A glimmer of sunshine slowly enveloped the whole village, and people began to bring farm tools to the fields, but the villagers who used to meet and greet happily were all sullen.

Needless to say, I also know that it is because of the recent mysterious death of all the chickens in the village. Although it is not a big deal to say that the death of a chicken is not a big deal, it is serious for these villagers.

In Zhang's family, Zhang Guowei and Sun Cuihua have already worked in the fields, and after breakfast, everyone in the family is doing their own thing. Since it was a weekend, Zhang Guoqiang was not in a hurry to report in the city, and he and Old Man Zhang were smoking lotus leaf cigarettes in the hall, chatting about taking over the work there.

"Bang, bang, bang" There was a knock on the door outside.

"It's my father and mother who are back," Zhang Ran quickly ran out of the house to open the door.

Of course, Mrs. Zhang also heard it, and scolded again, "It's only been a long time since I've been and I've come back, it's getting more and more difficult to manage!" ”

Zhang Ran, who opened the door excitedly, found that it was not his father and mother outside, but the village chief and the two people who came yesterday.

The two men still wore their work cards and blue and purple overalls and said to Zhang Ran, "Is there an adult at home?" ”

Zhang Ran pointed to the back room and did not speak, the little girl was still young, and when she opened the door, she was inevitably a little disappointed to find that it was not her father.

When the people in the hall saw that it was the person who had come yesterday, they hurriedly got up to greet them.

The village chief looked at Old Man Zhang and said, "Old Zhang! These two comrades wanted to learn more about the situation. ”

"Come in and sit down," Old Man Zhang said earnestly.

As the village chief and the two men walked towards the hall, Old Man Zhang continued to instruct: "Ran girl, go and pour some tea for the three uncles." ”

One of the men said, "No, we just have a little more questions, so we'll leave." ”

"Then you have to drink some water," Old Man Zhang insisted, giving Zhang Ran a look by the way.

"Didn't you ask all about it yesterday?" Zhang Guoqiang on the side said.

"yes, we want to know if any poultry has died in your house." Which tall man asked.

Zhang Xin, who heard the movement, came to the hall one step earlier and stood in an inconspicuous corner to observe the people.

Of course, Zhang Rong also heard it, but he was afraid so he didn't dare to come out. In the end, I really wanted to know what the situation was like outside, so I suppressed the worry in my heart and slowly came to the hall.

Hearing this question as soon as he came out, Zhang Rong was shocked, and hurriedly looked up to see Zhang Xin standing in the corner staring at him.

Although Zhang Xin didn't say a word, the eyes staring at Zhang Rong made Zhang Rong, who was a thief, break out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly turned his head to look at the adults who were talking.

"My family doesn't have poultry, so no poultry in my family dies!" Zhang Guoqiang thought for a while and said to the two comrades.

One of them went on to ask, "Has anyone in the family been to the river lately?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Rong's face turned even paler.

"Do you already know?" He thought to himself.

"No, no, no one knows about it except Zhang Xin." He thought about it and looked up at Zhang Xin not far away.

Fortunately, Zhang Xin didn't stare at him this time, but looked out of the house thoughtfully, and Zhang Rong's heart fell.

At this time, Zhang Xin, who was looking outside the house in a daze, was thinking about how to leave, and it was precisely because of this that he ignored Zhang Rong. After staring at Zhang Rong for a long time, she will definitely be confused by Mrs. Zhang, that old woman is a master who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

"Nope!" Old man Zhang spoke this time.

He then continued: "A few days ago, the old family was at home, and the second daughter's daughter was sick and went to the county hospital, but no one has ever been to the river! ”

After Old Man Zhang finished speaking, he looked at the two men and asked again, "What does the mysterious death of the chickens in the village have to do with that river?" ”

Fortunately, the attitude of the two was not very bad, and they explained: "We suspect that someone has poisoned the river water, and the poultry in the village must have died because they drank the river water." ”

After hearing the explanation, the people in the room understood why they were asking if anyone had been to the river.

"There is really no one to go to our house, yesterday the second child Zhang Guowei and the two girls and my mother came back," Zhang Guoqiang added again.

"A lot of people in this village saw it!" Zhang Ran on the side suddenly interjected.

She thought that these two were here to trouble her family, and quickly said. She didn't want others to misunderstand her sister and daddy.

"Adults talk, children don't interject." Mrs. Zhang, who had been beside her and had not spoken, scolded.

"It's okay, the little girl is straightforward, but what she said is right!" A man who hadn't spoken all this time said.

Mrs. Zhang nodded with a smile, turned around and glared at Zhang Ran.

Just when Zhang Ran spoke, Zhang Xin had already put his eyes into the house again, and the moment he looked at Zhang Ran's mouth, he knew that this girl was defending herself, and she couldn't help but feel soft in her heart.

Seeing Mrs. Zhang glaring at Zhang Ran, Zhang Xin stepped forward and protected Zhang Ran behind her.

Which man didn't speak when he saw this scene, after all, it was someone's housework, and he didn't want to interject, just now he was just a little dissatisfied with Mrs. Zhang's scolding.

After talking for a while, Old Man Zhang and Zhang Guoli finally explained the activities of their family in the last one or two days to the two men, and then the two of them and the village chief got up to say goodbye.

After the three of them left, Zhang Rong's pale face had a hint of good pretense, and he was about to quietly go back to the room but was discovered by the sharp-eyed Mrs. Zhang.

"Good grandson, are you not feeling well?" Mrs. Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

She was reluctant to let her grandson have the slightest accident.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Zhang Rong's original idea of going back to the house was interrupted by Mrs. Zhang, so she could only be perfunctory.

"If you feel uncomfortable, just say it, grandma will take you to see it, don't be afraid to spend money." Mrs. Zhang continued.

Hearing this, Zhang Xin looked up at Mrs. Zhang, who was pulling Zhang Rong to ask for warmth, she had been afraid of spending money when she was poisoned, and Zhang Rong was a little pale, so that the usually stingy Mrs. Zhang could say such words, this partiality is also obvious.

Zhang Xin didn't want to watch it anymore, although she knew that this was the case, she still couldn't help but want to laugh in her heart, she didn't understand why Zhang Lao Niang herself was obviously a woman, why she had such a serious patriarchal thinking. took Zhang Ran back to his cabin.

Zhang Ran obviously felt the change in his sister's mood, and he didn't say anything, and obediently followed.

Mr. Zhang Rong explained to Mrs. Zhang that she was really a little tired, and it would be good to take a rest. In a state of doubt, Mrs. Zhang went back to the room.

Zhang Rong, who returned to the room, fell directly on the bed, it seems that Zhang Xin must not be allowed to say this matter, otherwise he will be finished.

And Mrs. Zhang decided to make some food supplements because of her grandson's "pale complexion", so she began to ask Li Lihua to buy some meat and come back to make it for Zhang Rong.
