The man's neck was stiff, but when he saw Lu Chixiao's arrogant and angry attitude, he gave up: "What, my family is very worried when he disappears. I searched a lot of places before I found this place. I should pay some compensation. There are many things going on at home."
I was delayed because I was looking for him..."
The whole nest is full of chaos.
No, to be precise, I only do it in front of my son, and I only get screwed in front of my step-wife.
Lu Chixiao glanced at Xiao Zhuang Yi. The boy stood upright, with no sadness or joy on his young face. But perhaps, his young heart had already been riddled with wounds.
"What do you think?" He hugged Xiao Zhuang Yi and went to the side to talk, "Do you want to go home? Do you want to go back with your father?"
"No!" Zhuang Yi pursed his lips, raised his chin and said, his eyes full of stubbornness, "I have changed my name to my mother's last name. I don't want to go back to that home again in my life."
"Okay." Lu Chixiao patted him on the shoulder, and then discussed with the principal for a few words.
Zhuang Yi's biological father and stepmother thought they were discussing compensation, and they felt so proud that they took out the new bread bought on the streets of Haicheng and ate it.
10,000 yuan will arrive in your account soon. Treat yourself to some novel snacks.
Unexpectedly, before the bread was finished, a comrade from the police station arrived with a paper message.
The stepmother was suspected of trafficking in an old case, and the biological father was suspected of abandonment in this case, and they were both taken away.
"You brat! You have grown up! You have grown up so much! You even dare to sue your own father! What kind of abandonment! I am his father. If I want him, he is my son. If I don't want him, he is nothing! Why do you have it?
Catch me!"
"That's right! This kid ran by himself. His legs are long. He came to Haicheng and lived a good life. Look at those clothes. Who bought them? Whoever bought them will be arrested by you! Why are you arresting us?
"
The two couples cursed loudly.
There is a saying that goes well: "A dog can't change its habit of eating shit." The same goes for this man! I thought he was Zhuang Yi's biological father after all. If he truly repented, he was willing to take Zhuang Yi back and live a good life. In the end, what would happen to a ten-year-old child?
It would be better to live with relatives. But right now, it seems that it is better not to have this father.
Lu Chixiao touched Xiao Zhuangyi's head: "Go back with me and celebrate the New Year with us?"
"Did the beautiful aunt ask you to pick me up?" Zhuang Yi scratched his head, "Actually, it's quite good for me to live in the school. The principal takes good care of me and will take me back to her house during the Chinese New Year..."
"What? You won't go unless your beautiful aunt comes to pick you up?"
"of course not!"
"Then come with me! This is one of my missions on this trip to Haicheng. If I don't complete it, I will definitely get scolded by your aunt when I go back. You can't even handle such a small thing, and you're still a man!"
Zhuang Yi laughed: "Uncle..."
"Wait a minute, I have a question for you."
"What's the problem uncle?"
Lu Chixiao rubbed his chin and said slowly: "You call my wife beautiful aunt, but you call me uncle. This is not symmetrical! Why don't you give me four words? In this way, you think I look okay, why not
Call me 'handsome uncle'?"
Zhuang Yi didn't expect such a question. He was instantly amused and grinned.
The principal heard the crisp laughter and looked over with relief.
This child smiled for the first time today!
Zhuang Yi's custody was changed to a welfare institution.
From this moment on, he is free!
No longer need to worry about when his biological father and stepmother will return to abuse him, or take the opportunity to throw him away or sell him.
From this moment on, he decides on his own future!
The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly. He will definitely jump higher than fish and fly farther than birds...
After staying in Haicheng for three days and finishing this matter, Lu Chixiao took him to the department store and bought two new clothes for the New Year.
I also bought a new set of stationery for each of the little ones who are going to school.
"Brother Doudou, don't you want to buy it?" Zhuang Yi asked.
"He's still young and doesn't need it."
"But uncle..." Seeing Lu Chixiao looking over, he immediately changed his mind, "Handsome uncle, didn't you say he went to a nursery school? The nursery school also teaches them painting."
"That's not painting, it's just graffiti."
"...I learned it slowly. Uncle, handsome uncle, can I use my pocket money to buy a set and give it to my brother Doudou?"
Lu Chixiao glanced at him in surprise.
I saw Zhuang Yi patting his trouser pocket: "I haven't spent the money I saved."
Finally, with his persistence, he insisted on buying a box of crayons for Little Baozi.
Pencils and erasers are not available, but can we sell crayons for drawing?
Lu Chixiao couldn't help but wonder, how many minutes could the crayon survive intact in his son's hands? It would probably be broken immediately. Either it would be broken or crushed. It would be nice if he didn't stuff it into his mouth and taste it.
But since it was Xiao Zhuang Yi's intention, he didn't say much.
After the two came back from the department store, they set off back to Yupu.
Return to Fjord Town in the evening.
Xu Suizhu was washing vegetables, and Little Baozi was playing with tanks under her nose. Transformers were still under repair, so if you wanted to play with them, you could only take a few glances to satisfy your craving.
"You're back? Is everything done?"
Three days ago, Xu Suizhu received a call from Baozi's father from Haicheng, saying that Xiao Zhuangyi's biological father and stepmother rushed to the school to beg for compensation and simply stayed for a few days to solve the problem from the root.
"Is it really solved?"
"That's almost it. All that's left is to follow the procedures."
Lu Chixiao took the towel and wiped his face with hot water. He turned around and was about to say something when he saw the child's mother washing Xiao Zhuang Yi's face and combing his hair. The little bun looked at the little brother curiously. Both of them only cared about the guests.
He didn't even look at himself.
I sighed in my heart: the status of the family was about to decline again. There wasn't much left, but now a sweet-talking person was added to the family, and his place was almost gone.
Sure enough, during the meal, the child's mother kept adding vegetables to Xiao Zhuangyi's bowl. The little bun followed suit and tremblingly scooped up a spoonful of his recent favorite meat pie and steamed egg, which was delivered to him without any danger.
Mr. Lu quickly took some chopsticks, dried prunes and vegetables to cover the meat, put it on Zhuang Yi's rice bowl, and raised his chin: "What about me?"
Xiao Zhuangyi rolled his eyes: "Thank you, handsome uncle!"
Well! That’s right! How could a family of three be without him?
Xu Suizhu was happy: "What kind of title is this! Just leave out the prefix, just aunt or uncle. Otherwise it will be too much trouble!"
Boss Lu: "..."
It took a lot of effort for Xiao Zhuangyi to change his words, but the child's mother removed the title with just one word. What a status he has!
Xiao Zhuangyi, who seemed to understand somewhat, covered his mouth and snickered.
The little bun looked at Zhuang Yi curiously, then put down his spoon, imitated his gesture of covering his mouth, and started chuckling along with him.
Zhuang Yi picked him up, and Xu Suizhu would definitely take him to Fuju Island to meet her aunt and sister-in-law. Everyone missed him very much.
But there was still some distance before Sunday, and she had to go to work. Lu Chixiao would go out for a few days, and he would definitely have business matters to deal with when he came back. Therefore, in the past few days, he was asked to accompany Little Baozi to the nursery, and they made an appointment to go to the island to play together on the rest day.
