Chapter 06: Adoption
Even if Song Shiling didn't say that, Yang Shuyuan would ask Song Shiling if she was willing to be his daughter. He didn't dare to imagine how a primary school student with no relatives would live next, and he was willing to adopt her, even though Song Shiling was not his biological daughter, he was willing to treat her as his own.
Yang Shuyuan was worried that Song Shiling, who had been drenched in the rain for a while and had been in a daze for a while, would catch a cold and fever. Yang Shuyuan took advantage of the rain to get lighter and took Song Shiling to the mall to buy her a new dress to change into. Song Shiling likes the new dress she wears now, and since her parents died, no one has brought her to buy clothes.
The moonlight was bright, the stars were bright, and there was still rain on the ground, and Yang Shuyuan led Song Shiling to cross together.
The smell of mutton skewers was smelled by Song Shiling, and immediately, her stomach gurgled, and she grabbed Yang Shuyuan to stop, her eyes beating with a hint of longing.
Yang Shuyuan was a little confused, "What's wrong?" Then he also smelled the fragrance of mutton skewers before he suddenly realized, and took out money from his trouser pocket to buy ten skewers for Song Shiling.
She stared at the fragrant lamb skewers, swallowed her saliva, and ate it in a big gulp the next second.
Walking to the gate, Yang Shuyuan stopped and turned around, looking at the nervous Song Shiling with bright eyes, "Uncle's family is very good, they won't bully you, don't be afraid, child." ”
Seeing a hint of relief on Song Shiling's face, Yang Shuyuan brought her into the house.
It was 9 p.m. when I got home. Yang Shuyuan's wife Liu Manwen is used to going to bed early at this point in time, since Yang Shuyuan told her about Song Shiling's situation on the phone, she and her husband Yang Shuyuan have the same idea and are willing to adopt Song Shiling. She was looking forward to meeting Song Shiling tonight, but Zhou Gong came, she lay on her side on the sofa in the living room, her mouth slightly open, and her snoring came and went. Yang Shuyuan reached out to touch Liu Manwen's face, although the movement was light, it still woke her up.
"I'm back!" Liu Manwen opened his eyes and saw that it was Yang Shuyuan, and said with a smile.
Yang Shuyuan leaned down and looked directly into Liu Manwen's eyes, and asked softly, "Why don't you go back to your room to sleep when you're sleepy?"
Liu Manwen pinched Yang Shuyuan's face, "Of course I'm waiting for you and Shiling......" Her gaze moved to Song Shiling, who was standing motionless in the entrance, and her voice was stunned, and then the whole person greeted her warmly, and said word by word, "Shiling looks so cute." ”
Song Shiling's heart was beating violently, she was so nervous that she didn't dare to raise her head, and hurriedly bowed deeply to Liu Manwen, "Hello Auntie, my name is Song Shiling." ”
Liu Manwen asked Song Shiling to raise her head, rubbed her forehead and cheeks with her palms, and finally stayed on the back of Song Shiling's small hand, which was warm and reassuring, "Child, from now on, this is your home, as long as you don't dislike Auntie, Auntie is willing to be your mother." ”
The behavior of the middle-aged woman in front of her reminded Song Shiling of Liang Yunxuan. Song Shiling's face was full of tears, and in her blurred vision, Liu Manwen turned into Liang Yunxuan's face, smiling at her, calling her name, in the blink of an eye, the familiar face was gone, and there was a strange but gentle face in front of her.
Liu Manwen panicked when she saw this, she blamed herself in her heart for being too anxious and frightened Song Shiling, how could a child who had lost so many relatives at once recognize others as his father and mother so quickly.
"Well, Shiling doesn't cry. It's the aunt who is too anxious, so Shiling doesn't want to call it. Come, Auntie will take you to the kitchen to drink ginger soup. ”
Liu Manwen scooped a bowl of ginger soup for Song Shiling and Yang Shuyuan in the kitchen, "You two are drenched in the rain today, your body is cold, drink ginger soup to warm up." ”
The heat hit Song Shiling's face, and after she finished drinking the soup with both hands, she blinked and said to Liu Manwen with wet eyes, "It's delicious." The body seems to be warming up a little. ”
Liu Manwen smiled, "Shiling still wants to drink? ”
At this time, Song Shiling took the second bowl of ginger soup from Liu Manwen's hand and heard the sound of running down from upstairs, she jumped down from the chair in fear and hid behind Yang Shuyuan's chair.
