Qin Anan sat up with a start.

It's still dark outside.

In the early winter morning, the wind was bitingly cold.

Mom and my older sister were already getting ready to leave for school, talking quietly in the yard.

“Mom…Mom!”

Qin Anan can already clearly call "Mom".

Hearing An An's voice, Feng Jingrou hurried into the house despite feeling cold. Seeing that the little one had already crawled out of the quilt, she quickly put a thin cotton coat on her.

"Mom...Mom, brother...brother..."

“Let’s go, let’s go…”

Qin Anan's little body kept struggling towards the door, very anxious, and her newly grown mouth sounded like a little stutterer when she spoke.

"Brother? An An, do you mean brother?" Although An An's speech was still unclear, Feng Jingrou took care of her 24 hours a day, and the mother and daughter were connected by heart, so she immediately understood what she said. "Your brothers are still sleeping. Let's play with you after they wake up, okay?"

Feng Jingrou didn't realize the seriousness of the matter yet and was just trying to coax the child with a smile.

“No no…Brother…Brother…”

Qin Anan pointed in the direction of the stairs with obsession, the anxiety in her eyes almost tangible.

[Mom, please take me to my second brother's room! My second brother...he ran away!]

Qin Ting packed the chili sauce that she was going to bring to her classmates today, put it on a flatbed cart, and went into the house to see An An. She just happened to hear An An's thoughts.

The mother and daughter looked at each other.

Qin Ting raised her foot and ran upstairs.

Although she didn't understand what it meant for her second brother to "run away", there must be a reason why An An was so anxious.

Sure enough, not long after Qin Ting went upstairs, she hurried downstairs holding a piece of paper.

"Mom, Mom!" she cried in panic. "Qin Ling left a letter saying he and his classmates were going to work in the south!"

Feng Jingrou was shocked and hurriedly took the letter.

I read it quickly.

The gist of it was that Qin Ling had heard from a classmate that his cousin was making a lot of money moving bricks at a construction site in Pengcheng, so they all agreed to go to Pengcheng together. Once they got there, they would call the brigade headquarters to let their mother know they were safe and not to worry.

"This child! How can he be so ignorant!" Feng Jingrou was angry and anxious, her eyes instantly turned red, and her hands holding the letter paper couldn't stop shaking.

Qin Ting suddenly remembered that her second brother said a lot of strange things last night.

He told his eldest brother to take care of his health and stay up late less, asked Qin Li to grow up quickly and help his mother with the housework, and said that he wanted to make money to buy toys for An An... It turned out that everything had a traceable track, and he had planned to go on a long trip a long time ago.

But why?

Life is clearly getting better and better!

"Mom... chase... chase... my brother!" Qin Anan pointed outside the gate and said anxiously.

Feng Jingrou calmed down. An An was right. Instead of worrying about it, it would be better to set off immediately. Maybe they could still catch Qin Ling back.

"Tingting, let's go find the village chief first!"

Li Cunsheng is the head of Huaihua Village. You can always go to him if you have any problems.

Qin Ting immediately helped push the tricycle out: "Mom, you hold An An and sit on the tricycle, I'll ride!"

"good."

In the past, Feng Jingrou always took her two daughters on a bike, but now she was too anxious and had no time to refuse.

The three of them quickly arrived at the village head's house. Li Cunsheng and Zhao Guihua came out with their clothes on. When Feng Jingrou told them what had happened, they became extremely anxious.

"Who did Qin Ling go out with?" Li Cunsheng asked.

"Li Aihua, the eldest son of Li Yinling, and a classmate from another village." Qin Ting replied. Qin Ling mentioned it in the letter.

Li Cunsheng's expression started to frighten him, and he immediately called out to his sons.

"Shuizhu, go to your aunt Yinling's house and see if Aihua is there?"

"Tiezhu, quickly gather the villagers and ask them to help look for them. You need a letter of introduction to buy a train ticket, and the children either evaded the fare or climbed onto the train mid-journey. Have everyone split into two groups: one to the train station, and the other to the nearest railway track to our village. If you find the two children, bring them back!"

Li Tiezhu and Li Shuizhu were still in their warm beds, but after hearing what their father said, they were no longer sleepy. They jumped out of the beds, put on their cotton-padded jackets, and hurried out the door in the cold wind.

Zhao Guihua comforted Feng Jingrou, "Don't worry, Qin Ling is not a reckless child. He will definitely be able to protect himself."

"Yes, there aren't many trains from our city going south, and the earliest one probably hasn't left yet. If we leave quickly, we should be able to bring the two children back."

Feng Jingrou nodded vigorously, but her face was pale from shock, and looked especially pale on this early winter morning when all the leaves had fallen.

Qin Anan stretched out her little hand and held her big hand, which was frighteningly cold.

The nearest railway to Huaihua Village is at least ten kilometers away. Feng Jingrou was afraid that riding a bike would be too slow, so she remembered that Li Cunsheng's cousin had a tractor and wanted to ask him to drive the tractor there.

Unfortunately, Li Cunsheng's cousin and his family drove a tractor to visit relatives yesterday. Perhaps they drank too much and did not come back last night.

Now, there is only one tractor in the village.

"I'll go find Qin Feng!" Li Cunsheng knew that the Qin family would not tolerate Feng Jingrou. If Feng Jingrou went to borrow money, they would definitely take the opportunity to make things difficult for her. So he simply got on a 28-inch bicycle and went to ask for it himself.

However, what he didn't expect was that Zhou Cuifen didn't even give the village chief the face. When she heard that she wanted to help find Qin Ling, she directly told Feng Jingrou to give up the second-floor apartment, otherwise she would not help.

Li Cunsheng scolded her harshly, but the tractor was in her house and the handle was in Qin Feng's hands. She refused to use it and no one could do anything about it.

Even though, that tractor originally belonged to Feng Jingrou's family...

Feng Jingrou held Qin Anan in her arms, and together with Qin Ting, they stood behind a sycamore tree and watched from afar.

When Qin Ting heard Zhou Cuifen laughingly saying that the eldest son's paralysis and the second son's disappearance were all retribution from Feng Jingrou, and who knows what would happen to the youngest son, she rushed out like a little tiger, slapping Zhou Cuifen's face left and right, more than a dozen times, so fast that Li Cunsheng couldn't react.

"Dare to curse my mother? Curse my brother? I will beat you to death!" Qin Ting's eyes turned red with anger, and she didn't care what a shitty second aunt she was.

Zhou Cuifen was pinned to the ground and beaten, unable to fight back.

She could only cry and threaten: "You dare to hit me? If you hit me, I won't give you the tractor, and your brother will definitely get lost if he runs away to the south!"

Qin Ting slapped her on the mouth: "Shut your dog mouth!"

Qin Anan clenched her fists tightly: [Big sister, you hit me well, it's so satisfying! But...]

She asked the Super God System in her heart: "Is it too late to ride the tricycle to chase the second brother?"

Super God System: "Master, Qin Ling is very close to the train tracks. The tricycle will definitely not be able to catch up!"

The little kid pursed his lips into a line, feeling complicated.

What should I do if I can't get a tricycle? Do I really have to trade my two-story house for a tractor from that fat guy?

Feng Jingrou became even more anxious when she heard An An's voice.

Just when the balance in her heart was about to tip towards compromise with Zhou Cuifen, the heavenly sound of a truck engine reached her eardrums.

[Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law is here!] Qin Anan immediately looked at the majestic truck and the handsome Xi Lang in the driver's seat, and her beautiful big eyes suddenly lit up.

Xi Lang stepped on the brakes and the truck stopped steadily.

He rolled down the window and shouted, "Qin Ting, get in the car!"
