Chapter 65: It's not over yet
Regardless of how bad the gossip is about our family, there are still people who come to my house to change things these days.
Most of them are exchanged for charcoal with rice, white flour, and snacks at home, and I estimate that they are all families who have some stocks at home, and if there is not enough food to eat, they will not use food to cook with branches.
Just like Aunt Zhang's house upstairs, at the beginning, they said that the trees cut down at home were not easy to burn, and they wanted to buy some charcoal with our family money, but when we said that the money was not good and we had to exchange it for food, their family was silent, and they didn't say that the branches were not good to burn, and they could use it.
There are still very few people who secretly want to exchange some meat and vegetables, it is estimated that there is a lot of food in the house, and we want to improve the food, but we did not change it. First, our family is not short of food, and the main reason for changing charcoal for our neighbors is to simplify trivial things, if you want something, you can exchange it for something of the same value, and it is useless to play the emotional card in our house. Second, if we take out the meat and vegetables to exchange food with our neighbors, it will confirm the rumor that our family has a lot of supplies, and some troubles will be unavoidable in the future, so we can change the charcoal, and there will be no other in my family.
And we don't all of them change, just the more than 50 families in our building give each family a maximum of 20 pounds, and only once. We took out a total of 500 catties of charcoal, first come, first served, and there was no one when we were late.
The neighbors who came to exchange charcoal looked at me with disdain after the change, and I wondered, how could this be regarded as me helping them, why did I end up despising them?
Jiang Zhi explained my confusion, he said: "They are like this, mainly because we did not carry forward the love of neighbors and the same building, and did not give them things for nothing." Therefore, we think that our hearts are black, our blood is cold, and the whole person is inhumane. ”
I nodded and understood, my blood is still colder.
If they try to make me feel guilty and upset with their eyes, they are very wrong, and I wish they would ignore me. The charcoal in our house is not blown by the wind, and we have also paid hard work.
That night in the space, after Jiang Zhi and I were double repaired, we lay on the big bed in the bedroom and chatted, because I think that one person's happiness depends on one's own grasp, but the marriage of two people must be managed by both parties. It's not that two people have love, and their marriage is naturally happy.
Jiang Zhi and I agreed when we first got married that we should communicate more after marriage. People say, "When they are in love, most of the men and women pour out their tenderness and sweetness through some trivial and inconsequential 'nonsense'." Similarly, after marriage, communication between husband and wife is a message wave that conveys affection, trust, and respect. The relationship between husband and wife is like water in a small river pond, it is too calm if it does not flow, but it is easy to dry up. "So, we basically take a little time out every day to talk to each other, even if we don't have anything to say, we will also talk about things at home.
"You say, do the neighbors think that our family is Huang Shiren now?" I asked comfortably lying in Jiang Zhi's arms.
"That's not better, others in the province are always worried about our family." Jiang Zhi groped my arm with his hand.
"It's all to blame for the old Zhang family upstairs, we gave her nearly 3 catties of charcoal for nothing, it's really blind, if only I didn't open the door for her at that time."
"Come on, if you don't open the door, you will know that it was her who knocked on the door, and besides, it was our mother who opened the door that day, and our mother has only lived in this community for a few days, how can you know what kind of person she is." Jiang Zhi disagreed with my idea.
"Also, you see the day their family went out, didn't we still open the door for them, anyway, they have been neighbors for so many years, we used to know what she was like, at most we ignored her, just hide.
But now she didn't do anything angry and resentful, just annoying people, just saying that her family Tingting bit our son that day, it was just a fight between children, we were very angry, but it was impossible for the two families not to get along with each other because of this, and there is no old Zhang family, and the old Li family and the old Wang family, we can still not come and go, and live by ourselves. "I really think that the old Zhang family upstairs belongs to the toad, and they don't bite people, but they are not enough to be heinous bad people.
"You just know this truth, with our current strength, we can clean them up and play with them. Their ability is to be able to take advantage of our family with their thick skin, we are not afraid, so we should give them something and tease them. You see how energetic our mother has been in the past two days, ready to fight at any time, this is not better than thinking about it at home every day. ”
Well, Jiang Zhi is right, my mother-in-law has been a little excited in the past two days, and I guess she is still looking forward to people coming to find fault, she has a chance to play.
I don't think about it anymore, as long as their family stops in the future, I won't pursue her going around smearing me.
I thought it was over, but one night a few days later. I was carefully drawing talismans in the space, and I sensed that someone outside had touched the warning talisman, and hurriedly called Jiang Zhi, who was recovering the land, to go out of the space together.
