Chapter 218: The Old Lady Is Gone

To make this cake more meaningful.

The two started from scratch without involving the cake chef in any of the steps.

While making the cake, Jiang Muqing chatted with her grandmother.

"Grandma, how are you doing? Is there a good point? ”

The old man put the egg yolk into the milk and corn oil, and said with a smile: "Today is a kind day, let's not talk about this." ”

"Oh."

"Tell me about you and Xiao Yu Jin at school."

Jiang Muqing's low-gluten flour was weighed and sifted, then she took the egg yolk from her grandmother's hand, poured the starch into it, and stirred it.

She smiled and asked as she stirred, "Grandma, what do you want to hear, study or something else?" ”

"If you study, you won't listen."

The old man asked with some concern, "Just tell me how your relationship with him is?" Is there any progress? Is he still reserved? ”

"Well, reserved."

Jiang Muqing smiled: "But it's much better than before, and it's much more active than before." ”

"Tell grandma how he took the initiative?"

Jiang Muqing stirred in a zigzag shape with an egg whisk until there were no flour particles, and after the egg yolk paste was done, set it aside.

She said: "Yu Jin knows that I haven't slept well recently, so she will take the initiative to find an excuse to make me red date tea to drink." ”

"He also knows that jujube tea helps with sleep?"

Grandma was a little surprised, and then analyzed: "I guess, he asked the fuck, otherwise where would he know these things, but this matter can be seen that he has a heart for you." ”

"Hey...... He also sent me flowers. ”

"Sent flowers?"

Grandma smiled: "Xiao Yu Jin is so romantic? ”

"Hmm."

Jiang Muqing said happily: "Wasn't it 520 yesterday, this day is a special Valentine's Day, and then send me a flower." ”

"Heart."

"But when it comes to sending flowers, there are some setbacks in between."

Jiang Muqing explained: "In order to send me flowers, Yu Jin secretly went to the school flower bed to steal flowers during self-study at night, and was caught by the teaching director. ”

“.”

The old man smiled: "That will definitely be educated." ”

"Nope."

Jiang Muqing shook her head and said: "Our director didn't pursue it, and kindly let him go, but after the evening self-study, when he sent me flowers, we were caught by the teaching director again." ”

"How was it punished this time?"

The old man was also a little helpless and said: "Xiao Yu Jin's luck is too bad. ”

"We all thought we were going to be punished, but we didn't expect Director Zhang to let us go again."

Jiang Muqing said: "This is the first time in the world, my director is very ruthless, and none of the students caught by him have a 'good end'." ”

The old man was puzzled: "Then why, that Director Zhang would be so kind to you?" ”

"Afterwards, I thought about it, and I think it had something to do with Uncle Yu's coming to school."

Jiang Muqing analyzed from the perspective of an adult's thinking: "Because I happened to meet Uncle Yu that day, he also took the initiative to greet me and invited me to eat at home.

So I guess Director Zhang and the principal must also know about the relationship between Yu Jin and me, and Uncle Yu, so they treat the two of us a little specially. ”

Not to mention, although Jiang Muqing's guess is not entirely correct, it is not far from the truth.

After listening to this, the old man said modestly and somewhat approvingly: "What you said makes a little sense, although my son is not very good, but now he is a small cadre, and ordinary people are probably willing to give him a face." ”

“.” Jiang Muqing.

Grandma, Uncle Yu's level is not "small", and the principal has to greet him with a smile when he sees it.

When the old man was talking, he added lemon juice to the egg whites, added caster sugar in three times (salt can be put in with sugar), and then beat the egg whites with a whisk at medium speed, and handed it to Jiang Muqing.

She said: "Although Xiao Yu Jin is a little active now, but it is not enough, you still have to use the method that grandma taught you, and occasionally don't be so good to him, stimulate him." ”

"Yes, yes."

Jiang Muqing nodded and replied, "Today he took the initiative to ask me to go to dinner at night, and I directly refused." ”

"Oh? How did he react? The old man was a little curious.

"He pretended to be fine, but I still felt a little lost and unhappy about him."

The old man gave a thumbs up: "That's right, stimulate him more, he, like his father, is not very willing to take the initiative to say his feelings." ”

Jiang Muqing takes one-third of the egg white and adds it to the egg yolk paste and stirs, from 1 to 7 o'clock.

