Chapter 408: Greedy pension, lost in search of grandma
Mrs. Shi was so angry that her chest rose and fell. She sneered, "Bah, keep pretending."
"That's not what I saw. You are such a cold aunt. Lan Xiu, you have never cared about Ping Ping and An An, right? Even Ping Ping and An An's tattered clothes were sewed by Grandma Luo alone."
"Anyway, from the tone I heard when you talked to the two kids, there wasn't even a hint of affection in your voice."
"I don't want to think about whether Pingping and An'an will be successful again in the future. Will they be able to help your Luo family?"
Many people present knew that Lan Xiu was unhappy. In the 1970s, people were hungry and cold. Many people could understand Lan Xiu. Did she love other people's children more than her own? What good could that little money do?
But most people think that since you don’t want to support the bloodline left by Captain Luo’s elder brother and sister-in-law, why did you agree to Grandma Luo in the first place?
Why did you accept the pension from your elder brother and sister-in-law?
It’s just one word: greed!
Taking the money but not wanting to manage it, how can there be such a "good thing" in the world?
The director of the nursery had met Grandma Luo and had promised her that he would take better care of Ping Ping and An An, especially because the two children's parents were martyrs.
It's just that Captain Luo was not present, and Grandma Luo had gone back to her hometown. Lan Xiu's words were clearly an attempt to pick herself out, which was really a waste of time.
Political Commissar Chen Yueming's face was as black as the bottom of a stale pot. When Luo Chungeng came back, he would have a good talk with Captain Luo.
National affairs are important, but officials must also take care of their own families.
Mingyue, the wife of instructor Fang Zhou, felt a little pain in her heart. Her eyes quickly turned red. She was so distressed that she couldn't speak. It's pitiful that parents in the world are just human nature...
Sister Chunhua's face suddenly turned unhappy. After listening to the quarrel for several minutes, she didn't want to care about it anymore and decided to help find the child.
Although some soldiers from the army were involved, one more person means more strength. Nong Chunhua and Xueli went to the old family compound to look for the child.
Yu Niannian wanted to take little Qi Yan with her. Xiaoman from Xie Funan's family was still young, so Yu Niannian simply put little Qi Yan next to Funan and took out the toys that little Qi Yan usually liked to play with from her bag. Little Qi Yan started playing with the toys by himself, and she went out to look for them.
Xie Funan patted Xiaoman on the back gently, looked at little Qi Yan, and praised him: "Our little Qi Yan is really easy to take care of."
Xu Mingzhu, who lived at the very end, vaguely heard a loud noise outside. Lin Ting went outside to ask and found out that the child in the family compound was missing.
Xu Mingzhu rubbed her aching waist and said helplessly: "If my waist is fine, I will go find it too."
"Qingchuan has taken the company to look for her. Strength lies in numbers, so good news will be reported back." Lin Ting was worried about Mingzhu being alone at home. Back pain can be very serious. Now that Mingzhu was going to the restroom, Lin Ting had to help her go.
Pingping and Anan held hands and ran on the mountain for a long time, their short legs trembling with fatigue.
Pingping turned around and suddenly saw her sister's face full of tears. She panicked for a moment: "Don't cry, don't cry. We will definitely find grandma."
"Grandma doesn't want us anymore." An An's voice was a little hoarse due to long-term lack of water, and her voice was full of tears: "I want grandma, wuwuwu."
"I want mom and dad too..."
"Then we will follow grandma from a distance, secretly, so she won't find out." Pingping had only one idea in his mind.
"Mom and Dad are just protecting more people in a very far place. They are very busy and just don't have time to come back. When your brother grows up, I will take you to find Mom and Dad, okay?"
"good."
"Brother, don't forget."
The two children were too tired to walk. After walking two circles, they didn't know where they were going. Listening to the chirping of insects in the forest, they suddenly felt helpless. Pingping held back tears and put her big hand on An'an's shoulder. The longer they stayed in the mountains, the more scared they became.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound suddenly coming from the woods. The brother and sister stiffened instantly. Pingping still protected An An behind him, and his small body stood in front.
The rustling sound was getting closer and closer. An An swallowed his saliva in fear and stared straight ahead. Ping Ping was holding a branch that was twice as thick as his arm in his hand and stared at the place where the noise came from.
"Why did you come to the mountains?"
The clear and melodious sound suddenly broke into Pingping and Anan's ears, and the two children thought it was a big tiger coming.
Jiang Zhizhi was carrying a basket on his back. He blinked his eyes and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
She had been in the mountains all day today, digging up ginseng and many other good medicinal herbs. She walked here happily, intending to see what treasures she could dig up on this hill. As she was walking, she unexpectedly ran into two miserable children?
Pingping and Anan had met Jiang Zhizhi before, but Jiang Zhizhi didn't know it.
They leaned against the window, watching this beautiful woman pushing three babies. They saw Jiang Zhizhi smiling so tenderly at her children. They once secretly envied the babies for having such a gentle mother.
Have they also ever wondered if their biological mothers were as gentle as this?
Unfortunately, they haven't seen their mother for a long time.
At this moment, Ping Ping and An An's stomachs growled, and Ping Ping spoke first to reveal who he was.
Jiang Zhizhi thought about it. It was the first time she heard Luo Chungeng's name. However, as she listened to the two children talking to each other, she suddenly understood that they were descendants of the Lietu family.
"We just want to find grandma, but we don't know the way."
"Your grandma, go back and ask. Don't be so impulsive in the future. There are so many adults in the family compound, and the army and soldiers are protecting everyone. If there is anything you need help with, we can ask the soldiers for help."
Facing Pingping and An'an's innocent eyes, Jiang Zhizhi gave a kind smile.
"Just call me Auntie Zhi."
"I have a box of small cakes here. Let you try them." Jiang Zhizhi smiled and took out a box of cakes from his military green satchel. He opened the military water bottle, took out two paper cups, and poured some diluted spiritual spring water for the two children to drink.
"Drink some water first. Don't be afraid. I will take you down the mountain and then send you home."
The spiritual spring water has many wonderful benefits. Pingping and Anan have been wandering in the mountains and are physically and mentally exhausted. They have to go down the mountain soon, so they should replenish their strength and energy.
Pingping and Anan felt a lump in their throats at the same time. Apart from their grandma and uncle, no one cared whether they were hungry or thirsty.
The two children drank two glasses of water first, and then picked up a small piece of cake. Pingping divided the cake into two portions, gave the big one to Anan, and ate the small one herself.
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he directly shared the small cakes in the box between the brother and sister, and said with a smile: "Now we don't have to share, it's just right."
"Aunt Zhizhi, eat." An An shook her head and handed her portion to Jiang Zhizhi. "Grandma said that food is precious. We can't ask Aunt Zhizhi for so much."
"I just ate, so I'm not hungry now." Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "Only after eating the cake can you have the strength to go down the mountain, so Pingping and An'an, hurry up and eat, otherwise Aunt Zhi may not be able to carry you later."
Pingping and Anan couldn't help but eat the cakes obediently so that they would have the strength to go down the mountain and not tire Aunt Zhizhi.
After talking about the cake, Jiang Zhizhi rested for nearly twenty minutes and then took Pingping and Anan down the mountain.

“Found it, found it!”
"The child is back!"
