Chapter 63 Arrival
"It's okay. The people have been arrested and the child has been sent to the hospital."
"That's good."
The sky outside the car window had turned completely gray and black without him noticing. Yan Bei glanced at it and smiled, "This is not an excuse. Let's go and have dinner in the dining car."
"Okay, I'm a little hungry."
After saying something to Wu Tao, the two of them left the lounge one after the other.
Because Fu Jiaming and Xiaoqiu were there, they were unable to have dinner together as Yanbei and his friend had wished, and they all returned to the carriage with their lunch boxes.
Hearing the sound of the sliding door, Fu Jiaming immediately stuck his head out and almost cried for joy when he saw someone, "That's great, Suning, you're finally back! If you don't come back, I really won't be able to handle Xiao Qiuqiu crying!"
"Sister Ningning!"
Xiaoqiu was also looking forward to it with great joy in her eyes.
Xiao Qiu hadn't seen her for nearly two or three hours. The unfamiliar environment made her feel insecure. Even with Uncle Fu chatting and laughing with her, she couldn't be happy.
"Good boy, are you hungry, Xiaoqiu?"
"I ate some snacks that Sister Ningning prepared. I'm not hungry anymore. What were you doing, Sister Ningning?"
Sitting down next to her, Su Ning raised his hand and touched the back of her head, "I went to help someone with a small favor."
The little boy nodded like an adult and asked, "You've been helping for so long, what is this small favor?"
Thinking of this, Xiaoqiu quickly took out the biscuits and fried dough twists from her small bag and said, "Sister Ningning must be exhausted. Eat quickly~"
"Your brother Yanbei and I have prepared some food. Let's skip the snacks and eat first."
"Okay~"
Fu Jiaming scratched his head in annoyance. Why did the little guy become so well-behaved in front of Suning?
He is obviously very friendly and likable.
"What are you thinking about? Take it quickly!"
"Oh, okay."
Taking the lunch box handed over by his good brother, Fu Jiaming winked at him and said in a low voice, "You have been alone for several hours. What have you done?"
Facing Su Ning's suspicious eyes, Yan Bei turned his face slightly. If he could do it, he would definitely give him a full "massage" without hesitation.
The kind that rubs against the ground in all directions!
Just now, he was indeed worried and did not go back to the carriage to wait. As for where he went...
"Ah, eat, eat, it's getting dark, I'm starving!"
Fu Jiaming, who was very perceptive, noticed something was wrong and immediately changed the subject, opening the lunch box lid casually. "Oh, I like stewed tofu! And some meat sauce made by Suning, hiss~ It's delicious!"
“Hehehe~”
Xiao Qiu was amused by his exaggerated and intoxicated expression, and hurriedly handed him the bottle of meat sauce in her bag, "Uncle Fu, here you go!"
"Hey, you're so good. When we get off the bus, Uncle Fu... ahem, Brother Fu will buy you some candy."
"Thank you, Uncle Fu!"
"It's my brother, dear Xiaoqiu, brother, brother."
…
The three-day train ride didn't seem to be that difficult with these two lively kids, one big and one small, around.
When I arrived at the Shanghai train station, I started to experience the benefits of having acquaintances.
Fu Jiaming and Yan Bei led them out of the platform quickly and took a car to the best hotel in Shanghai.
According to Fu Jiaming's introduction, this restaurant not only has an excellent location with a close view of the river, but the food in the hotel is also very delicious and very popular among foreign guests.
After sending the two to the room and agreeing on a rough time for their return trip, Yan Bei also considerately left his address and phone number and told her to contact him if she had any questions before he and Fu Jiaming set off for home.
After closing the door, Suning took Xiaoqiu to take a shower and change into clean clothes, feeling relaxed.
"Sister Ningning."
"Um?"
Xiao Qiu, who had changed into a pink dress, pinched the little butterfly on the waist of her dress and asked nervously, "Will Grandpa and Grandma like me?"
"Xiao Qiu is sensible and well-behaved, how could I not like her?"
Holding her in his arms and patting her skinny back gently, Suning told her patiently.
"If grandpa and grandma don't show their love for you, it must be because they are busy missing your mom, so don't be sad, Xiaoqiu. Once they slowly accept the fact that mom has turned into a star, they will love you even more."
"Will it?"
"Of course they will. They love your mother so much, how could they not like her favorite Xiao Qiu?"
The shy little guy smiled shyly after hearing what she said, and really let go of the nervousness and fear in his heart.
His chin rested lightly on the top of her head, but Su Ning didn't let her see the worry in his eyes.
