A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

As they were talking, they soon arrived at Xin Street.

The houses on this street are not very good and cannot compare with the environment of the small Western-style buildings, but they are all small stand-alone buildings, which are much better than the tube-shaped buildings.

He Qiang sent her to the entrance of No. 15. Just as he was about to leave, Gu Qinghuan quickly took out money from her bag and handed it to him: "You forgot the fare."

He Qiang waved his hand nonchalantly: "I don't want your money. I made five dollars from you last time. Forget it this time."

He is a young man of principles.

Gu Qinghuan stuffed it directly into his hand: "Take it, I don't mind it."

This kid doesn't look very old and looks very young. It's not easy for him to make a living. He wears so little in such a cold day. However, he is dressed very neatly, and there are puddings of various colors on the holes in his clothes.

Seeing that she was determined to give it, He Qiang scratched his head and prepared to accept the money.

The next second, he seemed to see something suddenly and his eyes widened in horror. The next second, he didn't even have time to pick up the money and let it fall to the ground. He got off the tricycle and rushed forward at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Gu Qinghuan looked in the direction he was rushing in confusion and was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. A child fell from the upstairs.

This building is No. 15 Xinjie, where Sister Luo Ning lives.

It can be imagined that this child should be Sister Luo Ning’s daughter Xu Youran.

It happened in a flash, and she had no time to react. She could only watch the child fall, and her heart almost stopped.

Fortunately, no blood was spilled on the spot, and the next second, the child was caught by He Qiang.

To be precise, it hit him hard and almost knocked him over. Fortunately, he had been pedaling for a long time, so his lower body was stable and his arms were strong enough to hold the child tightly, thus avoiding tragedy.

He Qiang placed the child steadily on the ground.

Gu Qinghuan didn't have time to ask about his condition. She checked the child first and found that she was just a little too frightened. She was stunned and didn't even cry.

There were no obvious injuries on his body, but he felt a little hot, and for some reason his hands had some broken skin and his fingers were red and swollen.

This little face... is exactly the same as the one in the photo that Sister Luo Ning sent me two years ago. It is definitely You Ran.

How could she fall from up there? No one was home? Where was Sister Luo Ning?

In an instant, there were many questions in her mind that she wanted to ask, but unfortunately Xu Youran obviously couldn't answer her now.

He Qiang saw her nervous look and asked cautiously, "Is this your relative's child?"

Gu Qinghuan nodded: "Thank you so much today. I will definitely repay you handsomely someday for your kindness. I would also like to trouble you to keep an eye on her for a while. I will go to see what is going on at home."

In a hurry, Gu Qinghuan couldn't find anyone to trust, so she stuffed Xu Youran into He Qiang's arms and went to knock on the door.

The moment the incident happened, many neighbors around witnessed the scene with their own eyes. Everyone gathered around and started talking about it.

"It's so scary. What's wrong with this family? They let a child fall from a building. It could be fatal."

"This young man really did a great thing. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. He will surely be rewarded in the next life."

"Isn't this the Xu family? Mrs. Xu isn't home?"

"I heard that the granddaughter of the Xu family has some mental problems. She rarely comes out and doesn't talk to people. She must be a fool..."

"Fool? Could it be that the Xu family couldn't tolerate this fool and pushed her down on purpose?"

"No way, her mother is so gentle to her. Hey, I haven't seen the daughter-in-law of the Xu family for a long time. She used to take the children out to buy groceries every day."

...

Gu Qinghuan knocked on the door and kicked it hard, but there was no response from inside.

She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She wondered what was going on with Sister Luo Ning.

At this time, a kind-hearted woman carrying a basket of vegetables said, "Girl, don't worry. I just asked my son to go to the street corner to find the police. When the police come, they will open the door and we will know. Maybe something happened to the adults at home and no one is taking care of the child."

This kind of thing happens quite often. There are some elderly people taking care of their grandchildren in the alley. When an elderly person falls ill and falls down, the children crawl everywhere and some even catch the feces and eat them.

Everyone was guessing at the specific situation.

Some said that their family members were out and not at home.

Some people said that someone in the family was sick and no one was taking care of the children.

Some people also have conspiracy theories, saying that the child was pushed down on purpose.

He spoke as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Gu Qinghuan could only wait anxiously.

Fortunately, the young man was very fast and soon two police officers came over on bicycles.

Gu Qinghuan and the people around him quickly explained the details of the situation.

The police immediately prepared to break the door lock and go in to check the situation at home.

At this time, Xu's mother came back after playing mahjong all night. She had bad luck last night and lost more than 30 yuan. She was angry!

As soon as she walked near her home, she saw a lot of people gathered around what they were doing. She looked carefully and realized that this was not the door to her home. Why were there police officers there? She couldn't help but panic.

Xu's mother hurried over and asked, "What's going on? What are you doing at my door?"

Now the police don’t have to break down the door.

"Is there no one at home? Did you know that your child fell from the upstairs? If it weren't for this young man's bravery, the child would have been in big trouble!

Sister, you must pay attention to safety in the future and don’t leave the child alone at home.” The police didn’t think too much about it and just gave a simple reminder. After all, nothing serious happened.

When Xu's mother heard this, she didn't feel too sorry for her granddaughter who fell from the upstairs. She didn't even look at her for a second and just wanted to get rid of everyone quickly.

"Yes, yes, I get it. I'll be more careful next time. There's nothing to worry about here. You all can go home now."

Seeing her reaction, Gu Qinghuan felt very flustered and always felt that something was wrong.

"Aunt, I don't know if you remember, I'm Gu Qinghuan, Zhong Luoning's cousin. Where is she now? Is it convenient for us to meet her?"

Only then did Xu's mother notice Gu Qinghuan standing next to her.

After not seeing each other for many years, she had long forgotten who her daughter-in-law's cousin was.

And she wanted to meet Zhong Luo Ning? No way!

He was gritting his teeth in his heart but looked kind on the outside.

"Haha, girl, you came at a really bad time. Luo Ning went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet."

Her obvious evasion of responsibility made Gu Qinghuan even more certain that there was something wrong.

"Then can you let me go in and wait for her? We haven't seen each other for many years and I miss her." She insisted on going in.

Xu's mother gradually lost her patience.

"It's really not convenient today. Please come another day! Besides, Youran was just frightened and is busy at home. I'm afraid I don't have time to entertain you."

In order to prevent her from entering the house, Xu's mother even brought up You Ran as an excuse.
