Chapter 402 Helping others means helping yourself (2)
They took Cui Ying and his family back to the barber shop. Li Qiaoyun thought they were Zuo Jingyan's relatives and treated them warmly, but he didn't know how to address the old lady, so he secretly asked Zuo Jingyan:
"Jingyan, please introduce to mom, who is this old sister to you?"
"Mom, I met their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law on the train. This eldest sister's husband is also a soldier. The child was stolen by traffickers as soon as he got off the train in the provincial capital. Fortunately, Xiaobao and I rescued him. I didn't dare to let them go on their own again.
After taking the train home, I will bring them back to stay for one night."
Zuo Jingyan briefly explained the matter to her mother-in-law. When Li Qiaoyun heard that a trafficker was stealing the child, she was so frightened that she clutched her daughter-in-law's hand:
"Jingyan, don't go out again."
"Mom, I have someone to protect me, it's okay."
Zuo Jingyan was very touched. Her mother-in-law was sincerely worried about her. When she heard about the traffickers, she was too scared to let her go out.
There are plenty of rooms in the house, but there is no room for four extra people at once. Zuo Jingyan plans to take Xiaoyu to spend the night at her eldest brother and sister-in-law's house, freeing up two rooms for Cui Ying's mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and children.
Cui Ying's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very embarrassed and kept saying that they were causing trouble.
"sister in law."
When Xiaoyu heard her sister-in-law's voice, she came out of the house with her big and small pairs. She hadn't seen her sister-in-law for a few days. She was thinking so hard that she held her arms and said:
"Sister-in-law, I miss you."
Yin Yin looked at Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang timidly. Under the training of Zuo Jingyan and Xiao Yu, Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang were no longer as shy as when they first arrived. They took the initiative to entertain the little guests, took out their dolls and talked to Yin Yin.
Play together.
The daughter-in-law came back, and another guest came. Li Qiaoyun took out two pieces of meat from the snowdrift, a piece of pork belly stewed with braised pork and potatoes, and a piece of lean meat for Xiao Yu to make meatballs. Xiao Yu's cooking skills are also good now, frying, stir-frying, and cooking.
It explodes twice.
Zuo Jingyan let Cui Ying and her mother-in-law rest in her room. Cui Ying was scared to go back because the baby had lost the milk. Xiaobao kept crying. Zuo Jingyan took out half a bag of milk powder at home and gave it to the baby.
To drink.
"Sister-in-law, I will buy two bags of milk powder tomorrow. It is not easy to buy in Yichun."
Zuo Jingyan gave the remaining milk powder to Cui Ying, and also offered to buy milk powder for her. They were unfamiliar with the place and they didn't know where to buy it if they had money.
"Sister, if I hadn't met you, none of us would have survived. You are our savior."
Cui Ying pulled her daughter Gudong and knelt on the ground. Zuo Jingyan hurriedly avoided it and supported her with both hands:
"Sister, don't be like this. I also need your help. Call your husband and ask him to ask the Educated Youth Office if there is a male educated youth from Wuzhen named Zuo Tianming. Ask him which village or village he is in.
Is it the forest farm going to the countryside?"
Zuo Jingyan didn't want Mr. Cui Ying to thank her so much, so she simply asked her to do a favor.
Cui Ying was very happy to be able to help Zuo Jingyan and immediately asked Zuo Jingyan to take her to make a phone call.
Women are fragile, especially in front of the one they love.
As soon as she answered her husband's call, Cui Ying cried when she heard his voice, which made Yuan Lichun anxious.
"Xiaoying, don't cry, tell me what's wrong?"
"The little treasure was snatched away by human traffickers, wuwu, I was scared to death..."
Yuan Lichun's vision on the other end of the phone went dark and he almost couldn't pass it, and the tone of his voice changed:
"The little treasure was taken away?"
"Li Chun, don't worry, we were rescued by kind people again."
When Yuan Lichun heard his wife gasping for air, he covered his heart and said:
"Are you not in a hurry? I almost rushed over, but you should stop crying after you finish speaking. Are you okay? Are Yinyin and mother okay?"
Cui Ying said a few words in succession, and then remembered something important:
"At the beginning of spring, the person who rescued Xiaobao was also a military wife. They want to escort me back to Yichun. I will stay in Jinghai for one night first and then take the train back tomorrow. Please help me find an educated youth..."
Cui Ying handed the phone to Zuo Jingyan. She couldn't remember it and asked Zuo Jingyan to speak for herself.
"Hello, could you please help me find out where a man named Zuo Tianming goes to the countryside? He goes to Yichun from Wuzhen. His father came to Yichun to find him in August last year. Is he still in Yichun or has he left?"
Zuo Jingyan said a series of things, and Yuan Lichun wrote them down with a pen over the phone. After writing them down, he thanked Zuo Jingyan profusely.
Zuo Jingyan said politely and told Yuan Lichun:
"You're welcome. I'll buy the tickets and then give you a call. You can send a car to pick up their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The children are too young. By the way, bring some warm clothes. Their clothes are too thin and can't block the snow in Yichun."
At this time, there were no high-rise buildings in the north, and the heavy wind and snow could really freeze people to death. Cui Ying's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law obviously didn't know how cold it was in the north. She only wore a jacket and was frozen when she got out of the car.
When Zuo Jingyan came back this time, she first wanted to open a letter of introduction. The further north you go, the more necessary you are to have a letter of introduction, otherwise you won't be able to stay in the hotel.
Secondly, she knew how cold it was in Yichun. She heard that the coldest time was almost minus 40 degrees Celsius, and dripping water turned into ice. She remembered hearing people from the Northeast chatting when they were young, saying that they stood outside to pee when they were young, and they froze as soon as they peed.
The toilets in Northeast China are even more exaggerated, with an icicle rising straight into the sky!
Since she knew how cold it was over there, she had to wear a thick cotton jacket, thick cotton trousers, a military coat on top, woolen cotton boots on her feet, a hat, scarf, and cotton gloves.
Yuan Lichun expressed another burst of thanks, thankful that his wife had met a good person, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous.
Since it was a request from his savior, he immediately found someone to inquire about it without wasting a moment.
Zuo Jingyan helped others by helping herself, otherwise she would rush to Yichun without knowing where to find the Educated Youth Office, let alone go to the countryside to find her grandfather.
Zuo Jingyan called Lu Haoting again and told him that she had saved a soldier's child and that he didn't have to find anyone anymore. The child's father was from Yichun, and he promised to help find someone.
Lu Haoting had asked someone for help, but he never received a reply. When he heard that his wife had saved a soldier's child, he was proud of his wife:
"Jingyan, you are so outstanding. If you hadn't been careful enough to recognize the traffickers, the soldiers' children would have been stolen."
"I will also save children who are not soldiers."
Zuo Jingyan felt inexplicably comforted when she heard her husband's voice, and most of her previous impatience and annoyance disappeared.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, you have to pay attention to your safety."
Lu Haoting did not persuade his daughter-in-law to leave Yichun, because he knew that her father might be in danger if her grandfather's whereabouts were unknown, and she would go crazy if she was not allowed to go at this time. He could only remind her to pay attention to safety.
Zuo Jingyan was silent for a moment, really wishing that he could stay with her, but she would not say these fragile words. She kept them deep in her heart and only said words to reassure him:
"I see."
Lu Haoting couldn't come back from work tonight, so the couple said goodbye on the phone.
After making the phone call, Zuo Jingyan took Cui Ying back to the barber shop and had dinner at home in the evening. After dinner, she took Xiaoyu to her elder brother's house to stay overnight.
