The captain and his wife hurried to the kitchen door and saw that it was still locked. They felt a little relieved. Without the key, you, a thief, would definitely not be able to get in.
When they opened the door, they found that all the bacon and game smoked on the stove were gone.
The captain and his wife stumbled into the kitchen, only to see that it was empty.
It was understandable that the bacon and game were gone, but he even stole four jars of pickles! He didn't leave any for her, and he didn't even know how they got in.
The woman's eyes were filled with anger: "His father, our family is hiring a bitch."
"No, we have to report this to the police and have them arrest him."
She was still crying as she spoke, "It's over! It's all over."
She cried and wanted to go out and find someone to help her call the police.
The team leader quickly grabbed his wife's arm and stopped her from going out to look for someone.
"Hey, why are you going? If the police come, we'll be doomed, right?"
"When they ask you what you lost, what are you going to say?"
"Go and see if the food is still there."
Most of the things in his home were embezzled from the villagers, and some were taken from him because he was the team leader, so no one dared to ask if he took anything home.
The food and money didn't come from ordinary sources. If the police really found them and asked where they came from, how would he explain it?
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. "Even those gold bars, any one of them, could cost them their lives."
He hated his daughter-in-law because she was used to being an official's wife and didn't use her brain at all.
The couple thought of the food in the warehouse and hurried there.
When I came here, I found that all the cabinets in the house were gone. If there wasn’t some dust in that place and the garbage that was not usually cleaned, I would have thought it was like that!
The door of the granary was also open, and all his more than 2,000 kilograms of wheat were gone.
Seeing the empty warehouse, the captain screamed and fainted.
He couldn't understand how so many things could disappear overnight.
He is the team leader, who would have the guts to steal?
Seeing that her husband was about to faint, the captain's wife hurried to support him.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Don't scare us!"
Thinking that his son had not yet gotten up, he quickly called his son to help.
"Da Hu, Da Hu! Come and help, your father has fainted."
After Da Hu arrived, the mother and son carried the person to the bed.
Da Hu kept asking, "Mom, what happened to my dad?"
His mother didn't dare to say it! His husband also didn't allow her to say it, so she could only hold it in for now.
"Don't ask anymore. Go get your father a bowl of water."
After Uncle Chen's ox cart stopped at the entrance of the armed forces department, Jiang Baige helped Grandma Meng get off the cart.
Uncle Chen said with a smile, "Jiang Zhiqing, have a good New Year at home. Go early and come back early!"
Jiang Baige took out 40 cents from her pocket and agreed with a smile: "Okay, I'll be back after the New Year."
When Mr. Chen saw that she was going to give him money, he immediately got angry.
"The candy you just gave me cost quite a bit of money, but this trip is free for you."
Everyone on the ox cart had already left, so if they were given a free fare at this time, no one else would see it, so they said this.
Jiang Baige stuffed the money into his pocket and said, "Candy is candy, but you have to pay for the journey. If you don't accept my money, it will be disastrous if others find out. You can forget about accepting money from me in the future."
Uncle Chen sighed, "Okay, I'll take it. Please drive slowly on the road and don't lose your luggage."
Jiang Baige nodded, "Yeah."
Grandpa Chen said to Grandma Meng again, "Auntie! Be careful when you go out. Don't get lost with the child. If you can't see, it will be difficult for you to come back."
Grandma Meng grabbed Jiang Baige's sleeve and said seriously, "From now on, I will never let go of the girl's sleeve wherever I go. If she doesn't get lost, then I won't get lost either."
Hearing her relaxed answer, Uncle Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'm leaving."
After watching the ox cart leave, Jiang Baige walked into the armed forces department with her bag.
It was very quiet here today. They all came in and didn't see anyone inside.
Jiang Baige called out, "Is anyone there?"
A woman came out from the back of the yard, holding a broom and with the wall pressed against her chest.
She looked like she was cleaning.
Erzhu Niang was cleaning the backyard. She came out when she heard someone calling her.
Erzhu Niang saw the two people in the yard, she smiled, and then asked politely.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
Jiang Baige asked, "Auntie, is your captain Chen Jianguo here? I'm looking for him."
Er Zhu Niang didn't recognize Jiang Baige. She only looked at her curiously, then said softly, "They went on a mission today. They left early in the morning and haven't returned yet."
"Comrade, do you have something to say to our captain?"
Jiang Baige responded, "Well, I'm his fiancée. I'm going home for the New Year today, so I came to tell him."
When she heard that it was the captain's fiancée, Erzhu Niang quickly threw away the broom and wiped her hands on her apron.
"Oh my! So you're the captain's fiancée! You're so handsome."
As she spoke, she came to carry Jiang Baige's suitcase.
"Come in and sit down. They've been gone for a while. I don't know how long it will take for them to come back. Go inside and sit and wait."
Jiang Baige asked curiously, "What are they doing?"
Er Zhu Niang shook her head. "I don't know about that. When I arrived, they had already left and hadn't even had time to eat breakfast."
As she spoke, she walked towards Chen Jianguo's dormitory towards Jiang Baige.
"Wait here, I'll get you some hot water."
Jiang Baige was reluctant to leave without seeing Chen Jianguo, so she wanted to wait here for him to come back.
Jiang Baige has already arranged everything that follows. Since they will stay in the county town today, it doesn’t matter whether they go early or late.
Erzhu Niang poured them some hot water, but didn't stay with them and continued to do her own thing.
She also has to clean two courtyards and several offices. After finishing all these, she has to cook for several young people. It is a very busy day.
Jiang Baige waited until noon, but no one came back. She took out paper and pen from the drawer and began to write a letter to Chen Jianguo.
There are only two buses a day to the county town. If they don't leave today, they will have to stay for another night. There is no guesthouse in the town, so they may have to go home.
Although she hadn't bought the ticket yet, she had a lot of things to do tonight and couldn't wait.
After writing the letter, she put it in the drawer. If Chen Jianguo knew she had been there, he would definitely open the drawer and look first.
Then she left a lot of food for Chen Jianguo. Every time she gave Chen Jianguo food, he put it in the drawer. Jiang Baige also planned to fill these two drawers for him.
Thinking that he must have been very tired after a day of mission, I left him some dried meat, sausage, and some biscuits.
