Chapter 1 Children at the entrance of the health center
"This kid looks like he's just got a full moon, right?"
"I was thrown at the gate of our courtyard early in the morning......"
"It's so pitiful, maybe I'll freeze to death if it's a little later......"
"What should I do now, do I want to send it to a welfare home?"
The doctors and nurses at the Lingshui Town Health Center were talking about it.
Early this morning, the people at the health center found the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes at the door.
I don't know when I was released, but my face was already bruised from the cold.
Fortunately, although it was snowing today, they still came to the courtyard on time, otherwise if they were too late, I am afraid that the child would have frozen to death.
After checking, the child's body is fine, and after staying by the stove for a while, the temperature of his body has also risen, and his face is white and red, and he is very cute.
The little girl slowly opened her eyes in a dizzy.
"Wake up, wake up!"
"It's so cute, how can you be willing to throw it away so cute!"
"That's right......"
The little girl's eyes seemed to light up instantly.
The glass-like eyes looked at the people around him, and his watery appearance made people's hearts melt.
The sound of laughter like a silver bell reached everyone's ears.
"It's a nice laugh...... I feel like I hear the sea. β
"You haven't seen the sea nonsense!"
"So what, it's just nice anyway."
"Dean, what should we do with this child, should we send it to the welfare institute in the county seat?"
Several of the nurses looked at the dean, hoping that he would give him an idea.
There is nothing wrong with the child's health, and he can't be kept in the hospital all the time, and if he is sent to a welfare home, he has to be in the county seat.
The old dean is over 60 years old this year, but he is still in good spirits, and he stretched out his hand to hug the child.
The little girl didn't know if she knew that the person in front of her could decide where she went, and showed a "toothless" sweet smile to the old dean.
The old dean, who had always been serious, couldn't help but laugh.
"This child seems to have been thrown away by his family, alas, what a sin...... Do you see if anyone wants to take home and raise them? β
The nurses next to them looked at each other but were silent.
This child looks very cute, with white and tender skin, and looks better than any of their own children, but this is a child, not a kitten or a puppy.
If you have more mouths in the house, you will definitely eat more food.
As employees of the health center, they are given some food stamps every month, but their families are also living tightly.
Biological children may not be able to eat enough at a time now, and they need another baby who needs to be well cared for......
It was a much more difficult day.
Ordinary people really can't afford to toss like this.
The old dean sighed at the wrinkled expressions on their faces.
In fact, it is also in vain, how can ordinary people be willing to raise more children these days.
The old dean shook the baby in his arms, thought for a while and said:
"You don't want to raise it, then I want to find a good place for this child......
The slightly falling snowflakes showed no sign of stopping, and the cold was freezing everywhere.
A five-room compound on the east side of Huaihe Village was also covered with a layer of snow white.
There was still some warmth in the hall where the stove was lit.
Chu Yuefang, the daughter-in-law of the Ling family in Huaihe Village, was lying on the kang bed, gently patting her five-month-old son to coax him to sleep.
The water on the stove boiled and made a gurgling sound.
The eldest son, Ling Mu, lifted the kettle down and put it on the ground, and the blue flame lost its suppression and instantly bounced.
Just as he was about to make milk powder for his younger brother, Ling Mu's brows furrowed.
"Mom, didn't there be four bags of milk powder left before, why are there only two bags now?"
He only remembered that he had seen it once last month, and there were four bags of it.
Xiao Wu doesn't drink every day, and usually only drinks one bag a month.
It won't be consumed so quickly.
Chu Yuefang was speechless for a while.
Ling Mu suddenly knew what was going on, and said:
"You won't give the milk powder to the Su family again, will you?"
Chu Yuefang smiled at her son a little wryly, touched her nose and said in a low voice:
"Then, isn't it difficult for the Su family, I am thinking about the thin appearance of the little girl in their family and looking very pitiful......"
Ling Mu rarely interrupted his mother's words directly, and his handsome little face tightened.
