Although she thought so in her heart, she still honestly told Song Yuangang where Feng Guizhi worked. After that, she asked indirectly:
"Captain, what do you want from my mother?"
Song Yuangang casually replied: "Nothing serious."
He didn't delay and headed towards Feng Guizhi's work, leaving Chen Xiuxiu to think about all sorts of things, unable to settle down.
Song Yuangang didn't delay along the way and soon found Feng Guizhi. After calling her aside, he suddenly didn't know how to speak.
"What's the matter, Captain?" Feng Guizhi guessed that this matter was probably related to Baoya.
"I asked around yesterday, and no one in our production brigade has lost a child. This morning, I asked a few people from the Yuejin Production Brigade next door, and they all said no one has lost a child either."
Their Hongqi Production Brigade and Yuejin Production Brigade were very close, just walking east across a large pond and crossing a bridge. So, after realizing Baoya wasn't from their own production brigade, he thought she might be from the Yuejin Production Brigade next door. After all, they weren't far away, so it wouldn't be surprising if she got lost and ended up here.
But he asked the man over there if anyone had lost a child, and the child was particularly fair and good-looking, but the other party said he had never heard of it and that there was no such child in their team.
After all, when Baoya was at Chen Fengxia's house, she wore dirty and torn clothes, and no one combed her hair or washed her face. Her face was always grimy, and everyone thought she was stupid, skinny, and dirty. So after hearing Song Yuangang's description, no one would think of Baoya.
Song Yuangang frowned after hearing this. If a family lost their child, it's impossible for them to go two days without finding the child. If they did, they would definitely search everywhere for the child, and everyone in the production team would know about it. Moreover, if the production team knew everything about the child and said there was no such person, then that meant the child wasn't from their production team either.
That was not their team and it was not their team. Song Yuangang was also very curious about where Baoya came from.
Feng Guizhi didn't react much after hearing this. It would be best if the girl's parents were found. After all, she was a mother herself and could understand the feelings of a lost child. But if they weren't found, it didn't matter. After all, the girl had food and drink every day she stayed at the Song family's house. They couldn't say they were treated well, but they certainly weren't treated harshly.
"I will continue to inquire about this matter. For the time being, the girl will be placed in your home.
Did that girl cry or make a fuss?"
Feng Guizhi shook her head: "He hasn't cried or made a fuss since he came here. He's been very well-behaved."
Song Yuangang also guessed that the girl didn't look like the type to make trouble.
After giving him work points, the little girl was doing well, so Song Yuangang was no longer anxious and would just look for someone slowly. He also believed that the Song family would definitely not treat the child badly.
He came over to tell her something and then went back to work at the brigade. Feng Guizhi also returned to the fields and continued working.
However, it is said that the people in the Yuejin Production Team did not know that Baoya had gone missing. Not only them, but even Chen Fengxia did not know. They thought that Baoya was living a good life with Zhang Hongli and eating commercial grain.
After she received the five dollars, she forgot about Baoya from the bottom of her mind and only remembered her occasionally when she was working.
Zhang Hongli also got up early the next morning and looked around, but still couldn't find anyone. She just thought Baoya was still in the brigade. After all, their production brigade was the only one within a few miles. She never thought that a little kid like her could walk such a long way at night to reach the Hongqi Production Brigade.
No matter how hard they looked, they couldn't find her. My brother and sister-in-law had to go to work, and Zhang Hongli also had to go back to the factory to work.
She came back this time because she had found someone to take her place temporarily, so she couldn't stay long. So even though she was extremely anxious, she had to go back to the city first, and then let Xu Laiying and the others continue looking.
The incident happened so quickly that they didn't have time to tell Chen Fengxia. After all, the child had been lost from their hands, and it was difficult to explain to anyone. As a result, only Zhang Hongli's family knew that Baoya had gone missing; no one else knew.
………
At this moment, Baoya was following Song Tianen, Song Bowen and others to the back mountain to pick wild fruits.
This mountain was particularly large, stretching for several miles. The Hongqi and Yuejin production brigades both leaned against it. It was precisely because of this mountain that the people in the two production brigades had a much better life.
