Chapter 42 "Sui Sui, look at the little sweater that mommy knitted for you... (2) "Grandpa!" This "Grandpa" was so sweet and crisp that it made Grandpa Gu smile.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why Mo Sui went to the orphanage to adopt An An and brought her home. This child could make people forget all their worries. "Old man, the child is already calling you. If you don't take her to see the frogs, see if she is willing to pay attention to you!" Cen Yanjun glared at him and said unhappily. "Go, who said not to go?" Grandpa Gu stood up and waved at An An, "Grandpa will take you to see the frogs! " The little girl was so excited that she shouted for joy, caught up with her grandfather and put her little hand into his palm. It was already eight o'clock, and Cen Yanjun didn't know where her husband got the confidence from. He actually thought he could take the children to find frogs. Driven by curiosity, she also picked up her bag and went out with them. Grandpa Gu reported a place name and asked the driver to take them there. The Gu family's car stopped at the door of a food court in the downtown area of the north city. An An asked in a baby voice: "Grandpa, where are the frogs?" Grandpa Gu pointed to a bullfrog hotpot restaurant not far away: "Let's go." "Okay! Let's go! " An An followed him, and the grandfather and grandson entered the hot pot restaurant in high spirits. That night, An An saw bullfrogs. When they entered the bullfrog restaurant, the enthusiastic waiter came forward. Grandpa Gu was embarrassed to just look at the bullfrogs without ordering anything, so he ordered a Sichuan-style bullfrog hot pot. Who would have thought that the Sichuan-style hot pot was so spicy that the lips of the old couple became red and swollen. After returning home, the grandfather told her that bullfrogs are not frogs, but just a large edible frog. But even so, Xiaotuanzi was already very satisfied. Seeing this, Cen Yanjun and Grandpa Gu were also heartbroken . Satisfied. In the evening, Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui came to take An An home. Little Tuanzi heard them tell grandpa and grandma that the child was still alive. Who was still alive? An An didn't understand, but her parents and grandpa and grandma were very happy, so she was also very happy. After returning home, the couple coaxed An An to sleep. Mo Sui couldn't sleep, so he tucked in the quilt and went into the study alone. It was late at night, and Gu Yicheng knocked on the door of the study. The light in the study was dim, she lowered the curtains, held the mobile phone, and was very quiet. Gu Yicheng put the hot milk in front of her: "Drink some milk and go to bed early." Mo Sui handed him the phone: "Look. " Together, they looked at the few photos in Mo Sui's phone. They were photos of the child. The baby was over a month old, fair and tender, and especially cute. With red eyes, she gently stroked the child's face in the photo: "She should be very different now. Even if she stands in front of me, I may not be able to recognize her." After a pause, she asked again: "Yicheng, can we really find her?" Four years have passed. During these four years, Mo Sui regretted countless times that she should not have gone to film and should not have left her child at home for work. During the period when her psychological problems were the most serious, the thoughts in her mind were even more bizarre, and she almost forced herself to collapse. But no matter what, she never thought that the child was still alive. Will God really care about them so much? … The police officially opened a case to investigate and search for the child. For several days, the couple came to the police station every day to inquire about the progress of the case. The police checked Mo Yaqin’s travel records four years ago, and then started with her relatives and friends, asking if anyone knew the secret of the year, and investigated which child who was declared dead that day had not gone through the formal procedures. Mo Yaqin was too cunning. She was able to get a death certificate and cremation certificate by faking it in the hospital. She was not simple. But her condition became more and more serious. Now she has become a person with no civil capacity. Her testimony will not be accepted and she will not be arrested. Where did the child go? If she really considered Mo Sui’s career and couldn’t bear to do it, it is very possible. The child might be sent to a very far place. So far that the mother and daughter might never meet by chance again. In the vast sea of people, Mo Yaqin, the only one who knew the key information, had no way to cooperate in recording a statement to provide clues, so the police reminded the couple not to hold out too much hope. Looking for this child is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But they would never listen. Now Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui are eager to find their daughter. During these days, the couple went to the nursing home many times. Mo Sui tried everything, begging, getting angry and even threatening... But Mo Yaqin looked dull and didn't know what she was talking about at all. It was time to return to the crew. But Mo Sui had no intention of doing that and just wanted to stay at home and wait for news. "The police said that they found out that she had been to Ling City during those days. Lingshi is my father’s hometown, she might have gone to pay respect to him.” Mo Sui said, “On the third day after she returned home, she called me and said the child was gone. " The police have begun to investigate whether Mo Yaqin abandoned the child in Lingshi. It could be to a childless family or an orphanage. But there are five orphanages in Lingshi, and there are many cities around it. They don't know where Mo Yaqin originally sent the child, and they are even less sure how many months old the child was when he was sent away. After all , there are many abandoned babies in orphanages. Even if someone abandoned the baby at the gate of the orphanage, it is difficult to determine whether the baby is one month, two months, or three months old just from the baby's growth and development. The investigation may take a long time. Gu Yicheng helped her pack her suitcase and said, "Go to film with peace of mind. No matter what method you use, the child will be found."
