Fortunately, when Chen Jun rushed to Chen Xueru's house, he saw Chen Xueru's women's bicycle through the gate.
"Chen Jun, why are you here?"
Chen Xueru felt dizzy about Chen Jun's visit.
"Look at our parents." Chen Jun parked his bicycle with a smile.
Chen's father and mother didn't ask too many questions and warmly welcomed Chen Jun in.
While helping to carry the gifts, Father Chen couldn't help but gasp.
These gifts don’t look that exquisite, but any one of them is a good thing.
Just like Moutai, milk powder, and watermelon, they are not ordinary things, and the bacon and braised meat smell very fragrant.
Mr. Chen didn't recognize the tiger bone wine, but judging from the packaging, it should be no worse than Moutai.
After making a rough estimate in his mind, Father Chen felt that these things added up to about a hundred yuan.
Of course, Mr. Chen didn’t see the most expensive ginseng, as it was put into a wooden box by Chen Jun.
"Xiaojun, these things you brought are too valuable. Don't bring so many next time!
Chen's mother also noticed her husband's abnormality. She glanced at the gifts and pretended to be displeased.
It is said that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him. Chen's mother is like this. She thinks Chen Jun is tall and handsome, and his work and character are impeccable. So not only does she not want Chen Jun to spend money, but she wants to give him a big red envelope.
"I took all of it from home. I didn't spend much money." Chen Jun explained with a smile.
Chen Xueru ignored the other things and picked out the braised meat alone, tore off a piece with her hands and put it into her mouth.
"Mm, it's delicious, Dad, Mom, come and try it too."
Father Chen glared at Chen Xueru unhappily, then asked Chen Jun to sit down and personally brewed a pot of good tea.
Mother Chen chatted for a few minutes and then happily went to the kitchen to cook.
Although Chen Jun did not inform them in advance, the Chen family had no shortage of good wine and food.
Chen's father was worried that Chen Jun would feel restrained, so he simply brought a chess game and chatted with him while they played chess. The content of the chat was nothing more than whether the work was hard and whether there were any difficulties.
Chen's father did not mention anything related to marriage, as it was inappropriate to talk about it.
As a result, the two of them became happier and happier as they talked. During lunch, Chen's father took out two bottles of old wine that he had collected for many years and got himself drunk.
Chen Jun's condition was slightly better. Although he drank seven or eight taels of white wine, he was only a little drunk and walked steadily.
"Xiao...Xiaojun, come back in a few days, and we'll continue drinking..." With the support of Chen's mother, Chen's father was helped into the house to rest.
At the same time, Yan Bugui, who had just finished his nap, came to the yard and stretched.
The sun is shining brightly today. After drying the fish in the sun for an afternoon, the salted fish can be collected completely.
By the way, there is also the bacon that Chen Jun helped make. You can cut some and try it tonight. My son and daughter-in-law have been craving it for a long time.
Thinking of this, Yan Bugui glanced at the hanging rope with some pride. These fish and bacon were their family's New Year's goods. Everyone in the yard knew that their family would have a prosperous year this year.
"Well, the salted fish are still there, there's no trouble with the teacher in the courtyard, and the bacon is also... Damn, where's my bacon?"
Yan Bugui was stunned and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
When I opened my eyes again, I still couldn't see the bacon.
"Mother...mother, please come out quickly."
"Yan Jiecheng, come out here too!"
Yan Bugui seriously suspected that Yan Jiecheng had secretly hidden the bacon while he was taking a nap.
It’s not that Yan Jiecheng is too greedy, but that his daughter-in-law Yu Li is a little greedy, and Yan Jiecheng is a man who listens to his wife.
"What's the matter, boss?" The third aunt rushed over when she heard the noise.
"Dad, what happened? Our salted fish was stolen?" Yan Jiecheng was just being intimate with Yu Li in the house and was a step behind the third aunt.
"The bacon is gone! The bacon I hung on the drying line is gone!!"
Yan Bugui's hands were shaking. He had been staring at it for so long, and in the time it took him to doze off, the bacon was gone?
Not only was the bacon gone, but Yan Bugui had just counted the salted fish twice and found that two were missing.
Good job!
Big thief!
He stole so many things from their house in one go.
Upon hearing this, the third aunt and Yan Jiecheng hurriedly looked at the rope and found that the bacon was indeed gone. After counting carefully, they found that two salted fish were indeed missing.
It must be said that the Third Uncle's family is indeed meticulous. Not only does Yan Bugui know how many salted fish there are in the house, but Third Aunt and Yan Jiecheng also know it clearly.
Yan Jiecheng was furious: "Who gave birth to a son without an anus? And he specifically picked the good things to steal. Can't he live anymore?"
He and Yu Li had been craving for bacon for many days. They had asked Yan Bugui to cut some for them to try, but Yan Bugui said that it would become more fragrant as it aged and that they should save it for the New Year.
Now, they've all been stolen.
You have to know that the bacon that Chen Jun helped to make was quite a lot. It used a full six pounds of pork, and even if it became bacon, it would be more than four pounds. Converted into money, that would be several dollars.
No, the bacon made by Chen Jun cannot be bought for just a few dollars. It is worth at least ten dollars!
And the salted fish, each one was worth at least one dollar, so rounding it up, more than ten dollars were stolen from the Yan family.
"Old Yan, I think the rope was broken by someone. Rats don't have the brains to do that. It must have been done by a human!" Aunt Three also said angrily.
Yan Bugui certainly knew that these things were stolen, and it was most likely stolen by someone in the courtyard.
"Oh, I shouldn't have taken a nap!"
Yan Bugui slapped his thigh in frustration a few times, then ordered Yan Jiecheng, "Go to the backyard and find your uncle. You must find the thief."
Soon, Liu Haizhong, who received the news, responded quickly and convened an emergency meeting of the entire institute.
Liu Haizhong was worried that Yan Bugui would go to the police in anger. If the street office knew about this during the New Year, it would have a bad impact on him and the courtyard house, so he wanted to solve it himself.
If you really can't catch the thief, it's not too late to report it to the police.
Seeing that people had arrived in the front, middle, and back yards, Liu Haizhong didn't wait any longer. He patted the table and said straight to the point: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and at this critical moment, there is a thief in the yard."
"The bacon and salted fish that your uncle hung on the rope were stolen. This is a very bad thing. The thief must be caught. Of course, this thief may be from our yard or from the yard outside. I hope everyone will actively provide clues so that the thief can be found as soon as possible."
After a pause, Liu Haizhong added, "Of course, it's also possible that they took the wrong items and took the Yan family's bacon back home as their own New Year's gift. This situation is understandable. As long as they take the initiative to hand over the bacon and salted fish, the misunderstanding will be resolved."
After saying this, Liu Haizhong glanced at everyone present, and seeing that no one took the initiative to stand up, he winked at Yan Bugui.
