Bangge is in the second grade this year and will be in the third grade after the summer vacation.
At the age of eight, he is no longer the mindless petty thief he was when he was five or six a few years ago.
Today's Banggeng is no longer a little kid who casually goes to Shazhu's house to look for things, relying on the pampering of his grandma and mother.
He now knows the serious consequences of being caught stealing.
So don't take action easily.
But it doesn't mean that he has gotten better, after all, the basics are still there.
Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang never beat Banggong for stealing.
In the years when Si Zhu was not in charge, he even praised him for his ability.
Although two of his fingers were pinched off by Lin Zhen's mousetrap and beaten twice by Liu Yuhua, he did not feel that stealing was wrong.
He thinks that being able to steal something is a skill, but being discovered is a sign that the skill has not been practiced well.
Just like the last time I stole the radio, I sold it for more than 40 yuan, even though I got a beating.
But my mother did not give the money to Silly Zhu, and grandma even praised herself afterwards.
Later, he stole things several times, and the one he was caught stealing was Liu Yuhua's eggs.
The rest have never been discovered.
In the past six months, no one has helped the Jia family, and Banggeng has felt the changes in his mother.
Now that I'm older, I've become sensible, and I know that my mother's salary is definitely not enough to improve my life by eating refined grains so often.
Just thinking about where to find something.
I happened to find an old deaf lady counting food stamps at the door after school.
Banggeng immediately had an idea in his mind.
When the deaf old lady saw Bangge coming back, she quickly packed up the food stamps.
I thought to myself, if I am not afraid of thieves stealing, I am afraid that thieves will miss me.
Damn it, you are not an old lady and I am guarding you.
It's you who steals things, but your family never cares about it.
You have been honest these past few months, but I still have to be careful.
Bangge lowered his head and went home to do his homework honestly.
The deaf old lady deliberately put a food stamp under her pillow so that a corner leaked out.
Then put the rest on you.
I went to the backyard to find Liu Yuhua on crutches. I deliberately didn't lock the door and just closed it gently.
He coughed when he reached the door and walked slowly towards the backyard.
She thought Banggeng would definitely come into the house. As long as the food stamps were gone, she would be more considerate in the future. She would not hide the money and tickets in the cabinet, but would carry them all with her.
But when she finished her meal in the backyard and finished talking, she returned home after nine o'clock. The food stamps were still there, and even the position of her pillow had not changed.
Obviously BangGeng didn't come to the house.
The deaf old lady breathed a sigh of relief and laughed at herself: "Oh, it's not good to be close to that boy Lin Zhen. I have learned to be on guard against others. This kid has really changed for the better. I shouldn't still regard him as a thief."
look."
The deaf old lady couldn't help but shook her head when she remembered the scene of the stick being beaten.
I feel that Banggeng has gotten better after being beaten. As an old lady in her eighties, I shouldn't look at my children like a thief.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, the deaf old lady slowly walked to the street with a cane.
The speculator Sister Sun has been waiting under the big elm tree for a long time.
"Hey, ancestor, why did you come here? I've been waiting for a long time."
The deaf old lady squinted her eyes and smiled: "You have to wait until I finish breakfast."
"Hey, you can't do business first and then eat. If you have money, go and have a bowl of fried liver. Isn't it better than what you eat at home?"
"Okay, okay, hurry up, I'm still waiting to go to the Pigeon Market."
Every month on the second day when the subdistrict office distributes subsidies for orphans and widows, the deaf old lady comes to Sister Sun to resell food stamps.
Two cents per catty, forty catties, eight yuan.
The deaf old lady took the money and whispered: "I come to you every month, why don't you give me an extra cent?"
Sister Sun frowned and said: "Okay, ancestors, I am the only one who dares to take this piece. I don't know everything about it. If you change it, no one else would dare to take it!"
The deaf old lady curled her lips and said: "Not only do I know the basics, but I also know what price you sell it for. No, I'll give it to you before my monthly food stamps are warmed up. You have to give me an extra ten cents. I'll go to the public house."
Go to the shop early and have a bowl of fried liver!"
"Hey, you old lady, haven't you already had breakfast? Don't try to offend me. I have to go back quickly and won't talk to you anymore!"
The deaf old lady grabbed Sister Sun and said, "No, Girl Sun, you have to give me another ten cents, otherwise I will scream!"
"No, okay, okay, I really can't do anything to you. If you don't do it next time, I won't want you!"
"Hey hey hey, okay!"
The deaf old lady cheated and asked for an extra cent, and she was very happy. She felt like she was back to the time when everyone respected her.
After returning to Silly Pillar's house, the deaf old lady counted the money, plus the 3 yuan given by the street office, a total of 11 yuan.
Fold it and put it under the mattress at the head of the bed, no longer need to worry about sticks.
We are going to wait until Sunday to let Yuhua go to the vegetable market to buy some good things.
After Liu Yuhua got off work in the afternoon, the deaf old lady followed him to the backyard.
Not long after she walked away, Bangge got into the silly pillar's house like a rabbit.
Banggen once followed Qin Huairu to sell food stamps, so he naturally knew about the deaf old lady reselling food stamps.
He also knows that reselling food stamps is speculation and making mistakes, and if caught, he will be jailed.
So he waited for the deaf old lady to finish selling the food stamps, and then stole the money.
In that case, even if the deaf old lady found out that her money was lost, she would not make any announcement.
Because if the news gets out, the deaf old lady will also be punished.
