"Then we don't care?"
Mu Huaixi immediately shook his head.
Ying Mingcheng smiled, knowing her concerns.
What she fears most is that she will be prejudiced against her child and affect the child's growth.
"Let's put it this way," Ying Mingcheng thought for a moment, "even though your uncle and aunt don't care about this child, whether we or Third Uncle comes forward, I'm afraid we'll be blackmailed."
Mu Huaixi was helpless, because his uncle and aunt were just like that.
"So what do you think?" Mu Huaixi stuffed a lotus seed into his mouth. It was freshly picked from the pond, with the green skin and lotus core removed. It tasted crispy and sweet.
Ying Mingcheng opened his mouth and motioned for her to feed a few more.
Mu Huaixi fed Ying Mingcheng seven or eight lotus seeds in a row, but he still didn't speak. In a fit of rage, she stuffed all the lotus seeds she had gathered into his mouth and threatened him viciously, "You don't want to drink the forfeit wine when you toast, right?"
"Ahem...oh my god," Ying Mingcheng laughed helplessly. He let her fuss for a while before holding her back in his arms and playing with her hands. "What I mean is, let's talk to Third Uncle and have him keep her at home for a while. After we leave, after ten days or half a month, we can ask Old Wei to find someone to take her away and find a good family to raise her."
"With Lao Wei's connections, if we send some money and things from time to time, we will definitely live better than we do now."
Mu Huaixi always felt uneasy about leaving the child with someone else, but after thinking about it, there was no better solution. "Should we explain it clearly to the adoptive parents?"
"Of course," Ying Mingcheng explained patiently, seeing her getting stuck on a rut. "Generally, adopted children always have some inconveniences at home. If we tell them the truth, they'll feel at ease and know how to discipline her, right?"
"......" Mu Huaixi thought for a long time and had to admit that Ying Mingcheng was right.
Although it seems presumptuous to decide Niuniu's future without the help of her grandparents and parents, anyone can see that Niuniu's family members are extremely unreliable.
She was determined to do it, and jumped out of bed, "I'm going to talk to my uncle and aunt!"
"You should rest now!" Ying Mingcheng was at a loss for words and grabbed the man. "It's already late. Uncle San and the others must have rested!"
Mu Huaixi deflated, lay down on the bed, and looked at the bright starry sky outside the window. "I'll ask Uncle San tomorrow if there are any other children like Niu Niu in the village. Should we find a few more families?"
"This isn't an easy task," Ying Mingcheng shook his head, then added, "But if you want to do it, let's take our time."
Mu Huaixi turned over and nodded, "Take your time. This kind of thing involves too much. It's better for us to take it slowly."
Adopting children involves cause and effect. Mu Huaixi thought about it and came up with an idea. "How about we sponsor a few children to go to school?"
She went to Jiangcheng, Shengjing, Southern Xinjiang, the capital, and also to the military region where Ying Mingcheng was currently located. She was deeply aware that the outside world was developing rapidly, while only Zhangjiagou was still dormant.
Whether in the past life or this life, she firmly believes that if one wants to change his destiny, he must study and control his destiny!
Ying Mingcheng agreed immediately this time. "Grandpa and grandma used to help with student aid. Let's go back and ask for their advice. We can also take out some of our salaries and do this for a long time."
Mu Huaixi nodded. Once she went to Qilu Military Hospital, she would have a stable income. They were both cadres and employees, and the level subsidies alone would be quite a lot. As long as they discussed and implemented it well, this matter could be done for a long time.
After a few more discussions, Mu Huaixi's depression gradually dissipated.
There was a cool breeze outside the window, and she gradually fell into a deep sleep.
After returning from his hometown, Mu Huaixi took the children to the Qilu Military Region.
Their luggage had been sent from Shengjing, the capital, to the family compound early on. As long as they packed up, they could start a new life.
Ying Mingcheng hadn't had a vacation for a long time and had accumulated a lot of business, but he still packed his luggage at home before hurriedly grabbing his military cap and reporting in.
Mu Huaixi still had a few days before she went back to work. She cleaned the house thoroughly with the two little kids and took them to a new nursery to familiarize them with the environment. It took a month for them to settle in completely.
After work that day, Ying Mingcheng came back with an envelope, "Niuniu's matter is settled."
"Is it done?" Mu Huaixi was preparing dinner and waved his shovel happily when he heard that.
Old Wei contacted a family of retired cadres. The children in the family were all grown up and they had nothing to do, so they wanted to have someone around. After their son and daughter agreed, they brought the person to Zhangjiagou.
At first, the uncle and aunt wanted to ask for a high price from the prince, but they couldn't stand up straight in front of the big-hatted old Wei, so they could only nod and ask for eight hundred.
"You guys are really bold," Old Wei was not a heartless person. He gave 500 yuan to the village chief of Zhangjiagou, but asked them to give them only 50 yuan each month to prevent these two people from spending the money on Mu Huaimin as soon as they got it.
Old Wei meant well, but when the aunt found out, she treated him as an enemy and stared at him with resentment from beginning to end.
"Old Wei personally sent the person there and took photos." Ying Mingcheng took out the photos and showed them to her. Little Niuniu was wearing Little Heping's old clothes and holding a pony doll in her hand, which was shared with her by Little Huihui.
Two elderly men who looked very knowledgeable were standing in front of a residential building, happily holding little Niuniu in their arms. The conditions were obviously good.
Mu Huaixi's tears suddenly burst out. Ying Mingcheng said that this photo was taken when the girl was sent home, and little Niuniu only had this set of clothes and a toy.
"You will have a good life in the future," Mu Huaixi touched Xiao Niuniu's face, turned over the photo and saw the address and phone number of her adoptive family.
Ying Mingcheng asked her, "Are you relieved now?"
"Well, we will have a good life in the future." Mu Huaixi wiped away her tears and put the envelope away. "This family is quite open-minded. Let's just treat them as one more relative from now on."
"I'll do as you say. I've already inquired about financial aid. There's a kid in Da Yingyuan, near Zhangjiagou, who got into high school but doesn't have the money to go. Old Wei said the Public Security Bureau raised some money for her, but her family still doesn't agree."
"It's good to go to high school!" Mu Huaixi nodded.
Ying Mingcheng also thought it was a good idea. "The Youth League Committee here has also found a few people. I'll gather their information later and we can take a look together."
"Let's take Xiao Hui and Xiao Heping with us to do this." Mu Huaixi didn't want the children to live in a vacuum. At least they should understand that there are still many people struggling to have enough food and clothing.
Ying Mingcheng looked at her deeply and agreed.
"Mom, there's a letter for you!" Little Huihui took his sister's hand and took out a letter from his cross-body military bag as soon as he came back.
Mu Huaixi took it and opened it, then sighed after a long while, "Today is really a triple blessing. I found the old Taoist doctor's relative and finally learned about this teacher's life!"
