Chapter 131: Pursuing Love (Part 3) He took a leave of absence and traveled thousands of miles to pursue love...
After all, Tang Fengyuan is not a god. How can he find someone without any clues?
She could only agree to Ding's parents and file a missing person case for investigation. As for when the results would be out, she had no way of guaranteeing.
Ding's parents refused to give in. This was their last hope to rescue Huowa, and they had to find him as soon as possible.
Tang Fengyuan refused to agree to their request, and they started crying and wailing as if they were going to die.
Finally, I was able to get a second round of ten-day detention.
After being locked up, everything quieted down immediately. The old couple could only discuss that if all else failed, they would ask their eldest son for some money. For the sake of the money, maybe Gong Jiabao would help.
Tang Fengyuan and Yao Zhizhi went back to eat. Their mentality was not affected and their appetites were very good.
What should I do if things go wrong? There are so many unreasonable scoundrels and ruffians. I can't just get angry at them all and then get sick and have no one to help me.
After eating, I asked Yao Zhizhi if there were any clues from the fifth son of the Ding family.
Yao Zhizhi shook her head. She had never dealt with Xiao Ding's sister. Besides, this matter involved Ding Huowa's injury case against her. The system was as quiet as a chicken.
Tang Fengyuan couldn't help but sigh: "It would be fine if that child could find a place to settle down and live a good life, but if she were sold by someone ignorant on the road...ah."
"Mom, we've done our best for them. Don't think too much." Yao Zhizhi quickly comforted her.
A person's energy is limited, so just do what you can to have a clear conscience.
Tang Fengyuan understood, but he just felt sorry for the child.
Children without parents are so helpless and pitiful.
I couldn't help but think of my daughter-in-law and felt so distressed. Unfortunately, she was too busy at work and had no time to spare. She could only send some money and tickets every now and then.
Yao Zhizhi did not refuse. She took the money her mother-in-law gave it to her. She couldn't let her mother's family take care of the child and pay for it at the same time.
Collect what should be collected.
In November, the magazine for adults was finally ready. It is currently divided into several major sections, namely: current affairs, legal publicity, people's livelihood Q&A, family matters, and a knowing smile.
The first two columns are serious and boring, and the main selling point lies in the last three columns.
Regarding questions and answers on people's livelihood, Director Yuan needs to arrange for the cooperation of people in the propaganda department to screen some letters from the people every month, publish them, and report on subsequent measures.
Family matters are the most interesting. Yao Zhizhi has a ready-made system for eating melons. Every month there are always some chaotic things happening, which are published in the form of short stories.
Things like Zhao Maimiao's can be written into a separate article, writing about the resistance of a new-age woman and her pursuit of freedom.
The Ding family’s farce can be regarded as a long serial story.
It is just right to echo the current legal publicity, breaking down the serious legal provisions and integrating them into daily trivial life.
Finally, the column "A Smile" will collect some jokes, interesting stories, and anecdotes to add some highlights.
We didn't dare print too many copies for the first issue, so we only printed 5,000 copies. Director Yuan's publicity department and the publishing house each bore half of the cost.
Yao Zhizhi will not participate in the investment, her focus is still on the magazine for students.
She held a meeting near the end of her workday to finalize the title of the magazine.
There are several proposals at present - public life, the various aspects of life, the mundane world, and the various flavors of life.
In the final vote, the public life was chosen, which is simple and clear.
The handwritten sample was sent to Director Yuan, and his approval was needed to determine whether it was good or not. If it was acceptable, the magazine would be handed over to Xiao Jiang.
Two days later, Xiao Wang came over in person and handed the sample issue to Yao Zhizhi: "Director Yuan said that there are a few places that need to be revised, and he has already made the annotations."
Yao Zhizhi glanced at Xiao Wang. The melon was still the same, no progress.
Xiao Wang, who was kept in the dark, didn't know when he would be hit by an accident and his world would collapse. It was really pitiful to think about it.
But Yao Zhizhi really can't be too nosy. One Dinghuowa is annoying enough, and if the Wang family also hates her, she will be extremely annoyed.
Just ignore it.
After two editorial meetings and three drafts, it was finally approved.
The publication date was set for January 1, 1975, and there was still more than a month left, so we could make some further refinements and polishing.
Anyway, the purpose of this magazine is not to make a profit, but to carry Director Yuan’s special trust, so Yao Zhizhi is not worried about sales, as long as the publishing house does not lose money.
When I got home from get off work, I found a few red eggs on the table. I picked them up and asked, "Third brother, whose are theirs?"
"Yao Yingying gave birth to her second child, and Cao Guangyuan sent this to her." Yao Weihua didn't plan to keep it, but it would be bad to throw away someone else's child's red egg, so he kept it.
But Yao Zhizhi didn't plan to eat it, so she simply gave it to Aunt Mao. Her children would definitely be happy.
When she came back, she didn't ask her third brother whether it was a boy or a girl. She didn't care because it wasn't Yao Taotao who gave birth.
In the evening, Third Brother was about to go out with his little cat Jiaojiao. Yao Zhizhi looked at the little white cat squatting on his shoulder and suddenly became curious: "Third Brother, is Jiaojiao growing so fast?"
This is several times bigger.
Yao Weihua took a look and whispered, "This guy likes to eat ghosts. Dean Hai died in the park a while ago. His soul was trapped in the park and couldn't get out. It scared several children to tears. I took her there and he finished it off in one bite. He grew a lot bigger after eating it."
"Then it seems that you can't keep that female ghost in it." Yao Zhizhi didn't expect that this little snake was so powerful. I'm afraid that the female ghost will have to stay away from it.
