In front of a welfare home.
A strong Taoist priest with an unshaven beard slowly knocked on the door of the welfare home.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
A nurse opened the door and asked softly.
It can be seen that the nurse is a gentle woman.
After all, taking care of children is a job that requires someone who is not only gentle but also loves children.
No one else would do that.
The satisfaction of social welfare measures means that people are not forced to enter industries they dislike.
Like on Earth, a nanny strangles her employer's child because she is unhappy with her job.
It basically won't happen on Blue Star.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that some people are born perverts and just like to strangle children.
This kind of person will be completely subdued the moment he takes action.
Security at the welfare home is no joke.
It is guarded by clergy.
If anyone wants to come in and cause trouble, they are simply courting death.
"Hello, I want to adopt a child."
The Taoist priest was Qian Yuan.
After making inquiries from many sources, he finally found out that Ah Qing was placed in this sanatorium after being born by that woman.
"Adopt a child? Sir, don't be ridiculous. Every child is a life, not something to buy. Once you adopt one, you must take care of him/her wholeheartedly and cannot abandon him/her. Otherwise, you will be arrested."
The nurse was a little surprised. Although every child sent to the welfare home had enough food and clothing, they still lacked the company of adults.
Sometimes, she often saw some children, less than five years old, sitting in the courtyard, staring blankly at the sky.
When she asked the children, she always got the same questions.
Sister, how did we get here?
She couldn't bear to lie because she knew that lies would be exposed one day.
So she told them, you were all born by your parents.
Those kids always go on to ask the next question.
Then, sister, why have we never seen them? Do they dislike us? We are so obedient.
She didn't know how to tell the kids.
Should we say their parents are assholes?
Of course not.
Nowadays, abandoning a child to an orphanage is not considered a bad behavior.
She grew up in this orphanage. She knew that life in the orphanage was very good and comfortable, and she had playmates of the same age to keep her company.
For parents, abandoning their children to an orphanage is the most responsible behavior.
"I know. I'm going to adopt a child."
Qianyuan naturally understood the rules of the welfare home.
If you want to adopt a child, you must be at least thirty years older than the child.
Eliminate the possibility of child brides.
After all, this is a gray industrial chain, once allowed.
Then there will be many baby girls adopted by so-called kind-hearted young men.
Then they are sold to mountainous areas as child brides.
This ginseng fruit takes root wherever it lands, and it becomes the native of that place. Once it lands in the mountains, it is destined to be the childhood sweetheart and child bride of a certain villager in the mountains for the rest of its life.
The ginseng fruit's cognition has been changed by the surrounding environment. She does not know that she was supposed to be a ginseng fruit on a ginseng tree. She only knows that she is a child bride of a certain family and must marry someone when she grows up.
You know, even if the age difference is as great as thirty years, there are still people who are willing to take risks.
Therefore, the thirty-year age difference is an iron rule that cannot be changed.
Then the second one is the character test.
This requires the gentle nurses of the welfare home to observe the adoptive parents' eyes and actions when looking at the child.
As well as minor changes in various aspects of the body and language to determine whether the adopter is qualified to adopt the child.
The nurses spend time with the children day and night.
Whether the child likes the adoptive parents.
Will the adoptive parents treat the child well?
They can all observe very carefully.
Lock these two down.
This will naturally prevent many people with bad intentions from adopting children.
"Since you already know, sir, please show us your ID so we can see if you're old enough to adopt. As you know, the minimum age for adoption is thirty, but judging by your appearance, you should be old enough."
The nurse didn't mean to prick Qian Yuan's heart.
In fact, Qianyuan is indeed quite old.
Qian Yuan's real age is over 120 years old.
It’s just that people who practice cultivation can maintain the age they want.
Originally, he maintained the appearance of a young Taoist priest.
But after Ah Qing died, he no longer cared about maintaining his appearance.
He gradually became the sloppy middle-aged Taoist priest he is today.
After all, his Ah Qing is dead, so who can he show his youthful and handsome appearance to?
Even if there is a woman who likes him, she is no longer his Ah Qing.
Even if other women have a thousand good qualities, they cannot compare to the one he cares about.
That is the friendship between senior and junior brothers and sisters who have been together for many years.
"Mr. Qing, you are over 120 years old? Are you a clergyman?"
The nurse was not surprised by Qianyuan's age.
After all, she was a nurse who had seen the world, so she was not scared by Qian Yuan's age of 120.
It is normal for clergy to live long lives.
"Yes, I am a clergyman, formerly the Archbishop of Xuande County, now the Archbishop of Xuande City."
Qian Yuan nodded without hiding his identity.
"A city-level clergyman? With all due respect, your lifespan is enough to send many ordinary people off to their deaths. Why would you still want to adopt a child?"
