Chapter 85 Chapter 85 It was me who brought the Eighth Route Army here! …
The weather tonight is relatively good, with neither rain nor snow. But after all, it is already this month, and the temperature has dropped so much that even the cracks in the ground can faintly reveal the chill.
As soon as the captain opened the door, a cold wind blew fiercely on his face, freezing him so much that he shivered all over as if he were in a shamanic state.
He opened the door timidly with his hands in his pockets, and glared at the visitor with a righteous look - there was nothing in front of him.
The hazy moonlight sprinkled on the fields where only clusters of short and yellow stems were left after the harvest, and the dark mountains and forests were silent in the winter night.
Captain:? ? ?
Who is it? Knocking on the door in the middle of the night? !
He was about to curse.
Wait, people...
Yes, who would knock on the door at this time?
The captain was startled, and the legends about the Black Mountain witch ghost knocking on the door in the middle of the night unconsciously spread in his mind.
Although the slogans now are to overthrow all monsters and demons, can you really overthrow these things just by saying so?
There is no certainty whether you can beat the enemy!
He swallowed his saliva pretending to be calm, not letting out any of the curses that had been pent up since he came out of the warm bed. Although he seemed calm, his hands were actually shaking as he was about to close the door.
A slender hand with distinct joints that reflected white light in the moonlight rested on the door frame, with pointed fingers, and a drawn-out female voice rang out: "Wait a moment."
"Oh my god!" The captain screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He jumped three feet high and hit the door bolt that he had just taken off the door like a staff.
Song Ruan was tired of waiting, so he squatted at the door weakly and wanted to catch his breath:? ? ? ! ! !
Her eyes suddenly widened, and she was about to fall back to avoid it, but her legs, which were numb from squatting, made their presence felt at this moment.
"Touch!"
“Ah!!”
The neighbors suddenly sat up from their kangs and asked, "What happened? Was the neighbor bitten by a wolf?!"
In the pitch-black village, all the oil lamps in the captain's house were luxuriously lit.
"You old man! You are so frightened at your age. Look at what you have done to Xiao Song!!"
The captain's wife held a candle, rubbed the big bump on Song Ruan's head, and cursed angrily.
Song Ruan sat on the kang, hugged the captain's wife's arm with tears in her eyes, and nodded softly.
The captain was timid.
"Look at her, look at her, such a lovely girl, but now she has such a big bump on her head!"
The captain's wife continued to curse.
Song Ruan shared the same hatred for the enemy and continued to cry.
The captain didn't dare to say a word.
"Go, get some safflower oil." The captain's wife ordered.
The eldest daughter-in-law brought the things over, and the captain's wife took a little of it in her hands, rubbed her hands, and said to her followers: "Xiao Song, you have to bear with it."
Song Ruan habitually replied: "Hmm...Hmm (↗)?!"
The captain's wife suddenly pressed her hand, which was as big as a palm leaf fan, on Song Ruan's head, just like that!
“Ouch!!!”
“Stop stop stop stop, auntie auntie auntie!!”
Song Ruan screamed and tried hard to pull his head out.
The captain's wife's grip was unexpectedly strong, and Song Ruan, who didn't have time to put on the hook, was unable to break free.
"Kid, why are you hiding? The bruises need to be rubbed away before they can heal. Just trust your aunt!"
The captain's wife said with experience that she imitated the way her husband pressed the New Year pig every year during the Spring Festival, and pressed Song Ruan tightly under her arms, while speeding up her hands.
"This is not a question of belief or not...Ah! Ah! Ah! Auntie, be gentle!!!"
Song Ruan screamed in agony.
By the time the captain's wife stopped, Song Ruan had been beaten so hard that his eyes were bulging and his whole body was as stiff as a dead fish. It seemed like he had been gone for quite some time.
She knew that the captain's wife was really doing this for her own good, so she just stared at the captain with a condemning look.
His eyes were miserable and resentful, so sad and miserable that if he was given a handkerchief he could go on stage and play Yang Bailao.
