Chapter 8: The Thief

On Saturday, Sui Yihuan plans to go to the town bookstore to buy some books on traditional Chinese medicine.

She has finished reading the Shennong Materia Medica Sutra that she brought back last time, and now she can recite it word for word.

In addition, tomorrow is Mother's Day, and I want to use the money I saved to buy something for my mother.

But if you say that you will go by yourself, your mother will definitely not be at ease.

No matter what, I can only use the moon to stand on top first, think about the rhetoric, and hurriedly run to find Zhou's mother.

"Mother, I made an appointment with Yueyue to go to her house to study together today." Sui Suihuan said to Zhou's mother without a red face and a heartbeat.

As soon as Zhou's mother heard that she was going to study, she agreed without thinking about it, and asked her to go to the bookstore to buy a few books for Sui Suiping when she came back, and use them for school in two days.

Sui Suihuan refused the ten yuan handed over by Zhou's mother, and said directly, "Mother, no, I'm so rich, I can't spend a lot of money to buy a book." ”

Zhou's mother thought that there should be no shortage of money in Sui Suihuan's hands, so there was no hard fortress for her.

Sui Yihuan carried his beige floral crossbody bag and rode a freshly repaired bicycle to the town.

didn't go to the bookstore for the first time, but went to buy gifts for Zhou's mother first.

When she arrived in the town, Sui Suihuan handed over the car to the uncle who was watching the car, planning to walk and look at it, but she was not sure what to buy.

It just so happens that there is a market in the town today, and there are more things to choose than those common things in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and if you are lucky, there may be surprises.

As the situation was well established, the small vendors on the street gradually became diverse, at first they were all cowering, and now they all began to sell, and the cries came and went, so lively.

I haven't been to the market since I came back.

With the passage of time, this kind of market full of people has become rare, and most of them are specially planned commercial streets and food streets, which look neatly arranged and beautiful, but they are always a little less human.

Sui Suihuan's big bright eyes flipped around, but they didn't stop, and with a light-colored lace top, the whole person looked extraordinarily lively.

Suddenly, Sui Suihuan's steps stopped, she saw a very satisfactory gift, and felt that Zhou's mother would definitely like it.

The stall owner was a middle-aged woman, her hair was coiled behind her head with an ordinary wooden hairpin, and she didn't sell it like the other small vendors around, but just kept her head down and was busy with the work in her hands.

It was a small stall selling ornaments, and the difference was that the ornaments were made by the stall owner.

Sui Suihuan likes the most eye-catching hairpin on the stall.

The main body of the hairpin is peachwood, with auspicious cloud patterns, and the stall owner's flower wrapping process is very exquisite, but this hairpin has nothing to do with the flower wrapping.

The whole is done in one go, without a trace of splicing, and the auspicious clouds are wrapped in silver.

Sui Suihuan thought that her mother must look good with it, so she asked the stall owner, "Sister, how do you sell this hairpin?" ”

The eldest sister heard the voice and looked up, it was a beautiful girl, fifteen or sixteen years old, but the hairpin that looked at did not match her, so she wanted to recommend another one with a bright color that looked more suitable, "Xiao Nizi, why don't you look at this one in my hand, this one is more suitable for you." ”

Yi Yihuan knew when she heard what she meant, so she explained with a smile, "Sister, you misunderstood, isn't Mother's Day coming?" I was thinking about buying something for my mother, and when I saw this after your stall, I thought it was quite suitable, and I didn't want to buy it for myself. ”

"I'm sorry, little Nier, I thought you were going to buy it for yourself!" The eldest sister smiled awkwardly and put down the hairpin in her hand.

"You have to ask for ten yuan for a root in your hand, which is all made by yourself, and this wood is all cut from the mountain by my family, and the pattern is polished and carved by yourself." The eldest sister explained.

Ten yuan is not cheap, and the average salary of people in the city is only forty yuan

If you look closely, you can find that this hairpin is newly made, and Sui Suihuan did not hesitate at all, "Okay, help me put it up, and the one you recommended to me just now, how much is it together?" ”

When the eldest sister heard this, this was a big customer, and she couldn't close her mouth with a smile, "Okay, a total of eighteen yuan, don't you want to give a gift?" I'll give you two more small boxes that I made at home. ”

There were only two hairpins, and Sui Suihuan's purse was deflated by one-third, and she came out with a total of sixty yuan, which was the pocket money she had saved for a long time.

Sui Suihuan took the box and put it in the floral bag he carried, and the first task was completed.

Then she wasn't in the mood to go shopping, and went straight to the biggest bookstore in town.

Of course, Sui Suihuan didn't forget to buy a book for Sui Suiping, and picked out two exercise books for him by the way, Sui Suiping knew that it must be a bitter melon on his face.

Seeing that it was still early, Sui Sui Huan was relieved to find the books he wanted in the bookstore on traditional Chinese medicine.

The previous turmoil destroyed many literary classics, including a large number of ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine.

So much so that it is so difficult to find a book on Chinese medicine in the bookstore now, and there is only Shennong's Materia Medica that she has finished reading on the shelf.

Sui Sui Huan had no choice but to return empty-handed, thinking that the next time he had the opportunity to go to the county to find it, he would go to the city if he couldn't do it.

On the way back, I don't know why, the flow of people around me began to crowd up, Sui Suihuan didn't pay attention, the bag strap was cut, and a hand stretched out from behind, and took away Sui Suihuan's bag with one hand.

