Lin Yu and Jiang Yan were sleeping in a daze at this time. When they heard their mother's words, they woke up suddenly. They instantly rolled over from the bed, hurriedly put on their clothes and ran out.
"Mom, what did you say? Xinjie is missing?!"
Jiang Yan opened the door and asked Qin Xiulan eagerly, her face full of shock and some disbelief.
"Yes, I woke up early to make breakfast and saw Xinjie's door was ajar. I thought she had forgotten to close the door when she got up to go to the bathroom at night, so I wanted to help her close the door. But when I pushed the door and went in, I found that there was no one in the room.
"Hey, I thought she was in the bathroom, but I called out but no one answered. I searched several bathrooms but couldn't find her!"
Qin Xiulan said with a panic face.
While talking, she, Lin Yu and Jiang Yan had already walked to Xinjie's bedroom, and saw that Xinjie's room was indeed empty.
When Jiang Yan saw that there was indeed no one in the bedroom, her face paled. She hurried in, opened the closet and took a look, and found that the small schoolbag she bought for Xinjie was gone, along with several pieces of clothing.
"Jia Rong, Xinjie must have run away from home, right?!"
Jiang Yan's expression changed drastically, and she said in a panic, since there was no one at home, Xinjie had probably run away from home.
"Don't worry, even if she runs away from home, a little girl can't go far!"
Lin Yu was very calm, comforted her softly, and then turned to his mother and asked, "Mom, you just searched the bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, and utility room, right?!"
"Well, I've looked for her, and she's definitely not at home!"
Qin Xiulan nodded and said with great certainty.
"Don't worry, Sister Yan, I'll go out to look for her right now. I'll definitely be able to get her back. She won't be far away!"
Lin Yu said something to Jiang Yan, and then hurried back to the bedroom to change clothes.
"I will go with you!"
Jiang Yan said and rushed into the bedroom.
Li Suqin, Jiang Jingren and Ye Qingmei also heard the noise at this time, opened the door and walked out with their clothes on, curiously asking what happened.
After learning that Xinjie had run away from home, the expressions of the three of them suddenly changed.
"It's such a cold day, she...she goes out as a child, that's okay..."
Li Suqin opened her mouth and said anxiously.
Although she did not want Lin Yu and Jiang Yan to adopt Xinjie, she still sympathized with and loved Xinjie, a child with a hard life, in her heart. Moreover, her recent attitude was directed at Lin Yu and Jiang Yan, not Xinjie.
"It's all your fault!"
Jiang Jingren scolded Li Suqin in a deep voice, "Xinjie is so sensible, but you keep a straight face all day long, can she not tell?!"
Li Suqin pursed her lips and did not dare to refute.
"Okay dad, I don't blame mom for this!"
At this time, Lin Yu and Jiang Yan had already dressed and walked out of the room.
"I'll go with you, you go north, I'll go south, and we'll look for each other separately!"
Ye Qingmei said urgently, then went back to the house to change clothes.
Lin Yu and Jiang Yan rushed out first and drove north along the road.
It was just dawn at this time, and since it was the end of the Chinese New Year holiday, many shops had not yet opened, so there were not many people on the street, especially children, so it was not difficult for them to find them.
Lin Yu drove the car slowly, while Jiang Yan searched around with an anxious expression. He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles were slightly white, and his heart was pounding. If his heart was pure, it would be good.
I'm afraid she will feel uneasy in her life.
Lin Yu was also very anxious. Xinjie was lost in their hands. If something happens, they have an unshirkable responsibility!
At this moment, Jiang Yan suddenly patted Lin Yu's thigh hard, and said anxiously with some excitement, "Jia Rong, turn around, just now I saw a child on the path who looked very much like Xinjie!"
When Lin Yu heard this, he quickly turned around and chased him towards the road Jiang Yan had just mentioned. Sure enough, as Jiang Yan said, there was a short figure in front of the shop in front of him, kicking stones and playing around on the roadside, but when they came closer,
Later, I discovered that it was not Xinjie at all, but the child from the shop next door.
Jiang Yan's heart suddenly sank, her face was filled with disappointment, and she bit her lips tightly.
Lin Yu and Jiang Yan drove in the car and searched for an hour or two in this urban area, but could not find Xinjie. Both of them looked gloomy and anxious, especially Jiang Yan, who was so anxious that he almost cried.
