The orphanage has been renamed the Qingshan City Children's Welfare Institute. When Zhongshan went, more than a dozen children in the children's welfare home who were studying in the provincial orphanage school had just returned from vacation, and no one went to the school to pick them up after a distance of more than 200 kilometers. The children's welfare home is their home, and they naturally want to return to this home during the holidays. Zhong Shan thought, didn't this place also used to be his home?

Looking at the maturity and sensibility of these children who are younger than his own son prematurely because they are not accompanied by their parents, Zhong Shan's heart is sour. It is even more sad to see those children who have been abandoned because of their physical disabilities. He regretted that he had come in a hurry and did not bring them any gifts, and secretly thought that he would have to make up for them next time.

Because of the telephone communication in advance, Dean Liu Xiaowen very politely let Zhong Shan into the dean's office and arranged for someone to find out the files of the children admitted to the hospital in the early sixties. Zhong Shan turned the page by page, and after a while, he turned to his page, the name column said "Xiao Jiu", and the adopters were Zhong Shulin and Li Chunhua.

Director Liu said: "The people who worked in the orphanage are now retired, and the nursery worker Tian Chun'e, who signed on this page, is a model worker in the city and has been retired for 7 years. As he spoke, he picked up the phone on the table, checked the phone list, called the phone, and asked, "Aunt Tian, I'm Liu Xiaowen, will you come to the party in the courtyard tomorrow?" There is a child in the hospital that you brought back in the year who wants to meet you. I said you may not be able to remember, you can meet and chat. ”

Putting down the phone, Dean Liu said: "Tian Chun'e said that she can come tomorrow, and I am quite excited to hear that some children in the hospital want to see her." ”

The next day, Qiu Yueyue had no class and insisted on accompanying Zhong Shan to find relatives. The two bought a large bag full of various snacks and came to the children's welfare home early in the morning. Tian Chun'e hadn't arrived yet, the children had already gotten up, and after breakfast, a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, about the same age as Zhong Zixing, was braiding a little bit. That little one, with two big round black and bright eyes, is very cute. Qiu Yueyue pulled Zhong Shan aside and whispered, "This little one is so cute, we can adopt it." ”

Zhong Shan smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to like children so much, isn't it good to give birth to one yourself?" ”

Qiu Yueyue glanced at him and said, "You're here again, wouldn't it be better to be a mother without having to work hard yourself!" ”

Zhong Shan said: "We have our own children, you have fertility, and you don't have the conditions for adoption, if you like it, let's bring her back for a few days during the Spring Festival." ”

Qiu Yueyue clapped her hands happily: "Okay, great, it's decided!" ”

After waiting for a while, Tian Chun'e came. Zhong Shan simply explained his intention to Aunt Tian, but he didn't expect Tian Chun'e to remember him: "Heh, that little Jiu'er has grown into a young man back then, and he married such a beautiful daughter-in-law!" When you first came, you stuck to me all day long, and my colleagues in the hospital encouraged me to take you home, and I was really tempted at that time, even though I already had four children. Later, your parents chose you away, and I was sad for a few days. As she spoke, Aunt Tian's eyes turned red, and Qiu Yueyue also wiped her tears.

Tian Chun'e continued: "There are a total of 153 children in your group, all of whom are from the Jiangcheng Lonely Hospital, and you are the youngest. At that time, Castle Peak was an important heavy industrial city in the country, and its citizens were relatively wealthy, so they were able to accept these children. A few years ago, a few people came to inquire about the situation, but I didn't hear of anyone finding their family. Actually, I think it doesn't matter if you can't find it or not, since your biological parents have abandoned you, there are naturally unavoidable reasons, will it be embarrassing to meet? I think that the grace of fertility is far greater than the love of nurturing. I have worked in the welfare home all my life, and there are always children who come to see me, and when they meet, they call me Tian's mother, and I feel as close as the four children I have born. ”

Hearing the word "Jiangcheng", Zhong Shan was suddenly shocked in his heart, it turned out that he was from Jiangcheng, was it the call of the sixth sense that made him choose to go to Jiangcheng to go to college? Perhaps it was because the separation had been too long, and the inductive signal was too weak, so it didn't eventually lead him to his biological parents. He decided that after he returned, he would call and ask Jiang Cheng's classmates to help him go to the orphanage to check the files and see if there was a group of children who had been sent to Qingshan.
