In the evening, Chu Changfeng and Shen Zhi returned home.

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard the chirping of my three little ones.

"Brother! There are just not enough! It wasn't like this when I looked yesterday! There were so many! A lot of them were picked!"

"I feel like my fruit has been picked too..." Mumu scratched his head and tilted his head back to stare at the fruit trees in the yard.

Chu Jinzhou didn't pay much attention to the fruit trees, so he didn't notice anything wrong. But his two younger brothers said that a lot of their peaches and cherries had been stolen.

He frowned, not knowing what to do.

"What's wrong? What are you arguing about?" Shen Zhi asked.

When Nian Nian and Mu Mu saw them, they quickly pulled them under the fruit tree, and the two kids pointed at the fruits on the tree.

"Daddy and Mommy! Look! Has our fruit been stolen? There are much fewer than yesterday! There are no longer any short places!"

Chu Jinnian was so angry, "I feel like there are fewer high places. Yesterday there were all red, but today there are only a few!"

Mumu pouted her lips, with her hands on her waist, "Of course! It was stolen!"

Chu Changfeng and Shen Zhi looked at each other, stared at the peach tree for a long time, and both began to frown.

Whenever they want to eat peaches, they pick as many as they can eat, and they just picked them yesterday. Now there are so many less, it's easy to notice.

Yesterday evening, Chu Changfeng took Chu Jinnian to pick them, so the little guy was able to easily notice something was wrong today.

"It was really stolen." Chu Changfeng murmured in a low voice.

"Where did this thief come from? How annoying... How could he steal other people's things? If he wanted to eat, just tell us and we can give him two. Why steal..."

Chu Jinnian muttered softly, "Ah... the key is that they actually picked the peaches on the top of the tree that I specially kept for several days... wuwuwu... I'm so angry..."

Chu Jinzhou: "Dad and Mom, how can we catch the thief?"

Chu Changfeng: "It's okay, I think it was stolen last night. I'll pay attention tonight."

The fruit was stolen, so Shen Zhi didn't think it was a big deal.

After all, she also stole fruits from other people's homes when she was a child.

It should be said that many children in the village would secretly steal fruits from other people's homes in groups when they were young.

It's normal to be a little naughty.

She was just afraid that it wasn't a child who stole the fruit, but a stranger who suddenly entered her yard. It would be fine if he stole the fruit, but what if he broke into the house?

What if the thief was willing to do anything, including burning, killing and looting? She didn't dare to take such a risk.

Chu Jinnian clenched his fists and said, "We must catch the thief anyway!"

Chu Changfeng touched his little head and pursed his lips and said, "I'll go see if Shitou and Niu Niu's fruit trees have been stolen."

The fruits in their two homes were already ripe. If their own fruits were targeted, their two homes might also be visited by thieves.

"Daddy! Let's go together!"

"I am coming too!"

So the family of five went out.

The adults from both families were still busy in the barbecue restaurant. Shitou and Sanya were at Niu Niu's house. In order to look after the children, Zhang Xuemei also stayed.

They came over and asked if the fruit had been stolen, and everyone was stunned.

After realizing what was happening, he quickly ran to the yard to check.

Niu Niu stood on tiptoe and stared at the peach tree. Before he could figure out what was going on, Xiao Bao's eyes widened and he looked like he was about to cry, feeling aggrieved.

"Uncle...my Taotao...is gone...gone..."

The little guy started crying.

"Ah? Your peach?"

Only then did Niu Niu notice that the big peach that the little guy had wrapped in the mesh cloth was gone.

The little guy heard that if he did this, the peach skin would become net-like in the future, so he would run over to take a look from time to time. He was thinking of picking it in the next two days, but who knew it would be stolen!

Okay, there’s no need to check carefully this time. The little guy’s peaches are so special, everyone in the family knows it, and no one would pick them. It must have been stolen by a thief.

“Wuwuwu…my Taotao…wuwuwu…”

The little guy was completely heartbroken and cried with tears and snot.

The little ones rushed over to comfort him.

After understanding the situation, the Chu family returned home.

Chu Xiao and Lin Zheng knew about this and also frowned in worry.

At night, they locked the yard, checked the gate, and kept the windows tightly closed without opening them.

Chu Changfeng and Shen Zhi were frightened by what happened along the way, and they didn't dare to let the three little ones sleep in the same room, so the two of them went to their small room and occupied one of the lower bunks of the little ones.

The two of them seldom sleep here, but the three little ones didn't mind the heat and snuggled in one bed, looking overjoyed.

The little ones chattered for a long time, and finally Chu Changfeng urged them to close their eyes and go to sleep.

Shen Zhi lay in his arms, dazed and very sleepy.

He rubbed her back, "You sleep too."

Shen Zhi gently rubbed his chest, "Well~ Then I'll go to sleep..."

After that, his breathing became smooth.

Chu Changfeng bent down and kissed her forehead, then closed his eyes and rested.

But he didn't dare fall asleep. He was worried about something and couldn't fall asleep.

The night passed peacefully.

There was no sound for the next two days, and there was no shortage of fruits in the yard.

Everyone gradually felt relieved.

The fruits in the yard gradually ripened, and so did the fruits in the space. Shen Zhi and Chu Changfeng picked all the fruits and put them in the wooden house. The house was almost full.

Finally, she thought about picking all the fruits in the yard to dry them, make jam, and make fruit wine...

wine?!

Her eyes suddenly widened! She almost forgot!

The fruit wine has been made for almost two months and has been kept in the cabin, and everyone has forgotten about it!

She actually forgot too!

Suddenly remembering something, she hurried back to the house and went to the small room where junk was stored.

Inside, there were many large jars neatly placed together.

She hurried over, picked a jar at the edge, knocked open the sticky yellow mud, and instantly the aroma of wine wafted to her nose.

She quickly opened the lid, and the aroma of wine became stronger.

Pour out a bowl.

The white porcelain bowl makes the bright red fruit wine look particularly clear and beautiful.

Shen Zhi's eyes widened, this smell was so delicious!

She took a sip carefully. It was mellow and delicious, a little sweet but not astringent at all. It was a level that even women could accept.

Now that she was pregnant, she didn't dare drink too much. She probably tasted the wine and then took it away.

"Chu Changfeng! Chu Changfeng!"

"Chu Changfeng! Where are you? Come here quickly!"

She shouted a few times, and Chu Changfeng came running hurriedly from the backyard.

"What happened?"

He was digging potatoes, his body was covered in dirt and sweat, and he didn't dare to get close to her in this state.

Shen Zhi looked at him with a smile.

Chu Changfeng blinked and laughed: "What's wrong?"
