"Hongmei Fashion Store, I've been to that store. The proprietress is a young-looking girl. It turns out she's a stepmother?"

"I know her husband. It seems that his wife died less than half a year ago, and he married this woman. Then he immediately opened a clothing store for her. It has been less than a year since then."

"Oh my god, this woman is so vicious. She became someone's stepmother and ended up abandoning the child."

There were quite a few people on the minibus, all of whom were from the provincial capital and had some connections, so they quickly figured out what had happened.

No one cared what the truth of the matter was. They all just kept talking about what they thought and guessed.

For a moment, even though the car door was not closed, people in the car were not bored. The discussion was so lively that they didn't even notice that the car door was open.

Lan Xin saw the door of the minibus was opened and two people in police uniforms came up. They conducted a simple check on the people on the bus and asked for information about the situation.

There was also a young female police officer who took the little girl from Lan Xin and the others, comforted her in a gentle voice, and asked about the situation.

The girl's family hadn't arrived yet, and she was very wary of other people. Lan Xin didn't know when she grabbed her clothes and wouldn't let go.

"Auntie, why don't you stay and help?" The female police officer breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, and quickly looked at Lan Xin with eager eyes.

Lan Xin didn’t really want to.

It would take them quite a while to get back to Lanjia Village, and Lan Xin didn't want to waste time here. If they couldn't catch the bus and go back, where would they sleep tonight?

"It's getting late and we don't have a car to go home." Lan Xin politely refused, then looked at the girl and said, "Little girl, you have been to school, right? Did your teacher teach you to find the police uncles and aunts when you encounter difficulties?"

The girl stared straight at Lan Xin. Lan Xin blinked her eyes and was just about to breathe a sigh of relief as she had finally gotten rid of the girl, but the girl pouted and kept shouting loudly.

"I don't want it, I don't want it..."

My goodness, that sonic attack made Lan Xin feel like her ears were going deaf.

The female police officer standing by did not expect the little girl's voice to be so loud, but fortunately her high note finally attracted her family.

"Zhao Yueling, what are you doing?"

A serious voice came from the front door of the minibus.

The passengers on the bus had been organized and got off in order to go to the minibus station for a brief question-and-answer session. However, the little girl stayed on the bus and refused to get off, bringing Lan Xin and the others with her.

Now they were the only ones left in the car, and the man's voice penetrated the entire car. He was truly worthy of being the one who could give birth to the future soprano.

This must be the man who got married less than half a year after his ex-wife died, and ended up having his new wife abandon their daughter.

As soon as this panting and anxious voice sounded, the howling girl suddenly became quiet like Sun Wukong encountering the golden hoop, closed her mouth, and stared at the front door with her dark eyes.

When she saw the familiar people, the little girl, who had been noisy and never shed a tear, suddenly had tears in her eyes and tears as big as beans dripped down her face.

She let go of the hand that was holding the corner of Lan Xin's clothes, jumped off the chair, trotted into the man's arms, and shouted in a crying voice.

"Dad, woooo, I almost didn't get to see you."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she spoke in a voice so loud that it made people's brains hurt. However, her unclear words with a crying tone did not make people feel irritated. Instead, they made people feel sad for the child.

Looking at his daughter running to him, the man sighed, picked her up, and then looked at the people in the car and spoke sincerely.

"Thank you all for your help. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have become of my daughter. Thank you so much."

"My name is Zhao Qingfeng, and this is my daughter Zhao Yueling. Come on, Yueling, say thank you to this aunt."

Zhao Qingfeng looked at Lan Xin. He learned from the minibus conductor that Lan Xin was the first person to notice something was wrong and alert them.

"If there's anything I, Zhao Qingfeng, can help with, just ask. I'll definitely do it."

Zhao Qingfeng was really grateful to Lan Xin.

Zhao Yueling, who was pulled by Zhao Qingfeng and refused to reveal her name, looked at Lan Xin shyly, then bent down and spoke loudly.

"Thank you, aunt!"

Lan Xin could feel a breeze from that voice and that momentum, and she smiled and waved her hands.

"As long as the child is okay, no matter who it is, they will stand up when they encounter such a thing."

At the same time, Lan Xin also breathed a sigh of relief, with only one thought in her mind: they could finally go home.

After a series of questioning, Lan Xin and the others were finally able to get back on the bus and continue their journey to Yu County.

The driver seemed to understand that time was wasted, so he drove very fast along the way. He could have even been racing if he had sung a song with "Xia Pu" in it.

Lan Xin grabbed the seat in fear, her heart pounding. Fortunately, no accidents happened and they drove smoothly all the way to Yu County. However, they still missed the last bus.

After all, it is a car driving to tourist attractions, so there is not much time. There are only three trips a day, and if you miss it, you will miss it.

Lan Xi looked up at the sky and said skillfully, "Let's walk back. It's only an hour and a half, very easy."

It's only half past five now. If they walk back, they can just make it in time for dinner. Lanxi has experience with this.

"Ah!" Lan Xin widened her eyes and wailed in pain in her heart.

She wasn't so keen on hiking on the road.

But thinking of the many things at home waiting to be decided, she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

Lan Xin kept thinking as she walked. Fortunately, she traveled back to 1983, when a scenic spot was opened and minibuses were available. If she had traveled back to the 1970s and 1980s, it would have taken two or three hours to walk to a city. The thought of it was really scary.

Not as good as the best, but better than the worst. After making a comparison, Lan Xin suddenly felt much better and her steps became much faster, leaving Lan Xi who was standing beside her confused.

What are you thinking about so happily?

Along the way, Lan Xin also met many tourists who came out to play and missed the last bus on their way back, so they had to walk.

These people were either groups of three or five good friends, or families out for fun with their children. They walked and chatted in a leisurely manner, chattering a lot and looking quite happy.

However, once they see someone riding a bicycle, they will groan and complain why the other person didn't ride a bicycle instead.

It seems that people who have time to play at this time have better conditions at home.

There were quite a few tourists returning home. Lan Xin was listening to their words and summarizing the information while making a draft in her mind.

Before they knew it, they had finished the nearly ten-kilometer journey and walked into Lanjia Village in the darkening sky.

The villagers they met along the way all smiled friendly at Lan Xin and her friends and greeted her.

"Hey, Lan Xin is back?"

"Where are you going to play?"

"Is the meal ready at home? If not, come to my house and eat."

"Lan Xin, when you recruit again, please consider me, your aunt. I am very quick."

Along the way, all the people she met showed Lan Xin a friendlier attitude than ever before.
