April 27, 2004 Back from a walk after dinner, director Guo turned on the color TV, sat down on the sofa, grabbed the cigarette case on the coffee table, smoked a cigarette, then reached into the right trouser pocket for a lighter, fumbled for it, found nothing; pressed the left button There are no trouser pockets, and both hands press the jacket pockets, but there are none.He grabbed the briefcase and rummaged through all the floors, but there was still nothing, so he shouted to his family: "Hey, where is the lighter? Which of you took it?" Guo's wife said: "You are so old and confused, where you lost yourself, you still ask others!"

The daughter brought matches from the kitchen and lit a cigarette for her father: "Dad, don't worry, think about it slowly. When was the last time you used a lighter? Would you put it somewhere?" Director Guo shook his head: "No, I'm not stupid!" In the evening, Director Guo remembered that when he went to work in the afternoon, it seemed that Xiao He had used his lighter.When he went to work the next day, when he saw Xiao He, he asked, "Hey, have you seen my lighter?" Xiao He said, "No." Director Guo said: "Yesterday afternoon, you came to borrow a fire. After lighting the cigarettes, where did you put them? Don't worry, just think about it slowly."

Xiao He said: "Put it in your hand, don't you still light the cigarette?" "Oh, yes. Hey, who of you, have you seen it?" Director Guo tried to smile and said, "This is a gift from my comrade-in-arms. It is commemorative." Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. In the afternoon, Director Guo accidentally looked through the materials in the drawer, and suddenly saw a lighter caught in it.He glanced around, seeing that no one was paying attention, he hurriedly grabbed the lighter and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.When passing by the pond after get off work, he took out the lighter, played with it for a while, gritted his teeth, and threw it into the pond.

The next day, as soon as Director Guo came to work, Xiao He put a new lighter on his desk: "Director Guo, this is your lighter. I picked it up under your desk when I was sweeping the floor just now." November 22, 1989
