While Jiang Xinyu was sitting under the eaves, she heard footsteps coming from the courtyard door.
She quickly got up and went to the gate of the courtyard. She asked through the fence, "Is everything okay?"
Chen Yi raised his hand and handed her dry goods and some fruits and vegetables from the courtyard door. He briefly explained the situation and finally comforted her: "Okay, go back to sleep."
Jiang Xinyu was still worried and whispered: "Be careful of Zhang Tiezhu, who knows where he is squatting."
Chen Yi was naturally on guard against him, so the two of them walked with food on their backs after descending from Guizi Mountain.
Chen Yi was wearing a navy blue top and black trousers. As he walked further, he became one with the night.
Jiang Xinyu turned around with the dry goods in hand and saw Chen Xiuyun sticking her head out.
After the mother and daughter had a conversation, Jiang Xinyu went back to the house.
While she was tossing and turning on the bed, Li Lei and Chen Yi went back and forth a total of seven times before they completely carried all the things back and put them away. Just in case, they also secretly left a backup.
Widow Wang didn't dare to sleep, so she let the two of them relax outside the yard.
Chen Yi was so tired that he broke into a sweat and took another cold shower before falling asleep.
When Zhang Fengmei and the two find out that everything is gone, they will definitely pay special attention to the village members, so he does not plan to touch the wheat and peanuts for now. As for the fruits and vegetables that cannot be stored for too long, they can only eat them slowly at home first.
We'll deal with it later.
Chen Yi hadn't slept for long before it was dawn. He stood up, put cold water on his face and woke up.
Widow Wang was still dozing off. When she heard his movements, she asked half-awakely: "What are you doing up here?" She was so dozed off that she forgot that she was going to Chen Xiuyun's house at noon today.
Chen Yi said: "Take Xinyu to the town. I agreed with her yesterday. Don't you still want me to buy a piece of meat?"
Widow Wang woke up a little and turned over with a murmur. She didn't want to get up yet, "There are still pancakes in the kitchen. You can eat the shrimp paste that Xinyu sent yesterday before leaving."
Chen Yi was eating pancakes with the shrimp paste made by Jiang Xinyu, and felt that the shrimp paste tasted really good.
In the past, he didn't know that she could make dim sum, nor did he know that she could make pig pancreas soap. Now that the seasonings are limited, the shrimp paste she makes is also quite delicious, fresh and fragrant.
When he arrived at Jiang Xinyu's house, Jiang Xinyu was still sleeping soundly on the bed, but Chen Xiuyun came into the room and grabbed her up.
Jiang Xinyu was bleary-eyed when she got up, wishing she could lie back on the bed and sleep in the dark. She tossed and turned last night and didn't know when she fell asleep.
Chen Xiuyun and Chen Yi were talking while the water was boiling in the pot. After the water boiled, Jiang Xinyu gave Jiang Xinyu the few dried noodles left at home that she had been reluctant to eat.
The noodles were poured out and poured with cold water, and two spoonfuls of shrimp paste were poured over them. Jiang Xinyu was quite satisfied with the meal and felt quite sober.
And Chen Yi sat opposite her, eating the crunchy long melon that Comrade Chen Xiuyun forced on him.
Jiang Xinyu had eaten and drank enough, and it was already dawn. Most of the members had already gone to work under the urging of the team leader.
The rising sun was rising in the east, and the morning light was dim. The two of them rode bicycles towards the town facing the rising sun. Jiang Xinyu hugged his waist and squinted her eyes while blowing the morning breeze, resting her forehead on his back and falling asleep, feeling very comfortable.
The thief Zhang Fengmei went home early to cook after an hour of morning work, so she went to her own plot to pick some vegetables.
Looking at the obviously missing melons, Zhang Fengmei counted them several times in disbelief.
She can't read, but she can point her fingers. Now the big melons and cantaloupes in the field can't even gesture with her hands. They must have been robbed!
"Which unscrupulous person stole my melon..."
