The next day, Gao Mingcheng came to the hospital to pick him up as scheduled.
There were fewer people on the bus this time, so there was no need to squeeze in the back. Three people could squeeze into the front of the bus. Huang Xiaoan was thin and small. Sitting there with his brother, it was not crowded at all, because he had difficulty moving and had to rely on a bicycle. His brother helped stabilize the body.
On the way, Gao Mingcheng concentrated on driving, while Huang Dazhi talked about the latest developments in the baby abandonment case.
Because it was Huang Dazhi who saved the child and had caught a thief before, the provincial police station had a good sense of him. When he went to ask, the other party was willing to tell him.
"The police haven't found the baby girl's parents yet, but because harelips are hereditary, they are currently investigating this. As for the child, after a doctor's examination, it was determined that she has recovered, so she was temporarily sent to a children's welfare home. .”
"I asked about the specific address of the orphanage and will go there to check the situation. I also asked questions about adoption, and I was told that only if I am sure that the parents of the child cannot be found can I go through the adoption procedures."
After saying the last sentence, Huang Dazhi also breathed a sigh of relief.
He cannot adopt the child for the time being. His own family situation does not allow it. The police are still investigating the case, so he cannot adopt the child yet.
Gao Mingcheng listened and said: "In fact, it's better to find parents who can't find their children. Parents who can abandon their children. Even if they are found and let them take their children back, what will the children get? It's also here in the provincial capital. Only then would the child be abandoned. In the past, in our countryside, some babies who gave birth to baby girls were killed directly."
Huang Dazhi sighed slightly when he heard this.
Yes, let alone cleft lip, even normal baby girls have been drowned.
This topic was a bit heavy, so Huang Dazhi stopped mentioning it and asked, "Mingcheng, have you bought all the decoration materials?"
Gao Mingcheng said: "I have bought everything! I have started to install it. When you are free, you can go and take a look. I have been traveling to the provincial capital during this period. I will make a few trips to Yangcheng later. I plan to enter from Yangcheng. Order the goods, we have to open before the end of the year.”
Huang Dazhi didn't understand business matters, but he was very convinced of Gao Mingcheng and felt that what Gao Mingcheng did was definitely not wrong.
Someone was talking on the road, and time seemed to fly by. Gao Mingcheng had been traveling to the provincial capital every day during this period, and he was very familiar with the roads. He chose to walk where the road conditions were good, and the bumpy feeling of the car was reduced a lot.
Huang Xiaoan was very quiet, listening to their conversation while looking at the scenery outside the window.
Last time, he was sitting in the car, and due to the limited field of vision, he could only see the scenery that was continuously regressing. But now, sitting at the front of the car, he could see the scenery in front of him, and he could also see the scenery that was regressing from the side windows.
The change in vision brought him a full sense of freshness.
Because the road went smoothly, the car entered the county town at around four o'clock in the afternoon, drove the truck to the cargo owner's warehouse, and had people arranged by the cargo owner to unload the goods.
Huang Xiaoan had difficulty moving, so he kept sitting at the front of the car. Gao Mingcheng and Huang Dazhi took the opportunity to get out of the car and stretch their bodies.
After the goods were unloaded, Gao Mingcheng drove the car towards Gaojiacun.
Being a driver has this advantage, it can make things convenient for you. What's more, Gao Mingcheng and Xiao Jinfeng have a close relationship. When he wants to use the car, Xiao Jinfeng never says a word.
More than twenty minutes later, the car arrived at Junling. Huang Dazhi carried his younger brother out of the car, while Gao Mingcheng helped carry some of his belongings.
There is little farm work in winter, so Huang Dazhi's parents were at home. When they saw the truck from a distance, they were already looking forward to it. When they saw Huang Dazhi walking over with Huang Xiaoan in his arms, the two of them rushed forward excitedly.
"Xiao An, are you okay?" Huang Dazhi's mother asked nervously.
Huang Xiaoan smiled at her and said, "I'm fine. The operation was successful. The doctor said that after the plaster is removed, I can just exercise more."
Huang Xiaoan's smile stunned his parents.
You know, due to Huang Xiaoan's own disability, he rarely smiles. Now seeing his smile, his parents feel extremely unreal.
But after the shock, his mother's eyes immediately turned red. Women are more emotional and sensitive. She knew that her little son had changed for the better.
"As long as you succeed, hey, stop talking standing up, Dazhi, put your brother on the bed quickly!"
With the busy work of the three of them, Huang Xiaoan lay on the bed smoothly.
After riding in the car for several hours, Huang Xiaoan felt comfortable all over when he lay down now, but he would have to lie in bed for two months.
Huang Dazhi said to him: "Don't worry, I will ask a carpenter to make a wheelchair for you. When the weather is good, you can ask your parents to push you out for a walk."
"Well, okay! Thank you, brother!" Huang Xiaoan was grateful and said obediently.
There are carpenters in Junling. Gao Mingcheng's beehives, wardrobes, etc. were all made by carpenters here. As for the wheelchair, the method is actually simple. You only need to install wheels on a chair. The methods of carpenters in the countryside are rough, but they are enough. Just be practical.
After Gao Mingcheng sent the person home, he said goodbye and left.
He drove the truck and walked all the way towards Gaojiacun.
I haven't been home for a few days, and I can ask my wife to pay for the "public food" again!
Gao Mingcheng was in a great mood, but he didn't expect to be stopped by his father before he saw his wife.
Gao Yuanyuan happened to be walking on the road with a hoe on his shoulder. He saw Gao Mingcheng driving a truck back and immediately waved him to stop.
Gao Yuanyuan said: "Today is your grandma's birthday, and you just happened to be back. Come to my house for dinner tonight!"
Gao Mingcheng was stunned for a few seconds, feeling a little guilty.
He really forgot what day his grandma’s birthday was!
Well, let alone his grandma's birthday, even his parents' birthdays, he couldn't remember clearly.
Feeling guilty but never showing it on his face, Gao Mingcheng said calmly: "Okay, I'll park the car first, and I'll go there with Duomei later."
Gao Yuanyuan naturally agreed, so he carried the hoe home, while Gao Mingcheng drove his truck and parked at Niuweiling.
It was almost six o'clock now, and it was getting dark. There were lights on in the house, and rustling sounds could be heard from the kitchen, which seemed to be cooking.
Gao Mingcheng quickly walked into the kitchen and saw Duomei cooking.
He couldn't help but said: "Today is my grandma's birthday. Didn't they ask you to come over for dinner?"
Duo Mei blinked innocently and said, "I didn't know it was grandma's birthday."
The implication was that no one called her.
Okay, this happened often in my previous life, so Gao Mingcheng stopped worrying and just said, "I'm going to celebrate grandma's birthday later, so you can go too."
Duo Mei hesitated and said, "But I have already cut all the vegetables."
"Fry it and save it for tomorrow!" Gao Mingcheng said simply. The weather is cold now, and the overnight dishes will not go rancid.
Besides, Gao Mingcheng suspected that these dishes might not wait overnight.
After all, he came back suddenly, and he didn’t know if the food prepared by his parents was enough!
