Chapter 450: The Same Dinner
Because of the previous negligence, it was necessary to leave someone in the room to guard the phone, Xi Mengmeng said that she was not hungry, so she took the initiative to stay, and told Fu Zhengyi that when she came back, she could just bring her diǎn to eat.
Therefore, when Shang Tiejun walked into Yuan Yongjun's house, Fu Zhengyi had already taken Sophia out of the guest house to eat.
The county seat of Chuanjin County is not big, and the streets are also very deserted, Fu Zhengyi had been to the southwest region in his previous life, so he thought about taking Sophia to taste the local snacks.
Sophia has been in China for more than two years, and the signboard of the shop pù is naturally understandable, and when she passed by a street and alley, she saw a signboard inside, which read, "Authentic Sichuan Jin small hot pot, two yuan per person", so she dragged Fu Zhengyi into the small street, saying that she wanted to see what the situation was like for a small hot pot for two yuan a person.
The alley is not clean, but the small shop is very refreshing.
The proprietress wanted to refuse when she saw that a foreigner wanted to eat, but Fu Zhengyi saw that there were many diners in the restaurant, so she took Sophia to sit down directly, pointed to the diners around and smiled. "Why, can't foreigners eat in your restaurant?"
After wiping her hands on her apron, the proprietress leaned down to pour water for the two of them, and said with a smile. "Look at what you said, I'm not afraid that the store will snub foreign friends, since you can afford it, where is the reason to push customers out of business......
Fu Zhengyi gave Sophia a clear water chicken and asked for a hoof flower hot pot for himself, and told Sophia in French while serving the food that such a price is estimated to be only available in poor areas like the southwest.
"Do you really believe that someone would take a baby away from its parents, then falsify the formalities to turn the baby into an abandoned baby, and then have a foreign adopter pay to take the child away?"
On the surface, Fu Zhengyi seemed to be very calm, but the anger in his heart could not be suppressed. "Not only do I believe it, but I also believe it! This kind of thing can be described as a loss of conscience and a loss of humanity, but it will really happen in broad daylight, if it weren't for meeting Tommy and his wife this time, presumably after the matter is exposed, there will be a department to explain it under the guise of a high-sounding reputation, so that this kind of thing will finally be over!"
This kind of thing is not something that can be done by one person or two people, and there will be a lot of people involved, I remember you have a saying∈→dǐng∈→diǎn∈→ small ∈→ say, .≦.■os_(); Do you still insist that you can catch them all and bring them to justice?"
"Things are man-made, and you can't retreat because you feel that there are difficulties, not to mention that the more you retreat, the more you have to make inches, and the more you will have the idea of 'since it's okay to do this, why not continue to do it', until the lack of social morality, the distortion of human nature, and the complete collapse of morality......
Sophia was about to speak, but the proprietress came over with a small hot pot, and after Mali's diǎn caught fire, she said that if the vegetables were not enough, she could continue to add them, and if she needed rice, she would take the bowl to the corner and serve it.
Looking down, Sophia was stunned.
There are a lot of chicken nuggets in the small hot pot in front of her, and Fu Zhengyi's small hot pot is a complete hoof, with side dishes such as tofu, duck blood, green vegetables, rice flour, konjac and bean sprouts, which she can't eat at all in terms of her appetite!
Fu Zhengyi glanced at the side dishes on the table and was also a little surprised. "Hostess, you won't say it's because I brought a foreigner over for dinner, are you like that?"
Thinking that Fu Zhengyi was blaming for the lack of things, the proprietress was anxious. "How can it be, you are as much as others, I have been open for several years, I don't believe you ask other people, see if their weight is the same as yours......"
An old man next to him who poured himself a glass of loose wine poked his head and carefully counted the ribs in Fu Zhengyi's hot pot, and when he counted to fifteen, he diǎn and said to Fu Zhengyi. "That's right, that's it! This girl wants to do business, if you really don't have enough to eat, you can let her add diǎn, and she won't charge more......"
Sophia only understood most of the old man's words, but she also guessed what the old man wanted to express, and when she gave a thumbs up to the boss lady, and after the boss lady put her mind at ease and walked away, she lowered her voice and sighed. "Yi, I think the folk customs here are so simple, such a price is not available in school......
Picked up a piece of pork ribs from the hot pot and tasted it, but he didn't think there was a problem, and Fu Zhengyi said. "The poultry here is generally free-range from the farm, and the purchase price is not high. The local small hot pot with low per capita income and natural cheap and good quality will also have business, and the people who eat it will not feel too expensive, so the business will naturally be good!"
Skillfully began to taste with chopsticks and a colander, and after a while, Sophia raised her head and still felt that she couldn't figure it out. "I still don't think this matter should be so dark, when I called the consulate to ask about the situation, I learned that it takes a lot of procedures to adopt a child through a welfare institution, and all abandoned babies adopted by overseas people are from a clear source, and it is unlikely that they will sell babies for profit......