The captain felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he coughed and changed the subject:
"Xiao Song, why did you come to see me?"
It was also a bad thing, and Song Ruan became even more resentful.
She looked at the captain's wife, then at the captain, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Having been the daughter-in-law of the Dongfeng Brigade leader for so many years, the captain's wife is still quite perceptive. Seeing this, he quickly opened his hands and drove back his sons and daughters-in-law who had gathered around him like chickens: "Go back, go back!"
Let’s go back. I’m sleepy anyway.
The little girl Wang Xing'er was the most caring. She rubbed her eyes and walked towards her room without looking back - she had taken such an exam during the day and was so tired!
But everyone in the big family has their own little thoughts.
For example, Bai Fangfang, the wife of the village chief's second son, was lying on the windowsill with a big belly, unwillingly. After a long time, she couldn't figure out what was going on. She came back and muttered to her husband:
"Tell me, why did Song Ruan come to see our parents so late at night? Did she not do well in the exam during the day and wanted to ask our father for help?"
"Come on, the principal said that the students will be ranked according to their grades," Wang Laoer was really sleepy and impatiently wrapped himself in the quilt. "What's the point of asking my dad? With his education level of not even graduating from elementary school, how can he help her mark the papers?"
"If I didn't speak well, the first 90 points would be changed, and the more than 60 points would be changed." He said disdainfully.
Fortunately, the captain is not here now, otherwise he would have kicked this unfilial son to death.
"That's true..." Bai Fangfang thought it made sense, but the pain of not finding out the cause and effect was scratching her heart like a cat. She continued to speculate, "Then why did she come here, and why is she so mysterious? Is she trying to give gifts to my parents to curry favor with us?"
Wang Laoer was really sleepy, but his wife kept mumbling in his ear, so he could only force his eyes to open and reply, "Why does she try to please our family? She doesn't need anyone's support now."
Who would dare to provoke a man who raises tigers, kills wild boars himself and has a sharp tongue, even if he is a female educated youth from outside the city?
Not to mention anything else, there are also old bachelors in their team who like to flirt with young wives and girls, but look, is there anyone who dares to flirt with Song Ruan?
They are little hooligans, not brainless idiots.
Bai Fangfang was blocked and felt a little dissatisfied, so she continued to speculate: "Maybe... maybe Song Ruan has a bad relationship with her family, and she was hurt today, so she went to our parents for comfort? After all, our parents have always taken good care of her."
"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Wang Laoer's eyelids were already glued shut, and he responded vaguely.
Bai Fangfang took this as a positive sign and said, "Then what do you think? Will our parents accept Song Ruan as their goddaughter?"
Wang Lao Er didn't understand how it came to this: "I don't see you liking my little sister that much. She is still my parents' daughter."
"How are they the same?" Bai Fangfang hit Wang Laoer.
These men just don't want to do anything!
"What's the difference?" Wang Lao Er was really annoyed and didn't want to argue with this woman anymore. He pulled the quilt over his head and pretended to go to sleep. "Sleep! Just be quiet!"
Seeing that he was really annoyed, Bai Fangfang did not dare to pull his quilt against the wind, but she did not lie down either. Instead, she half-sat on the kang in the dark.
Of course she doesn't like Wang Xing'er.
Wang Xing'er is the daughter of the team leader and his wife, so it is natural that her food, clothing, housing and transportation should be taken care of by her parents. For a girl, it would be enough to just give her food to eat and keep her from starving to death. But the captain's family was different. Not only did they feed her like a little girl, they also sent her to school!
But this girl is really smart and she managed to study all the way to junior high school! Originally, a girl of seven or eight years old could go to the fields to earn work points to subsidize the family, but Wang Xing'er stayed in school all day long, and could only earn a sweet potato!
Not only that, there are also textbook fees, tuition fees, and food expenses... I've never seen a girl who wastes money so much in the surrounding area! Her husband hasn’t even finished junior high school!
