These words were spoken by Zhai's father to Zhai's mother, and also to his daughter Zhai Qiu.
Zhai Qiu's crying gradually stopped. She lifted her head from her mother's arms and looked at her father: "I'll listen to you, Dad. Tomorrow, Mom and I will go to the department store to buy a gift first, and then we'll go to Sister Song Lan's house next Sunday."
After calming down, Zhai Qiu felt very guilty, thinking that she shouldn't have made her parents worry about her every day.
It was her fault. She received her high school diploma in July but refused to go to work as her parents had arranged. She made a promise with her best friend, Tian Tian, to have fun for a few months before going to work at the company her parents had found for her.
Who would have thought that from graduation until they encountered the kidnapper, they had a wonderful time without any problems, but then that one day at the park, they were targeted by the kidnapper… The fault lay with them; they were too trusting, they disobeyed their parents, and they were simply too foolish to distinguish between good and bad people.
This resulted in them falling into the hands of kidnappers, and it has nothing to do with their parents!
Song Lan was unaware that Zhai Qiu was thinking about her, her sister whom she had only recently recognized. Well, actually, it wasn't just Zhai Qiu who was thinking about Song Lan; besides the recurring nightmares last night, there were also the other three children, Zhao Tiantian and Li Jinhao.
Last night, I was also awakened by nightmares one after another, especially the three children. Every time they woke up, they cried loudly. By dawn, their throats were all inflamed from crying. Even so, they still called her "Pretty Sister".
Fortunately, each little one is deeply loved by the elders in the family. They didn't find his crying and fussing annoying; on the contrary, they felt sorry for him and shed many tears.
In short, the evil deeds committed by that kidnapping family had a profound impact on Zhai Qiu, Zhao Tiantian, and the three children. To put it bluntly, the kidnapping family left a real psychological scar on Zhai Qiu, Zhao Tiantian, and the three children.
Without a period of reassurance and guidance, it will be difficult for them to recover.

On the way to the forest farm, Song Qingbin glanced at Song Lan, his eyes showing concern, and asked, "Do you want to rest by the roadside for a while?"
"Need not."
Song Lan shook her head.
After having breakfast early this morning, Song Lan rode her bicycle back to her home in Shisong Village. Since Song Qinghui was away in the army, Li Jumei and her husband assigned Song Qingbin to accompany Song Lan to the forest farm.
Song Qingbin readily agreed without the slightest hesitation.
At this moment, the brother and sister were walking on the main road to the forest farm. Well, for Song Qingbin's safety, Song Lan did not choose to take the shortcut this time, that is, to walk through the forest in the mountains towards the forest farm.
To be honest, taking the main road was something she and Song Qinghui had discussed beforehand, just to avoid encountering the big guys on the mountain by taking shortcuts.
"Are you sure you don't need to rest for a while?"
Fearing that Song Lan might get tired, Song Qingbin couldn't help but ask again. Hearing this, Song Lan shook her head and said, "Brother, I'm in great shape. Look, I've walked for so long, and I'm not even out of breath!"
"We've walked almost halfway since we left home, and you haven't stopped even once. What if we get struck by lightning?"
Song Qingbin was genuinely worried about Song Lan, because in his eyes, Song Lan was delicate and frail, and he knew she wouldn't be able to handle it for long.
He seemed to have forgotten that Song Lan was no ordinary girl. After all, she had martial arts skills and cultivated internal energy. Walking a mountain path was nothing to her.
"There's no 'what if'."
Song Lan smiled and said, "Big brother, I practice martial arts, so I'm in great physical condition!"
Upon hearing this, Song Qingbin was taken aback at first, then coughed lightly and said somewhat awkwardly, "I forgot about that, but you are a girl after all. If you really can't stand it, just say so. Don't try to tough it out!"
Anyway, they weren't in a hurry. Whether they arrived early or late, their purpose was the same—to visit Comrade Fu.
"Okay, I promise I won't force myself."
Song Lan responded with a smile.
Several hundred meters behind the brother and sister, Fu Jinheng, carrying a travel bag, was panting as he climbed a hill.
Before he left the forest farm last time, he made an agreement with Fu Wenhan to come to the forest farm every half month to chat with his second uncle and bring him some things.
Fu Wenhan objected, saying that everything was fine at the forest farm and that he didn't need Fu Jinheng to send him anything or accompany him, but his words obviously had no effect on Fu Jinheng.
Otherwise, Fu Jinheng wouldn't have appeared on the way to the forest farm again today.
-
Forest farm.
"Dr. Fu?"
Taking the main road to the forest farm would undoubtedly take longer. Song Lan and Song Qingbin continued on their way, and when they arrived at the entrance of the forest farm, they ran into Fu Wenhan, who was getting off work. To Song Lan's surprise, less than four or five minutes after she and Song Qingbin sat down in Fu Wenhan's dormitory, a tall and slender figure appeared at the door of Fu Wenhan's dormitory.
Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Song Lan was a little surprised, but then she seemed to remember something and asked, "Dr. Fu, are you and Uncle Fu related?"
Both of them have the surname Fu, could it be... could it be that Dr. Fu is Uncle Fu's son?
Is that really the case?
A big question mark hung in Song Lan's mind.
"Lanlan, Uncle Fu forgot to tell you, that silly boy is Uncle Fu's nephew. He came to visit me at the forest farm two weeks ago and said he was transferred to work at the machinery factory's staff hospital."
That reminded me that you and he were colleagues at the same hospital, and I think you even mentioned it to that brat. Did he not tell you at the hospital?
Fu Wenhan spoke gently to Song Lan, who shook her head upon hearing this: "Dr. Fu didn't tell me."
"You brat, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you tell Lanlan about your relationship with me?!"
Staring at Fu Jinheng, Fu Wenhan said, "What are you still standing there for? Quickly apologize to Lanlan!"
"No need, no need."
