Things went unusually smoothly, first the fifth uncle put the construction funds in one step, and then the land problem was solved by dividing five by two, and the next step was to level the land, plan and build.

Grandpa and Father inspected the stone pit a few times, measured its dimensions, and prepared to fill it with gravel and loess on the side of the mountain.

At the same time, the length and width were measured, and the second brother-in-law was asked to find someone to help find a professional design of the construction drawings.

When the people in the village learned the news, they came to help, as long as the strong laborers who were not busy at home had cars out of the car, and some people came out. Grandpa said to pay the salary, but no one asked for it, so he shouted at his grandfather: "Get it and put it in the middle of the show." ”

Within ten days, a huge pit had been filled, and my father's previous homestead was four or five hundred square meters.

According to the drawings of the area design, the grandparents did not understand, and under the explanation of the designers, the grandparents knew about the appearance of the welfare institute in the future: this is the design of a two-story small building, the second floor is the dormitory, two large rooms, each room can accommodate six to eight children, separate toilets and washrooms. Three small rooms for two children and one adult, also have separate bathrooms.

Upstairs is a ramp for wheelchair access and stairs. There are two bedrooms on the first floor, designed for children who can't go up and down the stairs, and the other three rooms are two large classrooms and a recreation room.

There is also a small boiler room on the side of the building, which is equipped with different sets of radiators in each room for hot water and winter heating in the future.

This is the east and west main buildings, and the north and south bungalows are dining rooms, baths, and kitchens, and all living facilities are available.

There is an awning in the yard that is level with the second floor, so even if it rains on a cloudy day, it will not affect the children's activities. The yard is also designed with a variety of children's entertainment facilities and activity venues.

The grandparents were happy and said, "It's much more thoughtful than those of us who have never seen the world, so that the children can grow up with peace of mind and happiness." ”

The construction team is the son of an old colleague invited by the father of the third brother-in-law, who is the leader of the county's construction and installation company, and the package ticket says that it will be completed on time with quality and quantity.

After Mr. Liu learned the news from Qiangzi, he told Qiangzi: "Since someone has taken the lead to get the construction funds, then let's take all the remaining furniture, living facilities, kitchen facilities and entertainment facilities all, remember that it must be the best." ”

It seemed that a very troublesome and tricky thing was completed smoothly in less than half a year with the concerted efforts of everyone and the help of everyone.

During the period, the fifth uncle once took Meimei to the hospital for a second operation, and when he came back, he hugged Meimei, and when he looked at the spacious and bright two-story building that had just been completed, he said to his grandparents with tears in his eyes: "Dad, mother, we have done a great good thing!"

The grandparents said, "Who said it wasn't? ”

The fifth uncle choked back tears: "It's not me, it's the fourth brother! He should get a special military merit medal!"

The fifth uncle held back tears of joy and said, "Mother, according to me once, how about I give this welfare home a name, just call it 'Happy Garden'?"

Grandma said, "Okay, that's good, I just want the children to have a happy childhood." Xiao Wu, the money you gave your mother hasn't been spent, so I'll go home and give you the card in a while. ”

The fifth uncle said: "Don't give it to me, mother, there will be more places to use money in the future, and you will have to work hard in the future. ”

Grandpa said: "I have already discussed with your mother, we are not hot-headed to run this school, you have done it to build a building and contribute, and the money is all done by you, and it will be our task in the future. ”

That being said, in the days to come, the grandparents were really heartbroken, busy for half their lives, and the rest of their lives were devoted to strange children who were not related to them.

The new child has not yet arrived, but the first child has a parent who wants to pick it up.

Just when the main project of the 'Happy Garden' was nearing completion, one afternoon, two people suddenly came to the house.

Grandparents are fiddling with the newly harvested buns in the yard, Feifei and Meimei are also helping and busy with the work, Feifei uses her feet to gather the scattered together, Meimei picks them up one by one and puts them next to her grandparents.

The four grandchildren were very busy, and two people, a man and a woman, came in at the door.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, the man shouted first: "Is this the benefactor's home?"

The grandparents turned around and saw the person who entered the door, a middle-aged man and a woman in her twenties.

The man's dress looks like an authentic rural man, not tall, the skin on his face is tanned and shiny, there are several forehead lines on his head, a pair of small eyes are very flexible, he looks around when he enters the door, wearing a camouflage shirt, blue pants, and a pair of rubber shoes on his feet.

The woman is very young, in her early twenties, with short hair that reaches her ears, she is not beautiful, her facial features are quite upright, she is very short, less than one meter and a half by sight, and she is dressed very old-fashioned, and her old-fashioned gray top has a button off, and she is also blue pants and rubber shoes.

Without waiting for the grandparents to ask, the two of them knelt on the ground at a long distance, and then the two of them cried loudly, shouting: "Thank you, thank you, great benefactor!"

The two kissed in unison, shouted very neatly, and burst into tears.

