Chapter 3 Guests

"Mom!"

With a thud, the glass shattered on the ground, and the warm water splashed onto the woman's slender, snow-white calves.

Ignoring all this, the woman strode to the door and looked around quickly, but there was no one in sight.

The man came to the woman, crouched down, and wiped the water from her legs with a handkerchief.

The woman's face was bloodless, and she muttered dreamily: "Baby, baby is calling me ......"

The man was speechless, picked up his wife, and went back to the house.

"Brother, did you hear that?"

The man didn't answer, sat down on the couch, let his wife sit on his lap, and pressed her face to his shoulder.

The woman was in her husband's arms, and for a time stared into the void with empty eyes, motionless, like a doll.

The man looked down at his wife and kissed her from time to time, waiting for her to get over the moment.

Chen Lei and Liang Liuyan returned to the living room and saw this scene, the couple looked at each other, and they didn't say anything, and they didn't say anything.

The man noticed them, and his face was calm, without a hint of embarrassment. He whispered a few words in his wife's ear. The woman seemed to listen, and her body moved slightly.

The man hugged his wife from his lap to the sofa, then stood up and nodded slightly towards Chen Lei and his wife.

Chen Lei and his wife also lowered their heads in response.

"Well, I'm sorry." The man gestured to the debris on the ground.

Chen Lei and his wife hurriedly waved their hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Liang Liuyan brought a bucket and a broom from the side of the gate to sweep up the debris. Chen Lei invited the guests to sit down and poured tea for them.

Then, Chen Lei and his wife sat on another sofa and sat opposite the guests.

"Mr. Tong, the revelation of Ling Qianjin, I have sent five to each household in the village, and they all said that they would talk about this matter with their relatives and friends, so that everyone can help pay attention to it." Chen Lei said. He was a Chinese teacher in a primary school and spoke more appropriately than the people in the village.

Mr. Tong bowed his head lightly and said sincerely, "Thank you very much." ”

Chen Lei said: "I don't know, how did Mr. and Mrs. Tong think of Luoyang Town? ”

Mr. Tong replied: "Over the years, we have mobilized manpower and material resources to release information in more than 600 cities and more than 1,000 counties across the country. Especially in remote mountainous areas, my wife and I will regularly go to the designated places to look for them. ”

"You're doing a great job." Chen Lei said, "In the past, when I was teaching in a more remote mountainous area, there was a student who was abducted and trafficked, and the child's adoptive parents bought the child from human traffickers, and they really raised him as their own flesh and blood. Later, the child returned to his biological parents, and his adoptive parents came to the school at the end of three days, begging the teacher and the principal, begging them to contact the child's parents and want to see the child, which is quite pitiful anyway. ”

"Pathetic?" Mr. Tong snorted, "A person who bases the happiness of his own family on the pain of another family, separates his flesh and blood, hurts nature and reason, and loses even the most basic moral bottom line of human beings, is no better than a human trafficker." ”

Chen Lei and his wife looked at each other, and then said, "I'm sorry. Mr. Tong, I'm not speaking for those people. I just want to say that no one is willing to hurt such a cute and beautiful little girl like Ling Qianjin, she may be living a very ordinary, ordinary life in a certain family. She'll be fine, and she'll be with you someday. ”

After saying this, Chen Lei apologized to the man slightly.

Mr. Tong lowered his head slightly and tightened his chin. He took his wife's left hand, tightly.

Liang Liuyan said softly: "Is Mrs. Tong not feeling well, why don't you go back to the room to rest?" ”

"I'm fine." Mrs. Tong shook her head slightly, glanced at the award certificate on the opposite wall, and asked, "Do you have a daughter in your family?" ”

Liang Liuyan smiled and said, "Yes." Our family is Chen Huchen. ”

Mrs. Tong said, "How old are you?" ”

Liang Liuyan said: "At the age of fifteen, I am about to graduate from junior high school. Because I was born on the Qixi Festival, my nickname is Qiqi. ”

Mrs. Tong looked around and said, "Aren't you at home?" ”

Liang Liuyan said: "She went to school in the town, and she came back just now, and before she entered the house, her cousin and cousin dragged her aunt's house to eat and drink." ”

Mrs. Tong nodded her head, groaned a little, and spoke again:

"I heard from the principal that since five years ago, the school has taken graduation photos for students who have graduated from primary school every year. The principal ran for two hours to help me find the graduation photos of the four classes, which were taken three years ago, and only your family bought them, and the rest of the negatives were not kept. I don't mean anything else, it's just that my daughter has reached the age of junior high school, so everywhere I go, I get used to collecting local elementary school graduation photos from the past three years. My mother-in-law spent money to collect more than 3,000 primary school graduation photos across the country for my sake. When we looked at it as a family, they thought that the eyes and faces would be different, but I could tell which one was my child. Can you show me? ”

"Oh, I see. Okay, wait a minute. Liang Liuyan readily agreed, stood up and walked towards the room at the end of the corridor.

After a while, Liang Liuyan came from the depths of the corridor: "Lao Chen, come over here, no, you look for the key, when did Qiqi lock the room?" ”

"Locked?" Chen Lei was dazed, turned to pat his thigh, and said with a wry smile, "I must have peeked at her diary before, and she was angry and locked it." He told the guests to wait and muttered that the child had grown up as he searched for the keys in the house.

Eventually, the keys were found, but none of them could open the door. Chen Lei and his wife are very sorry, their Chen Huchen even has the key with him.

Mr. Tong said that he understands that every child needs his or her own personal space when he grows up.

Mrs. Tong's expression could not hide her loss, she looked at her husband and whispered, "Our An'er has grown up, will we lock the door and not let us in?" ”

Mr. Tong thought for a while and whispered, "I guess it will, after all, she is the one who has a little boyfriend on the first day of kindergarten." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Tong smiled, and the gloomy look on her face dispelled a lot. Seeing that his wife was rarely smiling, Mr. Tong couldn't help but smile faintly, and straightened his wife's hair with one free hand.

Later, Liang Liuyan read out all the personal information of her daughter's elementary school classmates, what her name was, where she lived, what her parents did, what year she was born, what her personality was, and she knew everything.

As expected, none of them matched.

Mrs. Tong concluded: "You know very well. ”

Liang Liuyan pulled her hair and said with a smile: "They are all from the same village, they know the roots, and my daughter chats with me and often mentions it."

"Do you have a good relationship with your daughter?" Mrs. Tong asked.

Liang Liuyan smiled lightly, her smile was full of emotion: "How can there be a mother and daughter who are bad, she is my life." ”

It was about this sentence that pierced her heart, and Mrs. Tong's tears flowed down at once. Liang Liuyan felt that she was very beautiful, she had never seen a woman so beautiful in tears.
