The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

"money?"

"Little brat, what do you need money for?"

Li Tian pouted, "Auntie, even when I'm little, I know that money is a good thing; it can buy what I need."

"Don't you like money?"

Li Siwen never worried about money growing up because she was never short of it.

Who doesn't like money?

"Go and take a look before you decide. It's up to you to make the decision," Li Yuanchao set the tone for the matter.

Li Siwen looked at Li Yuanchao, "Anything else?"

Li Yuanchao rubbed his nose. He had only been taking care of the child alone for a few days and didn't have much experience to share.

"Please take good care of things in your daily life, Aunt Zhang."

Li Yuanchao suddenly remembered that his younger sister also liked to eat cold food, and hurriedly reminded her, "You two should eat less cold food, less ice cream, and don't always eat chilled watermelon."

"Brother, it's the hottest time of the year, not the dead of winter. If we don't eat cold food now, when will we?"

Li Siwen protested loudly.

"I didn't say you can't eat it, but you absolutely can't eat too much, Tian Tian is still so young."

"Alright," Li Siwen relented, considering the responsibility of raising the child alone.

After dinner, Li Yuanchao went back to his room to pack his luggage.

Li Siwen was also busy. In addition to asking Aunt Zhang to prepare some food that Li Yuanchao could take with him, she went to the service department herself.

We need to prepare some things for Li Yuanchao, and also bring some gifts for our eldest sister.

It was just too rushed, so I couldn't prepare much.

Around 10 o'clock, Li Yuanchao called a car from the security office, not letting Li Siwen and the others go to drop him off.

Li Siwen didn't know how to arrange her life, so she just let Li Tian do her homework first.

In the afternoon, after the two woke up from their nap, Li Siwen rode her bicycle with Li Tian and went out.

It's so boring to stay cooped up at home all the time when it's a rare break.

"Tian Tian, ​​you can't get your legs too close to the tire."

Li Siwen's bicycle was a brand new women's bicycle without a front crossbar, so Li Tian could only sit on the back seat.

Li Tian had no experience riding on the back of a bicycle.

But looking at those spinning wheels, one can imagine the pain of a little foot getting caught in them.

Knowing that it would hurt, one naturally wouldn't dare to be careless.

Li Siwen took Li Tian to the nearest department store. Beijing is a big city with a lot of people, so there is more than one department store.

Shopping is a woman's nature.

Li Siwen was no exception.

Li Tian also enjoys shopping.

The selection of goods is too limited these days, there's not much to browse.

The aunt and niece started browsing from the first floor. Since they didn't have any particular purpose, Li Siwen would stop and look at anything that looked interesting.

Li Tian couldn't see the items on the counter; she would only let Li Siwen hold them up for a quick look if she found something that particularly interested her.

Most of the time, Li Tian just observes people.

Men and women, young and old...

"Little Aunt..."

Li Tian deliberately stepped on someone's foot to walk past and then grabbed Li Siwen's hand.

He pulled her around so she had her back against the counter.

"You little brat, you stepped on my foot."

Even a small child would feel a lot of pain if they hit someone like that in the middle of summer.

Li Siwen apologized repeatedly.

But when she felt Li Tian push her wallet into her pocket, she realized that something was not so simple.

Li Siwen scrutinized the young man in front of her.

On a weekday, there aren't many people shopping, so a young man standing out is quite noticeable.

But these past few years have been somewhat unusual, with many educated youth returning to the city without jobs, and quite a few people in idle positions.

"Comrade, which unit are you from? I've already apologized, what more do you want?"

"Keep your little thing in check," the man said, making his escape as he saw that Li Siwen had become alert.

Li Siwen found the sound unpleasant and wanted to chase after them, but Li Tian reached out and stopped her.

There's no point in arguing with someone like that.

Arguing back and forth only makes you angry for no reason, and in the end, nothing will be resolved.

"Tian Tian, ​​is that person a thief?"

Li Tian nodded, thankfully she was a little further away and saw the person's little actions clearly.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll lose money today.

Encountering this situation, Li Siwen lost her mood for shopping and only bought two bottles of soda before leaving.

"Oh no, I've lost my license plate and keys."

Li Siwen searched her body thoroughly but couldn't find it.

For safety reasons, she left her bicycle at the parking lot.

Without the key, there's still a way to figure it out, but without the parking permit, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the bicycle back.

Li Tian was somewhat annoyed; she had discovered it too late.

"Auntie, shall we go check if the car is still there?"

Li Siwen nodded, then, without even bothering to drink her beverage, pulled Li Tian toward the parking lot.

"Stop! You, the person pushing the bicycle, stop!"

"Catch the car thief!"

"That's a car thief!"

The man in front of him got on his bike without looking back and rode away quickly.

No matter how hard Li Siwen shouted, it was no use.

On such a hot day, there were hardly any people on the streets.

"Auntie, have some water to soothe your throat, don't rush."

Bicycles are considered valuable items in ordinary households.

The Li family isn't short of money for a car, but losing something would make anyone feel very upset.

Li Siwen gulped down half a bottle of soda in one go.

Once the initial agitation subsided, I calmed down.

"Let's go, let's go with my aunt to report this to the police."

Li Tian obediently stepped forward and took Li Siwen's hand.

I might as well go and take a look at the police station of this era.

Li Siwen asked around and found out that the nearest police station wasn't far away.

The two then walked over hand in hand.

Not knowing who to look for, Li Siwen went inside and randomly stopped a man in uniform.

"Comrade, my car has been stolen. I'm reporting it to the police."

"Your bike's stolen?" The man, expressionless, turned and called out, "Xiao Liu, register this for me."

The man pointed again to Li Siwen and then left in a hurry.

Li Siwen approached the desk of the police officer surnamed Liu.

Name, address, occupation, and other basic information are filled in.

Then he described the process of the car being stolen again.

"Comrade, I've written everything down. I'll let you know if there's any news, but it's not very optimistic."

Li Siwen hadn't expected this. "Does that mean it's gone forever?"

"They'll modify the stolen items before selling them as quickly as possible, making it difficult for us to catch them red-handed."

"However, there's a big operation ahead, specifically targeting bicycle theft cases. Hopefully, we can catch those bike thieves."

Li Tian disagreed and offered a reminder.

"Uncle, that man was going to steal the wallet, but I saw him and he didn't succeed."

"They might not be professional car thieves."

Officer Liu glanced down at the record and confirmed that the license plate and keys had been lost together, meaning it was indeed possible to ride the bike away without any special skills.

"We will pay attention and investigate."

"Thank you for your hard work," Li Siwen said politely before pulling Li Tian away.

Even if you report it to the police, they can't just take immediate action because of a bicycle; you can only go back and wait.

Fortunately, I still had money on me.

We were just about to find a tricycle to take them back.

A jeep pulled up next to Li Siwen.
