"Comrade Chen, hello Comrade Gu." Dean Zhu reacted and quickly put down the account book in his hand to move stools for the two of them.
According to her past experience, the couple usually came here for adoption matters. Seeing the extraordinary conversation between the two, especially when Gu Xingdong was a soldier, Dean Zhu couldn't help but feel more at ease.
She was more happy than anything else if the children could find a good home.
When Chen Lishu saw that she was going to pour water after moving the stool, she quickly stopped her.
"Dean Zhu, I'm sure you can guess a bit when we come here today. My husband and I want to adopt Ruirui. Is that possible?"
"Okay, why not." When he heard that it was just as he had guessed, the smile on Dean Zhu's face became more enthusiastic: "You guys sit down first, I will call Ruirui over."
Dean Zhu said and went out quickly. After a while, he came in with a little boy of three or four years old. It was Ruirui.
He got much better after being hospitalized last time, but although he no longer had a fever, he seemed to be suffering from a fever, and his cheeks were still a little sickly red.
When she saw Chen Lishu, Ruirui opened her mouth and shouted happily: "Auntie."
Her eyes fell on Gu Xingdong next to her, and she saw that he was wearing a military uniform. Ruirui didn't understand the difference between military uniforms and public security uniforms at all. The smile on her face hadn't fully spread, and she hid behind Dean Zhu with her frightened little body.
.
But out of curiosity, I couldn't help but poke my little head out.
"Come here." Gu Xingdong waved to him, but Ruirui shrank back in fright.
"Don't be afraid, they will be your parents in the future. How does Mother Zhu teach you? You must not be rude." Dean Zhu was afraid that the child would regret it if he was not sensible, so he quickly pulled Rui Rui away from him.
Drag it out behind you.
Being pushed out suddenly, Xiao Ruirui felt aggrieved and looked at Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong timidly without saying a word.
Chen Lishu said with a smile: "Ruirui is still a bit unfamiliar to us, so don't worry at this moment."
Dean Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her words.
Things went smoothly. It didn't take a whole morning. All the procedures were completed. Rui Rui's name was also placed in the couple's household registration book. From today on, they will be called Gu Rui.
Because they didn't know the date of birth, the two of them followed Dean Zhu's advice and decided that they were four years old, and their birthdays were set on the day of adoption.
Before officially taking Gu Rui away, Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong went to the grocery store to buy five kilograms of white flour and one kilogram of candy for the welfare home.
"As the Chinese New Year is approaching, let's improve the food for the children." Gu Xingdong said and handed the things to Dean Zhu.
A group of children saw the two people carrying things in. They all curiously lifted the door frame and peeked in with their little heads. When they saw the candy, their eyes suddenly showed a look of longing, and they all made swallowing movements in unison.
Until they took Ruirui's hand and left, the longing eyes of the children seemed to be still dazzling in front of Chen Lishu.
"Ruirui, um, mom will take you to the store to buy fabrics. How about we make new clothes?" Leng Buding became a mother, and Chen Lishu was not used to it for a while.
Ruirui nodded in confusion, vaguely knowing that after leaving the orphanage, he would live with the two people in front of him. Thinking of the mothers and children in the orphanage, he always felt a little depressed.
Gu Xingdong saw everything in his eyes, and suddenly bent over and picked up Ruirui, who had short arms and legs. He smiled at Chen Lishu and said, "Okay, I didn't expect that I won't be a father, but I will have a father as soon as I become a father."
Such a big son."
Suddenly leaving the ground, Ruirui hugged Gu Xingdong's neck in fear. When he opened his eyes and found that he had become taller, there was a trace of novelty and excitement in his eyes.
Gu Xingdong suddenly became happy, raised his eyebrows at Chen Lishu, and showed off: "Did you see, our son will definitely kiss me in the future."
Chen Lishu smiled helplessly: "Slow down, don't scare the child."
Gu Xingdong raised his arm and bumped Dian Ruirui's butt: "This kid is walking too slowly. It's so cold outside. Don't let the child freeze. Let's go quickly."
Chen Lishu nodded, and the family of three quickly took a car to the commercial street. Chen Lishu directly bought two meters of fabric, a pound of cotton, and two pairs of sweaters and trousers.
The three of them were happily shopping in the mall, but there was no smile on the faces of the Wu family, Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Xiaohui. On the contrary, Lin Xiaohui was anxious and scared at the moment.
"Sister, what should I do?"
Lin Xiaohui's voice was filled with tears: "Their family is particularly interested in the child in my belly. However, I was obviously pregnant and I vomited. Didn't you also see it? Why is it my period? I'm getting married tomorrow.
, what should I do if Cheng Ming finds out?"
Although she was deeply disappointed with Lin Xiaohui, she was his biological sister after all, and now that she was the only relative around her, Lin Xiaoyue's cold face gradually softened.
"Xiaohui, if Lu really cares about you, it doesn't matter whether he has a child in his belly or not. If he only cares about children, it proves that he doesn't love you at all. Besides, your brother-in-law and I have already told you
,The person named Lu is not a good person at all..."
When Lin Xiaohui heard that she was still talking bad about Lu Chengming, she stamped her feet angrily: "Why are you talking about this again? He got divorced because of me. Isn't this enough to prove that he loves me? Besides, what's the use of saying this now? I'm getting married tomorrow.
!”
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head helplessly, knowing that she was determined to marry Lu Chengming, so she stopped talking.
"No, I have to have this child. Sister, you don't know how happy Cheng Ming was when he found out I was pregnant."
"Paper can't stop the fire. He will have to know sooner or later that you are not pregnant at all. Besides, you can get pregnant slowly in the future, so why rush it now."
"You don't understand at all. I heard that the one in front of me didn't get pregnant for several years. How can I be treated the same when I got pregnant right after I walked in?"
The more Lin Xiaohui talked about it, the more she felt that the child in her belly was a baby bump. After thinking about it, she said: "Anyway, I'm going to keep it for now, and then I'll find an opportunity to abort it after two months. By then, no one will know, and their family also said
Nothing comes out."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Lin Xiaoyue knew that no more persuasion would help, so she took a look at her son, who was walking back and forth on the table, and got up to go back to the house.
He quickly took out fifty yuan and said: "You will get married tomorrow. This is something your brother-in-law and I want to do. From now on, your life will not be the same as at home. You should pay attention to everything."
Lin Xiaohui didn't pay attention to what Lin Xiaoyue said next. She took the money from her hand and said happily: "Thank you, sister, and brother-in-law."
…
After Chen Lishu bought all the things she wanted to buy, the family of three took the car back to the military area.
Facing the unfamiliar environment, Ruirui's little face remained tense until she entered the house and saw the meowing 'king' standing at the entrance, and her eyes finally showed the curiosity and love that a child should have.
