After Qiao Mai and her daughter Chen Lanzhi finished eating, they packed up the dishes and put them in the cupboard of the stove house, and then sat in the hall with their daughter in their arms and watched the Spring Festival Gala seriously.

Little did she know that an old rat had slipped in at the back door of her house.

After Hong Xiao'e left, she originally planned to go home, but she was afraid of being scolded, so she wanted to go to the second child's house to have a look.

As a result, the second family actually opened the door, she ran to the house next door to ask, and was actually told that Chen Yong took his son and mother-in-law to her father-in-law's house last night, and heard that the Chinese New Year was also there.

At that time, Mrs. Hong was really good, and she almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.

She knew that the second child must be afraid that Chen Taikang would ask him for money after knowing the truth, so he simply took a salary from the bottom of the kettle and left his family directly.

The second family couldn't count on it, she was still making excuses for Chen Yong in her heart, and angrily scolded Chen Wei, Chen Yuezhi and others, feeling that the boss was disobedient, and Li Qingxia was provoking it inside.

It's just that now the children of the Chen family have become more powerful, and she has suffered a few losses in her hands with Guihua, and she doesn't dare to make trouble again, and then she thinks about the actions of the third family, but she is obviously there, but she doesn't open the door, and she becomes angry.

You Qiao Wheat won't let me in, right, I want to go in!

So there is such an old mouse stealing food.

She took advantage of the opportunity of Qiao Mai watching the Spring Festival Gala in the hall and laughing straight down, and sneaked into the stove house.

As soon as Mrs. Hong opened the cupboard, her eyes were straight, there were so many delicious foods, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, she quickly tore off a chicken leg with her hand and gnawed it first.

Originally, she only brought a large sea bowl. But now it is obviously not enough to fit, and while eating, I look indiscriminately, and I see a broken basket next to the stove.

Mrs. Hong's eyes lit up immediately, picked up the basket, poured out the leaves inside, and began to put all the dishes and dishes in the cupboard in the basket. Finish with your own headscarf. He covered the basket and ran away the way he came.

Qiao Mai turned up the volume of the TV so loudly, originally wanting to prevent Chen Fu from hearing his mother's knock on the door. Unexpectedly, she couldn't hear the hoarse sound of the door opening and closing, and the crisp sound of the dishes colliding.

Chen Taikang said that he was very backbone, saying that he would rather starve to death. But seeing the old lady gone, I still have some expectations. After waiting for about an hour, I saw the old lady come in covered in snow, with a big basket in the crook of her arm, and lifted her headscarf. One look, ah, full of meat dishes. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"This, this is all given by the third family?" Chen Taikang asked in disbelief.

Joe Wheat's shrewd look. I'm afraid it's not so kind, right?

"It was given by the second child, the third family is stingy and stingy to death, I went to knock on the door, then Qiao Mai actually pretended not to hear, and the third child didn't plant, so he didn't dare to squeak. Fortunately, the second daughter-in-law was filial, and when she heard about it, she hurriedly packed me with these many dishes, and I was afraid that I would not be able to take them. You see, although the second husband and wife sometimes do things unreliable, but the biological is the biological one, and the white-eyed wolf that was picked up and raised is not a grade at all. Hong Xiao'e said in a weird way while picking out the dishes.

Chen Taikang was a little surprised in his heart, according to his understanding, the second and second daughter-in-law eat people and don't spit out bones, and they have always only entered and never got, why are they so filial this time?

But after all, it is his own son, he is still willing to listen to good words, his son is filial, and he always has a light on his face, thinking of the old lady saying that blood is thicker than water, he thinks too.

Although he is not very close to Chen Wei, he has finally pulled him up, and now as soon as he knows his life experience, he actually turns his face ruthlessly, and as his wife said, he is a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it.

The tabletop, which originally only had two bowls of vegetarian dishes, suddenly became rich, such as roasted chicken with potatoes, meat balls, braised fish, white-cut braised pork, steamed sausages, and sweet and sour pork ribs.

"Old woman, why did the second daughter-in-law get you the fish too?" Chen Taikang asked a little puzzled.

The tail of the fish was probably too hurried when Hong Xiao'e pretended, so the tail was broken, Hong Xiao'e hurriedly said: "I don't know that our family didn't burn fish, so I deliberately burned one more, and the second daughter-in-law also said, even if I don't go, she will send it in a while." ”

Chen Taikang felt comfortable in his heart, and felt that the second and second daughter-in-law still knew the general situation, which was done well, and the mood was also better, so he asked the old lady to take out a bottle of two pots under the bed, and he wanted to drink a cup.