As for the fact that Wang Laoer had also finished primary school and had to continue studying because he failed to get into junior high school, she completely ignored it at the moment.
Even if someone really pointed this out to her, she would have her own reasons - can a girl be compared with a boy? A girl will be married off and will be like spilled water. Although their family is not a big one and does not have to bear the responsibility of supporting her in her old age, they will still take a look at her.
Anyway, she suffered a great loss!
We haven't divided the family property yet - all this money was spent on her!
If she hadn't been smart and secretly made some moves before Wang Xing'er's high school entrance exam, she might have been asked to go to high school - how much more money would that cost!
I originally thought that since you don’t study anymore and come back, you should at least lend a hand, right? As a result, she has become spoiled by reading. She is lazy and ungrateful every day. She even refuses to help with washing clothes. Ask yourself, which sister-in-law would like such a sister-in-law?
The team leader is also partial. In order to avoid gossip, he gave her the job of "warehouse manager". She is idle all day long. Why doesn't he let her do such a good job?
She can't read, but her sister knows her!
Bai Fangfang is really annoyed by this awful sister-in-law.
But if I adopt Song Ruan as my goddaughter, it will be different!
First of all, Song Ruan is already so old, firstly, there is no need to spend energy to take care of her, and secondly, she has finished high school and does not need any money; most importantly, she is rich!
Not to mention that she can hunt and has no shortage of meat, the most important thing is that she heard the quarrel between Song Ruan and her parents today. Song Ruan's parents let her go to the countryside without any preparation. It was Song Ruan who sold her job so that she would not be penniless - listen, she sold her job!
Nowadays, work is like the throne, which can be passed down from generation to generation and ensure that each generation will have no worries about food and clothing - otherwise, why would there be a nickname like "working aristocracy" nowadays?
I heard that an ordinary temporary worker in the commune costs one or two hundred yuan - and that's just the possibility of being converted to a regular employee. There is a shortage of supply. How much can a regular employee like Song Ruan in the city get in exchange?
Just double it, four hundred!
Wow, four hundred! ! !
She had never seen so much money in her life!
It was like a ripe, juicy golden peach that jumped into their home on its own - who wouldn't welcome that?
Bai Fangfang became more and more excited the more she thought about it. Her eyes almost turned red. She pulled back Wang Laoer's quilt and started to talk to him. "You know, if Song Ruan really takes her parents as her godparents, then we'll be her godbrother and godwife. She'll give us a gift. As a rich person in the city, she should at least give us 20 yuan, right?"
Wang Lao Er was about to meet Zhou Gong, but she suddenly elbowed him back. He was no longer in a good mood and sat up suddenly on the bed, staring at her:
"Why didn't I realize you have such a big appetite before? At least twenty dollars. Can we dig out twenty dollars from the ground after eating and drinking for a whole year?"
"I have to give you twenty dollars to become your godparent. What's the matter? Are you the King of Hell? Just because I'm related to you, I can live forever."
Then he suddenly pulled the quilt over his head again: "I see you are just bored, are you going to sleep or not? If not, go and rub the hemp rope!"
Bai Fangfang was startled by him. Before she could say anything, she heard snoring from under the quilt - Wang Laoer had fallen asleep.
She was so angry that she fell backwards, but she didn't dare to say anything more. She slapped the quilt a few times in anger, muttering and cursing, "Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep all day, you are a pig! Is this my business alone? Can't you get any benefits? "
But she really didn't dare to make a fuss anymore. She touched her big belly and lay down angrily.
Forget it, just go to sleep.
The place finally fell into calm, and the show had just begun in the captain and his wife's room.
Song Ruan twisted her legs like a mermaid and knelt diagonally on them. She lowered her head and twirled her fingers around her hair, looking troubled and melancholy.
Combined with the big bump on her head, she looked innocent and pitiful.
"Aunt, I really don't know what to do, so I came to you..."
The captain's wife was obsessed with looks, and she immediately felt sorry for him: "It's okay, kid, if you have any problems, just tell me, I will definitely help you if I can!"
