Ever since Silly Zhu came to school, Yi Xuexi had been waiting to watch a good show.
After waiting for a week or so, it was the twelfth lunar month. There were only two weeks left before the year-end exams. Yi Xuexi finally heard Yan Bugui's shout on a weekend morning.
"This is bad, this is bad. Everyone, hurry up and come out. Hurry up and take a look. There's a thief in our courtyard.”
Following Yan Bugui's shout, many people who had woken up early came over, including Yi Zhonghai. He had to go to the factory to work overtime today, so he had to wake up early on the weekend.
"What's going on? Why did a thief enter?”
Yi Zhonghai was a little surprised. Although it was getting more and more chaotic outside, it was still very normal in the courtyard. At least, there was no deliberate prank like in the factory.
Yan Bugui pulled Yi Zhonghai out of the front yard.
When Yi Zhonghai arrived outside, the first thing he saw was a bicycle with its front wheels removed.
This bicycle naturally belonged to Yan Bugui. When he bought the bicycle, Yan Bugui had specially asked for a bicycle ticket from the school. Then, he had saved up three months of his salary to buy a bicycle. At that time, Yan Bugui was extremely proud. He wanted to let everyone in the courtyard know that his family was the first to buy a bicycle.
Seeing how proud Yan Bugui was after buying a bicycle, Xu Damao also bought one. From then on, there were two bicycles in the courtyard.
However, until now, there were only these two bicycles in the entire courtyard.
Usually, if everyone had something to do, they would borrow Xu Damao's car. As for Yanbu Gui's car, no matter how much face you had, you couldn't borrow it.
As for the tricycle that First Uncle had borrowed previously, he had borrowed it from the street office.
In order to keep up appearances, Yan Bugui's bicycle had been placed outside the courtyard so that pedestrians could see that he had a bicycle.
While Yi Zhonghai was looking at the bicycles, Yan Bugui was still talking to the people who had come to watch the show.
"There was a thief in our alley. I saw that the front wheel of my bicycle was gone early in the morning. If I didn't lock it, the entire bicycle would have been gone.”
Hearing Yan Bugui's denouncement, the people gathered around couldn't help but nod their heads. A bicycle now was more fashionable than a car in the future.
"Looks like we really have to strengthen our defenses. I think we should lock our courtyard door like other people's.”
Yi Zhonghai could not help but say in a deep voice.
Because of Shazhu's reputation as a thief, the people in the nearby courtyards had already started to lock the doors. However, because everyone in the courtyard knew that Shazhu stole the chicken as a scapegoat, they naturally did not lock the doors.
"How about this? I'll go to the police station first and ask them to try their best to help look for him.”
"Thank you for your hard work."
On the way to the police station, Yi Zhonghai was also thinking about who might have done this.
Although Yan Bugui said that it was someone from the outside who came to steal the bicycle, Yi Zhonghai felt that it must have been someone from the courtyard. If it was a thief who specialized in stealing bicycles, how could he have been stopped by a small lock? He must have picked the lock and pushed the entire bicycle away.
In the quad, Yi Xuexi would definitely not do this. Yi Xuexi was at home last night and did not even leave the house, so he definitely did not do it.
As for the children of the Yan and Liu Families, there was no need for them to do this. They were children who hung out with each other all day long. How could they steal from their own family?
Then there was the stick. Although the stick liked to steal things, he could at most steal some things. He did not have the ability to steal bicycle wheels. This required a specialized wrench.
The only ones left were Xu Damao and Silly Zhu. Xu Damao was the most unlikely because he was watching a movie in the countryside. Besides, he had his own bicycle, so why would he steal someone else's? Therefore, the most likely person was Silly Zhu.
Although Shazhu was a chef, he was still a steel mill worker. He could still remove a front wheel. Moreover, because he usually had to repair furniture, he had a wrench at home.
And if he remembered correctly, Yi Xuexi had mentioned during dinner two days ago that Silly Zhu had followed the things to school. He must have asked Yan Bugui to do something, but Yan Bugui did not do it, so Silly Zhu bore a grudge.
Since he knew it was Silly Zhu, the rest was easy.
If it was in the past, he would definitely help Silly Zhu to cover up this matter. After all, he and Aunt One were still counting on Silly Zhu to retire in the future.
