The matter on Jiang Qiao's side has come to an end, and the ending is very satisfactory.
"My God, I never imagined we'd unintentionally done something so big. If they succeed, we're in big trouble. Girl, what exactly did you want the police to do for you?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and turned to look at Erping. Erping, who was beaming with joy, explained to them, "Jiang Qiao mentioned two things. The first is to help find my grandparents and parents, and the other is to register your homeless friends. I didn't expect Jiang Qiao to think of this. If this is done, it will be a big deal. From now on, you will be people who have food rations."
The younger children didn't understand what the food supply was all about, but the older children all looked at Jiang Qiao with gratitude in their eyes.
"Sister Qiao, really? We can get our own food from now on?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded. "They said they would resolve this matter as soon as possible. After all, children in situations like yours will be a big problem in the future. It's better to resolve it before problems arise. We'll have to face it sooner or later, so it's better to resolve it sooner."
However, I don't know how they will arrange things for you; that's beyond my control.
Erping didn't care about how to solve the household registration problem. "As long as they can have household registration, it's fine if they want to stay with us. We can continue to keep each other company."
Jiang Qiao looked at the group of children. She had previously suggested to the police that they could register the children under the veterans' household registration. As for their future lives, that would depend on whether Erping would listen to her arrangements.
After the two went inside, they talked for a long time. When Erping came out, his expression was very serious, but if you looked closely, you could see a hint of excitement in the little guy's eyes.
Next, Jiang Qiao began preparing to return home, but she couldn't leave yet because the children's household registration issues hadn't been resolved.
The next day, the police arrived and gathered the veterans and the children. Even Erping's sister made a rare appearance. The police officers came mainly to ask for their opinions, and they really did follow Jiang Qiao's method.
The veterans welcomed the idea of their children settling in the city, believing that having these children around would at least make their later years more interesting.
The children were even happier, as they no longer had to be separated from Erping and the others, and they had their own household registration. In the future, when they earned money, they could buy their own food.
This outcome is a happy one for everyone.
"As for these children, we can't let you support them all. We've contacted the welfare home, and they'll give you a small living allowance each month. The veterans can send someone to collect it. Once the children grow up, you can go to the director. We've already discussed this matter."
As for Erping's grandparents and parents, we've found out their whereabouts for you. Here's their address; you can visit them when you have time.
When the Du family children heard that their relatives had been found, the three children took the address and hugged each other, bursting into tears. No one knew how they had endured all that time, living in constant anxiety. Now, all was well, their parents and grandparents were still alive.
"Thank you, thank you all—"
Du Xue, along with her younger siblings, bowed deeply to the police officers.
"No way! To be honest, you younger siblings have been a huge help to us. Without these smart kids, we wouldn't have been able to capture these enemy agents. We should be the ones thanking you."
Qin Junlin nodded. "That's right. Everyone helps each other. Du Xue, Erping told me that you're babysitting for someone else. How about this: you come over and help take care of these kids, and do some washing and cleaning for us. We'll pay you for your work."
In Jiang Qiao's opinion, Du Xue was the most suitable girl to stay here and help. She was worried that if the master she encountered had bad intentions, wouldn't that ruin her life?
He walked over and pulled Du Xue aside. "Sister Xue, I think Uncle Qin's suggestion is good. You should think about it carefully. They really need someone to help them with the washing and cleaning. Besides, these younger brothers and sisters also need your guidance."
Du Xue hesitated for a moment, then agreed immediately. The group discussed it further and decided that the children would go back to their rooms at night and come over during the day, which would be convenient for everyone.
Jiang Qiao told everyone that she would be leaving in a couple of days. Upon hearing this news, everyone's initially happy mood immediately plummeted.
During their time with Jiang Qiao, both the children and the veterans genuinely liked this girl from the bottom of their hearts. It wasn't just that she provided them with food and clothing, but more importantly, she gave them hope to live on.
For those children, Jiang Qiao's appearance gave them the strength to survive and the warmth of a home. This older sister's arrival solved all their problems.
So when Jiang Qiao said she was going back, the children surrounded her, saying, "Sister, can you not leave? We don't want you to go."
Faced with these younger brothers and sisters, Jiang Qiao found herself inexplicably softening for the first time.
She touched and hugged each of them one by one. "Don't worry, even if I go back, I will still miss you. My home is not here. I still have my grandfather, my brother and my younger brother at home, and I have to take care of them. So, I have to leave."
However, your older sister will write to you often from now on, so you should study hard and try to write to her yourselves, okay? Then your uncles and grandfathers will take you to school to learn more skills so that you can help your older sister when you grow up, okay?
Although the little ones didn't quite understand what Jiang Qiao meant, they understood that she was helping her older sister.
They replied in unison, "Okay, we'll definitely help you if you need us, sister. Remember to come visit us in the future, sister."
Looking at those innocent faces, Jiang Qiao seemed to see her nephew's smiling face again.
Her eyes were misty, but she smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll definitely come to see you whenever I have the chance. Wait here, I'll go get you some delicious food."
Erping couldn't quite describe his feelings. He was filled with reluctance. Jiang Qiao's appearance was sudden, yet warm. Little by little, he accepted this relatively unfamiliar younger sister. He didn't even know Jiang Qiao's background, and in fact, he didn't want to know. As long as this person was right, nothing else mattered.
When Jiang Qiao was sharing the food with everyone, she glanced at the address of Erping's parents and grandparents.
He immediately smiled and said, "You guys don't need to worry. I know this place. It's in our county. I'll take care of your parents from now on. You just need to take good care of these uncles, grandfathers, and your younger siblings. We can keep in touch anytime. I'll leave you an address so we can write to each other."
