"You're telling the truth?!"

Zhao Xiaohe's angry and anxious voice alarmed Zhao Fangrong and Zhao Huiwen, and they both cast surprised glances. Love Word Pavilion

"Okay, I see, thank you. I'll keep it a secret for you. ”

Zhao Xiaohe hung up the phone after speaking, waved his hand at Zhao Wenrong and Zhao Huiwen, and said, "I'll make a call, you are watching here", and hurriedly walked to the south embankment of Nandi Road, while quickly dialing Zhao Sanfu's phone and telling Zhao Sanfu about the report from the masses he had just received.

"What?!Is there such a thing?!Is the little girl's words credible?" Zhao Sanfu's voice shook Zhao Xiaohe's eardrums.

"Although I've only met Yongjia a few times and never spoken to her, I feel like she's not the kind of ghostly girl, not to mention that she's also in her first year of high school, and she has the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, so she won't fool us. Zhao Xiaohe was a little annoyed, "It's also strange that I didn't ask Lagen much about Yongbo before." ”

It turned out that it was Zhao Yongjia, Zhao Lagen's sixteen-year-old daughter, who had just called Zhao Xiaohe, saying that she overheard her father and brother on the phone, and learned that her brother had sneaked out before the lockdown in Wuhan and had returned to Qinglan, afraid that the village would know that he was not allowed to enter the village from Wuhan.

[Note: Zhaojiazhou is surrounded by water, and there used to be many people who relied on water to eat, such as fishing for shrimp and picking snails. After the ban was issued, the fishing boats in the village were all centralized, leaving only a few small snail pickers on the east and west beaches in case of emergencies on the water. ]

She thought that this was not feasible, and when she saw that the large group had announced the phone numbers of the cardholders in the east and west of the village for the convenience of the people, she secretly dialed Zhao Xiaohe's phone and reported her father's behavior. was afraid that his father would know and be scolded, so he repeatedly begged Zhao Xiaohe not to tell her about the report.

"It's useless for you to ask, according to Yongjia's words, Bacheng didn't even know that Yongbo went to Wuhan before that. Zhao Sanfu was silent for a few seconds before he continued to speak, "This river fishes cubs, this juncture goes to Wuhan, and this juncture runs back to Zhaojiazhou, it's really a pitfall." Anyway, it's useless to talk about this now, we must pay special attention to it! Since we are rowing across the river to pick up people, we must wait until it gets dark. In this way, after dark, I asked Jiacheng to go to the vicinity of Lagen's house to keep an eye on. As soon as Lagan came to the south embankment, we stopped him and forbade him to row. ”

"Good. By the way, uncle, Yongjia repeatedly begged me not to tell me about her calling me, saying that if her father knew about it, he would beat her......"

"I know. You and I just need to know about it. Okay, I'll call Jiacheng. ”

Seeing that Zhao Sanfu hung up the phone, Zhao Xiaohe stood on the bank of the south embankment, looking at the calm river.

At this time, he was inexplicably panicked.

Zhao Huaxiang's son-in-law is registered in Wuhan, but he has not been to Wuhan in half a year; looking at Zhao Kun's appearance, he has not told a lie; these two are false alarms, but at this time, Zhao Yongbo really came from Wuhan, or escaped on the eve of Wuhan's lockdown, and it is no longer a false alarm.

"Village chief, Xiaohe, what's wrong with you, what's going on?"

Zhao Wenrong and Zhao Huiwen were not at ease in the end, and when they saw that no one else was approaching the stuck point, they ran to the edge of the south embankment together to inquire about Zhao Xiaohe.

"It's fine. Zhao Xiaohe responded, turning around and going up the embankment.

Before Zhao Yongbo's matter was completely confirmed, he couldn't say it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhao Huiwen and the others didn't ask much, but just raised their mobile phones and said: "The cancellation of the New Year's Festival has been announced in the big group." Our hanging heart can also be considered to be able to land. ”

They all supported the abolition of the New Year's Festival.

"Huaxiang's gang is really rich! They donated 200,000 yuan overnight! Tut-tut, I'm afraid this money is just a drop in the bucket for them. Zhao Fangrong's eyes kept glued to the list of donations on the screen of his phone.

Zhao Xiaohe immediately shook his head when he heard this: "Actually, Huaxiang is not as rich as you think, he is just keen on public welfare activities in the village." ”

"It's also quite cost-effective to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a good reputation. ”

"Hey, don't you be so sour? Why don't you spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a good reputation? You are really a person, people obviously just want to do something real for the people of Zhaojiazhou, you have to find so many reasons for others to talk about people so vulgar. Zhao Huiwen laughed at Zhao Fangrong.

"Okay, okay, it's my vulgarity, I'm vulgar, right?" also realized that he really had the intention of blaspheming others when he said such things, Zhao Fangrong admitted his mistake with a smile, and turned the topic to the wine and dishes prepared by each family for the New Year's festival.

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to buy jacquard and chickens in the third year of junior high school, so I have seven jacquard frozen in the refrigerator, ten chickens, eight ducks in the yard, and a tank of fish. Shiitake mushrooms, fungus, dried bamboo shoots, bean curd, kelp, purple and purple have been hoarded a lot, and now I don't do wine, so many dishes, it's really terrible. ”

"Isn't it the same in my house? I have stockpiled 300 eggs and duck eggs alone. Zhao Huiwen clapped her hands and laughed, "My wife said that in the future, one person will eat two hard-boiled eggs for breakfast every morning." ”

"What is this?" Zhao Xiaohe laughed, "You don't know that the three pigs killed by the old secretary's family in 2526 years old, the pig's head, pig's tail, pig's trotters, and the intestines to attract wealth and fortune and the wind and twelve jacquard were not sold, all frozen in the freezer, and half of the pork was frozen, all to keep the wine for the third year of junior high school." Now the old secretary eats for two, and he doesn't have to buy meat for at least half a year. ”

[Note: Jacquard refers to the pig's thigh, Zhaocai refers to the pig's tongue, and Shunfeng refers to the pig's ear.] ]

"He is worthy of being the number one old secretary, and he is even a well-known leader in hoarding vegetables. ”

Zhao Fangrong's words made both of them laugh.

