Chapter 3: The Vegetable Thief
After eating, it was eight o'clock to pack up. Li Xiao's homework during the winter vacation had already been completed, and when he saw that there was nothing to do, he went to the vegetable garden to find his grandfather Li Gen. From afar, I saw that the radishes and cabbages in the field were all pulled up, and only pits remained, which could have been left until February and March.
"Grandpa, I'm here, why did you pull out all the dishes" Li smiled puzzled
"Xiaoxiao is here, don't mention it, as soon as I arrived in the field today, I saw dozens of pits, and radish leaves were thrown everywhere," Li Gen said helplessly
"What, someone steals vegetables, who is this" It is not easy to know that their family grows this dish. Her father, Li Minghui, is a soldier who has been in the army for many years, and her stepmother has been with her sister all the time. So her family has no strong labor at all, only two old people in their sixties and her, she is only thirteen years old and still in school, and she can't do anything at all, and her grandparents won't let her do heavy work. Grandma Xu Hong's health is not too good, like the heavy work in the field can't be done at all, everything in the field is done by grandpa, so Li Xiao is not angry.
"I don't know, forget it, I don't know who it is, don't make a bad deal with the villagers," Li Gen said in his mouth, in fact, he was also a little distressed. In this era, you need a ticket to buy anything, and it is difficult to buy anything with money. Everyone lives in the field, especially in February and March, when there is no green and yellow, they rely on home-made spicy cabbage, pickled radish pickles or something, but they can't stand being mistreated by others like this. Although these dishes can be grown, they have to be pulled home now.
"Alright then, you're up to the cracks anyway. So many dishes, I'll go home and bring a flat pole and a basket."
"Well, go ahead, watch the little bit walk under your feet, don't fall"
"I know, they're not children anymore," Li Xiao said as he walked back
Xu Hong was feeding the chickens, and she was a little surprised to see her granddaughter come back so soon, you must know that this girl would wait to come back with her grandfather every time she went to find her
"Why are you one, what about your master?"
"Grandma, I'll come back and get a flat pole and a basket to pick radishes and cabbage in the field," Li Xiao replied to grandma's words as she went into the house to get something
"Why do you have to pick, you can eat a few when you come back," Xu Hong was puzzled
"Grandma, don't say it, someone stole our family's vegetables, don't pull it out and wait for someone else to be cheaper"
"What, how can this be? I'll take a look too" Xu Hong put down the chicken food, took the lock and went to close the door
Li Xiao was not in a hurry to leave, waiting to go together. Walking to the field, Grandpa Li Gen had already thrown all the radishes and piled them together, and was making Chinese cabbage.
"Old woman, why are you here too?"
"Can I not come, there are so many dishes, I'll get cabbage, you move the radish back first"
Li Xiao and his grandfather packed the radish first and then went to get the cabbage, and Li Gen went back with the radish first.
"Grandma, who do you think will do it?"
"Who else can it be, it must be a second-rate family"
"Hey, grandma, when you say that, I also think it's eh" The more Li Xiao thought about it, the more he felt that it was like this, "Why is this person like this, he doesn't do anything good all day long"
"There is no way to meet this kind of person, I can only consider myself unlucky, just treat it as if I didn't grow these dozens of vegetables" Xu Hong was also very helpless
"I think she just thinks our family is easy to talk to, otherwise why wouldn't she dare to steal someone else's" Li Xiao looked at her grandmother and didn't answer with a smile, and also sped up the movements in her hands, you must know that so many dishes are not easy today.
In fact, she said that although everything is very tense in this era, but now her family's conditions in Willow Village are also very good, and there is no need to fight with such an old man.
