Reborn in 1985 I want to leave the house with nothing

At the park entrance, Li Qiumei and her mother met her aunt playing with her grandson Qian Song.

Qian Lei refused to go back and insisted on playing in the park with Qian Song.

Li Qiumei had no choice but to go back alone.

She wondered if she could find a place where she could sell the meat and noodles in the basket at a lower price.

Otherwise, the family had not been divided yet, and if the food was handed over to the public for everyone to eat, the mother-in-law would not be willing to subsidize her a penny.

She decided to go to the vegetable market and took a shortcut.

On a back street, Li Qiumei saw a boy lying on the ground.

She was startled and took a few steps back only to find that the boy was suffering from an epileptic seizure and his limbs were twitching.

She quickly went forward, picked up the boy and laid him on his side. She cleaned the vomit from his mouth, rolled up a handkerchief and stuffed it into his mouth, waiting for him to wake up.

The boy looked to be about seven or eight years old, dark and thin, with his big toe sticking out from his Liberation shoes. It seemed that he was from a poor family.

After a while, the boy woke up and his body was no longer stiff.

Li Qiumei helped him sit up and said, "Kid, where are your parents?"

"Third brother is not at home. I can't find him."

Li Qiumei heard his stomach growling: "Are you hungry?"

The boy nodded weakly.

Li Qiumei carried him to a big rock and sat him down, then took out the bag of egg cake from the backpack and gave it to him to eat.

"You eat first. I'll go to the store in front and get you a bowl of water."

The boy mumbled through his stuffed mouth, "Okay."

As soon as Li Qiumei reached the door of the store, she heard: "Catch the thief!"

When she looked back, she saw a boy running away carrying her backpack.

Li Qiumei shouted loudly "Catch the thief!" and ran after him.

We chased him into an alley, but the thief disappeared.

Li Qiumei put her hands on her hips and said, "Boy, I saw you, come out quickly! Otherwise I will call the police to arrest you!"

It was quiet in the dim alley, but Li Qiumei could feel several pairs of eyes staring at her.

She didn't dare to move forward rashly. If she called the police now, the person would probably take the opportunity to escape.

But she felt a little reluctant if she didn't take the backpack back.

"Brother, this is it."

Li Qiumei turned around and saw the boy who had fallen ill standing at the entrance of the alley with a man in military uniform.

The tall figure of the man walked over and said, "The whole country is cracking down on thefts. If you turn yourself in, you can get a lighter sentence.

I'll count to dozens. If you don't come out, you'll go to jail."

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six..."

A thin figure jumped out of a window carrying Li Qiumei's backpack.

The man grabbed the backpack and handed it to Li Qiumei, then handcuffed the thief's hands behind his back.

When she got to the street, Li Qiumei could see clearly that the thief was indeed a young boy.

"Auntie, this is my eldest brother."

The boy who fell ill introduced himself to Li Qiumei proudly.

"Hello! I'm Cheng Zhiqian, thank you for saving my brother.

"Can you check if anything is missing?" The man nodded to Li Qiumei.

Li Qiumei rummaged around and said, "They're all here."

"Okay, then you come with us to the Public Security Bureau to help deal with this matter." Cheng Zhiqian pushed the boy who stole things away while speaking.

Li Qiumei stretched out her hand to stop Cheng Zhiqian: "Wait a moment."

She looked at the boy who stole something and asked, "How old are you? Why did you steal something?"

The boy sucked back the snot that was about to hang to his mouth.

"I was fifteen years old. My grandmother was sick and there was nothing to eat at home. I saw a piece of meat in the basket and... I just..."

Li Qiumei looked at the boy's clothes and pants full of patches and the only shoe on his foot, and she didn't have the heart to pursue him any further.

"Forget it, let him go and go find your shoes and put them on."

Cheng Zhiqian refused outright: "No, he is a criminal, you have no right to let him go."

The two people started arguing.

Li Qiumei wanted to release the boy, but Cheng Zhiqian insisted on handling the matter impartially.

One of them grabbed one of the boy's hands.

Li Qiumei looked at the tall and handsome man and shook her head with an indifferent look.

This man is not only rigid, but also has a heart of stone.

"Cheng Zhiqian, he is still a child, his parents are dead, and his grandmother at home still needs him to take care of her.

You also know that the crackdown is still going on. If he went to the public security bureau, he would definitely be locked up.

He is locked up, will you take care of his grandmother?

Aren't you killing an entire family in one fell swoop?"

Cheng Zhiqian felt that although this woman saved his brother, she was a person who could not distinguish right from wrong and was unreasonable.

“You are shielding a criminal. Just because he is a child, he must be taught a lesson when he makes a mistake.

Otherwise, he will only go further and further down the path of crime.

By then, you won’t be imprisoned, you’ll be shot!

Also, the place where he was hiding just now shows that this is not his first time stealing..."

Cheng Zhiqian suddenly let go of the boy's hand, dodged and kicked something that flew out of the alley, then ran back into the alley.

"It's a shoe!" Cheng Zhiming pointed at the shoe that was kicked not far away by his elder brother.

Li Qiumei pulled the boy over and found that they were the same pair as him.

After putting on my shoes, I saw Cheng Zhiqian had already climbed in through a window.

Li Qiumei quickly gave the boy the backpack and took out ten yuan and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Here you go! Run! Carry it home for grandma to eat."

"Thank you!" The boy named He Yuanzhou ran away.

Just as Li Qiumei was about to run, she saw Cheng Zhiqian coming out with a child younger than He Yuanzhou.

"The big one ran away. I'll call the police to search this place..."

Cheng Zhiqian looked at Li Qiumei in surprise: "Did you let the thief get away?"

Li Qiumei remained calm and said, "No, we couldn't catch him! He ran away on his own."

She looked at the boy that Cheng Zhiqian was holding: "How old are you?"

"Twelve years old."

It's the voice of a little girl!

Li Qiumei didn't expect that there was a child wearing such tattered clothes and barefoot in the county town. He was probably a little beggar.

"Don't do sneaky things anymore, do you hear me?"

The girl nodded vigorously.

Seeing that Cheng Zhiqian had no intention of letting the girl go, Li Qiumei had no choice but to tell the girl.

"Then give this uncle a promise."

The little girl dug the ground with her toes and stammered, unable to speak.

Li Qiumei told her: "Then I'll say one sentence and you repeat it..."

When he heard that he would have to thank his eight generations of ancestors in the future, Cheng Zhiming held his stomach and laughed so hard that he bent over, and the corners of Cheng Zhiqian's mouth twitched.

"This woman is literate."

As Cheng Zhiqian was thinking this, Li Qiumei suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Xiao Liu, run!"

Cheng Zhiqian reacted and wanted to chase after her, but was held tightly by Li Qiumei.

Two thieves actually escaped right under his nose. Cheng Zhiqian felt that he had failed in his duty as a soldier.
