Chapter 157 The Girl with a Baby (1)
Everyone stared at Fang Ying and Ding Changxiu.
Ding Changxiu was already anxious, and after hearing Fang Ying's accusation, her tears flowed down and she sobbed, "No! No... I really saw Mingming hugging you, and you turned back to look at the child... I am sure I really saw the child walk to your side, so I was relieved! I, I am a kindergarten teacher, I have this sense of responsibility!"
Fang Ying screamed, "Are you deaf? I said I didn't see him!"
The family members were silent for a while, and then an old lady spoke.
"Fang Ying, I was standing on Changxiu's side. I was sitting behind you at the time. I saw Mingming coming over and hugging you, but you said 'get out' to the child... Then the child stood in the aisle next to him. At that time, I was worried that the child would be squeezed away if he stood in the aisle, so I shouted at him, 'Mingming, stand here and don't move, there are too many people'..."
"…But when I packed my things and was ready to leave, you and Mingming were gone! Changxiu and Lao Xu hadn't left yet!" said the old lady.
Others also blamed Fang Ying -
"Is there a mother like you? You don't take care of your child yourself and push it to others to take care of?"
"You found the child annoying when he was with you, but now that he's gone, you want to breastfeed him?"
"You didn't care about the child when we were in the satellite city! If you said you didn't care about him, why did you give birth to him?"
"I've been wanting to ask, are you the stepmother? Or did you pick up the child?"
"If you don't teach your child, you will regret it later!"
Fang Ying was also furious. "My child is lost! You are blaming me here? Did I lose my child? Really? I, I am the child's biological mother! I gave birth to him after ten months of pregnancy... He is lost, and I am the one who suffers the most! How can you do this? You are so cold-blooded!"
Compared with the family members who were arguing, the employees were down-to-earth and practical people. They ran around the cinema but really couldn't find Xiao Mingming.
The men gathered together to think of a solution.
Chief Ma, "We have to call the police!"
Liu Xiaoxuan was so anxious that she almost cried, "But the police won't accept a case where the child has been missing for less than 24 hours!"
Song Zhi hesitated and said, "I'll go to the police station and talk to them." He has the qualification to be an internal reference, so as long as he can make a phone call, he can mobilize people.
Xu Gong also said: "We can't just sit there and do nothing. We have to quickly find people from the cinema and then divide into groups to search nearby... The child has not been missing for long, so he should not have gone far."
So everyone went their separate ways.
Song Zhiqian told Taotao, "I'm going to the police station to look for someone. You take the child and don't go far."
Taotao nodded.
The men hurried out of the cinema.
The women are still arguing.
Taotao felt a dull pain in her temples from the noise, and left with her son.
However, at this critical moment, she didn't want to leave the cinema. Otherwise, when Song Zhi comes back after finishing his work, he won’t be able to find her... then he will be scared and it will only cause more trouble.
So Taotao stood at the door of the cinema holding her child.
Today is not a rest day, but as the New Year is approaching, there are many passers-by coming and going on the streets. There are many vendors pushing carts and carrying poles at the entrance of the cinema selling various snacks.
There are vendors selling sugar-roasted chestnuts and melon seeds, salted peanuts, hot and sour sweet potato noodles, fried cakes, and roasted sweet potatoes...
After all, Xiao Feibai was still young and didn't know why the adults were arguing. He was just greedy. He swung his legs and poked the vendor selling roasted sweet potatoes with his thin fingers, "Mom, mom! I want that! I want that!"
The 40-year-old vendor quickly said, "Little boy! Ask your mother to buy you some roasted sweet potatoes! Freshly roasted sweet potatoes are very sweet! They are also fragrant and sticky!"
Xiao Feibai became even more anxious, hugged his mother's neck and shouted "Mom, Mom"...
Taotao had no choice but to carry the child over and picked out two roasted sweet potatoes. After the vendor weighed them, she put the child down and let the child hold her legs while she took out a cloth bag and gave the money to the vendor.
The vendor gave Taotao the change.
As a result, when Taotao put the money into the cloth bag——
Her elbow hit something...soft yet hard with a "bang" sound? !
Taotao looked back and was stunned.
Standing behind her was a middle-aged woman holding a baby.
And it looked like Taotao's elbow...just hit the baby's head in the cradle!
Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, and quickly apologized to the middle-aged woman, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I really didn't notice you standing behind me... Come and check on the child, is it okay?"
The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's okay!"
Then she hurried away holding the baby in her arms.
Taotao still felt very guilty, "Auntie! Wait a minute... that was a pretty serious blow just now, why don't you go and see how the child is? If there's anything wrong with the child, I'll pay for his treatment!"
At noon, the woman quickened her pace, said "No thanks", and ran away in a hurry.
Taotao stared at the woman intently, feeling that something was not right.
At this time, the vendor had already handed the roasted sweet potato to Xiao Feibai.
Xiao Feibai was very surprised to hold the roasted sweet potato in his hands, but he didn't know how to eat it, so he could only shout "Mom, Mom, Mom" non-stop...
Taotao turned her attention to her son, carefully peeled off the sweet potato skin, and told the child, "It's very hot, you have to blow on it first, and you can eat it only after it cools down."
Xiao Feibai has already tried to eat——
Before the pink little tongue licked the roasted sweet potato, it was stimulated by the scalding heat. It suddenly didn't dare to eat it, and puffed up its cheeks to blow air at the fragrant roasted sweet potato.
"Oh!" Someone in the front exclaimed again.
Taotao looked up and saw that the middle-aged woman holding the baby had bumped into a fat woman who had just bought some roasted melon seeds. The roasted melon seeds wrapped in brown paper in the fat woman's hand were scattered all over the floor...
Taotao stared at the middle-aged woman holding the child and frowned.
"Hey, how can you be like this!" The fat woman scolded the middle-aged woman holding the child, "Don't you have eyes when you walk?"
The woman holding the child apologized quickly, "Sorry, I'm sorry! I'm in a hurry! I'm in a hurry..."
As she said this, she ran away with the child in her arms.
Taotao finally realized why the woman holding the child gave her so much discomfort:
——The woman’s clothes were very ordinary, and there were even patches on the edges of her clothes, but the swaddling clothes she used to hold her baby were made of a very thick and tender pink material. In this small border mountain town where boys are favored over girls, there are not many families who can take the time to sew a pink swaddle suitable for a baby girl, but the family conditions are definitely not suitable for this woman who is dressed in ordinary clothes.
——Taotao just hit the child’s head with quite a bit of force. Why isn’t the child crying or making a fuss?
——The child was hit, why didn’t this middle-aged woman care about the child at all and just wanted to run away? This is completely different from the nice, thick swaddling clothes that you use to wrap your baby!
Last question: What is this woman panicking about?
A bold idea suddenly came to Taotao's mind.
But--
The middle-aged woman had already run away holding the baby.
Taotao thought: No matter what, I'll stop the person first. If I make a mistake, I can apologize to him later!
So she made up her mind, pointed at the woman running away and shouted, "...Stop her! Stop her! She's a kidnapper!"
In an instant, the entire bustling street became silent.
Only the middle-aged woman holding the pink swaddling clothes quickened her pace and ran away desperately!
The vendor selling roasted sweet potatoes stared at Taotao blankly and asked incredulously, "That person... is she a kidnapper?"
"Catch her quickly!!!" Taotao shouted anxiously.
The vendor selling roasted sweet potatoes immediately shouted "Stop!" and as if his feet were installed with springs, he quickly ran towards the middle-aged woman!
As soon as he moved, the others woke up from their dreams.
At that moment, many people ran after the middle-aged woman...
Xiao Feibai suddenly cried out "wow".
Taotao looked down and saw that the child was frightened and his hand loosened...
The peeled baked sweet potato fell to the ground.
She quickly picked up the child and coaxed him, "It's okay, it's okay. Mommy will buy you another one later, okay?"
Little Feibai cried out of breath, "I'm sorry, Mommy... Feifei, Feifei didn't mean it, wuwu..."
"It's okay, it's okay," Tao Tao quickly comforted her son, "Did your hand get burned?"
Xiao Feibai shook his head.
"Hurry up and show mom if your hands are burned." Taotao ordered.
The little guy sobbed and handed his little hands to his mother to see, and after looking at the palms, he asked her to see the backs of his hands.
Taotao was relieved when she saw that the child's hand was fine.
The employees in the satellite city were patrolling nearby, and when they saw the chaos on the street, they rushed over.
Seeing Taotao again, they asked, "Sister Song, what's going on here? Why are they running away?"
