Xiao Aijun's question hit the nail on the head.

The man tried to calm himself and pondered for a long time.

Then he said, "Nobody bought it. When we came here yesterday, it was in the shack. There were two bottles of wine and two oil paper packages, one with pig's head meat and the other with peanuts."

"Wasn't this given by the brigade?"

Xiao Aimin's face darkened upon hearing this.

He slapped the kid again.

This time, they really got slapped in the face.

"You're dreaming! Pig's head meat and peanuts? So, you two can have wine and food to drink!"

The man nodded sheepishly: "Yes, we thought the team was just rewarding us for our hard work watching the field!"

I drank less, only half a bottle, while he drank more, a bottle and a half.

But that meat was really delicious. Team leader, this really wasn't prepared for us by the production team, was it?

Then, I got slapped again.

This time it's the back of the head.

Xiao Aimin's face darkened even more.

"You bastard, the brigade sent you here to guard the field. What's the job of guarding the field? Isn't it just to keep watch and prevent people from stealing things?"

"You're really something, drinking and eating with all that wine and meat! Do you even know our grain was stolen?!"

The man's face turned completely white.

The effects of the alcohol had worn off.

Look around at the grain piles.

Only then did they discover that a pile of plastic sheets had been lifted, and the grain was missing.

"Captain, I didn't do it on purpose! I didn't know anything about it!"

This time I was truly startled awake!

"You think you can get away with this just because you don't know? You're ruining things by drinking, how were you managing the grain?" Some of the surrounding villagers were unhappy.

Trying to shirk responsibility with just a few words? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

"Exactly, it's one thing to not know, but how do you calculate the amount of so much grain?"

The man listened, and his face turned pale!

These people aren't going to make him take responsibility, are they? They'll probably deduct it from his family's grain allowance at the end of the year.

Even if you deduct half, that's still a lot!

"Captain, I really don't know! I am..."

Just as the man was worrying, he heard someone shouting loudly.

"Hey, come quick! There's a piece of clothing here that looks like it belonged to an educated youth sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution!"

"There's still some grain left behind, it seems like it's heading towards the educated youth!"
