In the era without surveillance, the investigation of many cases was full of difficulties. Even in the provincial capital, cases could not be solved quickly.
Huang Xiaoan's surgery arrived as scheduled, and it took five hours before he was pushed out of the operating room by medical staff.
The surgical conditions at this time are relatively simple, but it is a large hospital in the provincial capital, so the bone correction surgery is quite successful. After recovery, Huang Xiaoan's bone distortion will be improved, and his appearance will be better. It will also be more convenient to move around.
Huang Dazhi accompanied him throughout the whole process. It was not until his brother was out of danger that he went to the pediatric department to see the baby girl with cleft lip. Since he made the decision to adopt the baby girl, he became more concerned about the child. He had never raised a child before, so He didn't know what to do, but after asking the pediatric nurse, he finally got some ideas about raising children, so he bought some baby clothes and absorbent cotton to make diapers for the children. .
He could have used old clothes to make diapers, but obviously Huang Dazhi had no old clothes to use at the moment.
Although the child was rescued, he is still in the hospital because of his physical weakness. He will wait until his body recovers before moving on.
If the baby's parents are found, the parents will take him back and raise him. If not, he will be sent to a children's welfare home.
Three days have passed, but the child's parents have still not been found.
At noon that day, Gao Mingcheng came to the hospital to see Huang Dazhi.
Recently, Gao Mingcheng travels to the provincial capital every day to load grain. Due to the reduction in grain production in the county, there is a huge food shortage. It is expected that he will have to travel for a few more days to finish loading.
"Dazhi, has your brother's surgery been completed? Is he doing well?" Gao Mingcheng didn't come empty-handed. He was carrying two things, one was malted milk and the other was an apple.
In the 1970s and 1980s, malted milk was a popular nutritional product and the best choice for gift giving. It was not until there were more and better products on the market that malted milk gradually declined.
In terms of nutrition in later generations, malted milk actually has average nutritional content and a lot of sugar.
But at this moment, if you give someone a can of malted milk, that's quite handy.
Huang Dazhi said with a smile: "The operation was successful. The doctor said that I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. It's just that it will take two months for the plaster on my foot to be removed."
Gao Mingcheng said immediately: "Have you asked the doctor whether it must be done at a hospital in the provincial capital or at a hospital in the county?"
Huang Dazhi was stunned. He never thought that this could happen.
If the plaster can be removed at the county hospital, it will naturally be more convenient.
"Okay, I'll ask the doctor later."
While the two were talking, they entered the ward where Huang Xiaoan was.
Huang Xiaoan is awake, but he has difficulty moving and can only lie on the bed. His deformity is quite serious. Both legs have been operated on and plastered. At this moment, he is as if he is paralyzed.
But his spirit was good. When he saw someone coming to visit him, Huang Xiaoan also showed a smile.
"Brother Mingcheng, thank you for coming to see me." Huang Xiaoan said sincerely.
Ever since the two brothers had a long conversation, Huang Xiaoan knew about the friendship between his brother and Gao Mingcheng. It was also at that time that Huang Xiaoan knew that Gao Mingcheng was a nobleman of his brother and their family.
Gao Mingcheng was stunned when he saw him like this.
He noticed a change in Huang Xiaoan. This child had always been gloomy before, seldom spoke, and had a weak sense of presence. But now, his eyebrows relaxed and his face became more energetic.
It's like I'm starting to have hope for life.
"Xiao An looks like this...can he be discharged from the hospital tomorrow? How about staying in the hospital for two more days?" Gao Mingcheng suggested.
This kind of surgery, if left to the future, would have to stay in the hospital for ten days and a half. Now he is actually discharged from the hospital.
Before Huang Dazhi could speak, Huang Xiaoan spoke first: "The doctor said he can be discharged from the hospital, so let's discharge him."
His voice was a little anxious, fearing that his brother would change his mind after listening to Gao Mingcheng's words.
These days, he can only lie in the hospital bed and can't go anywhere, but he also heard something and knew that his surgery would cost a lot of money, and staying in the hospital for one more day would cost a lot more money.
Therefore, during the doctor's rounds, Huang Xiaoan took the initiative to ask the doctor if he could be discharged early.
Doctors have encountered many requests for early discharge like this, because many people are now poor and cannot afford long-term hospitalization, and hospital beds are limited, so once the condition improves slightly, the hospital will discharge people go.
Huang Dazhi naturally knew what his brother meant, but he sighed helplessly: "The doctor said that the hospital bed should be vacated. He said that Xiao An's condition is stable and he will just take medicine."
Huang Dazhi was willing to spend a few more dollars, but the hospital wouldn't let him, and neither would Xiao An.
In this case, Gao Mingcheng will not say anything more.
"That's okay. When will you be discharged from the hospital tomorrow? I'll pick you up from the hospital after I've loaded the goods, okay?"
"Okay." Huang Dazhi said immediately.
After talking about this, Huang Dazhi talked about picking up the baby girl.