Tao Tao explained: "They went to catch the kidnapper..."
The employees' eyes suddenly lit up. "Is it the kidnapper who kidnapped Mingming?"
Taotao shook her head, "No..."
The fire in the workers' eyes dimmed slightly.
Someone asked: "Is it possible that these kidnappers are all in the same group?"
Everyone got excited again, "Let's go and take a look!"
They ran forward, and one of them turned back and told Taotao, "Sister Song, don't walk around with the child, just stay here!"
Taotao nodded.
After everyone left——
Xiao Feibai hugged his mother's neck and asked timidly, "Mom, kidnapper?"
——What is a kidnapper?
Tao Tao explained, "Kidnappers specialize in kidnapping children. They snatch the children away and sell them... The children will never see their parents again!"
Xiao Feibai was stunned!
——You will never see your parents again after being kidnapped by a kidnapper? So scary QAQ!
Then Xiao Feibai pointed at the employees who had run away from the satellite city and asked his mother, "Mom, uncle? Kidnapper? Xiao Mingming?"
——Why do the uncles say that Xiao Mingming was caught by kidnappers?
Tao Tao sighed, "Xiao Mingming is missing. I wonder if he was kidnapped by a kidnapper..."
Xiao Feibai opened his mouth wide and asked, "Xiao Mingming???"
——Was Xiao Mingming really kidnapped by the kidnappers? Will I never see my parents again?
Taotao nodded.
Xiao Feibai asked again, "Mom, Xiao Mingming?" His tone was full of disbelief.
Taotao had no choice but to say it again, "Xiao Mingming is missing..."
“Xiao Mingming!” Xiao Feibai was so anxious that he desperately poked in a certain direction with his thin and pointed little finger, “Mommy, mommy, Xiao Mingming! Xiao Mingming!”
Taotao realized something was wrong and asked her son, "Do you know where Xiao Mingming is?"
Little Feibai shook his two short legs desperately, signaling his mother to put him down.
Taotao did as she was told.
As soon as Xiao Feibai stood firm, he ran towards a place not far away.
To be honest, Taotao didn't believe at all that Xiao Feifei knew Mingming's whereabouts.
But Xiao Feifei's reaction and body movements clearly conveyed to her the meaning: "Mom, Xiao Mingming is already here, why do you say he was kidnapped by a kidnapper?"
Is this a tacit understanding between children?
Xiao Feibai brought Taotao to a shack made of bamboo poles and felt on the street, which was only twenty meters away from the entrance of the cinema.
As soon as Taotao walked in, she heard Xiao Mingming crying.
Xiao Feibai didn't think too much about it. He just lifted the felt cloth and went in!
Tao Tao was startled, and wondered what to do if there was a kidnapper hiding in the shack...
But Xiao Feibai had already quickly sneaked in, so she had no choice but to follow him in, while at the same time raising her vigilance, making hand gestures, ready to use spiritual bullets if she encountered danger.
However, as soon as she entered the shack, she felt relieved.
The shack was not big and had no furniture. There was only a door panel on the ground with a bedding on it. Next to it were a few baskets filled with folded clothes and other things. It was quite clean.
Mingming was sitting on the bedding, crying.
Xiao Feibai squatted in front of him and asked, "Xiao Mingming... a kidnapper? Don't be afraid! Xiao Feifei will protect you! Feifei's mother will protect you! Don't cry, don't cry!"
Taotao glanced around the shack and made sure that there were no Tibetans inside, then she lifted the felt cloth and retreated.
A vendor nearby was surprised to see Tao Tao standing there, and asked, "Big sister, do you... want to talk to Brother Tiao about something?"
"Brother Tiao?" Taotao asked in surprise.
The vendor pointed to the shack and said, "This is Brother Tiao's home. He sells roasted sweet potatoes. He just heard that a kidnapper was trying to kidnap a child, so he went to chase him!"
Tao Tao suddenly realized and said quickly: "It's like this, the kid in our unit was naughty and went to his house to play! Well, I'll call the kid's mother..."
Just at this time, the family members of the unit were arguing in the cinema, and the winner had not yet been decided, when suddenly they discovered that Taotao and Xiao Feibai were also missing?
Everyone was surprised!
At that moment, several older people stayed in the cinema to take care of the children; the young wives also divided into several groups and hurried out to look for Taotao and her son.
