In the middle of the night, after Yang Shao fell asleep on the chair and was bitten by several mosquito packs, Pei Yan finally caught the first fish, a three-finger-wide crucian carp.

"The crucian carp is good, the crucian carp is boiled in soup to nourish the brain." Yang Shao sat up from the chair in a daze, "It's just a little less."

"Give it to you." Pei Yan threw the crucian carp into Yang Shao's fish box, put away the fishing rod, "Go back to sleep and leave."

"Send me?" Yang Shao scratched the mosquito bag on his arm, and stood up in a daze, "Brother Pei, are you really here to fish?" He was a little puzzled, what could he do with such a small fish? , Fried small fish dry?

After putting away the fishing tackle, Yang Shao got in the car and realized that, Brother Pei said that his brain is not good and he needs to make up his mind. For a time, Yang Shao's mood was very complicated.

The way Brother Pei mocked him became more and more obscure. What's even more rare is that he was able to react. Brother Pei was mocking him. This is also an improvement in IQ.

This bustling city is a city that never sleeps. For two or three days in the morning, there are also endless vehicles on the street, and pedestrians walking along the roadside. But in the bustling corner, there are low and dilapidated buildings and alleys full of rubbish.

When passing by a hotel, Yang Shao, who was sitting in the co-pilot, suddenly said: "Brother Pei, I remember that six or seven years ago, this hotel was very lively, and now it is going to be sold."

Pei Yan parked the car at the traffic light intersection and glanced casually: "I don't remember."

Yang Shao wanted to continue, but suddenly remembered that they came here to eat because his grandfather Pei passed away, and he was in a bad mood. In order to make Pei Yan happy, the brothers forcibly dragged him out of the house.

After dinner, they planned to take Brother Pei to play elsewhere, but they knew that Brother Pei didn't know where he went in a blink of an eye. They called and asked, only to know that he had returned home.

Involved in the past of Pei's death, Yang Shao didn't know what to say. He laughed dryly: "It's normal that you don't remember what happened six or seven years ago."

With more than 50 seconds left at the red light, Pei Yan lightly clasped the steering wheel with his index finger, tilted his head and glanced at the hotel on the side of the road. The decoration is still in the style of three or four years ago, and the lighting is dim. In this way, it is normal for the business to fail.

He frowned, having a vague impression of this hotel in his mind. It's not that the food in this hotel is so special, but that he remembered a small incident that happened here, and he didn't know if the skinny little girl who secretly hid under the bushes, hugged her legs and cried bitterly, had stayed in this city. .

Seeing Pei Yan's contemplative expression, Yang Shao thought he thought of Grandpa Pei, and hated himself for being cheap: "Brother Pei, the green light is coming soon."

Pei Yan glanced at him, started the car and drove through the traffic light intersection: "Uncle Yang told me a few days ago that I hope you learn to manage the company, and let me persuade you."

Yang Shao smiled bitterly: "Brother Pei, I'm not that kind of material. I'm afraid that the family business that my family has finally saved up will be ruined by me."

"But you are idle all day, and you just drive a yacht when you have nothing to do, so how can Uncle Yang be at ease?" Pei Yan said, "Even if you don't want to manage the company, you should go to the company with Uncle Yang to study every day, and even ask an agent to help you in the future. When you look at the company, you can at least figure out whether the other party has fooled you. Uncle Yang is still young and can still manage the company. Are you asking him to worry about you and the company?"

"I know what you're saying makes sense, but I..."

"You can't even pretend to make the elders happy?"

Yang Shao was completely speechless, he nodded bitterly: "You are right, my grandma's birthday is coming, I have to at least make a gesture to make her old man happy."

Pei Yan nodded with satisfaction. People who have something to do can't travel around every day and look around at beautiful women.

Maybe it was because she was a little excited that Hua Jin didn't sleep well at night. When she woke up the next morning, she yawned repeatedly, and only woke up completely by washing her face with cold water.

She patted her face in the mirror to make her face look more rosy, Hua Jin took out her toothbrush and squeezed toothpaste with satisfaction, and suddenly heard a scream from Sister Qin next door, she threw down the toothbrush and ran to the next door: "Sister Qin, you What's wrong?"

"Xiao Hai is gone." Sister Qin was wearing a nightgown that had been washed white, and her puffy face was full of anxiety, "He won't go out alone without a sound!"

Xiaohai is the nickname of Sister Qin's son. In Hua Jin's impression, this is a very honest child who will never do anything that worries Sister Qin. Suddenly disappearing now, there must be something wrong.

"Sister Qin, don't worry." While comforting Sister Qin, Hua Jin lay on the balcony and called Xiaohai's name, but there was no answer.

"Sister Qin, call the police." Hua Jin reached out and patted Sister Qin's back, "Don't worry."

