The pond is in a field of crops and is surrounded by weeds.

The three of them split up to look for clues.

Li Qiao saw a touch of red trapped in the mud by the pond, and when she got closer, she realized that it was candy paper, she couldn't help but look at it for two more seconds, and then continued to look elsewhere, and after finding nothing, she suggested visiting a nearby village.

Xu Feng said: "People from the police force must have visited. ”

Li Qiao: "You can't come for nothing, ask again, maybe there will be a harvest." ”

Ma Ling agreed.

Two to one, Xu Feng had to accompany him.

After several inquiries, no one in the village was missing, and no one was seen.

Xu Feng: "I'll just say it's no result." ”

The weather was hot, and when passing by the village entrance store, Li Qiao said, "I invite you to eat popsicles." ”

Xu Feng took the lead: "I please, I please." "How can there be a reason to ask the girl's house for a treat? He stepped into the commissary.

Li Qiao and Ma Ling stood in the shade of the trees.

"Thank you, Third Uncle."

"Thank you, Third Uncle."

“.”

The immature children's voice attracted Li Qiao's attention.

A middle-aged man with a short figure of five holds colorful candy in his hand and gives it to passing children.

She suddenly remembered the candy wrappers she had seen by the pond.

The most popular thing sold in the village commissary was square lard candy, wrapped in a thin layer of paper, for three dollars a penny.

The color packaging is gummies, she has only seen it in the supply and marketing cooperatives, by the pound, and needs sugar stamps, but when it comes to tickets, it is not something that ordinary people can get. Earlier, when Qin Jin resold fertilizer, he got back two catties of sugar stamps.

Grandma is such a generous person, she is reluctant to change the sugar for her to eat when she gets the sugar ticket, but puts it away and says that she will change it during the New Year.

The child's uncle is not a father, is he too generous?

The middle-aged man noticed that someone was looking at him, and turned his head to meet Li Qiao's eyes.

Li Qiao smiled: "Hello uncle, they are all nephews and nieces of your family." ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and said with a kind smile: "How can I have such a good life, I am a child in the village, and I can't help but be nice to them when I look at it." ”

Li Qiao put a question mark in his heart, will there be good in the world for no reason?

"I see you two are a little blind, aren't you from our village?"

Ma Ling: "We are from the criminal police team of Liuhe Road in the county seat, and we came to investigate the case." Have you seen a fresh face enter the village in the past few days? ”

"Isn't that you?"

At this time, Xu Feng walked out with three red bean popsicles.

"It's my favorite taste, thank you." Li Qiao shifted his attention to his uncle, took the popsicle in Xu Feng's hand, and opened the wrapper to eat.

When Xu Feng urged him to leave, Li Qiao subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the uncle, and the person was gone.

There are still a few candy wrappers that the children have thrown away on the ground. She stepped forward to pick it up, and saw that it seemed to be a material by the pond.

Xu Feng said: "What are you picking up that thing for?" ”

Li Qiao said: "Go back to the pond, I may have new discoveries." ”

Xu Feng said curiously: "What did you find?" Why didn't you notice where you just was? ”

Li Qiao explained as he walked.

Ma Ling smiled: "Where don't you run when the candy paper wind blows?" ”

Li Qiao: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." ”

The candy wrappers by the pond were still there, and she packed them in plastic bags and went back to the department with two colleagues. As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw Li Dalu and the three of them. She asked, "How did you do on the exam?" ”

Li Fang sighed: "Don't mention it, it's not that you don't know my academic qualifications, I can't understand many topics, Da Lu and Xiao Nan said that he finished writing." Shall we go to the cigarette factory to sign up? ”

Li Qiao said in his heart, what kind of education do you have? Not a high school graduate? She looked up at the sun, it was almost noon, there was still a distance from the criminal police team to the tobacco factory, and she couldn't wait until the lunch break, and the people would not entertain her. "Don't worry, have you eaten? I invite you to noodles. ”

"That's embarrassing." Li Fang said this, and her heart jumped.

Qin Erliuzi is said to have become a 10,000-yuan household by reselling fertilizers, and his family is doing weaving, Li Qiao is still the champion, not to mention inviting them to eat noodles, and they can afford to go to the restaurant.

Eating noodles is still stingy.

Li Dalu and Li Xiaonan are not very embarrassed:

"No need to be Qiaoqiao, we can make do with everything ourselves."

Li Qiao pointed with his small hand: "There is a noodle restaurant there, and there is fried rice, and the portion is very large." You're welcome, go! ”

She led the three of them into the noodle restaurant: "What do you want to eat?" Hurry. ”

Li Fang: "I want a beef noodle." ”

"I'll just eat green vegetable noodles."

"Me too."

Li Qiao asked for one beef noodle and two green vegetable noodles, considering the large amount of food for the boy, she bought two chicken legs and two poached eggs.

Beef noodles are five cents and five pounds, and green vegetable noodles are two cents and five. The chicken thigh is a dime and a penny, and the egg is a dime and a penny.

Spend a total of four cents and five cents.

After Li Qiao paid the bill: "After you finish eating, wait for me at the gate." "She's gone.

"Whoa."

Li Fang was hungry for chicken thighs and eggs, and looked at the beef in his bowl, which was not fragrant in an instant. She whispered: "Qiao Qiao is really rich, and he has several yuan in his pocket casually, Qin Erliuzi is really profitable." "Their family doesn't need a lot of money a month.

"People Qiaoqiao took us to sign up and eat, how can you say that people are second-rate? It doesn't have to be the money Qin Jin earned, it may be the bonus given by the school and the county. Otherwise, why did Li Jinhua do everything possible to steal the notice? Li Dalu said.

Li Fang was extremely embarrassed: "I said it smoothly, not on purpose." She interrupted: "If both of you are admitted to the farm, but I am not admitted, my mother can kill me, the cigarette factory test, can you let me copy the road?" ”

Li Dalu: "I don't dare. ”

“.”

The three of them looked for Li Qiao after dinner, the weather was hot, and there was no place to shade the sun at the door.

Li Fang complained a little: "Qiao Qiao is too, shouting us to wait, there is no specific time, and he died of sunburning." ”

was complaining, Li Qiao's figure appeared in sight, followed by a heroic young man, she called: "Qiao Qiao." ”

Li Qiao waved at him, walked closer and said, "This is my colleague, Liao Fan, he knows people from the cigarette factory, and it is easy to sign up." ”

"Hello."

Li Fang's eyes immediately lit up, at the age of his early twenties, he looked heroic. She doesn't have a partner yet, if she can get along with the young man in front of her, how face-saving it would be to go home? She bowed her head shyly: "You, hello." ”

"Hello."

"Hello."

Li Dalu and Li Xiaonan greeted each other.

The cigarette factory is not far away, and a few people walk to it.

Li Fang pulled Li Qiao to deliberately lag behind, and whispered: "Qiao Qiao, do you have a colleague with a partner?" ”

Li Qiao didn't understand Li Fang's intentions: "I don't know, why are you asking this?" ”

Li Fang was shy and timid, and said, "I don't have a partner." ”

Li Qiao understood and wanted to call her a matchmaker. She said directly: "Liao Fan, do you have a partner?" ”

Li Fang: "." This Li Qiao, how can he ask this in public? Li Dalu and Li Xiaonan went back and talked nonsense, how will she see people in the future?

Liao Fan looked at Li Qiao, and then at Li Fang next to her, and said generously: "No, what's wrong?" You're going to introduce me to one? ”