"Mom!"
"This milk powder is not easy to get, uncle, they don't know how much effort it takes, no matter how much you like the children of the Su family, then she is not our family! Forget what was given before, and now these are left to Xiao Wu, and they must not be given to his family anymore! β
Ling Mu knew that his mother wanted to die because she gave birth to five of their brothers in a row, and the aunt of the Su family next door had a child at the same time as his mother before, and his mother gave birth to their little five first, and the Su family gave birth to a daughter not long after.
His mother looked very sour, and she was thinking about the child of the Su family since she was out of confinement, and she ran to their house all day long, and she definitely couldn't go empty-handed.
His uncle lives in Tianjing City, and his conditions are relatively wealthy, and from time to time he will send them some dim sum, cloth, milk powder or something, and he doesn't know how much he has sent in just a few months.
It's not that Ling Mu is stingy, no matter how much he likes the little girl of the Su family, he doesn't think he can like this.
No matter how good the daughter of the Su family is, it is not theirs after all.
I gave it to others, but this milk powder is not something that can be obtained casually.
Ling's mother gave birth to too many children, and her health was not very good, after giving birth to Xiao Wu, most of the little five relied on eating rice soup, and later received milk powder from the Ling family's uncle.
This kind of thing is very expensive compared to any sugar ticket and cloth ticket.
When his aunt wrote to him, he mentioned that it was bought by a lot of people.
Now that such things have been given to the children of the Su family in vain, then their little five will definitely have to eat several meals of rice soup.
Ling Mu's eyes instantly turned a little red.
"I know...... But you also know that my mother wants a girl, and the doctor said that after giving birth to a little five, I can't add a sister to you......"
Mother Ling didn't care about her youngest son, even if there were so many sons that they weren't rare, it was not the meat that fell from herself.
But she didn't expect that because she had given birth to a child before, her body could no longer bear it.
When she was pregnant with Xiao Wu before, the doctors told her that she couldn't have any more children.
At that time, all hope was pinned on the one in the stomach.
Who knows......
The tradition of the Lao Ling family's exclusive son was not broken by her after all.
How could she not envy the daughter-in-law of the Su family.
Especially the daughter-in-law of the Su family, but she still handed over her handkerchief.
Ling Mu also felt distressed and helpless when he saw that his mother was going to cry or not.
The brothers also want their sister, but they can't help it without a sister.
"Mom, of course it's okay if you like your little sister in your aunt's house, but we still have to hold on to Xiao Wu, you haven't hugged Xiao Wu a few times, and you run to their house every day......"
Ling Mu actually felt sorry for his own little five, and it was not his fault that he was not a fragrant and soft little girl.
Hearing this, Mother Ling glanced at her little son who was sleeping on the bed and sighed.
"Okay, Mom knows, since there is only one bag of milk powder left, it must be left to Xiao Wu, and Mom will definitely follow our Xiao Wu first," Ling Mu promised, "The boss is really getting more and more like a big brother now!" β
Ling Mu nodded: "You can go to see the little sister of the Su family when you are fine, but don't forget that Xiao Wu is the ...... of our family"
"Yes, yes, Mom promises that things will not be given casually in the future, and they will eat with Xiao Wu first!" Mother Ling said busily.
Her eldest son is really as serious as her deceased father-in-law, and her husband is really much more gentle and gentle in comparison.
But there's nothing wrong with that.
Ling's mother lowered her head and kissed her youngest son's ruddy and plump face.
If you don't have a girl, you don't have a girl, this is fate.
Admit it.
Seeing that his mother seemed to want to open a little, Ling Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then look at Xiao Wu, I'll go and have lunch, the second and third children should almost come back."
Ling's mother nodded: "Hey, my son has worked hard......"
As he was talking, there was a shout outsideβ
"Yuefang, Yuefang, are you at home?"
"Hey, at home!"
Ling's mother answered and asked her son to hurry up and open the door.
