Chapter 55: Subtle Changes
Shen Lin fell asleep quickly, but Lu Xiaorong in the next room couldn't fall asleep at all.
She was obviously very sleepy, but the questions in her mind kept bothering her, making her unable to make up her mind for a while.
Her hand gently fell on her smooth belly, and she didn't feel anything unusual. But she knew in her heart that her stomach was different at this time.
Because there was already another person in her belly.
A tiny little person, who is extremely close to her, is growing in her belly.
Lu Xiaorong's thoughts have changed a little, but even Lu Xiaorong himself is not aware of this change.
When Lu Xiaorong heard the news that she was pregnant from Dr. Lin, the first thing she thought about was whether she should keep the child.
But now, this idea has changed drastically. Whether or not to have this child has silently become how I should tell Shen Lin.
How would Shen Lin react if he knew that he had a child?
Happy, or...
Amidst these countless thoughts flashing through her mind, Lu Xiaorong fell asleep. In her dream, she saw a girl with two pigtails running around her frantically, while she kept telling her to be careful.
Everything is so beautiful, everything is so...
Just as Lu Xiaorong was enjoying her dream life, she suddenly felt someone pushing her. When she opened her eyes, it was Shen Lin.
"Xiao Rong, I've already prepared the meal. Hurry up and wash up. It's time to go to work after dinner."
Shen Lin said this, patted Lu Xiaorong on the shoulder and said: "I'm going to the stall first, and I'll bring you something delicious in the evening."
As he spoke, Shen Lin hurried out.
Lu Xiaorong looked at Shen Lin's departing figure and her face turned red for a moment. She had never thought that she could sleep so soundly.
This... If people who know me well heard about this, they would laugh to death.
But after the embarrassment, a smile appeared on her face again. Her right hand gently fell on her lower abdomen, and Lu Xiaorong said to herself in a weak and almost inaudible voice: "Did you hear it? The one who just spoke was Dad."
Shen Lin didn't know that Lu Xiaorong was talking to his child. At this moment, Shen Lin was pedaling his tricycle in a hurry towards the Normal College.
Compared with the Institute of Technology, Dongzhou’s Teachers College, although also a junior college, is much larger than the Institute of Technology in both fame and scale.
When Shen Lin's motor tricycle arrived at the gate of the Normal College, several small stalls had already gathered there.
There is Xu Laosan’s sesame cake stall, Luo Xiaoying’s wonton stall, as well as stalls selling fried dough sticks and other snacks.
There was no small stall like Shen Lin's at this time.
Xu Laosan and others were busy before Shen Lin came, but when they heard the sound of Shen Lin's motorcycle, they all looked up and greeted Shen Lin.
Whether he knew them or not, Shen Lin would respond with a smile whenever someone spoke .
Lu Dongsheng had already been waiting at the gate of the Normal College. When he saw Shen Lin coming, he immediately went to greet him.
Lu Dongsheng was so excited about the money he earned yesterday that he tossed and turned all night without sleeping.
For him, Shen Lin's reward not only ensured his material security, but also increased his confidence.
"Boss Shen." Lu Dongsheng greeted Shen Lin as he followed Shen Lin to set up the stall on the ground.
Shen Lin smiled at Lu Dongsheng and said, "Dongsheng, I've already told you, just call me Brother Shen. When did you come?"
"I just came a while ago." Lu Dongsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with a smile. In fact, Lu Dongsheng had been here for half an hour.
Shen Lin didn't ask any more questions. The most important thing for him and Lu Dongsheng now was to set up their own stall.
Thanks to Shen Lin's design, in just half a quarter of an hour, a long row of stalls were set up on the road to the left of the Normal College gate .
Thanks to the scarcity of vehicles nowadays, Shen Lin occupies a small half of the sidewalk, but it does not cause any traffic congestion.
"I haven't eaten yet. I'm going to Xu Laosan's to get two sesame cakes, and then going to Luo Xiaoying's to buy two servings of wontons." While Shen Lin was speaking, he handed Lu Dongsheng two dollars without any questioning.
Lu Dongsheng rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Shen, one portion is enough. I have already eaten."
"Young man, come eat with me after you finish. It seems that we are busier today than yesterday. Can you not eat more?" Shen Lin said without question: "Hurry up, you are still hungry."
In fact, Shen Lin had already eaten a lot at home, but Lu Dongsheng's situation made him feel that when he helped Lu Dongsheng buy food, he should take care of the young man's self-esteem.
That’s why Shen Lin said that he hadn’t eaten either.
Lu Dongsheng hesitated for a moment, then ran towards Xu Laosan and Luo Xiaoying. In just a few minutes, he came over with two large bowls.
"Brother Shen, the wontons Luo Xiaoying gave us are a lot more than those she gave to others." Lu Dongsheng said embarrassedly as he put down the bowl.
Shen Lin smiled and said, "We are all doing business together, so we should take care of each other. You don't have to worry too much. If you really feel bad, then think about giving Luo Xiaoying more when she comes to buy things from us."
Lu Dongsheng smiled, handed Shen Lin a pancake, and then started eating quickly.
Lu Dongsheng used to eat big bowls of meat wontons only twice during the Chinese New Year. But now, with Shen Lin, he can eat the wontons before the restaurant even opens.
Just as Shen Lin finished a bowl of wontons, a 3.5-liter motorcycle came roaring in. The motorcycle stopped not far from Shen Lin's stall, which made Lu Dongsheng a little alert.
Just when he was worried that the newcomer would not allow them to set up the stall, he saw a young man getting off the bed of the Pian San motorcycle.
"Shen Lin, business is good!"
Seeing that it was Xu Ruibing, Shen Lin smiled and handed over a few bottles of frozen orange soda, saying, " Brother Xu, I just want to make a living."
"Okay, stop crying poor in front of me. If you only earn a living, we will starve." Xu Ruibing looked at Shen Lin's motorcycle tricycle and said with a smile: "Shen Lin, you must remember what you promised me. When you have an engine, think of me."
"Okay, no problem." Shen Lin agreed readily. This was not a difficult thing for Shen Lin, not to mention that Xu Ruibing was bringing him business.
As the two were talking, they saw a small white car with its windows closed whizzing towards them from a distance.
"Tsk tsk, our bureau doesn't even have a car like this! And it has air conditioning?" Xu Ruibing said with shining eyes and envy in his voice.
From Shen Lin's later aesthetic point of view, this small car doesn't look very good? But in this era, a small car is already quite impressive.
Just as he was about to speak, the car stopped in front of him, and a man who looked to be in his thirties walked quickly towards Shen Lin.
Before Shen Lin could react, the man had already grabbed Shen Lin's hand.
