"When did your mother go out?" Zhao Xiaohe asked Congcong.

"I went out after eating at noon. Uncle Village Chief, do you have watercolor pens for sale in your supermarket? Can you ask my uncle to buy a box for me?" When Zhao Wenming's house was eating, Zhao Xiaohe saw Congcong a few times and teased him, so Congcong didn't have any sympathy for Zhao Xiaohe.

"Yes. But you have to tell the village chief, uncle, are you often home alone during the day these days?"

Seeing Congcong shaking his head, Zhao Xiaohe breathed a sigh of relief, stepped on the electric car, and prepared to go back to the supermarket to get a box of watercolor pens for Congcong.

However, before he twisted the key of the electric car, Cong Cong called out to him: "Uncle Village Chief, did I lie, and you won't let my uncle help me buy watercolor pens?"

Speaking of this, Congcong's little face brought out a touch of grievance, "But my mother won't let me tell others about her absence at home, let alone my uncle." Uncle Village Chief, let me tell you about my mother's absence at home, can you not tell my uncle? If my uncle finds out, my mother will scold me. ”

"Your mom goes out a lot during the day?!" Zhao Xiaohe had already stopped the electric car again and asked Congcong softly through the iron gate.

"Don't you tell me if Uncle is okay?" Seeing Zhao Xiaohe nodded, Cong Cong dared to continue to speak, "My mother didn't go to play mahjong, she went to work to make money to buy me Boli seaweed to eat." Uncle said that children can't eat more polly seaweed, and my mother is not allowed to buy it for me, so my mother secretly goes out to buy it every day. ”

Zhao Xiaohe was surprised: "I go out every day?!"

Cong Cong nodded again: "Mom said that there is a lot of pneumonia outside now, and it is difficult to buy Boli seaweed, so you have to go far away to buy it, and you can only buy one pack a day." ”

At this time, Zhao Xiaohe had already guessed that Hu Meilian had made up such a lie to deceive the child, and eighty percent of them went out to play mahjong, so he was so angry that he couldn't do it for a while, so he endured it and continued to use Congcong's words: "When your mother goes to buy you Boli seaweed every day, did she come to your house to invite her?"

"Nope. Every time someone called, my mother said, 'Come on, come on,' and then leave. ”

"Did your mom go out on an electric car?"

"No, Mom said to take the bus. ”

Zhao Xiaohe looked around, had some numbers in his heart, turned around and rode the electric car, and told Congcong: "Uncle go buy you watercolor pens, you stay at home obediently, don't mess with dangerous things!"

"I know, I don't move, my mother taught me. Bye-bye to the village chief's uncle. Through the curtain, Cong Cong waved to Zhao Xiaohe, and then slapped happily again, "Oh, there will be watercolor pens soon, and you can draw." ”

Looking at the child who was so easily satisfied, Zhao Xiaohe felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Riding the electric car to a secluded place where no one was around, he called Zhao Wenming and briefly explained what had just happened.

Zhao Wenming was so sensitive, he immediately guessed the real reason why Hu Meilian went out, and instantly burst into foul language on the phone.

He thought that if he assigned his younger brother as an anti-epidemic volunteer and was busy every day, his brother-in-law would be at home with the child with peace of mind, but he didn't expect her to lock the child in the house alone!

"Whose house did she go to?" asked Zhao Wenming through gritted teeth.

"I don't know. I ......" happened to see Zhao Youzhi riding an electric car out to patrol, Zhao Xiaohe hurriedly called him to stop, did not hang up the phone, and directly asked Zhao Youzhi about the confiscation of mahjong and cards.

"Each set of mahjong has received four chickens," Zhao Youzhi replied with a smile, "the cards paid were also filled with two barrels, and the masses were each reported once, vigorously promoted online entertainment, and repeatedly emphasized that if they found playing cards and mahjong again, they were sent to the village to stand guard, all of them were pronged, and I bet that no one in the village will definitely play mahjong and cards in actual combat." ”

"Not necessarily. ”

Zhao Youzhi was very surprised, and asked with some disbelief: "Who plays cards or mahjong?!Who is playing?!Where to play?"

