When Kevin and his wife, Christina, came to our house again, it was the spring season.

This time, Kevin's Chinese level is much better than last time, he can almost use various Chinese words fluently, and he is also fluent in answering various questions, and his wife's Chinese can also communicate simply.

As soon as Kevin entered the door, he shouted like an old friend: "Hello old man!", after speaking, he stretched out his arms and gave his grandfather a big hug, although grandpa knew a little about the etiquette of one or two foreigners, but in public, it was the first time to be hugged by a foreigner like this, the embarrassed grandfather didn't know where to put his two hands, and then the same hug was given to the uncle, he smiled and said: "Ladies, I won't hug me, you care about this very much, this is done by my wife." ”

Christina followed her husband's example and hugged her grandmother and Aunt Yan.

After greeting for a while, Kevin said straightforwardly: "I came this time because I want to discuss something with your family, I don't like to beat around the bush when I speak, let's get straight to the point today, I want to adopt a child of yours." ”

Kevin's straightforward words did suddenly make the family members present, and Kevin saw that everyone was puzzled, so he told the family the truth:

Kevin quit his job after returning to China last time, and when discussing with Mark, Mark said that he would come back to China later because of other things. Kevin took his wife to the capital Beijing, Kevin entered a German-funded enterprise, specializing in the import and export of precision machinery, is a technical guidance and installation project leader, Christina went to a university to teach German, and signed up to learn Chinese in her spare time.

Christina likes children very much, but the couple have been married for several years without children, Kevin and his wife discussed and went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, as soon as the results came out, Christina was like five thunderbolts, she could not have children because of physiological reasons. Christina was in great pain, and Kevin also comforted her and said that we could treat it slowly, but Christina knew very well that her condition was very serious and there was no way to treat it, and she even thought about divorce.

Kevin knew his wife's feelings, so he did everything he could to appease Christina and finally settle down.

Suddenly, one day, Kevin saw Kangkang's portrait of them, and said to Christina on a whim: "Honey, how about we go and raise a Chinese child?

Christina was also very happy to hear this, so she agreed with Kevin's idea, and Kevin continued: "Honey, let's go to Mr. Xiaosi's house to find your favorite child and bring it back, you can choose the boys and girls, do you think this is good?"

The two of them thought about it, and they went straight to our house that weekend.

Kevin finished the briefing, and this time it stumped our family.

Grandpa knows that all the children are grandma's heart, and taking any one of them is as uncomfortable as sticking a knife in grandma's heart.

So when Kevin finished speaking, the whole family was silent and didn't answer Kevin's words.

Kevin seemed to have something in mind, and he said, "We also sincerely want to adopt a child we love, and we will treat her with all our heart and soul like you, as if it were our own." ”

The family was still silent.

Christina was a little impatient and said, "And we can also give appropriate financial compensation." ”

Grandpa immediately said: "We don't mean that, what compensation is not compensated, don't mention this again, Kevin, you really have a big problem for our family, you know?"

Kevin asked suspiciously: "Why do you use the word big problem? What are you worried about? Or do you think we are foreigners? I really don't understand why it is a big problem, most of your children are also adopted, why can't we share a little for you? Oh, I seem to understand a little, are you worried about legal problems? It doesn't matter, we can hire a lawyer and go through the formal legal route." ”

Grandpa shook his head and said, "Kevin, you misunderstood, what you said is not right, we didn't think about it that way, you have been learning Chinese for so long, you should know that there is an idiom called' Flesh and blood are connected', although these children are not our own family, but when they come to our family, they are biological, no matter what the children have such and such problems and shortcomings, none of us in the family dislike, we also deeply love these children who have suffered since childhood, especially my old woman, since the fourth child was sick, she can not see other children suffering, suffering, Wronged, this is also the main reason why our family wants to raise children abandoned by others, every child is a baby bump in our family, can you understand when I say this?"

Kevin understood most of it, but Christina looked at her husband suspiciously, wanting to hear him explain it to her, and Kevin looked at his wife and said what Grandpa meant.

Christina thought for a while before saying in unskilled Chinese: "Old man, we don't want your family's bones and flesh to be separated, we like your family's children, the children were adopted by us, aren't we a family?" Bones and flesh are still together, not separated, we live in Beijing now, if we want to come back, come back to see you, we can also call at any time, we can also email the child's situation in the form of photos or videos, you can also see the child's life every day, that is, we will go back to our country in the future, the child also has the right to choose, we will not force her, can you understand my explanation?"

