After scolding Jiang Fan, Zhong Xueying changed the subject and asked why Deputy Director Li appeared in the abandoned warehouse.

"He's strolling around. You don't know, but Deputy Director Li has a nickname called Strolling Chicken. When he has nothing to do, he likes to stroll around in those nooks and crannies." Jiang Fan said nonsense.

"Really? Never mind. I'm getting off work soon. You treat me to dinner tonight." Zhong Xueying obviously didn't believe it, but she didn't care. She just suddenly wanted to ask, what does what Li Huaide does have to do with her, as long as Jiang Fan and the eldest brother are fine.

"Okay, I'll go tell Dad and the others, and then we'll go eat." Jiang Fan said with a smile. Now that he had passed this hurdle, things at home would be much easier.

He didn't put himself in danger this time, so there should be no problem.

After work, Jiang Fan rode his bike with Zhong Xueying, becoming a beautiful sight in the steel mill.

Many people envy them and think that they are a good match, but some people think that it is immoral for them to be like this before getting married.

But it's useless to say this, it won't affect the happy life of Jiang Fan and his partner.

In the courtyard, Xu Damao greeted everyone with a smile on his face, even when he met Sha Zhu, as if he had just given birth to a son.

This made Sha Zhu feel a little embarrassed to mention the bet to him, as it is a common saying that one should not hit a smiling person.

After returning home, Xu Damao couldn't wait to share the good news with Lou Xiao'e and Xu's mother.

After hearing this, Xu's mother slapped her thigh and shouted repeatedly, "May the ancestors of the Xu family bless you. Damao has made another contribution. Damao, I'll kill a chicken for you tonight."

Xu Damao didn't stop him. He did such a prominent thing, so it was only natural for him to eat chicken.

Then he told Lou Xiao'e the details of what happened, which of course was a bit exaggerated.

Taking most of the credit for herself, she played a huge role. Lou Xiao'e listened quietly, occasionally expressing her admiration, her emotions full of value.

At the end, Xu Damao sighed with regret, "Alas, it's a pity that Deputy Director Li was here today. Otherwise, the two of us could have taken down Wu Tiande directly. It would have been a great achievement."

Lou Xiao'e didn't think so. She felt that it was enough for Xu Damao to come back safely, and she didn't care about anything else.

After a while, the smell of Xu's stewed chicken came out, and the smell of meat spread directly from the backyard to the front yard.

When passing by the central courtyard, Xiao Banggeng looked at the steamed bread in his hand which was almost made of pure cornmeal and became dissatisfied again.

"Dad, I want to eat meat! Chicken and chicken legs! And chicken butt!"

Xiaodang on the side also showed a longing expression. She now knew that meat was delicious.

On the other hand, Jia Zhang said nothing and ate her meal silently.

"Wait, I will buy you chicken and meat after the sports meeting. Let's eat first." Jia Dongxu pressed his eyebrows and said to his children.

Although the family’s food crisis was resolved, the family savings were also exhausted. If the situation was not good this year, Jia Dongxu would have to sell the sewing machine.

Although things are better now and I can save some money every month, I don’t have much savings.

Besides, he still wanted to send Banggeng to school, and now it was already several days late.

After dinner, Jia Dongxu told Qin Huairu that he wanted to send Banggeng to school.

Qin Huairu naturally agreed without hesitation. She was not well educated, but she had two examples in the yard, Liu Guangqi and Jiang Fan.

As long as they can get into a technical secondary school, they won’t have to worry about their future.

Qin Huairu is not worried at all about whether Banggeng has the ability. Her son is so smart, how could he fail the exam?

Moreover, Banggeng is obviously a good student. Recently, she often sees Banggeng reading a booklet by himself.

Look, he has had this awareness since he was young. How could he not be a good student?

"Dongxu, I've wanted to say this for a long time. Banggeng should go to school. It's time for our family to have a promising student." Qin Huairu said happily.

But Jia Dongxu didn't think so. He just wanted Banggeng to learn to read and do math in school, understand some principles, and make a name for himself. He used to have such fantasies, but now he has basically given up on them.

He just wanted Banggeng to learn some lessons from the books, and then he would educate him well so that he could become a person like him, or preferably even better than him.

