Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 200 Chapter 200
Back in Yi Zhonghai's house, not long after Li Pingan sat down, Liu Haizhong hurried in from the backyard: "Old Yi, it's terrible, there are thieves in our yard, the chickens of Xu Damao's house are in the middle of the day, Someone stole it from the courtyard, we can’t ignore it.”

Because when Li Pingan came back just now, he had told Yi Zhonghai about Xu Damao's family losing the chicken, so Yi Zhonghai didn't have much reaction after hearing Liu Haizhong's words.

"I know about this. After dinner, let's hold a meeting of the entire hospital to try to find this chicken thief." Yi Zhonghai didn't even put down his enamel jar, but said indifferently.

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he asked Li Pingan to go to the front yard and call the third master. The three of them held a brief meeting, and then the two children of Liu Haizhong's family informed the people in the yard about the meeting.

Not long after dinner.

All the adults and children in the yard took their own benches and sat on the open space in the middle yard.

In this day and age, stealing is a big deal. Nowadays, the common people are poor. Families with a large number of people have to embezzle the next month’s rations in advance every time the food stamps are issued on the 25th. Life is very difficult, and they eat every day. I have to calculate the food at home, eat a little more every day, and I will be hungry at the end of the month.

Now there is a chicken thief in the yard, and the neighbors in the yard are very concerned. After all, a thief can’t just steal a family. Everyone feels that they should be found out, so as not to encounter this situation in their own family. Xu Damao’s family has money. Well, it doesn't matter if a chicken is stolen, if some food is stolen from your home, the whole family will be hungry.

At this time, in the open space of the middle courtyard.

Women in thick floral padded jackets and men in padded overcoats gathered together and whispered to each other, it was very lively.

A small Eight Immortals table was neatly placed in the middle of the yard.

Sitting in the middle of the table is of course the uncle in the courtyard, Comrade Yi Zhonghai.

Sitting on Yi Zhonghai's right is the second uncle Liu Haizhong, wearing a blue worker's big padded jacket, with a big belly, drinking tea from an enamel mug.

The person sitting on the leftmost seat is naturally Comrade Yan Fugui, the Third Master.

Next to the three uncles, there was a long stool, on which sat Xu Damao and his wife.

Seeing that people were almost here, the second uncle of the official fan stood up first, cleared his throat with full authority, and then said

"Everyone, please be quiet. We are having a meeting today. The main thing is that the old hen raised by Xu Damao's family in the backyard is lost."

"The nature of this matter is very bad. We haven't had this kind of stealing in our hospital for many years. Today's meeting of the whole hospital is to find out the chicken thief."

"Okay, next, let Comrade Yi Zhonghai, the most respected uncle in our courtyard, preside over this meeting, and everyone applauds."

After the second uncle finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding.

Yi Zhonghai stretched out his hand and pressed down, and after everyone finished applauding, he looked at Xu Damao and said slowly: "Xu Damao, you are a victim, you should stand up and talk about the situation first, let everyone understand what's going on "

Xu Damao stood up in response, and said loudly to everyone in the yard: "That's what happened. I just got home from work and saw that the chickens locked in the basket were gone. Xiao'e and I searched around the yard. , have not found the whereabouts of this chicken.”

"The chicken coop at home is good, my chicken can't escape by itself, there must be a chicken thief in our yard"

"Everyone should pay attention, if you can steal my house today, you can steal someone else's house tomorrow, you must catch this chicken thief"

After listening to Xu Damao's words, the people in the courtyard nodded in agreement and responded in unison.

After the people in the courtyard quieted down, Yi Zhonghai, who was sitting on the main seat, waved his hand to let Xu Damao sit down, then put down the enamel jar in his hand, stood up and said, "Okay, Xu Damao has already said what happened. , if someone from our courtyard did it, whoever did it now, for the sake of being a neighbor in the courtyard, just pay Xu Damao's family a chicken."

After he finished speaking, he waited and saw that the neighbors below were all chatting left and right in low voices, and when no one took the initiative to stand up, Yi Zhonghai became a little angry.

