Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Losing the Child

The organizers also specially made certificates and trophies. When the awards were presented, the children lined up on the stage. Xia Junshan squatted in front and said loudly:

"Everyone look at me and smile."

This little girl Xia Qinqin has taken a lot of photos since she was a child. She has a good sense of the camera. When facing the camera, she subconsciously reveals a brilliant smile.

On her left was the smiling Fangfang, who had the same hair and the same red makeup as her. On her right was the wooden-faced Lu Yannan, who pursed his lips reluctantly.

Principal Tian stood in the middle holding the trophy, the children gathered around her, and three teachers stood on the outside. Everyone faced the camera and took this group photo.

After taking the photos, Xia Junshan took a few more photos of Xia Qinqin and her good friends, and asked Meng Yufei to take a few photos with her daughter who was wearing makeup.

Even after finishing all the film rolls, Xia Junshan still felt unsatisfied. He should have bought two more rolls. Taking photos was so much fun.

Director Tian came over and said, "Captain Xia, please print a few more copies of that group photo. I want to give each of us one as a souvenir. Of course, I will ask the army for money to print the photos."

The accompanying parent also said, "Yes, yes, Captain Xia, please leave a photo for my child."

"I want some too. I can pay for developing the photos myself."

"Leave one for me too."

…

Xia Junshan smiled and said, "Okay, no problem, I guarantee everyone will get one."

After the award ceremony, one of the judges came over to greet Principal Tian, ​​"Principal Tian, ​​the overall quality of your kindergarten students is very high. Your program today is very innovative, and you can tell at a glance that you put a lot of effort into it. It seems that even though you are a kindergarten principal, your teaching skills have not fallen behind at all."

This judge is a leader from the Municipal Education Bureau and is an old acquaintance of Principal He Tian.

Director Tian said with a smile: "Director Zheng, you are flattered. This program is under the full responsibility of our teachers. I am just an assistant."

Director Zheng said, "Well, the most important thing for a leader is to know people and assign them to the right positions. By the way, who is this teacher under you?"

Director Tian pulled Zhou Wenqian over and said hello, "This teacher Zhou Wenqian is the main person in charge of this program. She taught the children the songs and choreographed the dances."

Zhou Wen Qian smiled slightly and greeted Director Zheng.

Director Zheng smiled and said, "Sister Tian, ​​your teacher is an all-round talent. She can teach singing and choreograph dances. Teacher Zhou, have you ever considered transferring to the city? Young people like you who are capable and talented should be able to display their talents on a larger platform."

Director Tian laughed and said, "Director Zheng, you are trying to undermine me right in front of me."

Director Zheng laughed and said, "I feel at ease with the people you lead, Sister Tian. I fully trust your judgment of people."

Director Tian said, "Then you have to tell me where you are being transferred to first. If it is not a good unit, I will not agree to it, let alone Teacher Zhou's opinion."

Director Zheng said, "How are the music teachers at the municipal government primary schools? You know that the benefits are not bad in the city. Teacher Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Wenqian smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I am here to accompany the army. I have not yet considered leaving the island. I would rather work on Nanya Island."

Director Zheng nodded and said, "I understand. It's not easy for you to be military dependents. Let me tell you this. Go back and think about it. If you change your mind, feel free to contact me."

After Director Zheng left, Principal Tian asked, "Teacher Zhou, are you really not going to reconsider? The conditions in the city are much better than on our island. And for you personally, the work platform of the city's government elementary school will be better than the kindergarten on the island."

Zhou Wenqian shook her head and said, "My musical level is only good enough to teach children to sing two songs. A primary school music teacher is not suitable for me."

"Besides, I like my current life very much. I am very happy dancing with the children. The island is very quiet and no one disturbs me. I can do what I like."

Director Tian nodded and said, "Okay, I respect your decision. What you like is the most important thing. Of course, if you don't leave, I can be much more relaxed here."

It was already past eleven o'clock when the competition ended. The big theater here provided lunch, but it was only provided to the students and teachers who participated in the competition. The parents had to pay food coupons and money separately.

Nowadays, when people go out, they must bring food coupons and money. They also have to bring their own lunch boxes, chopsticks and spoons.

