Chapter 345: Reporting Safety
Although Old Pan said this, everyone present knew that if he had not taken Wu Jiabao in, this kid would have been deceived to who knows where again.
Lin Xiaotong carefully observed that there was not a single wound on Wu Jiabao's body. Although he was a little thinner, he was in good spirits.
Old Pan definitely didn't treat him unfairly. It was good enough that he provided food and accommodation.
After hearing this, Xiong Chuan burped, the beer taking effect on him, and he leaned against Ren Dongqing.
"So what should we do now? Should we take this kid back?"
There are only three rooms in his house, and they are all full now.
If I bring Wu Jiabao back home, he'll have to sleep on the floor, but that's not a problem in the hot summer.
Wu Jiabao turned his walnut eyes and looked at Xiong Chuan pitifully.
Xie Yi held his forehead, this kid really depends on whoever feeds him.
Old Pan grabbed Wu Jiabao's hair with his big hand and said, "Let me take care of this kid first. The store has been busy lately and we're short on staff."
Wu Jiabao smiled flatteringly at Old Pan with his walnut eyes: "Uncle Pan, I will definitely work hard."
"You kid."
When he first picked her up, if I hadn't kept an eye on her, she would have sneaked to the door.
Run once, fight once.
"Okay, it's already this late, let's all go back. This kid definitely won't run around now."
Old Pan waved the spatula a few times, and Wu Jiabao, like a quail, obediently took the rag and wiped the table diligently.
"Uncle Pan, let's go back first.
Jiabao, we're going to take the train back the day after tomorrow morning. Remember to take some time to call home tomorrow."
Lin Xiaotong stood up, shook her clothes, and talked to Wu Jiabao.
It's very late now, the post office is closed, and the people in the compound are probably resting.
Wu Jiabao was a little scared: "Sister Tong, I'm scared."
Xie Yi's mouth twitched: "Are you still afraid? Your parents treat you so well, what are you afraid of?"
Even if this kid pokes a hole in the sky, Diao Yulian will be there to block him.
Wu Shengli would definitely pat him on the shoulder and then give him a few words of praise.
"My son's strength is really great. Look, the sky has been broken by this kid."
Wu Jiabao forced a smile and said a few words: "I've caused such a big disaster this time. If I call back, I will definitely be beaten to death."
"Okay, I'll call back tomorrow morning, and you can talk to your parents later."
Lin Xiaotong comforted him first.
Although Wu Jiabao would be scolded no matter whether he spoke first or later.
He has to bear the consequences of his own actions.
Wu Jiabao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, Lao Pan, let's go."
Xiong Chuan waved his hand, and the others were about to go back.
Wu Jiabao stared at it for a while, and finally he felt relieved.
Old Pan went into the kitchen and came out after finishing his work. He heard the boy wiping the table and humming a song.
This guy is so careless!
Fortunately, it’s not his own child, otherwise he would be worried to death.
I touched the increasingly thinning hair on my head and felt a sense of sympathy.
…
The next day after breakfast, the three of them went to the post office. They arrived early and there was only one person in front of them, so they waited in line at the back.
Wu Jiabao lowered his head, kept drawing circles on the ground with his toes, and muttered to himself.
Xie Yi pricked up his ears and eavesdropped.
"I want to come here to work during the summer vacation and experience the hard work you put in to earning money."
"I didn't suffer any hardship outside. Now I work in a seafood restaurant."
"It's not tiring, just wiping the table and washing the dishes."
"I'll buy you gifts when I get the money."
Listen, this guy is really good at coaxing people, and he has a lot of sweet words to say.
Wait until the person in front finishes speaking, pays the money and leaves.
It's their turn.
Lin Xiaotong dialed the number, wrapped her fingers around the phone cord, and waited for someone to call Gao Xiulan to answer the phone.
"It's Xiaotong. Why did you call? Are you coming back?"
Gao Xiulan couldn't control the volume, and a slightly distorted voice came from inside.
He took the phone out slightly and replied to Gao Xiulan: "Yes, Mom."
"Xiu Lan, come over here, I want to listen too."
This is Xie Da Jiao's voice.
Wu Jiabao began to tremble uncontrollably.
Xie Yi didn't have time to look at him and moved closer.
She said into the phone, "Mom, Xiaotong and I will take the train back tomorrow morning."
"You kid, why are you everywhere?
