Chapter 57: A New Character and the Past
After taking the train for a long time in a row, the image of the three Li Xia sisters and siblings was very bad, their clothes were wrinkled, and they also exuded a smell on their bodies.
Mixed up and down, the three sisters and siblings only have one face that looks clean.
"A national ID card is a document that proves your identity, and if you don't have it, forget it." Huang Fucheng waved his hand, and now seven out of ten people who come to live in the guest house do not have ID cards.
"What's your name, and how long are you going to stay?"
"Dawn, dawn, summer, let's stay for three days." Li Xia replied as he rummaged through his bag, and took out a piece of letter paper that had been clamped very well, "This is our letter of introduction." ”
In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't need a letter of introduction, but since Li Xia has it, Huang Fucheng still took it and looked at it.
"Looking for someone?" Huang Fucheng was a little surprised, he thought that the three children were looking for their families, or relatives, but they didn't expect to come to find someone.
In recent years, human traffickers have been rampant, not to mention losing children, even losing adults, beating him to open a guest house, every year many people come all the way to find people, but the motherland is so big, people are gone, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is difficult.
Li Xia nodded, her eyes flashed with loss, "My grandmother was lost five years ago, my father was gone on the way to find her a few years ago, my mother ran away, and my hometown suffered another disaster, so I took my younger brothers and sisters to continue looking for it." ”
Li Nan and Li Yang didn't speak, and leaned together silently.
Although their sister had already told them, they didn't dare to speak, but fortunately, they were still young, and it was normal for them to be afraid that people would not speak.
Huang Fucheng sighed, no one can find anyone, what can three and a half children do.
He registered Li Xia's information, and took out a key from the drawer, "The south-facing room on the third floor, the deposit is twenty, five yuan a night, and the room fee is deducted from the deposit." ”
Hearing the price, Li Xia immediately knew that Huang Fucheng was taking care of them.
At this time, most of the ordinary guest houses are charged by the number of beds, each bed in a four-person room is about five yuan, and the super large room with ten to twenty rooms is about three yuan per bed.
Like Huimin Guest House, which has better conditions, it is basically single and double rooms, and the price is at least eight yuan.
In her previous life, Li Xia did not live in Jiang's high-ranking official period, she first came to Jiang Province to find Li Yang, although it was a few years later, but during this time, social prices were very stable, and there was basically no fluctuation.
Although she was very grateful, Li Xia immediately showed hesitation, but after looking at her younger siblings, she began to silently take out the money.
It was all scattered money, and it took me a while to count twenty dollars.
Huang Fucheng was entangled for a while, didn't say anything, collected the money, went to get a set of hot water bottles and basins, and sent them upstairs.
The double room was very clean, the room was very brightly lit, and there was a large desk with a few glasses on it, and a clean spittoon under the desk.
The toilet and shower room in the water room are just across the street from the room, which is very convenient.
It's past three o'clock in the afternoon, and after a simple meal on the train at noon, Li Xia is already a little hungry.
"Put down your things, wash up, go out to eat something and come back to rest, Li Nan, you go first." The water in the thermos was full, and Li Xia motioned for Li Nan to clean up first.
Wei is also very caring, but the clothes he prepared are all new, and on the train, Li Xia and others changed a few sets of clean clothes in their luggage, all of which are half-used, which is more suitable for their current situation.
When he changed his hand, Li Xia took advantage of the time when the train stopped at the big station, and he had already washed it in the train station, but there was no condition to dry the clothes, and it smelled a little.
But I didn't pick it now.
After taking a shower in turn, and drying the clean clothes that they had rubbed cleanly, Li Xia took her younger siblings out of the house.
After going to a nearby small noodle restaurant and eating a bowl of noodles each, Li Xia took Li Nan and Li Yang to find a shop that sold groceries from the north and south, weighed the cheapest biscuits and wheat flour, bought a few knives of paper, and bought brush and ink before returning to the hotel.
Since she was looking for someone, she naturally had to find it, although Li Xia knew that the person she was looking for was in a shantytown in Qingshan City.
Back at the guest house, Li Xia borrowed a pair of scissors from the boss.
"Sister, you can rest for a while." After staying up on the train for a few days and nights, his nerves have been tense, and he is Li Yang, who sleeps the most, and he will see that the bed is a little unbearable, but Li Xia has no intention of going to bed.
"You sleep, I'll sleep later." Li Xia laid out the paper, folded it into the size she wanted, and began to get busy.
Now that she has arrived in Jiang Province safely, what Li Xia has to do next is to successfully settle here and arrange for her Li Nan and Li Yang to return to school as soon as possible.
Listening to the sound of scissors cutting through the paper, Li Xia's heart was calm.
After the paper was cut, she still had to write, Li Xia was not sleepy at all, until she wrote enough for tomorrow's day, she turned off the lamp and yawned and went to bed, and when she woke up again, the sky was already slightly bright, the light was on in the room, and Li Nan was writing something on the desk.
Li Xia got up and saw that Li Nan was copying the missing person notice she wrote yesterday, and she didn't know when she got up to write it, and there was already a thick stack next to it.
She didn't bother him, but went out of the house lightly first, and went to the water room to wash.
"Sister, shall we go out and post it today?" Li Nan looked up at Li Xia who was back in the house.
Li Xia nodded, folded all the written dry, and put it in the rag bag given by the boss who bought paper and pencils.
At this time, there are not many ways to find people, basically relying on walking the streets and alleys to inquire and post missing person notices, and then to publish in the newspaper, it is absolutely impossible to go to the TV station, and now TV has not been popularized nationwide.
"Well, I'll go downstairs to cook the paste first, and you will take her down to me when Yangyang wakes up." Li Xia nodded and went downstairs with cheap wheat flour.
The kitchen and pot are borrowed from the boss, and I have already told him yesterday that I will pay three cents for fuel.
As soon as Li Xia finished cooking the paste, Li Nan and Li Yang came downstairs, and the three of them went to the small restaurant next to them to eat Yangchun noodles, and went out to post the search for the revelation.
"Leave it for me to put on you." Before going out, Huang Fucheng greeted them and advised, "Come back early at noon, I'm an old man who has no taste for eating, so accompany me for a meal." ”
These three children are really well-behaved and sensible, looking strange and distressing, last afternoon and this morning, they ate the cheapest Yangchun noodles, and there were no toppings at all.
Looking at the missing person notices in their arms, they are so thick, and I don't know what time it was last night, just three children, it's really not easy.
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang." Li Xia hurriedly thanked him.
Li Nan and Li Yang also followed behind and repeated.
Huang Fucheng smiled, waved his hand, and signaled them to go early and return early.
"Sister, can we really find this grandma?"
