"Huh..." Qin Huairu checked herself and was relieved to find nothing. She put the four thermoses back in place.
However, what Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi did not expect was that most families would not have four thermoses. It would be good if they had one or two, and some families did not even have one.
Qin Huairu was no longer in the mood to cook, but went to the door to continue listening to the noise in the front yard. However, this time she could no longer hear the swearing in the front yard, and Qin Huairu was not the only one watching the fun in the yard.
There must be something going on if someone is cursing in the street so early in the morning, otherwise who would be cursing in the street so early in the morning?
Old lady Qin in the front yard saw that she had been cursing in the yard for a long time but no one paid any attention to her. She felt very bored. In addition, she had just moved in and no one she knew came to ask about the situation, so she went straight back to the house.
What Old Lady Qin didn't know was that the people in the compound had long been immune to this kind of thing. After all, Jia Zhang also used to curse and yell at people every day.
"Damn it, which grandson took our thermos?" After entering the house, Old Mrs. Qin asked her son while cursing.
Qin Guang shook his head woodenly. After he discovered that his thermos was missing, he searched in the yard for a long time but could not find the whereabouts of his thermos.
"I don't know, we don't know anyone in this courtyard!" Qin Guang said.
After walking around the room a few times, Old Mrs. Qin became angrier and angrier. She had just moved in and couldn't bear this kind of humiliation.
"Come with me for a trip." Old Mrs. Qin said without question.
"Where are you going? I have to go to work soon!" Qin Guang asked.
"No one will die if you delay for a while. Aren't you worried at all that our thermos is lost?" Mrs. Qin scolded.
Qin Guang could only put on his coat silently and help Old Lady Qin out the door.
When the people in the yard saw that the old lady stopped scolding, they thought that Old Lady Qin had admitted it. Everyone was guessing who was so wicked as to steal someone else's thermos.
But I didn't expect that Mrs. Qin would go and ask for help directly.
When every household in the courtyard had prepared breakfast and were eating, Old Lady Qin and Qin Guang came back with two people, who were Director Wang from the Street Office and a staff member of the Street Office.
Yan Fugui suddenly noticed someone coming outside while he was eating.
"Look, look, why is Old Lady Qin silent? It turns out she went to look for someone!" Yan Fugui shouted at the third aunt, and the third aunt also hurried to the window and looked out.
Lin Tian got up a little early today. Just now, Lin Tian heard Old Lady Qin cursing in the front yard, but Lin Tian was busy cooking and did not go over to watch the fun.
"Is anyone there? One person from each family please go to the front yard!" Lin Tian and Wang Bingbing had just finished their meal and were cleaning up the dishes when they heard someone shouting outside the door.
"Got it." Lin Tian didn't go out, but just shouted in response.
"What's going on?" Wang Bingbing asked.
"It seems that something was lost at the home of the new old lady Qin." Lin Tian said.
"Then go quickly and come back to clean up later." Wang Bingbing said as she put her things down.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you going to work? Pack your things first." Lin Tian said.
After hearing Lin Tian's words, Wang Bingbing got everything done at lightning speed and waited for Lin Tian to go out.
Lin Tian had no choice but to speed up.
When he arrived at the front yard, Lin Tian saw Director Wang, Old Lady Qin and their family of three standing at the gate of the compound.
"Who are these two people?" Wang Bingbing asked in a daze.
"Director Wang from the street, have you forgotten that when we got married, we went to give Director Wang candy? Our mother knows her." Lin Tian said in a low voice.
Wang Bingbing seemed to suddenly realize something and said, "I was wondering if he looked familiar. How come the street director came here just because something was lost?"
"Just watch first and don't talk." Lin Tian pulled Wang Bingbing and signaled her to watch the fun first and not gossip here.
Wang Bingbing immediately stood there quietly.
The street office worked much faster, and within a few minutes people from every household came over. Qin Huairu was originally the one who wanted to come to the Jia family, but Jia Zhangshi, out of guilt, also came along. However, she hid far behind the crowd and did not move forward, for fear of being discovered.
"Good morning, everyone in Courtyard 95. The reason I called you all here so early in the morning is that something very serious has happened in our courtyard." Director Wang said very seriously while looking at everyone in the courtyard.
"Mrs. Qin and her family just moved into our No. 95 Courtyard, and a theft happened. This is unheard of."
"Of course, maybe someone's kid was playing a prank and hid the things, but no matter what, I hope you will take the initiative to step forward and return the things to the owner. If you step forward now, I can let bygones be bygones, but if I find out, you won't be treated the same way you are now." Director Wang kept glancing left and right at the crowd.
After a long while, no one said anything.
"Is this a misunderstanding? Mrs. Qin, are you sure you brought the thermos when you moved in? We've lived in this courtyard for so long and nothing has been lost!" Yi Zhonghai stood up and said. He felt that he still had to speak. If the street office confirmed that someone really stole things in the courtyard, the reputation of this courtyard would be in jeopardy.
The reputation of a thief is even worse than that of two thugs in the yard. This reputation is too bad.
"Impossible! My son and I were using them last night, and then we left them at the door. Someone must have stolen them." Old Mrs. Qin shouted. Although Old Mrs. Qin had no actual evidence, there was no doubt that it was basically done by someone in the courtyard. Who would be a thief who ran into the courtyard in the middle of the night to steal two thermoses?
