50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 85 Shopping
"Then let's go have breakfast first, and then go find Teacher Tong. Is that okay?"

"That's better. Let's go." Hearing this, Nannan was about to pull him out.

"Wait a minute, I still need to wash my face and brush my teeth."

"What's the point of washing your Bao Gong face? No matter how many times you wash it, it's still just a black ball."

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm a lot whiter this year than last year. If you don't believe me, compare yourself." As he said that, he leaned his face over to show Nannan.

Nannan pushed his face away in disgust and ran into the yard.

Just as the two were making a fuss, the doorbell rang. He had someone ring this doorbell in the winter.

The main reason was that the front door was too far from the room, and no one at home could hear the knock on the door, which was very inconvenient. He had no choice but to press the electronic doorbell, which led directly to the living room.

Nannan went to open the door while he continued to wash up.

"Brother, Teacher Tong is here." Nannan's voice came from far away. Sun Zhiwei quickly wiped his face clean and used a wet towel to press down his hair that was curled up due to sleep.

When he returned to the living room, he just happened to meet Tong Jiajia coming in.

"Jia Jia, why are you here so early? Nan Nan and I were just about to pick you up."

"Today is a holiday, and all my colleagues in the dormitory got up early. I couldn't sleep in, so I had to get up." Tong Jiajia replied with a smile.

"Then you must not have had breakfast. Let's go out to eat together." Sun Zhiwei didn't wait for her to answer. He walked up to her, took her left hand and walked out.

Tong Jiajia blushed and let him hold her hand, and her little hand tightened along the way.

The two have been in a public relationship for more than half a year, and small acts of intimacy like holding hands are very normal, as long as they are not in a crowded place.

This girl is good in every way except that she is very shy.

When Nannan saw that the two of them were holding hands, she ran over and held her brother's left hand, and the three of them walked out of the house, one holding the other.

After walking a short distance, I saw a breakfast stall at the corner of the alley. There was a sign hanging on the stall that read "Public-Private Partnership Cooperation Group."

Although it is called a joint venture, in fact, it is still run by the original people, but multiple stalls are formed into a cooperative group. Each stall must report accounts regularly, pay taxes consciously, and operate in a standardized manner.

At this time, large-scale businesses have completed public-private partnerships and are dealing with a larger number of small or micro private owners and vendors.

The three of them found an empty seat and sat down. Nannan ordered sugar-coated steamed buns and fried dough sticks. Sun Zhiwei was afraid that she would choke, so he ordered a bowl of soy milk for her.

He and Tong Jiajia ordered a bowl of tofu pudding, and the other ordered mutton soup. They also ordered two fried dough sticks, a fried cake, and a sugar-coated roll.

The three of them started eating the delicious food at the stall while listening to other diners chatting.

"Have you heard? This morning a child was lost in the alley to the south. The whole family is crying."

"Do you know how it was lost? We should also pay attention to it. If we see it, we will kill it immediately."

"I heard that he was a goldfish seller who lured children with his goldfish, and then he would put the goldfish into a bucket and walk away."

"Oh, that's scary."

"Yes, now we don't let our baby go out alone."

"What does the street say?"

"I heard that the militia is already conducting a dragnet search. He definitely can't escape."

"Yes, it's good to have militia. We should also be careful of strangers."

"Uncle, I remember your second son is in the militia, isn't he?"

"Yes, the second son in the family is strong and handsome, and he immediately caught the captain's eye."

The neighbors nearby were envious when they heard this.

Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically, cheers and shouts were heard from the front.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people dragging a disheveled man from a distance. A young man who had almost finished his breakfast quickly shoved down the rest of his breakfast and ran over to watch the fun.

After a while, the young man came back excitedly and said, "We caught the kidnapper and he's being brought here."

"Really? Then we have to go and have a look."

Many diners at the stall couldn't stay still after hearing this, and those who hadn't finished their meals also took their bowls over to watch the fun.

The girl listened carefully with her ears perked up, holding the fried dough sticks in one hand and reaching for the bowl of soy milk with the other, eager to try and follow suit.

"Bang!" A pair of chopsticks hit her hand.

"Ouch."

"Just sit down and finish your breakfast. Don't think about anything else."

"Sister-in-law, look at my brother." Nannan rubbed her hands and complained.

Tong Jiajia just smiled with a red face and said nothing.

Nannan sighed in frustration, "Teacher Tong, you need to stand up straight! If you keep doing this, my brother will bully you to death."

Sun Zhiwei glared at her fiercely: "Eat yours, even fried dough sticks can't stop your mouth."

Nannan was scolded and could only take a big bite of the fried dough stick and continue to drink the soy milk.

In fact, Sun Zhiwei also wanted to watch the fun, but he couldn't let the girl imitate those old men and women and carry their bowls over.

The three of them just quickened their eating pace and finished their meal in a short while. Sun Zhiwei paid half a pound of food coupons, one ounce of oil coupons and 4 cents.

Tong Jiajia wanted to pay, but he stopped her. Nannan urged her, "Brother, hurry up."

The three of them left the breakfast stall and ran towards the crowd of onlookers in the distance.

There were already quite a few people here. Sun Zhiwei led the two of them into the crowd, and lively sounds came from inside.

"Yes, hit him hard."

"You dare to come to our street and kidnap children? You are courting death."

"Hit him."

"Ouch, Auntie, please be careful, it hit me."

"Oh, my eyesight is not good, I'm sorry, young man."

Sun Zhiwei and the others were behind the crowd. He was tall and could see some things, but Nannan was so small that she could only jump around below by pulling on his clothes.

"Brother, I can't see, please help me." Sun Zhiwei couldn't help covering his face when he saw the girl's excited and anxious look to watch the fun.

When he saw that the usually quiet Teacher Tong had a similar expression, he immediately said, "Follow me."

After the two men had stood behind him and held on to their clothes, he squeezed in through the gap in the crowd.

He was so strong that he could cut the crowded crowd into two parts in an instant like a knife cutting butter.

In a few moments, the three of them reached the innermost part of the crowd and finally saw what was happening inside.

The man who had just been arrested had been tied to a tree, with two armed militiamen standing guard. On the ground lay the kidnapper's tool: a goldfish pick.

The crowd around was criticizing the bad guy, and children kept throwing stones and clods of earth at him, beating the crutcher until his head was bleeding.

The two militiamen nearby were accidentally injured by the crowd from time to time, and they had no words to suffer.

Nannan stopped letting the sheep go after she entered the crowd. She broke free from Sun Zhiwei's hand, ran to the children, borrowed a few small stones from them, and then joined the children in smashing the crutch.
