Chapter 138 Dormitory Burglary
Tian Shao walked in and found that the yard was very spacious, about forty square meters in size, and there was a jujube tree near the wall on the left. Under the jujube tree, two small fields were opened up, on which various vegetables were planted. A small wooden shed was built in the corner near the gate on the right, and a stove was built inside.
People in this era have suffered a lot, so they are very hardworking and frugal. Tian Shao looked at the melons and fruits hanging in the vegetable field, and praised: "Grandma Shen, you grow this vegetable really well. The bitter melon leaves in my house are all yellow, but yours is still green."
Old lady Shen saw that her expression did not seem to be fake, and she also had a smile on her face: "I grew up like this relatively late, so I look pretty good."
The Shen family has a total of four rooms, and Mrs. Shen rented out the first room on the right. Tian Shao walked in and took a look and was very satisfied. The room is very spacious, the windows are facing the yard, and the windows are made of glass so as not to block the light. There are three kinds of old-fashioned furniture in the room, namely wardrobe, bed and desk bench.
Mother Li thought the environment was very good, so she asked Tian Shao softly: "Lingling, I think this place is very good, what do you think?"
The conditions are very good, and the only old lady in the family is not noisy, Tian Shao couldn't be more satisfied: "Grandma Shen, how much is your monthly rent for this house?"
Ms. Shen said: "The rent is three yuan a month, and my monthly utility bill is about four cents. In the future, it will be five cents. You will pay for the excess."
Tian Shao felt that the rent of three yuan was not expensive, so she agreed straight away: "Grandma Shen, I rented a house, and the stove will be used by me in the future, right?"
Ms. Shen pointed to the back of the main room and said, "You use the stove, I cook there, and don't interfere with each other."
Tian Shao thinks this is very good, but it is quite troublesome to eat with the old man. After all, the older one likes to eat light and soft things, while she likes to eat spicy and other stimulating foods.
Old Mrs. Shen was sure that she wanted to rent a house, and said: "Others pay one for one, and so do you."
Before Tian Shao could speak, Li's mother took out six yuan from her pocket and handed it to Mrs. Shen. Seeing that she didn't accept it, she explained: "This child was paid twenty yuan last month and bought some things for the family. I paid ten yuan in foreign debt, and sent two younger sisters to study, and I don’t have any money on hand. So I will advance the money for her first, and she will pay me back next month’s salary.”
Ms. Shen looked at Tian Shao with a changed look in her eyes: "You dare to come out to rent a house with a salary of 20 yuan?"
It's so useless, maybe I won't even be able to pay the rent in the future!
Tian Shao smiled and said: "I have become a regular this month, and my salary next month is 32 yuan, which is enough. Grandma Shen, the rent for two years is 72 yuan. If you go to school, it must be more than that money."
Ms. Shen's expression softened a lot, and she asked, "Are you so sure you can get a high school diploma?"
"Sure."
Mrs. Shen didn't take the money from Mother Li, and waved her hand: "You take this money back, and the rent will be paid to me after she pays her wages!"
Tian Shao felt that the old lady looked fierce, but she was actually quite a nice person. So, there are still more good people in the world.
The old lady is not in a hurry to ask for rent, firstly she is really a good person; secondly, Tianshao, a regular worker in a textile factory, will not rely on her rent, and she can't afford to lose face.
Today is Thursday. I will go home the day after tomorrow and tell my family about it, and then I will bring vegetables and firewood from home. Well, when the time comes, no matter whether her father or Erya brings her here, she won't have to take the bedding. Of course, by the way, recognize the door.
After renting the house, Tian Shao was taken by Li's mother to a state-run restaurant for dinner, and then went back to the factory. As soon as she entered the dormitory, she found that the atmosphere was not right. Gao Xiaofu's eyes were red and swollen, obviously she was crying.
Before she could ask, Tang Yuanyuan said, "Tian Shao, a thief broke into our dormitory, and all the drawers were pried away. Xiaofu's money and food tickets were stolen. Huang Xin's twenty yuan and ten The two catties of food stamps are gone, and I have rummaged through my things but I haven’t lost anything, so hurry up and see what you’re missing?”
Tian Shao was very calm, and said: "I put all my money and food in the office, and only pen, ink, paper and books here."
She works in the finance department, no matter how daring the thief is, it is impossible for the thief to go to her office to steal things. If you are caught, the crime will be serious.
Obviously Tian Shao was relieved too early, and the thief didn't know if he had a psychological problem and tore up a book of hers. This book was borrowed from Teacher Li last week, Tian Shao was so angry that his face turned blue: "Did you report it to the police?"
Tang Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "I didn't report the crime, but Mrs. Mao just called the security department."
Tian Shao forgot all of a sudden, the security department of the factory should investigate things like dormitory theft first, and if they still can’t find out, they will report the case and call the police.
After calming down, Tian Shao asked strangely: "There are people coming and going here, and no one saw the thief breaking the door?"
Tang Yuanyuan said with a bitter face: "The lock on the door of our dormitory is not broken. Just now, the people in the security department suspected that someone from our dormitory committed the crime. Tian Shao, I just told the people in the security department that you usually go to get off work at noon. Neither will come back."
Having lived in the dormitory for almost two months, Tian Shao will only return to the dormitory at noon if he has something to do. The main reason is that she can't sleep well in the dormitory, the sound insulation here is too bad, and someone will wake her up if she walks around, and the other three people in the dormitory will come back at any time. So Tian Shao changed his afternoon sleep to the office.
Chen Ping, the chief of the security department, quickly approached Tian Shao and asked her about her daily activities.
Tian Shao’s life is very simple: three-point line, office, cafeteria, and dormitory. She said: "I was in the office during the day today. After work, I went out with Aunt Yang. I went back to the office after lunch and didn't go back to the dormitory until after dinner. If you don't believe me, you can ask my colleague Zhao Accountant Meng Accountant and Aunt Yang checked."
Chen Ping believed in her, such a smart person would not do anything to ruin his future. But questioning is also a process, and this is indispensable: "Don't worry, I will go to Accountant Zhao and the others to check."
Tian Shao hummed and said: "Chief Chen, just now my roommate said that the thief opened the locked dormitory. I suspect that the other party stole our roommate's key and used it to match. This thief should be the same as the one in our dormitory. Good relationship with people."
It is important to know that outsiders are not allowed to enter the female workers' dormitory, and they must register if they have something to do. But Aunt Mao said that there were no outsiders yesterday morning, and she hadn't heard anyone in the dormitory say they lost their keys during this time, so the scope was greatly reduced.
Section Chief Chen glanced at Tian Shao unexpectedly. The girl reacted really quickly, but he was soon relieved thinking about what the other party had done during this time. He said, "Don't worry, we will definitely catch this thief."
It is really audacious to go to the female workers' dormitory to steal money and food. If he doesn't get caught, what face will he have as the head of the security department.
Tian Shao nodded and said: "I hope Section Chief Chen will find out the thief as soon as possible and let her pay for my book."
Alas, Teacher Li, who loves books like his life, will definitely scold her when she sees the books being torn. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a headache.
