Chapter 303: A restless night
Liu Haizhong has been watching the excitement. He doesn't care about it. He is just waiting for Silly Zhu's incident to become a big deal. After listening to the first master's arrangement, he doesn't have much idea.
"You are right, just do it this way. If you don't guarantee everything, someone's daughter-in-law is obsessed with it and wants to take advantage of it. Let's give her a chance to repent."
"Let's do it. Lao Niu, you take people to the outer courtyard, the third uncle goes to the front yard, the first uncle is in charge of the middle courtyard, and I go to the back yard to make announcements from door to door."
The first uncle and the third uncle looked at it in surprise. The second uncle was in good order. The arrangement actually made arrangements for the two uncles. These two uncles are a little different today.
"Okay, I think the second uncle's arrangement is very good, so let's do it."
Several workers in the third workshop saw that the three uncles had set the tone, and they were not convinced. The solution was to go straight to the outer courtyard and inform people door to door.
The third uncle was the most trouble-free. He could see clearly from the beginning to the end. He knew that only Jia Zhang made a move, but he still had to pretend. He saw the third uncle standing in the middle of the front yard.
“Tonight, whoever took something from Lao Zhu’s house and sent it back overnight, let’s forget about it. If he didn’t send it back, his nature has changed. It’s just for one night. If he is discovered again tomorrow, even if Stealing!"
After that, he glanced at Jia's house, with a smile on his face, and went home with his hands behind his back.
"Master, do you think Jia Zhang will be sent back?" As soon as he entered the door, his wife and three children came to greet him.
The third uncle turned around and closed the door, and said with a smile, "With her Pixiu temperament, I guess she won't move back even if the knife is placed on her neck. Also, the brother and sister opposite don't have to think about it to know that it is Unjustly accused, let’s wait and see the good show.”
“The police said that they were reported, and it is clear that someone is tampering with Old Zhu’s family. This time, we have to stand on the right team. I’m sure, Zhu. It’s going to be a bustle when the eldest son of the family comes back.”
“You said, in such a sad life, if you don’t think about how to arrange the family well, why are there always people looking for trouble every now and then? It’s pointless for us, the three uncles, to stop doing this. We’ll still be implicated every day.”
If it hadn’t been for several scandals in the compound last year, these three uncles and their family would never have been able to live in a good family. There were very few rewards, but luckily I got a certificate, which was an honor. This was something everyone valued. In the end, I didn’t get anything, but a few other households took advantage. (In the 1950s, there was the Five Good Families Award, organized by the Women's Federation)
There were only a few middle schools, and there was no one in Si Zhu's family. The first man felt like a mirror, so he went straight to Jia's house, bang. Knocking on the door.
"Who is it? It's so late at night, and you can't let anyone sleep." When I heard it was Jia Zhang, she didn't even lie down. The first uncle was already sure that she was there.
"It's me, Master. I have something to do. Please open the door and I'll leave after I finish speaking."
"Master, you can talk outside. This orphan and widower... It’s not appropriate to open the door in the middle of the night, please tell me, we’ll listen.”
Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huairu in the dark, but Qin Huairu didn’t object. There were so many ingredients and grains in the hall. How can I explain this if I let the uncle see it clearly? I had no choice but to follow Jia Zhang's tossing, but he didn't do anything anyway.
The first man sighed, and was even more sure that Mrs. Jia Zhang must have taken it. This worried old woman thought about it again, maybe it would be a good thing. If she was sent away, there would be less trouble in the compound, so she would not bother to do it again. Pay attention.
"Old Zhu's house has been evacuated today. If you are also involved, remember to send the things back overnight..."
The first uncle left with his hands behind his back. Jia Zhang was originally a little bit I didn't care. I didn't expect the response from the compound was unexpected. No one followed suit. Just now, there were people in the front yard shouting about searching from house to house all night long. They were a little distracted.
"Mom, just tell me that you have nothing to do. It's only been a few days since Ansheng's birthday. This matter has nothing to do with us mothers. You can figure it out on your own."
Qin Huairu ignored Mrs. Jia Zhang and went directly to the kang with Sophora japonica in her arms. "Banggen, take your sister to sleep there and cover her with the quilt. I know you two are not asleep..."
In the house, only Mrs. Jia Zhang was left sitting in front of a pile of ingredients and grains, thinking about something, her triangular eyes kept wandering around. There are so many good things. It's already May. Damn it, Zhu Xuefeng, there is still something in the cellar. With so much ice hidden, these things are still fresh.
