I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard
Chapter 21 The story begins
As the weather got colder, Jia Zhang stopped all outdoor activities and hibernated at home. She kept the kang warm and stayed in the inner room all day without coming out.
All of a sudden, Huaihua was forced to move out. Jia Zhang had been staying at home, so she couldn't enter the post station during the day. She couldn't eat secretly at home anymore.
The main reason was that she didn't want to stay alone in the same house with Jia Zhangshi. She didn't want to hear Jia Zhangshi's gossip anymore.
But these few days, every time she went to Lou Xiao'e's house, she would run into the deaf old lady. Every time she said something insinuating, she wanted to drive her away! Later, her words became more and more straightforward, and she almost waved her cane to drive her away.
The more she did this, the more Huaihua refused to leave. Aunt Lou, the host, invited her to come as a guest, why didn't you let her come? Just because you are old and senior?
The deaf old lady now had a deadpan look on her face whenever she saw her. Whenever she praised Shazhu, Huaihua would giggle. The deaf old lady was so angry that she was shaking!
In fact, Huaihua knew in her heart that she couldn't interfere too much in the relationship between Aunt Lou and Sha Zhu. This was related to whether the Lou family could escape to Hong Kong!
If Sha Zhu hadn't taken Lou Xiao'e to ask the top leaders for help next year, who knows what would have happened to her parents who were imprisoned there. It's probably not going to end well!
Now I can only let these two people develop. As long as I manage the time well, I can ruin the night before Lou Xiao'e goes to Hong Kong and come to Sha Zhu for warmth.
In order to avoid causing extra trouble to the Lou family in the future, Huaihua began to reduce the number of visits to Lou Xiao'e, creating opportunities for the deaf old lady to brainwash Lou Xiao'e.
She also wanted to take advantage of the limited time she had left to accumulate more points for herself. If she sneaked to Hong Kong, she would not be able to find any bargains there. After all, Hong Kong's historical background was too shallow and could not be compared with that of the Forbidden City.
At this point in time, the inner city wall of the Forbidden City no longer exists, and only a few magnificent tall city gate towers remain. The original site of the inner city wall has become the second ring of the Forbidden City.
When the inner city wall was demolished, the bricks were snatched up by the residents who knew the news. Those who are close to the water get the moon first! If we talk about who snatched the most, it must be the residents near the inner and outer city walls.
Nanluoguxiang is not very close to the Dongzhimen city wall, but the residents there have hoarded so many city wall bricks. What about the people who lived on both sides of the inner city wall? It is simply unimaginable.
Huaihua went to Dongzhimen for an inspection. It was indeed true! In the alleys on both sides of the Second Ring Road, you can easily find rows of city wall bricks. She didn't even need to scan them, because the city wall bricks were thicker than ordinary blue bricks.
Even the bottom of the moat next to it was full of bricks. Huaihua walked along the river bank for several hundred meters and found thousands of bricks of the city wall.
After searching one place, she took a bus on the Second Ring Road, which was just one stop away, and continued her treasure hunt after getting off.
Sometimes she would be kicked off the bus by the bus driver and conductor, and had to wait for the next bus. Later, the bus drivers and conductors running this route all knew this four-year-old girl who took the bus alone every day.
Of course, if you work hard, you get something in return. She now gets at least tens of thousands of city wall bricks every day, along with some miscellaneous items.
Some things would appear sporadically underground, in cracks in the wall, and in the water. Especially those discarded broken furniture and old porcelain thrown in the corners of the yard. As long as they could be exchanged for points, Sophora japonica would not let go of any of them.
She was still restricted by her age. Although she was young and well-dressed, every time she went to a strange compound, no one stopped her to ask questions. They just thought she was a relative visiting.
But it would take her several days to search each place. At her current speed, she would have to run through all the alleys near the Second Ring Road for more than a year, and she would not be able to complete this task.
Now she goes out early and comes back late, and her family doesn't want to care about her at all. She is just an unnecessary little transparent! In the eyes of her mother Qin Huairu, there is only her son Banggeng, and no extra energy is spent on her.
