A kidnapping case occurred in Huailin City, and the police arrested the suspect in just one day.

The Huailin City Daily published a lengthy report on Zhou Xiaowei's kidnapping case, but it didn't say anything that should have been said, while saying a lot of things that shouldn't have been said.

Why was he kidnapped? Was it committed by someone he knew?

None of them were there; the two poor burly men bore the brunt of it all.

A photo of Zhou Wenhui holding Zhou Xiaowei as they presented a banner to the Municipal Public Security Bureau was published on the front page.

Zhou Wenhui was the editor-in-chief of the daily newspaper's supplement. He personally advised on this news article, and he proofread the draft to determine what should be written and how it should be written.

Han Dan works at an ice pop factory. During her break, she accidentally saw a newspaper and was shocked to find that it was Qiaoqiao's lover.

Her child was kidnapped? Oh my god, where is my great-grandmother? This is terrible! You must be terrified!

Han Dan suddenly missed Qiaoqiao. She got into university, but there was no one to take care of her child, so she was kidnapped, right?

My Hao Hao is so lucky. The chemical plant has a preschool class where Hao Hao can learn to sing, dance, and study with the teacher. It's so safe for him.

For the first time, Han Dan had a strong urge to see Qiaoqiao and comfort her.

Han Dan was in a state of inexplicable excitement all day. When she saw her colleagues, she couldn't help but introduce them: "You saw that kidnapping case in the Daily News, right? It was terrifying. It was my neighbor from the military family compound."

"Poor thing, look at the newspaper, the child's father looks so upright, but he's actually legless, just like our Lin Jie, a hero. I don't know what he did to deserve such hatred, and his child was taken away."

"People shouldn't be too high-profile. So what if he's a hero? Every family has its heroes."

"My mind is in turmoil. I have to go see her. Poor thing, all alone in the city, with only me as her friend."

The colleague, unaware of what Han Dan was saying and not wanting to interrupt, could only reply, "We should go and take a look."

"Which child isn't the apple of their mother's eye?"

That evening, Han Dan brought the newspaper home and showed it to Lin Jie. Lin Jie was shocked: "Something so serious happened to Wenhui's family?"

"Doesn't your workplace publish daily reports? Well, you don't really like reading newspapers anyway."

"Who said I didn't watch it? I've just been busy these past few days and haven't had time to watch it."

Lin Jie not only read the newspaper, but he read it very carefully, flipping through it over and over again. There was an article by Zhang Man in the supplement.

"I want to visit Qiaoqiao on Sunday. Do you know where she lives?"

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate? Such a big thing happened to her family; she's bound to be very resistant to outsiders visiting."

"Am I an outsider? I'm Qiaoqiao's friend. We've been separated for over a year, and her family went through a disaster. What's wrong with me going to keep her company?"

"That's true. Wenhui said he lives at 126 Songshan Road. Don't take Haohao there. The child is noisy, and it's difficult for you two sisters to talk to him."

"Of course we should bring them. We already have a child, and all the conversations will revolve around the child. What's there for the two of us to talk about?"

"Fine, fine, whatever you want." Lin Jie waved his hand impatiently.

Since opening up to Zhang Man, Lin Jie's mind has been entirely focused on Zhang Man's family. As for Han Dan, do whatever you want.

Early Sunday morning, Han Dan started her busy day. It was getting hot, so she dressed Hao Hao in corduroy overalls with open crotch and a blue shirt. He looked just like a little sassy cadre.

I took two more boxes of cookies, thought for a long time, put one down, and decided that one box would be enough.

The sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue and the clouds were white, and the spring breeze was gentle. It was truly a wonderful day.

From the chemical plant, it takes half an hour by bus to reach Songshan Road, and then another kilometer to reach No. 126.

The large iron gate was closed, so we couldn't see inside and had to knock.

After a long while, Yu Fulai opened the door.

"Oh, Sister Han, it's you?"

