Chapter 16: The Liu Clan Steals Chickens
The Ning family, after lunch, everyone rested in the house. Only the Liu family sneaked into the kitchen of Ning Xue'er's house.
Liu Shi quickly glanced at the kitchen, and immediately caught the yam placed in the corner, she was ecstatic, tiptoed out two of the thickest yams from the back basket, put them in her arms and quietly left.
In the courtyard of the Ning family, it was so quiet that the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard. Liu carried two yams in his arms, and quickened his pace while looking around. It wasn't until she entered her kitchen that she breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu wiped the fine sweat oozing from his forehead, glanced proudly at the third room of the Ning family, and then went back to the house to lie down.
In the evening, when Ning Dazhuang came back, he didn't even care about eating, so he immediately went to Zhang Yisheng's house, and after passing the good news, he hurried back to eat.
Today, Ning Xue'er still makes yam porridge, and the family eats full of sauerkraut.
After the meal, the Zhang family still went to weave, Ning Xue'er was busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and Ning Dazhuang was sitting in the yard teasing Ning Ran. In the courtyard, the breeze is coming, the moon is in the sky, although Ning Dazhuang is tired, but thinking about the good days in the future, his heart is beautiful.
"Uncle Ning!"
Hearing someone calling, Ning Dazhuang hurriedly walked to the door to see, it turned out that Zhang Yisheng had sent a pheasant. Ning Dazhuang hurriedly welcomed him in, and he excused himself as he walked, "Yisheng, your family is not easy, why are you so polite?" ”
Zhang Yisheng came today to give gifts, so he smiled and said, "Uncle, it's not a valuable thing, I picked it up on the mountain and sent it to you to try it." ”
After the words fell, Zhang Yisheng carried the pheasant into the kitchen.
"Brother Zhang!" Ning Xue'er wiped the table while looking up to call people.
Zhang Yisheng smiled, raised the pheasant in his hand, and asked, "Where to put it?" ”
Ning Xue'er knew that Zhang Yisheng was very stubborn, and you had to accept it if he sent it, so let's go back and make up for it.
Therefore, Ning Xue'er pointed to the corner of the wall, "Where to put it." ”
Zhang Yisheng put down the pheasant, went back to the yard and greeted Zhang Yisheng for a while before leaving.
Early the next morning, Ning Dazhuang took Zhang Yisheng to the town.
Ning Xue'er finished her housework and went up the mountain with a basket, although there were no yams on the mountain, there were still many good things, such as chestnuts and grapes, these are all edible, and Ning Xue'er naturally won't let it go.
In the Ning family's weaving room, Liu was weaving cloth absentmindedly, and she had already looked out the window three times in a quarter of an hour.
Seeing the sun gradually rising, Liu estimated that Ning Xue'er's dead girl should have left home, so she covered her stomach and pretended to be uncomfortable, and ran away from the weaving room with a smoke.
Zhang concentrated on weaving, so she didn't care what happened to Liu.
Liu Shi came out of the weaving house, first walked around the yard, and touched the bottom.
The old woman teased her grandson in the house, and Ding sat in the room embroidering, and the third room was empty.
Liu nodded with satisfaction, very good, this is the best time to do it.
She quickly entered the kitchen of the third room, picked up the dead pheasant and ran back to her kitchen. Liu thought to himself, this chicken must not be left alone, in case Ning Xue'er's dead girl comes back at noon and finds that the chicken is gone, then .......
Liu's eyes rolled, and he immediately had an idea in his heart.
At noon, Ning Xue'er came back with chestnuts and grapes on her back with joy, thinking that the dish of chestnut stewed pheasant must taste very good. However, as soon as she entered the kitchen, Ning Xue'er couldn't laugh.
Her chickens are gone!
Ning Xue'er panicked, how could a good chicken not be seen? She was so anxious that she hurriedly put down the basket and went to the weaving room to find Zhang. When Zhang knew that the pheasant was missing, she stood up at once and asked, "When did you disappear?" ”
Ning Xue'er's heart was cold all of a sudden, originally she thought that the Zhang family had taken out the chicken to deal with it in advance, but now that she is like this, she probably doesn't know it. She wilted all of a sudden, "Just now, as soon as I came back, I found that it was gone. ”
Zhang frowned, she thought for a while, and said, "Let's look for it again, maybe it's Naughty and taken to other places." ”
Ning Xue'er's face was solemn, she nodded helplessly, and she could only search the house again with the Zhang family, but she still found nothing.
The noon sun was extremely hot, and Ning Xue'er stood in the courtyard and suddenly remembered something. Yesterday, it seemed that there were two yams missing at home, but because yams were not valuable, Ning Xue'er didn't pay attention to them.
It's just that there was a lack of yam yesterday, and there is one less pheasant today, Ning Xue'er couldn't help but wonder if there was a thief at home.
After Ning Xue'er told Zhang's thoughts, Zhang's also remembered, and now Liu's seems to have wombled for a while and got off the machine, but not weaving doesn't mean that Liu's steals things.
However, after thinking about it, Ning Xue'er still felt that the Liu family was the most suspicious. So, she whispered in Zhang's ear, and Zhang nodded straight when he heard it.
