New Year's Day is a day of celebration. Every household gets up early and shovels snow in the yard. Soon the snow is piled up in one place. Yuanyuan jumps out and shouts, "Dad, don't shovel the snow away, we still have to make a snowman."
What you wish for comes true. Yesterday I was thinking about making a snowman, but today the snow is especially heavy. The little girl happily swings her pigtails, as lively as a little magpie.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay, pile them all here."
The father did not refuse his own daughter. It was cold and she wanted to eat something hot. Mingmei got up early in the morning and made some black sesame paste. Zhuang Zhixi went out to buy fried dough sticks. No matter whether it was fried dough sticks or fried dough rings, they could not get enough of it.
Although it is not a big Chinese New Year, it is still very lively. In the morning, both children wore festive red sweaters. There is a performance today. It is strange that although the two siblings are twins, they are getting older and older and they are not very similar.
Of course, if you stand together, some people will guess they are siblings, but if you say they are twins, they don't look that similar. Tuan Tuan is more handsome, while Yuan Yuan looks a bit like her mother, with a bit of cuteness.
But now that they are wearing red sweaters, they look more alike. They look as pretty as the boys and girls in the paintings of that year.
The two of them had a tacit understanding. As soon as Yuanyuan raised her hand, Tuantuan handed the tea egg to her sister. The little girl ate it with big mouthfuls. She mumbled, "Mom, can we go to the factory after school today?"
Although she knew it was impossible, the little girl still wanted to ask again.
Mingmei: "You two should go home honestly. We still need to build a snowman. After you go home, when we all come back, let's go to Donglaishun to eat mutton hotpot. How about that?"
The two children immediately nodded happily, saying that eating hot pot is the best thing to do on a snowy day.
Not only is Donglaishun delicious, but even Grandma Wang's Northeastern pickled cabbage and pork belly hotpot is delicious. Yuanyuan said seriously: "My favorite food is hotpot, it ranks first among my favorites."
Mingmei exposed her daughter: "You said last year that your favorite food was roast duck."
Yuanyuan said coquettishly: "But people will change."
Mingmei smiled and tapped her little nose, smiling broadly, and said, "Mom, let's go together. Will grandpa and grandma go too?"
Mingmei: "Of course, we have already agreed on this, including your brother Hutou and sister Xiaoyanzi."
The round and long one made Mingmei even happier. Mingmei's school also had a party to celebrate the New Year's Day. She looked at the time and said, "I have to go. It's too late."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'll take you there."
Tuan Tuan looked at his father eagerly, and Zhuang Zhixi said straightforwardly: "We will send you off together, and then I will send your mother off, and finally we will go to work. How about it? Isn't Dad the best?"
The two children immediately started to giggle, looking extremely happy.
This is of course very good.
The family of four went out, and just as they reached the door, they heard Aunt Zhou loudly ask, "Xiao Zhuang, what time does your machinery factory's art performance start?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Nine o'clock. Don't go there too early. It will be cold."
"Okay."
He smiled and said, "Shall I find you a good place?"
Aunt Zhou waved her hand and said, "No need. Jiang Lu asked us to go to her office. It's just right to watch from the window. It's not cold and not crowded. Hehe."
The old lady has quite a few acquaintances around her.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay, then you can take my parents with you."
After he finished his greetings, the children also gathered together. Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei led a group of gourd dolls to school. It was early in the morning and the snow had not stopped yet. Snowflakes fell on their heads and shoulders, and giggled. There was a lot of snow on the road, and the alleys had not been swept in time. A deep pit was left when they stepped on it.
These little brats deliberately chose to walk in the unswept areas and stepped on the snow on purpose.
Yuanyuan was even more naughty. She saw a snow pile in the distance, and immediately ran up, jumped down with a whoosh, and her legs were covered with snow.
"Wow. That's amazing!"
"I can do that, too. I can do that, too."
The children clapped happily and thought it was really awesome.
Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei: "..."
I finally understand why Yuanyuan's clothes always get dirty so quickly.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "My girl, do you also jump into puddles in the summer?"
Yuanyuan held her head high and said, "Of course! I'm awesome!"
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
Mingmei: “Puff!”
Tuan Tuan immediately tugged at her sister, and Yuan Yuan immediately looked at her parents carefully. Seeing that they were not unhappy, she laughed heartily, her voice like a silver bell. Girls who grew up in a good family atmosphere are like this, cheerful and happy.
The little ones quickly started running and jumping again, and it took them longer than usual to walk to school.
Zhuang Zhixi and his wife sent them to school and told them: "Don't run around when you go home after school. There are too many people everywhere today, and the snow is heavy. Go home early."
"good!"
The children all responded promptly.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Wife, let's go. I'll take you there. I haven't taken you there for a long time."
Mingmei: "Then you have to work harder. You can't be like this. Your performance is not good."
Zhuang Zhixi immediately smiled and said, "I promise to perform better in the future."
He left with his wife with a smile on his face. In order to keep up with the children, he didn't ride the bicycle but pushed it.
Mingmei: "Be careful, ride slowly, the road is slippery today."
"I know."
Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei were like every other dual-income family in this city. They went out early in the morning and headed to their respective units. Some of them were working, while others were having activities. I don't know why, but there were so many units holding activities this year. For example, the machinery factory attracted many family members to watch the fun.