"Dad!" Yang Shuyuan's eldest daughter Yang Huiyuan and youngest daughter Yang Jingjing ran to the kitchen and shouted in unison.
"How long has it been since Daddy came back, you two have only come downstairs to see me now. Yang Shuyuan pretended to be serious.
Yang Jingjing naughtily walked around Yang Shuyuan, "Dad is not angry, my sister and I planned to hide in the closet of the room to scare Dad, but Dad just didn't go upstairs to look for us, so we came down." ”
When Yang Jingjing saw Shiling, she suddenly stopped, pointed at Song Shiling and raised her head and asked Yang Shuyuan, "Dad, who is she?"
Song Shiling took a few steps back in a panic and almost tripped over the foot of the chair, but fortunately, Liu Manwen helped her in time.
Yang Shuyuan lowered his head and looked at Yang Jingjing and Song Shiling, "Jingjing, this is your sister Shiling, Shiling, this is your sister Jingjing, and that is Sister Huiyuan." ”
"Shiling is going to live with us in the future, and my mother hopes that Huiyuan and Jingjing can get along with Shiling in harmony. Is it good?" Liu Manwen said.
Yang Jingjing walked slowly towards Song Shiling, leaned forward to look at Song Shiling, and then hugged her, "I like Sister Shiling!"
At half past ten o'clock in the evening, Yang Huiyuan, Yang Jingjing and Song Shiling lay side by side. Yang Huiyuan obviously felt that Song Shiling was afraid of life and sad. She and Yang Jingjing racked their brains and thought of a lot of jokes to Song Shiling in turn, and the two also talked about the troubles when they were children, and their mouths were dry.
"Shiling, did anything interesting happen to you when you were a child?" Yang Huiyuan really couldn't move, and threw the topic to Song Shiling, who was speechless.
Song Shiling didn't have a cold scene, thought for a while and smiled bitterly, "No." ”
......
Song Shiling has been at Yang Shuyuan's house for a while, and Yang Shuyuan's family has taken good care of her, she sees it in her eyes and remembers it in her heart. However, she has always been a little distant from this family.
Not long ago, Yang Shuyuan completed some formalities such as the adoption certificate, went home and told Song Shiling that he had changed her name to "Yang Ling." "In order for her to go to a new school and live a better life with a new identity. Yang Shuyuan believes that there is still a long way to go, and he is willing to take Song Shiling to walk well and take his time.
Song Shiling understood Yang Shuyuan's good intentions and agreed.
One night, Song Shiling woke up from a dream, she crept up and came to the balcony to open the window to breathe.
The summer breeze blew through the ends of her hair and her sad eyes.
Yang Shuyuan, who got up at night, saw Song Shiling standing barefoot on the balcony, his hair was scattered, and he was so frightened that he was completely sleepy, "Xiaoling, what are you doing standing there?" he turned on the light and asked.
"Uncle Shuyuan, I'm a little hungry. Song Shiling's black round eyes looked at Yang Shuyuan without blinking.
Yang Shuyuan turned out a few eggs and a few ham sausages in the kitchen to cook noodles for Song Shiling, and served them to Song Shiling in the pot.
After Song Shiling drank the noodle soup, Yang Shuyuan was curious about how this child had such a big appetite and was still so thin.
Yang Shuyuan cleaned up the pot and went to the sink to scrub it, and paused for a while, "Xiaoling, uncle will definitely help you find your grandparents, grandmothers and sisters." ”
During this time, Yang Shuyuan was silently observing her every move. Liu Manwen took her to the mall to buy new clothes, she was absent-minded, Yang Huiyuan and Yang Jingjing played with rag dolls for her, she was not interested, even he took Song Shiling to the zoo to play, she couldn't be happy, and finally she bought a drawing book and a box of crayons in the stationery store, and each page was painted by Song Jie and her, as well as her grandparents.
Song Shiling's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "Thank you, Uncle Shuyuan......"
Yang Shuyuan nodded and said slowly, "Don't worry about Xiaoling, what my uncle promised Xiaoling will definitely be completed." The day after tomorrow, Xiaoling will go to the new school to report, and the only thing Xiaoling has to promise her uncle is to study hard, make more friends, and make herself happier. ”
At dusk the next day, Song Shiling took a small bowl of food from home to the grass downstairs to feed the cat, the cat was familiar with her smell, her tail was erected, meowing and meowing, and her little head rubbed Song Shiling's legs from time to time.
Song Shiling squatted on the grass, sometimes playing with cats, sometimes looking at the trees, and also looking at the sky. She was telling herself that her new life had begun.