After not knowing whether their daughter was alive or dead for seven years, the Zhang family suddenly learned the sad news that their daughter had passed away. It was certain that they could not accept it for a while. After learning about Xiaoqiu's life experience, it was natural for them to feel implicated and resentful.
However, she believes that the Zhang family, especially the old couple, are not bad people, as they have raised a daughter like Zhang Qin who is smart, tough, and courageous, and who retains a kind heart even in the quagmire.
"Sister Ningning, when are we going to go look for grandpa and grandma?"
Xiaoqiu turned her head and looked up at her, there was no worry or fear in her eyes, only anticipation.
I looked at my watch. It was 10:20 AM.
Lowering his head and pinching her little face, Su Ning glanced at the box wrapped in black cloth on the table.
This time when she came to Shanghai, in addition to sending Xiaoqiu and Zhang Qin home, she also took care of the factory's purchasing tasks, visited her grandfather's friends Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Xin, and had to go back to her home in Shanghai if she had the chance.
I think it would be very busy just with purchasing in just a few days.
"Are you tired, Xiaoqiu?"
“Not tired!”
After rolling his eyes twice, Xiao Qiu sat up straight in surprise, "Are we going now?"
"If Xiaoqiu isn't tired, Sister Ningning will take you there now."
Zhang Qin has been looking forward to this for so many years, and she must be eager to go home and see her family.
"I'm not tired at all, let's go, Sister Ningning!"
"Okay, let's go, don't worry, put on your shoes first."
Bending down to hand her the sandals, Suning stood up and took out a comb, a headband and two cute hairpins from her bag.
I made her hair into two symmetrical buns and pinned a hairpin on each side. "Okay, it's so beautiful!"
"Hehehe~ Sister Ningning is the most beautiful!"
The two of them stood face to face with each other, then they held the urn and walked out of the hotel hand in hand.
…
Zhang Qin's handwritten address was very detailed, and Suning found it without much trouble.
However, the door of Zhang’s house was closed, and no one came to open it after knocking for a long time.
An old man sitting in the alley enjoying the cool air saw this and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Grandma, is this Zhang Qin's home?"
"Who are you talking about?"
The old lady who was fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan opened her eyes wide, wondering if her hearing was getting worse, as she couldn't hear clearly even at such a close distance.
"Zhang Qin, the Qin in Qinqishuhua, is this Zhang Qin's home?"
"Yes, yes, this is the place. It really is Zhang's daughter!"
The old lady looked around, and apart from the two of them, she didn't see the familiar face anymore. She couldn't help wondering, "Where's Nannan? Didn't she come back by herself?"
It's so pitiful. Ever since she disappeared, the Zhang family has been having a hard time.
In order to find her, the old couple placed ads in newspapers and asked around through their connections. Whenever they heard the slightest bit of news, they would go to her without hesitation.
He was only fifty years old but his hair had turned white and his body had become weak.
If they hadn't been holding their breath and were determined to see the body, the couple would probably not have been able to hold out!
"She's...back. Grandma, where did the Zhang family go? When will they be back?"
Are you back? If you are back, why are you not seeing anyone?
The old lady gave her a strange look, and when she saw the black box in her arms, her heart skipped a beat: Could it be...
Where is such a good girl? Just gone like that?
She has been a neighbor of the Zhang family for more than 30 years. It can be said that she watched the Zhang brothers and sisters grow up. It is hard not to like this sweet-mouthed and well-behaved girl.
When the person went missing, not only did everyone in her alley go out to look for him, they almost turned the entire Shanghai city upside down, but...the person was still not found.
Now that we met again, it was exactly in this situation. The old lady's eyes were red, and her mouth opened and closed several times before she continued to ask, "What is that?"
Seeing her nod, the old lady's tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn't stop them.
When he came to his senses, he remembered something and quickly wiped his eyes and said to her, "You, take Nannan to the hospital quickly!"
"Which hospital?"
After finding out the details, Suning thanked Xiaoqiu, took her hand and quickly rushed to the hospital.
Xiaoqiu pursed her lips and said nothing, but she couldn't help holding her hand tighter and tighter, and even broke out in a layer of sticky sweat.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoqiu. Grandpa hasn't seen you and mom yet. Everything will be fine, ah!"
"Um!"
Lizi: Wow, asking for some votes is not too much, right? I'll just... exchange Ningning's beauty for it, or if that doesn't work, Utopia Space will do!
Suning: What are you talking about? Say it again?
Li Zi: If your own mother is not good, what good can you be? Right, open up the pattern girl!
Suning: Then... since I've been single for twenty years, can I change my career?
A certain male protagonist: Do you have to kill me to liven up the party?
Hahahaha, I just made myself laugh, please vote for me, my cuties!