Although it was open air and very cold, it did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm at all.
What's the big deal if it's a little cold? What's important is to be happy!
Although they knew the party would not start until nine o'clock, everyone got up early and prepared everything. For example, He Lan put on her cotton-padded jacket at around seven in the morning and strolled around the yard. Zhao Guihua came out to pour water and said with a smile, "It's still snowing outside. What are you doing?"
He Lan: "I don't have anything to do this morning. I'm going to work or school. I'm waiting to go to the machinery factory. They open too late, at nine o'clock, but it feels like it's already mid-morning."
Zhao Guihua has seen the excitement several times and is considered to have some experience.
She said: "This is for the convenience of the leaders. It's the end of the year, and leaders from all walks of life have to visit various factories. Heavy industrial factories like factories are naturally more important. It would be inappropriate if it was too early. If it was too early, then it had to be ended early. It's impossible for the leaders to come to express their condolences and the factory has finished its visit, right? How can the leaders express their machinery condolences then?"
"That's right."
He Lan has been a housewife for so many years that she is no longer used to this.
Although the machinery factory does not hold activities every year, He Lan has participated in them many times. In fact, she is more or less accustomed to the fact that they start at around 9 o'clock. But she did not think of asking about it, so she just asked today.
Zhao Guihua: "I'll boil some ginger soup and pour it into the bottle. It's good to drink some hot ginger soup after watching the fun. Otherwise, look at the snow and the sky won't be clear today. Don't catch a cold."
After she said that, He Lan hurried home to prepare something so that her daughter could have a bowl of wine when she came back from school.
This group of old men and women went out together, all dressed tightly, Lan Sihai was the most capable of doing things, he also carried a small water bottle, which he carried on his back to drink water. Several old men looked over curiously, and were amazed, there was a piece of ginseng in it, and some roots and whiskers, it looked like a tonic.
Lan Sihai said as always: "As a human being, you should be nicer to yourself."
His wife was beside him, nodding in agreement.
Some people, it has nothing to do with age, this person is interesting, living with him, you can always experience different tastes. Lan Sihai is such a person, although he has not read much, but except for not being able to study, there is nothing he can't do.
And it makes people feel comfortable.
"Brother, I have to learn from you." Zhuang Laonian and others sighed.
Lan Sihai: "That's fine. I'll take you out to see it tomorrow. I recently met an old man who raises pigeons. That's really interesting..."
"That's a good idea..."
The gay men gathered together to chat and laugh, and the lesbians were no exception. There was no barrier between the young and the old.
Wang Xiangxiu also hangs out with the elderly now. Although she seemed friendly in the past, there was a layer of distance between them. This was mainly because there were too many bad things that happened back then, and she was a little embarrassed. But since Jin came to take over the class, she has more time at home, and she has gradually become warmer with everyone.
She has now joined the ranks of the elderly and is considered a young comrade in their ranks.
After all, compared to Zhao Guihua, Aunt Wang, and Aunt Zhou, she was still a generation younger, and compared to Grandpa Lan, she was two generations younger. In this organization, she was considered to be in the prime of life, and was of the same generation as He Lan and Wang Zizhen.
She folded her hands and said with a bit of pride: "Today our Jin Lai has a show."
She has been holding it in for the past few days, hoping to make a splash.
"Hey! What is he acting?"
"Singing, dancing, or a skit?"
"This boy is good-looking, and it's just right for him to be on stage."
"That's true."
Wang Xiangxiu was very proud and said with a smile: "He performed in a skit, playing a pretty boy, which was considered to be a true portrayal of himself."
Everyone: “…”
You are truly a real mother.
How did you come up with this idea of "acting as yourself"?
But it's too accurate.
"It's an honor to be on stage. If I'm not good-looking, how can I be qualified to play a gigolo? Only people with good looks can play this role. This can also be considered a compliment." Zhao Guihua said to make up for it.
Wang Xiangxiu, who was standing by, looked at Zhao Guihua in surprise for a long time before saying, "You are talking about exactly the same thing as my Tong."
Zhao Guihua burst out laughing, it was obvious that Tong was here to appease his elder brother.
But I never expected that Jin Lai, who was so kind to me, would listen to me and behave himself. It's hard to say what kind of person he was. You know, he didn't change in his previous life.
Everyone locked the gate and left together. On days like this, there was no one in the yard.
Aunt Sui and the others also went out with them. If they didn't want to see the excitement on such a day, then when would they wait? Everyone went out together. But they didn't notice that there were several pairs of eyes staring at them silently.
Yes, this is not talking about others, but the "meal" gang that has been preparing for several months and is recuperating due to injuries.
Several people gathered at the back of the toilet, hiding close to the wall for fear of being seen. Fortunately, it snowed heavily early this morning and the weather was quite cold, so there were not many people strolling around outside.
They left home early in the morning at dawn and ran straight here to hide.
Several people agreed that this was the best way to go. Why? Because it was early. It was precisely because it was early that they were less likely to be discovered. Otherwise, everyone would go out, and they, the strangers, would go this way. How dangerous would that be?
You know, the foot-binding detective team in this alley is not to be underestimated. These old ladies can keep an eye on outsiders. If they come here early, there will be fewer problems in this regard, although it is a bit cold. But only those who have endured hardships can become superior people.
The suffering they suffer now is all for the sake of enjoying happiness in the future.
