Chapter 66:
Mom, don't abandon us.
On Monday morning, it was time to get up, eat and go to school again. One of the two children of Ji's family was full of energy and the other was weak. Their eyelids seemed to be closed again.
Seeing this scene, Ji Jiangzhou reminded Ji Zhile: "Zhile, didn't you go to bed early last night?"
Ever since he knew that Ji Zhile couldn't get up in the morning, Ji Jiangzhou never allowed him to play too late at night, but even so, it was still difficult for Ji Zhile to get up early.
Ji Zhile said, "But I'm so sleepy."
Why is there always not enough time to sleep? It would be great if I could go to school an hour later, or not go to school in the morning.
Ji Zhile closed her eyes, picked up the sandwich and stuffed it into her mouth, pretending that she was still sleeping.
Ji Jiangzhou cast his eyes on Ji Ningyi and asked, "Ning Yi, do you know when Pei Jing can come to our house for dinner?"
Ji Ning swallowed the milk in his mouth and said, "Dad, Pei Jing is eating at home now. His mother will cook for him every morning, send him to school, and took Pei Jing to the amusement park yesterday."
Ji Jiangzhou felt regretful, because when Pei Jing was eating at their house, Ji Zhile would be much easier to take care of, and the meals became very neat, without anyone urging him at all.
"Zhi Le, don't dawdle, be careful to be late." Ji Ning poked Ji Zhile's shoulder, reminding.
He hoped to go to school earlier, so he could ask Pei Jing how he was doing in the amusement park yesterday, because he recommended this amusement park to Pei Jing, and he hoped that Pei Jing would have a good time and like it there very much.
Ji Zhile puffed up her cheeks: "I won't be late, every time I go to kindergarten, it's still a long time before I do morning exercises."
However, considering that his elder brother went to school earlier than them, Ji Zhile opened his eyes with effort and began to eat bread.
"Father, shall we have instant noodles tomorrow morning?" Ji Zhile wanted to eat instant noodles, recalling the instant noodles he ate at Pei Jing's last time, his mouth was watering.
Ji Jiangzhou said: "If you can get up on time at 6:30, you can eat."
Ji Zhile is full of ambition at this moment: "I can!"
Going out from home after breakfast, Ji Ningyi sat by the window, leaning against the window, trying to look outside - Pei Jing's house.
Since Pei Jing's mother sent Pei Jing to school, they didn't go to school together, but Ji Ningyi would look out the window every morning, and sometimes he would see Pei Jing.
The two children waved and smiled at each other through the glass, which is a very unique way of greeting.
But today Ji Ningyi didn't see Pei Jing, and the door of Pei Jing's house was also closed.
This is rare as they go to school in the same class and most of the time go to school at about the same time.
Ji Ning frowned slightly, did Pei Jing go to school already?
When we arrived at the school, after Ji Ning said goodbye to Ji Jiangzhou, he walked towards the classroom. On the way, he met many classmates in the class. He was very popular, and many people greeted him, and finally went to the classroom together.
But when he got to the classroom, Ji Ning found that Pei Jing's seat was empty and he hadn't come yet.
Ji Ningyi was really worried that Pei Jing would be late today, because the door of Pei Jing's house was still closed when he left. It is said that his mother has changed, but the first impression is hard to erase. Ji Ningyi always avoids meeting Pei Jing's mother.
Ji Ning was very busy before the morning self-study. He had to collect his homework. If he had not collected all his homework, Pei Jingzai would usually help him clean it up. Pei Jing was very serious about things, and the two of them would be able to do it very quickly.
Ji Ning missed Pei Jing very much at first, and wanted to ask Pei Jing how his weekend was.
But Pei Jing didn't come until the morning self-study, Ji Ning was a little worried when he looked at the empty space next to him, if Pei Jing was late, he would definitely be criticized by Teacher Luo.
What Ji Ningyi was worried about came true. When Mr. Luo came to the class, he glanced at every student in the class. He could tell at a glance who was not here, and asked Ji Ningyi, because Ji Ningyi was Pei Jing's classmate. table, after getting feedback that Pei Jing was not here, Teacher Luo left the classroom with his mobile phone.
