Three hundred and fifty one socks(1/2)
Xiang Hongyin called several community workers to help keep an eye on Xu Biao's family of three.
She pulled Hu Pingtao aside, lowered her voice, and asked anxiously: "Xiaohu, can you give me an idea, how to deal with this matter?"
She was referring to the parking fee.
Hu Pingtao thought for a moment and said seriously: "Let's do this! I will help Sister Xiang solve today's matter. I will help persuade the injured car owner, and the specific compensation will fall on Xu Biao's side. But this situation...
I’m referring to the surrounding parking areas. Sister Xiang, please find someone to seal off all parking lots now.”
"Banned?" Xiang Hongyin felt a little confused.
Hu Pingtao explained in a low voice: "This area is not a planned parking area. Except for the land downstairs in your community, I don't think other locations can be used for parking. People like Xu Biao are just a piece of meat, and they are detained.
It's a common occurrence for him. So even if the community doesn't allow him to continue charging parking fees, I guess it won't have any impact on him."
"I've seen this kind of people a lot, and verbal warnings don't work. I told you at the time, and he can do whatever he wants after that. I suggest that you, Xiang, set up obstacles on the surrounding land, build a blockade stake, and use iron
Chain up."
Xiang Hongyin asked thoughtfully: "You mean to close all the surrounding areas and no longer use them for parking?"
Hu Pingtao nodded and raised his finger to Xu Biao, who was surrounded by people in the distance: "This kind of person is a scoundrel. As long as the land is empty, once a car comes in, he will still ask the car owner to collect money. Sister Xiang, you guys
The community usually works from 9 to 5, and there is no way to supervise the morning and evening hours, and even during normal working hours, if Xu Biao is caught, he will almost always have to find someone to collect money. You can't control it at all."
Xiang Hongyin frowned: "I finally understand what you said before. Alas... I really can't control it!"
Hu Pingtao further explained: "So people like Xu Biao can only be supervised by law. Since people in the community won't listen, we can only set up blocking posts to completely stop him from collecting parking fees."
"If the car can't get in, he won't be able to collect money, and there won't be any disputes."
Xiang Hongyin still frowned: "But if this happens, he will definitely be dissatisfied and destroy these sealing piles!"
Hu Pingtao smiled and said: "Then let him destroy it. Now there are surveillance everywhere, no matter day or night, as long as it is photographed, it will be evidence. Then it will not be an ordinary verbal dispute, but a crime of "damaging public property".
The public prosecution agency will directly enter the process and impose a sentence and a fine. I wonder if he dares to be so arrogant!"
"This closed pile costs dozens of yuan, but as long as it is labeled as "public property", it will be worth several thousand yuan after it is put into the ground. Two piles are nailed to an empty parking space, and just destroying one of them is enough for three thousand yuan.
Standards for filing a case. When the time comes, Xiangjie, your community only needs to provide physical evidence, and our police station will be responsible for solving it."
Xiang Hongyin showed a smile on his face; "That's great. Xiaohu, I really have to thank you."
Hu Pingtao smiled and said: "It should be. They are all serving the people. We will still have many things to help each other in the future."
…
After returning to the office, as soon as I walked into the office, I saw Ding Jian and Yin Li sitting on the chairs directly opposite.
Hu Pingtao was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
The fat on Ding Jian's face trembled when he smiled. He took Yin Li's hand and shook it in a showy way: "I'm taking a day off today to go shopping with my wife. I passed by here and came in to take a look."
Tan Tao raised the milk tea in his hand: "Here, he brought this, and you also have a share."
Hu Pingtao walked to his desk, looked at the unopened cup of milk tea on the table, raised his hand and looked at Ding Jian, and said with a smile: "It's better to have a wife! You have completely changed your gender."
I used to be a stingy guy, and I rarely had a meal from you all year round. Now I sneak over here every now and then, haha... Not bad! Not bad!"
Ding Jian was so elated by the praise that he grinned and said, "This kind of thing depends on the person."
With that said, he turned to Yin Li, who was sitting next to him, and said flatteringly: "My wife is good, I am good, hehehehehe..."
Hu Pingtao felt very bitter looking at this scene. He looked at Ding Jian and said seriously: "I suspect you are driving, but I have no evidence."
Yin Li covered her mouth beside her and laughed so hard that she was trembling with laughter.
Tan Tao was about to finish his cup of milk tea. Not to be outdone, he said: "My wife is also very good to me. She bought me two dozen socks last week. Brand-name and high-quality socks."
As he spoke, he stretched out his right foot and pulled up his trousers, revealing the white cotton socks.
Ding Jian looked at the socks on his feet, then raised his head and stared at Tan Tao with an unpredictable look: "Two dozen? So many?"
Tan Tao didn't think there was anything wrong with this: "Yes! Look clearly, these are real brand-name products, costing more than ten or twenty yuan a pair!"
Ding Jian had a mean smile on his face and asked: "Old Tan, do you usually buy your own clothes, shoes and socks?"
Tan Tao subconsciously answered: "Buy it!"
Ding Jian continued to ask: "Let's talk about socks! What price do you usually buy? I mean when you buy them with your own money."