So, this matter can be sustained.
They came here stealthily at five o'clock in the morning, with strange looks on their faces. They have been waiting here since early morning. They are about to turn into snowmen and are about to freeze to death.
But, they can endure it, they can endure it.
Several people gritted their teeth, not afraid of the hardship, the four of them just leaned against the wall, not daring to chat, waiting silently. Those who came out to the toilet in the morning, and those who went to the chamber pot, they endured it all the way with difficulty.
Although the taste is a bit worse, it’s winter so it’s not obvious!
No matter what, it’s better than their previous sewer scare.
Several people watched as wave after wave of people passed by. They waited and waited but no one from Yard No. 44 came out. They were so angry that they gnashed their teeth. They really deserved to die! They must steal all these guys.
Just when a few people were about to freeze into popsicles, they finally saw people from their yard coming out, including Wang Xiangxiu.
Old Cai was furious at once. He hated Wang Xiangxiu to the core. No matter if there were other people involved, he hated Wang Xiangxiu the most because it was this woman who caused him to lose his power.
He couldn't help it and almost stood up and rushed towards Wang Xiangxiu. Fortunately, Xiao Cai was paying close attention to his father, fearing that he would fail, so he quickly grabbed his father. Old Cai turned around angrily.
Xiao Cai shook his head at him, with a hint of persuasion.
Old Cai gritted his teeth.
This enemy is very close.
Fan Debiao saw that things were not going well, so he quickly grabbed Lao Cai. If this old man ruined their plan, he would really kill him. Under the control of the two young men, Lao Cai was unable to successfully chase Wang Xiangxiu.
After a long while, Wang Xiangxiu was gone. Old Cai said viciously: "Why don't you let me take revenge?"
Xiao Cai said seriously: "Dad, if you seek revenge now, won't you alert the enemy? We still have important things to do. At this time, don't you understand that the overall situation is more important? You have been a leader, and you know best that you can't act rashly."
These words really touched Lao Cai's heart. He is indeed an insightful leader.
The weirdest thing is that bitch Wang Xiangxiu.
He whispered: "This bitch's son actually has something promising. Damn, the world is so unfair."
Xiao Cai: "Dad, since you think it's unfair, we should work harder. Isn't it a good revenge if we make them lose everything they have?"
After hearing this, Lao Cai immediately said: "Let's go now."
"Wait a minute, wait a moment." Fan Debiao was so annoyed. He really didn't want to tolerate these two old guys in the family. They did it for money, really for money. Otherwise, he would not give them any face at all.
He tried to stay rational and said, "There are still people in the alley. Let's wait for a while until the fight starts over there. We'll make our move after we're sure there are fewer people here. Otherwise, what if we try to pry open the door and get caught? We must take the smallest measures to achieve the biggest result."
They are doing big things, really big things.
"Yes, we should be more cautious. Dad, don't worry. I have experience in this matter. They started late and ended late too."
Old Cai was still waiting, and Jiang Baohong was already feeling uncomfortable all over. Last time she was in a hurry and didn't pay any attention, but this time when she saw these old acquaintances, she instantly felt so uncomfortable that she was going crazy.
To be honest, her conditions were pretty good when she worked at the bus station, and her clothes looked no worse than Mingmei's. But now she was wearing an old cotton-padded jacket. Although it had no patches, the cuffs and elbows were worn out. It had been worn for many years and was not warm at all. Her cotton-padded shoes were several years old and had been patched. But Mingmei was wearing a sandy yellow half-length cotton-padded jacket that was brand new. She had never seen anyone else wearing such a jacket when she went out for a stroll. It was obviously a new style. Not only that, she was also wearing long boots that reached her calves.
Her eyes are very good at recognizing good things. They can tell at a glance that something is really good. After seeing this, I just feel uncomfortable in my heart, liver and lungs.
Why? Why?
How could she live well? Jiang Baohong was already upset, but she never expected to see a girl with pigtails riding a bicycle. What a coincidence, she knew her. She was Guan Guiling's eldest daughter. Although she hadn't seen her for four or five years, she hated Guan Guiling deeply. She remembered her family very clearly.
Plus, she already knew that Guan Guiling's eldest daughter lived here, so how could she not recognize her? This girl was dressed just as well as Mingmei, and she even wore a woolen coat in a translucent pastel color.
Jiang Baohong's eyes were bulging out of her head with jealousy.
Such a beautiful color, she should have one. They all wore it well, even Wang Xiangxiu was not bad.
Speaking of which, she hadn't seen Wang Xiangxiu for more than ten years. The last time she saw her was in the hospital. At that time, she really hated this woman for seducing her man and had a big fight with her. But at that time, she was already in a mess and didn't pay attention to her appearance at all.
But now, looking at her again, Wang Xiangxiu has not aged much. Compared with the vicissitudes of the past ten years, although she looks a bit old, she is still younger than her peers, and she looks cheerful, as if she has always lived a good life.
She gnashed her teeth in anger, feeling as if her heart was being wrung out of her.
Why is her life so miserable! "Mom, Mom." Xiao Cai pushed Jiang Baohong twice before she reacted and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Cai frowned and said, "It's about time."
They didn't have watches, but they had been gone for a while, and they could vaguely hear firecrackers going off in the machinery factory, so they thought it had already started.
“We act,” he said.