Zhao Xiaohe didn't answer his question directly, and asked, "Who do you think has the worst mahjong addiction in the village?"

"Who else can there be?" Meilian and Long Haobei," Zhao Youzhi blurted out, "Meilian is the kind of person who can play mahjong as a meal, no matter what time she is called to play mahjong, she will serve on the table." Long Hao is the same, sometimes selling vegetables is late, afraid that he will not be able to catch up with mahjong tiles, and will let Hongmei help him occupy the position first, he directly drove the tricycle to the place where he played mahjong, and did not change the dirty clothes that sold vegetables, so he went to the table to play mahjong, and then asked Hongmei to serve him food. ”

"He plays mahjong and serves him rice with red plums?"

In Long Hao's own words, if you don't play mahjong for a day, it's uncomfortable, and if you don't play mahjong for two days, it's like being sick, if you don't play mahjong for three days, then it's better to let him die......" Zhao Youzhi suddenly paused, "Could it be that they are the ones who play mahjong?!Could it be that he took the opportunity of the market to go to the town to buy a new mahjong?!"

Zhao Xiaohe also had this kind of guess, and then rushed to Zhao Longhao's house with Zhao Youzhi, and met Zhao Wenming who came in a hurry on the way.

But to their surprise, Zhao Longhao was actually at home!

"What are you looking for me, don't you want me to raise the price again, don't you?!" Zhao Longhao came out with his mobile phone to ask them, and as he was talking, there was a sound of "one tube" from the mobile phone.

Zhao Longhao plays mahjong online!

Zhao Xiaohe and Zhao Wenming immediately glanced at each other.

Seeing that Zhao Longhao was a little impatient, Zhao Xiaohe hurriedly smiled and explained for a reason: "No, no, it just reminds you to pay extra attention when selling vegetables, and you must disinfect and disinfect when you come back." ”

"I know, how many times have I told it? ”

"Village chief, if you don't feel at ease, give our family another bottle of alcohol disinfectant. Liu Hongmei, who was fiddling with radishes under the eaves, immediately answered when she heard this.

"That's it," Zhao Longhao reacted, and immediately agreed, you give more, my work of sanitizing can be done better. ”

"Okay, I'll send it to you later. Zhao Xiaohe stiffened his head and quietly observed Zhao Longhao's expression.

At this moment, Zhao Longhao's mobile phone rang: "Don't urge, don't rush! Go back to the house immediately! The signal in the yard is not good." ”

While hanging up the phone, he asked Zhao Xiaohe quickly, "Is there anything else?" I went back to the house to play mahjong if I had nothing else to do! ”

"Go, go, make some more!" Zhao Youzhi responded with a smile.

The three of them soon left Zhao Longhao's home.

"Long Hao is really playing mahjong online. "Zhao Xiaohe also plays mahjong, but he doesn't like to play, occasionally Chen Lanlan has bad luck playing mahjong on the Internet, and will ask him to help him play two to change his luck, so he is very familiar with the page of Zhao Longhao's mobile phone playing mahjong.

"In such an extraordinary period, even Long Hao has changed to online entertainment, and eighty percent of Meilian also plays online, besides, even if she wants to fight mahjong, this mahjong has to be played by four people, Long Hao is no longer playing, where does she go to find three people who dare to commit crimes against the wind to play mahjong? Not to mention that the chickens of mahjong in the village have been taken away by me, what is she playing mahjong with? Village chief, are you mistaken?" The more Zhao Youzhi said, the more he felt that Zhao Xiaohe had misunderstood Hu Meilian.

