"Is this it?" Wei Lan stood in the Wanghu Branch and asked He Hongwei beside him with some trepidation.

He Hongwei looked at the sign of the Wanghu Branch of the Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau next to him, nodded and said, "It should be right here." ”

"Then let's go straight in and find Officer Hou?"

"It's eight o'clock now, and I don't know if Officer Hou is still there." He Hongwei said with a little hesitation.

They came from the morning, took a car to change trains halfway, delayed a lot of time, and when they came to the Wanghu Branch, it was already evening.

However, even though it was already eight o'clock in the evening, the Wanghu branch was still brightly lit, but there were only a few people in sight.

"Why don't you call and ask, just check ...... too"

He Hongwei knew what Wei Lan meant, and confirmed whether the call was really made from here, so as to know if they had been deceived.

Until now, they still have a feeling of disbelief, after all, Xiaoying has always been very obedient and obedient in their minds, and it is impossible to do such an outrageous thing.

But they also had a trace of expectation, expecting that this would be true, because Xiaoying's outrageous behavior brought them a glimmer of hope.

"Don't fight, go, go in and ask."

He Hongwei took a deep breath and strode in, and Wei Lan hurriedly followed behind.

At this time, there was only one policeman on duty in the police station, He Hongwei walked over, knocked on the glass, and asked inside: "Comrade, do you have a police officer surnamed Hou here?" ”

"Officer Hou? Yes. ”

The young policeman gave He Hongwei a positive answer, which made him feel a wave of joy in his heart, it seems that he is not a liar, which means that this matter is true.

"Is this your phone number here?"

He Hongwei showed the previous call to the other party, and got a positive answer again, He Hongwei's cheeks were flushed, and Wei Lan grabbed his arm from behind, excited and unbearable, and pinched He Hongwei's arm hurt.

"Then may I ask if Officer Hou is still there?"

"Huh?" Hearing the other party's question, the young policeman reacted.

"Officer Hou has really been there today, he should be waiting for you, right? But he's gone to dinner now, and should be back soon, so sit and wait. ”

"Okay, okay, thank you, comrade policeman."

Hearing this, the two of them couldn't contain the excitement on their faces, and then sat down in the waiting chair next to them.

But soon, He Hongwei stood up uncontrollably, pacing back and forth, rubbing his hands uneasily.

"You say, 'What does that kid look like?' Could there be any problems? ”

"What can be the problem?" When Wei Lan heard this, her anger immediately came up.

"I didn't mean that, I mean why Xiaoying didn't want a child in the first place, is it because the child has some physical defects?" He Hongwei voiced his concerns.

"What nonsense? It must be that Xiaoying is afraid that we will scold her, so she doesn't dare to bring the child back. Wei Lan was extremely sure.

In fact, when she heard He Hongwei say this, she also began to worry in her heart, although at their current age, there is no problem at all in raising a child, but a child with a physical disability is different, after all, their age is here, and after more than ten years, they will be old and unable to move, what should the child do? This is a very cruel thing.

"You old thing, just think about something you don't have, and scare yourself......"

Wei Lan kept nagging her husband, but in fact, she was even more empty-hearted, making her even more anxious.

"Didn't I say it casually?" He Hongwei felt that he was wronged.

"Then can you not say? I'm upset, so I'm in a good mood......"

……

He Hongying sat on the side, quietly watching her parents arguing, the husband and wife have been like this all their lives, this is their way of getting along.

In the end, it was basically He Hongwei who apologized and ended this "war", He Hongying was used to it, and now he even feels a little kind.

She knew that Song Ci had been looking for Officer Hou, and she also knew that Officer Hou was a police officer from the Wanghu Branch, so after Song Ci promised to help her contact her parents, she came over from time to time to see when her parents could come.

Only then did I meet the two parents who came in the dust.

"However, my mother has lost a lot of weight and is a lot more emaciated."

He Xiaoying reached out to touch her mother's cheek, but she felt empty, and she could only withdraw her hand gloomily.

In her memory, her mother had round cheeks and was a very rich person, but now her round chin became pointed, her eye sockets were deep, and her expression was haggard, as if she had changed into a different person.

The gray hair on his father's head has increased a lot, and his originally straight waist has become a little rickety.

"However, the relationship between the two of them does not seem to have changed."

After He Hongwei took the initiative to admit her mistake, Wei Lan also stopped her nagging.

Instead, he said to He Hongwei: "Sit down and rest and wait slowly, you have been running for a day today, how old are you, and you don't know how to take care of your body at all." ”

He Hongwei sat down next to Wei Lan, and Wei Lan took the initiative to grab He Hongwei's hand.

He Hongwei felt her nervousness, so he said: "Officer Hou said that the child is already six years old, and he doesn't know if he has gone to school, but it doesn't matter, everything is still in time, and when he gets home, he will let him go to the primary school where her mother used to study." ”

"Do you remember Teacher Dong who taught Xiaoying before? She likes our Xiaoying anymore, and she doesn't know if she's retired. ”

"Ah, of course I remember, that Teacher Dong wears round-framed glasses, is short, and smiles very kindly, but she is very capable, and has been rated as an excellent teacher for several years, but this is more than 20 years ago, she should have retired, even if she does not retire, it is estimated that she has no teaching task......"

"Well, she is about the same age as us, and the child should be about the same age, I remember Xiaoying once fell into a puddle in the rain and got her clothes wet, and she also took her daughter's clothes to Xiaoying to change into."

"Well, if we go to school again this time and ask someone, we'll go see her."