"Yes, yes, call the police..." Sister Qin ran back to the house to find her mobile phone, and kept mumbling, "Where is my mobile phone, where is my mobile phone?" She found the mobile phone on the messy coffee table, shaking her hands for a long time before calling the police. .

The movement on the fourth floor caught the attention of the entire building. They lay on the balcony and looked up, "What happened upstairs?"

"Sister Qin's child Xiaohai is gone, have you seen it?" Hua Jin didn't have time to take care of her hair, so she explained the matter again, went back to the house and took a head rope to tie up all her hair, and took the phone key with her The bag closed the door and said to Sister Qin who was screaming at Xiaohai, "Don't worry, Sister Qin, Xiaohai is so sensible, maybe he just went out to buy breakfast and come back later."

The other residents downstairs also caught up and persuaded Sister Qin, who had a car at home, who had already taken the car keys and got into the car to help Sister Qin find the child. Even the old lady Chen, who had quarreled with Sister Qin two days ago, shouted and looked for it in the back of the front yard of the house. She had a loud voice and was familiar with her surroundings, and instructed a few young people to look for places with ditches around her.

"Sister Qin, do you have a picture of the child here? Send us one, so we can take the picture and ask passers-by." Hua Jin took out her mobile phone, "Look around the house again to see which outfit is missing. It's easy for us to find out what clothes Xiaohai is wearing today." Sister Qin is not well-off, so Xiaohai usually wears only a few sets of clothes, so it is easy to find.

Sister Qin, who was so anxious that she had lost her mind, heard Hua Jin say that, like a machine that was finally awakened, and began to rummage in the room. Hua Jin sees that her mental state is a little wrong, but any words of comfort at this time are useless unless the child can be found.

"Xiaohua, you still have to go to the store. I'll take a look here." The woman talking is a resident on the third floor. She and her husband work here. Their income is not bad, but they live very frugally. , most of the money was sent home. It just happened to be a holiday today, and I was going to sleep in for a while, but I didn't know I was woken up.

"It's okay, I'll wait for the police to come first." Hua Jin sighed, "It's been fine recently, how could it be..."

Recently, she didn't hear Sister Qin scolding the child very much. A few mornings ago, she also saw the child happily eating beef buns outside. When he saw her, he was going to split her up. How could he suddenly run away from home?

It was about the disappearance of the child, and the police from the police station rushed over quickly. They not only checked the scene, but also checked Sister Qin's mobile phone. The final conclusion was that the child went out on his own, rather than being controlled by external forces.

Sister Qin's mood suddenly collapsed. She sat on the sofa and cried, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances of these years.

A female policeman stayed beside to appease Sister Qin, and another older male policeman walked up to Hua Jin and others: "I want to ask a few questions."

Hua Jin and several other neighbors nodded and followed the male policeman to the balcony outside. The questions asked by the male police are very common, such as the child's usual living habits and how Sister Qin treats the child.

Especially after hearing that Hua Jin lived next to Sister Qin, the male policeman asked her a few more questions. However, Hua Jin didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't provide any useful clues.

Not long after, the male policeman received a call from the headquarters, saying that they had found a boy who was suspected of being a child during surveillance on a certain street.

That street is more than ten kilometers away from here, how did Xiaohai get there?

Among the residents in the whole building, Hua Jin and Sister Qin are relatively familiar, and Sister Qin is emotionally unstable, so she has to accompany Sister Qin to identify people.

Sitting in the police car, Sister Qin was holding her hand tightly, afraid that the child the police found was not Xiao Hai at all. In summer, the temperature is high, the car windows are open, and the wind blows Sister Qin's messy hair all over the place. She usually doesn't want to look embarrassed in front of people, but she has no mood to take care of her hair at all, even wearing clothes that have been washed white. The nightgown didn't notice.

Yang Shao sat in his dad's car and kept yawning. While the car was waiting for the traffic light, he quickly took two sips of coffee to refresh himself. Last night, was fishing with Brother Pei until midnight. His father called him up early in the morning and said he would take him to the company. What could he do, and would he not listen to his father's words?

"Huh?" He noticed a police car parked in the next driveway, and the person sitting by the window on the right looked familiar.

Isn't this an embroiderer? It's early in the morning, with no hair or makeup, what's going on in the police car?

After thinking about it left and right, he couldn't figure it out. He sent a message to Pei Yan: "Brother Pei, I saw the flower embroiderer sitting in the police car." After posting this, he remembered that Brother Pei didn't seem to like hearing him talk about flowers. The embroiderer thought about these things, opened the car window and was about to ask, but his father found out before he had time to speak.

"What are you looking at?" Yang Xueshen knew that Yang Shao had the habit of looking at beautiful women, but he never expected that he would even dare to flirt with a girl sitting in a police car. Immediately, he slapped him on the shoulder angrily, "How could Lao Tzu give birth to you."

"Dad?!" Yang Shao covered his shoulders, "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing, I'll kill you!" Yang Xueshen was furious, "Lest you go out and harm others."

