It was better if Zuo Jingyan didn't shout. When she shouted, Li Er and Li San ran faster, for fear of being caught and beaten again.

Zuo Jingyan couldn't catch up, so she stopped and shouted:

"Give you money."

This sentence worked better than anything else. Li Er and Li San stopped all of a sudden as if a brake was applied under their feet. They still couldn't believe it, so they stood far away and asked:

"Is it true? Really give me money?"

Zuo Jingyan nodded: "I'll really give you money."

Li Er and Li San rushed back and asked again: "Really give me money?"

Zuo Jingyan gave them a definite answer:

"I can't find your brothers. I left the money with the boss. The clues you provided are useful. The owner of the house, Zuo Yuzhu, is the person I'm looking for."

"Look, we didn't lie, and you gave us a beating."

Li Er rubbed his thighs excitedly. With these fifty yuan, he and his brother would be able to go home in glory, and their parents would no longer scold them for not doing their jobs properly.

Zuo Jingyan smiled and said, "Let's go back and get the money."

Li Er and Li San followed Zuo Jingyan back to the noodle shop like the guardians on the left and right. Those people hadn't left yet, but when they saw Zuo Jingyan coming back, they gathered around.

This time Zuo Jingyan didn’t need to speak, Li Er and Li San helped to drive people away:

"Let's all go. This girl kept her word and gave the money to our brothers."

Seeing that Zuo Jingyan really gave money to others, those who came to provide information beat their chests and regretted that they were a step too late.

Li Er, Li San and others left, but they didn't dare to rush Zuo Jingyan. They looked at her weakly and innocently. Li San was ridiculous. His eyes couldn't open, turned red and shed tears, and he didn't want to leave.

Zuo Jingyan said to the noodle shop owner:

"Brother, give the money to their brothers!"

Li Er and Li San stared at the boss, fearing that he would misappropriate the money.

"Okay, I also told people to find them!"

The noodle shop owner agreed with a smile and went upstairs to get the money.

Zuo Jingyan understood her problem and went out to tear down the missing persons notice to prevent anyone from coming again.

After Li Er and Li San received the money, they nodded and bowed their thanks to Zuo Jingyan:

"Thank you, thank you. If you have anything to do, just ask me. When Lao Zuo comes back, we will tell him for you."

Zuo Jingyan really wanted to know what happened to her grandfather, so she asked Li Er and Li San:

"How do you know me...my cousin?"

"I fell into the river before, and it was Lao Zuo who rescued me. Later, when he saw our brothers wandering around and not doing their jobs, he often tried to persuade us. Seeing that we couldn't eat, he even asked us to go to his house to eat. Some people bullied him, and our brothers also risked their lives.

, not ambiguous."

Speaking of how he met Lao Zuo, Li Er's eyes were filled with gratitude, and his tone of voice was different.

He and his younger brother were scoundrels in the eyes of others, but Lao Zuo didn't dislike them at all. Even if he went to his house to eat, he would rather not eat it himself than give it to their brothers.

"If he is your cousin, our brothers...can't take this money."

After finishing speaking, Li Er seemed to have made a great determination. He took out the fifty yuan that was still warm and forced himself not to look at the money, so as not to be reluctant to part with it.

Li San stared at the money and forced himself to say:

"Yes, we don't want it."

Zuo Jingyan smiled. No matter how bad a person is, he or she has a good side, and no matter how good a person is, there is a bad side. This sentence is true.

Although Li Er and Li San were scoundrels and gangsters, and they wanted to force money before, they were loyal and returned the money knowing that they were grandpa's cousin.

Since these two people are not heinous people, but are still friends of her grandfather, Zuo Jingyan wants to help them and give them some advice to start a small business:

"Since I said I gave it, I will never take it back. You can keep the money and use it to do some small business. The country now promotes business and no one will cut off the tail.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. You can buy some socks, shoes, etc. to sell, or you can buy some pastries from the restaurant across the street. Go to the packaging factory to get some wrapping paper and wrap it yourself. Someone will buy it as a gift during the Chinese New Year. Business is about money.

Money, fifty can be turned into a hundred, and a hundred can be turned into a thousand, so don’t spend it indiscriminately.”

Hearing what Zuo Jingyan said, Li Er and Li San looked at each other. The two brothers were like lost children who suddenly had their future pointed out and had a goal in life for the first time.

Zuo Jingyan saw off the two brothers and asked the boss if he knew how to cook squirrel and carp, so that he could try Jiangnan's famous dishes before leaving.

"Yes, if you want to eat it, I'll buy fish right away. I cook it authentically!"

The boss smiled and agreed. He had just heard what Zuo Jingyan said to Li Er and Li San. He admired this young girl very much, and it was strange that he was reluctant to leave her when he knew she was leaving.

Zhao Xiaobao came back after buying the ticket. The boss also bought the fish and was cooking it in the kitchen. Zuo Jingyan stood aside and learned from it. She had seen this dish in a video, but she had not learned it so solidly by watching it with her own eyes.

.

When the boss saw that she was interested in learning, he was not stingy at all. While cooking, he told her what to pay attention to when making squirrel carp and how to make it more delicious.

Zuo Jingyan listened with great interest, and she really lived to learn.

When Zhao Xiaobao saw his sister-in-law in the kitchen, he stood at the door of the kitchen and reported to her:

"Sister-in-law, I have a seat on the eight o'clock train tonight."

"You even bought a seat? You're really capable."

Zuo Jingyan had already thought about going to a restaurant to hang out all night, but she didn't expect that Zhao Xiaobao got a seat?

Zhao Xiaobao said with a smile: "I met an old comrade when I was buying tickets, and he helped me through the back door."

Zuo Jingyan smiled and joked: "There are comrades traveling all over the world."

The squirrel and carp were ready, and Zuo Jingyan ordered four more bowls of noodles. She was so full after getting on the train that she went to bed.

The boss was a nice person. He knew they were taking the train in the evening, so he immediately steamed the steamed buns and packed a lunch box with braised braised meat for them to take with them on the road.

Together with the accommodation fees for last night and today, plus food money and food for the road, Zuo Jingyan gave all the money to the boss.

In the evening, when I boarded the return train, it was much less crowded than when I came from the north. There were not many people standing in the aisle, so it was easy to walk back and forth.

After getting on the train, Zuo Jingyan lay down on the small table to sleep. The whole journey was peaceful, but after riding the train for a day and two nights, Zuo Jingyan was still tired and had pain in her back and legs.

I went to the provincial capital to change trains. When I got off the train, I saw a man and a woman holding a sleeping child. The child was barefoot in the winter. There were not only thieves but also human traffickers on the train. Zuo Jingyan couldn't help but look more.

Two glances.

"Xiaobao, follow them."

Zuo Jingyan was afraid that she would lose her, so she asked Zhao Xiaobao to follow her. She was chasing after her when she suddenly heard a woman's heartbreaking cry:

"Who saw my child? Who saw my child?"

The two men and women holding the child quickened their pace when they heard the woman crying. Zuo Jingyan decisively called Zhao Xiaobao:

"Catch them."

Zhao Xiaobao rushed up with a few quick steps, kicked the man down, grabbed the woman holding the child, and snatched the child away.

Zuo Jingyan went back and brought over the woman who had left the child. When the woman saw the child, she hugged her tightly in her arms, cried and knelt down to kowtow to Zuo Jingyan and Zhao Xiaobao.
