Chapter 690: Goudanzhuzi
Ten days later, dumplings!
Yes, his name is Goudan now, and Goudan has gotten used to life here.
It was no use not getting used to it, as his feet were tied with iron chains and he could only move within the range of the chains.
This family consists of a father, a mother, and five sisters.
Goudan knew that his father was very powerful and could beat people.
Hitting hurts.
After he vomited the half bowl of sorghum rice and wild vegetable porridge for the first time, the father beat him severely with a bamboo stick.
He stayed in bed for three days before he recovered. From then on, he knew that his father was the one who had the final say in the family.
My mother and five sisters are all very afraid of my father.
Gou'er already knew, after being beaten three times, that he was the least free one in the family.
Because he was too naughty, his father tied him up at home with this iron chain.
The farthest he went was when he sat on a small stool in the yard and cut food for the pigs.
Yes, he has learned to cut pig food.
Dad said that children from farming families should learn these things, and when he grows up a little, he should go to the fields and do farm work with his dad.
Because he is the man of the family, and a man should be the pillar of the family.
I have five sisters. Three of them work in the fields with my parents, and two of them have to do all the housework at home.
There is a pig and three chickens at home.
The sisters also had to go up the mountain to chop firewood, collect grass for pigs, make fires, cook, wash clothes, clean the house, and fetch water.
Goudan always felt that he didn't fit in with this family. He didn't know why, why there were always some special things popping up in his memory.
Although he knew in his heart that this was his home, it was his parents.
But for some reason, he always felt that there was a gentle voice of his parents talking to him in his mind, telling him many things.
But he felt confused.
He knew these were his parents.
I don’t know why, but as soon as he opened his eyes and his parents told him that they were his parents, he was certain that they were his parents.
Now there are always some inexplicable things popping up.
Goudan is very sad.
"Goudan, it's time to eat."
The fifth sister asked her brother to bring him a bowl.
The fifth sister was the one who brought him the bowl of black sorghum and wild vegetable porridge at the beginning.
The sisters didn't seem to talk much and rarely talked or played with him on weekdays.
His mother rarely came near him.
Except for Dad, who would come over to look at him and say a few words to him every time he came back, it seemed that everyone in this family was like this.
Goudan looked at the sorghum porridge in his bowl which was getting less and less. He knew that his family could only eat two meals a day, but he could only eat one meal.
Because my dad said that he was too fat and that was why he was eating the family into poverty.
At first he was so hungry that he couldn't sleep, but now he felt full after eating this little sorghum porridge.
Of course, if there is a mirror in the house for him to look at.
He will find that he has changed from a chubby little boy into a thin and dark child. The little boy has lost a lot of weight.
Maybe it’s been a short time. Although he is dark, he is still very fair compared to his sisters.
Goudan felt that he would probably live like this for the rest of his life. He hoped that one day he would stop being naughty and his parents would stop locking him up with chains.
…………
Baozi poured a basin of foot washing water from outside and carefully brought it into the house.
"Dad, let me wash your feet."
The man sitting on the edge of the kang tapped his pipe with satisfaction.
"Zhu Zi, remember, you have to be obedient. You are my son, and this house will be yours from now on. If you don't obey, you know how we caught the kid next door when he ran away. We broke his legs. Dad doesn't want to break your legs and make you a cripple, so that it will be difficult for you to find a wife in the future."
The 60-year-old man had wrinkles all over his face, and there was a chilling chill in his words.
Baozi smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry! My stepmother was not nice to me before, and my dad didn't like me at all. He beat me every day. Don't look at me as fat and white, that's because I stole pig food.
I am enjoying my life here with you. You treat me like your own son, and I treat you like my own father. I will definitely take care of you in your old age. I won’t run away. What’s the point of running away? What can a little kid like me do if I go out? I will starve to death.”
Baozi's words made the man even more satisfied with his son. Although he spent 10,000 yuan on him, his son was really well-behaved and obedient.
Although he asked his wife and two daughters to keep a close eye on this boy.
But you can see that this boy is quite honest. He does all kinds of work at home and outside, and he is sensible. He never runs outside the village and no one has even asked around. It seems that this child is determined to stay.
But we still have to wait and see, who knows.
It will take at least three to five years to train this kind of child.
…………
Song Moting and his team had searched everywhere in northern Beijing, but no one had found any trace of the two children.
The two children seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Xiaoxiao had known for more than a month that her child was missing.
She was discharged from the hospital after a week, so it was understandable that she didn't see her child.
After all, she couldn't always bring the children to the hospital. But when she returned home to recuperate, she still hadn't seen her two children. This was not right.
Especially the atmosphere at home is not right now.
The old man and the old lady often talked about something in the living room, but when Jiang Xiaoxiao appeared, the old lady and the old man immediately said nothing, obviously doing it behind her back.
The old lady's red eyes never went away.
Jiang Xiaoxiao called Song Moting over and asked him.
Finally the truth was revealed, and Song Moting knew he could no longer conceal it. He could not hide the two children from anyone under any pretext.
Jiang Xiaoxiao almost fainted when she heard the news that her two children were missing.
Song Moting supported his wife and said, "Don't worry, we are looking for her."
These are really just words of comfort. It has been more than a month and they still don't have any clues.
Song Moting has contacted Jin Dachuan and sent all his previous people out, but there is still no news.
Because this clue is too hard to find.
When they left the hospital, no one paid any attention to the two children.
Someone once reported seeing two children on the train during that time period, but there is no confirmed news about this. Moreover, the train stops at too many stations, and it would take time to search for them one by one.
Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at her twin daughters lying on the small bed.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are already one month old and look more and more like Tangyuan when he was a child, but Tangyuan’s buns are gone now.
Although she didn't want to cry, her tears couldn't stop falling.
Things were at a stalemate, and all kinds of rumors, suspicions and assumptions arose.
It wasn't a kidnapping, no one asked for a ransom, and the two children just disappeared.
However, they finally began to hear some news about a one-eyed man who was said to be taking a train with two children who looked very similar to their Tangyuan Baozi. However, every time they were about to find him, they always came back empty-handed.
That person is elusive and hard to find.
