Back to 1993

Torrential rain.

Gu Zhengdong was in a cold sweat, how could Xiao Xiao run out in this weather?

If she didn't go out, there was only one possibility, she was trapped somewhere, or was mistakenly rolled into the waste and taken away.

There is no delivery to Dagang today, so the range still has to be locked near home.

Gu Zhengdong didn't care about the heavy rain, he ran to the yard and carefully looked at the pile of waste that was piled up like a hill, while the three children and Grandma Bai searched for every possible hiding place inside and outside the house.

still none.

"What should I do? How could the child be lost? How could the good one be lost?" Grandma Bai rubbed her hands anxiously, trying to recall the situation just now, "I took Xiao Xiao there, she sat on the bed to play, and I sat on the bench Go pick vegetables..."

"It's impossible to disappear a person out of thin air, look for it!" Gu Zhengdong broke into the rain again, this time he walked down the alley, could it be that Xiao Xiao ran out by himself?

While that's unlikely, it's not entirely impossible.

He walked all the way, calling the little name all the way.

The heavy rain poured down from the top of his head and poured straight into his mouth.The sound of rain and thunder drowned out his voice.

But after a few people searched in a big circle, Xiao Xiao still disappeared.

"Father, will Xiaoxiao go to relocate the community?" Longlong reminded.

Gu Zhengdong's mind is already in a mess, and now he is a dead horse as a living horse doctor, what if?

"Son, take an umbrella!"

Grandma Bai dug out an old umbrella, anxious and guilty, and on the verge of collapse.

Gu Zhengdong held up his umbrella and ran out the door, when a burst of torrential rain hit his face, he lifted up the broken umbrella.He couldn't manage a lot, he just ran to the resettlement area.

The first thing he knocked on was the door of the house that pulled the goods today. Hearing that the child was lost, the family was also in a hurry.

"I didn't see it! Why did you lose the child?"

Gu Zhengdong didn't have time to explain, so he immediately asked the next one.

After he questioned three or four families without success, he saw people coming out from every house, some wearing raincoats, some holding umbrellas, and they all called their little names and joined the ranks of looking for their children.

Although Gu Zhengdong's whole body was shaking, his upper teeth were knocked down from the cold, but there was warmth in his heart.

Time passed quickly, and it has been several hours since Xiaoxiao was found missing.

The heavy rain has been falling, and water has accumulated in many places. Adults wading through the water are waist-deep. For small people like Xiaoxiao, it is very dangerous to stay outside.

"Go to the police station and report the case first." Someone suggested.

It's not that Gu Zhengdong has never thought about it, but he has to report missing persons for 24 hours, and it's useless for him to go, so he is still struggling.

At this time, a women's bicycle stopped in front of him, and the person who jumped out of the bicycle was wearing a big green raincoat, which was tightly packed.

She picked up the hat, and Gu Zhengdong recognized that it was Huo Xiaojiao.

"What are you doing? There are traumas on your body, and you are still in the rain? Don't die!" Huo Xiaojiao recognized Gu Zhengdong, and immediately scolded.

"My daughter is gone!" For some reason, when he saw Huo Xiaojiao, Gu Zhengdong suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, and the emotions he had been trying to suppress were about to burst out.

"Report the crime first, no matter the time is up or not!" Huo Xiaojiao was very calm, she stepped on the bicycle and motioned for Gu Zhengdong to sit on it.

Gu Zhengdong hesitated, and sat on the back seat. His legs were too long, so he tried to curl up so as not to affect the operation of the bicycle.

In the wind and rain, Huo Xiaojiao pedaled her bicycle vigorously. She took Gu Zhengdong to the nearest police station.

Although the time was not up, the comrades at the police station still attached great importance to it and registered Gu Zhengdong.

"The weather is dangerous like this, so let's look for it first." The comrades at the police station couldn't sit still anymore, looking for raincoats one after another.

Gu Zhengdong thanked him again and again, but he couldn't wait here, so he turned and walked out.

"Stop!" Huo Xiaojiao called to stop him.

She took off her raincoat and handed it to Gu Zhengdong.

"You put it on, you really don't want to die."

"What should you do?" Gu Zhengdong hesitated and didn't take it.

"I called. When my father comes to pick me up, take the raincoat and go find your daughter." Huo Xiaojiao said, blushing for some reason.

Gu Zhengdong was not in the mood to explore these things, so he put on his raincoat and ran out again.

At this time, comrades from the police station suddenly called him to stop.

"Your daughter has been found!"

"Where?"

Gu Zhengdong's hairs stood on end, and he couldn't speak easily when he was excited.

"I just called several nearby police stations to ask them to pay more attention. As a result, one of the police stations happened to pick up a little girl whose characteristics were similar to what you described. I will drive you there."

When Gu Zhengdong and Huo Xiaojiao rushed over, the female internal staff of the police station was holding Xiaoxiao in her arms. Seeing that Xiaoxiao was safe and sound, Gu Zhengdong burst into tears.

"You child! What are you running around! You scared Dad to death!"

Xiaoxiao shrunk into Neiqin's arms, her eyes were blank, as if she was frightened, and when she heard Gu Zhengdong's voice, she slowly turned to him.

"Xiao Xiao, are you alright?" Gu Zhengdong felt a little flustered when he noticed something strange about his daughter, and shook his little shoulders, trying to arouse her attention.

"Father." The small eyes finally focused on him, looked again seriously, and recognized that it was Dad, suddenly rushed over, hugged his neck tightly, and cried out, "Dad! I see It's mommy!"

Gu Zhengdong's heart was stabbed like a knife, and his heart was broken.All the words of reproach can't be uttered, as long as the child is found, it's good to be safe.

He picked up Xiao Xiaogang and wanted to say something to the comrades at the police station, but suddenly he felt nauseated, and then the world was spinning. When he fell down, he used the remaining thoughts to control his body, turning Xiao Xiao up, so as not to hurt Xiao Xiao.

Gu Zhengdong's spirit could no longer hold on, and his whole body collapsed.

When he opened his eyes, his eyes were white and his eyes dazzled.

"It's okay, you've had a high fever for two days." The person who spoke was Huo Xiaojiao, her eye circles were dark, it seemed that she hadn't been idle these two days.

"How is it possible? I lay in bed for two days!" Gu Zhengdong's head felt dizzy when he heard it. How many things have gone wrong in these two days?

He lifted the quilt and sat up, wanting to get out of the car, but he felt the golden stars dancing in front of him, his feet were soft, and he almost fell down. Fortunately, Huo Xiaojiao was close and supported him.

"Don't make trouble, it's good if you don't have pneumonia, take a good rest for two days." Huo Xiaojiao said angrily.

"Hehe, I'm not qualified to lie down." Gu Zhengdong sat down and calmed down, and then asked, "Xiao Xiao, are you okay?"

"Xiao Xiao is much better than you. At home, Aunt Bai is taking her with her." Huo Xiaojiao had already figured out the situation of Gu Zhengdong's house, which was beyond his expectation.

A girl like Huo Xiaojiao was someone that Gu Zhengdong could not afford at the time. Her family background was very good, her father was the chief physician of the hospital, and her mother was a university professor. She went to medical school and worked in the B-ultrasound department. Coat, easy and clean work, many people envy.

For a waste collector like Gu Zhengdong, there is a gap between the two.

Gu Zhengdong didn't have any expectations for her, but she didn't seem to think so.
