"It's the New Year in the first month of the year. It's the first day of the new year..."
Early in the morning, Li Donglai felt refreshed and opened the door while humming a tune to welcome the new atmosphere of the New Year.
"Every household has a reunion...the young ones give New Year greetings to the old ones..."
"Ouch, silly Zhu, it's so early!"
Li Donglai saw Shazhu and Yu Juhua standing at the door and said with a smile.
"Of course, brother Donglai, you have helped us a lot, and we both will remember it in our hearts!"
As Yu Juhua spoke, she put He Hua on the ground and patted her little butt gently: "He Hua, go and give your godfather a New Year's greeting!"
Godfather... Li Donglai was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he was indeed Xiao Hehua's godfather.
Back then, when Yu Juhua had a difficult delivery, he was the one who sent her to the hospital and saved their mother and daughter's lives.
After being discharged from the hospital, Yu Juhua asked Xiao Hehua to become her godfather to Li Donglai.
However, Li Donglai had never cared about this, and he was really busy these days, so he actually forgot about it.
Little Hehua has a round face and big eyes, and looks very cute.
She walked up to Li Donglai crookedly on her calves, clasped her two chubby little hands together, and said in a childish voice: "Come on, Piggy, in the new billion years, may your family be happy, everything goes well, and you will be in good health."
The more I spoke, the more fluently I became, and my words seemed to be correct and well-tongued. This shows that I have practiced this New Year's greeting many times.
"Little Hehua is so smart!"
Li Donglai took out fifty cents from his pocket and put it into the pocket of Xiao Hehua's cotton-padded jacket: "Xiao Hehua, what are you going to do with the money?"
"Ang..." Little Hehua raised her little head and thought for a moment, frowned her eyebrows, and widened her eyes: "Little Hehua is still young. I don't know the answer to this question. I will tell you when I grow up.
.”
"..."
Li Donglai gave Xiao Hehua a thumbs up in his heart.
Silly Zhu and Yu Juhua are both big-headed and simple-minded, but the girl they gave birth to is a ghost.
Li Donglai was a little happy and bent down to tease her: "Xiao Hehua, since you don't know what you want the money for yet, why not give it to your godfather to keep it for you? Don't worry, your godfather doesn't want your money.
, I just keep it for you and return it to you when you grow up."
"No, no..." Xiao Hehua clenched the money in her hands tightly, pouted, and shook her little head like a rattle: "You are the godfather, not the biological father. I have to give the money to you."
My father keeps it..."
When Shazhu heard this, he immediately became happy and picked up Xiao Hehua.
"My good daughter..."
"Dad, tie your beard, tie your beard..."
Silly Zhu wanted to rub He Hua's little face, but Little He Hua looked disgusted and pushed his face with her chubby little hands.
"Hahaha." Yu Juhua laughed from the side.
At this time, Ding Qiunan also came out with Wei Dong and Wei Guo.
"Shazhu, chrysanthemum, happy new year."
After saying hello, Ding Qiunan touched the heads of Wei Dong and Wei Guo: "Quickly go and give your Uncle He and Aunt Yu a happy New Year."
The two little ones walked forward obediently, bowed to Shazhu and Yu Juhua, and said a long New Year's greeting.
"Good boy, really a good boy." Silly Zhu happily took out two 50-cent coins and put them into the pockets of Wei Dong and Wei Guo.
Li Donglai was watching and shook his head. The two children were doing well, but why did he always feel that He Hua was not as cute?
Is it true that only daughters are little cotton-padded jackets?
It seems like we should put the matter of having several more children on the agenda.
....
Although most of the residents in the courtyard are not related to each other, they all have pretty good relationships after living there for so long.
As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
During the Chinese New Year, children go from door to door to pay New Year greetings.
Wealthy families will give their children five cents as a new year's gift, while those with average financial conditions will give their children two candies.
I really didn’t want to give it, but the children didn’t mind. After saying a few New Year greetings, they went straight to the next house with their friends.
The air was filled with giggles.
For these children, the happiness brought by celebrating the New Year with their friends far exceeds those lucky money.
On the first day of the new year, the steel rolling mill laboratory has a day off. Li Donglai is going to take the children and Ding Qiunan to visit the temple fair.
As soon as the whole family went out, they heard a noise coming from the middle courtyard.
Hearing the voices that seemed to belong to Yu Qiuhua and Jia Zhang, Li Donglai shook his head in annoyance.
“It’s not easy to live in peace during the Chinese New Year.”
He turned his head and smiled apologetically at Ding Qiunan: "Qiunan, something happened in the middle courtyard. I have to go and take a look. Why don't you take the little sister and the children to the temple fair first, and I will go find you later."