Christina's half-cooked Chinese made the grandparents cry and laugh, but the sincerity and sincerity of the language still deeply touched the grandparents, and it was really hard to refuse, after all, the child's future still looks very bright, and I don't want to ruin the child's future for my own selfishness.

Although they didn't know anything about e-mail, they just thought it might have something to do with computers, because they had seen two teachers always holding a laptop and discussing something on it. And they have been shouting when our village will be able to connect to the Internet, and these grandparents don't know anything.

In the end, the grandmother endured the heartache and asked, "Do you have any children in the picture?"

Christina, who seemed to have thought about it for a long time, pointed to Nana and said, "My favorite last time was her, what is her name?"

When my grandmother heard this, she looked at Nana, and her heart was sour.

Aunt Yan was also extremely uncomfortable when she saw it, so she wanted to stop it, and when she saw that her grandmother's eyes were already red, she knew that her grandmother had already made a decision.

Grandma looked at Aunt Yan again and said softly: "Yan'er, I think Kevin's family is good, Nana is blessed, my mother will ask you again, what do you think?"

As soon as the words came out, grandma's tears fell, but Aunt Yan didn't answer, turned her back to sobbed softly.

Kevin saw it and said, "We promise to give the child a good life, a good education, and let her grow up healthy and happy." ”

Christina nodded in agreement.

Grandma wiped the tears from her face, forced a smile and said: "Then you are familiar with Nana first, my opinion, let's not rush through the formalities first, you can take the child back to live for a while, if everything is fine, let's take the next step." After speaking, he looked at his grandfather.

Grandpa also had a solemn expression on his face, nodded and didn't speak, agreeing with grandma's opinion.

When the grandparents and Kevin were chatting, Aunt Yan quietly came to the uncle, and Aunt Yan wanted the uncle to express his opinion, or make any different movements, just like when he was not satisfied, he would use crutches to pestle the ground heavily, so that Nana would not leave.

But the uncle was calm as if nothing had happened, still sitting quietly, the cane in his hand did not move at all, and Aunt Yan herself shed tears and sighed softly.

Nana seems to really have a relationship with Christina, the last time they met for the first time, Christina wanted to touch her and Zhe Zhe and Qingqing, and the other two little ones hurriedly avoided it, but Nana not only let Christina touch her little face, but also giggled, Christina held hands with her, and she also obediently held her hand and did not let go.

Grandma shouted, "Nana, come, grandma has something to say to you." ”

When Nana heard her grandmother's shout, she spread her calves and ran over and threw herself into her grandmother's arms, and her grandmother hugged Nana and held back her tears and said, "Nana, do you still know this uncle and aunt?" Grandma pointed to Kevin.

Nana shook her head and shouted, "Hello uncle and aunt!"

Christina smiled and stretched out her hand and said, "Nana, will you come to Auntie's place?"

Nana looked up at her grandmother and Aunt Yan, and threw herself into Christina's arms, her watery eyes looked at this aunt who looked very different from ours, but she had a slight smile on her face, not knowing that the fate of her life would usher in a new turn.

In the afternoon, when Kevin and his wife took Nana away, Aunt Yan hugged Nana and said, "Go and play with Auntie for a few days, you must be obedient, don't lose your temper, don't cry." ”

Nana held one of her favorite toys in her arms and nodded.

Just when Christina was about to take her, the uncle standing beside Yan Gu suddenly stretched out his hand and made a gesture of holding the child, Yan Gu handed it to the uncle in a hurry, and there was a burst of joy in her heart, she hoped that things would be reversed.

Uncle hugged Nana, and Nana shouted sweetly: "Dad!"

At this time, Aunt Yan noticed that the uncle's two arms around Nana hugged Nana tightly, with a relieved smile on his face.

The uncle hugged for more than ten seconds before sending Nana out steadily, Christina saw this, and immediately took it, Nana smiled and said to the uncle: "Dad, goodbye!", and waved goodbye to the family.

Kevin stepped forward and hugged Uncle again, muttering something in Uncle's ear, and then said to everyone with a smile: "Don't worry, we are relatives now, and we will come and go often in the future! Goodbye, relatives!"

The car was out of the family's sight, the family was still standing in place and looking into the distance, the children were ignorant, they didn't speak, only Kang Kang said the last two words: "Gone!"

In the evening of the next day, Nana's voice came over the phone, and Nana told her grandparents on the phone that she had arrived in Beijing and liked Beijing so much, and her grandmother said that if you like it, you can stay in Beijing and come back to see grandma often.

After grandma finished speaking, tears rained down again.
