Chapter 198
It was eight o'clock in the evening when I came back from dinner at Wang's house.

Meng Tao walked under the wall on the right, stretched out his hand to gesture, and Shen Yu asked, "What are you doing?"

"Master Wang will come back tomorrow to buy materials to increase the height of the fence, and Zhong Xiaomei will not be able to climb up in the future, but Aunt Wang said that Zhong Xiaomei stole several pots of flowers from Mr. Jia before, and ordinary flowers are fine. If it is a rare orchid or an antique flower pot, Wouldn't it be a pity? I don't know how to do light work, but I have strength, otherwise, I would climb over the wall and go to Zhong's house in the middle of the night to have a look?" Meng Tao said softly.

Shen Yu: "You will make noise, let me go."

"can you?"

Shen Yu gave her a pat on the head: "What is this kind of fence, it's okay if it's higher, I can still take you there."

"Okay."

The two went back to the house and sat down and drank tea for a while, boiled hot water for a bath, Xiao Wangcai didn't eat other people's food, Meng Tao took out a piece of ham to cook for Xiao Wangcai, Shen Yu said he was hungry too, Aunt Wang The food cooked was strong and too salty, so he didn't eat much just drinking and talking with Master Wang.

Meng Tao caught a crucian carp from the lotus tank in the space, made a pot of fish porridge, served with some side dishes, and the family of three had a full meal.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Shen Yu climbed over the fence and went to Zhong's courtyard, and soon came back to bring Meng Tao up.

Meng Tao stood on the top of the wall and watched, with a deep feeling in her heart: Zhong Xiaomei didn't need to climb a ladder when she came up to pick flowers and spy on other people's yards. The Zhong family directly built a two-meter-wide wooden shelf on this side of the wall. It's solid and stable, probably just for Zhong Xiaomei to play with. There are bamboo chairs, deck chairs and small tables, and a row of more than a dozen flower pots are placed beside it.

Meng Tao and Shen Yu looked at these flowerpots, none of them were orchids, and there were no old flowerpots either.

There are five pots of roses, camellias, and peonies, which obviously belong to Mr. Jia. They have been disabled by Zhong Xiaomei, and they are about to become wild flowers. What Zhong Xiaomei planted by herself was also neglected to take care of it, and it was half dead.She claims to be a flower lover, but she doesn't want to take care of the flowers. She just hopes that the flowers in the yard over there will bloom so that she can enjoy the flowers and pick them. No wonder she has to raise the fence.

Shen Yu got off the shelf to take a look around, there were no other plants in Zhong's yard except the flowers and plants on the wooden shelf.

The two went back with confidence.

The precious bluegrass raised by Mr. Jia, as well as the old flower pots he kept for many years, are now in Meng Tao's hands and cannot be lost.

The Jia family's nephews still don't know the value of these things. After a few years, they will realize that they may come back to pester them. Meng Tao is not afraid of them making trouble, they don't take advantage of it and are not protected by the law, but it is always a trouble, and There are no permanent residents here, and most of the time of the year is empty, in order to prevent theft, Meng Tao discussed with Shen Yu and decided to gradually transport away the valuable flowers in batches.

The next day, Uncle Wang and Wang Jiancheng brought back the materials, and the other two sons of the Wang family also came to help. Shen Yu worked with them, trying to finish the fence within one day, and he had to go back to the provincial capital tomorrow.

When the men were busy, Meng Tao went to the street by himself to buy some meat and vegetables to entertain Wang's father and son. By the way, he went to the post office and called Ma Fengnian. This time Ma Fengnian received the call and told Meng Tao: New tea leaves It has been prepared, and a lot of other local products and medicinal materials have been collected. In three days, he will drive to Mengzhou City and deliver the goods.

Meng Tao specially came here to wait for this batch of goods, so that Ma Fengnian could buy more, including local products and medicinal materials, and there is no need to worry about selling special-grade and first-class tea, just bring as much as possible.

