Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 43

Soon, it was the turn of the corn to be planted.Su Qinghe helped from front to back, Su Jingsen dug a hole with a hoe in front, Su Qinghe carried a basket to scatter seeds, and put two seeds in each hole.Mrs. Su Zhang was in charge of filling the soil and stepping on it by the way.

After working for several days, it was considered that all the seeds were planted.Su Jingsen was so happy that she would go around the field twice every day with a hoe on her back, wishing that all the seeds would germinate in one day.

But when she came back one day, Su Jingsen's complexion was not very good. Mrs. Su Zhang was picking up the soles of her shoes. When she saw Su Jingsen's black face, she became curious: "What's the matter? Did you quarrel with others outside?"

"Damn, what a bunch of rats! Everyone is going to die!" Su Jingsen sat down suddenly, and took a big mouthful of water from a porcelain bowl. Su Zhang was even more puzzled: "What happened? What happened? gone?"

"I don't know whose shameless bitch has planed our cornfield!" Su Jingsen said angrily, and Su Zhang was stunned before she realized: "What are you talking about?"

"I just went to the field to have a look, and found that the corn that I planted before was buried in a pit that was not quite right, and when I dug open two of them, the seeds inside were gone!" Su Jingsen said angrily: "A whole half of the land! Not a single corn seed to be found!"

Su Zhang's face turned pale with anger: "Damn it, who did this? Don't you know that destroying people's crops will be struck by lightning? It's too abominable, this matter must not be left alone! We have to find our house Those who work with corn will do! Go tell the elders, and let the elders decide for us!"

There are catchers in the county government, but they are basically in charge of the affairs of the county.In the town, the head of the household and the head of the elders are in charge of issues such as household registration and land deeds, while the head of the household is in charge of tax matters, and the head of the elders is in charge of public security.

"We have to find the person who digs our seeds first, otherwise, without evidence, the elders won't care about it." Su Jingsen frowned and said, after thinking for a while, she turned to Su Zhang and said, "You pack me a bed Well, tonight I will sleep on the ground to see if I can catch that evildoer, if we can, let's beat him up first!"

Mrs. Su Zhang also nodded: "We have to guard, otherwise, even if we tell the elders, there must be someone digging seeds in our field."

After saying that, he went to the back room to pack the bedding, and prepared to pull the ox cart to the bottom, unload the cart, and take the ox home again.When the time comes, Su Jingsen will stay in the field, and get out of the car from time to time to walk around the field twice.

Su Qinghe was listening to her parents discussing how to catch the thief, and she felt a little annoyed in her heart. Originally, she thought that when the corn was grown, she would sell it to people in her village at a low price in the future, so as to accumulate some popularity for the Su family.It's just that I didn't expect these people to be so impatient, and they had to do such indecent things in just one year.

"Father, how about this? They have dug that kind of seed once. Even if we found it, we can't get it anymore. If we want it, we can't grow it. Why don't we tell the elders that if we find someone next year The family has grown corn like ours, so let him pay us money!"

Su Qinghe was very sure that no one had corn seeds in the ten miles and eight towns, not to mention the entire Hongqiao County, even the entire Taiyuan County.And Mr. Shen's previous reply only said that someone had sent corn seeds to the south for experimentation.

Therefore, as long as corn appeared in Hongqiao County, the seeds definitely came from her house, or from Li Zheng's house.But in Lizheng's house, no one dared to offend, and it was absolutely impossible for the person who stole the seeds to steal into Lizheng's house.

Then, if you can grow corn, it is very likely that you only planed your own corn seeds.

It's not that she's being stingy and doesn't even give these seeds, but it depends on the time.Next year, she plans to give away seeds for free. Who can not give away to her seven aunts, eight aunts, uncles and uncles?
She just hates this kind of behavior of stealing if she can't get it, it's simply too hateful!Not to mention the damage to his own corn, it also delayed the half of the land.If my father didn't find out, wouldn't the family have to wait for the corn to grow before they found out that half of the land was seedless?

Moreover, if it wasn't discovered today, maybe it wouldn't be half-divided!
This kind of behavior of wasting land and harming crops is absolutely disgusting. She doesn't want to easily bypass these people, and then make people think that their Su family is easy to bully. In the future, what will their family want to grow? Fresh things, why don't you guard against others like you guard against thieves every day?

"We don't want too much, it depends on how much corn their family grows, and then we sell it at what price, estimate a price, and ask them to give us money." Su Qinghe pursed her lips, frowned and said: "Father, this matter It can be big or small, but to put it mildly, it’s because someone is jealous of our family and wants to dig up our family’s seeds and plant them back. It’s just a dispute between neighbors, and it’s not worth getting angry. After all, children sometimes play crazy, or If you are careless when herding cattle and sheep, and ruin the crops, you just mediate and pay a little copper coins."

