Chapter 55

There are situations

"Sister, if you want to adopt, I don't object to you. But, after you adopt, if one day you have your own child and you don't want her anymore, I tell you, we can no longer be sisters." Chen Lina held Chen Lili's hand.

"Look at what you said. Who do you think I am? But it does seem that the dean likes dual-employment. After all, the salary of two people is enough to support the children and pay for their tuition."

"If you really adopt her, I will pay for her tuition," said Chen Lina.

She would never let Liu Xiaohong follow the same old path in her life.

However, just when Chen Lili was very excited and wanted to take a step forward, the couple who had been sitting in the corner wiping their tears came forward.

"Child, my child." The woman walked over step by step and knelt directly in front of Liu Xiaohong. "Don't be afraid, ah, don't be afraid, we have a home from now on."

"Hello, Engineer Song, you are the captain of the eighth team of underground operations at the No. 3 oil well, right?" Dean Guan said as he stood up and shook the man's hand.

When Chen Lina heard the last name Song, her hair stood on end.

"My wife Xue Xiaoyue was originally a housewife. She taught herself to become a red-expert. Now she works as a cashier in the finance office of our No. 3 base. She is unable to have children, and I love her deeply. We have always regretted that we do not have children." Engineer Song took the opportunity to put his arm around his wife's shoulder. Judging from his gesture, he must love his wife very much.

Director Guan shook Xue Xiaoyue's hand, and seeing that she was crying so hard that she couldn't take care of herself, he said, "You really love your child. You will be in pain many times in the future. Now bring me your information. I need to see the diagnosis from the hospital to see if you really can't have children."

This woman had prepared all the necessary information, including a large stack of medical records from the mining area health hospital, Uluru City Hospital, the provincial hospital, and even Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

Well, it's obvious that the couple has traveled a lot in order to have a child.

"Ovarian infertility is indeed incurable. However, if only the woman has a problem, we are also worried. After all, if the man wants to divorce you and remarry and have a child, it will not be easy for you to raise the child alone." Dean Guan added.

This worker, Song Jin, stepped forward, took his lover in one hand and Liu Xiaohong in the other, touched her forehead, and said, "Xiaohong, Dad and Mom came to the frontier because of their ideals. Your mom's illness is nothing. Dad is confident that his love for her will never change. Of course, as long as you are willing to join us, I am willing to love you as much as I love her."

Liu Xiaohong was surrounded by the intense, lustful love of the two, but she still stared at Chen Lina from the beginning. It was obvious that she really wanted Chen Lina to speak.

Following the example of the Song family, Chen Lili submitted her own medical records, Wang Hongbing's brief introduction, and her household registration certificate.

"I won't say anything too nice, but what I want to say is that as long as the child is with me, even if Wang Hongbing divorces me again in the future, I will take care of her and raise her well."

Well, Dean Guan frowned, "You guys got divorced once before, was it because of the children?"

"No." Wang Hongbing hurriedly explained, "It's because of something else. I don't want to drag my wife down."

"Comrade Wang Hongbing, there is something wrong with your thinking. Husband and wife should share hardships and happiness. You divorce when difficulties arise and remarry when the difficulties are resolved. But if you encounter unsolvable difficulties in the future, will you have to divorce again?" As he said this, Dean Guan gently placed her household registration certificate on the table.

"I think you should come to the same conclusion and then we can talk about adoption."

The three children were so anxious that they almost jumped away. Sandaner jumped up and down, and kept asking Chen Lina to hug him, "Mom, Sister Xiaohong is ours."

"Director Guan, adoption is a matter that largely depends on the child. So many people have come to our house, and the child is here too. What I want to say is that my brother-in-law was wrong to get divorced last time.

But I think that if he made this mistake once, he would not make it again. And our family is not just for them, from me to my parents, we all want to adopt Liu Xiaohong. I am the director of Mulan Farm, my name is Chen Lina. "

"Oh, Director Chen, the educated youths have been saying that you sent them cucumbers and radishes recently. They are really delicious." Director Guan's brows relaxed again. "Thank you for always asking the educated youths to send vegetables to the welfare home. I have to thank you on behalf of the children."