Tao Tao noticed several wives from the work unit standing at the entrance of the cinema looking around, and she quickly called out, "Sister Zhang! Over here! Over here! I'm here! Ming Ming is here too!"
Taotao and her son suddenly disappeared, and the family members were shocked and angry...
When Sister Zhang suddenly saw Taotao, she felt relieved and hurried over here. She was about to complain when she suddenly heard Taotao say, Mingming is here too? ? ?
Sister Zhang had already run to the middle of the street. When she heard about Mingming's whereabouts, she turned around and ran back, shouting, "I found him! I found Mingming!"
This is serious!
Ding Changxiu and Fang Ying immediately ran out of the cinema at the same time -
The two of them stood at the door of the cinema, looked around, saw Taotao at the same time, and then ran towards Taotao at the same time.
Ding Changxiu asked Taotao first, "Mingming found it? Where is it?"
Taotao pointed to the shack behind her.
Ding Changxiu ran in regardless...
Fang Ying asked Tao Tao, "How did you know he was here? Did you kidnap him here?"
Taotao rolled her eyes at Fang Ying.
Ding Changxiu came out of the shack carrying Mingming. Xiao Feibai followed behind. He walked to his mother and hugged her legs directly.
Taotao also picked up her son.
Xiao Mingming sobbed in Ding Changxiu's arms...
Fang Ying asked Xiao Mingming directly, "Who brought you here?" As she spoke, she glared at Taotao with the side of her eyes.
Taotao glared back at Fang Ying.
Little Mingming was crying with tears in his eyes, and answered irrelevantly, "Mom doesn't want me anymore! Woo woo mom doesn't want me anymore... I don't want mom! I don't want mom, I don't want mom..."
Everyone was stunned.
Fang Ying was furious, "Who taught you to say that?"
Then he raised his hand high and slapped him hard.
Xiao Mingming’s crying stopped.
Ding Changxiu turned around at the right time while holding the child——
Fang Ying's slap landed on Ding Changxiu.
Tao Tao shouted angrily, "Fang Ying, are you seriously ill?"
"What's it to you how I discipline my children?" Fang Ying screamed.
Little Mingming burst into tears, "Old witch! Old witch cough cough cough... I don't want you! I don't want you, I don't want you, wuwu... Daddy! I want Daddy..."
Fang Ying was so angry that her face turned blue, and she said directly, "I'm going back to the guesthouse!"
Then she left empty-handed without looking back.
The family members looked at each other.
As soon as Fang Ying left, Xiao Mingming calmed down and cried in Ding Changxiu's arms, but he was not as excited as before.
Ding Changxiu asked Mingming, how did you get out? Were you brought out by others, or did you get out by yourself? Why are you here?
Mingming cried, "Mingming misses mommy... Mingming hugs mommy, mommy tells Mingming to get out... Someone is squeezing Mingming, Mingming calls mommy for help... Mommy ignores Mingming, Mingming falls down, big brother helps Mingming up, people are everywhere, Mingming can't find daddy..."
"Mingming was scared! So he ran here... There's a small house here! Mingming hid there, woooo..."
Although his words were a little confusing, the child was very smart, articulate, and spoke clearly.
——No one kidnapped him, he was pushed out by the crowd. He even fell down, and it must have been an older kid who helped him up. It was also because the person who helped him was also a child, and probably didn't realize how dangerous it would be for such a small child to be left alone, so the older child left him alone...
On the other side, Tao Tao was also asking her son, "Xiao Feibai, how did you know Mingming was here?"
Little Feibai was even more puzzled than his mother, "Mingming has been here all the time!" Then he pointed his finger at the door of the shack, "Mingming is sitting right here! Feifei saw Mingming, and Mingming saw Feifei too!"
Taotao looked back and saw that the shack was covered with black felt. Mingming was wearing a black corduroy coat and a black woolen hat...
Plus, the shack was across the street, and the street was full of people coming and going!
If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that there is a child sitting at the door of the shack.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Little did they know that Xiao Feifei had seen Mingming early in the morning, and Mingming had also seen Xiao Feifei early in the morning.
——He saw Xiao Feifei asking for roasted sweet potatoes, and then his mother bought them for him.
If it were Mingming’s mother, she would definitely not buy him roasted sweet potatoes!
