Shu Ying saw the person out, then glanced at the time. It was time for the two children to get out of school. She hadn't seen Lü Jie return all day and couldn't get any information out of her. So she simply went to the school to pick up the children first.
Yueyue and Yangyang ran out of the school and hugged her legs at the same time.
"Mom, did you go to Stone's house today? Is he very sick? When can we go over and play with him?"
Yangyang assumed that Shitou was still sick and unable to come out, so she cautiously inquired about his condition through Shuying.
Shu Ying patted his head and said truthfully, "I went to his house today, but no one answered the door. A neighbor saw that his mother went out early this morning. When I went there, no one was home, so his mother doesn't know what's going on with him."
Yueyue felt a little disappointed; this was the first friend they had made since arriving here.
"Mom, when is Stone Brother's mom coming back? Can we go with you to his house to see him? I promise we won't cause any trouble."
The two little ones, as if they had conspired together, pestered Shu Ying relentlessly, and she was really overwhelmed, so she could only nod in agreement.
"Okay, let's go home now. Aunt Wang will come and tell us when Brother Stone's mother comes back, and then I'll take you all to see him, okay?"
Yueyue finally smiled a little more. "Thank you, Mom. You are the best mom in the world."
When she took the child back, Xie Zhiyan had only been home for a short time. Just by looking at the expression on Shu Ying's face, he could guess what was going on.
After instructing the two children to go inside and do their homework, Xie Zhiyan spoke, "Dongfang has already told me that Shitou has not been found yet. Lü Jie also left early this morning. I know you are worried, but the children of the People's Liberation Army comrades will never disappear without a reason. Don't worry, there will be news about Shitou sooner or later."
Shu Ying sighed and took Xie Zhiyan's arm with both hands. "Of course I understand, but that child is naturally introverted. I'm worried that if something really happens to him, it will be too late by the time we get the news."
"Comrade Shuying, I was worried that you went to pick up the child and weren't home. Well, it's all right now. Lü Jie just came back. You asked me to keep an eye out for you this morning. She just walked in the door and I came to tell you. But she only brought her mother-in-law with her and didn't see the child."
Shu Ying glanced in the direction of the Shi family's house. "Her mother-in-law?"
Xie Zhiyan nodded, "Xiao Xueyi's mother comes to stay for a period of time every year."
The autumn harvest season is over, and things aren't very busy in the countryside. Many people will have their parents come and stay for a short period of time so that their families can reunite.
Shu Ying grasped Wang's hand. "Sister-in-law, did you see clearly? There really wasn't a child following her?"
Sister Wang nodded solemnly, "We live right across the street, less than two meters apart. How could I not see a child as big as Shitou? It's just her and her mother-in-law, no one else would do."
The more Shu Ying thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Fortunately, Song Zhaodi came over from Li Qingqing's place in time. Seeing her come in from outside, Shu Ying felt a little relieved.
"Sister Song, please take care of Yangyang and Yueyue at home. I'll go with you to check on them."
