Chapter 197 Chapter 197
Gu Weidong looked at Ye Qing deeply:
"Are you serious?"
Ye Qing thought Gu Weidong was asking about adopting a child, and fearing that Gu Weidong might have concerns about this, he quickly added:
"I know that this decision I made is unfair to you, but don't worry, I will definitely not let you bear the burden of the adopted child."
"My conditions are not bad. I earn several allowances every month. In Kaoshantun, there are mountains and water, and I don't have to worry about food and drink. It doesn't cost much. In two years, when the policy is relaxed, the pharmaceutical factory can be opened. Then my life will definitely get better and better. I have houses in the capital and Shencheng, and land in Pengcheng. I must have enough money to support three, five, or even seven or eight children."
"I just want you to help me get a marriage certificate. Only with a marriage certificate can I meet the adoption requirements. If you don't want to be bound by this fake marriage, that's fine. After I finish the adoption procedures, we can get a divorce. It will definitely not hinder you from finding someone else in the future."
Gu Weidong almost laughed out loud at Ye Qing's theory:
"You are quite good at making arrangements. You even thought of a way out for me. Should I thank you?"
It seems like he has flirted with Ye Qing a lot in the past few years, and he hasn't been that reserved in his behavior. Why is this girl like a blockhead, refusing to respond?
Originally, Gu Weidong wanted to take a roundabout approach, fearing that his attack would be too hasty and fierce, which would scare the enemy away.
But now he found that after all his attempts, their relationship was still at the same point, which meant that his previous methods were completely ineffective.
In this case, there is no need to worry about it anymore. Just break through this layer of window paper and go straight to the point to take over this high ground!
Thinking of this, Gu Weidong also gave it his all and went straight to Ye Qing, less than a fist's distance from her face, their breathing even intertwined.
He stared into Ye Qing's eyes and said with a smile:
"Comrade Ye Qing, what I want to ask is, have you really decided to marry me?"
"In my dictionary, getting a marriage certificate means getting married. Once you are married, there is no divorce, only bereavement."
"I don't care what your purpose is in getting married to me. I am also happy to be bound by marriage, but there is only one thing. Once we get married, you, Ye Qing, will be nailed to my Gu family's household register. If you regret it in the future and want to kick me out and find a lover who suits your heart, it's impossible!"
"So are you sure you've thought it through and really want to marry me?"
Ye Qing was stunned by Gu Weidong's peacock-like smile. She was stunned for a second or two before she came back to her senses. Her face suddenly turned red, and she subconsciously wanted to avoid Gu Weidong's sight:
"Who, who wants to get a divorce and find a lover? You, we have known each other for so many years, don't you know who I am? Since I proposed the marriage, I still have the spirit of the contract. As long as you agree to get the marriage certificate, I will definitely not regret it!"
Gu Weidong nodded: "Okay, you come back to Jicheng Military Region with me first, I will go to the leader to report the marriage, and we will go to get the marriage certificate as soon as the report comes down, so that you can go to the resettlement office to handle the adoption procedures without delay, it will take about two or three days at most."
"But before that, I think I have to stamp this agreement between us, otherwise what if you regret it later?"
Ye Qing was confused: "What kind of seal?"
A smile flashed in Gu Weidong's eyes. He leaned down while Ye Qing was not paying attention and quickly gave her a kiss on her red lips.
"Okay, wife, pack up and let's go!"
Ye Qing: ...
Oh my god, I'm attracted by this guy! It was just a quick kiss, so fast that I couldn't feel anything, but why was her heart beating so fast and her face was about to burn?
He followed people to the Jicheng Military Region in a daze, met Gu Weidong's leaders in a daze, and was surprised by several army commanders and division commanders in the military region. Then Gu Weidong filled out the marriage application report on the spot, and the political commissar and several leaders in the military region lined up to sign and stamp on it. Then Ye Qing followed Gu Weidong in a daze to get the certificate.
The two of them took their first photo side by side. Originally, according to Ye Qing's idea, she should have a fake marriage without any emotions and just for the purpose of adopting a child. However, when taking the photo, both she and Gu Weidong unconsciously moved closer to each other. At that moment when they faced the camera, the smiles on their faces almost reached the corners of their mouths. The natural sweet atmosphere between the couple could not be hidden.
The two coyotes who were following nearby couldn't help but cover their eyes. They couldn't bear to see it. Suddenly, they felt a gurgling sensation in their stomachs. It must be because they ate too much dog food and had indigestion.