Tan Tao's face became a little unnatural, but he still answered honestly: "About... ten yuan for two or three pairs... Anyway, they are not expensive, and the quality is not bad."
Hu Pingtao had a lot of contact with Ding Jian when he was in the criminal police team, and they had talked about similar topics. He quickly vaccinated Ding Jian: "Hey, that's about it. Let's talk about something else."
Tan Tao's curiosity was aroused. He turned to Hu Pingtao and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? I don't think these socks are anything!"
Hu Pingtao really wanted to change the subject: "It's nothing, it's really nothing. Fatty Ding is a bit mean-mouthed sometimes. Don't listen to his nonsense."
Tan Tao just wanted to break the casserole and ask the truth. Hu Pingtao couldn't find the answer, so he turned to Ding Jian and asked: "Tell me, what's wrong with these socks?"
Ding Jian smiled "hehehehe": "Old Tan, you don't usually go to shopping malls, do you?"
Tan Tao didn't think there was anything wrong with this: "Yes!"
Ding Jian said: "You have the same habit as me before. You want to buy things conveniently and cheaply, as long as you can wear them. Especially socks, three pairs for ten yuan."
As he said that, he pointed at Tan Tao's feet: "Your wife bought these socks. They are famous brands and cost more than ten yuan a pair. In your opinion, they are very expensive, right? But in fact, this is because of your wife's guilt.
The best expression.”
Tan Tao was stunned, and it took him a long time to react: "Wait a minute, what do you mean by this? What does my wife's guilt state mean?"
Ding Jian asked confidently: "Did your wife just buy an expensive set of cosmetics recently? Or a very expensive dress? Or jewelry, a bag or something?"
Tan Tao thought for a moment and nodded doubtfully: "She bought two pieces of clothing last week. They were quite expensive. They cost more than 8,000 yuan in total."
Ding Jian slapped his thigh: "That's right. Let me tell you, married women are like this. Whether buying cosmetics or clothes, after spending a lot of money, as long as you don't completely lose your humanity... Well, or I should say you don't lose your humanity.
Because of their conscience, they are more or less frightened in their hearts."
When Tan Tao heard this theory for the first time, he opened his eyes wide and asked, "Afraid?"
Ding Jian's face was serious: "Yes, I am indeed scared. Because this is really too wasteful! So they will have the mentality of wanting to compensate. But it is definitely not appropriate to continue to spend too much money, and they cannot do this. So buy some for your husband.
Something that seems good becomes the best choice in that scene, at that time, and in that psychological state."
Hu Pingtao raised his hands to cover his face and turned around.
He had heard this theory mentioned by Ding Jian before, more than once.
Tan Tao finally understood. He lowered his head and looked at the socks on his feet: "So she bought me this?"
Ding Jian said matter-of-factly: "Yes! So I will buy you a few pairs of high-quality socks at this time. When I get home, my waist will be strengthened and I will find a sense of balance in my heart. The money in this family is not mine."
If one person spends it, you also have a share."
Tan Tao leaned back, his expression a little dull: "...wait...please let me be quiet...I have to think carefully..."
Ding Jian added fuel to the fire beside him: "What you are buying here is not socks, but your conscience!"
Hu Pingtao couldn't listen any more. He turned to Yin Li, who was smiling from ear to ear, pointed at Ding Jian, and said earnestly: "Now you should understand why this guy couldn't find a girlfriend before, right?"
Yin Li covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I have received the certificate anyway, so I can only accept it!"
Hu Pingtao said seriously: "Buy him more pairs of socks."
Yin Li laughed "haha": "Okay! Definitely!"
…
A month later, Ding Jian and Yin Li held their wedding.
There was no big fuss. I only invited people I knew well and some relatives to have a meal.
On weekends, Hu Pingtao takes turns to rest.
I received a call from Ding Jian early in the morning and made an appointment with the two families for dinner.
Hu Pingtao agreed and hung up the phone. Su Xiaolin listened and complained hurriedly: "I forgot to tell you. I have a friend who made an appointment the day before yesterday and we are also having dinner tonight."
Hu Pingtao was a little confused: "Your friend? Male or female?"
As a husband, I am very sensitive to gender.
"Female, my college classmate." Su Xiaolin explained: "Congrui, she came when we got married. You have seen her."
Hu Pingtao finally found a fat woman with fair skin in the memory screen.
"Wait, I remember you said last time that she was divorced?"
Su Xiaolin nodded: "I divorced the year before last."
From Hu Pingtao's point of view, it doesn't matter whether Cong Ruili or not. The important thing is that there is a conflict in the dinner date between the two parties. He was a little confused: "What should I do now? You didn't tell me before, but I promised Ding Jian."
Su Xiaolin has always been very imaginative: "How about this, let's make an appointment together and just treat it as an introduction to each other, so we can get to know a few more friends?"
Hu Pingtao expressed doubts about this: "Is this good? Ding Jian doesn't know Cong Rui."
Su Xiaolin had a very special idea: "There is no problem with Yin Li. I know her temper."
Hu Pingtao thought for a while and nodded: "Okay then! I guess there will be no problem with Ding Jian. At worst, we can treat him to the meal tonight."
