Chapter 1258

His jacket pockets and pants pockets couldn't hold any more, so Banggeng stuffed a few more handfuls into his chest, and only then did he slip home, holding his stomach and still wanting more.

"What good things did my eldest grandson get?"

"The Xu Damao family locked the door, but there were dates drying on the windowsill, so I grabbed a few handfuls."

"Dates! Whoa! So many! My eldest grandson is really promising!"

Returning to the room, Banggeng took out the red dates, handful after handful, making Jia Zhangshi bloom with joy.

Jia Zhangshi said while eating: "This dog Xu Damao, with so many dates at home, doesn't even know how to send some to our family."

Banggeng ate the red dates: "Grandma, don't rush to eat them yet. Hide all the dates; don't let my mom see them, otherwise she'll start nagging again."

Jia Zhangshi replied: "Yes, yes, yes! Hide them first! Hmph! Your mom is also stubborn! Our family is so difficult, what's wrong with taking some things! Neighbors should help each other! Those who have good living conditions should help our family in the first place; what's the big deal about taking some things from them."

School was suspended every three days, which gave Banggeng plenty of time. Usually, when the residents went to work during the day, Banggeng, who had no class, would return to his old profession.

He and Jia Zhangshi cooperated with each other, one keeping watch and one taking action.

The two of them had almost visited the entire Sihe Academy; as long as it was something they could take, they wouldn't be polite.

Scallions, ginger, garlic, coal balls, thread ends—they even took firewood.

But Banggeng didn't take much, only a little each time, and many residents didn't pay attention.

Some residents found that things were missing and went to the three uncles to complain, but they couldn't find evidence of Banggeng stealing things.

So much so that Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi were almost on their way to getting rich.

After hiding the stolen red dates, Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi ate them happily.

Qin Huairu returned from washing clothes and frowned at the date pits on the ground: "Banggeng! Where did the dates come from?"

Banggeng: "I picked them from outside."

Qin Huairu: "Picked them from outside? You only went to the toilet today; how could you pick dates in such a short time?"

Banggeng: "I picked them yesterday, I just didn't take them out."

Qin Huairu: "Don't let me know you're back to your old habits, otherwise I'll break your hand."

Jia Zhangshi shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you spouting! My eldest grandson is promising! If you look for trouble again, believe it or not, I'll slap you!" ===== CHAPTER 1260 =====
