Chapter 182: Good Days Must Be Celebrated

Shi Luo: "By the way, godmother, I don't plan to let you take this child away. The child is not small anymore, and Jiang Hao and I can take care of him. Our factory has a nursery for the Yuhong class, and we are allowed to bring our children to work.

Besides, children are bound to be raised by their parents and have a close relationship with them. If you take this child away to take care of us and we don't see him/her for a long time, and we have no blood relationship with him/her, he/she will definitely not have any feelings for us in the future, which goes against the original purpose of adopting a child."

Jiang Hao agreed, "Right, right. Luo Luo and I are not too busy at work, so taking care of a child is definitely no problem. After all, the child should live with us."

Jiang Hai actually agreed with Shi Luode's point of view, "Mom, Luo Luo is right. If the child has no feelings for you, even if you take care of Luo Luo and Hao Hao when they grow up, they won't be able to take care of them in every aspect.

It's better for the child to stay with them. It'll only be for a few months. When my wife comes to join the army, she can help out a little and there will definitely be no problem."

Liu Cuihua thought about it and agreed in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud.

"I have to stay here for a while anyway, so I can observe how you two take care of the child. If it really doesn't work out, I'll take him away. Although I adopted him so that you would have someone to take care of him in the future, you can't just ignore the child. If it really doesn't work out, you can take him in when he's older and can take care of himself."

Jiang Hao: "Mom, don't worry. I can handle a child like this. I will definitely not give you the chance to take her away."

Jiang Hai glanced at his unreliable younger brother and said, "I'll go get the paperwork done tomorrow. Haohao will come with me."

Jiang Hao nodded and agreed very readily.

The next day, Jiang Hao and Jiang Hai went out and came back with two file bags.

Shi Luo sat on the sofa, took the file bag and opened it directly.

Jiang Hao poured a glass of water and drank it while saying, "Why are you home alone? Where are mom and Dongdong?"

The first file bag Shi Luo opened was filled with banknotes. "I went to Sister Yu's house. She said she was going to pick up the kids and help clean up. She also wanted to see what was going on at Sister Yu's house. I'll wait for you to come back and we'll go together. How did you bring back so much money?"

Jiang Hao: "There are more than 14,000 yuan here which is the savings of Huhu's parents over the years, and the remaining 6,800 yuan is the pension given to his parents by the army. The pile of bills is partly saved by his parents and partly exchanged for their belongings.

Huhu was the only child in the family, and most of the things his parents bought for the family during their lifetime were not used, so the military leaders exchanged them for tickets for the people in the compound.

By the way, I brought my household registration book this time. The military leader also took care of it directly this time and changed it to the name we agreed on, Jiang Qingyuan. When the time comes, I will go to the street office to complete the formalities and register to receive the food supply book.

Shi Luo put the things into the space and said, "Let's go and pick up our son."

As soon as they opened the door, they saw Liu Cuihua holding a child.

Jiang Hao saw a soldier behind Liu Cuihua with a lot of things hanging on his body, and hurried over to take the things.

After handing over everything they had to Jiang Hao, the two of them were about to leave.

Liu Cuihua held the child and hurriedly asked them to stay. "Come in and have some water. There are quite a lot of these. I'm really sorry to bother you."

"No, no, we still have a mission to complete, we have to leave quickly." Xiao Zhao said and ran away quickly.

Liu Cuihua smiled at the soldier running away, then carried the child into the house.

Shi Luo looked at the child sitting on the sofa and said, "This child is really well raised. He is fair and tender. Sister Yu has put a lot of effort into him."

Liu Cuihua thought about it and finally said what she was hesitant about. "I asked around before going to Xiao Yu's house today. Some older sisters who are about my age said that Hu Hu is actually much thinner than he was a few months ago.

When the child's parents were still alive, they asked Xiao Yu to take care of the child and paid him ten yuan a month. At that time, Xiao Yu was not only the one who took care of the child, but also Hu Hu's father's orderly helped to take care of the child.

Later, the two of them passed away, and seeing that Hu Hu's orderly was also reassigned to other leaders, Hu Hu was no longer a person to be looked after.

By the way, Huhu's monthly allowance is also less than what he would get if he took his child with him. Logically speaking, the child is so young now that the allowance from the army cannot be used up at all.

But I had just gone to pick up the child, and Xiao Yu was at home packing his things. There were three children sitting next to him, two of them were eight or nine years old, each holding a cup of malted milk, only porridge, and staring at it with eager eyes.

Look at that pile of luggage. It looks a lot, but it's actually what Huhu's parents bought for their child before they died. It's basically just clothes, a small quilt, a small mattress, water cups, towels, and other daily necessities. There's nothing to eat or drink. Xiaoyu has been pestering your brother to adopt the child, and it must be more than just because he loves the child."

Huhu hugged the little wooden tank and blinked. Seeing that no one was talking, he whispered, "Hello, brothers."

Shi Luo looked helpless and said, "Baby, you can't call me brother, you have to call me godfather."

Although Huhu was curious, he nodded obediently and said, "Hello, godfather."

Jiang Hao put down what he was holding and squatted in front of Huhu, "Baby, call daddy too, call daddy."

Huhu had limited time with his biological parents after he was born. In addition, he was still young and hadn't seen his biological parents for several months. Although he remembered his father, he couldn't put his name to him. Seeing Jiang Hao asking him to call him dad, he thought that this was his biological father and shouted "Dad" very naturally.

After shouting, he turned his head and looked at Liu Cuihua, "Grandma, where is Mother Yu?"

Liu Cuihua knew that Huhu must be uncomfortable in a strange environment and wanted to find Xiaoyu, so she said gently,

"Does Huhu remember what Yu's mother said just now? She's been a little busy lately and can't accompany Huhu. She wants Huhu to stay at grandma's house for a while. Didn't Huhu already agree to that?"

Huhu nodded obediently.

Jiang Hao packed up his things and checked the time. "We'll talk about the rest later when my eldest brother is home. The child is registered under my name anyway, so I can talk about it any day. He will be my son from now on. Oh, and my eldest brother said he will be back for lunch soon, so why don't we cook now?"

When Dongdong heard that he was going to cook, his eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Uncle, I want to eat shrimp and fish."

Liu Cuihua was a little hesitant. "I stewed two pig's trotters and a pig's tail this morning. Let's eat that today. Don't eat the shrimp and fish. Let's save them for New Year's Eve. It's only two days away."

Shi Luo saw Dongdong so depressed that his hair stood up and fell down, and smiled, "Don't you have a lot of shrimp? Let's cook a little less today. The leftovers will be enough for a meal on New Year's Eve. As for fish, let's fry the hairtail and save the big fish for braising on New Year's Eve."

Jiang Hao: "Mom, I have a son today. It's such a great day, I have to do something nice to celebrate."

Liu Cuihua has always been unable to do anything with her eldest son. "Okay, then I'll do as you say. Prepare the fish and shrimp, stir-fry the beans with meat, and stir-fry the spicy and sour potato shreds. Finally, mix in some radish. That should be enough."
