Yang Xiaohong felt that she couldn't be so cheap rice field fruit, and last night Lao Wang went home and counted her down, saying that she could eat a lot of things when she ate idle meals, and she was not born to be a fuel-efficient lamp. Then, Lao Wang's fingers turned from Yang Xiaohong's sweaty nose to her drooping belly, "Look here again!" The janitor of our unit, Sister Li, is not as big as your belly. Since you got married, look at your lazy appearance, in addition to eating melon seeds all day long, you just stand under the root of other people's walls and chew the root of your tongue, even a child can't look at what else can you do? Why don't you lose yourself? Sue you Yang Xiaohong, if you continue to fall like this, I will separate from you! ”

Without the support of her neighbors, Yang Xiaohong didn't even dare to fart in front of Lao Wang, today's incident is indeed her mistake first, if Lao Wang really separates, not to mention the embarrassment, she is a housewife who has been away from the work unit for many years and wants to eat. Endured a stomach full of grievances and climbed into bed, Yang Xiaohong was thinking about how to "repair" Tian Guo, but she was stupid and couldn't think of a good idea, so she gritted her teeth and lay down all night, her hair was about to turn white.

Who would have thought that when he came back from buying vegetables at noon, he heard from his neighbor that "Yadan's family lost something, and it was suspected that Yonedaguo stole it". Yang Xiaohong felt that the opportunity had come.

Yoneda Guo, you dared to bully the old lady yesterday, and today you are dead!

Spit out the skin of the melon seeds in her mouth, Yang Xiaohong cleared her throat and shouted defiantly into the courtyard: "Yadan, this is the end of this matter?" Oh, you're really a bodhisattva. If I were to see the sesame oil ticket today, I would definitely not be finished with her! ”

"Xiaohong, you don't have to say a word!" Wu Zhen looked at her with a cold face, "This one has just been persuaded, Tian Guo still has to go to work in the afternoon, and the girl's mother is old, isn't it just a sesame oil ticket, as for the quarrel between the neighbors?" Besides, who saw that this thing was taken by someone else's Tian Guo? ”

Everyone didn't speak, the Niu family was the old man in this alley, and his words naturally carried more weight than others, seeing Wu Zhen looking at Mi Tianguo like this, Yang Xiaohong pursed her lips and muttered: "Even if she didn't steal it, this thing was taken by her, and she is always responsible." ”

Wu Zhen said: "Whether there is responsibility or not, we have to wait for the police station to investigate clearly, don't wronged a good person, and don't let go of a bad person, anyway, it can't be fake, and the thief who stole things will definitely find it!" ”

"Yes, yes." The neighbors nodded in agreement, Wu Zhen walked into the courtyard and said to the maid's mother: "Don't be too anxious, although the sesame oil ticket is expensive, it is not as expensive as your own body, and no one can bear that sin for you if you are angry." Another word of heart-wrenching, Tianguo's child, I understand, is a strange temper, but by no means a person who steals chickens and dogs, isn't it just a sesame oil ticket, our unit issued two taels during the May Day holiday, and now there is one or two left, which is useless, and I will bring it to you in a while. ”

"That's embarrassing." The girl's eyes lit up, and her heart blossomed. Wu Zhen patted her hand and said familiarly: "Old sister, we are neighbors, it is appropriate to help each other, you eat first, and I will send you the sesame oil ticket in the afternoon." ”

Under the leadership of Wu Zhen, the neighbors persuaded each other with kind words, and after a while, the kung fu girl smiled happily, picked up the cloth bag and filled a little peanuts and ran to Tian Guo's house to compensate Tian Guo's grandmother. A courtyard became harmonious again.

Under the big locust tree, Yang Xiaohong sighed deeply, knowing that this fight could not be fought, and the melon seeds were all blocked in her throat, as if she had a mouthful of phlegm that could not be spit out. The tadpole glanced at her lightly and said a fair word: "Sister Hong, why did you intensify the conflict if you didn't persuade you just now?" Tian Guo just got your daughter back yesterday, you are not grateful, why are you still beating up? Let's say, did your ancestors have a traitor, that is, the kind that the people can't be influenced no matter how they are influenced? ”

"Tadpoles, stay where you go!" Yang Xiaohong couldn't hang up on her face, why did she suddenly become the enemy of the whole people?

