Hard times have room

Chapter 524
In recent days, the villages around Hongxing Town have been in a state of anxiety, because there is a group of chicken thieves wandering around here and committing crimes madly.

In just five days, six crimes were committed, and fifteen chickens were lost, which made all the chicken-raised families in danger, and at night they carried their precious chickens back to their own rooms to sleep.

That's right, I put the chicken in my room, right next to the bed, for fear that if I come with me tomorrow, the chicken will disappear. I put it in the room, and I can detect any movement.

This also brought a lot of difficulties to Li Qiang and the others in committing the crime. The people in this village are all three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. There are more than ten people. If there is a quarrel, the neighbors will make some noise. Once they rush out, the few of them The little thief is definitely not an opponent.

No, I aimed at the fruit trees of each family again, looking for those with more fruit trees and more fruit, it is best to have chickens at home, easy to start, kill two birds with one stone, even if there is no chicken, there will always be some fruit.

Chickens can be brought back to the room to hide, but this fruit tree can't be hidden.

At this time, the price of fruit is not lower than the price of chicken. Although most people are now hungry and busy to survive, there are always some people who are rich, powerful and powerful.

When most people can't even drink sweet potato soup, they still have meat. With this meat, their desire for fruit also comes up. Those fruits with good appearance and good taste are their first choice. , not only to eat, but also to eat well. In the black market, good fruit sells more expensive than the most scarce meat, because of scarcity.

After all, you can still find some of this meat casually. If nothing else, just that chicken, most people in the village have a few of them at home, and there will always be some people who carry their own chickens and go to the black market to exchange them. food.

There are also people who exchange fruits for grain in the black market. However, if you want to look good and taste good, there are basically no people who meet this condition. Now there are many insects, and they are basically pervasive. Of the remaining fruits on the tree, which one has not been Insects try it first.

Once or twice, Li Qiang and the others really succeeded. However, the harvest is not as big as before. After all, the dark lights are blinding, and when I want to pick the fruit, I accidentally make a move. Unlike those chickens, the vigilance of sleeping at night is It will weaken, surprise, catch a few, twist the neck, this is successful, just run directly, it is very simple, in this dark night, if you want to catch up, it is really a difficult thing.

These people who dare to start have stepped on it in advance, and they are very familiar with it. Where should they run, where should they detour, where they can hide for a while, wait for the village to calm down, and then run.

Every time they act, they will make some noise, but they are lucky enough, and in the end, they all survived.

All in all, they were not chased away, but they had reached this point, and it was impossible to harvest as much as they wanted, and it was fortunate that they were not caught.

Recently, the things that Li Qiang took home were not as good as before. Xu Xiuying talked a lot about this, wondering which vixen he got.

If nothing else, the widow of Chenjiazhuang is better than her. She is plump and attractive, and her face is very good. She has seen Li Qiang drooling at the widow more than once.

The widow's reputation is not good, and her reputation has spread all over the world. Usually, those men in Chenjiazhuang like to help her with work, secretly doing things, let alone, otherwise, she is a weak woman, plus a 60-year-old How did the old lady raise the twin sons so fat at this time.

No, Li Qiang came back in the morning, before it was dawn, and Su Hongying hurriedly got up and lit the oil lamp. When she saw clearly what he had brought back, she couldn't hold back her mouth.

"Hmph, who are you sending it with just such a rubbish. The things you brought back before were not bad, but now they are getting less and less. The good things you distributed won't be taken to which vixen's house behind my back!"

"You are also a rare person. You have sons and daughters. You don't raise them, but you give money and things for the sake of such a cowardly hoof. ."

"What are you talking about, that's all, there's only so much in total, I'll take it all back." Li Qiang said loudly as he pushed the two cents on the table, plus two sweet potatoes.

His expression was very unnatural and guilty.

However, the dim light in the room was not enough for Xu Xiuying to see her expression clearly, otherwise there would be trouble.

Usually without any evidence, Xu Xiuying is yin and yang strange, and her words can separate people to death, not to mention what she sees.

It was ten years ago that he knew the plump and beautiful Widow Chen of Chenjiazhuang. When he first came, he was shocked. At that time, Widow Chen was his dream lover.

It's not that he didn't think about it, but at that time, he had no family or business, and Widow Chen was not Widow Chen, but Chen Qing, a very nice name.

At that time, the petition was still the bride, where could he be able to climb high.

Finally, out of desperation, he married Xu Xiuying, a widow with two children. Gradually, he gave up his idea, and he didn't even think about it. He didn't see any chance.

It wasn't until three years ago that the Chen Qing man was gone, and his mind became alive again. However, when he usually went to work, how could he have the opportunity to have any interaction with her? This mind was there, but it was a waste of time. That's it.

If he is a man, if he dares to go to Chenjiazhuang to look for Chen Qing, he will not know if it will happen or not. However, being beaten up will be a big lesson, and at the same time the house will be restless. Gradually buried in my heart, quietly waiting for the right time to take root and sprout.

No, this opportunity came after he mixed with the group of "good brothers" and got to know each other well.

With a recommendation from someone, this is the opportunity to kiss Fang Ze, and the filth in it is not enough for outsiders.

Anyway, since then, the things he brought home have dwindled day by day.

In the beginning, he would be able to bring some food home every one or two days, and the money was also one or two yuan. Now, every three or four days, he would bring something back, a few sweet potatoes, or potatoes. But one or two catties of white flower rice, the gap is too big.

The money has also changed from one or two yuan to fifty or six cents, and now it is one or two cents. The difference is not too big. It is certain that Xu Xiuying has doubts.

He spent all the money and food he deducted on Widow Chen. In the past, he could go there every once in a while, but now, he can go every half a month.
