Jiang Li has been calculating the time. It has been three months since his sister was abducted by human traffickers.
It’s not that she hasn’t thought about looking for him, but how should she find him?
She had received news from the Public Security Bureau before and was heading to the Northeast alone. If Shen Changan hadn't arrived in time, she might not have been able to return safely.
Jiang Li was well aware of the dangers outside, especially since it was still the 1970s.
Although most places are simple and honest, there are also some people who like to bully outsiders.
There is only one month left, and in addition to the initial joy, Jiang Li suddenly felt a little nervous.
I wonder if the plot she had seen before will change because of her arrival?
In particular, she went to see her sister once, and asked Lai Erniang to help her keep an eye on the nervous Zeping family.
However, so much time has passed, but no telegram has been received from Lai Er Niang.
To be honest, Jiang Li was also a little restless.
Her life is getting better and better now, and her brother's studies are back on track, but there is no news from her sister, and Jiang Li is worried.
But she couldn't show it. She knew her brother always cared about his sister, but he was also suppressing his emotions.
If Jiang Li discussed this matter openly with him and analyzed the pros and cons with him, his brother might not be able to accept the result.
His emotions finally stabilized, and he gradually caught up with his studies. Jiang Li didn't want to affect him anymore.
However, emotions cannot be deceived, and her occasional loss and distraction were all seen by Shen Changan.
After dinner, Jiang Li went back to the room to take care of the baby, and Shen Changan followed him in.
Jiang Li sat on the edge of the bed and teased her son. Usually at this time, Jiang Li always had a smile on her face and there was light in her eyes.
But at this moment, Shen Changan saw that Jiang Li had a fake smile on her face, and her eyes were dull. On the surface, she was looking at the two children, but in fact, she was distracted.
Although children are small, they are actually very sensitive. They can see whether their mothers are happily playing with them or daydreaming.
At first the children laughed happily, as if they were teasing her.
Later on, I discovered that my smile did not heal my mother, and the smiles on their faces became stiff.
The two babies who were originally laughing happily suddenly stopped smiling and stared at their mother with wide eyes in silence.
They stopped kicking their feet and raised their little hands in the air awkwardly.
"Hahaha."
The two babies laughed intermittently, and they would steal a glance at their mother every time they laughed.
Seeing that his mother was still in a daze, he stretched out his little hand to pull his mother's sleeve.
The second child stretched out his little feet and kicked his mother in the belly.
Jiang Li was still in a daze, and his two little feet stretched out to her belly and stepped rhythmically.
Before Jiang Li could react, she was kicked several times. She suddenly came to her senses and saw that it was the second brother who was making trouble.
Jiang Li put his thoughts aside and smiled again.
Seeing their mother laugh, the two children also laughed.
The eldest brother even grabbed the hem of her clothes and pulled them while laughing.
Jiang Li looked at the two lively and cute children, and the smile on her face became even brighter. The children danced with joy when they saw her.
Shen Changan stood by and watched their interaction quietly.
He originally thought that babies had no emotions, but he didn't expect them to understand everything.
When they see their mother laugh, they laugh too. If their mother doesn't laugh, they try hard to make her laugh.
Why do people have children? Why do we want to have offspring?
Maybe it was their smiles and company that healed us.
The process of pregnancy is very difficult, the process of childbirth is also very dangerous, and there is even more worry after the child is born.
But they are small and have warm smiles. No matter how hard or tiring life is, with their company, they have a home that belongs to them.
Shen Changan walked forward and suddenly opened his arms to hug Jiang Li into his arms.
Jiang Li was startled, and she was relieved when she turned around and saw that it was Shen Changan.
"Xiao Li, you were just in a daze and looked very unhappy. What were you thinking about? Can you tell me?"
Shen Changan's chin gently touched the top of her head, and he asked gently in a calm voice.
A deep and magnetic voice sounded in Jiang Li's ears, making her feel warm in her heart.
"Nothing, I just miss my sister. The Public Security Bureau hasn't heard from her for a long time, and I don't know how she's doing."
"I've been asking someone to help you investigate, but it's been so long since this happened, and the clues have been cut off, so it's been very difficult to find."
"But I promise you, as long as you don't give up, I won't give up either. I will do everything I can to help you."
Shen Changan's voice was not loud, but it brought her endless strength.
"I won't give up on her!"
Jiang Li clenched his fists and answered affirmatively.
"Xiao Li, I heard Jiang Yi was also caught by human traffickers. I've always wanted to know how they, who are already so old, ended up in the hands of human traffickers?"
Shen Changan has always wanted to ask Jiang Li about this matter, but he was afraid of hurting Jiang Li, so he never dared to ask.
Now that she had taken the initiative to mention her sister, Shen Changan also mustered up the courage to ask.
He really wanted to know everything about Jiang Li, but he hoped that she would speak in person rather than hear it from others.
If he wanted to investigate, Jiang Li would not be able to hide many things.
But if that were the case, the relationship between them would not be equal.
He knew everything about Jiang Li, but Jiang Li knew very little about him. This was unfair.
When Shen Changan asked this question, he didn't expect Jiang Li to tell him, but he didn't expect Jiang Li to take the initiative to reveal the truth after struggling for a while.
"Actually, they were not abducted by human traffickers, they were sold by me."
"What? You sold them? You must have had your own reasons. Otherwise, how could you bear to sell your brother and sister if you loved them so much?"
Shen Changan was extremely shocked at first, but then quickly regained his composure and asked very rational questions.
Jiang Li had been secretly watching Shen Changan's reaction. She could understand his shock, but she couldn't understand his last sentence.
How long have they known each other? Especially after she did something so outrageous as getting pregnant before marriage, does Shen Changan still trust her so much?
"I don't really have any hardship. Life is just too stressful, and I don't want them to suffer with me, so I thought of selling them. Maybe the traffickers will find them good families."
"At least they don't have to go hungry and wear cold clothes like me. I can barely make ends meet, let alone pay for their education."
"I thought they would be fine without me. But then Jiang Yi escaped from the traffickers. He was so smart and strong, he begged me not to sell him and was willing to do anything for me. That's when I realized how wrong my decision was."