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Jiang Baohong immediately became nervous and tried to stand up in a panic, but his legs were numb from squatting for so long that he stumbled and fell on Fan Debiao, crushing him tightly.
Fan Debiao snorted and his face darkened: "You are deliberately taking advantage of me, right?"
Jiang Baohong blushed and said, "What are you talking about? I am not that kind of person."
Although she said that, her eyes were still glued to Fan Debiao. It must be said that although Fan Debiao was not good-looking and not tall, he was a man after all. His old Cai... Jiang Baohong pursed her lips, that was not really a man.
In fact, she also looked down on Lao Cai in her heart, but she felt that she would not be able to survive without a man to rely on, so even if Lao Cai treated her badly, she would stay with him without any regrets.
But suddenly she had a different feeling, and she glanced at Fan Debiao intimately.
Fan Debiao was startled, and he quickly dodged and said, "Let's go, let's get down to business."
In his heart, he cursed Jiang Baohong. He didn't even consider his own age, and he still wanted to covet a strong man like him? Forget it!
The two people's little quarrel was not noticed by Old Cai and Little Cai. Old Cai was still furious and wanted to kill Wang Xiangxiu, while Little Cai was observing the surrounding situation and preparing to pry open the door. Little Cai felt bitter, because among the four big thieves, he was the only one who worked diligently for his business.
He said quickly, "Let's go over now."
"Wait a minute, my legs are numb."
"Why are you so nosy? You're the only one who has so much to do. Look at you. You're useless but you still have to follow me. Now you're just letting me down. Let's go first. You... uh, I, my legs are numb too."
While Old Cai was still scolding Jiang Baohong, he found that his legs were also numb.
They've been squatting here for so long, how could they not feel numb?
Xiao Cai was speechless: "You guys rub it and ease it off. We still have enough time. Don't panic, stay calm! We can do it!"
All four of them felt a little numb in their legs, and they rubbed their legs one by one. After a while, they finally felt better. Xiao Cai took out a headscarf, folded it to cover his face, revealing his eyes, and said, "According to what we agreed, my name is Hongtao Gou. In order to avoid being discovered, we can only call by code names after the action, and not by our names. Do you understand?"
"You little brat are still giving orders here." Old Cai slapped Little Cai on the head and said, "What do you think of me, Cao Hua Kai?"
Xiao Cai: "You have straightened the stone."
Kai and K are not the same thing.
"you..."
Fan Debiao was also very tired. He felt that his companions were really useless.
He said, "Don't worry about it. Cloverleaf is Cloverleaf! It's not important."
He took a deep breath and said, "I'm the Ace of Spades."
Jiang Baohong immediately said: "I am a square circle."
"Okay, listen to my command and set off."
Several people immediately took out their weapons to cover their faces. Jiang Baohong took out the stolen pants. It was fine as long as it was useful. It didn't matter what it was used for. Several people tiptoed to the No. 44 courtyard.
As expected, this street was very quiet and there were not many people around, because there were housing estates for the employees of machinery factories nearby.
Everybody went to watch the fun.
They immediately started to act. Xiao Cai said, "I'm not good at prying doors open. Spade Point, you do it."
Fan Debiao: “…”
Oh shit!
We calculated countless times, but we didn't expect that they wouldn't know how to pick the lock. This shows that they are not skilled in the business.
Fan Debiao frowned and said, "Let me try!"
Although it didn't work, he could still try. He simply took the wire and pushed it back and forth for a while...locked his head, and everything was fine.
They really haven't opened up the bloodline of the thief saint at all, and the word "no" is really engraved on their foreheads.
Fan Debiao poked and poked for a long time, his hands became numb, but the lock didn't open at all.
He said angrily: "Fuck it."
Lao Cai mocked: "Trash."
Fan Debiao wanted to get angry immediately, Xiao Cai said immediately: "Let's break it up, don't make a fuss at this time, Dad, you've got enough, don't make it endless, if you can't do anything and can only gossip. Why should we take you with us? We are here to help you make money and take revenge, not to listen to you fighting among yourself, you have this bad habit. Change it."
Just as Old Cai was about to lose his temper, Fan Debiao suddenly reached out and slapped him in the face, saying, "Damn it, you old bastards, I've put up with you for so long. Do you really think I have no temper? When I got rich, you were still in the remote countryside, and now you're pretending to be so arrogant in front of me, right? I think you're tired of living. If it weren't for Xiao Cai's sake, I wouldn't want to work with you at all. If you can do the job well, then do it. If not, I'll kill you! Don't think I'm easy to mess with."
He took out his knife and waved it fiercely.
When Mr. Cai saw this, he immediately became scared.
He covered his face with his hands hesitantly, not daring to refute.
This is how this person is. If he meets a powerful and fierce person, he will not dare to be fierce.
Xiao Cai looked at Fan Debiao unkindly, his eyes paused on his knife for a moment, but quickly said without saying anything: "Okay, no internal fighting."
Lao Cai: "I, I was just joking."
Fan Debiao snorted coldly and said, "From now on, you all listen to me."
Xiao Cai was not convinced: "You haven't been following me for as long as I have, you are not familiar with it..."
Fan Debiao mocked: "I have been here and fought here. Have you been here before? As the boss, can you control your useless parents? I am really blinded by greed to work with you. You have no ability, but you talk a lot of nonsense."
