Thinking of this, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.
In her past life, her daughter was kidnapped by a despicable human trafficker when she was only three years old, and she has been missing ever since.
For several years she searched frantically, traveling all over the country, but to no avail.
Later, I heard that the child had been sold to a remote mountain village and was living an inhuman life...
In this life, God gave her a second chance, and she vowed never to let her daughter out of her sight again.
"Mother!"
Zhouzhou suddenly turned her head and immediately saw Su Qingzhi standing not far away.
She scrambled to her feet and staggered toward her.
"Mommy! Mommy!"
She threw herself into Su Qingzhi's arms, rubbing her little head against her leg.
Su Qingzhi slowly squatted down.
"Baby, is it fun? Can the tin frog jump high?"
"It's so much fun! It's really fun!"
Zhouzhou nodded vigorously.
"Brother...good! Brother is amazing!"
The little boy stood up straight and paused slightly when he heard Zhouzhou call him.
Hello, Auntie.
Su Qingzhi was taken aback.
The child is young, but speaks clearly and behaves very properly.
"Oh, thank you for playing with Zhouzhou."
Su Qingzhi smiled.
She bent down and rummaged through her coarse cloth bag, pulling out a few milk candies wrapped in waxed paper.
"Auntie is offering you candy, don't be shy."
The boy looked down at the few shiny candies in his palm, somewhat incredulous.
Seeing this, Su Qingzhi simply squatted down as well, her gaze gently falling on the boy's face.
The boy hesitated, opened his mouth, and secretly glanced at her.
Finally, he slowly reached out and gently touched the candy wrapper with his fingertips.
Su Qingzhi suddenly felt that this child was unusual.
Although his clothes were old, they were meticulously made, and his demeanor showed no signs of awkwardness or embarrassment.
He didn't seem like a child from a poor family; rather, he seemed to have received a good upbringing and been carefully cared for since childhood.
Zhouzhou's little hands never stopped moving.
Seeing that her brother still wouldn't take it, she simply snatched the remaining candy from Su Qingzhi's hand.
"Brother, eat, ahh...give it to brother! It's sweet! Sweet!"
She was stuffing food into her mouth while jumping around, her little face turning bright red.
Su Qingzhi almost burst out laughing when she saw this scene.
But the boy didn't dodge or throw the candy away; he just stood there quietly, his gaze fixed on Zhouzhou.
He glanced at Su Qingzhi secretly, his fingers trembling slightly as he tore open a candy wrapper and gently held the candy to Zhouzhou's lips.
"Little sister, eat."
Su Qingzhi's heart softened.
She clearly saw that he swallowed at least three times, but his first reaction was to hand the candy to the child next to him.
“Zhaozhi”.
Yang Wenlan was walking over from the other end of the corridor.
As she approached, she casually ruffled Zhenzhen's hair.
"Sister Wenlan, is this your child?"
Su Qingzhi couldn't help but ask.
Her gaze swept back and forth between Yang Wenlan and Zhenzhen.
Yang Wenlan always spoke softly to Zhenzhen, but the two really didn't look alike at all.
"no."
Yang Wenlan gently shook her head.
I'll tell you later.
Su Qingzhi immediately realized that it was indeed inconvenient to say these words in front of the child.
We'd had enough fun, and the sun was gradually setting in the west.
Su Qingzhi gently squatted down, took Zhouzhou's chubby little hands, and said softly.
"We should go back to the ward now, Dad is still waiting for you."
Zhenzhen stood silently in place, her eyes following Zhouzhou's little hand.
He stared at it for a long time, a hint of envy in his eyes.
Yang Wenlan saw this scene and her heart clenched.
She gently touched Zhenzhen's head, her fingertips lingering on the top of his head for a moment.
In the end, she didn't say anything, but simply pulled his jacket up a little.
She sighed silently to herself.
This child has such a hard life.
Orphaned at a young age, she is only five years old, yet her maturity is heartbreaking.
The moment the door was pushed open, Shen Zhiyu was staring eagerly at the entrance.
His eyes lit up the moment he saw Su Qingzhi.
"What? Are you afraid I'll take Zhouzhou back to Qingshan Village and leave you?"
Su Qingzhi glared at him, both annoyed and amused.
"Then I will definitely chase after you and bring you back no matter where you are."
Shen Zhiyu said in a very serious tone.
Su Qingzhi rolled her eyes at him.
She picked up a towel, dampened it with warm water, and gently wiped Zhouzhou's little face, which was covered in cookie crumbs.
"Look at you, you're eating like a little kitten."
After wiping, Zhouzhou pounced on Shen Zhiyu.
"Daddy~ Quack quack~ Play~"
Zhouzhou danced with joy, her little hands flailing on the bed sheet.
Shen Zhiyu was taken aback.
"You... played with the frog?"
"Mmm~ Quack quack quack~"
Zhouzhou nodded vigorously.
Shen Zhiyu was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Silly boy, who taught you to say 'quack quack'?"
This little girl is really brave; she even dares to reach out and grab a frog.
"It's a tin frog, the one Zhenzhen played with. Ah Chuan, whose child is that?"
She had wanted to ask this for a long time.
The child was polite and quiet, and got along quite well with Zhouzhou.
But he would immediately shrink back as soon as he saw a stranger.
"Zhenzhen is an orphan."
Shen Zhiyu said in a low voice.
“His father died in the line of duty two years ago. His mother was in poor health and couldn’t take the shock, so she passed away not long after. His grandparents didn’t want him, and his maternal grandparents wouldn’t take him in either. He lived in the factory’s residential compound and would go to the canteen for a meal when he was hungry. He was taken care of entirely by Sister-in-law Wenlan.”
