Looking at Alan's look, Lin Yan knew that she was worrying too much. She said, "You're busy, I'll leave first."
"Don't leave in a hurry, I just have something to do with you."
Lin Yan was stunned, "What's the matter?"
Alan rarely comes to see her, and when she does, it's a big deal.
Watching Alan rummaging through the table, he found a piece of yellow paper and walked over with it. Lin Yan took it and looked at it. It was Yu Cai's work report record about wheat fields.
The number of the wheat field was recorded in detail, the day on which the seeds were sown, the day on which the seedlings emerged, what the 30 selected families had done, and whether they had done anything as required.
Lin Yan praised: "Yucai is very attentive and does a good job."
"Yes, she really put her heart into it and recorded it in detail. It's clear at a glance. She made the right choice when she asked Yucai to do this." Alan thought the same way, "What I want to say is, Yucai yesterday Come to me and tell me something, I want to talk to you."
"The attention that the wheat field received was noticed by people who were interested. Someone secretly went to pull out seedlings in the field, but we haven't found out who did it."
"What?" Lin Yan was shocked, "Who is so bold as to go to the field to secretly pull out seedlings? Didn't I tell you before that transplanting wheat seedlings is not easy for survival, and there are still people who dare to do this."
"Don't be surprised. What happened has already happened. You told the person you chose, and others don't know about it. Someone might have seen the good stuff and wanted to steal it back to his home."
"Didn't catch anyone?"
Alan shook his head and sighed: "That's a smart thief. If Yu Cai hadn't been careful, he wouldn't have been able to spot it."
"Smart?" Lin Yan was puzzled, "Tell me, how did that thief steal the wheat seedlings."
"Some people plant wheat seedlings in their wheat fields more densely, and thieves specialize in stealing them. When you pick and pull out wheat seedlings that are densely packed, you really can't tell if you don't look carefully. Yu Cai also had doubts and kept observing for several days. Only then did they find some traces, and asked the wheat seedling family to look carefully, and then they confirmed that someone really stole the wheat seedlings. But unfortunately, they continued to observe for several days, but they couldn't find the person who stole the wheat seedlings."
"This thief is very thoughtful and thoughtful. He probably stopped when he realized he was discovered."
"Maybe, otherwise I wouldn't call him smart." Alan looked at Lin Yan expectantly, "Do you have a way to catch the thief?"
Lin Yan shook his head, "This happened quite suddenly, please let me think about it."
After coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lin Yan looked into the distance and decided to go for a walk in the fields. She had just read Yucai's records, and she remembered which fields had the most densely planted wheat seedlings.
Most of the wheat seedlings in the field are very sparse, which makes weeding easier. Lin Yan thinks that the field is big enough and can grow better with larger gaps.
This is to cultivate wheat seeds. They need to be planted sparsely. When families plant them in the future, they can be planted more densely and the yield per mu can be increased a lot.
Lin Yan went to Yucai first, wanting to go with her to see Mai Miao's condition.
Yucai took her there without saying a word, and the two of them walked through the dense field of wheat seedlings.
After looking at it, Lin Yan said speechlessly: "This little thief has good eyesight. He can see the secrets in such a large wheat field, and it is difficult for others to find out if he steals it."
"Yes, it must have been done by someone who knows a lot about wheat fields." Yu Cai came to this conclusion after observing for a few days, "I looked carefully several times before I knew where there were more seedlings, but the little thief was very accurate in his attack. familiar."
"In this way, in addition to those who grow wheat seedlings who often go to the fields to take care of them and are very familiar with them, there are also those of us who often check. The stolen fields are found everywhere and are not concentrated together. This shows that we really know wheat. land."
Yucai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Are you saying that the people who stole the wheat seedlings are among us?"
"Probably."
Lin Yan was not innocent. The stolen wheat seedlings were spread over a wide area and were not concentrated in any particular household. The thief was probably trying to cover up, but he didn't expect to expose himself.
There were three people following Yucai to inspect the wheat fields, and they were also the people who knew all the wheat fields best.
Yu Cai thought about it seriously, "You're right, I really didn't expect it to be done by an acquaintance. Let's go find them."
They first went to Yunmeng, an eighteen-year-old girl who was diligent and transparent. Yu Cai liked her very much, so she asked her to help with things.
Yunmeng was very surprised to see Yucai and Lin Yan. After hearing their intention, he immediately said: "It's not me, I wouldn't do such a thing."
"I didn't say it was you, we were just looking for you to understand the situation." Lin Yan comforted, "Who do you think is the most interested in Mai Di among the three?"
Yunmeng gritted his teeth and said, "We are all very interested in working together with Yucai. I cherish this opportunity."
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows, "Did you know that the survival rate of transplanted wheat seedlings is very low?"
Yunmeng's eyes narrowed and she shook her head slowly.
Yucai sighed and said, "They two know it." This is why she came directly to Yunmeng.
For a moment, Yunmeng had nothing to hide.
Lin Yan saw Yun Meng's sad and uneasy look. Although he couldn't bear it, he still said, "Why did you do that?"
Yunmeng had tears in her eyes, "I just want to cultivate the wheat seedlings myself and observe the growth of the wheat seedlings. I really don't know whether the transplanted wheat seedlings will survive easily, otherwise I wouldn't do it. I transplanted the wheat seedlings to a remote place place, look at them often, they are still alive.”
"How many wheat seedlings have you dug? Take us to see them." Yucai wanted to see them in person to confirm that the wheat seedlings were still alive.
Yunmeng nodded, "Let's go, I'll take you there right away. I dug up fifty wheat seedlings in total, and I don't want to dig any more."
When he saw that Yunmeng had neatly taken care of the stolen wheat seedlings, half of the soil was still wet, Lin Yan asked, "Have you watered these wheat seedlings?"
"Yes, I saw that many plants grew wildly after rain. I thought the rain would make them grow better, so I watered half of the wheat seedlings to see if they would do the same."
Yucai looked at Yunmeng helplessly, "You are doing bad things with good intentions. If you want Mai Miao, just tell me, why do you want to steal it?"
What a good kid to do something like this.
There is no doubt that stealing is illegal and will be severely punished.
Lin Yan was also helpless. Yunmeng's idea was good, but he chose the wrong method. Stealing is illegal, and Alan will definitely be severely punished.
Yunmeng is still Yun Qing's family member, so she must act as a partner and cannot be tolerated.
Seeing that the stolen wheat seedlings were growing well, Lin Yan did not intend to move them away, so he just let them grow here. What if he moved back and died.
The three of them went to find Alan and explained what happened, and then Lin Yan left.
The next morning, I heard about Yunmeng's punishment. Stealing wheat seedlings privately is a bad nature, and she will be fined 1 yuan and 50 cents. The escort team will observe her subsequent performance. If she commits the crime again, she will be directly detained in a labor camp.
Another case of illegal and high compensation touched everyone's nerves.
Everyone in Sun City feels that detention through forced labor is not terrible, but fines are the most terrible thing.
How hard it is to make money, and even harder to save it.
