Therefore, someone must guard it.
"Xingxing sometimes dreams of big houses and high walls. I figure that must be her home. Logically, if a child from a wealthy family goes missing, they would definitely send people out to search for her."
It's been a month now, and not a single person has come to inquire. I suspect something might have happened to Xingxing's family; perhaps her parents are no longer alive." Zhao Guihua and her husband had very mixed feelings as they said this.
They didn't want Xingxing's family to come and take their daughter away from them, but they also didn't want Xingxing's parents to really be dead.
"Don't think too much about it. As long as Xingxing is with us, we'll treat her like our own daughter. Just treat her well. She's a good-natured and sensible child, and she's beautiful too. We two couldn't have had such a pretty daughter," said Zhou Laoda honestly.

She gently patted the door with her little hand, and her sweet voice came through the crack in the door, "Five lucky brothers, wake up quickly! After breakfast, we're going to go up the mountain to pick honeysuckle. We're going to work hard to earn money."
