Chapter 19 The Vineyard Was Thieves

People in the village like to sit together and gossip about family affairs after dinner and tea, talking about the parents of the east and the short stories of the west.

I don't know who said a few words to the outside, overnight, the news that the old Shen's family made a lot of money by growing grapes spread in Qinghe Village, and there were rumors that the reason why the old Shen's granddaughter Letting go of a good job in a big city to return to my hometown is because growing grapes can make a lot of money.

Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen have been very busy recently and rarely walked around the village, so they didn't know the news.

Returning from Yunchuan to deliver goods again, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Shen Qiuqiu and his brother returned home.

Grandpa Shen is currently following the Anti-Japanese War drama on Channel [-], and now this is the time when the TV drama is broadcast, but the old couple did not stay in front of the TV as usual.

After Shen Qiuqiu finished washing his hands, he swept around the yard, but he didn't see his grandfather. Turning his head, he saw his grandma's sullen face, with a somewhat absent-minded look, and quickly asked, "Grandma, is there something wrong at home?"

Grandma Shen sighed, nodded subconsciously, and shook her head in fear that the two children would be worried when she came back to her senses.

Something happened at home, but it wasn't a big deal.

But it turned out that Grandpa Shen went to the field to look at the grapes as usual this morning, and when he came to the gate of the vineyard, he found something was wrong.

There are two deep footprints at the gate of the vineyard, and there are still a few crushed grapes on the ground... When I left yesterday, I obviously didn't have these.

Grandpa Shen hurriedly walked into the vineyard to check. After walking around the garden, he found that several branches of a vine had been torn off by someone, and there were still some fruit bags scattered on the ground. (Technical measures for pollution-free fruit. After the grapes are thinned, special fruit bags are used to cover the fruit ears to prevent diseases and insects.)
The fruit bags can prevent diseases and insects, and are usually removed after picking. Grandpa Shen will collect the removed fruit bags in a unified way, and will never throw them on the ground like this.

According to various signs, Grandpa Shen concluded that there was a thief in the vineyard last night.

The amount of theft is not too much, Qinghe Village is located in a remote place, there is no shop in front of the village, and most likely the people in the village did it.

Grandpa Shen was so angry that even if he went to find the village chief, he didn't know that the village chief was not at home and had gone to the town for a meeting.

Worried that someone would steal the grapes again, Grandpa Shen went home and packed his bedding and luggage, took a flashlight, and led the rhubarb to the vineyard.

When growing grapes in the first year, Grandpa Shen asked someone to pull two carts of hollow bricks, and built a house in the vineyard, where he usually put farm tools and other things, and this time it just came in handy.

Grandpa Shen threw the bedding and luggage into the hut, planning to stay here in the future.Even the dinner was prepared by Grandma Shen at home and sent to the vineyard for him.

After hearing the whole story, Shen Qiuqiu also had some headaches, saying that big trees attract wind, and a lot of money attracts thieves.This hasn't made much money yet, so the thieves are recruited.

This matter was a bit tricky, and she couldn't think of any good way to solve it for a while.But grandpa can't be allowed to live alone in the vineyard. It's okay if the grapes are stolen. Grandpa is old. If something happens, it's too late to regret it.

"No, I still have to get Grandpa back."

Thinking of this, Shen Qiuqiu didn't bother to eat, went back to the house to find a flashlight, and prepared to go to the vineyard to find grandpa.

Shen Jiashu hurriedly stopped her, "Sister, it's pitch dark outside, I'd better go."

Grandma Shen waved her hand, calling them to sit down and eat, "Sister and brother, stop arguing, you are still hungry, eat your meal first."

"But……"

Shen Qiuqiu wanted to say more, Grandma Shen had already filled the rice and handed it to her.

"It's not like you don't know the old man's stubborn temper. Eight cows can't pull back what he decided. I tried to persuade him this afternoon, but it didn't work.

Fortunately, rhubarb is here, don't look at it behaves like a cat in front of you, and barks fiercely to outsiders. "

There is also a reason why Grandma Shen is so relieved.

The villagers of Qinghe Village have lived here for generations, and the neighbors are familiar with each other. There are idlers and lazy people everywhere, but there are definitely no treacherous and evil people in Qinghe Village.

What's more, there are several families living near the vineyard. If something happens, they will rush over to help in time when Rhubarb calls out.

Shen Qiuqiu was still a little worried, frowning, so worried that she couldn't eat.

Shen Jiashu took the pickles, took a few mouthfuls of rice in the bowl, wiped his mouth and said: "Sister, you stay at home with grandma, and I will go to the vineyard to be with grandpa."

This is also a way, Shen Qiuqiu nodded, and went back to the house to find out Grandpa's military coat, thinking that there were many mosquitoes in the vineyard, he brought him another bottle of toilet water.

"Be careful on the road."

After sending his younger brother out, Shen Qiuqiu stood at the door in a daze for a while.

There are still five or six tons of grapes in the vineyard, which cannot be sold out in a short while... But, there is only one thousand days to be a thief, how can one thousand days be against a thief?

Grandma Shen took her granddaughter back to the kitchen to eat, and she muttered, "If it's really impossible, let's sell it directly to the cooperative, and sell it all at once. If you sell the quietness, you don't have to stay in the field to attract thieves."

Shen Qiuqiu nodded, this is also a way, I am afraid that Grandpa will not agree.

That night, Shen Qiuqiu tossed and turned in bed.

In the vineyard, Grandpa Shen and Shen Jiashu didn't sleep well either. At first, the floor was too hard and they couldn't sleep.In the middle of the night, Rhubarb suddenly screamed, and the grandparents and grandchildren hurriedly took the flashlights and went out to check. They heard a faint rustling sound, and when they looked carefully, they could not see anyone.

Grandpa Shen didn't sleep anymore, so he took Da Huang and sat at the door to watch.

Shen Jiashu has been busy delivering goods to his sister for the past few days, and has not had a good rest. At this time, he was already yawning and sleepy, so he couldn't help but persuade: "Grandpa, sleep for a while. Those people were scared away by the rhubarb. , I guess I dare not come."

Grandpa Shen waved his hand, "Go to bed first, Grandpa can't sleep."

Sitting here until dawn.

Shen Qiuqiu cooked noodles for the two early in the morning. Seeing the two sitting at the door, she was surprised and said, "Why do you wake up so early? Could it be that there are too many mosquitoes and you can't sleep?"

Shen Jiashu looked at his sister with a panda on his head, "There are no mosquitoes, but the thief has come. Grandpa and I have been guarding all night."

Hearing that the group came again last night, Shen Qiuqiu was angry and scared, and rarely lost his temper, "These people are too rampant, staying here is not an option, if not, let's call the police."

Grandpa Shen is getting older, and he considered things more carefully. He shook his head and said, "You can't call the police. This must be done by the villagers. If the police really arrest people, wouldn't they kill them? It's all the villagers' fault." , we can't do that immoral thing."