But now, with Yi Xuexi as his biological son, he did not need to count on Silly Zhu. Moreover, because of the house, he did not even speak to Silly Zhu now. Naturally, he did not have to protect Silly Zhu.
After making up his mind, Yi Zhonghai arrived at the police station.
Speaking of which, the Nanluoguxiang Police Station was where Liu Jiacai was stationed. However, because it was the weekend, Liu Jiacai was on leave today.
After knowing that Liu Jiacai was not around, Yi Zhonghai was relieved.
Although He Yushui and Silly Zhu had already severed their relationship, they were still siblings. If Liu Jiacai found out about Silly Zhu, it would not look good.
Although Liu Jiacai wasn't around, the police officers knew Yi Zhonghai. They had all been present at Liu Jiacai's wedding. In addition to Chen Nuanjin and Li Baocai's ninety-nine, as well as the fact that Liu Jiacai had bragged about Yi Zhonghai's 200-yuan red packet to He Shuiyu, he was even more generous than his own parents. They had a deep impression of Yi Zhonghai.
As soon as Yi Zhonghai arrived, several young men rushed to pour him tea.
"First Uncle, why are you free to come over?”
A patrol officer who was only a few years older than Liu Jiacai said enthusiastically.
As long as they served Yi Zhonghai well, Liu Jiacai wouldn't be able to thank them. Some of them were already thinking about whether they should eat hotpot or something else.
Didn't Liu Jiacai say that he had a few hundred yuan in his hands now? It was a good time for Liu Jiacai to treat them to a good meal and let Liu Jiacai bleed a little. It just so happened that Director Zhang had asked Liu Jiacai to go to the office recently. It seemed that Liu Jiacai would become a full-time employee at the end of the year. If he didn't bleed now, it would be difficult in the future.
"It's nothing serious. Old Yan's bicycle had its front wheels taken off, so I came to see if I can get it back.”
Yi Zhonghai added.
"You've met Old Yan before. He was the one who sat at the fifth table when Xiao Liu got married a few days ago.”
After Yi Zhonghai said that, everyone had an impression of the teacher with glasses.
Compared to Yi Zhonghai, the few of them did not have a good impression of Yan Bugui. At that time, Yan Bugui even brought his daughter-in-law and three children with him. When he left, he even brought a lot of figures with him. This kind of style of doing things was not pleasing to the eyes.
However, even if they didn't like it, it was still a gift of 20 yuan. This was much more than their two or three yuan gift, so they immediately began to guarantee it.
"So it's Third Uncle. Go back and tell Third Uncle not to worry. We'll definitely be able to find the bicycle wheels for him by noon at the earliest and evening at the latest.”
If it was someone else, the people in the police station might not be so concerned. However, since the one who lost the things was Yan Bugui, who they had seen before, and the one who came to report was Yi Zhonghai, the father-in-law who Liu Jiacai had named, they would not let it go.
It was just a bicycle wheel. It wasn't difficult to get it back.
"Can you really find it?"
Yi Zhonghai still didn't believe it. After all, that wheel couldn't speak. Moreover, he didn't know where it was thrown by Silly Zhu. Even if he wanted to find it, it wouldn't be that easy.
"Of course we can find it. First Uncle, go back and tell Third Uncle to wait at home. It's best if he can boil some hot water. When we bring the wheel back, we have to ask for a cup of tea from them.”
A few young officers patted their chests and promised.
After leaving the police station, Yi Zhonghai didn't know why the officers dared to make such a promise.
However, even if he didn't know, he still went back to the courtyard and told Yan Bugui about it.
"Really? Did they really say that the front wheel could be found today?”
Just like Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui did not believe it. If the front wheel was so easy to find, he would have gone out to look for it long ago.
"Why would I lie to you? Just do as they say. Boil the water and wait for them to send the wheels back to you.”
Although Yi Zhonghai didn't know what they were going to do, he believed that the officers could do it.
After all, back then, there was a sect in the capital and they did a lot of evil things. The eldest senior brother of the sect was said to be invincible and could take people's lives with just a hand.
In the end, he was still taken away and shot by two patrol officers.
"I don't believe it. I think they're lying to you.”