Song Ruan's innocent little face was filled with emotion, and she sniffed: "Thank you, thank you, Auntie. I feel much more at ease with your words."
"It's like this. You know, my parents treated me like that before they went to the countryside. After I went to the countryside, they didn't care about me. As soon as they came, they asked me for money. I got angry and didn't let them in. So they lived in Aunt Meihua's house."
This was known to everyone, and the two nodded, motioning for her to continue.
"But I calmed down and thought, after all, they are my parents, and they will be gone tomorrow, so I thought of sending them a meal today."
Song Ruan said this in a very saintly manner.
The captain took out his pipe and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course, you are a good kid."
"The door of Aunt Meihua's house was not closed, so I just walked in -"
Bullshit, it was locked tightly. She climbed over the wall and opened it.
"Then I heard that my parents seemed to have found some gold in the former Party Secretary's house!"
"What!"
The captain and his wife exclaimed in unison.
The captain's pipe suddenly fell onto the table, and his voice changed: "Gold?! Zhao Sanzhu actually has gold at home?! Where did he get the gold?"
Everyone in the brigade knows each other. Zhao Sanzhu’s ancestors were never rich! Three generations ago, everyone was begging!
As they are both leaders of the Dongfeng Brigade, his family has to plan carefully before buying a pen!
The captain was in a very bad state.
Song Ruan also had a shocked expression, as if she had never seen the world before, and repeated in a parrot-like manner: "Yes, yes, where did the gold come from?"
Where else could that come from!
The captain's eyes bulged out.
He thought that Zhao Sanzhu would at most take advantage of him a little, but he didn't expect that! He didn't expect that!
He even found the gold, how could he be so capable? !
Song Ruan still felt it was not enough, and added softly: "I vaguely heard that there were also silver bracelets, gold pieces, Yuan Datou and so on..."
The captain's eyes bulged more and more as he listened, and he looked like a bloated bullfrog.
Damn it, he is so good at squeezing money, could Zhao Sanzhu be the reincarnation of a eunuch?
The captain's wife had already started to curse: "Zhao Sanzhu, you old bastard!"
The captain managed to calm down and stared at Song Ruan: "Then come find me..."
Song Ruan lowered her head in confusion and innocence. "I, I don't know either. But from what my parents said, they plan to secretly take the gold and leave early tomorrow morning... I don't have a good relationship with them, they will definitely not listen to me. If I make a fuss, I'm afraid that everyone will misunderstand... But I'm also worried that this is the hard-earned money of the villagers, and I can't bear to pretend that I didn't hear it..."
She was incoherent and looked like a bewildered little white flower.
The captain's wife quickly hugged her in her arms: "Auntie knows, Auntie knows, your parents are your parents, it's none of your business, you are a good person, Auntie knows you are doing this for the good of our team."
But this was the first time she had encountered this, so she kicked the captain hard: "Old man, think of a solution!"
The captain was also in a state of confusion, and he didn't even bother to pick up his precious pipe when it fell on the table:
"The matter of Xiao Song's parents is easy to handle. Just take the things back and send them back tomorrow. Anyway, the things are not really lost, and it doesn't matter if they are gone. There is no need to hold on to it and make Xiao Song suffer. The key is what to do with Zhao Sanzhu's things."
This matter was revealed by Song Ruan, and there was no need to hide it from her; the Dongfeng Brigade did not have a women's director, and his wife was considered half a member of the team, so she could listen.
The captain picked up his pipe and said directly with a frown:
"Xiao Song's parents only stayed at Li Meihua's house for one night, and they were able to find so many things. You can imagine how much Zhao Sanzhu has embezzled over the years! If this is not handled properly, our entire group will be implicated."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse Zhao Sanzhu again. What an inhuman thing! People were already in prison, but he still buried such a big string of landmines.
"Who knows, Zhao Sanzhu might not be able to bear it on the farm and tell these things to atone for his crime. If someone is sent down from above, we will be in a passive position."
