Chapter 50, solving the case and moving Mentougou on the outskirts of Beijing, Miaofengshan Second Production Team, Majiafen Village.
Neighbors have gathered around Lao Chen's house, pointing at Chen Jiazhen's family and talking about it.
Last night, the police above took Chen Jiazhen's family back.
This morning, the neighbors don’t know whether the police solved the case or not.
But Chen Jiazhen and his son and daughter-in-law knelt at the door of his eldest brother's house, begging the four brothers and sisters of Chen Guohua to show their support.
Obviously, the police must have solved the case.
Otherwise, Chen Jiazhen wouldn't have knelt down so directly.
Chen Guohua, who had already packed half of his luggage, asked his sisters to continue packing while he walked out.
There was quite a lot of movement outside.
It didn't snow last night, but it was early February and the temperatures were freezing.
It's still cloudy today and there's no sun at all.
Chen Guohua frowned when he saw Chen Jiazhen and others kneeling at the door.
Before he could speak, the crowd of onlookers automatically moved out of the way, and several police officers, Cai Yufen and others walked in.
One of the police comrades said solemnly to Chen Guohua: "Comrade Chen Guohua, regarding the case of your family's money being stolen, we have interrogated it all night."
The truth came out.
The compensation of 1000 and [-] yuan was stolen by Liu Cuixiang.
With so much money stolen, a peanut is unavoidable. The nature is too bad.
So it is understandable that Chen Jiazhen and his family were kneeling in front of their home.
The three sisters Chen Xiaoyue in the house burst into tears of joy when they saw the lost money.
The three sisters suddenly hated the vicious second aunt.
If it weren't for the help of the police, the money would really be gone.
Chen Guohua took the money and thanked the policeman profusely, with a grateful expression on his face.
This is a lot of money, and it is also one of the guarantees for the future of the four brothers and sisters.
Counting Lao Chen's previous savings and the 850 yuan from selling his job, the family's savings now exceed 2000 and two hundred yuan.
But all this money was obtained in exchange for Lao Chen's life.
Therefore, it is not easy to spend it casually.
After the police explained the situation clearly, they left.
During this period, Chen Jiazhen and his family also wanted the police to show mercy.
But the police refused: How is this possible? The law is merciless!
What's more, this is 1000 or two hundred yuan. This is the pension compensated by the mine to Lao Chen.
Majiafen, even the entire Miaofengshan Second Production Team, and the entire Mentougou area knew about this.
The impact is so bad that even a peanut may not be able to be washed clean.
Watching the police officers leave, Chen Jiazhen and the others had no choice but to kowtow to Chen Guohua and admit their mistake.
But the latter didn't even bother to look at them, let alone say a word.
Cai Yufen and others did not leave. Seeing that the four brothers and sisters Chen Guohua had started to pack their luggage, they couldn't help but step forward and said: "Guohua, if you move to the city, what will you do with these three tile-roofed houses?"
"That's it for the time being. When I have some free time during the holidays, I'll come back and check it out."
Chen Guohua smiled and said.
He really hasn't figured out what to do with these three rooms yet.
This was a house allocated from the landlord during the period before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The house is very nice, and there is a thatched house next to it, with a lot of firewood piled inside.
The four brothers and sisters Chen Guohua went to the mountains to carry firewood back before winter.
In the city, you have to buy firewood during the winter, while in the countryside you have to cut firewood yourself. This is the difference.
Currently, these three houses are definitely not for sale.
Not only because Chen Xiaoyue and the others are reluctant to part with it, but also because this house will most likely not be is a rural area and the houses are worthless.
The second is the owner of this house. Lao Chen died not long ago due to a mining accident.
Which brave person dares to ask for a house like this?
Don't say yes, even if you get close to this house, you have to consider whether it will bring bad luck.
Finally, it’s hard to say anything about the policy, so let’s leave it at that for now.
Hearing what Chen Guohua said, Cai Yufen nodded and stood nearby chatting.
She was not just sitting around with nothing to do, but she was worried that Chen Jiazhen and the others would not be able to think about it.
So I waited aside and asked Chen Guohua more about things in the city, such as his job and so on.
The neighbors on the edge, even though the weather was cold, could not resist gossip and continued to watch.
Maybe some kid couldn't bear the cold and ran away first.
But soon, he ran back again.
It might be warmer when we go back inside, but it's boring, so we might as well watch the fun outside.
The four brothers and sisters Chen Guohua quickly packed their luggage.
In fact, there are not many things to pack, that is, quilts, clothes, pots and pans, etc.
The rest are Chen Guohua's books.
As for the firewood in the thatched house, no one wants it.
However, it is still good to move some to the city and burn them occasionally.
For this move, we must have borrowed the production team's oxcart to help with the luggage.
In the 50s, this was the only way to move.
Around eight o'clock in the morning, all the luggage had been moved to the bullock cart.
There are also five bundles of fine firewood, which are also tied together on the ox cart.
"Uncle, please excuse me. Let me tell you the address again."
In front of the bullock cart, Chen Guohua smiled and handed over a note and warned: "The address is No. 98, Nanluogu Lane, Dongcheng City. After you leave Mentougou, go straight along Fucheng Road."
When the old man heard this, he nodded to show that he understood.
I saw that the other party had collected the note with a detailed address on it. If I really couldn’t find it, I could just ask someone for directions.
In fact, the old man has been to the capital many times, but not very often. It is normal to not know the way.
Therefore, Chen Guohua would go out of his way and warn him several times.
Watching the oxcart drive away slowly, Chen Guohua took his three sisters, said goodbye to Cai Yufen and others, and embarked on the road back to the city.
With the departure of the Chen brothers and sisters, the neighbors were in mourning.
The old Chen family and the Chen Jiazhen family were originally brothers. In just over a month, things have changed.
Chen Jiazhen's family is a typical example of losing his wife and losing his troops, resulting in heavy losses.
"From now on, study hard and move to the city like Chen Guohua."
Neighbors do not forget to educate their children.
On the side of the road, the four brothers and sisters Chen Guohua got on the bus and bought their tickets amidst the excitement of the three sisters.
Within a few stops after getting on the bus, the bus was quickly filled with people.
"Brother, this ticket is so expensive."
On the seat, Chen Xiaoyue whispered, and the two younger sisters nodded.
"Forget it, don't think so much, stand firm and don't fall down later."
Chen Guohua laughed, but they proudly said that they could stand firmly.
In the pleasant atmosphere, there were more and more people in the bus.
After being crowded for a while, on Fucheng Road, someone suddenly shouted: "My money has been stolen, catch the thief!"
