Seeing Linglong still working, even though Zheng Tiansen had a lot to say to her, he could only hold it back and walked away to sit down again.
However, thinking of Linglong's previous resistance to him, he still resisted the urge to look for Linglong after dinner.
But he didn't go far and hid nearby.
"Finally, I'm done. I'll take Congcong with me. You two should go home quickly. Thank you for your hard work." Linglong looked grateful to Hao Chunlei and Jie.
Although Congcong was a child raised by the three of them, she always felt that Congcong was more her responsibility.
Hao Chunlei and Congcong were not pretentious. They said they would visit Congcong tomorrow and left in a leisurely manner.
"Congcong, let's go home." Linglong smiled gently at Congcong.
"Mom, let's go home." Congcong happily held her hand and wanted to walk by himself.
Er Linglong also discovered that Congcong could already walk, but he was not walking very steadily.
"It's cold outside, Congcong walks slowly, and mommy carries you and walks fast." Linglong explained, not embarrassed at all about calling herself a mother.
"Hold me, dear Congcong." The little guy immediately reached out for a hug.
Linglong bent down, picked him up, and walked home with a smile.
Not far away, Zheng Tiansen saw the harmonious scene of them getting along with each other and was a little dazed.
Linglong seemed to like the child.
She actually called herself "Mom".
Zheng Tiansen also knows someone in the city’s Public Security Bureau.
After hearing what Political Commissar Hao said, Er became concerned and called the Public Security Bureau to inquire about the situation as soon as he arrived.
Congcong, let's talk about this. The comrades in the Public Security Bureau are worried about it.
It's just that Congcong is too young to provide any useful clues. Moreover, modern communication is very inconvenient. The public security comrades checked and found no recent reports of missing children in various jurisdictions, so they couldn't find Congcong's family for the time being.
After understanding the situation, Zheng Tiansen knew that Congcong would stay with Linglong for an unknown amount of time.
Rather than going to talk to Linglong immediately, he thought it would be better to find out what Linglong was thinking first.
It seems that he needs to have a chat with Tong Dazhu.
Xiao Jiang is definitely not as good as Tong Dazhu in wanting to know Linglong's thoughts.
Just looking at the time, Tong Dazhu had already left home, so he could only wait until tomorrow to find this guy again.
Linglong carried Congcong home and put Congcong on a small stool. She could do whatever she wanted as long as she was within Congcong's sight.
When Tong Dazhu came home in the morning, he saw a crying Congcong and felt very upset.
After resting for half a day, when I returned to the camp, I saw the well-behaved Congcong who had changed a lot, and I felt really relieved.
He had never realized before how powerful a crying baby could be, and was glad that he didn't have a child.
Fortunately, he didn't say what was in his heart, otherwise he would have been scolded by his mother.
Linglong and Congcong had already eaten in the cafeteria, so at home, only Tong Dazhu and Aunt Tong were eating together.
While the mother and son were eating, Linglong taught Congcong things.
"Yes, this is it. Congcong is really smart."
"Let's learn the Three Character Classic again."
"At the beginning of life."
Congcong followed in a baby voice. "At the beginning of life."
Looking at the heartwarming scene of one teaching and the other learning, Aunt Tong wishes that these were her own daughter-in-law and grandson.
After Aunt Tong and the others finished their meal, Linglong brought Congcong into the house.
She was reading and studying, glancing at Congcong from time to time, while Congcong was sitting on the bed playing by himself.
When Linglong discovered that there were no toys for Congcong at home, she decided to go to the city to buy some when she had the chance.
Although she still doesn't know whether she can find Congcong's family, she has already prepared to adopt Congcong if she can't find them. It's just that it's too early now, so she hasn't told anyone about her idea.
Maybe it was because her son hadn't slept since he got up in the morning, and he was always afraid that Linglong, his "mother", had disappeared. When Linglong went to see Congcong after studying for a while, she saw that the little guy was already tired and fell asleep.
She quickly got up and helped the child take off his clothes and covered him with a quilt, then returned to the table to continue studying, but the sound of turning pages was much quieter.
When she was tired from studying and stretched, she looked at the books on the table and became lost in thought.
Brother Zheng hasn't told anyone about their relationship yet, so he can keep these books. He doesn't know how long it will take to return them.
Thinking about Zheng Tiansen talking to her the other day, she felt a little annoyed.
It was as if she was expecting him to announce their separation sooner, but at the same time, she seemed reluctant to do so. In short, it was very contradictory.
As soon as Aunt Tong entered the room, she saw Congcong sleeping and whispered, "When did you fall asleep?"
"It'll be a while."
"Linglong, Congcong is clinging to you for a day or two, but it's not a solution if it lasts too long. You can't always bring him to work."
"Auntie, I know Congcong is still young. I don't know how many bad things he has experienced. Now is the time when he feels the most insecure. He will get better slowly. You can see that he has made progress every day. He doesn't have to be held by me anymore. Chunlei and Yujie have also held him."
"Is that so? Well, by the way, have you ever thought about what to do if you can't find Congcong's family?"
It's not that she has to bring up the important things, it's just that Linglong is young and may not think far ahead. She regards herself as a close elder, so she has to think more about her.
Originally Linglong wanted to wait and see before making any decision, but now that Aunt Tong asked her, she just spoke her mind.
"Auntie, if you can't find Congcong's family, I will adopt Congcong."
"Ah." Aunt Tong exclaimed, and seeing that Congcong had stirred but not woken up, she lowered her voice and said, "You are still so young and unmarried. You adopted Congcong. Isn't this a huge burden to carry?"
Burden? Looking at the cute face of the sleeping Congcong, her expression became firm.
"I like Congcong very much and don't think he's a burden. Auntie, my relationship with Brother Zheng is definitely not going to work out. Besides, I, I might be mentally ill. I don't want to find someone to marry. I just want to live on my own. I won't be able to have children that way, so I'm thinking of adopting one in the future."
"Now that I've met Congcong, I feel like this is fate, so I want to adopt her."
Her words shocked Aunt Tong again and again.
"How old are you that you've come up with the idea of never getting married?"
"Yeah." Linglong nodded.
"Why bother, kid?" Aunt Tong sighed. "Even if you don't want to get married, raising a child isn't easy, especially if you're raising one alone." She was afraid Linglong didn't know the hardship of raising a child.
But Linglong had already made up her mind and was unwilling to give up even though she knew it would not be easy.
"It doesn't matter. No matter how hard or tiring it is, I will stick with it."
"Well, now it depends on whether we can find Congcong's family." Aunt Tong only hoped that Congcong's family could be found as soon as possible and dissuaded Linglong from thinking about it.
That night, Aunt Tong was so worried about Linglong that she couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Linglong, on the other hand, slept soundly in her arms around Congcong.
