  182 Safety measures

Holding the flashlight at this moment, Zhao Zhitong rushed over, yelling, raised his little foot, groaned, and stepped on the thief's calf: "Hmph, I'll wash (death) you if I told you to steal things from my house. "

  Wang Mazi and Zhao Laosi didn't react at all, and they were beaten severely by someone wearing a sack. They would have no power to fight back, and could only lie on the ground and keep shouting for mercy.

   After the beating was almost over, Zhao Dong called Sun Mei, took the hemp rope over, and directly tied the two together.

  At this moment, the two of them only begged for mercy.

  Wang Mazi burst into tears, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I don't dare again, please forgive me."

  Of course, the two lines of tears on the face were not from regret, but from pain.

  The fourth brother Zhao was inflexible and anxious, so he kept me, me, me, me for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

  It was late at night, Zhao Dong didn't bother to listen to their begging for mercy, so he directly dragged them to the woodshed, planning to lock them in the woodshed first, and take them directly to the county government office tomorrow.

  When they heard that they were going to be sent to the county government, the two of them were so frightened that their souls flew away, screaming and begging for mercy.

  At this time, because Zhao Zhitong was afraid of disturbing the people by their roaring at night, he thoughtfully ran over to Zhao Dong with two pairs of smelly socks.

   "Daddy, bet on them all, their voices are so ugly."

  Looking at Zhao Zhitong who was pinching his nose and holding up two pairs of stinky socks, Zhao Dong couldn't help pinching his nose: "..." Where did this girl get such stinky socks?

   Then he turned around and bet on the two of them.

  Finally, the door of the firewood room was locked, and the family went to sleep in peace.

  Early the next morning, Zhao Dong dragged Wang Mazi and Zhao Laosi, who were tied up, to the yamen of the county government.

  The County Magistrate Li, because of Liang Wang Pei Yuanqing's relationship, was very polite to Zhao Dong. After listening to his narration, he immediately pulled the two culprits down and beat them for 20 boards, and then put them in the prison.

  After the thieves were dealt with, Zhao Dong didn't stay any longer, and went back home directly.

  …

  After this incident, the news about Zhao Dong's family recruiting a thief also spread throughout the village at the speed of a gust of wind.

   Within half a day, basically every household knew that Zhao Dong's family recruited thieves last night.

   "God, is it true? Did you really hire a thief?"

   "That's not true. This morning I saw Brother Dong dragging the tied thief to the county government office!"

   "Wow, I will send it to the Yamen directly!"

"Then no, these two thieves are also unlucky. I heard that just after jumping into the courtyard, Zhao Dong put a sack on them. It was a mess. The two thieves who beat up were crying for their father and mother." .”

"Haha, if you ask me, these two thieves deserve what they deserve. You said it's not good for them to offend anyone, but they went to offend Zhao Dong's family. No one in the village knows that Zhao Dong even won the lawsuit against the landlord Qin. The county magistrate even went to Zhao Dong’s housewarming banquet in person, and it’s not good for them to steal someone’s house, but they even stole from Zhao Dong’s house, the county magistrate will not let them off lightly.”

  …

  At this time, at the head of the village, at the end of the village, and beside the well in the village, as long as there are villagers gathering, they are all talking about Zhao Dong's family recruiting thieves.

   Now, many people in the village and outside the village know about it.

  Those who also had a crooked mind became a bit scruples, and some were timid, so they stopped their thoughts directly.

  However, after this theft incident, Zhao Dong also focused on the safety of his home. No matter how high the courtyard wall is, hidden dangers still exist.

  So, after returning from the yamen that day, I immediately found two short-term laborers in the village, and covered the tops of the four walls with a thick layer of mud, and then filled them with sharpened bamboo pieces.

  If someone still wants to climb over the wall, they will have to be stabbed all over by the sharp bamboo slices.

   As far as Zhao Dong is concerned, it would be better to insert pieces of broken glass, but there is no such thing as glass in this era.

  The courtyard wall was solved, and then, the door bolts of all their rooms were improved.

  According to their previous lives, they often watched TV dramas in which bad guys would insert a knife into the crack of the door and remove the door bolt bit by bit, which is really unsafe.

  Thus, Zhao Dong punched a small hole in all the doors, and then punched a hole in the nose of the corresponding door.

  In this way, after the door bolt is installed, iron nails are inserted into the holes of the door nose and the door bolt at the same time, so that the door bolt can be fixed on the door.

  Even if someone outside sticks a knife in through the gap in the door, the door bolt cannot be removed.

  After all this work was done, it was almost dark, Zhao Dong checked the wall of the backyard again, and after making sure that there were no other safety hazards, he ate and slept.

  —

  After Laba, the pace of the New Year seems to be a little faster.

"Candy melon sacrifices to the stove, and the New Year is here. The girl wants flowers, the boy wants guns. The old man wants a new felt hat, and the old lady wants a new padded jacket." With the cheerful folk songs of children on the street, the atmosphere of the New Year is getting more and more intense. Rich.

  The countdown to the new year has begun, and every household begins to prepare for the arrival of the new year according to the customs left by their ancestors.

  The Zhao family has also entered the busy atmosphere of the New Year.

  The twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, people here call this festival a sacrifice to the stove, that is, to use sugar melons to worship the stove god.

One way of saying is that Master Stove will go to Heaven to report the family's merits and demerits for a year. In order to make Master Stove say more good things, he will be given sweet stove candies. Well said for them.

   There is also a saying that Tanggua is very sticky to the teeth. After eating sugar, the kitchen **** sticks his teeth and cannot open his mouth, so he cannot sue the Jade Emperor.

  No matter what it is said, the children love this day, because they can eat sweet melons on this day.

  When it comes to the 24th, you have to dust and sweep the house. Because "dust" and "Chen" are homophonic, sweeping dust in the New Year has the meaning of "removing old and bringing forth new", and its intention is to sweep out all bad luck and bad luck. This custom is entrusted with the hope that people desire to destroy the old and establish the new, as well as the prayer to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

  Although they were just porridge Angzi, but on this day, everyone in the family was dispatched, even a few children, holding brooms and sackcloths, were extremely busy.

  Although they did not do well, Sun Mei would not stop them, on the contrary, she would praise them with a smile. When children take the initiative to help their parents with housework, remember not to use negative remarks to the children, for example, what are you doing, stop doing it, go and stay.

   After such a long time, a rebellious child has been cultivated.

   When it was the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, their house started cooking oil. Sun Mei fried tofu slices, tofu balls, radish balls, and crispy fish. The smell made the children next door cry.

   When it was twenty-six, Sun Mei had a pot of mutton soup; on the twenty-seventh, she killed the big rooster bought at home.

   On the twenty-eighth day, Sun Mei made a pot full of noodles; on the twenty-ninth day, he steamed two pots full of steamed buns, and Sun Mei also made beautiful jujube flower buns, which were used for worship during the Chinese New Year.

  After several days of busy preparations, finally, the New Year’s Eve is here!
