Chapter 244 Uncle is not a kidnapper
Huo Nian was crying aggrievedly, when he saw a shadow covering him, he hurriedly looked up.
Two drops of golden beans just rolled down on the cheek, looking pitifully tight.
Zhang Fu's heart softened, and he leaned over to help him wipe it off.
Huo Nian was stunned for a moment, but after he realized it, he quickly shrank towards the corner of the wall. However, he was squatting against the wall, unable to shrink back, unable to move back, so he looked at the other party with some fear.
He said bravely: "Don't abduct me, I have a father and a mother, a sister and an uncle. I won't go with you."
After speaking, he held the pie tightly with both hands and squatted against the wall, his body collapsed tightly, and he looked at Zhang Fu steadfastly.
Zhang Fu had a smile on his face.
Simply squatted down in front of him: "Do you think I look like a bad guy?"
"The bad guys don't write on their faces that they are bad guys."
"You are a smart kid." Zhang Fu laughed.
Seeing this kid staring at him and blinking his eyes, the tear-soaked eyeballs were extraordinarily bright, he was suddenly a little dazed. I always feel where these eyes have looked.
Seeing that the child was scared, he hurriedly coaxed: "Don't be afraid, Uncle is not a bad person. Look..."
As he spoke, he stretched out his clothes and showed him: "This is the official uniform. I am an official, not those who flirt."
Huo Nian looked at his clothes and saw an embroidered pattern on his chest, so he happily pointed out his little finger: "I know, this is a patch, right?"
Zhang Fu was a little surprised, the corners of his mouth twitched: "Do you still know Buzi?"
Seeing that the other party praised him, Huo Nian's face was a little proud.
"My sister told me that. The official uniforms worn by officials have an embroidered pattern called Buzi on the chest. I also know that different officials have different patterns on it!"
"Ah, you are still so powerful. Do you know what I am?"
Zhang Fulue straightened his body so that he could see the pattern in front of him clearly.
Huo Nian stared at his eyes for recognition, then shook his head: "I don't know you. I just went to school. I'm still learning the Three Character Classic, and my husband hasn't talked about it."
Zhang Fu smiled and touched his head: "This is a unicorn, look, isn't it mighty?"
Seeing Huo Nian nodded, he smiled and said, "I'll know you when you grow up."
Seeing that the other party is friendly and harmless, Huo Nian nodded: "Well, when I read more books, when I grow up, I will naturally know."
Seeing that this child is really spiritual, Zhang Fu likes it very much.
asked him again: "Why are you crying here alone? Don't you go to the school? Are you playing truant?"
"It's not playing truant! Our school is out of school. They were picked up by family members. But my uncle hasn't come yet." Huo Nian became aggrieved again as he spoke.
Zhang Fu's voice became softer: "What about your parents?"
"Father, mother and elder sister have gone out." As he spoke, he lay on his knees, looking like he was about to cry.
No wonder, the child must have felt wronged.
Seeing his sad look, Zhang Fu suddenly became sad too. Thinking about how to make children happy, but I have no experience in teasing children.
Seeing that he was holding a piece of pie in his hand, he asked him: "Is the pie delicious? Are you hungry? Uncle, can I treat you to something delicious?"
Huo Nian looked up at him blankly: "My sister said that you can't take things from strangers."
After speaking, she was afraid that the other party would be sad. She glanced at the pie that had been bitten several times in her hand, pursed her lips, and said, "I have pie, I can eat enough."
Seeing that the child is really sensible, Zhang Fu couldn't help feeling emotional. Ask him again: "Then is this pie delicious?"
Huo Nian looked at him, then at the cake in his hand, nodded: "It's delicious."
After speaking, seeing the other party staring at his cake, he thought about it, tore off a piece from the other side that he hadn't bitten, and handed it to him: "Uncle, try it, it's delicious. There are vegetables in it."
Zhang Fu stared at the small piece of cake handed to him, and was stunned.
reached out and took it.
