Chapter 189 Something Happened

Jiang Xia arrived at the production team and was about to make a phone call. She glanced at Zhou Li, who was staring at her while dialing, and said with a smile, "Second Aunt, can you help me tell my dad not to sell those redwood fish and keep them to dry?"

Zhou Li was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go and help you."

After saying that, she walked out with a smile.

"Thank you." Jiang Xia thanked her and waited until she left before dialing the number.

The phone rang once and was picked up. Jiang's mother's anxious voice came from the receiver: "Jiang Xia, your father didn't come home all night last night. I just found out today that he was taken away."

Jiang Xia's heart skipped a beat. "I'll be back right away! Mom, don't worry, it's okay!"

Jiang Xia hung up the phone and hurried home to pack some information that might be needed.

In front of the courtyard gate, on an open space not far away, Zhou Zhou, Zhou Jie, Zhou Wenzu and several children from the village were playing badminton and skipping rope.

A group of children greeted her enthusiastically when they saw her.

There is no way, the happiness of the past week was all given by my aunt! Playing house, slapping paper dolls, and playing with glass beads are no longer interesting.

Jiang Xia responded with a smile, then hurried into the house.

When Zhou's mother saw her coming back, she smiled and said, "You're back? Your mother-in-law called you today, call her back."

Jiang Xia: "I'm back, Mom. I'm going back to my parents' home tonight."

Mother Zhou was stunned for a moment: "At this time? Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Xia couldn't tell him that his father had been taken away, so he said, "My mom is not feeling well, and my dad is on a business trip. I'm going back to see him."

When Zhou's mother heard this, she immediately said, "It's time to go back. There are no cars going to the city at this time. You can ask your father to take you to the city dock by boat. Put your bicycle on the boat, and it will be more convenient for you to ride your bicycle home from the dock. I will get you your household registration book, bring your family's household registration book, and remind your father to write a letter of introduction. If you can't come back too late tonight, ask your father to find a hotel for you to stay."

Although the city pier is a bit far from the city, it is much more convenient to ride a bicycle back after getting off the boat.

"Okay!" After Jiang Xia agreed, he took some information that might be needed and pushed his bicycle out.

Seeing that Zhou Zhou was still enjoying himself, she said, "Zhou Zhou, Auntie has something to do so she needs to go back to Grandpa's house!"

Zhou Zhou was playing badminton and looked back, then nodded: "Aunt, be careful on the road."

Zhou Wenzu and other children: "Auntie, be careful on the road!"

Zhou Jie: "Niece-in-law, be careful on the road!"

"I'm leaving!" Jiang Xia calmed down amid the cute voices of the children. She waved her hand and then rode away on her bicycle.

Jiang Xia arrived at the dock, and Zhou's father and Zhou Chengxin had just unloaded all the fish off the boat.

Tian Caihua was queuing up to be weighed. She had the most fish in the whole group and her face was full of smiles.

Although the two families now split the profits equally when going out to sea together, they can still earn two to three hundred yuan a day, which is much more than before when they took turns going out to sea!

Tian Caihua is very happy and has a smile on her face every day.

Father Zhou saw Jiang Xia pushing her bicycle over and hurried over to her: "What's wrong? Where are you going?"

"Dad, my mom is not feeling well and there's no one at home. I'm going home for a while."

Father Zhou immediately said, "Wait for me, I'll go to the production team to get a certificate, and then I'll take you there by boat!"

I didn’t know what time I would come back at night, or if I would come back at all, so it would be more convenient to get a business license, and it just so happened that the production team was nearby.

Zhou Chengxin said, "Dad, I can just take Xiaoxia there by boat! Please help me get a certificate! And ask Mom for the household registration booklet while I'm at it."

As he said that, he helped Jiang Xia move the bicycle down the beach and walked towards the family's boat.

Jiang Xia: "Mom gave me the household registration booklet!"

After hearing this, Zhou's father said, "Then I will go and get a certificate for your elder brother."

My son is younger and stronger than me, so he can be more useful than me if anything happens.

Zhou's father quickly issued the certificate and asked the production team to borrow an extra bicycle for Zhou Chengxin to use in the city.

