year, Grandpa Shen asked someone to haul two carts of hollow bricks and built a house in the vineyard where he usually kept farm tools and other things, but this time it came in handy.

Grandpa Shen threw his luggage into the hut and planned to stay here from now on. Even dinner was prepared by Grandma Shen at home and sent to him in the vineyard.

After hearing the whole story, Shen Qiuqiu also had a headache. They said that big trees attract wind and money attracts thieves. Even though they were not making much money, they already attracted thieves.

This matter was a bit tricky, and she couldn't think of any good way to solve it for a while. But she couldn't let her grandpa live alone in the vineyard. It didn't matter if the grapes were stolen. Grandpa was old. If something happened, It's too late to regret.

"No, we still have to get grandpa back."

Thinking of this, Shen Qiuqiu didn't care about eating, went back to the house to find a flashlight, and was about to go to the vineyard to find grandpa.

Shen Jiashu quickly stopped her, "Sister, it's pitch black outside, I'd better go."

Grandma Shen waved her hand and told them to sit down and eat, "You two, sister and brother, stop fighting. You are still hungry. Eat your food first."

"But……"

Shen Qiuqiu wanted to say more, but Grandma Shen had already filled the rice bowl and handed it to her.

"It's not like you don't know the old man's stubborn temper. Even eight cows can't get him back from whatever he decides. I tried to persuade him this afternoon, but it didn't work.

Fortunately, Rhubarb is here. Don't look at it, which behaves like a cat in front of you, but howls fiercely in front of outsiders."

There is a reason why Grandma Shen is so relieved.

The villagers of Qinghe Village have lived here for generations, and the neighbors know each other well. There are idle and lazy people everywhere, but there are definitely no treacherous and evil people in Qinghe Village.

What's more, there are several families living near the vineyard. If something happens and Dahuang calls, they will rush over to help in time.

Shen Qiuqiu was still a little worried, frowning, and was so worried that she couldn't even eat.

Shen Jiashu ate the pickles, ate up the rice in the bowl in several mouthfuls, wiped his mouth and said, "Sister, you stay with grandma at home, and I'll go to the vineyard to keep grandpa company."

This is also a way. Shen Qiuqiu nodded and went back to the house to find his grandfather's military coat. Thinking that there were many mosquitoes in the vineyard, he got him a bottle of toilet water.

"Be careful on the road."

After sending his brother out, Shen Qiuqiu stood at the door in a daze for a while.

There are still five or six tons of grapes in the vineyard, which cannot be sold out in a short while... But how can you guard against thieves if you only have a thousand days to be a thief?

Grandma Shen took her granddaughter back to the kitchen to eat, and muttered: "If it doesn't work out, just sell it directly to the cooperative. Sell it all at once. If you sell Qingjing, you won't have to stay in the land to attract thieves."

Shen Qiuqiu nodded, this was a solution, but I was afraid that grandpa would not agree.

That night, Shen Qiuqiu tossed and turned in bed.

In the vineyard, Grandpa Shen and Shen Jiashu didn't sleep well. At first, the floor was too hard and they couldn't sleep. In the second half of the night, Rhubarb suddenly screamed. The grandfather and grandson quickly took the flashlight and went out to check, and heard a faint rustling. There was a rustling sound, and when I looked carefully, I couldn't see anyone.

Grandpa Shen couldn't sleep anymore, so he took Dahuang and sat guarding the door.

Shen Jiashu has been busy delivering goods to his sister these past few days and has not had a good rest. At this time, he has been yawning all day long and is very sleepy. He can't help but advise: "Grandpa, sleep for a while. Those people were scared away by the rhubarb. , I guess I won’t dare to come.”

Grandpa Shen waved his hand, "You go to bed first, Grandpa can't sleep."

I sat here until dawn.

Shen Qiuqiu cooked noodles and delivered them to the two of them early in the morning. Seeing them sitting at the door, she was surprised and asked, "Why are you getting up so early? Are there too many mosquitoes and you can't sleep?"

Shen Jiashu looked at his sister with a panda on his head, "There are no mosquitoes, but thieves are here. Grandpa and I stayed guard all night."

Hearing that the group came again last night, Shen Qiuqiu was angry and frightened, and rarely got angry. "These people are too rampant. There is no way to stay here all the time. If that doesn't work, let's call the police."
