Chapter 5 Chapter 5 "Hey, I got both."
Although it was a little less, Jiang Shuangshuang had no plans to leave this area.
Which place has the most thieves?
There are definitely a lot of bus stations and train stations, and passengers lose items almost every day. I'm afraid you'll find several within a few minutes of arriving.
But that place is too unsafe.
It was definitely a gang crime, they all knew each other, and catching one could lead to a whole basket of criminals.
She also left her comfort zone.
In this area, one has to deal with the police quite a lot. I don't know how many times I have run through the path to the police station. If I really encounter something that cannot be solved, the best option is to run away. I ran all the way to the police station and hid there. Are you afraid that no one will protect me?
Catching thieves and getting a bounty is a good thing.
But taking risks for the sake of bonuses is really not in her character.
So the next day, Jiang Shuangshuang planned to continue hanging around the old place.
It would be best if you could meet some "lucky people", but if not, you can always pick up coal slag.
Early in the morning, Jiang Shuangshuang went out empty-handed.
Following behind him was a teenager carrying two baskets and holding two pliers.
The boy yawned as he walked, his body swaying, but at least he kept up with his second sister and did not fall behind.
It’s not that I don’t want to fall, but I dare not fall.
The second sister had beaten up her cousins, and she didn't let her younger brother off either.
The only difference was that he was given some face and wasn't hit in the face.
He was originally quite angry and aggrieved after being beaten, but when he saw that his cousins had pig-like faces for nearly half a month, his annoyance disappeared immediately, and he even felt a little relieved.
As they walked, Jiang Xiaozhou raised his head and took a deep sniff. His eyes widened instantly, "Sister, it's the smell of steamed buns!"
That's the bad thing about where they live.
The main road passes by a state-owned hotel, and you can smell all kinds of aromas every time you pass by.
I can only smell it but can't eat it, and my mouth is full of greed but my heart is full of greed.
He was just about to lick his lips when he saw his second sister walking towards the Communist-run hotel.
This this this!!
Is the second sister going to treat him to white flour steamed buns? !
Jiang Xiaozhou was no longer sleepy at all and quickly ran over.
But when I got to the door, I was too embarrassed to step in, so I just stood there looking around.
Three large steamed buns!
The second sister was eating one, and the other two were wrapped in oil paper.
Even if I can't get the whole thing, I should be able to get most of it, right?
Seeing his second sister coming out, Jiang Xiaozhou subconsciously reached out, "Mine, mine."
As a result, Jiang Shuangshuang tilted her body and passed him by.
Jiang Xiaozhou was stunned, turned around and chased after her, "Sister, I want to eat too."
"If you want to eat, buy it yourself." Jiang Shuangshuang continued to chew.
I had a meal before going out.
It's corn porridge again, one bowl of it is only half full.
Add a steamed bun bigger than a grown man's fist and it would be just perfect.
The remaining two are eaten one for lunch and one for dinner.
Perfect!
But it's not impossible to leave one child for Xu Ma. It's not a big deal to rely on the parents every day, but at least let Xu Ma rely on the younger one. It will be a bit of comfort in her heart, right?
"I don't have any money." Jiang Xiaozhou was so anxious that he wanted to pull her sleeve, but when he touched the edge, he pulled his hand back in fear, saying anxiously, "Sister, sister, I'm hungry."
Jiang Shuangshuang was unmoved and glanced at him. "Let's see how you perform."
What is the manifestation?
That would naturally be picking up coal slag.
There is a track half an hour east of the family compound.
Freight trains carrying coal would pass by from time to time.
If you shake it a little, some coal slag will fall out. If you are lucky at the right time, you can pick up half a basket.
Jiang Shuangshuang's luck has never been good.
She didn't stay here all day. When she arrived, the green train had either passed by or had not yet arrived. The stones beside the railway track had already been cleared away, and it was considered lucky if she could pick up a few pieces.
But she didn't expect to pick up much.
If you can pick one up, it’s a pleasant surprise; if you can’t, just treat it as fun.
As soon as she arrived, Jiang Shuangshuang noticed that there were a lot more people on the railway tracks today.
Originally, most of the people who came were teenagers or elderly people.
She waved in a certain direction, and a little girl carrying her sister on her back ran over, "Sister Shuangshuang."
Jiang Shuangshuang asked, "Why are there so many people here today?"
The little girl said in a crisp voice, "I heard that two trains will arrive soon. Many people heard the news and came to pick them up. Sister Shuangshuang, please wait a little longer and don't leave early."
"Okay." Jiang Shuangshuang broke off a small piece and handed it over.
The little girl's eyes sparkled, and she wiped her body with her hands for a few times before reaching out to take it. "Thank you, Sister Shuangshuang."
"Thank you for the news." Jiang Shuangshuang waved her hand, "Go and get busy."
Jiang Xiaozhou, who was standing nearby, watched with envy and quickly joined in picking up the coal slag.