"Oh no, no, I can't find my chickens." Zhang deliberately opened his throat in the courtyard and shouted.
Liu Shi was full of food and drink, lying on the bed, and when he heard Zhang's panicked voice, he couldn't help but snort in his heart.
These days, seeing that the days of the third room are getting better and better, Liu's heart is sour.
originally thought it was Ning Laosan, who was a mud leg, but he didn't expect that he would have a salary of 40 yuan a day when he went to the dock to move goods, and these ten days would be worth his husband for a month. In addition, Ning Xue'er's girl didn't know what shit luck she had, but she was able to find that dead tree root-like thing from the mountain, and the key thing was that it tasted good.
At this time, seeing that the third room was losing things, Liu was not in a hurry at all, she leisurely fanned the pu fan, lay on the bed, and rested in peace.
Zhang's call, Ning Pozi and Ding's both came out to inquire about the situation. Zhang cried with a handful of snot and tears, "Who kills a thousand knives and dares to steal my chicken, this kind of person will have to cut off his children and grandchildren, and the sky will be thunder.........ed with five thunders."
Ning Xue'er couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, not to mention, this Zhang's acting skills are not bad.
Ning Pozi frowned and reprimanded: "It's noon, don't toss around, there are no people with unclean hands and feet in our family, you go back and look for it, maybe you forgot where you are." ”
Zhang still wanted to defend himself, but he was frightened by Ning Pozi's sharp eyes and swallowed his words back.
However, at this moment, Ning Xue'er came out of the house, she pretended to be flustered and said, "Grandmother, you misunderstood, my mother is not reluctant to give up the chicken, it's just ......."
Ning Xue'er looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, but it aroused Ding's curiosity, and she asked, "Just how?" ”
Ning Xue'er bit her lip before she said, "Just now Honey told me, let me not eat that pheasant, it seems that the chickens in the mountains have been suffering from chicken plague recently, and there is a rumor today that there is a hunter family who eats pheasants, and the whole family is sick." ”
"Huh?" Ding covered his mouth in shock, and Mrs. Ning was also frightened.
"Are you sure the pheasant is lost?" Mrs. Ning asked again nervously.
Zhang nodded with a heavy face.
Liu listened to the movement in the courtyard in the room, and jumped up from the bed in anger, she couldn't wait to rush out immediately to reason with Zhang, what kind of person, a chicken with plague actually dared to take it back, this is not harmful to others and herself.
However, the remaining shred of sanity held her back. If you rush out regardless of it, it is not an admission that you are a chicken thief. Liu stomped his feet hatefully, and could only break his teeth and swallow them in his stomach, admitting that he was unlucky.
In the afternoon, seeing that there was no one in the yard, Liu quietly took out the bowl of chicken left in the morning and prepared to pour it. However, the moment she stepped out of the kitchen, Ning Xue'er appeared, she stood in front of Liu's family, smiling brightly, "Auntie, what are you holding in your hand?" ”
A hint of panic flashed on Liu's face, but she quickly calmed down, "It's nothing, it's just some leftovers, I'm going to feed the pigs." ”
After the words fell, the Liu family really went to the pigsty. Ning Xue'er was not in a hurry and followed behind her.
Liu was very disgusted, and she deliberately said, "Xue'er has been very idle lately? ”
Ning Xue'er replied: "Thank you aunt for your concern, the work is done, let me come to see what the aunt's family is eating today, there is still left?" ”
The Liu family cursed Ning Xue'er countless times in their hearts, but there was no way to get rid of her, so they had to go to the pigsty.
When I entered the pigsty, a pungent smell of came to my face. Liu covered her nose in disgust and wanted to quickly pour the chicken away, but when she remembered that Ning Xue'er was still behind, she deliberately hesitated a few times.
In the end, she came out of the pigsty with a bowl, and she even said to Ning Xue'er with a smile, "No, I think that I can still survive this leftover meal at noon at night." ”
Ning Xue'er didn't smile, "The eldest aunt is really a model of thrifty housekeeping. ”
At this point, Ning Xue'er had already understood that her pheasant was stolen by the Liu family. It's just that in order not to be too embarrassed on her face, she didn't bother to expose the Liu family.
Ryu smugly put the chicken back in the kitchen, and then she went out.
Ning Xue'er estimated that she was going to see the doctor, after all, she had already spoken, the chicken had chicken plague, and people like the Liu family were not allowed to go to the doctor.
In the evening, Ning Dachuan came back from the school, and when he entered the kitchen and saw that he had nothing to eat, he immediately became angry. Liu's mother-in-law was really lazy, so he had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and cook.
I opened the cupboard wide, but I found a bowl of chicken. Ning Dachuan smiled, it seems that this Liu clan is not useless.
Ning Dachuan immediately sat down and ate the chicken in one go.
In the evening, when Liu came back with her tired body, she immediately went to the kitchen to dispose of the bowl of chicken, however, she found that the chicken was missing. Liu immediately panicked, but she didn't dare to call. I had to go back to the room and ask Ning Dachuan sideways, Ning Dachuan was lying on the bed, reminiscing beautifully. As soon as Liu asked, he immediately nodded and said, "Eat, eat, don't say it, this meat is really delicious." ”
