After leaving the train station, Huang Dazhi found a place to take the bus, and then asked someone about which bus to take to Fusheng Road. After a lot of trouble, he finally got on the minibus bound for Fusheng Road.
The welfare home in the provincial capital is on Fusheng Road. He got the specific address from the case handler last time.
After half a year, Huang Dazhi came to check on the abandoned baby as he had said.
The moment he took the abandoned baby out of the trash can, he felt an inexplicable connection between himself and the abandoned baby.
At that time, he decided to adopt the defective abandoned baby, but in the end he did not adopt it immediately. First, the police had to find the parents of the abandoned baby, and second, his own situation was not suitable for adopting a newborn child immediately.
Gao Mingcheng once advised him to come back for adoption after half a year.
Now half a year has passed. His younger brother Huang Xiaoan is recovering well from the surgery, and he has married a kind-hearted wife.
Before setting off, he told Luo Li about this matter and asked for Luo Li's opinion.
After hearing this, Luo Li did not object, but was very supportive. She even said: "Now you and I are both working, and we can't take care of the children. But when the children get older, they can be sent to the county to study."
As soon as Huang Dazhi heard this, he knew that he had made the right choice in choosing Luo Li as his wife.
My body swayed with the minibus. About half an hour later, the car stopped on the side of the road.
The conductor's voice sounded: "Fusheng Road is here, if you want to get off, get off quickly!"
The car door had been opened, and Huang Dazhi got out of the car in two or three steps.
He stood on the unfamiliar roadside and looked around, looking for the direction of the orphanage.
In the end, he successfully found the orphanage after asking several passers-by.
The orphanage does not appear dilapidated. On the contrary, with the support of the state, everything is in good condition. The country has relevant policies and will raise these abandoned children.
Most of the abandoned children are sick.
Huang Dazhi found the person in charge of the welfare home and explained his purpose.
The person in charge is a woman in her forties. She seems to have a good personality and speaks in a gentle voice.
After verifying Huang Dazhi's identity, she said: "The police sent Xiaoguai over half a year ago, but they never picked him up again. Probably because they haven't found Xiaoguai's parents yet. A situation like Xiaoguai's , Nine times out of ten, the parents will not be found, and even if they are found, they will not be picked up."
Xiaoguai is the abandoned baby with hare lips.
Because the child was so well-behaved and quiet, he was named this way.
Huang Dazhi met Xiaoguai. The six-month-old Xiaoguai had grown a lot and was very different from when he was born. If it weren't for the obvious hare lips, Huang Dazhi might not have recognized it.
A six-month-old baby cannot sit or crawl yet, but can already roll over. In order to prevent the baby from falling out of bed, the orphanage simply spreads a mat on the ground and puts the baby on the mat.
Next to Xiaoguai, there were several children, large and small, lying there. The older ones could already crawl, while the younger ones looked to be only two or three months old.
Huang Dazhi looked at Xiaoguai, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart. He had never raised children, but when he was in Junling, he had seen children from other families in the same village.
He felt that Xiaoguai looked a little dazed. When he appeared, Xiaoguai clearly saw him, but he didn't have much expression. This made Huang Dazhi begin to guess whether Xiaoguai had other problems.
So he asked.
The person in charge immediately said: "All the children in our hospital have undergone physical examinations. Except for the cleft lip, everything else about Xiao Guai is normal."
"Our welfare home is funded by the government, and the children's livelihood and medical care are guaranteed. However, our home is short of manpower. Each of us has to take care of the daily life of many children, so for these babies, generally I won't hug them."
"Every child will cry for a long time when they first come, but then they will become quieter when they know that crying can't change anything."
The person in charge sighed, their orphanage only had five staff members, but there were more than sixty children, so the older children also had to help take care of the younger ones.
When Huang Dazhi heard this, he suddenly thought of what happened a long time ago.
He was only four years old at that time and already had memories. His younger brother Huang Xiaoan was also born at that time. He remembered that his younger brother loved to cry, but his parents were busy working in the fields. In addition to feeding his younger brother and changing diapers, he also I rarely hug my younger brother.
Even though his younger brother later contracted polio, his parents didn't pay much attention at first. When his condition became serious, they hurriedly took him to see a doctor, but it was already too late.
