22. Do a good job

Grandma sighed, "Alas! It's hard to guard against thieves! I thought it was Liu Guihua before, but now I know that my son is also a bad species, and whenever there is a little good thing in this family, they have to find a way to get it. ”

"Grandma, didn't you cut off relations with him? Such a person has nothing to do with him, and he is even more relaxed! ”

"Even if the relationship is broken, but I live next door, I can't hide any good things in this house, and the home is a bottomless pit!"

"Grandma, when I find a job, or I go outside to do a little business, I will take you out, and this house will be dealt with, don't do it, we will stay away from them in the future, and they will never be able to harm us again."

"Xiaoling, you said to live outside, is this okay?"

"Grandma, you believe me, you and grandpa have raised me for so many years, now it's time for me to repay you, I'm not sure, I won't make such a decision."

"Xiaoling, I won't go, I'm an old woman who has never gone out, I'm afraid I'm not used to living outside, I'm used to living here......"

"Grandma, with me, I will teach you if you don't understand, you will adapt, don't be reluctant to be here, there is nothing worth your nostalgia here. If nothing else, when you go outside, you can get closer to your aunt, you can see your aunt often, isn't that good? ”

"Yes, of course, I wish I could see her every day!"

"When you go outside, you can see your aunt every day."

Grandma sighed: "It's so easy, your uncle is a good person, but your aunt's parents-in-law are very difficult to get along with." Your aunt has been married to the Tang family for more than ten years, and I have been there once, and your aunt's parents-in-law's face is very long and smelly, who wants to look at that face every day. ”

"Yes, my aunt is in such a family, and her life is miserable, and I feel sorry for her. The reason why I have to go out to live is to find a way to help my aunt live a good life. ”

"Your aunt has married into someone else's family, whether she is doing well or not, her mother's family is not good enough to interfere again."

Zhao Xiaoling stopped talking, she knew that her grandmother would not believe that she could help her aunt, this matter was indeed difficult, but she had to do it no matter how difficult it was.

In the next seven days, Zhao Xiaoling and her grandmother collected all the wheat in the field, dried it, and beat the wheat grains with stone dips.

And for wheat to be ground into flour, you have to go to the commune, and only the commune has a machine for grinding flour.

There was still a little flour at home, some potatoes and sweet potatoes, and cornmeal, so Zhao Xiaoling put away the wheat for the time being, and then went to the commune to grind the wheat into flour after a while.

Whenever there is a little bit of value in the family, it will be remembered by the son's family.

The big bag of wheat at home is the main ration of Zhao Xiaoling and her grandmother in the next year, in order to prevent it from being stolen again, Grandma Zhao does not dare to leave the house for half a step.

After collecting the wheat, Zhao Xiaoling rested at home for two days, and her grandmother asked her what she thought about it, whether she really didn't go to school.

Zhao Xiaoling said: "I'll go to the commune tomorrow and ask about the substitute teacher."

"Then you take that bag of wheat and grind it into flour."

"Grandma, this is not busy, I went out this time to do something important, carrying a big bag of flour, it is inconvenient, besides, if the two of us want to live outside, there is no need to make a special trip to grind noodles."

Grandma was worried, "Xiaoling, is your idea like this reliable?" I think you still have to go to school, don't worry about me, I'm completely well now, I can't delay you because of me, if I delay you, all these years of suffering for school will be in vain. ”

Zhao Xiaoling put a basket on her back, "Grandma, you are at home, I will go to the mountains to find some wild vegetables, and then beat a pheasant to have a good meal for the two of us." ”

"Look, don't you think I'm verbose?"

"No, Grandma, I love being with you, whatever you say or do. You're waiting! I'm going to hunt a pheasant and come back, so let's improve our food. ”

Zhao Xiaoling went out of the village, walked into the jungle, and picked up walnuts, pine nuts, and mushrooms all the way.

In those years, there was a famine outside, and many people died, but there was no starvation in Zhaojiagou, as long as you can move, you will not starve to death if you can find a little wild fruit to eat in the mountains.

If there were roads here, the good things in the mountains would be able to be sold for money, but then again, if the roads here were good and could be opened to traffic, then there wouldn't be so many of these things on the mountains.

Zhao Xiaoling found some wild vegetables, hit two pheasants, and returned with a full load.

When she was about to reach the entrance of the village, Zhao Xiaoling ran into Wang Yuan and another of his companions. Today, however, they are not wearing police uniforms, but civilian clothes.

Zhao Xiaoling carried a backpack on her back, a headscarf wrapped in old cloth on her head, and her clothes were old and gray, which was the standard set she had to wear when she entered the forest.

Therefore, Wang Yuan, the previous scout, and the current captain of the criminal police, did not recognize Zhao Xiaoling.

Zhao Xiaoling saw him at a glance.

"Uncle Wang, are you here?" Although she had only dealt with her once, Zhao Xiaoling felt very cordial to Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan took a closer look, his bright eyes, ruddy face, and calm demeanor, he blurted out in surprise.

"Zhao Xiaoling, it turned out to be you?"

"Yes! Uncle Wang, is it true that the results of my grandmother's poisoning case have come out? ”

The case was very simple, it was figured out on the same day, Liu Guihua confessed, and she explained everything she had done clearly. The case was settled long ago, and Liu Guihua was sentenced to 16 years in prison. ”

"Really, greatly, she deserves it."

Zhao Xiaoling remembered that in her previous life, her grandmother was killed by Liu Guihua, but Liu Guihua was at large, and in this life, she finally paid the price for her actions and got the punishment she deserved.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for acting impartially, protecting the good guys, and punishing the bad guys."

"Zhao Xiaoling, don't be polite, maintaining social order and punishing bad guys is our job duty."

"This Liu Guihua is also the first person in Zhaojiagou to be sentenced to prison since ancient times, this is a warning to everyone in Zhaojiagou, and everyone will take care of it in the future!"

Wang Yuan said vigilantly: "What do you mean ......?"

"Zhaojiagou is backward, the traffic is inconvenient, the inquiry is also closed, everyone's legal awareness is weak, many people do not know what they have done to break the law, Liu Guihua is also confused about his crimes, right?"
