◎Third update◎
Is there a thief in the big yard?
Everyone checked the cabbages one by one and found that the family with the most missing cabbages was Luo Hongmei's, with six cabbages missing. The families of Sun Zhiqiang and Chen Yulian each had two cabbages missing, and the family of Xu Shengjie had three cabbages missing. All other families were fine.
Although not much was stolen, the nature of the stolen items was extremely bad!
Luo Hongmei stood in the large courtyard with her hands on her hips, cursing for nearly twenty minutes, her criticism directed at Wu Changlong's family who lived in the east wing.
"I wonder who stole the cabbage! He is so shameless!"
She stood at the door of the east chamber and cursed at everyone there. Everyone knew what she meant.
A few months ago, the two had an unpleasant argument over a watermelon.
Wu Changlong couldn't stand listening in the room anymore, so he rushed out and cursed back, "Luo Hongmei, what do you mean? Who are you calling a thief?"
"Whoever jumps the most now is the thief!"
Neither of them was easy to mess with, and they started swearing at each other in the yard. Several other uncles and aunts hurried to try to stop the fight, and the scene became chaotic for a while.
Liang Baozhen closed the window and looked at Xu Shengjie who was catching up on his sleep after finishing his night shift. Worried that he might be woken up, she pulled the curtains shut with a swipe, then looked at the man on the bed, who was sleeping soundly and was not disturbed at all.
What a pig!
Xu Shengjie has always been able to fall asleep as soon as he touches the pillow, and once he falls asleep it is not easy to wake up, unlike her.
Liang Baozhen looked at the handsome man even when he was sleeping and felt a little envious.
"Sister-in-law." Xu Shengya called softly from outside, pointing outside, not wanting to disturb her eldest brother from sleeping.
"What's the matter?"
"Master Wei said he wanted to hold a meeting."
Another meeting? Liang Baozhen felt a little uncomfortable.
Not only her, no one in the hospital wants to hold the meeting. It's okay in the summer, but it's almost winter now. Who can stand listening to his nonsense in the wind?
Wei Jinrong took the thieves in the compound very seriously. Everyone hated thieves and they had to catch them. He first took a few men in the compound to check everywhere, but unfortunately they found nothing. The only thing they were sure of was that there weren't many cabbages missing, so it was probably not a complete theft.
Otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
At the meeting, everyone sat together and listened to Wei Jinrong analyzing the harm caused by thieves. As he was talking, he went off topic and began to talk about his heroic deeds of catching thieves when he was young.
The people below were not idle either. Liang Baozhen, who was attending the meeting for the second time, had some experience, so she placed the stools in the outermost circle so that they could talk quietly without attracting attention.
"Sister Hua, how is your work going?" Liang Baozhen asked Liu Nianhua a few days ago how she felt about being a ticket seller, but she seemed too busy to talk much.
Liu Nianhua recalled being squeezed on the bus and felt a little embarrassed. "It's OK. I'm still getting used to it."
Yesterday, Liu Nianhua was just criticized by the captain. She has been good-tempered all her life and speaks softly. She usually gets along well with everyone in the courtyard, but she couldn't keep her composure on the bus.
The buses are basically packed with people. Men, women, old and young are trying their best to squeeze on the bus, almost sticking to the door. Many people are squeezed to the point of suffocation. In the past, it was a test of the ability of the ticket sellers to collect money and tear up tickets at this time.
Liu Nianhua had just arrived and his voice was still soft, so he didn't dare to be rude to the passengers, but he couldn't calm the situation down.
"Nianhua, you have to study hard. How can you take money and then kill people like this? You will never be able to get a regular job if you keep doing this." The captain's words made Liu Nianhua lower his head and just say yes repeatedly.
During this morning's shift, she looked at the bus full of people and started shouting with all her might. Her voice couldn't drown out the noise in the bus so she shouted even louder, and people also tried their best to squeeze in. It was only right that she get paid from every passenger.
"Then you're doing pretty well!" Liang Baozhen thought Liu Nianhua had adapted well. "You just have to ask everyone one by one. You should learn from Aunt Luo, whose voice is so loud that it can be heard in the next yard."
Liu Nianhua chuckled, just as Luo Hongmei was making another noise, her voice was really loud, "I'll try my best to learn, but I've also seen that working outside this time is not easy, but I can learn a lot. This is the first time I have work clothes. Today, our bus company also gave everyone a piece of peach cake, saying it is an employee benefit."
Employee benefits sound like a sense of belonging. Liu Nianhua divided a piece of peach cake into three portions and ate it with her two children. She thought it was the best peach cake she had ever eaten, and it was distributed by her unit.
"Then your benefits are pretty good." Liang Baozhen brought out her most affirmative theory again, "You will be happier when you get your salary. Really, there is nothing more joyful than getting your salary."
.....
When Xu Shengjie woke up from his sleep, the room was quiet except for some talking and noise outside.
I went out to wash my face with cold water, and saw that everyone in the yard was sitting on stools in a circle, listening to Master Wei holding a meeting.
When he got closer, he heard Master Wei was talking excitedly, with saliva flying everywhere.
