Chapter 46 Rescuing Mantou (Part 1)
That night, Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu waited until very late, but Feng Yuan and the others did not come back.
No news is good news, there will definitely be no steamed buns.
Although Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu, who were lying on the bed, thought so, they couldn't sleep. They were careless this time, otherwise Mantou would not have been taken away so easily.
Now that I think about it, there must have been people from the other side on the road at that time. Normally, there wouldn't be so many people on this road at that time.
It was because there were so many people around that Xiao Qinyun kept his distance from Qiao Qinglu, Feng Yuan and others. If they had been more sensitive at that time, perhaps everything would have been different.
Qiao Qinglu shook her head, not wanting to think too much, as her feelings had already been revealed.
Besides, even if the three of them were together at that time, the other side had more people and they had three children. Who can say for sure how the situation would turn out? It might be even worse.
It was meaningless to think about these things now. After all, the incident had already happened, and it was a wake-up call for them. They must not let their guard down at any time. Xiao Qinyun was already on their list.
Qiao Qinglu raised her eyes and saw Xiao Qinyun with a frown on his face. She asked softly, "What's wrong, Lao Xiao? Is your left leg hurting again?"
Xiao Qinyun's eyes were slightly red. He looked up at Qiao Qinglu and said, "I'm sorry, Qinglu. I actually let them snatch the steamed buns from me. I'm so useless. I'm sorry for you, sorry for the child, sorry for this family, I..."
Qiao Qinglu's eyes were also a little moist. She shook her head and covered Xiao Qinyun's mouth and said, "No, don't blame yourself. This is not your fault. The other party came prepared. In that situation, no one dared to say that they could do better than you. You are already scarred. If you really want to blame someone, blame those bad guys. They are like stinking rats in the gutter. After we clean up one batch, another batch comes. We just let our guard down."
Xiao Qinyun lowered his head and pounded his left leg fiercely, whispering, "I hate myself so much. Why didn't you take me away? Why did you take my child away?"
Qiao Qinglu tightly grasped his hand, "Silly boy, stop hitting it. If you break your leg, how will you take Mantou and the others out to play? How will you lift them up on your shoulders and fly them like airplanes?"
Xiao Qinyun looked at Qiao Qinglu fragilely, "Qinglu, can we get the steamed bun back?"
Qiao Qinglu stroked the man's head, knowing that he was upset. "Don't worry, we will find him. Maybe we will be reunited soon. No news is good news."
To ease Xiao Qinyun's depression, Qiao Qinglu brought up another incident. "Come to think of it, the book mentioned that when the children were two years old, Li Hongzhi kidnapped Qiao Qinglu. I don't know if this is related to today's incident, but around this time, Li Hongzhi had been released from the farm. Two years have passed, and given his hatred for our family, I think he might have been planning something. We need to prepare early. We must investigate his and Li Yuanyuan's recent activities. They are both ruthless and vicious people, and we must not let them go."
Xiao Qinyun perked up. "Li Hongzhi and Li Yuanyuan are indeed serious hidden dangers. After Mantou comes back, I'll ask Feng Yuan to check on them. After Mantou comes back, we'll also ask Master Wang to raise the courtyard wall by one meter and remove a circle of broken nails and shards of glass."
Qiao Qinglu understood Xiao Qinyun and knew that he felt unsafe everywhere. She sighed softly, "Okay, I think we should also hire a master for the children to teach them some martial arts. I don't need to ask them to become masters, but at least they can protect themselves."
Xiao Qinyun thought for a moment and said, "Well, when Mantou comes back, we'll go and ask the master to come."
Qiao Qinglu put her hand on his cheek and said, "Alright, stop thinking about it. You're still a patient. Go to sleep. You still have a lot of things to deal with tomorrow."
That night, the two of them snuggled up to each other and encouraged each other, believing that they would definitely find the steamed buns.
It was dawn, and Tangyuan was the first to get up today. She stretched herself and patted her parents beside her with a smile, "Daddy and Mommy, get up and give me a hug. Shame on you."
Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu opened their eyes and looked at each other helplessly.
I slept too late last night and woke up earlier than Tangyuan today, so she laughed at me.
After Qiao Qinglu dressed herself and Tangyuan, she asked Aunt Qiu to take Tangyuan to wash up. She turned back to the house to help Xiao Qinyun put on his clothes, and then went out to find Zhou Xiaohai for help to help Xiao Qinyun into the wheelchair.
After everyone washed up and had breakfast, Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu took Tangyuan and Doubao into the bedroom and asked them how the steamed buns were doing.
Tang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Drink the porridge with steamed buns and eat the fried dough sticks."
Doubao said: "Little sister too."
Qiao Qinglu asked: "Is it the little sister who bumped into Dad yesterday?"
Tangyuan and Doubao answered in unison: "Yes."
