Chapter 1338 - The Song Couple (66)

On the list was a photo of Nian Chenchen, the year of his birth, and details of when he went missing.

The customers also readily accepted it. Many people didn’t even want the peanuts she gave them, they only took the leaflet and said they would help her keep an eye out.

If she treated others kindly, others would reciprocate.

Ji Xing and Song Yiyan also queued up to buy something to eat and let Nian Chenchen have a taste of the food made by his long-lost mother.

A new customer asked about the situation, and an old customer who often visited told them.

Five years ago, the braised food owner’s son disappeared and she had been looking for him for five years.

During the day, she worked. Every time someone came to her braised food stall to buy braised food, she sent them a bag of peanuts. She gave them the leaflet and asked them to help keep an eye on her son.

At night, she would send leaflets to every place in this city to find her son. Whether it was rain or shine, she had never stopped for a day.

She stubbornly believed that her son must still be alive and that he would return one day.

“The market over here is about to be demolished and will close in two days. She’s just a woman, and the food she sells is so cheap. She pays the rent every month and can’t earn much money, I wonder where she will stay in the future.” An auntie sighed, her heart full of sympathy.

Many old customers were used to eating at her place. It was clean and hygienic, and she was kind. The price of the food she sold was also cheap. In the past five years, the price of other small food stalls has risen, but she did not increase the price at all.

They tried to persuade her to increase the price, but she refused to listen and insisted on the lowest price.

She said that everyone did not dislike her for talking about her son every day and helping her keep an eye on her son. Keeping an eye on her business was a help to her, and she also wanted to repay everyone.

Song Yiyan listened to the customers’ conversation and looked at the notice beside her. The market was going to close the day after tomorrow, these were the last two days.

However, it was still very lively. The merchants didn’t close their doors yet, they were all enthusiastically prepared to do their business for the last two days. They served the old customers who came over to patronize their business for decades.

The auntie said that this vegetable market had been established for more than 20 years. The businesses that had moved in were all old merchants, everyone was still not used to this demolition and to move away!

The area near the market was filled with old neighborhoods. The customers who came to the market were also old customers. After so many years, everyone had developed feelings for each other.

“This family’s braised food is definitely the best in the capital. If you don’t eat it, you will regret it!” The auntie helped the new customer, An Li.

Song Yiyan felt the jade pendant on her chest glow. She could clearly feel the feelings from within, and her nose couldn’t help but ache.

In five years, this mother in front of her must have been heartbroken, but she was still smiling and persisting.

She definitely believed that her child was still alive and well in this world, she would see her baby one day.

Soon, it was Song Yiyan and Ji Xing’s turn.

Chenchen’s mother saw a young and good-looking couple who looked like they walked out of a television show. She smiled and asked, “What do the two of you want to eat? You can choose anything you want from the dishes here.”

Song Yiyan smiled. “Auntie, just choose what you like!”

“Would you young people like my taste?”

Song Yiyan nodded. “Yes we would.”

Chenchen’s mother kept feeling that the girl in front of her had a very intimate aura. She smiled and said, “Miss, it’s your first time here, so I won’t charge you. Look at the leaflet and help me keep an eye on my son.”

Song Yiyan held the leaflet and looked at the child on it. He smiled brightly and was fair and had good features. He looked like an active child and would definitely be a handsome child when he grew up.

However, when she saw Nian Chenchen, she realized that he was skin and bones. He was so thin that it was scary. If she did not know, she would not have believed that it was the same child.

One could imagine how much torture a five-year-old child had suffered to become so thin.

As she got closer to his mother, Chenchen’s emotions were also fluctuating. She could clearly feel his excitement, surprise, and disappointment.

“Auntie, don’t worry. We’ll keep an eye out for you.” Song Yiyan took the leaflet and thought to herself that Zhao Yun was about to call her!

They had already called the police. For such a case, it would definitely be handled by Zhao Yun’s police force. After confirming his identity, they would have to inform Chenchen’s mother.

Zhao Yun probably hated her to the core. She threw one case after another to him, and he was so busy with the rose field corpse case but she gave him another case regarding a missing child’s death.

Chenchen’s mother handed the cold dishes to Song Yiyan.

When Ji Xing took out the QR code in his hand to pay, the auntie refused to accept anything. She said that they can pay next time she comes over to eat. This time, it was her treat.

Song Yiyan did not stand on ceremony and pulled Ji Xing to the side to eat.

Seeing that they only ate cold dishes, Chenchen’s mother gave them two large pancakes and told them to eat it together. She even poured some water from two disposable cups.

Song Yiyan’s emotions were a little complicated. A kind person, no matter how much suffering they went through, would always maintain the kindest heart.

Chenchen’s heart was very heavy. He could only see his mother, but he could no longer hug her or act cute with her.

The customers who passed by looked at them kindly. A few uncles and aunties asked if they were delicious and asked them to eat everything they wanted here. After two days, they would close the shop and they would not be able to shop anymore.

“Sister, your family’s cold dishes are really delicious.” Song Yiyan was not stingy with her praise. She looked at Chenchen’s mother and said, “My boyfriend and I wanted to do a small business, but the two of us haven’t earned anything yet. We only have some money on us, I wonder if you can let us invest in you?”

Those customers just said that doing business here was similar to doing charity. She couldn’t earn much money, but she was able to earn enough money for the rent.

Anyway, Yang Juan gave her a building and took out some money to give to Chenchen’s mother. This was considered a good deed.

A double sense of gratitude came from the jade pendant on his chest.

When Chenchen’s mother heard her say that, she smiled shyly. “How is my skill good? I’m just being vague. You all better find someone else, I can’t do it.”

She was doing this business to look for Chenchen, not to earn money. She could do anything herself, but she could not let anyone else suffer.

“Sister, I like your cold dishes.” After Song Yiyan finished speaking, she asked the customers queuing up, “Everyone, tell me, is Sister’s cold dishes delicious? If she opens her own store, are you guys still going to eat at her store?”

The customers answered loudly that they would definitely go and support her.

The regular customers in the queue also hoped that Chenchen’s mother would be better. If anyone could really help her open a store, her life would be better.