After finishing our meal at the cafeteria of the Grand Theatre, we took the kids back home and took the bus to the pier as usual. Because we were in the city center, there were no seats left when we boarded the bus.

All the children were standing in the middle of the carriage. Perhaps because of the children's clothes, several passengers gave up their seats to let the adults sit over and hold the children.

Xia Junshan held Lu Yannan in his arms, and Meng Yufei held the child as they walked to the back, standing in a more empty area near the back door.

Lu Yannan was unwilling to be held at first and wanted to get down and stand by himself, but was rejected by Xia Junshan.

"You are so small, I might step on you again if I'm not careful."

The car door closed and started to drive slowly. Xia Qinqin pulled Meng Yufei and whispered in her ear: "Mom, look, it's that bad aunt."

Meng Yufei looked in the direction her daughter pointed, and saw a woman holding a child sitting by the window not far in front of her. It was Tong Caifeng.

The child in her arms should be the youngest in her family, but why did she bring the child here?

Tong Caifeng stared out the window in a daze, with a distracted expression on her face, and it seemed that she didn't notice that they were also in the car.

The reason why Tong Caifeng came here with her child today was because of that person's request. That person had calculated for her and found that the reason she had no son was probably because the daughter she gave birth to earlier had taken her son's place.

Today she brought the third child to the man and saw that child. It was true! This child was born to bring bad luck to her. As long as she was around, she would never be able to give birth to a son.

Tong Caifeng thought about her previous life and realized that she didn’t have a son!

The man just asked her to keep the child, and she tried to find a way to help herself deal with it. But she still had some doubts, so after thinking about it, she decided not to keep the child.

Now, sitting in the car holding the child, she kept thinking about what that man said: As long as this child is in your home, he will always take up your son's place, and you will never be able to give birth to a son.

Thinking of her son, her hope for the rest of her life, and thinking of the tragic experiences in her previous life, her eyes turned fierce. She thought that she would not be able to catch the wolf without sacrificing her son!

This daughter was not what she wanted in the first place. She already had so many daughters. It was a good deal to exchange one less daughter for a son.

She looked down at her sleeping daughter in her arms and thought secretly: Don't blame me. I didn't mean to throw you away. Who asked you to block my son's way?

In the noisy carriage, Xia Qinqin heard her thoughts clearly. She quickly hugged Meng Yufei tightly and whispered anxiously, "Mom, that bad auntie wants to abandon the baby in her arms. She is so bad."

Meng Yufei's eyes dimmed, and she asked softly, "Really? She wants to throw the child away?"

"Yes, she said that in her heart." Xia Qinqin roughly repeated what she had just heard in Meng Yufei's ear, "That bad aunt said that fortune-telling showed that she would not have a son, and the child blocked her son's path, so she wanted to throw the child away."

Meng Yufei looked at Tong Caifeng. Did she really believe this? Was she going to throw away her own child? But thinking about her attitude towards her daughters, it seemed like something she would do.

Along the way, Meng Yufei kept a close eye on Tong Caifeng, fearing that she would abandon the child if she was not paying attention.

Xia Junshan noticed that Meng Yufei's eyes were fixed on that direction. He looked over and found that it was Tong Caifeng. He asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking there?"

Meng Yufei looked at the crowded crowd around her, shook her head, and said, "No, it's just strange that it seems that this sister-in-law Tong has been coming to the city frequently recently."

Xia Junshan smiled and said, "Maybe he wants to buy something."

Since Tong Caifeng received compensation from Han's family last time, she has been going to the market every few days to buy nutritional supplements for herself. Every time she brings back large bags of food.

Tong Caifeng's face is now rounder, which shows that her family's food conditions are really good, and all the nutrition expenses are really spent on nutritional supplements.

Meng Yufei also withdrew her gaze, but her peripheral vision was still observing there. Now there was no evidence, and no one would believe that Tong Caifeng wanted to abandon the child.

There were too many people in the car and it was not convenient to tell Xia Junshan for the time being. After all, this was something Qinqin heard using her special abilities and could not be leaked outside.

