Chapter 159 The Crying Child Gets Candy
This painting is really interesting and funny. Even before I saw it, I knew it was probably Xie Yi complaining about studying.
Sure enough, when I opened it, I saw three pages filled with writing:
Wife, how have you been these days? Do you miss me? I do.
First of all, let me report that I am training seriously every day and doing my best. I estimate that in a while I will be able to save enough money to buy you a gift.
What it is specifically has to be kept secret for now, but I think it should be something you like, so you can look forward to it.
Spring is here, and the food on the island has improved a lot recently. I've written down the delicious ones, such as crispy leek pancakes, bamboo rice...
We also caught a lot of seafood, including clams, fish, shrimp, and kelp seedlings.
There will be more delicious food in summer, and various fruits will be ripe. You can come and try them yourself then.
I am also reading those books, and I force myself to read for an hour every night before going to bed.
It’s still quite difficult, and I’m learning it slowly.
While I was studying, Xiongchuan was on the upper bunk, eating melon seeds with his feet up.
Seeing how leisurely he looked, I immediately threw the book at him and beat him up.
You should also eat on time at home and don’t work too hard. Your health is the most important thing.
We have a new cat in our house, right? Is Dad particularly enthusiastic about making wooden toys for her?
I guess it did, but something went wrong, right?
By the way, I ate up all the pickles and dried meat that my mother sent me last time. I asked her to send me some more when she is free.
The letter also contained some interesting things that made people laugh.
She didn't dare laugh too loudly at night and could only laugh secretly by herself.
After reading a few pages of the letter, my cheeks were almost stiff from smiling.
Pick up the pen and start writing a reply:
Comrade Xiao Xie, I have received your letter.
I'm really looking forward to the gift mentioned in the letter and I really want to know what it is.
But we will know in the summer. I am looking forward to seeing you next time.
I still have to praise you. You are worthy of being Comrade Xie who loves to study. Muah, thank you for your hard work.
My aunt and Doudou came to our house for lunch today, and my mom also made a lot of delicious food.
By the way, when I went to Cherry Valley with my mother to dig wild vegetables, I happened to come across a fish nest. You will be surprised when you see our harvest.
Our dad made a wobbly cat bed for Xiaoju. She loves it and stays in it every day.
I miss you so much too. I really hope I can see you every morning when I wake up.
But I think the realization of this wish is not far away.
After finishing writing, I stretched and went to bed, having a good night's sleep.
…
On the island.
Xie Yi was sitting and reading a book. After a while, he scratched his head and looked at the small photo frame on the table like a pervert.
Inside was a family photo, polished to a shine.
Xiong Chuan, who was on the upper bunk, was so upset when he saw this: "Xie Dayi, is it really that serious? You write a letter home for such a trivial matter."
"Go away. How can a man without a wife understand this feeling?"
Xie Yi knew that he was away from home all year round, and if he didn't write letters back more often, his wife might forget him.
This won’t work. A crying child gets candy, and a man who talks to his wife won’t have too bad luck.
"Chuanzi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if you don't work harder, Dr. Chi might already be dating someone next year."
Xie Yi's words touched Xiong Chuan's heart.
"Oh, am I not trying my best?"
"Brother, give me some advice. I'm planning to treat Dr. Chi to dinner next week. What do you think I should wear?"
Xiong Chuan straightened up, scratched his hair irritably, and turned his head to ask Xie Yi for advice.
"It doesn't matter how nice your clothes are. You have to impress her with your actions. Doctor Chi doesn't care much about these fancy things."
"You're just a rough guy, pretending to be a scholar. Wouldn't it be exposed in a second?"
"I don't think lesbians would reject a sincere man."
Xie Yi thought about his daily interactions with Xiaotong and gave Xiong Chuan some advice.
"Okay, I'll go see Dr. Chi tomorrow. I'll just express my feelings directly without any empty words."
Xiong Xiongchuan finally plucked up the courage to confess.
"If it doesn't work out, forget it. Doctor Chi is a good comrade. As long as she is happy, that's all that matters."
Although I said this, I still felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.
"First, make your position clear. If they don't want to, don't force it. This kind of thing still depends on fate and can't be forced."
Xie Yi looked at Xiong Chuan's pessimistic expression as he was about to suffer a broken heart and spoke to comfort him.
"I know. They are so outstanding. I must become even better to qualify."
Somehow, Xiongchuan still felt a little unconfident.
Although he is carefree, he is sometimes quite sensitive to people's emotions.
"No matter what the result is, it's better to try than to keep it in your heart."
Xie Yi transformed into an emotional master tonight, and actively gave Xiong Chuan advice based on his experience.
One dares to speak, and the other really dares to listen.
…
One night, when Lin Xiaotong was coming home from get off work, she was riding her bike past the entrance of the alley.
I found a man looking around at the gate of the compound, but he left after a short while.
I waited at the door, but the person never came back.
Forget it, let’s go home and eat first.
"Mom and Dad, I just saw a man looking around our compound. I wonder what he's doing?"
Lin Xiaotong took a bite of pickled garlic and thought of this at the dinner table.
"Is there anything wrong again? Could it be that those guys are causing trouble again?"
Gao Xiulan frowned, a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
I wonder what's going on this year? That group has become increasingly restless, and even Qian Yu's school has been partially closed.
I heard from Afen that many children have returned home, and those who have connections have found jobs and no longer waste time in school.
The school is in a mess, and those people are used to being domineering.
He doesn't know how to restrain his behavior at all. I heard that the person causing trouble is from the family of the top leader.
"I don't know when it will end."
Gao Xiulan feels that everything is inconvenient now, and there are people who are overreacting everywhere.
"Don't worry, even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."
Xie Da Jiao picked up a piece of pickled celery for her with chopsticks and comforted her.
"Yeah, I won't say anymore, it's really annoying."
"By the way, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family has a boyfriend. I guess there will be another happy event in our courtyard."
As Gao Xiulan thought about this, a smile appeared on her face again.
"Really? Who is Shizuka-san and I?"
Lin Xiaotong came over anxiously.
"He seems to be from their factory, Xiao Li from the security department."
Gao Xiulan also heard from others that the two families were about to meet their parents-in-law.
"If we really get married, both of us will work, so our life won't be bad."
Xie Da Jiao also watched the girl grow up. It was really not easy for Zhao Jingxiang along the way.
The guy was already engaged, but it was disrupted by his younger sister.
But good things come to those who wait.
"That girl is worth it too."
…
Jin Qiaofeng in the south was so anxious that she kept complaining at home.
"You're twenty-five, twenty-six, and in the blink of an eye you're twenty-seven, then twenty-eight, and now you're twenty-nine. You're almost thirty!"
