Chapter 181 Sympathy is not enough
Liu Cuihua also sympathized with the child, but some things require more than sympathy. "Xiao Yu, Jiang Hai can't adopt Hu Hu because Jiang Hai can't take care of Hu Hu.
Jiang Hai's mother-in-law is ill, and his wife is taking care of her at home. She didn't come with him on this family visit. The doctor there said she will only live for a few months.
His wife was planning to send her mother away before joining the army. It would take at least three to five months for her to sort out the affairs at her parents' home. During this time, she had to take care of the elderly and was unable to look after the children.
From what I heard from you just now, you are planning to return to your hometown soon, so you are in a hurry to find someone to adopt the child. So even if Jiang Hai adopts Huhu, the child will still have no one to take care of him for the next few months."
Mrs. Yu was at a loss. She had thought of everything except this. "What should I do? I have to leave in a day or two at most. My family has already called several times to urge me to go back. If I don't go back now, it will be too late. What should I do with Huhu?"
Liu Cuihua pulled Sister Yu and said, "How about this? Let my youngest son adopt Huhu. I can help take care of him."
When Yu's sister-in-law heard this, she was stunned.
Liu Cuihua continued, "My youngest son works in a machinery factory in Beijing. He was allocated a house some time ago. By the way, he hasn't married yet, and he won't get married in the next five or six years. So you don't have to worry about him favoring his biological son and mistreating Hu Hu, and you don't have to worry about him spending Hu Hu's parents' money on his biological son.
The only downside is that my youngest son might not be very good at taking care of children, so Huhu might have to go back to my hometown with me from time to time and live there for a while, and I can help take care of him. Don't worry, even when he goes back to my hometown with me, I can guarantee that he won't suffer any injustice. "
Jiang Hao glanced at Shi Luo. He knew that Liu Cuihua was doing this for his own good, but he was still worried that Shi Luo would be unhappy because of Liu Cuihua's self-assertion.
Shi Luo was not that unhappy. Adopting a child was one of his long-term plans, but not so early.
If I adopt a child now, it is the beginning of 1976. When the college entrance examination is resumed, I can go to college and my child can go to kindergarten for one or two years and then go to elementary school. It is not impossible.
Shi Luo thought it over and nodded slightly at Jiang Hao to indicate that he had no objection to Liu Cuihua's proposal.
Mrs. Yu looked at Jiang Hai and then at Liu Cuihua, not knowing how to answer, and stammered in embarrassment.
Jiang Hai saw Jiang Hao and Shi Luo winking at each other, and Shi Luo didn't seem unhappy, so he knew that the two had no objection to Liu Cuihua's proposal.
"I think this is a good idea. I'll discuss the details with my boss later. I'll be the guarantor, and I'll handle the adoption procedures. Sister-in-law, go home today and pack up all the messy things. I'll arrange for someone to pick them up tomorrow, and you can just bring the child to me then."
Sister Yu was still a little worried, "Aunt, is your youngest son here this time? Can I see what he looks like?"
Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I am my mother's youngest son. Sister-in-law, let me tell you the truth. When I was a child, I was naughty and ran to the mountains. I got injured. Other than that, I am fine. It's just that I can't have children in the future. That's why my mother wanted me to adopt a child. So don't worry, if you let me raise Huhu, I will definitely take good care of him. He will be my biological son in the future."
Jiang Hai was not afraid that his sister-in-law would tell others. If the fact that he was unable to have children got out, the army leaders might be more willing to let him adopt Huhu because he would not have any children in the future.
Liu Cuihua glared at her youngest son who was talking nonsense, then smiled sheepishly at Yu's wife. "Xiao Yu, my son is a high school student, has a Beijing hukou, has a job, a car, and a house. You really don't have to worry about him getting hurt."
Jiang Hai's expression was no longer serious. "Sister-in-law, my brother is really the best candidate in this situation."
Sister-in-law Yu still wanted Jiang Hai to adopt the child, so she didn't give up. "Deputy Division Commander, why don't you adopt the child? Let me help take care of the child for the next few months. When your sister-in-law is free, she can take care of the child and bring the child to join the army."
Jiang Hai knew that Yu's wife was doing this for the good of the child, so he was not so impatient and patiently explained, "It really can't be done. My mother-in-law has always wanted to adopt her grandson under my name, but I have always disagreed.
If I adopted Huhu, my mother-in-law would be the first to disagree. She is so sick that she can't get out of bed and is dying. I really don't want to make her even angrier.
Another thing is that my wife is a filial daughter. If I had to adopt someone, she would definitely want me to adopt her nephew. But that child has both a father and a mother, and I really don't want to. So no matter what, I really can't adopt Huhu."
Sister Yu thought for a long time. Although things were a little different from what she had planned, she had no choice but to compromise. She stood up and bowed to Jiang Hao and Liu Cuihua, "Auntie and Comrade Jiang, I'll leave Huhu in your hands from now on."
Jiang Hao helped the man up and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will definitely not treat Hu Hu unfairly."
Liu Cuihua watched Yu's wife leave, looked at Shi Luo seriously, and comforted him, "Lolo, don't worry, Huhu is only registered under Haohao's name, and you don't need to take care of him. When godmother comes home, I will take him home. At most, you can play with him when you go back, or I will bring him to spend time with you when I come over.
The child is young and doesn't remember much, so let's take good care of him now. He will be your own son in the future, and you will have someone to take care of you when you are old."
Shi Luo blinked, "Godmother, actually I don't have any plans to adopt a child at the moment, but I am willing to raise this child.
One is that I know you are doing this for our own good and are worried about our future life.
More importantly, this child is the orphan of a martyr. His parents sacrificed their lives defending their country. I have limited abilities and cannot help with many things. Raising a child is not a problem.
But I only plan to raise one child in my lifetime. No matter what the future holds, I will not and cannot have a second one."
Liu Cuihua nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, one is enough. This way, you two will have someone to take care of you when you are old, and I can close my eyes even when I die."
In the past two years, Liu Cuihua was not afraid of anything else except that when she passed away, her eldest son would fall ill and no one would take care of him.
