Chapter 17 is the New Year
They searched the house very carefully, and the people outside also searched the yard, and we did not let go of the coal shed, the toilet, and the firewood stacks piled in the snow, and we fiddled with sticks, all kinds of corners, and all the snowdrifts outside, but in the end we found nothing.
I saw Ouyang Sheng's expression of eating, and I was so happy in my heart! And the informant knew that there was cold sweat on his forehead, obviously scared.
My grandfather was not angry on the side, and smiled: "How is it, are you satisfied?
"No, it must be hidden here!" the young man shouted loudly, "It's definitely hidden here! Maybe it's buried in the ground, it's buried in the yard!" he pointed to my vegetable garden.
I smiled and said, "Then you go dig it, if we really hid something last night, can there be no trace at all? Why do I think it's so funny?"
My grandfather said, "It's freezing cold, the ground is so hard, you still have to dig, you can't die of exhaustion." ”
Everyone looked at the land over there, and they all frowned and said nothing, if we moved, we would be able to see it, but the snow in our grass garden has not been touched since the beginning of winter, and there is no trace of being dug up at all.
The man still didn't give up, thought for a while and shouted: "I know! It must be hiding at Mr. Zhao's house! Didn't you say that you were going to pick up Mr. Zhao? Maybe you just hid over there!"
My grandfather scolded: "Scold, you young man is really lacking in virtue and smoking! If you want to search Mr. Zhao's house, it's okay, if you can't find it, don't blame me for saying something ugly!"
Mr. Zhao frowned: "Everyone has seen my room, there is a place to hide things, if you don't believe it, go search it." I don't have anything to say, but when the old man came to me yesterday, he didn't have any silver dollars with him. I vouch for it with my life. ”
I looked at Mr. Zhao and was grateful.
More than half of these people have given up a little, are not ready to participate in this matter, and want to escape, but a few still refuse to give up. After discussing it, I went to Mr. Zhao to find it again.
My grandfather didn't object, anyway, that's it, it's all about being innocent of himself, just do it.
Mr. Zhao also went with him, but he didn't let me go, let me watch the house at home; "Cook well, cook a pot of ginger soup, and I'll come back and drink it." ”
I promised, if I left, it would be bad if bad people came into our house and smashed and robbed.
My grandfather followed Mr. Zhao and left with these people.
When I entered the house, I realized that my clothes were soaking wet, and I was really nervous.
Grandpa, how the hell are you hiding?
I lit the stove and steamed the corn buns first, and since Mr. Zhao came, he naturally wanted to welcome it, take in the dried fish, stew it with potatoes and cabbage, and then cut the ginger shreds and boiled ginger soup.
I've been messed up in my heart, and I don't know what happened to my grandfather, will those people get angry and arrest my grandfather and torture him? No, I clenched the kitchen knife tightly, I was really nervous, and my heart kept rising to my throat.
The meal was ready, and the ginger soup had been boiling for a long time before I heard the sound of the door opening.
I ran out in surprise, and when I saw my grandfather and Mr. Zhao coming in one after the other, I was relieved to see the two of them: "It's nothing, right?"
"It's nothing, it's just hungry. ”
"Wash your hands and eat. I'm done, I'm going to set the table!"
My grandfather said yes and went inside.
Mr. Zhao went to wash his hands and change a pair, and when I made the table, I cautiously asked, "Where are you hiding?"
"I hid in the toilet of Mr. Zhao's house. ”
"Huh?" I was surprised, "they must have searched for it, right?
"How can they take a serious look at that kind of dirty place?" My grandfather went to their house last night, and while he was in the toilet, he took down the bag of silver dollars and tied it to the board under the toilet. Suspended in mid-air.
"They pushed the door in and looked at it, and where did they think it would hang on the stool? If you want to see it, you have to stick your head into the pit. Luckily, the pickles were frozen in the winter, otherwise I would have been unlucky. "Grandpa was triumphant.
I frowned and said, "Grandpa, don't say it, it's really disgusting." ”
Grandpa laughed: "Don't say it." I've got it back. After speaking, he untied his padded jacket, and the bag on his waist was bulging with silver dollars.
I really admired my grandfather to death, and in front of so many people who came to search, the silver dollar was unknowingly recovered.
"Where are we hiding this thing?"
"Whatever you want. My grandfather went to wash his hands: "They have come to make trouble, and they definitely don't have the courage to come a second time, just now Ouyang Sheng also cleaned up that turtle grandson well! It's his cheapness! I think it's okay to please those cadres, and if it has no use value, it's bad luck! Just don't let these guys live in!"