The grandparents threw down the buns in their hands and trotted over, and the grandfather said as he ran, "Get up! Get up! ”

After picking up the two people, the crying of the two people stopped, and the tears in their eyes did not fall at all, it was really dry thunder and no rain, just like pretending to show people.

The grandparents looked at the two people strangely and asked them, "Where are you from? Why are you like this?" Grandpa could tell that the accent was not local.

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, aunt, you are my great benefactor, and we are here to thank you today." ”

Grandma said, "Don't say thank you yet, let's make things clear." "Grandma saw what they had just done, and she felt a little unhappy in her heart. Because grandma has seen a lot, those who sincerely thank her are sincere and do not cheat a little, but the performance of the two people in front of her is like acting.

Grandpa beckoned the two of them to come into the house and sit down, so he hugged Feifei with one hand and sat down, and grandma sat down with Meimei in her arms.

The middle-aged man took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and respectfully handed it to his grandfather, who said, "No, no, you can smoke it yourself." ”

The middle-aged man ordered it by himself, and the woman next to him sat there without saying a word, and her face was not crying, and she looked very normal.

He took a puff before slowly saying, "Uncle, we came this time to bring the child back." ”

When Grandpa heard this: "Take the child, is your child at our house?" After speaking, he couldn't help but hug Feifei.

The middle-aged man said, "Yes, but it's not these two children, it's the stupid one who drools all the time." ”

Grandma and grandpa said at the same time: "Kangkang?" and then looked at each other.

Grandma asked, "Why do you say Kang Kang is your child?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Auntie, I admit that it was all our fault, we were confused for a while, and we couldn't think about it for a while before we sent Xiaojinshan to your house, oh, that Jinshan is now called Kangkang?"

Grandma still asked questioningly, "Do you have any credentials? How old was Kangkang, who did you send it to?"

The middle-aged man saw his grandmother's distrustful gaze, and smiled lightly bitterly: "Auntie, we didn't tell you, five years ago on October 3rd, I gave the child to your fourth child on the mountain, I have been wandering around all afternoon that day, I really can't bear it, I really can't help it, who can bear to leave my own flesh and blood." After saying that, he touched his tears with his sleeve.

When the woman saw him like this, she also sobbed a few times, and the tears swirled in her eyes and did not flow out.

Grandpa let go of Feifei at this time and got up and walked into the house, and when he came out after a while, he took a notebook and looked at it as he walked.

When Grandpa sat down, Grandma looked at Grandpa, and Grandpa said, "You said that your day was good, so do you have any other certificates?"

The middle-aged man said unhurriedly: "Uncle, how can my own child not know, when he came, he was wrapped in a small blue quilt, and the child inside was still wearing a fancy child's clothes." And the most important thing is that the child has an egg-sized birthmark on his left arm. Auntie, you must have seen it too. We are really Jinshan, ah, no, Kangkang's father. ”

After listening to this, Grandpa nodded lightly knowing that it matched the time and characteristics of the child's arrival at our house recorded by the mother at that time.

The careful mother brought it up to make a record, saying that in case the child's biological parents come to find it in the future, we might as well have a piece of evidence, so don't let people claim it.

When grandma saw her grandfather's actions and knew that it was really Kangkang's biological parents, her suspicion suddenly disappeared, and a strong sense of loss immediately came to her heart.

Thinking that Kang Kang may be away from this home soon, grandma felt very uncomfortable, and the grandfather next to him couldn't turn this corner for a while, and didn't know how to solve this problem, after all, Kang Kang and they have been together day and night for five years, not to mention the deep feelings, it really hurts to let Kang Kang go like digging their hearts with a knife!

Grandma tried to calm herself down before asking, "Then what was the big difficulty for you to lose the child to Si'er?"

The middle-aged man first sighed, and then said: " I don't hide from my uncle and aunt, I'm an old bachelor, I didn't find such a little daughter-in-law until I was in my thirties, when we got married, their family did not agree, she was secretly married to me under the pressure of the whole family, she was only nineteen years old at that time, we had a son Jinshan after a year of marriage, our good days just began, that knows that God is not long-sighted, she started to work after giving birth to a child, less than half a year turned out to have a serious illness, we ran all over the large and small hospitals, all the family's savings were spent, and I didn't see a cure, I bought the only house in my family, I wanted to cure my daughter-in-law's illness, but my daughter-in-law's illness was not curedIn the hospital, the doctor saw the child in her arms and said that the child also had a problem, so we examined the child again, and we were scared when we checked it, and the child was born with dementia. We cried and cried, we had no relatives, she also cut off contact with her mother's family, the only house was gone, and there were two patients, and there was no way to live. ”

The middle-aged man wiped his tears, and then said: "At that time, I called the sky not to work, and the earth should not be, and there was no way at all, or a patient in the hospital told me that there was a 'god man' in Zaohu Resort, who specializes in treating children's diseases. I thought about it and decided to give the child to you on the way, the child is lucky to have a life, and I can't see it without it, and my heart is not so sad. ”

Most of the middle-aged men's lies really made the tears of their grandparents fall down.
