Chapter 104: Stealing Chickens and Eating Rice
There was no food, and the people living in the compound of the village committee were dumbfounded, and an elderly man shook his head and kept tugging on the sleeve of the village secretary, and whispered: "How can there be no food?" How can there be no food? ”
On the first day of the food shortage, the women and the elderly of the village committee came out with their children in their arms, starting from the first family on the mountain, knocking on the door and borrowing food.
Rural people have the habit of storing grain, Li Yu village is near the mountain, because of the terrain, the ground is mostly planted with corn and sweet potatoes, both of which are known for their high yield, because they are not valuable, everyone collects them and puts them in the old houses on the mountain.
said that he would not give food, but when he really begged for the door, everyone couldn't wipe his face and give it.
After being knocked on the door for a few days one after another, everyone's hearts were also softened, and everyone sent food to the village committee!
As a result, when the food was delivered, some people complained, saying that the things sent were not oily and water, and the village secretary heard this, and his face changed at that time.
But this was only the beginning, and in the following month and a half, this happened from time to time, and in the end everyone almost tore their faces, and now it is not so much that they are willing to take food, but that they are forced to do it.
Although the villagers on the mountain occupy a large part of the population, the elderly and children account for a large part, and the village committee is mainly young and middle-aged.
Just weigh each other and maintain a just right balance.
What broke the balance was that not long ago, several people from the village committee went to the scenic spot at the bottom of the mountain to touch things, and they were gnawed into skeletons by fish in the water.
When they could not go into the water, they became the only source of food for the group of people in the village committee.
From that day on, the group of people in the village committee looked at them differently.
Becoming bolder and more unscrupulous, more and more people wandered around the village, and many people close to the village committee began to lose their livestock.
At first, it was eggs, then free-range chickens and ducks, and finally cattle and sheep.
One night, several members of the village committee entered the Huang family in the west of the village to steal sheep, but were cut in the arm by the fierce Huang Lao Niang with a sickle for beating wheat.
That night, the lights were bright.
The men in the village committee compound and the men in the village all gathered at the door of Huang's house, crowded on the old street in front of Huangjia Hutong, and were so angry that they were about to fight, but they were stopped by the village chief who came in time.
Unrelated people stayed outside, and the village chief took Huang Lao Niang and the injured man into the house.
Huang Lao Niang was young and widowed, when her husband died, she only left a daughter less than one year old, forty years ago, in the countryside, men were the main labor, there was no man, only a milk doll, Huang Lao Niang was a person to pull the eldest daughter, how strong her character can be imagined.
The daughter married in the county seat, usually she lives alone in the mountains, grows vegetables to raise livestock to subsidize the family, and the single old man lives on the mountain by himself, and Huang Lao Niang always puts a sickle at hand when she sleeps at night.
The old man woke up from sleep, and when he heard the door, Huang Lao Niang got up, and when she saw someone touching the sheepfold, Huang Lao Niang didn't think about it, picked up the sickle and rushed out.
The momentum is fierce, and he cut off the arm of the kid holding the sheep with a knife.
It's not an exaggeration to say that it was a cut, Huang Lao Niang didn't leave his hand at all, if it weren't for the cleverness of the person who stole the sheep and blocked it with the sheep in his hand, it is estimated that Huang Lao Niang would be able to cut off his arm.
But just like that, a cut of seven or eight centimeters was cut on the man's right arm near his elbow.
I'm busy picking up my stuff bag right now.
The village chief didn't see it when he saw it, and scolded in his heart that he deserved it, why didn't he kill you little rabbit cub, but there was still a gentle smile on his face, and he covered his eyes with a big flag, saying that it was all an accident, and Huang Lao Niang didn't mean it, it was not worth it to let so many people work together, so let's call the shots, take five catties of food, let's go back to sleep early.
There was no reaction on the other side, Huang Lao Niang couldn't stand it, she stole her sheep and wanted her to lose five catties of grain, is there any reason in this world? Huang Lao Niang's eyes widened at that time, and the sickle in her left hand was also changed to her right hand, and she stepped forward with her body, wanting to carefully reason with the sheep thief opposite.
was forcibly stopped by the village chief.
It's all for peace, this matter is still mentioned by the village chief, seeing Huang Lao Niang like this, he pulled Huang Lao Niang hard, and wanted to reason with her, and remembered this Huang Lao Niang's usual behavior, gritted his teeth in pain, leaned over and whispered, you don't need to come out of this food, I come out, I can't go out?
Real or fake? Mrs. Huang's eyes clearly showed disbelief.
Really, no one dares to lie to you!
Mrs. Huang: I believe it.
But Huang Lao Niang barely stabilized herself without having to produce her own food, but when she heard that she only gave this little thing, she almost jumped up and shouted no, what are you kidding, this old pious woman cut off his arm with a sickle, and she only paid five catties of food? No, how can this work.
So how much do you want?
Not to mention the village chief, Huang Lao Niang's face is black even if she doesn't have to produce food, she thinks that this kid has a brain problem, and he was cut because of stealing things, which is also the village chief's heart, if she lets her give food, then she doesn't say five catties, she won't take a grain, steal my things and I want to pay you food, do your spring and autumn dreams!
But this is still the beginning, when the kid said that he wanted 150 catties of white rice and ten catties of fresh mutton, Huang Lao Niang and the village chief's faces were not black, and the village chief wanted to ask Huang Lao Niang if he still had a sickle at home, and if so, he would lend him one.
But in this way, the two of them still look like you are taking advantage of the big advantage, and ask with their mouths open, and they don't want bacon for meat, they want fresh meat, anyway, the sheep in the yard who blocked the knife can't live, just cut ten catties to them.
Not to mention that this sheep Huang Niang is not so popular, when it comes to this sheep, Huang Lao Niang doesn't even mean to slow down, and the sickle in her hand is directly cut over.
Nima, that sheep has just finished mating with a ram, maybe now there is a lamb in his belly, and he has created a great sin in his previous life, and he has blocked the knife for your lack of virtue.
Seeing that the sickle was about to be slashed on his body, the man who was cut didn't say that it hurt, and immediately jumped up and hid back.
But he forgot that there was a "good brother" behind him who followed up to help with the boxing, and the person behind him didn't react to this jump, and the two of them directly brought down the chair under their buttocks and fell into a nest.
Huang Lao Niang walked around the village chief, jumped over with her hand on the table, and rode on the two people and began to chop with a sickle.
