The world of film and television started from optical film

The anxious look on Qin Huairu's brows could hardly be hidden.

Wang Zhong suddenly said: "Everyone, listen to me first!"

"Although I haven't been in our hospital for a long time, I also know that the atmosphere in our hospital is well-known even in the entire Nanluogu Lane."

"Just now, several of the uncles have said that over the years, our hospital has not lost even a single clue. What does this mean? It shows that the people in our hospital are not the ones who do such sneaky things."

"What Xiao Wang said makes sense. We have all lived in this courtyard for so many years and we all know the basics. As the old saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. We have been neighbors for so many years. Isn't this friendship worse than a close neighbor? A chicken?"

Yi Zhonghai, who had not spoken much, finally found the opportunity to speak.

"Master, what do you mean by this?" Xu Damao suddenly became anxious.

Wang Zhong smiled and comforted him: "Brother Damao, please listen to us first."

Xu Damao could only suppress his dissatisfaction when he saw that Wang Zhong was in trouble. Yi Zhonghai didn't have to give him face, but Xu Damao couldn't ignore Wang Zhong's face.

Wang Zhong continued: "In a person's life, there will always be times when he makes a mistake. No one can guarantee that he will not do anything wrong in his life. The key is to know how to correct mistakes. Our hospital has been doing this for so many years. Nothing like this has ever happened, and in my opinion, adults would definitely not be able to do this kind of thing, it was either an outsider or an ignorant child."

"When Brother Damao went out in the morning, the chicken was still there. When he came back from work, he found that the chicken was missing. We can confirm that the chicken was stolen during the day. Brother Damao's house is in the backyard, and this is the only one that enters our door. There are No outsiders have come in, just ask around and you’ll know!”

"That's right!" Xu Damao's IQ has reached its upper limit: "There is always no shortage of people in our courtyard. If outsiders come in and out, they will definitely not be able to hide it from everyone's eyes."

There are quite a few housewives like the first, second, and third aunts in the courtyard. They don’t just sit at home every day, clean the house, do laundry, buy food, and cook, or they sew, mend, and make clothes for their husbands and children. , if outsiders entered the courtyard, how could there be no movement at all.

"Brother Damao's house is in the backyard. It's daytime, even the thief who steals chickens and dogs will not run into the backyard just to steal a chicken this time! Even if it's really a thief who comes in from outside, even if he hides it There is no reason to steal one and keep one from everyone’s eyes!”

Xu Damao hurriedly agreed: "Yes, if it was really a thief coming in from outside, how could he only steal a chicken?"

"The person who stole the chicken must be from our yard!"

Xu Damao said with a bitter look on his face.

Wang Zhong said: "Brother Damao, sister-in-law, we have been neighbors in the same courtyard for so many years. In the future, we will definitely continue to be neighbors. We see each other with our heads down and not up every day. If we really dig into this matter, we will inevitably hurt our feelings." .

I do have an immature suggestion, but I don’t know whether Brother Damao and sister-in-law agree with it. "

Xu Damao asked: "What suggestions!"

Wang Zhongdao: "Now the matter is very clear. Some kid must have had delusions and took Damao's chicken. This kid is not mature yet and doesn't know much about the truth.

I think if any kid takes your chicken, Damao, let him take the kid to your house in private later, pay a few dollars, and ask the kid to tell you and your sister-in-law seriously. Sorry, teach him a lesson and let him know that taking without asking is stealing.

In this way, the adults can look good, and the children can also have a chance to make corrections. Brother Damao, sister-in-law, what do you think? "

Xu Damao wanted to say something more, but was pulled by Lou Xiao'e. Wang Zhong also stepped forward and said in a voice that only Xu Damao could hear: "Brother Damao, if this matter comes to pass, your prestige in this courtyard will be greatly reduced." Once you go up, if something happens again, the weight of your words will be different."

Xu Damao was immediately startled, and subconsciously glanced at Silly Zhu next to him, then gave Wang Zhong a look of thanks, then turned to face everyone and said loudly: "Everyone, three uncles, I, Xu Damao, am not unreasonable. Brother Wang Zhong is right. We all live in the same courtyard. We can’t see each other without looking up. If a child from another family really stole it, an adult from that family would bring the child to the door to apologize. Either return the chicken or pay compensation. I paid two yuan, and that was it.