"No, we have to find these things and hand them over to the leaders while the higher-ups don't know about it yet. If we hand them over voluntarily, it can be considered as a way to atone for our sins."
"But this matter cannot be made public. After all, it is not a glorious thing. If it gets out, it will be bad for all of us."
He looked gloomy.
Song Ruan raised her hand and said, "But uncle, if we go there secretly, what if the leader suspects that we took the opportunity to hide it?"
The captain's wife nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, old man, what Xiao Song said makes sense."
The captain pondered for a while and said, "Well, call the other village cadres and tell them that we are going to hold a meeting. Then we will go to Zhao Sanzhu's house together to search it!"
It would be a lie to say that the captain was not tempted at all, but he still had his reason - even Song Guogang and his family of three who only stayed for one night could find the gold, which shows that it is not a small amount of money. Not to mention the risks of embezzlement, the key is that his conscience cannot go against it!
This is all the blood and sweat of our fellow villagers!
Life is so hard for everyone now. Only when we slaughter the New Year pig can we get a little bit of meat, which we have to marinate again and again with salt. Only during the New Year and other festivals can we afford to cut a few slices for the elderly and children to satisfy their cravings.
There are even families with five or six children but only two sets of thick cotton-padded clothes. In winter, they can only lie naked on the kang and take turns to go out.
The captain couldn't get over the hurdle of his conscience.
Insult Zhao Sanzhu again X2.
After having a general discussion, the three of them got down from the kang with tense expressions, and without even lighting the lantern, they quietly walked out in the moonlight.
Fortunately, the weather was good tonight, and the moon was round and big, so even the grass leaves on the ground could be illuminated clearly, so there wouldn't be a big fall if I walked.
Several other village cadres, such as accountants, scorekeepers, and team leaders, were called out for a meeting in the middle of the night and were still confused. After all, overtime is not popular these days. When they got dressed and walked out, they were still full of anger:
"Old Wang, how can you have a meeting so late? Aren't you..." You're just making things difficult for me! ”
Before he could finish his words, he was pulled aside by the captain's wife, who started mumbling about this matter. Then everyone fell silent.
After all, he is a village cadre and he has the necessary vision - he knows the seriousness of the matter if it is not handled properly, so he dares not joke around anymore. His face is stern and he can't even smile.
A grasshopper on a rope, seeing a frying pan waiting in front of it, why would it jump?
The team gradually expanded, and a group of people rushed towards Zhao Sanzhu's house with great momentum.
Although there were many people and their momentum was strong, they tacitly maintained silence and galloped silently under the moonlight. At first glance, they looked like the style of the Xiangxi corpse-driving team.
Upon closer inspection, the door was indeed not closed!
The group rushed in immediately and went straight to the main room where the lights were still on.
The Song family's three members were just turning the things over and over again, rubbing them with great pride and reluctance, when suddenly the door was kicked open.
Their third daughter rushed in first, pointing her finger at them: "Uncle, look, look! The things haven't been collected yet! They are all on the table."
The three members of the Song family sitting on the kang had their pupils dizzy. They looked at the arrogant Song Ruan, and then at the group of village cadres with bad faces behind them. The gold and silver on the table that had not been hidden in time were still emitting a halo - they couldn't deny it even if they wanted to.
Suddenly, the whole place turned dark - no matter how careful you are, you can't guard against a thief in your own home!
And another sentence - was it you who led the devils here?
Military dog Song Ruan stood there with a proud look on his face as if he had done something great.
That’s right, it’s me!
Song Guogang pretended to be calm and tried to sweep the things on the table into his arms: "What are you doing!"
The captain took two steps forward and grabbed his arm: "We have learned that this is Zhao Sanzhu's stolen money and we need to confiscate it."
Zhang Meijuan stammered, "It's unfair, it's unfair, this is from our family, look at the silver bracelet..."
She tried to put the silver bracelet on her wrist, in a feeble attempt to prove herself.
Song Ruan quickly took the thing off and handed it to the captain: "I report it! I don't have this thing at home!"
