Chapter 50 Missing Person Notice
Chapter 50 Missing Person Notice
Li Kang wrote until three o'clock last night.
The kind of red grid letter paper.
The first draft, which is eight pages long, is about 5,000 words.
But it hurts to write to him.
"It would be nice to have a typewriter."
Come to think of it, it’s not possible. Where can you find a Chinese typewriter?
Might as well have a computer.
At this time, miniaturized computers had already appeared.
But the price alone can exclude 99% of consumers.
It's really too expensive. A computer costs at least 10,000 yuan.
"Just write it as it is."
Li Kang moved his stiff and numb knuckles.
I lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
Liu Lang and Zhang Yiming in the film are playing the game for the first time.
I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, around four in the morning.
Chen Lijuan, Liu Guangqing and Grandma Cai got up to prepare the buns and soy milk to be sold in the morning.
I saw two children still playing games.
"My goodness, you two little bastards. You don't want to sleep."
"Stop fighting. Go to bed." Grandma Cai said distressedly, "Look at you guys, you have dark circles under your eyes. Don't stay up late to play games anymore. It's bad for your health."
"This game is harmful. When we were young, we had to go to bed at 9 o'clock in the evening. If we didn't sleep at night, we wouldn't have the energy to play during the day."
Grandma Cai started to nag a little.
Liu Lang and Zhang Yiming yawned, "Grandma, let's go to bed. Let's not play so late next time, okay?"
Grandma Cai wanted to nag a few more times, but Liu Guangqing stopped her in time, "Stop talking, let the child go to sleep. Your talking will waste a lot of the child's sleep time."
Liu Guangqing came to the backyard and found the lights were on all night.
Li Kang fell asleep.
He came to the backyard to fetch water, and he moved very quietly for fear of disturbing Li Kang's sleep.
"Dad, you didn't contact my eldest brother yesterday. My nephew has been at our house for three days. You can't keep dragging it on."
"I know what's going on. Don't worry."
Grandma Cai had just finished washing the pot. "My grandson just came the day before yesterday afternoon. It hasn't been three days. Are you dissatisfied with the child taking up too much space?" she said to Chen Lijuan with a warning.
If her daughter-in-law is dissatisfied, she will take severe action to protect her grandson's last bit of dignity.
Chen Lijuan had long noticed that the two old people liked Liu Lang very much, but she didn't expect they would dote on him to this extent.
He immediately changed his words and said, "I am worried about my eldest brother. If we delay, something bad may happen. We should inform him as soon as possible so that he can make a decision. I am also in a hurry."
Liu Guangqing poured the water into the big pot, filling it about one-third full, and then put a rack and a steamer on it.
"Stop arguing. I'll call him during the day and tell him clearly to come back."
"That's not appropriate, my brother is a straightforward person, what if he tells my sister-in-law directly?"
"Don't worry about that. My son isn't that stupid." Grandma Cai was quite confident in her eldest son, and she felt a little disgusted by what Chen Lijuan said.
At six o'clock, the bun stall was set up, waiting for passers-by to buy.
Not enough, there is always a strange smell on the road.
Those who know will naturally understand where this smell comes from.
Because of this smell, the appetite of workers has been affected, and the breakfast stalls that used to have long queues now only have a few people buying.
If this continues, Liu Guangqing and his family will not be able to sell anything in the morning.
"Why don't you move to another location? This place smells a bit strong."
"What was Liu Jun doing last night? Why didn't he clean it up? I'll go get a pipe to flush it out."
Liu Guangqing acted quickly. He connected a water pipe from the faucet in his backyard and flushed the road within 20 to 30 meters around.
This will help to reduce the smell. Then sprinkle some lime to disinfect.
Liu Jun got up at seven o'clock and was scolded by Liu Guangqing.
"What did you do yesterday? Why is the smell still there?"
Liu Jun was a little confused. "Is there still a smell? Yesterday, several families worked together for almost an hour to clean the door."
"I, your father, did it again this morning. No one passing by could hear it!"
"Get up and go to your shift."
"Dad, I don't want to go to work. I think I'll make buns with you guys in the future."
As soon as Liu Jun said this, Liu Guangqing's fist was about to come up.
Liu Lang smacked his lips in his dream.
Liu Jun immediately made a shushing gesture, "Shh~ The two brothers are still sleeping."
Liu Guangqing kicked and beat his useless youngest son and sent him away.
Before leaving, he warned him, "Who told you not to study hard? Even if you want to work in the factory, you must work there for a sufficient number of years."
After sending his disappointing younger son away, Liu Guangqing said to the people in the room, "I'm going to go outside."
Grandma Cai came out and asked, "What are you doing?"
The old man told her his thoughts.
"That's fine too. The kid came to Shanghai to find his biological father anyway. Let him go sooner so we can have less trouble."
"We've had one bad thing after another since he came here."
"There is no evidence, so stop talking nonsense."
Liu Guangqing put his hands behind his back and went outside to find a printing shop.
"Give me two hundred missing person notices."
After thinking about it, I felt that two hundred cards were not enough, "Let's make three hundred."
"I'm calling so much at once, is there a discount?"
The shop was opened by a foreigner who rented the storefront.
"One cent a piece, 28 pieces, I'll charge you yuan."
"It's so expensive. It's too expensive. Make it a little less, maybe twenty bucks. You'll make some money anyway."
When Shanghai people bargain, they are like a dragon-slaying sword.
Almost hit the boss's aorta.
"How can you cut so much? You all know the cost of running my store. The rent, utilities and electricity are very expensive."
"If I don't make money, I'll starve. I won't do it for 25 yuan or a penny less."
……
"Here, twenty-four dollars and ninety cents. Keep it."
After receiving the money, the boss wrote the content of the missing person notice on it according to Liu Guangqing's request.
【Missing Person Notice:
Guo Yixing, male, 15 years old, bald, dark skin. His father, Guo Mingyuan, lives in Ronghua Road, Shikumen. Anyone who finds him can contact his father's home phone number: 021-xxxxxxxx. There will be a reward of yuan. 】
Liu Guangqing was also playing a trick, fearing that others would not help him, so he deliberately exaggerated the amount of the thank-you gift. In this way, he was not afraid that others would not help him.
After seeing this, Guo Yixing himself would probably also call the number.
"Are you sure? Once the printer is turned on, it cannot be changed."
"Let's do it this way." Liu Guangqing nodded and confirmed the order.
I spent twenty-five dollars on a stranger, and it still hurts a bit.
"It would be good if we could help him find his biological father sooner. If he stays around here any longer, he might get into even bigger trouble."
Liu Guangqing was particularly worried that Guo Yixing had learned bad things from those bad kids.
Many people who come from other places to work have parents who go out to work during the day and no one to look after them. When a group of children get together, they cause trouble everywhere.
It caused a lot of trouble for the Shanghai people.
Damaging crops is no big deal, and they also do a lot of stealing.
If it comes to that, there will be no turning back.
