In the evening, Shen Xiaobei and several other educated youths who had worked all day washed up and went to bed early.
Kong Wanwan lay on the bed and waited silently for a long time.
Guessing that the others had fallen into a deep sleep like Ke Xiaoli who was sleeping next to her, she got up quietly.
Then he secretly opened the door of the room, then secretly opened the door of the main room, and finally used the key he had taken and placed under his pillow in advance to open the lock on the kitchen door.
Shen Xiaobei boasted while eating breakfast, saying that she would guarantee with her character that they would not be left without food at the end of the month.
It is only the middle of the month now, and there are still more than ten days before the end of the month when we can collect the food coupons for next month.
Kong Wanwan wants to catch her off guard!
Under the hazy moonlight, she poured all the rice in the rice can in the kitchen into a basin.
Then I picked up most of the sweet potatoes piled under the cupboard and put them in the basin.
Finally, he put the half bag of flour on the small wooden table in the kitchen into the basin along with the bag.
After preparing the three staple foods, she looked outside the door. After confirming that there was no one outside, she brought out the basin and gently closed the kitchen door.
In fact, Kong Wanwan was a little scared.
It’s not that I’m so afraid of being discovered suddenly.
But the quiet countryside late at night always makes people feel a natural mystery, which makes her feel a little creepy, and she dare not look too far.
However, when she thought of Shen Xiaobei, she felt so angry that her teeth itched.
Hatred can give birth to courage!
Therefore, she did this immoral act of wasting food tonight without hesitation!
She carried a heavy basin, crouched down a little, walked out of the yard lightly, looked around to see if anyone noticed her, and walked all the way to the river.
She didn't pour the food in the bowl into the river immediately.
Instead, he bravely walked forward for a distance, until he came to a place where the water level was lower, there was no laundry space by the river, and it was overgrown with weeds.
Then, he deliberately loosened the rope tied to the mouth of the flour bag.
Then he poured all the food in the basin into the river.
Looking at the food, the heavy ones sinking into the water and the light ones floating downstream, Kong Wanwan raised one corner of her mouth, revealing a smile of success.
Then he left in a hurry.
After returning home, she put the empty basin back to its original place in the kitchen, closed the door, and deliberately left it unlocked.
After quietly sneaking into the main room, he placed the key in a fixed and inconspicuous place where they usually placed the kitchen key.
Then he tiptoed back to his room and fell asleep with a secret and intense excitement.
The next morning, everyone woke up one after another to the sounds of roosters crowing and whistles.
After getting up, the first person to get the kitchen key and prepare to go to the kitchen water tank to scoop a glass of water to brush her teeth was Fan Huifang.
She walked to the kitchen and was about to insert the key into the lock to open the door, but was shocked to find that the kitchen door was not locked at all.
My heart sank involuntarily.
Before returning to her room last night, she made sure that she had locked the kitchen door 100%.
The kitchen is an important place for them. All the monthly rations for the six of them are stored there.
When the rice and flour were exchanged from the grain store, they were placed directly in the storage room in the house, but the total amount of food for six people was not much.
Moreover, sometimes it rains, and every day when I cook, I have to go to the utility room to get some staple food.
They all found it quite troublesome.
Later, she simply put it in the kitchen. Since there was no one at the educated youth site during the day and after washing up at night, she was responsible for locking the kitchen door.
So they all felt it was safe and that the food would not be stolen because the kitchen door was not locked.
But at this moment, Fan Huifang had a bad feeling and she hurriedly opened the door.
The first thing I saw was that the pile of sweet potatoes on the kitchen cabinet floor was obviously much smaller. Now, you can count the number of them at a glance.
Her heart suddenly started beating wildly, and she quickly opened the rice jar, but it was empty, not a single grain of rice!
Finally she discovered that even half a bag of flour was missing!
"Xiaobei, our kitchen was burglarized last night! All the rice and noodles were gone, and there were only a few sweet potatoes left!"
When Shen Xiaobei walked to the kitchen with a cup and a toothbrush, Fan Huifang said to her in a panic and anxious manner.
"What, Sister Huifang, how could this happen?"
"I clearly locked the kitchen door last night, but when I opened it just now, it wasn't locked!"
"Sister Huifang, are you sure you locked the door last night?"
"Of course I am sure. How could I forget such an important thing!"
"What happened? Was there a thief in our kitchen last night?"
Deng Yuliang and several others quickly came to the kitchen. When they learned what had happened, they were all shocked.
This group of educated youth had been in Baiju Brigade for so long, and they had never heard of anyone's food being stolen in the middle of the night.
Even if someone's family really doesn't have enough food, they usually go to their neighbors on both sides to borrow some, and then return it to them when the food is distributed.
I wouldn't be so wicked as to steal from other people.
Therefore, even if Fan Huifang really forgot to lock the kitchen door last night, it is unlikely that it would be such a coincidence that a thief broke in that night.
Everyone talked and discussed for a while, and decided to report the matter to the production team leader Ma Jiquan later.
At the gathering place under the old sycamore tree, Ma Jiquan, Ma Deliang and all the members present were shocked to hear that the food at the educated youth's site had been stolen.
They all said that it was unlikely that the items were stolen by members of their production team.
Seeing that no one had a clear idea, we couldn't delay today's work.
Ma Jiquan asked everyone to go back to work and stop discussing this matter.
After finishing his morning work, he would borrow half a pound of rice from his home for a few educated youth to eat for the day. During the lunch break, he would go to discuss with them how to deal with the matter.
When Fan Huifang heard Ma Jiquan's words, she felt a little comforted.
But she still felt very guilty and thought she was the one who was most responsible for the food theft. After all, she was the one who was responsible for locking the kitchen door every day.
Because she was preoccupied with things, Fan Huifang felt uncomfortable all over. When she was working the morning shift planting rice in the fields, her efficiency dropped a lot.
Kong Wanwan, who was the least efficient in her morning work yesterday, was actually much faster than Fan Huifang this morning. She looked serious, focused and very motivated.
Shen Xiaobei occasionally straightened up and glanced at her, always feeling that she was a little abnormal.
When finishing work in the morning, Shen Xiaobei used the excuse that he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach and was in a hurry to go to the toilet, so he did not go back with Fan Huifang, Kong Wanwan and Ke Xiaoli.
She carried them on her back and hurriedly stopped Ma Deliang, who was walking back with a scorebook in his hand.
"Horse Scorer, I need a favor!"
"Shen Zhiqing, what do you want me to help you with?"
Seeing Shen Xiaobei suddenly come to him alone, Ma Deliang looked up shyly to meet her gaze and asked with a smile.
