[Chapter 283 Chapter 283 One Step Late]
Cheng Liyan didn't get home until after nine in the morning. When he came back, Shen Yuyao was feeding steamed egg custard to Xiaoyi who was sitting in the stroller.
Xiaoyi can recognize people now. When he sees his father coming back, he jumps up and down excitedly, shaking his legs vigorously.
Looking at his son, Cheng Liyan, who had been working hard for a day and a night, even forgot about the hard work. He clapped his hands and went to hug his son.
What he didn't expect was that as he approached, Xiaoyi's eyes passed over him and looked towards the gate.
He also pointed his finger outside and made babbling sounds with his mouth.
The look was so obvious that he was signaling Cheng Liyan to take him out.
"It's too cold outside, let's play inside." Cheng Liyan squatted beside his son and coaxed him.
Shen Yuyao moved aside to make room for her husband, and then said, "He is looking for Xiaobing and Xiaoxing."
After hearing this, Cheng Liyan fell silent.
Seeing her husband like this, Shen Yuyao put the bowl aside, went into the kitchen to get a thermos, then filled half a basin with warm water, threw in a towel and took it out to wipe Cheng Liyan's hands.
Cheng Liyan took the towel and stood up: "I'll go in and wash it."
Then he walked towards the bathroom.
Listening to the sound of water inside, Shen Yuyao quickly fed her son half a bowl of egg custard and wiped his mouth clean.
Then he took out the food from the space and started preparing it.
Cheng Liyan washed very quickly and came out in a short while.
He didn't touch the food, but told Shen Yuyao about the situation first.
When they arrived at the scrap yard yesterday, Dr. Gu and Siqin had already been taken away by the group of people.
Originally, those people had no intention of arresting Siqin, but Siqin insisted on going along.
He said that if he was not allowed to follow, then unless he was beaten to death, these people would never be able to take Dr. Gu out of the scrap station!
As soon as he said this, the other children gathered around him.
The manager of the scrap yard said that he was scared at the time, fearing that Siqin's words would anger those young people, and then those kids would be the ones to suffer!
He immediately took several employees from the station and tried to separate the two sides.
But Siqin was determined to stay by Doctor Gu's side, and in the end he was taken away by the group of people.
"I sent brother Chen Xing and children No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6 to Wang Pingyuan.
Wang Pingyuan and his family of four moved to the commune, and the house in their hometown was still empty, so they agreed that the children would live in his house first. "
At this point, Cheng Liyan added one more sentence for fear that his wife would worry: "Don't worry, I left all the money and notes with Wang Pingyuan. I will go there again in a few days to bring some things to the children."
"I'll go with you." Shen Yuyao said.
After taking a look at his son who was sitting in the pushchair, chewing a dry biscuit happily, Cheng Liyan opened his mouth but swallowed back the words of refusal.
"Didn't Xiaoliu say he was sick? Why did you send him there as well?"
"It's okay, he's just scared. The kids grew up together, and I thought it might be better if I didn't separate them. If I left Xiaoliu alone, the child would be even more scared.
There are some medicines at home, Chen Xing carried them with him when he left."
Chen Xing is already fourteen years old this year. Now that Siqin is not here, he is the oldest among this group of children.
In the future, he will replace Siqin and become the backbone of this group of children.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuyao's nose suddenly felt sore, and she felt extremely guilty.
She felt that it was all because of her that this disaster was brought to Dr. Gu and these children.
How could Cheng Liyan not understand his wife's thoughts?
He grabbed Shen Yuyao's hand and said in a deep voice: "This has nothing to do with you. I will investigate this matter and find out what is going on!"
Feng Changyuan came again during lunch, and it was obvious that he knew Cheng Liyan was back.
As soon as he entered the door, before the two of them could say a word, Chen Fei and Xiao Mei also came.
Today was the first snow of this winter. The snow was not heavy, but the wind blew the snow particles so hard that it hurt my face.
Xiao Mei was wrapped in a scarf, but her face and the area around her eyes that were exposed were red from the cold.
After several people entered the room, no one exchanged greetings and they all sat down in a circle.
Soon, Qiao An also heard the noise and rushed over.
After Qiao An entered the room, she took Xiaoyi from Shen Yuyao's hands, then pushed her and asked her to come over and talk.
She carried the child to the kitchen.
Pumpkin and millet porridge was stewing on the fire in the kitchen, and a steamer was placed on the small honeycomb coal stove next to it. Without removing the lid, Joan could smell that it must be steaming white flour buns.
After walking around the kitchen, Qiao An had an idea in mind. She carried Xiaoyi straight back to her home.
Because Bingbing and Xiuxiu are now in elementary school, they can no longer have three meals a day in the kindergarten like they did in kindergarten. They have started to go home for meals, so Qiao An also began to learn how to cook.
Although it’s not as delicious as her family’s Lao Feng’s, it’s not so delicious that it’s not inedible.
After she returned, she handed Xiaoyi to Bingbing and Xiuxiu, asked them to look after his younger brother, and went into the kitchen herself.
Joan opened a can of luncheon meat, cut it into slices and put it on a plate, then cut potatoes and stir-fried them into vinegar shredded potatoes.
Then she set aside a small portion of the kelp, cabbage and tofu stew that she had prepared earlier, and left some of the shredded potatoes and luncheon meat for the two children, and took the rest to the next door.
After serving the food and arranging it, Qiao An went to Shen Yuyao's house and took out a plate of sour cowpeas and sour radishes from the kimchi jar. After cutting them up, he made four dishes in total. Then he invited everyone to take their seats.
"Come and eat first, and talk while you eat"
Several people stood up together.
“This matter is definitely not as simple as a conflict with my sister-in-law, otherwise it would not be handled so quickly.
How could they just take someone away without saying anything and send him to the quarry before determining the nature of the crime? There must be someone behind this, maybe they are just taking advantage of the situation to add insult to injury!" Chen Fei said calmly.
But there was a hint of coldness in those slightly narrowed eyes!
Two years of ups and downs have greatly changed Chen Fei's personality.
Although he looked calm before, he was a bit erratic in nature, especially in front of acquaintances, he was still very cheerful.
But now he has obviously calmed down and speaks more steadily.
But the momentum is becoming increasingly sharp.
Only those who have actually been on the battlefield and seen blood can have such sharpness.
Like Cheng Liyan and Feng Changyuan.
Chen Fei has now been transferred to the support regiment and is specifically responsible for the military supply work of the troops.
This job involves much more contact with local government personnel than before, so he now has quite a few acquaintances in the city with whom he has a say.
As soon as Xiao Mei got to work yesterday, she found out that something had happened to Shen Yuyao.
She didn't know how to contact the couple, so she could only go to find Chen Fei first.
Chen Fei quickly found out the cause of the accident and went to the Municipal Revolutionary Committee in person.
It’s a pity that he was just like Feng Changyuan, and no matter how hard he tried, he was still a step late.
