"Is it here?" Wei Lan stood at the Wanghu sub-bureau and asked He Hongwei nervously.
He Hongwei looked at the signboard of Wanghu Sub-bureau of Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau next to him, nodded and said, "It should be right here."
"Then let's go in and find Officer Hou?"
"It's already eight o'clock, and I don't know if Officer Hou is still here." He Hongwei said with some hesitation.
They came here in the morning and changed cars halfway, which wasted a lot of time. By the time they arrived at the Wanghu Sub-bureau, it was already evening.
But even at eight o'clock in the evening, the Wanghu sub-bureau was still brightly lit, but there were not many people in sight.
"Why don't you call and ask, just to confirm..."
He Hongwei knew what Wei Lan meant, so he checked whether the call was really made from here, so as to know whether they had been cheated.
Up to 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 for them to do such outrageous things.
But they also had a glimmer of expectation, hoping that it would be true, because Xiaoying's outrageous behavior this time brought them a glimmer of hope.
"Stop calling, let's go in and ask."
He Hongwei took a deep breath, strode in, and Wei Lan hurriedly followed.
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, is there a police officer named Hou here?"
"Officer Hou? Yes."
The young policeman gave He Hongwei an affirmative answer, which made him feel a burst of joy. It seems that he is not a liar, which means that this matter is true.
"Then is this phone number from your place?"
He Hongwei showed the previous call to the other party, and once again received an affirmative answer. He Hongwei's cheeks were flushed, and Wei Lan grabbed his arm from behind. He was so excited that he pinched He Hongwei's arm.
"Then, is Officer Hou still there?"
"Huh?" Hearing the other party's question, the young policeman finally came to his senses.
"Officer Hou has really been here today. He should be waiting for you, right? But he has gone to eat now, and he should be back soon. Let's sit by and wait."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Comrade Police."
Hearing this, the two couldn't restrain the excitement on their faces, and then sat down on the waiting chairs beside them.
But soon, He Hongwei stood up again uncontrollably, pacing back and forth, rubbing his hands uneasily.
"Tell me, what does that child look like? Will there be any problems?"
"Just talking nonsense, what's the problem?" Wei Lan immediately burst into anger when she heard this.
"I don't mean that. I mean why Xiaoying didn't want a child. Is it because the child has some physical disabilities?" He Hongwei expressed his concerns.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Xiaoying must be afraid of us scolding her, that's why she didn't dare to bring the child back." Wei Lan said with absolute certainty.
In fact, when she heard what He Hongwei said, she also began to worry in her heart. Although at their current age, it is no problem to raise a child, but a child with physical disabilities is different. After all, at their age, After more than ten years, they will be too old to move, what will happen to the children?This is a very cruel thing.
"You old bastard, you're just thinking about something, scaring yourself..."
Wei Lan kept nagging her husband, but actually she became more guilty, which made her look even more anxious.
"Didn't I say it casually?" He Hongwei felt wronged.
"Then can you not say it? It makes me upset, and I'm in a good mood..."
……
He Hongying sat aside, quietly watching the two parents quarreling, 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 made an apology and ended this "war". He Hongying was already used to it, and now he even felt a little cordial.
She knew that Song Ci had been looking for Police Officer Hou, and that Officer Hou was a policeman from the Wanghu Branch, so after Song Ci agreed to help her contact her parents, she came over from time to time to see when her parents would come.
Only then did I meet the two parents who rushed here.
"However, my mother has lost a lot of weight and is also very emaciated."
He Xiaoying reached out to touch her mother's cheek, but it was empty, and she could only withdraw her hand sadly.
In her memory, her mother had round cheeks and was a very handsome person, but now her round chin has become pointed, her eye sockets are sunken, her expression is haggard, and she seems to be a different person.
The white hair on the father's head has increased a lot, and the 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 his 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? 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, there is still time for everything, and when he gets home, let him read what her mother read before." Primary school."
"Do you still remember Teacher Dong who taught Xiaoying before? She likes our Xiaoying very much, and I don't know if she has retired."
"Ah, of course I remember, that Teacher Dong wears round glasses, she is short and has a very kind smile, but she is very capable and has been rated as an excellent teacher for several years, but it was more than 20 years ago. She should have retired, even if she doesn't retire, she probably doesn't have any teaching tasks..."
"Well, she is about the same age as us, and the child should be about the same age. I remember that once it rained, Xiaoying fell into a puddle and got her clothes wet. She even gave Xiaoying her daughter's clothes to change into. gone."
"Well, if you go to school again this time, ask someone to ask, let's go and see her."
"Well, time flies so fast, everything in the past seems to have happened yesterday, but today is different."
Following Wei Lan's words, the two fell silent again.
And He Hongying also sat between the two of them, quietly accompanying them. If she hadn't died, what a perfect family of three would be now.
At this moment, a chubby policeman walked in from the door, carrying a food bag in his hand.
