Chapter 54 National Disappearance
Chapter 54 National Disappearance
Of course it tastes good! That's a fine wine specially brewed by Lord Long for us common folk!
Hey! How did you know? Do you work on Longsheng Street? Do you know anything else? Tell us!
Mu Long squinted at his mother-in-law sitting next to him, wondering why she was so interested in his Longsheng Street. Recently, because he was going to renovate Longsheng Street, it had not been open to the public.
Hey! You can't even answer a question properly! How rude of you!
Do you have any relatives with the Liao family? Why are you all gathered here drinking Lei Cha (擂茶)?
Our children are all students at Jinyong Academy. Hearing that today is the old lady's birthday, they specially brought some delicious food to the Liao residence to wish her a happy birthday.
Oh! I see! It seems the students at Jin Yong Academy are all respectful and good students!
Do you think these vouchers issued by Longsheng Street are actually valid? I was planning to use them to buy some daily necessities at Longsheng Street.
I just don't know why all the shops on Longsheng Street are closed? Otherwise, every street is the most lively! My little grandson goes for a stroll on that street every day after dinner.
Yeah, I heard they recently opened a night market on this street! You know how boring nighttime is? It's so dark, I don't know what to do!
Grandma, you can invite two or three friends to go square dancing on Longsheng Street tonight! If you get hungry, you can try the street food on Longsheng Street. It's really delicious!
Little girl, how did you know that Longsheng Street has recently introduced street vendors? I didn't see any when I went to Longsheng Street last time!
Haha! You still need to ask? This little girl is definitely talking nonsense!
Just as Zhuzhu was about to say something, Mulong covered her mouth with his big hand.
Okay! Little one, I know you're promoting your uncle's Longsheng Street. But there are some things we can't say carelessly.
Zhu Zhu nodded, and just as she was about to say something, she came up with a good idea. Since Zhu Zhu's little mouth was covered, she could only wave her little hand at Mu Long.
Knowing that his niece wanted to whisper something to him, Mu Long squatted down and put his ear close to Zhu Zhu's mouth.
Uncle, you could actually add some small stalls to the main street of Longsheng Street. These stall owners would be ordinary people. This would make Longsheng Street more approachable! And with the participation of ordinary people, I think Longsheng would definitely become even more lively.
Hmm! Your idea is indeed excellent! But have you considered this question? Will ordinary people be able to provide services to customers?
Isn't it said that the customer is king? Do ordinary people even know this principle? Will they follow it?
Long Hong saw a strange man talking to Zhu Zhu, and they seemed quite intimate, so she put the water ladle she was holding into the bucket and hurriedly ran towards Zhu Zhu.
Long Hong ran to Zhu Zhu's side and immediately took Zhu Zhu out of Mu Long's arms.
What are you doing? Harassing a minor in broad daylight! Aren't you afraid I'll call the police?
Haha! Ladies, which eye of yours saw me harassing a minor? I was clearly whispering to my niece, okay?
Zhuzhu knew that her aunt had misunderstood Mulong, so she spoke up: "Auntie! He's my uncle, and he's whispering to me!"
I'm sorry you misunderstood! I should have told you who I am!
Mu Wang, who was making tea for the guests, heard his younger brother's voice and immediately went to Mu Long's side.
Why didn't you even greet your elder brother before coming here? Now you're being misunderstood!
Just as Mu Long was about to speak with his elder brother, he heard a series of clanging sounds.
My son! My son! My poor son! Where are you now?
Upon hearing the voice of the "Nation's Mother," Long Hong immediately put down what she was holding and ran to her.
What's wrong, Mrs. Zhang? Why are you so sad?
How dare you ask? It's all because you're determined to find the person who stole the pen! My people wouldn't be so foolish.
Long Hong stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Zhang; Mrs. Zhang! Can we talk about this slowly? Please don't cry like this.
Yes! Look, there are still many guests here! How about this, let's go to the inner room first.
Mrs. Zhang didn't say a word, but raised her hand and slapped Long Hong.
Oh dear! Who is this? Why did they hit Teacher Liao?
Long Hong covered her face with her hands, looking at Mrs. Zhang with a face full of questions.
It was this highly respected teacher, Mr. Liao, who caused my son to go missing. My son hasn't come back since yesterday morning.
Oh oh oh!
When Shuping's mother heard that another classmate had gone missing yesterday, she immediately became agitated.
What happened? Why are the citizens missing too? Could it be that some people have done many bad things and this is all being punished on the children?
When Long Hong heard Shu Ping's mother say this, she went up and hugged Shu Ping's mother, shaking her head at her.
Shuping's mother ignored Longhong's well-intentioned reminder and continued, "That's right! What kind of person am I as a mother! And what kind of person am I as a son!"
What do you mean by that? And who are you? How dare you talk to me like that?
Hehe! You should save those questions for your precious son! Oh! By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, yesterday your son kidnapped me, Shuping, to a deserted field.
What do you mean by that? Is it because my son kidnapped Shuping that my son is now in the police station?
Hmm! That's possible, let me tell you! Instead of wasting your time causing trouble here, you might as well go to the police station to bail someone out.
Mrs. Zhang was terrified upon hearing Shuping's mother's words. Tears streamed down her face, and she deeply regretted not having properly raised her children. She had always believed that as long as she provided sufficient material support, her children would be fine. However, she had neglected their spiritual development.
But! But! But I heard from others that a man in black took away my people!
Oh! Wouldn't that be even better? The school will be rid of a cancer, and our Shuping can once again attend classes at Jinyong School in peace!
Shuping's mother smiled and said
You! You! How can you build your happiness on the suffering of others? Our people have been missing for a day! How can you still be laughing?
