Chapter 54 If you don't have a way, you can ask Uncle Pei.
She glanced at him again, still finding it hard to believe that such a coincidence was possible.
In such a vast world, it is not surprising that people share the same name and surname.
Lin Chang'er nodded to him, "So you are Young Master Wu."
Wu Qingfeng nodded, "Miss Lin."
Bai Shaoan felt neglected, and then said to Lin Chang'er, "In the future, when you cooperate with Uncle Pei, you will inevitably come to Sihai Restaurant often, so we will have many opportunities to meet."
Seeing that you are young, I will take the liberty of calling you "Sister Lin."
Lin Chang'er: "..." Lin what?
"Cough cough cough..." Lin Chang'er almost choked on a mouthful of tea, and coughed for a while before she recovered.
Wu Qingfeng glared at Bai Shaoan, his eyes filled with a look of "How could you be so reckless?"
Bai Shaoan looked completely innocent. He didn't mean anything by it; he just wanted to get closer to the person so he could be the first to enjoy any delicious food in the future!
Wu Qingfeng shook his head. Seeing that Lin Chang'er was coughing rather awkwardly, he still took out a handkerchief from his bosom. However, before he could hand it over, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Wu Qingfeng looked up and saw that Pei Sihai had returned with the documents. He then quietly put the handkerchief he was holding back.
Lin Chang'er took the document and checked it over. Finding no loopholes, she and Pei Sihai signed it and pressed their fingerprints on it. They made two copies and kept them safe.
Pei Sihai cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, saying, "From now on, we'll rely on Miss Lin to make our fortune."
Lin Chang'er smiled and returned the greeting, "Uncle Pei, you're too kind. It's you who helped me make money."
Pei Sihai waved his hand, "I just don't know how to contact the young lady in the future."
Lin Chang'er's eyes darted around, and she said, "When Young Master Wu and I first arrived at the restaurant, the waiter told us that you and Young Master Bai went to the county to buy seafood today, but it didn't seem to go well?"
Pei Sihai nodded, "Does the young lady have connections?" Then, as if remembering something, he looked up at her.
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "To be honest, Uncle Pei, I also sell seafood. Young Master Wu bought his seafood from me these past two days."
Since Uncle Pei is looking for a new path, why not consider me?
"You've seen the items, and the price is negotiable. It's just that the types of items I upload vary slightly each day, and the quantities may also differ."
Pei Sihai's eyes lit up. He could still make his own decisions about purchasing. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, from now on, send any seafood you have to me first."
"In that case, I thank Uncle Pei in advance. The children are still waiting downstairs, so I'll take my leave now." Lin Chang'er smiled and bowed.
Pei Sihai returned the greeting with a bow, and Lin Chang'er was about to leave happily when she heard Wu Qingfeng call out, "Miss Lin..."
Lin Chang'er turned around, "Young Master Wu?"
Wu Qingfeng asked, "That child named Xu Gun'er?"
Lin Chang'er was taken aback. Remembering what happened yesterday, she knew that he had asked, so she replied, "After he finished paying respects to the old beggar yesterday, he found our house on his own and said he wanted to repay a debt of gratitude."
Seeing that he was kind, loyal, and clever, I had my mother adopt him as a godfather so he could live with us, support each other, and have someone to rely on.
Wu Qingfeng nodded, "Have you inquired about their background?"
Lin Chang'er said, "He's just a pitiful child."
Wu Qingfeng frowned, seemingly thinking of something, but ultimately didn't say anything, only reminding him: "If you want to keep them in long-term, you should get their household registration sorted out as soon as possible."
Lin Chang'er took a deep breath. In this era, not having a household registration would be considered as being a vagrant or a thief. Being caught harboring a "thief" was no small matter.
He immediately thanked him, saying, "Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Wu."
Wu Qingfeng waved his hand, "If you don't have any connections, you can ask Uncle Pei."
After saying that, he winked at Pei Sihai.
