Chapter 45

Zhao Tingting was stunned, "How come the bird meat is gone?"

Susie's face also darkened. It was impossible for the cooked bird meat to grow wings and fly. Someone must have eaten it secretly.

Zhao Tingting and Tian Xiaohui are not suspicious yet, but Ruan Zhonghua and Wang Jihong have never entered the kitchen house except for lunch. Qin Man came back at noon and stayed in the room without coming out. Chen Changqing and Yu Xue haven't returned yet, so they have the opportunity to eat secretly.

Those who sell bird meat are Niu Jianguo, Zhang Weidong, and Chen Jun.

At this time, Niu Jianguo and Chen Jun were also cooking in the kitchen. Niu Jianguo glanced here after hearing Zhao Tingting's words.

As for Chen Jun, who was squatting on the ground and lighting a fire, he didn't know whether he didn't hear it or what, but he didn't react at all.

Su Qian's eyes stayed on Chen Jun for a while. She was a little suspicious of Chen Jun, but there was no evidence.

Tian Xiaohui was impatient and yelled, "What's the matter? Someone must have eaten it secretly? How shameless is it to steal other people's things!"

Niu Jianguo frowned and turned away when he wanted to say something. Chen Jun still pretended not to hear.

Su Xi pulled Tian Xiaohui, "Forget it, let's eat first."

Seeing that Ruan Zhonghua and Wang Jihong looked a little embarrassed, she smiled and said, "Eat, eat. This fungus stewed chicken won't taste good if it's cold."

Tian Xiaohui also shut up and stopped talking, but her expression was still a little angry.

At the dinner table, Susie tried her best to liven up the atmosphere, and the food was very delicious. Everyone soon forgot about the bird meat and all enjoyed eating.

After dinner, Ruan Zhonghua and Wang Jihong hurriedly left. Su Qian couldn't hold them back, so she had to take out a flashlight from the house and give it to Ruan Zhonghua, "Be careful on the road."

Ruan Zhonghua took the flashlight, a little reluctantly, "Then, when we get the air rifle, we will come over and tell you to go hunting in the mountains."

Susie smiled and nodded. She found out in the afternoon that Wang Jihong's brother was the militia captain of the commune. He had a gun and an air rifle at home. There was also an old hunter in their village who had a shotgun.

After watching Ruan Zhonghua and the others leave, Su Qian turned around and saw Yuan Gang and Tian Xiaohui whispering in the chicken coop on the courtyard wall. She smiled and went back to the house.

Back home, Susie flipped through the junior high school algebra book she found at the scrapyard today and read it carefully under the lamp.

In her previous life, she debuted at the age of sixteen and took the college entrance examination at the film school at the age of eighteen. She was filming almost all the time during her second and third years of high school and didn't take much classes. During filming, she hired a tutor to give her extra lessons.

She remembers that she scored more than 500 points in the college entrance examination, which was more than 20 points higher than the first-tier exam.

Although many years have passed, algebra in junior high school is still relatively simple and I can understand it by myself.

After a while, Tian Xiaohui came in from the outside. Zhao Tingting smiled and said, "What did you whisper to Yuan Gang?"

Tian Xiaohui was too stupid to hear what Zhao Tingting meant, but instead said mysteriously: "Do you know what Yuan Gang Qiaomu and the others did today?"

Zhao Tingting and Su Qian both shook their heads in unison.

Tian Xiaohui whispered: "They went to the county hospital with Zhu Zhicheng to sell blood."

Su Qian looked at Tian Xiaohui in surprise, and Tian Xiaohui said seriously: "We sold it for a lot of money. I said one person got 20 yuan."

She shook her head, "When all the money in my hand is spent, I will sell my blood."

Susie chuckled lightly, "You still dare to sell blood? Isn't it enough for you to bleed every month?"

Zhao Tingting burst out laughing, Tian Xiaohui blushed and laughed, "I didn't expect this."

"I heard from Yuan Gang that Zhu Zhicheng sells blood every few months, and all the money from selling blood is sent home. His mother is in poor health and takes medicine all year round, which costs money."

Susie sighed, "You can't sell blood all the time, your body will collapse."

Tian Xiaohui sighed, "Qiao Mu is such a nice person. He used the money from selling his blood to buy rice for us to eat."

Zhao Tingting glanced at Su Qian calmly. Su Qian frowned and said nothing. Even if there was rice, it was impossible for the female educated youth to eat rice. Let the male educated youth eat sweet potato rice.

But we really can’t afford to eat white rice together, and rice is not so easy to buy.

She stood up, took two apples from the cabinet, thought about it and took one more, and went to the stove.

After washing the apples and putting them in a dustpan, she walked outside Qiao Mu's room and knocked on the door.

The door was ajar, Yuan Gang opened it, saw Su Qian and enthusiastically let her into the room.

Susie put the bucket on the table and said, "Get you some food."

She paused and said, "From now on, don't buy rice specifically. What you eat is what we female educated youths eat. We will save the rice for the New Year and the holidays."

Qiao Mu's bed was at the end. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, facing the door. The light was dim and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.

Susie smiled and left, closing the door behind her.

As soon as I went out, I heard Yuan Gang say, "Come on, come on, let's all eat apples, one for each person."

Then Zhu Zhicheng's low voice said, "You eat it, I don't want it."

Yuan Gang said loudly: "Why not? There are three here, obviously one for each person. Eat, there is still water on it, Su Qian must have washed it."

Su Qian went back to the room and sat at the table, picked up the math book and continued reading. Then she heard Tian Xiaohui say: "Si Qian, is this the matter of wild bird meat being stolen?"

"I feel like Chen Jun stole it."

Zhao Tingting added, "Niu Jianguo might also be involved. I think he is quite greedy."

Susie put down the book and said, "Without evidence, we can't say anything about this matter."

Tian Xiaohui was a little angry, "Then you got that thief so much for nothing?"

Susie thought for a while, pursed her lips and smiled, "When I find a chance, I will retaliate to this thief. Our food is not that delicious."

Tian Xiaohui came over and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Susie pulled her braid and said, "Don't worry, you will know when the time comes."

When she got up early the next day, Susie saw Qiao Mu chopping bamboo again. She walked over and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Qiao Mu didn't raise his head, "Make a fence and enclose a piece of land to prevent the chickens from running around and pooping."

Susie gave him a thumbs up and said, "That's really thoughtful." Those chicks were still in the paper box and didn't dare to let them out.

Just as Su Qian was about to leave, she heard Qiao Mu say again: "Tell me what you want to do in the future, and don't bother outsiders."

Su Qian knew they were talking about the chicken coop, so she couldn't help but explain: "I met them in Qingshi Town yesterday. It was Hua Zi who saw that we bought chickens and took the initiative to build a chicken coop. I originally wanted you to do it."

Qiao Mu looked back at Susie and said softly, "Yeah."

Su Qian went into the kitchen house to fetch water and squatted with Zhao Tingting under the eaves to brush her teeth, when she saw Yu Xue coming out from next door.

Yu Xue wore a red hairpin on her head, a brand-new red plaid jacket, and the camel-colored pants underneath had straight seams and looked new. She also wore a pair of black leather shoes!