"Wait for the news from Shang Tiejun's side, ordinary farmers will not dare to sue unless they are forced to do so, let alone go to the provincial capital! For local families, children are the future, hope, and the continuation of the family bloodline, and as a last resort, how can parents be willing to abandon their children!"
Sophia is not an old stubborn eater, and the social reality she has seen, heard, and learned after living in the magic capital for more than two years makes her feel that many things are not too incomprehensible, so she has to explain it with what her father said, 'This is a magical country'.
When checking out, Fu Zhengyi took out four yuan, and both of them ate this small hot pot very comfortably.
I asked for some kimchi from the store, and on the way back, Fu Zhengyi bought rice noodles and braised eggs for Xi Mengmeng, and hurried back to the guest house.
Xi Mengmeng, who stayed in the guest house, sat by the window, and saw the two come back and said that Tommy and his wife had not come back yet, and Shang Tiejun did not call, she used the landline phone of the guest house to call Shang Tiejun's mobile phone every ten minutes, but she could not get through.
"You eat diǎn things first, Shang Tiejun and the reporter and photographer of the charity, presumably he didn't think of contacting us now, and when he remembered later, he would naturally find a way to contact us, not to mention that he wouldn't live in the village below, and finally he would come to Chuanjin County......"
Although Fu Zhengyi was comforting Xi Mengmeng like this, he actually had no idea when the couple from Canada would come back and whether they would return to the guest house.
Now that it has been determined that there is a problem with this Sunshine Welfare Home in Chuanjin County, it is better for the Sunshine Welfare Home to take the child back to China as soon as possible when it is convenient for them to come to the place, and never come back!
And almost at the same time, Tommy and his wife, who came from Canada, were also thinking about the young man they met on the flight.
Tommy is a worker, and his wife Schellen is just a freelancer with an average income, so both from the perspective of his family and personally, Tommy likes to wear work clothes, and Schellen also likes to wear looser home clothes.
But because of Fu Zhengyi, who met by chance on the flight, Tommy and his wife were sensitive to the fact that this country seemed to pay more attention to dress, so after the couple took the suitcase, they changed into formal clothes at the airport, and then arrived at the long-distance bus in Chuanjin County.
When they arrived at the place, Tommy thought that they would arrive late and that no one would pick them up at the station, but in fact, they were recognized by the people of the Sunshine Welfare Institute as soon as they got off the long-distance bus, and then they met the director of the Sunshine Welfare Institute, Ms. Li Yanghua, at the guest house.
Considerately waited for Tommy and his wife to enter the room and finish washing, Li Yanghua drove in the car and took the two to the best restaurant in the county, went up to the third floor and entered the luxury box, and introduced everyone present one by one.
Leaders of the county civil affairs bureau......
Leaders of the County Family Planning Commission......
The elite ...... of the town family planning office
The large table was large enough for eighteen people, and when Tommy and his wife sat down, they began to take care of the dishes.
They fly in the sky, they crawl on the ground, and they swim in the water......
Knowing that foreigners generally like to eat Western food and use knives and forks, Dean Li Yanghua not only prepared knives and forks for Tommy and his wife, but also specially explained that everyone needs to use chopsticks.
The leader of the Civil Affairs Bureau could neither speak nor understand English, but as the highest-ranking leader present, he still waited for the food to come up and stood up with a wine glass, and simply expressed his warm thanks and welcome to Tommy and his wife.
Li Yanghua, the only one who can speak English, helped Tommy and his wife Bucai to introduce the situation here by the way, saying that if it weren't for the concern of the county, it stands to reason that it would take a long time for the adoption procedures of the couple to be approved.
Seeing that Tommy and his wife were not only at a loss after sitting down, but also very uncomfortable in the face of the atmosphere on the wine table, Li Yanghua pulled Xie Lun's hand and shed tears. "The children are pitiful, the abandoned ones in the summer are better, even if they can't be found in time, they won't freeze, but the abandoned babies in the winter are miserable, and some of them are about to freeze to death when they are found, and their little bodies are stiff, and we need our staff to hold the children in their arms to help them warm up, otherwise their lives will be lost......"
Women are all sensual, and Schellen's eyes are red. "Why? Why are these children abandoned by their parents?"
"Hey, we are a national-level impoverished county, and the local farmers are reluctant to raise girls, so our orphanage will become a possibility for these children to survive......!
After glancing at her husband Tommy, Xie Lun choked up and said to Li Yanghua that he hoped to donate some more money to the Sunshine Welfare Home to ensure that these abandoned children could hold out until the arrival of the adopters...... (To be continued.) )