This was his simplest and most desired wish as a father. At least for now.

Banggeng had no idea that he would be going to school in a few days. Now he was studying the book he picked up that day.

Although he couldn't read, he could understand pictures. There were locks, wires, and the process of unlocking the lock on it.

Who is this guy? He's a natural born thief!

Learning the skill of lock picking is just a matter of looking, thinking and touching.

All the lock-picking people in the world have a combined talent of ten buckets, and Bang Geng alone has twelve buckets, and the rest of the people together owe him two buckets.

That night, Banggeng thoroughly learned all the contents in the book, and finally transformed from an ordinary player to a thief!

Chapter 467: The Stick Stalk Begins

On September 9th, there was only one day left to prepare for the steel mill sports meet.

The venue, venue layout, location arrangement, sentry patrols, etc. for today's sports meeting are all in place.

Especially the sentry issue, Li Weiguo focused on it for an hour, repeating it over and over again!

The spy caught yesterday was not discovered by their security department but by two technical staff members. This is simply an insult to their security department.

In other words, Jiang Fan and Xu Damao are all familiar with them, otherwise who knows how they would be ridiculed.

A group of fighters and scouts coming down from the battlefield, their vigilance is not as high as that of two scholars, it's embarrassing to tell anyone about it!

So the security department's guard duty today can be said to be quite strict. Everyone stared at the people coming in and out with wide eyes. If there was anything wrong, they would be stopped and questioned.

Even Jiang Fan was briefly checked.

"Didn't I tell you that this is necessary?" Jiang Fan said speechlessly.

"You don't understand. This is a matter of dignity." The inspector said solemnly.

Jiang Fan was so angry that he wanted to fight him on the spot. What did he mean by "he didn't understand dignity?" Is he a shameless person?

But he still went to work honestly.

I only worked half a day at the steel rolling mill today. In the afternoon, I received a notice that comrades who were participating in the competition could go there to familiarize themselves with the venue and practice their skills first.

This made these people extremely excited, and they rushed towards the venue with their hands rubbed, and some people who came to watch the fun also came over.

In the steel mill, some people attacked and stomped on a sand pit!

There were also people running on the track, stopping after running a few steps, and then starting again.

Some people also talk about how if they participate in the competition, they will use such and such postures and methods to win the championship.

Some even uttered the classic saying, "When I was young..."

In short, the steel rolling mill was very lively this afternoon, which made several leaders who came to inspect in advance quite satisfied.

Before leaving, he even said that after the work at the steel rolling mill was finished, he would let people from other factories come and learn from it.

Secretary Meng and Li Huaide naturally agreed happily to this.

This will be very beneficial to their steel rolling mill. The higher-ups have ordered you to come and study. Will you come?

You have to come.

You have to pay some tuition to study, isn't that reasonable?

We can't charge money, so you might want to make some other substitutions, such as local specialties, grains, meat, etc.

Anything goes, the steel mill is not picky!

As for Yang Aiguo? Although he wasn't involved in yesterday's incident, he still needed to be investigated. Now he's been marginalized, and even his old boss can't help him with this matter.

In the courtyard, Banggeng was walking around with a piece of wire in his pocket, looking for something to test his skills.

He originally wanted to go to the Jiang family, because the Jiang family had many houses and more money. But when he took a look, he found that Shen Yue, Qi Ting and others were sitting in the house, so he had no chance at all.

Although there was no one in the other rooms, the locks on them were of a new type that he had never seen before. It looked like they could not be solved with just a piece of wire, so he had to give up for the time being.

"Damn it, your Jiang family is the only one that can use a new type of lock. Can't you use the same lock as everyone else in the courtyard? Why do you have to do this?"

Banggeng went to the backyard cursing and found his second target, the Xu family.

He is still craving the stewed chicken that Xu Damao's family ate yesterday.

When I entered the backyard, I saw that Xu's mother had moved a stool and was sitting at the door, holding a child's clothes in her hand. Xu Xiao, who was almost two years old, was squatting beside her legs and playing with a small toy.

"Damn it! What's this old woman doing here? Isn't this affecting my career?"

