Chapter 344 Little Bunny
After leaving the train station, Huang Dazhi found the place to take the bus, and then asked people which bus to take to Fusheng Road. After some trouble, he finally got on the minibus to Fusheng Road.
The welfare home in the provincial capital is on Fusheng Road. He got the specific address from the case handlers last time.
Half a year later, Huang Dazhi came to investigate the situation of the abandoned baby as he had said.
The moment he took the abandoned baby out of the trash can, he vaguely felt that there was an inexplicable connection between him and the baby.
At that time, he decided to adopt the defective abandoned baby, but he did not adopt it immediately in the end. Firstly, the police still had to find the parents of the abandoned baby, and secondly, his own situation was not suitable for adopting a newborn child right away.
Gao Mingcheng once advised him to come back and adopt a child after half a year.
Now half a year has passed, his younger brother Huang Xiaoan has recovered well after the operation, and he has married a kind-hearted wife.
Before leaving, he talked about this matter with Luo Li and asked for her opinion.
After hearing this, Luo Li did not object, but was very supportive. She even said, "Now you and I are both working, so we can't take care of the child, but when the child is older, you can bring him to the county to study."
When Huang Dazhi heard this, he knew that he had made the right choice in choosing Luo Li as his wife.
My body swayed with the minibus, and about half an hour later, the bus stopped on the side of the road.
The conductor's voice rang out: "We have arrived at Fusheng Road. If you want to get off, please get off quickly!"
The car door was already open, and Huang Dazhi got out in two or three steps.
He stood on an unfamiliar roadside, looking around, looking for the location of the welfare home.
In the end, he finally found the welfare home after asking several passers-by.
The orphanage does not look dilapidated, but is in good condition thanks to the support of the state, which has relevant policies to support these abandoned children.
Among the abandoned children, most are sick.
Huang Dazhi found the person in charge of the welfare home and explained his purpose.
The person in charge was a woman in her forties. She seemed to have a good personality and spoke in a gentle voice.
After verifying Huang Dazhi's identity, she said, "Half a year ago, the police sent Xiaoguai here, and they never took him away. Maybe they haven't found Xiaoguai's parents yet. In a case like Xiaoguai's, it's very likely that his parents won't be found, and even if they are found, they won't take him away."
Xiaoguai is the abandoned baby with cleft lip.
Because the child was too well-behaved and quiet, he was given this name.
Huang Dazhi met Xiaoguai. The six-month-old Xiaoguai had grown a lot and looked very different from when he was just born. If it weren't for the obvious cleft lip, Huang Dazhi might not have recognized him.
The six-month-old baby could not sit or crawl yet, but could already roll over. In order to prevent the child from falling off the bed, the welfare home simply laid a mat on the ground and placed the child on it.
Next to Xiaoguai, there were several children of different sizes lying. The older ones could already crawl, while the younger ones looked only two or three months old.
Huang Dazhi looked at Xiaoguai and a strange feeling emerged in his heart. He had never raised a child, but when he was in Junling, he had seen children from other families in the same village.
He felt that Xiaoguai looked a little dazed. When he appeared, Xiaoguai clearly saw him, but did not show much expression. This made Huang Dazhi begin to wonder if Xiaoguai had some other problems.
So he asked.
The person in charge immediately said: "All the children in our hospital have undergone physical examinations. Xiaoguai is normal except for his cleft lip."
"Our orphanage is funded by the government, and the children's lives and medical care are guaranteed. However, we are short-staffed, and each of us has to take care of the daily lives of many children, so generally speaking, we don't hold these babies."
"Every child cries for a long time when they first come, but later, when they realize that crying can't change anything, they become quiet."
The person in charge sighed. There were only five staff members in their welfare home, but there were more than sixty children, so the older children also had to help take care of the younger ones.
When Huang Dazhi heard this, he suddenly thought of something that happened a long time ago.
He was only four years old at that time, but he already had memories. His younger brother Huang Xiaoan was also born at that time. He remembered that his younger brother loved to cry, but his parents were busy working in the fields, and they rarely held his younger brother except when feeding him and changing his diapers.
Even when my younger brother later contracted polio, my parents didn't take it seriously at first. It was only when his condition became serious that they hurriedly took him to see a doctor, but it was too late.
