Ouyang Zhenyu agreed with an embarrassed expression.
"Big sister, I've got it."
I just watched someone change their daughter's diaper, and then I had to make formula to feed her. I was so flustered that I finally learned how to make formula according to the correct ratio.
If it weren't for this woman, her child wouldn't have had enough milk either.
I need to supplement with some formula. If I knew the amount, I probably wouldn't even know how to make formula myself.
The elder sister-in-law asked kindly.
"Comrades! It's really inconvenient for you to travel with a newborn baby so late at night. What happened?"
Looking at his daughter's profile, Ouyang Zhenyu realized that she was currently only 135km away from his son.
"Actually, we're looking for our child."
The elder sister-in-law was filled with righteous indignation after hearing about Ouyang Zhenyu's plight.
"Your wife is so pitiful. She encountered such a wicked mother-in-law right after the child was born. It's a mistake for you not to acknowledge your adoptive mother."
If we continue to associate with them, who knows what might happen.
"Comrade, are there any production teams or farms more than 130km away from here?"
Ouyang Zhenyu wanted to know what the situation would be like once he arrived at that place.
The sister-in-law paused for a moment, thought about it, and nodded.
“You’ve come to the right place. There’s a pretty big military reclamation area about 130km from here. This military reclamation area is different from our farm.”
Our farm is a small farm.
Generally, there are only forty or fifty households, but beyond that is the large town of Qike.
I've been there; my man's brother lives there.
The area is very prosperous, and there are several large factories there, so there are relatively many people, probably several hundred thousand.
"But that place is too big. It's like searching for a needle in a haystack. It's not easy to find the child."
Ouyang Zhenyu felt a chill in his heart; he hadn't expected the place he was going to to be like this.
I'm also very grateful that I brought my daughter with me; if I hadn't, I probably would have had to rely on myself for this trip...
Half an hour later, they said goodbye to the family and continued driving.
However, the extra man in the car was a kind-hearted couple. When they heard that the couple had encountered such a big problem, they asked their husbands to lead the way.
At least he can go find his younger brother.
I heard that the man's younger brother is a cadre in the state-owned farm area and is doing quite well.
The only downside to the man's younger brother is that the couple has never had children, and this lack of children has become a source of heartache for them over the years.
They rode camels all the way to the agricultural reclamation area.
When they arrived at the state farm area, it was already evening. Ouyang Zhenyu looked at his youngest daughter's panel, which showed that they were only 500m away from their son. He couldn't help but feel excited. The distance of 500m made him feel as if he had seen hope in his heart.
The man who led the way was named Huang Qifeng.
Old Huang is an honest man.
Over the years, they have supported their family by planting trees in the desert.
His wife herded cattle and sheep in the production team area.
Although life was hard, the family was very happy.
Huang Qifeng speaks broken Mandarin; he's not very good at it.
There was a bit of dialect mixed in, but fortunately Gu Tinghui and Ouyang Zhenyu could understand it.
The group followed Huang Qifeng directly to his younger brother's house.
Looking at the small courtyard in front of me, it's a little different from other courtyards here because it belongs to a family.
However, it occupies a considerable area, including eight large tile-roofed houses.
You should know that in the state farm areas, it was very rare for a family to have eight large tile-roofed houses back then.
The important thing is that this area belongs to a textile factory.
Most of them are textile factory workers, and the surrounding area is the dormitory area of various factories.
The large tile-roofed house in this courtyard is clearly out of place compared to the smaller courtyards around it.
Old Huang introduced him with a smile.
"My younger brother and his wife are both very well-off. They are both employed; my brother is the deputy director of a textile factory, and his wife is the accountant at the same factory."
Aside from not having children, the couple lived the most comfortable life among us brothers.
I brought you here to find my younger brother, mainly because he knows a lot of people.
I know quite a few people in this area.
Besides, we can talk to him, so having him help you inquire is much better than searching for a needle in a haystack.
Huang Qifeng knocked on the courtyard gate, and Ouyang Zhenyu pulled Gu Tinghui aside and said in a low voice.
"After you go inside, have someone observe the surroundings."
"What's going on? Why are you making me look around?"
"The child is right here."
Gu Tinghui was so surprised when he heard this that his eyes widened. How could this be?
What is Ouyang Zhenyu holding in his hand?
It's like using a minesweeper.
Finding my son is that easy.
Just then, Huang Qifeng knocked on the courtyard door, and everyone's attention turned to the owner inside.
Someone opened the gate to the courtyard, and a man was seen standing at the entrance.
Seeing so many strangers outside, the man immediately closed the gate slightly and asked warily.
"Brother, who are you with?"
Huang Qifeng smiled and pointed to the people behind him.
"Second brother, these comrades behind you are from the military."
They have something to ask you; they're looking for a baby. They heard it's only two days old and they'd like your help.
Upon hearing this, Huang Lao Er's expression changed slightly, and his eyes became more wary as he spoke to the people outside.
"How can I help you with something like this?"
I can't be of much help. I'm just the deputy director of a textile factory. At least I can go to other people's homes and ask if they have children.
"If you really can't find me for this, you'll have to contact the local police station if you want help."
He said to Huang Qifeng in a displeased tone,
"Brother, don't bring all sorts of random people to my door all the time. I don't know them, and you're not afraid of causing me trouble with something this big."
"Brother, you should go back. It's nothing. Don't keep coming to my house. You know my wife always gives you a hard time when she sees you guys."
Okay, I'm closing the door.
Without saying a word, he slammed the door shut, and you could hear it being locked tightly from the inside.
The man quickly went back into the house and closed the inner door.
The moment he returned to the house, someone heard a faint baby crying inside.
The cry was only once, and then the sound quickly disappeared.
If Gu Tinghui was initially skeptical about the matter, he immediately became alert the moment he heard the baby crying.
"I'm sorry, comrades! My brother... my brother just has this kind of temper, he's not a bad person."
Huang Qifeng was a little embarrassed, clearly not expecting his younger brother to shut him out, making him, the older brother, look particularly humiliated in front of everyone.
Besides, it was the couple who offered to ask their younger brother for help; these comrades didn't ask for anything.
Now, this is the situation we're facing instead.