I have no brains. I brought all my brains back. I can’t hide them. They all have to be broken. It’s such a pity. It’s absolutely impossible to send them back. How can I let the meat in my mouth escape? .
But there are so many seafoods, countless times more than what my daughter-in-law gave out, and they are all ridiculously big. It is obvious that they are not all the same, and they can’t be kept. When the air conditioner dissipates during the day tomorrow, it will be broken.
…
Uncle Niu came back from the outer courtyard with a few workers. Looking at the open door, the two workers went over to help close the door.
"Wait." Uncle Niu thought of something.
"Don't move yet, keep it as it is. Remember last year, Xiao Zhu said no, the scene of the crime must be maintained..."
Everyone suddenly realized. "Brother Niu is right, keep it for now and look at it later. Let's go. This time Xiao Zhu is too embarrassed to see anyone when he comes back. If I know who did it, I will beat him up, that son of a bitch." . ”
“That’s right, Xiao Zhu killed a pig last year and got a full yard score. I think these people are white-eyed wolves and don’t know what is good or bad...”
As he spoke. Entering the middle courtyard, someone pointed at the dark house of the Jia family and whispered.
“Tell me, is it possible that this family did it? Only their family and Xu Damao didn’t share the meat at that time. Besides, I think the Jia Zhang family can definitely do this.”
"Don't say it yet, Xiao Liu, what you said really makes sense. The more I think about it, the more true it becomes. Otherwise, now that the lights are on in every house, only their house is dark. This is not a guilty conscience. "
As he walked into the backyard, Uncle Niu said.
"Ignore her, wait for Xiao Zhu to come back and take care of them. Let's work harder tonight. Xiao Liu, you will go first later..."
A few people chatted and walked away. , the yard was empty, and although the sound was not loud, the Jia family still vaguely heard a few words in the first half.
"Mom, these things seem to be a disaster now. You should find a way to deal with them. Otherwise, if someone discovers them tomorrow, you will not be able to survive the rest of the day."
Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu who was lying down, filled with anger. I didn't move here just so that everyone could have something good to eat. You didn't move, and you didn't stop me either. You wanted to take advantage, but you didn't take responsibility. , isn’t this just a matter of mounting paper and erecting an archway?
…
Uncle Zou and his wife came back from the sub-district office. The sub-district office only had people on duty at night, and they couldn’t take off their duties to find Director Wang, so they had to call Director Wang’s house to persuade them to come back. Two old people.
When the two returned home, they were also shocked. Who was so bold that he dared to break the public security seal? The food in the house was also emptied. The three rooms seemed to have been cleaned again, leaving a mess everywhere.
A figure came over from afar and took the initiative to speak.
"Uncle Zou, tell me what happened this afternoon, otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to Xiao Zhu." Uncle Zou said it clearly.
"So, it's probably someone in the yard who did it, his grandma. Why is there so much going on in this shabby yard? It's so shameful."
Uncle Niu was full of anger. He didn't pay attention last year. As soon as Lao Zhu left, Xiao Zhu was sent to the hospital. He was interested in other people's houses. Now, the benefits of the full steel rolling mill are great, all because of Xiao Zhu.
This time, while Xiao Zhu was not at home, he took away his younger brothers and sisters directly. There was no way to explain it. People like him were always there when they took advantage of it. When something happened, no one was around.
“I can’t blame you for this. You are all working overtime. My wife and I can’t help at home. What’s so hateful is that I didn’t expect someone to be so bold as to even tear the police seal and steal the food. Let’s go.”
Uncle Zou had a clear idea. After chatting with Uncle Niu for a while, Uncle Niu went back, and Uncle Zou was not ready to sleep.
"Honey, you go to bed, I want to see who is so shameless and see who will send it back."
"You stay here, who will send it back, silly Not stupid.”
“I just want to prevent him from sending it back. If he dares to come and steal it while we are away, I have to let him hide the food at home, and then he will catch the turtle in the jar... "
Aunt Zou sighed, "This offends people to death. Is it necessary? It would be great if you can send it back to me."
"You old woman knows this. What, Xiao Zhu is soft-hearted, if he really wants to send it back, he will probably just swallow it, then there will be a next time, this time, I have to help him make up his mind.”
