Chapter VII Obstacles
Because of the rain, the sky seems a little gloomy, the clouds are very thick, and the pressure is a little low, and the wind blows the treetops, making rustling movements, and there is a unique beautiful rhythm, but at the moment Anjie has no time to care.
"Coach He, you're early..."
"You once briefly mentioned Gu Shunxi's situation to me, I have been a coach for so many years, I have seen many hard-born children, and I have also experienced various complicated situations, this time, it is not the time to talk harshly to parents and compare voices. We have to think of another way, if everything is as you say, thirteen years ago, Li Fengying picked up Gu Shunxi under an abandoned bridge in Baiquangou and brought her home to raise her. But in fact, the Gu family has never gone through the adoption registration or any adoption procedures, let alone the household registration, it is obvious that the conditions of the Gu family do not meet the conditions required for the adoption of abandoned infants, and they have not fulfilled the obligation of raising and educating in the process, so if we want to take Gu Shunxi to leave Baiquangou completely, the actual operation is very simple. ”
An Jie's face was happy, and the tight strings in her heart finally relaxed, she really didn't expect that such a tricky and difficult problem to solve in her eyes would be so simple.
However, although the Gu family did not go through the adoption notarization or registration procedures, there was indeed an adoption between them. ”
He Haocheng smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
"You're right, but I've consulted with a lawyer, and the key point here is that if the adopter does not fulfill his or her obligation to support him, and there are abuse, abandonment, and other acts that infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of the minor adopted child, the adoption relationship can be completely dissolved, and the adopted child is over ten years old, and the consent of the person is still required, and Gu Shunxi is thirteen years old this year, that is..."
They talked for a long time until they made sure that the whole plan was flawless and that there were no hidden dangers or worries.
"Coach He, I really didn't expect you to think about it so carefully, when I was in Baiquangou before, I was afraid that you would not accept her because of Gu Shunxi's family affairs. ”
He Haocheng shook his head and smiled.
"How could I not accept her? No coach would be willing to let go of such a talented child, and because of this, I must be more cautious, not to make a mistake, let her be buried in Baiquangou, and not to leave any hidden dangers to interfere with her future life. But at the end of the day, it's not something you and I can decide, it's up to the kid to think about it. You must know that for athletes, physical talent is one thing, mental quality is also an important factor, and a cowardly person will not succeed in any case. ”
An Jie's eyes lit up, and her hands were clasped together.
"So you didn't take her away today because of this?
"Nope. ”
He Haocheng pondered his words for a moment and spoke again: "This is a choice, if you don't even have this bit of courage, how will you stand on the track and compete for the first place in the future? You must know that what I want is never a country girl who runs fast, but a real athlete." You and I have paved the way for her, and all we can do now is wait. ”
He Haocheng's words finally made the big stone in An Jie's heart fall, but this night was still difficult for her to sleep, lying on the bed in the hotel tossing and turning, and her heart was very worried.
Looking at the moonlight outside the window, An Jie was distracted for a long time.
yes, wait for that kid to make a courageous choice.
But did she really have the courage to take that step?
The moonlight is the same, gently shining on Baiquangou, one hundred and fifty kilometers away, where there is also a person who can't sleep at night.
Late at night, the emptiness and loneliness began to envelop the whole village, under the moonlight, the simple and dilapidated courtyard also showed a rare cuteness, Gu Shunxi collapsed on the bed, his thoughts sank with his body, the ceiling in his vision gradually blurred, and the moon shone in through the window through the gap.
It's the only beauty she has
Is that all?
Gu Shunxi asked herself in a low voice, but she didn't know what to do to change the terrible situation
The windows of this room could not be closed, and the mountain breeze at night was very cool, pouring in from the thick gap in the palm, blowing cold on people's arms, Gu Shunxi heard the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and the sound blew away the only trace of sleepiness.
Lying on the hardwood bed, Gu Shunxi kept turning over, difficult to sleep, and finally simply got up from the bed, standing barefoot on the rough ground grinding his feet, his feet were a little cold, Gu Shunxi rubbed the soil under his feet with his toes, the touch was both real and illusory.
She didn't know how long she had been standing, anyway, it was so long that she felt that her legs were already sore, and the feeling of hunger, thirst and tiredness all hit, she half raised her head, the moon was half hidden in the clouds, Gu Shunxi suddenly thought of Xiao Yu's words.
I'm a burden, and I can't do anything but cause trouble to others.
Stretching out his hand, he pulled the shabby blue curtain that could barely be called a curtain, and took a few steps back, Gu Shunxi fell back on the bed.
However, this did not help, and the moonlight still shone through the tattered curtains. The moon always hangs there, and it doesn't really exist just because Gu Shunxi pretended it didn't exist.