As he was talking, Zhao Sanfu's wife Chunxiang rode a small tricycle to deliver food to them.

"Auntie, I heard that your family has a refrigerator full of meat, but how can you finish it?" Zhao Fangrong squatted in the corner, and asked Chunxiang who was resting on the tricycle with a smile while eating.

"Where's a fridge? and a freezer full of freezers." Chunxiang answered with a wry smile, "There is also a bar of cured meat." ”

[Note: Zhaojiazhou people dry bacon is to first divide the meat into pieces, wear a rope on the head, and directly tie the neck of the chicken and duck with a rope, marinate it with salt for a period of time, and then wait for fine weather to hang them on the bamboo pole to dry, until the water is dried and the oil is dried. They call a bamboo pole a bar, and a bar of cured meat does not completely refer to a bamboo pole of bacon, but refers to a lot of cured meat. ]

"If you can't finish eating, invite us to eat. ”

"Okay, no problem. Chunxiang was very talkative, and immediately invited with a smile, "When this infectious disease is gone, I will ask Sanfu to invite you all to drink wine and eat meat at home until I finish eating all my meat, okay? It's better to eat in your stomach than to waste." ”

Zhao Fangrong and Zhao Huiwen both laughed.

Zhao Xiaohe, who was in a heavy mood, laughed when he heard this, as if the victory of the epidemic was in front of him, and the opportunity to drink and eat meat was also in front of him.

After eating, as the last afterglow of the sunset disappeared on the river, the sky gradually darkened, and the cold slowly became heavier, Zhao Xiaohe didn't feel cold, but walked back and forth a little impatiently, glancing at the south river from time to time, until the river was completely dark, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

He was a little impatient, and in the group of five village cadres, he asked Zhao Jiacheng if he was staring near Lagen's house.

[I was sitting in Zhiliang's corridor, and I didn't see Lagen come out]-Zhao Jiacheng responded.

Zhao Zhiliang and Zhao Lagen are neighbors before and after, and from the window of his building, you can clearly see every move of Lagen's house.

[Everyone hasn't slept so early, he definitely won't sneak to the south river, it's going to be a little later, I'll squint for a while, and call me if there's a situation]-Zhao Wenming said.

Thinking of Zhao Wenming's shift in the middle of the night, Zhao Xiaohe didn't speak in the group anymore.

The village slowly quieted down, but Zhao Xiaohe's heart became more and more restless, glancing at his mobile phone from time to time, and pacing to the edge of the south embankment from time to time to take a look—in fact, the river was already pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"I smoke a cigarette. ”

After saying goodbye to Zhao Fangrong and the others, he sat down along the edge of the south embankment, took off his mask, and smoked his first cigarette of the day.

His addiction to smoking is actually very big, but he has always remembered Zhao Sanfu's advice and has not touched the cigarette, he is really irritable at this time, and he can't help it.

While smoking, he clicked on WeChat, and saw that there was unread information in the five crowds, so he quickly clicked in.

It's Li Hongying's voice - [Lagen is still at home now? can't he? He reported 10,000 catties of radishes here in Jianguo, and left in the early morning, now the pneumonia is so serious, he can't ask anyone to help pull the turnips, so he can only do it by himself, and he is pulling it out in the afternoon, and he can't finish pulling it out without working overtime, how can he not go out until now?]

[But the lights in his house have been on, I thought—it's broken, I'll go see it now]—Zhao Jiaying was surprised.

Zhao Xiaohe suddenly became nervous, and immediately ran to the place where the boat was parked at Dongdantou under the south bridge.

He thought that Zhao Lagen would take advantage of the fact that everyone was asleep, walk from the drainage canal to the south embankment, row a boat to pick up his son, but now he understands that Zhao Lagen has long planned to avoid the drainage canal that is easy to be discovered, and row from the radish field in the east of the village to the east stall under the south bridge to pick up his son - there are snail fishing boats at the east and west stalls of the south bridge, and they slip down from the east stall to cross the river to pick up people, and the people who guard the card in the east of the village can't see it at all.

At that time, Zhao Lagen took his son from the east stall to the radish field, and then quietly drove his son home with a Futian tricycle - because he often had to pull the radishes, and the radishes were heavy, the vegetable farmers of Zhaojiazhou almost drove a tricycle to the vegetable field, put some radishes on the car, and squatted one or two people, ordinary people would not pay attention at all.

Zhaojiazhou people sell radishes are sent to the market wholesale in the early morning, in order to sell fresh at a good price, people often work overtime to pull radishes in the vegetable field, after all, as long as there is a little light can pull radishes. It is not uncommon for them to serve the vegetable patch in the evening.

[Oops, there is really no one in the Lagen family, I'll go to the east of the village to have a look now]-Zhao Jiacheng sent a message.

[Let's come to the East Beach] - By the night, Zhao Xiaohe, who was squatting not far from the snail boat at the east beachhead, had already seen a vague shadow walking towards the snail boat.

Thin, tall, and slightly hunched figure, who else is not Zhao Lagen?