Zhou Chengxin asked his father to inform Tian Caihua when the time comes, and then take Jiangxia to the city by boat.

***On the other end, Jiang's mother had just hung up Jiang Xia's call when the phone rang again.

She quickly picked up the phone: "Hello."

Jiang Dong's voice came from the other end of the line: "Mom, I heard you called me several times? Are you missing your son?"

Jiang's mother: "Your father has been taken away for investigation! Have you done anything recently?"

She had to know the reason before she could think of a way to deal with it.

Jiang Dong was shocked. "I didn't! I've been studying machines recently and haven't done anything else! How could I be taken away? What happened?"

Jiang's mother: "I don't know! If I knew, I wouldn't ask you! I just heard that someone reported your father anonymously."

Today she looked around, made many phone calls, and asked people everywhere, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

She only knew that someone made an anonymous report, but she didn't know what the report was about.

Jiang Dong: "Mom, don't worry, I'll buy a ticket and go back right away, and we'll work out a solution together."

After Jiang's mother hung up the phone, she started dialing again to find someone to inquire about the news.

***After Jiang Dong hung up the phone, Zhang Fuyan asked, "Is there something wrong at home?"

Jiang's mother made many phone calls to the school to find Jiang Dong. It happened that Jiang Dong's roommate met Zhang Fuyan who came to school today, and asked her if she knew how to contact Jiang Dong or his sister. She said that Jiang Dong seemed to have an emergency at home, and his mother had looked for him many times.

That's why Zhang Fuyan came to the institute to find Jiang Dong, and Jiang Dong called home.

"My dad seems to have an accident, so I have to go back. Sister Xiaoyan, thank you for notifying me!" Jiang Dong said this hurriedly and ran back to the laboratory. He had to ask for leave.

Zhang Fuyan said hurriedly, "I'll go back with you. My aunt knows Xia Xia. She knows a lot of people there and might be able to help. I'll have someone buy the plane tickets. When the time comes, we'll get off the plane in a neighboring city and then take a bus back. This way it'll be faster."

Jiang Dong: "No, that's too much trouble for you! Just help me book the plane ticket."

Zhang Fuyan: "It's okay. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I'm going to spend the holiday with my grandpa. I'll go home first to book a plane ticket and pack my things. You ask the professor to open the letter of introduction, and I'll come to you later!"

After saying this, Zhang Fuyan immediately rode her bike home. Her foot was almost healed, at least it didn't hurt when she pedaled the bike. She still had a little pain when walking, but it was no big problem.

Zhang Fuyan called to book a plane ticket as soon as she got home.

Her parents' work requires them to travel abroad frequently, so she is familiar with booking air tickets.

There was a flight at 11 o'clock in the evening. Zhang Fuyan booked two tickets, packed her luggage, and planned to go to Jiang Dong's research institute to inform him what he needed to prepare for boarding.

Jiang Dong just happened to arrive outside Zhang Fuyan's house on his bicycle.

Zhang Fuyan: "There is a flight at 11 o'clock tonight. Do you have your household registration book with you?"

"In the school dormitory." Jiang Dong studied in Beijing and his household registration needed to be transferred to the school, so he had his own household registration book, which he kept in the dormitory.

"Then let's go back to school to get our household registration book, then go eat something, and then go to the airport." Zhang Fuyan went to push the bicycle.

Jiang Dong thought that her foot had not yet fully healed, so he said, "Don't ride the bike anymore, I'll take you!"

Zhang Fuyan thought it was an okay idea since her home was not far from the school, so she jumped on the back of Jiang Dong's bicycle.

Jiang Dong took Zhang Fuyan back to school, went back to the dormitory to get the household registration book, student certificate and other relevant documents, and then went out of the school with Zhang Fuyan to have dinner.

Zhang Fuyan had no appetite for noodles, so Jiang Dong took her to the noodle restaurant that Ye Xian said was delicious.

After eating noodles at the noodle shop, they came to the street to wait for a taxi.

Ye Xian came to eat noodles with her classmates.

Her classmate tugged at her sleeve and pointed at the two people on the street: "Isn't that your boyfriend?"