"My family has been poor peasants for eight generations. My father was lucky enough to be a worker in the city. Now he is just a front-line worker with no chance of promotion. Forget gold. We couldn't even afford a bite of dumplings before!"
"And I heard them say from their own mouths under the window that they found it in the house. In any case, it is definitely not our own thing."
"Dad, Mom, just admit it. We can't accept this kind of thing! This is the blood and sweat of the people who were plundered!"
Song Guogang was so angry that his eyes went dark: "It's unfortunate for our family, it's unfortunate for our family to have given birth to such a rebellious girl!"
Song Ruan proudly swore loudly: "Serve the people!"
“Boom!!!”
Song Guogang's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Zhang Meijuan rushed over in panic: "Jiabao's father, Jiabao's father!"
The team leader and his men stepped forward to count the stolen goods and gave them a verbal education on their behavior.
Song Ruan looked at the mess she had made with smugness - a real woman would look back at the fireworks she had created!
Suddenly, I felt like I had overlooked something, and slapped my head: "Hey, why is Song Jiabao so quiet?"
The system also felt it was strange. It started scanning, covered Song Jiabao with its head, and then fell silent.
Well, how do I put this?
It was expected that the three members of the Song family would do some tricks, but the tricks they did were really eye-opening.
It claims to be a well-informed leader, but this, this...
Song Ruan didn't hear the answer from the system for a long time, and asked curiously: "System? System? System? Did they hide anything?"
The anti-jing system came back to its senses with a start, hesitating:
[Hide, hide.] 】
Song Ruan replied casually: "I said they were dishonest. Where are they hiding? I will report them!"
It paused, still finding it hard to speak, and after pondering for a long time, it said in a tone so complex that it even had an electric tremor:
[That’s right, your brother, he clamped a piece of brass the size of a thumb, clamped it…]
It falters, hesitates, stammers, and stumbles:
[It's sandwiched between the buttocks, right in the gap between the two fleshy petals. 】
ah? ? ?
Song Ruan's gaze, which had been casually wandering over Song Jiabao, suddenly stopped.
Her pupils suddenly dilated and she was completely stunned.
She screamed in shock in her heart: "Where??? Where did you say???"
The system was not so embarrassed when it found that Song Ruan was more shocked than it.
It said nonchalantly, as if it was used to big storms and waves, and this was nothing new. It was Song Ruan who was too ignorant.
[That’s right, look at Song Jiabao standing there motionless, as if he is petrified, but in fact, all his strength is concentrated on his buttocks, he is tense]
[Have you ever learned dancing? Dance teachers usually ask students to tighten their buttocks when standing, so that a small dimple appears on the left and right sides of the buttocks. Hmm, that is Song Jiabao's current structure.]
[I didn't realize he had such a talent for dancing. 】
It commented with interest.
It commented happily without noticing that Song Ruan was about to break apart.
Woo, she was really about to break.
She is just an ordinary little girl, why does she have to face such difficulties?
No, why, this, ah! !
How could she tell the captain about this? Captain, I'm reporting this to you. My brother secretly put a piece of gold in his butt!
What if the captain asked her how she knew that?
What if the captain thought she knew because she had hidden it in the same way before?
Even if the captain doesn't ask any questions and just searches...what kind of search is this...open, open it?
Woohoo, she felt her mouth was dirty even when she said it!
Otherwise, she would go up and kick Song Jiabao in the butt. What if he couldn't hold on and fell down?
The system hesitated for a moment and slowly raised an objection.
[He is just stuck in the gap now, what if you kick him in? 】
Song Ruan: Woo woo
She was really, really about to break.
She is just an ordinary little girl, why does she have to face such a difficult choice?
The system had seen enough of the fun, and finally showed mercy and helped its host.
[I used data to simulate it. Like this, you take two steps forward and move a little to the left. Yes, kick him in the stomach. Okay, right here! 】
Song Ruan raised his foot and kicked, cursing righteously as he kicked - as for how much personal emotion was mixed in, let's not talk about it for now:
"Song Jiabao, you are the only boy in our Song family. Your parents are confused, and you don't have to persuade them, but you are just as confused as them!"