As soon as Ji Ning knew that it was Mr. Luo calling Pei Jing's parents, the students and teachers who were late for too long would ask the reason one by one.
When doing morning exercises after self-study get out of class, Pei Jing hadn't come yet. Ji Ning couldn't bear it anymore, and took the initiative to ask Teacher Luo: "Teacher, why hasn't Pei Jing come today?"
Teacher Luo frowned, and had always been kind to Ji Ningyi, a sensible little helper: "I just don't know, and Pei Jing's mother can't get through on the phone."
Ji Ning said: "Teacher, I know the address of Pei Jing's house, I can take the teacher to Pei Jing's house."
Teacher Luo said: "You don't need to go to Pei Jing's house yet, the teacher will try calling later."
Even though he said this, Ji Ningyi couldn't rest assured that Pei Jing would be late for such a long time. It turned out that Pei Jing was always late every morning because Pei Jing's home was far away from the school, and Pei Jing had to take the bus to school by himself. Ning Yi knew that Pei Jing was not someone who would stay up late.
And when he left today, the door of Pei Jing's house was locked, which was different from usual. There were so many abnormalities that Ji Ningyi wanted to go back and see Pei Jing now, but he was in school now, and the school couldn't bring phones and watches. I can't contact my parents, and I can't go home.
When the first class was about to begin, Pei Jing hadn't come yet, and Ji Ningyi became more and more worried. On the way back to the classroom after morning exercises, a classmate approached Ji Ningyi and said, "Ji Ningyi, I saw Yu Yu today. Xi brought his phone and watch to class, you go and tell Teacher Luo, and let Teacher Luo take away his watch."
The classmate ran away after reporting the secret, but Ji Ningyi was thoughtful.
As soon as Ji Ning found Yu Xi, he took Yu Xi to a corner alone and said, "Just now a classmate told me that you brought a phone and watch to school."
Yu Xi's eyes widened: "I didn't!"
Ji Ning said: "Whether you have it or not, I will tell Mr. Luo."
Yu Xi said: "Why do you like to sue so much? I just brought it carelessly. Yesterday my mother took me out to play. I put my phone and watch in my schoolbag and forgot to take it out. I didn't mean it."
Ji Ningyi said: "Well, since you didn't mean it, I won't tell Teacher Luo this time, but you can't take your phone and watch out of your schoolbag today, or you will be seen by other students."
"Of course." Yu Xi said, "Ji Ningyi, don't tell Teacher Luo."
Ji Ning nodded: "I also want to borrow your phone and watch to call my mother."
Yu Xi felt that since Ji Ning and his team kept it a secret, he would be more than willing to borrow the phone and watch: "Then you can't be discovered."
"No, I won't let Teacher Luo find you out, and I'll help you keep it a secret." Ji Ningyi said.
After hearing this sentence, Yu Xi felt that Ji Ning had changed, he was not as fond of complaining as before, so he went back to the classroom and secretly gave the phone and watch to Ji Ning, just when the bell rang for class, Ji Ning raised his hand, Said he had a stomachache and wanted to go to the toilet.
He has always been obedient in school, and his grades are good, so even if it happened that he went to the bathroom as soon as class started, the teacher agreed.
Ji Ning went to the toilet with Yu Xi's phone watch and called Si Tian.
At this time, after nine o'clock, Si Tian also woke up, she was very surprised when she picked up the phone and heard Ji Ning's voice: "Ning Yi, what's wrong?"
"Mom." Ji Ning said in a low voice, "Pei Jing hasn't come to school yet, and Mr. Luo can't get through to his mother. Can mother go to Pei Jing's house? If Pei Jing is not at home, mother can come to pick me up at school I want to find Pei Jing."
"I will make up the content of the teacher's class today. I am very worried about Pei Jing." Ji Ningyi said.
Si Tian knew that the two children had a good relationship, and also knew that Ji Ningyi was smart and had good grades. Since he had his own ideas and thought about the consequences, Si Tian agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Pei Jing turned off the phone and watch, so that after returning it to Yu Xi, it would not ring to avoid being discovered by the teacher.
