Chapter 105 Passbook
In the past few days of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day, the Kang family has been traveling in Lian County, and Xianglan, who was originally in a bad state, quickly recovered. All because this place is really different from Guangfu. The mountains and springs are beautiful, the air is fresh, and life is very comfortable. After playing for a few days, everyone returned to Guangfu on October 7th and was ready to start a new round of moving bricks.
"Big news, there is a typhoon in Taiwan and it rains heavily. The water is up to the knees." After the second sister-in-law came back, she picked up the newspaper and read the news out of boredom. When she saw the news about the typhoon in Taiwan, she exclaimed: "I wonder how Uncle Chang's family is doing? Do you want to call and check in?"
"Oh, silly woman, if Uncle Chang is so rich, he must have many servants at home, are you afraid? What happened to him? Even if the water reaches his house, his servants will clean it up in a few minutes. "The second brother doesn't think so, so the rich boss is afraid of typhoon rain?"
While everyone was chatting in the living room, neighbor Xu Bo walked into Kang's house and explored Kang's house as if he was looking for something. "Uncle Xu, what's going on?" the boss just asked.
"Serious business." Uncle Xu replied while rummaging around.
"Uncle Xu, are you missing something?" The second brother guessed when he saw that he had been looking around in the living room. Uncle Xu didn't respond to him, he just continued to walk around the living room looking here and there. Seeing him like this, everyone was even more sure that he was missing something, but why did he come here to look for it?
"Sister Jiao, come here." Kang Qirui shouted loudly. After Sister Jiao came to the living room with a kitchen knife, he asked: "Did Uncle Xu come here when we were not at home?"
"Fifth Young Master, after I came back from the countryside yesterday, I opened the door and came in to clean the house. He came in just after finishing the living room, and he was still the same as now, turning over and over. I don't think he lost anything, but It's because his brain is abnormal." Sister Jiao replied, and she also guessed that Uncle Xu had not missed anything.
After Xu Bo walked around the living room, he walked inside. Everyone was worried and followed him in. I saw Uncle Xu searching in the courtyard garden, and unexpectedly found an envelope containing more than a thousand yuan in cash and a bankbook. The second guy was staying behind everyone, but as soon as he saw the envelope, he rushed forward and snatched it from Uncle Xu's hand.
"Azong, what are you doing? Are the things in the envelope fake? Are you just blind to money?" Boss Guang asked doubtfully. The second guy rolled his eyes, took out the passbook from the envelope and spread it out for everyone to see, "The one with my name on it belongs to me. Why are you so greedy for money? What kind of person am I, Kang Qizong?"
"Kang Qizong, you are so lucky! You are brave enough to collect so much personal money." The second sister-in-law exploded when she saw it. "What? Writing my name doesn't mean it's my personal money." The second guy explained quickly.
"Okay, it's not personal money, so it will be confiscated." The second sister-in-law put the envelope in her trouser pocket, and the second sister-in-law was about to cry. After watching the good show, I was about to ask Uncle Xu what he was looking for, but I didn't see Uncle Xu and didn't know where he went.
Everyone thought that Uncle Xu had gone home, so they thought of going out to the living room to continue watching TV and reading newspapers. However, when they passed Old Dou’s room, they heard Old Dou’s surprise: “Hello? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.” Call, everyone hurry in and see what's going on. It turned out that it was Uncle Xu lying on Lao Dou's bed covered with a quilt. Lao Dou didn't know who it was and was startled because he thought it was a ghost.
Big Brother Guang woke up Uncle Xu and notified his daughter to pick him up and take him home. When his daughter came to pick him up, everyone found out that Uncle Xu had Alzheimer's disease. He always thought that he had lost something, so he wandered around and rummaged through things, shouting that he should be serious. The Kang family was originally grateful that both their parents were healthy.
As a result, within a few days, I discovered that Lao Dou had been deified all day long, shouting numbers like 8384 and 2324. After shouting, he sometimes smiled and sometimes frowned. Moreover, it had just started raining heavily and he went to the patio garden. The more I look at him, the more he looks like Uncle Xu has Alzheimer's disease. The five brothers of the Kang family gathered in the boss's room to hold the first collective meeting of the second generation of the Kang family.
"I have seen Lao Dou talking to himself several times, as if he was talking about some numbers." Azu was the first to tell what he saw. "Yes, I have heard it several times. And yesterday, Lao Dou called me by the wrong name, calling me Ah Rui." A Yao said worriedly.
"What's the point of calling you by the wrong name? Yesterday, Lao Dou said that my wife and your second sister-in-law were Tianxiu's wife." The second brother held his forehead and said with a sad look, "Only since Uncle Xu came that day After returning home, Old Dou was exactly like him. I suspect that Uncle Xu infected Old Dou with Alzheimer's disease."
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't think this Alzheimer's disease is contagious. It's not like Lao Dou. He kept mumbling numbers. Did he forget the password and couldn't remember it?" Kang Qirui guided everyone to think about the correct answer.
"Password? It's not impossible. Lao Dou kept shouting numbers, maybe he was trying the password, but what password?" Ayao also agreed with Kang Qirui's idea, but he couldn't figure out what it was. password.
The second guy thought for a while and said, "If it's a password, what else could it be? It's either the safe password or the bank passbook password." Kang Qirui said directly, "It should be the bank password. Lao Dou has always said The numbers you muttered were all four digits, so they were bank passwords. Now they have to be changed to six digits. Maybe Lao Dou forgot the password in one of the bankbooks he went to change.”