But I’m going to start my ugly talk, and it’s only for tonight. If no one admits it by tomorrow morning, then don’t blame me, Xu Damao, for ignoring my neighbor’s friendship for many years. If it’s found out by then, it won’t be something that can be solved with two dollars. Son. "

If this matter falls on Sha Zhu, it's not a matter of two dollars. Without five dollars, how could Xu Damao let Sha Zhu go?

But Xu Damao is so smart. Two yuan is neither too much nor too little. A chicken is definitely not worth two yuan, but the nature of this matter is different, and two yuan can be regarded as a lesson.

The key is what Wang Zhong said. In this way, it can not only reflect Xu Damao's generosity, but also improve Xu Damao's prestige in the courtyard. If there is any conflict with Sha Zhu again in the future, if Sha Zhu really fights against him, there will be someone to help him. Pull.

And looking at this posture, this matter will definitely not fall on the stupid pillar. There is no need for Xu Damao to hold on to him, as long as he does not lose.

Yan Fugui said: "Since Xu Damao said so, then this matter should be settled like this. If no one admits it tonight or tomorrow morning, then we will launch an investigation in the courtyard and we must find out this Catch the chicken thief."

"First Master, Second Master, what do you think?"

Yan Fugui looked at the other two people.

The second uncle Liu Haizhong nodded and said: "I think what Lao Yan said makes sense."

Yi Zhonghai also nodded and said: "In this case, then this matter is settled. No matter whose child stole Xu Damao's chicken, as long as they apologize and pay compensation, the matter will be over. No one is allowed to mention it again, but the children must be well educated and this kind of thing must never be done again."

Yan Fugui also followed Yi Zhonghai's words and said: "Stealing needles when you are young, stealing gold when you are old, this is related to the child's character and future prospects, so you can't be careless."

Yan Fugui's words were also recognized by everyone. Even an illiterate person who has never touched a book in his life knows such a simple truth.

It was night, and it suddenly started snowing around seven o'clock. By nine o'clock in the evening, the entire city of Peiping was already covered in silver, and the courtyards and roofs were also covered with a layer of white blouse. .

Qin Huairu, who was cleaning up the house in Wang Zhong's home, was obviously a little distracted. She couldn't figure it out. Silly Zhu had already confessed to Bang Gang about stealing the chicken, but why was Wang Zhong so stubborn? I want to speak for Xu Damao.

Almost everything Qin Huairu was thinking was written on her face.

Wang Zhong seemed to have read through Qin Huairu's mind and asked directly: "I don't understand why I have to pull out Banggeng?" "Do you know that Banggeng stole the chicken?" At this moment, Qin Huairu followed suit. It's like someone discovered something bad.

Wang Zhong said: "Sister Qin, there is no airtight wall in this world. For some things, just a few clues are enough to guess the truth."

"Then you still have to pull out the stick!" Qin Huairu looked at Wang Zhong in confusion: "Banggeng is still a child!"

"Precisely because Bangge is still a child, it is even more important for him to understand that as long as he does some things, he must pay the price!"

Wang Zhong said: "Just now in the courtyard, the third uncle said that stealing needles when you are young and stealing gold when you are old, doesn't Sister Qin understand?"

"Banggen, he was just confused for a moment! He..." Qin Huairu was interrupted by Wang Zhong before he finished speaking.

Wang Zhong would not spoil Qin Huairu: "Sister Qin, if you have any objections to me, you can leave if you don't want to do it anymore!"

"I..." Qin Huairu wanted to be tough, but she was reluctant to give up the extra income of five yuan a month.

"You need to be strict in disciplining your children, and you need to be harsh in testing your character!" Wang Zhong looked serious and said in a serious tone: "Having a spoiled child is like killing a child!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and entered the back room. As he closed the door, he did not forget to say: "Don't forget to close the door when you leave later."

Qin Huairu was left alone, standing in front of the kitchen stove and sink, lost in thought.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the goose-feather heavy snow was still flying, and the howling north wind was like a bone-scratching steel knife, making people's cheeks hurt.

Xu Damao's door was also knocked at this time. Lou Xiao'e got up and went to open the door. She saw Qin Huairu leading the stick and standing in the heavy snow against the cold wind. There were already a lot of snowflakes falling on her head and body.

"It's you?"

Lou Xiao'e was very surprised. She didn't expect that the people who stole the chicken would be Bang Gang and Qin Huairu.

"Come in!" Lou Xiao'e didn't look very good, but she still welcomed the person into the house.

"Da Mao, Ezi, I'm really sorry. Banggeng was young and ignorant and did something wrong. This is two yuan. I'm really sorry."

