Taozi's phone call was very brief; she just said a few words and then hung up with a puzzled expression.
"What did Xiao Shen say?" The couple saw her expression and quickly asked.
Taozi didn't answer the question but instead glanced around their living room and then softly called out.
"Dou Dou."
Then a chubby arm stretched out from behind Taozi's chair.
"I'm here."
Jiang Hongtu and his wife were startled, and Qi Huilan clutched Jiang Hongtu's arm tightly, leaning against him.
"It's Dou Dou, our own family, don't be afraid," Jiang Hongtu comforted her as he held her hand.
He said the words, but his voice trembled a bit, clearly less composed than he had claimed to be.
Taozi was naturally unafraid and turned around to grab her arm, lifting her up.
Only now did Jiang Hongtu and his wife see the full picture. Who else could it be but their Dou Dou? Those eyes, that nose, that adorable little face, looked exactly the same as before, unchanged.
