Chapter 608 (1/2)
Shen said sheepishly: ”Xiaojuan, it costs a lot of money to hire a donkey to come to town. I'm not happy to let you spend it. But I'm short of money now...”
”Uncle, we are relatives. Let alone these manners. In the past two years, I have worked in a restaurant in the town and earned a lot of money, which I can afford.”
”Is your friend in town?” Shen asked
”Yes, his company is going to purchase a batch of local products. He came here specially to investigate.”
”Xiaojuan, shall I bring some gifts to your friends?”
”Uncle, you don't need anything. They are high officials. They have a lot of money. They don't need anything. Even if you bring a gift, I'm afraid they don't like it.”
”Well, I'll go to town then.”
The next morning, Xiaojuan hired a donkey to carry Shen to the town.
At noon, came to the landlady's hotel.
Xiaojuan took Shen to Changwen's guest room on the second floor and said, ”uncle, this is my friend. Please call him general manager Chang.”
Shen goods Lang respectfully shouts: ”general manager Chang, Hello, my daughter's job-hunting business please you, thank you very much.”
Chang Wen stood up, helped Shen to his chair and said, ”Mr. Shen, you are very famous in this area. Everyone knows that there is a well-informed Shen.”
”General manager Chang, I make you laugh. I'm a traveling salesman. I can't compare with you.”
Chang Wen said admiringly, ”Mr. Shen, I heard that you have done a lot of good things in your life.”
”Hey, hey... I didn't do anything good. I just want to sell things cheaper. I'm not black hearted.”
”Mr. Shen, I heard that more than 20 years ago, you once picked up a baby girl and gave it to Mr. Shen in the Shen family. That's to do good.”
”Haha... It's not a good thing. That day, I was walking on the road with a peddler's burden. Suddenly, I heard the cry of a baby in the grass by the road. I went forward curiously and saw that it was a baby wrapped in a blanket. The baby seemed to have just been born, so I took her back. I saw that Shen was a bachelor and had not married a daughter-in-law in his forties, A lonely person is very pitiful, so he gave the baby girl to him. ”
”Mr. Shen, where did you find this baby girl?”
After a pause, Shen replied, ”I can't remember exactly where I picked it up. After all, after more than 20 years, I don't have a good memory.”
Shen's eyes are wandering, which makes Chang Wen feel that he is not telling the truth.
Chang Wen asked with a smile, ”Mr. Shen, how many children have you picked up in your life?”
”Just one.”
”Ha ha... If you have picked up several children in your life, you may not remember where you picked them up. However, you only picked up one baby girl in your life, so you should not forget where you picked them up.”
”I'm... I'm old and have a bad memory.”
”Mr. Shen, I heard that Mr. Shen is dead. If Mr. Shen isn't dead, you still need to keep a secret so that Caixia won't go to find her own father. In other words, it's no longer necessary for you to keep a secret.”
Shen shaolang nodded, embarrassed to say: ”general manager Chang, you're right, i... I really don't need to keep secret now. Just now, I'm just a reflex. I don't want to say where Caixia was picked up, so I'll tell you.”
Shen recalled the process of picking up Caixia that day, and later secretly inquired about Caixia's parents.
More than 20 years ago, Shen Huolang was selling goods near Changle Town. At night, he stayed with a family in Changle Town.
The next morning, Shen took the burden to a nearby village.
When he came near the village, he suddenly heard a baby crying in the grass by the road. Shen was very curious, so he put down his burden and went to the grass.
