When Li Dongliang heard that he was asked to steal, he was immediately overjoyed.
Although he was young, he knew very well that his family had no money, and waiting for his mother to buy it for him was impossible. If he could get it by stealing, he wouldn't have to spend a penny, which would be great.
The key point is, his mother took him to steal, so his mother definitely wouldn't beat him.
Huang Xiuxiu brought her youngest son to the front yard. Everyone was at work at the moment, so there were almost no people at home. Even if there were people, there were only a few elderly ladies.
She walked around the yard carefully, then looked outside the gate. Seeing that no one was coming, she lowered her voice and said to Dongliang, "See that window? You should be quick and climb in through the window. Don't mess up the things. Get out quickly after you get the things. Did you remember?"
Li Dongliang nodded: "I remember it."
"Okay, then you go quickly. I'll keep watch for you at the gate!" said Huang Xiuxiu.
Li Dongliang was young and agile, and he climbed onto the windowsill of Ye Li's house in no time.
The houses where the Jiang family lives are located in the main part of the courtyard, facing north and south.
...
...
There were five rooms in total. Zhao Xingmei and Jiang Jingshan occupied one, and Jiang Xi and Jiang Xun shared one. Because the brothers got married, a wall was built in the middle of the room with a layer of bricks, turning it from one room into two rooms.
Among the other three rooms, one was used as a kitchen, and another was reserved for Jiang Sui, the only daughter of the Jiang family.
Jiang Suiren got married, but the room remained the same.
Now that my three sons are getting married and will have children in the future, this house can be renovated and let the children live in it.
It is precisely because the Jiang family occupies this position, which is right in front of the main entrance.
Although there is a screen wall blocking the door, once people come in and turn the corner they can see what's going on in the Jiang family.
Therefore, Huang Xiuxiu had to stand guard at the gate to avoid being caught in the act by someone coming.
Li Dongliang is not very old, but he is very good at opening windows.
There is a small corner broken at the bottom of Jiang Xun's window. This small corner does not affect the use for the time being. It would be a bit not worthwhile to replace a piece of glass because of this small corner.
So, the glass has been broken.
Li Dongliang was young and thin, with hands that were like chicken claws, and they happened to fit into this small corner.
He pulled out the window bolt from the inside, opened the window from the outside, looked around, and then jumped into the room by stepping on the table.
Huang Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her son go in.
However, when he saw that his son had been in there for a long time and had not come out, his heart rose to his throat again.
She didn't dare to go closer to take a look, nor did she dare to make any sound. She could only hold her breath and wait patiently.
As soon as Li Dongliang entered the room, he went straight to Ye Li's cabinet.
He remembered that his mother liked to hide valuables in a big closet, and the big closet was the only place in the house where she could hide them.
Li Dongliang found the right place, but unfortunately the wardrobe was locked very tightly. If he wanted to open the wardrobe, he could only use something to break it open.
If you smash the wardrobe, it will make a lot of noise.
Huang Xiuxiu had warned him not to make any big noise, as it would be troublesome if he was caught.
Li Dongliang was unwilling to come here in vain.
Since he couldn't open the cabinet, why didn't he go and see if there were any valuables hidden somewhere else?
He searched the house for a long time, and found everything that Ye Li had in his house, including a washbasin, a thermos, and soap.
Apart from that, there are the books on Jiang Xun’s desk.
Li Dongliang didn't even go to school, let alone read. He flipped through a few books and felt that there was nothing in them, just a bunch of densely packed incomprehensible words and many incomprehensible pictures.
Just when he was feeling discouraged, he accidentally pulled open a drawer of the desk.
The other two drawers were locked and could not be opened, but this one could be opened. When he saw what was in the drawer, he was overjoyed.
There was actually a milk powder can in the drawer. He carefully took out the can, opened the lid and saw half a can of white milk powder inside. He was so excited that he almost laughed out loud.
"Found it! Finally found it!" He said to himself excitedly, holding the bucket of milk powder, he went up to the table, then climbed out through the window.
The Jiang family lived in the east wing of the courtyard. Looking out from her room, she could just see the window of Jiang Xun's house.
She slept for half the afternoon, and when she saw that it was time for her son to get off work, she got up and prepared to cook for him.
The washbasin in her house was placed under this window. When she was about to wash her hair, she looked up and saw Li Dongliang coming out of Jiang Xun's room.
"What is this little bastard trying to do?"
Aunt Liang muttered to herself, thinking of opening the window and shouting to scare the little bastard.
Huang Xiuxiu came forward and took a jar from Li Dongliang's hand. She immediately understood that someone had gone to Ye Li's house to steal things!
"You little widow with two thieving sons are actually stealing things in this big yard!" She had to go and take care of it.
Aunt Jiang didn't even have time to wash her hands, and she pushed the door open to catch the culprit in the act.
As she reached the door, she paused and thought: I'm not going there, I'll just let that little bastard steal things from your house!
Who told you to treat me badly on a daily basis?
So Aunt Jiang turned back and continued to wash her hands.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Wipe off your footprints and close the window before coming down." Huang Xiuxiu reminded her son.
Li Dongliang obediently wiped off all the footprints, closed the window, reached in to insert the bolt, and then followed Huang Xiuxiu back into the house.
Not long after the mother and son returned, the compound became lively. People who had gone to work came back, some were cooking, and some were chatting in the yard.
Huang Xiuxiu didn't dare to give milk powder to her two children at this time, for fear that someone would find out.
"Be patient, when it's late at night and everyone is asleep, mom will make you some milk powder! You can drink as much as you want!"
I've endured it for so long, so I can endure it for a while tonight.
The two children agreed readily.
Thinking that she could make milk powder for the two children in the evening, Huang Xiuxiu simply cooked some rice and mung bean soup. She didn't even heat up the cornmeal pancakes and served them directly to the children.
"Mom, I don't want to eat this." Li Chengcai covered his injured head and sat listlessly at the table.
"If you don't want to eat, eat less. Then boil it for a while and you can mix it with milk powder."
"oh."
The family of three was having dinner when they heard the voices of Aunt Liang and Ye Li talking in the yard.
"Hey, Xiaoye, are you going to make bone soup?"
Ye Li smiled and said, "Yes, did you stew the bones that Aunt Liang made yesterday? How did it taste?"
"It tastes delicious! This is quite good! Xiaoye, I have to thank you. I forgot to give you the money yesterday, so I came here specially to pay you back today."
"Aunt Liang, you don't have to be so anxious. Just pay it back whenever it's convenient for you."
"That won't do! I can't owe anyone anything. If I do, I have to pay it back right away! As the saying goes, if you borrow and pay back well, it won't be hard to borrow again!"
"Yes, you are right."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll go back and cook."
"Mom, that woman is going to stew bone soup again." Li Chengcai put down his bowl and licked his lips.
"We have milk powder and bone soup...it's not easy to get them back." Huang Xiuxiu said.
Li Chengcai sighed: "Okay."
After Huang Xiuxiu knew that Ye Li was stewing bone soup, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She thought it was great that Ye Li didn't find out today.
A few days later, when Ye Li found out, the milk powder had been finished. He threw the can away, leaving no evidence!
At this time, Ye Li stewed the bones in the pot and added some cornmeal. When the soup was almost ready, he put the pancake on the edge of the iron pot, and dinner was ready.
The waiting time was too long and it was hot in the kitchen, so Ye Li went back to the house to wait.
She saw that Jiang Xun was not reading, but staring at the table.
"What's wrong? What's on the table?" Ye Li asked.
"Come, come and see." Jiang Xun motioned Ye Li to bend down.
