Chu Jingqiu looked at the old lady's surprised expression and asked in confusion, "Auntie, aren't you Dunzi's family member?"
The old lady shook her head gently, "Of course not, we picked up this child at the door of the hotel, and he has been living in our house for almost half a year.
It was snowing lightly that day and the weather was very cold. The child sat alone at the door, shivering with cold.
We asked him where his parents were. He said he was out playing with his mother, and his mother said she had gone out to buy her some candied haws, and asked him to wait for her at the door of a big house.
However, he waited until dark, but his mother did not come to pick him up.
He followed the direction his mother had walked to look for her, but he was tired and hungry and still couldn't find her. He smelled the fragrance of food coming from the restaurant, so he walked over.
We let the child have a good meal at the restaurant, and then accompanied him to find his mother. We walked all the way to the big house that Dunzi mentioned, only to find out that it was an orphanage.
I felt that the child was abandoned by his mother, so I took him home first, and took him to the police station to report the case the next day. The police originally planned to send Dunzi back to the welfare home,
But the little guy kept grabbing my clothes and refused to let go, crying so hard that he almost died. We had no choice but to take Dunzi back.
The police station and neighborhood committee would come to check on him every few days, but after more than half a year, they still haven't helped him find his mother."
Chu Jingqiu felt that something was very strange. The child was abandoned only a few days after he saw him at the zoo.
At that time, I only saw an old man who looked to be in his 60s holding him, but I didn't see Dunzi's parents.
Chu Jingqiu felt that since she was Liu Sitian's relative, she should know Dunzi's family. Thinking of this, she looked at Dunzi.
She asked softly, "Dunzi, who was that old man holding you at the zoo that day? Why didn't your father and mother take you to the zoo?"
Dunzi's eyes widened as he excitedly said, "Isn't my mom here too? My third uncle said that's my real mom. It was my real mom who took me to the zoo."
Chu Jingqiu was very shocked. She then asked, "What about your father?"
Dunzi was still young, so he might not remember some things clearly. He shook his head slightly and replied, "My grandma said my dad went to a very far place. I don't know where he went."
After hearing what Dunzi said, Chu Jingqiu thought to himself that Liu Sitian and Huang Qingxia were both in the Foreign Languages Department. Since there were two more girls in the Foreign Languages Department, it was just right for her to share a dormitory with the four of them.
They were not together in class, but during lunchtime chats, Liu Sitian always claimed that she was unmarried, but Dunzi clearly said that Liu Sitian was his mother. This made her start to wonder if Liu Sitian had concealed her marriage history.
Chu Jingqiu felt it necessary to test Liu Sitian's attitude to see if she had abandoned Dunzi. Perhaps she had some unspeakable difficulties, but no matter what, she could not abandon her own son!
At this time, Dunzi asked in a baby voice: "Auntie, do you know where my mother is? Can you take me to find her?"
Chu Jingqiu collected his thoughts and turned his gaze to Dun. He was staring at him intently, his eyes full of hope.
She looked at Dunzi's eyes full of hope, and a pang of sadness came over her. She squatted down gently, looking at Dunzi at eye level.
She said gently, "Dunzi, auntie will try her best to help you find your mother, but we need some time.
Your mother may have some things to deal with, but she definitely loves you and she definitely wants to be back with you."
Dunzi nodded heavily, with a hint of a smile on his face, "Then Auntie, please tell my mother to pick me up quickly. I want to go home!"
Chu Jingqiu gently rubbed Dunzi's little head and said, "Okay, Dunzi, then you have to listen to grandma here. Auntie will find your mother as soon as possible."
The old lady sighed and said, "Little girl, where does his mother work? No matter how difficult it is, she can't abandon the child! What a sin!"
Chu Jingqiu hadn't figured out the truth of the matter yet, so she couldn't say much to the old lady. She smiled and said, "Auntie, I don't know much about Dunzi's specific situation.
When I get back, I'll ask Dunzi's relative and find out the truth of the matter!"
The old lady nodded and said, "Okay, okay, as long as we know Dunzi's relatives, we won't have any trouble finding his mother.
You'd better contact his family as soon as possible, otherwise when our family goes abroad, this child will really have to be sent to an orphanage."
Lin Zishan and Yuan Xingyuan had already negotiated with the middle-aged woman and agreed to bring Jiang Qingzhou to see the house in the afternoon. They decided to buy the courtyard for about 8,000 yuan.
After coming back from house-viewing, Chu Jingqiu bought a bag of sesame cakes for the children, adding some pork elbow in it. The children all loved it, so she bought some more.
When they got home, the quintuplets were playing a war game with Qi Yue's two sons in the yard. Two old men were playing chess next to them, and Grandma He and Grandma Xiao were watching the children play.
Doudou was very excited to be a hero. He was supposed to play the captain of the Eighth Route Army's armed work team and kill a group of Japanese devils alone.
When the other children were asked to play the Japanese soldiers, they pouted and were reluctant, but they did not dare to say a word.
But Xiao Kexin'er was different. She ran directly to the two old ladies to complain.
As a result, when Grandma He saw Xiao Kexin's red eyes, she glared at Doudou. Doudou was frightened by the stern look of the great-grandmother and quickly changed her mind, and had to let Xiao Kexin play the role of the female Eighth Route Army soldier.
It was agreed that as soon as they fired the gun, the other children should lie down one by one and pretend to be dead until all of them were "dead".
But Baobao, Dingding, Beibei, Tianjing and Tianze were already reluctant to play the Japanese soldiers and were very dissatisfied. As soon as Doudou fired a shot, they all lay down and pretended to be dead. They were all "killed" by one shot, and the whole game ended in an instant.
This made Mr. Xiao very amused. He held his stomach and laughed out loud. Mr. He laughed so hard that tears came out.
As soon as Chu Jingqiu entered the room, she was amused by the funny scene and burst into laughter: "Okay, stop pretending to be dead. I bought some delicious sesame cakes and pork elbows. Go wash your hands and come over to eat!"
When they heard that there was something delicious to eat, the children immediately got up from the ground and rushed into the house to wash their hands.
Chu Jingqiu smiled and gave each of the elderly people a sesame cake, telling them to eat it while it was hot.
Ding Ding, the foodie, was the first to rush out of the house. He took the pancake and took a big bite. Chu Jingqiu quickly said, "Eat slowly and don't choke. No one will take it away from you. You'll have enough for today."
Chu Jingqiu felt extremely satisfied and happy as she watched the children eating the sesame cakes with relish. She couldn't help but think of Dunzi. She really couldn't understand why Liu Sitian abandoned Dunzi.
As a mother, she empathized with the situation and would never abandon any of her children no matter what.
I must find out the truth of the matter tomorrow and give Dunzi an explanation.
