The little girl had already squeezed to the train door when a kind young man behind her helped her off the train, saying, "Little girl, don't just stand there, hurry up and catch up with your mom!"
Clearly, the young man had misunderstood; he thought the woman who got off the bus before the little girl was her mother, and thus offered his help.
"……Mother!"
The little girl moved her lips, called out, and followed the woman. When she saw the woman board another train, she called out "Mom" again without thinking.
The train attendant standing at the carriage door, like the young man in front of her, mistook the little girl for the child of the woman who had just boarded the train, and reached out to pick her up.
Even if a five- or six-year-old girl is very clever, she is still a child. She found a place on the train to curl up, her heart filled with panic and fear, but she didn't know what to do next.
Because the train was so crowded, no one paid any attention to a child.
After a hazy nap, the little girl woke up to find everyone on the train pushing towards the door. She stood up and followed the flow of people off the train.
People were coming and going on the platform, and a light drizzle began to fall from the sky at some point.
The little girl walked out of the train station, her whole body soaked by the rain.
"Mommy...Mommy, where are you? Mommy...Waaah..."
She wants to find her mother and asks her mother to take her home!
The little girl cried and whispered for her mother.
Time passed, and suddenly, the little girl collapsed on the rain-soaked ground.
"Child! Child, wake up! Child, where are your parents? Child..."
With her eyes closed, the little girl could only hear urgent voices in her ears, and she seemed to be pulled into a fragrant embrace.
"What do you think we should do next?"
In a ward at Shanghai People's Hospital, a woman sat by the bedside, looking at the little girl lying on the bed. She frowned slightly and asked the man standing by the bedside a question.
"Let's talk about it when the child wakes up."
The man responded.
"Then tell me... how did this child end up alone at the train station?" Before the man could speak, the woman continued, "Could she have been abandoned there by her family?"
"Impossible! This child is beautiful and well-behaved, and she's dressed nicely too. How heartless must her parents be to abandon such a good child?"
Men's denial of women's arguments.
I don't think so.
The woman said, "Some families, even though they've already entered the new society, still favor sons over daughters. Maybe that's the case in the little girl's family."
"Fine, even if what you say is true, what do you want?"
The man asked.
“Here’s what I’m thinking: if this child was really abandoned by her family, then let’s adopt her. What do you think? Anyway, we only have two sons, and you and I have always wanted a daughter. Now that we have one, maybe it’s fate that we’re going to have a daughter.”
The woman laughed and said.
"Alright, it's too early to say anything now."
The man glanced at the little girl who was still unconscious on the bed and said with some concern, "This child had a high fever when we brought her to the hospital. We don't know if she has any brain damage from the fever after she wakes up."
"Pah, pah, pah, don't jinx it. I believe the little baby will be fine."
The woman glared at the man.
Just then, the little girl on the hospital bed slowly opened her eyes. Upon seeing this, the man quickly smiled and said, "Little girl, you're awake!"
"..."
The little girl stared at the man for a while before asking, "Uncle, who are you?"
"Uncle's surname is Zheng. Yesterday afternoon, he went to the train station to pick up my wife, the lady next to me..." The man gently recounted how he and his wife had encountered a little girl who had fainted at the train station the previous day and taken her to the hospital. At the end, he asked:
"Little friend, what's your name? And do you know where you live, or where your parents work? That way, your uncle and aunt can take you home. Oh, and if you have a phone at home, you can tell your uncle what your phone number is."
After the man finished speaking, he saw that the little girl's eyes were full of confusion, and then he saw the little girl shake her head.
"I have no idea."
The little girl said, "Uncle, my mind is blank. I don't know my name, I don't know where my mom and dad are..." Tears gradually filled her eyes, and then the little girl pouted and burst into tears.
"this……"
The woman looked anxious: "Could the child's brain really be damaged by the fever?"
"I'll go find a doctor to come and take a look."
The man spoke and strode out of the ward.
Ten minutes later, the doctor finished examining the little girl and told the couple in the ward that the little girl did not have a brain problem from the fever, but had amnesia. Upon hearing the doctor's diagnosis, the woman who wanted to adopt the little girl and her husband looked at each other and saw a decision in each other's eyes—to adopt the little girl!
"Wenwen! Wenwen, wake up! Wenwen..."
Zheng Qiuwen opened her eyes. She had been shaken awake by Chen Dongze. She looked at Chen Dongze and heard him ask, "Why are you crying?"
"I...I cried?"
Touching the corner of her eye, Zheng Qiuwen felt a dampness on her fingertips. She slowly came to her senses and murmured to herself, "I remember now..."
"What did you say?"
Chen Dongze sat up, draped his coat over his shoulders, and looked at Zheng Qiuwen with a puzzled expression.
"I want to be alone. You go to sleep!"
Zheng Qiuwen's gaze fell on Chen Dongze with unusual complexity. As she spoke, she got up from the bed, grabbed her coat, and left the room.
Chen Dongze reached out his hand, wanting to call out to Zheng Qiuwen, but he didn't make a sound for a long time.
He simply didn't miss the way Zheng Qiuwen looked at him, but he couldn't understand why his wife looked at him like that!
At this moment, Zheng Qiuwen arrived at the bedroom where Chen Dongze had lived before he went to the countryside.
She sat on the bed with her knees drawn up to her chest, tears streaming down her face without her realizing it, because one part of that forgotten memory had hit her hard.
I remember it was when she was a little over five years old, not quite six. Her aunt sent a package back to the compound containing two dresses, some candy, and a letter.
In the letter, the aunt said that the white dress with blue flowers was hers, the other purple dress with white flowers belonged to Chen Shu, and the candy was to be shared with her brothers.
Unexpectedly, Chen Shu secretly took her dress without her family's knowledge. She was very upset and wanted to ask her mother to help her get the dress back. However, when she got to her mother's bedroom door, she heard a sound coming from inside the door, which was not fully closed.
"Mom, I don't think this is fair to Yueyue!"
This is a picture of Chen Dongze as a child.
Zhang Hua: "What's unfair about it? You have to remember, Xiao Shu is your sister. As for Yue Yue, she's just lucky to have food to eat in this family. She has no right to compete with Xiao Shu for things!"
"Mom's right, Chen Yue is a little bitch, why does she deserve to wear such a nice dress?!"
