Chapter 57
Chen Qi was Xia Ze who left overnight. He used a flashlight and walked all the way over the mountains and ridges to Keqiao Town. There is a national highway here, and you can ride a bicycle to reach the city smoothly.
When the school opened in the morning, he sat in the classroom smoothly.
Of course, after driving all night, I was as tired as a dog. Anyway, for the first time, monitor Chen fell asleep in the classroom.
Fortunately, the school teachers knew that he was a top student and did not make things difficult for him. Instead, they considerately lowered their voices and asked him to sleep well.
After dawn, the Jin family in Xiaze Village let out an earth-shattering cry:
"Oh my gosh, where are my cows? Where's the food? Oops, my bicycle is missing too~~~"
So many things were lost overnight. This is definitely a serious case. The Xingtang Police Station will dispatch the police immediately, which is much faster.
But after searching for a long time, there were no clues.
When the police investigate a case, they want to find out the motive for committing the crime. If anyone has a grudge against the Jin family in the past few days, it is none other than the four siblings of the Chen family.
The police thought so, and so did the Jin family.
Anyway, Luo Cuifeng's sharp voice has been floating in the village: "It must be the Chen family, it must be the Chen family, comrade police, hurry up and arrest the Chen family~~~~"
Director Zhang of the police station was a little embarrassed. After communicating with his subordinates for a long time, he could only shake his head:
"Lao Jin, although the Chen family has a motive for committing the crime, it can be considered a coincidence, but there is really no evidence that the Chen family did it, and we can't just accuse people casually. Come and take a look, your family lost two cows and a dog, but there is nothing on the ground.
Traces of walking, right?
In addition, your family’s five granaries contain at least 10 tons, right? How long will it take for you to carry so much grain? It’s impossible not to hear any sound. If your family didn’t hear it, did your neighbors hear it?
Arrive?
Think about it again, there are four children in the Chen family, the silly eldest sister is injured, the younger brother and the younger sister are only 13 years old, and the second oldest child in the Chen family rode a bicycle back to school yesterday afternoon. This is what everyone saw. Besides, he alone
Can humans do it?
So let me be fair, if you just accuse others of some things casually, you will really make that Chen Laoer anxious. He is in the city and knows so many teachers. If you just go and accuse others, your family will suffer.
Walk around."
Secretary Jin smoked a cigarette and remained silent, obviously thinking about this.
But his daughter-in-law Luo Cuifeng refused:
"What do you mean by suing our family? What happened to our family? We paid for the beating and there is a letter of understanding. Why does he, a thief, sue us?"
Zhang So was speechless, thinking that rural people really have long hair and short knowledge, so he reminded:
"Don't forget, where did these two farm cattle come from? I remember they were cattle from the village, right? How did they become yours? Also, other people's families don't have enough to eat, so how did your family get more than 20,000 kilograms?
Food? This really needs to be investigated. How do you, the Jin family, explain it?"
"We..."
Jin Kangsheng slapped the table: "Okay, Cuifeng, listen to Director Zhang. If you are anxious, you will jump over the wall. Chen family, let's settle the accounts slowly in the future."
Director Zhang knows exactly what kind of cattle, grain, and how it comes from. Secretary Jin also knows it himself. If you really want to find out, go to the prison for a visit.
Luo Cuifeng was still swearing, and her hatred for the Chen family reached its peak.
The villagers in Xiaze Village were all pointing around the Jin family. They all felt as if they were looking at the fact that so many things had been stolen from the Jin family. Everyone despised the village party secretary and his family.
But when Jin Kangsheng walked out of the house, the villagers immediately pretended to be "face-changing", asking for help, and were filled with indignation. They are all good actors.
The police searched for a long time and found nothing. There were many suspicions. Moreover, the Jin family agreed not to report the case, so the matter was finally dropped.
Afterwards, the more Director Zhang thought about it, the more wrong he became. After returning to the police station, he quietly made a phone call to the medical school to confirm that Chen Qi had been attending class in the morning, and then he dropped his suspicions about him.
It's just that he couldn't figure it out. How did the Jin family lose all their cattle and so much food? This was something he couldn't figure out for the rest of his life.
In the classroom of the health school in central Vietnam.
Chen Qi was woken up by a few best friends. It was already noon and it was time to eat.
Wang Shanong and the others knew that the eldest sister of the Chen family had been beaten and had a broken bone, so they asked a little worriedly: "Is the eldest sister okay?"
Chen Qi gestured: "The collarbone on the left side was fractured. It was beaten by the party secretary of our village. The whole family is a local emperor, so in the end we had to negotiate."
Ding Bitao was so angry that he slapped his palm on the table: "These local emperors are really lawless, and I don't know who can control them."
Yin Jigang saw it more clearly: "What are the virtues of village cadres? We who come from the countryside all know that they are a group of people who bully the weak and fear the strong. I am afraid that if the eldest sister and the others are in the village, they will continue to be bullied in the future."
The four of them were a little silent after hearing this.
Things were better a few decades later, but in 1981, rural clan power was very powerful, so powerful that even the government couldn't control it.
All matters in the village are resolved internally, so once they are targeted by village cadres (tribal elders), the family will almost never have peace.
At this time, Chen Qi suddenly had an idea and thought of what Uncle Jin said in the police station:
"We heroes don't suffer the loss now. When you are successful in the future, we will take your eldest sister, younger brothers and sisters out of the mountains and live in the city. Then you won't have to look at the face of that old boy Jin Kangsheng..."
Right, since he cannot return to his hometown to take care of his family, it is unlikely that he will return to Xiaze Village to live in the foreseeable future.
Moving family members out is also a good way to solve future problems.
Chen Qi slapped himself on the head and felt that his thinking was still too limited and he had never thought of jumping out of the problem to solve the problem.
Money to buy a house is not a problem for him
But now there are two difficulties. One is that there were no commercial houses in 1981. If you want to buy a house in the city, where can you buy it?
The other ones, Silly Sister, Chen Shu, and Chen Hua all have rural hukou. Even if they buy a house in the city, their hukou cannot be moved out. It will be a huge problem to transfer to urban hukou in the future.
If you don’t have a household registration, how do you solve the problem of younger siblings who want to study in the city?
Just when Chen Qi was full of thoughts, Li Baotian appeared at the door of the classroom and waved to him, his face looking very excited.
Chen Qi walked out of the classroom and asked strangely: "Teacher Li, are you picking up money? You are so happy."
Li Baotian chuckled: "I'm not picking up money. Let's go and show you something."
In the anatomy classroom, Chen Qi saw the beautiful "coral" for the first time, and it was placed quietly on the table.