When times were tough and there was no food to eat, the food in this mountain fed countless people.
There are wild vegetables, wild fruits, wild mushrooms, bird eggs, rabbits, and all kinds of edible things. Such a big mountain has everything.
But some people also say that there are many ferocious animals in the mountains, which have killed many people. Therefore, villagers generally do not go very deep into the mountains for fear of encountering wild animals.
However, the food underneath is enough for everyone to eat.
Now it is not like the past, every family has some food.
I don't rely on the things in the mountains to survive. I go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables when I have nothing to do, just to add flavor. Now it's mostly children who come here, and the adults are working in the fields to earn work points.
The Song family was large and food was scarce, so many of their children came. However, usually, the older ones, like Song Bowen, were in school, so only the younger ones, like Song Tianen, would come to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and fruits. These past few days, with the school on break from the busy farming season, the whole family finally got together.
Including Baoya, a total of eight children came to the back mountain. Song Tianen, Song Yuanbao and Song Yunduo were all very happy. It was very lively with so many people around, and they also felt bolder.
The three of them walked ahead, showing the way to the older brothers and showing off their achievements:
"Here, I saw some ripe wild fruits here last time. Let's pick some and bring them back for Grandma!"
"Brother, brother, there are a lot of wild vegetables over there. We can dig up a lot of wild vegetables!"
"I... I know where I can... I can pick up bird... bird eggs..."
The three of them started chattering so much that the older ones' ears hurt from the noise.
Song Boyu shouted, "Okay, stop arguing. Let's go to the place Yun Duo pointed out to pick wild vegetables. The place she said is the closest. Then we will go to the place Yuan Bao said to pick wild fruits. Finally, on our way back, we will go to the place Tian En said to pick bird eggs!"
He slammed the hammer and made the final decision, and no one made any more noise.
Song Bowen gave his younger brother a thumbs up.
Although Song Bowen is the oldest, he is calmer and more attentive to his younger brothers, rarely losing his temper. On the other hand, Song Boyu has a more explosive temper, but he is able to control them.
A group of people first headed towards the place Song Yunduo pointed. Baoya, held by Song Bowen's hand, also followed the others. She looked around curiously with her big black eyes, feeling particularly novel.
She had never been to the mountains before, and everything around her seemed strange and new to her. However, she didn't feel scared because she had several older brothers and sisters with her.
Not long after they walked, they saw a large field of wild vegetables. They worked together and quickly filled half a basket.
Everyone was very happy and changed direction to head west, preparing to pick some wild fruits.
"Are there any wild vegetable noodles tonight?"
While walking on the road, Song Yuanbao glanced at the wild vegetables in the basket on Song Bowen's back, swallowed and asked.
“…”
No one answered him. A few people thought of the hand-rolled noodles they had eaten last night and swallowed their saliva tacitly.
After a few seconds, Song Bowen comforted her, "Delicious food.
We can’t eat wild vegetables every day. We dug up so many wild vegetables today. We can ask grandma to make wild vegetable cakes for us. Didn’t you like to eat them before? "
Song Yuanbao compared the two in his mind and found that the hand-rolled noodles from last night were still more delicious.
Moreover, he wondered: Why can't I eat delicious food every day? If I could eat it every day, how happy I would be~
But in the end, he nodded his head. Well, if there's no hand-rolled noodles, wild vegetable pancakes will do.
A few people continued walking forward, and soon they arrived at the place to pick wild fruits. Everyone forgot about this matter. Song Boyu and Song Wenjie climbed up the tree in a few steps, making their younger brothers and sisters clap their hands excitedly.
"Brother, brother, that one over there is bigger, and that one over there..."
Normally they could only pick a few fruits from the bottom because they couldn't climb trees. Now, they could pick a lot of wild fruits to eat.
The people here were giving orders excitedly, while the people below were frantically following suit.
Only Baoya was standing aside. She was still thinking about the hand-rolled noodles she had eaten yesterday. Her saliva was almost watering. She had never eaten such delicious and fragrant noodles.
Then she wondered what wild vegetable cakes looked like and whether they were delicious too.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a strange sound coming from the side.