——He saw Xiao Feifei holding a roasted sweet potato, but he didn’t eat a single bite and accidentally dropped it on the ground. But Feifei's mother didn't blame Feifei at all.
If it were Mingming's mother, she would have slapped him and scolded him for being wasteful!
——He saw that Feifei’s mother was still worried that the roasted sweet potatoes were too hot and would hurt little Feifei’s hands.
If it were Mingming's mother, she would probably beat him up...
Mingming looked at Xiao Feifei, then at Xiao Feifei's mother, and felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.
Why doesn’t he have such a good mother?
At this time, two of the wives found the employees in the satellite city and told them what they had discovered.
After a while, Liu Xiaoxuan hurried over.
Mingming immediately hugged his father and burst into tears.
Soon, Song Zhi also hurried over. He first glanced at Mingming who was tightly hugged by Liu Xiaoxuan, breathed a sigh of relief, then took his son from Taotao's arms and asked Taotao in a low voice, "...Taotao, did you ask a vendor selling roasted sweet potatoes to catch the kidnapper?"
Tao Tao was startled and quickly nodded, "Yes! How did you know?"
Song Zhi, "I was still at the police station at the time, making a phone call with them... Then a lot of people came to report a middle-aged woman, saying she was a kidnapper... I listened for a while, and heard a vendor selling roasted sweet potatoes say that a fairy called him to catch the kidnapper."
Then Song Zhi added very seriously, "As soon as he said it was a fairy, I knew it was you."
Peach. Little fairy. Peach:……
She quickly asked, "Is that middle-aged woman a kidnapper?"
Song Zhi nodded, "She's been arrested... I asked the police, they said her crime was too serious, she'll be sentenced to at least ten years. This woman is timid, so many people were calling for her to be beaten to death, she was very scared, when the police asked her, she answered everything. However, the police may want to ask you how you recognized the kidnapper... How about I go with you now?"
Taotao nodded.
At that moment, Song Zhi and Section Chief Ma told them to go to the state-owned restaurant first. After all, the item had been found, so it was just a false alarm, and they still had to go to the state-owned restaurant for the meal.
However, he had to take Taotao to the police station first - it was Taotao who identified him today at the entrance of the cinema, so he had to go to the police station to record a statement.
When Section Chief Ma heard that the kidnapper caught on the street today was recognized by Taotao?
He immediately said, "Okay! Then you two should hurry to the police station! We will wait for you if we can, but if we can't... you two can have another meal, and the company will reimburse you!"
Then he asked Song Zhi if he wanted them to bring Xiao Feibai to the banquet.
After experiencing Mingming’s disappearance, Taotao and Song Zhi didn’t dare to let go of their child... Naturally, they thanked Section Chief Ma and went to the police station with the child in their arms.
When she arrived at the police station, Taotao told the officer everything about the basis for her judgment.
The police officer suddenly realized what was going on and sighed, "It's only because you became a mother that you can observe things so carefully. If it were a grown man like us, we probably wouldn't be able to see anything wrong."
Tao Tao asked the police again, "Comrade, is the child okay?"
The police briefly explained the situation, "... the child couldn't be woken up, so we sent her to the hospital. According to the nurse at the hospital, it's a girl, less than a week old. The kidnapper's process of kidnapping the child was quite complicated... She wasn't kidnapped from a certain family, but from another gang... He stole the child, so it's quite tricky!"
Tao Tao said, "Comrade, the clothes the child is wearing and the swaddling clothes he is wrapped in... It's obvious that his parents love him very much. They must be very worried right now. You should contact the police stations in the nearby counties and cities. Maybe he was kidnapped from another city."
The police nodded.
After Taotao explained the situation to the police, she rushed to the state-owned hotel with Song Zhi, who was holding her son.
When we arrived at the state-owned restaurant, people from the unit had already started eating.
When they saw Song Zhi's family of three, everyone became excited.
Section Chief Ma quickly ordered the waiter to bring two more hot dishes. Liu Xiaoxuan came over with his son to thank Song Zhi and Tao Tao for their visit. Others kept asking them about what happened in the police station...
For a moment, the scene was happy and lively.
It was not until around seven or eight in the evening when the state-owned restaurant said it was closing that Section Chief Ma went to settle the bill and led everyone to the guesthouse.
Since it’s all around the train station business district, the family members said they wanted to go to the night market.