After more than ten days of continuous shopping, her shopping platform points gradually increased to more than 800,000 points. She spent another 64,000 points to upgrade the scan function.
Now her remote scanning range stops at 100 meters and no longer goes up, but the distance she can see underground has reached 20 meters.
She continued to search in one place, in the alleys and courtyards, and finally attracted the police from the Dongzhimen Police Station!
When she used her perspective function one time and accidentally discovered that there were people in public security uniforms hiding behind large stacked city wall bricks, luring brick thieves into the trap, she decisively gave up this place.
She took a bus to Xizhimen and continued her brick-moving business. If Xizhimen was no longer suitable for her, she would go to Zhengyangmen, Xuanwumen, Chongwenmen, etc. The inner city of the Forty-nine City has nine gates!
The platform customer service had warned her that because she had exchanged a large number of Ming-style city wall bricks for the platform, the city wall bricks there had depreciated. From now on, the value of a brick had been reduced from five points to three points.
These antique city wall bricks were like picking them up for free, it just took her more time and energy to collect them. Even if it was just one point, it didn't matter. She still mainly exchanged for city wall bricks every day!
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, she had been running outside all day and returned to the compound of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang with tired feet.
As soon as I turned around the screen wall, I saw the neighbors in the compound, talking about something in groups of three or four, and they all came to the front yard with stools. Was this the rhythm of a general meeting of the whole compound?
When she passed by a few aunts and grandmas, she heard them whispering.
"This idiot Zhu is too crazy! He even wants to steal chickens from the neighbor's house in the compound."
"Who doesn't know that he and Xu Damao were sworn enemies when they were young? He is seeking revenge against Xu Damao."
"I think this is not a simple matter. How can a cook like him be greedy for a chicken? I think there is something else going on."
"That's right! Who among the neighbors in the compound doesn't know what Sha Zhu is planning now? I think Aunt Wang is right!"
"...!"
Huaihua was shocked! She was so busy recently that she had completely forgotten about this matter. From today on, this drama finally began.
She quickly walked to the west wing of the central courtyard and pushed the door open. The whole family was sitting around the dinner table, and Jia Zhang was instructing Banggeng and Xiaodang.
"Wait, after you two have dinner, no one of you is allowed to go out. Do you hear me? Banggeng is doing his homework in the back room!"
Huaihua pushed the door open and walked into the house, scaring everyone in the house.
"You want to die! You walk without making any sound." Jia Zhang patted her chest and yelled at her.
Huaihua sneered in her heart. If you don't do anything wrong on weekdays, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. What are you feeling guilty about?
She looked at the table and saw that Banggeng, who usually died of starvation, had not touched a single mouthful of the porridge in front of him. Even Xiaodang's bowl was full. Did the two of them steal an old hen this time?
Qin Huairu saw her standing on tiptoe and looking at the dining table, and thought that she had not eaten dinner today, so she asked her casually.
"You came back without having dinner today?"
"I ate it! I ate it at the old lady's house at the entrance of the alley." Huaihua made up a lie.
I can't say I ate at Aunt Lou's house today! Now that an old hen is missing from her house, it must be that many people have been there. I can tell at a glance whether I am at her house or not.
"You are just a little beggar! You are destined to be a burden to the Jia family. We don't have a granddaughter like you." Jia Zhang yelled at her.
"Do you think I care about your family?" Huaihua muttered in a voice that no one else could hear.
"Okay, the whole school meeting will be held soon. Do you want to go today or should I go?" Qin Huairu stood up and began to clear the dishes on the table.
"We'll go together this time! I'm afraid that idiot Shuan won't be able to keep his mouth shut. If he does, we can help him cover it up."
Jia Zhang thought about it and realized that this was related to the vital interests of the Jia family. She decided that today the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would work together to put pressure on Sha Zhu and make him take responsibility for stealing the chicken.
If the truth is revealed, her grandson's reputation will be affected. Her grandson is so well-behaved, smart and sensible, he can't be dragged down by his reputation.
As for Sha Zhu? He already had a bad reputation, and he couldn't find a wife. He had one more bad reputation on his body, and he was not afraid of the lice on his body!
