Even Liang Rong didn't go to eat. She also lost a pen and half a bottle of ink, and was arguing with other people who lost these things. Fortunately, her father engraved his name on her pen so that she could prove to others that it was her pen.
After all, there were so many people who lost things, and the pens were quite valuable. No one wanted to lose a pen in vain, so they all argued that the pen inside was hers.
After getting the things back, Liang Rong made another statement at the police station. She didn't come back until the police station was closed, and she didn't have time to eat.
"We've prepared five boxes of lunch for you. You can divide them among yourselves. I've also got hot water for you, Wenxiu, and Rongrong. You can soak your feet and heat up the food." Tian Tian said.
"Ah!" Li Wenxiu and Liang Rong were both very moved. They wanted to climb onto the bed and give Tian Tian a loving hug. "Thanks to you, Tiantian!"
After a day of hunger and cold, they come back home with meals to eat and warm water in the dormitory. Nothing could be happier than this.
"This is not something I did alone. Yu Juanhua, Yu Fang, and Gao Xiaofeng also helped you get meals. I was the one who got the hot water for you. But there are not many of us, so we can't get too many things, otherwise we would have gotten more. I don't know if these will be enough for you to share." Tian Tian said.
"Thank you!" Li Wenxiu and the others turned around and thanked Yu Juanhua and the others.
"You're welcome!" Yu Juanhua was a little embarrassed. It was the first time that their presence was so strong in the dormitory.
Originally, their family conditions were not good, and although the people in the dormitory would not deliberately laugh at them or isolate them, everyone was more accustomed to playing with people with similar family conditions.
Moreover, they all ate third-rate dry rations. In fact, they felt a little inferior and rarely got together with Ma Shuhua and the others. Now, they were suddenly flattered to receive so much kindness.
At this time, everyone in the dormitory was extremely united. The other eight people shared five boxed lunches. They simply scalded the lunch boxes with hot water to warm the rice inside, and then began to wolf down the food.
Tian Tian was actually quite happy to see them eating so happily. She accidentally glanced at Zheng Mingyue's empty bed and suddenly thought of the things Zheng Mingyue had lost. She asked Li Wenxiu, who was eating below, "Did Zheng Mingyue find the things she had lost?"
Zheng Mingyue did not come back with them today, and Tian Tian didn't know whether she had found Zheng Mingyue's things.
Li Wenxiu bit her cornmeal pancake and shook her head, "Zheng Mingyue didn't find anything."
Those food coupons would have been fine, but Zheng Mingyue's pen was a Hero brand pen, which was very valuable. The thief sold the pen as soon as he got it.
Li Wenxiu looked at the other people in the dormitory and saw that they were all concentrating on eating. Then she stood up, leaned close to Tian Tian's ear, and whispered to her, "I think the thing Zheng Mingyue lost was a piece of jade. All the pens in the office have been taken back, but no one has said who lost the piece of jade."
Tian Tian nodded in understanding. At that time, jade was indeed not a good thing. Zheng Mingyue had a good family background and her parents were both in high positions, so it was not easy for her to ask for the jade openly.
"I see Zheng Mingyue was in a bad mood after she left! I don't know how the police officers at the police station will deal with the jade." Li Wenxiu said.
"I feel like they will secretly hide the jade." Tian Tian also whispered to Li Wenxiu.
Although people are not allowed to touch antiques, gold, and jade nowadays, people are not stupid. They all know what is valuable and what is not. When people's homes are searched, many people secretly hide the valuable things and then sell them privately.
"I feel that Zheng Mingyue is quite pitiful. The things her grandfather gave her were lost, and she cannot get her family's belongings back openly." Li Wenxiu concluded.
Tian Tian nodded in agreement and looked at the food in Li Wenxiu's lunch box. "Hurry up and eat! The food will get cold soon."
Li Wenxiu nodded and sat back to eat.
After they finished their meal, they each took some of the water that Tian Tian poured for them and used it to soak their feet. They felt refreshed all over and then went to bed.
The matter just passed like that. Apart from often hearing other people complain when getting their meals that there was less food this month, I never heard any other topic on this matter again.
After resting at home for two days, Zheng Mingyue returned to the dormitory, as if the incident of losing things had never happened, and she bought a new Hero brand pen.
On Saturday and Sunday, Tian Tian planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some toilet paper. All the toilet paper she brought with her in her car had been used up, so she could only buy more at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Fortunately, she made a lot of money when selling things for Li Jiuniang, so it was more than enough to buy toilet paper.
On the way to the supply and marketing cooperative, Tian Tian saw someone parading with a sign hanging on his neck not far ahead. It was a boy of about eleven or twelve years old. He had a large, heavy wooden sign hanging around his neck. The wire around his neck had cut into his flesh. The words "theft" and "speculation" were written on the wooden sign.
The people around gathered in a circle, pointing and talking at the boy.
"This child is so young and he's already stealing things. Luckily he's been caught now, otherwise he'll be terrible when he grows up!"
"I know this kid. He often stole things when he was young. His parents couldn't control him. After his parents passed away, his stealing habit became even worse. But the neighbors thought his family was pitiful and he had younger brothers and sisters, so they didn't say anything. Occasionally, if he lost some vegetables or something, no one would make a fuss about it!"
"Now that their brother is like this, I don't know what to do with those kids in the future. There's a big stain on him!"
"If you ask me, these neighbors shouldn't have spoiled this child like this in the first place. If they had corrected this bad habit earlier, this wouldn't have happened now!"
“Who says it’s not?”
"I heard that he stole a lot of things this time. He stole all the food coupons in the school dormitory. A whole month's worth of food coupons were gone. Then the students called the police immediately!"
"A whole month's worth of food is gone?! A month's worth of food is 27 kilograms. If it were me, I would call the police too. If I had no food to eat this month, wouldn't I starve to death?"
