The next day, Meng Qidi went to work early in the morning. Meng Yuzhen took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her at home and sneaked into her room.
But there was nothing in Meng Qidi's room except a worn-out quilt and two pillows. In the dark closet, there was nothing except two worn-out clothes...
Meng Yuzhen shook the clothes again and again, but nothing came out.
Not finding anything in Meng Qidi's room, she went out unwillingly. As soon as she closed the door and turned around, she saw Sun Fang eating pumpkin seeds.
Meng Yuzhen pursed her lips and walked out.
Sun Fang's voice sounded behind her, "Yuzhen, do you think I will tell Xiaoqi that you went into her room?"
Meng Yuzhen paused, turned around and looked at her, her face gloomy, "Aunt, this is our fourth room's business, it seems to have nothing to do with you, right?"
"It's hard to say." Sun Fang walked over while eating pumpkin seeds, relying on her big belly.
"After all, we are all members of the Nie family. This family member stole things from one family member. Oh, my aunt is illiterate and has poor cultural background. Isn't this what they call a thief in the family is hard to guard against?"
Meng Yuzhen's face flushed. "Aunt, what nonsense are you talking about! I didn't steal anything!"
"Tsk, do you think I believe it? Or do Xiaoqi and your dad believe it? Oh, I just love to stand up for the weak. If Xiaoqi knew about this, he would probably...ah..."
Sun Fang screamed...
At the reservoir, Meng Qidi dragged a few baskets of mud and helped to pack the mud. When no one was paying attention, she put all the clam shells and loaches she found in the water into the space.
Although it is not easy to take out the things in the space to make money, she can put these things into the space and take them out and make them into dry goods to sell when she goes to the Ling family in the future.
They were busy until the sun went down, and then Meng Qidi went off work with Liu Xuemei. They talked and laughed until they parted at the village entrance.
When she returned home, the usually bustling yard was quiet. Meng Qidi felt a little suspicious and went back to her room to change her clothes before coming out.
Her house was ransacked. Glancing at a pool of blood in the yard, Meng Qidi went out with some confusion.
"Xiaoqi, are you at home?"
Meng Qidi looked over when she heard the voice. It was her neighbor next door. "Grandma."
"Your grandma asked you to come back and cook. She went to the town clinic with your uncle and your father."
Health center?
Meng Qidi frowned, thinking of the pool of blood in the yard. Did something happen to Sun Fang?
The mother-in-law next door handed her the key and couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, what a sin! I don't know how your aunt fell. When I came back, I saw her crying on the ground. It was so pitiful. There was no one at home..."
"Thank you, grandma."
Meng Qidi took the key and was confused after hearing what she heard. It took her a long time to figure out that Sun Fang's child was gone?
"Neighbors, what's there to thank? Go and cook."
After talking to the neighbor for a few words, Meng Qidi went to the kitchen. Several families had separated, so they took turns using the stove when cooking.
Zhao Hong was at home, so it was not her turn in the fourth room. I guess the old lady was afraid that her husband would be hungry when he came home from work.
I took the key and got some rice and sweet potatoes from the old couple's room. The old couple ate their rations slowly and basically didn't touch anything.
Meng Qidi didn't take much and locked the door directly.
She had returned early and there was no one at the Meng family, so she simply got out some loaches, cleaned them, and put them directly in the pot to dry slowly.
For fear that someone would come back suddenly, she basically washed and dried the fish and loaches at the same time. After all the fish and loaches in the space were dried and carefully packed in plastic bags, she would start cooking.
Prepare the rice and water, and put them on a small stove nearby to cook. When the charcoal fire burns out, the porridge is almost cooked.
She didn't plan to cook. Eating some vegetables was a luxury these days. If she wasn't Meng Daqiang, the old lady wouldn't say anything.
However, I got out some loaches and crushed them lightly. Then, when the porridge was boiling on the stove, I gently added the crushed loaches into the porridge.
For fear of fishy smell, she added some spices before mincing the fish.
Add the chopped fish mackerel and stir gently a few times, and the bubbling porridge will give off a faint fragrance.
Meng Qidi turned a blind eye and was not greedy at all.
When the porridge was almost ready, he picked up the pot, turned off the stove, and then held the pot with a cloth, intending to take it to the old lady's room, thinking that it would not be cold by the time they came back.
"Xiao Qi? What are you holding?"
When Zhao Hong came back from work, she saw Meng Qidi sneaking around with something and preparing to go to the main room, and the yard was filled with fragrance.
Her face changed and she shouted directly, "What did you cook secretly again? There is only a little food at home, how dare you cook in private."
Meng Qidi carried the pot straight into the main room. The pot was hot, and she was stupid enough to just stand there and let people say something.
"Meng Qidi! I'm talking to you, are you deaf?!"
Zhao Hong's voice was sharp in the yard.
Meng Qidi's cold voice came out, "Comrade Zhao Hong, there is one thing you must not forget. You have basically locked up all the things you got from the split of the family. Do you think these are your things?"
Zhao Hong was stunned, and then she remembered that the key to her locker was still in her pocket.
Meng Qidi brought the porridge into the old lady's room before locking the door and coming out.
She glanced at Zhao Hong in the yard and walked out. Meng Daqiang was not at home, and Zhao Hong probably wouldn't leave any food for her.
Seeing that she ignored her, Zhao Hong yelled angrily, "Meng Qidi! Stop, I'm asking you a question, cook what you brought!"
Zhao Hong ignored the yelling and met old man Meng at the door. Meng Qidi handed over the key and said, "Grandpa, the porridge is in your room. I didn't steam the sweet potatoes."
"Why are you cooking? Where's your grandma?" Old Man Meng took the key and asked suspiciously.
