Chapter 125 Car Thief
Xie Yi drove Lin Xiaotong back to the compound, and ran into Diao Yulian as soon as he stepped through the gate.
When Diao Yulian saw the two men coming back, she snorted and said in a strangled voice, "Wow! What's in that sack? It's bulging."
Lin Xiaotong looked at Diao Yulian in surprise and said loudly, "Auntie, how come you can't see clearly from such a close distance? Isn't this just waste newspaper? I brought it back to paste on the wall to start a fire."
Diao Yulian stretched out her hand and said, "With so much, how big a room can be covered? Why not give me some? I just happened to be preparing to cover a room as well."
Xie Yi had a smile on his face, but his words were not polite at all: "Aunt, that's really unfortunate. I have all these things to use. I won't say anything more. My mother is calling me at home. I have to go back first."
Xie Yi and Lin Xiaotong walked towards the east room, and Diao Yulian's face fell behind them.
Gao Xiulan also heard the noise from the east and shouted from the doorway, "Xie Yi, hurry back! The stove is waiting for you! This kid has to keep me on the alert."
"Here it comes, Mom, the newspaper is here!"
Xie Yi pushed the bicycle into the house, untied the books tied to the front bar, and took out a stack of newspapers on top.
Gao Xiulan closed the door, leaving it a crack. Seeing two piles of books on the floor, she asked curiously, "Why did you buy so many books?"
Xie Da Jiao was sitting next to the coal stove, warming herself by the fire, and looking at Xie Yi with a suspicious look. She didn't think her son was a book lover.
Xie Yi was quite smart when he was in elementary school and his academic performance was good. After entering junior high school, he was always in the middle of the class.
Not to mention when I got to high school, the books distributed by the school were all brand new. The books I used after one semester were exactly the same as when I first received them at the beginning of the school year.
The Xie couple had originally been wondering if there could be a scholar in their family, but after seeing Xie Yi's achievements.
I can only comfort myself that it is good for the child to grow up healthy. Some things cannot be forced.
After all, to be honest, no one in the Xie family has ever been particularly good at studying.
He barely managed to finish the third year of junior high school, and then took over his father's class.
So it is understandable that Xie Yi has no mind for studying. Xie Da Jiao withdrew his gaze and continued to flip the steamed buns on the coal stove.

Besides, Gao Xiulan's family was poor, and girls there had no chance to go to school at all. After she married into the compound, she participated in a literacy class organized by the street. She gritted her teeth and persevered. After listening to the class, she went back in the evening and Xie Da Jiao taught her again.
She learned and forgot, and then forgot to learn again. In order to learn to read, she even bought a Xinhua Dictionary and persisted in doing so. Gao Xiulan, who originally could not read big characters, can now write letters and read newspapers. It was also a result of her hard work.
Xie Da Jiao said, "It's definitely not bought by Xie Yi. I guess it was Xiaotong who wanted to buy it."
"Dad, you are so smart. You guessed it right away."
After saying that, he went to the kitchen stove and used a ladle to scoop some warm water to wash his hands. Lin Xiaotong also came over, and the two of them moved their hands back and forth in the ladle.
Gao Xiulan looked at the two children who could play after washing their hands, shook her head with a smile on her face, sat next to Xie Da Jiao, and turned over the roasted sweet potatoes.
Lin Xiaotong and Xie Yi also wiped their hands and came over with small stools. The coal stove at home was basically on all winter.
This coal stove is quite old. It was bought in the second year after Gao Xiulan and Xie Dajiao got married. It is very durable. In winter, a kettle is placed in the middle, and steamed buns and sweet potatoes can be placed on the table next to it.
Xie Yi looked at the steamed buns that were slightly browned on both sides with envy. After they were cooked, they were broken open in the middle, with homemade pickled vegetables inside and a small dish of soaked green Laba garlic on the side.
A bite of steamed bun and a bite of garlic can reduce half of your worries.

