Chapter 442 Her parents' matter can't be rushed; it's like finding a needle in a haystack—it always takes time to work around the issue.
After hanging up the phone, Shu Wenyuan finally smiled a little. He carefully put the phone back in its place and clasped his hands together nervously.
“The children are alright. As long as they are in the capital, these things won’t affect them, and we will have a chance to reunite. I… I need to find Wan’er as soon as possible.”
His efforts over this period of time have finally paid off. Although he still has no news of Yang Wan, knowing where Shu Ying is has relieved him of a great worry.
He looked up at the sky outside; it was gray and overcast, but the sun was hiding behind the clouds. It seemed that as soon as a gust of wind blew, the sun would soon peek out from behind.
He specifically chose the top newspaper in the capital, whose content was broadcast regularly in the village. As long as the poem was broadcast, Yang Wan would have a chance to hear it.
Someone as intelligent as her would surely have guessed it was him.
It was already quite late after dinner. Shu Ying had been eating and sleeping well lately, and she was already exhausted after cleaning up the dishes. Xie Mingzhu advised her to go inside and rest first. Xie Zhiyan grabbed his coat from the entrance and was about to go out.
Xie Mingzhu looked at her suspiciously, "It's already so late, do you still have to go to work?"
Xie Zhiyan changed his shoes, looked up and replied, "No, I still don't have any clue about my father-in-law and mother-in-law's matter. It's not a good idea to keep this on Yingying's mind. I'll go see if Qi Zecheng has any solutions."
There are many people in the unit, most of whom come from all over the country. Finding them is the best shortcut, but most of them don't go back often. If we're talking about people who can be of use, Qi Zecheng is probably the only one.
Xie Mingzhu wiped the water off her hands. She couldn't help much, so she didn't ask any more questions. "Then hurry back and make sure you explain things clearly to them. Yingying can't always be so sullen. If there are any difficult problems, we'll solve them together as a family."
Xie Zhiyan gave a soft "hmm" and stepped out into the night.
At that moment, Qi Zecheng had just finished his shift and was walking back when he bumped into Xie Zhiyan, who was leaving the house.
"I was just saying I was going to find you. I need your help with something. Let's talk as we walk."
Xie Zhiyan was always serious, and Qi Zecheng thought he was about to be assigned another mission, but then he heard Xie Zhiyan change the subject and inquire about his mother.
"How has Auntie been lately? Is work going well?"
Qi Zecheng was completely confused, but still answered truthfully, "The same as always. You know, she's the commune's women's director in the census team. She doesn't usually have anything important to do. She just goes to her office every day, comes back to read the newspaper, and drinks tea. It's not like anything goes smoothly or not."
As he spoke, he patted his head with one hand, "But she's been quite busy these past few days. Her workplace is currently conducting population statistics and surveys in the nearby mountain villages. They say everyone needs to be registered, and a new census may be needed to ensure that all newborns have household registration and identity."
According to family planning statistics from three years ago, there were still about 100,000 children without household registration. Registering these children is an urgent matter, and relevant departments should naturally put population statistics and investigations on the agenda.
"Why did you suddenly think of asking about my mom today?"
Xie Zhiyan stopped in his tracks, his gaze unusually firm. "There are some things I need her help with. When Aunt Qin is conducting the census, I need to ask her to keep an eye out for someone named Lan Yin. If she does, I need to ask Aunt Qin to contact me immediately."
If it wasn't an important mission, then it must be a private matter. Xie Zhiyan rarely looked so serious about his private affairs, so he didn't reveal too much information, and Qi Zecheng didn't ask any further questions.
This usually involves Shu Ying, and since his family could lend a hand, he readily agreed.
"Don't worry, I'll go back and tell my mom that I promise to treat this as my own business and I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
The newsboy immediately smiled, sweetly said "Thank you, sister," and stuffed the newspaper into their hands before waving goodbye.
