These days every household lives a very tight life. Thieves either steal money or food. If a thief comes, your family won’t be able to afford food for half a month, and if things go wrong the family may even have to suffer from starvation.
How dare they steal things in broad daylight and early in the morning?
Jiang Yan made a lot of noise, which alarmed the neighbors. Some people came out with brooms in their hands and shouted, "Catch the thief!" Others came out with spatulas and washboards in their hands to catch the thief.
"Where is the thief?"
"Where is the thief?"
As soon as the neighbors came out, they blocked Pan Wenhong and Peng Yu in the alley.
When the mother and daughter saw that the situation was not good, they quickly waved their hands and said, "We are not thieves, no."
The two men's eyes were evasive and their bodies were wrapped tightly. It was obvious that they were not good people.
Although the weather is cold, it is not cold enough to wrap your face with a scarf.
The uncles and aunts in the alley concluded that these two people were thieves!
"Catch him and send him to the police station."
"Yes! Send him to the police station."
"We are not thieves." Pan Wenhong spread her hands. "Look carefully, we don't have anything on us. Besides, if anyone has lost something at home, we are not thieves."
As everyone was hesitating, a man with a hoarse voice in the distance shouted at the top of his lungs, "They are either thieves or enemy spies. Who are the good people who would be surrounded like this?"
Everyone suddenly understood and became excited!
If these two people are really enemy spies, they have done a great job!
Capturing an enemy spy is a matter of honor for the family.
"Don't let them get away, catch them."
"Send him to the police station."
The crowd was outraged and everyone swarmed towards the mother and daughter. Some grabbed their scarves, some grabbed their arms, and some blocked both ends of the alley tightly, for fear that they would run away.
At first, the mother and daughter resisted vigorously, saying, "We are not enemy spies, nor are we thieves."
"Let go, you got the wrong person."
"Don't catch it, don't catch it."
The mother and daughter held the scarf tightly and refused to let go. But there were only two of them, and they were no match for so many hands. After a few pulls, the scarves on their heads were torn off, and two green turtle faces appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone was stunned and could not believe their eyes. The whole alley seemed to be under a spell. Everyone was under a spell cast by the two green turtles, and time seemed to be sealed.
Two turtles showed up.
"You... Pan, Mr. Pan, teacher?"
"Peng Yu?"
The mother and daughter finally realized what had happened. They wanted to cry but couldn't. They grabbed the scarf and wrapped themselves tightly again.
"Are you happy? Are you satisfied?" Pan Wenhong's extremely serious voice came over, "I have emphasized so many times that we are not thieves, but you insisted on giving in. Now you are in trouble."
Without saying a word, she pulled Peng Yu out.
People automatically made way for the two amazing women and watched them leave, unable to recover for a long time.
"they……"
“Isn’t that a turtle painted on his face?”
"Yeah, green."
The neighbors who witnessed it all did not come to their senses until this moment.
Their shoulders were shaking, their expressions were painful, and the sound of "puff, puff" was heard continuously. Then a huge laugh resounded throughout the alley. People laughed so hard that they bent over and tears came out.
"Oh my god, this is really outrageous. What are you thinking? Drawing a turtle on your face. What kind of trendy thing is this?"
"What's so fashionable about this? Who can draw a turtle on their face?"
Someone whispered, "Maybe these two women have done too many immoral things, and now they are being punished."
Who dares to respond to this?
"Come on, let's go and go back to pack up."
"Yes, I still have to buy groceries!"
The neighbors went back to their homes, and soon the alley returned to normal. Jiang Yan seized the opportunity and hurried out of the alley.
She first went to the state-owned restaurant to have breakfast, and then went to the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative to wait for Uncle Luo's car. After a while, the familiar ox cart came into view. In addition to Uncle Luo, the team leader also came.
The captain had a frown on his face, but when he saw her, his brows seemed to relax a little.
Uncle Luo parked the car and squatted down against the wall to smoke his pipe.
Bao Zhiguo stared at Jiang Yan closely and asked softly, "You didn't come home yesterday? Is there something wrong?" He only found out this morning that Jiang Yan didn't come back. Chang Zhiqing had found him specifically to talk about this matter alone, fearing that some news that was unfavorable to little Jiang Zhiqing would leak out.
"It's okay, what can happen to me? Just put your mind at ease, absolutely nothing will happen." Jiang Yan grinned, "Not only is it okay, there are good things happening!"
Bao Zhiguo was skeptical, "What good news?"
"Fish fry, medicine! They are all on the way. Will they be here in two days?" Jiang Yan said, "I sent Si Lu away yesterday and called my uncle. He said so himself."
"Really?" Bao Zhiguo slapped his thigh, "What kind of cloth is that?"
"Impermeable membrane fabric."
"Yes, that's it. When will it arrive? You don't know, the puddles have been cleared, waiting for you to go back! And as for your house, I have bought almost everything, and I have chosen the people who will build it."
This is an incredibly efficient job!
Jiang Yan nodded and flattered him, "I trust you to do the job, right? I have to keep an eye on this place, don't let us be away when the transport truck arrives, that would be bad."
"Then you'll wait here every day. Where will you stay at night? You don't even have a letter of introduction when you go out."
Jiang Yan laughed, "Hey, uncle, don't be so rigid. We are in our town, not going to other places. We can still give money without a letter of introduction. Just give more money."
Bao Zhiguo's eyes widened. "Is this really possible?"
"Don't worry about it. I have a solution."
"Well, that won't work. You're a girl, so I'll stay here and you go back."
"How can that be possible!" She still wanted to see what happened to the Peng family, so she couldn't listen to Bao Zhiguo.
"It's time to harvest. Our production team can't do without you. Besides, you have to keep an eye on the construction of the house. I don't understand this. When people send me things, they have to see me before they deliver them. They don't even know you."
When Bao Zhiguo thought about it, it was indeed the case and he felt a little puzzled.
"It's only two days, there won't be any trouble. If you're really worried, why don't you come to town to see me once a day?"
That's all we can do.
"That's fine, but I'll only feel at ease if you bring a note (letter of introduction) with you when you go out."
"Then where can you write me a note?"
Bao Zhiguo just said: "It's easy. Just wait. I'll go to the commune and ask them to prescribe a prescription for you. It will definitely be good and better than the one prescribed by the village!"
Jiang Yan nodded. "Then I'll wait for you here. Come back soon."
Her mind had already gone to the county, and she didn't know whether Peng Dazhou had been arrested yet!
