Chapter 162: Stealing Corn

"Mr. Lin, this is a private matter between me and Brother Dong, it's not good for you to be so nosy. ā€

"Brother Dong, Xiong Jiaojiao, I ask you to remember one thing, you are first and foremost an employee of our company, and other times other than working hours are your personal time. It's work time, and you should call him to the east. For the sake of this being your first offense, I won't bother with you, but if there is a next time, then I can only punish you according to the company's regulations. ā€

"Also, I am the second largest shareholder of the company except for Xiang Dong, but everything related to the interests of the company is also related to me. Your repeated entanglement not only affected the progress of the road construction, but also affected the mood of the chairman, to put it mildly, it is nothing more than a slower progress of the work, but to put it more seriously, this is directly damaging to the interests of the entire company. ā€

"And now you're going to say, am I nosy?"

"I ......" Xiong Jiaojiao stammered, unable to answer for a while.

"Not leaving?" Lin Tingxue said with a cold face.

Xiong Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and turned to leave.

Lin Tingxue came to the side of the "twittering" crowd, "Are you all idle? If you have nothing to do, I'll arrange a job for you." ā€

Suddenly, the crowd fell silent.

After that, no one dared to talk about Xiang Dong and Xiong Jiaojiao so openly anymore.

It won't be long before this matter settles down.

If you want to deal with this troublesome matter, you still have to Lin Tingxue to come forward, her cold and iron-faced selfless appearance, just going to that station is daunting.

Xiang Dong really admires her so much.

"You admired me for that time, you might as well think about what lessons you can learn from this matter. Eat a trench to grow wisdom, but I found that you don't seem to be wise, and you can be forced to be like this by Xiong Jiaojiao and their family. Lin Tingxue's tone was full of disgust.

Xiang Dong was ashamed, if he wanted to say that he was indeed a good hand at farming, but when it came to dealing with the short troubles of his parents, he really couldn't do it.

Lin Tingxue's lesson is very right, he has to study hard.

"I've been almost good in the past two days, I'll go with you to see the progress later. ā€

"No, I've been staring at it, it's not a big deal. Your feet are just right, but you still can't exercise too much, so you should continue to do statistical work. ā€

"I've taught you so much about statistics, it's time for you to learn. I don't do it, you do it yourself, I'll monitor the progress today. ā€

Xiang Dong looked bitter, "I—I'm afraid I won't be able to do well." ā€

"I want you to practice just because you can't do it well, and if you can do it well, I don't want you to do it. ā€

As she spoke, Lin Tingxue stuffed things into Xiang Dong's arms and insisted that he do it.

Xiang Dong sighed, and could only obediently obey orders.

"Potatoes...... 65 pcs., sweet potatoes...... 72, cowpea seeds...... How many? I'll go, I'll have to count it again. ā€

Xiang Dong is really a head two big, he has counted these cowpea seeds several times, and each time it is different, how many are these.

This kind of careful work is really not something he can do, it is too brain-consuming.

Originally, it was a simple job, and if Lin Tingxue was asked to do it, it might be completed in an hour, but Xiang Dong had been busy all morning, and the cowpea seeds had not been counted yet.

Lin Tingxue was really going to be angry with him, "It's easy for you to count them like this, divide them into piles and piles, one pile for every fifty, or one pile for every hundred, so you just need to count how many piles there are." ā€

"yes, I didn't think of such a simple solution. Xiang Dong slapped himself on the head, and he was really stupid to cry.

Lin Tingxue helped him to divide and stack the cowpea seeds that had been dried into piles, a total of 276 seeds.

These 276 cowpea seeds can create 2,000 or even 20,000 cowpeas.

In such a place, if you want to get more food, you have to create it yourself.

With the seeds of these plants, are we still far from creating an inexhaustible source of food?

After the statistics were completed, Lin Tingxue put these things away one by one and labeled them for marking.

The idle land will not be able to be planted for a while, and it will have to be raised for a while, and these seeds are more precious than gold, and the team is now mixed, so they have to be careful.

Every time, it was in the dead of night that Xiang Dong and Lin Tingxue hid these things in a place that only the two of them knew.

As the saying goes, be careful to make a 10,000-year-old ship, not afraid of 10,000 is afraid of what happens, it's better to be cautious.

"Sun Yaobin, they are quite regular so far, but I don't know if they will be so regular in the future, I always feel that their reaction is too calm now, and the calm is a little abnormal. ā€

On the way back, Xiang Dong told Lin Tingxue what he thought in his heart.