She couldn't help but think that the last time they saw Xinjie, she almost froze to death. If Xinjie went out in the middle of the night this time, it was hard to say that the same situation would happen.
"Sister Yan, don't panic. I'll call Han Bing right now and ask them to help find it. They should be able to find it soon!"
Lin Yu comforted Jiang Yan and called Han Bing.
Although it was unreasonable to bother the Military Aircraft Department with such a trivial matter like finding a child, the situation was urgent and Lin Yu could only trouble Han Bing and the others.
After Han Bing learned about the situation, he did not dare to delay at all, and immediately made arrangements, asking the patrol members in the city to look for a little girl, and at the same time sent out Xinjie's photo.
The efficiency of the Military Aircraft Department was indeed extraordinary. Ten minutes after Han Bing's mission was notified, Lin Yu and Jiang Yan received the news that Xinjie had been found.
Half an hour later, Lin Yu, Jiang Yan, Ye Qingmei, Qin Xiulan and Jiang Jingren stood on the roadside downstairs, looking eagerly towards the intersection, waiting anxiously for something.
Soon, a black off-road vehicle drove over at a high speed and stopped immediately. Then Han Bing jumped out of the car, walked around and opened the door of the rear seat of the car, and hugged Xinjie who was sitting inside.
came out.
"Heart pure!"
Jiang Yan's eyes turned red instantly when she saw Xinjie, she shouted urgently and ran towards Xinjie.
Xinjie was also very excited when she saw Jiang Yan. She ran quickly into Jiang Yan's arms and rested her head on Jiang Yan's shoulder. Her tears kept falling like broken beads.
Because she couldn't speak, the only thing she could do was hug Jiang Yan tightly, with unspeakable sadness and grievance on her face.
Everyone couldn't help but feel moved and sigh when they saw this scene.
"When our people found her, the child's face was pale from the cold and she was staggering when she walked. Just like that, we told her to bring her back to see her Aunt Jiang, but she kept shaking her head!"
Han Bing said with some emotion, and felt that it was really commendable that Xinjie was so sensible at such a young age.
She just heard Lin Yu say that the reason Xinjie ran away from home was because she didn't want Jiang Yan and Li Suqin to quarrel.
"Xinjie, you are not allowed to leave casually in the future. How worried will grandma and uncles and aunts be when you are like this!"
Qin Xiulan also squatted down, gently warned Xinjie, and couldn't help but sigh.
When Li Suqin saw this, she couldn't help but have a look of guilt on her face. She felt a little guilty in her heart. She knew that Xinjie ran away mainly because of her. She thought to herself that fortunately Xinjie was fine this time. If something happened, she would be fine for the rest of her life.
You will have trouble sleeping and eating!
"If you ask me, if it doesn't work out, let Xinjie live here first. Anyway, I just want to be my goddaughter!"
Jiang Jingren sighed softly and whispered to his wife.
Li Suqin shook hands, hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly and said to her daughter, "Since you want to adopt her so much, then just do what you want, I won't interfere!"
When Jiang Yan heard her mother's words, she immediately looked overjoyed. She hurriedly separated from Xinjie, wiped the tears from her face vigorously, and said to Xinjie extremely excitedly, "Xinjie, hurry up, thank you grandma! Grandma promised to let you stay.
Down!"
Hearing this, Xinjie grinned happily and bowed to Li Suqin very sensibly.
Li Suqin's heart softened and she said softly, "Let's go, it's cold outside, go home, grandma will make you your favorite pickled vegetable noodles!"
Jiang Yan quickly stood up and was about to lead Xinjie home, but suddenly remembered something, stopped hurriedly, turned around, looked at Han Bing, and said to Xinjie, "Xinjie, hurry up, don't forget to thank you Aunt Han!"
Xinjie quickly turned around and bowed to Han Bing, then turned around and followed Jiang Yan into the community. But at this time, the innocence on her face was wiped away, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, with a trace of
The meaning of success.
Because she is short, it is impossible for anyone to see her smile.
But coincidentally, Lin Yu, who was saying goodbye to Han Bing at this time, happened to see Xinjie's side face in the rearview mirror on one side of the car because of the angle he was standing at, and caught the smile at the corner of her mouth.
