Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

After thinking it over, Fan Jinyou came up with an idea: "Old Ma, use your channel to get the wine in first."

Zhao Yali quickly pulled Fan Jinyou's sleeve. You know, the wine that Ma Liansheng had brought before was all mixed with water, and Xu Huizhen had asked him to return it.

Fan Jinyou pulled his sleeves open and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Ma Liansheng said happily: "Okay, you still have to rely on me, then I will go."

After Ma Liansheng left, Kong Yuqin said, "Director Fan, I think we should invite Xu Huizhen back."

Seeing if Fan Jin would make any move, He Yumei said, "Director Fan, I have to remind you that if the tavern closes, you will be the one to lose your job."

"Shut up."

After hearing her words, Fan Jinyou felt very uncomfortable.

He Yumei curled her lips and said nothing more.

Zhao Yali said, "Don't hold on any longer. I'll go and treat you."

After saying that, he went to the backyard of the tavern to find Xu Huizhen.

"No need to go. She has returned to her parents' home. She left this morning with her child. Her mother-in-law has also returned to her own home."

"She's the boss?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I'm not at home now."

Zhao Yali said: "Hey, this capitalist is a capitalist, so dark."

Fan Jinyou said disdainfully: "She, is she a capitalist? At best, she is just a small private business owner."

Naturally, Xu Huizhen did not return to her parents' home, but went to her husband's home.

In the evening, the tavern was open for business as usual thanks to the wine brought in by Ma Liansheng.

There were fewer and fewer customers in the store, with only three tables occupied.

Since Xu Huizhen reorganized the tavern, Niu Ye started to patronize it again. As usual, he ordered two taels of wine, poured a glass of wine from the jug, raised it to his mouth and drank it.

"flutter."

As soon as he drank it, he spat it out and asked sharply, "What kind of wine is this?"

The atmosphere in the store suddenly became tense.

Niu Ye said angrily: "You sold me this watered-down wine for only 10 cents and 10 ounces. Do you still have a conscience?"

Pianerye said, "I can't drink this 7.1 ounce bottle. I saw that this is a public-private partnership, so I didn't dare to say it."

Niu Ye said, "Where is Xu Huizhen? Call her out for me."

However, no one in the store paid any attention to him.

Uncle Niu understood immediately. He had a very good impression of Xu Huizhen and the Qin family, which meant that something had happened to Xu Huizhen again.

Teacher Xu said, "Uncle Niu, this tavern has been serving Erguotou for more than a week since Xu Huizhen reorganized it. Hey, I didn't expect that after just a few days of sweetness, it would go back to the way it was before liberation."

However, no one in the store paid any attention to them.

This attitude undoubtedly made Niu Ye even angrier.

"Cadre Fan, please speak."

Fan Jinyou raised his head and said, "What am I saying? The private manager told me to do this. I'm just on duty. I have no say in this."

Zhao Yali said, "Uncle Niu, please make do with what you have today."

“Is drinking a makeshift thing?”

Then he continued, "Officer Fan, you said that the private manager ordered this. I don't believe it at all. It must be you who ordered this. Tell me, is that right?"

Fan Jinyou didn't respond, but changed the subject, saying, "Uncle Niu, let me give you a tip. If you don't want to drink, just pour it out. You're not paying anyway."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the tavern who knew Mr. Niu immediately looked at him angrily.

"What? Master Niu, I won't pay you. I'm used to buying wine on credit, but when have I ever owed you a penny? You don't welcome Master Niu, right? If you don't welcome me, I won't come. And you're not a man. You're pushing your own responsibilities onto others. What a piece of shit."

After saying that, he threw the cup and left angrily.

Xu Hesheng picked up the wine pot, slowly poured it on the ground and said: "This wine is not deceiving people, it is people who deceive people."

Then he smashed the wine jug on the table and got up and left.

Pianerye picked up the wine jug, put his hands close to the spout and drank it all in one gulp. Then he put the jug on the table, stood up, smacked his lips twice, and walked out without saying a word.

The other guests also felt uncomfortable when they saw this scene: "Hey, this tavern has really lost its atmosphere these past two days."

"We come here to drink to broaden our horizons, not to be bullied. Well, let's drink this cup and get drunk."

After they finished drinking, they left the pub. Now, there was no customer left in the pub.

Zhao Yali sighed, "Okay, let's just close the door."

Fan Jinyou was not in a hurry. His mind was not on the tavern at all, but on the yard behind the tavern.

He waited until 9 o'clock in the evening, but he didn't hear Qin Ming coming back. What does this mean? This means that no one is at Qin's house today.

Yes, Qin Ming did not go home today, but went to his parents' house.

"Qiangzi, I want to ask you for a favor today. Let's go to Xu Huizhen's house to get some wine."

"Officer Fan, this isn't okay, is it? Then aren't we just stealing the wine?"

"How can it be stealing? Those are all the wines from the tavern. We put them at Xu Huizhen's house. But she's not at home these few days, so the tavern has to be open. How about this, you helped me today, and I'll treat you to half a catty of wine after that."

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

"That's fine. I'm short of money right now and don't have money to drink."

After the two men discussed it, Fan Jinyou stepped on Qiangzi's shoulders to climb over the wall, and then jumped into the yard.

The next day, before going to work, Qin Ming went to the house to check. As expected, three of the four jars of wine placed behind the tavern had been taken away, and one was broken on the ground. The yard was filled with the smell of alcohol.

He placed the rest of the wine in the cellar and locked it from the outside. He believed that Fan Jinyou would not dare to break the lock.

Qin Ming did not hesitate. He closed the door and went to the police station to report the incident.

After a while, Zheng Tianfang, the deputy director who was on duty at the police station, came to Qin's house with two police officers. As soon as they reached the gate of the yard, they smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

After the on-site inspection, Deputy Director Zheng said, "Qin Ming, there is a person's footprint left at the scene. If what you said is true, the gate of the small courtyard is still locked, then there is probably another person outside to meet the thieves. There are probably two thieves."

Zheng Tianfang and Qin Ming already knew each other. When Director Zheng heard that the Qin family had only lost three jars of wine, he already had an idea in his mind.

Soon, following the faint footprints, everyone found the tavern in front. It was because Fan Jinyou stepped on the ground soaked with wine when he was stealing the wine.

Originally, according to Xu Huizhen's request, the convenience canteen was supposed to open at 4 a.m., but because there was no food, the canteen did not open.

At this time, it was almost 8 o'clock. Zhao Yali was going to work as usual. She was surprised to see a policeman standing at the door of the tavern. She thought something had happened in the tavern and ran over quickly.

"Qin Ming, police comrade, what's going on?"

Qin Ming said: "Last night, my house was robbed. Three jars of wine were stolen and one was broken."

Deputy Director Zheng then asked, "You are an employee of the tavern, right?"

"Yes."

"Then please open the tavern. We suspect that the lost wine was moved here. We need to search for the lost property."

Zhao Yali did not dare to neglect: "Oh, I'll open the door right away."