Carrying big bags and small bags back to Xingzi Lane, he found a group of women surrounded by the gate of his house, Aunt Wang stood among them with disheveled hair, swearing at the street with her waist in her hands, Meng Tao hurriedly asked what happened?
Aunt Wang snorted and told her: "Zhong Xiaomei came to your house again to make trouble, crying and crying like someone bullied her. She was not allowed to raise the fence, and she also scratched my Jiancheng, and let Jiancheng drag it out of the house. Mrs. Zhong came running with a broom Fighting Jiancheng, my mother is here, how can I let my son suffer? I had a fight with them, and kicked the woman and her daughter back—the mother and daughter are really shameless!"

Meng Tao was amused: I never thought that Aunt Wang would be so tough.

Now the whole alley knows that the new owner of Courtyard No. [-] raised the fence to prevent neighbor Zhong Xiaomei from stealing flowers.

Courtyard No. [-] became famous because of this, Meng Tao felt that the flowers in this courtyard would be more eye-catching, and it seemed that they really had to be removed as soon as possible.

In the evening, the fence was completed, heightened and reinforced, and sharp glass shards were inserted on it. Not to mention Zhong Xiaomei, even thieves and thieves would not dare to walk this wall.

In the evening, the father and son of the Wang family had dinner at Meng Tao's house, and when they got home, they went back to their rooms to rest. Uncle Wang was lying on the bamboo recliner, hiccupping and humming a little song. Aunt Wang brought him a glass of boiling water and said, :

"How much did you drink? It's okay for Xiao Shen to come to our house to drink and eat. You went to his house and got drunk. What do you say?"

Uncle Wang smacked his lips and said, "Miss Xiaomeng's food is delicious, and the wine is also delicious. Your three sons are like reincarnated ghosts. If I didn't suppress them, they would all be drunk gone."

"Xiao Meng is smart and capable at first glance. It's not surprising that he can cook. Then you and Xiao Shen drank too much tonight?"

"Xiao Shen...uh, don't call me Xiao Shen from now on, just call him Comrade Shen."

"What's wrong with being called Xiao Shen? He's young, so he can be my son."

"Hehe! Your son, a young boy like Wang Jiancheng is your son. Comrade Shen...he is not an ordinary person!"

"Don't you just say, the last time I saw his grandfather and grandma getting out of the car, were they big cadres? His grandfather was a big cadre, but Xiao Shen wasn't."

"How do you know he isn't?"

"Xiao Meng told me that he is a physical education teacher."

"That is also a physical education teacher in the provincial capital. Comrade Shen looks capable, and he will definitely be the principal in the future."

"What does this have to do with us?"

"It doesn't matter... Sigh, you have long hair and short knowledge. I don't understand if I tell you. Just remember that we are good neighbors. If there is nothing to do, we will help the young couple to check the door and listen to the movement in the yard over there." , they don’t come to live often, so they have to guard against petty theft.”

"Know, know."

Early the next morning, Meng Tao sent Shen Yu away, feeling empty and uncomfortable, so he locked the door and took Xiao Wangcai out to play, but he was familiar with several streets in Mengzhou City, and there was nothing attractive in the black market. Tao thought that Zhang Fu had done a good job in various waste dumps during this time, and also planned to find a waste recycling station in Mengzhou.

After walking around for a long time, I found the waste station, but I couldn’t get in, and finally returned disappointed: Mengzhou Waste Recycling Station is well managed and looks like a decent unit. There are two rows of warehouses in one yard, and each warehouse is hung with a large Lock, there are three people working, the old man who looks after the gate, the young man who organizes and carries things, and a girl who is responsible for issuing bills, with a clear division of labor and mutual supervision. It is impossible to enter this place privately to search for treasures.

Zhang Fu was lucky. He said on the phone that during the Spring Festival, he searched for five or six scrap yards. Meng Tao was very curious about what treasures he found.
