Just at this moment, Jiang Mengxue stepped into the middle courtyard and encountered this scene at the door.
"Sister, you're back."
Jiang Mengran breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the few people being polite to each other and she really didn't know what to do.
"Uncle Li, Brother Li, it's already very late. Please have dinner at home before going back."
Luan Huiying's eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Mengxue coming back. She originally thought that twins should look exactly the same, but after seeing them in person, she found that the two sisters did not look alike at all.
Although Jiang Mengran is also a beauty at first glance, Jiang Mengxue is still more beautiful.
"Xiaoxue?" Luan Huiying was a little uncertain and asked tentatively. After all, there was a big difference between the real person and the photo.
Jiang Mengxue was a little shy, but still responded generously: "Mom, it's me. I'm sorry I came back so late today and didn't have time to pick you up."
Luan Huiying took a few steps forward and held Jiang Mengxue's hand. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
"Good boy, what's the big deal? I've heard what your uncle Li said. Of course, business is more important. I can find my way home by asking someone. Besides, you asked Da Qiangzi to pick me up.
How are those kids doing?"
Jiang Mengxue nodded: "We have already done the most basic treatment, and he should wake up tomorrow." Then she looked at Li Baoguo: "Uncle Li, Brother Li and his wife have already arrived at the hospital. I handed Xiaochuan to them and came back. There are militiamen guarding outside now, so you don't have to worry."
Although Li Baoguo was always concerned about his grandson, it was enough to have the child's parents looking after him. He had more important things to do. Thinking of the suffering his grandson and those children had endured, Li Baoguo's eyes became fierce.
Those human traffickers can't even think of leaving the armed brigade unscathed. Even if they are to be shot in the end, they will be skinned alive first.
"Uncle Li, Big Brother Li, you probably haven't eaten all afternoon, and neither have we. I made a lot of dumplings yesterday, let's cook them and eat them directly. Uncle Li will bring some for Big Brother Li and Sister-in-law later."
Without waiting for them to refuse, he asked Jiang Mengran to take out the dumplings and cook them.
The mutton soup in the pot was already heated up, and Jiang Mengxue also took out the previously braised mutton offal and cut a plate of it.
Although Luan Huiying couldn't be said to be an idiot in the kitchen, she had only cooked a few times. In the army, she either ate in the cafeteria or cooked when Gu Zhenhai was free.
She has no problem cooking simple meals and chopping vegetables, but it is difficult for her to cook.
I could only follow Jiang Mengxue around, trying to see if I could help in any way.
Li Baoguo and the other man had no choice but to go back into the house and start discussing the follow-up of the incident.
The dumplings were ready and cooked quickly. Each person was first served a bowl of mutton soup and mutton offal, sprinkled with chopped green onions and coriander, and the aroma hit the nose.
I prepared a bowl of spicy dipping sauce. I don’t know if others like it, but Jiang Mengxue likes to dip dumplings in it.
"Uncle Li, Brother Li, eat quickly. There's still a lot of food warming up in the pot. Eat more."
"Stop busying yourself, it's time to eat. Don't bother going to such lengths so late at night. Sit down and eat. You've been busy since this afternoon and haven't eaten a single bite."
Jiang Mengxue looked around and found that there was indeed nothing else that needed to be prepared, so she sat down and started eating. She had been hungry all afternoon, and at her worst she was so hungry that she wanted to vomit.
Luan Huiying's eyes lit up when she took a bite of the dumplings. The meat was fresh, fragrant and juicy. She didn't expect that her daughter-in-law had such good cooking skills.
She will have to practice cooking diligently after she returns, so that she can feed her daughter-in-law and make her plump and plump. She doesn't believe that she, a first-class medical skill, will fail in cooking. She didn't need to show her skills before, so she didn't pay much attention to it. It's not too late to practice now.
"Xiaoxue will go to the police station tomorrow to make a statement. The police will notify the family who lost the child tomorrow to keep a record and strive to have the child returned to his family as soon as possible."
"What about those human traffickers? What will be the final verdict?"
It's not like the past when people would only be sentenced to a few years or even a dozen years. In serious cases, people would be shot directly. Even in the 1980s, people were still shot for hooliganism. Maybe they just accidentally touched someone on the street, but as long as they were convicted of hooliganism, the final result would be severe.
What's more, child trafficking is such a serious matter. If he were executed in public, everyone might still throw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at him.
Luan Huiying was also filled with righteous indignation. There were so many older soldiers in the army who had no partners and no children.
Even the children of soldiers who died in battle lost their shelter and could only rely on their comrades for help every month.
They are all very sensible and have better self-care abilities than some adults.
She simply couldn't imagine that a soldier was sacrificing his life in the army while his children at home might be abducted by human traffickers.
My brain was instantly filled with blood. This kind of thing must not happen. Isn't it disheartening? Children from ordinary families are also children!
"Old Li, you can't let these people go. They should all be shot. If such a large-scale trafficking case occurs in the city and the results are not satisfactory, there might be more trouble. Some people even protested directly at the Public Security Bureau."
Nowadays, people have a strong sense of responsibility and the courage to stand up for justice. If this trafficking case is not handled properly, I believe someone would dare to go to the police station with a knife and kill the trafficker that day.
Li Baoguo also knew the seriousness of the matter. Today he ordered the train station to be closed and searched everyone so blatantly. Many people saw him forcing the human traffickers onto the train that night. The news might have spread throughout the city.
Someone will go to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow to inquire about the situation and wait for the results.
Child trafficking has been despicable since ancient times. Even if such criminals are not shot but imprisoned, they are despised by all the prisoners in the prison.
Children are the cornerstone of a country. No matter how unscrupulous you are, you cannot harm children. This is a social rule. Anyone who dares to break it will have to accept everyone's anger.
"This matter has been under scrutiny by the higher-ups for a long time. Don't worry, the outcome will satisfy everyone. Otherwise, even we public officials wouldn't agree."
After dinner, before the two of them left, Jiang Mengxue packed another box of dumplings and wrapped it with a towel.
"Uncle Li, take him to the hospital. I guess Brother Li and Sister-in-law haven't eaten yet. It's cold at night, and they can't go without a meal."
Li Baoguo took it without hesitation. They had already finished the meal, so there was no need to be pretentious now. Besides, given his friendship with Gu Zhenhai, neither family would care about this.
They walked the two of them to the door and watched the car leave before going home.
"Mom, you should stay in my room tonight. It's not warm outside."
Luan Huiying looked around in the living room. The kang in the outer room was quite warm because of cooking soup at night, so there was no problem for anyone to live there.
She knew that young people like personal space, and it would be awkward for people of two ages to live together, so she refused directly.
