"Why would someone living such a miserable life bring a hammer to our village?"
As the village chief spoke, he took a flashlight and came to the warehouse door. "Hmph, look what you three have done. You've smashed the lock on our warehouse."
Upon hearing the village chief's words, everyone rushed over to see what was going on.
"Break the locks on our warehouse! I'll let you break them, I'll let you break them..."
Some villagers, enraged, kicked all three of them.
After kicking for a while, the village chief saw that they had kicked enough and quickly stopped them.
"Alright, since they didn't manage to steal anything, let's take them to the brigade headquarters and keep them under guard. Tomorrow we'll send them to the commune and let the commune handle it."
"No, please! We failed to steal anything, can you let us go?" Ma Liu pleaded tearfully.
"That won't do. What if we let you go and steal from other villages?"
You guys take them upstairs and come with me to the brigade headquarters.
"Su, I'll handle this first. Thank you so much for tonight."
The village chief gave a few instructions, and the other villagers helped escort the three people who had stolen grain to the brigade headquarters.
Standing next to Su Tian, Aunt Zhang asked, "Su, did you discover the thief?"
"That's right. She discovered the thief and rushed to my house to find the old man."
If it weren't for Su Tian discovering the thief, our warehouse would have been in serious trouble.
"These are all grain seeds; we'll plant them next spring."
Liu Chunni praised Zhang Aunt as if she had discovered a thief herself.
"Our village really should thank Su, the educated youth. Thanks to her, she did nothing but good things since she came to our village."
Our village needs more people like Su Zhiqing, don't you all agree?
Aunt Zhang spoke excitedly, and everyone echoed her sentiments.
"I'm part of the village too, it's my duty. Aunts and uncles, we should go back now, it's very late."
Su Tian looked at the villagers happily and spoke.
Liu Chunni chimed in, "Yes, let's hurry back to sleep. We have to go to work tomorrow."
Before long, the drying yard and warehouse were empty.
"Su Tian, do you want me to take you home?"
Su Tian looked at Liu Chunni and said, "No need, I can manage on my own, I have a flashlight."
Aunt Chunni, you should go back now.
"Okay, I'm leaving then."
After watching Liu Chunni walk away, Su Tian also returned to the educated youth settlement with a flashlight.
Just as Su Tian reached the entrance of the educated youth settlement, she noticed a figure sneaking around trying to climb the wall.
What kind of day is it today? Why aren't any of them sleeping? Are they up to something tonight?
Su Tian quietly walked behind the figure and tapped his shoulder with her flashlight.
"Don't touch me, I'm busy."
The person on the wall was trying his best to climb up, and Su Tian tapped him with her flashlight again.
"Who's being so annoying?" The man turned around, looked around, and was so frightened that he slid off the wall.
"Oh, it's you. Tell me, why are you tearing down the wall at our educated youth settlement?"
Su Tian glared fiercely at Liu Ergou, who was sitting on the ground, and shone a flashlight on him.
"I didn't steal anything, I just came here for a walk."
Liu Ergou tried to hide his fear, afraid that if he told the truth, the woman would beat him.
"Taking a walk? That's nice."
Immediately, Su Tian didn't care about anything else and started beating people up.
"Will you tell me or not?"
Su Tian got tired of beating people up and started kicking them instead.
“I said I came to climb the wall because I wanted to see Zhou Man.”
Su Tian didn't let go of her foot; she kept kicking.
"It's true, I'm telling the truth, why are you still kicking and stomping?"
Liu Ergou clutched his body, howling in pain.
"Get lost. Can't you see anything in broad daylight? Why come out at night looking so ugly and scare people?"
Liu Ergou scrambled to his feet and ran away in a panic.
I'm having such bad luck today, running into this jinx.
Su Tian watched Liu Er run away in a panic, then took a flashlight and hummed a song as she entered the yard.
The courtyard was quiet at this time, and the people at the educated youth settlement were all sitting in their rooms.
Su Tian glanced at her watch; it was almost nine o'clock.
She opened her bedroom door, locked it, and then went into the space.
As soon as I entered the space, the puppy came over wagging its tail.
"Little Red, go play obediently, and I'll find an excuse to let you out later."
The puppy, upon hearing this, wagged its tail and lay down on the ground.
Seeing its appearance, Su Tian thought that a dog that had drunk the spiritual spring water should be smarter than an ordinary dog, right?
Su Tian squatted down and patted Xiao Hong's head, pondering how to make Xiao Hong appear naturally in front of everyone.
For now, she left it aside and went to soak in the hot spring.
The next morning, the sun shone brightly.
On their way to the brigade's primary school, Su Tian and Ma Chunling encountered the village chief and several villagers escorting the three young thieves.
"What happened?"
Ma Chunling asked curiously, and Su Tian, seeing her gossipy look, said softly, "Those three men came to the village to steal last night."
He picked up a hammer and tried to unlock the warehouse to steal grain.
"That's incredibly audacious! Have they got a death wish?"
"Aunt Chunni, what brings you out here too?" Su Tian asked Liu Chunni happily.
She quickly took out some pastries she had brought back from Beijing from her bag and stuffed them into Liu Chunni's hand.
"Here, Aunt Chunni, this is something I brought back from Beijing. Have a taste."
"You even thought of bringing me something when you went to Beijing? You're so thoughtful."
Is this pastry expensive? I'll take it home and eat it slowly.
Seeing Liu Chunni's happy expression, Su Tian quickly said, "It's not expensive, you can take it home and eat it slowly."
"Aunt Chunni, I have to go to class now, let's talk again next time."
"Okay, sure."
As Liu Chunni watched Su Tian walk away, she was about to go back when Ma Dazui grabbed her sleeve.
"What kind of snacks did Su, the educated youth, give you? Here are two handfuls of melon seeds, let me see."
"Oh, it's you. Just a handful of melon seeds will do. Let me show you. We've never traveled far from home in our entire lives."
"Let me show you the sweets of Kyoto, and how they differ from those of our little town."
Ma Dazui took the bag from Liu Chunni's hand and looked at it carefully. "These pastries are really beautiful and exquisite."
"You and Su, the educated youth, must be really close; she's so willing to give you this."
“Of course, you can’t be envious,” Liu Chunni boasted.
"I have a question for you. Is your Xiaoguang dating that Li educated youth from the educated youth settlement?"
"Yes, they're dating." Liu Chunni said happily.
"Your son Xiaoguang is amazing. He looks like a carefree slacker, but he still managed to get a wife."
"Oh, when can we have the feast?"
Ma Dazui took out soybeans from his pocket, stuffed them into his mouth, and started chewing.
"Next month, don't worry, we'll invite you to the banquet. Just prepare your gift money."
"Let's go, time to work, the team leader will be furious if we're late."
Liu Chunni put the snacks into a bag and urged Ma Dazui to hurry to the drying ground together.
"Hey, look! Who's pulling and tugging over there?" Ma Dazui whispered, his eyes sharp.
