"Is this your baby?" the older sister sitting next to me said, "She's so pretty, just like the dolls in New Year pictures. And how did you tie her hair? It looks so pretty!"
Lin Qiaoqiao pulled her ponytail over and demonstrated to the woman how to braid it, "Just like this, then like this, then turn it over and braid it."
"You have really clever hands. You can even braid such a complicated braid." The woman felt that her hands were too clumsy and she probably couldn't learn it even if she watched. She remembered that there were candies she just bought in her bag. She opened the bag, took out the paper bag, grabbed seven or eight candies, and stuffed them directly into the girl's hand.
"Auntie, please have some candy!"
The beautiful candy wrappers dazzled Qin Chuchu, and she was at a loss for a moment, looking very cute.
Lin Qiaoqiao could see that her elder sister was sincere in giving the candy, but she thought it was better not to let the child develop such a habit outside, so she took all the candies and stuffed them back into her elder sister's hands.
"Don't let your children get into such bad habits. I'll buy them some candy when we get off the bus."
It was the first time for the woman to see someone who refused candy. "You are too weird, I just thought of giving the child some candy because he was cute."
Lin Qiaoqiao, "Children are still teething, and eating too much candy is not good for them. Thank you for your kindness, elder sister!"
The woman had no choice but to put the candy away, but she could understand it because there were rumors that several children had been lost recently.
So he whispered, "It is said that several children have been lost around here. Sister, this child is so good-looking, you must watch out for him when you go out!"
Lin Qiaoqiao was suddenly shocked. She didn't expect that they were still so rampant in the big city. But think about it, there is no Sky Eye equipment now. Whether it is abducting women or stealing children, even if someone sees it, they may not remember what the other person looks like. That's why they become so fearless and form a powerful chain of interests.
"Thank you for reminding me, I understand!"
Soon they arrived at the station and got off the bus. Lin Qiaoqiao held the hands of both children.
"If someone tries to pull you after you go in, you must shout loudly, don't keep silent, understand!
Xiaoling is responsible for looking after my sister. If there is anything, please tell me."
Qin Ling nodded, "I will!"
Lin Qiaoqiao just entered the shopping mall. Not to mention that there are so many people here, there are a lot of people everywhere. Now I have picked hairpins, headbands and scarves on the first floor. I will go back and give them to everyone as gifts. They should like things from big cities. I also brought some for Li Xiaoyan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They are both good. No matter what I have, I want to give her a gift. So I have to bring gifts. How can I forget them? The friendship between women is like that. If you are good to me two points, I will give you three points, and then we will become good friends.
After buying the gifts, I went up to the third floor and first picked out some children's clothes. Children's clothes of that era were indeed a little bit tacky, but the colors were bright and easily attracted attention.
She spent more than 30 yuan on clothes for the two kids, which was an acceptable price. She went shopping for adult clothes and bought a black woolen coat for Qin Fang for 35 yuan. She thought he would look handsome in this coat. She couldn't help but think of the famous Hong Kong drama Shanghai Bund, where Xu Wenqiang was wearing a black woolen coat.
I have to say that men's clothing is very expensive. When it was my turn, I didn't know what to buy. After a round of shopping, I finally fell in love with a red and white plaid short-sleeved shirt. When the cashier was done,
"Comrade, this red plaid coat."
The teller used a special tool to take the clothes down. There was a little dust on it, so he quickly patted it off with his hands.
"Girl, you have really good taste, this dress is very popular."
Lin Qiaoqiao took the clothes and touched the fabric, she thought it was okay. It's not like she hadn't thought about the difficulty in finding the main fabric for making her own clothes.
A woman doesn’t want to compromise herself at her most beautiful age. Besides, what is the purpose of earning money? Isn’t it to spend it?
The teller pulled out a larger mirror so that she could look left and right.
Lin Qiaoqiao thought it was okay, "How much is this dress?"
"38 yuan, this is the most popular style!" said the teller with a smile.
Lin Qiaoqiao took off the clothes and said, "28 yuan. You have kept this dress for so long. The price I gave you is very reasonable."
The teller hesitated and said, "I'll go ask the team leader. You wait here for a moment."
Lin Qiaoqiao nodded, then put the things she bought on the counter to free her hands.
There wasn’t anything too rare in the mall at that time, so I planned to go back after buying some clothes.
The teller came back quickly and packed the clothes neatly. "Our team leader said that this piece of clothing will be discounted to 28 yuan per piece. You've made a profit."
Lin Qiaoqiao took out the money to pay the bill. She planned to wear this dress to the newspaper office.
Just as I turned around, a child came running towards me. It was a little girl with two braids.
There were several people chasing after me.
The child rushed over and hugged her legs.
"Sister, save me!"
Before Lin Qiaoqiao had the chance to ask what was going on, those men rushed over.
There were three men and one woman, probably in their 30s.
Those people immediately saw the brother and sister standing in front of the counter. They both looked very good.
Lin Qiaoqiao noticed that the children were trembling, so she asked them,
"What are you doing chasing this kid?"
Tao Lili was panicking and tried to pull the child back, but was stopped by the little girl.
"Why don't you let go of my son!"
Lin Qiaoqiao, "Don't you see that the child is scared?"
Tao Lili winked at the people around her, telling them to hurry up and grab the child, as there were too many people here and if too many people gathered, they wouldn't be able to take the child away.
The three men understood what he meant, and at the same time they fixed their eyes on the little girl. The girl looked young and quite pretty.
I thought if I could get it, someone would definitely buy it.
The four of them are human traffickers who have roamed here. Because the people here have a low awareness of vigilance, they have succeeded several times. This business with no capital makes them unable to stop, and they want to sell all the children on the street.
Because nowadays, in the eyes of children, all they care about is how much money they have, and they don’t care about the feelings of their parents at all.
Sometimes I even blame these parents in my heart, thinking that it was their fault for not watching their children carefully and letting them succeed, so everything is their fault, and they also gave these children another home.
So it doesn’t have much impact on the children. They can also make money, so why not?
The people nearby screamed and the three of them rushed over together. The little girl was in great danger!
Several of the men were considering whether to go in to help, but because the other side had so many people, they became scared and did not go up.
