The bag was placed under the shed, and Chen Xiuyun was wondering where to put the melons.
She was a little worried because she didn't dig a cellar when she built the new yard. After all, the owner of the family had few precious things, but there was no place to put these watermelons and small melons. After all, she couldn't finish them all in a short while.
She poured out all the melons, and put the watermelons directly on the kitchen floor. As for the small cantaloupe, she gave Jiang Xinyu a long green melon to eat first, and took the rest into the house and put it under the bed first.
"Whenever your sister comes back, let her take some of it with her."
The melons she stole were placed under the bed. Chen Xiuyun felt uneasy even while sleeping. She thought about eating them quickly in the next two days, and there would be nothing left after eating them.
When Chen Xiuyun came back from stealing the melon, she became restless. She thought to herself that she was really not a thief. She stole the melon back in one breath, and now she was very nervous.
As a human being, you really can't do anything wrong.
Jiang Xinyu brought the fried shrimp into the house and said, "Mom, try it. It's delicious."
Chen Xiuyun looked at the fried shrimps that were yellow and reddish, and thought, can they be delicious if they are deep-fried?
Chen Xiuyun pinched one and put it into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it and said: "This can be kept for a few days. I will go to the county another day to bring some food to your sister."
She thought to herself that those "stolen items" must be disposed of quickly, and she should run an errand!
The fruits and vegetables these days are absolutely authentic. Jiang Xinyu was sitting under the eaves, eating the fragrant long melon and looking in the direction of the courtyard door.
Zhang Fengmei and her eldest brother Zhang Dali walked up to Guizi Mountain with their bags on their backs. They didn't dare to make any big noise. The things were heavy and they were afraid of accidentally falling, and their pace was not fast.
After Chen Yi and Li Lei climbed up to Guizi Mountain, they quickly caught up with their backs.
The two of them followed far behind, just making sure not to lose them.
I saw the two of them walking further and further, and finally reached the lee of a hillside, where their figures disappeared. Within ten minutes, the two figures reappeared, one walking towards the direction of Shenzhuang Brigade, and the other returning the same way.
Zhang Fengmei seemed to be carrying something else in her hand.
The two of them squatted quietly in the grass and watched Zhang Fengmei pass by.
The moon was partially obscured by dark clouds, so it was not clear what she was holding in her hand.
The two of them squatted there and waited for a long time. When there was no other sound except the chirping of insects and birds, they walked towards the back of the slope.
There is an old tree growing on the slope, with lush branches and a large crown.
The two of them didn't take the risk of turning on the small flashlight, and after groping for a while, they couldn't find any place to hide anything.
Li Lei crouched and looked around. He lost his footing and fell down, chewing on the mud. He barely managed to make a sound.
"Chen Yi, here, there is nothing under my feet." Li Lei called out in a low voice.
The two of them dug through a thick layer of grass, and in front of them was a dark hole that was only half a person tall enough for one person to pass through. After the two of them ducked in front and back, the hole became taller and they could straighten their waists, but they still couldn't.
You have to bend down.
The cave is not damp and is a good place to store things.
Chen Yi turned on the flashlight and illuminated the situation inside the cave.
After seeing the situation in the cave clearly, Li Lei hissed.
The eight and a half man-sized bags in front of him were filled with dried wheat that had not been shucked or completely ground into powder. Each bag was at least twenty kilograms, and these eight bags were conservatively estimated to weigh one hundred and sixty kilograms.
This year, the national purchase price is 1.4 cents per pound, but if you want to sell it on the black market, it will cost more than this.
Although Li Lei is also a good young man who works in the factory step by step, how could he not know about the black market at such an old age? Whose family has enough food these days? Don't you have to think of something?
The eight bags of wheat are not finished, and there are still two bags of unshelled peanuts.
Most of the brigade under Hongqi Commune grows crops such as wheat, peanuts, and sweet potatoes. After harvesting the wheat, they will continue to plant corn. When the wheat and peanuts come down every year, the brigade will distribute some to each household, but definitely not much!
It also has to be supplemented with the spare food left over from last year just in case. Wheat and peanuts are definitely not as much as corn. It can be said that corn and sweet potatoes are the main food rations.
Because there are indicators above, most of the peanuts and wheat have been turned in. Peanuts are definitely considered a rarity. The market price of shelled peanuts is higher than that of wheat, but the two of them had two big bags in front of them.
In addition to wheat and peanuts, there are five bags of fruits and vegetables and some odds and ends dry goods.
Li Lei was surprised, "Did these two steal the team's granary?"
Chen Yi touched the dry wheat grains, thinking the same thing as Li Lei.
He has a pretty good understanding of people's lifestyle nowadays. Some people may exchange wheat for more other cheap grains, but he doesn't think that people who steal things and sell them are willing to pay to buy them. I'm afraid the things in this hole will come out.
The roads are not straight.
Chen Yi looked at the dry goods and said, "I can deal with the other things later. Do you want to take these dry goods home and keep them to eat?"
Li Lei scratched his head and said, "I don't want to draw attention to myself. There are many people in my family, so gossiping will inevitably arouse suspicion."
Chen Yi nodded, "Okay, since you don't want it, I'll take it back."
Li Lei said with some embarrassment: "You and I will move all these things back and put them away. If you want to sell them, just give me ten yuan, so that I can save some private money. I don't want any more."
"
"Someone in our factory should be asking for wheat. When the time comes, I'll ask secretly to see if anyone can "change" it, but I'll have to trouble you to give it to you then."
Before starting work, it is necessary to clarify how to distinguish.
Li Lei was embarrassed to ask for too much. He felt that the things in the cave were worth at least a hundred yuan, but he could not ask for food directly because there were too many people in the family and it was difficult to take it back.
What's more, his monthly salary is handed over to his family. There are too many mouths to eat at home, and he has not been able to save much private money so far.
Li Lei understands that he can work in the county because he has contributed to his family, and it is natural for him to repay his family, but this does not conflict with him making some private money and keeping it to serve his future family.
Chen Yi said: "We'll give it 40 to 60 cents for how much we sell it. There are also melons from my partner's family here, and I have to leave some food for her family."
If these wheats are too conspicuous and have not been completely shelled, Chen Yi will not sell them, but they can be eaten for a long time if they are kept.
However, it is a pity that the wheat flour in the brigade is ground on top of the grinding mill. The members are all watching. If it is ground too much, won't it be conspicuous? You can grind it at home, but the grinding is too slow and it is very inconvenient.
Li Lei hurriedly refused, and the two argued for a while, and finally settled on a score of 30-70.
After talking about the "dividing the stolen goods", Li Lei asked: "My house doesn't have a place to hide these things, what about your house?"
Chen Yi knew that there was a cellar in his mother's house, so he said, "Let it go to my house."
Widow Wang is aggressive outside, but she is actually a cautious and careful person. The cellar at home is specially used for hiding things, and it has been for many years.
