Zhou 30 didn't realize that he was being followed at all.
With his back to Ling Shu, he squatted not far in front, playing with a little yellow dog.
That energy is more tender than being warm with Ling Yao at home.
He listened carefully, and some strange words popped out of his mouth from time to time.
"Xiao Huang, you said you're not a cat, why do you like eating dried fish so much?"
"Don't eat so fast, I don't have much on me. If you eat it all at once, you will starve in the next few days!"
"Oh, you are fine, you really understand, that's right, haha, eat slowly, I'm not in a hurry to leave today, you can play with you for a while after you eat!"
Ling Shu almost thought that the dog was human.
He looked up and down, left and right.
The dog is about the size of the palm of two adult men. It has not yet grown up. Its yellow hair is slightly curly, fluffy and puffy, and its dark eyes are very spiritual.
Really cute.
The dog ate two bites of dried fish, then looked up at Zhou Thirty, as if afraid that he would run away.
When Ling Shu quietly approached a few steps, Zhou 30 hadn't noticed it yet, but the little yellow dog immediately noticed, and the little fish did not eat, jumped behind Zhou 3's buttocks, barked at Ling Shu, alerted to threats.
Zhou 30 turned around, showing a surprised look.
"Ling Shu?"
…
After the beginning of summer, the weather is getting hotter and more humid, and people's appetite is also sluggish.
Any delicacies from the mountains and seas can't compare to a bowl of cold noodles with shredded chicken and a cup of sour plum soup.
The sour plum soup cannot be completely cooled. It is best to keep it warm on the stove, and then take it out when the guests use it. Otherwise, it is easy to have stomach discomfort if you drink the iced drink hastily in this weather.
As for the cold noodles, it's fine.
When Ling Shu was in Sichuan, he often ate cold noodles, and the entrance must be spicy. At first, he was so hot that he burst into tears. When he first arrived there, he would get angry when it was spicy. He had to ask the chef to avoid it when he was cooking. When you meet a hot-tempered restaurant cook, they will just pick it up and say it is not spicy, you will not cook it, you will do it yourself.
The land of Sichuan and Shu is humid, and pepper, pepper and star anise are all necessities, and they are used to eating them. Later, Ling Shu traveled to the northeast and returned to Shanghai.
Just like the bowl of cold noodles in front of me, there are fried chicken, peanuts, sesame paste, sesame oil, vinegar, and shredded green onion or coriander according to the guests' preference, but there is no chili.
Ling Shu let out a sigh of relief.
"Eat, why don't you eat, isn't it to your taste?"
Zhou 30 swallowed the dates wholeheartedly and had already dried up most of the bowl of cold noodles. He took a big mouthful of the sour plum soup, then exhaled a long breath with satisfaction, and gave a two-word evaluation.
"readily!"
When you're hungry, it doesn't matter whether you have chili or not.
Ling Shu's melancholy returned to melancholy, which did not affect the speed of his eating. After a few minutes of wind and clouds, the noodles in his bowl were similar to Zhou Thirty's.
Zhou 30 smiled and said, "I didn't lie to you, right? The cold noodles here are better than your sister's, right?"
Ling Shu responded with two hehes: "That's much more delicious."
Zhou Thirty: "Sometimes I'm arguing with your sister, or I'm tired of the food at home, I'll come here to ask for a bowl of noodles. Don't tell me, although the decoration here is a bit dirty, it looks a bit dirty, but it Our noodles are no worse than Xiao Ji Noodle House, hey, it’s a pity that Boss Xiao has suffered a disaster, and there is no successor!”
Before Yue Dingtang appeared and Ling Shu was involved in all kinds of bizarre cases, the relationship between Ling Shu and Zhou Thirty was very good. He is better than the other. Although he can't be promoted due to his mediocre background, if he has the opportunity to move forward, he can still go a step further. However, he is content with the status quo, and it can be considered that he is compatible with Ling Shu's temperament.
"Brother-in-law, what's the matter with you and that widow?"
Ling Shu opened the skylight to speak eloquently, and stopped going around in circles.
Today he has to figure this out, otherwise Zhou 30 and Ling Yao will have to quarrel when they turn around.
Zhou 30 smiled bitterly: "Your sister's speculations are all fabricated out of thin air, don't you believe it?"
Ling Shu: "Then you have to tell me, what is the origin of the widow, and how did you two know each other? When I look back, my sister asks, and I don't know, how can I help you?"
Zhou 30: "One day I saw a child chasing a dog on the street, and the dog was chased into hiding. I looked very pitiful, so I followed behind to rescue the dog, and I followed him because of it. The child quarreled twice."
Ling Shu: "Isn't that dog the little yellow you fed just now?"
Zhou Thirty nodded, and was a little embarrassed: "Isn't your sister not allowed to keep a dog, and I don't dare to take it back, she will have to argue with me later, so I can only feed it on the way home from get off work every time It's weird to say something, this dog is very smart, not only recognizes me, but also waits on my way back, it doesn't kiss others, it just plays with me, you say it won't be a fate in a previous life Bar?"
Ling Shu thought to himself, what is the fate of the past life, you can't be a dog in your past life, right
"So you go home late every day, just to see Xiao Huang?"
Zhou 30: "Most of the time, didn't we just talk about that child? We didn't know each other. He was lost that day, so I took him to find his home, and then I met Widow Sun. The two of them were orphans and widows. My mother is unfamiliar, and living in Shanghai is not easy. On weekdays, I can help as much as I can. It is nothing more than moving some heavy objects and changing a light bulb. Widow Sun said that she did not want to owe favor, and she often gave them away. When I ordered something, I took it home the first few times, but when your sister pressed me, she insisted that I had feelings for others, and now I don't dare to take it."