Mo Sui knew that now was not the time to be anxious.
The entire crew was waiting for her, and she couldn't be so willful as to add burden and loss to others for her own affairs.
She nodded, and suddenly thought of An An, and reminded Gu Yicheng to remember to complete the adoption procedures for the child.
And through the conversations between her parents in the past few days, Xiaotuanzi realized a problem.
It turned out that Mom had her own daughter.
"Mom, is that a younger sister or an older sister?" An An asked in a low voice.
Mo Sui picked up An An and let her stay in her arms.
"Mom doesn't know exactly when An An was born, and the dean is not very sure, so I don't know if An An is an older sister or a younger sister." Mo Sui said softly.
Gu Yicheng also sat down beside them, rubbed the little guy's cheek with a smile: "Does An An want to be a big sister or a little sister?"
An An tilted her head and thought about this question carefully.
Last night, she was at her grandparents' house and heard Sister Li say that mom and dad's biological daughter was very important.
In this case, she must take good care of that child.
So An An said seriously: "I want to be a big sister and take care of my little sister."
Mo Sui felt bad.
Children who grow up in an orphanage will be more delicate and sensitive. She doesn't know if An An, who is only four years old, understands so many truths, but no matter what, she doesn't want the child to be sad.
They are looking for their daughter, but at the same time, An An is also important to them.
"An An is also a baby, she doesn't need to be taken care of by anyone." Mo Sui said, "You should be the child who is taken care of, you know?"
An An seemed to understand.
Mo Sui said again: "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad have been too busy these days and didn't spend enough time with you. But we will take care of our own affairs as soon as possible and accompany An An, okay?"
"After Mom's filming is finished, Dad will take a year-end leave, and Mom and Dad will take An An out to play." Gu Yicheng said with a smile, "We will go to a place with mountains and water, An An will definitely have a lot of fun."
An An nodded obediently and said, "Mom should be happy too."
Mo Sui's nose was sour.
Her mood was indeed very complicated.
On the one hand, she was worried about their daughter, and on the other hand, she resented Mo Yaqin's control over her since she was a child, but no matter what, she was her mother.
She never thought that her mother would do something that would hurt herself and her child.
As if she was completely denied, the last bit of faith in her heart was about to collapse. She was sure that if this news had come earlier, she would not have been able to face it at all.
Mo Sui held the child in her arms: "An An is so good, we are not sad."
However, just as she was holding An An tightly, her cell phone rang suddenly.
It was the nursing home calling.
"Miss Mo, I'm sorry. Aunt Mo, Aunt Mo--"
Mo Sui's expression was cold: "What's wrong with her?"
"Aunt Mo's condition has been getting worse these two days. One moment she said you were going to film a movie, and the next moment she said you were taking acting classes. Last night it was even more exaggerated. Aunt Mo said you didn't get 100 points in the exam, and she tore up your test paper."
Mo Sui rubbed his temples.
"When she woke up this morning, she said she wanted to sunbathe downstairs. I went to find an umbrella for her, just like I did a few days ago. But I didn't expect that she would disappear in just a few minutes."
"Disappeared?" Mo Sui's eyes darkened, "How did you take care of her?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Mo, we are also very busy at work. Basically, a caregiver is not only responsible for taking care of one person..." Nurse Huang explained anxiously.
But Mo Sui didn't listen anymore and hung up the phone irritably.
...
Mo Sui and Gu Yicheng went out to find Mo Yaqin.
At this moment, Mo Sui no longer considered other things. He only thought that Mo Yaqin's mental state was sometimes good and sometimes bad. Maybe one day, she would suddenly get better and maybe she could tell the whereabouts of the child.
Time was urgent, so they did not send An An to Gu's house.
Little Dumpling sat in the car, not knowing where they were going, and thought he was just taking a ride.
North City is very big, and they drove across most of the city.
Mo Yaqin's parents' home, Mo Sui's childhood home, her elementary school, junior high school, high school...
But no matter where they went, they couldn't find her whereabouts.
Mo Sui laughed at herself: "Why did I think she was in these places? She is different from other mothers. Even if her memory goes back ten or twenty years, she will not think of looking for me."
Gu Yicheng looked at his wife in the passenger seat with distress.
Mo Sui said nothing on the surface when her mother did such a thing, but the blow she suffered must have been great.
The sun went down, and Huang the nurse called again.
"Ms. Mo, Aunt Mo is back! That's great, she's finally back!" said Huang the nurse.
Mo Sui's face became uglier and uglier.
Once again, she was played around by her own mother.
How long will Mo Yaqin continue to torture her?
"Let's go to the nursing home." She said.
The family of three arrived at the nursing home.
When she reached the door of the suite, she took a deep breath, turned back and said softly to An An: "An An, don't go in, go to the hall outside and wait for your mother."
Gu Yicheng knew that she was afraid of scaring the child, so he took An An's hand and said: "Let's go there to play."
After An An turned around with Gu Yicheng, Mo Sui took the key from the nurse, opened the door and entered the room.
In the room, Mo Yaqin was sitting on the bed.
