"Dad, Mom, I don't want to spend my whole life fishing in Suzhou River, so why don't you just let me go to school?" A Xiu begged.
Aunt Xinghua said: "Axiu, it's useless for a girl to study. You should learn to be a good girl at home. I'll find a match for you in a few years. Marrying into a good family is better than anything else."
Axiu remained silent, but her expression showed uncompromising.
Xu Siqi asked: "Axiu, what grade are you in now?"
Axiu said dullly: "I am in the third grade of junior high school and will be promoted to the fourth grade in the second half of the year."
"What's so good about reading, I don't like reading..." Abao said naively.
Xu Siqi looked at him and said with a smile: "If you don't study, what are you going to do in the future?"
Axiu curled her lips: "He dreams of buying a big boat and one day go fishing in the Huangpu River."
Hearing his sister mention the Huangpu River and the big ships, Abao's spirits suddenly lifted, his eyes flashed with a strange look, and his whole person looked different.
Xu Siqi thought for a while and said, "How much is the tuition for a year in high school?"
Axiu shook her head: "My mother knows, she went to school and asked once."
Aunt Xinghua said from the side: "The tuition fee is 12 yuan a year, and the student uniforms in winter and summer are 3 yuan. Plus miscellaneous expenses, it must be 20 yuan."
Axiu muttered: "It's only 20 yuan. There are more than 40 yuan in the money box at home..."
"Mom said, that's the money I saved for my wife, no one can touch it!" Abao said with a smile.
What they said in private chat was revealed by their son. Both Mizugen and his wife were a little embarrassed, and the cabin fell into silence for a while.
Axiu lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes, tears falling down her cheeks. She was treated unfairly by her parents, and the little girl felt extremely aggrieved.
Xu Siqi thought for a while and said, "Let's do it this way. I'll pay for Axiu's tuition for her high school education. In a few days, I'll send over this year's tuition."
Shuigan and his wife were surprised and happy, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing the joyful look on his sister's face, Abao, who is childlike in nature, clapped his little hands and shouted: "Smile, sister is smiling!"
Axiu wanted to be reserved, but finally couldn't hold it back, burst out laughing, reached out and hit her brother lightly.
She wiped her tears, stood up, faced Xu Siqi, and bowed respectfully.
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "Axiu, if you don't want to spend your whole life fishing on the Suzhou River, then you have to study hard."
Axiu nodded vigorously: "I will!"
…
By this time, the rain had gradually stopped.
A group of patrolmen, wearing raincoats, walked towards us from a distance.
Xu Siqi stood up, looked at the Shuigen family, and said, "I have to go. Thank you for tonight."
Shui Gen rubbed his hands and said, "If anything, our whole family should thank you. I won't say anything... By the way, little brother, I always forgot to ask, what is your name?"
Xu Siqi said: "My surname is Xu, Xu Siqi."
Coming out of the cabin, Xu Siqi looked around, jumped onto the embankment, and said to the patrol leader leading the team: "I'll give you a moment and help me find something."
The inspector was stunned for a moment, but upon closer inspection he saw that the person was the new Inspector Hua, and he quickly bowed and saluted: "Inspector Xu, what are you doing..."
"It's a long story. Let me go look for something first. It's near the pavilion."
"what's that?"
"gun."
"ah……"
"I accidentally dropped my gun just now."
"I understand. Brothers, follow me!"
After walking more than ten meters away, Xu Siqi turned around and took a look. On the stern of the fishing boat with wind chimes hanging on the mast, a thin figure stood alone in the night wind.
…………
After finding the pistol, Xu Siqi returned to the Licha Hotel under the protection of the patrolmen and handed the miniature camera to Zhou Weilong.
As soon as he saw the miniature camera specially designed for spies, Zhou Weilong knew that an operation that could use this method must not be a small matter.
After the reception, Xu Siqi returned home alone. When he arrived at the door, he remembered that Gu Qingcheng had taken the key away.
He found a piece of hard wire, poked it in the keyhole a few times, and listened intently to the sound of the lock spring to judge which part should be poked.
It was now past 11 o'clock at night, and the corridor was silent. A few minutes later, there was a soft click and the door opened.
Xu Siqi breathed a sigh of relief. The manufacturing process of door locks is becoming more and more sophisticated. It is not as simple as the old-fashioned door locks in the past, and it often happens that it cannot be pried open.
"Inspector Xu, what are you doing?" A voice suddenly sounded.
Xu Siqi turned around and saw that at the far corner of the stairs, the dancer Agui was walking slowly towards this side, carrying a pair of high heels.
"It's you, you scared me."
"I'm not a ghost, what are you afraid of?"
Agui threw her high heels on the ground, took out a cigarette from her bag, lit one, and said, "Is that your girlfriend?"
"Why don't you wear shoes?"
"The heel is broken."
"oh……"
If Agui was wearing shoes, Xu Siqi would definitely hear the footsteps.
"Ask you, what were you poking at the door just now?"
"Oh, the door lock screw is a bit loose, please tighten it with your hand."
"Inspector Xu, the screws in my house are also loose. If you are free, can you help me tighten them?"
"It's very late, another day."
"Look how scared you are, coward!" Agui had obviously drunk too much and was a little unsteady on his feet.
Xu Siqi smiled, stepped into the house, and closed the door behind him.
He reminded himself in his mind that he must be more careful when doing things in the future. This is a drunk Agui. If he were replaced by an experienced agent, he would definitely be suspicious of himself.
No matter how extensive a military student's knowledge is, it is impossible to learn lock-picking techniques.
There was a note left on the coffee table, with a neat line of small regular characters on it: The food is in the pot. I will come back tomorrow and I took the key. Qingcheng.
Xu Siqi was about to throw the note into the wastebasket when he saw a line on the back of the note: The food was cooked by my cook. I don't have that ability. Did you get deceived by me?
At the end, I signed the signature and drew a smiling little girl, which was lifelike and very interesting to look at.
In the kitchen steamer, there is a large bowl of braised turtle, a plate of stir-fried black ginseng with shrimps, a plate of stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, a bowl of clam seafood soup, and two white flour steamed buns.
Xu Siqi knew that this must be Gu Qingcheng's whim, so he called the cook at home and cooked four dishes for himself.
Unfortunately, Xu Siqi didn't want to eat a bite. He just wanted to have a good sleep. This night was simply more tiring than military school training.
After simply taking a hot bath and taking two pills to prevent a cold, Xu Siqi lay on the bed and soon fell asleep.
