Chapter 74: Determined to eavesdrop
Ah Qiao's hands had not yet touched the water, and when he heard the sound of banging on the door, he was so frightened that he jumped all the way back to his grandmother like a frightened rabbit.
Ten and a half-year-old Archie subconsciously picked up a thick stick.
Only Grandma was not startled by the hurried knock on the door.
"Who?" She asked loudly with a raised voice, her voice full of breath and penetrating.
"Grandma Archie, I'm the village chief. You open the door, and the township cadres have something to say to you. ”
Listening to the voice is indeed the village chief. Grandma, who positions herself in the "ordinary, ordinary" little people, is not calm now, the sky is almost dark, the township cadres are looking for her at this time, and there is something to say, why does it feel so weird?
Grandma made a gesture to go out, but was dragged by Archie: "Will there be fraud?" ”
Grandma disagreed. She took two steps out, and suddenly stopped again. I guess it's better to be safe. She took the phone out of her slanted pocket, handed it to Archie, and told Ah Qiao to stay in the kitchen with her brother.
Before grandma went out, she also turned on the kitchen light.
Although they didn't specifically give them any instructions, Archie and Ah Qiao already understood it.
Grandma blacked out the kitchen light because she didn't want to expose the location of the little brother and sister; Told the younger sister to stay in the kitchen with the elder brother, and gave the mobile phone to the elder brother, the younger brother and sister could sneak into the yard through the crack in the kitchen door, if the village chief was really deceived (for example, the village chief was forced by a fugitive to lie and hide in Archie's house), Archie could take the phone to call the police.
Grandma covered the kitchen door and strode across the yard to open the gate.
It was dark, but it was far from dark, and the people outside the door only needed to walk into the courtyard a little before they could fall into the sight of the little brother and sister. But the people outside the door didn't enter the yard, so they talked to grandma at the door.
Grunting, grunting, the speed of speech is quite urgent, and the accent is really "rustic" is not very strong, like a cadre holding back to speak Mandarin.
"What are they talking about?" Ah Qiao asked her brother in a low voice.
"You have to go out, come closer to hear clearly." Archie was so anxious that he almost scratched his ears and cheeks.
"Shall we go and hear it?"
Ah Qiao asked this because she caught a hint of a familiar sound. After a little recollection, it was immediately confirmed that it was the voice of the fat village chief. A soprano who always speaks with a smile.
Because of her grandmother's appendicitis surgery, she and her brother were bent on surprise their sick grandmother, so they hurried late at night without knowing the severity of the situation, and they didn't know how to cut corners, and they met four hungry wolves.
After the fat township chief heard about it, Baba rushed over, without introducing himself, grabbed his grandmother's hand, hugged Ah Qiao, and said for a long time "I am very guilty, it is my dereliction of duty" and something like that, Ah Qiao was confused, but he always remembered that the fat township chief's body was very soft, like fermented steamed buns that had just come out of the pot, and everything was soft.
Well, the white rabbit toffee and golden monkey hard candy sent by the township chief are very delicious. I obviously have one in my mouth, but I can't help but think about the delicious food that I want to eat.
The sister's proposal is in Archie's arms.
He knew that his sister would not be left alone in the kitchen, so he whispered to her that she must remember to hide behind him. The earth dog Guoguo seemed to feel something, and no longer bit Ah Qiao's trouser leg, but played forward decently and walked in front of the little master.
The two of them, a dog, a stick, and a shadow on the ground, tiptoed towards the gate.
