Chapter 44 What is bound to happen
Just after setting up the stall, Xu Laosan came over pushing his tricycle. He saw Lu Dongsheng following Shen Lin to clean up the stall, and said with a smile: "Shen Lin, you really need to find a helper!"
Shen Lin smiled and said, "Old Xu, you came a little late today."
As he spoke, Shen Lin pointed his finger at Lu Dongsheng and said, "This is Lu Dongsheng, help me these few days."
"By the way, Old Xu, do you have any baked sesame cakes? If you do, make two for me quickly. Xiao Lu and I haven't eaten yet."
While Shen Lin was talking, a cart came over from a distance. Seeing the cart, Xu Laosan's expression became serious.
Judging from the steam coming out of the cart, the person pushing the cart should be a food seller like himself.
It is said that competitors are enemies, let alone on a territory that you have already identified as a piece of fat meat.
Just when Xu Laosan was hesitating whether he should chase the visitor away, the cart had already arrived near Xu Laosan's stall.
The person pushing the cart was a young woman who looked to be around 20 years old, with a somewhat dark face. Despite this, she gave people the impression of being youthful and beautiful.
"Uncle, big brother, my name is Luo Xiaoying and I'm going to sell wontons here. Would you like to try it first?" After looking at Xu Laosan and Shen Lin, the girl said to the two of them with a smile .
Shen Lin looked at the girl who was about the same age as him and formed a judgment about her. From the way she talked, Shen Lin felt that she had not only been to school, but also had attended high school.
As for why the girl came here to sell wontons, Shen Lin didn't want to pursue it. He just smiled and didn't say anything.
After all, the girl's business did not conflict with his.
Looking at the girl's smiling face, Xu Laosan finally suppressed the malice in his heart. After all, the girl's business did not conflict much with his, and the two could often complement each other.
"My name is Xu Laosan, you can call me Uncle San, and this is Shen Lin." Xu Laosan introduced Shen Lin and started making sesame cakes.
"Hello, Third Uncle, hello, Brother Shen. I'll trouble you both to take care of me in the future." As Luo Xiaoying spoke, her white teeth were revealed on her dark face.
Shen Lin smiled and nodded, while Xu Laosan just hummed. Luo Xiaoying was not a talkative person either. After greeting them, she started to work on the small table on the cart.
As the sun rose higher, more and more students came to register.
Although there were some students who registered alone with their luggage, most of them were accompanied by their parents.
Especially those who came early in the morning, basically did not eat much. Some directly bought one or two sesame cakes from Xu Laosan’s table , while others sat at Luo Xiaoying’s stall and ate a bowl of wontons.
With Lu Dongsheng's help, Shen Lin was not so busy. Of course, the main reason for this was that it was not yet the peak shopping season for students.
"Shen Lin, how's business today?" Chu Feng came over on patrol on his bicycle.
Seeing Chu Feng, whose head was covered in sweat and whose police uniform was wet on the back, Shen Lin asked, "Business is pretty good, why are you riding by yourself? Don't you have a motorcycle?"
Chu Feng wiped his sweat and said, "There is a mission in the station, and the three motorcycles were ridden to handle the case."
At this point, Chu Feng said, "Shen Lin, since you are doing business here, please help me keep an eye on it and see if there are any suspicious people with a two-year-old boy."
Hearing Chu Feng say this, Shen Lin immediately reacted. The child trafficking case he remembered had actually happened.
It took thirty years for a two-year-old child to find his way home. This in itself is a tragedy.
If Shen Lin had no ability, it would have been fine, but according to the information he heard from his second brother-in-law in later life, the human trafficker hid in a small hotel next to the area that his second brother-in-law was in charge of that afternoon.
Whenever my second brother-in-law mentioned this matter, he felt a little regretful.
"Has someone's child been stolen?" Shen Lin asked, pretending to be curious.
Chu Feng nodded and said, "The damn human trafficker stole the child while the parents were not paying attention."
"This time the bureau has put a lot of effort into setting up surveillance, hoping to catch the human trafficker."
As he spoke, Chu Feng pedaled his bicycle and headed forward.
Shen Lin looked at Chu Feng who was about to leave and asked hurriedly: "Brother, is today the first day of surveillance?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Chu Feng supported himself on the ground with his feet and asked in confusion.
Shen Lin said: "Nothing, I just need your help with something this afternoon. Do you have time this afternoon?"
"If it's a big deal, there probably won't be time." Chu Feng stroked his forehead, thinking that his brother-in-law might want him to help move things again.
If it were normal times, he would help, but not now.
"Then where were you patrolling this afternoon, brother?" Shen Lin said with a look of unwillingness.
Chu Feng frowned, but still said, "I should be at Yuhong Street this afternoon. If you have anything to do, go find me there."
Looking at Chu Feng leaving, Shen Lin smiled.
After what happened in his previous life, he understood that his second brother-in-law was a little impatient with his questions.
But my second brother-in-law had no idea that I was doing this to help him.
Just as Chu Feng was leaving, Xu Laosan came over. He said with a hint of emotion: "These human traffickers should be shot if they are caught."
"A family in our village has lost their child and now they feel like they have lost their soul all day long."
Shen Lin said: "That's right. We were a happy family, but they have ruined it all. It's a sin."
While the two were talking, some college students who had signed up came over. One of them, who looked well-dressed, saw the sign for iced soda and shouted, "Boss, two bottles of iced soda, please."
With the arrival of these students, Shen Lin's business began to get busy. However, today, Lu Dongsheng helped to carry things, and Shen Lin was only responsible for collecting money, which was indeed a lot easier than yesterday.
Collect money, make change, make change, collect money...
After a busy morning, Shen Lin felt like his hands were cramping.
Xu Laosan and Luo Xiaoying, who were standing on the side, stared at Shen Lin with extremely envious eyes.
Xu Laosan was still okay, especially Luo Xiaoying, her eyes were a little red at this time.
"Uncle San, has Shen Lin's business always been so good?" Luo Xiaoying said to Xu Laosan with a hint of envy.
Xu Laosan nodded and said, "That's right, his business was booming yesterday."
At this point, Xu Laosan pointed to the void and said, "Don't think about anything else. The police officer who just passed by is Shen Lin's brother-in-law."
"Yesterday, he helped Shen Lin pull a truckload of goods?"
Luo Xiaoying smiled and said, "I don't think about anything else. I just want to do my business well."
As it gradually approached noon, the iced soda was selling faster and faster. Before one o'clock, the huge camphor wood box was already empty.
Shen Lin looked at the sparse pedestrians under the scorching sun, greeted Lu Dongsheng, then got on his tricycle and left.
Lu Dongsheng looked at the tricycle emitting black smoke, his eyes filled with envy.
However, Lu Dongsheng didn't know that his boss was not just going to transport goods this time, he had more important things to do.