Lin Tingxue agreed with his point of view, "You are right, and whether it is Sun Yaobin or those relatives of the Song family, we can't take it too lightly." ā€

Xiang Dong said disapprerovingly, "Those relatives of the Song family don't have that kind of foresight at all, it's not that I underestimate them, it's that they are really just a group of people with a small eye on the mouse." There is no foresight, not to mention, and there is no unity at all, there are only a few people in total, and now the three families that are still making trouble are separated. ā€

"It's a loss that we can provide them with food, and without us, I think they'll starve to death. ā€

"Either way, it's always right to be cautious. Especially our corn seeds, which are about to reach maturity, in order to prevent anyone from stealing our things, during this time, I think we should arrange people to take turns to keep vigil. ā€

Truly.

Corn is the most staple food and the most versatile thing they currently have.

Those ten corn seeds, but in exchange for some animal fur, Xiangdong has been carefully maintained for the past few months, and when it is not time to mature, someone has taken it away, it is really too fucked.

"You're right, I'll arrange it tomorrow. ā€

While speaking, the two returned to their place of residence.

"Rustle...... Rustle......"

"Who?"

The two subconsciously ran in the direction of planting corn, and Lucky bore the brunt, but the man escaped.

He checked to the east and found that two of their corn had been broken, and one was so stretched that he could only eat tender corn.

On the way back, he also discussed with Lin Tingxue that he would arrange a night watchman to prevent the corn from being stolen, who knew that it would happen now, and he also lost three corn cobs, leaving only seven.

These three corn cobs, how much corn seeds to lose, Xiangdong is really painful.

Who is it, who is that dark shadow just now?

Walk east to the front of the house, "pop papa", and knock on all the doors.

The people in the house came out one after another, and Xiang Dong watched these people come out of the house rubbing their eyes, and he could rule out the possibility that the black shadow came from within them.

If it weren't for their people, only Sun Yaobin and their team and those relatives of the Song family would remain.

To the east, divide the crowd into four ways, and go to find those people separately, and be sure to find out the man who stole the corn.

He was in charge of Sun Yaobin and their side, when Xiang Dong and the others came to find them, Sun Yaobin and the others were sleeping deeply, all the people were there, he sent someone to look for them nearby, and there was no trace of the corn cob.

"Chairman, no. ā€

"What are you looking for?" asked Sun Yaobin very unkindly.

Xiang Dong met Sun Yaobin's gaze and wanted to see something in his eyes, but Sun Yaobin's eyes were nothing but sleepy eyes.

There were all the other people who seemed to have just been woken up, and none of them looked out of the ordeal.

The most important thing is that their territory is so big, they have searched everywhere, and they have not found any stolen goods!

Is it that they hid things very deeply, or that the black shadow really didn't come from Sun Yaobin's side.

According to Sun Yaobin's urine, if he did it, it would not be as simple as a few corn cobs. Moreover, they are still in a cooperative relationship now, and Sun Yaobin has no need to cause trouble for himself at this time.

Xiang Dong thought about it and truthfully told Sun Yaobin about the loss of corn.

"Xiangdong, you have corn, we also have corn, why should we steal yours? We slept well, you indiscriminately brought so many people to search, and now you want to send us away with a few words?"

"We're just these people, I don't doubt you, who do I suspect? Let's go, let's go and keep looking for someone. ā€

After Xiang Dong finished speaking, he didn't care what Sun Yaobin's reaction was, and left with the crowd.

The other teams were also not in a good position, finding no evidence or suspicious objects similar to the figures they saw.

"It's just a few people, it's not them, is it a ghost?"

"Could it be that there are other people on this island besides us?" Gao Mei said, and the crowd suddenly became restless.

But more than that, it's fear.

Just think about it, everyone has lived on this island for so long, and has always thought that there are only these people here, and one day suddenly other people will appear, can it not be scary?

This desert island where birds don't, even if there are other people, I'm afraid they are savages.

I've heard that wild people can attack people, and even animals can be torn apart, let alone them.

If this were a wild man, it would be terrible.

"Don't guess, keep looking, and see if you can find some clues or something. ā€

Blind guessing will only make trouble, and without conclusive evidence, they are not allowed to spread rumors indiscriminately to the east.

The crowd did not dare to separate again, gathered together, and searched around for a long time, but still did not gain anything.