The latter hurriedly replied, "I have a distant relative who happens to be handling household registration matters at the county government office."
Lin Chang'er nodded, "In that case, I'll trouble Uncle Pei to ask about the specific procedures for me. If it requires any bribes, I'll need to prepare how much silver I need so I have a better idea of what to expect."
Pei Sihai readily agreed, "Leave it to me."
Lin Chang'er thanked him again, and Pei Sihai personally escorted her downstairs.
Bai Shaoan stood at the window, watching Lin Chang'er lead the two children out of the Sihai Restaurant before turning to Wu Qingfeng and asking, "Third Brother, isn't the household registration a matter of just a word from you?"
Wu Qingfeng looked up and gave him a silly look.
Bai Shaoan made two more "oh" sounds, as if he had figured it out, then suddenly thought of something else, "Wait a minute, Third Brother, aren't you being a little too concerned about Lin Daiyu?"
Wu Qingfeng frowned, his ears suddenly burning. He picked up his teacup and pretended to drink tea. "What makes you say that?"
Bai Shaoan said, "You don't care, but you're asking so many questions like you're investigating a case, even where they live? You don't care, but you're asking about the little beggar her family took in?"
Wu Qingfeng's gaze faltered for a moment before he retorted, "If Uncle Pei wants to cooperate with her, I naturally have to be extra careful. Otherwise, if something happens to her, wouldn't it implicate Sihai Restaurant and my aunt?"
Bai Shaoan said "Oh," nodded, but still felt something was off. Wasn't this his jurisdiction? What could possibly happen?
I wanted to ask him something more, but seeing his enigmatic expression, I decided not to.
Lin Chang'er took the two children out of the Sihai Restaurant and told them about her plan to cooperate with the restaurant.
The little goldfish immediately grinned, his eyes practically disappearing into his teeth, "Mommy is so amazing!" He also knew he had to work even harder to help his mother with the chores.
Xu Gun'er didn't have as many thoughts as the little goldfish; he just felt happy and looked at Lin Chang'er with eyes full of admiration.
Lin Chang'er bought two portions of pastries on the way, one for the children and the other because the old lady had helped her for two consecutive days, so she had to give back.
Unexpectedly, before he even got back to his stall, he ran into Grandpa Zhou under the big camphor tree at the entrance of the market.
The old man, sitting on the oxcart, greeted her cheerfully, "Girl, you're finally back. I've loaded the things from your stall onto the cart for you. The old lady who watches the stall has gone home first."
Lin Chang'er looked at the sky and realized that the time had passed. She apologized, "I'm so sorry to have troubled you. You must have been waiting for a long time."
He then took out two coins from his pocket. "I still need to buy some things today. Would you please go ahead and have a bowl of tea while you wait for me?"
Grandpa Zhou chuckled and declined, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, I'll just wait here."
"Please accept this," Lin Chang'er said, stuffing the two coins into his hand.
"Then I'll try some tea from outside today," said Grandpa Zhou, who then accepted the money and helped load the remaining buckets and baskets for Lin Chang'er onto the cart before going to have some tea.
Before leaving, he took a package from the basket on the oxcart and handed it to Lin Chang'er, saying, "This is a package from a steamed bun seller who said it was sent to you by your sister Gu."
Lin Chang'er smiled and took it, then opened the oil paper package and found that it contained 10 buns.
Thinking that Sister Gu's business wasn't doing well, and that Little Goldfish and I hadn't gone to help her today, I wondered if she had sold out of her steamed buns.
There probably aren't any, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many buns to give her.
Lin Chang'er's eyes darted around, she beckoned to Xu Gun'er, whispered a few words, and counted out a handful of copper coins from her purse and gave them to him.
Xu Gun'er took the copper coin, patted his chest, and said, "Don't worry, Sister Chang'er, I'll definitely handle it well..."
After saying that, he smiled at the little goldfish and ran towards the market.