Memories flashed through his mind, and Huang Dazhi's eyes fell on Xiaoguai again. He said, "Dean, if my brother wants to adopt Xiaoguai, what procedures do he need to go through?"
The person in charge said: "It is not easy to adopt a child, but you and Xiaoguai have a relationship, and Xiaoguai is in such a situation, basically no one else will adopt him."
"Let's do this. You go to the police station first and ask about Xiaoguai's biological parents. After confirming that he is an orphan, you can go through the adoption procedures."
The orphanage's shortage of manpower and Xiaoguai's special situation made Huang Dazhi's adoption journey very smooth.
Of course, this has something to do with his career.
Next, Huang Dazhi went to the nearby police station and found the police officer who had handled Xiaoguai's case.
The police officers all have good memories, and the other party quickly recognized Huang Dazhi, and the two went aside to talk.
Soon, Huang Dazhi learned that the police had not found Xiaoguai's biological parents. Now, half a year later, it was basically confirmed that he was an orphan.
Next, Huang Dazhi stayed in the provincial capital for a day and got the relevant documents.
The next morning, he carried Xiaoguai and headed to the train station.
Because he knew that there were many people in the train station, Huang Dazhi was very cautious this time and did not let those people get close.
After entering the waiting room, Huang Dazhi fed Xiaoguai one more time before getting in the car.
These milk bottles and milk powder were newly bought by him because he found that the milk bottles in the orphanage looked old and were used by several children.
Xiao Guai lives up to her name and is easy to guide along the way. Although she has a cleft lip and is inconvenient to suck, there is still no problem with bottle feeding, and children who are half a year old can also start taking complementary foods.
While he was feeding the child, someone looked over curiously.
People have instinctive fear and rejection of people with deformities and disabilities. Huang Dazhi noticed these glances and his face darkened.
He looked down at Xiaoguai and decided to take Xiaoguai to the hospital for surgery in a few years.
He didn't want Xiaoguai to live in strange eyes all the time.
All the way back to the county, Huang Dazhi rode his bicycle non-stop and sent Xiaoguai back to his home in Junling.
He made a sling out of a large piece of cloth and put the child on his back, so that it would not hinder him from riding his bicycle. When he arrived at Junling, he found that the child had fallen asleep on his back.
Along the way, the child didn't make much sound except for the occasional hum.
"Brother, you brought the child back? Let me see!" Huang Xiaoan looked at the child in Huang Dazhi's arms expectantly.
Huang Dazhi handed the child to him and whispered: "Her nickname is Xiaoguai. You give her a good name, and then find time to register for residence."
Huang Xiaoan took the child steadily and noticed the child's cleft lip at first sight.
He had only heard his elder brother say this before, but he had never seen it himself. Now that he saw it, he couldn't help but take a closer look.
He himself is deformed and disabled in his legs, so he doesn't feel as uncomfortable with the cleft lip as others do.
He stared at it carefully and smiled: "It looks a bit like a rabbit's mouth! It's quite cute when it's small."
"Brother, I don't have much education and I don't know how to choose a name. It's up to you to choose her name."
Huang Dazhi did not agree, but said: "Think about it for yourself first."
While the two brothers were talking, their mother came back from the fields. When she saw the child in Huang Xiaoan's hand, Huang's mother also curiously leaned over to take a look.
After just one glance, she curled her lips in disgust and said: "Dazhi, even if I want to adopt a child for your brother, I can't adopt her! Look how ugly she looks! There are often unwanted girls in our neighborhood, so just go and adopt her." It’s okay to come back alone, and you’re still very healthy!”
Huang Dazhi frowned. He knew the character of his parents, so he didn't explain much, but said forcefully: "Mom, I bought some cotton cloth. You can find time to make a change of clothes for the little boy."
The fabric used to make the straps was actually ripped cotton. After the straps were made, it was easy to make clothes again.
Basically, there is no need to call a tailor to make baby clothes like this, because it is relatively simple and can be made by the women at home.
"I know." Although Huang's mother was dissatisfied with adopting a disabled child, she was now used to listening to her eldest son's words, so she instinctively agreed.
