Jiang Miao and Shen Yanqing met with Zhang's wife Shen Yingxue, and were very anxious when they learned that Zhou Ling and Daya were missing.
"Mom, eldest sister, Da Lang Erlang has already gone to look for someone. Let's go home first and ask someone to go out to look for him together. We also have to report to the officials. If they are really human traffickers, they must have a hiding place. We have to ask the officials to help with this. .”
"Miaoya is right, let's go back first."
Mrs. Zhang helped Shen Yingxue, who was unconscious, to walk home. Zhou Ling was her heart and soul. If she really got lost, Shen Yingxue would not dare to think about the consequences.
Guo Zhao carried the two girls to the door of Shen's house. He looked at the door plaque.
"Is this it?"
"Yeah!" Zhou Ling and Daya nodded, and when they got off him, they called the door.
"Ling'er?" Shen Yingxue, who was not far away, saw Zhou Ling at a glance. She rubbed her eyes and almost cried with joy. Zhou Ling ran all the way and threw herself into her arms.
"mother!"
"Where did you go? I almost scared my mother to death."
Shen Yingxue held her tightly in his arms with a frightened expression on her face.
Zhou Ling was hugged so hard that she couldn't breathe. She patted her mother's back and broke away from her arms.
"Sister Da Ya and I were kidnapped by human traffickers. Fortunately, this official uncle saved us."
Zhou Ling pointed at Guo Zhao behind him and said to Shen Yingxue with a smile.
Only then did Shen Yingxue notice him. The man was standing in front of Shen's house with his arms folded. He was tall and mighty, with a cold face and a strong sense of intimidation in his eyes. He looked very fierce.
If it were normal, Shen Yingxue would stay away from him if she bumped into him, but now that he was Zhou Ling's savior, Shen Yingxue was only grateful.
"Thank you, sir, for saving my daughter..."
"Yeah." Guo Zhao nodded lightly. It was troublesome to see this little lady crying and weak, but for the sake of the little girl, he still couldn't help but say a few more words.
"The lantern festival is crowded with people, so since you are taking your child out, you should keep an eye on her."
"Hey, I know."
Guo Zhao saw that she had listened and said nothing more. He nodded and said hello to Shen Yanqing and others behind him, and then strode away. Mrs. Zhang had a good impression of Guo Zhao, and a tall and mighty man like this was the most reliable.
"I don't know if this official has a family..."
She looked at Guo Zhao's back, then looked back at Shen Yingxue and murmured.
Shen Yingxue was so busy trying to comfort Zhou Ling and Daya that she didn't hear what her mother said. If she knew what Mrs. Zhang was thinking, she would definitely shake her head and refuse.
She likes the appearance of a white-faced man, and has a deep fear of such a tough man, let alone a man with a noble status, how could he like her.
The Shen family went to the lantern festival and their moods were ups and downs. When Boss Shen found Dalang Erlang, they closed the door and went to bed.
When the two young ladies encountered such a big thing, Mrs. Zhang was afraid that they would have nightmares at night, so she asked Shen Yingxue and Mr. Xu to take more care of them. Shen Yingxue would do it without her mother telling her, but Mrs. Xu didn't care and felt that it was a big deal. Now that she is rescued, she will definitely be fine.
"She's strong and nothing will happen to her. Mom, don't worry."
"You are such a mother-in-law. Your daughter was almost kidnapped and you didn't even care."
Mrs. Zhang couldn't bear to see her favoring boys over girls. Mrs. Xu shrank from being scolded and didn't dare to talk back.
"Then I'll keep an eye on her at night."
"That's pretty much it." Mrs. Zhang was satisfied.
"You guys should go to bed early. The two little girls should be tired by now."
"I know, mother."
After Shen Yingxue washed Zhou Ling, she carried her back to bed. She lay next to Zhou Ling and patted her to sleep. Zhou Ling was her baby. She had to take care of her more carefully in the future. What happened today must not happen. It happened again.
"Mom," Zhou Ling suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Shen Yingxue.
"Um?"
"I like today's uncle. He is braver than dad. Traffickers are afraid when they see him."
Except for Zhou Shui'an, the male elders Zhou Ling had met were only a few men from the Shen family. She didn't know there were people so powerful that they could scare bad guys with just one look.
Shen Yingxue thought about Guo Zhao. He was indeed brave and intimidating. She patted Zhou Ling.
"Go to sleep."
As soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, Jiang Ji's dim sum shop opened.
Jiang Miao deliberately let go and handed over all the business of the shop to Shen Yingxue. Whether it was the sales at the counter or the management of the helpers, Shen Yingxue still had a lot to learn. First, she had to maintain her authority.
"Miaoya, I'm a little nervous."
The two stayed in the shop, and Jiang Miao taught her some sales techniques and language. Shen Yingxue remembered them firmly, but she still stumbled a bit when speaking them out.
"It's okay. Just practice more and you'll be fine once you get used to it. Besides, the supply of snacks in our shop exceeds demand, so just be more enthusiastic and kind. There's no need to put too much pressure on you."
"Okay, let me try!"
Shen Yingxue took a deep breath and watched Jiang Miao open the door. There was already a line of people outside the shop. The door had been closed for more than half a month during the New Year, and the guests couldn't wait to have snacks.
"Ms. Jiang, are you open now? I haven't had a good year without being able to eat your snacks for so long!"
"It's just that if I had known earlier, I would have bought more. I wouldn't have had enough."
"Haha, I made more this time, so you can buy more."
Jiang Miao laid out the snacks and gave her place on the counter to Shen Yingxue. She glanced at her encouragingly and Shen Yingxue nodded.
"Happy Chinese New Year, ladies and gentlemen... Here are the new snacks for today, cake rolls and wife cakes..."
"This name is really weird. What is a wife cake?" The guests asked curiously. Shen Yingxue's lowered eyes suddenly raised. She was not prepared to be asked. She wanted to ask Jiang Miao for help, but Jiang Miao nodded at her. He opened his mouth and spoke silently.
"Don't panic, you can do it."
Shen Yingxue tried her best to calm down her breathing, and a smile appeared on her face.
"This snack is called wife cake because there was a loving old couple. The husband was seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment, so the old woman sold herself as a slave to make snacks for the master's family to make money. Later, when the husband recovered from his illness, he was redeemed. Then the old woman made My favorite snack is wife cake..."
She finished speaking smoothly and felt relieved. Most of the guests were women. When they heard such stories, they were moved by the couple's relationship and couldn't help but buy more.
"Then give me ten wife cakes..."
"I want ten too!"
Business was going very well. Shen Yingxue spoke and did things more and more smoothly. She was no longer as cautious as she was at the beginning. When all the snacks were sold out and all the customers left, she was still a little unbelievable.
Is the woman we just talked about really her?
"Miaoya, me?"
Jiang Miao knew she was excited and said with relief.
"I just said that my sister can definitely do business. Isn't this selling well?"