The brothers looked at each other and agreed that the possibility was very high, at least higher than the possibility of Alzheimer's disease. Then he asked, "What should we do now?"
"What can we do? Just ask Lao Dou." Kang Qirui opened the door and went out, found Lao Dou in the living room, and asked: "Old Dou, I have something to ask you." Old Dou lowered his head and thought about something, and replied impatiently: "Ask."
"What have you been doing recently? You look so distracted. ." Kang Qirui asked directly. "I'm doing serious business." Lao Dou said perfunctorily.
At this time, Guangzong Yaozu also came out, and the five brothers asked in unison: "What's wrong with you? Have you forgotten your passbook password?"
"Huh?" Lao Dou was surprised, looked up at the five brothers and said , "How do you know? Then do you know what my password is?"
It turns out that it is as simple as forgetting the password. The brothers all breathed a sigh of relief, and the second brother said on behalf of everyone: "We saw that you kept muttering about the number combinations and we guessed it. We thought you had Alzheimer's disease, hahahaha."
"You have Alzheimer's disease." , You are a loser in your class." Old Dou cursed and then said, "Do you know what my password is?" Old Dou was in a hurry to seek medical treatment. How could Kang Qirui and the others know it? His bankbook password. Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Lao Dou impatiently waved for them to leave, "Let's go, don't bother me here."
Everyone who knew that Lao Dou was fine felt relieved and went about their own business. Things went down. Kang Qirui returned to his room. He has been mainly busy with three things recently. The first is to accompany his wife during her pregnancy; the second is to take classes and preside over the "Academic Origins of Traditional Chinese Literary Theory" project. At present, this project has reached an important stage of producing results. The third stage is to integrate his research during his doctoral period into a book "Rhyme Reading of the Book of Songs·Rhyme Reading of Chu Ci", which is expected to be published in the second half of next year.
Kang Qirui can't say that he has no interest in making money, but more importantly, he can't make money. To give a simple example, Penguin, which is still very small, is currently short of money. The Penguin founder team is currently actively introducing funds, and the demand is US$2 million. Not to mention that Kang Qirui didn't have it, even if Kang Qirui had the money, if he brought it to Penguin, would he want it? Obviously I won't take money from a simple idiot like you.
So just having money is not enough. More importantly, you must have resources and status. In this way, others will take your money, and helping you will also help them make money, achieving a win-win situation.
Kang Qirui was writing in the room when he heard Lao Dou shouting outside, "I thought of it, I thought of it, three seven twenty-one, three seven twenty-one, 3721 , Hahahaha." Kang Qirui shook his head and continued to work hard. Just as I started writing, I heard Lao Dou scream again, "Who stole my bankbook? Come out, come out, all of them."
Kang Qirui came to the living room confused, Lao Dou had a dark face, "Everyone is here. I'm missing a bankbook. Which one of you took it? Get it back now and I'll pretend that nothing happened." Everyone, look at me and look at yours. I didn't take it.
I saw the second sister-in-law and Xianglan raising their hands hesitantly, and Lao Dou said angrily: "Is it you?"
"No, no, we are saying that when we were sweeping the floor today, we saw a passbook with Xu Guangli written on it, so we returned it to Uncle Xu." The second sister-in-law said in a low voice.
"Oh, that passbook is mine. Uncle Xu's name is Xu Shaofeng." Old Dou said clapped his hands.
The second sister-in-law didn't understand, "Then why don't you use your own name? If you use your own name, we won't admit it wrong." The second sister-in-law was also very aggrieved. This was written by Xu Guangli Who knew the passbook was yours, Kang Ershou?
"At that time, people liked to deposit money under false names. Let me tell you, when the word Kang is broken down, it is just the word Guang and the word Li." Lao Dou explained. "Then just ask him to get it back. What a big deal." Sachiko said nonchalantly. It's such a simple thing.
“You are stupid. It’s tens of thousands of dollars. You say it’s yours? Even if you go to court and the bankbook says Xu Guangli, the judge will think it belongs to Uncle Xu. It's not your Kang Bo's." The second sister-in-law feels that the matter is not that simple. There is no evidence to prove that Xu Guangli is Lao Dou, and there is nothing you can do if they don't give you back.
"It's my thing, how dare he not give it to me?" Lao Dou said. "Then you have to be believed by others." The second brother also agreed with the second sister-in-law. When Kang Ershou went to someone's house and said that Xu Guangli's bankbook was yours, who would believe it?
At this time Uncle Xu's daughter walked in, and Lao Dou immediately stood up and said, "Aqiu, you came just in time. I have something to ask you for."
"Uncle Kang, Then I should know what you want from me. Just now I saw my old Dou holding a bankbook. I saw that the name didn't belong to him, so I asked him how he got it. He kept talking about the Kang family, so I came. Looking for you." Uncle Xu's daughter Qiu said and handed the bankbook to Lao Dou. Lao Dou had been staring at the bankbook in Qiu's hand just now, and he immediately caught it as soon as she handed it over.
Then Lao Dou explained to Sister Qiu that he had deposited money under a false name, "So that's it. That's all right. The property returns to its original owner. I'll go home and take care of my old Dou." After that, Sister Qiu left the Kang family. Needless to say, Sister Qiu's character is really good and she is not greedy.
