Chapter 3134 Tou'er (1st update)
Yang Ruoqing came over and said: "There is a way to only commit a thief for a thousand days but not to guard against a thief for a thousand days. This hole will be blocked now. In a few days Holes are going to be drilled elsewhere.”
“The entire wall will be riddled with holes. We will be busy patching holes every day without doing anything. How tiring it will be. "Ah!"
Da Mo said: "That needs to be repaired, these idiots. I saw that the door lock of the courtyard door and the door frame also had signs of prying. They really tried to fix it by any means. "
Yang Ruoqing turned her eyes and said: "Instead of working so hard every day on defense, we might as well kill the chicken and scare the monkey."
"First catch a thief and beat him up, inform the ten li eight villages, and shock him."
"Let his accomplices and other thieves see clearly that this is the one who dares to take advantage of our Haitang Academy. End!"
Da Mo said: "This is a good idea, but what should we do? We need to find a way to catch them."
Yang Huazhong said: "Dig a hole like we did last time when we caught Butcher Chen and the others?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "It's a bit laborious. It will take us several days to dig a hole that can be used as a trap.”
"Last time, more than a dozen people dug together. There is strength in numbers. This time we are trying to make as little noise as possible, so digging holes is not possible," she said.
"What do you think Qinger should do?" Yang Huazhong asked.
Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said, "I remember that Tang Yazi used to go hunting in the mountains and used a large iron clamp that could catch a roe deer when he stepped in."
< br>"I We'll go back and find it now, and take it to the school when it gets dark. We'll be like catching mice to see who dares to steal the rice from the school after eating the bear's heart."
...< br>
He did as he was told, and when night fell, everyone in the village took an early shower and climbed into bed to sleep.
The summer nights are sultry. In the past, everyone would come out with cattail fans to cool off after dinner and chat about the mountains.
I can’t see that scene anymore.
Why?
Hungry!
I am so hungry that I have no energy and no mood.
I just want to drink some porridge and lie in bed without moving. If I move too much, I will get hungry easily.
So Yang Ruoqing and Blacksmith Luo took the iron clamps together and quietly went up to Mianniu Mountain behind the village under the cover of night.
Bury the iron clip near the hole in the backyard, and then wait for the thief to come.
Let’s see who made him lose his reputation in the village.
"Qing'er, you and your uncle should go back to the village. I'll guard you at night," Damo said.
The next morning, when Yang Ruoqing came to the school to deliver food, she couldn't wait to ask Damo: "How was it? Did you gain anything last night?"
Damo shook his head, "I didn't come last night. "
Yang Ruoqing said: "Then wait, we have plenty of patience."
Da Mo grinned, "That's right, let's fight to the end."
Seeing Omo holding a big broom in his hand, he was obviously about to start cleaning the school yard.
At this time, the students have not yet come to the school to study.
"Brother Damo, go ahead and get busy. I'll go find Xiaoqin in the backyard." Yang Ruoqing said.
Da Mo nodded, turned around and started sweeping the floor.
In the backyard, when Yang Ruoqing came over, Xiaoqin had already gotten up. She was coming out of the room where the students took a nap at noon. She put two mattress pads on her shoulders and walked toward the two rows of neatly trimmed four-season green trees in the yard. Climb up the tree.
Then he patted the quilt with a feather duster and spread it out to bask in the sun.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing coming over, Xiao Qin’s eyebrows were filled with smiles.
"Why did Qing'er come here so early?" she asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Aren't you worried about whether the thieves over there have been caught? I'm so excited that I can't sleep."
Xiao Qin smiled. At this time, Yuzhi also came out of the house and smiled when he heard this.
"It doesn't matter if I didn't catch him, maybe the thief won't come back in the future." Here, Xiaoqin said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "It would be better if that thieves knew what was going on and never came back. If he comes again, I guarantee he will regret it."
Xiao Qin said: "Also. Don't tell me, you can't blame Tou'er for thinking about going to our school. Who asked us to study? There is food in the hall!”
“Now, villages all over the country are saying that if you want your children not to starve to death, you shouldn’t have felt sorry for Shu Xiu, who made tens of cents, and sent your children to school. Come on, at least the children who are studying can have enough to eat and drink.”
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled.
Yuzhi also said: "Don't mention it. Yesterday, several aunts in our village asked me to ask Qing'er about you."
"It's silly to ask me. ?" Yang Ruoqing asked in surprise.
Yuzhi said: "They asked if they can send their children to study now? Shu Xiu can't get the money right now, and they will make up for it all next year."
Don't wait for Yang Ruoqing to come out. Xiaoqin laughed.
"These people are really good at settling accounts." Xiaoqin said, "I just want to send my children to school for meals. This is what people told me almost every day a while ago!"
Yang Ruoqing Raising his eyebrows, "It's been there a long time ago? Then why didn't you tell me this?"
Xiaoqin said: "What's there to say? Those people just want to take advantage of it. Yi, I didn’t pay any attention to them. I just said that I don’t run the school and asked them to tell you directly, Qing’er.”
Yang Ruoqing said: “No one came to say anything.”
< br>Xiaoqin said: "I guess you know you have no shame to speak up. What's the difference between sending your child directly to someone else's house and letting others raise it for you?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "We are running a school, not a shelter."
"Besides, during such a period of great famine, when other places don't have enough food to eat, I have to subsidize the students in our school. We have enough to eat.”
“I have raised so many, and my ability is limited. You can’t give me everything, I can’t afford it!” she said.
"Even if you can afford it, there is no way to raise it like this!" Xiaoqin said again.
Turn to look at Yuzhi: "Yuzhi, don't be soft-hearted. If someone tells you that again, just say that we can't make the decision and let them come directly to Qing'er to talk."
Yuzhi nodded, "That's what I said."
"That's good!" Xiaoqin said.
After a while, the two aunts Dayun and Guihua came to cook breakfast.
It just so happened that Yang Ruoqing also came to the school today, so she stopped by the kitchen to help them, and also had breakfast in the school before returning to the village.
"Aunt Osmanthus Osmanthus, what are you going to make for breakfast today?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Osmanthus said: "As usual, make a pot of multigrain porridge, and then steam sorghum buns and corn buns. One student will have one bowl of porridge and two steamed buns."
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Yeah, okay."
Dayun was pouring something in the rice vat over there, mumbling something in his mouth.
"Dayun, what are you talking about to that person?" Osmanthus asked Dayun.
Yang Ruoqing was also curious and looked towards Dayun.
Dayun turned around, looking a little strange.
“I have eaten this rice faster than before in the past few days. I used to cook rice at noon every day and weigh the rice per person and put it into the pot. There is enough for everyone.”
"There doesn't seem to be enough food during these days. The rice is being beaten day by day, and the rice vat is half gone. It shouldn't be..."
Hearing Dayun's words, Yang Ruoqing and Osmanthus fragrans They all came to the rice vat and looked at it.