Yao Weihua smiled and said, "Why should I worry about her? She's made a lot of friends in the women's prison and she's really enjoying herself. Okay, go study. I'm going to go out for a walk and sleep at my dad's tonight."
"Okay, then be careful." Yao Zhizhi did not try to persuade Xiao Xingxing to stay, and Xiao Xingxing would sleep at her grandfather's side tonight.
This child especially likes to stick to male elders. He has obviously lived with his grandmother for a longer time, but as soon as he sees his grandfather, he immediately doesn't want his grandmother anymore.
Yao Zhizhi was happy to have a child to accompany his father, otherwise life after retirement would be so boring, so he let the child sleep on either side according to his preference.
As for the yard in San Tiao Hutong, it was kept clean. She had not bought any furniture but had some flowers and plants there. Garlic and green onions were planted in the yard. She would go over to check on them every now and then and pick some when needed so that the yard would not be abandoned.
Late at night, in the dead of night, Cao Guangyuan sighed in a corner of the woolen mill.
It was another daughter. His mother was obviously unhappy and asked him to find a folk doctor to prescribe some secret recipe, saying that it would guarantee the birth of a son.
He hasn't figured out how to tell Yao Yingying yet.
As for Yao Yingying's own attitude... he wasn't sure, at least he couldn't tell whether she was happy or disappointed.
After thinking it over, he finally asked, "Mom said there's a folk remedy that can help you give birth to a son. I'll take you there to get one someday."
"You don't want me to eat placenta, do you? Let me tell you, it's useless. My mother ate it, but she still gave birth to a daughter." Yao Yingying looked at her man calmly.
How should I put it? Actually, Cao Guangyuan is of average appearance and not very tall. The only thing he has in mind is that he is a city dweller.
However, after living together for a few years, she found that this man was quite family-oriented, so she could make do with him.
But if Cao Guangyuan forced her to give birth to a son, then she would have to think twice.
She has no parents-in-law to help her at home, and her two children are already making her exhausted, so she doesn't want to have any more.
So he said directly: "Having a son or a daughter is destined, don't listen to your mother's nonsense."
"She is your elder after all, don't talk about her like that." Cao Guangyuan was a little unhappy. He loved his wife, but he also loved his mother.
Besides, if it weren’t for the bastard that Yao Taotao brought back, his mother wouldn’t have gone to jail.
He hoped Yao Yingying would speak more politely.
Yao Yingying rolled her eyes. "Elder? Don't you know how Guangyi and Xiaotao got into such a mess? I thought you were more clear-headed than Guangyi. I'm telling you, don't push me. At least wait until your mother comes out and someone takes care of the child. Don't even think about it before that."
Cao Guangyuan stopped talking, turned off the lights quietly and went to sleep.
It is not her decision whether to have a baby or not. As long as two people have sex, the seeds sown will have the potential to blossom and bear fruit. If he does not fight with her, she will naturally get pregnant and have a baby.
As for the placenta... he'll think of a way to get some when he has time.

Xu Kai has been extremely depressed for the past three months.
The fiancée he had married ran away and her whereabouts are unknown.
My father-in-law also disappeared and became a "maybe" suspect in everyone's mouth.
He was so angry that he was absent-minded when delivering goods in the past few months.
Look, I had a car accident and was injured, so I had to lie down for several days.
Fortunately, he only suffered minor injuries and his bones were fine. After being discharged from the hospital, he continued to inquire about the whereabouts of the family of five.
Finally, he found a clue from Zhang Tianping's colleague, saying that his future father-in-law went to Yicheng to recuperate.
Yicheng? Their hometown?
Xu Kai quickly contacted his relatives' relatives to help find out whether the family of five had returned to Yicheng recently.
A relative's relative called back, "I don't know how many members of the same family they are, but there's definitely someone named Li Man at the sugar factory. Three sisters came from the steel factory and just switched jobs with the sugar factory staff a few days ago. Their names match: Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaorui, and Zhang Xiaobei. As for Zhang Tianping, I've checked with the hospital, and they don't have any such patients."
Well, that doesn’t matter, as long as Zhang Xiaohua is here.
Xu Kai said thank you and hung up the phone.
He bribed the doctor and wrote down a fracture instead of a flesh wound, so that the doctor would recommend him to take leave and rest in bed for three months.
The next day, he asked his mother to ask for leave from his work, and that afternoon he boarded the train to pursue love across thousands of miles.
There's nothing he can do about it. Who told him to like Zhang Xiaohua? She's pretty, gentle, and has gone to a normal school, so he won't have to worry about no one taking care of the child during the winter and summer vacations.
It is really economical and affordable.
Compared with his fierce and aggressive sister-in-law, he felt more and more that Zhang Xiaohua was a rare good woman and the perfect choice for a good wife and mother.
I will do whatever it takes to trick him back, marry him and have children with him.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t get married, just have a child first.
It was raining when we arrived in Yicheng. It was a continuous autumn rain, and the moisture penetrated into our bones.
But the temperature is still acceptable. Compared to the Northeast where it is already snowing, it feels like spring.
He took off his military coat, carried his luggage, and got off the train happily, covered in sweat. He asked for directions along the way to find his sweetheart.
When I passed by a state-owned shopping mall, I thought I couldn't go in empty-handed, so I bought some gifts.
A tweed jacket, two boxes of osmanthus cakes, two hairbands, and a box of vanishing cream.
Finally, looking at the expensive Xie Fuchun powder, she picked it up and hesitated for a long time, then put it back.
There is no need for this. I am not from the art troupe. I don’t need to sing and dance or anything like that. I have to make myself smell good.
When it comes to life, it’s better to be economical.
He packed his things and happily headed to the sugar factory dormitory.
