After searching for a while, the silver-throated tit forced its way in through the crack of the locked double wooden door.
Fortunately, tits are only the size of sparrows. As long as there is a slight crack in the door, they can squeeze in like a mouse.
Chu Xiangqian quickly took a general look at the east wing.
I directed the chickadee to fly around the house several times, and found that I couldn't see any problem.
It's unrealistic to let Chickadee rummage through boxes and cabinets, and it's easy to leave traces.
You can only check on the fire pit, under the cabinet, in the corner, in the beam and other places.
In the end, the titmouse got into the fire pit and looked around, and then let it fly back home in disappointment.
Disappointed, I finally fell asleep.
But I didn’t expect that I was still dreaming about treasures in my dream.
As he fell asleep, Chu Qianqian suddenly opened his eyes.
It's normal to have a fire pit in the north, but what's unusual is that the Liu family's fire pit looks like it's never been burned.
Looking carefully at the inside of the fire pit, there is indeed no smoke or dust.
Chu Xiangqian then remembered that Aunt Wang had said before that the Liu family quietly spent money to buy the ownership of the east wing seven years ago, during the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
No one in the yard knows about this.
This is a problem.
Assuming that the Liu family indeed discovered the secret room, and there were good things in the secret room, they used a fire pit to cover the entrance to the secret room.
But then I thought about moving the treasure, it would be better to keep the things in the secret room. After all, the east wing belongs to the Liu family.
Moreover, the couple works well and is not short of money. Their monthly rations are more than those of ordinary workers.
So shouldn't they be more likely to stay in the capital?
But now that I suddenly have to leave, I don’t have to think about it. I must have encountered something that forced me to leave, and those treasures have most likely been taken out of the courtyard.
Chu Xiangqian was disappointed, but if he changed his perspective, if they took the treasure out of the courtyard, he would not have no chance to keep an eye on the money.
Anyway, the Liu family and his wife haven't left yet, so they let the tits stare at the man named Liu, not believing that he won't reveal any flaws.
Moreover, when I go to visit my relatives this time, I am likely to find a suitable candidate and let him live in the east wing.
This person is most likely not wealthy, and may even have a large family and a heavy burden.
This kind of person will not only not be able to decorate the house, but also will not be able to dismantle the fire pit for many years to come.
When Chu Xiangqian thought of this, he wanted to go into the east wing at night and take a look. Fortunately, he rationally told him that even if he found the secret room, the contents inside would most likely be gone.
You only need to keep an eye on Master Liu to find where the things are hidden.
Once he finds it, Chu Xiangqian will definitely keep it for himself.
Anyway, they are all ownerless things, and they belong to whoever gets them.
As for donating it to the higher authorities, Chu Xiangqian had never thought about it.
Firstly, it’s hard to explain, and secondly, some people may wonder if they have hidden part of the treasure secretly?
At that time, it’s so reasonable that I can’t even explain it.
Seeing the sky slowly getting brighter, I heard the sound of the third uncle opening the door of the courtyard.
Chu Xiangqian took out his long-dried military coat from the game, put on his clothes, got up, cooked some rice porridge, ate roast chicken and a steamed bun, and finished his breakfast.
Hong Niu took Da Zhuang, who had already eaten a wild boar into the water in Novice Village, out of the house.
I saw the first uncle Yi Zhonghai walking out of the second entrance with his apprentice Jia Dongxu who also lived in the middle courtyard, and He Yuzhu who worked as a cook in the back kitchen of the steel rolling mill.
As soon as they saw Chu Qianqian, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu greeted him warmly, but Silly Zhu had a dark face and remained silent.
Chu Xiangqian thought for a moment and guessed that he must have invited Xu Damao to dinner last night. Silly Zhu, Xu Damao's nemesis, felt unhappy.
He smiled and said, "Master, Comrade Jia, Master He, are you ready to go to work?"
Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded.
But I'm actually quite annoyed in my heart, after all, he is the master of this courtyard.
Last night, Chu Xiangqian invited the second uncle Liu Haizhong to his home for dinner. The reason was that he had guests at home and it was not easy to go to Liu Haizhong's house for dinner, so he simply invited Liu Haizhong to his home for a drink, which solved the misunderstanding the day before yesterday. p>
But this is the truth, but Yi Zhonghai felt in his heart that Chu Xiangqian didn't ask him and the third uncle Yan Fugui to go over with the guests, because he didn't respect their elders.
If Chu Xiangqian knew what Yi Zhonghai was thinking, Jedi would spit on his face.
Fuck your elders.
Do you really think that as he gets older, everyone will treat him as a dish?
If you want to be someone's elder, unless you have helped them a lot, if they call you "Master" and take the initiative to say hello when they meet, that is because they are being polite.
But if you feel that you can dictate to others because of this, then go as far as you can.
Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded, which was considered a response. Then he noticed Da Zhuang and Hong Niu, who were being led by Chu Qianqian on a dog leash.
He frowned and said, "These two dogs are really strong. Xiao Chu, there are many children in the yard, you must keep an eye on them."
Chu Qianqian smiled and nodded, but his heart became gloomy.
Saying "You're so strong" is not a good thing to say in this period when you don't have enough to eat. It is causing trouble for yourself.
Sure enough, Jia Dongxu remembered that his son Jia Geng and his second daughter Xiaodang were still young.
He hurriedly said, "Comrade Chu, there are indeed too many children in the yard. It is better to keep them in the house from now on. Brother Jia and I are not deliberately looking for trouble. It is really us fathers who are worried about an accident."
These words were polite enough. Chu Xiangqian was not an ignorant person, so he could only nod.
At the same time, I also feel that Jia Dongxu looks pretty good.
Silly Zhu on the side answered, "Why are you talking so much! According to me, dogs should not be kept in this yard. What's the use of regretting after hurting the child?"
When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he knew that this boy was angry with him because of Xu Damao.
I secretly thought to myself, teach you to be a good boy.
He patted Da Zhuang and Hong Niu on the head, smiled and said to Silly Zhu, "Silly Zhu, how about we make a bet?"
Silly Zhu and the people around him were stunned. No one cared that Chu Qianqian directly called He Yuzhu Silly Zhu.
Silly Zhu is also a pushy person.
Seeing everyone looking over, he asked in confusion, "What bet?"
Chu Qianqian looked into the yard, and when he heard the commotion, everyone stopped. The neighbors who gathered around said, "Everyone is worried that their children will be scared by dogs, and it is normal for them to be bitten.
If I had children, I would be like you, so I made a bet with Silly Zhu.
Just bet on whether my two dogs can understand some simple commands to prove that they are well trained. And any dog that has been trained will definitely not take the initiative to bite unless under extreme circumstances.
Of course, the premise is that you cannot make some unreasonable orders."
After hearing this, the third uncle came over and said, "Xiao Chu is right, you can't let two dogs talk or buy things."
When the neighbors heard this, they couldn't help but nod.
Silly Zhu chuckled, "What are you betting on?"
Chu Xiangqian didn't hesitate, he would definitely not be able to gamble directly, "How about two big front doors?"
A pack of large front doors costs 3 cents and 1 cent, and two strips are 6 yuan.
Although the money is one-fifth or one-fourth of a normal person’s salary, it’s not too much.
