Reborn in the world, starting from looking for relatives for Zheng Juan

"Okay, why don't I listen to you? I won't be out in the afternoon." Seeing that Lu Tian wouldn't let go, Zheng Juan relented.

"This is great. There are many bad people during the Chinese New Year. You are so good-looking and I am not with you. What if someone tries to trick you?"

It was originally what Lu Tian was thinking, but this time he blurted it out, and he couldn't take it back even if he wanted to.

"What's good about me..." Lu Tian's words made Zheng Juan suddenly feel shy. She turned away and fiddled with the corners of her clothes with her fingers.

Lu Tian also felt that he was a little abrupt and coughed twice, "Juanzi, I'm leaving then. Remember, you can't go to the stall in the afternoon."

After saying that, Lu Tian put on his coat, scarf and cotton hat and left home.

…

After working all morning, Lu Tian and Luo Shibin cleaned up the five rubbish dumps of optical prints.

At noon, the three of them went to a state-owned hotel to drink tofu nao.

"Boss, why don't you go home to spend time with your partner today?" Luo Shibin took a sip of tofu curd and raised his head and asked.

Lu Tian dusted some chili powder into the tofu and said, "There will be a party at the station in the afternoon. Everyone has to attend. Didn't I inform you?"

"Binzi and I are not even temporary workers. How could we be notified of the party?" Shui Ziliu brushed the bangs on his forehead and whispered softly.

"Yes, everyone in the sanitation station is avoiding us, but you, boss, stay close to us." Luo Shibin said, holding his big teeth.

"I can't help it. You all gave me gifts. It's just a matter of shortcomings." Lu Tian said with a smile.

Looking at Lu Tian's smile, and then at the water flow beside him, Luo Shibin rubbed his hands, "Boss, why do I think you look so much like Brother Shui when you smile?"

After hearing Luo Shibin's words, Lu Tian raised his head and looked towards Shui Ziliu, who happened to look over at Shui Ziliu as well.

Their eyes met, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of Shui Ziliu's mouth.

Seeing Shui Ziliu's smile, Lu Tian thought to himself: "Luo Shibin is right, he and Shui Ziliu are really similar."

Although I worked with Luo Shibin and Shui Ziliu for almost a month, most of the time was spent outdoors. In the winter of Jichun, dripping water turned into ice, so I was tightly covered outside.

Even if his face is exposed, it still has two big red cheeks. It’s hard to see his true appearance without looking carefully.

Today is the first time for Lu Tian and Luo Shibin to have dinner together.

After entering the house, I took off my hat and scarf, and my face returned to its original color. Only then could I take a closer look.

Luo Shibin has pretty features and looks like a girl;

Lu Tian also has handsome features, but he looks more manly.

Seeing the water flowing in front of him, Lu Tian couldn't help but ask: "Brother Shui, how old are you today?"

"I have no idea."

"Don't know? How come you don't know? Don't you have family?" Lu Tian asked confused.

The water flowed by itself and he put down the spoon in his hand, bit his lip lightly, "Is it okay if you don't say anything?"

Seeing that the water flowing by itself seemed to have something unspeakable, Lu Tian said: "Brother Shui, I'm just asking casually. If you don't want to say it, just don't say it."

"Then just say it, there's nothing hard to say."

The water flow straightened the collar of his coat and licked his lips with his tongue, "Boss, I really don't know when I was born. When my father picked me up, I was about three or four years old. I was three years old.

, I’m still four years old, or five years old, my parents can’t tell.”

"Brother Shui, are you adopted?" Lu Tian asked in surprise.

"To be precise, I picked it up. For my parents, it is even more of a blessing."

Having said this, Shui Ziliu paused for a moment and then continued: "My father and my mother have five children in total. They are all girls. They have always wanted a boy, but they have never been able to have one.

One day before the liberation of Jichun, my dad came home from work and there was a three or four-year-old boy squatting in front of the house. That boy was me.

My dad brought me home, and from then on, I became the youngest child and the only boy in the family.

Although I am a pick-up child, my five sisters are very kind to me. If there is delicious food at home, they come to me first.

Later, my sisters got married one after another, and my parents were gone too. I was the only one left in the family.

That's all my life, nothing more."

After saying that, Shui Ziliu's hand inadvertently touched his hair, and his eyes turned red.

Hearing Shui Ziliu's words, Lu Tian's heart moved, "Shui Ziliu was adopted before the liberation of Jichun, and he was also picked up before the liberation of Jichun. Is there any relationship between us?"

But I also thought that before and after the liberation of Jichun, many children were lost, and it was not surprising that they were all picked up at this time.

Thinking of this, Lu Tiandao said: "Brother Shui, what a coincidence, I was also adopted by my father before the liberation of Jichun."

"Really? What a coincidence." Shui Ziliu didn't seem to take it to heart and said calmly.

"Okay, let's not talk about the past. It's too disturbing. I'm going back to the station now to attend the party. You can go wherever you like.

Remember, don’t forget to come to the station to sign in at night." Lu Tian stood up and said.

"Boss, remember this. If you don't sign in, the other side of the street won't let you go." Luo Shibin said with his big teeth propped up.

…

Back at the station, the table in the conference room of the sanitation station was moved out.

The chairs were arranged in a circle in the conference room, and the latte art and balloons gave the conference room a festive atmosphere.

Entering the conference room, Lu Tian grabbed a handful of melon seeds and found a corner to sit down.

If all the employees at the station had not participated, he would not have wanted to join in the fun. All he wanted to do was go back early.

Lu Tian couldn't help but look forward to seeing Zheng Juan this afternoon without leaving the stall.

…

Small market, main entrance.

After all, you can earn three or four yuan by selling candied haws in the afternoon, so it would be a pity not to go.

After thinking about it, Zheng Juan didn't listen to Lu Tian this time. After lunch, she pushed the candied haws on a shelf alone to the main entrance of the small market.

Last time, Lu Tian beat the bad guys away here, Luo Shibin and Shui Ziliu spoke. Even if Lu Tian was not around, none of the blind people around the small market would dare to cause trouble.

It was almost five o'clock, and all the more than one hundred bunches of candied haws that Zheng Juan had brought were sold out.

Carrying a bag full of cents and cents, I felt so happy. I put away the candied haws rack, pushed the cart, and headed home.

It was different from usual. When we went home together with Lu Tian before, Lu Tian had to go back to the sanitation station to sign in, so he always took a detour. This time, Zheng Juan was alone, so there was no need to take a detour.

After all, there is a light strip between the small market and Tianping Hutong, so it would be too far to take a detour.

Zheng Juan chose the shortcut and prepared to go through the small street of Guangzipian and return to Taiping Hutong.

By this time, the sky had darkened, and although the sound of firecrackers could be heard sporadically, not many people were walking around in the small street.

Zheng Juan deliberately speeded up her pace, she wanted to get home ahead of Lu Tian.

At noon, I promised Lu Tian not to go out to the stall in the afternoon. If Lu Tian knew that he had gone out to the stall, he would definitely be unhappy.

Zheng Juan was very concerned about Lu Tian's thoughts and didn't want to make Lu Tian unhappy, not at all.

As I was walking, several young men wearing yellow cotton monkeys came towards me from the alley.

Looking around, Zheng Juan's heart trembled, "No, it's a narrow road. Why did we meet these people again?"
