Fang Zhiqiang drove back to Shanghai exhausted both physically and mentally. It was the New Year and he had to go back. Moreover, if Li Xiaoxiao was not here, it would be a waste of time for him to stay. Before leaving, he left a message asking everyone to continue looking for him. Once he found Li Xiaoxiao, he would express his gratitude. Then he returned alone, slowly passing by the original places along the way. At the same time, it was confirmed again that Li Xiaoxiao still had not been here.

She seemed to have completely disappeared. It turns out that a person can really leave so completely.

New Year’s Eve is approaching, and this is the most bleak year Fang Zhiqiang has ever lived. Liu Yan's belly is getting bigger day by day, and her parents have come to take care of her. The family will definitely celebrate the New Year together. Nie Qian, on the other hand, wants to follow Chen Qinghe back to his hometown. Even if he doesn't go back, he won't be able to celebrate the New Year with them. Wang Xia and Ran Yuming traveled to Europe, maybe Li Xiaoxiao went abroad... In short, only Fang Zhiqiang and his father were left to celebrate the New Year.

And Li Xiaoxiao’s parents were equally deserted. . Fang Zhiqiang visited Li Xiaoxiao's house with a gift, but was rejected by Li Xiaoxiao's mother. She could not accept it. Her daughter, who had recovered, was injured again and again at the hands of the same person, and her whereabouts are still unknown, and even... How could she accept that she didn't even come back for the New Year?

In fact, Fang Zhiqiang’s father also blamed Fang Zhiqiang. After all, he was already fine. When he saw the point of talking about marriage, his son was so angry that he ran away, and it was Xiaoxiao, so good. Fang Zhiqiang's father felt uncomfortable thinking about it, but looking at Fang Zhiqiang's dejected look and the hard work of looking for Li Xiaoxiao in the past few days, he couldn't say anything more.

On New Year’s Eve, my father still cooked a table full of dishes, but neither father nor son had any appetite, so they ate some hastily. Then his father started making dumplings, saying that according to custom, you have to live whatever you have to live. In fact, Fang Zhiqiang also knew that he just wanted to find something to do so that the family would not look so deserted.

His father was busy in the house, making noodles and chopping meat. Fang Zhiqiang wanted to help but he kicked him out: "When we make dumplings later, you can make them together." Fang Zhiqiang could only be bored. watching TV.

An entertainment channel on TV released news: Someone ran into Huang Wanting on the streets of Paris. She was holding a guitar and singing with a street singer. When she saw someone recognized her, she said hello with a smile. He did not refuse the request for a photo, but instead smiled and pulled the street singer beside him to take a photo with him. He was a very tall foreign young man with a bright and enthusiastic smile, and when he looked at Huang Wanting, his eyes were obviously full of love. Anyone can see that they are a pair of people who love each other very much.

Fang Zhiqiang stared at the TV screen blankly. After Huang Wanting said goodbye to him that night, she never contacted him again. Later he went to find HuanA health worker wanted to help his daughter with her illness, only to learn that Huang Wanting had taken her abroad for treatment. Fang Zhiqiang knew that curing the disease was only one aspect. The most important thing was that Huang Wanting wanted to leave the original world and start a new life, including forgetting him.

Now it seems that she has done it. She has finally found her own happiness in a foreign country. Her face on the screen has a bright smile that she has never seen before, as if she has never been hurt. Lived the same way.

Fang Zhiqiang couldn’t help but smile. No matter what, I wish you the best, old friend.

Then at this time, the phone rang. It was my father’s old phone. His father was making dough, and his hands were full of flour. He called to him anxiously: "Qiangzi, help me answer the phone." He didn't have time to see the number clearly, so he quickly picked up the phone: "Hello, hello."

There was only silence on the other end of the phone, and then he hung up quietly. Fang Zhiqiang said inexplicably: "It's Chinese New Year, and there are still harassing calls?" When he saw the place where the call was coming, it was his hometown in Sichuan, "That's not right, is this a relative calling?" He called again, but the call was already there. Shut down directly.

“Where did the phone call come from?” Dad raised his head and asked.

Fang Zhiqiang reported the place name, a very familiar place name, a small remote county. My father muttered it twice, then frowned: "It couldn't be your sister Xiaoping, right? Isn't her home over there? We haven't contacted her in so many years, so it's possible to make a call during the New Year."

Xiaoping is Fang Zhiqiang’s cousin, the one she grew up with. Fang Zhiqiang shook his head: "No, it's Sister Xiaoping. Why didn't you say anything and turned off the phone?"

"I guess the signal is not good. They are poor and mountainous, so it is normal for the signal to be poor. It's probably good if you can afford a mobile phone." His father said without raising his head, "I'll try again later."

But Fang Zhiqiang's mind was like a thunder, suddenly passing through Mind: He is so stupid, how could he forget such an important thing? He told Li Xiaoxiao before about his cousin and the poverty in that place. At that time, Li Xiaoxiao even made a note of the place and said that he must find a way to help the children there in the future.

This is also the place she wants to go the most, and the thing she wants to do the most. After Fang Zhiqiang came to his senses, he asked his father thoughtfully: "Dad, do you have the specific address of Sister Xiaoping's home?"

"Yes, what are you doing?" His father asked blankly.

“Give it to me quickly, I want to find Xiaoxiao.” Fang Zhiqiang said excitedly, “Xiaoxiao is at Sister Xiaoping’s house.”

“Really or not? "My father was completely stunned, and Fang Zhiqiang didn't even bother to say more.In one word, I packed my things and prepared for another long journey. It was New Year's Eve at this time, and planes and trains were out of the question. Besides, in the mountainous area like Sister Xiaoping's home, it would take me who knows how long to go back to her home, so I had to drive.

But in order to find Li Xiaoxiao, he did not care about anything. As for other things, we'll talk about the journey. Anyway, he is leaving now: "Dad, take care of yourself. I'll ask Lao Bi to come over and help take care of you later. I'll go back when I find Xiaoxiao in a few days."
< br /> His father looked at him and became anxious: "How do you know where Xiaoxiao is? Besides, if you are celebrating the New Year, you should wait until after the New Year."

"Dad, it's too late. I'll explain to you when I find Xiaoxiao." Fang Zhiqiang hurriedly carried a few thick clothes, went downstairs, started the car, and ran towards Sichuan.

In this way, Fang Zhiqiang hurriedly embarked on the road to find Li Xiaoxiao again before the year was over. This time he was very determined. The call must be from Li Xiaoxiao. She missed her father, so she called to say hello, but she didn't expect that she answered the call, so she hung up in a hurry.

Fang Zhiqiang just wanted to punch himself in the head: Why are you so stupid? I didn't even think of it until now.