Mrs. Hong didn't have anything to do, and she poured a small cup herself and drank it with her.

They were comfortable eating, Qiao Mai watched the Spring Festival Gala for a while, and saw that it was a little dark, and Xiao Lanzhi also took a nap, so he put the child on the side of the bed, and planned to go to the stove house to get some hot water to wash the child.

When she entered the stove house, she habitually glanced at the cupboard, and found that the door of the half cabinet was half hidden, and the latch was not inserted.

She wondered, could it be that she forgot jì just now, this is not good, there are rats at home at night, if you don't latch, when you get up tomorrow morning, I'm afraid the fish will be gone.

She tried to pull the other door open first, then close and lock both doors at the same time, but when she opened it, she couldn't close her mouth in shock.

The cupboards that were originally full of layers of dishes are now empty, only two vegetarian dishes and a plate of pickles are in it, and all the meat dishes and plates are gone.

Even if the rats just visited, it wouldn't have been able to eat so much at once, right?

Suddenly, Qiao Mai thought of something, her face changed drastically, and she couldn't wait to jump up angrily, she didn't even care about the child, so she rushed out directly and came directly to the gate of Chen Taikang's house.

She didn't rush in directly, but listened to the wall, it was really a coincidence, someone inside spoke, it seemed that Chen Taikang said: "Hey, today's second daughter-in-law's potato roast chicken tastes good, I didn't see it, I usually don't burn it well, but during the New Year, it was extraordinary." ”

Followed by Mrs. Hong's somewhat proud voice: "Usually she has to be busy helping the second elder do engineering things, where can she settle down to cook vegetables and rice, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and she has to treat guests in the first month, she can't make the dishes delicious." When the time comes, everyone will also praise her, come, the old man eats a rib. ”

"These ribs are so sweet, I remember that the second daughter-in-law doesn't like spicy food, only the third daughter-in-law likes to burn this sweet ribs, we don't like to eat this flavor very much."

"New Year's Day, of course, it should be sweet." Hong Xiao'e hurriedly walked over.

Qiao Wheat, which was stuck to the root of the wall outside, was already smoking. This damn old woman. I didn't expect that there would be such a hand, not only ran to her house to steal vegetables, but also said that this thing belonged to the second child's family.

The second family had already gone to Hu Cuiping's mother's house to offer their hospitality. The iron general at home guards the door, and he still wants to have food to eat, eat fart!

Old thing, you are unkind. Don't blame me for being unjust, you dare to steal my food. Look how I make you lose face in front of the whole village.

Qiao Mai made up his mind, so he immediately turned around and ran towards the village chief Li Haoren's house.

When the village chief's wife saw Qiao Mai enter the door at first glance, she thought it was a New Year's greeting. Unexpectedly, before she opened her mouth, her eyes were red.

"Village chief, this is the New Year's Day. I really don't want to bother you, but I'm really out of options. ”

Li Haoren hurriedly stood up from the fire bucket. Then he asked his wife to let her go to a warm place and asked, "Don't cry, good boy, what is going on?" ”

Qiao Mai learned about the theft of her family's vegetables, but she didn't say that it was stolen by Hong Xiao'e, she only said that she didn't know what the situation was, if it was just one or two plates, it would be okay, but all the meat dishes prepared for a hard day were all gone, and even the plates were gone.

"The atmosphere in our village has always been very good, there used to be a second-rate son, but after being beaten by the Chen family last time, he went back to his grandmother's house, and he hasn't come back recently." Li Haoren frowned, how could such a thing happen, for the New Year, he stole the meat and vegetables that others cooked, what is going on?

Joe Wheat just wiped her tears and didn't say anything else.

The village chief's wife asked her what dishes she cooked, she quickly reported the name of the dishes, Li Haoren heard it, and drank it, these dishes are all big dishes, and there is no 100 yuan to rectify.

"Don't hide it from the village chief, at the end of the year, Chen Fu worked in the workshop, and after the completion, he still got up early in the field to plant vegetables in the dark, and our husband and wife were busy in order to make a little money, I was thinking, it was too hard for Laneige and his father, so I got more vegetables to treat Laneige and his father, who knows, such a thing happened, why do you say my life is so hard?"

As soon as Li Haoren heard that it was not good to just sit, he had to quickly find out, so he immediately called and called the militia captain Yao Liuguo, who originally wanted to call Chen Wei, the village party secretary, but thinking that he had guests at home, forget it, and wait for him to be called afterwards.