However, Wang Hongbing and Chen Lili are like two elm stakes.

The Song couple, one holding the child and crying, and the other tying a flower ribbon on her hair. They didn't say anything at this time and just kept looking at Chen Lina.

"Director Chen, it's right to ask the children for their opinions, but our orphanage has a rule that we can ask for the opinions of children over ten years old, but we have to make the decision for them if they are under ten. After all, children under ten years old don't have the ability to make their own choices, and I can say with confidence that I will definitely choose the most suitable adoption partner for her."

Then, Director Guan stood up and said, "If you really want to adopt a child, I will keep a record of it. Next time when there is a suitable one, I will notify you as soon as possible, but...

At present, Mr. and Mrs. Song are obviously the most suitable candidates for adoption. I have to go cook for the children now. There is only one aunt in the kitchen and she is overwhelmed. After dinner and the children have finished their lunch break, Mr. and Mrs. Song will come to handle the adoption procedures. "

This directly excludes the Chen Lina sisters from the event.

Song's wife was delighted and hugged him again in front of the child. "Honey, we are going to have a baby soon."

"Yes, as soon as I saw her, my heart was filled with love, a love that could not be expressed. I really wanted to give her everything I had."

"Me too."

The three little ones and Chen Lili were so angry that they all stared with their eyes wide open as if they were about to jump up.

Chen Lina rolled her eyes while blowing her bangs on her forehead. "Princess Ming Yue" and "Three Variety Shows of Peach Blossoms" had corrupted my brain. They wanted love every day and almost tortured Lao Nie to death. This couple should not have seen such things that destroy their worldviews. Why are they so corny and act like a show?"

She shuddered and cursed him for being pretentious.

When they were about to leave the welfare home, Liu Xiaohong somehow managed to sneak out and quietly called out to Nie Weimin, “Weimin, Weimin.”

"You don't want to go to that house, do you? My aunt's house is pretty good, and the farm is our territory. I just need to give a shout and no one in the farm will bully you."

"The dean advised me to choose Father and Mother Song, but I don't want to go to Base No. 3. I don't want so much love. Love is useless and it can't fill my stomach, right? I can cook and wash clothes. I want to follow you."

"Don't worry, my mother will definitely find a way." Nie Weimin said manly, "You are not a three-year-old child anymore, don't cry, just wait."

Before leaving, the little guy stood there for a while with a distressed look on his face, then turned around and took out two White Rabbit candies from his pocket, pointed at her nose and said, "Be careful, this stuff will stick to your teeth. When you eat it, don't bite it with your front teeth just because it's sweet. Put it on your tongue and hold it slowly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away.

At the State-Owned Youth Hotel, each of us ordered a bowl of mutton noodles. The children rarely ate outside, so since the noodles were made of thin noodles, they gobbled them up in a hurry.

The noodles in the state-owned hotel are made by seven or eight women pulling long noodles by hand, which are then dropped into the pot in large pieces. The lean mutton is chopped into small pieces, and stir-fried with green peppers, onions and tomatoes until the juice comes out. Then the noodles are mixed together, and the dish becomes delicious and chewy.

"Sister, what should I do? We can't adopt this child. I feel really sad." Chen Lili was the only one who couldn't eat. She was so worried and was always thinking about Liu Xiaohong.

The same is true for children and people, once they fall in love, they can't forget each other. She always felt that there was something wrong between Mr. Song and his wife.

Look, Mr. Song and his wife have also come to the Youth Hotel to have dinner.

"How about we just cut a plate of cucumbers? I think the cucumbers with garlic paste are really delicious." Mrs. Song couldn't help drooling as she looked at the cucumbers with distinct flavors of vinegar and garlic.

"Will you die if you don't eat a plate of cucumber?" Mr. Song glared at her.