Zhang Fengmei started yelling and cursing in her private plot.
Hearing the commotion, the aunt, aunt, and daughters-in-law quickly came over.
They all echoed:
"I feel like there are fewer melons in my field. Not even a crooked melon is missing. I don't know which of my seventh grandchildren did it. I caught it and had to scratch its face."
The hairs on Zhang Fengmei's face suddenly stood up, and her arrogance dropped a bit.
"My family planted a few edamame trees this year, but I didn't get many of them, and they were all stolen by that ruthless beast! Let me know which one it is. If I catch it, I will send it to squat on the fence!"
Zhang Fengmei thought of the fragrant edamame beans boiled with a little salt the day before yesterday, and her arrogance subconsciously dropped.
When a group of female comrades gathered together to curse, Ma Meili arrived and saw that there were a lot of cantaloupe in the field. She immediately screamed, "Who stole my big watermelon..."
Ma Meili cannot listen to curses when she is angry, no matter how unpleasant it is.
Her parents' family didn't have melons, so she had planned to carry two big watermelons back to her parents' house, but she had to let her parents take a look. But in the blink of an eye, the big watermelon she had been staring at for many days was gone.
, and the small cantaloupes are also missing a lot.
Ma's beautiful loud voice immediately overshadowed the other aunts, aunts, and daughters-in-law.
In order to join the group and to clear her suspicions, Chen Xiuyun also came closer.
"Yesterday, my Xinyu said that there were a few melons missing in the field. She could count the total number of melons in the private plot very well. I didn't take it seriously yesterday, but today I counted them. Oh, two more melons are missing!"
Chen Xiuyun said with a cold face: "Let's go and talk to the captain about this matter. There is a melon thief in the village. How can we keep the things in our private land in the future? Every household lives on the private land, how can we let it go?"
Melon thieves are so rampant!"
Chen Xiuyun is a primary school teacher in the team and is also a cultural person. She is usually as respected as the women's director Ms. Wu Xiulian. When she started, all the female comrades responded and wanted to go to the team leader angrily.
There was no point in approaching the captain about this matter. Chen Xiuyun knew that everyone would never be able to find the lost watermelon, but he still had to give Zhang Fengmei, a habitual thief, a warning.
Everyone is furious. Is Zhang Fengmei afraid? She has to calm down for some time.
At this time, Zhang Fengmei was walking among a group of people. Her anger over the melon being stolen had not completely subsided, but the rising guilt made her feel a little anxious. She had not forgotten that she had been taught a lesson instead of stealing the pig baby. If she was raped this time,
If someone found out, she thought she might be torn apart by the villagers.
But Zhang Fengmei then thought about it, she was the victim now! All the melons in her field had been stolen, and she was not the thief! Zhang Fengmei straightened her back and scolded the melon thief together with other female comrades.
It was an eye-opener for Chen Xiuyun to listen to Zhang Fengmei scolding the flower thief!
The captain also had a headache after hearing the complaints from the female comrades.
A young daughter-in-law suggested: "If this thief is from our village and steals so many melons that we won't be able to eat them all in a short while, he must leave them at home. We will search them one by one, and we will definitely find them!"
"That's right, that's right. If you search from house to house, you will definitely find it! I know my family's melons, and that crooked-mouthed melon doesn't exist in other people's fields!"
Zhang Fengmei didn't react at all. The melons they stole were all on Guizi Mountain. Who could find them? Besides, whose melons were lying on the ground at someone's house right now! They should search, and they would definitely find the melon thief.
Chen Xiuyun's heart skipped a beat.
For the first time, she became a thief in order to take revenge on Zhang Fengmei. Will she be discovered so soon?
Sure enough, people can’t do bad things!
Last night, she thought about it and felt that the melon was not safe under the bed, so she moved it to another place, but she didn't know if these angry female comrades could find it!
The risk is a bit high!
Listen to me singing to you: Give me a ticket, can you~