Before anyone around him could react, Sui Sui Huan exclaimed, "Catch the thief!" My bag! The thief snatched my bag! ”

The sound of catching the thief was heard, and the crowd stirred. Some people looked at their bags, and some enthusiastic people hurriedly chased the thief, and Sui Yihuan also followed.

As soon as Sui Suihuan turned left, he saw that the alley was empty, and he didn't see a single figure, only the debris piled up in the corner, and the lonely yellow floral bag on the ground.

Sui Suihuan looked around, but still didn't find anyone, walked over and picked up the bag, and found that in addition to the broken bag belt, the contents were still there, and Sui Suihuan was puzzled.

I thought to myself, "This thief doesn't look down on the money in my bag?" ”

At the same time, at the bend at the end of the alley, the people on the ground were tied up with flowers, their mouths were stuffed with rags, they writhed wildly, and their faces were full of horror.

There was a breezy young man standing next to him, as if everything was none of his business, only the gray eyes were rippling.

Seeing Sui Suihuan coming out of the alley, he lifted the people on the ground and walked to the police station.

At the entrance of the police station, the police rushed out when they heard the voice, and they only saw the people tied up on the ground, and the wooden sign on their bodies that read "This is a thief".

If you look closely, isn't this a fugitive being chased? I've been looking for a few days, but I didn't expect to appear at the door today, if you know which hero does good deeds without leaving his name, this must not send a big pennant.

How could this police officer know that this good man was just troublesome.

Sui Suihuan rode back to his home, thinking about what happened today and couldn't help but be glad, it was not because of the money, the main reason was that it was not easy to find such a satisfactory gift.

Thinking so, Sui Suihuan arrived at the door of the house and hurriedly got out of the car to tidy up his clothes, for fear that something inappropriate would be seen.

It's not very easy to explain where the strap is broken.

"Mother, I'm back!" Before Sui Huan entered the door, Zhou's mother heard the familiar voice.

"I'm in the back room!" When Sui Suihuan heard this, he went straight to the back room.

"Mother, guess what I brought you, you must like it very much!" Sui Huan's eyes were full of anticipation.

Mother Zhou listened and bought a gift for herself, it was really full of joy, "Buy me anything, I don't need anything, you can buy it for yourself." ”

"Mother, I fell in love at a glance, I think my mother must look good with it." Sui Suihuan took out the unique auspicious cloud hairpin.

Mother Zhou was really full of surprise when she saw it, and Mother Zhou liked it at first sight.

In Sui Suihuan's memory, Zhou's mother rarely seems to show such a childish expression, and she seems to be much younger.

Sui Sui Huan looked at the person in front of him, and the smiling dog's eyes didn't know when they were soaked with tears.

Without thinking about it, he hugged Zhou's mother directly, "Mother, you have worked hard all these years." ”

Chen Huailan hugged the girl in her arms and patted her back one by one, just like when she was a child, "Mother is not hard, as long as my daughter grows up happily." ”

When he came back to his senses, he blushed, he was dozens of years old, and he was still like a child in his mother's arms, which was strange and shy.

Zhou's mother was about to cook, but Sui Suihuan suddenly remembered that her little brother's information book was still in her bag and she hadn't taken it out!

"Your father and your brother went to the city to buy a car, and today we will be at home, let's make some noodles and eat." Zhou's mother walked to the stove house as she spoke, planning to make lunch for the morning.

Sui Suihuan remembered that he still had something to give Lu Yanzhou, so he casually prevaricated Zhou's mother, and ran out of the door quickly.

Mother Zhou heard the voice and shook her head, she was still a child after all.

When Sui Suihuan arrived at the door of Lu's house, he didn't go in directly, but stared at Lu Jinbao, who was squatting outside the door and playing with mud.

Take advantage of the fact that no one is paying attention around.

"Lu Jinbao! Sammo Lu! ”

Lu Jinbao, who was playing with mud, heard as if someone was calling him, looked up and found that he didn't see anyone, scratched his head with his muddy hand, indicating that he didn't understand, and then continued to lower his head and play with his mud.

When Sui Huan saw this scene with his own eyes, his cleanliness fetish attacked, his little face wrinkled, he really wanted to turn his head and leave, thinking about what he was doing, but he still held back.

Continue to call Lu Jinbao, "Lu Jinbao, there is sugar!" ”

The little fat man, who was still addicted to mud, quickly stood up when he heard the voice, and looked around for the sound, and his eyes seemed to be glowing green.

Finally, he saw Sui Huan standing behind him at the base of the wall with a complicated face, and he thought of the two White Rabbit toffees last time.

Suddenly, those eyes were even brighter, and there was only one slit left in the originally fat eyes, and it looked like it was not small at this time.

Began to run in the direction of the first birthday.

Sui Suihuan watched Lu Jinbao run towards her like a clay figure, her scalp was really numb, and she really wanted to run away, but she didn't forget her purpose.

"Stop! Stand there, or I won't give you candy to eat. Sui Suihuan looked at the little fat man who was about to arrive in front of him, and hurriedly shouted to stop.

When it comes to sugar, Lu Jinbao is really obedient, and he stands motionless and stops in place, for fear that the white rabbit in his mouth will fly.

"Lu Jinbao, you go and call your eldest brother out." Sui Suihuan thought about it and added, "It's Lu Yanzhou, you go and call, the three white rabbits in my hands are all yours." ”

Lu Jinbao turned his head and went into the house, not forgetting to retort, "That monster is not my brother." ”

Sui Suihuan was really angry when he heard this, and couldn't help but think, fortunately, it is not your own brother, who wants to have an unlucky brother like you.
