“Then do you know how to write? Practice calligraphy?”
“I can write, and I can also count.”
Xiao Bao chimed in from the side, “I can too.” Then he immediately demonstrated it.
“1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20”
What comes after that?
“Xiao Bao, how come you only know how to count to twenty…”
Yun Xiaoxiao saw that the two brothers really had no intention of going out to play, so if that was the case, she decided to have them stay home and study.
“Da Bao, Mom is entrusting you with a task.”
Da Bao looked at Yun Xiaoxiao with big, shining eyes, his expression saying, “Mom, give me any task, I promise I can do it.”
Yun Xiaoxiao, seeing his serious little face, gave him a solemn task, “Teach your little brother to count from one to fifty, can you?”
Having arranged a task for the two little ones, Yun Xiaoxiao then went back to her room to continue working on the test papers, having not yet gone through all the subjects even now.
They made do with leftover food for dinner.
Heated up water to bathe the two little ones.
It was almost dark when Mrs. Zhao came over.
Mrs. Zhao saw her two grandsons, changed into a set of clothes, and they were new clothes too.
“I’ll sleep with Da Bao and the others.”
Nothing happened that night, and the Wang Family didn’t come to cause trouble.
However, things were not so peaceful on Zhao Tianlei’s side of the train.
“My grandson is gone, my grandson is missing.” The sudden cry awakened Fang Chaoyang and the others in an instant.
They heard the voice of an elderly lady behind them, the one whose grandchild had kicked their seats during the day. Because Third Brother was hurt, such kicking was unbearable, so they said a few words.
But instead of controlling her grandson, the old woman said the child was just playing.
With the old woman’s cries, many people in the carriage were awoken.
Some people started to complain.
Someone went to get the train conductor.
But there were others who looked on, unwilling to help.
The old lady and her grandson had offended quite a few people.
Her grandson was nothing but a troublemaker.
The old woman always defended him, especially offending those around them. Now that the child had been carried away, still there were few who helped look for him.
Zhao Tianlei looked at their group, “Help look for him.”
“Third Brother, that kid was kicking the chair earlier.”
Since Third Brother had spoken, they decided to help look. “If we can’t find him, it would suggest that the child might have been taken off the train,” Fang Chaoyang analyzed.
The three of them got up to help search.
The train conductor did not come alone; a railway police officer came as well, and after inquiring with the old lady, they began to search.
“We couldn’t find him.”
Zhao Tianlei didn’t look back at the seat behind him.
“I’m afraid he might have been kidnapped.”
“That child looked about the same age as Da Bao but wasn’t as well-behaved,” Zhao Tianhe also came back.
They all had a vivid memory of the child, after all, he had continuously been kicking the seat, and they told him to stop, but the child simply wouldn’t listen.
How could they not remember him?
After some time passed, the child was found but had inhaled a large amount of sedative and was taken to the train conductor’s rest area. The old lady even came to pick up her belongings and thanked everyone who had helped search for the child, one by one.
How could she not say thank you?
“Still knows to say thanks,” Cao Dali said with a sarcastic look on his face.