After getting the certificate, it will be much easier to adopt a child from the disaster area.
At that time, the Jibei Resettlement Office was in a state of great worry. Hundreds of thousands of disaster victims who had lost their homes were waiting for rescue and resettlement, and a significant number of them were minors. They could only ask the All-China Women's Federation for help, and ask the welfare homes to squeeze in as many people as possible. The armed forces and factory unions should accept as many as they were willing to accept. If there was a relative at home or in a branch family, the children would be sent to the relative. In short, the pressure on the Jibei Resettlement Office had to be relieved as soon as possible, otherwise with so much work piled up here and so few employees, it would take forever to deal with this matter.
Therefore, when Ye Qing and Gu Weidong came, the resettlement office welcomed them with open arms and legs, almost to the point of crying with joy.
Especially when Ye Qing said that he and his wife did not want a healthy child, but came here specifically to adopt a disabled child.
As soon as these words were spoken, the way the resettlement office looked at Ye Qing and his wife was almost as if they were Bodhisattvas.
My god, where did this kind-hearted person come from? A few days ago, they came to the placement office to ask for adoption. They required the child to be healthy and took age and other factors into consideration. They took many aspects into consideration and finally decided on the person after careful consideration and careful selection.
Even though he was so picky, the resettlement office had no complaints and almost gave him a job.
The truth is that everyone is living a tight life at that time. Even though adopting a child means adding a pair of chopsticks, every family is already hungry, and one more person means more food. Without a financial background, who would be willing to adopt someone else's child?
If it is a healthy child, there is hope for him when he grows up, and he may bring them more rewards in the future, so they just save some food and raise him.
But if the child has physical or mental problems, it will be difficult. It is not only a matter of providing food, but also the child needs medical treatment, which costs money and energy and may not get better. It is like a bottomless pit and you don't know how much money you have to pour into it. Who would be willing to do that?
Therefore, these children often have to go to welfare homes, and no one will take them home. The placement office has never considered introducing such children to adoptive parents.
But now Ye Qing is not only willing to adopt, but also willing to take several away at once. How can this not make people feel shocking and incredible?
Fearing that the placement office would suspect her of having ulterior motives behind her adoption request, Ye Qing not only took out all her and Gu Weidong's various certificates and honorary certificates, she even cited the example of a baby girl with cleft lip that her family had adopted two years earlier to prove her ability to raise a child. She also repeatedly assured the placement office that if they were worried, they could visit her home at regular intervals, and that she would promise to treat every problem child well, not only would she not discriminate against them, but she would also find ways to intervene and treat them.
In fact, the resettlement office didn't think so much. Jibei was in chaos at that time, and everyone was focused on disaster relief. It was a good thing that someone could adopt a child. They didn't even think about whether the person who took the child away had any ulterior motives. But Ye Qing's self-affirmation instantly reminded the people in the resettlement office. The person in charge was suddenly startled and realized how inappropriate his recent behavior of being eager for quick success and instant benefits and couldn't wait to send those children away was.
No matter what, Ye Qing and Gu Weidong's identities and abilities were unquestionable, so the placement office had no objections at all. They simply took out all the relevant information on the problem children they had compiled and let Ye Qing choose by himself.
Ye Qing and Gu Weidong had discussed this matter seriously in the past two days. The original plan was to adopt four to five children, but when they arrived at the placement office and saw the thick stack of information, they became hesitant again.
After layers of screening and consideration, the couple finally decided to adopt eight children, some of whom were missing limbs, blind due to injuries to their eyes, paralyzed from the lower body, or suffering from stress autism due to the earthquake, unable to speak, or even mentally ill. They were all children under the age of six.
If such children are over six years old, they may soon become sensible. Rural children living in difficult conditions can help adults with work at this age and can even work in the fields to earn work points. If they cannot find anyone to adopt them, they can go out and beg for a living. They will always find a chance to survive.
But it is more difficult for children under six years old, because their bodies are not fully grown yet and their immunity cannot keep up. A slight cold may turn them into idiots, or even lead to death in serious cases. Moreover, they are young and ignorant and cannot avoid danger, so the probability of accidents is higher. Therefore, age is the main focus of Ye Qing when selecting adoption targets.
As the children were brought in one after another, Gu Weidong had already borrowed a military truck.
The resettlement office was overwhelmed with things to deal with, and the city was in chaos, with no place for them to rest. So after the couple briefly explained the adoption situation to the children, they didn't bother to communicate too much to foster relationships, and just took the people back to Kaoshantun first.
