The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

Da Yingzi looked up and saw what was in her hand. She quickly grabbed it and looked at it over and over again. Suddenly, she grabbed her and asked anxiously, "Director Zhu, where did you get this patch? This... this is from Xiaowei..."

"Are you sure?" Zhu Xiaomin asked.

Da Yingzi nodded repeatedly: "My mother has poor eyesight and her needlework is rough. She sewed this patch on. I originally said that I would take it off and sew it again, but Xiaowei said it was not necessary..." She couldn't help crying as she spoke.

"Do you remember where it was patched?"

Da Yingzi blushed slightly, "It was patched on... on the buttocks. Boys are naughty, so their knees and buttocks get torn the fastest." Then she asked, "Director Zhu, where did you find him? Is my brother really in the first team?"

The patch is on the buttocks, and if the boy's hands are tied behind his back, it will just reach that position.

Zhu Xiaomin thought for a moment, and then felt a little uneasy when she thought of the bloodstains not far from the cloth, but she didn't dare to say it directly. She just said, "We found this cloth on the mountain when we were looking for Director Huang. Since you can be sure it was from your brother, maybe he tore it off and left it for us. We have someone chasing him, so can you wait and not argue with Qian Zhuzi for the evidence?"

Da Yingzi's eyes showed some surprise, and she held her hand tremblingly: "Xiaowei is fine, I... of course I won't marry him, but... but I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Zhu Xiaomin advised: "Since their goal is to get you to marry Qian Zhuzi, they won't do anything to your brother. You can delay it for a while and buy some time for our people, okay?"

Da Yingzi hesitated and looked back at the door.

Zhu Xiaomin understood what she was thinking and said, "Don't worry, Qian Zhuzi is not a bad person. He should be kept in the dark. Now you can find an excuse. He won't force you."

Dayingzi breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and nodded slightly.

When Zhu Xiaomin saw that she agreed, she breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door and came out.

When the matchmaker saw this, she pushed Huang Xiaojuan aside and rushed over, shouting through her to Da Yingzi inside: "Alright, alright, go get the certificate."

Da Yingzi shrank back and looked at Zhu Xiaomin.

Zhu Xiaomin waved to Qian Zhuzi: "Come here."

Qian Zhuzi hurried over and asked in confusion, "Director Zhu, what's the matter?"

Zhu Xiaomin motioned for him to go in, closed the door, and stood outside.

The matchmaker stood on tiptoe and looked inside: "Director Zhu, after you finish speaking, let them go and get the marriage certificate. They can talk about anything at any time."

Zhu Xiaomin stood still and said, "Third Auntie, getting the certificate is just a matter of stamping. There's no rush. If they have anything to say, they should make it clear before getting the certificate."

The matchmaker exclaimed, "This is considered a good day. It would be unlucky to miss it."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie San. They are also looking forward to a good life."

The matchmaker was anxious, but she didn't dare to push Zhu Xiaomin away. She could only straighten her neck and yell, "Zhuzi, Da Yingzi, come out as soon as you've agreed. We can only get the marriage certificate in the morning. It's unlucky in the afternoon."

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Qian Zhuzi to open the door and come out. He turned around to look at Dayingzi and said to the matchmaker, "Third Auntie, let's not get the certificate today. Let's go back." After that, he walked out.

The matchmaker was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Zhu Zi, what's wrong with you? We were all fine." She chased him a few steps and turned back to call Da Yingzi, "Da Yingzi, what are you doing? Hurry up and stop him."

Da Yingzi stood there with her lips pursed, not saying anything.

The matchmaker slapped her thigh and went after Qian Zhuzi again, but Qian Zhuzi didn't even turn his head and had already walked away in big strides. She stamped her feet anxiously, turned back and asked Da Yingzi, "What did you say to him?"

Da Yingzi lowered her head and still didn't say anything, but she glanced at Zhu Xiaomin unconsciously.

The matchmaker immediately glared at Zhu Xiaomin and said, "Director Zhu, it is really immoral to ruin someone's marriage."

Zhu Xiaomin disagreed: "The country advocates freedom of marriage. If they want to get married, I can't stop them."

The matchmaker turned to Da Yingzi and said, "Da Yingzi, have you thought about this?"

Da Yingzi was silent for a while, and finally looked up at her: "I... I just want to make some things clear before getting the marriage certificate. I didn't say I won't get married."

The matchmaker was suspicious: "What's the matter?"

Da Yingzi bit her lip and said, "I want to bring the betrothal gift before we get the marriage certificate, and... and..." At this point, she clenched the patch in her pocket and whispered, "My brother has to see me off when I get married."

The matchmaker was surprised: "You said this to Zhuzi?"

Da Yingzi shook her head: "I talked to Brother Zhuzi about the betrothal gift, and I talked to Grandma San about my brother's wedding."

This means that you need money and people before getting married.

The matchmaker listened and felt relieved. She nodded and said, "The first team has a good life. How can the Qian family not come up with the gift? What are you worried about? Wait until the gift is paid and then you can get the marriage certificate?"

Da Yingzi nodded: "Yes!"

The matchmaker was relieved and turned around and left: "Third Auntie will do it for you."

Seeing the matchmaker leave the brigade yard, Zhu Xiaomin breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and asked Da Yingzi: "I want to go to the elementary school to take a look, do you want to go?"

Da Yingzi knew that she wanted to find out her brother's whereabouts, so she naturally followed her and nodded quickly.

The Fifth Brigade Primary School enrolled students from the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Brigade. It was located in the newly built yard next to the brigade headquarters. The two teachers here were Bai Zhiru and Cao Liqing.

It was mid-morning at this time. Two people were teaching the children in two classrooms. They saw Zhu Xiaomin and a few others coming in, followed by Da Yingzi. They realized that they were here to talk about Xiaowei's disappearance, so they said a few words to the children and then left one after another.

Following the two into the office, Zhu Xiaomin asked, "I want to know if Xiaowei had any abnormalities before he disappeared?"

Cao Liqing shook her head: "Xiaowei is in the second grade, and I have been taking care of him. He is smart and sensible. Although he is naughty sometimes, he is not out of line. On the day he disappeared, I saw him leaving with several other children from the same village, and they waved to me together."

In other words, there is nothing abnormal!

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "Can I ask other children in the same village?"

Bai Zhiru nodded and went to call the four children over.

Zhu Xiaomin asked about what happened that day again and silently observed the expressions of several children. She did not find anything unusual in any of them, and what they said was the same as what Da Yingzi had said.

In other words, Xiaowei’s disappearance has nothing to do with these children.

After letting the children go back, Cao Liqing said anxiously, "Sister Xiaomin, it's been several days. Could this child... this child have encountered a wild animal in the mountains?"

Da Yingzi immediately shook her head: "It's broad daylight, even if there are wild animals, they won't attack people actively, not to mention that several children didn't hear any sound."

Zhu Xiaomin patted her back soothingly and said to Cao Liqing, "Although they took a small path, the paths between villages are often used by villagers. The possibility of wild animals appearing is indeed small. We are just imagining various possibilities now."

Cao Liqing nodded and said sincerely: "I hope he is okay."