Huo Nian immediately laughed.
A proud look that one's own things have finally been recognized by others. He also took a bite himself, chewing with relish.
Zhang Fu couldn't help but want to touch his little face because of his cute and lovely appearance.
"Who bought this cake for you?"
"I bought it myself? My parents gave me copper coins and said that I can buy something to eat when I am hungry."
"Really? How much copper coins does such a delicious pie cost?"
Huo Nian stretched out three fingers: "Three copper coins. There are vegetarian ones and meaty ones. The meaty ones cost five renminbi, and they are even more delicious. Once you bite into it, it's full of meat juice. It's delicious!"
Seeing that he ate deliciously, Zhang Fu couldn't help but asked him again: "Then why don't you buy pies with meat? Don't you have any copper coins?"
Huo Nian patted on his little book bag: "Yes, I have a copper plate, and I have a silver bean. It was given by my sister. But I'm just a vegetarian. I can eat enough."
Zhang Fu couldn't help feeling sad for a while.
This kid is really sensible. Maybe the family background is not very good, so a little big, you know how to save copper coins for the family.
Looking at him, I saw that he was wearing fine cotton clothes, a pair of plain cloth shoes without any embroidery on his feet, and the small book bag was also very simple. He should be just a child from an ordinary family.
I feel quite emotional in my heart.
Seeing that he stopped crying, I was about to tease him with some more words. The child's eyes were dark, bright and energetic, which made people feel familiar.
Before he opened his mouth, he saw him standing up straight, waving his hands and calling, "Uncle, uncle!" and ran over while shouting.
Zhang Fu stood up and looked back, and saw a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, striding towards the child, and the two hugged each other.
"It's uncle's fault. Uncle is late. Are you in a hurry?"
"Hmph, next time uncle comes so late, I will ignore you."
Yang Fu looked him up and down, seeing that he was well, his heart suddenly relaxed.
"Next time if Uncle can't leave, I will ask Grandpa Zou to pick you up. Uncle forgot to tell them this time."
"Then don't allow it next time."
"OK. Pull the hook."
Zhang Fu saw his uncle and nephew hooking up.
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, they also planned to turn around and leave, but saw the boy turn around and waved his hand at him: "Goodbye, uncle." After speaking, he bouncingly led his uncle away.
Zhang Fu smiled, turned around and left, took two steps, and then paused. After chatting with the child for a long time, he forgot to ask his name.
Can't help shaking his head and laughing, then turned and walked away.
On Huo Xi's side, they arrived in Pingjiang with Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi.
Mr. Yang was guarding the boat, while Huo Xi and Huo Erhuai walked to the shop dressed in rich and noble clothes. When he reached the door of the shop, he didn't intend to go in, so he chose the tea shop opposite the shop to sit down and observe.
After drinking a few pots of tea, I saw customers coming and going in the shop, some came to sell goods, and some brought goods to sell. The business seemed to be good.
The guys in the shop were all smiling, welcoming and seeing off.
Huo Xi couldn't help but nodded in approval in his heart. She opened shops in several cities along the canal, mainly doing bulk business.
Buy local products, use the convenience of the canal, sell them to other cities, and send other local products to Pingjiang, so that small merchants can come to Pingjiang to sell them.
FIT business is also done, but not many.
In this way, there are fewer hands and feet to move. Save a lot of manpower and material resources.
Combined with the shop incentive plan she set, the shopkeeper in the shop can get a bonus from the profit of the shop in addition to the fixed monthly money.
The shop makes more money, and the guys naturally share more, and everyone is very active in their work.
It is convenient to go to and from the canal at ordinary times, and Shen Qianzhong often visits the shops, so far, I have never heard of any shop with incorrect accounts, money and goods.
But Huo Xi didn't rush in, and just observed outside the shop.
After drinking a few pots of tea, seeing that nothing happened, I thought about it, but I didn't think that something happened in front of the store.