Xiao Cai: “You!”
He was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he also knew that he couldn't find anyone else at this time, and Fan Debiao was really not someone to be trifled with.
He took a deep breath and said, "I'll listen to you."
He looked at the knife again, and he became more suspicious of Fan De Biao. He wanted to use Fan De Biao, but he didn't want to be cheated by Fan De Biao. You know, he wanted to take the money and run away. What he feared most was that others would think the same way.
He can think so, but others can't.
How could that be possible? He felt a headache, but he took a deep breath and decided that the overall situation was the most important. It was too early to say anything now, and he had to get the money first. He said, "Break the door."
"good!"
Several people were banging on the door, and Fan Debiao was so angry that he almost died. He thought that these people were useless. He even had to do it. What's wrong with this compound? Why did they have such a big padlock? He was so angry that he kept banging!
He turned around and said, "Come and help quickly, why are you just watching the fun?"
Several people rushed forward quickly. Fortunately, there seemed to be really no one around at that time. No one came out to see such a big commotion. After a lot of effort, it felt like it took more than ten or twenty minutes before the big padlock was finally broken open.
Several people took a deep breath, quickly removed the padlock, and then pushed the door open. The Cai family was unfamiliar with this place, but Fan Debiao was somewhat familiar with it. After all, he was detained the last time he caused trouble here.
It was obviously him who was beaten.
A few people closed the door and threw the big padlock aside. It was the first time for several of them to do such a thing. They were excited and nervous and didn't know what to do.
Lao Cai took a deep breath and said, "We will split up and each of us will have a room."
Fan Debiao: "Let's not act separately. It will be faster if we gather together and search one room at a time. Even if someone comes back by chance, we can quickly subdue him. If we separate and encounter someone, what will we do?"
He didn't want to separate at all. What if everyone separated and hid their things? They should be together.
Xiao Cai also thought the same thing, nodded deeply and said, "Yes."
"Come on, let's get started, starting with the dealer."
The girl from the banker's family dared to attack him, so he will definitely rob her house clean this time.
"No, I don't agree. I can't agree to anything you say. We must start from Wang Xiangxiu's family first. We must!" Old Cai hated Wang Xiangxiu deeply.
Fan Debiao held his breath again, but he didn't argue with him at this time. No matter whose house was emptied first, they would not let it go in the end. He said, "Okay."
Old Cai immediately became proud. He felt that Fan Debiao was not bad and he still had some respect for him.
Several people immediately ran towards Wang Xiangxiu's house and started banging on the door. Damn, at this moment, I realized the importance of having a skill. If I knew how to open the lock at this moment, how much trouble I could save.
Everyone managed to open the door and squeeze in one by one.
The room was simply furnished, with a bunk bed, a set of cabinets, a square table in the middle, and only two chairs. The bedding and other things were thrown on the bed, and there were also some dirty clothes scattered on the bed. There were coal briquettes piled in the corner, and it looked very shabby and had not been cleaned up at all.
"Is this Wang Xiangxiu's home?"
"Yes, I am sure that the four rooms in the main house here belong to Wang Xiangxiu. I have inquired about this matter in advance. This is the compensation for the death of her husband and her father-in-law. It is indeed his home. I guess it is really her son who lives there."
"Okay then, start searching."
"Wang Xiangxiu's youngest son is still in high school. I guess this is where her eldest and second sons live together."
"Don't worry about who lives here, just do it."
Everyone immediately started searching, everyone got busy. They searched up and down. However, their progress was not smooth. This room was even cleaner than their face, and they didn't find a penny.
Xiao Cai frowned: "How is it possible that there is not a penny at all."
Fan Debiao: "It is precisely because there is not a penny here that it shows that this is a place where money is hidden. No matter how poor a family is, it is impossible that they don't have a penny. And there is absolutely nothing here, which just shows that the money was hidden by them."
"Yes, the money must have been hidden. Look carefully."
"Their family is really cunning. They hid the money too deeply. Even if we have to dig three feet deep in the ground, we must find the money."
"right!"
Everyone responded enthusiastically, looking for it again and again...
I couldn't look under the bed, inside the pillow, or in the pockets of my dirty clothes... I still couldn't find it. I couldn't find it on the tables, chairs, beams, or cabinets. It was nowhere to be found.
"What the hell..."
No matter how much they cursed, it was useless. The four of them searched a room of less than 20 square meters for more than half an hour, but found nothing. How the hell could they find nothing?
"No. What should I do..."
Several people were numb.
Fan Debiao didn't want to give up, but there were still so many houses he hadn't searched.
He said, "There is really no other way. Let's go to another one, let's go next door!"
The next room was a little cozier than the previous one, but why did the clothes look so old-fashioned? Jiang Baohong sneered, "When you go out, you act like a decent person, but at home you're still tattered."
No one paid any attention to her at this time. Everyone continued to search. This room had more things than the previous one. Everyone searched more carefully, but... there was still nothing. Damn, how did they hide the money? They hid it better than a mouse! No matter what they did, they were most afraid of a bad start. This was the case with them now. Such a bad start greatly affected their morale. At this time, everyone didn't care about anything else. They rushed out and started to smash other doors. There was no plan. They just searched randomly.
"I found it!" Xiao Cai shouted excitedly.
Logically, he should have done it secretly, but the failure was too annoying, so he encouraged everyone: "There is money in this drawer."