He slammed the table and said loudly, "If you don't take the initiative to stand up, if we find out, you won't care if you are a neighbor who lives in a courtyard, and you will be sent directly to the police station to squat on the fence."

Hearing that if they were caught, they would squat on the fence, everyone looked around one after another, wondering who did it.

At this time, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law showed a trace of uneasiness. When they were having dinner at night, they discovered the strangeness of their three children.

Usually, he would gobble up his meals, especially stick stems. This kid usually ate two or three corn buns and was still hungry. Tonight, he didn't even finish a single corn bun.

Coupled with the smell of roast chicken on the three of them, and the oil spots on the sleeves of the third child, they knew what happened after a little scaring.

After detailed questioning, Mrs. Jia Zhang knew that no one in the yard had noticed when Bang Geng stole the chicken, so she told Bang Geng and his three brothers and sisters to go to bed quickly and not to come out.

Listening to what Yi Zhonghai said now, if he was caught and sent to the fence, he felt a little uneasy, but he didn't admit it just now. If he admits it now, it will affect the reputation of his stick, so he continued to pretend to be deaf with the luck that no one would find out. dumb.

If you want to talk about this, someone really saw it, and that is the protagonist of our TV series, Sha Zhu. When he got off work, he was the same as in the original drama. When he passed the cement pipe, he smelled the smell of roast chicken, and followed the smell curiously. Take a look.

However, the difference from the original drama is that when Sha Zhu found out that it was the three brothers and sisters who were roasting the chicken, they didn't go up to talk to each other, but just glanced at them and left there.

From the beginning of the general meeting of the hospital, Sha Zhu has been secretly looking at Qin Huairu, and the uneasiness on Qin Huairu's face, Sha Zhu naturally noticed.

Seeing that Qin Huairu was covering up the matter of stick stealing chickens, the now silly Zhu's impression of Qin Huairu was even worse, and the last bit of affection in his heart was gone.

As for whether to expose the stick, how is it possible? This guy Shazhu and Xu Damao didn't like each other. They fought a lot since they were young. Back to the stolen chicken.

The three mothers sitting in front said: "Master, do you think someone from outside came in to do it? The neighbors in our yard shouldn't do such a thing, right?"

Yan Fugui, who was sitting in the lower seat, shook his head when he heard his wife's words, and then said: "If the chicken is really lost, it can only be done by people in our yard, it can't be outside people"

"Why?" The third mother looked at her wife in confusion.

"It's very simple. There are many people at home in our courtyard every day. If a stranger enters the hospital, it is impossible not to go forward and check. It can only be done by our own people."

Now the street aunts are very wary of strangers. Whenever a stranger enters an alley, someone will definitely go up and question him within two steps.

Seeing that no one admitted it, and no one reported it, Xu Damao, who was sitting on the stool, became anxious. If no one saw it, wouldn't his chicken be lost for nothing?
When he was anxious, Xu Damao suddenly saw Li Pingan who was standing next to him watching the fun, and remembered that Li Pingan had just said a word at Sha Zhu's house, and he helped Sha Zhu clear his suspicions, so he immediately said: "Brother Ping An, You are the most educated person in our courtyard, you come out to help solve the case and find the chicken thief."

Li Pingan, who was called inexplicably, was a little baffled. He was a purchaser, not a police officer, so he was asked to decide any case.

"Brother Da Mao, stop making trouble. In terms of learning, I am sure I can't compare with the third master. Our third master is a teacher of the people. I have only graduated so long ago. How can I settle the case?" Li Ping just wanted to eat melons, but Not wanting to be eaten by others, he quickly waved his hand to refuse.

Yan Fugui, who was sitting on the table of the Eight Immortals, couldn't close his mouth when he heard Li Ping's flattering himself. I went to a private school for a few days when I was young, and I can't compare with you, a regular technical secondary school graduate."

Just when Li Pingan wanted to communicate with Yan Fugui as a cultural person, the old man sitting at the top also smiled and said: "Ping An, since Xu Damao asked you to talk, then you can simply talk about your opinion "

Now that the old man had spoken, Li Pingan couldn't refuse. After thinking about it, he stood in the middle and said to the neighbors in the courtyard: "A chicken will definitely not be lost for no reason. Brother Da Mao also said it just now. , the chicken coop is intact, then the chicken must not have escaped by itself, someone must have taken it.”

