Chapter 202 Disappointment, Regret and Helplessness
"Lao Zhou, is the baby here?"
Grandma Zhou walked into Xiao's Teahouse in a hurry and immediately saw Mr. Zhou surrounded by people.
I also quickly understood that Mr. Zhou had found nothing here.
Grandma Zhou walked to Mr. Zhou with almost weak steps, "No, no?"
Mr. Zhou supported his wife, stared at his expectant eyes, and shook his head with great difficulty.
"Where did this child go?"
"Baby, grandma is worried about you."
Grandma Zhou murmured to herself, and then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Mr. Zhou, "You said, the baby will not be in danger, right?"
"Could he have been kidnapped?"
"he……"
"Yingzi, calm down."
Grandma Zhou’s maiden name is Wang Guiying.
Mr. Zhou squeezed his wife's shoulder hard.
Grandma Zhou seemed not to feel the strength on her shoulders at all, and looked a little dazed.
"Tell me, are we in conflict with this child?"
"It was the same last time, and it's the same this time. This child always gets into trouble under our noses."
…
"What are you talking about!"
Mr. Zhou retorted conditionally, but his voice became smaller and smaller.
Who says it’s not?
This child encountered a catastrophic disaster half a year ago, and now he is missing.
If they were really abducted by bad guys, how could these two old guys live with themselves and how could they feel at ease?
Obviously after what happened last time, they were careful at all times, fearing that the baby would bump into each other again.
However, the current situation makes their previous caution look like a big joke.
The baby was lost under their strict care.
…
Thinking of the baby who was covered in burns last time, Mr. Zhou trembled all over. This time, he didn’t know what the baby would suffer.
Will the current baby cry and cry out in pain?
Just thinking about it made his heart almost break.
Baby, their baby, where are you?
…
"Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Wang, don't think too much about it."
Xiao Xiao brought another cup of tea to Grandma Zhou.
Tea can calm the mind and focus.
However, now Grandma Zhou can hardly even hold the teacup.
"That's right, what are you thinking about? Lao Zhou, Yingzi, this is not like you."
"Now is not the time for you two to give up on yourselves. The baby is still waiting for you."
"How long has it been since the baby disappeared? The baby will come back safely."
…
When everyone saw the state of Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, they became a little anxious.
If the grandson was not found, the old couple also fell.
They understood that the only thing that could cheer up the old couple at this time was their grandson.
So if I don’t say anything else, let’s just say that the baby is still waiting for his grandparents to pick him up.
Sure enough, Mr. Zhou and his wife immediately regained some of their energy after hearing this.
It's too early to say anything now, and it's not yet time for them to give up.
They have to work hard for their babies.
The baby must be waiting for them somewhere.
…
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou cheered up and their legs and feet became stronger.
Since there is no news about the baby in Xiao's Teahouse, they have to look elsewhere.
There is always some use for these old bones.
…
"Dad, Mom."
A middle-aged woman wearing a suit walked in and was obviously relieved when she saw Mr. and Mrs. Zhou.
"Dad, Mom, don't run around."
"As soon as we turned around, you and I disappeared, which made us very anxious."
There was residual burnt color between the woman's eyebrows, and she said helplessly to Mr. Zhou and his wife.
"We're looking for a baby."
Mr. Zhou said stubbornly, and Grandma Zhou stood quietly beside Mr. Zhou, silently expressing her support.
The woman seemed even more helpless.
"Mom, Dad, the baby is lost. We are all very worried."
"My little sister is already a little broken."
The middle-aged woman paused and continued: "The police are doing their best to find the baby, and we are also doing our best to cooperate with the police's actions."
"So, don't worry us anymore, okay?"
The middle-aged woman is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Zhou.
The Zhou family has one son and two daughters.
Except the eldest is a son, the second and youngest are all daughters.
In particular, the youngest is the old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Zhou. She has been favored by her since she was a child, and even the son-in-laws she recruits are always here.
…
The middle-aged woman's words sounded a bit rude at first, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
After all, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were also worried about their grandson and wanted to make up for their mistakes.
Even if you are doing useless work, it is better than doing nothing and suffering inner suffering.
But if you taste it carefully, the anniversary woman's words are very reasonable.
Now because of the baby's disappearance, the entire Zhou family is in a state of "war and chaos".
The younger sister couldn't help but she and her elder brother were in a panic. After all, they were racing against time. Every minute every night would reduce the chance of finding the baby safely.
They really couldn't spare any thought to take extra care of Mr. and Mrs. Zhou.
But we can't leave them alone.
So the best thing to do is for Mr. and Mrs. Zhou to stay at home quietly and wait for news from them.
…
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were scratching their heads. Even though they understood what their daughter said was reasonable, they could not persuade themselves to go back like this.
Do you really do nothing but wait anxiously at home for news?
"Dad, Mom."
The middle-aged woman shouted again, with a hint of pleading in her tone.
There was a bit of fatigue between his brows and eyes.
As soon as she received the call from her parents, she immediately asked for leave and rushed back. After she was shocked to hear that her baby was missing, the sense of urgency of racing against time has been pressing on her, following her like a shadow.
She seemed to hear the clock ticking in her ears.
The constant tension in her heart made her unable to hide her fatigue.
At this time, her parents came to "add to the chaos" again, which really made her a little exhausted both mentally and physically.
…
"Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Wang, maybe the baby will come home?"
"There will be no one at home by then. Doesn't it mean we missed the baby?"
Xiao Xiao said softly to Mr. and Mrs. Zhou.
The condition of Mr. and Mrs. Zhou is not suitable for searching outside anymore.
In a short period of time, their spirits have endured enough suffering.
…
Mr. Zhou and his wife were silent for a while, and finally Mr. Zhou said with difficulty, "Okay, let's go back."
"I believe the baby will come home."
Xiao Xiao looked into Mr. and Mrs. Zhou's eyes and said seriously.
".…..Um."
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou finally showed a faint smile.
"The baby will come back."
I don't know whether it was to confirm Xiao Xiao's words or to convince himself, Mr. Zhou murmured something.
…
"Dad, Mom, let's go back. You also need to have a good rest."
"Let us brothers and sisters take care of the baby."
The middle-aged woman stepped forward to support Grandma Zhou, smiled gratefully at Xiao Xiao, and then helped Grandma Zhou and Mr. Zhou leave Xiao's Tea House.
…
It wasn't until Mr. and Mrs. Zhou got into their daughter's car and the car disappeared from everyone's sight for a long time that the silent teahouse gradually became noisy.