After all, Yao Liuguo was young and his brain was also active, and after listening to Qiao Mai's description, he asked, "You mean that not only are the meat and vegetables gone, but even the dishes are gone." Is there a time between when you put the food and when you find that the food is missing? ”

"Two hours, I've been watching TV in the hall, I really didn't expect such a thing to happen, alas, you said that if you really pass by, you want food, you can sue me directly, I definitely won't be reluctant to take that bite of food, directly use the stolen one, what is this called, the New Year's Day, isn't this adding bad luck to me."

The village chief's wife was also very sympathetic and comforted.

Asking for food? Li Haoren glanced at Yao Liuguo, their militia team is responsible for patrolling the safety and health of the village every day, have you seen strangers coming to the village?

Yao Liuguo shook his head, didn't you see it, this Chinese New Year, even if he is a beggar, he has to go back to his nest, right?

"Is there any mark on your plate?" Yao Liuguo felt as if he had grasped the key point of the matter.

When he asked, Qiao Mai immediately seemed to react, and recalled, there was really a mark, but it was not obvious.

Because sometimes in the village, she would go to the neighbor's house to borrow dishes, so the bottom of her dishes was engraved with a blessing character.

In this case, it will be convenient to look it up.

Li Haoren and Yao Liuguo thought that first of all, the people in the village who had a better family background and those who were usually more honest were excluded, and the remaining few families who liked to take advantage of small things, or those who had children in the family who liked to fight and make trouble, were included in the key investigation.

They don't want to make this scene in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but no one wants such a thing to happen.

If you want to celebrate the New Year, Renqiao Wheat will also celebrate the New Year.

Qiao Mai glanced at the list of Yao Liuguo and others, and said casually: "I think of someone who also likes to take advantage of others, but I'm afraid that if I say it, people will scold me for being unfilial." ”

When she said this, the village chief's wife had a big mouth and loved gossip, so she immediately couldn't hide her mouth and said: "You're talking about your mother-in-law, Liuguo, I think you will focus on checking her mother-in-law's house, except for the old woman, who else dares to openly go to someone's house to get something?" ”

Li Haoren took a puff of cigarette and said, "The bottom of the house is the mother of the village party secretary, isn't that okay?" ”

"Ouch, Yue's family and those two old ones are like that, who doesn't know, and this is a business matter, even if Chen Zhishu is here, it is estimated that he will be wiped out in righteousness, anyway, it's not just to search for her family, it's not a deliberate target, right?"

Li Haoren heard his mother-in-law say this, and there seemed to be some truth, in order to show that he was selfless, he nodded and agreed, and asked Yao Liuguo to take the militia team to search for several families on this list.

Qiao Mai, as the bitter master who was stolen, naturally had to follow.

The first one to search was Widow Liu's house, that Widow Liu has never been a good person, and suddenly there was a lot of trouble, originally they planned to keep a low profile, but now they are also boiling.

The villagers stopped watching TV and ran out to watch.

Widow Liu's house didn't, and went to Li You's house, who had always liked petty theft, and the onlookers behind each new family were a few points larger, and when they finally arrived at Chen Taikang's house, almost half of the village came.

When Yao Liuguo walked in in the snowstorm, Chen Taikang and Hong Xiao'e were drinking together, and when they saw him coming in, they smiled and said, "Liuguo, who are you?" ”

The two of them are not related, how could Yao Liuguo come to his house to pay New Year's greetings?

Because nothing was found in the previous families, Chen Taikang's family was the last one, if the thief could not be found again, how would he, the militia captain, explain to the villagers.

It shows that he didn't do enough security work, and he actually let the villagers' homes be stolen, and the thief couldn't be found.

In addition, Li You and Widow Liu are not good people, Yao Liuguo's daughter-in-law is still arguing with Widow Liu at this time, do you think he can be in a better mood?

With a calm face, he said that a villager had lost something at home, and Qiao Mai also came in crying after him: "Dad, you have to help your daughter-in-law be the master, the thief killed this day, why don't you steal from others, and steal my family's things." ”

As soon as Hong Xiao'e saw Qiao Mai come in, she first felt three points weak, and the braised chicken that she was going to eat was also choked in her neck, unable to go up or down, and it was very uncomfortable.

Chen Taikang's beard is straight, if it weren't for his inflexible legs and feet, he would have jumped up a long time ago, how could this third daughter-in-law do this? If you don't send food to your elders during the New Year, it's not filial piety, and now you still bring outsiders to his house, what does this mean?

Treat him as a thief?

"Qiao Mai, do you still take me as an elder in your eyes?" Chen Taikang snapped the wine glass on the table and roared angrily. (To be continued.) )