"But she was really not at home. And listening to Congcong's tone, he was not at home for the past few afternoons. Zhao Xiaohe didn't have a bottom in his heart, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"It's not necessarily that I'm not going to play mahjong when I'm not at home, but I may be ......" I wanted to make a joke, but suddenly thought that Hu Meilian was Zhao Wenming's younger daughter-in-law, Zhao Youzhi immediately laughed and changed his words, "It may also be boring to stay at home, and secretly hide in a little daughter-in-law's house with a better relationship." Or give us a phone call and ask? Wenming, do you have a phone number?"

"There are also Jiajie and Huazi who often play mahjong with Meilian, right?" Zhao Wenming pretended not to understand what Zhao Youzhi wanted to say, did not respond to Zhao Youzhi's words, and asked Zhao Xiaohe.

Zhao Xiaohe nodded: "Tomorrow is the day of procurement, Jiacheng notified the procurement team to have a meeting at three o'clock, I just saw Jiajie in the procurement group that he arrived at the village committee." As for Huazi's situation, I don't know. ”

"They don't play two-person mahjong. Zhao Youzhi interjected with a smile, "What's the point of that? ”

"Go to Huazi's house and have a look. After Zhao Wenming finished speaking, he got on the electric car and rode straight to Zhao Huazi's house.

Zhao Xiaohe had a vague bad omen in his heart, and immediately broke away from Zhao Youzhi and asked him to continue patrolling, while quickly keeping up with Zhao Wenming's speed.

Zhao Huazi's house was newly built, and the yard had not yet been fenced, so Zhao Xiaohe and Zhao Wenming directly rode the electric car to the gate of his house, stopped and shouted the door.

"Who?" came the lazy voice of Zhao Huazi's wife, Xiaoyang, from the room, apparently sleeping.

"I, Creek. What about Huazi?" Zhao Xiaohe had already thought of a reason to find Zhao Huazi.

"Dead. ”

"Dead?!" Zhao Xiaohe was startled, and after realizing that Xiaoyang was cursing Zhao Huazi with anger, he hurriedly asked with a smile, "Huazi is selling eggs again?"

Zhao Huazi and his wife are professional chicken farmers, and they have raised thousands of chickens with the support of their eldest brother Zhao Huaxiang. Because Zhao Huazi likes to play mahjong, and sometimes plays quite big, Zhao Huaxiang was afraid of his younger brother Hu Lai, so he assigned the financial power of the chicken farm to his younger daughter-in-law Xiaoyang. Zhao Huazi sometimes lost money playing mahjong, so he stole some eggs from home and sold them. So he sold eggs and became a joke for the villagers.

"He's not at home. Probably went to a chicken farm. Xiao Yang opened the door with his hair draped, and pointed casually, "If you are looking for him, go over there to find him." ”

With that, he closed the door again.

"Huazi went to the chicken farm to get chicken food, it seems that Meilian is really in which little daughter-in-law's house, you can call Meilian directly and ask her to go home and take Congcong. I went to the village for a purchasing meeting. Zhao Xiaohe found an excuse and prepared to leave.

Zhao Huazi's chicken farm is west of Cunxi Road, which is the most remote place in Zhaojiazhou, and few people usually go, let alone such a cold day.

The mahjong has been paid, and two of the four people who usually play mahjong together did not participate, leaving a pair of lonely men and widows, plus Xiaoyang is this emotion, it is inevitable that Zhao Xiaohe will not think crookedly.

In case Zhao Huazi and Hu Meilian really "play mahjong for two" in the chicken farm, it will be really embarrassing.

So where did he dare to bring up the matter of going to the chicken farm at this time?

Zhao Wenming knew very well what he was thinking in his heart, and at this time, Zhao Wenming's face had become like the dark sky before the storm, and he said, "I'll go to the chicken farm to see", and went to open the electric car key.

"Civilization!"

"I won't stop until I figure this out!" Zhao Wenming pushed away Zhao Xiaohe, who was pulling him, and quickly started the electric car.
