Gu Rong was much calmer. He squeezed Pei Tiantian's little hand soothingly and took her back to the classroom.
Then he took out a notebook and wrote: "I already know who the thief is."
"Who? How did you know?" Pei Tiantian's grape eyes opened wide.
Hasn’t the villain been with her all along? How did he know that?
Gu Rong lowered his eyes.
He already had a guess in his mind.
There used to be two twin brothers, Lei Gan and Lei Kun, sitting at the table in front of him.
They often stole other people's rice bowls, and Gu Rong caught them several times.
Gu Rong had a good memory and he clearly remembered the general features of the enamel cups that Lei Gan and Lei Kun placed on the table.
The marks left on the handles of the two enamel cups left on the stove were obviously exactly the same as those of the twin brothers' enamel cups.
"The two people who stole our food are called Lei Gan and Lei Kun. They should be in Class 1, Grade 3 now."
Gu Rong wrote.
Pei Tiantian looked at the words and said, "Brother Gu Rong, do you know those two people? Aren't they your former classmates?"
Gu Rong nodded.
Pei Tiantian understood, so she dragged Gu Rong along to angrily go and settle the score with the two people.
Unexpectedly, after waiting at the door of Class 1, Grade 3 for a long time, I didn’t see anyone who looked like twins show up.
However, Gu Rong's classmates from his original class recognized him and had complicated expressions on their faces.
They all thought that Gu Rong would never come back after dropping out of school, but they didn't expect that he not only returned to school, but even skipped to the fifth grade.
Pei Tiantian asked many classmates in the class where Lei Kun and Lei Gan were.
They all said they didn’t know.
It was almost time for afternoon class when Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong finally caught up with the two twins.
After Lei Gan and Lei Kun found a place to eat outside, they were afraid that Gu Rong, who had stolen their meal, would find them, so they wanted to wait until class started before sneaking back.
Unexpectedly, I met Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong as soon as I came back.
The two men started to run.
Gu Rong walked quickly forward, pulled off the canvas bag on Lei Gan's body and threw it on the ground.
All the enamel cups inside rolled out, making a "ping pong pong" sound.
Lei Gan and Lei Kun's faces turned pale instantly.
"Why do Lei Gan and his men have four enamelware cups?"
"No wonder Gu Rong suddenly found this place. Could he have stolen it?"
Pei Tiantian picked up the two enamel cups of hers and Gu Rong, and after opening them, they were indeed empty, having been eaten clean.
She questioned Lei Gan and Lei Kun, "Why is the enamel cup with our names engraved on it in your bag? Are you two the ones who stole our food?"
"We didn't steal it, we found it."
Lei Kun said this with his neck stiffened, his eyes flickering guiltily.
Lei Gan's mind worked quickly, and he immediately agreed: "That's right, your meal was stolen and the rice bowl was thrown on the roadside. We kindly picked it up and were about to return it to you, but you came to accuse us instead!"
What a good way of putting the blame on someone else.
Pei Tiantian's mouth twitched.
She didn't expect that these two brothers would be so shameless after being caught red-handed.
There was a hint of sarcasm in Gu Rong's eyes. He had expected that these two people would refuse to admit it.
At this time, Hu Weiguo, the head teacher of Grade 3 Class 1, also came and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
Pei Tiantian immediately took two enamel cups and complained: "The two of them stole my and Brother Gu Rong's meals and refused to admit it."
"We didn't, we just picked up their enamelware cups, we didn't steal their food."
Lei Kun said quickly.
Hu Weiguo's gaze rested on the enamel cup in Pei Tiantian's hand, on which was a name engraved.
Then he turned his head and glanced at the two brothers of the Lei family. Both of them felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Hu Weiguo's heart moved, and he said, "Lei Gan and Lei Kun, you still don't admit your mistakes? The teacher also saw it at noon today. You used these two enamel cups to eat."
Lei Gan and Lei Kun were shocked and their expressions changed again and again.
They didn't expect that Hu Weiguo actually saw it with his own eyes.
The two men, like two defeated roosters, admitted to the stealing act listlessly, saying that they took Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian's food because they wanted to eat better.
Hu Weiguo's face darkened for a moment.
In fact, he didn't even see the enamel cups that Lei Gan and Lei Kun used to eat.
He just tricked them, but he didn't expect it to be revealed like this.
Hu Weiguo immediately asked Lei Gan and Lei Kun to apologize to Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian, and then severely criticized this behavior in front of everyone in Class 1, Grade 3.
The classmates looked at Lei Gan and Lei Kun with contempt.
Lei Gan and Lei Kun sat in the classroom with gloomy faces, not daring to look up the whole day.
Pei Tiantian was quite satisfied with this result.
However, this also made her realize that it was not very convenient to bring rice to school and steam it.
If they encounter this kind of thing again next time, it won’t be so easy for them to find the thief.
So after school in the afternoon, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong went to Xie Jiagui's restaurant.
Xie Jiagui’s restaurant is only two blocks away from the primary school, very close.
Pei Tiantian discussed with Xie Jiagui that they would have lunch at his place every day from now on.
Zhou Wanhong and Xie Jiagui learned that Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong's meal had been stolen on the first day, and they immediately felt sorry for the two kids.
Xie Jiagui went to the pot on the stove in the back kitchen and took out a large braised chicken leg for each of them and asked them to eat it.
Pei Tiantian grabbed the braised chicken leg with her two little hands and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
The braised chicken legs are soft but not dry, the meat is tender and the juice will ooze out when you take a bite.
Pei Tiantian was eating so happily that her two short legs kept shaking.
After eating, the little face was covered with brine and it looked like a little cat.
Zhou Wanhong took a clean handkerchief and wiped her little face and little hands clean.
Xie Jiagui looked at Pei Tiantian with a smile.
He heard from Zhou Wanhong today that Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong are already studying in the school, and have skipped grades to attend the fifth grade.
He was shocked for a long time at first, but he soon figured it out.
It’s no surprise that Tiantian is so smart. After all, which five-year-old child can cure people?
Pei Tiantian also discussed with Xie Jiagui and gave him 50 yuan per month for food expenses.
However, Xie Jiagui shook his head and refused to accept it.
In his opinion, Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian are just two children, and children can't eat much.
Seeing that Xie Jiagui still refused to give the money, Pei Tiantian had no choice but to give up.
At this time, a man in his thirties came into the store.
Xie Jiagui hurried over to greet him and wrote down his order with pen and paper.
The man spoke a few words, but his accent didn't sound like someone from here.
Pei Tiantian unconsciously looked at him a few more times.
