Chapter 16
"I don't remember how big the city was. I worked in the supply and marketing cooperative, the state-owned restaurant, and the meat processing factory for a while... Or maybe all the good-looking people look the same?" Zhu Qin said with a smile.
Youyou tilted her head and memorized all these places in her heart.
"The toilet is over there, you go in, I'll leave first." Zhu Qin rubbed Youyou's hair.
"Sister - can you wait for me? Youyou is afraid of bad people." Youyou quickly and gently grabbed the corner of her clothes and assured her carefully, "It will be very soon, very soon!"
The child's soft tone melted Zhu Qin's heart. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you here."
After getting Zhu Qin's promise, Youyou felt relieved, spread her short legs and ran to the toilet quickly.
She had to move faster and not make the kind sister wait too long.
…
At this time, there was only one salesperson left guarding the counter in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Shanshan stared at the small wooden sword for a long time, she was almost fascinated and liked it very much.
But these days, if a village child can have enough food to eat, it is considered that the family is well-off. How many children can have toys?
Shanshan was not the kind of wishful thinking. She just wanted to look at the little wooden sword for a while longer and remember its appearance in her heart.
"Comrade salesperson, do you have polished japonica rice and white flour here?" Meng Jinyu's voice attracted Jiang Shan's attention.
The salesperson said, "Yes, we have them. They are in the warehouse." She looked at Meng Jinyu's hands and said, "You have bought so many things. You can't take them back."
"I can carry it." Meng Jinyu said, "I have my husband here, right? I'll let him carry it with me later. Comrade, go to the warehouse and get it for me."
"Okay." The salesperson said, "Wait a minute."
The salesperson turned and went to the warehouse.
At this time, Jiang Shan had already walked over and asked in a daze, "Where's Youyou, Youyou?"
Meng Jinyu looked back with a nervous look on her face, and pulled him out of the supply and marketing cooperative: "Youyou just ran out and hasn't come back for a long time. I don't know if she's lost. If she's lost, she won't be able to come home anymore."
Jiang Shan was not used to talking too much. After hearing what Meng Jinyu said, his face immediately turned red with anxiety: "Youyou, find Youyou..."
"She's right there. If you find her, Mom will buy you a small wooden sword." Meng Jinyu pulled Shanshan's arm and pointed to a place not far away. "Go find her quickly, or Youyou will really be lost. Run along that street, run fast and run far..."
Shanshan was terrified when she heard this, and her eyes opened wide in an instant, full of fear.
The next moment, before Meng Jinyu could give her a push, Shanshan had already run out quickly.
No little wooden sword, he doesn't want the little wooden sword.
Shanshan only wants her sister.
…
Youyou didn't waste any time and came out of the bathroom quickly.
Before the little girl could take a step outside, her head had already popped out. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Zhu Qin was still there.
As long as you don't act alone, you won't give bad guys any opportunity to take advantage.
This time, Youyou cannot be thrown away again, and will not repeat the fate of the original plot!
Thinking of this, Youyou felt happy and her steps became lighter.
But suddenly, Zhu Qin listened to the noise outside and said worriedly, "Why is it raining? It seems to be raining heavily. Oops, I didn't bring an umbrella."
"It looks like it will take quite some time for the rain to stop."
The voice was soft and floated gently, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Youyou's heart.
Youyou jogged a few steps and saw the heavy rain outside.
There were no pedestrians on the road. Everyone had already hidden under the eaves. The sound of the rain seemed to be washing away the traces of sin.
Youyou was so frightened that she shrank back.
This rain is just like the rain in my dream.
"My son is missing!" came the stepmother's scream.
A bolt of thunder struck.
Meng Jinyu rushed over, grabbed Youyou's shoulders tightly with both hands, her eyes were red as if they were bleeding, and she shook as if she was risking her life.
"It's you. You ran around. I left Shanshan alone at the counter in order to find you."
"Where have you been? Where did you run off to?"
"Your brother is missing, it's all your fault!"
Meng Jinyu screamed, her eyes were bloodshot and she stared at Youyou fiercely, as if she wanted to eat her.
