Zhou Niannian and Qi Jiayan were woken up by a knock on the door early in the morning.

"Is Deputy Director Xiao Zhou at home, is there anyone at home?" a continuous high-pitched cry came from outside the door.

There was no sound inside the door.

Some people who got up early and wandered around the village came over curiously and asked: "Aunt Xing, come here early this morning to knock on the door, is there something to find Deputy Director Xiao Zhou?"

Li Mei was carrying a packet of brown sugar and a bag of snacks in her hand, with a look of embarrassment on her face, "That day the factory sent something, my mind was not clear, and I went to the factory to make trouble. ”

She shook the things in her hand as she spoke, "Isn't this thirty today, I have to go home to make dumplings and clean up after a while, so I came over early in the morning to see Deputy Director Xiao Zhou." ”

Li Mei went to the factory a few days ago to make trouble, and many people in the village knew about it, and they joked about her, "I think Aunt Xing, you are not busy, are you afraid that you will be embarrassed by someone after a while?"

"Go, go!" Li Mei deliberately spat with a straight face, "I know that I am afraid of embarrassment, so I don't leave quickly, be careful that I scold you." ”

The person who came took a step back with a smile, but refused to walk away, "I have to give your aunt your courage, if Deputy Director Xiao Zhou is still angry, I will also say two words of intercession for you." ”

Li Mei just pretended to drive people away, muttered a few words of dissatisfaction when she saw this, turned her head and continued to knock on the door.

It took a moment before a scream rang out from inside the door, "Ahh......hhh

When Li Mei heard this, a clear smile flashed in her eyes, and it was done.

Her face was full of anxiety, and she said to the lively people: "I heard Deputy Comrade Xiao Zhou screaming, my God, there won't be thieves in the house, right?"

"Quick, open the door and take a look. ”

The person who came to see the excitement hesitated, "This.... It's not good, it's two lesbians. ”

"What's not going on?" hesitated, and the people living not far away came over from the house, "What's going on?"

"I seem to hear the screams of Deputy Director Xiao Zhou, I don't know what's wrong?"

Li Mei stomped her feet anxiously, "What else can there be, it must be a thief in the house, let's rush in and take a look, don't go in late, Deputy Director Xiao Zhou will suffer again." ”

Everyone looked at each other, "Can there be a thief who is the opponent of Deputy Director Xiao Zhou?"

The anxious look on Li Mei's face paused, and then she heard even sharper screams from inside, one after another, like a duet.

"Oh, and Comrade Qi's shout, don't hesitate, open the door and take a look. Li Mei urged anxiously, with a faint excitement in her eyes, as if she had seen Zhou Niannian's embarrassed appearance.

Li Wenjing also arrived at this time, and when she heard the shouts inside, she asked a series of questions curiously: "What's the matter? What's going on?"

Someone casually answered: "Deputy Director Xiao Zhou's house seems to be a thief." ”

Li Wenjing sighed, looking very shocked, but there was some schadenfreude in his heart.

I don't know if the thief stole Zhou Niannian's things.

Meng Laosan hurried over, and when he heard that there was a thief inside, he glared anxiously, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and go in and take a look." ”

Listening to the continuous shouts inside, everyone no longer hesitated, and quickly slammed the door open.

As soon as the door opened, Li Mei took the lead in squeezing into the courtyard and was about to rush into the hall.

The door of the hall opened, and two people rushed out of it, and they hit Li Mei directly.

With a bang, Li Mei stumbled and fell directly to the ground, falling on all fours.

The brown sugar and snacks in her hand rolled on the ground, and were directly picked up by people who had the intention to come over to see the excitement.

"Deputy Director Xiao Zhou, Comrade Qi, are you all right? What happened to the family just now? Are you a thief?" Meng Laosan asked Zhou Niannian with concern.

Zhou Niannian and Qi Jiayan rushed out in a hurry at first glance, although the two of them were wearing sweaters, their coats were all draped on their bodies, and they didn't mention the shoes on their feet, so they ran out with them.

"No.... There are no thieves, no. Zhou Niannian waved his hand, and his expression seemed to be flustered for a moment.

Li Mei, who got up from the ground, didn't care about patting the dirt on her body, her eyes rolled, and she grabbed Qi Jiayan with pretended concern, "Comrade Qi, don't be afraid, there are so many of us, even if there are three or two thieves, we can get rid of her." ”

As he spoke, he was about to rush to the back room first, but Zhou Niannian grabbed his arm, "Isn't this the aunt of the Xing family?

Li Mei wanted to rush into the house, but she couldn't break free of Zhou Niannian's hand at all, so she had to pretend to be concerned and said: "Oh, Deputy Director Xiao Zhou, it's not important, the important thing is that we have to catch the thief quickly." ”

"What kind of thief? I don't have any thieves in my house. Zhou Niannian pretended to be puzzled.

The look in Li Mei's eyes became even more eager, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the smile that came to her lips, "You didn't enter the thief, why were you screaming in fright just now?" Deputy Director Xiao Zhou, don't be afraid, one or two thieves, so many of us can still be afraid of them?"

As he spoke, he stomped his feet at those who were watching the excitement, "What are you doing in a daze, go in and catch the thief." ”

Seeing that the lively people did not move, Meng Laosan said with a puzzled face: "Deputy Director Xiao Zhou and Comrade Qi are fine, and they also said that there are no thieves at home, why are you so sure that there are thieves at home?"

Zhou Niannian also looked at Li Mei with a smile: "Yes, I'm also curious why you are so sure that there is a thief in my house?"

Li Mei froze, realizing that she was acting too quickly, so she hurriedly restrained her expression, and pretended to be jointed: "I didn't offend Deputy Director Xiao Zhou a few days ago, didn't I come to compensate today, as soon as I heard your scream, I trembled with fright in my heart." ”

"It's going to be the New Year, and many places have not been peaceful recently, I'm not afraid that there will be thieves at home, and you and Comrade Qi will suffer?"

"You see that you and Comrade Qi are so beautiful, what can you do if the thief has bad intentions together?"

She said that things had changed a little in a few words, and some elderly people echoed: "Yes, at the end of the year, the thief will be rampant, and if you have other thoughts, what can you two girls do?"

Li Mei took the opportunity to climb up the pole, "That's it, Deputy Director Xiao Zhou, maybe there is a little thief cat hiding in your house at this moment, my mother's brother came to deliver something last night, and said that he saw two men sneaking towards you." ”

"I didn't think much of it at the time, but the more I thought about it this morning, the more wrong it became, and maybe the thief had already entered your house and hid in the house waiting to harm you. ”

Li Mei greeted Meng Laosan as she spoke, "What are you still doing in a daze, Comrade Xiao Zhou lives in your family's house, and if something happens to your family, your family will also be responsible." ”