The warning charm in the living room spontaneously combusted without wind and had turned into a handful of paper ashes.
We searched around the house and didn't find any problems, so we listened carefully in the living room and found that there was a sound of the glass being cut, coming from the guest room.
Jiang Zhi and I glanced at each other and acted separately.
Hanhan is in space now, I don't have to worry. I went to guard in front of Jiang's father and Jiang's mother's room, afraid that they would hear the movement and rush over after a while.
Jiang Zhi entered the guest room by himself, and I was not worried at all. He is no different from a year ago. Now Jiang Zhi's aura control is very proficient, as well as a hand of stunt knife skills, just now I saw him take a picture of himself light talisman and body talisman, although now he can't fly the eaves and walk the wall, invulnerable, but he is also as light as a swallow, indestructible, plus he himself is still infinitely powerful. So as long as there is no one who drags him back, a few thieves should not be a big problem.
However, after all, it is still a legal society, and the police are still good, so I took out my mobile phone and dialed 110 to call the police.
In just a few minutes, Jiang Zhi came out of the guest room, carrying two people who had been knocked unconscious, and I could vaguely identify one of them from the two faces with a blue nose and swollen face, one of which was Zhang Musen upstairs, and the other man did not know.
I quickly took out the rope and tied them up, and at the end I kicked them twice with my foot.
The police came to my house half an hour later, and I think if I had counted on them to save me, the daylilies were cold.
But when I saw the snow flakes still flying outside, I understood. I am still very grateful and touched that the police can come at this time in this weather.
It could be seen that they had come on foot, their faces and noses and ears were red from the cold, and there was a thick layer of snow on their military coats, and thick ice on their legs and feet. This is walking in the snow, and when the snow meets people's body temperature, it turns into water, and the water wets their trouser legs, and the weather is too cold, and the wet trouser legs are frozen into ice lumps. So it's not easy for them to come.
There were three police officers here this time, and one of them we still know is Officer Qi, who handled the case for us when there was a burglary in our house last time.
We hurriedly let the three of them into the house, and Jiang's mother and Jiang's father also came out of the bedroom, and when they saw this situation, they lit two more charcoal stoves and put them at their feet.
Officer Qi asked us about the situation, looked at the two people who were still unconscious, and estimated that they would not wake up tonight, so they did not leave in a hurry, but sat down and chatted with us.
It turned out that when we reported the case, Captain Qi felt very familiar with the address when he heard it, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered us, so he came with two police comrades, and they said that the traffic in the city is particularly bad now, only the main road can still be driven, and the other streets have to walk. So they came from the police station more than a thousand meters away, and the snow on the ground was too thick and too difficult to walk, so they walked for half an hour to arrive.
Then he told us that the world is not good now, the weather is too cold, and there is no place to buy food, even if there is a sale, it is now bartering, so there are often cases of robbery, but generally no one can be caught, because by the time the police arrive, the robbers have long since disappeared, and in such bad weather, it is impossible to track down such a case. But as long as they are caught, they will be severely punished and sentenced.
They also came today with the idea of doing their best, but they didn't expect us to subdue the gangsters ourselves.
While we were chatting, Mama Jiang roasted more than 10 big sweet potatoes on the stove, and when the sweet potatoes were roasted to give their fragrance, it was seen that the attention of these policemen was diverted, and they were not attentive to talking to us. Looks like they're not having a good time these days.
After the sweet potatoes were baked, they were not polite, just a few bites, and the three of them solved all the sweet potatoes in a few minutes, and there were still some unfinished things.
Then they took the two thieves who were still unconscious. When leaving, Officer Qi told Jiang Zhi that he would come to our house tomorrow to verify the case. Jiang Zhi asked all three of them to come over. Officer Qi didn't say anything and left.
I heard the sound of slapping meat in the corridor at home, so I asked Jiang Zhi with my eyes, Jiang Zhi put his arm around me and walked to the living room, and said: "That should be the police waking up the two thieves, otherwise it is such a cold weather, the road is so difficult, but no one can carry them back to the police station." ”
I shuddered, listening to the voice just now, these policemen were ruthless enough.
Jiang Zhi also said to me: "Tomorrow Officer Qi and they will come, let's make some delicious entertainment." We'll give them something when they're gone. ”
I said, "Okay, it's not easy to see them, just now I saw that their cotton pants are wet, how cold it is." ”
Jiang Zhi also said: "Yes." This Officer Qi is a good person, those two little policemen can get together with Officer Qi, and it is estimated that they are also Officer Qi's people, so it should be good. It's someone we can associate with, we can help appropriately, maybe it will be useful in the future. ”