Don't draw circles, or they will defoam

She stirred and replied, "Yes, I know." ”

In the family building of the procuratorate, in addition to Yu Donglai and Li Qian, there were also two guests, namely Yu Jin's aunt Yu Yao and cousin Li Jiale.

They were all invited by Yu Donglai to celebrate Yu Jin's birthday.

As for Li Jiale's father, he couldn't come back because the company was on a business trip.

Yu Jin's uncle also didn't have time to come because he was going to Kui County to take office.

Yu Yao helped Li Qian and was busy cooking in the kitchen.

Li Jiale helped his uncle decorate the birthday party scene in the living room.

He was small, shouting a balloon in his mouth, blowing hard, and his cheeks bulging wide.

Finally, after blowing another one, Li Jiale asked, "Uncle, how many more balloons do we have to blow?" My mouth hurts. ”

"Blow up the balloons in this bag and stop blowing."

"I'm not blowing it!" Li Jiale thought that he was calling himself to eat birthday cake, but he didn't expect to blow up balloons.

He wants to strike!

Yu Donglai smiled and tempted: "Jiale, you have thought about it, your sister Muqing will come later, if she knows that these beautiful balloons at home were blown by you, she will definitely praise you." ”

"Sister Muqing is really coming?"

"Of course, your uncle and I invited her."

Yu Dong looked at the time and said, "I guess it's coming soon." ”

"Uncle, you must not lie to me! Otherwise, I won't pay attention to you again. When Li Jiale thought that Sister Mu Qing was coming, he was immediately full of enthusiasm and blew up the balloon hard.

Seeing this, Yu Donglai couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This Jiang Muqing seems to be very popular with everyone in our family, whether it is old or young.

Just when everyone was busy, Li Wei, who was far away in Kui County, came to the old lady's house and was about to visit, but found that there was no one at home.

He tried to make a phone call and the phone turned off!

Where does the old lady go?

Li Wei asked his neighbors nearby, and everyone said they hadn't seen it.

It's weird.

According to the old lady's habits, in the morning the weather is cool and the air is good, she may go out for a walk by the river, but now in the afternoon, the sun is so strong, she refuses to go outside.

Li Wei tried to make another call, but the phone was still turned off.

This made him a little worried.

Wouldn't something happen to the old lady at home alone?

Thinking of this, Li Wei immediately called the locksmith.

After the locksmith came, he saw that he was wearing a police uniform, so he didn't ask too much, and successfully helped him open the door of the old lady's house.

Li Wei rushed in first, and shouted while looking for it: "Old lady? Old lady? ”

As a result, the room was empty!

The old lady is gone!!

As a police officer, he immediately came to the property management office and asked to see the surveillance around the old lady's house in the community today.

Soon, he saw the old man in the surveillance at the gate of the community.

At half past eight o'clock, the old lady was alone, carrying a cat cage in her hand, and slowly walked out of the community.

Left at 8:30 in the morning and haven't come back yet!

This is already very abnormal.

But he couldn't call his sister and brother-in-law about this matter yet, so as not to worry the other party.

You'll have to check it yourself first, and then you'll have to figure it out.

Li Wei hurriedly ran to the gate of the community and observed the surrounding environment.

There are only two roads here, one to the river and the other to the main riverside road, and there are two surveillance cameras along the way.

One on the sidewalk and one near the bus stop not far away.

Riverside, almost excluded.

With such a big sun, there are basically no people except fishing.

Then only Binjiang Road remains.

Based on his own experience, Li Wei knew that the two cameras belonged to the Urban Management Bureau.

He immediately took a car to the urban management bureau and asked the other party to help query the two surveillances.

At first, people were reluctant, and he needed to take the formalities.

But after Li Wei made a phone call to a friend in the county public security bureau, the other party made another call to the leader here, and the matter was settled.

In the two surveillance records, Li Wei clearly saw the old lady go to the bus stop and get on the 602 bus.

It's time to get on the bus!

Li Wei could only go to the bus company and retrieve the monitoring of the bus.

Finally, the old lady was found to get off the bus at the terminal.

That's the long-distance bus station in Kui County!

What is this going to do, old lady!!

Li Wei came to the long-distance bus station non-stop, and then asked people to transfer the monitoring and check whether the old man had enough ticket records.

It turned out to be found.

The old lady bought a bus ticket from Kui County to Jianghuai City at 9 o'clock!

Now Li Wei understands!

The old lady quietly, alone with a cat, went to Jianghuai City!

Why did she go to Jianghuai City?

