"Please show your ID card, household registration booklet and supporting documents again".

"Zheng Dinghao, 40 years old, unmarried......" Officer Wu looked through the information handed by the middle-aged man opposite with a slightly surprised look, and raised his eyes to look at him from time to time. "The materials are fine, I can issue you an adoption certificate, and then go to the orphanage to handle it, and then come here to register the household registration after the completion of the application. But...... Or do you want to ask, on your terms, why do you want to adopt a child? Don't you plan to get married?"

Zheng Dinghao nodded, and then smiled slightly, "Officer Wu, since there is no problem with the materials, I think this is my personal problem, I have already made a decision." ”

"Now that you've made your decision, I won't ask any more, and if you need help, you can come back to me." Officer Wu frowned, turned around and handed the opened certificate to Zheng Dinghao.

"Thank you very much for your help", Zheng Dinghao took the document, got up and shook hands with Officer Wu, and left in a hurry. Officer Wu stared blankly at the man's departing back.

"Hey, what's the fuss?" her colleague patted her.

"Oh, it's okay, I can't figure it out, the conditions are so good, and the people are good, why don't you get married and adopt a child?"

"Whatever, rich people can be demons, who can tell you what the situation is at home, let's go to dinner." The colleague looked at the time.

"That's right, let's go. ”

Zheng Dinghao went out and got into a Mercedes-Benz car, instructed the driver Lao Liu to go to the orphanage, and then opened the certificate issued to him by Officer Wu, and took out a photo from his wallet, which was a 6-year-old handsome little boy. Zheng Dinghao thought to himself: This boy was chosen by himself, and he must be allowed to grow up healthy and happy no matter what.

Outside the window, it is spring, the flowers are blooming beautifully, and the sun is warm.

The driver parked the car steadily: "Mr. Zheng, we have arrived." ”

Zheng Dinghao patted Lao Liu's shoulder: "Lao Liu, call me Mr. Zheng in the future, especially in front of children." ”

The driver was taken aback by the photograph and looked up in the rearview mirror: "Okay." Zheng Dinghao in the rearview mirror looks a little excited, but also a little kind, a kind of kindness that is difficult to see in a man who has just turned 40.

When Zheng Dinghao came to the hall, Dean Zhao of the orphanage was already waiting there, and the handsome-looking boy next to him was slightly sideways and hid behind Dean Liu.

Dean Zhao is always smiling and treats these children very well. I often buy some snacks and toys to share with them, and the children are also the closest to Dean Zhao.

When Dean Zhao saw Zheng Dinghao entering the door, he hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with him and greeted: "Mr. Zheng, thank you very much for your continuous support to our orphanage, which has greatly improved the living conditions of our orphanage, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you again on behalf of all the staff of our orphanage and these lovely children." As he spoke, Dean Zhao bent down and bowed.

Zheng Dinghao hurriedly helped Dean Zhao up: "You are too polite, the children can be well taken care of here, these subsidies are nothing." Zheng Dinghao looked at the boy hiding behind Dean Zhao, the boy was still half sideways, only showing one eye to look at the tall man in front of him, although he had seen it many times before, but this time the boy also knew in his heart that the man in front of him was going to take him away, although he had a good impression of him before, but he was always a little reluctant and scared when he thought of leaving Dean Zhao and leaving the orphanage to start a new life with him.

Dean Zhao turned around and squatted down and stroked the boy's head: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Xifan, this is Uncle Zheng, you've seen it many times, haven't you always said that you like Uncle Zheng very much, Uncle Zheng came to take you home this time." Dean Zhao handed over Xifan's hand to Zheng Dinghao.

Zheng Dinghao also squatted down to hold Xiao Xifan's hand, looked into his eyes with a loving smile, and also looked at himself in Xiao Xifan's eyes and the door of the hall behind him. Zheng Dinghao can feel Xiao Xifan's fear of himself, and he can also feel this child's infinite longing for the outside world. Zheng Dinghao got up: "Let's go, how about Uncle Zheng take you outside to play for a while?" Hearing that he was just playing outside for a while, Xiao Xifan was of course willing, after all, Zheng Dinghao often came to take them children to play in the yard before, not to mention that they could go outside to play this time. Zheng Dinghao took Xiao Xifan's hand, nodded to Dean Zhao, and walked out of the door of the hall. Xiao Xifan followed Zheng Dinghao's footsteps and looked back at Dean Zhao. Dean Zhao nodded and said softly, "Go, Xiao Xifan." ”

The sun gradually set, and when Zheng Dinghao took Xiao Xifan back to the orphanage again to greet Dean Zhao, it was already evening, Xiao Xifan rode on Zheng Dinghao's neck, holding the small toy he had just bought, and saw Dean Zhao signaling to come down. Then he ran to Dean Zhao's side, and gave Dean Zhao a big hug with tears in the corners of his eyes. Dean Zhao also squatted down and hugged Xiao Xifan, the time was frozen for a few seconds, and in these few seconds, Dean Zhao also had a lot of pictures of Xifan's childhood: eating with a table of children, Xifan always obediently did not have a grain of rice left; in the small classroom to learn counting, learn to write, Xifan is also the fastest to learn; clean the room, Xifan is also the most diligent; even in his free time, Xifan will lie on his shoulder to help him beat his shoulder. In Dean Zhao's view, Xifan is the most intimate child in the orphanage.

Dean Zhao gently patted Xiao Xifan's back, and then Xiao Xifan turned around and climbed onto Zheng Dinghao's neck and waved goodbye to Dean Zhao. Zheng Dinghao also shook hands with Dean Zhao to say goodbye. This time, Xiao Xifan still looked back at Dean Zhao, but he was not afraid, and all he left was longing.

To tell the truth, Dean Zhao admires Zheng Dinghao in his heart, whether it is impeccable in terms of value or conduct, but he didn't expect Xiao Xifan to adapt to this man so quickly, after all, he has also brought a child for many years, and he is somewhat reluctant.

Zheng Dinghao walked to the side of the car, and Lao Liu had been waiting for a long time. Without waiting for Lao Liu to speak, Zheng Dinghao first opened his mouth to introduce: "Xiao Xifan, this is Uncle Liu, this is Xiao Xifan, you have to get along well in the future." "Zheng ....." Lao Liu remembered Zheng Dinghao's words before, "Mr. Zheng, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of such a cute child." "Uncle Liu, hello," Xiao Xifan lowered his head and called softly.

"Let's go eat first" Zheng Dinghao touched Xiao Xifan's head: "Lao Liu, go to the hotel we booked before, it's late today, what procedures are there behind, let's do it tomorrow!"

"Okay, Mr. Zheng" Lao Liu looked at the rearview mirror, Xiao Xifan had fallen asleep leaning on Zheng Dinghao, thinking that he must be tired of playing, seeing Zheng Dinghao making a shushing gesture in the rearview mirror, Lao Liu started slowly and drove towards the hotel.
