C10 He Stole Apples

Mao Xiaojun calmed himself down and eavesdropped for a while. Then, the lights in the room were turned off. There was no more movement.

It seemed that Zhang Tiehniu and Miao Xuemei had gone to bed.

He originally wanted to freeload on dinner, but now it seemed like he would not be able to freeload on dinner. However, he was really hungry. He had to find something to eat first.

Right, didn't Zhang Tiehniu Family have three apple trees? The apples were almost ripe by now. It seemed like he could only pick a few apples to fill his stomach first.

Mao Xiaojun touched the darkness and found the three big apple trees near the Zhang Tiehniu Family. He could smell the fragrance of the apples from afar.

Because he was so hungry, he immediately ran to the apple trees and grabbed the big apples to eat. In just a few minutes, he had eaten more than ten big apples. Only then did his stomach feel better.

After coming down from the apple tree, Mao Xiaojun sat down on the ground and leaned against the apple tree to take a breath.

He remembered what Zhang Tiehniu and Miao Xuemei had said just now. In a few days, the two of them would definitely go to Peach Blossom Village to find him. Should he hide or what?

Mao Xiaojun could not make up his mind. Right, didn't Zhang Tiehniu say that the county would allocate three thousand yuan to his family to help him out of poverty? This year, there was another election for the village committee. In order to protect their own position, the village leaders would definitely pay special attention to their family.

His family was the key target of poverty alleviation. The village secretary and the village chief would definitely not dare to offend him.

Thinking of this, Mao Xiaojun decided to go back and get the three thousand yuan first.

He still had lingering fears about the matter of listening to the wall at Hua Qigang's house last night. It was clearly inappropriate to go back in the dark like this. If he wanted to go back, he would have to wait for the afternoon or evening.

After making up his mind, Mao Xiaojun plucked a few dozen apples from the tree, took off his shirt, and wrapped it up before heading towards Peach Blossom Mountain.

Regarding the matter of the stolen apples, a few years later, Mao Xiaojun recalled the scene back then. On one hand, it was because he hated Zhang Tiehniu and his wife for plotting against him. On the other hand, he was really hungry. He felt like he was going to faint from hunger. Human survival instincts urged him to fill his stomach first.

A few years later, when his business grew bigger and he became wealthy, the Zhang Tiehniu Family would coincidentally suffer a catastrophe. He resolutely lent a helping hand, saving the Zhang Tiehniu Family from the destruction of their family. It was also a way to repay the kindness of Apple for its hunger.

The next morning, Miao Xuemei went to her own farm to pick vegetables. Suddenly, she discovered that many apples had been plucked from the three big apple trees of her family. There were still leftover apples everywhere under the tree. She was extremely angry in her heart. She immediately started cursing.

"Which shameless scoundrel stole an apple and came to your mother's house? I curse your family's ancestral grave to have smoke rising from it, and your entire family will die a horrible death."

Last night, her husband Zhang Tiehniu told her that the wife next door scolded her behind her back. Initially, she was still full of anger, but after encountering such a wicked thing in the morning, Miao Xuemei simply treated it as a shrew. No matter how ugly it was, she would scold it.

Zhang Tiehniu, who was in the room, heard his wife's scolding and quickly ran out. When he came to his own apple tree, he was also dumbfounded.

"Damn it, what kind of wicked guy is this? If I catch him, I will definitely break his legs!"

The three apple trees in Zhang Tiehniu Family were big and sweet. Every year, they could make a lot of money by relying on these few apple trees. They did not expect that they would be so unlucky. In one night, they let people eat and steal most of the apples from the trees.

At this moment, Mao Xiaojun was hiding under the cliff and sleeping. When he woke up, he took out a big apple from his shirt and ate it.

"I didn't expect the apples from Zhang Tiehniu Family to be so sweet. I'll steal some more from him some other day."

After eating the two apples, Mao Xiaojun stood up and stretched his body. He looked at the glaring light above his head. The sun had risen. It was almost nine o'clock in the morning.

Under the strong light outside, he felt that something was wrong with his body. The pants he was wearing were shorter than before. Looking at his bare upper body, it seemed that his flesh was much sturdier than before.

Did he grow taller overnight?

Just as he was feeling puzzled, he suddenly heard the footsteps of people walking on the mountain.

"Hey, why are you so unlucky? You have to go back to the construction site after finishing your work early in the morning. Damn that bastard. He came to my house to listen to the wall in the middle of the night. "

On top of the hill, Hua Qigang walked to the side of the big peach tree where the thief fell last night. He looked down at the cliff, sighed, and turned around to leave.

Although Hua Qigang's voice was very soft, it was still heard by Mao Xiaojun, who had sensitive ears.

Ever since he fell down the hill, Mao Xiaojun found that not only had his body become stronger, but his ears and eyes had also become better than before.

Mao Xiaojun thought that Hua Qigang must have thought that someone had died last night, so he quickly ran back to the construction site.

He was too lazy to care about this matter. When the sun was not too hot, he directly went back to the village to get the three thousand yuan subsidy.