The men actually had no interest, but thinking that their wives had come from far away... they should really make them happy. Besides, we almost lost it today, which really made me nervous.
Just treat it as a way to calm down...
Let’s go together!
So everyone rushed to the night market again.
Taotao is having a shopping spree!
Of course, the most purchased items were snacks. She also bought two overalls, two pairs of handmade cotton shoes for her son, and two hats. She also bought a bunch of pretty hairbands for herself, and a pair of handmade fingerless gloves for her and Song Zhi. Finally, she found a vendor who specialized in leather belts and had two belts scored for Song Zhi...
Not only Taotao bought large and small bags of things, but others also bought a lot of things.
Liu Xiaoxuan felt sorry for his son, so he bought him a lot of snacks and a wooden warehouse toy. There was a leather rope tied to the trigger. As long as the rope was pulled tight and the trigger was pulled, there would be a loud "bang"!
Mingming was holding the small wooden gun, looking so proud.
But when Xiao Feibai handed over a piece of winter melon candy as Taotao requested... Mingming hesitated for a while with the sweet winter melon candy in his mouth, and lent his beloved little wooden gun to Xiao Feibai to play with.
Xiao Feibai played with it for a few times and then gave it back to Mingming, then looked at it eagerly.
I clearly understand: Xiao Feibai wants to take turns playing with him! Xiao Feibai won’t monopolize his toys!
He immediately fell in love with Xiao Feibai. On the way back to the guesthouse, the two of them played with each other... and soon became good friends.
Back at the guesthouse, Mingming and Xiao Feibai waved goodbye.
As soon as Taotao entered the room, she collapsed on the bed and didn't want to move. She felt extremely tired and extremely sleepy...
But there was another loud noise in the corridor - Liu Xiaoxuan and his son knocked on the door for a long time. No matter how loudly he shouted or begged in a low voice... Fang Ying just refused to open the door for Liu Xiaoxuan.
Liu Xiaoxuan had no choice but to hold his drowsy son in his arms, and went downstairs to find Section Chief Ma to book a new room in the guesthouse.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the stairs with his son in his arms, Fang Ying opened the door and rushed out of the room, shouting, "Liu Xiaoxuan! Are you unable to live like this or what?"
Liu Xiaoxuan then walked back with his son in his arms, "Fang Ying, you..."
As soon as he reached the door, Fang Ying rushed back into the room and slammed the door shut.
After that, no matter how Liu Xiaoxuan knocked on the door or called out, she refused to open it.
Just like that, Fang Ying was like a cat playing with a mouse. As soon as Liu Xiaoxuan left, she would rush out of the room. As soon as Liu Xiaoxuan walked towards the room, Fang Ying would rush in and close the door first...
In the end, Liu Xiaoxuan got angry and left the guesthouse with her child in her arms without looking back.
In fact, when Liu Xiaoxuan just came downstairs with the child, Fang Ying was a little panicked. She chased downstairs, grabbed Liu Xiaoxuan, and threatened him that she was going to jump off the building, crying and shouting.
But Liu Xiaoxuan didn't even bother to look at her and just left with the child.
Fang Ying was heartbroken and burst into tears while standing in the open space on the first floor.
Many guests staying in the guesthouse were so annoyed that they came to persuade them, and some even came to scold them...
Taotao seemed unaware.
She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes and had no energy to take care of her son. Little Feibai was even sleepier than his mother. He was already sleeping soundly and snoring...
Song Zhi laughed, poured some hot water, wiped his son's body, changed him into pajamas, and let him sleep.
Then he took care of... no, served Dabaitao for a few times, and finally she kicked him in hatred. He fetched some water reluctantly, washed Dabaitao clean and refreshed, put on pajamas for her, and fell asleep smoothly.
only--
Song Zhi had just fallen asleep when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Comrade Song Zhi? Comrade Song Zhi... We are the police. We need your help. Could you please open the door?"
Along with it came the faint sound of a baby crying.
Song Zhi had no choice but to get up, put on his clothes and open the door.
There were two police officers standing at the door, both looking haggard and tired. One of them was holding a pink baby in his arms. It seemed that he didn't know how to hold a baby very well, his movements were stiff and clumsy.
Song Zhi took a look and found that it was the little baby girl that Taotao rescued from the kidnapper today? !
