After eating and cleaning up the kitchen, the children were coaxed to sleep by them.

Han Mingxiu was thinking about going to a few other households to have a look. Seeing that the child was asleep, she entrusted the second sister to her and went out to do errands by herself.

At this point, it was time for them to come back for lunch and take a nap. Han Mingxiu quickened his pace and went to Director Cui's house, which is closest to the second sister's house.

When they got there, Director Cui's family of three was having a meal. Han Mingxiu's arrival was naturally warmly welcomed by them.

"Xiu'er, long time no see, why are you back?" Director Cui's daughter-in-law pulled Han Mingxiu affectionately and dragged her to the dining table. He also instructed his son to go to the kitchen to get a pair of tableware and let Sister Xiu eat with them.

Just as Cui Lianjie was about to get up to get it, he was stopped by Han Mingxiu. "Auntie, I've already eaten, you don't need to worry about me, you can eat by yourself."

Director Cui said with a smile: "As the saying goes, when you cross the threshold, eat a bowl. Since you have entered the threshold of my house, you can eat as much as you want."

In this era, food is still relatively precious. Anyone who can let others eat a bowl of rice in their own home is a great favor. Director Cui's husband and wife don't earn much grain and rice every month, and they have to raise a half-old son. It is not easy for others to eat a bowl of rice at her house.

Han Mingxiu knew that their family was in short supply of food and could not bear to eat their food. Moreover, she just finished eating, and she wasn't hungry at all. Even if she was hungry, a person as picky as her would not be able to eat the black sorghum noodles.

"I really don't want to eat, I'll come to see you, and I'll leave in a while. I haven't been there yet, how can I have time to eat!"

Hearing what she said, Director Cui was startled for a while, and the originally enthusiastic smile became a little stiff.

Han Mingxiu realized that something was wrong with them, and said seriously, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Factory Manager Cui smiled bitterly and said, "It's not wrong. Among us, there are only our family, Lao Gao's family, and Lao Zhou's family. The rest have all been rehabilitated."

"Yeah! He Li, Manager Cui, Xiao Wang, and Big Sister Su have all gone back. Now there are only three of our families left here. Sigh!" Speaking of this, Director Cui's daughter-in-law's mood suddenly changed. very low.

Originally, they were all sinners like them, and everyone could hold a group together to keep warm. Now, everyone has been rehabilitated and returned to their original life. There are only a few of them left here, and they continue to be the sinners that thousands of people refer to. This huge gap would be unbearable for anyone!

When Han Mingxiu heard that everyone had gone back, he was very happy for them. After seeing the disappointment on the faces of the couple, he comforted: "Since so many people have gone back all at once, it is enough to prove that the current situation is no longer the same. It was so strict in the past, don’t worry, just wait, it will take a year and a half at most, and you can also go back.”

No one knows this better than her, but she just can't tell them directly.

However, her comfort did not improve the mood of Director Cui and the couple. When this topic was mentioned, both of them became lonely, and several people exuded a depressed atmosphere.

That's right, most of the people who came together have gone back, and the three families of them haven't asked anyone to go back, how can they be so happy?

Han Mingxiu comforted them a few more words, left something for them, and went to visit Uncle Zhou.

When she arrived at Uncle Zhou's house, Uncle Zhou came out to open the door for her. Uncle Zhou was very happy to see Han Mingxiu back.

They haven't seen Han Mingxiu for more than a year. The couple miss Han Mingxiu, just like parents miss a daughter who is married far away. However, for special reasons, they couldn't communicate with her, so they had to hide their misses and worries in deep. In my heart, I silently bless her.

Now, seeing their daughter come back safely, the couple no longer need to worry or worry about it, they are naturally very happy.

After sitting down, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou began to ask her about her days in the Black Province.

Through chatting, he found that Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou's emotions were not as sluggish as those of Director Cui's family, and they were still chatting and laughing as before, casual and natural.

Han Mingxiu didn't realize that he secretly admired that he was a person who did a great cause.

Han Mingxiu secretly praised Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, and at the same time admired them even more.

After chatting for a while, Aunt Zhou suddenly said to Han Mingxiu with a bit of embarrassment: "Xiuer, Auntie wants to ask you something, I don't know if you can help, if we can, we are naturally grateful. If so, don't be embarrassed."

Han Mingxiu hurriedly said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely try my best to help you do it."

Aunt Zhou nodded and said, "Auntie is a little embarrassed to speak about this matter. If you do this for Auntie, you won't be able to benefit from it, and you will have to provide money and support. Gotta get on with it..."

Han Mingxiu laughed when he heard it: "It's so challenging, then I really have to try it, what the hell is going on?"

Aunt Zhou said, "This matter has something to do with my son."

Han Mingxiu was stunned. She had known Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou for several years, and this was the first time she heard them talk about their children.

"You and I have a son, Uncle Zhou, who is seventeen this year. Back then, Uncle Zhou and I were suddenly arrested for interrogation and sent here. We don't know what's going on at home. I don't know where the child is, if something happened..."

Speaking of which, Aunt Zhou lowered her head sadly, unable to continue.

As a mother, she has not seen her son for so many years, and has no news of her, can she not worry?

Han Mingxiu said, "Auntie, do you want me to help you find your son and send a letter to your son?"

Aunt Zhou said: "The capital is thousands of miles away from here, and I didn't want to trouble you, but two days ago, Uncle Zhou and I dreamed about the child at the same time. I dreamed that the child was sick now, very ill. You and Uncle Zhou are very worried."

"But, you know our situation, we can't go back, and we can't find the right person to help us take a look at the child... So, so..."