Bang Geng was furious. He turned around and realized that he had thought too simply. It didn't seem like a good time to take action in broad daylight.

Not every household has someone at home, but there is always someone at home in a yard. If he takes action during the day, he will easily be seen.

After realizing this, Banggeng felt for the first time that he was wrong. How could he do such a thing during the day?

That bandit was active during the day, didn't he sneak around at night?

"It was a mistake."

Banggeng, having figured this out, was no longer angry and continued to wander around the courtyard. He didn't know why he was doing this, but his intuition told him that he couldn't just act directly.

In the evening, Sha Zhu returned with the chicken he had bought from the market. Tomorrow was the sports meet, and he needed to get some extra exercise before he could even face Xu Damao!

Banggeng suffered again today. He Daqing's cooking skills are much better than Xu's mother's. In addition to stewing a chicken into soup, there are other ways to cook it.

The rich aroma drifted into Bang Geng's nose again, making him swallow his saliva continuously.

Banggeng even did something similar to Yan Bugui. He squatted at the door with a steamed bun and a bowl in his hand, watching He Daqing cooking.

Next to him, there was a kid squatting.

He Daqing glanced at it and didn't take it seriously. He didn't really like Bang Geng. It was just that Xiao Dang reminded him of Yu Shui. After he left, Yu Shui must have been like this too.

I watch other people eating well while I can only go hungry.

Ugh.

Just when He Daqing's cold heart was a little touched, Jia Zhang also came out and squatted beside the stick, looking at He Daqing with an extremely aggressive look.

I don’t know whether he was looking at the person or the chicken in the pot.

But one thing is certain, that is, the appearance of Jia Zhang made He Daqing, who already had a paralyzed expression, look even uglier, and the speed at which the spatula in his hand rolled became faster.

After rolling twice, He Daqing threw down his shovel and shouted into the house, "Shazhu, get out here and cook! I need to take a break."

Without waiting for Sha Zhu to take over, He Daqing went straight back into the house. He really couldn't bear to look at Jia Zhang's face that looked like a cat-faced old lady.

After taking a look just now, he felt like he was going to have nightmares for days.

so horrible!

Sha Zhu walked out of the house with a reluctant look on his face. He was persuading Yang Shufen to go to the hospital to give birth.

It seemed that he was influenced by Xu Damao and Jiang Pingan. Although the due date was still half a month away, Sha Zhu still wanted Yang Shufen to go to the hospital in advance.

Lao Deng is back home, we are not short of money!

But Yang Shufen was unwilling to do so. She was used to being frugal and felt that it was a waste of money. It would not be too late to go when she was really going to give birth.

Sha Zhuben wanted to insist, but Yang Shufen said, "Are you doing this for my own good, or do you want to compete with Xu Damao?"

This sentence made Sha Zhu become an idiot. What else could he say? It was true that he did it for Yang Shufen's own good, but it was also true that he wanted to compete with Xu Damao.

After all, before giving birth, Lou Xiao'e didn't say that she would stay in the hospital so long in advance.

Chapter 468: Sha Zhu Reports to the Police

Late at night, Bang Geng quietly got out of bed and slipped out of the room. After arriving in the yard, Bang Geng walked directly towards Sha Zhu's kitchen.

After what happened tonight, Banggeng felt quite resentful towards Shazhu. Damn it, his uncle Banggeng had been squatting at the door for so long, but Shazhu didn't even think of sending him some meat to eat.

Do you know what it means to respect the elderly and love the young? If you buy a whole chicken, can you finish it? What's wrong with sharing some with him?

If the He family’s cooking wasn’t delicious, he wouldn’t be interested.

Thinking of this, Banggeng had already come to the kitchen window. Because there had been many thefts in the courtyard, many people closed their doors and windows when they went to bed at night, and the same was true for Shazhu's kitchen.

But this did not pose a problem for Banggeng, who was preparing to change his job. He took out a piece of wire from his pocket and opened the window in no time.

If Liu Guangtian saw this, he would definitely exclaim "Impossible!"

When Liu Guangtian first learned how to pick locks, it was under the personal guidance of his master and after hundreds and thousands of times of practice.

Banggeng was able to achieve this level just by reading a book. How much talent does it take to learn this without a teacher?
