Deng Yuehong had just returned to the front desk from the kitchen when she suddenly heard several familiar voices.
Especially that excited and high-spirited "ah-ya," which sounded clear and resonant through the loudspeaker.
How could the sound be coming from above my head? Is it just a hallucination?
She was completely bewildered. When she stepped outside and saw the small figure at the alley entrance not far away, she thought that what she had just heard must not have been a hallucination.
"Little Master, you're here, where are they?"
The little teacher raised her hand and pointed to the top of Deng Yuehong's head under her confused and astonished gaze, "It's up there."
Deng Yuehong could hardly believe her ears. "What did you say?"
“The baby is on the roof of your room.”
Is the little girl on the roof?
How is that possible?
She ran to the front of the house, and just as she looked up, she heard a clear, crisp "ah!" The little one waving her little hands and desperately sticking her little mouth towards the loudspeaker—who else could it be but her daughter?
Wow, this child who can't crawl, stand, or walk yet has already learned to fly.
Now I understand why the shop was covered in dust; the culprit was up there.
"Hey, stop trying to take it. You can't even talk properly. Just stay put and let me do it."
"Attention, everyone below! Attention, everyone below! Good people will be rewarded, and bad people will not escape retribution. If you sell a child today, you might be sold tomorrow. I've already kindly warned you, so it's up to you to decide what to do."
"Sister Xie likes Xu Ying and Xu Lan. If some people don't like them, they can give them away. If you like them, they like them, and everyone likes them."
Without naming names, yet clearly pointing to himself, Xu Jianghai felt conflicted.
He doesn't really like daughters and prefers sons, but daughters are also his offspring. It's not like he can't afford to raise them, so why give them away?
Shishi didn't care whether he had thought it through or not. "Sister Xie, why don't you become the child's godmother? What if Old Xu isn't home, and the stepmother sells the child again?"
“She’s your child, so she can’t be sold. If she is, you’ll have a reason to fight with her.”
Xu Jianghai: ......
Zhou Miao was secretly delighted; if she could, she would certainly want to send that wretched girl away.
She absolutely did not want to raise someone else's child; everything in the Xu family must belong to her son from now on.
Xie Guihua was equally delighted and readily accepted the offer.
“Deputy Battalion Commander Xu, I am willing to be the godmother of the two children. I believe I can take better care of them than Zhou Miao.”
At this point, Xu Jianghai was in a difficult position and could only say that he would ask the two children for their wishes when they woke up. If the children were willing, he would acknowledge them and pay child support; if not, he would respect their wishes.
After what happened today, he was indeed not entirely comfortable leaving the child with Zhou Miao.
Xie Lin was too lazy to go to the bureau again, so he interrogated the two buyers on the spot. They were definitely not swindlers, but when it came to Sun Xuexiang, the two did not know each other.
Zhou Miao, however, specified that it was Sun Xuexiang.
The two sides' testimonies don't match?
Simple.
Shishi showed a picture of a person's face, cut out from a modern photo of Lu, showing only the face and a little bit of hair, enough for the two photographers to recognize the person.
It was confirmed that Sun Xuexiang was the one who had been in contact with them, which stunned Xie Guihua and Xu Jianghai.
The matter of taking pictures of flowers should be handled by the police.
Xu Jianghai promised Xie Lin that he would personally report back and voluntarily hand over three months' allowance, hoping to let Zhou Miao off the hook for Xie Lin's sake.
After this incident, he decided not to recuperate in the hospital anymore; he would rather go home.
Having staked his future on this, what else could Xie Lin say?
Xu Jianghai left Zhou Miao behind for the sake of his unborn child, which meant his life was doomed to end there, unless he risked his life for it.
“Deputy Battalion Commander Xu, this is a one-time exception. If she does it again, she will go to jail even if she gets pregnant, and you can go back to your hometown.”
“I understand. This is a one-time thing. If there’s a next time, I’ll personally escort her in,” Xu Jianghai said, raising his hand in assurance.
The cold words sent a chill down Zhou Miao's spine, and all her little thoughts vanished.
Even though she was unwilling, she didn't dare gamble her freedom and the man's future, so she obediently handed over the 120 yuan of stolen money to the police.
The happiest person in this farce was Xie Guihua. After parting ways, she happily went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy fabric so she could make clothes for her two children.
After spending a few days together, Xie Guihua was confident that the child would recognize her.
Some people are inherently bad. She didn't trust Zhou Miao. Once she acknowledged Zhou Miao as a relative, she could rightfully take care of the child.
When Deng Yuehong saw her daughter being carried off the wall, her heart skipped a beat.
Not only did she scale walls and rooftops, but she also participated in a major event; her child's experiences were richer than those of her, the mother.
"Comrade Xie, would you like to take the crispy pork with you now?"
Just then, her mother-in-law came to pick up the child, and Xie Lin agreed, telling Shishi to return the child to her.
Today, the revolutionary friendship between the two sides has been further deepened. They agreed to take Nannan to play in the family compound next time and left with two boxes of crispy pork.
The head of the family brought all the little ones to the hospital's family compound.
When He Chaoyang returned after finishing his work, he saw a string of relatives and chickens.
Wow, they even brought their pets along when they went out to play.
A whole bunch of chickens were sitting inside eating. They ate the same food as the chickens, and they didn't fight over it or throw any food everywhere, which amazed the neighbors.
There was also a cricket eating grapes alone on a chair, unusually quiet.
An elderly woman leaned against the doorframe and poked her head in. "Dr. He, is this a relative of yours?"
"Yes, Shishi is my wife's older sister's child, Xiao Xie is her husband, and Chou Chou is her younger brother. Aunt Qiu, have you eaten?"
There was no jealousy in the old lady's eyes, only pure curiosity. "Dr. He, why are these three chickens so well-behaved? They eat more politely than my monkey child!"
Her grandson is already 8 years old. He eats like a starving ghost, wolfing down his food as if he's afraid someone else will eat it if he's too slow. And he always makes a mess everywhere.