"We must handle this matter seriously and make sure to arrest the criminals! Everyone should think carefully about what else is unusual after returning home. Comrade Xiao Liang has provided important information. Something hit her window last night. It is very likely that the thief..."
"Did a thief come to our door last night?" Xu Shengjie walked outside the crowd. After hearing this, he grabbed Liang Baozhen's arm and led the man out. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"You just got back from the night shift, it's important to get some sleep first." Liang Baozhen told him the noise she heard last night and pointed to her bedroom window. "It felt like something hit me, a thud."
Xu Shengjie reached out and touched the glass, then looked under the window. There was only a little bit of black ash, and nothing else.
I picked up the black ash with my fingers and put it to the tip of my nose to smell it. There was no strange smell. Xu Shengjie put this little black ash into a wooden box and kept it for a look.
However, there was a thief in the yard, so he had to be careful. He immediately checked the door lock, wooden bolts and window bolts at home again.
Fortunately, my night shift this month is over, and I can be at home starting tonight.
After all the hassles, the meeting was not over yet. Liang Baozhen and Xu Shengjie looked at each other and asked, "Should we go back?"
Xu Shengjie listened to what Master Wei was saying from a distance, "Let me say three more points. First..."
Good man, I said the same thing ten minutes ago, exactly the same, three o'clock after three o'clock.
"Not going back." Xu Shengjie pulled people into the house, too lazy to listen to Master Wei's nagging.
After returning to the house, Xu Shengjie took something out of the clothes he had changed in the afternoon. Liang Baozhen was still looking towards the window, trying to find out something. When she turned around, she saw Xu Shengjie taking out a large handful of groupers.
"Where did you get so much money?" Liang Baozhen understood as soon as the question came out of her mouth. She looked frank and lenient, resisting the strict attitude, "Did you go to the black market again?"
Xu Shengjie spread out the big balls on the table, forming a dense pile, probably about a hundred in number.
"I really didn't mean it." Xu Shengjie, who handed over the money, felt a little wronged.
After getting married, Xu Shengjie stopped going to the black market because it was dangerous. If something went wrong, his family could not afford the risk. But his brother Zheng Chengcai, who helped him sell things last time, knew that he could assemble radios and asked him to help. He just said that his family needed them. Xu Shengjie helped to assemble a few radios. As a result, the man asked for more and more. Xu Shengjie realized that he was not taking them to his family, but to sell them on the black market.
But the man was not an ungrateful person. He immediately shared the reward with him. Each assembled radio was sold for 80 yuan without a ticket. Xu Shengjie assembled four radios in total and sold them for 320 yuan, of which he kept 150 yuan.
Liang Baozhen knew that one could make money in the black market, as many people had made their fortunes there. But she thought that reform and opening up would soon be approaching, and she would be able to do business openly then. Why should she take the risk to make money now?
"What kind of friend is this? Don't make friends with him anymore."
"That man is my comrade-in-arms. Something happened at home. He is not very well-off and needs money urgently. However, the seller of this radio is not him. He said he cooperated with other people in the black market." Xu Shengjie knew his wife's concerns and he was not willing to take risks. "I got on the 'pirate ship' by mistake. Don't worry, I will definitely not go to the black market."
Liang Baozhen put the money away. She had 400 yuan at home recently, so she had to take it to the bank and put it in her passbook for safety. "Remember, if you really want to do business, we can wait a little longer. Maybe we can do business openly soon."
On Sundays, people in Damei Village also rested. However, it is winter now and there is not much work to do in the fields. The commune organized its members to dig canals for half a month, and they have been idle again recently.
Liang Baozhen asked someone in the village to pass on a message in advance. Song Chunhua knew that her daughter would be coming back today. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep well all night.
Liang Baojun bought two pounds of pork ribs and two pounds of pork yesterday. Today he plans to make some corn and pork rib soup and some boiled pork slices.
The second son said that he had found a job in the town and could buy some good things every now and then, even meat coupons. Song Chunhua always suspected that the child had taken the wrong path, and repeatedly reminded him to be careful and not to be careless in anything.
Liang Zhigao, on the other hand, looked relieved, thinking that his son should just go out and have some fun, as long as nothing serious happened.
Liang Baojun has been in high spirits recently. He bought some good things for his family, even several feet of cloth. Baozhen had previously established a relationship with the winery in the town, and Liang Baojun went to discuss cooperation. He dug up some diamond thorns and supplied them to the company. He purchased them at the market price and made another fortune.
However, he did not make money by digging up diamond thorns and selling them on the black market. Especially recently, he sold four radios and made fifty dollars!
Just when he was getting ready to do a big job, Zheng Chengcai, who was working with him on this project, suddenly informed him that the person who assembled the radio had quit, which made him very angry.
He even said that he was married and had a wife, and didn't want to do such a dangerous thing. Liang Baojun shook his head and disagreed. What's so great about having a wife? Is your wife a fairy who has fascinated you?
If you don't make money, you are a fool!
The author has something to say:
Xu Shengjie: Who is scolding me?
Liang Baozhen: Who is praising me?
Liang Baojun: "..."