…
< br>Director Wang received a call late at night. He was also anxious, but he had no good solution. Lao Kong was on a business trip again. Fortunately, he knew the director. The two of them had performed many tasks together and were relatively familiar with each other.
He hurried out and rode to the police station in one breath. The director was not on duty, but the deputy director was there. The two of them were considered acquaintances. Although they were not friends, there was still no problem in saying hello.
"Director Wang, you are here so late at night because you took away a few people from the district today."
"Isn't that right? Your police station took people away this time. , Why don’t you say hello as usual? The cooperation between our two units has always been good.”
According to custom, the street office usually goes out with the police station to arrest people, but this time it was bypassed. When I went to the sub-district office, Director Wang was not angry and said with a smile.
Director Chen choked and felt a little unhappy, but he did not dare to get angry. This matter was arranged by him on duty, so he had to explain.
“The report came when I got off work, because the report involved DT, so I didn’t dare to wait until tomorrow, so I acted hastily. I originally wanted to report it to the subdistrict office tomorrow, but I didn’t expect that you would come here so late at night. "
It makes sense. Director Wang is now concerned about the situation of the two children, and does not bother with this matter. He just goes straight to the point and asks about their situation.
"These people you mentioned were indeed brought back this evening and are now being held here. The interrogation of He Yuzhu has not started yet, but the two DTs are currently being interrogated because of their serious nature. "
Director Wang was not happy when he heard DT. He had seen these two children. They were very immature. DT, are you kidding? Their eldest brother is still his own godson. Of course, we can't say this now. .
"Director Chen, have you ever seen DT who were twelve or thirteen years old? They are playing the piano randomly. How old were they when they were peacefully liberated in 1949? One year old! They started lurking at the age of one. Are you being manipulated? People have been deceived, take me to see.”
Director Chen quickly stopped him and finally got a chance to make a contribution. Although he hated reporting, he could accept it as long as he was not reported.
"Director Wang, this is inappropriate. According to regulations, you cannot participate in this kind of interrogation. Please understand, we also have discipline."
I didn't expect that Lao Kong would be gone. He couldn't help himself, and Director Wang was also very distressed.
"Director Chen, I will not question you when you interrogate me, but you have to promise me one thing, that is, you will not use torture under any circumstances. These two are children, flowers of the motherland, and they have an elder brother. , that is an important talent in the country."
Director Chen was not embarrassed when he saw that Director Wang was no longer insisting. He was at the senior level, so he quickly asked someone to make tea,
" We also know this and have left a message asking his elder brother to surrender as soon as he returns home. Don’t worry, we won’t use torture. We don’t know if there is any misunderstanding here.”
“But, since someone reported it. , we found evidence at the scene, so we have to follow the procedures. I hope you can understand, Director Wang."
"Evidence, what evidence? How many times have I been to their house, why haven't I seen it. What evidence can you tell me?”
“I’m really sorry, Director Wang, I can’t reveal this to you. You are also an old revolutionary. You should know this better than me.”
Director Chen encountered a soft nail. Director Wang had no choice but to nod, but there was no better way.
"Let's do this. I will wait here for those who interrogate you. When the interrogation is clear, I will send them back. You will have to send someone to send them back when the time comes. You have to make it clear to everyone and restore their reputation. "
Director Chen had nothing to do with Director Wang. Everything they mentioned was reasonable, so he arranged for someone to prepare a place for Director Wang to rest.
“By the way, you didn’t damage their house, did you? There is also the design drawing of their eldest brother’s room. There can’t be any mistakes in this. If it is lost or damaged, the police station cannot bear this burden. Yes, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
Director Chen was stunned. It seemed that the situation reported by the team leader was true. Even the sub-district office knew about it and hurriedly explained with a smile.
"Don't worry, Director Wang. Our comrades were aware of it at the time. There was no damage and they were not taken away. Now the house is sealed, so there should be no problem."
Director Wang. I was relieved. The two children must have been wrongly accused. There is no evidence. It is impossible. When the time comes, they will be sent back and someone will find out who is causing the trouble. This godson has traveled thousands of miles to earn foreign exchange for the country, and he is still being yelled at at home. Oops, as a godmother, I really haven't fulfilled my responsibilities.
When the time comes, let’s just make it clear and see who dares to make a fuss about this matter in our own street and, by the way, what about He Yuzhu?
…
“Tell me honestly, where did your little radio come from!”
“I’ve said it several times, this is a reward for my brother. , it’s a reward, isn’t it still engraved with words?”