A police officer smiled bitterly and said, "Comrade Song Zhi, I'm really sorry... Look, this child is the one your wife saved. The hospital has diagnosed the child and there is nothing serious wrong with him... There are a lot of children with colds these days, and there are no beds in the pediatric department of the hospital. The nurses really can't take care of this child. Let us take the child away..."
"But the only female police officer in our station is on a business trip again... The sisters-in-law who can take care of the child have taken their children back to their hometowns. We really... can't take care of this child. Comrade Song Zhi, your child is less than two years old. Can your wife help take care of the child for a few days?" the police asked.
Song Zhi hesitated.
Taotao is very tired, she has already fallen asleep...
And this little baby girl kept crying, and even her voice sounded hoarse.
Song Zhi declined, "But we have to go back to Satellite City at noon tomorrow, I'm afraid..."
The police felt even more embarrassed. "We just want to ask you if you can... take the child home to raise for a while, a month at most! If we still can't find the child's parents before New Year's Eve, we will have to send her to an orphanage... Song Zhi, it is definitely not as good for her to stay in an orphanage as it is for someone to take care of her."
The door of Xu Gong's room next door was pushed open.
Ding Changxiu's voice rang out, "Xiao Song, what's going on?"
Song Zhi explained it to Ding Changxiu, and then said to the two police officers, "This is Mr. Xu's wife, Sister Ding."
Ding Changxiu was attracted by the crying of a little baby girl. She took one look at the little girl clumsily held in the arms of a male police officer and immediately felt distressed. "Oh, comrade, this is not the way you hold a newborn baby! She is uncomfortable if you hold her like this... No wonder she keeps crying!"
As she spoke, she took the swaddling clothes.
That's also strange.
Ding Changxiu brought the baby girl over, coaxed her softly, and rocked her... The baby girl immediately calmed down and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The two police officers looked at each other...
Ding Changxiu stared at the pretty child, hesitated for a moment, and asked the police: "I'm just helping you take care of the child for a month, right?"
The police nodded quickly, "If we can find her parents, we will immediately take them to the satellite city to pick her up... If we can't find her, we will pick her up by the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month at the latest, and process the paperwork for her to be sent to the welfare home."
Ding Changxiu, "Then I'll help you for a while!"
The two policemen were overjoyed and bowed to Ding Changxiu, "Thank you so much!"
Ding Changxiu looked at the little baby girl and smiled, "You're welcome. This is our fate!"
And so, Ding Changxiu later returned to the satellite city with her baby girl.
It can be seen that Ding Changxiu likes children very much.
She took good care of the little girl. The little girl needed milk, but the nutrition of milk powder was not enough to support the child's growth and development. Ding Changxiu went to the canteen chef and asked him to make some rice soup for the child every day...
In just over half a month, the little baby girl was fat, white, beautiful and cute.
During this half month, the relationship between Liu Xiaoxuan and Fang Ying deteriorated sharply.
Fang Ying was still the same as before, unwilling to take care of her son. He would eat and sleep, and eat again every day... Liu Xiaoxuan simply entrusted his son to the family members to help take care of him. He would take care of the child after work every day and also take care of Fang Ying's three meals a day, but he was unwilling to talk to Fang Ying.
Originally, no one liked Mingming because he was overbearing and unreasonable.
Ever since the incident of going missing, Mingming's personality has undergone a 180-degree change!
He gets along very well with Xiao Feibai and enjoys learning it.
——When other family members gave Xiao Feibai some snacks, Xiao Feibai would only accept them after getting his mother's approval, and then he would thank others politely.
——Xiao Feibai never fights with other children for things. If other children are willing to play with his toys, he will play with them. After playing for a while, he will give the toy back and then watch it eagerly until the other child gives it to him again and lets him play with it for a while...If the other child doesn't let him play with it, he will play with something else.

After lunch, as soon as Song Zhi left, Taotao could continue sleeping and sleep until he got off work in the afternoon!
Sleeping like this doesn't stop her from going to bed at nine o'clock every night and sleeping until seven o'clock the next morning...
Fortunately, she has a good relationship with the family members, and Xiao Feibai is also well-behaved and is very much loved by the family members. Sometimes Taotao sleeps all day, and her family members can help her take care of the child...
So on this day, Taotao felt that she could not be depressed any longer, so she cheered herself up and packed her luggage, intending to go back to Lingxi before the New Year.