Although they all look like small change, at first glance they are about thirty or forty yuan.
He immediately became happy and said, "Not bad!"
It was good to see the money, but Fan Debiao was not satisfied. In his mind, being rich meant robbing a five-digit sum. He didn't care about these tens of dollars. He said, "Hurry up and continue. How about this, Cao Huakai, you smash the doors and break them all open, and then we search them one by one."
"OK."
Old Cai knew that he couldn't disobey Fan Debiao at this time, as they had made a bad start. They had to hurry up. He wasn't very strong, but he still banged on the door of each house with great effort. After banging on the doors, he was exhausted.
He was exhausted and sat on the ground.
At this time, Xiao Cai pulled him up and said, "This is not the time to rest. We have already wasted a lot of time."
They had indeed wasted a lot of time. He turned his head and saw the reflection of the glass not far away, so he hurried over. There was a clock in the room, and he saw that it was already 10:40. It turned out that they had spent so much time only to break open the lock.
Xiao Cai: “This took longer than we expected.”
He said, "Hurry up."
At this moment, everyone had no time to work together and immediately dispersed to search.
Even the two people who wanted to eat alone had no objection, because it took too long, and money was not easy to find, so they were naturally in a dilemma. So at this time, they didn't care about so many things.
Several people quickly found a room nearby and went in.
At this time, several primary school students were leaving school with their school bags. They were not like the adults, who started at 9 o'clock. Their activities started at 8 o'clock. Now they were over. Several primary school students walked back together.
Yuanyuan: "Watch TV, set off firecrackers, build snowmen, and eat hot pot."
I have so many plans for today.
Everyone laughed. Xiao Qijin said, "Yuanyuan, you better be careful. If the adults know that what we bought were not firecrackers, but double-tip firecrackers, we will definitely get beaten."
Yuanyuan said softly: "I know, don't worry, I won't let the adults know, hehe."
Everyone also laughed out loud and did bad things secretly!
Everyone came to the door. Yuanyuan frowned and said, "Huh? Why is the door unlocked? No one is here to watch the fun."
Li Zhenzhen: “I heard that everyone is going.”
A few children pushed open the door, and as soon as they came in, a few elementary school students found that something was wrong. The yard was too messy. The snow had not stopped today, and it was snowing intermittently, so the yard that had been swept in the morning had accumulated a layer of snow again, and there were messy footprints on the snow.
The doors of every household were wide open.
It can also be seen that they were basically smashed open and not opened at all.
Everyone's expression changed at once.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, Tuan Tuan suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a lot of messy scratches on the door just now. He was about to speak when Jiang Baohong came out of the house. She screamed, "Hurry up, the kids are back!"
She screamed and rushed forward, directly towards the children. Bai Qingqing was caught in an instant, and the children screamed in fear: "Ah!"
Qi Jin didn't hesitate, he rushed forward and bit Jiang Baohong's hand. Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan also stepped on Jiang Baohong quickly. Jiang Baohong let go in pain. Li Zhenzhen immediately pulled Bai Qingqing over. The children were about to run, but when they turned around, they saw the door was slammed shut by Lao Cai. He was at Bai Fendou's house just now, which was the closest to their home. Naturally, he closed the door as soon as he heard the noise.
If the child were allowed to run out and call for help, it would be the end of him.
He laughed grimly and said, "You little bastard, you still want to run?"
"Damn it, beat those little bastards to death for daring to bite me!"
At this time, two other people also came out, and they were attacked from all sides.
Several children trembled, but soon they shouted, "Grandpa Lan!"
Several people thought someone had returned, so they reflexively watched the door. Li Zhenzhen bumped into Jiang Baohong, and the strong girl really staggered. Several children quickly ran in the opposite direction of the backyard, and at this time Xiao Cai was standing at the junction of the front and back yards. He was not afraid at all. Instead, he showed a foolish expression of a cat playing with a mouse. He was just at Grandpa Lan's house.
Aren't these kids running over here walking into a trap?
There was no way he would let them run to the backyard. He laughed, his face full of sinister malice.
"I advise you to be honest. I'll tie you up and throw you in the cellar, and you still have a way out. If you piss us off, I'll kill you! I'm not someone you can mess with, bro."
He kept on laughing, and Tuan Tuan and the others didn't stop at all. Yuan Yuan flew up and kicked. The little girl was really a martial artist, although she was young and not strong enough. But Xiao Cai, who was lazy and did nothing, didn't have much strength.
In addition, he had just recovered from a serious illness, and although he was a grown man, he was kicked by the little girl and took several steps back. Before Xiao Cai could react, Tuantuan went up and kicked him.
Well, men understand men best.
Oh no, the little boy understands men best. He kicked directly at the key position. Anyway, it is a skill passed down from the ancestors in the compound.
Xiao Cai let out an ear-piercing scream: "Ahhhh!"
He covered the spot and squatted down. The kids didn't pursue him. When the others came after him, they rushed directly to Lan Sihai's house. Tuan Tuan quickly locked the door from the inside.
"Damn it, damn it, I'm going to teach these little bastards a lesson!"
Several children rushed into the house, each with a frightened expression. They never thought that the bad guy would be so bold as to break into the house.
"What shall I do?"
Several people came over and started banging on the door.
Fan Debiao: “Smash the windows!”
