Chapter 223 Stay awake
But safety issues cannot be ignored. After listening to this, everyone nodded in agreement and decided to pay more attention to food hygiene in the future to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
As time went by, the vegetables in the garden gradually matured, and the courtyard was filled with the joy of a good harvest. Wang Qiang looked at the green seedlings and felt extremely satisfied. He knew that this was not only a source of food, but also a symbol of hope and unity.
Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e brought the children to the vegetable garden. The children ran around excitedly, and their laughter echoed throughout the yard. Wang Qiang felt very relieved when he saw this scene. He knew that although life is full of challenges and difficulties, as long as everyone unites as one, they will surely create a better tomorrow.
In the evening, Wang Qiang sat in the yard, watching the sunset gradually set, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. He knew that the road ahead was still full of challenges, but he was confident that he could go on with everyone and welcome every new tomorrow. Qin Huairu came over and sat down beside him gently, "Brother Wang Qiang, looking at the changes in these days, I am really grateful to you. If it weren't for you, we really don't know what to do."
Wang Qiang looked at her with a smile, "Huai Ru, this is the result of our joint efforts. I just did what I should do. As long as we unite together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."
Qin Huairu nodded, with a determined light in her eyes, "Yes, we will definitely overcome the difficulties together and make Siheyuan even better."
As night fell, the courtyard looked particularly peaceful and warm under the starlight. Wang Qiang looked at everything in front of him, his heart filled with hope and strength. He knew that although the road ahead was full of challenges, as long as everyone united as one, they would be able to create a better tomorrow.
As time goes by, life in the courtyard is getting better and better. Under Wang Qiang's leadership, everyone has not only solved many practical problems, but also gradually formed an atmosphere of solidarity and mutual assistance. Wang Qiang feels very gratified when he sees these changes. He knows that although the road ahead is still full of challenges, as long as everyone unites as one, they will surely be able to welcome a better future.
One evening, Wang Qiang was walking in the yard when he heard a burst of cheerful laughter. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw children playing in the vegetable garden with happy smiles on their faces. Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e stood by, smiling at the children, their faces also full of joy.
Wang Qiang walked over and said to Qin Huairu with a smile: "Huairu, seeing the children so happy, I really feel satisfied."
Qin Huairu nodded, tears flashing in her eyes, "Yes, Brother Wang Qiang, if it weren't for you, we really don't know what to do."
Wang Qiang stood by the vegetable garden, admiring the green seedlings, feeling extremely satisfied. However, as time went by, he gradually discovered something strange. The seeds he had just sown a few days ago seemed to be much less, and some places in the vegetable garden had not sprouted, which made him a little suspicious.
One afternoon, Wang Qiang checked the garden again, carefully observing every corner. He wondered, was it the seeds? Or was it some other reason? He gently used his fingers to dig up the soil and carefully checked the places where the seeds had not sprouted. He found that there was no trace of seeds at all. This discovery surprised him, and his doubts suddenly turned into uneasiness.
"Where did these seeds go?" Wang Qiang muttered to himself, frowning.
At this moment, Qin Huairu came over, looked at his solemn expression, and asked with concern: "Brother Wang Qiang, what's wrong with you? Did you find any problems?"
Wang Qiang raised his head and looked at Qin Huairu, hesitating for a moment, "Huairu, I found that we seem to have planted fewer seeds. Some places in the vegetable garden have no seeds at all."
Qin Huairu was also shocked after hearing this, and quickly squatted down to check those places with Wang Qiang. She carefully looked at the soil and confirmed that there was no trace of seeds. She was also confused, "How is this possible? We clearly planted enough seeds, how come there are so many less?"
Wang Qiang shook his head and thought for a moment, "Could it be that someone deliberately stole these seeds? But what is the purpose of doing so?"
Qin Huairu frowned. "The people in our courtyard are all very kind. It's unlikely that someone in the courtyard did it. But if it was an outsider, why did they steal these seeds?"
Wang Qiang nodded. "It's really strange. No matter what, we have to figure this out, otherwise something similar might happen again in the future."
So Wang Qiang and Qin Huairu decided to keep watch near the vegetable garden to see if they could find some clues. At night, Wang Qiang took a flashlight and a few bottles of water and sat down with Qin Huairu in a secluded place by the vegetable garden. As the night deepened, the courtyard gradually became quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs in the distance breaking the tranquility of the night.
Wang Qiang and Qin Huairu sat together, waiting quietly. Time passed by, and the night breeze was cool, rustling the leaves. Qin Huairu was a little sleepy and yawned from time to time, but she still tried to stay awake.
"Brother Wang Qiang, do you think it might be that some small animals stole the seeds?" Qin Huairu asked softly.
Wang Qiang shook his head. "If it was a small animal, it should have left some traces. But I checked carefully and didn't find any traces of animals."
Just as the two were lost in thought, they suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from the other side of the vegetable garden. Wang Qiang's eyes fixed, and he gently signaled Qin Huairu to keep quiet. He picked up the flashlight and walked carefully in the direction of the sound. Qin Huairu followed closely behind him, her heart beating faster, for fear of alarming the other party.
The footsteps gradually became clearer, and Wang Qiang saw a thin figure squatting by the vegetable garden in the faint moonlight, seemingly flipping something. He took a deep breath, walked over quickly, and shone the flashlight beam directly on the man.
"What are you doing?" Wang Qiang shouted.
The man was obviously startled by the sudden beam of light. He stood up in a panic, but was tripped by a stone under his feet and fell heavily to the ground. Wang Qiang quickly stepped forward, grabbed the man's arm, and helped him up. With the help of the flashlight, he saw the man's face clearly. It was Xiaohao from the courtyard.
"Xiao Hao, why are you here? What are you doing?" Wang Qiang asked, with a hint of severity in his tone.
Xiao Hao lowered his head, not daring to look at Wang Qiang, and his voice trembled a little, "Uncle Wang Qiang, I... I just came to get some seeds."
Qin Huairu also came over, and was even more surprised when she saw that it was Xiaohao, "Xiaohao, why did you steal the seeds? Do you know that this is wrong?"
