After rebirth, I still experienced a mess

116 Stealing has become normal

When it was daybreak, while they were playing cards, Xiao Wei quickly grabbed a shovel and slipped out, dug up the soil and pounded it firmly with the shovel handle.

If someone asks, just say the broken porcelain pieces underneath are dangerous.

Just after breakfast, Chief Sun from the police station came over and asked a few casual questions about what happened in catching the thief last night. He complimented a few young men perfunctorily but didn't even ask their names.

Xiao Wei secretly cursed the director for his unnecessary actions. Is he too bored to spend the New Year?

Fortunately, Director Sun confessed himself that he came mainly to visit Jiang Yingying and her child, so he went into the room, holding the baby and sticking various blessing characters.

Director Sun and Jiang Yingying's ex-husband were comrades-in-arms and also Jiang Yingying's adoptive father when she was young. Before Jiang Yingying got married, he took good care of the mother and daughter. Xiao Wei naturally did not suspect anything and was too lazy to pay attention.

He was about to go to the kitchen to help clean up, but he heard Jiang Yingying calling him, so he had to go into the room.

Director Sun shook the child and casually said a name, asking Xiaowei if he knew it.

Xiao Wei was stunned, feeling that something bad had happened: "I haven't heard of it."

"Think about it again. He is your grandmother's cousin."

Xiao Wei shook her head: "I really don't know such a distant relative. Besides, I'm not familiar with any of my relatives. Did he do something wrong?"

Director Sun smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I sneaked into a village director's house last night to steal bacon and was caught."

"Haha." Xiao Wei laughed out of anger: "You dare to steal anything."

Director Sun also laughed: "In the past two days, there have been more than 20 thefts in the six townships of the town. I guess there are still many cases that have not been reported. They steal chickens and dogs, and even steal vegetables from the fields."

Xiao Wei certainly understood what was going on. Rural people were only allowed to eat half a pound of meat per month, and only eight ounces during the Chinese New Year. There was also a lean period after the Chinese New Year. What happened last night was just a normal phenomenon after the development of the characteristic economy. It would be repeated in the next twenty years or so. What happened right now was nothing.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Wei couldn't help but ask.

Director Sun looked at Xiao Wei and said, "The investigating police officer said that your cousin's father is a cripple, his mother is in poor health, and he is almost 30 years old and still unmarried. What do you think should be done?"

"Handle it impartially."

Even if they were family members, Xiao Wei would not plead for mercy, let alone a distant relative.

Director Sun was not surprised by this answer. Xiao Wei was famous for not being recognized by his relatives. He just asked Xiao Wei a strange question: "Xiao Ji has a wide range of experience in the city and knows so many officials. Do you think things will get better this year?"

Xiao Wei thought for a moment before replying, "When a society strongly calls for conservation and sets unattainable goals, the situation is already very serious. However, this year should be a good harvest, and life will get better sooner or later."

Director Sun smiled and said, "People with talent speak differently. It's like saying nothing."

Xiao Wei thought to himself: Do you want me to tell you that in twenty years, farmers will only have 4 taels of meat for the New Year? Now it is twice as much as it will be in the future, what else do you want? Besides, this year we will implement distribution according to needs, so food is free, and life can be as good as we want.

Jiang Yingying took out ten yuan and a few pounds of meat coupons and said, "Since Xiao Wei's name has been mentioned, then what about the cousin? Let's educate him and let him go."

Director Sun said without hesitation: "Okay."

Xiao Wei objected: "If we do this, countless relatives will come to visit us soon, and even if godfather demolishes the house, there won't be enough to share."

Jiang Yingying smiled and said, "Then wait until they come to the door."

Xiao Wei sighed, "I don't care what others think of me."

Jiang Yingying scolded: "You little bitch. You donated hundreds and thousands of dollars to strangers, so how can you ignore your relatives? You have to listen to me on this matter."

Xiao Wei had no choice but to say, "But you can't say it was given by us."

Director Sun laughed: "You are a kind person, but you are just trying to cover up the truth."

Xiao Wei suggested maliciously: "You can say it's government relief."

Director Sun was stunned for a moment, but finally agreed. He then asked jokingly, "Xiao Ji and the one from the countryside can't break up?"

Xiao Wei certainly knew what that meant: "At least not for now. He is still in charge of more than 10,000 to 20,000 kilograms of grain."

Director Sun smiled and said, "It's not a big deal if it's hanging."

Xiao Wei could only say: "I will finish it as soon as possible."

Oh, why do all people dislike her and Wang Youfu?

Seeing Xiao Wei coming out, Qian Xiuwen and the others started to persuade Xiao Wei to go to the county town to play for two days, saying that Haitao had already arranged accommodation for her in the county government and guaranteed that the same thing as last time would not happen again.

The two little girls and Mingqin also wanted to go, but Xiaowei firmly refused: "Why don't we just go to the city together to play for a few days? The boys can sleep in the dormitory of their fellow villagers. I have a stove at home, so it's convenient to cook."

When they heard that they could go hiking and see great monks and big temples, Mingqin and Chenxia responded immediately. The two little girls were even cheering with excitement because they had never been there before.

Someone said: "I didn't even bring a change of clothes."

Qian Xiuwen laughed: "With a first-class tailor here, I'm not worried that you will have nothing to wear."

The good thing about being young is that you can go on a trip at any time.

When they arrived at their home in the city, Chenxia and the two little girls were so happy that they forgot everything else.

Xiao Wei started to register the food she would need for three to five days. The cooperative would only open after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Someone curiously asked where she would buy the food. She said, "We'll just eat what we have now. There's no need to go through so much trouble."

Qian Xiuwen disagreed: "When you go to a rich man's house, how can you not have good wine and food? You must beat the rich man and divide his land."

A classmate who knows him well said: "Don't worry, many people are lining up to curry favor with him."

He wrote down the things he wanted to buy and asked the student next door to give them to Yaoqing.

Chenxia had already changed into sweeping pants and danced on the altar, which attracted everyone to tease Shi Mingsong and even the two little girls to join in.

Xiao Wei picked up the scissors and shortened the pants while sternly instructing, "You can only wear this here, you can't take it home."

Everyone was puzzled, but Xiao Wei still insisted: "No reason. If you don't obey, I won't do it for you in the future."

The yard became lively. Yaoqing and the kid next door followed the two little girls to dance and received rounds of applause.

Director Zhou personally pulled the cart over, and everyone sighed again.

Seeing Haitao in a depressed mood, Mao Tongxian deliberately provoked him with a wicked smile: "I won't be surprised by anything that happens to Xiaowei. Aren't you used to it yet?"

Qian Xiuwen laughed and scolded: "If Lao Mao continues to provoke him, he will go crazy."

Guixiu brought her boyfriend over and was surprised to see more than a dozen people making a scene. She pulled Xiaowei aside and said, "Do you remember that loudmouth in the hospital? He wants to invite you to perform at his son's full moon party."

Xiao Wei's heart was moved. This is a good way to make money. "How much is he willing to pay?"

The lady was surprised: "Do you really want to go?"

Xiao Wei was even more surprised by Gui Xiu's reaction: "As long as the money is in place, I can sell myself. Is there a problem?"

Gui Xiu looked around Xiao Wei and asked, "Are you sure you're telling the truth?"

"of course."
