Chapter 4 Forgot to close the liquefied gas tank

Seeing that my sister was anxious to pick up the bottle, Cheng Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's finish the rice dumplings. This is the rice dumplings I earned after picking up a large woven bag of bottles. It must be eaten well."

Cheng Zi nodded and could pick up the bottle later, but the zongzi had to be tasted carefully. It was the first time she had tasted such delicious zongzi and egg yolk meat zongzi, but she had to taste it carefully.

The brother and sister found a big tree, sat down against the tree, and slowly ate the rice dumplings in small bites. It took a long time to finish the rice dumplings. They sucked their fingers with unsatisfactoryness and sucked the smell on their fingers.

Cheng Zi patted his stomach, stood up and said, "I'm full, brother, let's go pick up the bottle!"

Cheng Cheng also stood up: "Let's go get the bag first, and then pick up the bottle. The teacher at the school said that before doing something, you must make preparations in all aspects so that you can do things well!"

Cheng Zi nodded quickly: "Yes, before we pick up the bottle, we must prepare the woven bag first, so let's get the woven bag first!"

Cheng Cheng took his sister's hand and took her to a shabby old house.

Cheng Zi looked at the dilapidated house and asked strangely: "It seems that there are no people here, it is different from the street in front!"

"The street in front is for business, maybe it's for people to live in, but no one lives here now, maybe it's because it's about to be demolished!"

Cheng Cheng said something vaguely. He pointed to a mark on the wall, with a large circle drawn on it, and a word for dismantling was written inside, and he recognized this word.

Neither of them understood what demolition was, nor did they really see the house being demolished. They just simply believed that the house was demolished, so no one lived in it. As for what benefits locals would get from demolition, they would never imagine, at least at this age, they would never imagine.

Cheng Cheng pointed to a yard on the street and said, "I put the bags and some bottles there. The yard is so big. I think our family doesn't rent a house, just move here to live!"

After hearing this, Cheng Zi's eyes lit up and asked, "Is the toilet big? Can you take a shower inside? Just like the toilet in Brother Wen Qiang's house?"

Cheng Cheng shook his head and said, "It seems that there is no such toilet. There are quite a lot of empty rooms inside, there are a lot of furniture and broken wooden boards. Last time I asked about collecting scraps, but he won't collect these things, otherwise he could exchange them for some money."

"We can't sell other people's things..."

As the brother and sister spoke, they arrived at the door of the yard, but found that the door of the yard was open, as if there was someone inside.

Cheng Cheng didn't dare to go in immediately. He was afraid that the owner had come back, so he leaned his head and looked inside, but he didn't see anyone. Maybe he was in the room behind.

Cheng Zi also looked inside and saw that the yard was very big, with many rooms inside, some weeds growing in the yard, and a lot of garbage piles inside.

At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly ran out from the back of the yard, muttering and wondering what he was saying. He ran very fast and didn't know what he was doing.

Cheng Cheng thought to himself: "What's the urgent matter for this person? Is he the one who lives here? I haven't seen this person before!"

His woven bag is still in the yard. Even if he is tough at this time, he has to go in and get it. There are still many bottles in it.

Cheng Cheng said to Cheng Zi: "You wait here first, don't run around, I'll go in and get the woven bag and come out immediately!"

Cheng Zi nodded. There was nothing to do in this place, it was all broken houses, and even if she wanted to play, she wouldn't be able to play here.

Cheng Cheng shouted, "Is there anyone inside?" He knocked on the door panel and walked into the yard, but there was no one in the yard.

After walking through the yard, he walked into the main house and saw a bed on the floor inside the main house, with bedding and pillows on the top, and some very simple toiletries were placed on the windowsill.

Cheng Cheng thought to himself: "There is someone living here, but he is definitely not the owner. He should also be a person who comes to work in another place. Although living here is uncomfortable, it can save rent, which is also a good choice."

Looking inside, I heard a sizzling sound in the kitchen. It seemed that someone was cooking, but the kitchen was a little far from the main house, and there were several rooms between them. He didn't want to go over and see. He came in with a woven bag, and as long as he could take it away, it would be fine. As long as you don't misunderstand that he was a thief, of course there was nothing worth stealing in this broken house.

He shouted to the kitchen: "Is anyone there? I'm here to get my woven bag. I'll leave after I've taken it."

There was a woven bag he had placed in the corner of the wall, which was bulging inside and half a bag of plastic bottles. The people living here did not touch these things.

Cheng Cheng picked up the woven bag and walked out of the yard. No one responded to the kitchen. I guess there was no one in the kitchen. He didn't think too much, but just took his own things and left the yard.

Cheng Zi was waiting outside obediently. When she saw her brother coming out, she was holding a very large woven bag in her hand. There were obviously many bottles inside. She clapped her hands happily and shouted: "Brother, are these things enough to buy two skewers of fried stinky tofu? I want to eat stinky tofu!"

Cheng Cheng nodded and said, "It should be enough, but I plan to save a little more and then sell the scraps, so that we can eat enough at once."

Cheng Zi nodded repeatedly. Her brother had a good idea. She was now ready to pick up all sides and was impatient.

The brother and sister left the broken house one by one and the other, and were going to pick up plastic bottles.

There was indeed no one in the kitchen of the broken yard, but there was a small, very worn gas stove, and a gas tank. The gas tank was open, and the dishes were stewed on the stove, and the steam was whispering. However, because the people living here had been away for too long, the soup in the pot had been burned, and the dishes inside were burnt, and bursts of black smoke were emitted.

The people living here, like the Cheng family, are all from other places who come here to work, but he did not choose to rent a house, but lived in a house that is about to be demolished, which can save a lot of rent. Although the living conditions are a little worse, for those who have just come to Shanghai to work, it is already very happy to have a free place to live.

But the people living here were very careless. When he was cooking, he found that the salt had been used up, so he hurried out to buy salt, but he left too quickly and forgot to turn off the liquefied gas tank.

This is a very dangerous behavior, but this person does not realize that doing so is dangerous. Perhaps only after experiencing the danger can he know the terribleness of the danger.

At this time, three more people came outside the broken yard, and these three people were Su Xinyi, her second cousin and third cousin. The three children ran here to explore.
