Zhang Hexuan had once seen the TV series fill the courtyard, so this reward was free for him.
"Knowing the plot in advance is awesome!”
Zhang Hexuan adjusted his collar and put on a red armband before running to the courtyard.
As soon as he arrived nearby, he heard the two people arguing in the courtyard.
It was Xu Damao and He Yuzhu who entered.
"Stop! Stop! The inspection team is here!"
When the first uncle saw the patrol team coming, he quickly went up to pull the two of them away.
However, He Yuzhu seemed to have the upper hand.
Look, Xu Damao looked like a one-eyed panda. He must have been punched in the eye.
Seeing the red armband was like seeing her own mother. She said excitedly.
"Inspector, you're finally here. Help me!”
"Didn't you say you lost a chicken?" Grandma Su asked with a frown. Why are they fighting?"
"It's like this!"
Xu Damao pointed at He Yuzhu angrily.""When I got home from work and found that the chicken was gone, I asked Lou Xiao'e to quickly find you to report the case. Then I thought, did the chicken run out of the cage by itself? I started to search the courtyard."
"This search is amazing. We found the thief directly!”
"He Yuzhu has already cooked the chicken I lost. There's evidence in that pot!”
Grandma Su quickly went to the kitchen and opened the lid. It was a pot of ruddy edamame roast chicken.
The fragrance assailed her nose. To be honest, He Yuzhu's cooking skills were indeed not bad. She was so hungry that her saliva almost fell out!
Grandma Su couldn't help but swallow her saliva and turned to glare at He Yuzhu.
"Silly Zhu, what happened? What else do you have to say?"
"Grandma Su, don't listen to Xu Damao's nonsense." He Yuzhu was anxious. This isn't his at all."
"That's right. He lost the chicken, and I have a chicken in my pot. But the chicken I stewed is the chicken he lost?”
"Does he mean that anyone who wins chicken dinner in the city is a thief?”
The neighbors in the courtyard were soon attracted by the quarrels.
However, they were not here to help him out of the predicament. They were here to gloat and watch the show.
He Yuzhu and Xu Damao had never gotten along since they were young. They had always been fighting.
Coincidentally, there was no television in this era, and the people in the courtyard had nothing to do after dinner, so they treated their argument as a pastime to relieve their boredom.
Xu Damao and He Yuzhu's words were very reasonable.
Grandma Su couldn't tell for a moment whether the chicken that Xu Damao's family lost was the one in the pot.
She turned to look at the three old men sitting in the courtyard.
"Three masters, tell me about it. Such a big thing happened in your courtyard.”
When he heard that it was time for the speech, Second Uncle couldn't wait to stand up and say in an official tone,"Actually, this matter is very simple. Xu Damao said that the chicken in Silly Pillar Pot was lost by his family, so how can we prove it?”
"Who knows, maybe this chicken was stolen by Silly Zhu from the factory?”
He Yuzhu looked at the crafty Second Uncle Liu Haizhong and felt bad.
Stealing a neighbor's chicken was a crime of theft, but stealing a chicken from a factory was a completely different matter.
In this era where everything was publicly owned and everyone was still eating from the same big pot, stealing chickens from the factory was equivalent to stealing the country's property.
If he was locked up, he might have to spend the rest of his life in prison!
"Is there a need to do this to me? It was just that she didn't give him any when she brought the vegetables two days ago.”
Just as He Yuzhu was about to explain anxiously, a loud voice suddenly sounded.
"You're wrong! Second Grandpa! You also know that stealing state property is a serious crime. Moreover, my brother is a model worker in the factory. Do you think he would do such a thing?”
The one who spoke was Zhang Hexuan.
At this moment, everyone noticed Zhang Hexuan, who was wearing a red armband, standing behind them.
The Eldest Second Master was immediately embarrassed by the junior's retort.
Ever since Zhang Hexuan was assigned to the street office, he had been unhappy with Zhang Hexuan.