Qiaoqiao and Han Dan have a good relationship, which is also due to Yu Fu's matchmaking.

While living in the military compound, Lin Jie often beat Han Dan and was very stingy with her. Yu Fu couldn't stand it and asked Qiao Qiao to give the extra vegetables to Han Dan.

"Yu Fu, what are you doing at the Zhou family's house?"

The Zhou family are no longer military personnel, so how can they still enjoy the benefits of the logistics department?

"Come in, come in. I'm here on temporary assignment from Minister Zhou."

Yu Fu picked up Hao Hao and exclaimed in surprise, "This child is so sturdy! He must be over a year old!"

"Yes, she's one year and two months old. Is Qiaoqiao home? I've come to see her."

"Home, home, please come in."

Qiaoqiao, who was tidying up on the third floor, heard the noise and poked her head out of the window. Seeing that it was Han Dan, she happily called out, "Sister Han, what brings you here? I'll be right down."

"Who is it?" Zhou Wenhui asked.

"Sister Han, let's go down together."

They're all old neighbors, so naturally I have to go downstairs to entertain them when they come to my house.

Han Dan entered the house as if entering a palace. The old-fashioned Western-style building, with its yellow floor tiles and wooden decorations, was as noble and solemn as the commune's auditorium.

He lived in a two-bedroom apartment, while Qiaoqiao lived in a three-story villa.

Han Dan was very anxious. Why couldn't she catch up with Qiao Qiao when they both married disabled soldiers?

Qiaoqiao was wearing a floral short-sleeved top and a maroon skirt, with two shiny black braids. If you didn't know her, you'd think she was a young woman.

Then look at myself: a plain shirt, yellow pants, and handmade cloth shoes. No matter how you look at it, I look incredibly unfashionable.

Qiaoqiao rushed downstairs, grabbed Han Dan, and said, "Sister Han, I've wanted to visit you for a long time, but one thing after another has happened at home."

"I read the newspaper and was worried about you, so I came to check on you. Is the child alright?"

"I'm fine, it's alright, Sister Han, please have a seat."

Zhou Wenhui led Xiaowei downstairs and saw Haohao behind Han Dan. He cried out and wanted to play with him, which scared Haohao so much that he hid behind his mother.

"Your son? How old is he? What's his name?"

Qiaoqiao reached out to hug the child, but the child was scared and clung tightly to Han Dan's trouser leg.

"His name is Hao Hao, he's one year and two months old, and he's very shy."

"Oh, Sister Han, what a coincidence! My Xiaowei is also one year and two months old. Haohao, come here, let Auntie give you a hug."

Qiaoqiao took a big apple from the table, and Haohao then staggered toward her.

Qiaoqiao hugged Haohao tightly, placed the apple in his hand, and looked at him intently: "Han Dan, you're so good at raising children! He's so sturdy, with such a big head and such good skin..."

Qiaoqiao kept praising him, then suddenly paused and asked, "Sister Han, Hao Hao has a birthmark between his eyebrows?"

"Yes, the old folks say that if a boy has feminine features, he will become an official in the future."

A boy with feminine features? At the hospital, there was a baby in the next bed with a birthmark on his eye, and Qiaoqiao's mother was saying that a boy with feminine features is a lucky child.

The birthmarks were in the exact same location. When Qiaoqiao was discharged from the hospital, she took a special look at the pregnant woman's name, which was Li Hongxia.

Qiaoqiao quickly regained her composure and kissed Haohao: "What a lucky child! Xiaowei, come on, take your little brother to play inside the enclosure."

Zhou Wenhui thoughtfully took the two children away, leaving the two sisters to talk about their feelings.

The two children were having fun playing inside the fence, and soon Hao Hao's laughter could be heard.

Han Dan said sincerely, "Your Wenhui is really good at taking care of children. My Linjie never takes care of the children."

"There's no other way. I get home late from school, and he has to take care of the kids, so Sister Hu makes time to cook."