Anyway, they don't steal chickens and rice, and they really deserve it.
I think this thing should have something to do with Gao Haisheng, what this guy is best at is beating the side drum, but he will never do it himself, and he won't be able to find him when the time comes, it's just a shameless one.
The food I cooked was hot, and Mr. Zhao's eyes lit up at that time, and he ate a lot, but he was still the same as the previous cabin, not good at words, but his expression was obviously much better. As for whether Mr. Zhao knew about this, none of us asked. Anyway, let's do it.
He said, "If you are willing to take me in, I have nothing to give you in return, and when I can help in the future, I will not give it away, and if I can make up for my salary for those years, I will definitely give it to you." ”
"That's what you see. We didn't help you for your money, besides, you also saw it, if you don't come, someone else comes, the house is empty, don't talk about this, eat!" My grandfather said that he sandwiched a large piece of fish meat for him.
Mr. Zhao nodded, but he didn't say anything.
The silver dollar was hidden by us for the time being, and the wind was too tight to move.
The gold necklace was better hidden, I removed the inside of the padded jacket, sewed a hidden pocket, and hid it close to my body, no one would have known.
The people in the village talked a lot about it, and they all said that we stole the silver dollars, and the number of people who went there to dig them continued unabated, and they all thought that we were lucky, and they would too. But there is no shadow of a silver dollar at all, and it's funny to think about it.
It is estimated that Yang Dabao is about to vomit blood, and this matter can't be stuffed into our family, how depressed should we be? Later, all these educated youths went to live in the village committee. The villagers who were named also breathed a sigh of relief.
It's completely different from the results in my previous life, and I'm very relieved to hear it, stay away and don't disturb me.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, the people in the village began to prepare New Year's goods, these families are generally poor, but how to pull a piece of fabric to make new clothes, get some flour to make dumplings or something, it is also lively.
Our family is not in a hurry, in two days, someone from the county will come to give New Year's gifts, they are all used to it. I started changing clothes at home, and the last time I changed that dress, I thought it worked pretty well. When I put it on, my grandfather felt quite energetic.
I simply found out some very old clothes and changed them for my grandfather and Mr. Zhao.
Seeing that I like to change clothes, Mr. Zhao found me a few film magazines, which are from the Soviet Union: "Many people here have beautiful clothes. If you like to make clothes, take a look. ”
I smiled and took it, "Thank you! But I didn't find this thing that day?"
"Well, when they first came knocking on the door, your grandfather reminded me that I wrapped up all the bad books and wrapped them around my body. ”
It dawned on me and I laughed, "That's great." ”
Mr. Zhao hummed, didn't say anything more, and left. He's really a man of words.
The children of the Lin family were saved by my grandfather, and their family was very grateful, but it was probably because they were worried that Yang Dabao would be unhappy, so they quietly sent some frozen meat overnight, saying that it was wild boar meat caught in the forest, which was a thank you gift to us.
My grandfather didn't accept it politely, and their family became my first friend.
On the twenty-second day of the Lunar New Year, when I got up in the morning, my grandfather said that he would go to the tofu factory to buy a plate of tofu and keep it for the New Year.
"Croquettes, steamed buns and dumplings, and mixed vegetables, I thought about buying more. Anyway, it can't be broken if it's freezing outside. ”
I said yes and said I wanted to go with my grandfather.
"No, Mr. Zhao also followed me, and he had to call the people at home by the way. Take care of your own home. ”
I agreed, made something to eat, ate them and left.
I don't have any good feelings for myself, so I put a magazine on the kang and read it page by page, I have seen these things in my previous life, but now I still look very good, when will we rural people be able to wear these clothes that show our figures, not wear fat gray, blue and black?
Just as I was thinking about it, someone outside shouted, "Someone's home, right? I'm in?"
This voice is very familiar, it is the second Aunt Song who thought I was going to die and wanted to pass her son on to me? What is this slut doing here? I hid the magazine under the mattress, but after hesitation, I pulled it out again.
I couldn't let this girl see it, so I rolled it up and stuffed it into my sleeve, and when I walked out, the door was opened by the woman.
I blocked her with a cold face: "What are you doing here?"
"Oops, why are you reacting like this?" Second Aunt Song smiled: "I know you were unhappy about what happened last time, but it was all a misunderstanding, I forgot about it!"