I don't know if it was his luck, but he actually found a small piece in a corner of the railroad track. He didn't even bother to use pliers to clamp it, but just reached out and took it out, then ran to his second sister with it.
"Sister, sister, look!"
It's a very small piece, about the size of a fingernail.
Jiang Shuangshuang also pinched a similarly sized steamed bun and passed it over, "Hey."
It's really just a tiny bit. You don't even need to chew it when you put it in your mouth. You can swallow it with just a sip.
I wanted to eat it before I tried it, and I wanted to eat it even more after I tried it.
Jiang Xiaozhou groaned, "Sister, sister, please give me some more."
"I'm not your mother, why should I comply with your request?"
Jiang Xiaozhou pouted, "But mom doesn't always go along with me."
"..." Jiang Shuangshuang was stunned.
I tilted my head slightly and thought about it, and it seemed so.
Mother Xu is definitely not a loving mother. Even though Father Jiang passed away early and she had to raise the three children in the family by herself, she still knew how to educate them and never spoiled them.
But I don’t know if God wants to add some difficulties to her life.
The three children I raised are more troublesome than the last.
She didn't want to bother with the annoying guy in front of her, "Go and play somewhere else."
"Sister!" Jiang Xiaozhou twisted his waist and acted coquettishly. When he was about to act like a rogue, his second sister glared at him and he immediately went to the railroad track with pliers.
It seems that it is impossible to hum, and we still have to rely on hard work to get it.
But there were so many people here today that they almost crawled on the ground to look for it, but he just couldn't find the second piece.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaozhou saw a black spot nearby and immediately rushed over there. However, he was still a little slow. Just when he was about to touch it, someone had already reached out with pliers to clamp it.
He yelled a few times, and before rushing to put the man into the bamboo basket, he shouted, "Brother, I saw this first!"
The tall and thin man was stunned.
Jiang Xiaozhou couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Normally, whoever picks up the item gets it by default.
Something like "When I see you, you have to give me what you picked up" is a bit unreasonable.
Jiang Xiaozhou also understood that he was being unreasonable, otherwise how could he appear guilty when the other party remained silent?
Just when I was about to turn around and run, the other party suddenly said, "Okay, I'll give it to you."
As he spoke, he swung the pliers and the coal slag fell into Jiang Xiaozhou's bamboo basket.
He was so shocked that his eyes widened, and he said, "Brother, can you give me a little more? I have been looking for it for a long time and this is all I can find. I will definitely be beaten by my second sister when I go back..."
No matter how pitiful the tone is, it cannot conceal the shamelessness within the words.
When Gu Gaofei looked at him, he couldn't help but think of his younger brother.
He was this height when he left. I haven't seen him for several years and don't know how he is now. Without much hesitation, he passed the coal slag he had picked up to me, and said in a friendly manner, "Is this finally done?"
"Thank you, brother!" Jiang Xiaozhou thanked him loudly.
Without causing any more trouble, he turned around and ran away.
After running to a pile of rocks, he stared at the tall and thin man for a few minutes before running all the way to his second sister. He couldn't help but said excitedly: "Sister, sister, I saw the thief!"
Jiang Shuangshuang did not stop what she was doing and continued to rub the straw rope with the thatch.
There is a waist rope in his hand.
But this thing is just borrowed from home temporarily. If it breaks, I guess Mother Xu will be furious.
So she found some straw and used her own secret recipe to make a rope that was more resilient. If she caught a thief in the future, she could just tie him up with the rope and take him away by the other end.
Of course, it’s not that you can’t buy this thing.
The supply and marketing cooperative has plenty of ropes that are better than her secret recipe.
But people are poor, so we have to rely on manual labor.
"Sister, did you listen?" Jiang Xiaozhou was anxious and excited. He explained in a low voice how the coal slag in his basket came from, and then said: "That man is so weird. He came here specifically to pick up coal slag and give it to others? And he kept staring at others. His mind was not on picking up coal slag at all."
If it were him, he would not give up the coal slag he picked up even if someone knelt down in front of him.
Of course, this group does not include my second sister.
If it were his second sister, he would have to kneel down and give her the coal slag he picked up.
Look at that man again.
The things I picked up were given away for free. For every one I gave up, I lost a few more.
He didn't think anyone would be so kind.
Those who can come here to pick up coal must be from families that are not doing well, so they pick up whatever they can. Otherwise, who would be willing to run to the railway tracks every day?
It turned out that this person didn't care at all and just gave it as a gift.
So he kept it in mind, hiding behind the stone pier and watching quietly, just to find out his situation.
It’s true!
The man was not interested in picking up coal slag at all. He kept staring at the people around him from time to time. He looked sneaky and it was obvious that he was not a good person!
"Jiang Xiaozhou."
"Huh?"
Jiang Shuangshuang glanced at him coldly, "Who taught you to beg from others?"
