Chapter 17: The Last Days of the Ice Ages(17)
It seems to be human nature to watch the excitement, and even Xingyun is a little curious about what is going on in front of her.
There was a circle of people in front of the village commissary, most of them children of different ages, not many young and middle-aged, and some old people.
The proprietress of the commissary sat on the damp side of the road and cried, cursing those people who would not die well, and who would surely go to hell after death.
Su Hao squeezed in with Xingyun, "What's wrong with the 'Iron Rooster'?" ”
The proprietress of the commissary is usually more picky, and she has to pay a dime to buy things, and the children call her an iron rooster behind her back.
Coupled with the impact of online shopping in recent years, her commissary's business has become more and more sluggish, and her temper has become more and more uncertain.
"It looks like there was a burglar in the store last night." A boy who had a good relationship with Su Hao said, and after speaking, he glanced at Xingyun curiously.
"Everything was stolen?"
"It seems that many people wanted to come over to buy something in the morning, but they didn't expect that after the store opened, it was turned into a mess, and many things were missing."
There was a hint of schadenfreude in the boy's tone, and the people around him were whispering about who had done this.
You must know that there are not many people in their village now, most of the young and middle-aged people have gone out to work, and those who stay are the elderly and children.
Some time ago, the government wanted to develop tourism resources, and their village was included in the plan because of the good scenery, and some young people were called back by their families, but the number of people was not large.
Everyone was wondering if it was someone from the village outside who did it, after all, the people in the village knew everything and couldn't think of anyone who would do it.
I also thought that when I went home, I should lock the doors and windows well, so as not to let the thief enter my door.
A few aunts helped the proprietress into the house, and the village committee also said that it would help call the police and help with the investigation, but everyone knows that it is difficult to find this thing, let alone catch someone.
When they went back, the boy named Su Yixuan also followed them, he first cared about Su Hao's feet, then looked left and right, approached Su Hao's side and whispered, "Brother Hao, I know who stole it." ”
"You know? Did you see that? ”
"Hmm." Su Yixuan's voice was lowered, "I woke up in the middle of the night last night, and when I got up to go to the toilet, I saw several figures from the window, they were carrying a large package on their backs, and the direction they came from was the direction of the commissary. ”
"Are you sure they stole it?"
"Eight/nine is not far from ten," Su Yixuan sighed into the palm of his hand, then rubbed it vigorously, and continued: "Who else can they be besides who they don't sleep in the middle of the night and behave sneakily?" ”
"Then do you see people clearly?"
Su Yixuan paused, he looked around again, put his hand to his mouth and whispered: "The face is not clear, but the way I walked, one of them I looked like Liu Rong who lived in the neighboring village." ”
Liu Rong is a well-known bastard in the neighborhood who dropped out of school early and did not study.
His mother died of illness last year, and he gave the family's land to other people, and did not go out to work, wandering around the nearby village all day long, not doing his job.
"No, although he is quite idle, I haven't heard of anything bad that he has done, how can he come to our village to steal things?"
"Who knows!"
"Then you, do you want to tell ......?"
"I don't want it!" Su Yixuan hurriedly waved his hand, "The 'iron rooster' mouth is very broken, I have to tell her that she will definitely reveal me, my family is just me and my grandmother at home, what should they do if they trouble me then?" ”
He told Su Hao again: "Brother Hao, don't tell anyone else, even if you do, don't say that I said it, I told you it brother!" ”
"Didn't the village chief just say that he wanted to call the police?"
"Then let's talk about it when the police come, I don't think the police will necessarily come in this weather."
After separating from Su Yixuan, Su Hao went home and talked about the commissary.
Of course, he didn't mention Su Yixuan's name, only said that the commissary was stolen, it seems that someone has seen Liu Rong, there are so many things at home recently, and you should pay attention to it.
"Liu Rong, how did that kid become like this!"
Grandma Su felt that the changes in people were too great, he had seen Grandma Su when he was a child, and he looked like a very well-behaved child, but he didn't expect that the more he grew up, the more unseemly he became.
"Isn't it because his dad is too much of a jerk? Make a good home like this. ”
Grandpa Su felt that this child became what he is today because of the family.
Aunt Su also joined the topic, "I remember that Liu Rong and our family Su Chen were middle school classmates, right? ”
"Well, that's right, he went to school late, and he stayed two levels, coincidentally in the same class as our family Chenchen, three years older than Chenchen."
Speaking of Liu Rong, everyone sighed for a while, only Xingyun lowered her head and turned her phone, silently reciting the name in her heart......
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it had gradually changed from light snow to medium snow, and Father Su and Uncle Su each carried a large bundle of firewood and rushed back at noon.
Su Mu and the others hurriedly stepped forward to help them pour hot water to wash their faces and hands, and then asked them to hurry up and bake the fire.
Uncle Su took a sip of hot water, and waited until a warm feeling rose in his stomach before he breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he had come back to life.
"Yun Province is only afraid that it has not been so cold for decades, it is really freezing to death!"
"No, I didn't expect it to be so cold."
Uncle Su looked at Father Su, "Fortunately, you're back, we're all so cold, Jin'an City can't imagine it, maybe it's minus twenty or thirty degrees!" Also, it's a good thing that you bought so many things to protect yourself from the cold, otherwise where would you buy these things now! Didn't you see the news that many places were closed! ”
When it came to the road closure, Uncle Su remembered calling his eldest son in the morning, and he said that he was already in the car.
Now that the snow is getting heavier, nothing can happen to him!
Uncle Su picked up his mobile phone and called Su Chen, but this call was not connected.
Seeing that Uncle Su's expression had changed, Aunt Su was anxious, "What's wrong?" When I called him in the morning, he said he was on his way and should be there in the morning, where is he now? ”
Uncle Su didn't speak, but lowered his head and continued to dial the phone.
However, there was still no answer.
"This ...... What's going on? Didn't you say you got on the bus? Why doesn't this kid answer the phone! ”
Grandma Su is also anxious, the weather outside is so bad, it shouldn't be an accident!
Seeing that Grandma Su looked like the sky was falling, and Aunt Su was holding her chest and seemed to be a little out of breath, Father Su hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, maybe it's just that Su Chen's child put his mobile phone in his backpack and didn't hear it, and he was ......."
"It's not your child, of course you're not in a hurry! My child......"
Father Su was scolded by Aunt Su, and his face was a little unbearable.
Uncle Su's eyebrows twisted, and he shouted: "Okay! How do you speak? What to cry before you are sure! It's okay to cry because you're crying! ”
Uncle Su smiled apologetically at Father Su, who shook his head and said that he didn't take it to heart.
He could understand his sister-in-law's feelings, and those words were just unintentional.
Su Hao was also a little at a loss, although he was very annoyed by this brother who was better than him everywhere, and sometimes he thought that it would be good if he didn't have him.
But at this time, my brother may have really had an accident, his heart is flustered, and he doesn't know what to do at all.
The Su family, which had a warm and harmonious atmosphere, was overshadowed by the loss of contact with the eldest grandson, Grandpa Su smoked a dry cigarette silently, and Grandma Su also kept rubbing her heart and screaming chest tightness.
Aunt Su sat on the side and shed tears silently, and Mother Su whispered comfort beside her.
Uncle Su walked back and forth in the living room a few times, trying to calm down his anxious heart.
"Don't scare yourself, maybe he'll call later."
However, until it was time to have dinner, he didn't receive a call from Su Chen......