Song Jiabao was caught off guard and was kicked by Song Ruan into a “>” shape. He staggered and the brass block he was holding fell down his trouser leg with a snap.
Because he was about to go to bed, Song Jiabao wore a pair of thin autumn trousers... the kind that didn't have any pockets and were very, very close-fitting.
Therefore, everyone can obviously guess where the "gold nugget" was originally hidden by following the raised trajectory of the falling "gold nugget".
Everyone around was silent. The only sound was the "gold nugget" that fell and bounced twice on the ground.
After a long time, the captain's wife came back to her senses first, her eyes wide open like bells: "Oh my god, oh my god, if I'm not mistaken..."
Song Jiabao's face turned pale and blue. He had already lost face, so he gritted his teeth and shamelessly pounced on the "gold nugget" on the ground: "This is mine! Mine!"
After a few loud roars, he seemed to gain more confidence. He became more and more powerful, panting heavily with his eyes bulging, like an angry bull.
Song Ruan kicked the angry bull again, turning it into a panicked flying chicken.
The captain's wife frowned and stared at the "gold nugget" again and again, but still couldn't bear to pick it up.
Although this is gold, but, but...
"I'll find something to wrap it up," she said.
No one objected.
Li Meihua had heard the noise from next door a long time ago and knew something was wrong, but she had nowhere to hide her things for the time being, so she finally opened the door, carrying most of the things she had with her.
He looked confused, as if he had just woken up from a drunken stupor: "Captain? What are you doing?"
The captain's wife seemed to have been reminded and slapped her head: "Should we search Li Meihua's body as well? If it's inconvenient for you, I'll go!"
The expression on Li Meihua's face changed, with a hint of anger and a little offended, and her voice became louder: "Captain, what are you doing!"
Accountant Li, who was woken up in the middle of the night and learned that his position as an accountant might be in jeopardy, was a little angry with her. He pointed at the pile of gold and silver that had just been confiscated and said, "Don't you know what we are going to do?"
Li Meihua's heart sank, but she still managed to say, "What is this? I've never seen it before!"
The captain was too lazy to argue with her: "This is the stolen money that Zhao Sanzhu embezzled. It's best if you haven't seen it."
The accountant said impatiently, "Since it has nothing to do with you, don't get in the way of our work. We are all from the same village and we are giving you face. If you don't cooperate with us now and return empty-handed, the next people to be sent will be the Little Red Guards, and they are not as easy to deal with as us."
You know everything you have seen. After being a couple for so many years, don’t you have any idea of what they are like? You’re kidding!
He secretly saved some pocket money to buy some good tobacco and smoked it outside. His wife knew about it and then started to smoke him!
The accountant wiped away tears of sadness.
Li Meihua's hands slowly dropped down.
The captain's wife found three small yellow croakers on her body, and other people found the remaining two that had been hastily stuffed into the kang hole in her room, as well as some other valuables.
The accountant was counting things with a half-smile on his face.
Li Meihua knelt down in front of them and said, "Zhao Sanzhu got all this secretly. I didn't know about it before. He was recently sent to the farm. I wanted to send him some clothes and found it when I was packing. I was bewildered and hid it secretly. Please, give me another chance!"
Everyone looked at each other.
Li Meihua burst into tears: "When Zhao Sanzhu was here, I didn't even dare to pick up a piece of meat with my chopsticks, so how could I dare to take care of his business? Now he has joined the farm. As a woman at such an old age, without a son, I am really worried about my future life. I was confused for a moment... I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Li Meihua's life was indeed just as she said. Her husband was away and her daughter was married again. Her life was indeed visibly difficult.
Originally, she would be affected as a couple if the man went in, and if she was involved in this matter, she would probably be skinned alive.
After all, they are all fellow villagers, and we can't just watch people being forced to death. In the end, everyone still felt a little sympathy.
