Chapter 22



As soon as the carriage stopped at the door of the house, the calls of Dahei and Erhei were heard from inside.

The barking of "Woof woof woof" was extremely fierce.

It looked like he was scared to death by those thieves who came to steal.

"Daddy, it's Dahei and Erhei calling you." Little Tuanzi said as he opened the car curtain and stood out, waiting for his daddy to carry him down.

"Um."

Lu Changge carried the little girl down, followed by his wife.

"Erhei, do you miss me?" As soon as the little dumpling landed on the ground, he ran towards the door of his home, talking to himself.

"Erhei! You're back!" Little Tuanzi knocked on the door, trying to talk to Erhei behind it.

“Woof woof, woof, woof woof…” Dahei and Erhei, who were behind the door, were holding onto the door and calling out.

"Erhei, do you want to nest too?" Little Tuanzi said happily after hearing Erhei's response.

After parking the carriage aside and tying the reins, Lu Changge walked over and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Dahei and Erhei behind the door jumped out excitedly, but were scolded by Lu Changge.

"Stand still."

Frightened by their owner's eyes, Dahei and Erhei dared not to fiddle around anymore and walked obediently beside him.

But he did not forget to complain to his owner that a thief had broken into the house.

“Woof woof…woof woof…woof woof woof…”

Seeing that their owner ignored them, Dahei and Erhei got so anxious that they dug the ground with their claws.

Su Qingyun, who was standing by, noticed that something was wrong between them.

"What happened to Dahei and Erhei?" Su Qingyun asked curiously.

Seeing the second owner looking at it, Erhei cleverly ran towards the barn, looking back and shouting "Woof woof" to let them look over.

Their house is not big, and you can see all the rooms in the house by standing in the yard.

So, Su Qingyun looked over and saw at a glance that the door lock of their warehouse was broken.

The lock fell to the ground and the door opened a crack.

"Husband..." Su Qingyun subconsciously grabbed Lu Changge's arm and said in disbelief: "There's a thief in our house?!"

Their food was stolen.

Isn't it ruining your life to steal food from others at this time?

Su Qingyun was a little angry. When he thought that everything in the warehouse might have been stolen, he felt so angry that his chest hurt.

"It's okay, don't be angry." Lu Changge calmed him down and whispered: "Have you forgotten that there is only grain in it? The other things have been put away."

After the locust outbreak, Lu Changge stored the items in the warehouse into storage containers, leaving only the unhusked millet that had just been harvested this year.

"But... there are a lot of millets." Su Qingyun felt a little guilty. "If I had known, I wouldn't have followed them. They wouldn't have dared to steal when there were people at home."

"What are you talking about? Is food more important than you?" Lu Changge tapped his forehead lightly, signaling him to be careful with his words.

Lu Changge's overly straightforward words successfully brought Su Qingyun back to her senses from her self-blame.

"Go back to the house and rest. I'll make dinner."

It was already afternoon when they got back to town, and it was getting late now when they got home.

"I don't want to rest. I'll go see what else is missing from home." Su Qingyun shook his head, and the first place he checked was the warehouse.

There was no choice but for Lu Changge to follow in.

And little Tuanzi also ran in behind his father and mother.

Little Tuanzi had been to the warehouse before, and he only remembered that it was full of things.

There was a mountain of rice, and against the wall by the window there were two rows of jars filled with delicious food.

There are a lot of succulents hanging on the roof.

But now, there is nothing!

There are only one, two, three, four...sixteen bags of rice left!

"Daddy, don't bother Fanfan and Rourou!" the little dumpling said in shock.

His family had so much rice and meat, but now they’re all gone!

Seeing that there were only sixteen bags of millet left in the warehouse, Su Qingyun took a breath of cold air.

Su Qingyun knew that her husband had tidied the warehouse before and put some things into storage, but he didn't know how much he had put away.

I thought all the food in my house had been stolen and only sixteen bags were left.

"It's okay, it's okay, just five packs are missing." Lu Changge said quickly.

"real?"

"real."

[Originally, those people wanted to move the rest away, but they were bitten by Dahei and Erhei, so they didn’t dare to come back.] Da Teng suddenly added.

"Wow! Dahei and Erhei... are the most disgusting!" After hearing what Da Teng said, Little Tuanzi gave them two big thumbs up.

Dahei and Erhei seemed to know that their young master was praising them, and they raised their heads and puffed out their chests to express their pride.

Since her husband said that only five packs were missing, Su Qingyun naturally believed it.

Afterwards, Su Qingyun went to inspect other places, and Lu Changge accompanied him.

After checking every place in the house, they found that five bags of millet were missing from the barn and two chickens were missing from the chicken coop.

However, all the rice and flour in the kitchen were gone, except for two small pots of diced radish and a pot of spicy cabbage in the cupboard.

