Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

Xiaodang ran away crying. In the past, Banggeng might have tried to comfort him.

But now he couldn't miss any movement, so he let Xiaodang run away.

After pressing the ants for a while and smelling the aroma of rice wafting around the yard, Banggeng felt even worse.

He was a little hungry.

Looking at the ants on the ground, Banggeng simply stood up.

Maybe because I squatted for too long, my legs are a little numb.

I stood up and took a long time to calm down.

Then he raised his foot and stomped on the ground hard for a while. Seeing that the ants were completely turned into debris, he felt relieved again.

When he looked up, Banggeng immediately widened his eyes to see Shazhu walking towards the cellar again.

It wasn't until Shazhu came out of the cellar with a piece of pork belly, a bunch of grapes, and other vegetables in his hand that Banggeng rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Where are the grapes in this season?

But in Shazhu's cellar, there were not only watermelons but also grapes. This seemed outrageous.

At the same time, he felt even more excited. As long as tonight passed, the things in the cellar would belong to him.

Then he would take these things to the black market and make a fortune.

Qin Huairu finished cooking and found that Banggeng was still standing there, feeling a little strange.

It's been so long, why is Banggeng still standing there?

What's so good about those ants?

"Bang Geng, come back quickly for dinner."

This sentence interrupted Banggeng's train of thought. Banggeng, who was already extremely hungry, didn't care about anything else at the moment. He sat down on the stool and directly picked up the steamed bun to eat.

"Why don't you wash your hands?"

"I'm hungry."

Banggeng explained as he stuffed the steamed bread into his mouth anxiously.

"If mom comes home late in the future, you can go find Auntie and ask her to give you something to eat. Do you hear me?"

Qin Huairu has made up her mind these days. Since the old lady and the old man have some intentions towards her, she naturally won't be polite to them.

Otherwise, she would have to work and raise two children alone, which would be too tiring.

What's more, she is pregnant now, so she might as well be lazy.

"understood."

Banggeng finished a steamed bun in just three or two bites, then picked up the soup on the table and poured it into his mouth.

“Soup hot...”

After Qin Huairu saw it, he just reminded her of two words, and then he saw that the stick had burned his mouth, and he said helplessly:

"The rice is freshly cooked, and the soup must be hot, why are you in such a hurry?

No one is snatching it from you, can't you just drink slowly?"

"That's too late."

"What's too late?

What are you going to do?

Qin Huairu spoke doubtfully, and his eyes were full of question marks when he looked at Banggeng.

"I......"

Bang Geng's heart skipped a beat, his mind raced, he quickly stood up, holding his crotch, and said anxiously:

"I need to pee, I can't hold it anymore."

After saying that, he ran out. Qin Huairu's mouth twitched when she saw him, but she still kindly reminded him:

'Run slowly and don't fall.'

Banggeng ran out of the door in one breath, looked around, and saw Brother Long's men waiting in a corner, so he hurried over.

"How's the situation inside?"

"Everyone is cooking and eating right now. If we want to wait for everyone to fall asleep, we will probably have to wait a while."

"We know this. You just stay in the yard and observe. Once you are sure that everyone in the yard is asleep, come back and report to us."

"okay, I get it."

Banggeng nodded, then walked back into the yard, completely unaware that an old lady was standing there in the dark, watching their little movements.

At this moment, she was finally determined in her thoughts. It seemed that Banggeng was going to cause trouble again.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

Everyone in the courtyard went to bed early after dinner. Even those who didn't sleep turned off the lights early to avoid wasting food.

Banggeng just sat at the door, not going anywhere, staring at Shazhu's house. Only when he saw Shazhu return to the house and turn off the lights did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Qin Huairu was sitting in the house sewing clothes. Seeing that Banggeng's behavior was quite unusual tonight, she became even more confused.

After finishing the clothes, Qin Huairu stood up and shouted:

"Bang Geng, it's time to go to bed."

"I'm not sleepy yet, you go to sleep first."

"Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Qin Huairu asked directly, and his eyes rolled around in shock:

"No, I just miss my dad a little bit."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu was silent for a while:

"It's getting late and the weather is getting colder. Go to bed soon and don't stay outside for too long. You'll get sick easily."

After saying this, Qin Huairu lay down on the bed to rest.

I was feeling quite confused at first, but soon I fell asleep.

Feeling that the time was about right, Banggeng walked out and took Brother Long and the others to the cellar.

"Brother Long, are we going to break the lock?"

"What are you smashing?!

With such a loud noise, aren't you afraid that others might hear it?!"

Brother Long said something in a bad mood, then took out a piece of wire from his arms, and while picking the lock in the moonlight, he said:

"I took a look at it during the day. This lock is one of the most common ones. It can be locked with a piece of wire."

The others stood aside, looking around nervously so that they could immediately notice any disturbance.

After a while, Brother Long had opened the lock. Banggeng stood there, looking at the opened lock, extremely shocked.

Such a big lock was opened by just a piece of wire?

If he also learns this technique in the future, wouldn't it be more convenient? !

"You two stay here to keep watch, and the rest of you come with me!"

Brother Long gave orders in a low voice, and then pulled Banggeng down with him.

When he saw that there were indeed many good things in the cellar, Brother Long no longer cared about the stick, waved his hand and said:

“Quickly install.”

Everyone started to move. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Bang Geng took out a sack from his arms and filled it with food, eating as he filled it.

No wonder the cellar has to be locked, there are so many things in there.

"Brother Long, watermelon, there really is watermelon!!!"

When one person saw the big round watermelon, he didn't care about anything else. He just broke it open with his fist, dug out the flesh with his hands and started eating.

"What are you eating?!

Get to work!"

Seeing that the man was only focused on eating, Brother Long patted him on the head in annoyance, then picked up the watermelon on the ground and started eating it.

He didn't want to eat it at first, but the sweet taste of the watermelon was too strong, and he couldn't control himself at all.

"Brother Long, there's no more room..."

"Let's go. We have been delayed for so long. There are so many things here. They will be enough for us to eat for a long time."

Brother Long threw down the melon rind in his hand and spoke quickly.

The large sacks they brought were already full. If they continued, someone might get up in the middle of the night and see them, and it would be a waste of time.