The captain sighed deeply: "Okay, I'll let you go this time, but you have to atone for your crime - do you know that Zhao Sanzhu has other stolen money?"
"Thank you, captain, and thank you everyone." Li Meihua kowtowed in gratitude, and the captain's wife pulled her up.
"I'm asking you a question, is there anything else?"
Li Meihua quickly replied: "I have searched the whole house and found nothing else, just this much -"
The team leader took his men to search the house again, and even dug up the vegetable garden. They indeed found nothing else, so they counted and registered the items with everyone witnessing each other. Then he took the property, the accountant took the account book, and the others signed the witness form. They worked until late at night before they called it a day.
Although they were exhausted after a night of hard work, the team leader harnessed the ox cart early the next morning and took the four members of the Song family - Song Ruan also went to see them off - to the commune with a group of village cadres.
After watching Old Song's family get on the train like wilted chickens, and seeing the train rumble away with long puffs of steam, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Ruan went back to the village first, and the team leader took the "stolen money" and other village cadres of the Dongfeng Brigade and walked towards the commune with heavy steps.
Well, I turned myself in and got criticized - you can tell with your toes that this is not a good thing.
"Leader, it's like this. We discovered that Zhao Sanzhu, who has already been imprisoned, has another case of corruption. Yes, it's corruption, and the amount is not small..."
Others only report good news to their leaders, but they only report bad news, bad news, and more bad news to their leaders - it makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it!
The leaders won’t have any objections to them, right?
Forget it, there’s no need to deceive yourself, the leaders will definitely have something against them!
Woo woo woo, why is life so hard!
People do not share the same joys and sorrows. The captain and his team here were in a heavy mood as if they were visiting a grave, but the Dongfeng Brigade was very lively.
The principal is back with the results of yesterday's exam! A big red notice was posted at the entrance of the brigade office, and all the villagers came to watch the fun.
As soon as Song Ruan returned to the village, Han Zhenzhen, who had rushed over, hugged her arm and said, "I can't find you anywhere! Where have you been?"
"I'm going to see my parents off. After all, they are my parents, so I have to see them off before they leave."
Song Ruan flatters herself without any shame.
Han Zhenzhen angrily threw her arm away: "Well! You are the most generous. They treated you so well, but you still gave it to them! You are usually so strong, why are you so soft now?"
Song Ruan was as innocent as a white lotus: "After all, they are my parents..."
"What is this doing?"
Seeing Han Zhenzhen staring at her and about to say something, she calmly changed the subject.
Han Zhenzhen was like a single-core processor. Song Ruan easily redirected her to a new topic. Her frustration was forgotten and she became excited again: "The results are out. They are posted on the wall at the entrance of the brigade. Everyone is watching!"
She chirped like a lively little bird: "I saw it for you. Wow, you are really amazing! First place! Full marks!"
"You can definitely become a teacher!"
She was so excited as if she had got first place in the exam, and she dragged her to the red paper.
Her voice was so sharp and high that even the principal standing in front of the red paper could hear it.
The principal looked at the bustling crowd with a kind face:
"It is indeed as this comrade said. This time we admitted people based on their grades, that is, the top three educated youth and villagers respectively. But we still have to go through some formalities before the village cadres can announce the list of admitted people - where is your team leader? We still have some things to discuss."
Everyone looked around, and rarely saw the captain:
"Hey, where's the captain?"
"Not only that, the accountant and the others aren't here either!"
"What do you want from me?"
Speak of the devil, and here he appears. As he was talking, he saw the team leader coming back driving a ox cart, covered in dust and dirt. In addition to the village cadres, there were a few strangers following behind him. They were dressed in tattered clothes and looked very embarrassed.
"Who are these people?" Everyone was discussing.
When Song Ruan saw the last ragged person, she felt that he looked familiar for some reason - not only that, this body even became excited involuntarily, and her heart was beating wildly.
Song Ruan:? ?
She raised her hand and hammered her chest: "What's going on? Are you guys going to revolt, heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and lungs?"
