Chapter 68 Junior Sister
The flower market in Dongzhou is actually not very big and is located inside a large farmers’ market.
Liu's steamed bun shop is also opened here. The shop is only 30 square meters, very small.
"Grandma, let me do it."
Xu Yang saw that his grandmother was having more and more difficulty kneading the dough and her legs and feet were beginning to tremble. He helped the old woman sit on a stool nearby and took over the work himself.
The old man has a hunched back and his aged face is full of the vicissitudes of time.
She looked at her grandson with cloudy and sad eyes, and tears flowed silently , which she wiped away quietly with the back of her hand.
"Yangyang." The old woman sniffed and said, "Grandma will cook a bowl of wontons later. You can send it to your father. He is alone in the hospital..."
At this point, she choked up a little, stopped talking and didn't go on.
"I'll cook it, you take a rest." Xu Yang's hands moved quickly and he quickly packed a tray of buns and put them in the cage.
Outside the shop, Chen Ying, Ma Chao and Zhang Qi were busy greeting customers. Chen Ying took notes in a small notebook and leaned in from the door to shout, "Two drawers for table three, two drawers for table four, and one drawer for table five!"
Xu Yang replied from inside: "I understand."
The old lady supported herself on her knees and stood up: "Come on, grandma. You go outside and don't tire the children. They are here to help, so don't let them suffer any loss."
She took out a wrapped handkerchief from her pocket, opened it layer by layer, and counted out three ten-dollar bills: "Go, buy them some water, and take the children to eat something delicious."
The boy looked at her rough hands with red eyes, and put the money back into her pocket: "I have money."
He quickly packed a portion of buns and walked out, then turned back and said, "Grandma, I'm here, don't worry."
He walked out, handed the packed buns to the customer, took out money from his pocket, and called Chen Ying.
The little girl ran over happily: "What's the matter?"
"Go buy some drinks. It's my treat." Xu Yang gave her the money: "I don't drink, no need to buy."
The little girl was unhappy: "Then I won't drink it either."
"Go ahead." Xu Yang looked at her and forced a smile: "Go quickly and come back soon."
He went to clean up the table and let Ma Chao and Zhang Qi take a break. Chen Ying looked at his back, snorted unhappily, and walked towards the milk tea shop.
She muttered, "I'll buy it, I'll buy it!"
"Xiaoyang." A male voice sounded in front of Xu Yang.
Xu Yang looked up and saw the person coming.
The other person looked older than him, very young, wore glasses, had a delicate appearance, and exuded a scholarly air.
Xu Yang's eyes showed some joy: "Brother Yiming."
"sit."
Li Yiming pointed to the stool opposite him: "I came to see you. I have something to tell you."
Xu Yang's expression became serious, and he leaned forward slightly. He lowered his voice and said solemnly: "Brother, you don't have to say it, I know everything."
He paused again, and said carefully: "I won't say anything."
"That's not it."
Li Yiming laughed and took out two bank cards and handed them over: "The money here is enough for you to use until you graduate from college. And this one can also help you in an emergency if your grandma and dad get sick."
Xu Yang's face changed, and he immediately pushed the card over: "Brother, what do you mean, why do I need your money, and... and..."
"And what?"
Li Yiming smiled softly: "You have to get into a good school, and it's best to stay in Dongzhou. Your family needs you to take care of them."
"Brother!" Xu Yang stood up, attracting the attention of Ma Chao and Zhang Qi.
"It's okay, I'll say a few words to him." Li Yiming smiled at them: "He just has a quick temper."
Ma Chao and Zhang Qi also smiled at him but didn't take it seriously. During the break, they prepared to play a game.
"Leave everything to me from now on. You just need to tell the truth."
Xu Yang shook his head subconsciously: "Brother, I can't..."
Li Yiming interrupted him. He stared at Xu Yang in a calm voice and said, "You have to do this."
"elder brother!"
Xu Yang looked puzzled: "Why? I am harming you, how can I do this!"
Li Yiming laughed and shook his head: "You are not harming me, you are helping me."
He looked at Xu Yang seriously: "Xiao Yang, you have to help me."
On the other side, Chen Ying had just bought milk tea and came out of the store when she saw Luo Xun and Chi Xia getting out of the car.
This time, she did not have the joy and excitement she had when she saw Chi Xia before. The little girl's face changed and she looked worried. She did not care about anything and took a shortcut to run towards the bun shop.
At the same time, Cao Bin and Juanmao were also meeting up with Chi Xia and the others.
Prior to this, they had found identical wrapping paper and cards.
