Chapter 64 It is suspected that the Jiang family robbed the rice
Unexpectedly, the Jiang family refused without even opening the door. Lin Desheng was stunned for a while, and then said loudly: "I brought a pound of rice. If I don't change it too much, I can exchange it for half a pound of meat. How about that?"
"No change!"
"What about three taels of meat in exchange?"
Everyone was hesitant now.
Jiang Qingshan insisted on his previous point of view and whispered: "Don't change. This fire is facing the courtyard door. As soon as he opens the door, he can see that this is not a chicken."
"I agree! Besides, a pound of rice is not much. There are so many people in our family, and a bowl of rice is almost two or two meters. Even cooked rice is not enough for each of us to eat a bowl."
"Yes, we don't need much rice," Dadongzi said. "When the market becomes more relaxed at the beginning of the year, I will help you, my parents, buy rice on the black market."
After Wu Chaozi listened to what everyone said, he walked to the door and said to Lin Desheng through the door: "I said I won't change, didn't you hear?"
"Is it Chaozi? I know that my wife has offended you before, but if one pound of rice is exchanged for three ounces of meat, you won't lose, right?"
"Why are you so annoying? My family only got a chicken, but it's not enough for us to eat. I gave the meat to you in exchange. What will I eat?"
Lin Desheng thought that a chicken only weighed two or three kilograms, which was indeed not enough for their whole family, and sighed: "Hey, okay."
When he was about to return home, it was completely dark.
Several families around here are reluctant to light kerosene lamps in order to save fuel.
There was no moon in the sky. Lin Desheng was walking on the dark path, covering his hungry belly with one hand and carrying rice in the other.
Suddenly, someone hit him hard from behind. Lin Desheng stumbled and fell into the ditch. "Ouch, who is it?"
He held his injured knee and when he crawled out of the ditch, he saw a dark figure picking up the cloth bag that had fallen to the ground.
"Hey! Stop!" Lin Desheng had just taken two steps. The stinging sensation in his knees made him gasp in pain. He could only shout at the dark figure running away, "Catch the thief! Someone is stealing my rice."
!”
The person from the nearest household stuck his head out and said, "Desheng, what's going on?"
"Hurry and help me catch the thief. The thief took away my rice." Lin Desheng pressed his knees and limped towards the direction where the thief escaped. "The whole bag of rice was taken away. It was my brother-in-law who helped me."
I made the rice."
Not long after, his parents and daughter-in-law heard about it.
Liu Damei said excitedly: "I just said, I should come with you, now it's okay, I haven't got the meat, and I haven't got the rice either!"
"What's going on?" Old Mrs. Lin asked, "Okay, why did you let someone steal the rice? Who robbed it?"
"I didn't see it. The man pushed me hard and pushed me into the ditch next to me. I just hit my knee and it hurt me to death."
Old man Lin clapped his hands vigorously and regretted: "Oh! If I had known better, I wouldn't have let you trade for meat. That's a full kilogram of rice. If it was cooked into thinner rice porridge, it would be enough for us to eat for several days.
Already."
"Who would have thought that the rice would be snatched away? Who did it? There are such people in our village. It is really lawless!"
After Mrs. Lin finished speaking angrily, others around her said, "I think it's better to find the captain quickly? The person who recommended Desheng must be someone who lives nearby."
"That's right, we need to find Captain Li and ask him to search from house to house starting from the nearest one. We can definitely get the rice back," Lin Desheng said.
A villager said: "I will help you find Captain Li."
While everyone was waiting for Captain Li, Liu Damei snorted softly, "Actually, I don't think there is any need to find the captain. Isn't it obvious that the Jiang family did this?"
"The Jiang family? The fourth Jiang family? How are you so sure?"
"I just brought this rice back from my parents' house this morning," Liu Damei said. "Da Ya's dad just went to the Jiang family to exchange for meat but couldn't get it. Apart from the Jiang family, who else in the village knew that he was carrying a pound of rice in his hand?
?”
Her husband pushed her and said, "It can't be Uncle Jiang. The family eats chicken. It's not like they have nothing to eat. Why are they trying to steal my rice?"
"Ganbei! Although his family has white noodles and chicken, they don't have rice to eat. I want to eat rice, but I'm not willing to give the chicken to us, so I have to grab it!"
Speaking of this, Liu Damei then expressed her speculation, "I guess after they refused to exchange the meat, they knew you were leaving by the sound, opened the door and followed you here secretly, then pushed you down hard and took the rice away."
The onlookers talked a lot, "It's not impossible."
"I see, we don't have to wait for the captain. Let's search Jiang's house now, otherwise it will be difficult for us to find the rice when they hide it!"
After Liu Damei finished speaking, she said to her father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Don't hesitate. If they dig a hole and bury the rice in the soil, how will we find it?"
Aunt Wang, who has a good relationship with Mrs. Lin, said: "I think what your daughter-in-law said makes sense. Why don't you go to Jiang's house and have a look?"
Mrs. Lin nodded, "Okay then, let's go to Jiang's house and ask first."
A group of people walked towards Jiang's house. They smelled the smell of charcoal fire and chicken from a distance of more than ten meters, and subconsciously swallowed a few times.
At this time, the Jiang family had almost eaten the entire eagle.
Wu Chaozi burped, "Hiccup!"
He held his stomach and said, "No, mother, I can't eat anymore."
Shen Su'e looked at the pile of bones at his feet, "I see you have eaten at least three kilograms of meat, and there is still an eagle's butt left. Can you eat it?"
"Why don't you give it to me for breakfast tomorrow?"
"What kind of breakfast is this?" Sihaizi stretched out his hand and said, "Mom, give me that ass to eat? I can still eat it."
Shen Su'e cut off the eagle's butt and handed it to her fourth son, "You guys are really good at eating it. I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it."
Sihaizi wiped his mouth and said: "This roasted eagle is so delicious! I used to eat boiled things, but it's rare to eat such fragrant barbecue!"
His father and several brothers also ate a lot of eagle bones.
Lingbao and Fugui had already eaten and were now chasing each other in the yard.
"Run slower," Shen Su'e said, "Don't hurt your stomach..."
"Auntie, will you eat eagle next time?"
"It's not that easy to eat an eagle. Let's eat a rabbit next time. There is also a rabbit in the yard. Fugui, do you want to go see the rabbit?"
"Okay, okay." Fugui happily followed his aunt.
When the two dolls went to see the rabbit, Erhuazi had just finished eating the meat in his hand.
After hesitating for a while, he asked his mother: "Mom, if no one eats the eagle head and neck, can I take it back and give it to my wife to try? Fugui and I are so full, and I feel a little bit sorry.
.”
"What are you going to eat?" Shen Su'e took out a bowl with eagle meat and said, "I left some pieces of breast meat and leg meat for your wife, take them back and give them to her."
Her second son took the bowl, his eyes full of emotion, "Mom, I knew you were a sharp-tongued person. Mom, you are so kind!"
"I have a sharp mouth but a sharp heart!" Shen Su'e said, "When your wife unloads the goods next month, it will be impossible for you to ask me to give her something to eat!"
While they were talking, noisy footsteps came from outside, "I guess they must be hiding rice right now. Dad, please climb over the wall and get in and have a look!"