"This is not a warning. I will definitely grow other things in the future. We can't always guard against thieves, can we?" Su Qinghe said with a blink of an eye, and Su Jingsen patted the table: "My daughter is right, that's the reason You can't easily bypass them! If there is one, there are two, there are three. They escaped easily this time, and they will definitely do this kind of thing again in the future. Therefore, this time they must be severely punished to serve as a warning effect."

Mrs. Su Zhang nodded again and again: "Well, what Xiao He said is right, we should do as Xiao He said, we have to let them pay the price we paid, so it means that they dug the seeds back and planted them for us for nothing. came out."

"Father, listen to me. It's useless for us to severely punish them for saying this here, and the elders have to speak up." Su Qinghe shook Su Jingsen's arm: "So father can't talk about it in a small way, Let’s talk big.”

"Speaking of growing up?" Su Jingsen was a little puzzled, and Su Qinghe nodded sharply: "Well, let's say that for the sake of our Liu Village, there are thieves in our village, who will dare to grow food in the future? After planting, they are not afraid of being stolen Let's go? Our Liu Village has always been a village of benevolence and righteousness, and everyone gets along very well. In the past, who had a headache, and whose family didn't want to go and have a look? Today I will eat a piece of food from your family, and tomorrow you will watch it for me Look at the children, everyone has always been like a family, if this kind of disaster happens, isn't it just a rat droppings that ruined a pot of porridge?"

Su Jingsen nodded while listening, Su Qinghe rolled her eyes, and scratched her head again: "Father, the general meaning is this, but how should I say it, let's ask the eldest brother and the second brother later, they are always studying, what do you say about being a gentleman?" , If they tell the elders this, maybe the elders will listen to them in their hearts."

Su Jingsen nodded again and again: "Yes, your brothers have been studying for a long time, and this matter can definitely be clarified. Girl, check the time and see if the school is about to end? This matter should be done earlier Say, I can watch for a day or two, but I can't keep looking at the ground."

"At the moment it's just stealing seeds. If the corn seedlings grow up in the future, they still want to dig the seedlings, it will be even more serious. After picking up Zhiping and Zhian, we will go to the elders and talk about this first. matter."

Su Jingsen hurriedly turned her head and asked, Su Zhang hurriedly went outside to look at the sun, then came back and said, "It's Shen Shi, you leave now, and when you arrive in town, school will be over."

"Well, I'll go pick them up first." Su Jingsen got up after speaking, went to the yard to untie the rope, and pulled the ox cart out, Su Qinghe also followed: "Father, I'll go too, later I want Discuss with the eldest brother and the second brother."

Su Jingsen nodded: "Then, go and put on an extra dress, get in the car quickly, and let's go right away."

When the father and son arrived in the town, it was just in time for school to leave. Su Qinghe stood at the entrance of the alley and looked around for a while, then saw Su Zhiping and Su Zhian coming out with their schoolbags.

"Father, little sister." The two walked over quickly, greeted each other, and got on the ox cart from behind.Su Zhiping asked with a smile: "Why is little sister here today? Don't you look at your cotton seedlings?"

"Our family's corn seeds were stolen." Su Qinghe twitched her lips and told the story. Su Jingsen added a few words while driving the car.After the two brothers heard it, they were filled with righteous indignation, wishing to catch the seed thief on the spot and chop him up.

"It's disgusting. A few days ago, those people always ran to our house, saying that they wanted some seeds. We didn't have enough seeds, and they insisted on asking for them. After finally sending them away, they turned out to be waiting here !" Su Zhian said angrily: "This kind of behavior must not be tolerated, we have to find a way to teach them a lesson!"

Su Zhiping nodded: "The lesson is certain, but we can't do it ourselves. Our family has been in Liucun for generations. If the relationship with the big guys becomes tense, we are fine. It’s not very acceptable. So, we have to find someone to take the lead in this matter.”

Su Qinghe twitched the corners of her mouth. Just by listening to the solutions of the two brothers, one could see the tempers of the two brothers.It's also fortunate that the two people have different temperaments and can complement each other a little bit. Otherwise, if one is too fiery and the other is too cunning, how would life be?

"What your mother and I mean is, let's tell the elders about this matter, Xiao He said, telling the elders is certain, but we have to find an explanation, we have to go to the Dali, the best is to rise to endanger the village, It even affects the reputation in the county, so the elders will take it seriously."

Su Jingsen added on the sidelines, Su Zhiping rubbed Su Qinghe's head: "Little sister is right, we have to tell the truth about this matter. Younger sister likes to toss rare seeds, this time, if you don't deal with it well, Xiao He will be in trouble in the future." There will be no peace in the land.”

Su Zhi'an also nodded, and got together with Su Zhiping to start researching. The two of them used their brains fully to figure out how to say this in front of the elder.The person who stole the seeds had to be punished, and the family had to be less fussy and ruin their reputation, and the elders had to think that this matter was for the sake of his reputation, the reputation of the whole village, and even the whole town.