Memories flashed through his mind, and Huang Dazhi's eyes fell on Xiaoguai again. He said, "Dean, if my brother wants to adopt Xiaoguai, what procedures does he need to go through?"
The person in charge said: "It's not easy to adopt a child, but you have a connection with Xiaoguai, and Xiaoguai is in such a situation, basically no one else will adopt him."
"How about this, you go to the police station first and ask about Xiaoguai's biological parents. After confirming that he is an orphan, come and go through the adoption procedures."
The welfare home was short of staff, and coupled with Xiaoguai's special circumstances, this made Huang Dazhi's adoption journey very smooth.
Of course, this also has something to do with his profession.
Next, Huang Dazhi went to the nearby police station and found the police officer who handled Xiaoguai’s case.
The police officers all had good memories, and the other party quickly recognized Huang Dazhi, and the two of them went aside to talk.
Soon, Huang Dazhi learned that the police had not found Xiaoguai’s biological parents. Now, after half a year, it was basically confirmed that he was an orphan.
Next, Huang Dazhi stayed in the provincial capital for a day and obtained relevant documents.
The next morning, he carried Xiaoguai to the train station.
Knowing that there were a lot of people in the train station, Huang Dazhi was very cautious this time and did not let those people get close to him.
After entering the waiting room, Huang Dazhi fed Xiaoguai again before getting on the bus.
He bought these new bottles and milk powder because he found that the bottles in the welfare home looked very old and were shared by several children.
Xiaoguai is as her name suggests, she is very easy to take care of. Although she has a cleft lip and it is not convenient for her to suck, she has no problem being fed with a bottle, and a six-month-old child can start eating complementary foods.
When he was feeding his baby, someone looked over curiously.
People have an instinctive fear and rejection of those with deformities or disabilities. Huang Dazhi noticed these looks and his face darkened.
He looked down at Xiaoguai and decided to take Xiaoguai to the hospital for surgery in a few years.
He didn't want Xiaoguai to live under strange looks all the time.
All the way back to the county, Huang Dazhi rode his bicycle non-stop and sent Xiaoguai back to his home in Junling.
He made a sling out of a large piece of cloth and carried the child on his back so that it would not hinder him from riding his bicycle. When they arrived at Junling, he found that the child had fallen asleep on his back.
Along the way, the child made no sound except for the occasional hum.
"Brother, you brought the child back? Let me see it!" Huang Xiaoan looked at the child in Huang Dazhi's arms with anticipation.
Huang Dazhi handed the child to him and whispered, "Her nickname is Xiaoguai. Give her a formal name and then find a time to register her for hukou."
Huang Xiaoan took the child steadily and noticed the child's cleft lip at first sight.
He had only heard about this from his elder brother before, but he had never seen it himself. When he saw it now, he couldn't help but take a few more careful looks at it.
He himself had a deformed leg, so he wasn't as uncomfortable with the cleft lip as some others.
He stared at it carefully and smiled: "It does look a bit like a rabbit's mouth! It's small and quite cute."
"Brother, I am not well educated and don't know how to name her. You should choose her full name."
Huang Dazhi did not agree, but said: "Think about it carefully first."
While the two brothers were talking, their mother came back from the fields. When she saw the child in Huang Xiaoan's arms, she curiously leaned over to take a look.
After just one look, she pouted in disdain and said, "Dazhi, even if you want to adopt a child for your brother, you don't have to adopt her! Look how ugly she is! There are often unwanted girls around here. You can just go and adopt one. She's still very healthy!"
Huang Dazhi frowned. He knew his parents' character, so he didn't explain much, but said forcefully: "Mom, I bought some cotton cloth. Find time to make two sets of clothes for Xiaoguai."
The fabric used to make the straps was actually just torn cotton cloth. After making the straps, I could make the clothes, which saved a lot of trouble.
Baby clothes like this basically don’t need to be made by a tailor, because they are relatively simple and can be made by women at home.
"I understand." Although Huang's mother was not happy about adopting a disabled child, she was now used to listening to her eldest son and agreed instinctively.
