To avoid worrying his mother, Zhuang Tunan smiled and said to Huang Ling, "Mom, he's bringing me something!"
"Delivering something?" Only then did Huang Ling notice the package next to Zhuang Tunan and asked, "What, what is this?"
"He said it was Ada who brought these things—a mobile phone and a pager!"
Huang Ling looked at the things next to Zhuang Tunan, hesitating to touch them. She handed the cooked food to Zhuang Tunan first and said, "You eat first, I'll handle this!"
Zhuang Tunan took the lunchbox, opened the aluminum lid, and found fried rice inside. A fragrant aroma wafted out, making Zhuang Tunan very hungry. He picked up the spoon and began to eat it bite by bite.
Huang Ling then said, "Take your time eating!"
After speaking, Huang Ling picked up the things next to Zhuang Tunan and walked home. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she called out, "Chaoying, Chaoying!"
Upon hearing Huang Ling's shouts, Zhuang Chaoying assumed something had happened to Tu Nan and rushed out, followed by Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting.
As soon as Zhuang Chaoying stepped out, she saw Huang Ling holding a bag in her hand, with her hand raised high, from a great distance.
Zhuang Chaoying asked, puzzled, "What's going on?"
Huang Ling, still holding the package, said, "Zhennan is back. He said he brought this for me."
"Zhen, Zhennan is back? Where is he?"
"He ran away! He ran away as soon as he saw me. I suspect he's up to no good?"
Zhuang Chaoying pretended to be very relaxed. Of course, he knew what kind of person Zhuang Zhennan was, his own nephew. But he said, "Look at you making such a fuss. Didn't he go with Ada? Ada must have asked him to bring back the mobile phone and pager!"
Lin Dongzhe perked up at the mention of a mobile phone and a pager. He took the package from Huang Ling and said, "Mom, don't worry, I'm here!"
As he spoke, he went to untie the knot in the bag.
Huang Ling said with some concern, "Dongzhe, be careful! Throw it away if you see anything wrong!"
Lin Dongzhe quickly untied the bag and saw the mobile phone on top. Excited, he reached out to grab it.
But when he picked up the mobile phone with the box, his expression changed, and he was so frightened that he dropped the rest of the items on the ground.
Seeing that Lin Dongzhe's expression had changed, Zhuang Chaoying quickly asked him, "What's wrong? Dongzhe!"
Terrified, Lin Dongzhe pointed at the package and said, "There's a dead rat inside!"
Zhuang Chaoying was so frightened that she took a step back and didn't dare to say a word.
Upon hearing that it was a dead rat, Huang Ling felt much relieved and said to Zhuang Chaoying and Lin Dongzhe, "I thought it was something serious! It's just a dead rat."
As Huang Ling spoke, she approached the bag, took out the three pagers inside, and then threw the bag containing the rats into the trash can.
Zhuang Xiaoting, who was standing nearby, said, "Mom, Dongzhe, you two go wash your hands! This dead rat carries a dangerous contagious disease. Maybe we should just leave it!"
Lin Dongzhe was reluctant and quickly said, "That won't do. This is worth tens of thousands of yuan. How can you just give it up like that?"
Zhuang Xiaoting, still shaken, asked, "What if there's an infectious disease?"
"It's just a dead rat, just disinfect it!"
After speaking, Lin Dongzhe went inside, put on a pair of gloves, took a bottle of alcohol, wiped the outer packaging boxes of the mobile phone and pager with paper, then opened the boxes and threw them into the trash can.
Lin Dongzhe played with the mobile phone for a while with great interest, and finally reluctantly handed it to Zhuang Xiaoting, saying, "This is a gift for you!"
Zhuang Xiaoting was still a little worried when she went to pick it up.
Zhuang Chaoying said, "Take it! It's just a dead rat, not a chemical weapon from the Japanese devils. Just disinfect it!"
After listening to her father's words, Zhuang Xiaoting took the mobile phone and started playing with it cautiously.
Lin Dongzhe picked up a pager, hung it on his body, then picked up another one and said, "I'll go deliver one to Brother Tu Nan."
Go!
Zhuang Chaoying watched Lin Dongzhe skip and hop out of the yard, and a smile appeared on her face.
Zhuang Tunan watched his mother leave the newsstand, and he was naturally very worried, but he couldn't run over to her, so he could only continue eating.
At that moment, a voice came and said, "Hello, comrade, we are from the Municipal Bureau, and we are here for an inspection!"
Zhuang Tunan, who was engrossed in eating, looked up and saw Li Yong, the policeman who shared his hospital room!
Upon seeing Zhuang Tunan, Li Yong smiled and said, "Oh, it's you! You own this newsstand?"
Zhuang Tunan nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, officer! What's the matter?"
"Since you sell newspapers, you must read them, right?"
Zhuang Tunan smiled awkwardly and said, "No, I haven't seen it. Today is the first day of trial operation for my newsstand. We'll see how it goes, and it's not certain whether we'll actually open for business!"
At this point, a policeman said, "They're saying you don't have a business license, so you're operating illegally!"
Li Yong rolled his eyes at the policeman and said, "How can you talk like that? Don't you know that special circumstances require special treatment? He's disabled, a fellow patient of mine who stayed in the hospital with me, and I know that he injured his leg while chasing a thief, which was also an act of bravery. How can you talk like that?"
When Li Yong questioned the policeman, his face flushed red, and he quickly said to Zhuang Tunan, "I'm sorry, comrade!"
Zhuang Tunan was a little embarrassed and said, "It's okay, it's okay!"
Li Yong said, "How about it? Do you need any help? I can help you get a business license."
"I'm already in the process of applying, it just takes time. Our trial operation was approved by the neighborhood committee!"
"Okay, here's the thing. It's very chaotic in Guangzhou right now. There was a gang that kidnapped women for illegal sex work, and they were recently busted by the police. So the Ministry of Public Security has issued an order to carry out a nationwide crackdown on prostitution and illegal publications, and to search all business premises for pirated books and pornographic videotapes!"
Zhuang Tunan then realized what was happening and said, "Oh. I understand. I will definitely cooperate fully with the police officers."
Li Yong glanced at Zhuang Tunan's newsstand and said, "I see that everything here is new; you must have gotten it from the post office!"
"Yes!" Zhuang Tunan hurriedly said, "My parents went to the post office to deposit it around 3 o'clock!"
Li Yong nodded and said, "As long as they are all genuine, that's fine. I know your actual situation, so I won't check your business license!"
"Brother Tunan, Brother Tunan! Look what this is!"
Lin Dongzhe walked out of the alley with an excited expression, but when he saw the police guarding the pavilion, he was dumbfounded and stunned.
Zhuang Tunan hurriedly said to Li Yong, "My brother-in-law!"
Li Yong smiled and said, "I know, I've seen him at the hospital!"
Lin Dongzhe gave Li Yong a mechanical smile, then turned to go back. He knew that his big brother, the pager, was definitely not from legitimate sources, and if the police found out, he would definitely be in trouble. So he wanted to go back.
Li Yong said to Lin Dongzhe, "Hey, comrade, why are you so afraid of the police?"
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Lin Dongzhe quickly smiled at Li Yong and said, "No, no, it's just that ordinary people have a different feeling when they see the police, so I'm not used to it either!"
"Oh, really? The people's police serve the people. Don't worry, we are good police officers!"
"I know, I know, Officer Li is a good person, I know!"
"What are you holding in your hand? Can I see it?"
"this,,?"
Lin Dongzhe hesitated!
Li Yong joked, "You didn't steal that thing, did you?"