Gao Mingcheng listened and couldn't help but look at Huang Dazhi with a strange look. He remembered that when he took Huang Dazhi to Zhangshu for the first time to participate in the medicine fair, Huang Dazhi was as if he had a buff. He encountered many different people along the way. Few things.
But saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, which is always a good thing.
But when he heard that Huang Dazhi wanted to adopt a baby girl, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help frowning and said, "I personally don't recommend that you adopt."
Huang Dazhi was stunned. In his impression, Gao Mingcheng was not such a cold-blooded person.
Gao Mingcheng knew that Huang Dazhi was thinking wrongly, and he expressed his opinion: "Dazhi, you don't have a child yet, so you don't know how difficult it is to raise a child. Just think about it, a baby needs to drink milk seven or eight times a day, and it takes Change diapers more than a dozen times and scrub her body. Do you and your family really have the energy to take care of your child at this time?"
"Your parents are in poor health and are currently taking medication, and your brother needs the care of his family. As for you, you need to work in the police station. You have to stay in the police station most of the time every day, and you can't devote yourself to it." Taking care of the kids.”
"If you adopt your child back, she may receive even less care than in a children's welfare home!"
Huang Dazhi's expression froze, and Huang Xiaoan blinked helplessly.
The two brothers have already decided to adopt a child, but neither brother has thought about the details of raising a child.
Although Gao Mingcheng did not care about his family and was not a good father in his previous life, he had two children and knew some knowledge about raising children.
Huang Dazhi wanted to adopt this baby girl with cleft lips, and he had good intentions, but Huang Dazhi really didn't have the conditions to adopt. His family was too busy to take care of themselves, and he himself had to be busy with work, unless he was willing to spend money to hire a nanny to take care of the child.
But this would cost a lot, and there would also be rumors, which would affect Huang Dazhi's future blind dates.
Huang Dazhi's family conditions are not very good and he is not popular in the blind date market. If it is known that he has adopted a baby girl with cleft lip, the chance of a successful blind date will be even lower.
Seeing the disappointment on Huang Dazhi's face, Gao Mingcheng added: "The police haven't found the baby girl's parents yet. Maybe they will be able to find the baby girl's parents soon! Even if they are not found, they will be sent to children." It doesn’t matter if you go to an orphanage. If you really want to adopt, I suggest you make a decision after half a year."
"In half a year, your parents and your brother's health will improve, and they will have enough energy to take care of a child. When the child gets older, it will be easier to take care of them."
Gao Mingcheng also had a very practical reason that he didn't say, and that was that if things went well, Huang Dazhi would be able to have a successful blind date and get married smoothly within the next six months.
If Huang Dazhi gets married, then his wife can also help take care of the children. Only with the concerted efforts of everyone can the children be raised well.
As for the cleft lip, I am not afraid of this. When the child is three to five years old, the domestic technology for treating cleft lip and palate has also improved, and then he can be brought to the provincial capital for surgery.
In fact, the best treatment time for cleft lip and palate is three months to six months. However, the current domestic technology for treating cleft lip and palate is not good enough. If the cleft lip and palate is serious, you have to try even if the technology is not good, but Huang Dazhi said that the woman Cleft lip and palate in infants is less severe.
In this case, if the operation is performed before the child becomes sensible, it will not affect his subsequent reading and making friends.
Huang Dazhi and Huang Xiaoan felt enlightened after listening to Gao Mingcheng's suggestion.
At first, they thought too simply and did not think about these realistic things at all.
After being told off by Gao Mingcheng, Huang Dazhi realized belatedly that he really couldn't adopt a child now.
His brother had just had surgery, and his parents had to take care of him, but what about him?
Thinking that he spent 12 of the 24 hours a day at the police station, he fell silent.
After a long time, Huang Dazhi sighed and could only bow to reality.
He looked at Gao Mingcheng gratefully and felt that Gao Mingcheng was really a good mentor and friend in his life, preventing him from making hasty decisions.
So he said: "My thinking was too shallow. You are right. In half a year, I will come to the provincial capital again. If the child does not find her parents and is sent to a children's welfare home, I will find a way to adopt her. "
This time Gao Mingcheng nodded and said in agreement: "That's the right thing to do. The police are still investigating the case. If you propose adoption, they won't let you go."
Huang Dazhi thought about it, it was indeed the case.
But before returning to the county town, he still had to go to the police station to inquire about the progress of the investigation and the procedures required to adopt a child.
He thought about this and said it out, but this time Gao Mingcheng had nothing to suggest because he had never adopted a child!
Oh, I’ve heard of people adopting children, but then, it’s a mess!
Because that person adopted an unwanted baby girl from a nearby family. She was well raised at first, but when the girl grew up, her biological parents actually came and recognized each other!
What's even more disgusting is that the girl left her adoptive parents under the instigation of her biological parents and married a man found by her biological parents.
As for the bride price, haha!