Phones and watches are not allowed in the school. If you want to contact your parents, you can go through the teacher, but if you want your mother to pick you up, you must not say that you are going to find Pei Jing in front of Teacher Luo. Teacher Luo will not agree, so you can only lie Said to be sick.
But Ji Ning didn't want to lie to his mother, he was worried that his mother would be anxious, so it was the best way to use Yu Xi's mobile phone to call his mother to explain the reason. He knew that his mother would agree to him, because her mother also cared about Pei Jing. .
After the first class, Ji Ningyi went to the office to ask Teacher Luo about Pei Jing. Teacher Luo said that if Pei Jing didn't come in the afternoon, he would go to find Pei Jing at home.
Just at this moment, Teacher Luo's phone rang. Ji Ningyi's hearing was very good, and he heard Si Tian's voice from the phone. After hanging up the phone, Teacher Luo said to Ji Ningyi: "Your mother is here, and she wants It's urgent to take you home."
Ji Ningyi immediately said, "I'm going to pack my schoolbag."
Ji Ningyi quickly got Teacher Luo's leave note, carried his schoolbag and went straight to the door, and saw Si Tian standing at the school gate at a glance: "Mom!"
As soon as she got in the car, Si Tian said: "Pei Jing's house is closed, and no one was found when the property went to the door."
Ji Ning frowned: "Mom, I'm so worried about Pei Jing."
"Let's go find Pei Jing. Yesterday Pei Jing went to the amusement park with his mother. I know where it is."
Si Tian said, "Okay."
She thought that regardless of whether Ji Ningyi gained anything from this trip, she would accompany Ji Ningyi to do it. He had a reason for wanting to do it, because he was worried about his friends, and he had thought about the consequences. After thinking about how to remedy it, she, as a mother, naturally supports him.
Ji Ningyi is still so young, he always has to learn from experience and practice to gain true knowledge. There is not much time in a day.
Besides, Si Tian was also quite worried about Pei Jing. Pei Jing was neither at home nor at school. The last time she saw him was Saturday afternoon. Pei Jing happily said that she would go to the amusement park with her mother on Sunday.
But Si Tian doesn't like Pei Zhen, even though she was not good towards Ning Yi and Zhi Le at first, she changed later, she should understand and change her view towards Pei Zhen.
But Si Tian knew that her situation was a replacement, and Pei Zhen hadn't been impaled.
It was the first time at school that she slapped Pei Jing indiscriminately, shut Pei Jing outside, drank and cursed... No matter which point of view you choose, this is not something a mother should do.
The child is the most innocent. Parents brought him into the world without even asking for his opinion.
Born like this, without a father, being neglected, beaten and scolded by his mother, and growing up with his grandmother until he was seven years old, Pei Jing lacked too much in his life. If you really don't like it, you don't need to bring him into the world, instead of giving him life and leaving him alone.
But Si Tian also noticed Pei Jing's changes recently. Pei Jing liked her mother and her current life, and the smile on her face became brighter. Si Tian also has to admit that no one can replace the role of mother for a child, and it is very important.
It's just that on the way to the amusement park, seeing Ji Ningyi looking anxiously out of the car window, Si Tian thought, they should not find Pei Jing in the amusement park, even if it is a stranger, it is impossible for a seven-year-old Abandoned children in the amusement park.
And now that the weather is cold and the temperature difference between day and night is large, it will leave children with both physical and psychological trauma.
Si Tian took Ji Ning and bought a ticket to enter the amusement park. On Monday, it was morning again, and there were not many people in the amusement park. Ji Ning held Si Tian's hand and walked all the way to watch, but the amusement park was too big. After walking around for a long time, I didn't finish it, so I didn't see Pei Jing.
Ji Ningyi said: "Mom, let's find Uncle Security, let the radio help us find it."
Si Tian said, "Okay."