She lowered her head, knitting a sweater, and her expression was neither fast nor slow.
The light yellow wool was entangled in her hands. When she heard the movement, she raised her head and glanced at Mo Sui.
But after just one glance, she lowered her head again and continued to weave with concentration.
Mo Sui looked at her and slowly approached.
Originally, she was filled with anger.
But at this time, the sun was setting, and the golden light fell on Mo Yaqin, who did not look anxious, but very quiet.
Mo Sui suddenly felt that this feeling was familiar and strange.
When she was a child, she had relied on and trusted her mother wholeheartedly.
From childhood to adulthood, Mo Yaqin had controlled her.
When she was a child, Mo Sui did not know how to resist, but after growing up, she did not want to resist.
Because Mo Yaqin was also very pitiful.
In that era, she had no education, no proper job, and she had to make a living with her daughter alone. She suffered too much.
Mo Sui did not want to become her, but she understood her.
But now, Mo Sui felt that she was too ridiculous.
How could she understand Mo Yaqin?
Mo Sui walked forward slowly, and all the past events appeared in front of her, and her eyes gradually became wet.
Mom is very stubborn, but no matter what, is that love fake?
When she was young, her mother was short of money, but she would add a poached egg to her noodles when she went out for dinner.
When she grew up, her mother had a stable job and tried to take her to the park to play bumper cars.
During the confinement period, her mother made her rich confinement meals and did not allow her to touch cold water. She had to heat the water first and then cool it down before washing her hands...
Mo Sui always thought that Mo Yaqin loved her.
At this time, she walked step by step to Mo Yaqin's side and asked softly: "Did you really throw my daughter away?"
Mo Yaqin did not even raise her head and continued knitting.
Mo Sui's face was pale, and one hand tightly grasped her knitting needles: "Where is she?"
"Who are you?" Mo Yaqin pushed her hand away, her eyes widened, "I don't know what you are talking about."
She tried to push Mo Sui away.
But she didn't have enough strength, so she roared angrily.
Mo Sui was startled: "Don't you recognize me?"
"Who are you?" Mo Yaqin's voice suddenly raised her head and screamed, "Get out of here right now! Don't think that we orphans and widows are easy to bully."
Mo Sui's hand holding her wrist subconsciously loosened.
Outside the suite, a baby voice sounded.
"Dad, I want to protect Mom!"
Little Tuanzi broke free from Gu Yicheng's hand and rushed in.
She ran to Mo Sui, spread her two little hands, and protected her mother tightly, just like when her grandmother played eagle and chicken with her.
At this time, Mo Yaqin stood up from the bed.
Mo Sui was afraid that she would hurt the child again, so she subconsciously protected An An.
However, Mo Yaqin smiled.
She walked towards An An with the wool in her hand, showing the most gentle smile in these years.
"Sui Sui, look at the little sweater that your mother knitted for you." She unfolded the sweater and compared it in front of An An.
Huang, the nurse, also heard the scream from before and ran over in a hurry.
As soon as she entered the suite, she hurriedly said, "Aunt Mo, you are confused. This is not your daughter."
"My daughter has very round eyes with a little raised tails. Her nose is very straight, unlike the flat noses of other children. The mouth is the same, even when she is not smiling, she looks like she is smiling." Mo Yaqin frowned, looked at nurse Huang as if she was looking at a fool, and touched An An's head lovingly, "Our Sui Sui is going to be a big star when she grows up." "
It's inexplicable. I raised our Sui Sui alone. How could I not recognize my own daughter?"
Nurse Huang smiled and coaxed Mo Yaqin as if coaxing a child: "Does this child look a lot like your daughter when she was a child?"
"They don't look alike, she is my daughter." Mo Yaqin said stubbornly.
"Yes, yes, how can a mother not recognize her own child?" Nurse Huang helped her sit back on the bed, "She is not your daughter, but your daughter's child in the show. But when the show was broadcast, someone said that they looked a bit alike."
Mo Yaqin didn't understand, but it didn't stop her from frowning and looking at Nurse Huang with hostility.
At this time, Mo Sui's brain seemed to "boom" and she couldn't think.
She stood there blankly for a long time, and a small thought popped up in her heart unconsciously.
The police said that maybe Mo Yaqin abandoned the child to the Lingshi Orphanage, and she had always followed this line of thought and never considered other possibilities.
Mo Sui turned around and looked at Gu Yicheng.
Obviously, he thought the same as she did.
This idea was too absurd, and they did not dare to indulge in it. They just stared at An An with a nervous look.
"What do you mean by similar? Do you want to see the photo of my daughter? This is my daughter."
Mo Yaqin stood up, walked slowly to the closet, and looked at Huang the nurse warily.
It was not until Huang the nurse covered his eyes and said that he did not want to see it that she reached out and took out a long wallet from under her thick clothes.
Then, she took out a very old and almost yellowed photo from her wallet: "Look, we went to the photo studio to take a photo of my daughter on her fourth birthday."
Huang the nurse took a closer look, then turned back to look at An An, his eyes widened.