Xie Yi: "Mom and Dad, it's time to eat. Come, I'll pick one for you."
He couldn't wait to pick up a steamed bun, which he had been thinking about while working outside.
Xie Da Jiao: "I'll eat it myself, you pick one for Xiaotong."
He likes to do it himself and eat some garlic first. It is crispy, sweet and has a little bit of the spicy taste of garlic.
Xie Yi didn't care and handed the steamed bun with pickled mustard greens to Lin Xiaotong, who was secretly poking at the roasted sweet potato with her hand.
He thought of frozen persimmons again and asked Gao Xiulan, "Mom, do we have frozen persimmons this year?"
Gao Xiulan took a bite of garlic and said, "Yes, they're on the windowsill. Go pick some and bring them back."
"Okay!"
He pushed the door open and saw a paper box covered with snow on his windowsill. He gently dug away the snow with his hands, revealing large yellow tomatoes.
I took four back, just one for each person. Before eating, you have to put the persimmons in cold water and stir them for a while before eating.
The frozen persimmons are now so frozen that only a bag of water is left. You can only carefully bite a hole in it with your mouth and suck the juice out until all the juice is sucked out.
Then I started eating the flesh inside. It tasted like ice chips in it. After chewing it for a few times, it felt a bit like eating a persimmon-flavored popsicle.
But I can’t eat too much because it’s too cold. Lin Xiaotong sat on a small stool and slowly ate the frozen persimmons.
"Mom, please bring me more pickles this time. The few cans I brought last time were eaten up a long time ago, and the bottle caps were almost licked clean by Xiongchuan and the others."
"Okay, okay, okay. As long as you don't mind the weight, it'll be fine. I also pickled Chinese mustard greens today. Your dad thinks they taste pretty good. You can take some with you."
"Mom, I want to eat stir-fried mustard greens with minced meat and corn porridge tonight."

"And the cold-mixed radish skins my mom makes are delicious too, they're crunchy."
"The sweet potatoes are baked and ready to eat. Be careful, they're hot. Please eat slowly, Mr. Xie!"
…
Wu Shengli was almost angry to death. He rode his bike outside for a spin today, holding his head high and grinning.
Suddenly I felt uncomfortable in my stomach, bloated and gassy.
Diao Yulian has been too lazy to cook fresh meals these days, so the family had leftovers from the previous few days for lunch. Maybe they had been left out for too long and were not very fresh.
He was so happy these days that he ate a few more pieces of braised pork at noon. Unexpectedly, his stomach started to protest at this moment.
"Damn that lazy bitch. I'll teach her a lesson when I get back. It hurts so much."
After cursing, I could only try my best to hold my buttocks together, and it took a while before I could ride to the public toilet.
His stomach was churning and he was so thirsty that his face turned blue.
I finally found a public toilet, but I couldn't hold it any longer.
He quickly got off the bike with trembling legs and casually locked it to the telephone pole next to him with an iron chain.
There are not many people in this alley, and the public toilets are not cleaned very thoroughly.
Wu Shengli was almost vomited by the fumes when he entered. He held his breath and walked quickly into the pit. He was pulling his belt in a panic, but he didn't expect to tie himself into a knot.
"vomit--"
He was so angry that he couldn't hold his breath. The energy of the cycle of reincarnation rushed straight to the tip of his nose, all the way to the top of his head and then rushed back to his nose. He really couldn't hold it in and retched a few times.
Fortunately, I finally untied my belt and could finally let out some release after holding it in for a long time.
I squatted down and heard a series of "thump, thump" sounds, and the expression on my face gradually relaxed.
He spent more than ten minutes in the toilet, and his legs were numb when he stood up.
He tied his belt with trembling hands, tying it into a slipknot specifically to prevent himself from having to go to the bathroom.
He limped out with a strange smell on his body. He was very weak now.
The footsteps seemed to be floating in the air, making no sound at all.
He just came out of the toilet and raised his eyes with bloodshot eyes. Two guys were stealing his bicycle!
How can this be!
His legs regained their strength, and he picked up a nearby troublemaker and rushed towards the two men.
He ran and yelled, "Thief, there's a thief! How dare you steal my bicycle? I'll beat you to death!"