The security guard seems to be very experienced in the case of lost children, and he comforted them not to worry: "The security measures in our garden are very good, there are surveillance everywhere, and children under ten years old are not allowed to go out alone at the exit, he listened to it." The radio will definitely come to you."
After asking Pei Jing's name, the security guard yelled into the loudspeaker: "Little Pei Jing, your mother is looking for you. Please come to the broadcasting room when you hear the broadcast. Your mother is waiting for you here."
Repeated several times.
Before Si Tian had time to say that she was not Pei Jing's mother, she was arranged to sit in the radio room and wait.
Ji Ning held Si Tian's hand tightly, and asked nervously, "Mom, will Pei Jing come?"
He was actually not sure if Pei Jing was in the amusement park, but when he knew that Pei Jing was late for so long and was not at home, the first reaction in Ji Ning's head was the amusement park. He still didn't like Pei Jing's mother. Mom is bad.
If Pei Jing is at home now, Ji Ningyi will not be depressed, he will be happier.
Just as he was thinking like this, there were soft footsteps outside, and then a small figure rushed in with a hoarse and anxious voice: "Mom."
However, after seeing Si Tian and Ji Ningyi in the radio room, the light in Pei Jing's eyes went out.
He held the drink bottle in one hand and squeezed the magic wand tightly in the other. After waiting all night, he finally heard the broadcast, little friend Pei Jing, your mother is looking for you...
He ran as fast as he could, not wanting to make his mother wait a second longer. He wanted to tell his mother that he had really been waiting for her and hadn't gone anywhere.
He won't ask why he came to him so late, maybe there is something wrong, but when he comes to him, he will take the initiative to meet him. He has no other relatives, and he doesn't want to be abandoned by all relatives.
but not.
Pei Jing called out in a low voice: "Aunt Si Tian, Ning Yi."
As soon as Ji Ning ran over, he grabbed Pei Jing's hand: "Pei Jing."
Pei Jing's hands were icy cold, as was his body, and there was even dew on his hair, which was crystal clear, as if he had been sitting outside all night.
Si Tian took the two children back to the car. Pei Jing's condition was worse than Si Tian imagined. His face was pale, his hands were cold, and he didn't say a word.
Si Tian was filled with anger, she didn't need to tell Pei Jing, she also wanted to understand a lot of things, Pei Jing was abandoned in the amusement park by Pei Zhen, and she stayed alone in the amusement park for one night, if it wasn't for them, no Know when Pei Jing will be found.
Children are fragile and may suffer permanent pain and injury.
Seeing Pei Jing's silence, Si Tian felt uncomfortable: "Pei Jing, let's go to the hospital first."
She didn't ask what happened to Pei Jing, she didn't want to make Pei Jing sad to recall the past again.
Pei Jing shook his head: "It's time for me to go to school."
Ji Ning quickly said: "No need, I will ask my classmates to borrow notes, we can do it again, and if you don't understand, you can ask the teacher."
"Pei Jing, you seem to have a fever."
His hands were cold, his forehead was hot, his speech was hoarse, his face was pale, and he looked serious.
Si Tian made a final decision: "Go to the hospital."
Pei Jing looked down at the beverage bottle in his hand, and said in a low voice, "I have no money."
He still has more than 3,000 yuan on him, but he doesn't want to use it. He already understands a lot. His mother may not come back, so he can only go to his grandmother. He has 3,000 yuan with him, so that it won't be too burdensome Grandma is gone, he will spend very little money, and it doesn't matter if he can't continue to study.
It costs a lot of money to see a doctor, but if you have a fever and a cold, just drink a cup of cold medicine and sleep well. Pei Jing is experienced.
"No need to spend money." Si Tian said, "Pei Jing, these are not things that children should worry about."
What children should worry about is how much homework will be finished today, what to eat at noon, and conflicts with friends...
Instead of worrying about not being able to see a doctor without money, or worrying about what to do if your parents don't want you.
Ji Ningyi also went to the hospital with them. The doctor gave Pei Jing an infusion, and Ji Ningyi watched the drip dripping down, comfortingly said: "Pei Jing, you will be much better after this bottle is finished. , will you feel uncomfortable now?"
