The words "I want to be a father" made Zhao Qiming's brain turn into mush. He forgot all about being calm, rational and calm. He stammered: "I, I, you."
"You" have been waiting for a long time without any results.
In the end, Li Guifang couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Listen to her nonsense, it was the woman from the Lin family next door who abandoned her child and ran away. Well, now there is only such a little baby left in the house."
Zhao Qiming didn't know whether to be happy or worried. He was somewhat relieved, but more disappointed.
"Then this kid."
"I bumped into Cuicui when she was delivering peppers, and I saw her when I was carrying her. I couldn't just leave her at home to die, so I had to bring her back first to have a full stomach. Let's discuss it later when your father comes back."< br>
Zhao Qiming nodded slightly and his eyes fell on Hua Cui. She was concentrating on tying Xiao Cui's messy hair into little buns. Xiao Cui raised her chin, smiling like a cute girl, both big and small.
Does she want to take this child back?
Zhao Qiming secretly thought to himself that he had never been sure of Hua Cui's thoughts, but if she was really willing, it would be good to have a child, which might allow her to have more families.
In the evening, Zhao Fuguo came back and Li Guifang explained the situation concisely and comprehensively. The whole family was in trouble with Xiaocui.
Chen Lili is currently pregnant with her second child. She was the first to feel soft-hearted and said sentimentally with red eyes: "It's a crime for a mother to have such a small child."
Niu Niu was very happy that she had a playmate. The two little guys got together, head to head, making out and playing with each other.
Zhao Fuguo put his hand on the pipe but did not smoke. There were pregnant women and children in the room. He sighed: "Lin Yuchun probably can't be found. He ran away completely, there is no hope."
She came and left mysteriously, no one knows her details and whereabouts.
Li Guifang: "The main thing is the children. What should I do with the children? I think we have to leave it to the police to see how they handle it."
Chen Lili replied: "What else can they do? I remember there seems to be an orphanage in the provincial capital to take in these homeless children."
"This is good." Li Guifang doesn't dislike Xiaocui. She hugged her when she was a child, and she would tease her when she saw her when she passed by.
But she didn't mention adoption at all, and there was always a barrier in her heart. It was not her own child, so why did her family have to be responsible? Having an extra child for no reason, adopting a child is no small matter.
Who raises it? How to raise it? What to do in the future? What should I do if my child is raised as an adult and his biological parents come looking for him?
"That's a way." Hua Cui said lightly, not mentioning the matter of adoption, "But it depends on fate, and they may not accept the child. Even if they do, the provincial capital is so far away, and they might be abducted halfway. I also heard that there are special There are criminals who sell human organs, especially children, or they may have their hands and feet broken and become beggars.”
Li Guifang didn't say anything. She softened her heart for a moment. She was worried about Xiaocui after all, and said, "Let's see who wants it in the nearby villages. They are all close neighbors. Those who know the details can rest assured."
Chen Lili thought for a while: "The Wang family at the entrance of the village? They talk about wanting a child every day."
"No, no, no." Li Guifang shook her head upon hearing this, "They are all lazy people. They can hardly afford to eat, and they still have to raise children."
"What about the Li family? The Li family of the third team."
"This is even worse. I don't like any of the people in that house. The son is a treasure and the daughter is a piece of trash. Look at how badly that little daughter has been tortured. If Xiao Cui goes over, don't push her into a pit of fire!"< br>
"Where's the Chen family next door?"
Li Guifang still shook her head: "I don't think so."
Chen Lili said "ouch": "This won't work, and that won't work either. There's no perfect good family around here."
"There are so many tangles, at worst I will take care of you." Hua Cui said casually.
"You are still a child yourself, how do you raise a child? Let me tell you, raising a child is not that simple. You will be the one to worry about it then!"
"You've never seen me raise a baby, how do you know I can raise it well? Xiaocui is the most obedient to me."
Hua Cui is still proud of this. She is in love with Xiao Cui, and sometimes she listens to her instead of listening to Lin Yuchun's words.
"Yes, yes, I listen to you. Both geese in the house listen to you the most." Li Guifang really didn't doubt the authenticity of this.
Some time ago, she brought back two goslings, which made Huacui very happy. One was named "Maomao" and the other was named "Doudou", and they were kept as pets.
The two geese did not disappoint her. They came close to Huacui as soon as they were released. Li Guifang felt strange when she saw them. Animals are also spiritual.
However, Li Guifang still didn't take it seriously when Hua Cui said she wanted to adopt Xiao Cui, because she knew that she actually didn't like children that much, and at the same time, she suddenly changed her mind and couldn't take it seriously.
Hua Cui was still thinking about how to persuade Li Guifang, but Zhao Qiming suddenly said: "Mom, I also want to adopt this child."
"Hey, are you going to rob me?!" Hua Cui glared.
Chen Lili laughed at the side: "What's the robbery? Isn't it your daughter who raised her? Whose is it?"
Of course, Hua Cui felt that Zhao Qiming was robbing her. Before she left, Xiao Cui must be hers.
