Jiang Mengxue said without even looking up, "It's not being sent back.
I forgot to tell you, I plan to adopt Dangsheng. I will go pick him up in a few days and take him back with me."
Ji Xuewei didn't react for a moment and even stopped stuffing food into her mouth.
What did she hear? Adopting a party member?
She didn't know the child very well, but she had lived in his house for a while and had heard from people in the production team about his life story.
I felt sorry for his situation, but I never had such thoughts.
There are so many poor people in the world, and we can't help everyone we see.
Some people and some things can only be left to nature and develop as they are.
She is single, and she has trouble even supporting herself, let alone raising a child.
Jiang Mengxue is married and has children, so it is normal for her to have such thoughts, but her family already has five children. Can she raise one more if she adopts one?
"No, what are you thinking? You already have several children at home. Can you take care of one more?
Even if there are elderly people at home to help, it would be difficult to do laundry, cooking and other chores with so many children."
She is very practical and realistic in her thinking.
It is absolutely impossible to cause trouble for yourself for someone who is not related to you by blood.
So I can’t understand Jiang Mengxue’s behavior.
Before making this decision, Jiang Mengxue must of course consider everything.
The children in the family are now growing older and are beginning to practice doing things on their own.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t do it well, you will be able to do it well over time.
Moreover, children nowadays do not have much pressure in studying, and most of them are free-range.
Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all taken care of, so it's basically no big deal.
Anyway, Jiang Mengxue had no plans to give her children any elite education, nor did she expect them to achieve much when they grew up.
The children will grow up easily and happily, with good health and everything will be fine.
“I have discussed this matter with my husband, and I will also send a letter back home.
Maybe it's because we have an inexplicable affinity, I quite like this kid.
The age difference between him and the kids in my family is not too big, so we should be able to play together."
Ji Xuewei shrugged. She couldn't understand this idea anyway.
But since the decision has been made, she must have thought it through carefully, so she naturally won't try to persuade him.
I went over to check the finish of the clothes, hoping to see if there was anything I could do to help.
But unfortunately, I found out that she didn't know how to sew clothes at all. She had never even held a needle and thread since she was a child. So I could only talk to her, pass things to her, and help out.
Jiang Mengxue's hands were very fast, and Ji Xuewei helped her thread the needle, so she just had to concentrate on sewing.
A set of clothes was ready in less than two days.
A warm coat is also made inside. Many people wear cotton coats in winter by putting them on directly on the outside with their naked body, without wearing anything inside.
This is naturally not warm enough, but there is no other way. Cloth coupons are scarce, and it is good enough to have a cotton coat.
Most people in this era can wear the same pair of pants all year round.
Wear it directly in spring, summer and autumn, and wear it over cotton trousers in winter. I wear this pair of trousers over and over again.
What else could it be? No cloth coupons.
Shoes are difficult to make, so she plans to buy ready-made ones.
She originally wanted to knit a sweater, but unfortunately she didn’t buy the wool, so she had to give up the idea and wait until she got back.
Soon it was time to pick someone up.
Jiang Mengxue originally planned to go by herself, so she borrowed a bicycle and prepared to set off.
I planned to pick up some things on the way. Captain Ge helped a lot, so I had to bring some gifts as a thank you.
But Ji Xuewei insisted on coming along, so I had no choice but to take her with me.
The two of them set out together. She couldn't get anything from the space, so she could only go to the supply and marketing cooperative first.
Ji Xuewei also went in and bought some food that the children liked.
"Hey, as your good friend, you have to call me auntie from now on. Consider it my meeting gift to him.
There are too few supplies here, I will officially replenish them after I return."
Jiang Mengxue shook her head. Indeed, she wanted to buy some decent gifts but she couldn't even afford them.
In the end, I managed to buy two bottles of wine and two boxes of pastries, which were considered pretty good things to be able to show off in the supply and marketing cooperative.
The two of them rode their bikes at lightning speed and soon arrived at the Hard-working Brigade.
The two went straight to the captain's house, where Dang Sheng was already waiting.
Seeing that Jiang Mengxue had really come, he trotted over to greet her excitedly.
He kept looking at the door all morning, worrying that Jiang Mengxue would not come.
"Are you all ready? Let me go meet the captain first, we'll leave in a moment."
Jiang Mengxue touched the little guy's head. It looked so pitiful. It was almost growing into a big-headed doll. She had to take good care of it in the future.
Captain Ge was not sure when Jiang Mengxue would come, so he was not at home at the moment and had just been called to the brigade headquarters.
His wife also knew about this matter. When she saw Jiang Mengxue and the other person coming, she quickly called them into the house to sit down, and she called her little grandson to run to the brigade headquarters to call for help.
Jiang Mengxue put the gift on the table, and Ge Youde's wife's eyes lit up. Although she didn't know what was inside, she knew it must be something good.
“You guys are so polite, how can you give us such a good thing?
You have to take care of your family and children, and you have to buy food. Take this back and feed your children."
Although she was very eager in her heart, she also hoped that Dangsheng would live a good life after leaving here.
Naturally, I hope Jiang Mengxue can take good care of Dangsheng.
Jiang Mengxue could see that the Ge family members were all good people, otherwise they would not have taken such good care of Dang Sheng after he lost his relatives.
"No way, if Dangsheng comes with me, I will take care of him like my own child, don't worry about that.
I have given you a lot during this period, so please take care of the party members. These things are not expensive, so you must accept them.
Just think of it as a gift from the Party members to you."
Ge Youde's wife is not a talkative person, and she didn't know how to respond to what Jiang Mengxue said.
Besides, she couldn't handle such matters, so she could only wait for her man to come back.
She went to the kitchen and poured two bowls of hot water.
"It's cold. You must be freezing after riding all the way here. Drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
Jiang Mengxue and the others were indeed feeling a little cold. Even though they wore coats, scarves, hats and gloves, the wind seemed to be able to pierce through everything and they were completely unable to withstand it.
My hands and face were red from the cold, and my feet were almost frozen.
After saying thank you, he picked up the bowl in front of him and started drinking.
I felt something was wrong when I took my first sip of Jiang Mengxue. It was too sweet.
Sugar is a very precious commodity, and there are not many sugar coupons in the countryside in a year.
I didn't expect the other party to be willing to make sugar water.
Thinking of this, I planned to leave half a pound of sugar tickets when I left.
If the other party is willing to spend money, she will not be stingy.
The Ge family has taken good care of Dangsheng over the years, and they may not come back after they leave, so they deserve this gratitude.
