Chapter 13 The Young Man Who Loves Reading

Gu Feihan was surprised: "You can't really drive it."

"I need to familiarize myself with the car model first." Su Xiaoli was not careless this time.

In her previous life, she had always driven automatic cars and only practiced manual transmission when taking the driving test at the driving school.

The mountain road was rugged and she was not familiar with the type of car, so she had to try and figure it out first.

"Have you ever learned to drive?"

The man's cognition was refreshed again.

Su Xiaoli didn't explain any further and carefully recalled how to operate the manual transmission brake device.

Perhaps the calmness on her face infected Gu Feihan, and the man handed the key to her as if by magic.

Su Xiaoli helped Gu Feihan sit on a rock on the side, and then she jumped into the driving seat to practice.

Gu Feihan looked at Su Xiaoli who was confident.

The girl seemed to have mastered the 212 quickly. Her eyes were calm, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

Twenty minutes later, Su Xiaoli had moved the bicycle and backpack into the trunk. The two of them sat in the driver and co-pilot seats respectively and fastened their seat belts.

There were a dozen or so miscellaneous books roughly stacked on the back seat, crisscrossed horizontally and vertically, layer upon layer.

Su Xiaoli's eyes swept across the spines of the books.

Chinese, English, semiconductor, mechanics, history...

"The Third Wave?" Su Xiaoli picked up an old English book and opened it.

"The Third Wave" is one of the representative works of the famous American scholar Toffler.

It was published in the United States in 1980 and immediately attracted global acclaim. It was introduced to China in 1983 and can be regarded as a guide for China's reform and opening up.

When China first opened its doors, this book had a huge impact on the Chinese people, and its influence continues into the 21st century.

Even Dr. Su, who studied medicine professionally, has heard of his name.

Toffler believes that human society has so far experienced the baptism of two waves of civilization.

The first was the agricultural revolution, and the second was the industrial revolution.

After entering the 1980s, a new wave of civilization was impacting all areas of society - electronics, information, aerospace and other industrial clusters. This is the third wave: computer civilization.

The future he foresaw decades ago: the informatization of industry and commerce, the prevalence of multinational corporations, and the popularization of SOHO (working from home) due to the invention of computers...

As time goes by, most of the prophecies have become reality.

"Can you still understand this book?"

"Well, this book is pretty good." Su Xiaoli thought to herself, it is more than just good, it is simply an instruction manual that can directly bring wealth.

It's rare for Gu Feihan to meet someone who likes the same book as him.

In an instant, he forgot the difference in age and experience between them and started chatting casually about the predictions in the book.

The old lady Su Xiaoli was wearing the coat of a 17-year-old. She drove carefully and tried her best to choose words that did not exceed the cognition of this age to respond to him.

Gu Feihan looked towards her.

Apart from being too thin and poorly dressed, the girl looked like the ladies in the ancient books her mother collected, as calm as the full moon.

She was completely different from the girls she grew up with.

No matter how pretty or pretty those girls in Beijing were, they all acted pretentiously when they were around him.

But Su Xiaoli is different. He speaks and acts in a clear, calm and composed manner.

How does that phrase go?

Yes, international style.

The key is that he can always hit the nail on the head on everything and anything he says can touch his heart.

There was a bump in the road and he suddenly realized his mistake. He coughed lightly and looked out the window at the mountains.

More than an hour later, Su Xiaoli parked the car steadily in front of the clinic.

She originally wanted to take Gu Feihan to the county hospital, but Gu Feihan insisted on coming to this clinic which was closer to her home.

"You've sent the Buddha to the west, but please bring me some food."

Su Xiaoli glanced at him, wondering if the mountain goods were too unfamiliar...

"Delivering meals is a separate price," she said in a cold tone.

Gu Feihan took out a stack of brand new "Great Unity" from her handbag and handed it to her. Each note was worth 10 yuan, and there were 100 notes in a stack. The sealing paper was not even removed.

"Pay for the descent expenses and meals, and please help me park the car at a suitable place." The young master smiled and was very good at ordering people around.

For the sake of unity.

Su Xiaoli narrowed her eyes slightly, gritted her teeth, and forced herself to hold back the eye roll.

"Let me make it clear first. There's not much good food in this poor place of ours. You can eat whatever you have at home."

Gu Feihan's eyes met hers, the corners of his lips curled up, with a hint of ambiguous cunning in his eyes.

It must be said that he did have some little thoughts of relying on Su Xiaoli.

Although he himself didn't understand why.

He could only blame it on the fact that he didn't know anyone else in this place. Although the girl in front of him had blackmailed him, she was still the only one he could trust.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Su Xiaoli helped Gu Feihan into the clinic and handed him over to Doctor Luo. She continued to drive the Jeep 212 back to the small bungalow.

It was noon and Grandma Su was helping in the kitchen in the front canteen and was not in the house.

Su Xiaoli first put away the 1,000 yuan, and then put the borrowed book on the bedside.

He found two cornmeal steamed buns to heat up, picked a handful of Chinese cabbage, fried it and put it in the lunch box, then turned around and drove to the health center.

Gu Feihan was sitting on a chair with his trousers completely stripped off. When he saw Su Xiaoli coming in, he hurriedly pulled out the trousers thrown aside to cover his thighs.

Doctor Luo is disinfecting his leg.

She was startled by Gu Feihan's sudden action. When she turned around and saw it was Su Xiaoli, she smiled.

"It's nothing serious. He can leave after disinfection and bandage. Take some rest these few days and don't get wet."

Su Xiaoli thanked Dr. Luo and placed the lunch box in front of Gu Feihan.

"I'll lend you my car to pick peanuts this afternoon and pick you up in the evening."

Without waiting for Gu Feihan, whose face was flushed, to look up and speak, she turned around and went to the nurse to pay the bill.

The young nurse was counting the money in her hands, but her face was filled with an expression of "Oh my, I can finally gossip."

"Sister Yu, why are you laughing so... weirdly?"

The young nurse's name was Feng Yu. She was the one who gave Su Xiaoli injections and changed her dressings during the days when Su Xiaoli had a fever. The two of them had become familiar with each other.

"Xiao Li, your boyfriend is so handsome, like a movie star." Feng Yu winked at her.

Forehead……

Your partner is very talented.

All of your family members are handsome.

"Sister Yu, he is not my partner. I am just doing him a temporary favor." Su Xiaoli decisively refused to hype up the couple.

Feng Yu's gossipy face immediately turned into "I understand, I understand, I understand everything."

"That's right, you're still in school. Wait until you're in college before you make it public. Then he'll have to wait two more years for you. Two dollars and three cents, just sign here."

Well, Feng Yu didn’t listen to her explanation at all.

Su Xiaoli was furious.

Well said, don't say it next time.

"Sister Yu, I'm going to pick the peanuts. I'll leave them with you first." Su Xiaoli paid the money quickly.

"Go ahead, go ahead. I promise to keep an eye on you."

Feng Yu raised his chin towards her.

Su Yuhe was not at home again. He had just gone to the county government in the morning to urge for funding, but the county was still vague.

He was so angry that he kept sucking his teeth, and went back to the orphanage to smoke in silence.

Seeing Su Xiaoli, Su Yuhe's face, which had been sullen all day, finally relaxed a little.
