After Xiao Waishan left, Su Li was the only one left in the ward to accompany Xiaodan. Xie Zhengchuan went to the doctor to ask for the medical records and took them to the police station.
Xiaodan was a little hesitant. The courage he had just expressed to let Su Li be the guardian was now gone, and he was left with only nervousness and uneasiness.
He didn't want to rely on his aunt. He could live in his original home and eat less. Although he was young, he could get 5 work points if he went to work.
He can support himself and won't cause any trouble to his aunt.
Su Li noticed Xiaodan's nervousness and anxiety, touched his head and said: "Xiaodan, don't be afraid, don't think too much, you are still a child, and now you are a patient, take a good rest first, be good!"
Dan nodded. He had just woken up and had talked a lot. He was really tired now and fell asleep soon.
Su Li stayed by the bed. After a while, Xie Zhengchuan came over and waved to Su Li. Su Li understood and they both went out to talk in the corridor.
"Xiao Li, have you thought it through? If you adopt Xiaodan, it's not as simple as just giving him some food. You have to treat the children equally and give them the same education. When they get married and have children in the future, you have to treat them equally. You even have to consider the division of property in the future."
"I know I'm not acting on impulse. You can see how Dadan has been living for such a long time. If I just ignore it, it will be a problem whether he can grow up safely. I want to save him."
Su Li glanced at him and asked, "Do you disagree?"
Xie Zhengchuan shook his head. "No, I would agree, but he is different from Tiedan Baoya. He has a mother and a stepfather. If you really want to raise him, there will be a lot of problems in the future. You have to think it through."
"I know, but what kind of parents are people like that? Especially Qian Maizi, how can such a person be qualified to be a mother?"
Xie Zhengchuan held her hand and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean. Leave the rest to me. You just take good care of the child!"
Su Li looked at him suspiciously.
Xie Zhengchuan smiled, then suddenly lowered his head and hugged her in his arms, "You seem to have become a different person. I even wonder if your soul has been replaced."
Su Li's body froze after hearing this. "What...what nonsense are you talking about? You said before that Grandma Miao was feudal and superstitious. I think you are the same, humph!"
Su Li said as she pushed him away and turned to go into the ward.
Xie Zhengchuan looked at Su Li's back and frowned deeply.
It was almost noon when Dandan woke up. The little guy was still a little groggy when he woke up.
Seeing that Su Li was the only one in the ward, he suddenly felt a little nervous.
"Aunt..."
"Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Xiaodan shook his head. He didn't feel hungry yet. Su Li lifted the pillow behind him so that he could sit and lean against it.
Su Li pondered for a moment and said, "Damn it, Auntie said before that I would be your guardian, and you agreed. Let's have a good chat now. After all, you have a mother and a stepfather, so I want you to think it over carefully."
After hearing what Su Li said, Xiaodan's eyes instantly turned red, "Aunt... I..."
Su Li held his hand and continued, "Don't be sad. As long as you want to, you can live with me and your uncle Zhengchuan in the future. I promise to treat you the same as I treat Huzi and Shitou. You can go to school and live with them in the future. But even if Qian Maizi is wrong, she is still your mother. Auntie is not forbidding you to recognize her, but you have to think carefully about leaving her and living with us."
The little boy's body was shaking, tears falling from his eyes. "Aunt, she is not sure about being her son. She used to be so nice to me and always thought about me. But now I can feel that she doesn't like me and wants to stay away from me. She doesn't want me, and I don't want her either... woooo~"
Su Li held his face and wiped his tears. It seemed like the tears of such a young child could never be wiped away.
"Don't cry, child."
"Aunt, can I...can I really live with you?"
Xiaodan was both scared and excited. He had lost his father and grandmother before, and only his mother was with him. Although life was hard and sometimes he only had one meal a day, he was happy because he had his mother to take care of him.
Later, his mother couldn't stand such a hard life anymore and chose to get married. At first, Xie Sanwan treated him very well, but gradually, she became disgusted with him for eating for free and making him do all the dirty and tiring work.
He was not afraid of working, he was afraid... he was afraid that his aunt and Uncle Zhengchuan would hate him, as well as Tiedan and Huzi. Just thinking about them made him feel like he was losing his breath.
"Yes, as long as you are willing. The village chief has also agreed to help you, so don't worry!"
Su Li did not give him the chance to hesitate. She knew clearly the worries in Tiedan's heart. This child was as insecure as Tiedan and Baoya. Especially the pain brought by being hated by his closest relatives, he would probably be particularly sensitive and even have low self-esteem.
Xiaodan's tears flowed even more violently. He had been in darkness and was used to it. He never expected that dawn would reach out to him, so he also learned to embrace the dawn.
No matter how many years have passed, he can always remember this day. Even though he later held a high position, he learned to let more people embrace the dawn.
After recuperating in the hospital for a few days and the doctor repeatedly assured her that there was no problem, Su Li went through the discharge procedures.
Xie Zhengchuan rode his bicycle and took Su Li and Xiaodan directly home.
The kang in the east room was heated warmly, and the beddings were all new. Both Xie's father and mother were at home, and they obviously knew what Xie Zhengchuan and Su Li were thinking.
Xie's mother cooked a table full of dishes and even stewed pheasant soup specially for Xiaodan. Su Li knew at a glance that it was the pheasant that Xie Zhengchuan had hunted last time. It must have been Xie Zhengchuan's idea.
"Are you tired? Come sit down and eat."
Sitting at the dinner table, the family was silent.
I was a little nervous and overwhelmed.
Su Li coughed and said to the children, "From now on, Xiaodan will live with us. You can go to school and play together. You must learn to help and take care of each other. You will be brothers and sisters in the future, okay?"
Tiedan: "I understand, Mom, I will take care of you."
Hu Zi also expressed his determination, "Me too, me too, let's help each other."
Shitou and Baoya also nodded, and then quietly sat down next to Xiaodan.
Father Xie bought a small hat from somewhere and put it carefully on Xiaodan's head.
"It's cold, you have to keep warm. You just got out of the hospital, so you have to take care of your head and don't get caught in the cold."
Su Li didn't know that Tiedan and Huzi's children all had small gifts.
Tiedan gave him a picture book.
Hu Zi gave him his iron frog.
Shitou gave me a handful of his privately hidden water candy.
Baoya gave him her own little change.
Faced with the concern of so many people, Xiaodan felt more frightened than ever before!
"No...no gifts for me...and Baoya, why are you giving me money? I don't want it."
Su Li patted his hands, "Keep it! This is a token of my love. If you feel bad about it, just thank your grandparents, brothers and sisters."
Xiaodan's eyes were red. "Thank you... Thank you grandpa and grandma, thank you Tiedan, Huzi, Shitou, Baoya."
Thank you, father and mother, smiled and said, "Good boy, don't cry!"
Hu Zi went over and pulled him to sit at the dinner table. "It's not Hu Zi, it's my younger brother or sister."
Xiaodan wiped his tears and said, "Yes! They are my younger brothers and sisters." Then he opened his mouth and looked at them with a smile.
Several children burst into laughter.
