Xu Suizhu turned around and put her arms around his neck, looking into his tender eyes with a smile: "It seems that Director Lu got another bonus for his year-end performance report? Can you buy such an expensive gem necklace as soon as you want?"
Lu Chixiao laughed softly, hugged her slender waist and brought her into his arms: "Mrs. Lu is so smart, I can't hide anything from you."
Xu Suizhu wanted to roll her eyes: Someone's salary and bonuses are all in her hands. Without bonuses, how can she get the money to buy this or that?
"Don't you think it's not good for you to save it and use it as a private house for yourself? If you have a little money, you'll be a loser, even more so than me." She poked his chest in a funny way, "Aren't you afraid that your brothers will laugh at you if you tell me?"
"No matter what they do." He held her hand and put it behind her, then lifted her chin and kissed her. With their lips and teeth connected, you could vaguely hear him saying, "The whole person is yours, and the private room is also for you.
…”
Xu Suizhu was so dizzy from being kissed that she wanted to ask the boss if he had improved his love-talking skills? He is getting better and better at it.
…
The next day, the whole family set off to the county town for an exchange meeting.
The New Year's goods exchange meeting is naturally more lively than the usual festival exchange meetings. Everything is sold, from cloth, ready-made clothes, daily necessities to melon seeds, peanuts, dried dates and other New Year's goods. There are crowds of people in front of each stall, and it seems like they are free of charge.
Go in and buy.
Xu Suizhu casually visited a few stalls and saw that there were many types of goods, but the quality was not good. For example, satin, pillow covers, etc., had some minor flaws, maybe they were the backlog of processed products in the factory warehouse, and the products were all qualified.
There is no certificate. However, for ordinary people, the price is cheap, and even if they rush to buy it and find defects, they can still accept it. It is purely a matter of willingness to pay or to suffer.
"Huh? Where are the children? Where did they go?"
Mrs. Lu, Qu's mother, and Xu Xiuyuan looked at the fabrics at the cloth counter for a few times. Then they turned around and found that their sweet grandson who was playing with the windmill next to her was missing. Although they knew that Xiao Wu was following them every step of the way, they still couldn't help but worry. The exchange venue was packed with people.
If something happens, it won't be too late to feel the pain.
Lu Zhanfeng, Qu's father, and Lin Guodong were chatting and waiting. When they saw the women squeezing out of the cloth stall, they said, "Second brother, they are taking the children to the front first."
Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect so many people before I came here. The scene was quite chaotic."
"This year is more lively than in previous years." Xu Xiuyuan said.
Qu's mother said: "In recent years, the economic development momentum has been good. People's pockets are getting richer year by year. After a busy year, they just want to buy more New Year's goods to celebrate the New Year."
"That's the truth."
"Since you don't want to buy it, let's go ahead."
The three couples walked through the bustling crowd and saw several children of their own family, sitting on the steps in front of the bookstore, eating candied haws with newspapers under their buttocks.
"Huh? Whose child is this?"
As I got closer, I noticed that there was another girl, who looked to be no more than three or four years old. She was sitting among several children. She was also holding a bunch of candied haws in her hand, licking them contentedly like the little buns. Her expression was very cute.
When Xu Suizhu saw her mother-in-law and her group coming back, she explained: "I don't know which house she got lost from. If I ask her, she will just shake her head. I just want to wait here. If that doesn't work, I will send her to the police station."
"Probably she was separated from her family." Everyone looked at the little girl with pity, but didn't care.
There are too many people on the street. If it’s just an adult bringing a child to buy something, it’s really easy to get separated.
They didn't buy anything anyway, so they ordered a few pots of tea at the tea shop next to the bookstore, sat down to rest, and waited for the little girl's family to come find the lost child.
Children have to bring their own water.
Xu Suizhu unscrewed the large thermos kettle and poured a cup of warm water mixed with a few drops of basic nutrient solution.
This product was one of the first prizes she won after wearing it here. After taking it for a period of time according to the instructions, she found that her aunt was getting more and more punctual, and she no longer had unbearable pain during the few days of her visit.
The machine is conditioned, and the skin becomes smoother and more delicate.
Compared with basic health care solutions that can quickly heal injuries and illnesses, basic nutritional solutions are not as powerful. It only promotes body metabolism, and it takes time.
So after that, every time the seasons changed, she would add a few drops of nutrient solution to her family's diet. Needless to say, after persisting for four years, her family members were in excellent health, and no one caught a cold during the season changes.
Xu Suizhu brought a cup to the girl and said: "The candied haws stick to your teeth, drink some water and rinse your mouth."
The little bun also picked up the cup, gargled his mouth and drank water. Then he bared his two rows of white teeth and said to the girl: "Look, sister, my teeth are white and won't get cavities."
The little girl smiled with her two front teeth exposed, took the water glass and asked to drink it herself.
Xu Suizhu saw that she was holding her position steadily, so she had no objection.
Children are like this. It's the same boiled water. I don't usually see them loving it so much, but now they are eager to drink it. You have one cup, I have one cup. Soon, a large pot of warm boiled water was finished by them.
Fortunately, there is a toilet behind the tea shop, otherwise we would have to lead them to find the toilet.
So until noon, no parents looking for their children passed by the tea shop.
Lu Chixiao asked Xiao Wu to go to the presidium of the exchange meeting, borrow a loudspeaker, and broadcast a missing person notice on the spot.
At this time, someone came over in a hurry to ask, but what they were looking for was not a three- or four-year-old girl, but a six- or seven-year-old naughty child. There was even a simple and honest young man who said he was newly married a few days ago.
My little daughter-in-law got separated.
After several inconveniences, the little girl's family still hasn't arrived.
It seems that the only option is to go to the police station to seek help.
Everyone should stop hesitating. Maybe the girl's family will go to the police station to report the case if they don't find the child.
When they arrived at the police station, the police heard about this situation and squatted down to ask the girl a few questions. The answers she gave him either shook their heads or looked confused.
The police had no choice but to ask Xu Suizhu to fill out a form.
After filling out the form and about to separate from her, the little girl held up the uneaten candied haws in one hand and grabbed the hem of Xu Suizhu's clothes with the other hand, looking at her timidly with admiration in her eyes.
"Little sister, we are going home. Just wait here and the police will help you find your family." Xu Suizhu knelt down and comforted her softly.
The little girl still didn't let go.
Little Baozi touched the girl's head and said, "Little sister, don't be afraid. The police are very powerful and will help you find your parents soon. Now, this is for you! My mother made it herself.
It tastes so good! If you’re tired of waiting, just eat one!”
Little Baozi took out the last pack of candied olives in his pocket that he couldn't bear to eat, and reluctantly handed it to the little girl.
The little girl looked at the olives and then at the candied haws in her hand, licked her lips but did not pick it up. She still held Xu Suizhu tightly in one hand and followed step by step.