The train is tomorrow morning, so it will take a few days to get home.
Your dad and I have prepared braised pork at home and are waiting for you to come back.
Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up."
Gao Xiulan finished speaking quickly.
Lin Xiaotong pulled Wu Jiabao to the front and asked on the phone, "Mom, is Aunt Diao here?
We met Wu Jiabao in Pengcheng. He is fine and is currently safe."
"What? Why is Wu Jiabao with you guys?
Don't hang up yet, wait a minute, I'll ask your dad to go to the compound and call for help."
Gao Xiulan finished speaking in one breath with a hoarse voice. Wu Jiabao listened to her voice and swallowed.
I started to get nervous, my mind went blank, and I forgot all the drafts I had written before.
He whispered, "Aunt Gao, I'm Jiabao... I'm fine."
"You call this okay? Why does your voice sound like a cat?
If my ears weren't working well, no one else would have been able to hear it."
Just as Gao Xiulan finished speaking, she saw Diao Yulian rushing towards her like crazy, followed by Wu Shengli who was only wearing one shoe.
Her husband, Mr. Xie, followed behind, holding the other shoe in his hand.
"Your parents are here, tell them."
"Jiabao—my god, Jiabao—there's finally news about you!"
Diao Yulian's roar seemed to come out of the phone and fell harshly into the ears of everyone in the post office.
Xie Yi covered Lin Xiaotong's ears with his hands. He felt like he was about to get tinnitus.
Wu Jiabao pursed his lips and couldn't hold back his tears, which burst out. In an instant, all the grievances he had suffered recently poured out.
While crying, he said, "Mom, I am Jiabao. I miss you so much, wuwuwuwuwu."
Soon a small pond filled his eyes.
He's not an adult yet, so it's okay for him to cry.
Diao Yulian clutched the phone tightly, her emotions agitated, tears blurring her vision, her voice choked with sobs.
"That's good, that's good. I'll send you some money.
When the time comes, you must follow Xiaotong and Xie Yi back together and don’t run around anymore, okay?
If you don't obey me, I'll really tear your mother's heart apart!"
Wu Jiabao nodded and said in a muffled voice, "I know. I'll take the train back tomorrow."
"Son, you really have to listen to your mother. There's no place like home."
Wu Shengli squeezed in and spoke kindly.
He really almost lost his son, the son he had raised for more than ten years!
It gives me chills just thinking about it.
Wu Jiabao just kept nodding, his eyes and face covered with snot.
Touched the butt and agreed on the phone in advance.
"Dad, I know, can you please not scold me when I get back?
I'm really fine, I don't have any injuries at all.
I'm helping out at the seafood store now, and I'm going to buy some gifts for you and mom later."
Just as Wu Shengli was about to speak, Diao Yulian pushed him away with her butt.
Diao Yulian said with a nasal tone: "Mom won't scold you, as long as you come back safely.
I won’t say any more. Your dad and I will pick you up at the station when you arrive in a few days.
Don’t you want to eat Quanjude’s hanging oven roast duck? Mom bought it in advance and cooked a table full of dishes for you at home.
Gao Xiulan, do you want to continue?"
"Xiaotong, I'll pick you and Xie Yi up with your dad. That's it, by the end."
Gao Xiulan finished speaking quickly and hung up the phone.
Wu Jiabao wiped his tears and squeezed to the front to pay.
He has money in his pocket now. Old Pan stuffed a wad of money into his pocket at the door of his room before he went to bed last night.
He said that this was the compensation for his help in the store recently, and it was supposed to be paid to him in a few days.
Now it seems that he is going to leave too, so I might as well let him do it in advance.
He didn't want it, so Lao Pan hit him on the head again.
"Stupid boy, take this money and buy something for your family, or you'll be in trouble for looking at your butt when you get home!"
He thought about it and kept it, feeling happy when he went to bed at night.
I also had a beautiful dream at night.
"Sister Tong, Brother Yi, shall we go to the street to buy something?"
Lin Xiaotong withdrew her hand that was about to pay.
"Okay, let's go back to Dongmen Old Street. There are many kinds of things there, and the prices are cheaper."
There are ways to get things from abroad and sell them here.
Xie Yi rubbed his ears, and the three of them came out of the post office.
There is sunshine outside and all worries are left behind.
At least at this moment, Wu Jiabao was happy.