Youyou stepped back in panic. This was the first time she realized how terrible her stepmother was.
Little Tuanzi shook her head vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes. She pushed Meng Jinyu away and trotted out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
It’s raining so hard and the streets are so deserted. Where is Shanshan?
"Your daughter went to the toilet just now. Didn't she tell you? Comrade, don't worry. If the child is lost, you have to go to the police station and find the police. The police will definitely help you find her." The salesperson who came out of the warehouse said hurriedly.
Meng Jinyu's body was shaking.
She wiped her tears, supported herself with one hand, stood up shakily, and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative step by step.
Zhu Qin looked at her back with sympathy and couldn't help but sigh.
No one wants something like this to happen, and it was really pitiful for the mother and daughter to watch.
…
Shanshan stood there at a loss on the deserted street.
The raindrops fell with a crackling sound, hitting my body hard, it was so painful and cold.
He looked at this strange place in confusion.
We have to find Youyou quickly.
Shanshan mustered up her courage and ran as hard as she could, but it seemed like this street had no end at all...
The rain gradually subsided. Shanshan was tired and hungry. She accidentally tripped and fell forward.
It hurts so much.
The little kid's eyes turned red with grievance. He got up and gently rubbed his wet and dirty hands.
"Look, there's a kid over there."
A middle-aged couple, well-dressed and respectable, walked towards them from a distance holding an umbrella. When they saw Jiang Shan clearly, they quickened their pace.
"Little boy, have you lost your family?" The woman held the umbrella over his head and said softly, "Uncle and auntie will take you to the police station to find the police comrades."
…
After leaving the police station, Youyou got on the bus.
"Your brother is missing, do you think I will spare you?"
"Not only me, but also your grandma, your dad, and everyone else will say that you are a jinx!"
The journey back to the village was long. Meng Jinyu was tired, so she closed her eyes and took a rest.
She thought that when they returned to the village, everyone would blame Jiang Youyou.
The child will also begin to blame himself.
When she found a suitable opportunity, she found a family in the neighboring village and sent the child away.
From now on, no one will get in the way anymore.
Youyou looked straight out the window.
When she came, she was with her younger brother, and the two of them were talking and laughing. She also pointed to the sesame seed cake shop on the street and said that she would ask her mother to take them there to buy sesame seed cakes in the future.
Now she has to go back, but she is alone.
The original plot in the dream has changed. Youyou only knew not to let herself be abandoned, but did not think about protecting her younger brother.
The driver braked suddenly and muttered irritably, "The workers at the meat processing plant are always like this. They don't even look at the road when they leave the plant after get off work. I almost hit them. They look so arrogant with their noses in the air!"
This chatter attracted Youyou's attention.
She subconsciously looked in the direction of the driver. Heavy rain fell on the car window, and the pedestrians outside the window were not clear.
But suddenly, Youyou frowned.
She saw a familiar figure, it was her uncle.
Why is my uncle in the meat processing factory?
"My third sister married and moved to the city. She said the meat processing factory is one of the best companies in the city."
“Although they are both state-owned units, the meat processing plant’s employee benefits are better!”
"Not just anyone can come in and work here. You either need connections or be a high school graduate. If you want to work here after graduating from high school, you have to take an exam!"
The sound of passengers talking could be heard.
Youyou withdrew her gaze.
Her mother is missing, and now her brother is missing too. Where should she go to find them?
And there is the little notebook I found in my stepmother’s room last night.
There were densely written words on the small notebook. Youyou studied it secretly for a whole night, but just couldn't understand it.
I originally wanted to wait for my brother and sister to come back to help with the reading, but they went out for a ride on their bicycles and Youyou was so sleepy that she accidentally fell asleep.
When she gets home tonight, Youyou will ask her brothers and sisters for help in learning to read.
After all, the notebook was hidden so carefully by the stepmother, her conspiracy must be written on it.
Thinking of this, the little girl wiped away her tears with her clenched fists.
Her brother and mother will definitely return home safely, she can't give up.