Yan Bugui still couldn't believe it. He had seen those few patrol officers at He Yushui's wedding banquet before. He didn't believe that those skinny patrol officers were so capable.
"If you don't believe it, then don't believe it. Let's just wait and see.”
Seeing that Yan Bugui was insistent, Yi Zhonghai did not say much. It was getting late and he had not eaten breakfast yet.
When he returned to his room, Aunt Yi had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for him. As for Yi Xuexi, he had already put on his clothes.
During dinner, Aunt Yi could not help but tell Yi Zhonghai about her guess in the morning.
"Xuexi's dad, when Yan Bugui was looking at the bicycle in the courtyard, Silly Zhu went over and said a few words. From what Silly Zhu said, why do I feel that he was the one who took the wheel away?”
In the entire quad, Aunt Yi was probably the best at listening to others.
The reason was very simple. Before Yi Xuexi was born, Aunt Yi had heard many strange things in the open and in the dark, so she naturally developed this skill.
"I also guessed that it's most likely Silly Zhu, but this matter is none of our business, so don't spout nonsense in front of the Yan Family.”
Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but warn Aunt Yi. Yan Bugui's family wasn't people who would remember favors.
"Don't worry. I won't say anything in front of their families.”
She rolled her eyes at Yi Zhonghai. Aunt Yi was not a fool. Whether it was Yan Bugui's family or Silly Zhu, they were not good people. Therefore, it was better to stay as far away as possible.
After Yi Zhonghai finished his meal and went to work, Aunt Yi started to clean up. After delivering breakfast to the old lady behind him, she emptied the toilet bowl in the old lady's room.
After she was done with the old lady's matters, Chen Jingjing and the Bao brothers also came.
Aunt Yi was sitting on the edge of the Kang, sewing clothes and watching the children do their homework. Or rather, Yi Xuexue was teaching the three children to do their homework and helping them correct their homework.
Aunt Yi knew a little about Yi Xuexi's ability. She had heard Yi Zhonghai mention that Yi Xuexi had scored full marks in the fifth grade papers.
She couldn't help but recall that ever since Yi Xuexi learned how to read at the age of three, he had been reading all kinds of books all day long. Not only did he read all kinds of novels, but he had even read Yi Zhonghai's fitter books once. Ever since he could write, Yi Xuexi's handwriting had been very beautiful, completely different from the crooked handwriting of other children.
Before school, they had specially invited He Yushui to teach Yi Xuexi. Initially, she and Yi Zhonghai had wanted Yi Xuexi to have something to do. However, in just two months, He Yushui could not teach Yi Xuexi anything. In fact, Yi Xuexi could even solve many problems faster than He Yushui.
She felt that Yi Xuexi's talent was definitely the reincarnation of a great scholar. It was a pity that there were no more examinations like in ancient times. Otherwise, Yi Xuexi would definitely be able to return as a top scorer and bring glory to the Yi family.
It seemed that they really couldn't rush to have a child. Widow Qin gave birth very quickly, but in the end, she gave birth to three hands. Compared to their Yi Xuexue, it was like heaven and earth.
What was meant to be in a person's life was what was meant to be. No one could take it away from him. Back then, the doctor had said that it was very difficult for him to have a child. In the end, who would have thought that not only did he have a child, but he was also a child who was so good at studying? He just did not know what Yi Xuexi would do when he went to university in the future.
Now, they were all workers, peasants, soldiers, and university students. No matter how good Yi Xuexi's studies were, he couldn't go to university.
However, it was useless to worry about this now. Since God had let Yi Xuexi go, he must have paved the way for him long ago. Perhaps when Yi Xuexi grew up, he would suddenly stop being a college student.
Moreover, since Yi Xuexi took the initiative to start school from the first grade, it might be God's arrangement for him to start from scratch.
Just as Aunt Yi was letting her imagination run wild, Yi Xuexi heaved a sigh of relief. He was finally going to finish the two test collections. He finally did not have to accompany the Bao brothers and Chen Jingjing every day.
In this month, he had to accompany them every day. This made Yi Xuexi feel that his intelligence had dropped a little. If this continued, his intelligence might really be the same as a six-year-old child.
After today, he would give a few more test papers for the three of them to consolidate. This way, they would definitely obtain good results during the exam.