Qin Huairu bowed and handed the two dollars she had prepared to Lou Xiao'e next to her.

Seeing Qin Huairu's eyes filled with tears and looking pitiful, Lou Xiao'e felt compassion in her heart.

Xu Damao looked at Qin Huairu and Banggan who came in, and his expression changed: "Who is so bold as to steal my chicken? It turns out to be you."

"Uncle Xu, I'm sorry!" Banggeng had been scolded by Qin Huairu a long time ago. Naturally, he did not dare to contradict Xu Damao. He bowed respectfully and apologized in a very upright manner: "It was my fault. I shouldn't have stolen it." Your chicken, I’m sorry, I was wrong, I won’t do it again.”

Seeing that Banggeng had such a correct attitude, Lou Xiao'e who was next to him immediately tugged on Xu Damao's sleeves and gave him a look. The meaning was very obvious, and it was enough. There was no need to worry too much about a child.

Now that he knows that Banggeng did this, and now that he has taken the money, and that Banggeng and Qin Huairu have also apologized, Xu Damao will naturally not go into it further, and just scolds Banggeng in a pretense of seriousness before leaving the matter. The child was uncovered, but while talking, he inevitably glanced at Qin Huairu a few more times. There seemed to be some different emotions hidden in those eyes.

It's a pity that Lou Xiao'e didn't notice it, and Qin Huairu was already used to such looks, not to mention that now, in this situation, even if she felt uncomfortable, she couldn't say anything.

"I didn't expect that this was actually done by Banggen!" Lou Xiao'e muttered as she watched Qin Huairu and her son leave, closed the door and put down the curtain.

Xu Damao said: "It's nothing strange. The Jia family's situation is just like that. It's normal for a child to be greedy and steal a chicken and eat it secretly."

Lou Xiao'e's sympathy overflowed and she sighed: "To say that Qin Huairu's life is really hard. She has only been married for a few years. Things are getting better now. Her man is gone again, leaving her alone as a widow. With my mother-in-law and three children!”

"Is her life miserable?" Xu Damao said disdainfully: "She is a rural woman. She can marry into the city and eat commercial food. Her life is already good. Life in the countryside is not easy now. There are many people who don't have enough to eat. , this is still in Beiping, if it were in the northwest or other places, it would be even worse."

Lou Xiao'e's family was well-off and she grew up with fine clothes and good food since she was a child. If her father hadn't noticed that the wind was blowing and married her to Xu Damao, it is estimated that Lou Xiao'e would never live in such a large courtyard in her life, so unworldly. Lou Xiao'e naturally couldn't understand what Xu Damao said.

Lou Xiao'e lamented Qin Huairu's hard life and sympathized with her experience and the Jia family's difficult life, but Xu Damao had a completely different idea in his heart.

In fact, Xu Damao had vaguely guessed the real culprit behind the scenes as early as at the conference. Xu Damao, a shrewd and observant person, might have been really annoyed by Silly Zhu at first, so he didn't notice Qin Huairu's reaction.

But when Wang Zhong stood up, Xu Damao, who calmed down, naturally noticed Qin Huairu's reaction.

Xu Damao's house is opposite the second uncle Liu Haizhong's house. Liu Haizhong put down the curtain beside the bed, and the second aunt next to him asked: "Did Banggeng steal the chickens in Xu Damao's house?"

"If it wasn't Banggeng, why did Qin Huairu bring Banggeng to see Xu Damao so late at night? She and Xu Damao are neither relatives nor have any friendship."

"No wonder I felt that Qin Huairu's reaction was not right when we held the hospital meeting just now. It turned out that it was really his son who did it." The second aunt looked like I had expected it, and she almost didn't make Liu Haizhong roll her eyes. .

"It's impossible to live without a man in this family. Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang are too indulgent of this kid Bangge. They even dare to do things like stealing chickens. If Wang Zhong hadn't stepped forward this time, the blame would have definitely been on Fool Zhu Bei. ”

"Do you think Shazhu is stupid? He didn't steal it. What did he admit?" The second aunt asked in confusion.

Liu Haizhong explained: "Is it okay not to admit it? That's what we said at the time. If we don't admit it, where did Silly Zhu's chicken come from? Is stealing Xu Damao's chicken the same as stealing the public's chicken? .”

"As the head of the family, you are still the best!" The second aunt immediately gave Liu Haizhong a thumbs up with a look of surprise on her face.
