Chen Tan was the first to break into the room where Shen Changwang and Hu Cuifen slept. He searched inside and out but found no clues about the "niece".
She found a small cloth bag in the crack of the wall where Hu Cuifen hid her money. The bag contained seventeen yuan and three meat tickets.
Later, in Hu Cuifen's wardrobe, he saw more than two pounds of milk candy and three pounds of peach cakes, two cans of malted milk, five bottles of canned yellow peaches, two pieces of brand new cotton cloth with white flowers on a red background, and ten feet of black corduroy cloth.
Then he moved the bed where Shen Changwang slept and dug out a small porcelain jar from the soil under the bed.
The original owner had seen Hu Cuifen hiding large amounts of money like this.
There were five hundred yuan and more than one hundred kilograms of local grain coupons, ten meters of cloth coupons, fifty-seven kilograms of meat coupons, twenty kilograms of sugar coupons, sixty kilograms of oil coupons and some daily necessities coupons in the porcelain jar.
What surprised Chen Tan the most was that there were 30 kilograms of national food coupons inside.
This "niece" is a bit too generous.
But why was Shen Changwang given so many national food coupons?
She blinked and collected all these things.
Then I went to Chen Yinhua's room. It was smelly inside, and all the clothes, used and unworn, were piled at the end of the bed.
There were a lot of black hairs on the pillow, like the nest of a hen in molting period.
In the bedside table, there were some snacks, a pile of love letters written to her by Lin Zhiqing, and three yuan and eighty cents.
She opened all the letters, and they were all filled with those pedantic love words from intellectuals.
This made her puzzled. In the original owner's memory, Lin Zhiqing, whom Chen Yinhua liked, was dismissive of her. Why was he so attentive to her now?
Is he moved by Chen Yinhua's love?
Not likely.
In the original owner's memory, that Lin Zhiqing was from Beijing. He was very arrogant and looked down on people from the mountains. He would not fall in love with Chen Yinhua easily.
Maybe Chen Yinhua had some leverage over him, or maybe Chen Yinhua was of some use to him.
Chen Tan believes that it is the latter. Chen Yinhua should have something that Lin Zhiqing can curry favor with.
After reading the letter, she didn't find any clues about her "niece".
She picked and chose among Shen Yinhua's pile of clothes, and picked out a relatively clean rose-red tweed coat and a high-waisted plaid skirt. She also saw a white fluffy hat and a wool scarf of the same color, and put them all into the space.
Then she took out the medicine she made in the mountains from the space and sprinkled it evenly on Shen Yinhua's bed, underwear, face towel and kettle. This is a kind of micro poison that will make Shen Yinhua's face look like a bee sting and fall into a coma, but will not kill her.
Then, she imitated Lin Zhiqing's handwriting, wrote a letter to Chen Yinhua, and placed it on the bed.
She went to Shen Jinbao's bedroom again, searched around, and found a big box of snacks, candies, biscuits, and fruits. All in all, it would take more than 30 yuan to buy them all.
This is too abnormal.
Shen Jinbao is very greedy and eats without restraint. He will never leave snacks uneaten unless he has eaten too much and is no longer interested in eating them.
She searched the house for clues again and found five dollars and thirty-nine cents, a pile of old clothes and children's toys, three of which were in foreign languages.
Chen Tan picked up the toys and looked at them carefully. They were all expensive items of that era.
Not everyone can afford it.
She continued to search Shen Jinbao's room and found a small picture book under the bed.
This was Shen Jinbao's favorite treasure. She took out a pen and paper and wrote a note to Shen Yinhua in the same handwriting as Lin Zhiqing.
He also found a clean white shirt and black suit among Shen Jinbao's clothes and put it on over her clothes.
Her height was about the same as Shen Jinbao's, both were over 1.6 meters tall. When she put on his clothes and imitated the way he walked, ordinary people couldn't tell unless they looked at her face.
She then found a wide-brimmed hat and a black scarf, put on the mask first, tied up her hair, and then put on the hat and scarf.
After wrapping himself up tightly, he took a few of Shen Jinbao's toys and a bag of milk candy, swaggered out of the Shen family's gate, and went to the mountain behind Xiahe Village.
Shen Changfu and his second and third sons have not returned yet. The women have all gone to work, and the children in the family are digging wild vegetables in the back mountain.
She quickly found them, took out Shen Jinbao's toys and candies, and imitated Shen Jinbao's voice change tone, "Go call Shen Yinhua back. Lin Zhiqing gave her a gift."
Among the children, the oldest was ten years old and the youngest was three years old. When they saw the toys and candies given by Chen Tan, their eyes lit up and they ran away with the things.
Chen Tan did not go back, but went back to Shen Changwang's house, took out Shen Jinbao's little picture book, and drew a new and more exciting one according to the content.
As she wished, half an hour later, Chen Yinhua came back happily.
She ran back to her bedroom excitedly, and soon screams were heard from the room.
Then he ran out like crazy.
Chen Tan followed her quietly all the way to the pond outside the village.
I saw Chen Yinhua jump into the water and wash her face desperately.
Her face was red at first, but soon it became as fat as a pig's head, and her eyes and nose were almost invisible.
Having achieved his goal, Chen Tan left with a smile.
By the pond, the village children who heard Chen Yinhua's screams and ran to watch the fun were stunned for a long time and couldn't figure out who she was.
Seeing that they were laughing at her, Chen Yinhua yelled at them angrily and asked them to call Hu Cuifen back, but no one helped her.
Finally, she took out five cents from her pocket and asked a little boy to run to find Hu Cuifen.
Hu Cuifen, who rushed over after hearing the news, could not recognize her own daughter, but fortunately she still recognized her clothes and shoes.
"Yinhua, what's wrong with you?"
"Woo, Mom, I don't know either."
Chen Yinhua spoke haltingly. After reading the letter, she rolled around on the bed with joy, and then her face and body felt unbearable stinging.
After she ran to the pond to wash, she no longer felt itchy or painful, but the swelling was still uncomfortable.
It seems like my throat is swollen and I can't speak clearly.
"It must have been a poisonous bee sting. Crush the garlic and apply it to the ground and come to work with me, otherwise your father won't be able to finish work tonight."
Hu Cuifen gets angry when she thinks about going to work.
She has no shortage of money or food, so why should she work?
But that damn Liu Kaishan not only forced them to go to work, but also allocated a piece of land for them to work on. If they didn't finish the work, the whole family could not go home.
Chen Yinhua covered her face and refused, "I'm in this condition, how can I go to work? I won't go, you ask for leave for me."
"It's no use if I say it, you go and say it yourself." Hu Cuifen left in a bad mood.
Chen Yinhua had no choice but to go to the collective work place.
All the people in Xiahe Village were weeding in the wheat field five miles outside the village.
Seeing Shen Yinhua's face, she was almost laughing like crazy. Seeing her like this, Shen Changkang and the scorer could only let her go home and rest.
Chen Yinhua didn't expect that her misfortune would turn out to be a blessing in disguise. She ran home and fell asleep on the bed.
On the other side, Chen Tan changed her clothes and returned home. She told Qin Qiuniang that she and Xie Shuijun were going to the mountains to collect herbs. They were afraid of getting lost, so they wanted to take Heizi with them.
Qin Qiuniang did not object and told her not to go into the mountains and to come back early.
