"Little beast!" Grandpa Shi couldn't help roaring, his eyes widened, and he was about to hit Shi Mingwei.
Shi Mingwei didn't notice anything was wrong with his grandfather at all. He stepped forward and grabbed his grandfather and said, but before he could say anything, his grandfather grabbed his ear.
"You brat, what good have you done?" Grandpa said angrily.
Brother-in-law Shi Jianbo had a look on his face that he couldn't bear to look at.
"Grandpa, why did you hit me?" Shi Mingwei looked innocent, he really didn't know anything.
"Grandpa Shi, we found a child." Ling Xiaowei stood up and said.
Yeah! Grandpa Shi was stunned for a moment, and Shi Jianbo touched his nose.
Grandpa Shi glared at Shi Jianbo. Shi Jianbo avoided Grandpa Shi's eyes and was distracted. He didn't say anything. It's dad, you are not simple-minded.
Grandpa Shi kicked Shi Jianbo on the butt and said angrily: "Get out of here, stay out of the house."
"Dad, look at the child." Shi Jianbo hurriedly ran to the mat and glanced at the child on the mat.
It's really too small.
"This is a newborn baby!" Grandpa Shi recognized it at a glance as he was a stranger.
"Grandpa, we picked it up in the field. It was very dirty. Xiaowei helped her wash it. It's a baby girl. We even fed her." Shi Mingwei said excitedly.
"What did you feed me?" Grandpa Shi asked nervously.
"It's rice soup." Ling Xiaowei said.
Grandpa Shi breathed a sigh of relief. Such a young child can't eat hard food.
Grandpa Shi asked some more detailed questions, such as whether he was wearing clothes, what things were around him, notes, etc. Shi Mingwei answered them one by one, but there was nothing.
Through these, Grandpa Shi judged that this was an abandoned baby, a child that no one wanted.
How pitiful!
What should he do with this child?
"Dad, this child is too young for you to raise. Why don't we send the child to an orphanage tomorrow?" Shi Jianbo suggested.
"no!"
"no!"
Ling Xiaowei and Shi Mingwei shouted at the same time.
Grandpa Shi and Shi Jianbo looked at the two people together.
"Grandpa Shi, she is so young and so pitiful. She was sent to an orphanage with so many children. The aunt who takes care of her will definitely not care about her and love her all the time. Why not find someone who has no children in our village?"
Adopt it!" Ling Xiaowei said. She knew that the ending of this child was a tragic one. This child in the previous life had no connection with her.
But in this life, she was the one who brought her back, gave her a bath, and fed her her first meal. Inexplicably, she felt some bond with this child.
She wanted to help her and change her miserable fate. She would grow up peacefully and happily.
If she was sent to kindergarten, she wouldn't be able to control her. Maybe her fate would be the same as in her previous life. Thinking of this, Ling Xiaowei felt uncomfortable.
"Grandpa, Xiaowei is right. She is so cute. If she is sent to an orphanage, we won't be able to see her, and we won't know if her life is good or not." After getting along for a short time, Shi Mingwei couldn't bear to part with this child.
It's so pitiful. She deserves the love from all over the world.
Grandpa Shi and Shi Jianbo were silent. Grandpa Shi felt guilty, and Shi Jianbo felt guilty. They were not as loving as two children.
"Okay, it's too late today. I'll go to the village chief tomorrow and let him decide to whom to adopt the child," Grandpa Shi said.
Ling Xiaowei nodded happily, it was great, this way, this poor little guy would stay in the village, and she could protect her.
People watching TV outside the house also heard about the abandoned baby, and immediately many people came into the house to see the child.
Taking advantage of the crowd, Grandpa Shi asked who wanted to adopt a child.
But when everyone saw that it was a female doll, no one was interested.
"Girls are money-losing goods. If they are adopted, they are even more money-losing." Someone said.
Others echoed, "That's right, this must have been thrown in because the family wanted to have a boy. They can only have one these days. Who doesn't want to have a boy?"
Ling Xiaowei was very angry after hearing this, but she couldn't refute it. It was indeed the case in this era, every family wanted to have a boy.
But without women, where would there be men?
She didn't see Aunt Zhang Xiu. If she had been there, she would have taken the child away.
Everyone saw the excitement and dispersed.
Ling Xiaowei has also gone back. Her family will be anxious if they see that she is not at home.
When she went back, it was still Shi Mingwei who saw her off.
"You should be awake at night. If the baby is hungry, feed her rice soup. It should be warm, with large bowls stacked on top of small bowls. Just pour hot water in the middle to warm it up." Ling Xiaowei instructed on the way.
Shi Mingwei unexpectedly didn't feel impatient. He listened very carefully. When he saw Ling Xiaowei at the door, he suddenly said with emotion: "I really hope I am an adult now, otherwise I will raise her."
"Me too." Ling Xiaowei smiled, not expecting that Shi Mingwei was still a very caring child.
After returning home, Zhang Cuifen was looking for Ling Xiaowei in front and back of the house. When she saw her back, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After the whole family got together, Ling Xiaowei told everyone about tonight's adventure.
"Throwing away a newborn child? This is so cruel." Zhang Cuifen choked and said, she was a mother, very sensitive. She hugged Mingming and felt warm in her heart.
"Dad, Aunt Zhang, why don't we adopt this child?" Ling Xiaowei suggested.
In fact, it is best to put it in your own home.
Ling Guoqiang was a little embarrassed, and Aunt Zhang was a little hesitant because of the conditions of the family and the fact that there were already two children in the family. It would be really difficult to have one more child.
"Let's let the family that needs the child more adopt it! Dad can only support you two now." Ling Guoqiang said with some difficulty.
Ling Xiaowei was a little disappointed, but her father was right. With the current family conditions, it is no longer easy to raise two children.
"Hey! Your Aunt Zhang Xiu doesn't have any children. She likes children very much and has always wanted to adopt one." Zhang Cuifen said happily.
Ling Xiaowei nodded and sighed in her heart, finally she was adopted by Zhang Xiu.
"Yes, I will go to her house now and tell her." Zhang Cuifen couldn't wait to tell Zhang Xiu the return news.
Zhang Cuifen took the flashlight, put on her clothes, and left.
She was afraid that if she was too late, the child would be adopted by someone else.
After a long time, when Ling Xiaowei was about to fall asleep, there were footsteps at the door, and Zhang Cuifen came back happily,
As soon as he came back, he quietly lay down next to Ling Guoqiang, then pushed Ling Guoqiang and said: "Hey, that child, you see, it is really pitiful, the whole body is wrinkled, and the umbilical cord has just been broken. Zhang Xiu has already taken the child back.
Already."
"Oh! That's good, go to bed early and go take a look tomorrow morning." Ling Guoqiang muttered.
Ling Xiaowei listened with sincerity and was really happy that everything was settled and Shi Mingwei no longer had to get up in the middle of the night to make rice soup.