"I also asked sister-in-law Xiao'e. When she went to the bathroom at noon, the chicken was still there, so it meant that it was lost in the afternoon."

"If you catch a chicken, you must eat it. There are still a lot of grandpas and aunts who don't work during the day in our courtyard. If you eat chicken in the courtyard, the smell is so strong that someone will definitely smell it. It means that the chicken was stolen. "

"The chicken thief stole the chicken from the backyard, and he had to go through the middle yard and the front yard in the middle, which shows that the chicken thief's skills are definitely more flexible. At least he must run fast. It’s a long way, and someone will definitely find it.”

"The adults in our courtyard have to go to work during the day and are not in the courtyard. The rest of the elders and aunts don't have this skill, so the adults in the courtyard can basically be ruled out."

"Today is Saturday, and the students don't have classes in the afternoon. I guess, it's probably because the kid in that family got greedy after seeing the two chickens, so he grabbed the chickens and ate them out."

"I suggest that every family go back and ask their children. If the child caught the chicken and went out to eat it, pay brother Da Mao a chicken, and then go back and clean up the meal. Let's forget about it, brother Da Mao how do you feel?"

Li Pingan's analysis is very reasonable, and Xu Damao also thinks that there is a high probability that someone's child stole it. Hearing Li Pingan ask himself, since a child stole it, he can't ask for compensation, otherwise his reputation will be bad. So he nodded and agreed.

"Comrade Ping'an is right. As expected of the leading cadres in our factory, he is really quick-witted. He solved the case so quickly. It's really amazing. Big guys, applaud Comrade Ping'an." Liu Haizhong stood up and took the lead. Li Ping applauded.

Liu Haizhong is an official fan. He has become the head of the purchasing department within a few months since he saw Li Pingan came to the rolling mill.

Moreover, the personnel affairs in the factory are like a big sieve, and no news can be kept secret.At that time, not long after Li Pingan became the head of the procurement unit, gossip spread.

It is said that Li Ping'an is a transitional position in the canteen procurement department. After the deputy department of the material department retires, Li Pingan will be transferred to be the deputy department.

This news naturally reached the ears of Liu Haizhong, who wanted to go up to the camp. He was very envious of Li Pingan in his heart, and wanted to build a good relationship with Li Pingan. I also mixed up with a half-time official.

"Second uncle, you have won the prize. I am just some personal speculation. I don't know whether it is true or not." As for Liu Haizhong's overtures, Li Ping'an knew it well, but for this old boy, Li Ping'an Ping An really didn't like him, and his attitude towards him was always polite and alienated.

After Li Pingan finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction, and then said to everyone: "Everyone heard what Ping An said just now, why don't you go back and call the children out to ask if you have any opinions?" "

The others nodded in agreement. After all, what Li Pingan said just now was very logical. No one can guarantee that the chicken was stolen by his own children.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to ask them to go back and call the child, Mrs. Jia couldn't stand anymore.

"I said Grandpa, look at such a cold day, the children have gone to bed early, and now it is easy to freeze the children when they are woken up. Even if the children eat, it is not good for the children in front of so many people. Okay, anyway, tomorrow is the weekend, why don't you ask the children tomorrow after they wake up from sleep."

The smell from the three of the sticks and the others is not so easy to dissipate. Now call the three of the sticks out to make sure they will reveal their secrets, so Jia Zhang stood up and said in a panic.

Jia Zhang opened his mouth, and the neighbors who were about to go back to call their children all stopped and looked at Jia Zhang suspiciously in their eyes. After all, their family's stick is not a good boy. It hasn't been long since the shit thing happened at home.

Qin Huairu who was standing next to Jia Zhang's lungs was about to explode at this time, her mother-in-law is usually very shrewd, how could she become so stupid at a critical moment? Didn't she tell the big guys clearly that it was our family? Can the stick stem steal the chicken?

As soon as Jia Zhang's words came out, he also realized that this place has 300 taels of silver.

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Jia Zhang pretended to be calm and said: "What are you looking at me for, am I wrong?"