"It's okay, it's still early, there are not many people on the street, and temple fairs need more people to be fun. We'll wait for you at home," Ding Qiunan said.
"That's okay."
Li Donglai touched Wei Dong and Wei Guo's little heads, turned around and left the Crescent Gate.
Before he reached the door of Jia's house, he saw a group of people gathered there.
Silly Zhu also stood in the crowd watching the excitement. When he saw Li Donglai coming, he quickly ran to greet him.
There was a weird smile on his face.
"Master, the Jia family is in big trouble this time!"
"What?" Li Donglai was surprised.
"Old Wangtou ran away!" Silly Zhu laughed loudly: "Not only did he run away, but he also took away all the valuable things in the Jia family's house, including meat, noodles, and, by the way, the radio."
"Early in the morning, Mrs. Jia Zhang found that everything was missing. She was so angry that she stood at the door and scolded Lao Wangtou."
"The result was heard by Yu Qiuhua."
"Yu Qiuhua is not a fool. Since Old Wangtou has run away, it means that he must be a liar."
"Yu Qiuhua immediately blocked the door of Jia's house and asked for money."
"Jia Zhang couldn't get it out, so the two of them started to quarrel."
....
After hearing the cause and effect of the incident, Li Donglai couldn't help but click his tongue.
Good guy, the Jia family lost both their wives and their troops this time.
Jia Zhang was deceived and her home was stolen.
Now he owes Yu Qiuhua even more money.
Well, today is the first day of the new year.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There will be a new atmosphere in the new year.
Not bad.
Cursing, Li Donglai walked into the crowd.
When people saw Li Donglai coming in, they all made way.
"Master is here, please stop arguing."
“It’s Chinese New Year, you guys are making noise here, what’s going on!”
....
When Yu Qiuhua saw Li Donglai, he immediately ran over with a sad expression: "Master, you have to make the decision for me. Jia Zhang and Lao Wangtou defrauded me of 150 yuan, and I saved that money."
My pension money is all gone now, how can I live?"
Mrs. Jia Zhang quickly distanced herself: "Master, don't listen to her nonsense. I was deceived by the old king, and I am also a victim."
"Jia Zhang, shut up. If it weren't for your guarantee, I would have believed in Lao Wangtou so much! You are an accomplice!" Yu Qiuhua pinched his waist with both hands.
He said in a cold voice: "These days, your Jia family eats white flour buns and meat every day. I really think you are on a high branch. It turns out that it is my money you spent. Please return the money to me!"
Yu Qiuhua is not a fool. Now that Old Wangtou has escaped, it will definitely be more difficult to catch him.
The best way to get the money back is to regard Jia Zhang as an accomplice of Lao Wangtou.
When Jia Zhang heard this, her face turned pale and she waved her hands quickly: "Yu Qiuhua, what nonsense are you talking about! I am also a victim."
"Are you being harmed? Two days ago, you and Lao Wangtou were inseparable. You even asked Banggeng to call Lao Wangtou grandpa. You even hid Lao Jia's picture frame and refused to let others call you Jia Zhang. You wanted to call you
Mrs. Wang Zhang, I see you are happy!"
Hearing Yu Qiuhua's words, the crowd burst into laughter.
The residents have long been dissatisfied with Jia Zhang and Lao Wangtou, who have been arguing and arguing all day long.
Two old men and women in their late fifties came together to feed each other... it was so eye-catching.
In particular, the children are at a curious age and always chase them to ask why Jia Zhang's screams are always heard in Jia's house at night.
Lao Wangtou is obviously beating Jia Zhang, why don't the adults help him?
"That's right, the Jia Zhang family is now the Wang Zhang family. You must be aware of what old Wangtou committed."
"Perhaps the reason why you lost something at home is because of the game between you and Lao Wangtou."
"It's simply ridiculous to try to whitewash yourself in this way."
"Do you really think we are all idiots?"
....
When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard the residents' discussions, her face turned pale and her heart ached.
She never imagined that all the efforts she had made in order to marry Lao Wangtou would now become evidence of her own crime.
Qin Huairu was beside her, originally prepared to speak for Jia Zhang, but now she also had doubts in her heart.
Last night, she tied up Lao Wang's head with a rope herself.
In order to prevent Old Wangtou from escaping, she tried her best to tie him up tightly.
It is impossible for Lao Wangtou to break free on his own.
Someone must help him.
This person can only be Jia Zhang who lives in the same house as Lao Wangtou.
After this strange idea came into Qin Huairu's mind, it never went away.
After all, Jia Zhang has a criminal record.
More than half a year ago, Mrs. Jia Zhang had squandered her family's money and eloped with a wild man.