Fortunately, Tong Caifeng did not take any action on the bus, and they drove all the way to the terminal, where all the passengers started to get off.

Xia Junshan was holding Lu Yannan and preparing to get off the bus. He glanced at Meng Yufei who was standing there motionless and reminded her, "What's wrong? We've arrived at our stop."

Meng Yufei pulled Xia Junshan's sleeve and said, "Let's wait a while until the people ahead get off the bus. It's too crowded now."

"Okay." Xia Junshan nodded.

Tong Caifeng and the others had almost gotten off the bus, so she also stood up from her seat. She glanced around and saw that people around her were in a hurry to get off the bus, so she pretended to be in a hurry, put her child on the seat next to her, and hurriedly ran out of the bus with her bag.

Sure enough, she really abandoned the child!

Xia Junshan had just been following Meng Yufei's line of sight to look at Tong Caifeng. Seeing her leave the child there and run out of the car, he turned around and asked in surprise, "She lost the child?"

Meng Yufei nodded and glanced at Xia Qinqin in her arms.

The couple looked at each other, and Xia Junshan understood what Meng Yufei meant.

Xia Qinqin pointed at the child who was thrown on the seat and said, "Mom and Dad, the baby is crying."

Xia Junshan put Lu Yannan down, walked over, picked up the child, and patted her shoulders gently. The child was easy to coax and stopped crying.

Lu Yannan got off the car. Director Tian was counting the number of people. When he saw Lu Yannan getting off, he asked, "Why did you get off so late? Is Qinqin still in the car?"

Lu Yannan pointed at the figure walking towards the dock and shouted, "That person threw the child away."

Director Tian looked over in surprise; the figure looked familiar.

"Oh, isn't this Tong Caifeng? Her child is missing?" Mrs. Zhang, who came over with them, recognized Tong Caifeng.

Xia Junshan also got out of the car holding the child. When Mrs. Zhang saw this, she said, "The girl in Captain Xia's arms is indeed Zhaodi from Tong Caifeng's family. This man is so careless that he even forgot about his child."

"No, I'll go call her right now. This person is really fast. She will be on the boat in a moment." Mrs. Zhang said as she was about to run over.

Director Tian held Mrs. Zhang's hand and said, "Let's talk about it after we get on the boat. We're all on the same boat anyway."

After saying that, Director Tian walked over and took the child from Xia Junshan's arms, saying, "Give the child back to her after we get on the boat. Such a careless parent should be taught a lesson. Wait until she finds out that the child is missing and see what she will do. Let her worry for a while, otherwise she won't learn her lesson."

Director Tian really thought that Tong Caifeng had lost her child accidentally. After all, the child was not sick or had any accidents, and her family could afford to raise the child. Who would have thought that she would lose her own child?

After getting on the boat, the children rushed into the cabin. When Tong Caifeng saw these small figures in army green, she realized that they were all children from the family compound.

She had been thinking about that man's words while in the car, and when she got off the car, she was completely focused on how to leave the children behind without attracting any attention, and she didn't pay any attention to the children at all.

Following closely behind were the kindergarten teachers and parents. They were all acquaintances. Tong Caifeng felt a little guilty and turned her eyes away, looking at the sea outside the window.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that when the people behind her got on the boat, they were always looking at her, as if something was wrong.

When Director Tian came in with the child in his arms, Mrs. Zhang pointed at Tong Caifeng who was sitting by the window and said, "She's over there, but she looks like she hasn't noticed her child is missing yet!"

"I'll go remind her." Then, Mrs. Zhang walked over, cleared her throat and said, "Tong Caifeng, you come to the market too."

Tong Caifeng glanced at Mrs. Zhang, nodded, and quickly looked away.

Mrs. Zhang asked her, "Are you here alone today?"

This sentence was to remind her that she brought a child with her.

Unexpectedly, Tong Caifeng nodded and whispered, "Yeah."

? !

Mrs. Zhang's next words were stuck in her throat. She looked at Director Tian behind her in shock. What does Tong Caifeng mean?

Director Tian held the child in his arms and looked at Tong Caifeng who was sitting there with a frown.
