"The neighbors next door, when you came back just now, they were peeking around, did you notice?"
"I didn't notice. By the way, did that old lady go back to her hometown?" Zhao Qinglan asked, referring to Battalion Commander Qu's mother.
"She went back home, saying there were still some things to take care of back in her hometown, and she couldn't be without her during the Spring Festival."
Hearing that Grandma Qu had passed away, Zhao Qinglan felt a sense of relief.
Otherwise, she didn't like Battalion Commander Qu, and the old lady was always trying to get on her good side, which made her feel awkward.
"Where is that Battalion Commander Qu's new wife?"
"you do not say."
Normally, when celebrating a happy occasion, a banquet should be held.
Battalion Commander Kequ and this man really just got a marriage certificate; they didn't hold any other ceremonies.
Zhao Qinglan had little contact with Zheng Xiufen, having only met her a few times. She only hoped that Zheng Xiufen's personality wouldn't be too difficult to get along with.
She didn't expect to get along well with the other party, after all, with Battalion Commander Qu and Wei Hong involved, it was impossible for her to have a good relationship with Zheng Xiufen.
She just hoped that no more oddballs like "Qian Hongxia" would appear next door.
As they talked, they arrived at Wei Hong's dormitory.
The military primary school has also been given a holiday for the New Year, and Wei Hong is reading a book right now.
He was very happy to see them arrive.
"I was just saying you should come back, and here you are, speak of the devil and he appears."
“Here, take a good look at your things,” Zhao Qinglan joked.
"Then I'll have to take a good look. If it's not good, you'll have to buy me another one." Wei Hong laughed as well.
Looking around, Wu Mei asked, "How are you going to spend New Year's Eve? Why don't you come to my house?"
"You can come to my house too," Zhao Qinglan said.
"No need for that. We have two other teachers who live in the dormitory and don't go home. The three of us can spend the New Year together."
Her perfectly good home was gone just like that, and she had nowhere to go even for the New Year, yet Wei Hong didn't show much sadness on her face.
Seeing this, Wu Mei and Zhao Qinglan were relieved.
If a person can think things through, no hardship is a big deal.
After sitting there for a while, Zhao Qinglan and Wu Mei went home together.
The house is all tidied up, and the stove is lit.
The room was warm and cozy. Zhao Qinglan and the others sat around the stove and started listening to their newly bought radio.
Two sweet potatoes were placed in the stove, and their aroma slowly wafted out.
This scene is incredibly heartwarming.
However, someone suddenly knocked on their door.
As soon as Li Huai went out, he saw that the regimental commander Sun Shengli looked anxious.
Where is Qinglan?
"Inside the house."
"What's wrong, Commander?" Zhao Qinglan lifted the curtain and came out.
"The district public security bureau called our unit and said that there was a kid there named Wang Xiaofei who kept saying that Qinglan was his mother. He came to find his mother and even gave them Qinglan's address, which is in our unit. That's why the police called."
Upon hearing this, Li Huai immediately looked at his wife.
Zhao Qinglan's face visibly turned ugly.
"Did he come here alone?"
"It should be. They didn't say much on the phone. The police officer said that if the situation was true, we should go pick them up immediately."
To be honest, Zhao Qinglan didn't want to care about Wang Xiaofei at all.
Besides, what right does she have to interfere?
But if Wang Xiaofei really came alone and she ignores him, and something really happens to him, then there will be a lot of trouble.
Why are these Wang family members so persistent? She was extremely annoyed.
"Commander, let me make a phone call first."
"good."
Zhao Qinglan and the others went next door and called Li Aiguo's workplace directly.
Someone answered the phone, but Li Aiguo had already gone home after get off work.
Fortunately, the other party was willing to make the trip for me.
When Li Aiguo and Sui Wenjing arrived, Zhao Qinglan quickly told them about Wang Xiaofei running over there and asked them to inform the Wang family so they could take their child back home as soon as possible.
After making the call, Zhao Qinglan and the others got into the car and drove through the night.
To be honest, Zhao Qinglan hadn't figured out what to do for the time being, so she planned to go to the police station first to find out the situation before making any further plans.
You know, it's almost Chinese New Year, what kind of mess is this?
With three children, she could only trouble Sister Wu Mei to look after them for the time being.
When they finally arrived at the police station, Wang Xiaofei pounced on them as soon as he saw them.
Zhao Qinglan instinctively flinched.
Even though he couldn't reach her, Wang Xiaofei still wiped his eyes and started crying.
"Mom, Xiaoyan is missing, Xiaoyan is missing."
“I’m not your mother.” Zhao Qinglan frowned.
Upon hearing this, the police officer standing nearby, unaware of the situation, frowned and looked at Zhao Qinglan.
Upon seeing this, Li Huai, who had come along, went up to the police officer and began to explain.
He didn't want people to misunderstand his wife. His wife was such a good person; it was the Wang family who had wronged her.
Wang Xiaofei seemed not to hear him and continued crying, "Mom, why don't you look for Xiaoyan?"
Wang Xiaoyan is missing? Zhao Qinglan asked with a puzzled expression, "How did she get missing?"
"Xiaoyan and I got off the train. She needed to use the restroom, so I waited for her there. But she never came, and that's when I realized she was gone."
A perfectly healthy person, not a baby who can't even speak yet, just disappeared like that. Nine times out of ten, they were abducted by human traffickers.
Wang Xiaoyan was actually abducted by human traffickers. Thinking about what her daughter had gone through in her previous life, Zhao Qinglan's feelings became complicated.
Is this considered karma and retribution?
Help her find Wang Xiaoyan? How could that be possible? Because those things hadn't happened yet, she couldn't bring herself to directly retaliate against Wang Xiaofei and Wang Xiaoyan, the siblings.
