Chapter 178 Mi Xiaobai and compensation(1/5)
The next day, after Zhou Jimin had breakfast, he assigned homework to the children and then went out.
At the street police station, he saw a lively scene as soon as he entered.
Five or six children were crying and fussing. Zhang Qiancheng, Director Wang, and the others were all at a loss to do anything.
It’s not like the aunts from the street office weren’t there, but even so, the children still cried a lot.
"What's going on?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at him.
Li Xiaofen and the other children, who were crying, immediately rushed towards him as if they had found the organization.
A swarm of bees hugged his thigh, looking up and crying.
Because they were too noisy, and their words were not consistent and neat, they were still crying, so Zhou Jimin didn't hear them clearly at all.
Zhang Qiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his two giant panda eyes, and said gratefully to Zhou Jimin:
"Jimin, you are here. Thank you so much. You really saved my life."
The latter looked confused, then Director Wang spoke.
"Jimin, these children only recognize you... We talked to the children last night, but except for the three who have been sent back to their homes, there are still six children who have not been found..."
"The current situation is also very simple. We have not found the corresponding location of their description of their home, and it will take time. We are planning to take them back to the orphanage, and then send them back after we find it."

"Then, they were not happy, very unhappy, and they couldn't be coaxed no matter how hard they tried."
After listening to Director Wang's words, Zhou Jimin lowered his head and looked at Li Xiaofen and the others.
As a result, these six children all looked at him expectantly with tears in their eyes.
"Uncle, we don't want to go to the orphanage. Can you take us home?"
"Then where is your home? Tell uncle and he will take you back."
Zhou Jimin pointed to the car outside and continued:
"Did you see that car? How about you tell your uncle that he will take you home in a car?"
The expected chorus of "ok" did not appear.
On the contrary, they all withdrew their gazes, their moods were low, their little faces slowly lowered, and they stared at their feet.
It seems that there is gold under your feet.
Such a scene made Zhou Jimin feel bad.
Could it be that these children have been deceiving him?
Talk about going home, maybe they don’t have a home anymore.
After looking at Director Wang, Zhang Qiancheng and others, Zhou Jimin suddenly said:
"Director Wang, Brother Zhang, help me find an empty office. I'll have a chat with these little guys and see what's going on with them."
The two nodded repeatedly, especially Zhang Qiancheng, who quickly led the team and found an empty interrogation room.
After bringing the six children into the room, Zhou Jimin politely invited Director Wang and the others out, and then closed the door.
Then, he sat down and chatted with Li Xiaofen and the others in a very gentle tone.
Of these six children, the oldest, Li Xiaofen, is only four and a half years old, and the youngest, Mi Xiaobai, is only about two years old.
Therefore, if you want to communicate with them, if you don’t have enough patience and the skills to communicate with children of this age, it will be impossible to communicate with them smoothly and get the information you want.
Zhou Jimin happens to possess the above two points.
After all, whether in his previous life or in this life, he has rich experience in raising children.
Not to mention these children who can already talk, he is quite familiar with even baby talk.
The person who was deceived by Wang and stayed in the courtyard for the longest time was Li Xiaofen, and she was also the thinnest among the six.
Through Li Xiaofen's words, Zhou Jimin probably knew that she was deceived by Wang before the Spring Festival this year.
Li Xiaofen said that when she was at home, her parents would always give delicious food to her three brothers, and she could only eat the worst.
The same goes for clothes. Her brothers have new clothes for the Chinese New Year, but she wears their old clothes.
One time years ago, guests came to the house and meat was prepared.
Then, the greedy Li Xiaofen couldn't hold back and stole a piece.
Her brother discovered it and told her mother, and then she was beaten up.
Feeling aggrieved and sad, she ran out of the house. Then she happened to be seen by Mr. Wang who was passing by, and was taken away by a piece of White Rabbit toffee.
After listening to Li Xiaofen's narration, Zhou Jimin felt very pitiful and sad.
In this era when supplies are scarce, it is not easy to live.
A piece of meat and a piece of candy actually changed the life of a four-year-old child.
If it hadn't been for meeting Zhou Jimin, Li Xiaofen's fate in this life would have been miserable.
Anyway, when she was tricked into living in a courtyard house, her life was even more miserable than at her home.
What's even worse is that Luo Xiu and the others failed to sell her several times.
According to Li Xiaofen, the buyer disliked her because she had grown too big and had already remembered her.
The most important thing is that he is very smart.
A four-year-old child who is smart and sensible can easily develop into a white-eyed wolf.
Several other children were deceived into living in the courtyard in the past month.
Mi Xiaobai was brought back a few days ago. She was the most innocent and sweet-looking, but when her grandma took her to the market to buy vegetables, her grandma quarreled with someone, and then she was taken away.
.
"Then do you remember how many people there are in your family? What are your parents' names?"
As Zhou Jimin asked questions, Mi Xiaobai couldn't answer.
According to Mi Xiaobai, she has a father, mother, grandmother, brothers and sisters, and there are many people in her family.
As for where she lives, she doesn't know.
However, when Zhou Jimin heard the voice, Mi Xiaobai didn't seem to be from the capital, but rather from the suburbs of Beijing.
"Okay, I roughly know all your information."
After chatting with them, Zhou Jimin concluded:
"You don't want to go to the orphanage. It doesn't matter. My uncle will take you back to your uncle's house today. When the police uncles and the others find your home, they will send you back home, okay?"
The communication in this era is very poor, and information inquiry is also very inconvenient.
Zhang Qiancheng and the others were very lucky to be able to successfully send back the three little guys in one night.
Therefore, the remaining six children, Li Xiaofen and the others, want to find their families as soon as possible. They only hope that God will bless them.
"Okay, thank you, uncle."
The six children nodded in unison.
They have a good impression of this uncle who gives them candies and saves them.
In children's worldview, whoever treats them well is a good person.
Coming out of the room, Zhou Jimin wrote down the information he just learned on paper, handed it to Zhang Qiancheng and said:
"Brother Zhang, this is the information and rough guess I got. The next step is up to you."
The latter nodded solemnly and said:
"No problem, I promise to complete the task successfully."
Zhou Jimin was speechless. The other party was not his subordinate, so when he spoke, it was as if he was assigning tasks to the other party.
However, he is too lazy to worry about this now. Instead, he told the other party that he would take the child back to his home.
Zhang Qiancheng breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him again and again.
Director Wang was also very happy and grateful, and also laughed and joked:
"Jimin, is your home a veritable nursery this time?"
"Haha, that's really the case."
Li Xiaofen heard their conversation and bravely asked:
"Uncle, are there any other children at home? Are they your daughters?"
"Yes!" Zhou Jimin knelt down and said to them with a smile:
"Uncle has two daughters, who are about the same age as you, and two sons, as well as the daughters of uncle's friends. You can become good friends with them when the time comes."
"Really?"