"Well, time flies so fast, everything in the past seems to have happened yesterday, but today is no longer a thing."

With Wei Lan's words, there was silence between the two again.

And He Hongying also sat between the two, quietly accompanying the two, if she hadn't died, what a perfect family of three she would be now.

At that moment, a chubby policeman walked in from outside the door, carrying a grocery bag in his hand.

Seeing him come in, He Hongwei stood up suddenly, and asked with some excitement: "Excuse me, is it Officer Hou?" ”

"It's me, you are He Hongying's parents?" Officer Hou looked at the two and asked.

"Yes, we're her parents."

"Hello, I've come here so quickly, it's been a hard journey."

Officer Hou knew they were coming and waited for them.

"It's not hard, let Officer Hou bother, that kid ......"

"Wait a minute, come into my office."

Officer Hou walked into the duty room and handed the bag to the young policeman.

"I brought you something to eat."

"Wow, thank you, Officer Hou."

The young policeman was not polite and happily took it.

"Those two people out there are looking for you."

"I know, you eat first, don't get cold."

Officer Hou admonished, walked out of the duty room again, and led He Hongwei and his wife to his office next to him.

After the two sides sat down, He Hongwei couldn't wait to ask again: "Officer Hou, where is that kid now, ...... Is he okay? ”

Wei Lan also looked at Hou Licheng nervously.

"Don't worry, the child is in the Jiangzhou City Welfare Institute, and there is a special aunt to take care of him, and he is fine now."

"Then ...... him"

He Hongwei wanted to continue to ask, but Officer Hou handed him a copy of the information.

"The child's information is here, you can take a look."

"Hey, that's ......"

He Hongwei took it, but hurriedly rummaged through his glasses, his eyes were not good, although he didn't need to wear glasses on weekdays, but he had to bring them when he looked at the documents, otherwise he couldn't see clearly.

And Wei Lan next to him had already anxiously snatched it over and looked at it.

Officer Hou's information is very detailed, not only the date and reason why the child was sent to the welfare home, but also the child's physical examination report, in addition, there is also the evaluation of him by the aunt of the welfare home, the teacher's evaluation of him, his academic performance, etc., which can be described as extremely detailed.

"It turns out that the child's name is Wang Xiangdong......"

He Hongwei, who was wearing glasses, noticed the child's name at first sight.

"This is the name given to him by the landlord He Hongying in the past, and the landlord's surname is Wang." Officer Hou explained.

"It's not a good name, can you change it?" He Hongwei muttered.

"Of course, when you go through the formalities, adopt the child, go to the local police station with the supporting documents, and change your name as you want." Officer Hou said with a smile.

At this time, Wei Lan had already roughly read the information, handed it to He Hongwei next to him, and said to Officer Hou gratefully: "Officer Hou, thank you for bothering you." ”

The reason why she said this is that it can be seen from this information that Officer Hou has put his mind into it.

"Don't thank me, it's not all my own credit, there is also a Mr. Song who helped a lot, otherwise I wouldn't know the twists and turns, and then find you."

"Mr. Song?"

The couple looked at each other suspiciously, they didn't know any Mr. Song.

"Mr. Song also called you to inform you before." Officer Hou said again.

After Officer Hou said this, He Hongwei suddenly reacted, and Officer Hou in front of him was not the same person as the person who called them.

The man's voice was a little younger and thicker, and he was so excited that he didn't even notice it.

"Then this Mr. Song......" Wei Lan asked with some confusion.

"He wants to see you, naturally he will meet you, it's useless for you to ask me, okay, let's not talk about this for now, it's not too early now, it's not appropriate for us to go to the welfare home, I suggest you find a place to live first, and I'll take you there early tomorrow morning......" Officer Hou glanced at the time.

"It's tomorrow morning."

Wei Lan was a little disappointed when she heard this, she didn't want to wait for a moment.

"Not tomorrow morning, the staff of the welfare home are now off work, and the children are not ready to see them, I still have to communicate with them, and there are many procedures to be done, and even if you see the children, the procedures and other things can not be completed in a day or two, so you better find a place to live first......," Officer Hou said with a smile.

"Alright, Officer Hou, we'll all listen to you."

After reading the information, He Hongwei stopped Wei Lan, who still wanted to speak.

Outside, everything was in He Hongwei's hands, and Wei Lan really stopped talking.

"Okay, let's say this first, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, I'll wait for you in the bureau." Officer Hou stood up and said.

The two hurriedly got up and walked out of the office together.

Officer Hou asked again, "Do you need me to help you find a place to live?" ”

As soon as Wei Lan wanted to say no, He Hongwei interrupted her and said, "Then trouble Officer Hou." ”

"It's not troublesome, I happen to be on the way."

So Hou Licheng led the two to find a hotel near the welfare institute and checked in for the two.

"You guys have a good rest first, you can also go to the neighborhood to eat something, I'll go back first."

"Okay, I'm sorry for your trouble." He Hongwei hurriedly said.

Then sent Hou Licheng outside the hotel, and then turned around and walked into the elevator with Wei Lan, who was waiting for him, and prepared to go to the room to drop off his luggage.

As soon as she entered the elevator, Wei Lan couldn't help but speak: "You say, who is this Mr. Song?" ”

"How do I know that?"

"Then you say, could it be the scumbag who abandoned Xiaoying in the first place?" Wei Lan asked tentatively.

"Hey, it's really possible for you to say this, if you are an outsider, it is impossible to know so many things about Xiaoying......"

The more He Hongwei thought about it, the more he felt that Wei Lan was reasonable.

Song: ......
