70s Women Disguised As Men - Chapter 80
Knowing that he was wrong, Tong Yan smiled and did not refute.
“Mom, do you want to buy anything?”
“Look at it, I don’t know what I want to buy.” Liu Wenhui walked slowly in the department store, her eyes full of enthusiasm when she looked at various commodities.
No matter what age a woman is in, she is a natural shopaholic!
Daily necessities such as washbasins have been sold out before.
The two of them talked and laughed and walked to the cloth selling area. These days, the ready-made clothes in the department store were scarce and expensive. Generally, everyone would go back to find a tailor to make clothes.
Liu Wenhui took a long time to pick a piece of material with broken flowers on the blue background. It was just right to go back and get it to make a shirt.
As soon as she was about to pay out, Tong Yanjie was listed first, “I will pay for this piece of cloth.”
“No, you have a lot of money to get married, so save some money.”
“This is your son-in-law’s special respect for you, please accept it.” It is just a pretense to let your mother accompany her to buy things. In fact, Shen Shaoqing wants to buy something for her father-in-law and mother-in-law, so she can only make the best move.
“Shao Qing, this kid is very interested.”
Liu Wenhui’s eyes were slightly bent, and her heart was coaxed very happy.
Just as the two bought the cloth and were about to leave, a seemingly seven or eight-year-old boy suddenly rushed towards them. Fortunately, Tong Yan dodged in time and didn’t fall.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean it.” The big round eyes of the little boy were full of panic.
“Whose child is this? What about your parents?” Liu Wenhui couldn’t help being a little worried when he saw the child standing here alone.
“I’m looking for my mother, but I didn’t find it.” As he said, he began to drop the golden beans “cracking” down, which looked particularly helpless.
“Did you and your mother go away here?” Tong Yan couldn’t help frowning when she looked at his thin clothes.
“Yes.” The little boy looked at them without a trace of warning.
“That’s it~ Then we…” When Liu Wenhui was about to take the child to find his mother, Tong Yan interrupted her words in time.
“Then let’s help you find the leader here.” Then, she turned to the salesperson selling cloth and said, “Sister, this child and his mother are separated. Could you please take a look with my mother here, I Go to your leader.”
“Fine! No problem! Go ahead.” The salesperson noticed a little boy standing next to the counter, thin and small like a clever bean.
Seeing that she was leaving, the little boy suddenly pulled on Tong Yan’s clothes corner and whispered: “Auntie, can you take me to find my mother? I don’t want to stay here.”
“Don’t worry, they are all good people. You will have nothing to do.” Tong Yan slowly took out her clothes from his little hand, and patiently explained: “We are aimlessly looking for a needle in a haystack. The leader will definitely help you.”
“You go quickly, we are here for you.” Although Liu Wenhui hasn’t figured out why her daughter wants to stop what she said so far, she believes that her daughter must have reason to do so.
“Auntie, would you like to take me to find my mother?” The little boy raised his head, pitifully distressing.
“Let’s wait here, my daughter should be back soon.” At this time, Liu Wenhui also felt something wrong. Apart from the first few tears, the child seemed a little too calm.
Some are too precocious.
Seeing that she hadn’t taken the bait, the little boy could only helplessly counseled somewhere.
With a cup of tea, Tong Yan quickly led the management staff of the department store toward them.
She gave the boy a brief description of the situation and handed it over to the management staff here. Before leaving, she didn’t forget to leave her phone number behind, “Please let me know about the follow-up situation of this child so that I can To rest assured.”
“Okay, no problem, leave the rest to us.”
There was a lot of people talking, until she walked out of the department store, Liu Wenhui asked her curiously, “What happened to the kid just now?”
“I suspect that he was arranged by someone to come and touch porcelain.”
“Porcelain? How do you touch porcelain?” Liu Wenhui couldn’t help raising her voice. People in this era are very simple, and she is a little unbelievable to have this possibility.
“Shhh… keep your voice down.” Although they have come out of the department store, people will continue to look at them in the dark. She doesn’t want to be surprised.
“For the time being, let’s go back and wait for the news.”
“Let’s do it.” Seeing that her daughter didn’t want to say, Liu Wenhui didn’t know anything. She could only go back and ask her husband to help analyze what was going on.
On the other hand, Shen Shaoqing went to the post office to inquire about preliminary progress. The post office did not find a record of the letter signed by Tong Yan.
In other words, the notice was gone before it was mailed.
When returning to Tong’s house at night, several people sat on the sofa with solemn expressions.
Just now, Tong Yan received a call from the department store. As she expected, the boy who said he was lost is actually an orphan without a father and no mother. He is thirteen years old this year, but he is small and thin. A malnourished look looks like seven or eight years old.