Huang Dazhi continued, "I bought a bottle and milk powder. If Xiaoguai is hungry, you can make milk powder for her. She can also eat some porridge and soft noodles."
Hearing this, Huang Ma said confidently: "I have raised two sons, do I still need you to teach me?"
Huang Dazhi remained silent, but looked at his mother with suspicion.
He has no memory of what he experienced as a child, but he knows what his brother experienced as a child!
Finally, he said to Huang Xiaoan: "Xiaoan, raise her well. If she needs any help, just ask."
Huang Xiaoan held the child in her arms, smiling with a relaxed look on her face: "She is my daughter, I will naturally take good care of her, and I also expect her to take care of me in my old age."
After arranging Xiaoguai's affairs, Huang Dazhi did not stay and returned to the county. He only took two days off and had to go to work tomorrow.
So when Gao Mingcheng came back, he knew that Huang Dazhi had done something big.
That evening, when Huang Dazhi came to pick up Luo Li from get off work, he happened to see Gao Mingcheng had returned, so the two sat at the table in the backyard and talked about this experience.
After listening to him, Gao Mingcheng said, "I once heard a saying that it takes five hundred glances in the previous life to get to pass by each other in this life. You and the child are destined to be together, and it's good to be a family now. Medical technology is improving every day. When the child is two years old, you can take him to a provincial hospital to see what the doctor says. It's better to treat him early, so that the child won't be laughed at and his temperament will be affected."
Huang Dazhi nodded, he thought so too.
The two chatted about something else, and then Huang Dazhi took Luo Li home.
On the way, Luo Li said, "I asked Duo Mei, and she said I could use the sewing machine in the store. I plan to buy some fabric tomorrow and make some clothes for Xiaoguai."
"Sure. In a few days, it will be holidays. I will take you back to see the child then. The child is really well-behaved and quite pitiful." Huang Dazhi said.
Luo Li said, "She is not pitiful, she is very lucky. When her life was on the verge of death, she met you and was reborn. When no one cared about her, it was you who gave her a warm family."
Huang Dazhi looked at Luo Li in surprise, scanning her up and down, and said exaggeratedly: "Your speaking level is getting higher and higher now, and you can even use idioms!"
Luo Li smiled and glared at him, then said, "Recently, when Shufang has nothing to do, she recites articles aloud. I listened to her and memorized some of the words."
"That's great. You can just recite the article with her next time." Huang Dazhi said with a smile. He thought this method should have been proposed by Gao Mingcheng, but the effect must be good. Look, Luo Li, who was listening nearby, remembered some idioms and her speaking level has obviously improved a lot.
On this side, Huang Dazhi and his wife were talking, and on the other side, Gao Mingcheng and his wife were also talking.
Xuanyuemei's belly gradually grew bigger, and her previous pants were becoming a little tight, so she decided to buy some cloth and make a few pairs of pants herself.
Pregnant women should wear loose and comfortable clothes, but although the clothes in the store look good and show the figure, they are not so suitable for pregnant women.
Xuanyuemei said as she counted the inventory: "Today Luo Li said she wanted to use the sewing machine in the store to make some clothes for Xiao An's adopted child. I think I should prepare something for the child, too!"
Gao Mingcheng glanced at the beautiful belly and said, "Isn't it a little early?"
Many beauties said, "Not too early! I calculated the date, and the baby should be born in October. The weather will be good then, neither too hot nor too cold, which is the best time to raise a baby! I have to prepare the baby's clothes, diapers, and bedding now, so that I won't have trouble doing things when my belly gets bigger."
She has a plan for everything she says and does, because after she became pregnant, she specifically talked to people who had given birth to children and learned about some of the changes that would occur in her body after the late pregnancy.
So you need to prepare everything in advance.
Gao Mingcheng didn't have much say in this matter, so he said, "Just arrange it. I'll take inventory, you go down, it smells bad here."
Xuanyuemei was obedient and went downstairs first.
Gao Mingcheng stayed in the warehouse on the third floor, counting the inventory and writing down the data. In this way, he could know the inventory situation by just looking at the data.
When doing business, you need to take inventory regularly so that you can clear out the stock in time. If there are any styles that are stockpiled, you need to organize activities and sell them at special prices to stop losses in time.
