She stood by the window of every occupied house in the Chen family for a while, rummaged through the three feet underground and in every corner of the house, collecting everything she encountered into the space.
In the end, they didn't even let go of the yard, nor the chickens, ducks, and pigs raised at home. They were collected and thrown into the breeding pens in the space.
After collecting the goods, she was afraid that Shen Gongqi would find her not at home when he came back, so she didn't dare to stay outside longer and quickly returned home along the same route.
When she got home, Shen Gongqi hadn't come back yet. She closed the courtyard door from the inside, entered the house, and changed her clothes back into the clothes she usually wore to sleep.
Yaya was also taken out of the space, put into her quilt and continued to sleep. Fang Nuo sat on the kang, waiting for Shen Gongqi to come back.
The food left by Shen Gongqi was also placed on the Kang table in the outer room.
A kerosene lamp has been burning in her house since dark, and it is still on. At about eleven o'clock at night, there was a knock on the courtyard door of her home.
Fang Nuo got off the kang, walked to the house and asked, "Who is it?"
"Daughter-in-law, it's me," Shen Gongqi replied
Hearing Shen Gongqi's voice, Fang Nuocai walked over and opened the courtyard door. When Shen Gongqi entered the courtyard, he quickly closed the courtyard door and locked it.
Seeing that his hands were full of things, I guess it was a good harvest this time.
The two of them did not stand in the yard talking and walked into the house. After Shen Gongqi put down his things, he turned around and hugged Fang Nuo and said, "I'm scaring you, I won't come back so late in the future."
"Fortunately, you're hungry, I'll heat up the food for you," Fang Nuo said.
"I'll heat it up myself. The temperature outside is low at night. You don't have much to wear, so don't go out to brag." Shen Gongqi grabbed her and said
"That's okay. I'll put away the things you brought back. You boil a pot of water to steam the food. Let's just eat it like this today," Fang Nuo said.
"Well, I know. I'll tell you about today's harvest later." After Shen Gongqi finished speaking, he let go of her hand and went out with the food.
Fang Nuo brought some of the things he brought back and put some on the kang in the outer room so that he could sit down and eat later.
As for packing, it was already late at night. She was already very sleepy because she was pregnant, so she had to wait until tomorrow to pack her things.
After a while, Shen Gongqi came back with hot food. Seeing that she was still standing there in thin clothes, he put the food in his hand on the table, then went into the back room and got her a coat to put on.
Fang Nuo saw that he was going to get a coat for himself and said, "I'm not cold, please eat quickly."
"Be good, dress better, otherwise it will be very difficult for you to be sick now and you can't take medicine," Shen Gongqi advised softly.
After hearing this, Fang Nuo knew that he was worried about her, so she reached out and asked him to put on her coat and said, "Okay, you should eat quickly. It's already so late, you must be starving."
"I ate the pancakes you brought me for lunch, but I'm actually not very hungry," Shen Gongqi said, pulling her to sit down by the kang.
"That little pancake is enough to cover the bottom, but you are so hungry as you said," Fang Nuo said.
After Shen Gongqi finished dinner, he asked her to go back to the house to rest.
He went to get a set of clean clothes and went out to fetch water and take a bath.
By the time he returned to the house after washing, Fang Nuo had already fallen asleep.
Now that she is pregnant, she is quite lethargic. She waited for him so late today. Shen Gongqi touched her face and looked at her face for a while.
After he felt a little warmer, he turned on the oil lamp and lay down under the quilt, hugging her and falling asleep.
Early the next morning, a scream came from the Wang family.
This sound attracted several families around their house.
Those who went behind didn't know what happened, but they only heard a few cries from the Wang family.
So he asked the person who came first: "Aunt Liu, what happened?"
"Oh, you guys are late. I don't know who the Wang family has offended. Last night, their home was robbed. All their money, tickets, food, etc. were stolen." Liu The aunt turned around and saw that she was an acquaintance, so she told him everything she knew.
One person also added: "Not only that, I heard that even the chickens, ducks and pigs in her house were stolen. I don't know how hard the family slept at night, and people came into the house to steal things." , but no one was woken up, the chickens, ducks and pigs must have made a noise when they were caught."
"Is that so? Who is crying inside?" the man continued to ask.
"Who else could it be? Madam Wang, she is crying. She is more sad than those whose parents died. Maybe the family has a lot of savings," Aunt Liu said
Everyone was so busy eating here this morning that they even forgot to go to work.
So when they were gathering, the captain looked at the scattered people below and asked: "Where are the people today, why are there just you?"
A man who heard the news said: "Captain, don't you know? Wang Daniu's house was robbed last night. There was a commotion over there early in the morning. Everyone in the village came to watch the fun."
"There's still this matter. Why doesn't anyone say anything? Let's go and have a look." The captain said and led the people to Wang's house.
Fang Nuo also had to work today, but Shen Gongqi asked her to wake up, have breakfast, and then take Yaya to the fields while he went to pick up the work first.
Unexpectedly, I didn't finish my work this morning and was taken to have a meal by the captain's uncle.
The captain arrived at Wang's house, squeezed through the crowd and walked in. He first asked the people around him who knew the situation what the situation was like now.
Knowing that a lot of things had been stolen from the Wang family overnight, the team leader asked if he had reported it to the police.
When Old Man Wang heard that he had reported it to the police, he was afraid that the things he had hidden would be dug out, so he quickly said: "No, there is no need to report it to the police."
"Why don't you report it to the police? That's half a year's rations for our family and all the money. There's nothing left. We have to find the thief. If he doesn't find it, what will we eat and drink?" "As soon as Mrs. Wang heard what her old man said, she immediately stopped crying, grabbed the person and shouted loudly.
Old Man Wang was winking at her, but Madam Wang, who was going crazy, couldn't see her.
Now, she only remembers the things stolen from her home, which are her life.
If she knew who stole it, she could kill that person first.
But they didn't know that no one heard any sound at all, and the whole family slept until dawn last night.
"Old woman, come into the house with me, and I'll tell you something." When Old Man Wang saw her not looking at him, he took her into the house.
After waiting for ten minutes, the two came out of the house.
Mrs. Wang didn't make any further fuss, she just said that they could handle the matter at home themselves.
Seeing that the family didn't want to go to the police, the captain didn't bother to say anything.
What he can say is useless even if he doesn't think about it.
Now that things here are over, he turned around and greeted everyone eating melons, getting ready to go to work.