Seeing him coming in, He Hongwei stood up abruptly, and asked a little excitedly, "Excuse me, is this Officer Hou?"
"It's me, and you are He Hongying's parents?" Officer Hou looked at the two and asked.
"Yes, we are her parents."
"Hello, you came here so quickly, it must have been a hard journey."
Officer Hou knew they were coming and had been waiting for them.
"It's not hard, let Police Officer Hou bother, that child..."
"Wait a minute, come into my office and talk."
Officer Hou walked into the duty room and handed the bag in his hand to the young policeman.
"I brought you something to eat."
"Wow, thank you Officer Hou."
The young policeman was not polite either, and happily accepted it.
"Those two people outside are looking for you."
"I see, you eat first, don't let it get cold."
Officer Hou gave a warning, walked out of the duty room again, and led He Hongwei and his wife to his office next to him.
After the two parties sat down, He Hongwei couldn't wait to ask again: "Officer Hou, where is the child now, is he...is he okay?"
Wei Lan also looked at Hou Licheng nervously.
"Don't worry, the child is in the Jiangzhou Welfare Institute and has a special aunt to take care of him. He is fine now."
"Then he..."
He Hongwei wanted to continue asking, but Officer Hou handed him a document.
"The child's information is here, take a look."
"Hey, well..."
He Hongwei took it, but hurriedly searched for his glasses. He has bad eyesight. Although he doesn't need to wear glasses on weekdays, he must wear them when reading documents, otherwise he can't see clearly.
But Wei Lan, who was next to him, had already snatched it away anxiously, and began to look through it.
Officer Hou’s information is very detailed, not only the date and reason the child was sent to the orphanage, but also the child’s physical examination report. In addition, there are evaluations from the orphanage’s aunt, teacher’s evaluation of him, and academic performance. Wait, it can be described as extremely detailed.
"So the child's name is Wang Xiangdong..."
He Hongwei, who put on glasses, noticed the child's name at first sight.
"This is the name He Hongying's former landlord gave him. The landlord's surname is Wang." Officer Hou explained.
"This name is not very good, can you change it?" He Hongwei murmured.
"Of course you can. After you have completed the formalities and adopted the child, you can go to the local police station with the supporting documents and change your name to whatever you want." Officer Hou said with a smile.
At this time, Wei Lan had roughly read the information, handed it to He Hongwei next to him, and said gratefully to Officer Hou: "Officer Hou, thank you for your trouble."
The reason why she said this is that from this information, it can be seen that Officer Hou put his mind to it.
"You don't need to thank me. It's not all due to me alone. There is also a Mr. Song who helped a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known the twists and turns and found you."
"Mr. Song?"
The couple looked at each other suspiciously. They didn't know Mr. Song.
"It was Mr. Song who called you before to inform you." Officer Hou said again.
After Officer Hou said this, He Hongwei suddenly realized that the officer Hou in front of him was not the same person who called them.
The man's voice was younger and thicker, and he was too excited before to notice it.
"Then Mr. Song..." Wei Lan asked with some doubts.
"He wants to see you, so he will naturally meet you. It's useless for you to ask me. Well, let's not talk about it. It's getting late now. It's not appropriate for us to go to the orphanage. I suggest you find a place to live tomorrow. I'll take you there in the morning..." Officer Hou glanced at the time and said.
"It's still tomorrow morning."
Wei Lan was a little disappointed when she heard the words, she didn't want to wait for a moment.
"It won't work unless tomorrow morning. The staff of the orphanage are off work now, and the children don't see them whenever they want. I still need to communicate with them. There are still many procedures to go through, and even if I see the children, the procedures and other things are also very difficult." It can't be done in a day or two, so you should find a place to live first..." Officer Hou said with a smile.
"That's all right, Officer Hou, we will all listen to you."
After reading the materials, He Hongwei stopped Wei Lan, who still wanted to talk.
Outside, everything was decided by He Hongwei, so Wei Lan really stopped talking.
"That's fine, let's say this first. I will wait for you at the bureau at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." Officer Hou stood up and said.
The two quickly 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?"
Just as Wei Lan was about to say no, He Hongwei interrupted her and said, "Then I will trouble Officer Hou."
"No trouble, I happen to be on my way."
So Hou Licheng led the two of them to find a hotel near the orphanage, and checked them in.
"You guys have a good rest first, and you can go to eat something nearby, I'll go back first."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you." He Hongwei said hastily.
After sending Hou Licheng outside the hotel, he turned back and walked into the elevator with Wei Lan who was waiting for him, ready to go to the room to put down his luggage.
As soon as she entered the elevator, Wei Lan couldn't help but said, "Tell me, who is this Mr. Song?"
"How do I know that?"
"Then tell me, could it be the scumbag who abandoned Xiaoying back then?" Wei Lan asked tentatively.
"Hey, if you say it like this, it's really possible. If it's an outsider, it's impossible to know so many things about Xiaoying..."
The more He Hongwei thought about it, the more he felt that what Wei Lan said made sense.
