Printed on the list was Chenchen's photo, date of birth, and detailed information about when he was lost.
The diners readily accepted it, and many of them didn't want the peanuts she gave them at all. They just took the flyers and said they would keep an eye out for her.
Treat others with kindness, and others will respond with kindness.
Ji Xing and Song Yiyan also lined up, ready to buy something to eat and let Nian Chenchen taste their long-lost mother.
There were new diners nearby asking about the situation, and regular diners who had been frequenting the place told them.
Five years ago, the son of the braised vegetable owner disappeared and she searched for him for five years.
When working during the day, she would give a bag of peanuts and flyers to everyone who came to her braised vegetable stall to buy braised vegetables, asking them to help keep an eye on her son.
At night, she would go to every place in the city to hand out leaflets and look for her son, no matter it was windy, raining, snowing or hailing, there was never a day off.
She stubbornly believed that her son must still be alive and that he would come back one day.
"The vegetable market here is about to be demolished and will be closed in two days. She is a woman and the vegetables she sells are so cheap. She pays rent every month and can't make much money. She doesn't know what the future will bring. Where do you want to stay?" An aunt sighed, full of heartache and sympathy.
Many old diners are used to eating here. It is clean, kind, and the prices are cheap. In the past five years, the prices of other food stalls have doubled, but she has not raised the price by a dime.
They advised her to raise the price, but she refused to listen and always insisted on the lowest price.
She said that everyone did not dislike her for talking about her son every day, helping her keep an eye on her son, and taking care of her business. They were all helping her, and she wanted to repay everyone.
Song Yiyan listened to the conversations of the diners and glanced at the notice posted next to her. The vegetable market would be closed the day after tomorrow. These were the last two days.
However, it is still very lively. The businesses have not closed, and they are all enthusiastically preparing to do business in the last two days and serve the old diners who have been patronizing the business for decades.
Auntie said that this vegetable market has been built for more than 20 years, and the merchants who settled in it are all old merchants. Everyone is still not used to the demolition and relocation!
There are old communities near the vegetable market, and the customers who come to the vegetable market are also old customers. Over the years, everyone has developed feelings for each other.
"The braised vegetables at this restaurant are definitely one of the best in Beijing. You will regret it if you don't eat them!" Auntie helped to make things easier for the new diners.
Song Yiyan felt the jade pendant on her chest flickering with light. She could clearly feel the soft emotions, and the tip of her nose couldn't help but feel a little sore.
In five years, the mother in front of me must have been riddled with wounds, but she is still smiling and persisting.
She must firmly believe that her child is still alive and well in this world, and that she will be able to see her baby one day.
Soon, Song Yiyan and Ji Xing arrived.
Chenchen's mother saw a young and good-looking couple, who looked like people walking out of the TV, and asked with a smile: "What do you two want to eat? All the dishes here are random."
Song Yiyan smiled: "Sister, just choose the flavor you like for us!"
Chenchen’s mother: “Can you young people like the taste I like?”
Song Yiyan nodded: "I like it."
Chenchen's mother always felt that the girl in front of her had a very friendly aura. She said yes with a smile, picked cold dishes for them, and talked to them with a smile: "Girl, this is your first time here, I won't charge you any money. Just look at the flyer on it and help me keep an eye on my son."
Song Yiyan held the flyer and looked at the child above. She smiled brightly. He was fair and fair, with good-looking facial features. He looked like a sunny and cheerful child, and he would definitely be a handsome boy when he grew up.
But the Nian Chenchen she saw was skin and bones, and very thin. If she hadn't known about it, she wouldn't have believed it was the same child.
One can imagine what kind of torture a five-year-old child must have suffered to become such a skinny person.
As he got closer to his mother, Chenchen's mood fluctuated a little, and he could clearly feel his excitement, surprise and loss.
"Auntie, don't worry, we will help you pay attention." Song Yiyan took the flyer and thought that Zhao Yun was about to call her too!
They have already called the police. Zhao Yun's criminal police team will definitely be responsible for this kind of case. Once the identity is confirmed, Chenchen's mother must be notified.
Zhao Yun probably hated her to death. One case after another was thrown at him. The case of hiding the corpse in the rose field was so busy that he was exhausted, and another case of missing and dead children was thrown at him.
Chenchen's mother handed the prepared cold dish to Song Yiyan.
When Ji Xing took out his hand to scan the QR code to pay, the aunt refused to accept anything and said she would pay for it when she came over to eat next time. This time it was her treat.
Song Yiyan was not polite, pulled Ji Xing and stood beside him to eat.
Seeing that they only ate cold dishes, Chenchen's mother gave them two large cakes and asked them to eat them together. She also gave them two disposable cups to fill them with water.
Song Yiyan's mood is a little complicated. A kind-hearted person, no matter how much suffering she goes through, always maintains the simplest kindness in her heart.
Chenchen felt very heavy. He could only see his mother, but he could no longer hug her or act coquettishly with her.
The diners passing by looked at them kindly, and a few uncles and aunties asked them if they were delicious. Let them have a good stroll here. If it is closed in two days, they will no longer be able to stroll around.
"Sister, your cold dishes are so delicious." Song Yiyan praised without hesitation and looked at Chenchen's mother: "My boyfriend and I just wanted to start a small business, but the two of us have no income and only have a little money. I wonder if you can technically invest in it?”
Those diners just said that her business here is similar to charity. If she doesn't make much money, she will only be able to make enough rent.
Anyway, Yang Juan gave her a building and took out some money to give to Chenchen's mother, which was considered a good deed.
A double feeling of gratitude came from Jade Perry's chest.
When Chenchen's mother heard what she said, she smiled shyly: "I don't have any skills here. I just make a living. You'd better find someone else. I can't do it."
She did this business just to find Chenchen, not to make money. She could do whatever she wanted and couldn't let others suffer.
"Sister, I just like to eat your cold dishes." After Song Yiyan finished speaking, she asked the diners in line: "Everyone, tell me, is my sister's cold dishes delicious? If she opens a store, will you go and eat it?"
The diners answered loudly yes, they must go to support it.
The regular customers in line also wished Chenchen's mother well. If someone could really open a store with her, her life would be easier.