Everything fits right.
Chen Ying ran back panting, leaving Ma Chao and Zhang Qi stunned.
"What's wrong? Is there a ghost chasing you?" Ma Chao looked behind her with a smile.
"Exactly. Why are you running?" Zhang Qi also looked back: "There's nothing there."
Chen Ying put the milk tea heavily on the table, walked over and grabbed Xu Yang's hand and was about to run: "Come with me."
Xu Yang frowned and didn't move: "Chen Ying, what are you doing?"
The little girl looked anxious and embarrassed, but she couldn't say anything. She begged, "Don't ask so many questions. Come with me, Xu Yang, come with me quickly!"
"Why should I leave?" Xu Yang grabbed her wrist and pulled his hand out: "What's wrong?"
Ma Chao and Zhang Qi also realized that something was wrong. They came over and asked, "Chen Ying, what's wrong with you? Did someone bully you?"
As they came over, Chen Ying couldn't speak anymore. She saw Chi Xia and Luo Xun, stamped her feet anxiously, and grabbed Xu Yang's hand again: "Come on, come with me."
Xu Yang frowned, he seemed to realize something, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Li Yiming.
Li Yiming remained calm and nodded slightly at him.
One road, two exits, Luo Xun and Chi Xia, Cao Bin and Juanmao, two teams gradually approached the stall called Liujia Baozi Shop.
"Xu Yang." Chi Xia called out.
Xu Yang turned around and saw Chen Ying crying, while Ma Chao and Zhang Qi were still puzzled.
The old lady came out with a few trays of steamed buns: "Xiaoyang, serve the guests' steamed buns quickly."
Xu Yang looked at Chi Xia and was silent for a moment.
"Go ahead." Chi Xia said, "What are you standing there for?"
Xu Yang ran over and took the buns from grandma's hand, put them on the guest's table, and said to grandma, "Grandma, it's hot outside. If you need anything, just call me. Don't come out."
The old lady looked at Chi Xia and the others with a kind look in her eyes: "Your friends?"
Xu Yang paused: "Yeah."
"Have fun then." The old man smiled and said to Chi Xia and the others, "Eat as many buns as you want. We have enough for you."
Chi Xia smiled at her: "Okay, then I have to try it."
After she finished speaking, she saw the man next to Xu Yang turn around and leave, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
Luo Xun followed closely and stopped the man.
Cao Bin and Juanmao just happened to walk up to them: "Hey? What a coincidence, Boss, you still remember us, right?"
Luo Xun asked Cao Bin: "Do you know him?"
"These flowers, wrapping paper and cards are from his shop." Cao Bin: "I just saw him not long ago, boss, how can you not recognize him?"
"Of course I know him." Li Yiming adjusted his glasses: "He's a police officer."
Luo Xunshen glanced at him: "What's your name? "
"Li Yiming."
He looked at Luo Xun with a calm demeanor, and suddenly said, "I know why you are here."
Chi Xia came over, her voice was cold: "So, you are from the trap?"
Li Yiming looked at her with a smile from the bottom of his heart: "Junior sister, you didn't expect that we would meet here."
Chi Xia stared at him and sneered: "Unexpected, but reasonable."
Luo Xun's eyes shone again, and he looked at Chi Xia: "Do you know each other?"
"Not familiar with him." Chi Xia said coldly, looking at the confused Cao Bin and Juanmao: "Brother Cao, take him back to the police station."
"Ah?" Cao Bin subconsciously looked at Luo Xun. Without any evidence, they took him back? Besides, this wasn't the person they should have taken away...
Luo Xun looked at Chi Xia and found that the way she stared at the man was cold and distant, and there was even a hint of hatred and hostility that was barely noticeable.
"I'll go with you."
Xu Yang suddenly came up, he stopped in front of Li Yiming and looked at Chi Xia: "You are here to find me, aren't you? Let go of Brother Li."
Chi Xia ignored him and continued staring at Li Yiming.
Li Yiming looked at Chi Xia and smiled: "Little Junior Sister, look back and look at the old man standing there ."
Chi Xia and Luo Xun turned around together and saw the old, staggering man looking at them blankly and pitifully. The thin person was standing there, staring at him eagerly, not knowing what was going on or what to say, but her eyes were full of humble worry.
Chi Xia turned around and looked at Li Yiming coldly.
"It's been so long." She suddenly smiled softly, "You haven't made any progress at all."
“But I killed someone.”
Li Yiming remained calm, leaned forward, lowered his voice, and said, "I killed that teacher."
