The third day of the lunar month in winter is destined not to be peaceful for the people of Wanghe Village.
The Li family went out to look for someone. Li Zheng brought Gao's mother and son back after reporting the case and started knocking pots.
Cheng Xue, who was reading a medical book, sat up when he heard the sound. Li Hengzhuo pulled out his shoes and went out. Li Huaisheng, the patient at the hospital, was very cautious. Knowing that his mother might have to go out, he climbed directly to her side and held on to his clothes tightly.
She was used to going to the yard every day. Today, she thought it was not peaceful, so she didn't take the child out. Unexpectedly, the little one couldn't be contained.
Li Heng will be back soon——
"Mom, Grandpa Li Zheng asked everyone to gather at the willow tree at the end of the village. He said there was something important to talk about."
As she talked, she looked at Cheng Xue, her intention was very obvious. Li Hui told her to hang up the courtyard door when she left, and she also planned not to leave the house today. Who would have thought that plans could change so quickly.
Seeing that Li Tian had already started to look for clothes, Cheng Xue closed the medical book and warned:
"You can go out, but you can't run around, especially if you are a tough guy, you have to listen to your brother."
Li Heng nodded heavily and put on leather cotton boots excitedly. Li Tian had already put on thick cotton trousers and was about to put on thick cotton clothes. Li Huai crawled to the eldest sister and kept shouting "Ah...ah..."
.
Cheng Xue was still worried and told Yan Yixin to keep an eye on Li Heng. This kid was really a headache, especially since he had recently learned a little grappling from Li Hui, and he was really afraid that he would deal with Li Wanshan later.
It's okay if things happen for a reason, but it's really unjustifiable just to "find fault".
After changing her clothes for going out, Cheng Xue locked all the house and courtyard doors, and then she could safely take the children away.
Many people have already come under the willow tree at the end of the village, and they are all whispering about "Li Xiang's disappearance." In fact, everyone is clear-minded. After being missing for three days, it must be more serious than bad.
"Tiedan Niang, here——"
When Cheng Xue heard the sound, she looked over and saw that it was Guo Yang, Dong Xu, and Li Fang. They carried Li Huai over to join in the fun. As for Li Heng and Li Tian, there were two older ones watching, so don't worry.
"Hey, little Sidan, let me hug you quickly." Yang said as she hugged the child, "It's heavy. It's heavier than the last time I went to your house."
Cheng Xue smiled and nodded, "I took him to Wei's house that day to weigh him. He weighs almost fifteen pounds."
Xu Geng said "Hey" when he heard this and asked:
"Did you weigh the child after he recovered from the illness?"
There is only a courtyard wall between the two families, so as long as you pay attention, you can know everything.
Cheng Xue nodded, "Yes, just a few days ago. I thought he was sick and would lose weight, but unexpectedly it went up."
Li Huai fell ill for the first time in her life. She was violent and had constant high fever. Fortunately, she was undergoing silver needle therapy at the time, and she remembered the acupuncture points well in the early stage.
With physical cooling and acupoint massage, the fever subsided in half a night.
"My sister-in-law is amazing. My child is sick and has grown too big. How can I feed him?" Fang has never had children since she got married, but that doesn't stop her from asking about childcare knowledge.
Geng made a "squeak" sound and raised his voice——
"Your sister-in-law is so 'powerful'. She treated Sidan's illness and the fever subsided in half a night."
She shouted, and many village women turned their heads to look this way.
If she hadn't known that she lived in ancient times, Cheng Xue would have suspected that Mr. Geng had installed surveillance in her home.
Good guy, you know when the fever is gone, that’s awesome.
But it was a blessing in disguise. Just reading medical books and talking on paper is useless, you have to practice. If someone asks her to treat, she will also have the opportunity to practice.
Yang said "ouch" and said with admiration:
"This girl is amazing, how can she cure diseases?"
"No, it's not like I know how to cure it. I just read and draw pictures from gourds and gourds."
"That's amazing. My father-in-law only treated people after reading your medical books. After all, he had to be literate."
As he was talking, the chatter gradually decreased, and then Jiang Jianye was seen standing on the stone table, scanning everyone.
The children who were playing around all looked for their parents and stood still.
"I have two things to talk about today. The first is that Li Xiang is missing and has not been found yet, but we must not give up. We want to see people when we are alive, and we want to see the body when we die. The two brothers Qingchun and Qingdong have said that they will not let everyone's work be in vain.
, I went to his house for dinner in the evening.
The second thing is something I just heard from the town. This is very important and I have remembered it. Nowadays, the number of strong laborers in each village has decreased, and some errands and blind people have begun to rob and steal things. Everyone closes the courtyard door when they sleep at night.
The door is hung up to avoid anything happening..."
Even though Jiang Jianye has a quick-fix temper, after talking about two things, it’s almost a cup of tea.
There have been theories about robbery for a long time, but they were all hearsay and there was no "authoritative certification". Now that it has been confirmed, everyone can't take any chances.
Dong Lisong walked out of the crowd and suggested loudly:
"Li Zheng, in this case, does our village need to organize people to patrol at night?"
"What Dad Dong Cheng said makes sense. Li Zheng, please take a look and make some arrangements." Xu Daguo immediately agreed.
Jiang Jianye found it hard to do what he did and shook his head.
"That's what I think, but all the men in the village are busy."
"Being busy is no excuse. If those gangsters come to rob our village, they won't be able to find the gate even if they cry."
"Yes, yes, what Dad Dong Cheng said is that we cannot delay this matter, we must hurry up."
Obviously, the three of them were angry beforehand.
It was only at this moment that Cheng Xue realized that Xu Daguo was in the village and had such a high position.
It's a pity that only the three of them agreed on the "patrol issue", and most people still disagreed.
"Why are we patrolling? The children go to work on the forest farm during the day and stay up late at night. The body cannot bear it."
"That's right! There isn't much in the house, and there aren't many men left, so there's nothing to patrol."
"I've heard of people who commit thieves every day, but I've never heard of people who let thieves go every day."
"Yes, yes..."
"..."
Seeing that everyone's opinions were overwhelmingly opposed, Jiang Jianye frowned anxiously, while Dong Lisong and Xu Daguo shook their heads.
"Li Zheng, there is no problem with patrolling, but it depends on the actual situation. We only have a little money, the real rich are not us, and blind people can't steal from our house, so why should we all patrol together?" p>
If Mr. Qin has something to say, he'll have to report Li Hui's ID number.
The impatient Mrs. Xu wanted to speak out to refute, but Cheng Xue held her down. As long as you don't name names, there is no need to say anything, and you will lose your standing!
Geng didn't say anything this time, probably because he was criticized by Qin last time.
Jiang Jianye looked at Mrs. Qin for a long time, sighed and asked:
"Then what do you mean? Who is the rich man? Please tell me in detail."
Mrs. Qin chuckled "Haha..." and looked pointedly towards Cheng Xue——
"It's very simple. Whoever has a rich family in our village pays for it. Why should all the men in the village work for their family? Is this fair?"
"Yes, it's unfair. Li Hui's family has a lot of land and a strong family background. Why should our man patrol his house!" Li Qingchuan's daughter-in-law, Liao Shi, was the first to single out.
If you name people like this, you don’t have to endure it.
Cheng Xue handed the child in her arms to Yang, walked to Jiang Jianye in a few steps, and faced everyone...