Liu Haizhong had wanted to be an official for half his life, but he had never realized it. In the end, a junior was assigned to work as soon as he returned from cutting the queue.
He was a big-bellied and narrow-minded person. How could he not be envious and jealous?
However, the second uncle did not dare to act rashly. He was certain that Zhang Hexuan had a red armband on his arm. He could only ask coldly," Zhang Hexuan, Silly Zhu is your brother. If he committed a crime, you would definitely speak up for him." But now, the chicken in the pot was not lost by Xu Damao. How could he prove it?”
At this moment, Third Uncle seemed to be afraid that others would forget about him and began to speak."What Second Uncle said is not unreasonable. You see, first go to the market to buy chickens and then kill them. Silly Zhu only has so much effort after work, how is that enough?”
"This? Tell me, how do you explain this?"
He Yuzhu was at a loss as to what to do with the two masters 'combined attacks.
He looked helplessly at the crowd, hoping that someone would stand up and speak up for him.
However, when his gaze landed on Qin Huairu, she immediately shifted her gaze away and retreated a few steps, afraid that she would get into trouble.
Zhang Hexuan could see that. He had received so much kindness from my brother, but he didn't even want to stand up and say a word at the critical moment?
he asked Grandma Su.
"Grandma Su, it happened in our courtyard and it involves my brother. Can you let me handle it personally? I promise to catch the real chicken thief immediately.”
Grandma Su was skeptical. Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Zhang Hexuan nodded. I'm sure!"
Grandma Su had been looking forward to Zhang Hexuan taking over.
Losing a chicken was a big deal. She didn't know how to find out who the chicken thief was, so she couldn't make a conclusion.
If the case was wrong, then they would be wronged. Wasn't he looking for trouble?
This was also the reason why she had brought Zhang Hexuan along just now. She wanted to find someone to back her up when she could not solve the problem.
Anyway, Zhang Hexuan was a young man and a newcomer. He had to take the blame.
He took the blame and she took the prize. That's right, this was the so-called scheming.
Everyone was waiting for Zhang Hexuan to announce who the real chicken thief was.
Unexpectedly, he took out three ten-cent notes from his pocket."Yu Shui, go buy me two bottles of orange soda that's especially full. Hurry up, I need it!”
He Yushui was stunned for a moment. She immediately went to the store and bought two bottles as requested, although she did not know what Zhang Hexuan wanted to do.
Zhang Hexuan took the soda and opened the bottle cap. Then, he said to the child who was gloating,"Come on, stick, I'll treat you to a soda.”
This time, everyone was dumbfounded.
Didn't this guy just say that he wanted to catch the real chicken thief immediately? Why are you teasing children now?
"Nonsense!"
Grandma Su was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore."Zhang Hexuan, don't waste your time. I told you to find the chicken thief, not to play with the children with soda. Tell me, who stole Xu Damao's chicken?”
Zhang Hexuan smiled." Don't worry, everyone. We'll know everything after the stick has finished drinking the soda." Kid, this is on you. Drink up!"
How could the stick guy drink a 1.5-cent bottle of orange soda? When he saw the yellow, orange, and bubbling drink, he grabbed it and drank it without Zhang Hexuan saying anything.
Little Dang and Huai Hua also wanted to try it, but they were pushed away by him.
In this special era where everyone was hungry, the common people had no concept of satiety.
As long as there was food, even if they were too full to walk, they would still try their best to stuff it into their stomachs.
Even adults were like this, let alone children.
Gulp, gulp, gulp…
The bottle was quickly consumed.
Since he had eaten chicken earlier and had come back for dinner, plus the orange soda, the food had already reached his throat.
He swore that he had never eaten so much in his life. Just as the stick was about to burp in satisfaction, he couldn't hold back the things stuck in his throat and spat them all out.
Of course, the chicken that had not been digested in his stomach was also spat out.
Zhang Hexuan sneered and said,"Everyone, look. Now, everyone should know who the real chicken thief is!"”