Ling Shu: "Have you told your sister about these things?"
Zhou 30: "I said, but she just doesn't believe it!"
Ling Shu pondered: "Brother-in-law, in the matter between the two of you, it was not easy for me to intervene in the first place, but recently you and my sister have been arguing about this matter, so it is not the way to go on like this. In my opinion, my sister has a knot in her heart. It has been lingering for many years, which is why she worries about gains and losses."
Zhou Thirty: "Do you mean children?"
Ling Shu hummed.
Don't look at Zhou 30's simple and honest weekdays, but his heart is still transparent.
"Ling Shu, I'll give you the bottom line. In fact, we've talked about the child for a long time. I know that my parents in my hometown are urging me to hold my grandson, and I want to have a child, but it's not up to us to decide. Yes, it depends on whether God gives face Son!"
Saying that, Zhou Thirty smiled wryly.
"It's just one or two times. It's like this every time. I'm a little tired, but can't I afford to hide?"
He is also human, no matter how good his temper is, he will be tired. Zhou 30 can't even guarantee that when Ling Yao starts the battle again, he will be able to stay at home for a minute.
To be honest, Ling Shu was quite sympathetic to Zhou Thirty.
He also knew that Ling Yao had a quick temper. This was a temperament brought from his mother's womb. Jiang Shan's nature was easy to change, and he couldn't change it if he wanted to.
But a loving couple can't be let go like this, one has to make concessions.
"I'll go back and persuade my sister, you can also sit down and have a good chat with my sister, and open up your heart. You are still young about the child, so you don't have to be so anxious. My sister is also worried that she can't leave a place for your Zhou family. After that, you will be so anxious.”
Zhou Thirty patted his shoulder.
"Understood, we'll go back after eating the noodles. As for you, your sister is always worried about your affairs. Do you have any girls you like? If the family background doesn't make it through, I'll tell your sister."
Ling Shuyuan wanted to say that there were too many girls who liked him, and he was too picky. When the words came out of his mouth, the figure of Yue Dingtang suddenly appeared, and he swallowed it for some reason.
"Brother-in-law, I'm not in a hurry, let's settle your affairs first."
With the matter between Zhou 30 and the dog, Ling Shu completely forgot about Yue Dingtang's side. He was planning to go to Yue's house for dinner at night, but halfway through eating cold noodles with Zhou 3, he was directly happy. Xing went home and bought Ling Yao fried chestnuts with sugar on the way, intending to make people happy and then have a heart-to-heart talk.
Everything went well at night.
When Ling Yao saw that they came back early, Zhou Thirty brought her something to eat. She was in a good mood. Ling Shu took the opportunity to ask the family of three to sit down and have a good chat. He patiently persuaded and made a powerful statement, even Ling Yao could listen.
Ling Shu thought that he was done, and was about to return to the room, leaving the living room to the young couple to continue in-depth communication, when there was a hurried knock on the door outside.
The old servant, Aunt Hong, recently went back to the countryside on leave, so Ling Shu had to open the door by herself.
In the middle of the night, he really couldn't figure out who would come over.
Unless it is Yue Ding Tang.
But it was not Yue Dingtang standing outside.
It's Widow Sun.
She looked anxious and fell to her knees as soon as she saw Ling Shu!
"Sir Ling, please save my child!"
Ling Shu was startled, and hurriedly bent over to help him.
"Get up and talk, what's going on!"
Sun: "My child disappeared after school and hasn't come back until now!"
Ling Shu: "How did you know that I live here?"
Mrs. Sun: "Mr. Zhou told me before that I didn't want to come to disturb me, but at this time it's like a fly without a head, so I can only come and ask for it!"
She looked anxious, her eyes were red, and she was about to cry.
Ling Shu probed and looked at it.
There was a rickshaw parked outside the door, and the driver seemed to be waiting for her, but there was no maid accompanying her.
She actually went out alone late at night, and it seemed that she was really in a hurry.
Ling Yao and Zhou Thirty who were inside heard the movement and came out.
Ling Yao saw Sun, and heard that she was from Chen Origin, and her face that had turned clear was shrouded in dark clouds.
Ling Shu secretly thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly said before Sun Shi and Zhou Thirty spoke: "The matter of missing persons should be reported to the police station. I'll accompany you to the police station. Brother-in-law, stay home with your sister!"
Ling Yao said angrily: "Why didn't she go to the police station to report the case, but went straight to our house, is our house a police station!"
Ling Shu didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and hurriedly pushed Sun to walk out, closing the door by the way.
Behind the door, there was a faint sound of Zhou Thirty's movement to appease his wife.
Sun wiped his eyes and apologized again and again.
"Sir Ling, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to go to the police station, it's that I'm a weak woman. She passed by alone in the middle of the night, and people didn't take it seriously. At most, they blackmailed me some money before sending me away. I have been frightened by such a thing. Mr. Zhou is the only capable person I know in Shanghai, and I really have nowhere to go..."
"Okay, stop, let's stop talking nonsense, go to the police station and report the case first, it's important to find the child!"
Ling Shu raised his hand to stop her from continuing.
To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of the Sun family. Instead, he had a lot of doubts. It's just that the child is innocent, and everything will be discussed after the child is found.
