Today is Minor Cold, and the weather is getting colder.

When I woke up in the early summer morning, I found that snowflakes were falling outside again, and the snow seemed to be getting heavier.

She walked out of the house and cleared the snow in front of her door on the corridor. Fortunately, the coal stove was placed against the wall, so the snow didn't drift so far. The coal balls inside were still burning, and the water in the aluminum kettle on top was also hot.

The coal briquettes used in the stove were bought with Sister Li's family at the beginning of winter. We bought enough for the whole winter.

In order to prevent the coal briquettes from being stolen, Chu Xia's family piled the briquettes under the windows of the house. There were only two people living in her house, she and An An, and there was still space in the outer room where the coal briquettes could be placed.

Some families have many people and things living in their houses, so they can't put the coal briquettes in the whole house, so they put them in the corridor and cover them with straw mats. They make a mark after each coal briquettes are used to prevent them from being stolen.

After all, coal briquettes are expensive, and some people are reluctant to buy enough for the whole winter, so they secretly take them from other people's homes.

The last time roasted sweet potatoes were stolen, it proved that even though it is a staff family compound, petty thefts still exist.

Chuxia knew it would be hard to find someone to help with the lost roasted sweet potatoes, so she stopped thinking about it.

However, Cen Huaian always kept it in mind and wanted to find out who stole his roasted sweet potatoes.

He didn't tell Chu Xia about this thought, and planned to find it secretly by himself.

This is a thought that only children have. They also want to do something big and have their mother praise them for being great.

Cen Huaian's method of finding the thief is very simple, that is, to use roasted sweet potatoes to rob again. Roasted sweet potatoes are so delicious and fragrant that people who have eaten them once will definitely want to eat them a second time.

He did it in early summer while still working in the factory.

Every afternoon, Cen Huaian's elementary school finishes school earlier than Chu Xia does. It's only because he often sells things with Bangzi that he comes home later than Chu Xia.

On the day of Minor Cold, the weather was bad all day and it was snowing the whole time. The snow was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and it made a "crunching" sound when walking on the road.

They don't sell anything in Tianbangzi anymore because it's too cold. Everyone goes home quickly after school, so naughty kids might just walk and play in the snow.

As soon as Cen Huaian got out of school, he put on the raincoat Chuxia bought for him and was the first one to run out of the classroom.

When he returned home, the adults in the staff quarters who had finished work had not yet returned, but the children who had finished school had returned one after another.

Cen Huaian opened the cover under the coal stove and carefully placed the sweet potatoes on the stove before the fire started.

Then he went into the house, pressed his body against the wall, avoiding the coal balls, and looked out of the window quietly.

Time passed slowly, and the sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes gradually filled the entire corridor. Cen Huaian even saw the sweet potato honey juice flowing out, which made him swallow his saliva.

But the sweet potatoes were cooked for a long time and no one came to take them. Cen Huaian frowned, thinking that he would not be able to catch anyone today, and was about to go out to take the sweet potatoes to eat himself.

Qi Ming from next door and Grandma Chen’s grandson Chen Xiaowei came up from the stairs. When they saw the sweet potatoes roasted by Cen Huaian, their eyes lit up.

Chen Xiaowei pointed at the sweet potato several times, covered his mouth and pulled Qi Ming, very excited.

Cen Huaian saw Qi Ming licking his lips and looked around, but saw no one. He pulled Chen Xiaowei and ran over on tiptoe, grabbing the roasted sweet potatoes through his gloves.
