It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that Chen Jun returned to the steel rolling mill by car. He loaded the New Year's goods sent by Mr. Liu on the back seat of his bicycle and went home humming a little tune.
Today was a very fruitful day. Not only did I get a bicycle ticket from Director Yang, but I also got a red envelope and a lot of New Year's goods from Mr. Liu.
If it were an ordinary family, these New Year's goods alone would be enough to have a good New Year.
As soon as he entered the yard, Chen Jun saw the salted fish hanging on the ropes. There were two rows of them, and he estimated that there were more than twenty of them.
"Hey, Third Uncle, are you showing off or are you just hanging fish out to dry? Aren't you afraid of getting bit by rats?"
Although it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, Yan Bugui was still sitting at the doorstep looking at the salted fish on the rope.
"Well, I've been waiting for you to come back." Yan Bugui rubbed his face and continued, "Old Liu and I caught several nets of fish today. Your share has already been delivered."
"Hey, didn't we agree the day before yesterday that if you catch any fish, you two can just keep them and don't send them to me." Chen Jun felt helpless.
Recently, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui have turned into fishing maniacs, catching several hundred kilograms of fish. Chen Jun cleaned up and gave away all the fish, so there are still quite a few left at home.
As a result, Yan Bugui and his friends went fishing again today, and caught at least twenty or thirty fish.
Yan Bugui grinned and did not respond to Chen Jun's words. Instead, he stood up and began to collect the salted fish on the rope. With his temper, if he left the fish in the yard, he would not be able to sleep that night.
Seeing this, Chen Jun pushed his bicycle back to the backyard.
Being so busy at this point, Chen Jun packed up his things, washed up briefly, locked the door, and went back to bed to play with his phone.
Because it was a holiday, Chen Jun didn't go to bed early and played with his mobile phone until after one o'clock.
"Ah~ It's easy to stay up late with a cell phone."
Chen Jun yawned and was about to go to sleep when he suddenly heard a cry from the yard.
"ah!!!!
"Ghost! It's haunted!!"
Then, there were the cries of children and the curses of men.
Um?
Is it haunted?
Hearing the noise, Chen Jun sat up from the bed and listened carefully. It seemed to come from the middle courtyard.
And the cry of "It's haunted" seemed to have been uttered by Qin Huairu.
Is the Jia family haunted? ?
What’s going on? Could it be that someone called Lao Jia up here?
wrong!
There is no way that Lao Jia would come back. Could he have encountered a thief?
As the New Year approaches, there are more cases of petty theft. Not to mention the distant ones, a while ago, when Sha Zhu went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something, more than three yuan of his money was stolen. This made Sha Zhu very angry, and he shouted that he would report to the police.
But there was little surveillance these days, so it was very difficult to catch the thief. The police registered Sha Zhu and let him go back.
He dares to steal things in broad daylight, let alone at night.
Thinking of this, Chen Jun put on his clothes, turned his wrist and a brand new rolling pin appeared in his palm, then he strode out.
Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao and others also went out together. They looked at each other and walked towards the central courtyard tacitly.
But no one expected that as soon as they approached the Jia family, they heard Qin Huairu's terrified voice.
"Mom, Mom, put the knife down first, let's talk it over."
Then Jia Dongxu's voice was heard again.
"Mom, why are you back so late at night? Why are you bald? Why are your eyes swollen? And... why do you smell so bad?"
Um???
After hearing this, Chen Jun and the others were stunned.
Qin Huairu called that person mom?
Jia Zhang is back? ?
Wasn't she undergoing labor reform? Why did she suddenly return to the hospital?
Judging from the time, it will take at least half a month for Jia Zhang to come out.
Could it be!
Suddenly, Chen Jun suddenly remembered what Yan Bugui said.
Jia Zhang couldn't stand the days of forced labor and escaped?
Liu Haizhong, who was standing by, also thought of this possibility. He tiptoed to the door and stuck his butt out to listen to the noise inside.
"I'm suffering in there, being bullied, and you're actually eating dumplings, stir-fried pork, and even meatballs at home?!" Jia Zhang shouted excitedly, "You guys are feasting at home, and you've never thought of sending me anything?"
"Also, what is this and how much did it cost?"
"Mom, don't get excited. This... this is a wheelchair. Dongxu kept clamoring for it." Qin Huairu explained, "With this, Dongxu can go out for some fresh air on his own, and he can also help look after Banggeng. As for the meat, it's the New Year's goods the factory distributed today."
"I was just about to make some braised pork for you tomorrow. Why did you come back so suddenly?"
"Shut up!" Jia Zhang didn't seem to believe Qin Huairu's explanation. "You're talking nonsense. Qin Huairu, do you think I'm a three-year-old? When did the steel mill's New Year's goods have so much meat?"
"Tell me, was the money for the wheelchair and the meat stolen from under my bed?"
Although Jia Zhang's appearance could not be seen at this time, it was not difficult to hear from her voice that she was extremely angry and had even reached the point of resorting to knife-wielding.
Come to think of it, I learned from Yan Bugui that Jia Zhang had a miserable life during the labor reform period. She was beaten three times a day by the person she had reported.
Judging from what Jia Dongxu said, Jia Zhang's head is bald. Could it be that someone pulled it out forcibly?
Hiss...If that's the case, it's a bit tragic to think about.
"This... is Jia Zhang escaping from prison?"
Xu Damao beside him clenched his fists excitedly and asked in a voice as low as possible.
Originally, she would have been released in more than half a month, but Jia Zhang chose to escape from prison. This was not just a trivial matter, she would be severely punished.
At the very least, we will have to be closed for another half a year.
"Mom, we're all family. It's so ugly to talk about stealing or not." Jia Dongxu swallowed his saliva and said, "I took it. I used the family's money to live."
“This special code is stealing!!!”
Jia Zhang was so angry that she yelled at Jia Dongxu, "You have money for food and a wheelchair, but no money to save me, right? Tell me! How much money is left in the house?"
She remembered clearly that there were still 207.65 yuan in her home before she was arrested!
This money should be enough to buy a letter of apology, but neither Jia Dongxu nor Qin Huairu did so. They obviously felt that it would be better to spend the money on themselves instead of buying a letter of apology.
Wheelchair, meat is the best proof.
Although the Jia family had lived on coarse food before, they could only buy a small piece of meat a month. They were reluctant to buy so much at once, and they even made the meat into meatballs.
This couple really knows how to eat!
The more Jia Zhang thought about it, the angrier she became. She swung the kitchen knife and slammed it down on the table. "Tell me! How much money is left at home?!"
This knife slash scared Jia Dongxu to death. His legs were already crippled. If he got stabbed in the arm and hand like this, he would not be able to live anymore.
"Mom, there are still...more than ten yuan left."