"What did I do to me?" Yang Shao muttered, "No matter how bad the seed is, it's also what you sow. Can you blame me?"

"You!" Yang Xueshen took a deep breath, "I'll break your legs when I see you running around in the future."

Yang Shao shrank his feet, what did he do to him? But seeing how his dad was so angry that he was almost breathless, he didn't want to talk back, he hurriedly reached out and stroked his dad's chest: "OK, you can say anything, you're a lot of age, it's time to learn Self-cultivation and self-cultivation, don't get angry like this for a little thing, it's not worth it."

Although Yang Xueshen was angry with his son, but seeing him like this, he couldn't bear to continue to scold him: "You can cause me less trouble, and I will live a hundred years."

"Okay, I promise you and your mother will live a long life."

"Mr. Pei, are you awake?" The servant saw Pei Yan coming downstairs and brought out the prepared breakfast, "Drink milk or soy milk?"

"Milk." He picked up the newspaper on the coffee table and flipped through it twice. There was no meaningful news. He sat down at the table and said to the helper, "You can also sit down and eat. Don't be busy."

The maid brought the milk to him and said with a smile, "Mr. Pei, you forgot your phone on the sofa in the living room and didn't take it to the room."

"I know." Pei Yan is a person who doesn't rely much on mobile phones, so sometimes the mobile phone is not around and won't attract his attention.

"Then let me get it for you?" the helper said, "I heard the phone ring just now."

"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."

After taking the cell phone handed over by the helper, Pei Yan saw that it was a message from Yang Shao, and almost didn't want to open it. This is a chatterer who can't be idle and usually sends him messages, but nothing is serious.

After eating the tender omelette and eating half a cup of milk, Pei Yan just clicked on the message sent by Yang Shao.

The maid had just brought out his breakfast from the kitchen. Seeing Pei Yan hurriedly walking out, he wondered, "Mr. Pei, your breakfast is not used up yet..."

Looking at the empty door, she silently closed her mouth.

Probably something urgent.

The police car stopped at the gate of the police station. Sister Qin got out of the car and ran in a hurry. Hua Jin chased after a few steps, and stumbled under her feet. Fortunately, a policewoman next to her supported her, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.

Before entering the house, Hua Jin heard Sister Qin crying and saying, "Are you trying to kill your mother?"

Hua Jin breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the child had been found. She rubbed her knees, took out her mobile phone and called the neighbors, saying that the child had been found and told them not to worry.

Walking into the room, Xiaohai shrank his head and sat on the chair, letting Sister Qin hug him and cry. Seeing her come in, Xiao Hai's head buried even lower.

"Sister Qin, let's go back if you have anything to do, as long as the child is found." Hua Jin was afraid that she would scold the child at the police station after Sister Qin came back, so she persuaded, "Xiaohai has been frightened a lot today, let him first have a good rest."

Many adults feel that children don't know what face is called, and they don't know what dignity means, so sometimes they scold children unscrupulously in front of many people. But they don't know that the child not only has self-esteem, but also cares very much about what others think of him. This kind of behavior that shatters their self-esteem will not fade as they grow older, it will only remain in their hearts for a long time, and even affect their character.

She remembered that when she was a child, her family lost ten dollars, and her family chased them to the school to ask if she had stolen the money. At that time, she felt as if everyone around was watching her, staring at her, and even mocking her silently. That feeling is like being stripped naked, revealing the unsightly skin under the clothes.

Soothing Sister Qin and Xiaohai, Hua Jin's phone rang, and the caller ID was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, I'm Huajin, the embroiderer of Fanhua Studio."

"Mr. Sun?" Hua Jin was a little surprised after hearing who the other party was, "It's three o'clock this afternoon?"

"I'm free." I didn't expect that the straw weaving master I met at the exhibition last month actually contacted me and introduced myself to the amazing Su embroidery master, Hua Jin said happily, "It's too much trouble for you. , I'll be there on time."

After hanging up the phone, Hua Jin felt that she had been very lucky recently. Could it be the good luck fed by the koi when she was with Pei Yan last time?

"Xiaohua, thank you today." Sister Qin held Xiaohai's hand and thanked Huajin with puffy eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay." Hua Jin reached out and touched the top of Xiaohai's head, instead of asking him why he ran away from home, he smiled gently at him: "Go, I'll take you to buy something delicious."

Xiaohai bowed his head timidly, not daring to speak.

Hua Jin didn't care either, so Sister Chaoqin smiled, took Xiaohai's other hand, and walked towards the door of the police station.

"I thought you did something bad and were taken away by the police car." As soon as she reached the door, someone grabbed her arm.

Hua Jin turned her head to look at the man who grabbed her, her ears flushed, her chest constantly heaving, and her face was full of unhappiness.

"Mr. Pei?"

Why is he here?