This is what made Su Qingyun most angry.

"The diced radishes are gone too... I feel bad." Su Qingyun pouted, feeling more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it.

Since she became pregnant, Su Qingyun's emotions have become more sensitive than usual, and she would remember even the smallest things for days.

Not to mention the big deal of having a thief at home.

Now, his favorite diced radishes are gone too!

The thought of this makes me feel even worse.

"Don't feel bad, don't feel bad. There are still a lot left. If it's not enough, I can do more." Lu Changge coaxed quickly.

"But...but those two pots that were stolen could still be eaten for a long time..." Su Qingyun was talking and he started crying out of grievance without realizing it.

Su Qingyun only realized what had happened after her tears were wiped away by her husband.

"I...I don't want to cry." Su Qingyun covered her face, but her tears couldn't stop.

Fortunately, Su Qingyun reacted quickly and realized that being emotional and crying were not good for the baby in her belly.

With Lu Changge coaxing him softly, his mood quickly stabilized.

It was the first time that little Tuanzi saw his grandfather cry. He was so frightened that he stood there in a daze and dared not say a word.

Only when his father stopped crying did he carefully step forward and hold his father.

"Don't cry, Mom. Have some candy." Little Dumpling handed the candy that he had saved for a long time to his Mom.

"Okay, don't cry, Mum, I'll leave the candy for you to eat."

As it got dark, Lu Changge took out the ingredients from the storage container and began to prepare dinner.

Su Qingyun still felt a little uncomfortable and didn't want to be alone, so she stayed in the kitchen to help.

Soon, dinner was ready.

It was too late, so I could only make a few simple dishes.

Stir-fried choy sum, scrambled eggs with green onions, and braised pork.

I ordered three bowls of noodles as the staple food, and also sliced ​​the three large steamed buns left over from the journey and fried them until both sides were golden brown.

It looks very appetizing.

Finally, there was the half bowl of diced radish that Su Qingyun couldn't forget.

After dinner, Er Teng in the kitchen also boiled hot water.

You need to digest your food for a while before taking a shower after eating.

Taking advantage of this time, Su Qingyun asked her husband to take out all the clothes they bought and sort them out.

As for food, it is safest to store it in a storage container.

Su Qingyun was tidying up things in the house, while Lu Changge went out to prepare bath water.

After the whole family took a bath, it was about half past eight.

Nightlife in ancient times was actually very boring.

Those who have wives can do intimate things with their wives, but singles can only go to bed early.

However, Lu Changge's wife is pregnant, and now his nightlife is almost like that of a single man.

After sitting in the carriage for two days, Su Qingyun was exhausted and her emotions were volatile today. As soon as she touched the bed, she fell asleep quickly.

Little Tuanzi had already fallen asleep with his legs spread out, one of his little feet kicking on his father's arm.

[Er Teng, you and Da Teng go out and bring back all the things that were lost in the house.]

[Good master! I promise to return the things doubled!]

After Er Teng finished speaking, he left with Da Teng.

After hearing that his house was robbed, Er Teng was also very angry.

In the apocalypse, it was always Er Teng who took other people's things. This was the first time someone dared to steal its things.

If he doesn't get it back at double the amount, Er Teng will not be able to swallow this humiliation.

Da Teng remembered every face of the several waves of people who came to their house to steal things.

I also found out where their home was in advance and was waiting for the owner to come back.

The first stop is the chicken thief’s house.

There were three hooligans who came together to steal the chicken.

Each family took home two chickens.

It was agreed to double the amount. Two were stolen and six were recovered.

Next, it was Lin Qingrou's home who stole food.

Five bags of rice, double it to ten bags.

I used up half of the bag and took back the remaining four bags.

The remaining money can be replaced with silver, one tael per bag, which is not excessive at all.

In the end, five bags of rice were stolen, and four bags and six taels of silver were recovered.

Finally, he stole the rice and noodles from the kitchen, as well as two pots of diced radish and kimchi, which were his wife's favorite.

This is a team crime.

The things have been used and Er Teng doesn't want to take them back.

So I searched through their warehouses and cellars, took out rice and flour, and replaced diced radishes and kimchi with other things.

The chicken here looks quite fat, I’ll take it!

Go out at nine in the evening and come back at twelve o'clock sharp.

Da Teng and Er Teng returned home with a lot of things in their hands. As soon as they entered the house, they saw their owner standing in the main room waiting for them.

[Master, we are back!]

The next morning, it was just getting light.

At this time, most people are up and preparing breakfast.

Suddenly, a series of curses and cries broke the quiet morning.

Lu Changge, who rarely stayed in bed, turned over without even opening his eyes, held his wife in his arms and continued to sleep.
