"Old man, it's not that I don't want to do it for you, but your daughter hasn't come yet, and the documents are incomplete. Look, this mall is so big, why don't you wait somewhere else and come back when your daughter arrives?"
The old lady stubbornly said, "No, I have to wait here. What if my daughter comes and can't find us? She will be here soon, and we are relying on their marriage certificate to buy a house."
The female staff member wanted to say something, but the child screamed "Wow" again.
"How about you comfort the child? It's no use for him to keep crying."
The old man held the child and said in embarrassment: "The child is just hungry. Wait until my daughter comes and feed her some milk."
Staff: "Didn't you bring some milk powder or something? Feed him first."
The old man said: "The child is so young, why would he want to eat formula? Breast milk is the most nutritious. Besides, my daughter has plenty of milk."
The staff looked at the crying child with worried expressions on their faces.
A half-bald, pot-bellied man emerged from the registration desk. He looked like a leader and said to the female staff member, "What's going on out there? Why hasn't it been handled yet? The leader's already downstairs, and he's still dithering."
The female staff member nodded and bowed, "Director, it will be ready soon."
Then she turned to the old lady and said, "Why don't you stand a little further away? You see, I'm in a dilemma too..."
The old lady also looked embarrassed. She didn't want to embarrass the other party, so she could only coax the child and walk away silently.
When Liu Xia passed by, her eyes were all on the child.
She suddenly stopped, and Zhou Mo was pulled to a stop with her.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Mo followed Liu Xia's gaze.
"I'll go over and take a look." Liu Xia pulled her arm out of Zhou Mo's arms, walked over to the old lady, and asked with concern: "Auntie, what's wrong with the baby? Why is he crying so hard?"
The old lady sighed, "I guess he's hungry. I was in a hurry to leave and didn't have time to bring the bottle."
The child was crying so hard that Liu Xia couldn't bear to watch it.
Her own baby looked about the same age as this child. Liu Xia, who hadn't seen her child for over a day, felt heartbroken when she heard the crying.
"Where is the child's mother?" Liu Xia asked.
"There's probably a traffic jam on the way," the old lady said. "Her mother's workplace is far away. Even if there wasn't a traffic jam, it would still take her dozens of minutes to get here."
Liu Xia thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, how about this? I'm also breastfeeding, and my child looks about the same age as this one. I'll feed him."
The old lady heard of such a thing for the first time and looked at Liu Xia in surprise.
Liu Xia was afraid that the old lady wouldn't believe him, so she took out her cell phone and showed her photos and videos of her little treasure.
"It's not good for you to just waste time like this and let the child go hungry. It's easy for the child to have problems if he cries for too long," Liu Xia said gently.
The old lady was still a little skeptical, but seeing that Liu Xia was gentle and kind, and that her figure was a little plump, as if she had given birth to a child, and seeing the child in her arms crying so hard that she felt heartbroken, she reluctantly agreed.
Zhou Mo looked around and said, "Let's look around first to see if there is a mother and baby room."
Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to breastfeed in public.
The old lady nodded, "Okay."
The three were about to leave when a group of neatly dressed people in white shirts and trousers came from a distance.
The leader looked very young and dignified, with standard and capable short hair and deep features.
Zhou Mo recognized the person at a glance.
Because that face is hard to recognize. It cannot be said to be exactly the same as Han Ji, but it is at least 80% to 90% similar.
You can tell at a glance that it is Han Ji's twin brother Han Chi.
The biggest difference between the two is probably that Han Ji wears frameless blue-black metal-framed glasses with very thin lenses. They don't look like myopia glasses at all and are probably for decoration.
Han Chize doesn't wear glasses, his hair doesn't cover his forehead, his ears, or his neck. He wears a standard white short-sleeved shirt without a tie, black trousers, and a red badge on his left chest, looking like a typical veteran cadre.
Zhou Mo and others were standing at the door of the registration office, and with the child crying and making a fuss, they attracted a lot of attention.
When Han Chi and his group passed by, they couldn't help but take a second look at them.
When the people at the registration office discovered that the leaders had arrived, they hurried over to call them. The "director", who had been pot-bellied and fierce-looking, immediately came out and greeted them with a smile.
"Assistant Han, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person..."
He was about to go up and greet them, but he was still some distance away from reaching Han Chi when Han Chi changed his route. He quickly walked over to Zhou Mo and the others and asked with concern, "What's wrong with the child?"
Zhou Mo was still stunned. Although she recognized Han Chi, it was not easy for her to "recommend herself". If Zhou Mo said that she was Han Chen's girlfriend in public, it would be suspected of trying to get close to her.
Pretending not to know her, Zhou Mo said, "The baby is hungry. Let's go find the mother and baby room to feed her. We'll be leaving soon."
"Well, as long as the child is fine."
Han Chi turned around and glanced at the crowd behind him.
A younger guy who had been following Han Chi was very perceptive and immediately stepped forward, "Assistant Han, please tell me what's going on."
"Is there a mother and baby room in this mall? Take them there," Han Chi said.
The young man replied: "It seems... there is no mother and baby room."
"No?" Han Chi frowned.
Another older, middle-aged man also stepped forward with a smile and explained, "There must be something wrong with our work. We didn't consider this when we originally designed it. Xiao Zhang, please inform the manager here and ask them to find a way to make room for a mother-and-baby room."
The young man named "Xiao Zhang" immediately nodded and responded repeatedly.
"Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. They need it right now." Han Chi frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this, Director Xiao, you find a room and let them feed the child first."
The person who greeted Han Chi warmly and came out of the registration office was the Director Xiao that Han Chi mentioned.
Director Xiao looked at Zhou Mo and the others with an embarrassed expression.
Zhou Mo thought, how could this not be embarrassing?
Previously, he asked his subordinates to drive the old lady away, but now his leader asked him to welcome her in and find a place to feed the child.
But no matter how difficult or embarrassing it is, there is no way I won't do what my leader says.
Director Xiao changed his previous stinginess and harshness and put on a smiling face, which made him look even more hateful.
"Come with me, everyone. I'll make arrangements right away. This child is so cute," he said, trying to get closer to them and reaching out to tease the child to appear amiable.
The old lady protected the child and turned away, not letting him touch her at all.
Zhou Mo also stretched out his hand to block it, reminding: "The child is too young and has low immunity. It's not good for strangers to touch him."
Director Xiao's "affable" smile froze on his face, neither smiling nor not smiling.