BangGeng was sure of this and didn't go rummaging through the house yesterday.
Today is the day when the deaf old lady resells food stamps, and Banggeng has already found out the details.
He hadn't made a move for several months just to make the deaf old lady relax her vigilance. Now when he made a move, it was natural that he would be able to catch her.
BangGeng went to the house and rummaged around a few times, and found the deaf old lady's money under the mattress beside the bed.
A total of 11 yuan and 1 hair, neatly folded.
BangGeng put it in his pocket without saying a word, but if he thought about it carefully, the deaf old lady was treating her family well during this period.
This time, I will leave the old house to her, so don’t make the old lady mad.
After getting so angry with Grandpa Yi, grandma often regretted it and said that no one would help us.
The old lady is older, I'd better leave some for her, maybe she can steal it in the future.
Banggeng immediately took out the money again, but seeing so much money in his hand, he was really reluctant to let go of some more.
Children are children after all. Although they are a little scheming, what they do is ultimately unreliable.
After thinking for a while, Banggeng gritted his teeth, left the dime to the deaf old lady, turned around and walked out.
The deaf old lady was in the backyard and said proudly: "Yuhua, let's improve our lives this Sunday. I'll give you money, and you can go to Dongdan Wet Market and buy a big rooster!"
Liu Yuhua pretended to be angry and said: "Grandma, are you selling food stamps again? How many times have I told you that it was a mistake and you will be unlucky if you are caught!"
The deaf old lady chuckled and said: "Yueyue, if you don't spend my food stamps, why are you keeping them? If I resell them, I can still keep them for Fei Biao!"
Liu Yuhua said: "I don't want your money. Save your own money and enjoy yourself in the future. You must never resell food stamps again. Do you hear me?"
The deaf old lady chuckled: "I can't hear, I'm deaf!"
"Well, it's time for you to be deaf. Mom, you should watch over grandma from now on and don't let her go to find that Sister Sun again!"
Yuhua's mother smiled and said, "I don't even know when the old lady goes out. Okay, after the subdistrict office sends out the orphans and widows subsidy next month, I will definitely keep an eye on her!"
The deaf old lady pursed her lips and squinted her eyes: "No one can stare at me..."
After dinner, the deaf old lady happily returned to the Silly Pillar House.
Before going to bed, he opened the mattress again.
Prepare some money, take out two pieces to improve your life, and put the rest in the cabinet in the backyard.
Now that I have passed Liu Yuhua's test, I can take it out directly tomorrow.
Otherwise, with Liu Yuhua's character, he could take the money and go to Sister Sun overnight to withdraw.
"Hey~ I, I, where is my money!"
The deaf old lady's eyes suddenly widened.
When he opened the mattress, except for the dime, 11 yuan was gone.
The deaf old lady was stunned, she lost only 11 yuan.
The first suspect is the stick thief.
But she is a smart person and there is no way to ask about this matter. She will not rashly make trouble without any evidence.
Especially since the money was obtained by reselling food stamps, there was no way to report the crime.
But the deaf old lady is not a person who suffers from being mute.
I immediately went to the backyard on crutches.
"Yuhua, I lost my money. The 8 yuan I got from selling food stamps and the 3 yuan I got from the street office are gone!"
"What? The money was lost? Where did you put it?"
"Oh, I'm afraid you'll tell me. I want to give you some air today, and then put it in the cupboard tomorrow. When I came to eat, I put down the pillar bed. When I went back just now, I saw that there was only 10 cents left. I'm still cheating. Ask Sister Sun for it!"
"Hey! Tell me about yourself, okay, okay, don't be sad, I'll help you find it!"
Liu Yuhua handed the child to her mother, stood up, weighed a rolling pin and walked out.
The deaf old lady hurriedly stopped her.
"Wait a minute, my silly granddaughter, are you looking for Bangge?"
Liu Yuhua chuckled, "If you don't look for him, there's no one else. There's no one else in this courtyard who can do such a thing!"
The deaf old lady shook her head and said: "Don't be so impulsive. We have no evidence and go directly to make trouble because Fei Biao has made enemies. Moreover, Qin Huairu and her mother-in-law have done a pretty good job in the past few months, and people can't find fault. If you go If we quarrel with Qin Huairu, the neighbors will say that we are bullying others."
Liu Yuhua said with a smile: "No matter how good they are in the past few months, they can't offset the fact that Banggeng stole the money. No need to guess that Banggeng stole it. I went over to scare him and he told the truth."
"No, no, BangGeng is stubborn. Even if you find 11 yuan, you can't prove that he stole it from me. Moreover, 8 yuan of it was money I made from reselling food stamps, so I can't report it to the police."
Liu Yuhua frowned and said, "Then you can suffer the loss of being dumb?"
The deaf old lady smiled slightly, held the corners of the dime bill with two fingers, and waved it in front of Liu Yuhua.
"Go and ask Lin Zhen to smoke it with iodine. Won't the fingerprints come out? The last time the stick broke the solar stove of Yanbu Gui's family, Lin Zhen used the same method. I won't go to him anymore. Go and find it for me. If you have fingerprints, there will be evidence."
Liu Yuhua suddenly smiled and said: "Hey! Jiang is still very old. This time, no matter it is Bangge or whoever it is, report it immediately after finding out and say that the money was given to you by me. As long as you don't mention the reselling of food stamps, no one will Can’t find that aspect!”
The deaf old lady nodded, "Okay, go find Lin Zhen quickly!"
