"I... I just like children, and I think it makes people happy to look at them with cute faces." Xu Damao explained hurriedly.
"Bah, I like children, why didn't I see you give my child a candy?" An old lady who also has children at home couldn't help but say something. At the same time, she turned her eyes between Xu Damao and Qin Huairu twice and said maliciously.
I wonder if there is some shady relationship between the two.
Seeing that the matter was irreversible, Xu Damao gritted his teeth and said nothing, lowering his head and listening to everyone's criticism of him.
However, at this time, there were still people who remembered their stolen pants and asked Xu Damao directly for the pants.
Xu Damao looked innocent. He didn't have any special hobbies. Why would he want the pants of a bunch of old men and old ladies?
Thinking of this, Xu Damao began to defend himself, his voice full of helplessness and grievance: "I really just said it randomly when I was playing with my children. Who would have thought that this kid Bangge would take it seriously and actually go and steal people?"
Pants."
When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately became furious. She put her hands on her hips and roared: "You fart! You were the one who instigated it."
Jia Zhang's voice was sharp and harsh, causing several people who faced her to subconsciously rub their ears, trying to relieve the ear discomfort in this way.
Seeing that the two were about to start a fight again, Yi Zhonghai quickly knocked on the table to signal them to be quiet.
"Stop arguing! The most important thing now is to solve the problem."
After saying that, he turned his attention to Banggeng and asked him where he had done those pants.
What Bangge said next shocked everyone even more.
Although there was the temptation of candy, Banggeng only dared to steal from Jia and Zhang at first, but when he saw that Jia and Zhang had lost their pants, they just cursed a few words outside, and did not suspect him at all.
After that, Banggeng became much bolder.
But he was also afraid, so when he stole underwear for the second time, he did not choose to attack the people in the courtyard. Instead, he took advantage of playing with the children next door and stared at an old lady in Zhang Yu's courtyard who was basking in the window.
The bright red pants inside.
Seeing the big red pants, Banggeng's eyes lit up, and then during the next hide-and-seek game, he secretly took out the big red pants from the window, stuffed them into his pants and took them out.
But seeing Xu Damao give him candy regardless of the origin of his pants, Bang Gang became more courageous.
His movements became more and more aggressive after that, and now the pants of old men and women in several nearby yards were in trouble.
Moreover, Banggeng also cleverly discovered that many people would not directly publicize it if their pants were stolen, which made him even more unscrupulous.
But there were too many underpants missing, and those people had their minds set on not showing off their underpants to the outside world.
He had no choice but to steal from the outside, so he could only attack those close to him. However, he did not expect that Jia Zhang was different from others and directly made this matter a big deal.
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and some didn't know what to say.
Bangge, this kid, you say he is smart, maybe he stole two candies from someone else, but you say he is not smart, he stole so many times without being discovered.
The old men and women who had lost their pants looked even more annoyed. They thought of everyone but not their children.
It's just that since Bangge stole something, he must compensate them.
Thinking of this, the eyes of several people looking at Jia Zhang changed.
When it comes to money issues, no one cares whether Jia Zhang will go crazy?
Of course, Mrs. Jia Zhang was not willing to pay the money, so she just spread her hands and curled her lips, acting as if she wanted money rather than her life.
Qin Huairu was more shameless than her mother-in-law. Although she wanted to take advantage of the situation, she couldn't act like a pig like Jia Zhang who was not afraid of boiling water.
She turned her head and focused her eyes on Xu Damao, saying that she was also responsible for this matter and did not educate the child well.
In fact, he secretly said that all this was caused by Xu Damao, so Xu Damao must compensate for the money.
Qin Huairu's eloquence is indeed good, but after just a few words, everyone's attention was drawn to Xu Damao.
Naturally, Xu Damao couldn't bear this loss, so he started yelling and tried his best to shirk his own responsibilities.
But those old men and women who had lost their pants didn’t tell him this. They only had one request: to pay for it!
What's more, even if it's not enough to ask for compensation, you have to pay for cloth tickets.
After listening to his suggestion, a group of old men and women nodded in agreement.
Indeed, the money does not have to be compensated, but the cloth tickets must be compensated.
They only have one foot and eighty of cloth coupons a year, and you have to have a household registration in Beijing to get this.
This alone is enough for them to show off for a long time. After all, as the capital, Beijing's welfare benefits in all aspects are top-notch, and even the cloth tickets are much more than those in most cities.
But even if there are more than other places, a foot-eight-foot piece of cloth can only make a set of outer clothes.
But there is no wedding or funeral that does not require cloth.
Wear less clothes at ordinary times, everyone can make do with it, but I am afraid of meeting the one who is getting married.
Let’s not talk about other things, but you must prepare new bedding and new clothes when you get married. You can’t let the bride (groom) gossip at home.
There are definitely not enough cloth stamps at home, so every time we prepare for a wedding, our parents often need to come forward to borrow cloth stamps.
After getting married once, the whole family probably won't need to buy new clothes for three years.
Even if there are no such things at home for the time being, there will still be other places where cloth tickets are needed.
Although it is said that "three years are new, three years are old, and three years are mending." It advocates diligence and frugality, but people who work at home must have clothes that they can wear when going out, and they cannot be left naked for work.
Make money at home.
As a result, at least half of the family's cloth receipts will be lost.
Then there are the children. Children grow up quickly. Even if the eldest child wears the second child, and the second child wears the third child, they still have to buy more clothes.
After going back and forth like this, almost everyone was worried about the cloth tickets.
In order to make a pair of trousers, they had to think and think and save before finally making a decision.
Now it's good. It was stolen, so I don't have to feel bad for a long time.
After an old lady said this, everyone who felt the same as her agreed that they didn't need anything else, but they had to pay for the cloth tickets.
Xu Damao had a daughter-in-law named Lou Xiao'e, so he definitely had no shortage of clothes to wear, but he was not happy to let him suffer the disadvantage of being dumb, so he put the blame on Banggeng at that time.
After being criticized by a group of old men and women, he even said directly that it was okay to compensate for the money, but absolutely not to issue tickets. Moreover, both families were responsible for this matter, and he would only pay half of it at most.
As soon as he said this, although everyone was still a little dissatisfied, it was good that he was willing to compensate.