The tadpole grinned, pointed to the leafy old locust tree above his head, and said with a wicked smile: "The whole alley is the coolest here, I'll stay here, I'm not happy to listen to you!" ”

It's a woman after all, Yang Xiaohong doesn't tease the poor with tadpoles, her face was blue and white with anger, she tied the melon seed bag in her hand, turned around and left, and when she stepped into her yard, the tadpole behind her said meaningfully: "Sister Hong, be kind in the future." ”

*******

The police station was very busy, and the small room was crowded with the people who came to do business, including those who had registered for the household registration, those who transferred their household registration, those who cancelled their household registration, those who were looking for people, those who reported their disappearance, and those who asked for directions compared to the heavy criminal case, the matter of losing sesame oil tickets was simply not worth mentioning, and the little comrade in charge of the reception was not very enthusiastic and waved to Yoneda Guo, who had been waiting at the door for half an hour: "You reported that the person is missing?" ”

The little comrade has a flat head, a square face, and is in his early twenties.

"It's not missing, it's something missing at home." Tian Guo hurriedly ran in and said.

The girl didn't want to go in, she felt unlucky, and stood outside the door with her hands on her hips.

Behind the desk, the little comrade held an old fountain pen that spit blue ink, rummaged through the drawer for a long time before pulling out a crumpled piece of horizontal letterhead, and while trying the pen, he asked impatiently: "What have you lost?" Big, small? Gold, silver, copper, iron? Isn't it worth the money? ”

"It's worth a lot, but I lost the sesame oil ticket."

"Huh?" It was too noisy around, and the little comrade didn't hear it clearly.

Tian Guo shouted again: "The sesame oil ticket is lost!" ”

This time the voice was loud again, and the spit sprayed the little comrade's face, and the little comrade was very unhappy, thinking that it was just a sesame oil ticket, where is it worth our trip? Put the paper and pen in front of Tian Guo, point to the letter paper with his fingertips, and said: "Well, write it clearly here, what you lost, when you lost it, what was the general situation at the time, write as detailed as possible, and then leave the address and name, and go to the house where you are registered to call me after you finish writing." ”

In '84 and '85, we are catching up with the peak of population births, and the police station is very busy every day. The leaders were afraid that it would be easy to get involved with other cases, so they temporarily changed the original utility room into an office dedicated to household registration. The little comrade is very busy, one person is used for three people, and he has not even drunk a sip of hot water since the morning, let alone lunch.

Yang Yang wrote a full article, Tian Guo came out after handing in the list, and the girl pouted unhappily: "What are you rubbing for such a long time?" ”

"Write a statement of the situation." I haven't written for a long time, and Tian Guo is so tired that his wrist hurts. The two left the police station, and there happened to be a beef noodle restaurant opened by Muslims at the corner of the street. Tian Guo walked in with Ya Dan, Ya Dan was not polite, and ordered a large portion of beef noodles plus a small plate of cucumbers, she thought this was what Mi Tian Guo should do, who told her to lose the sesame oil ticket.

"Is a bowl of beef noodles enough, do you need to order anything else?" Tian Guo was afraid that she would not be able to eat enough.

Looking at the change and food stamps wrapped in a handkerchief in Tian Guo's hand, the girl suddenly felt sorry in her heart, what are you doing, bullying a difficult household with a monthly salary of only twenty and nodding!

"You save some money." Yadan pouted. In fact, she has now analyzed and understood, this sesame oil ticket is definitely not taken by Tian Guo. When she was sitting in a corner of the restaurant waiting for the beef noodles, Ya Dan finally couldn't hold back and said, "Sister Tian Guo, did you drop that ticket somewhere?" When you go home, look carefully, in the drawers, by the pot, under the cupboard, under the bed, anyway, look at the corners, in case you don't lose it. ”

"There was no earthquake yesterday, and the envelope was in the drawer, and when I took it out in the morning, it was exactly the same as the place I put it in yesterday, and all the other tickets were there, except for the sesame oil ticket. It's really strange, there were only two people in the house yesterday, my grandmother and I, no one had touched the envelope, and the fuel ticket didn't have wings on it, and it could still fly by itself? "Tian Guo analysis and analysis, I always feel that an important link has been missed.

