At this time, Lao Jiangtou came to the yard next door and knocked on Jiang's door.

"Boss, please open the door, I'm dad!"

Jiang Da didn't even have time to put on his coat before he hurried to the yard and opened the door.

"Dad, what's wrong? Why are you coming here in the middle of the night?"

"Quick, don't sleep, hurry up and see if there's anything missing at home, there's a thief!"

"What? Brain thief?"

Jiang Da's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and a chill ran down his back.

The word "thief" is as terrifying as a ghost on such a winter night.

Ghosts only scare people and float around like a gust of wind, but thieves are different.

Thieves are human beings, those with evil intentions. These people are often of bad quality, lazy and lazy. If they are hit head-on, they may even reveal their vicious side.

Murder and arson are possible!

So Jiang Da was immediately frightened. While going to the warehouse to see the granary, he shouted into the house, calling for his mother-in-law and sons to get up and help catch the thief.

Soon the lights were brightly lit in the house, and not only the Jiang family was awakened, but the neighbors next door and front and back were also awakened. Everyone heard that there was a thief in the Jiang family, and they all became nervous.

The commotion lasted until late at night, when everyone dispersed and went to sleep.

But no one was sleepy anymore. They didn't dare to close their eyes while lying on the bed, always paying attention to what was going on outside.

After dawn, what happened last night quickly spread in the village. Yang Ruoqing had just finished washing and was about to go to the kitchen to help Wang Cuilian cook breakfast when Ms. Liu rushed over excitedly.

"Qing'er Qing'er, the big news is here. It's freshly baked and still hot. I brought it here to share with you!"

Yang Ruoqing made a 'shush' gesture towards Ms. Liu.

Mrs. Liu quickly covered her mouth, her eyes exposed outside her fingers rolling around wildly.

Yang Ruoqing made another gesture, and Mrs. Liu understood and quickly tiptoed to the small hall next to the bedroom.

Yang Ruoqing turned her head and looked in the direction of the cradle. The two little guys were sleeping soundly, so she also put down the jade curtain and came to the main room.

I poured a bowl of tea for Mrs. Liu to drink, but Mrs. Liu didn't drink it. She held the tea bowl and warmed her hands.

At the same time, he leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Are the two little ones still sleeping?"

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Fourth Aunt, what do you want to tell me?"

She is different now. She had a lot of free time when the babies were in her belly, and she often chatted with her fourth aunt.

Now that the babies are born, they are not so free.

She is sitting here, her ears and heart are all in the bedroom next door. As long as there is a slight movement in the cradle next door, she can feel it.

This is a golden finger given to every mother by the Creator. Isn’t it amazing?

"Qing'er, there was a thief in our village last night!"

"thief?"

Yang Ruoqing blinked, "It's not unusual. In the second half of the year, it's inevitable that some people will be too busy and do some bad things to fish in troubled waters."

In addition, this year is different from previous years. There was a flood in June, which ruined a whole season of crops.

Rebuilding the house, buying new furniture, etc. will cost a lot of money again. For most families, there is no savings at all.

As a result, families who are not already wealthy are even worse off.

In the second half of the year, we have to celebrate the New Year again, and we have to spend a lot of money. There will be a window of several months in the spring next year...

In this way, it is not unusual for people to commit petty theft.

"What was stolen was not money!" Ms. Liu suddenly added.

Now, Yang Ruoqing, who had originally reacted relatively calmly to this matter, couldn't help but have some reactions.

"What do you mean? What you stole was... a person?"

Men steal women, and women steal men. Don’t underestimate these villages. There are a lot of quarrels between men and women!

Hidden in a water tank and hidden under the bed, there are some bizarre plots that are not even filmed on TV!

"Who stole whom? Tell us."

"Ah? Did I say it wrong, or did you understand it wrong, Qing'er? It's not stealing people, it's stealing things!" Ms. Liu corrected hastily, patting her thigh.

"There is a thief in Lao Jiang's house. The bowl of meat and vegetables that your Mr. Jiang had hidden in the kitchen was stolen!"

"What?" This time, Yang Ruoqing really had a bigger reaction.

"Is there such a thing? The thief...has he been hungry for how many days?" she asked again.

"Who knows!" Ms. Liu curled her lips, "Maybe he was reincarnated as a starving ghost and has no future as a thief!"

"There's nothing missing in Mr. Jiang's house, right? Is everyone okay?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Such an old man lives alone. If someone with evil intentions pries open the door, sneaks in and steals things, and the old man breaks the door, he will harm the old man. The old man will not be able to resist.

"Everyone is fine, and there is nothing missing in other rooms. It's just that there is a bowl of meat and vegetables missing in the kitchen." Ms. Liu added.

She inquired about this very clearly, and then started chatting with Yang Ruoqing.

After a while, the children woke up.

Yang Ruoqing stood up and interrupted Mrs. Liu at the same time: "Aunt Four, I'm really sorry. I have to get busy now that the kids are awake. Let's talk next time."

Mrs. Liu also stood up and said, "I'll help you get a baby..."

Yang Ruoqing recalled that when Liu just spoke, she had picked her nostril with one hand and shook her head hurriedly.

"No, no, I'm familiar with the roads myself. Fourth Aunt, you can go wander somewhere else, I won't entertain you."

After saying these words, Yang Ruoqing got into the bedroom.

After the jade curtain fell, another curtain made of cotton cloth behind the curtain also fell.

This layer of curtain is specially used to block the cold air outside in winter. It has a very good thermal insulation effect and is very suitable for families with children.

Of course, if conditions permit, after all, the cotton needed to make such a curtain can be used to sew cotton-padded clothes and trousers for a family of eight for the winter...

Ms. Liu stood in the small hall for a moment and saw that Yang Ruoqing really didn't want her to go in, so she curled her lips and left.

Mrs. Liu walked on the front foot, and Zheng Xiaoqin came over on the back foot.

"Sister Qing'er, I'm really sorry. Something went wrong at home and I'm late."

She rubbed her cold hands and entered the bedroom. After entering, her whole body felt like she had stepped from winter to spring. It was so warm!

"It's okay, it's okay. They have just woken up. It's better for you to come early than to come by chance." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

Zheng Xiaoqin nodded and followed her old habit of going to the bathroom to wash her face and hands with hot water before coming out to pick up her child.

While she was holding a child and feeding her, Yang Ruoqing prepared a bowl of hot honey water to soothe her throat.

"Xiao Qin, my fourth aunt came over earlier and said that a bowl of food was stolen from Mr. Jiang's place last night? Is this true?"

Zheng Xiaoqin's eyes moved from the baby in her arms to Yang Ruoqing's face, "Hey, I'm scared to say it. Xianjun and I were delayed just because of this matter."

"My parents brought back a bowl of meatballs and gave it to Mr. Xian Jun last night, but it was stolen in the middle of the night. It's ridiculous to tell anyone!"

The two chatted for a while about this matter. At this moment, they both had the same attitude as other villagers in the village who talked about this matter, thinking that it was just a ridiculous and useless thing.