Huang Dazhi continued: "I bought a baby bottle and milk powder. When the little girl is hungry, you can make milk powder for her. In addition, she can also eat some porridge and rotten noodles."
Hearing this, Huang Ma said confidently: "I have already raised two sons, do I still need your teaching?"
Huang Dazhi remained silent, but his eyes were full of suspicion.
He has no memory of what he went through when he was a child, but he knows what his brother went through when he was a child!
Finally, he said to Huang Xiaoan: "Xiaoan, raise her well. If you need help, just ask."
Huang Xiaoan hugged the child and smiled with a relaxed expression: "She is my daughter, so I will naturally take good care of her. I also hope that she will provide for me in my old age in the future."
After arranging Xiaoguai's affairs, Huang Dazhi returned to the county without stopping. He only took two days off and had to go to work tomorrow.
So when Gao Mingcheng came back, he knew that Huang Dazhi had done something big.
That evening, when Huang Dazhi came to pick up Luo Li from get off work, he happened to see Gao Mingcheng back, so the two sat at the table in the backyard and talked about this experience.
After listening, Gao Mingcheng said: "I heard a saying that it is said that looking back five hundred times in the past life is the only way to pass this life. You and that child are destined, and it is good to become a family now. Today's medical care Technology is improving every day. When your child is two years old, you can take your child to a hospital in the province to see what the doctor says. Treat it early and it will be cured early. Children in the province are laughed at, which affects their temperament."
Huang Dazhi nodded, he thought so too.
The two chatted about something else, and then Huang Dazhi took Luo Li home.
On the way, Luo Li said: "I asked Duomei Zao, and she said I could use the sewing machine in the store. I plan to buy some fabric tomorrow and make some clothes for Xiaoguai."
"Okay, in a few days, it will be the day of vacation. I will take you back to have a look at it. The child is indeed very well-behaved, but also very pitiful." Huang Dazhi said.
Luo Li said: "She is not pitiful, she is very lucky. When her life was in danger, she met you and regained her life. When no one cared about her, you gave her a warm family."
Huang Dazhi looked at Luo Li in surprise, glanced at her up and down, and said exaggeratedly: "Your speaking skills are getting better and better now, and you can use idioms!"
Luo Li pursed her lips and glared at him with a smile, and said, "When Shufang is fine these days, she will recite articles loudly. I listened and memorized some words."
"That's good. You might as well recite the article with her next time." Huang Dazhi said with a smile. He thought this method should have been proposed by Gao Mingcheng, but the effect must be pretty good. No, Luo Li was listening. , all memorized some idioms, and their speaking level has obviously improved a lot.
Here, Huang Dazhi and his wife are talking, and over there Gao Mingcheng and his wife are also talking.
Duomei's belly gradually grew bigger, and the pants she wore before were already a little tight, so she decided to buy some cloth to make some pairs of pants.
Pregnant women should wear loose and comfortable clothes, but although the clothes in the store are good-looking and flattering, they are not suitable for pregnant women.
Duo Mei said while taking stock of the inventory: "Today Luo Li said that she would use the sewing machine in the store to make some clothes for Xiao An's adopted child. I think I should prepare it for the child too!"
Gao Mingcheng glanced at Duo Mei's belly and said, "Isn't it a little early?"
Duo Meizi said: "It's not early! I calculated the date and it should be around October. The weather is very good at that time, neither cold nor hot, which is the best time to raise a child! I have to put on the child's clothes now." , diapers, and bedding are all prepared, which will save you from having a big belly later and making it inconvenient to do things."
She has a plan in everything she says and does, because after she became pregnant, she specifically talked to people who had given birth and raised children, and she knew some of the changes that would happen to her body after the third trimester of pregnancy.
So you need to prepare everything in advance.
Gao Mingcheng didn't have much say in this, so he said: "You can make arrangements. I will take care of the inventory. You can go down. The smell is strong here."
Duo Mei was obedient and went downstairs first.
Gao Mingcheng stayed in the warehouse on the third floor, counting the inventory and writing down the data, so that he could know the inventory situation just by looking at the data.
When doing business, you need to take stock regularly so that you can clear out inventory in a timely manner. If there are certain styles that you have hoarded, you need to organize activities to sell them at special prices so that you can stop losses in time.