He has been around Beihai Park for a long time and has now been sent to his grandfather’s house in the countryside by public security personnel.
If it weren’t for Tong Yan’s quick response, the two of them might now be traffickers who everyone shouts and beats!
Maybe when you want to explain it, you won’t be able to explain it clearly!
“Why did he frame us? Isn’t it too bad for such a small child?” Thinking of being cheated by a child in the morning, Liu Wenhui was both angry and heartbroken as an educator.
“I don’t know him. He should only do it for money.” From the moment he deliberately hit him on her body, Tong Yan had already noticed something was wrong, so she could stop her mother from falling into the trap so quickly.
Shen Shaoqing sat aside, wondering whether there is any actual connection between the admission notice and this matter. If so, who is the mastermind behind it?
As the truth gradually surfaced, Tong Yan and Shen Shaoqing took out their household registration books from their homes, and prepared to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage according to the auspicious day agreed upon before!
Now it is the end of the year, and every family hangs up red lanterns, sticking couplets and sticking to the word “Fu”, every place is full of flavor.
It takes 20 minutes to ride a bicycle from Tong’s house to the Civil Affairs Bureau. It may be that people are refreshed during happy events. Shen Shaoqing just cut it by five minutes. If safety is not the most important thing, he can actually cut it by another five minutes.
The two of them took out their pre-prepared household registration books and handed them to the staff. The eldest sister who registered for them couldn’t help but look up for a few times, and happily praised: “You two are the most beautiful faces I have encountered after working for so many years. One pair, if you give birth to a baby in the future, maybe it will look more beautiful!”
“Eldest sister, this is a wedding candy, I’ll be happy for you.” Tong Yan took out a handful of candy from her bag and handed it out, very naturally taking the role of a newlywed young woman.
“Thank you~”‘Bang’ got a red stamp, and the award-like marriage certificate was delivered to them, “I wish you two have a good son early.”
“thanks!”
The two of them looked at the marriage certificate in their hands and laughed at each other. Shen Shaoqing carefully put it in his shoulder bag, and his inner excitement made his voice tremble slightly, “Daughter-in-law, let’s go home.”
“Okay~ Go home.”
Tong Yan is sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, holding Shen Shaoqing’s waist with one hand, and her heart is sweeter than honey. Starting today, she will join hands with the man in front of her to hold her life together…
Before returning home, the two went to the vegetable market to buy some meat and flour, and they planned to return to their little home to have a world of two to celebrate.
Their courtyard is a quaint building, and the previous owner protected it very well, so that people can live in it without any special repairs.
The wedding supplies are almost the same, and now it’s only a lively wedding.
Every piece of furniture in the cozy little home is carefully selected by the two together, and there is a simple warmth everywhere.
For the first meal of the wedding, they prepare dumplings filled with pork balls.
In the kitchen, one is making noodles and the other is chopping meat, so busy!
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the ground through the windows, as if everything was golden.
Shen Shaoqing stirred the meat and put it on the table, raised his eyes to meet the little flowery face of Tong Yan, and the white flour pours on the sides of his nose and cheeks.
It seems to be glowing golden light.
The small appearance of carefully rolled dumpling skins is very cute.
He grinned, stretched out his fingers and gently wiped the flour off her face, jokingly: “Can you become so white, do you pat the flour on your face every day?”
“No matter how white you are, little white face.” Tong Yan glared at him angrily, and then avoided his hand that was starting to make trouble. “If you delay, you don’t have to eat dumplings tonight!”
People are iron rice or steel. Shen Shaoqing honestly retracted her hand and grabbed the rolling pin in her hand and said, “I’ll roll the dough. You sit and rest for a while.”
On the first day of his wedding, he was still very aware of current affairs.
“No, we can pack fifty dumplings at most. It will be faster if two people pack together.”
In winter, the nights are long and the days are short. When the dumplings are put on the drawer and put in the steamer, the sky is already dark outside. The white steam on the edge of the pot “fluttered” continuously, and soon the glass of the window was covered with mist, and the firewood in the stove was burnt “cracking”.
Tong Yan sat quietly in front of the stove, resting her cheeks in her hands and waiting for the moment when the dumplings boiled and steamed.
Shen Shaoqing warmed his heart as he watched the peaceful scene before him. He gently rubbed her shoulder and said, “Daughter-in-law, you have worked hard today.”
“It’s just making dumplings, it’s not that hard.” The man’s massage skills are getting better and better, and Tong Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, like a satisfied cat with a face of enjoyment.
The beauty under the lamp is as bright as a peach and plum.
Slowly… the strength under the man’s palm increased a bit.
He bent down and coaxed softly in her ear, “For your hard work, I think I should do my duty as a husband.”
