Chapter 244 Go to Zheng Fu's Warehouse to 'Borrow' Grain

That night, Zheng Lanlan couldn't take a shower, but she asked Zhao Tang to fetch half a basin of water and wipe her body.

In this way, the days passed slowly, Li Chang had been away for almost a month, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter.

Vegetables in the field, rice ears have already grown in the field, or the growth is just about to grow rice ears, without exception, the leaves are slowly withering, starting to turn yellow and dry.

Those who are not resistant to drought have already died, and the original green trees are also sick because of it.

The edible vegetables in the field instantly became the object of competition, and from time to time I could hear someone yelling at someone for stealing my vegetables. The voice was so loud that it penetrated the entire Jinxi Village!After scolding for a long time, he stopped.

And this kind of thing didn't happen before, but more and more recently.

Every family keeps a close eye on their own vegetable fields. If they grow far away and feel that they can be eaten, they will take them home and store them, and they will not leave any for others.

Occasionally when talking with villagers outside, if someone asks how much food your family has, they will immediately keep quiet and don't want to reveal it at all.

In this way, in a seemingly peaceful village, because of food, every household is always on guard, afraid of taking a nap, or being anxious if they are not under their noses for a moment.

Zheng Lanlan was sitting in the coolest and most ventilated place in the house, with a fan in her hand, taking advantage of no one coming, she secretly opened a little lapel to let the cool breeze blow in.

Since she was sitting under a big tree in the shade at this time, it was cooler than other places, and the moment the wind blew, Zheng Lanlan sighed comfortably.

Just at this time, Zhao Tang hurried over: "Miss is not well, something happened to Miss!"

Zheng Lanlan pulled up the front of her shirt, Zhao Tang just ran up to her, she raised her eyebrows, and replied: "Your miss, I am very nice!"

Zhao Tang didn't have time to talk to her, so he directly explained why he came here: "Miss, a lot of food has been lost in the master's warehouse, and he is currently checking over there! Miss, you should also go to your warehouse."

Zheng Lanlan's complexion changed, she didn't care about fanning anymore, she stood up and walked to Zheng Fu's warehouse: "Oh? Someone just picked the lock to get in?"

Zhao Tang hurriedly followed: "I checked the door lock when I came back, but I didn't see any signs of damage."

Zheng Lanlan clicked her tongue. These people are really bold. They voted for other people's food before, but now they dare to pay attention to the food in dad's warehouse. Aren't they afraid of being caught?

However, in the future, not only will someone be sent to guard the Zheng family, but also some warehouses will be required!
its not right!What does the guard do in the warehouse?Pull the food directly into her warehouse!Most of the food in her storehouse was taken by Li Chang to two shops, and now there is quite a lot of emptiness, enough for daddy to store it!

Zheng Lanlan solved the problem of Zheng Fu's grain storage in her heart, and her steps became much lighter.

When she arrived, Zheng Fu, Zhao Liu and the others had already found out that the grain thief had climbed onto the roof, uncovered the small green tiles, and stepped on the grain sacks into the warehouse.

Then, according to the rice grains scattered on the ground, it was deduced that the food thief must have handed out a bag of rice grains separately.

In the end, it was determined that there must be more than one perpetrator, because the number of food bags was missing by nearly a dozen bags.

If there are two or three people alone, it is impossible to transport so much in a short time without making a sound.

After listening to the narration and speculation, Zheng Lanlan asked Zheng Fu if he should tell Lizheng or the county magistrate to solve it.

Zheng Fu was very hesitant, thinking that the villagers stole a few bags of rice because there was nothing to eat in this critical period, and they didn't want to worry about solving their hunger worries.

Zheng Lanlan rubbed her forehead and smiled, saying that Zheng Fu is over 50 now, not as decisive as when he was young.

Zheng Fu smiled and did not speak, nor did he defend himself.

In fact, he had experienced this kind of life without a second meal, and he found it very difficult, and the people of Jinxi Village, no matter how excessive they are on weekdays, in the face of such natural disasters, they are nothing more than small troubles.

What's more, Jinxi Village is also the place where he grew up. Eighteen generations of his ancestors are enshrined in the ancestral hall. Due to emotion and reason, Zheng Fu felt that he didn't have to worry about it.

But when Zheng Lanlan wanted to transport the grain to her warehouse, Zheng Fu thought about it and agreed.

Zhao Liu and the others started to work again amidst the sweltering heat, sweating at the slightest movement.

The bustle here is in full swing, and across from the Zheng family, in Jinxi Village, for some reason, suddenly there is a rumor.

'Is there any food in your house?My family's food stockpile had run out, and the mother-in-law and the baby were crying from hunger, so I 'borrowed' some from Mr. Zheng. '

'what?Will he borrow it? '

'of course!If you don't believe me, let's meet at Tiankan tonight, and I'll take you there. '

Then this sentence was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and it was spread like this.

Therefore, at night, more and more people gather at Tiankan. Those who have food at home want more food, those who have enough food want surplus food, those who have been hungry for a few days just want to have a stutter, and a large group of people want more food. Zheng Fu went to the warehouse.

When Li Baichun got the news, he rushed over in a hurry, and kept thinking in his heart:

"God bless! Don't make any fools! I hope I have time!"

However, when he rushed to the warehouse, he saw the wide open door before he got close. The villagers inside were like vicious dogs on patrol, collecting the rice grains and rice in the corners of the warehouse.

A few even argued endlessly because they found a large group.

One said that I would arrive first, the other said that I would see first, and the other said nothing, but silently put the rice into the pocket he brought.

Li Baichun saw the faces of these people, as if they were picking their own rice, without any sense of guilt for breaking into other people's houses, and feeling guilty of being a thief, he couldn't help but have a headache.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and said loudly, "What are you doing? Are you borrowing rice from Mr. Zheng? Ah? One by one, let's see what you look like now!"

Some people stopped collecting food and stood there in a daze; some people blushed at the words, but kept putting them in bags;

After a while, a person explained in a low voice: "My family has not eaten rice for several meals. There are two elders and four young children. They only eat two bowls of sweet potato soup every day. My mother and Xiaosi are both sick. Li Zheng I. Borrow some rice to go back to satisfy my hunger."

Li Baichun couldn't bear it, but he still said: "Is this how you borrowed the rice? The master didn't come, so you started here first?"
Do you know what you are doing now?If you don't ask yourself, it's stealing!Let me down!Stop pretending! "

As he spoke, he walked towards the man closest to him, and snatched the bag from the man's hand: "Did you hear that? Put it all down for me! Still pretending? Have you asked the owner? Ah?"

The bag was robbed, the man snatched the bag over like protecting food, staring at Li Baichun stubbornly, sadly and resentfully, and roared angrily:
"You guys are so full that you don't know how hungry you are! My family members are so hungry that they can't get off the ground, and you still stand at the commanding heights and criticize us not to do this or that!
We have been short of food for so long, why don't you and Mr. Zheng you are talking about give us some food?Watching the villagers starve to death?ah?
Just ask yourself, do you want to smile smugly when you see that your own family has surplus food, while others are tightening their belts for a bite to eat? "