Song's wife swallowed her saliva, but she didn't dare to ask for the cucumber. They each had a bowl of noodles and sat in the corner to eat.

Chen Lina's eyes are like X-rays. Having read so many people in her life, she can see through men's skin and see the dirt in their inner souls.

But Engineer Song still wanted to talk to her, "Director Chen, adopting a child is also a matter of fate. We want this one, and you just wait for the next time. There will always be a suitable, beautiful little girl. Wow, Xiaohong is so cute, just like a peach."

Chen Lina was in charge of serving meals to everyone. At the moment, she was feeding Sandan, who was clamoring for his sister and refusing to eat. The place was too crowded and there was no seat for her, so she was standing to feed him. For some reason, after hearing what Mr. Song said, her bowl tilted and the bowl of noodles went straight onto Mr. Song's head.

"You're using a peach to describe a little girl, Mr. Song. Isn't that an inappropriate adjective?"

She was even certain that the adoptive father named Song who sexually assaulted Liu Xiaohong and caused her to run away to the provincial capital of Hongyan to work at a young age as mentioned in the tabloid was this Song Jian.

Without knowing him, who would have thought that such a gentle-looking leader of an underground work team who is in charge of dozens of people would be a villain who sexually assaulted young girls.

"Director Chen, please hold your bowl more properly and look at my clothes." Song Jian was so angry that she almost jumped up.

Chen Lina took out a small handkerchief and waved it symbolically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Song, I was careless. What's the matter? I just spilled some rice. Can't I just wipe it for you?"

"Look at my hair."

With her head full of yellow soup, Chen Lina thought to herself, if I had shit, I would want to pour it on you.

"Do you want me to wash your hair?" As she said that, Chen Lina grabbed a handful of chili oil on the table, smeared it all over, and started rubbing Mr. Song's head with both hands.

When Engineer Song saw Chen Lina stretching out her hands, because she was beautiful, Awarguli of the entire mining area, did not resist. Now, when he felt the sting in his eyes, the chili oil entered his eyes and he could not open his eyes.

In an instant, he threw off his disguise as an intellectual and started kicking stools and smashing bowls. "Director Chen, you're putting chili oil in my eyes."

"No, I probably got a little bit of it when I put the chili oil in it just now. I'm sorry."

"I, your mother's."

He rushed forward shouting, but a stool suddenly appeared from somewhere, and he tripped and fell, struggling on the ground.

Chen Lina looked back and saw that Nie Weimin was still eating noodles, but there was no stool under his butt.

"This uncle is very fierce. Give him three yuan for washing clothes and let's go." Chen Lina said as she slapped three yuan on the table and called the children.

Wang Hongbing carried one child on his back, Chen Lili held one in her arms, and the whole family evacuated quickly.

It will take a while before the welfare home opens for business.

There are now eight supply and marketing cooperatives and five state-owned stores in the entire mining area. So a family of six, dragging and carrying everything, ran to the supply and marketing cooperatives to check the supply of vegetables.

The shelf of vegetables that had just been harvested from the farm was completely empty. Despite this, many people would come into the supply and marketing cooperative and ask, "Do you have cucumbers, radishes, or water celery?" They didn't want anything else but the ones from Mulan Farm.

"No, go to the market and find farmers growing them."

"The radishes grown by farmers are full of bran, the cucumbers are as long as the tip of a finger, and the water celery is almost like dried celery. How can we eat it? We want the food from Mulan Farm."

"Then you can ask our Awarguli to see if she can get the farm members to work overtime and give you more points. I can't do anything about it anyway."

"Did you hear that? Awarguli is you." Wang Hongbing teased Chen Lina.

"Come quickly, my mother is here." Erdan was so anxious that he wanted everyone to see what the legendary Awarguli looked like.

Chen Lina covered his mouth, and the whole family went to the state-owned store again.

The things in state-owned stores are expensive, and of course they are all high-end goods.

