Chapter 269 Grandma Gao’s Birthday
The next day, Gao Mingcheng came to the hospital to pick someone up as promised.
There were fewer people on the bus this time, so there was no need to squeeze in the back. Three people could squeeze into the front. Huang Xiaoan was thin, and he and his brother sat there. It was not crowded at all. Because he had difficulty moving, he had to rely on his brother to help him stabilize his body.
On the way, Gao Mingcheng concentrated on driving while Huang Dazhi talked about the latest developments in the baby abandonment case.
Because it was Huang Dazhi who saved the child and had caught a thief before, the police in the provincial capital had a good impression of him, and when he went to ask, they were willing to talk.
"The police haven't found the baby girl's parents yet, but because cleft lip is hereditary, they are investigating this. As for the child, after a doctor's examination, it was confirmed that she has recovered, so she has been temporarily sent to a children's welfare home."
"I asked for the specific address of the orphanage, and I will go there to check the situation when the time comes. I also asked questions about adoption, and they said that only if they are sure that the child's parents cannot be found can the adoption procedures be processed."
After saying the last sentence, Huang Dazhi also breathed a sigh of relief.
He is unable to adopt a child for the time being as his family situation does not allow it and the police are still investigating the case, so he cannot adopt the child yet.
Gao Mingcheng listened and said, "It's actually better if the child's parents can't be found. Even if they are found, what good will the child gain if they are allowed to take the child back? Only in the provincial capital will children be abandoned. In the past, some people in our countryside would kill baby girls after giving birth."
Huang Dazhi sighed slightly when he heard this.
Yes, not to mention cleft lip, even normal baby girls have been drowned.
This topic was a bit heavy, so Huang Dazhi stopped talking about it and asked, "Mingcheng, have you bought all the decoration materials?"
Gao Mingcheng said, "I've bought everything! I've started installing it. When you're free, you can come over and take a look. I've been running around the provincial capital lately, and I'll be going to Guangzhou a few times later. I plan to get some goods from Guangzhou, and we have to open before the end of the year."
Huang Dazhi didn't understand business matters, but he was very convinced of Gao Mingcheng and felt that what Gao Mingcheng did would definitely not be wrong.
When people were talking on the road, time seemed to pass quickly. Gao Mingcheng had been traveling to the provincial capital every day during this period and was very familiar with the roads. He chose to drive in places with good road conditions, and the bumps in the car were reduced a lot.
Huang Xiaoan was very quiet. He listened to their conversation while looking at the scenery outside the window.
Last time he was sitting in the carriage, and due to his limited vision, he could only see the scenery going backwards, but now he was sitting at the front of the car, he could see the scenery in front of him as well as the scenery going backwards from the side windows.
The change in perspective brought him a complete sense of freshness.
Because the journey was smooth, the car entered the county town at around four o'clock in the afternoon. We drove the truck to the owner's warehouse, and people arranged by the owner unloaded the goods.
Huang Xiaoan had difficulty moving, so he just sat in the front seat of the car. Gao Mingcheng and Huang Dazhi took the opportunity to get off the car and stretch their bodies.
After the goods were unloaded, Gao Mingcheng drove towards Gaojia Village.
This is the advantage of being a driver. It can make things convenient for yourself. What's more, Gao Mingcheng and Xiao Jinfeng have a very close relationship. When Gao Mingcheng needs to use the car, Xiao Jinfeng never says a word.
More than 20 minutes later, the car arrived at Junling. Huang Dazhi carried his brother out of the car, while Gao Mingcheng helped carry some of his belongings.
There is less farm work in winter, so Huang Dazhi's parents are at home. When they saw the truck from afar, they were already looking forward to it. When they saw Huang Dazhi coming over holding Huang Xiaoan, they immediately excitedly went forward to greet him.
"Xiao An, are you okay?" Huang Dazhi's mother asked nervously.
Huang Xiaoan smiled at her and said, "I'm fine. The operation was successful. The doctor said that after the plaster is removed, I just need to exercise more."
Huang Xiaoan's smile stunned his parents.
You know, due to Huang Xiaoan’s own disability, he seldom smiles. Now when his parents see his smile, they feel it is extremely unreal.
But after the shock, his mother's eyes immediately became red. Women are more emotional and sensitive. She knew that her little son had changed and become better.
"It's good to succeed. Hey, stop standing and talking. Dazhi, put your brother on the bed!"
With the help of the three people, Huang Xiaoan lay down on the bed smoothly.
After sitting in the car for several hours, Huang Xiaoan lay down and felt comfortable all over. However, he would have to stay in bed for another two months.
Huang Dazhi said to him, "Don't worry, I'll ask a carpenter to make a wheelchair for you. When the weather is good, you can ask your parents to push you out for a walk."
"Well, okay! Thank you, brother!" Huang Xiaoan was grateful and said obediently.
There are carpenters in Junling. Gao Mingcheng's beehives, wardrobes and other things were all made by carpenters here. As for the wheelchair, it is actually very simple to make. You just need to install wheels on a chair. The work of the country carpenters is rough, but it is practical enough.
After Gao Mingcheng sent the person home, he said goodbye and left.
He drove the truck all the way towards Gaojia Village.
I haven't been home for a few days, and now it's time to pay my dues to my wife!
Gao Mingcheng was in a very good mood, but he didn't expect that he would be stopped by his father before he saw his wife.
Gao Yuanjian happened to be walking on the road carrying a hoe. When he saw Gao Mingcheng driving the truck back, he immediately waved to him to stop.
Gao Yuanjian said, "Today is your grandma's birthday. You just happened to be home. Come to my house for dinner tonight!"
Gao Mingcheng was stunned for a few seconds, feeling a little guilty.
He really forgot when his grandmother's birthday was!
Well, let alone his grandmother’s birthday, he can’t even remember his parents’ birthdays.
Although he felt guilty, Gao Mingcheng never showed it on his face. He said calmly, "Okay, I'll park the car first, and then I'll go over with Duomei."
Gao Yuanjian naturally agreed, so he carried the hoe home, while Gao Mingcheng drove the truck and parked it at Niuweiling.
It was almost six o'clock and the sky was getting dark. Lights were on in the house and rustling sounds could be heard coming from the kitchen, as if someone was cooking.
Gao Mingcheng immediately walked quickly into the kitchen and saw Xuanmei cooking.
He couldn't help but say, "Today is my grandma's birthday. Didn't they invite you over for dinner?"
Manyuemei blinked innocently and said, "I didn't know it was grandma's birthday."
The implication is that no one called her.
Well, this happened a lot in his previous life, so Gao Mingcheng stopped worrying about it and just said, "I'm going to celebrate grandma's birthday later, you can come with me."
Xuanyuemei hesitated and said, "But I have already cut all the vegetables."
"Fry it and save it for tomorrow!" Gao Mingcheng said straightforwardly. Now that the weather is cold, the food will not go bad if left overnight.
What's more, Gao Mingcheng suspected that these dishes might not be able to survive overnight.
After all, he came back suddenly, and he didn’t know whether the food prepared by his parents was enough!