Pei Jing shook his head: "It's not uncomfortable."
He turned his head and looked at the drink bottle next to him. There was still more than half of the water in it. It was peach-flavored. Pei Zhen bought it for him. It was very expensive. A bottle cost ten yuan, and the taste was sweet. Later, when Pei Jing was sitting on the bench waiting for someone, he was reluctant to drink it.
Ji Ning took the textbook out of the bag and told Pei Jing what they should study today: "If you are bored, I will read the text to you."
Si Tian saw this scene when she came back after paying the fee. Pei Jing was lying on the bed, and as soon as Ji Ning read the text to him, the single ward was filled with a strong study atmosphere for a while, breaking some sentimentality.
After the infusion, Si Tian took the two children home. The doctor said to pay attention to the children's condition in the past two days and come to the hospital for another infusion tomorrow.
Ji Ning was worried that Pei Jing would go back to school, so he said, "Pei Jing, don't worry, my mother has already asked Teacher Luo for leave. You can just go to school tomorrow. Teacher Luo said that he will make up for us separately."
Pei Jing nodded: "Thank you, Ning Yi."
He handed the magic wand to Ji Ningyi, showing a shallow and pale smile: "The doll sister gave it to me yesterday, and it's for you."
Yesterday...and when they went to the amusement park today, Pei Jing was holding the magic wand in his hand. Ji Ning had already understood a lot in his mind. He took it and said seriously: "Thank you, I will keep it well."
Pei Jing didn't sleep well all night, and now he was sleepy, Ji Ningyi and Si Tian left the room.
As soon as Ji Ning squeezed the magic wand in his hand, he was very depressed now, and asked Si Tian in a low voice: "Mom, why did Pei Jing's mother leave Pei Jing in the amusement park?"
Si Tian said, "I don't know either."
"I think this is very bad." Ji Ning's eyes turned red, "Because Pei Jing likes his mother very much, Pei Jing will be very sad."
"Mom, don't abandon us."
Si Tian knelt down and hugged Ji Ningyi: "I won't, I will grow up with Ning Yi."
"You can't even grow up."
"it is good."
Ji Ningyi's mood was also affected a little, Si Tian chatted with him, and Ji Ningyi finally asked softly: "Mom, if Pei Jing's mother doesn't want him anymore, can Pei Jing live in our house?"
Si Tian said, "If Pei Jing is willing."
After leaving Ji Ning's room, Si Tian went to see Pei Jing again.
But as soon as he opened the door, Pei Jing woke up. He opened his eyes and saw Si Tian: "Auntie."
Si Tian said: "How is it now, let's have some porridge later, it's boiling."
"Thank you, Auntie." Pei Jing's eyelashes flickered, the dim light fell on his face, there was a faint shadow under his eyes, his pale face was like porcelain, lacking some vitality.
His voice was soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something: "Auntie, there is no one in my family, is there?"
Although he is only seven years old, he already understands a lot, and Si Tian didn't hide it: "Yes."
Pei Jing was silent for a few seconds, his voice was rustling and a little astringent: "Auntie, my mother won't be back, is she?"
The tip of Si Tian's nose was sour for a moment. Facing this precocious child, it seemed that all concealment could be seen through. He knew that he was abandoned by his mother.
"I do not know either."
"Pei Jing, you can stay at our house and live with us. Ning Yi and Zhi Le both like you." Although it may be more difficult to coordinate the relationship between them with three children, Si Tian made a psychological decision. Prepare, she didn't say this on a whim.
If Pei Zhen doesn't come back, and Grandma Pei Jing doesn't have the ability to support her, she can adopt Pei Jing, and Pei Jing won't be hurt again. Ning Yi is willing to accept Pei Jing, and Zhi Le is also willing. She also has the material conditions to raise her again. a child.
But Pei Jing shook his head: "No, thank you, Auntie."
He said: "I still have a grandmother, I can live with my grandmother, it turned out that my grandmother brought me up, and my grandmother also likes me very much."
He told a little lie, and when he was leaving, grandma told him not to go back.
