Shunzi, a young man from a village in the Northeast, was busy killing pigs in his yard to celebrate his father-in-law's 60th birthday. Unexpectedly, a farm spraying airplane suddenly crashed into a side house, causing serious damage to the house. The pilot Qingbao climbed out and explained that because the ground commander Lao Gao was drunk and neglected his duty, he mistakenly mistook the red peony pattern pants on the clothesline in Shunziyuan as a landing command flag, resulting in an operational error.
After Lao Gao arrived, he and Qing Bao blamed each other, and more and more villagers were watching. After the village cadre Zhang Jianguo arrived, he did not focus on the accident itself, but instead focused on the ownership of the red pants, which made Shunzi panic. Later, the farm staff came to claim for compensation, claiming that the red pants had misled the plane. Shunzi was so anxious that he lied and claimed that the pants belonged to the township elder's wife. The farm personnel were afraid of the township elder's power, so they not only gave up the claim, but also promised to repair the house.
The township chief and his wife soon came to confront each other, and Shunzi hurriedly passed the blame to Wang's second daughter-in-law. The three-way confrontation was chaotic, and the red pants accidentally fell on the head of the township chief. The scene was extremely absurd.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Hong Qi knew that there was no way to end it, so he packed up his luggage and ran away in confusion overnight. The next day when everyone was seeking revenge, they came to nothing, and the ownership of the red pants became an unsolved case.
More than a month later, Zhang Gan received a letter from Hong Qi. In the letter, Hong Qi admitted that the ownership of the pants was made up casually, that he was living a peaceful life outside, and that he was making fun of everyone. In the end, the pair of red pants was still hanging at the entrance of the village. No one claimed it and no one dared to take it off. It became the most absurd and unforgettable legend in the village, witnessing the oolong farce caused by a pair of pants that upset half of the village.
