Chapter 20

Because the little boy refused to let go, Song Shishi could only wait with him at the police station for his parents to come.

But thinking that Uncle Zhang was still waiting for her, she had to ask the police to tell him to go back first and deliver the fertilizer to Xu Li’s house.

Perhaps it was more comforting to be nestled in Song Shishi’s arms, the little boy ate something and fell asleep in her arms.

It wasn’t until around two or three in the afternoon that a stylishly dressed woman walked into the police station.

As soon as she came in, she asked, “Police officer, where is my son?”

Someone in the police station seemed to know her, and after a few words, they led her to the infirmary.

The woman saw the child sleeping soundly in Song Shishi’s arms, her tears welled up, she squatted down, and choked out in a low voice, “Xiao Bao, Mommy is here, don’t be afraid, Mommy is here.”

The little boy slowly opened his eyes, and the moment he saw the woman, he turned and threw himself into her arms, crying, “Mommy, Mommy…”

“Mommy is here, Mommy is here, Xiao Bao.” The woman hugged the little boy, patted his back, and comforted him softly.

Song Shishi rubbed her arms, which were a little numb from holding the little boy for a long time, stood up, and prepared to leave.

But as soon as she took a step, the woman grabbed her.

“Comrade, thank you so much for what happened today. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know where my son would have been taken by the kidnappers.”

“It’s nothing, it’s just a small favor, I believe anyone else would have done the same.” Song Shishi waved her hands repeatedly, a little embarrassed.

“This may be a trivial matter for you, but for our family, it’s a life-saving grace.” The woman hugged the little boy, stood up and continued to say to Song Shishi, “So, you come home with me today, I must treat you well.”

It was hard to refuse such a warm invitation, and Song Shishi was really embarrassed to refuse again.

In the end, she could only leave with the woman.

After getting into their car, Song Shishi learned that the little boy’s father was the factory manager of a clothing factory in Xiangyang County.

The woman’s name was Su Yaqin, and she had brought her son Li Haoyang to Qinghe Town to visit relatives today. Unexpectedly, while she was just buying something, Li Haoyang was taken away by the kidnappers.

Sometimes, fate is really unpredictable.

Li Haoyang liked Song Shishi very much. After leaving the police station, he kept holding Song Shishi’s hand, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

Looking at his nervous little face, Song Shishi found it very cute, “Haoyang, since I promised your mother to visit your house, I won’t leave halfway.”

As she spoke, she raised her hand that Li Haoyang was holding tightly, signaling him to loosen his grip.

But Li Haoyang shook his head, “No, I have to watch you.”

Su Yaqin patted his head, “It’s rare to see my son so nervous around anyone. I thought maybe we have a connection, I liked you the first time I saw you.”

Then, she looked at Li Haoyang again and continued with a smile, “I think you’re only about fifteen or sixteen years old, I’m a little older than you, why don’t we become sworn sisters, and help each other out in the future, what do you think?”

“That… wouldn’t be right?”

Su Yaqin was a fiery personality, she said what she thought, and the more she spoke, the more excited she became.

Song Shishi wasn’t unwilling, but she felt that they weren’t familiar enough yet, and it would be inappropriate to do this rashly.

But Su Yaqin didn’t care at all, she waved her hand and said, “What’s wrong with that, don’t worry, my husband is the factory manager, but at home, I’m the one who makes the decisions, he won’t say anything.”

“You saved my son, and both Xiao Bao and I like you so much, I’ve decided, we’re sisters.”

“Right, I haven’t had a chance to ask you, where are you from?”

Su Yaqin was so enthusiastic that Song Shishi smiled awkwardly and replied, “I’m from Beijing.”

“Beijing? Then how come you’re in Qinghe Town?”

“I’m a young intellectual from the Huaiqing Brigade, I came to town to buy things today, and I ran into those kidnappers on the way.”

“A young intellectual, that’s tough. But it’s okay, with me around, you won’t be hungry in the future.”

Song Shishi liked Su Yaqin’s personality.

She said what she thought, she was very straightforward.

“Then I’ll call you Sister Qin from now on, you can just call me Shishi.”

“Okay.”

“…”

All the way, Su Yaqin chatted with her a lot.

The car drove directly to Xiangyang County, and it was only about an hour’s drive.

Su Yaqin’s home was a single-family house with a courtyard.

The courtyard wall was made of gray bricks, and the wall was not high.

Pushing open the wooden courtyard door, the inside was very clean, there were many flowers and plants planted on both sides of the bluestone path, and there was a swing under the big tree in the courtyard.

Facing the courtyard door was the house, the gray tiles shimmered with an ancient luster in the sunlight.

Entering the house, looking at the exquisitely carved solid wood sofa in the living room, and the solid wood coffee table with marble inlays,

Just looking at the home’s decoration style and furniture, it was enough to see that Su Yaqin’s family was truly wealthy.

“Shishi, sit down first, the maid is already making dinner, I’ll call your dad and tell him to come back early.”

As she spoke, Song Shishi saw Su Yaqin run towards the desk phone beside the sofa.

Li Haoyang looked at Su Yaqin, then pulled Song Shishi towards a room next to it.

“Haoyang, where are you taking me?”

“Xiao Bao’s room, there are good things.”

After chatting with Su Yaqin all the way, Song Shishi learned that Su Yaqin and her husband usually called Li Haoyang “Xiao Bao.”

So when she saw Li Haoyang, she subconsciously called him “Xiao Bao,” which immediately made this insecure little guy feel like he had found a relative.

And since Su Yaqin came, Li Haoyang had spoken a lot more.

He always liked to call himself Xiao Bao when he spoke, and his voice was soft and sweet, very cute.

Li Haoyang entered the room and let go of Song Shishi’s hand.

Song Shishi looked around the room, and it seemed to be Li Haoyang’s room.

There were several metal toy cars on the floor of the room.

It was enough to see how much Su Yaqin and her husband loved Li Haoyang.

Song Shishi came back to her senses, and Li Haoyang was already standing in front of her again.

“This is for you.”

Li Haoyang opened his palm, a very beautiful silver pen.

It looked expensive.

Song Shishi waved her hand, “Haoyang, I know you want to thank me, but this pen is too expensive, I can’t accept it.”

Li Haoyang seemed to not understand, and frowned.

Afraid of hurting his self-esteem, Song Shishi softened her tone and continued, “If you really want to thank me, how about next time we meet, you give me a gift that you made yourself?”

Li Haoyang nodded happily, “Okay.”

“Shishi, Xiao Bao, come out and have something to eat.”

Su Yaqin’s voice came from the living room.
