Chapter 149 Juanjuan is missing
"Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry." Si Ning's voice was still cold and without much emotion.
"I'm glad that you and Xiaojiu are okay. When will you come back?" Mrs. Si's heart finally settled down.
A pair of slender hands were wrapped around Si Ning's waist, and the faint smell of tobacco from the man filled her nostrils, making her frown slightly.
Miao Jiu rested his chin on her shoulder and said in a cynical voice, "Mom, the mountain is blocked by heavy snow and the telephone lines have been cut. They've started repairing the road recently. We'll go back once it's open to traffic."
"Take care of yourselves. Everything is fine at home. We will wait for you to come back." When Mrs. Si heard his voice, she knew that he was fine too.
"Mom, we'll go back once the road is open. I heard Achen is well now?" Si Ning asked the question that concerned her most.
"Okay, now there is no problem with my health. I study and learn to read with Mr. Yan every day. When you come back, you may hardly recognize me." Mrs. Si said with a smile.
"I heard that he got better after finding a child bride. If I had known this, I wouldn't have had to come out to look for medicine. It would have been a waste of so much time."
Si Ning went out this time because she heard that there was a special medicine that could cure Si Jinchen's disease. However, before she arrived at the destination, she encountered heavy snow and the mountain was blocked.
I can’t go, and I can’t go back. I’ve been trapped here for a long time.
"Her name is Juanjuan. You will definitely like her when you meet her. Besides, there is more than one happy event in the family. You will understand when you come back." Old Madam Si prepared to leave a surprise for her.
"Now that you say that, I want to go back even earlier." Si Ning raised a hand and pushed away the face that was approaching.
Miao Jiu looked dissatisfied, but when he saw her cold eyes, he immediately let go of her hand, walked to the sofa beside him, sat down and lit a cigar.
"We'll wait for you to come back." Mrs. Si said with a smile.
"Okay, we'll be back as soon as possible." Si Ning hung up the phone.
Madam Si let out a long sigh. Being able to hear her daughter's voice and knowing that she was fine was the best news.
"Grandma, who's calling?" Juanjuan came back without knowing when.
Madam Si half bent over and looked at her: "It's Aunt."
"Is my aunt coming back?" Juanjuan's big eyes widened, full of anticipation.
"Yes! She will be able to come back after a few days when the road is open to traffic. Juanjuan, do you want to see her?" Old Lady Si pinched her chubby little face.
"Yes. I'm going to tell my brother." Juanjuan said as she ran towards the study with her short legs.
Si Jinchen and others were still studying the previous Type 88 rifle and had some ideas.
"Brother, brother." Juanjuan ran in like a little cannonball.
As soon as he entered the door, he hugged Si Jinchen and pressed Si Jinchen, who was sitting on the ground, under him.
Si Jinchen was afraid that she would fall, so he protected her head with his little hands.
Liu Yueya and Ma Yang were both startled. They quickly stood up, picked up Juanjuan, and helped Si Jinchen up.
"Juanjuan, what's wrong?" Si Jinchen asked after tidying up her clothes.
"Aunt is coming back!" Juanjuan said with a smile.
"Really?" Si Jinchen had a special feeling for this aunt.
"Yeah, yeah, it was my aunt who called just now. Grandma said she'll be back as soon as the road is open." Juanjuan smiled with her eyes curved.
"That's great." Si Jinchen was actually worried. If it wasn't for his own health, his aunt and uncle wouldn't go out in such a cold weather to look for a doctor and medicine.
His aunt was still stuck on the road, so it was impossible for him not to worry. Now he was very happy to hear news about her.
Juanjuan watched them still studying the Type 88 rifle. They had disassembled all the parts of the gun and placed them aside.
"Qiangqiang said you are too stupid."
"Huh?" Several children had not yet reacted to her jumping thoughts.
Si Jinchen withdrew his joy and turned to look at Juanjuan: "Are we progressing too slowly?"
"Yeah." Juanjuan nodded seriously.
She pointed her little hand at the barrel of the old barrel: "It says it's made of materials."
"Is it a problem with the materials?" Liu Yueya lowered her head and began to fall into deep thought.
"If it's a material problem, we have no way to solve it, but we can try to make improvements using cardboard first." Ma Yang suggested.
Si Jinchen nodded: "We don't understand the problem with the materials. Let's ask Teacher Chu tomorrow."
Several children nodded in unison. They said they had made improvements before but the effect was not significant. But if it was a material problem, they would be even more helpless.
However, the slide of the old slide really does not need to be used. Replacing it with better material, or increasing the thickness of the barrel should improve some problems.
Juanjuan saw that she couldn’t help here, so she got up and ran away again.
This time she ran to Siming's study by herself, kicked off her little shoes, climbed onto Siming's desk, and saw a map on it.
He grabbed a pencil lying nearby and started drawing on the map, drawing a boat here and blackening an area there.
During dinner time, Si Ming and Si Tian came back to eat for the first time, but Juanjuan disappeared, which scared the whole family.
Madam Si looked at Si Jinchen and said, "Ah Chen, didn't Juanjuan go to look for you?"
Si Jinchen now looked anxious and regretful. They were busy making the model and he didn't notice when she left.
"I..." He was so anxious that he was about to cry.
"Don't worry, this kid probably forgot where he was playing." Si Ming put his big hand on Si Jinchen's head.
The housekeeper and the family members searched the first floor but couldn't find her. They asked the doorman but he also didn't see her leave.
The soldiers in the yard didn't see her go out, so she must still be in the house.
"Let's look for her separately. The girl probably fell asleep while playing somewhere." Si Tian ordered the family to search the house.
Siming went to the second floor to look for it, and asked the housekeeper and others to look for it on the third floor, while the others went to look for it in the neighboring building, the basement, and the utility room.
When he found his study, he saw her sleeping on his desk.
The two little shoes were still lying under the chair. He didn't rush in, but went to notify his family first.
"The person was found and fell asleep." After he told his family, he returned to the study.
I saw the little guy with one side of his face pressed on the map, holding a pencil in his hand.
He gently took the pencil from her hand, picked her up gently, and saw that her little face, which was pressing on the map, was covered with ink.
Looking down again, I realized that this map was useless and smiled helplessly.
He carefully picked her up and carried her horizontally, then walked downstairs.
When Madam Si and the others saw the little girl sleeping soundly, they really wanted to spank her, but they couldn't bear to do so.
"I'll take her back to her room to sleep. You guys go eat first." Si Ming carried her to Madam Si's room.
