Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

the dirty man retorted.

"Yes, yes, you can't say that. Little Li is an honest man. He's just a little lazy, but that's not a big problem. I've never heard of anyone in his family being dishonest. The thief can't be him."

Someone spoke up to testify.

Director Zhang also spoke up, "Everyone, pay attention. You need to have evidence when you speak! We have been neighbors for many years, so you can't accuse someone based on speculation."

"That's right. You don't even mention the evidence, but just use your big mouth to slander others. Isn't that a mess?"

"Your family only lost a shirt once, but we also lost coal briquettes! And it's not just once, we lose more than ten or twenty every year. Director Zhang, since you are investigating the thief, don't forget to find the thief who stole our coal briquettes as well."

"A ladle was lost in my house..."

"Two bowls were lost at my house. Now we have to eat in two groups. The men eat first and the women eat later. Do you know how much time is wasted?"

"Luckily, the bottoms of the bowls in my house are all painted red, so we've never lost a bowl."

"Really? Then I'll paint the bowls at home. If anyone steals my bowls again and lets me identify them, don't blame me for smashing his pot!"

A thin man followed up.

"I lost three brooms in a row, and I didn't have the courage to report it to the street office. This time, please help Director Zhang find them!"

"I have thrown away all the steamed bread in my pot, and there are also several green onions drying under the window..."

A young daughter-in-law also reported the things that were lost in her home, and the topic went further and further...

Han Zhaozhao was scratching his head. What was going on? Why was he getting off topic? Fortunately, every family was poor in this era. Listen, this thief is really pathetic. He took the huge risk of being caught and beaten, but he didn't seem to have stolen anything valuable. The cost of his theft was really high.

There is no place for rural thieves to use their skills. In the countryside, at least they can steal eggplants, cucumbers, beans, etc. In the city, there is nothing to steal!

It was a mess and the neighbors didn't provide any useful clues, but they all asked the neighborhood committee to help find them, saying that they had lost something at home.

What could Director Zhang do? He could only have someone write the name of the thief in a notebook and promised everyone that they would find a way to catch the thief as soon as possible.

This meeting ended in vain!

Han Zhaozhao found the show boring. She knew that as long as something was characterized as an internal conflict, there would be no follow-up.

No one is serious about this. They are just neighbors, talking about this and that, and everyone is just playing dumb.

No one wants to offend others unless they suffer real damage and lose all their property through theft.

It is not yet those crazy years, and everyone is thinking of forgiving others when they can. Even if they have clues, they will not speak them out in front of so many people. Aren’t you afraid of retaliation?

Even the families who had lost money this time were discouraged. After reporting the losses of the theft, they huddled aside and chatted about all sorts of things waiting for news from the neighborhood committee.

Even though a bunch of people are arguing together, everyone knows in their hearts that this matter is probably doomed to fail.

Well, it's not a big deal, and the neighborhood committee cadres haven't said they won't care. Their attitude is clear, and they will investigate it. As for whether they will succeed or not, no one can guarantee it.

The owners were also disappointed, knowing that they had wasted their time again, but there was no other way. They had to be more careful and alert in the future. What else did they want? Just muddle along!!!

The "mass meeting" ended in less than an hour, and the neighbors went back to their own courtyards in groups of three or four, chatting and gossiping.

"I knew it was hopeless! Petty thieves have been thieves everywhere. Our 'Master Buddha' in the capital is very powerful!" said the third child with a smile.

Han Zhaozhao was puzzled. "Yes, I hope this thief is a lone thief. If he is a gang member, then our alley will not be safe. Brother Sanzi, your family didn't lose any money this time, right?"

"How come it's not lost? The ten or so yuan of living expenses that my mother put in the drawer are lost, and some bills are also lost.

Fortunately, the thief did not touch the food purchase certificate and the food certificate, which shows that the thief was very tactful. My father said that he would not report it to the police, because the person who did this must be an outsider and could not leave these courtyards. "

Fortunately, he had deposited his private money in a savings bank. Hehehe, no one who came to the house could steal it. At this time, Xiao Sanzi was so impressed with his own foresight.

"Why are you so happy about losing money? I really don't understand what you are thinking. We are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of thieves thinking about it. Little Sanzi, stop laughing. Are you afraid that others don't know that your family is rich? You should be more careful!" Han Zhaozhao strongly disapproved. If he allowed the habit to develop, he was afraid that a big thief would appear in the alley.

I'm not afraid of stealing things, I'm just afraid of hurting people!

By then, it will be too late for the neighbors to regret!

But there was nothing worth losing in her house. Almost all the neighbors knew that her grandmother kept her big money in a savings bank and kept her change close to her body, so there was no cash at home.

This is the inherent impression that the grandparents and grandchildren left on everyone outside after Han's father and mother died.

Until now, the two of them would go to the savings bank and deposit not only Han Zhaozhao's monthly child support but also the old lady's monthly salary into her passbook with great fanfare.

The banking system of this era is still quite strict when withdrawing money. Although there is no password, most people of this era are not very knowledgeable and do not have so many criminal methods. Very few thieves would steal passbooks and go to the savings bank to be carefully questioned by the salesperson. When facing public servants, bad people are very nervous.

"Hehe, in the past, if I lost so much money, my family would be so worried. But now, everyone in my family except me has a salary, so we don't lack money to spend!"

Xiao Sanzi was very proud. It was him who, at such a young age, already had several hundred yuan in savings. He was not short of money!

Han Zhaozhao shook his head: Well, it's useless to say anything, Xiao Sanzi didn't take it to heart at all. It seems that the money lost was too little, and he had a lot of money in his hand, and he was so arrogant that he couldn't be stopped.

At night, Han Zhaozhao entered the space.

First, transfer the sea fish in the live water tank to the pond by the river for breeding. There is no rush to move the sea fish in the freezer. Just keep them first. You can thaw them a little before giving them to someone else and take them out.

Clean up the accumulated wild boar heads and pig offal, use stainless steel buckets to stew them in several pots, and save them for later consumption!

It is more flavorful when soaked in the old soup, and you can scoop it out when you are ready to eat, which is convenient and fresh.

She also boiled the pig's blood and made it into blood tofu, which she kept for stewing with Chinese cabbage. She also made some blood sausage and waited for the old lady to come home and stew it with sauerkraut.

There was fire burning at the bottom of the pot, and the smell of braised meat in the space made people drool.

Han Zhaozhao leaned back on the sofa, holding his Chinese textbook and reciting the text.

The exam was coming up, so she had to review the textbook again. She couldn't just take advantage of her intelligence and not take the exam seriously.

Especially for Chinese and politics, I still had to memorize what I had to memorize. For the sake of my freedom in the next few years, I couldn't lose the top spot in the class.

The next day, Han Zhaozhao went out early and visited the Liu, Bai and Zheng families, giving each of them two five-jin large mackerels and a small bundle of spinach.