At this time, the girl said "Huh", as if she wanted to understand, "Sister Tian Guo, Wang Xiaoyue was still at your house yesterday!" ”

Tian Guo slapped the table, yes, Wang Xiaoyue! It seems that all the problems are solved at this moment, and this should be the answer, after eating yesterday, grandma and her chatted in the kitchen for a long time, and Wang Xiaoyue has time to commit crimes. Tian Guo chuckled in his heart, and then the window waiter shouted: "Master No. 11 receives the meal, two bowls of beef noodles, and a plate of cucumbers!" ”

"Here we go!" Tian Guo hurriedly ran to get the meal. When she came back, Ya Dan began to talk endlessly about Wang Xiaoyue's motives and methods of committing the crime, "She must have taken it, the child was fast, and quietly slipped his hand in along the crack of the drawer and took out the envelope" Tian Guo's ears were buzzing, looking at Ya Xing, who had opened and closed his mouth one by one, and Yaxing, who had completely lost his food, Wang Xiaoyue's cute smiling face appeared in front of him.

Really, is it her?

"Girl."

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry for you."

Yadan didn't know what Tian Guo was going to say, and her heart was full of vigilance. Tian Guo smiled and said, "Now the case has not been investigated clearly, what we just said - it is about Wang Xiaoyue, swallow it in your stomach after you go back, don't tell others, especially your mother." Xiaoyue is still young, just five years old, in case she gets it wrong, the child will be wronged. ”

After thinking about it, Ya Dan felt that it was reasonable, she had wronged Tian Guo just now, if she had wronged Wang Xiaoyue impulsively this time, how could her family still live in the alley? What's more, Wang Xiaoyue and her mother Yang Xiaohong are still so fierce! Tian Guo is an adult who has endured a lot today, so Yang Xiaohong is the master who can spill.

"Okay, Sister Tian Guo, I'll listen to you!"

*****

After returning home, Tian Guo thought about it and always felt unsteady in his heart, so he walked around the house several times with a heavy heart, took some money from the drawer and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, and went out again.

Twenty minutes later, Tian Guo walked into the police station with two catties of apples in her hand, and the little comrade who had received her at noon was standing in the yard smoking a cigarette.

"Little comrade!" She walked over with a smile on her face.

"You are" received too many people in one day, and the little comrade couldn't remember everyone, but he had a little impression of Tian Guo, after all, fashionably dressed young people are rare in this alley.

The so-called fashionable dress is to wear flared jeans and floral shirts similar to those of American street youth.

"You remember me, don't you?"

"Oh, a little impression, isn't it the one who lost the sesame oil ticket?"

Tian Guo nodded again and again: "That's right, it's me, this time I'm here to withdraw the case." ”

Dismissal? The little comrade was stunned for a moment, pinched his cigarette and pointed at the police station, "Go inside and talk about it in detail." The two entered the house, and after sitting down, Tian Guo told him the lines he had thought of before: "I looked for it carefully after I got home, and the sesame oil ticket fell into the crack of the drawer board, and I didn't lose it at all!" Pretending to be happy, he smiled twice, and put the apple between himself and the little comrade - closer to the little comrade, and the meaning was self-evident: "Since the sesame oil ticket has been found, I think I won't trouble you anymore, you have worked hard enough this day, and when the time comes, I won't want to go away." ”

"Oh, there's nothing hard or not, serve the people!" Originally, the little comrade also felt that it was not worth it to have to ride a bicycle and run around in the sun for a sesame oil ticket, but now Tian Guo took the initiative to withdraw the case to really help him a lot, and he spoke politely, "Be careful when you put things in the future, fortunately this is found, if you can't find it, how anxious is you?" ”

"Yes, yes." Tian Guo responded, wrote a withdrawal note in accordance with the police station process, and prepared to get up and leave.

"Wait a minute, this is," the little comrade pointed to the apple in the bag, and stopped talking. Actually, I know it very well, but I still have to ask clearly.

Tian Guo smiled sweetly, pushed the apple forward again, and said: "Don't think about it, this is not a gift, it is a little respect for the hard work of our people's servants, you must accept it, if you don't accept it, you will make a bad face to our masses, come on, you are busy, don't delay your work, I'll go first." ”

Walking out of the police station, the big stone that pressed on Tian Guo's heart finally fell to the ground. Out of the alley, she bought a pound of strawberries and two pounds of apples in the vegetable market, and when she returned to the Arctic Pavilion Erjo, she went directly to Niu Huanran's house.
