"Selling buns, one big meat bun for one penny, two cabbage buns for one penny..."

"Wontons, big wontons and small wontons, big wontons are ten yuan a bowl, small wontons are six yuan a bowl..."

The lively shouting sounded on both sides of the street.

A thin body pushed open the store door, and rushed out of the store like a little monkey.

"Boss, here are seven buns, four meat buns, and three cabbage buns."

The child took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and counted them several times before putting them in the boss's hand.

"Today is another seven buns." The boss greeted the child with a smile, as if he was very familiar with the child.

The child scratched the back of his head and gave a smirk. After taking the buns, he ran towards the wonton stall.

After buying buns, wontons and some chestnuts fried in sugar.

The child just went back to the store with a bunch of things.

Chen Qing was picking a piece of stone with a small knife, but she didn't raise her head when she heard his voice.

Lin Pingzhi smiled at the child, "I'm back."

"Yes, Brother Lin." The child secretly glanced at Chen Qing behind the counter, put all the things on the table, and ran to the back kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks out familiarly.

After finishing everything, the child walked up to Chen Qing, and said timidly: "The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, eat, it's time to eat."

The child looked at Chen Qing with awe in his eyes.

That look is like looking at a fairy in the sky.

Chen Qing paused for a moment with the hand holding the carving knife. He was very helpless and wanted to explain that he was definitely not a god, but he couldn't say anything to justify.

After all, they appeared out of thin air in front of the bastards.

Mongrel was the kid's name.

When the black shop appeared the night before, it was a coincidence that this child saw it.

Chen Qing met the child's eyes at that time.

The two stared wide-eyed.

Before he could react, the child fell to the ground with a bang.

At that time, Chen Qing looked confused, is this?

Touch porcelain?

He stepped forward to help the man up, and asked Pingzhi to find a doctor to look at it and found that the child was fainted from hunger.

Chen Qing looked at the child on the bed who had fainted from hunger, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

In the middle of the night, I couldn't find anything to sell.

He went to the kitchen to cook some vegetable porridge, and asked Pingzhi to feed him.

The child woke up quickly.

After the child woke up and found out that he was rescued by Chen Qing, after a long silence, he took out the only valuable thing on his body, a small piece of iron, and gave it to Chen Qing, and wanted to repay Chen Qing for his kindness.

Chen Qing was just doing it casually, not greedy for rewards.

Seeing that he was thin and lonely, like a helpless puppy, he simply left him to do some work in the shop, which was considered to have saved his life.

In this world, if a child is outside, even if he is not starved to death, he will not live long.

As for that piece of iron.

Chen Qing stayed to play with it, and it happened to be the right size to be used as a picking knife.

We finished our breakfast.

The child tidied up the tables and benches neatly, his movements were neat, his eyes were a little bit spiritual, a bit like Kou Zhong, and a bit like Xu Ziling.

Chen Qing and Lin Pingzhi looked at each other.

Both of them laughed, obviously they both wanted to go together.

When the child heard Chen Qing's laughter, his face flushed, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, "Shopkeeper, is there something wrong with me?"

"No." Chen Qing waved at him, signaling him to come over.

The child walked over with his head down.

Chen Qingdao: "Your name is a bit—" He paused, this kid didn't know how he grew up, he looked like seven or eight years old, but his temper was as simple as a child's, and he was so clean that people were embarrassed to say that in front of him. Bad words.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Qing continued under the child's puzzled eyes, "It's hard to pronounce, why don't you give you a nickname, so it's easier to call you."

Chen Qing still can't do such a thing as calling a child a bastard.

The child grinned, revealing a mouthful of leaky teeth, "You can call him whatever you want."

"You appeared in front of our store at Xushi, so let's call you Chen Xu." Chen Qing thought for a while, and said, "This name is temporarily called, and when you want to change your name in the future, you can change it."

"Okay." The child nodded without thinking.

He didn't care what it was called, mongrel or anything else.

It's just a title anyway.

However, since the gods gave him this name, it doesn't matter if he is called this name.

"Shopkeeper, is there anything else?" Chen Xu raised his head and asked.

Chen Qing waved her hand, "It's nothing, you can go out and play."

A big smile suddenly appeared on Chen Xu's face, and he gave him another look with Chen Qing's eyes that hurt his head, and ran out of the shop in a bounce, going to play with the nearby children.

"It's a child after all." Lin Pingzhi looked at Chen Xu's back and said with a smile.

It wasn't long before Chen Xu went out.

After a while, there was a loud noise outside.

It was as if someone was shouting and asking questions.

Chen Qing didn't intend to mind other matters at first, but when she heard Chen Xu's voice, she frowned, and took a look with Lin Pingzhi, "Go out and have a look."

outside.

A dozen or so strong and physically unfriendly men surrounded Chen Xu and a few children.

"Little baby, I remember that you were also on the street that day." Zhou Mu walked out from the crowd. He was not tall, but he carried an extraordinary aura.

Several children were frightened and cried loudly.

Although Chen Xu was a little scared, he was more courageous after all.

"Old man, you, what's the matter with you?"

"Don't be afraid, baby." Zhou Mu patted Chen Xu's shoulder lightly with a meaningful tone, "Did you pick up anything on the street that day? Tell the truth, don't lie, uncle I'll give you money to buy candy later."

Chen Xu was puzzled: "What?"

"Like a piece of iron." Zhou Mu frowned and said impatiently.

"Yes." Chen Xu nodded without doubt.

His mind is so pure that he has no defense against people's hearts.

Zhou Mu's breathing suddenly became heavy. He licked his lower lip and asked eagerly, "Then, where's that piece of iron?"

"What does that piece of iron have to do with you?" A figure passed Zhou Mu like the wind, grabbed Chen Xu by the collar, and lifted him out of the crowd.

Zhou Mu's eyes turned cold, and he looked at the man.

But when he saw the man's face, the murderous aura on his body dissipated instantly.

"Thank you Smoker!"

Zhou Mu cried out.

Didn't this guy go somewhere else?How did you come back to this place?

"Boy, I didn't expect that. You're smart, and I'm not stupid." Xie Yanke said self-righteously.

He shook Chen Xu in his hand, very proud.

The Black Tie Token fell into the hands of this kid, and it was much more convenient to get it back than in the hands of Zhou Mu and others.

"I don't know who they are? What do you want to do with the children in our store." Chen Qing said coldly with a displeased face.

"It's none of your business, get out of here quickly." Xie Yanke said disdainfully without looking at Chen Qing.