"That's nonsense!" Li Guifang didn't expect that Zhao Qiming also wanted to adopt this child. She frowned and thought deeply, thinking why she would raise someone else's child if she didn't want to...
Again, adopting a child is not a trivial matter, and raising children is not like raising chickens, ducks and geese. You just need to feed them enough to keep them from starving to death.
Hua Cui retorted dissatisfied: "What nonsense are you talking about? Since you don't worry about giving her to anyone, you might as well keep her at home. Otherwise, I won't raise her. You can raise her, and she will be called my sister from now on."
Look, what are you talking about? Li Guifang glared at her angrily.
Asked Zhao Qiming again: "Are you really planning to raise this child? You're not kidding."
Zhao Qiming nodded naturally. Since Hua Cui liked this child, he had to fight for it.
Li Guifang still didn't let go. She looked sad. It's not a problem to open her mouth more to eat. It's not that she can't afford it, but the problem is in the future. How can she decide so easily whether she can feed her or not? After a stalemate, Zhao Fuguo finally made the final decision: "Okay, don't argue, think about it again, think about it again, let the child stay here for now, he is also a pitiful one."
Li Guifang immediately agreed.
Let's live there for a few days and see how things go. Maybe the couple will get bored and don't want to raise him anymore. If they can really raise him and raise him well, then she has no problem with it.
I'm just afraid that I say I want to take care of my baby, but if I don't take good care of it, I'll end up with a gap.
"I agree too!" Hua Cui knew that Li Guifang was very talkative and said that he would stay for a few days to see, but if nothing went wrong, adopting Xiao Cui would be a sure thing.
"Xiao Cui, let's take a shower after dinner~"
It was the first time to raise a cub, and Hua Cui was full of novelty and energy. In addition, Xiao Cui had always been very good in front of her. He didn't cry or make trouble and let her do whatever she wanted.
On the other side, Zhao Qiming was pulled away by Li Guifang for a heart-to-heart talk, and he was asked to think more about Xiaocui's affairs. Raising children is not a trivial matter, so don't let yourself regret it in the future.
After the conversation, he opened the door and went back to the room. Hua Cui was sitting on the bedside, softly telling stories to Xiao Cui. The light was soft, and her expression was gentler and peaceful.
Xiaocui was lying next to her arm, with her big black eyes open, not sure if she understood or not, but she looked very energetic and quiet anyway.
Zhao Qiming did not dare to disturb such a beautiful scene. He even breathed softly and gently again without consciously doing so, feeling warm in his heart.
He felt more and more that his decision to adopt Xiao Cui was the right one.
"In the end, the mermaid princess successfully obtained the prince's heart. At the moment the sun rose, she returned to the bottom of the sea and lived happily with her sisters."
The story of Huacui is also finished.
She asked: "Do you like this story?"
Xiao Cui was not old enough for her to understand the story, but she still nodded, relying on Hua Cui's appearance.
Hua Cui laughed, but when she turned around and saw Zhao Qiming, she immediately closed her mouth. She should be disgusted or disgusted: "What are you doing sneakily?"
She still restrained herself in front of her children. She would choke a few words before.
Zhao Qiming didn't say anything. He just accepted it no matter what was said.
Hua Cui's attention returned to Xiao Cui: "Are you sleepy? Do you want to sleep?"
"Sleep..." Xiao Cui nodded, her speech was not coherent and she could only speak some simple words.
Huacui covered her with a quilt thoughtfully, and she fell asleep soon, which was very worry-free.
“It’s not difficult to coax a child.”
Zhao Qiming lowered his voice: "Xiao Cui is sensible."
"Don't even look at whose daughter it is." Hua Cui raised her chin, "Turn off the lights, I'm going to bed too."
Zhao Qiming turned off the light. It was getting late, but he was in high spirits and not sleepy at all. It was because he was feeling uneasy in a strange environment. Hua Cui generously gave Xiao Cui her arm to sleep in.
Zhao Qiming looked at it and curled his lips silently.
He closed his eyes, thinking about Huacui, and had a rare good dream.
But unfortunately, half way through the good dream, Zhao Qiming was suddenly kicked by Hua Cui. He woke up from his dream in an instant. He stretched out his arm and turned on the light and asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to drink water or go to the toilet?" < br>
"...Xiao Cui wet the bed."
Zhao Qiming was stunned.
Xiao Cui raised her head. Her eyes were red and she was holding back tears. She looked helpless and pitiful. She was probably a little embarrassed and her face was red.
Huacui took her out of bed and patted her head: "It's okay. Don't cry. Let your Uncle Zhao clean up."
Xiaocui rarely wet the bed when she was a child, and she never wet the bed as an adult. Lin Yuchun told her this before. This time it may be because she drank too much water before going to bed, and she felt uneasy in a strange environment.
Hua Cui has a good temper and doesn't get angry. If she gets angry again, Xiao Cui will be scared to tears.
"It's not Uncle Zhao."
