Chapter 152: Caught the Thief Again

Mao Yanyan deliberately avoided her, and they didn't have a chance to talk until after get off work.

Watching Mao Yanyan quickly walk out of the factory gate, Dai Qing pursed her lips and thought, well, let's just consider that their fate is shallow.

According to the rules of our ancestors, the beginning of the Ramadan is the New Year, and many people are preparing for the New Year. After the 23rd day of Ramadan, the busyness officially begins, steaming and frying what needs to be steamed.

There is also a rhyme: On the 23rd, sticky sugar melons are made; on the 24th, the house is swept; on the 25th, tofu is made; on the 26th, pork is stewed; on the 27th, the New Year's chicken is slaughtered; on the 28th, the flour is fermented; on the 29th, steamed buns are steamed; on the 30th, a night of sleep is stayed up all night; and dumplings are eaten every year on New Year's Eve.

Follow the rhyme and start getting busy, and you can also prepare all the New Year's goods.

Although Dai Qing was alone, she also wanted to have a happy new year. She had to prepare some chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables, tofu, etc., just enough for her to eat.

The factory will be closed from the 26th day of the 1st lunar month until the 8th day of the 1st lunar month after the Chinese New Year.

Dai Qing got up early in the morning and got fully armed, started cleaning, and prepared to welcome the new year alone.

Fortunately, she usually cleans the house, so it was very clean. She cleaned it inside and out without much effort.

In the yard, apart from the dry grape trellis, there is a row of bamboos next to the wall. The bamboos are not afraid of wind and snow and remain green.

After cleaning, Dai Qing washed an apple and sat in the house, eating the apple while reading a book.

"Xiao Qing, you're so nice at home. I've been hiding here for a while. I'm almost dying of exhaustion." Juanzi walked in, rubbing her waist. She looked at Dai Qing with envy. "I'm busy from morning till night at home. I'm almost dying of exhaustion."

"You have a big family, so you need to prepare a lot of New Year's goods. It will be more convenient to eat them after you are done with your work." Dai Qingxun handed her an orange and chuckled.

"But there are too many things to prepare. You don't know that I spent half a day just washing kelp today. My hands are all wrinkled."

Juanzi stretched out her hand and pouted.

"My grandmother would cook a large pot of kelp with cubed meat every year. We would eat this dish until the Lantern Festival. There was also artificial meat. Now these two things have become my nightmares."

"Pfft, that's really hard work." Every household is busy now. She was also busy when her grandfather was alive in her previous life, but it doesn't take much time to prepare the New Year's goods for the two of them.

"You don't know, I'm afraid of the Chinese New Year now. It's too tiring."

Juanzi lay on the table, complaining weakly.

"Then you can hide here with me. Come with me to the small commodity city later and buy some snacks."

"No problem. My mom won't be able to find you if you go out." Juanzi's eyes lit up and she picked up the orange and started eating. "By the way, you and Mao Yanyan have completely broken up. I saw her several times, but she avoided me."

"Well, we haven't spoken since then."

Dai Qing was helpless and wanted to persuade her a few more times, but since she was hiding on purpose, forget it.

"She really doesn't know what good people are. She cried sometimes. I saw her boyfriend from a distance a few times. He held his chin up and was as proud as a rooster. It was obvious at first glance that he was not a good person."

Juanzi snorted.

"Besides, Yanyan was very cautious when talking to him, and she looked very uncomfortable. Doesn't her aunt love her very much? Why did she choose such a thing for her?"

Dai Qing was silent. Most parents were concerned about family conditions and appearance. Many people believed that it was not a big problem for a man to be unmarried and just hang out a little. Once he got married and had children, he would naturally settle down.

If he really can't control himself, it means that his wife is incompetent and can't control him.

"Everyone has their own life. If you interfere too much, you will be complained about."

"That's true. If she wants to turn a blind eye to the truth, let her do it. Anyway, I think you did nothing wrong. Hiding things is harmful." Juanzi threw the orange peel into the trash can. "Hurry up and leave, or my mother will drag me back soon."

Dai Qing put on a short cotton jacket, rode a bicycle, and took Wang Juan to the small commodity wholesale market.

This kind of market closes the latest, so many people rush to buy melon seeds and candies in the last few days.

"There are so many people,"

Juanzi put her arm around Dai Qing and looked at the huge crowd in the market, clicking her tongue.

"The factories are closed for the holidays, and everyone wants to have a happy new year while they have some free time."

Dai Qing pulled her along and followed the crowd towards the snack area, where she bought some watermelon seeds and sunflower seeds, and two kilograms of individually packaged egg cakes.

"We've bought almost everything, let's go." There were so many people that I was sweating.

I turned around and took two steps when I heard someone shouting.

"A thief stole my wallet. Catch the thief."

When someone shouted, many people turned to look over there. The thief panicked and ran out, but he was stopped after a few steps. Just as he was about to attack, he saw the thief took out a dagger from his pocket and slashed it casually.

"Whoever dares to come forward, I will stab to death."

Seeing that the thief was carrying a knife, everyone subconsciously took a step back.

During the Chinese New Year, it’s okay to lend a helping hand appropriately, but it still takes courage to let yourself get hurt.

"Catch the thief, catch the thief..."

The thief heard the shouting, turned back to look provocative, and rushed out quickly.

"Catch the thief, catch the thief, my money, damn it..."

The market was suddenly in chaos. Dai Qing grabbed Juanzi's hand and protected her behind her. When she saw the thief rushing over, she narrowed her eyes, raised her foot and kicked him in the abdomen, knocking him to the ground.

He then went up and grabbed the other person's wrist, applied a little force, and the knife slipped out of his hand.

Now that the thief no longer had a weapon in his hand, the people around him immediately relaxed. Several young men rushed over and helped hold her down. Dai Qing stood up and stood beside her holding the knife.

"Hurry up and find the market manager, send him to the police station and give him a good lesson. He stole in broad daylight."

The lady behind rushed over and started searching for her wallet, and a brown-red wallet was pulled out from the thief's pocket.

"This is my wallet, damn it, if you dare to steal my wallet, I will beat you to death."

The old lady held her wallet and slapped the thief twice.

When the market manager came over, several people tied up the man together. Dai Qing handed the knife over. The manager looked at her and

"You and the owner of the lost item come with me to the office to take a statement. The next step is to send the thief to the police station."

"good,"

At that time, it was common to be brave and righteous. As long as one person took action, it would lead a large group of people. Everyone hated petty theft.

Wang Juan held Dai Qing's hand, her face turned pale with fear. She had just seen the thief holding a knife, and Dai Qing dared to confront him. Her heart was in her throat.

"Are you okay?"

Dai Qing shook her head, smiled at her, and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I'm very capable."

Juanzi: “…”

Yes, this man has won a medal for bravery, so he is naturally not afraid of thieves.