Today is Yu Jin's birthday!

The old lady actually went to Jianghuai City to celebrate Yu Jin's birthday!

Li Wei looked at the time, the ticket at nine o'clock in the morning, he would arrive in Jianghuai City at two o'clock in the afternoon, and now it is four o'clock!

The old lady went to Jianghuai City alone, or the first time she went, what should she do if she got lost?

That's a big deal!

Li Wei did not hesitate at all, and immediately called his sister.

Li Qian is chatting with Yu Yao, and the content is related to Jiang Muqing.

Suddenly followed the phone call of her brother Li Wei, she wiped her hands on her waist, and answered the channel: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, I'm busy." ”

"Sister, is the old lady there with you?"

Li Qian was puzzled: "Isn't Mom at home?" How can it be with me. ”

"Oh no."

Li Wei took a deep breath and said, "The old lady is gone." ”

"Brother, what do you mean?"

Li Wei explained: "I came to see the old lady today, and found that she was not at home, and I didn't find anyone after looking around, but I checked and found that she was alone with a cat, and came to Jianghuai City in a bus at nine o'clock in the morning."

I guess she wanted to celebrate Yu Jin's birthday. ”

“.” Li Qian.

Li Wei continued: "But the problem now is that it's past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the old lady hasn't arrived at you yet. ”

“!!!” Li Qian.

At this time, she also realized the importance of the problem, and she was frightened.

Yu Yao found that Li Qian's face was wrong, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”

"My brother called and said, Mom is gone!"

“!!!” Yu Yao.

She reacted for a moment, and was the first to come to the living room.

Seeing this, Yu Donglai asked with a smile, "Are you ready?" ”

"Brother, Mom is gone!"

Yu Donglai didn't react for a moment, and said suspiciously: "What do you mean, why is your mother missing?" ”

"Mom is lost!"

Li Qian also came out and said quickly: "Lao Yu, my brother called just now and said that my mother came to Jianghuai City by car at nine o'clock in the morning, but she hasn't come to our house yet." ”

"Brother, what should I do?"

Yu Yao said anxiously: "Mom has never been to us, she definitely can't find it, she is lost." ”

"Don't worry."

Yu Donglai's face became serious all of a sudden, he put down the ribbon in his hand and asked, "Did you call?" ”

"I don't know, I didn't ask."

Yu Donglai took out his mobile phone and immediately called the old man.

"Sorry, the phone you made is turned off......"

"Damn it's off."

Yu Donglai put down the phone, and then said, "You guys are at home, I'll go out to find it." ”

Now it's been almost two hours since the old lady arrived!

The longer it goes, the harder it will be to find!

"How do you find it?"

"How else can I find it, of course, I have to ask the police to help me find it!" After saying that, he hurried out.

While walking, I was talking on the phone, and I was probably looking for someone to help.

Li Qian comforted: "You don't have to worry, my brother is a person in the system after all, there are so many police officers in Jianghuai City to help find it, it should be fine, my mother will find it." ”

Yu Donglai, who went out, contacted all the networks he could use as soon as possible and began to look for people.

Just when everyone was anxiously looking for someone and waiting for the results, in a handmade cake shop, it took two hours for an old man and a young man to finally complete their work.

"Let's go, let's go home."

The old man looked at the cake he made with Jiang Muqing, and said happily: "Xiao Yu Jin must be very happy!" ”

"Yes, go home."

The two twisted the cake, got into the car, and came to the gate of Yu Jin Community after a while.

When Uncle Li saw Jiang Muqing and saw her carrying a cake, he smiled and wondered, "Who is celebrating your birthday with this cake?" ”

"Yu Jin."

Jiang Muqing said with a smile: "Please Uncle Li open the door and let us in." ”

"Who is this old man next to you?" The reason why Uncle Li didn't open the door at the first time this time was because he didn't know the old man.

Jiang Muqing doesn't need to register when she goes in and out, but the old man cannot.

Jiang Muqing introduced: "She is Yu Jin's grandmother. ”

“.” Uncle Li.

In a second, it only took a second, Uncle Li opened the door and said politely: "Welcome, welcome, please come in, please come in." ”

"Thank you." The old man said.

"You're welcome."

Jiang Muqing hugged the old man and said, "Uncle Li, then we will go in first." ”

"Yes, okay."

Uncle Li looked at the back of the departing old man and sighed with emotion.

For the first time in so many years, he saw Yu Jin's grandmother come to the community.
