This time, when they went to Beijing to pick up the results, Song Erge helped drive them there. Her brother-in-law had something to do today and couldn't go with them.
On the way, Liu Zi was thinking about getting a driver's license. She felt bad about troubling others with so many family members.
Although she is not very wealthy now and cannot afford a luxury car, she can still afford a Xiali car with a budget of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
Everyone in the car was a little nervous about what was about to happen, including Liu Zi. Although she had been very confident before, she was still afraid of the possibility of something going wrong before she got the results.
Aunt Zhang was so nervous that her hands and feet turned cold, and she could only hold Lingzi tightly in her arms to ease the tension.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, Mr. and Mrs. Liu were also there.
"Dad, Mom, what brings you here? Don't you have to go to work?" Liu Zi was a little surprised, as she had agreed to come and get the results herself.
"Such a big thing, of course we'll be there for you!" Liu's mother patted her daughter's hand and then touched the faces of her two granddaughters.
Liu's mother didn't look well; it was obvious she hadn't been getting enough rest lately.
Liu Zi felt a pang of sadness; her parents had aged considerably recently because of her situation.
"Let's go in!" Liu Daqiang said in a deep voice.
Everyone nodded and walked inside together.
When Liu Zi met the security guard who greeted them, she felt half relieved.
The visitor had a smile on his face and looked relaxed. When he saw the two adorable children, he subconsciously patted Lingzi's head.
"How did things go with Officer Xu?" Liu Zi asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, it's a good result! The report is here, take your time to read it."
Liu Zi slumped into a chair, her legs feeling weak, and finally felt relieved.
Liu's mother, who was standing next to Lingzi, had already started crying while holding her. Zhang's aunt kept thanking God that they were in a large meeting room alone and wouldn't disturb the others.
"We have contacted the police in Shexian and Jinshi these days, and the relevant personnel will be escorted to Beijing for trial. Rest assured, we will definitely not let the criminals get away with it," said Officer Xu indignantly.
"Thank you so much, thank you so much."
Liu Zi said, her voice choked with emotion.
"It's because you, as a mother, were decisive and acted immediately after hearing the news. Otherwise, in the depths of the mountains, losing another child would be all too common."
They've handled far too many cases like this. There are countless examples of biological parents searching for their children, while adoptive parents abandon their children to escape punishment.
Xu's words terrified Liu Zi. Her face turned even paler. She believed that given the Zhao family's ruthlessness, they were certainly capable of doing such a thing.
"Alright, alright, I won't scare you anymore. Everything is for the best now. The most important thing is that the family can be reunited. Leave the rest to us!" Officer Xu realized that he had frightened Liu Zi and quickly comforted her.
"Please rest assured, Officer Xu, I will never forgive the Zhao family. Please deal with them severely," Liu Zi said through gritted teeth.
"Definitely!" Officer Xu nodded firmly.
"There's one more thing. I want to transfer Lingzi's household registration to my name. What do you think we should do about it?" Liu Zi said impatiently.
"I'll issue you a certificate here. Take the certificate to the household registration office and complete the process. Remember to give your child a nice name!" Officer Xu reminded him with a smile at the end.
After their internal investigation, they found that the child had not registered his household at all, which is a common occurrence in mountainous areas.
Due to various reasons such as hygiene and diet, some children die before they grow up. It is too troublesome to register and then cancel a household registration, so most families only register their children's household registration when they are about to start school.
"Okay, I'm all ready." Liu Zi nodded happily.
"And this is some wedding candy I prepared. Thank you for your hard work, Officer Xu. I hope you can share in the joy and help more children find their way home." Liu Zi took out the prepared wedding candy from her bag and handed it over.
"This..." Officer Xu hesitated.
"The wedding candy isn't expensive; it's just a way for us ordinary people to express our gratitude. No problem," Liu Daqiang said from behind Liu Zi.
"Yes, yes, it's just a little wedding candy, it's not worth much, please accept it," Liu's mother chimed in from the side.
"Alright then, I'll accept it on everyone's behalf. I hope your family will be happy and prosperous in the future, and that your two children will grow up healthy." Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Officer Xu had no choice but to accept the candy with a smile.
"Thanks!"
Liu Zi sincerely thanked them, saying that everything in the past felt like a dream. She said she would raise her two daughters well in the future, not asking them to be successful, but only hoping that they could grow up healthy and happy.
The family went to the household registration office happily, and with Lingzi's consent, Liu Zi named her Liu Lin.
Lin refers to a beautiful jade of bluish-green color.
As for the nickname "Lingzi," we'll keep calling her that, since everyone's used to it.
Lingzi was very happy. When she was in town, she saw some children secretly taking out their family's household registration pages to show off.
They said that only children who are registered in the household are considered family members, and that they will have a place to be buried after they die.
Several children were so frightened that they went home crying. During that time, several children of Lingzi's age got household registration one after another, but Lingzi was too afraid to go home and tell her parents.
She was afraid that she would be beaten again before she could finish speaking.
From then on, the friends gradually realized that Lingzi was different from them and began to distance themselves from her.
Now she finally has her own household registration page, so she'll definitely have a place to be buried when she dies.
After hearing Lingzi's explanation, Liu Zi silently shed two tears, then told Lingzi, "Lingzi, you still have decades to live! Death is a long, long way off, let's not think about it now, okay?"
After hesitating, Lingzi said, "But Ergou died of illness because he didn't have a household registration certificate, and his father just dug a hole and buried him."
Liu Zi felt that this might be a source of anxiety for the child, so she answered seriously.
"Lingzi, Er Gou died of illness because his parents wouldn't take him to the doctor, it has nothing to do with his household registration."
"They did examine him. His parents invited Dr. Zhu from town, who gave Er Gou a lot of medicine, but he still couldn't be saved." Lingzi remembered this incident very clearly.
Aunt Zhang was somewhat exasperated. Why did Lingzi, this little girl, ask so many questions?
"Lingzi, Mom promises you, I'll prepare it for you, okay?" Liu Zi really couldn't bring herself to say whether her daughter lived or died, but she respected her child's wishes.
"Really? Then Reiko will finally have a place to be buried! That's great!"
