Bai Mengdie replied: "It was my grandfather who asked me to come back and take the initiative to cooperate with the police investigation." ”

"So you've already been to the police station?" The old lady asked.

"Uh-huh." Bai Mengdie nodded and stuffed a handful of straw handles into the stove.

The old lady fried the steamed dumplings sizzlingly: "Have you asked the police how many years will Bai Jie's mother and daughter be sentenced to prison?" ”

The old man said indignantly outside the kitchen: "How many years to sentence? White Lotus, that dog thing is released.

I'm afraid that Bai Jie will be released soon, and the mother and daughter will not have anything to do in the end, and they will negotiate for a few years! ”

The old lady was stunned: "What...... How so? ”

Bai Mengdie said: "The law stipulates that the police detain a suspect for a maximum of 24 hours.

Unless the police find evidence within these 24 hours before the suspect can continue to be detained, he must be released. ”

The old lady sighed and said unwillingly: "Let Bai Jie's dog escape again." ”

For a while, the three of them did not speak, only the sizzling sound of frying dumplings.

The old man drank his tea and pointed to the kitchen with his farm tools, "Old woman, I'm going to work in the fields, don't forget to take out the lean meat you left over yesterday at noon and cook it for Fluttershy." ”

When Bai Mengdie heard this, she asked strangely: "Why didn't you finish the jerky you bought yesterday, you have to keep it for today, it's so hot, and I'm not afraid that it will spoil overnight." ”

The old lady said, "If it doesn't go bad, I have passed the oil and soaked it in lard, and it can be put for a week." ”

And this preservation method?

Bai Mengdie heard for the first time that she used a refrigerator to keep her fresh.

The old man stood at the kitchen door and explained to her: "We didn't buy that meat, it was your third aunt who bought it, and you and your father are not at home, why do we buy meat to eat?" ”

Bai Mengdie's eyes widened in surprise: "This is really the sun hitting the west, the third aunt will buy meat for us to eat?" It's good that she didn't ask us for meat. ”

The old lady walked out of the kitchen with the fried dumplings and said to the old man, "Don't rush to work first, eat the dumplings and then go." ”

Then tell Bai Mengdie in a few words the reason why Yao Cuihua bought meat for them.

Bai Mengdie didn't expect that Yao Cuihua would also admit defeat.

Unexpectedly, Tian Chunfang actually became more powerful and dared to beat Yao Cuihua.

The old man took advantage of the old lady and Bai Mengdie's conversation, ate two dumplings, put down the chopsticks, and said to the old lady very seriously: "Old woman, look, I am so obedient, if you let me eat dumplings, I will eat them, and I will go out to work." ”

The old lady lit the dumplings with chopsticks, and argued with wide eyes: "There are more than 20 dumplings here, and you want to run away after eating two?" No, Fluttershy eats ten, you eat six, and I eat four! ”

Bai Mengdie hurriedly waved her hand: "Grandma, don't call me to eat, I'm losing weight now, don't let me waste my efforts." ”

The old lady forcibly stuffed a dumpling in her mouth: "Even if you want to lose weight, you have to eat enough to have the strength to lose weight!" Then he beckoned the old man to eat.

The old man had to sit down, pick up a dumpling and stuff it into his mouth.

Bai Mengdie ate two dumplings and didn't eat them.

The old lady had no choice but to give up.

Under the coercion of the old lady, the old man finished eating dumplings with her, and was about to go out with farm tools, when the brakes of the car sounded outside the courtyard gate.

Although it was already 1998, there were very few cars in the village.

The family of three all walked to the gate of the courtyard curiously and looked out.

I saw a truck parked at the gate of their yard, and a middle-aged man got out of the truck and asked politely, "Excuse me, is this Bai Mengdie's house?" ”

Bai Mengdie looked at the people, and then looked at the big truck parked beside him, and immediately reacted and greeted him warmly: "It's my home, I'm Bai Mengdie, and the uncle is here to pull fruits." ”

"Uh-huh." The uncle winked at Bai Mengdie, "I was sent by my boss." ”

Bai Mengdie understood what he meant, it must be Chen Ziqian who had an explanation, and he couldn't expose that he was a subordinate sent by his father.

I want him to pretend to be an employee of the unwarranted fruit seller so that he can give her all the credit.

If last night's incident hadn't happened, Bai Mengdie would definitely not want to take the credit for Chen Ziqian, but now her heart has changed, and she doesn't want to help the people in the village anymore.

Thinking of so many people persecuting the old man last night, Bai Mengdie's heart was sad.

Then we can't let the villagers know that Chen Ziqian is behind the purchase of plums in the village, otherwise they will ask him to buy their plums at a high price next year.

If they don't buy it next year, these villagers can't find Chen Ziqian, and they will definitely force him to let Chen Ziqian buy it like they forced the old man last night.

If you don't agree, it is likely to offend the whole village, and their Bai family will be excluded in the village, so why bother to let the villagers know the truth and cause trouble for themselves!

If the villagers thought that she could let people buy plums in the village at a high price this time, she was lucky and persuaded the fruit sellers, but she didn't have this luck next year, and the villagers didn't say much to avoid offending people.

Living in a small group, it's best not to make too many enemies in this group.

Bai Mengdie glanced at the old people who were standing at the gate of the courtyard, holding the baby and holding the child, they all looked at the uncle and her inquiringly, and listened to them.

Bai Mengdie cooperated with the uncle to act: "It turned out that it was sent by Boss Wang, so I said, it's a fresh face!" Uncle, come in and have a cup of tea. ”

The uncle stood still and didn't move: "No, I want to take the plums and leave, I still have work to do when I go back!" ”

The old man and the old lady didn't tell him so much, and directly pulled him into the yard: "It's all here, how can you not even drink a sip of tea!" ”

The family of three was in a hurry, Bai Mengdie went to make tea, and the old lady put away the empty plate of dumplings and went into the kitchen to cook poached eggs in sugar water.

The villagers who were standing at the gate of the courtyard walked in with a smile on their faces, licked their faces and asked the old man: "Daddy Bai, ...... is this guest of your house?"

The old lady heard it in the kitchen, poked her head out, and a warm smile was piled up on her wrinkled face: "The boss who bought the plums." ”

The uncle was embarrassed to correct: "I'm not the boss, I was sent by our boss." ”

A villager smiled and asked, "Is it really six cents a pound to buy plums from our village?" ”

The uncle nodded and replied affirmatively, "Yes!" ”

The villagers immediately left and ran to the fields to report to their families, telling them to leave their farm work and come back to pick plums.

Suddenly, the good news spread throughout the village, and almost all the villagers cheered.

Since they got up this morning, they have been waiting for the fruit seller who bought plums at a high price as Bai Mengdie said to come to the village.

But I haven't seen a single human hair until this hour, and many people are already desperate, thinking that Bai Mengdie is too young after all, unreliable, and has been fooled.

Now that the people who bought plums at a high price have come, it is a complete surprise, how can it not make their hearts flutter!
