“Puff!”
Tang Xinyi's words made the nurse who had been eavesdropping nearby couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The children didn't understand, but they knew that Tang Xinyi had been comforting the little boy.
Asking them to work and take care of the children was just to make the two children feel at ease to go home with her.
Children nowadays start helping with housework as soon as they can walk on their own.
Washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning the yard are all done by the children.
Therefore, the nurse would not think that Tang Xinyi's requests were excessive.
Even if it is the biological mother's child, these things should be done, not to mention that the child is adopted?
"Look, even the nurse thinks what I said makes sense. I'm a strong woman of the new era, and the focus of my life must be on work!"
"You two have to take good care of the house for me from now on!"
Tang Xinyi looked up and blinked at the nurse, a smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
"This elder sister is right. Since they have adopted you, you must help with the work. It's not like you're just eating and drinking for free!"
"Besides, women in this new era are really busy. They're already exhausted from going to work every day, and when they get home they have to cook, do housework, take care of the children, and serve their parents-in-law!"
“It’s really too hard!”
"When you come to my house, please help with as much housework as possible. This way, I can have time to rest, take care of my health, and work hard to earn more money!"
This nurse is also an interesting person. She has been listening for a long time and has long wanted to interrupt.
Now that Tang Xinyi had handed over the conversation, she immediately began to counsel the two children.
"Niuniu can light the fire, Niuniu can sweep the floor, and Niuniu can even wash clothes!"
After being fooled by the two men, the two children were almost crippled.
The initial nervousness is gone, and his eyes are full of hope.
"I can chop wood, I can cook, I can cut grass for pigs, and I can carry water!"
Seeing that his sister had expressed her opinion, He Xianjun also began to talk about what he could do.
"Yes, it seems that my future life will be blessed!"
"You've been able to take care of your sister for so long and prevent her from starving to death. You're obviously a good brother. My baby will be counting on you from now on!"
Tang Xinyi cut the peeled apple into small strips and handed them to the two children.
Although the two were very embarrassed, they still stuffed the food into their mouths bit by bit under Tang Xinyi's firm attitude.
"You've met this elder sister, you've really earned eight lifetimes of blessings!"
The nurse finished her work here, sighed, and left the ward.
About an hour later, Secretary Wang brought Xiao Liu and Han Xiaoli to the door of the ward.
"Xiao Tang, what's going on?"
Secretary Wang looked at the two children sleeping soundly on the hospital beds, one at each end.
The two children were so thin that their bones were visible, and they looked obviously malnourished.
"That's right, Secretary Wang!"
"I went out for a walk today..."
Tang Xinyi recounted the entire story of her encounter with the two children.
Then she said that she wanted to adopt the two children, so it might take two days, and asked them not to wait for her, as she would buy her own tickets back.
"These two children are really pitiful, but will your family agree to let you adopt them?"
Secretary Wang felt a little sorry for the two skinny children when he saw them.
But he was also worried about his right-hand man, hoping that he would cause a rift with his family because of the two children.
"I'll borrow the hospital's phone and call back to the village. Secretary Wang, don't worry. My parents-in-law are both open-minded people, and I really like these two children!"
If the impression is not right, even if Tang Xinyi sympathizes with him, at most she will give him some money and food, and will not interfere.
But when she saw these two children, she thought of her own childhood.
After her grandparents passed away, she went to live with her parents, where she didn't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear every day.
"Then I'll go with you to make the call. I'll listen later. If your family complains about you, I can help explain it to them then!"
"If your family really doesn't agree, don't confront them. At worst, we can think of another way. We can always settle the two children!"
Secretary Wang was really worried about Tang Xinyi. The child was so pitiful that he would have wanted to adopt her if he had the ability.
But thinking about his family situation, even though he was a town secretary, he could not afford to raise two more children.
If he really dared to take these two children back, his wife would have a huge quarrel with him.
"Thank you, Secretary Wang!"
Tang Xinyi thanked him gratefully.
Then Secretary Wang asked Xiao Liu and Han Xiaoli to help take care of the child, while he took Tang Xinyi to the hospital to borrow a phone.
After dialing the number, they told the operator that they would call back in 10 minutes, and then they waited outside.
It was almost time until the two of them walked back into the office, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed the number of Qingshan Brigade of Hongqi Commune.
"Hello? Is that Xinyi? I'm your mom!"
"Xinyi, I am your mother!"
"Wife, and me!"
"Sister-in-law, my mom has monopolized the phone, I can't even squeeze in!"
"Little sister, I'm the big brother!"
"Second brother is here too!"
"Wuwuwu, please make some room, little sister, Third Brother is here, and we just can't squeeze in!"
Hearing the noisy greetings from the other side, Tang Xinyi felt warm in her heart.
The depression caused by the two children was also healed at this moment.
"Mom, Dad, and everyone else in the family, please be quiet. I'm calling to discuss something with you!"
Tang Xinyi knew that if the other party continued to quarrel like this, she would not be able to tell her story.
Moreover, phone bills are very expensive these days, and most importantly, people are not happy if you call for a long time.
I really don't want to do it, the kind that I wouldn't want to do even if I had money.
"Quiet, everyone, be quiet!"
"Xinyi said she has something to discuss with us, we can't make such a fuss!"
This was the voice of the village chief. As soon as the village chief spoke, the whole family fell silent.
Even the old Tang family members stopped talking.
"Dad, Mom, Daddy, Brother, Husband, and Sister-in-law, this is what happened..."
Tang Xinyi spent a few more minutes telling the whole story about the two children.
"I feel a connection with these two children and want to adopt them. To avoid putting my family in a difficult position, the children's expenses will be deducted from my pocket money!"
Hearing this, Secretary Wang, who had been standing nearby with a worried look on his face, was stunned for a moment.
Secretary Tang must be so favored at home that her pocket money can support two children?
But it is also possible that the little girl was just acting coquettishly with her family, and Secretary Tang turned his head and put the matter out of his mind.
