"What happened? Did you cut your hand?" When cousin Fang Fang saw Jiang Shuyao coming out covering her finger, which was still bleeding, she quickly came over to help find a band-aid with medicated powder.

"I didn't notice it and cut it, it's okay." Jiang Shuyao said as she worked. Pingping and Anan were still playing outside and hadn't come back yet, and Hao Yuanchao hadn't gotten off work yet. Only she, her cousin Fang Fang, and Xiao Jiaojiao were at home. Xiao Jiaojiao, who was more than three months old, was much whiter and tenderer than when she was just born. She was usually well-behaved and would only cry when she was hungry and wanted to drink milk at night or felt uncomfortable because of diarrhea. Otherwise, she was a very easy girl to take care of.

No one knew what happened at this time. Jiang Shuyao was dealing with the situation right after she finished speaking when Xiao Jiaojiao suddenly burst into tears, with a rare loud voice. Jiang Shuyao and cousin Fang Fang were startled. They came over to hug her, but Xiao Jiaojiao suddenly didn't want cousin Fang Fang to hug her and leaned towards Jiang Shuyao. Her tendency was very obvious.

"What's wrong? Why don't you want your aunt to hold you? Why are you crying?" Fang Fang's cousin tried to coax her, but it was useless.

Jiang Shuyao saw this and quickly treated the wound on her hand. She went over and picked up Xiao Jiaojiao, "Be good and don't cry. Are you hungry? I'll feed you milk, don't cry."

While holding him, I touched his little butt. It wasn't wet, which meant he hadn't pooped, and he didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere. Was he hungry?

Jiang Shuyao thought about it and carried her to the room to feed her, but she refused to drink and was not hungry at all. Usually when she was hungry, she would grab food by herself when she was held in her arms, but she would not hide away like she did now and just cry.

There was nothing she could do. Jiang Shuyao checked the child all over to see if there was anything wrong with her, but she couldn't find anything. She had to coax her and didn't cook for the time being. She would do it after she coaxed the child. It was always worrying to see this well-behaved child crying for no reason. And she didn't know if it was the psychological effect of her crying or what, but Jiang Shuyao felt panicky and confused, as if something bad was going to happen.

"Cousin, go see where Pingping and Anan are, and call them home for dinner." Jiang Shuyao coaxed her while taking the time to speak to the outside. She didn't feel at ease even after hearing cousin Fang Fang's agreement.

Pingping and Anan will generally not have any problems in the army. Even if there is a problem, it will usually only last for a few hours. It's not summer and they won't go into the river. The firecrackers haven't worn off yet, so they can't run away from the army. They should be safe. Hao Yuanchao is now working in the office and not on any mission, so he shouldn't be in any trouble. Then what about the iron pillars and tree roots that are out?

Jiang Shuyao felt uneasy when she thought of this. Tiezhu and Shugen hadn't called for a while, and no one knew where they were now. Could something have happened to them?

I kind of regretted letting them go out. I had thought that this great movement might only happen once in a lifetime, and it was a turning point in history. It would be good to let them go out and see the world and gain some experience. After all, they still have the next ten years to endure. If they really can't survive, going to the countryside with this experience will make them more sensible and grow a little. People grow fastest outside. I also asked them to make a plan in advance, reminded them not to go to remote places, pay attention to their own safety, etc., so I thought it shouldn't be a big deal.

But this time, I really can't let go of my children if they don't go home for a day. It was okay when they called me a few days ago, but today I suddenly feel so anxious and feel that it is not auspicious. I am inexplicably afraid that something bad will happen. In this day and age, without mobile phones, communication is inconvenient. I really have no idea what the children are experiencing outside. It is useless to worry and get angry. I can't help but regret it. Next time they call, let them go home. They can't stay outside anymore. One or two months is enough. It's time to go home for the New Year.

Thinking of this, the feeling of panic inexplicably disappeared, and the little girl in her arms didn't know if it was a coincidence, but she stopped crying not long after the panic disappeared. She was still sobbing a little, tugging at Jiang Shuyao's clothes and nodding her head for milk.

"Be good." Jiang Shuyao let her get what she wanted, but her heart was still a little distracted. She didn't know where these children had gone. She hoped that nothing would happen to them.

Jiang Shuyao was so worried about him that when Hao Yuanchao came home from get off work in the evening, she asked him if he had called. She also told him about the mysterious feelings in her heart and Xiao Jiaojiao's strange behavior.

Hao Yuanchao laughed at her, "There's no such thing as a mysterious thing. You're overthinking it. They're four boys, not little girls. What can go wrong? Don't worry."

"Besides, isn't this big chain reaction coming to an end? The 'Chairman' no longer meets with the Red Guards or conducts inspections. The troops are gradually returning, and these children will be back soon too. Don't worry."

Jiang Shuyao glared at him, "You're not worried at all, as your second uncle! And who said there is no metaphysics? You are not me, right?" This was about their time travel. Although they received materialistic education in their previous life, the time travel has happened. What's the big deal about this warning? Maybe it's just... bah, it's okay, it's not a warning. The children are all fine. Don't think about it.

Hao Yuanchao smiled and was relieved to see Jiang Shuyao let go of the secret. Not to mention, his right eyelid also twitched in the afternoon, but he didn't want to say it out loud for fear that Jiang Shuyao would worry more.

There's no cell phone contact and no phone calls, so it's really useless to worry. I'd better go to the office after dinner to make a phone call and infer where the children might be at the reception center, to see if there are any comrades there to contact. If they're there, maybe I can still answer the call. I haven't received a call for a while.

Hao Yuanchao thought about it in his mind but didn't show it on his face.

——

On the quiet road in the coastal area, Tiezhu and others squatted on the ground and were still trembling. After a while, the joy of surviving the disaster slowly came over them. This time, it was really too thrilling and they almost couldn't go home!
