A'mei's face was full of anticipation when she heard his words. Thinking of the time she had spent with her these days, Song Zhiyao nodded.
After she nodded, a smile appeared on A-mei's face, a smile that she hadn't seen for so many days.
The aunt next to him said, "No matter how hard I try to entertain this child these past few days, he won't smile."
Although the words were spoken directly, their tone was filled with heartache. A-mei had been in the hospital for so many days and no one had come to visit her family. It was impossible for her mother to come as she had abandoned her.
Her father Wang Dawei did not come to the hospital to look for her, let alone other relatives. There was no news of anyone nearby looking for the child.
Thinking of this, the aunt asked the police captain beside her, "Comrade Public Security, has anyone come to your place to report a crime looking for my sister these days?"
The two police officers looked extremely ugly when they heard this. These days they went to the machinery factory privately to investigate A-mei's situation. People in the family compound said it was a pity that A-mei was lost.
They waited and waited at the police station but did not see her parents come to report the case, and from a distance they saw that her parents seemed fine.
The police officer's silence made everyone present know what it meant. The aunt did not ask any more questions but thought about having a good talk with her husband after returning home.
"Comrade Public Security, let's set off now." Song Zhiyao's words broke the silence.
The machinery factory is not far from the hospital, and it only takes half an hour to walk there. Two policemen came on bicycles. There was no room for everyone with their bags, so they simply put their things on the bicycles and walked with their hands on their shoulders.
Song Zhiyao was not very talkative, and it was her aunt who did all the talking along the way.
Her husband is Engineer Yang, the head of the technical department of a machinery factory. She used to work in a supply and marketing cooperative and is now retired. Her name is Li Zhaodi. She grew up in a family that favors boys over girls and she hates this phenomenon the most.
She has been taking care of her grandson alone these days. Her son and daughter-in-law are busy with work and rarely come home, so she didn't tell them.
Perhaps seeing that Song Zhiyao was worried about A-mei's condition, she immediately promised, "Doctor Song, don't worry, I will often keep an eye on A-mei after she returns home. I didn't know the moral character of Wang Dawei and his wife before, so I will supervise them together with my husband in the future."
Song Zhiyao was impressed by Li Zhaodi's enthusiasm. "Aunt, you will need to take good care of my younger sister in the future. She is old enough to go to school. Can you talk to her father about it when the time comes?"
Li Zhaodi gets excited when talking about going to school. She has wanted to study since she was a child. Due to family reasons, she only went to elementary school for a few years. She has always envied those who study.
He immediately promised, "Don't worry, Dr. Song. If Wang Dawei doesn't let A-mei go to school next year, I will go to him or even the street office to resolve the issue."
Li Zhaodi's attitude made Song Zhiyao completely relieved. She might not trust others, but she was sure that the person in front of her would not go back on his word without having to listen to his thoughts.
Looking at Ah Mei who was holding her hand tightly, she said, "Ah Mei, you must study hard in school. Only knowledge will never let you down."
Maybe A-mei didn’t understand what Song Zhiyao said, but her eyes were so firm.
A long time later, A-mei was still motivated when she thought of Song Zhiyao's words, and she kept persisting no matter how great the difficulties she encountered.
Li Zhaodi heard Song Zhiyao's words, looked at her, and asked the question that had been bothering her for the past few days, "Doctor Song, you don't look very old, do you?"
Song Zhiyao has heard this a lot. Many patients' families thought that she was young and her medical skills must not be very good. They wondered if she had not graduated or became a doctor through connections.
Li Zhaodi asked the same question as those people, and he knew she meant no harm. "I'm 18 years old and graduated from college this year."
As soon as she said this, Chen Gongan spoke up immediately, "Doctor Song, you are kidding, right? You graduated from college at the age of 18, and you only studied in college for two years?"
They should have the common sense to know that it takes at least five years to graduate as a doctor.
The two police officers were shocked. They must be amazing. "Oh my god, Doctor Song, you are amazing."
Li Zhaodi's mouth was open so wide that two eggs could fit in it, and she gave a thumbs up.
After a while, he said to the sister next to him, "Sister, you should be as good as Dr. Song in the future."
The adults' reactions naturally infected the two children around them. The way they looked at Song Zhiyao also changed. They used to think this doctor was very good, but now they admired him.
Song Zhiyao had expected their reaction. She felt that what others thought was amazing was nothing to be proud of, as there were many truly amazing people out there.
Her calm performance won the admiration of the three adults next to her. After returning home, they would often use Song Zhiyao's deeds to encourage their own children.
Half an hour's journey was not long, and we soon arrived at the machinery factory's staff quarters. Li Zhaodi's family did not live here, they lived on another street with their son.
In order to support A-mei, Li Zhaodi brought her grandson to the machinery factory’s staff quarters.
The guard saw two police officers coming to their place and thought someone in their machinery factory had committed a crime. He hurried out to ask, "Comrade police officer, what's going on?"
Seeing the guard's nervousness, the police captain did not beat around the bush, "Comrade, we are here to send the daughter of Wang Dawei from your machinery factory home."

When the police appeared at the machinery factory, people coming and going naturally stopped to watch the excitement. Now they heard that Wang Dawei's daughter had returned.
The crowd was in an uproar. "Amei is back? She got lost while playing around. Did she know to go to the police?"
"He Damei said today that she reported the case a few days ago, but the police said they couldn't find it."
"Amei looks good and doesn't seem to want to get lost and suffer." Amei has been eating and sleeping well in the hospital these days. Song Zhiyao also tells her stories and she is in very good spirits.
When Li Zhaodi heard everyone's discussion and thought about Ah Mei's visit to the hospital that day, she started to curse, "What nonsense is He Damei talking about? She left Ah Mei alone in the hospital. If it weren't for the kindness of the hospital doctor, Ah Mei might be dead now."
That was exactly the situation that day. If the virus was not taken care of carefully, A-mei's condition would become worse and she might not be able to fight the virus.
The hospital has encountered many children who died due to severe infection in recent days. Li Zhaodi saw it clearly.
Now when he heard someone say that A-mei got lost because she was playing too much, he was furious.
Many people know Li Zhaodi from the Machinery Factory. Her husband is a technical backbone and many people were trained by Engineer Yang.
As soon as she said this, everyone looked towards Li Zhaodi. One of the women in cadre uniforms walked up to her and asked, "Aunt Li, do you know about this?"
Li Zhaodi was delighted to see that it was the director of the Women's Federation of the Machinery Factory. She had planned to find her later and said, "Director Yuan, I was in the hospital taking care of my grandson the day my sister went missing. You didn't know that day."
Afterwards, he described the miserable situation of A-mei that he saw that day in an even more exaggerated way, implying that the workers in the machinery factory could not afford to raise a child, and if outsiders knew about it, they would definitely make up stories to blame the factory leaders.
If other sister factories knew about this, they might go to their superiors to exaggerate the situation, and it would be difficult for their factory to win any honors this year.
Song Zhiyao, who was standing by, was full of admiration as she described her story vividly, while everyone else around her looked angry.
