I saw Zhao Tianliang holding something and talking to Aunt Qi and Ge Jun's father.
The two people opposite were pale, and it was obvious that something was wrong.
However, when the people in Gejiazhuang saw the police coming out, they all fell silent.
Zhao Tianliang and Zhang Li just came out and were about to grab their things and leave.
Village Chief Ge did come, but no one knew who tipped him off.
"Comrades, could you please tell us what happened?" asked Village Chief Ge. "I am the village chief here, and it is my responsibility to understand what happened."
Zhao Tianliang and Zhang Li exchanged a glance. "Well, Village Chief Ge, this Ge Jun was caught stealing from the steel mill. We're here to collect the proceeds."
Everyone around heard everything and was shocked.
How could someone who gets a salary in the city do such a bad thing?
"Why are you still stealing things?" Village chief Ge was also a little confused. The factory still paid wages, and they had no idea how much better it was than farming.
"He colluded with people in the black market and took the coal and iron and sold them," Zhao Tianliang replied, holding up the box in his hand. "This is all evidence and stolen goods. We can't wrongly accuse him."
"That's right. How many years should Ge Jun be sentenced to?" Village Chief Ge could only nod in agreement.
"They were originally sentenced to death, but now the stolen money can be recovered. I guess it will still take decades," said Zhao Tianliang.
Decades? Zhou Yian was also a little surprised. That was really great.
I didn't expect Ge Jun to be so bold. He has the money, but why is he afraid of not being able to get married and wants to cause trouble for her?
But they didn't think about it. Once people in the city asked around, they would know about this mother-in-law who was so cruel to her daughter-in-law and this sickly baby. Who would be willing to come if they were good? And Ge Jun and the others would look down on the bad ones.
That's when I came up with the idea of bullying the educated youth.
Originally, Zhao Tianliang and Zhang Li had finished their work and were about to leave, but when they saw Zhou Yian in the crowd, they came forward to say hello.
"Comrade Zhou, you're here too." Zhang Li said with a smile, "Wu Mei, the girl you helped last time, even came to the police station to express her gratitude. She said thank you to us and thank you too."
"Really? Then her life will be better." Zhou Yian was a little surprised.
"Yes, after her evil mother-in-law returned to the countryside, their lives seemed to be much better, and they both looked healthy and strong."
"That's good." Zhou Yian nodded. "My home is also here. Do you want to go and rest for a while?"
"I just came over to say hello. I have some business to attend to, so I'll be leaving first." Zhang Li had no choice but to refuse because of her work. She still liked Zhou Yian very much. "I'll come to your house when I'm free."
"OK."
The police rode away on their bicycles.
Leaving behind a group of shocked villagers.
They are really undermining socialism. Such people are so despicable.
Village chief Ge also had a worried look on his face. He had finally won the title of advanced brigade this year and could use tractors next year, but he didn't expect this incident to happen.
He had no choice but to go into the house and talk to Aunt Qi and Ge Jun's father about what was going on. "Everyone, go away. What are you doing gathered here?"
Zhou Yian and the others had no choice but to disperse.
When he got home, he excitedly told Song Songbai that not only had he delivered something today, but he also learned that Ge Jun would be sentenced to several decades in prison, and that Wu Mei and her daughter were living well.
Wouldn’t that be fun?
Song Songbai was also happy. Zhou Yian was easy to talk to when he was happy.
——
In a blink of an eye, it is almost the 23rd. According to the rules, we should make sugar-coated melons on this day to worship the Kitchen God, so that the Kitchen God cannot go to heaven to complain to the Jade Emperor.
Ever since Zhou Yian traveled through time, he has become more terrified of ghosts and gods. After thinking about it, he decided to do it. Maybe after making the sugar melon dip, it will really block the Kitchen God's mouth and prevent him from complaining to the Jade Emperor. Then the business will really be prosperous next year?
She had found out how to make the sugar melon dip two days in advance, bought the materials, and prepared to DIY it herself.
It is not difficult to say. To make sugar melon dip, you need to boil the millet starch, also known as malt sugar, until it becomes thick, but after boiling, the sugar needs to be extracted manually.
This step is difficult. Song Songbai is strong, but Zhou Yian is weak.
It seemed that she was out of breath after pulling out the sugar, and the shaping was finally completed.
Then quickly cut the sugar tube with thread at low temperature, and finally wrap the sugar melon with sesame seeds.
They were so crunchy and crispy that Zhou Yian was so happy that he ate several of them in one go.
On the 23rd, the Kitchen God is sent to heaven, and on the 24th, general cleaning begins.
Fortunately, the house they chose was not big, and it had been cleaned when they moved in, so today was still easy.
On the 25th, make tofu; on the 26th, fry meatballs; on the 27th, kill chickens and ducks; on the 28th, make dough; on the 29th, make steamed buns and dumplings; on the 30th, stay up all night in New Year's Eve; and on the first day of the New Year, perform yangge.
Zhou Yian tried his best to finish what he could in the past few days. Sometimes he was so busy that he didn't even go fishing. Now every household does this, and it feels like the New Year. Unlike later, when everyone just did it for the sake of doing it.
If there were no chickens or ducks, we would go to other people's homes and buy a few. Anyway, we could raise them when spring came, so everyone was willing to sell them.
The Chinese New Year is really great, but it’s a pity that we can’t receive New Year’s money anymore.
Zhou Yian felt a little regretful that she had accepted all the money from Song Songbai, otherwise it would have been interesting to ask him to give her a New Year's gift. Now she could only give Song Songbai a New Year's gift.
She didn't want it, but he insisted on having it. If she didn't give it to him, he would bully her and covet her.
She had no choice but to give it.
Time passed so quickly.
The matter of Ge Jun being arrested was finally settled, even though Aunt Qi was looking for someone every day to get her Ge Jun out.
But it is not easy to catch the criminal red-handed, so it is useless to look for him.
He has been sentenced to 37 years in prison and is required to undergo labor reform.
It's true, people die for money and birds die for food. They are already getting paid, but they still steal coal and steel from the factory.
The letter I wrote to Zhou's father also received a reply. He sent me a remittance slip for 500 yuan. The letter didn't say much, just asking me to live a good life.
He was very generous. Zhou Yian took the money and thought happily, who would complain about having too much money?
So she turned around and sent some hazelnut mushrooms, sugar melons, and the fish she caught herself to Zhou's father. They were all things she made herself. The gift may be small, but the thought is great. I believe Zhou's father will be happy too.
Happy times are always so short, and Zhou Yian and Song Songbai’s winter life is about to end.
Zhou Yian felt very sorry. Winter was really comfortable and she had gained a lot of weight. It was a pity that spring was coming.
Song Songbai was also unhappy. The beginning of spring meant that the time he and his wife spent together would be shorter.
But no matter how many people don't want spring to come, no matter how many people want spring to come, spring will eventually come.
The storm that Zhou Yian is worried about is about to come!
