The Cheng family was stunned.

Has Cheng Xiuxiu been away for so long and hasn’t come back?

Calculating the time, it seems that the birth is almost imminent, and it won’t be long before it happens.

"Do you know where Cheng Xiuxiu is?"

"We don't know." Cheng Youmin shook his head. He is the head of the family and he has to speak out now. "She came back to her parents' home in July and stayed here for one night. She also took money from her family. When we went to look for her, her in-laws said she was not at home. I waited for a whole day but she didn't show up."

The Feng family's neighbors can all testify to this matter. He hung around there for a whole day, hoping that Cheng Xiuxiu and Feng Dafu would come back, but when it was almost dark, no one was seen.

"Can you take us to your home?" they asked politely.

"Okay, come with us."

We took people from the family planning office to the house and looked carefully. There was no place for hiding people. They even checked the pigpen and there was nothing for pregnant women or infants.

"Is there any other relative's house where we can hide the person?" There was no trace at home. The people in the family planning office felt that Cheng Xiuxiu's escape had nothing to do with her mother's family. Judging from the shocked expressions on her family's faces, they probably didn't know about it.

"I don't think so. If you want to look for it, I can take you to visit some relatives," said Cheng Youmin.

"Okay, then take us for a walk."

Cheng Youmin took some people there, and the others stayed at home.

Zhu Tianfang didn't look very well and sat there absent-mindedly.

"Mom?" Su Qianqian called her several times before she responded, "Xiu Xiu is so confused! I don't know where she went, but she insisted on giving birth to a son, she insisted on giving birth to a son!"

"She must have thought about escaping after taking the money from home. Escaping is too dangerous. If something happens, there may be two deaths!"

Only those who have given birth know that giving birth is sometimes like walking through the gates of hell.

"Where would she hide?" Zhu Tianfang frowned, thinking about where Cheng Xiuxiu might be hiding.

"What if I get found..." When she thought about being found, her hands and feet went weak and she dared not think further.

Su Qianqian had nothing to say. In her opinion, it was Cheng Xiuxiu's own fault. If she insisted on giving birth to a son, then this was the price she had to pay.

Wu Yuexiang didn't know what to say. She and Su Qianqian looked at each other. Su Qianqian motioned for her to speak. She could only bite the bullet and persuade, "Mom, don't think too much. Since she escaped, she must have hidden in a place we can't think of, otherwise we wouldn't have missed her for so long."

"If the Family Planning Office looks for it this way now, it's possible that it will be found."

"There's nothing we can do about that. Why don't we go look for it first? We can think of a solution based on the flowers we find first." Wu Yuexiang suggested.

Zhu Tianfang said nothing.

After thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "Forget it. She has chosen this path and she has to finish it even if she cries. If she hadn't been so naughty at the beginning, treated Tian Ya well, and didn't steal money from home, I would have helped her. Now... forget it. Everyone has their own destiny." She sighed deeply.

The atmosphere at home suddenly became a little depressing.

"Brother." Cheng Yue glanced at Cheng Song, Cheng Song nodded, and then the two brothers went out.

Su Qianqian did not stop them, knowing that the two brothers wanted to go look for it.

However, when it was dark, Cheng Youmin came back and didn't find anyone. Cheng Song and Cheng Yue had not returned yet.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, the two brothers returned.

"We didn't find it." They searched every place they could think of, and also went to Feng's house to ask, but they couldn't get anything out, so they had to give up.

The Feng family meant that the couple went out to work and earn money, not to escape. Without evidence, they could not use force.

And judging from what the Feng family said, they probably don’t know either.

When it comes to escaping, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"You have done your best, so don't think about it. Everyone has their own destiny. It's best if she is fine. If she is, it's not our fault." Cheng Youmin said, "We have done our best for her!"

No matter who Cheng Xiuxiu blames, she can never blame them!

"You two should eat something quickly. You've been running outside for so long in such a cold day. Drink some ginger soup to warm yourself up."

Cheng Yue was in good physical condition, but Cheng Song couldn't eat enough and felt better after drinking a big bowl of ginger soup.

"A good New Year's Eve has turned out like this. Let's not think about it anymore. Tomorrow is New Year's Day. Let's be happy. It's a new year and a new beginning!" As the head of the family, Cheng Youmin had to stand up and speak.

We can’t let Cheng Xiuxiu make the whole family uneasy.

This year would have been a lively New Year's Eve, but everyone went to look for Cheng Xiuxiu, and we didn't even get to have the reunion dinner.

"Then let's stay up together today. Mom, let's make some more food, and we can sit together and eat while staying up. After twelve o'clock, we will set off firecrackers!" Su Qianqian suggested. Of course the New Year should be lively and lively, and setting off firecrackers will dispel the gloom!

"Yes, yes, Erbao's mother is right. The firecrackers are already prepared." Zhu Tianfang agreed.

She and Su Qianqian got up to get some food and put out the snacks and fruit plates. Everyone sat in the house, listening to the radio and chatting.

The radio was a second-hand one that Cheng Song bought with the money he earned this year. It was quite new. Having a radio at home made sound and seemed lively.

"Here they come. Hot dumplings. Let's eat some first."

"There are also duck feet, duck wings, and duck heads... they are all still hot."

"I fried some peanuts for you to eat with your wine." Su Qianqian brought out the peanuts with a smile.

It was just a plate of ordinary peanuts, but she fried them and they looked especially delicious. I could feel the crispness even before I ate them. It was indeed so! Especially fragrant.

"Qianqian, based on your skill in frying peanuts, if you sell them, they will definitely be a best-seller." When Wu Yuexiang sees what Su Qianqian makes, her first reaction is to sell it!

She didn't like peanuts very much, but when Su Qianqian fried them, she couldn't help but eat a lot of them and couldn't stop.

"I have an idea, brother and sister-in-law. After the New Year, we will go to the town to set up a stall and put up a sign next to the stall saying Cheng's Hundred Flavors. We can sell marinated duck, peanuts, pickled vegetables, etc."

"Cheng family's Hundred Flavors?" Everyone was shocked.

Because all the things were actually thought up by Su Qianqian and made by her, but it was actually called Cheng Family Department Store, which made the Cheng family feel a little embarrassed.

"I think we should call it Su Ji Department Store." Cheng Youmin said. He would lose face if he called it Cheng Family Department Store.

Su Qianqian smiled and said, "This is the result of the joint efforts of our whole family. If you didn't help, we wouldn't be able to make these things. The big name is Cheng's Flavors, and we can give other names to some of the smaller categories. For example, I want to call the marinated duck Su Ya Ji. Sister-in-law, if you also make a food, you can also name it after yourself."

This is equivalent to many small brands under one big brand.

The more everyone listened, the more they felt it was possible, and they became even more excited.