At the command, several people began to act.
Xiao Cai is still squatting on the ground, angrily shouting, "These little bastards. I'm going to kill them. I'm going to kill them."
Jiang Baohong, who was also injured, was also very angry. Bang! The glass shattered immediately.
"What should I do?"
Bai Qingqing and Li Zhenzhen were both frightened and started crying. The other children also had tears in their eyes. Tuantuan saw them about to break in through the window and said, "We can't let them in!"
He took a deep breath, rushed to the corner, and found two ice spikes, which were used by Lan Sihai's ice skates. He handed the ice spikes to Qi Jin and Li Zhenzhen and said, "You two stand at the window, and stab them if they reach out their hands or heads!"
"ah?"
Tuantuan shouted: "Quick! Do you want to die?"
Li Zhenzhen wiped her tears from her face and rushed over immediately. Xiao Qijin was not to be outdone.
He quickly continued: "Sister Qingqing is here to help."
Neither of them was ambiguous. Although they were both scared in their hearts, they grew up together and had a tacit understanding that they had formed over the years.
To explain why Tuan Tuan ran to Lan Sihai's house first, it was because he knew that there were a lot of weird guys here and he was the best at resisting bad guys. There were a bunch of boxes in the corner of Lan Sihai's wall, which contained a lot of things.
Yuanyuan found a rope and a small rake that could hold onto the wall, and stuffed them into her pocket, ready for any emergency.
"ah!"
Xiao Qijin pricked Lao Cai's hand, and Lao Cai cried out, wondering why their family members were always the ones who got hurt.
Tuan Tuan shouted, "Hold on! We'll help you right away!"
He found two mousetraps and gave Bai Qingqing a wink, who immediately put them at the door.
Tuantuan finally found something more important. Yuanyuan quickly stepped forward and the two of them put it at the door. Tuantuan started shaking it, and soon, smoke began to fill the air. Tuantuan actually opened the bolt at this time.
He turned around and took out the firecrackers they had secretly bought today.
Originally I just wanted to play with it secretly, but I didn't expect it to be useful.
He took out a match and said, "When I say one or two, light it and throw it."
He lowered his voice: "Not a lot, throw it slowly."
"good."
The four-member food gang and the children did not gain any advantage, and they were furious. However, they were adults after all, and it was impossible for them to rely on two children to resist them. When they were about to rush in through the window, several people laughed maliciously and said, "Damn dogs, let us catch you..."
Li Zhenzhen cried, but she shouted in a sobbing voice: "I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid!"
Because the house was filled with smoke, people outside could not see clearly what was going on inside.
Fan Debiao: "Damn, what the hell is this."
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Fan Debiao felt something being thrown at him. He dodged reflexively, laughed, and shouted: "You thought you could kill me with something? You are exactly... Shit!"
Snap! Bang!
The firecrackers made a loud noise and sent out sparks.
Although Fan De Biao dodged as soon as he saw something was wrong, the firecracker still landed on Fan De Biao's instep, and the firecracker went off. It wasn't very powerful, but... it still hurt! Fan De Biao: "Fuck! Damn brat!"
He rushed over with a roar, reaching out to hit someone—KAKA! "Ah! Ahhhhhh!"
Comrade Su Jinlai has felt the power of this powerful mousetrap. He felt one and jumped everywhere. "Fuck! Ahhhh! Help!"
Fan Debiao fell into the trap again.
This is the saddest thing in life. He thinks he is a king, but in fact he is just a loser, the most useless loser.
Both of his feet were caught by mousetraps, and he fell on his back, with a crackling sound... This was not the sound of firecrackers, but the sound of him falling on the urinal at the door and the urinal hitting the ground. He fell on it, and although there was nothing in it, it was still disgusting.
Moreover, before he could react, another firecracker was thrown at him, directly hitting him and blowing his cotton-padded jacket apart.
The torn cotton-padded jacket with the cotton exposed caught fire directly.
"Fuck! Roll over."
"Hurry up, roll over."
Fan Debiao felt pain in his back and feet. He cried and snotted in pain, and said, "Hurry, help me..."
The Cai family, it's strange that the Cai family will help. They are afraid that the fire will spread over here. Don't even think about them meddling in other people's business.
Xiao Cai: "We'll catch the child, you just roll around."
He rushed to the door, but did not dare to rush in. Fan Debiao's miserable condition was still vivid in their minds, and they were afraid that they would suffer the same loss. After all, who knew if there were any mousetraps inside.
The Cai family refused to help, so Fan Debiao rolled on the ground and finally put out the flames in the snow. But it was still painful. He felt like his feet were going to fall off. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open the mousetrap! "Help me!"
He yelled loudly, but Xiao Cai refused to go. He himself didn't even dare to rush forward, and ordered his parents: "You go ahead!"
Old Cai: “…”
Jiang Baohong: “…”
Neither of them was very happy.
Who knows if there are any more?
They all gathered at the door, and Li Zhenzhen and Xiao Qijin finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were so scared just now!
Tuan Tuan quickly lit another firecracker and threw it out, heading straight for Xiao Cai.
Xiao Cai: “Fuck!”
He dodged, but unexpectedly caught the firecracker. Seeing sparks flying, he screamed and quickly let go - bang!
"ah!"
Fan Debiao screamed again, this thing was thrown at him!
