"What's the matter, Xiao Jin, why are you back?" Qing Ling was puzzled, but the tacit understanding between them made her understand that Xiao Jin must have discovered something. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info put down his towel and opened the door to go out to see what was going on.

Luo Shengnan heard the movement and asked, "What's wrong Xiaofang?"

"There seems to be movement on the other side of the stairs. Qingling hurriedly rolled down her sleeves and hid Xiaojin inside. Luckily, the kerosene lamp was dim, and unless her night vision was very good, she couldn't see that she still had a snake wrapped around her wrist.

"I'll take a lantern and take a look. Luo Shengnan was worried that it was a mouse, and last time a fat mouse broke the screen window of his vegetable cabinet. I went into the house and came out with a kerosene lamp that I could carry, and I first stood at the door and listened with my ears pricked up, and then I did hear a sound on the other side of the stairwell, and then walked over lightly.

At this glance, I was taken aback: "Xu Lang's family, what are you doing with my cabinet!"

It turned out to be a resident on the first floor, seeing that the Zhang family had received so much food today, although most of them were locked in the house by Luo Shengnan, the leftover white flour cakes filled with leeks and eggs were washed and locked directly in the cabinet with screen doors in the stairwell. Unexpectedly, even such a few cakes can attract people who pry the cupboard.

Xu Lang's daughter-in-law was already gobbling up the second cake, and when Luo Shengnan drank it, she choked in her throat with fright, and poured a large mouthful of water to ease up.

"Shall I not eat your bread, as for those who shout and scream? Xu Lang's daughter-in-law snorted angrily, pretended to move to her own stove, took a rag and wiped it again and again, "I said Xiao Luo, you have so many chickens at home, I didn't go outside to publicize it." If the neighborhood committee knew that you were stealing chickens in the bungalow below, what do you think they would do with you? ”

This is blatant blackmail.

Luo Shengnan's face was so angry that he couldn't think of the right words for a while.

Although she kept the chickens in the utility room bungalow, she was not the only one who did this, but the people in the building had all raised them secretly. Who's got the chicken and slaughtered it right away? That's too much of a loser. At least until the end of the Chinese New Year. But this is all done in private, and it is true that she is unreasonable to shout out.

"Sister-in-law, where is the neighborhood committee? Why don't I ask them tomorrow, isn't it forbidden to eat meat in the city? I am not allowed to bring two pheasants to my brother and sister-in-law to fight for tooth sacrifices?"

"Who are you? a little girl, I'm talking to Xiao Luo, when did it take your turn to interject?" Xu Lang's daughter-in-law scolded.

Qingling smiled, ignored her, took Luo Shengnan's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, we don't have the same knowledge as these people with low ideological awareness, we have reason who we are afraid of." I would like to ask the neighborhood committee, how should this situation be handled? Don't tell me that this is the new style of people in the city, I have never seen a person in the countryside who steals other people's things and has such a strong confidence, so I am shameless. ”

"Poof......

"Poof......

There were a series of sullen laughter at the top of the stairs, presumably the neighbors who heard the movement and opened the door.

Xu Lang's daughter-in-law was embarrassed, and fled back to her house with a red face: "Why don't you eat a few bites of cold cakes?

"Let's disperse! At night, I don't think the oil lamp costs oil. The woman who had a good relationship with Luo Shengnan dispersed the melon-eating crowd watching the play, turned her head and whispered to Luo Shengnan, "Yesterday, many people saw that your family got two more chickens, and there were more people with pink eye." According to me, it's better to slaughter it as soon as possible, lest the neighborhood committee hear the rumors and come to the truth. Don't be in a hurry to eat, it's good to make smoked chicken, steam a few slices of smoked chicken for your kid to eat at every now and then......"

"Well, I'll discuss it with Lao Zhang when I go back. Luo Shengnan thanked her and pulled Qingling upstairs to go back to the house.

Qingling also persuaded her to kill the chicken: "Sister-in-law, this chicken was caught in the mountains, it didn't cost a penny, and it was brought up to let you make up for your body, what are you keeping to keep it for? ”

A wry smile tugged at the corner of Luo Shengnan's mouth. She didn't want to slaughter and eat it. But isn't that a happy event for my mother's family, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law are pregnant with a second child, and the expected date of delivery is a year or a year, and I can't think of what to send, so I want to keep the chicken for the New Year, and then buy two catties of brown sugar, one chicken in one hand, two packets of brown sugar in the other, and my face is also bright when I bring it back......

Qingling said: "I have to wait for the New Year to give gifts, and I will find a way to ......bring two pheasants when I go back."

"Don't!" Luo Shengnan thought that she was going to risk being taken away by wolves and go into the mountains to catch chickens, so he quickly interrupted, "Alas, I just have a good face, and I always feel that going back to my mother's house and not mentioning some decent etiquette will be talked about." In fact, the tickets that Lao Zhang left for me are very good, sugar tickets, fish tickets, and tofu tickets, and I am not willing to eat them...... Forget it, I'll boil the pot of water early tomorrow morning, and kill the chicken downstairs first, just when you are going to the Gangzi army, bring him half of the white cut chicken. A few of you eat over there, so you don't have to buy more meat and vegetables...... You bring one of the two live ones to Gangzi, and I pickled the other one to make smoked chicken, and I will go back to make up for the Yanzi sisters and brothers......"

After Luo Shengnan was assigned, he drove Qingling back to the room to sleep.

Xiao Jin waited for everyone to lie down before sneaking out of Zhang's house again. This time, there were no more accidents, and I had a full meal, and when I returned, it was almost dawn.

The tube went up and down, and gradually became lively again.

Seeing Luo Shengnan's boiling water and fading chicken feathers, the aunt of the neighborhood committee who came to check when she heard the wind, it was not easy for everyone to say anything, everyone's life was not easy, and she praised "This chicken is strong", this stubble is in the past.

Luo Shengnan sighed, washed the whole chicken with his hands and feet, and before Qingling went out, he cooked the chicken, cut half of it, wrapped it in clean oil paper, put it in a breathable cloth bag, and let the girl carry it away.

As for the live chickens, Qingling insisted on refusing to bring them.

Originally, it was sent to the senior brother's family to eat, but there was no reason to wait for one night and then take it away.

With a basket on his back, he pulled Zhang Haiyan and ran out of the tube building happily. Ignoring the cooing pheasant.

"Forget it, that girl has a heart, you can chase after it, lest the upstairs and downstairs hear it and cause unnecessary trouble. Zhang Yuejun saw that his wife was picking up the chicken and wanted to chase it out, so he hurriedly stopped it.

Luo Shengnan heard that it made sense, and at the same time he was worried: "But now that the neighborhood committee is keeping an eye on it, it can't be raised in a bungalow, so you can't keep feeding it like this, then the house can't stink to death." ”

"Kill it. If you can't send it to your mother's house in time, you will marinate it and make smoked chicken. If you can stay until the Chinese New Year, smoked chicken for the New Year's Festival, can't you?"
