Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

As soon as we entered the central courtyard, we saw a crowd of people gathered together under the dim light.

The courtyard that should have been extremely quiet was now bustling with activity, with adults discussing matters and children playing nearby.

Wang Weidong and Shazhu squeezed into the crowd and placed an Eight Immortals table and three long benches in the middle.

The first uncle sat in the middle, with the second uncle and the third uncle on both sides.

They all had white enamel teacups placed in front of them. Under the gaze of everyone, they looked solemn and gloomy, a bit like the aura of the patriarch of a large ancient family.

Xu Damao stood next to him. The corners of his mouth were trembling a little and he looked very excited.

Behind him stood Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu, and several elders and aunts.

Before Wang Weidong could ask, he saw Xu Damao stamping his feet and shouting at the top of his lungs: "Who is so wicked! Come and judge! I finally raised two hens for laying eggs. This time

One of them was lost in the blink of an eye. Our yard is so big, can the hen still fly?"

It seems to be the same as the original work. Xu Damao lost an old hen in his family and couldn't find it for a long time. So he got angry and deliberately quarreled everyone and asked the three uncles to seek justice.

It was indeed a famous scene, with the good guy stealing the chicken and the stupid guy taking the blame.

But Si Zhu didn’t bring back the braised chicken. I wonder why he took the blame!

Wang Weidong quietly stood aside and enjoyed this wonderful performance.

After listening to Xu Damao's words, the crowd was also whispering:

"We haven't lost anything in our courtyard house for many years."

"That's right, that's right. Besides, what I lost this time is an old hen that can lay eggs. It's very valuable."

"The thief must be caught today, otherwise I will have trouble sleeping at night."

...

Soon, when everyone arrived, the three stewards patted the table and the meeting began.

The conference was presided over by the most senior senior official, but the second senior official, who was an official and a fan, tried to speak first, and after a long speech, "it seemed like everything had been said, but it seemed like nothing had been said."

"Now I would like to ask you to speak."

The elder just waited for the opportunity to speak.

The old man stood up, looked serious, and began to speak.

"A big event happened in our hospital today. Xu Damao's family lost a chicken. Think about it, our hospital has not lost a single needle or thread for more than ten years. Now a living old hen is locked in a cage.

It will be lost. And there are no outsiders in the compound during the day. What does this mean? It means there is a traitor in our compound!"

A "thief" made everyone watching immediately realize the seriousness of the problem.

Just as the uncle said, the security of the compound is indeed good. Of course, the main reason is that everyone is very poor and there is nothing worth worrying about outsiders.

If there is no external thief, but there is an internal thief, wouldn't it be impossible to even sleep in the future?

A poor family is worth a thousand dollars. Even a piece of thread is useful and cannot be stolen.

Everyone felt that this chicken thief must be found.

When Xu Damao heard everyone responding to his call, he immediately found Si Zhu in the crowd and said pointedly: "Actually, I already have a suspect. That person can cook and often helps other people's wives. He must be the one who did it."

of."

After hearing Xu Damao's words, everyone in the hospital turned their eyes to Silly Zhu.

Silly Zhu was standing next to Wang Weidong watching a good show. When he found out that he had become the protagonist, he became furious.

"Damn it, it's all up to you to see what I do. I just came back from the factory with Wang Weidong, and we haven't even returned home yet. If you don't believe me, ask Wang Weidong."

Silly Zhu was naturally unwilling to take the blame for this inexplicable fall from the sky.

In this compound, he only wanted to take the blame for Qin Huairu.

Uh... now I have to add one more, my good friend Wang Weidong.

As expected, Xu Damao and Silly Zhu couldn't deal with them. They were thousands of miles away, but they still wanted to take the blame.

Wang Weidong suppressed his laughter and said: "He Yuzhu is telling the truth. We were delayed for a while in the factory and we just entered the compound not long ago."

After listening to Wang Weidong's words, everyone withdrew their questioning gaze.

Everyone still trusts Wang Weidong, a young man. After all, there are few people in this compound who are more upright than Wang Weidong.

"If it's not him, who else could it be?" When Xu Damao saw someone standing up to speak for Silly Zhu, he suddenly lost his confidence and muttered in a low voice.

The three stewards also looked at each other in confusion.

The big hen may have entered the belly of the chicken thief. Is it possible to say "chicken is in the belly, chicken is still chicken"? Can't a caesarean section be used to test the chicken?

Seeing that the three stewards were unable to do anything, Wang Weidong sighed in his heart. These three old men had been managing the courtyard for more than ten years, but their level was so low.

ridiculous.

Wang Weidong originally wanted to hide behind the scenes and be a bystander, but now he knows that he can't stand up anymore.

He walked up to the uncle and said with a smile: "Everyone knows that I am a truck driver. I often drive my truck without leaving home for several days in a row. If I cannot find this chicken thief, I will not be able to drive my truck for the factory with peace of mind."

Everyone nodded. It was indeed true that Wang Weidong was often away from home for several days in a row.

Wang Weidong continued: "Here, I have a small opinion."

"Weidong, just tell me quickly. Catching the thief is for the good of the compound. Anyone who dares to retaliate against you later will be kicked out of the compound." After hearing Wang Weidong's long talk, the first man finally finally

I understand, this guy is afraid of offending others.

Of course Wang Weidong was not afraid of offending anyone, but was afraid of arousing the Jia family's vigilance, so he found so many reasons.

Seeing that everyone had accepted his reason, he said slowly: "As far as I know, most people in our compound have to go to work during the day, and only some old ladies and some children are left. The old ladies are not very good at walking and walking.

It’s impossible to catch a chicken. Also, if you catch a chicken, you have to eat it, because the taste cannot be concealed from anyone.”

"So, I guess some kid was greedy and stole Xu Damao's hen, roasted it and ate it. Now I just need to find all the kids and I'll find out once I ask."

"Yes, that makes sense." After hearing this analysis, everyone nodded in agreement.

But the uncle stood up with a puzzled look on his face: "Weidong, what you said is very insightful, but the hen has been eaten by the children. What should we do if they don't admit it?"

"Don't admit it? Hehe." A cold light flashed in Wang Weidong's eyes, and he smiled: "It is not possible for a child to finish such a big hen, and when they eat the chicken, there must be something on their hands and mouths.

The smell of roasted chicken will remain.”

"That's right, my old hen weighs eight pounds and can lay two eggs every day." Xu Damao said loudly when he saw that there was hope of catching the chicken thief.

He was going to use the eggs laid by these two old hens to pursue a girl named Lou.

If you catch a chicken thief, you must pay him a basket of eggs.

Everyone also agreed with Wang Weidong’s statement:

"Yes, as long as you find all the children and smell the smell on your hands, you will know clearly."

"Good idea. Wang Weidong is not only a truck driver, he is also very knowledgeable."

"I think the most knowledgeable person in our compound is Wang Weidong."