Chen Lina was wearing a Plum watch, which was given to her by Nie Bozhao. Because she didn't know the price and happened to be walking in front of the watch counter, she stopped to look at it, ready to see how much the watch cost.

As a result, she ran into the two girls from the art troupe whom she had met last time in the hot spring.

The one in his thirties looked like the group leader or something like that, and the one in his twenties was probably the lead dancer. His face wasn't pretty, but he had a great figure.

"Why, Sister Qiong, didn't you say on May Day that Minister Gao would give you a Plum Blossom watch? Why are you here to see Old Zhongshan now?"

Zhongshan watches are the most popular brand on the market, and each one costs only 20 to 30 yuan.

Sister Qiong snorted coldly and laughed, "What are you talking about? I don't know what Lao Gao is crazy about. He bought a watch at that time, so he put it on and was ready to indulge in his addiction. When he was on a mission, he happened to meet Nie Bozhao, a veteran of Base No. 1. He made a bet with him, and the watch worth 180 yuan was taken away by Nie Gong."

When Chen Lina heard the last name Nie, her ears perked up.

"Nie Gong, is that the engineer who is known as the most handsome man in our mining area? Captain, you don't have to tell me. I have a sister who was his college classmate. They are now married, but she still misses him and treasures his photos. When she talks about handsome Nie, her eyes light up. At the annual reunion, she said she only dressed up for Nie Gong. Nie Gong, that is our legendary senior from Northern University of Technology."

"Forget it, Xiao Bao, none of the watches here are good enough. Let's go to the capital to buy one next time when we go there to report for a performance." With that, the two people from the art troupe turned around and left.

Chen Lina covered the watch on her wrist, feeling embarrassed and angry.

I thought to myself, Old Nie, you have learned how to coax people.

However, Xiao Bao, she took note and said that her man was handsome, and there was a female classmate who even hid a photo of Lao Nie after getting married.

Very good, when Nie Bozhao has a class reunion in the future, she must go there and blind the eyes of those female classmates.

Let them keep thinking about her old friend, huh!

"Hey, Director Chen, all we have left is to go through the adoption procedures. We have adopted the child, and it has nothing to do with you anymore."

At 2:30 in the afternoon, at the door of the welfare home, the two enemies met and their eyes were full of jealousy. Song Jian pointed at Chen Lina's nose and said.

Chen Lina had just bought a 20-cent red bean popsicle for each of the children from a state-owned store and was eating one herself, smiling a little grimly.

"Mr. Song, children are not trophies. Why are you treating them like fighting chickens? We don't adopt children, but Xiaohong has a special relationship with our family. The three children want to see her find a new home. That's right, right? Let's go in and talk about it first."

"Mom, we can't give Liu Xiaohong to them." Erdan said.

"Mom, I want Sister Xiaohong." said Sandaner.

Only Nie Weimin said nothing and stood there trembling.

However, with gloomy eyes, he followed closely behind Song Gong. He took every step Song Gong took, and followed him upstairs.

"Where's Xiaohong?" Song Gong looked particularly excited, and turned around to look around. "Come quickly, let me hug her. Ah, it's only noon, and I miss her so much. Thank you, Dean, for giving me these two and a half hours. I have experienced what it means to miss her like a father."

Bah, fatherly longing.

"Mr. Song, I have seen too many people who were very enthusiastic when adopting a child, but after the child was born, they left the child aside and lived their own lives. You are very enthusiastic, and it can be seen that you love the child very much.

But Xiaohong is a girl, and she is already a grown-up girl, so you should not be too enthusiastic and keep a certain distance from her. "

As Dean Guan was speaking, Chen Lina said, "Dean Guan, I have something to show you."

Chen Lina was really anxious. When she entered the room, she saw Director Guan taking out the adoption certificate from the cabinet and was about to fill it out. She made up her mind, took a sharp fruit knife in her hand, grabbed the back of Song's wife's cool shirt with one hand, and with a swish, she slashed the shirt off her back.

Today, she had to expose the true colors of this fake couple.
