Yang Ruoqing nodded.

Yang Huazhong then asked a few more of them: "Now that the news has been released, our family has also bought a bunch of things for banquets to use as bait, and we are just waiting for the fish to jump into the pond we dug to eat the bait.

There's nothing wrong with that, so where should a bunch of us stay tonight, Qing'er, Da'an, you siblings should give me some answers now, right?"

It's not surprising that Yang Huazhong asked this, mainly because when everyone was discussing the plan to catch the thief, Da'an proposed smoke bombs, and the Luo family was left with four people, including two babies.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is difficult for Blacksmith Luo to take care of Wang Cuilian and two young children by himself. He must be too busy to take care of so many rooms in the front and backyard, and he cannot spare any time to take care of the Sun family and the family.

Yang Huazhong's family.

No one from the Sun family and the Yang Huazhong family stayed, and the news was that Yang Huaming and the others went back to patrol several times at night.

Therefore, for a team of thieves who are bold and know how to use wisdom to cover their thefts with a mysterious cloak, tonight is undoubtedly the best opportunity to take action.

During this once-in-a-hundred-year window, all the big shots they were afraid of went to Sunjiagou, and sweeping the grave of Mrs. Sun was a major event for the Luo family, the Sun family, and the Yang family, so if this good opportunity tonight was missed,

You may only be able to commit petty theft during the year.

If you seize this good opportunity tonight, you may turn your life around!

Even if Yang Huazhong and the others were on guard, the thieves would risk anything in the face of tempting benefits.

Find wealth in danger!

"Dad, we will go to the old house to rest for a while, and then we will set off to Qingshui Town via another road."

We have already arrived at Sunjiagou, and Yang Ruoqing doesn't need to hide anymore.

"What are you going to do in Qingshui Town? Make a big circle and then go back to the village?" Yang Huazhong was puzzled and asked again.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Dad, if we don't go back tonight, we won't go back. I have arranged guest rooms, charcoal braziers, and meals at the Tianxiang Building in the town. Everything is ready. Let's drive there tonight with a large force.

Stay one night and return to the village tomorrow."

"Ah? Live in the town?" Yang Huazhong thought for a while, "That's not bad. We definitely can't live here in Sunjiagou. If we go to the village, the plan may be ruined. We can't stay outside and wait.

At dawn, you might as well go to a restaurant in town!"

Xiao An pointed to the children in front and said to Yang Huazhong: "If we can't keep all these little guys together, they'd rather find another place to sleep!"

Having made up their minds, everyone speeded up and headed towards Sunjiagou.

Suddenly, two mountain men came in front. The older one was about the same age as Xiaojie's father, and the younger one was probably in his early thirties.

The two of them came all the way here. When they saw Lao Suntou and his team, their eyes lit up. The older one shouted directly: "Uncle, uncle, I am Mo Gen!"

Lao Suntou was busy walking on his way, feeling a little disappointed. He suddenly heard someone calling him, raised his head and saw the two people coming over. He was also stunned, and then the disappointment disappeared from his face, revealing a bit of surprise and excitement.

"Is this Mogen? Why are you here?" Lao Suntou came out of the crowd and came to Mogen and his son.

Mogen first asked his son to pay tribute to Lao Suntou, and then he took Lao Suntou's hand and said excitedly: "Earlier, I heard a child at home running back and said that he saw a mule cart and a large group of people going to the woods behind the village. I

I thought that this area is the ancestral graveyard of my uncle's family, and as the New Year is approaching, I guessed that you should come back to visit the graves, so I quickly took my eldest son to the mountain to find you, and picked you up to have lunch at my house!"

…

Soon, Lao Suntou brought Mo Gen and his son to Yang Huazhong and the others. They were both acquaintances and greeted each other. Then Lao Sun Tou told Yang Huazhong and the others Mo Gen's purpose.

When the old man said these words, he could hear that he was very happy in his voice.

Because this was something he didn't expect. He originally thought that the villagers in Sunjiagou would just say hello when they met on the road or just remember the old acquaintance, but he didn't expect that Mogen would go up the mountain to invite him to a meal in person.

Yang Huazhong and Xiao Jie's father understood Mo Gen's intention, and they all politely declined Mo Gen's kindness.

"We brought dry food and rested in the old house later. Then we pasted the Spring Festival couplets and left." Xiaojie's father said.

Mo Gen said: "How can we survive by eating dry food? How tiring it is to travel through mountains and rivers. Solid food is not of any use!"

Yang Huazhong also smiled and nodded, "Yes, Brother Mo Gen, I really don't need to disturb you all. It's the twelfth lunar month and every household is busy."

Mo Gen said: "Lao San, why are you so polite to me? I went out a while ago and even went to your house for a meal. Do you think I am so polite to you?"

After saying that, Mo Gen came over and put his arm around Yang Huazhong's shoulders, "You are not polite now. You have to come to my house for dinner no matter what."

Yang Huazhong smiled and went to see Lao Suntou.

Mo Gen had let go of Yang Huazhong again, came to Lao Suntou, and said respectfully: "Uncle, I will help you."

Lao Suntou laughed and said: "Mogen, we are a big family..."

Mo Gen looked around and said with a smile: "Uncle, are you worried about making me poor? Don't worry, there will be floods outside this year, but here in the mountains we have good weather and a bumper rice harvest.

I can still afford a meal!"

Since Mo Gen has talked all the way to this point, if he doesn't go, he really won't give the other party face.

And, to be fair, whenever people from Sunjiagou go out to the mountains and pass through Changping Village, as long as they are willing to go to Lao Suntou's place, Lao Suntou will treat them with the best dishes at home.

In this way, everyone entered Sunjiagou and went straight to the Sun family's old house.

The courtyard door of the old house was locked and the lock was rusty.

The thick felt cloth and thatch draped over the courtyard gate were blown away by the wind, and a corner of the felt cloth danced in the wind.

The wall of the yard, which is one person high, is covered with weeds. They should have been relatively lush in spring and summer, but in the middle of winter, they have all withered and turned yellow. They cling softly to the wall. Together with the dead old locust tree in the yard, they seem to be telling stories.

With the vitality of the past.

Old Suntou took off the keys from his waist, found one, and inserted it into the door lock with a slight trembling...

With a creak, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Lao Suntou led everyone into the courtyard covered with dead leaves.

There are several adobe main houses facing the house, with wing rooms and kitchen rooms on both sides.

Everything was cold, and the smoke had long ceased to emit from the chimneys.

There is a stone trough at the bottom of the outer wall of the kitchen. This stone trough was used by Lao Suntou and others many years ago when they still lived in the mountains to feed and drink food and water for the chickens, ducks and pigs in the family.

Now the stone trough has long dried up, and it is also filled with dust and dead leaves, almost filling the stone trough.

With his head and chest heaving, Old Sun took off the bunch of keys from his waist, pushed open the doors of every room in the yard, and then opened the windows. The dust stung his nose, and the musty smell was overwhelming...

Mo Gen went home to prepare meals, and Yang Huazhong and the others helped Lao Suntou clean up the yard, check and repair doors and windows.

The women left He Lian'er and Luo Baobao to look after the children. Others rolled up their sleeves, some went into the kitchen to prepare hot water, and some began to clean the house.

Those who carry water, chop wood, sweep the yard, clean tables, children chasing and playing in the yard...