Although this firecracker is not a grenade, it will definitely explode if thrown like this. Even if the firepower is not good, it will make cotton fly and it is normal to get some minor injuries.
"Fuck you, Xiao Cai, you bastard, can you tell the difference between friend and foe...you bastard!"
Xiao Cai: "I didn't mean it."
He wasn't actually injured, he was just scared.
But this time he was even angry. These little bastards really rebelled against them.
He said, "You guys come out here, you guys...ah!"
What the hell is being thrown out? He dodged quickly. Sure enough, it was firecrackers! Is n't it too early for them to buy firecrackers? Besides, it's so dangerous to keep them at home!
Even though Fan De Biao is useless now, the other three are all adults, but the most selfish adults. None of them are willing to rush in. Don't they know that Fan De Biao rushed in just now, but what was the result?
As a result, my foot was caught.
These brats deliberately created smoke so that they couldn't see clearly and stepped on the mousetrap.
They are smart people and will never be fooled.
There wasn't much left to do at this point, so several kids gathered together, each with a frown on their face.
Tuan Tuan gestured a few times, and the other children didn't say anything, but nodded seriously.
They made such a big noise but no one came to see what was going on. It was obvious that there was no one in the surrounding courtyards, so they could not rely on others and could only rely on themselves temporarily. As long as they held on, it would be over around twelve o'clock and the adults would be able to come back.
Now…it's almost eleven o'clock now, just hold on for another hour!
Everyone bit their lips. Tuantuan gestured again, first pointing at Yuanyuan, then at himself, and then pointing at people one by one, making a gesture of encouragement, and everyone immediately became determined.
Yes, they are all very capable! They must be brave! Tuantuan pointed at the roof, then pointed outside, and nodded seriously with a stern face.
Tuantuan went back to the door to attract attention. At this time, Yuanyuan peeked out of the window. No one noticed her. She took out a small rake and climbed directly to the roof by holding on to the wall. As soon as she went up, she threw the rope down, and even the small rake came down. Tuantuan took the two kilograms, found a kitchen knife and a hammer and took them with them, and then she quickly climbed up to the roof.
To be honest, if the food team had been more careful or had cooperated better, they would have discovered it, but now Fan Debiao had moved to the corner. He couldn't see the situation here at all. He screamed and tried to pry open the mousetrap on his foot, but it was difficult.
The other three dodged left and right at the door, and no one rushed forward, for fear of stepping on the mousetrap.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan climbed up to the roof and quickly let the rope down. With the help of the small rake and Tuantuan and Yuanyuan pulling hard, Li Zhenzhen also climbed up to the roof, and then Bai Qingqing, and all of them came up.
Tuantuan then left the kitchen knife and hammer behind and went straight down. He came to the door and replaced Xiao Qijin. Li Zhenzhen was strong, and the three girls dragged Xiao Qijin up. Seeing that all the friends had escaped, Tuantuan took a deep breath. The firecrackers were limited, and they had no more firecrackers.
He hardened his heart and quickly poured the oil on the ground at the door. Then he rushed to the window and climbed up.
"Fuck!"
At this time, Xiao Cai finally saw it and shouted, "This little bastard is trying to run away."
"Catch him!"
All three of them rushed over, but Tuantuan quickly climbed onto the roof, and they couldn't even catch his tail.
If it was Qi Jin or any other child, they would have been caught. However, Tuan Tuan was originally a martial artist. He was not as lively as his sister, but that didn't mean he couldn't do it. At this time, all five children went upstairs. The snow was still falling. Yuan Yuan immediately rushed up to hug her brother and said, "Brother!"
Tuantuan patted his sister's head and said, "Victory Day!"
Several children nodded immediately, and the five little guys hugged each other and said, "Come on!"
Their behavior really made the people below very angry. They couldn't even deal with a child. How could they not be angry?
"You damned little bastards..."
"You deserve to die. If you bad guys are not dead, we will be fine!"
Tuantuan is really not polite at all.
He picked up the small hammer he had prepared in advance and knocked directly on the icicles on the eaves.
Lao Cai: "You little bastards, get down here. Get down here!"
Xiao Qijin refused to give in: "Come on up here, you old bastard!"
At this time, the children were no longer so scared. Just now, they were trapped, but now it was different. They were on the roof and they had the initiative! Although the weather was cold, the children's hearts were very warm.
"You wicked people..."
While Old Cai was jumping up and down and cursing, Tuan Tuan had already broken the icicle. The icicle fell down with a thud. Old Cai howled and dodged, and the icicle hit Jiang Baohong with a bang. The icicle didn't hit them, but... he and Jiang Baohong collided with each other and fell on their butts together.
Yuanyuan: "Make snowballs and hit them!"
"Yes, beat them."
Several children on the roof quickly began to fight back.
"OMG!"
“These naughty kids…”
Lao Cai: "Fuck it, get up quickly."
Jiang Baohong rubbed his waist and said, "I, I, I... I sprained my waist."
She is not young anymore, and there is no good in such a fall.
Lao Cai: "You are useless. You can't do anything."
"Don't fight among yourselves at this time!"
"ah!"
"What's wrong with you?"
Old Cai's feet slipped and he fell again with a thud.
Old Cai cursed: "I hate snowy days the most!"
A bunch of kids stood on the roof, with their hands on their hips, laughing at the people below: "The old turtle is upside down!"