She was probably also fascinated by Lao Wangtou this time, as evidenced by the sound of the earth shaking from the next door room every night.
After the two agreed, Jia and Zhang secretly let Lao Wangtou go, and also let Lao Wangtou steal Jia's belongings.
Then, Jia and Zhang found another opportunity to elope with Lao Wangtou.
Yes, that must be the case.
The more Qin Huairu thought about it, the more it made sense.
Anger rose in her heart.
Walk up to Jia Zhang.
Snapped!
Throw out a big butt bag.
This slapped Jia and Zhang into confusion.
"Qin Huairu, you, why did you hit me!" Jia Zhang covered her face in disbelief.
In her opinion, Qin Huairu should be her comrade in this matter.
Qin Huairu ignored her and walked up to Li Donglai, biting her lip: "Master, I think Jia Zhang and Lao Wangtou are accomplices. They worked together to defraud Yu Qiuhua of his money and also gave away our Jia family's money."
Something has been stolen, please catch her quickly."
As soon as these words came out, there was a gasp in the courtyard.
Is Qin Huairu starting to betray his teammates now?
Li Donglai frowned slightly: "Qin Huairu, do you have evidence for what you say?"
"Of course!" Qin Huairu straightened her chest and recounted her guess.
Jia Zhang's face changed greatly when she heard this: "Qin Huairu, you little prodigal, are you thinking that my old lady is useless, so you want to send my old lady to the fence?"
"Old Jia, please open your eyes and take a look..."
As Jia Zhang spoke, she wanted to summon Lao Jia, but there was a burst of laughter from the crowd.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, if Lao Jia comes back to life, you will be the first person he can't let go of!"
"That's right, you flirted with other men in front of Lao Jia's photo frame!"
"Tsk, tsk, old Jia is so pitiful."
....
The roar of laughter from the residents interrupted Jia Zhang's rhythm of summoning the undead.
You should be aware that Jia Zhang's summons is a magical summons, which requires the caster to have 100% confidence in his or her spells.
Now that Mrs. Jia Zhang feels guilty, the summoning cannot continue.
His face turned red from holding back.
"Yes, yes, Jia Zhang is an accomplice, call the police and arrest her quickly." Yu Qiuhua saw Jia Zhang being stabbed in the back by a teammate, and took advantage of the situation to launch an attack.
Li Donglai nodded: "Although it is not certain that Jia Zhang is an accomplice now, with such a big case happening in our yard, we naturally have to ask comrades from the police station to intervene."
He turned his head and looked at Yan Jiecheng who was standing aside: "Jiecheng, please ride your bicycle to the police station."
"Okay."
Yan Jiecheng ran away in a hurry.
During the Chinese New Year, the residents originally planned to go to the temple fair, but the police comrades solving the case would definitely be more interesting than the temple fair.
Besides, you have to spend money to visit the temple fair, right?
There was a free show to watch, and the residents became energetic. They went home and brought chairs and sat at the door of Jia's house.
When Si Zhu was moving the chairs, he also very considerately helped Li Donglai move one.
"Master, come on, please sit down. I told Juhua to call Sister-in-law Qiunan and take the children to watch the temple fair together."
"Let's just sit here today and watch the police comrades solve the case with peace of mind!"
When he said this, the corner of Shazhu's mouth curled up with a hint of pride.
Since marrying Yu Juhua, especially after having He Hua, Shazhu always feels like a fool when he recalls the past.
In those years, he spent a lot of money on Qin Huairu every year, and even risked being criticized by his boss by bringing leftovers from the canteen.
In the end, Qin Huairu was able to play Tie Tie with other men just for a steamed bun.
Isn't he just a great injustice?
As for the stick.
When I encounter trouble, the first person I think of is him.
The trouble was solved, he didn't even call him uncle, he always called him "Silly Zhu".
He is a white-eyed wolf.
Thinking of how much he asked for help and pretended to be a grandson to others because of this white-eyed wolf, Silly Zhu wanted to slap himself.
Now that the Jia family is in trouble, he is happy.
Of course, Li Donglai would not accuse Si Zhu of having wrong ideas at this time and that he should not add insult to injury.
After all, don’t encourage others to do good unless they have suffered.
Besides...Qin Huairu stole his stainless steel pot and hasn't returned it yet.
The two were chatting casually.
Several comrades from the police station, led by Yan Jiecheng, entered the courtyard.
The leader was He Yuyu's husband, Xiaoping Policeman.
Now the little policeman is qualified to be the team leader, but he is used to being called the big guy, so he still calls him the little policeman.
When the police officer saw Li Donglai, he laughed loudly: "Director Li, you don't want to let people be quiet during the Chinese New Year!"
Li Donglai stepped forward and shook hands with him.