If you haven't seen such beauty, you won't have a desire for it. Gu Shunxi may choose to compromise and choose to compromise. However, by mistake, she was allowed to see it.
Everything in that world made her yearn for it.
Thinking of this, Gu Shunxi got up again, jumped out of bed, opened the curtains, and stretched out her hand to the night sky, she bent her fingers slightly, as if she could catch the moon if she got closer
"Try again. ”
She heard herself in the dark.
The moonlight is still very bright, even if the sky is still dark now, but Gu Shunxi knows that it won't be long before there will be a faint light in the sky.
Tomorrow.
It's sure to be a sunny day.
Gu Shunxi opened the door in the early hours of the morning, it was the coldest and darkest time of the day, and the sky was dark as if soaked in ink.
Everything in the small courtyard was shrouded in a thin veil, revealing only a hazy outline.
tiptoed to close the door, although Gu Shunxi was careful and careful, the broken door that had fallen into disrepair still made a reluctant goodbye sound, and the heart that was frightened by the hoarse sound had not had time to calm down, and the next second, she was startled by a familiar voice again, and she almost didn't even have the courage to turn around.
"How did you get out?"
After being stunned for a few seconds, Gu Shunxi slowly turned around, she no longer remembered what the expression on her face was at that time, the only thing that remained in her memory was her hands and feet that were so stiff that she almost didn't obey the call.
The man on the opposite side beckoned to her, Gu Shunxi hesitated a few steps forward, her head hung down, she didn't dare to look at the twinkling stars in the sky, let alone look at Gu Shunyi's dark eyes.
She bent down, stretched out her hand to tuck the wind-blown blanket tightly, and squatted down for a long time before she mustered up the courage to raise her head and look up at the person in front of her.
"Brother. ”
His lips opened slightly, and it took him a long time to squeeze out such a word, and then he lowered his eyes,
Gu Shunyi smiled, stretched out his right hand and touched her cheek as if soothingly, the man's slender and emaciated fingers touched the slight coolness of the night.
He seems to have been waiting in the yard for a long time.
"I know where you're going, Shunxi, don't hesitate any longer, go boldly and boldly. ”
After a long silence, Gu Shunxi made a muffled voice.
"Don't you blame me? I left you alone, Aunt Feng is right, I am a white-eyed wolf with no conscience, you shouldn't have been..."
She was using these chatters to cover up her weakness, and as she spoke, as her emotions fluctuated, Gu Shunxi's voice unconsciously rose.
Gu Shunyi stretched out a finger and put it to her mouth.
"Shhhh
Gu Shunxi didn't dare to shout loudly, so he had to lower his voice.
"Brother, I'm sorry for you, I obviously promised my sister-in-law to heal your leg. ”
"Silly boy, you're not sorry for anyone. On the contrary, it is I who am sorry for you and brought you back to our home, but I have no ability to give you a happy life. I've been a wreck for a long time, and it really doesn't matter if this leg is good or bad, but you're different. ”
As if he hadn't heard it, Gu Shunxi was still staring at the ground, and his right foot was restlessly swiping left and right on the ground. She felt guilty and embarrassed, she made such a choice like a deserter, no matter what the reason, she could not hide the cowardly truth that she wanted to escape.
"Shunxi, are you listening to me? ”
The night breeze blew, and the weak wind shook the poplar trees, Gu Shunxi stared at the trembling emerald green leaves, a little distracted. Gu Shunyi cupped the girl's cheek and forced her to raise her head, their eyes meeting each other.
"Shunxi, listen up, you are my hope. You always say that if it weren't for me, you would have died a long time ago. But what you don't know is that if it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago. I was there on that bridge to end my life. But when I looked under the bridge, I found you. Shun Xi, you were picked up by me, as if it were an extension of life. My dream ended long ago on the day of my broken leg, and I am destined to never be able to walk out of Baiquangou in this life, but you can. Now that the opportunity for change is in front of you, you have to seize it without hesitation and get out of here. ”
Gu Shunxi fell on Gu Shunyi's knees, tears flowing uncontrollably.
Gu Shunyi gently patted the girl's back, he understood that Gu Shunxi was hesitant at the moment.
The child in front of her knew very well what she was going to do, she just had worries and baggage in her heart.
And he was the obstacle that stood in her way.
Gu Shunyi gently stroked the top of her head, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.
"Let's go, go on the roads I can't walk, go to see the scenery I can't see, live a decent life, or never come back to see me. ”
In the night wind, the man's deep voice was a little ethereal, as if the dream in his heart of being amputated along with his legs had been scattered with the wind.
Gu Shunxi squeezed out a few broken words from between his teeth.
"Brother, I'm sorry. ”