"..." Jiang Xiaozhou shrank his neck, not caring whether his second sister would hit him or not. He stretched out his hand and pulled her clothes to let her see, "Take a look first, that person is really not right!"
Jiang Shuangshuang looked at it.
To be honest, there are indeed some suspicious behaviors.
Regardless of whether he is a thief or not, the man’s main purpose for coming to the railway track is definitely not to pick up coal slag.
He pays close attention to the people around him.
Generally speaking, people who pick up coal slag will not focus on just one place. If they can't find it in this place, they will definitely move to the next place. But this man is not like that. He seems to be fixed in one area, wandering back and forth.
While turning over stones, he secretly spied on the people around him.
"What? Isn't it a bit strange?" Jiang Xiaozhou was very excited. He knew how his second sister made money, and he knew more than his mother. "I discovered this first. If you really get a bonus, you have to share some with me."
Jiang Shuangshuang glanced at him and said, "Just wait, I'll settle the score with you when I come back."
"..." Jiang Xiaozhou frowned.
Jiang Shuangshuang threw the straw rope to him and said, "Stay here."
After saying that, he took a pair of pliers and walked towards the man. When he got close, he naturally bent down and turned over the stone.
Compared to the man, Jiang Shuangshuang's posture of looking for coal slag is more familiar and natural than his. She deliberately follows a different path from the man, but always pays attention to each other.
About five minutes later.
When she saw the other person passing by a middle-aged man, she quietly reached her hand into the bamboo basket behind his back. When she withdrew her hand, she was holding something wrapped in oilcloth.
Jiang Shuangshuang did not hesitate. She took a step forward and was behind the man in an instant. She kicked the man accurately on the back of his knee.
The man reluctantly dodged to the side, and she bent her elbow and hit the man's chest.
The man was caught off guard and almost fell unconscious. Jiang Shuangshuang quickly turned around and kicked him in the lower back. As the man fell forward, she pressed her knee against his back and held his wrists tightly with both hands, making it impossible for him to escape.
The whole movement is so smooth.
She lowered her head and grinned, her face full of smiles, "Hey, I win both the prize and the loss."
The oil bag stolen by the man fell to the ground. A child helped to pick it up, with admiration in her big eyes. "Sister Shuangshuang, you are amazing!"
Not only him, but the children who come here often have seen it countless times.
They clapped and jumped for joy, more excited than the people who were catching the thief.
How could I not be excited?
If it weren't for Sister Shuangshuang, this place would be quite chaotic.
Not to mention the thieves, there were also some adults who liked to bully children. They relied on their height and strength to snatch the coal slag that they had picked up. It was all because of Sister Shuangshuang that she beat away those who bullied them, and they no longer had to worry about being robbed.
The scene instantly became lively.
The captured Gu Gaofei's face flushed red. He wanted to turn over, but he didn't know how the person on his back could do it. The slightest movement made his muscles and bones hurt as if they were broken.
I could only yell with a red face, "Misunderstanding, mistake, I am not a thief."
"You've been stolen and yet you're still trying to make excuses!" Jiang Xiaozhou also ran over. He took the oil bag from the child's hand and was about to open it, but when he peeled off the first layer, a tall man came over and held his hand.
"Comrade, why don't you hand the thief over to me and I'll take him to the Public Security Bureau for you. The freight train will be here soon, so don't delay your coal collection."
Jiang Shuangshuang looked up.
The tall man was wearing a patched rough coat, but his face was strong and handsome, which made people unable to help but take a second look at him.
But no matter how good it looks, I can’t give up the prize money I’ve earned!
"No need." Jiang Shuangshuang was very skilled at tying people up.
The waist rope was tied around the thief in circles. When they were fighting just now, she could clearly feel that the thief's moves were very methodical and he was very strong. If she had not been afraid of a lesbian, it would have been difficult for her to take him down.
So I tied it a few more times to prevent the other party from breaking away halfway.
"Comrade, you are wrong. I am really not a thief. Don't believe me..." Gu Gaofei wanted to explain, but for some reason he suddenly shut up and could only be tied up tightly with a sullen look on his face.
Jiang Shuangshuang ignored him and walked towards the Public Security Bureau holding the other end of the waist rope.
They walked away, but someone followed them.
Jiang Xiaozhou took two steps and looked back. When he was about to turn the corner of the alley, he asked suspiciously, "Why do you keep following us?"
The person who followed was the tall guy who spoke earlier.
He saw other people passing by in the alley, and raised his eyes slightly, "I just wanted to help."
Jiang Xiaozhou didn't believe it and asked cautiously, "You don't want to share my sister's bonus, do you?"
Every penny earned is a penny less.
Even though the money didn't reach his hands, he still felt bad.
Gu Gaofei, who was tied up, finally understood why the two siblings were determined to send him to the police station. He said helplessly, "Ha!" "So you guys are doing this for the bonus?"
Jiang Shuangshuang glanced at him, and said in a righteous tone, "No, I am a good person doing good things."
