Chapter 2 Adoption
"It's not like, it's like Chinese, Kevin next door hasn't been to Huaxia as a supervisor for a few years, he knows Chinese, you wait, I'll find him, maybe he can be a translator."
John said, then got up and went out to find a neighbor to help, while Lina took out all kinds of food for Liu Nan again, and looked at Liu Nan with two eyes containing motherhood, which made Liu Nan feel weird.
Within minutes, John returned, leading a middle-aged white man in a T-shirt, who was a little fatter than John, but in the United States, where the obesity percentage was very high, he should be in good shape.
"Kevin, this is that kid, I listened to him and said something like Chinese, so please come over and help take a look."
John pointed at Liu Nan, and Kevin also saw this Asian kid with a dusty face and a little dirty.
"No problem, I'll try, hi kid, my name is Kevin, what's your name."
Kevin also squatted in front of Liu Nan and said, but this time Liu Nan understood, although it was a bit non-standard, but it was also Mandarin, only a few pronunciations were not standard.
"My name is Liu Nan."
"Oh, it turned out to be Liu Nan's child, so how old are you?"
"I don't know."
"Where's your mom and dad?"
"I don't know."
"Then how did you come to the United States?"
"I don't know."
In addition to his own name, Kevin's other questions, Liu Nan always replied that he didn't know, it's not that he pretended to have amnesia, but he really didn't know, who knew where he got his current body, who knew how old he was, who knew how he got to the United States, no, he knew how he got to the United States, did he tell Kevin in front of him that he made a wish and went to the United States?
"How's it going, Kevin, have you asked clearly?"
Seeing Kevin standing up, Lina hurriedly asked.
"It's a pity, now I can only know that this child is Chinese, called Liu Nan, I don't know anything else, who made him too young, he doesn't know anything, and he can't speak English, it's too difficult to communicate."
Kevin shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, he is also helpless, he knows Chinese, but he can't read minds and don't know prophecy, the child doesn't know what to do, and that's all he can help.
"John, I have an idea, I want to adopt this child, haven't we always wanted a child, isn't this the child God gave us, what do you think?"
Lina looked at her husband and said, from the first time she saw Liu Nan, this thought had been flashing in her heart, as a Christian, she firmly believed that this must be God's blessing to send this child to her side.
"Lina, we don't know about this child yet, besides, we can also hand him over to the police, and the police will definitely find him a suitable place for him, and if we adopt him, what if his parents find him?"
As a man, he is still more rational, knowing that adoption is not a trivial matter, and he can't pat his head to decide, the safest way is to hand over Liu Nan to the police, which can help Liu Nan find his parents, even if he can't find it, the police will send Liu Nan to a foster family or other welfare institutions.
"No, I will never hand him over to the police, you, as a lawyer, have seen a lot of darkness in society, don't you know what those host families are like? For the sake of government subsidies, raising children like commodities is not cared for at all, and even if his parents find him, I will never hand over my children to such irresponsible parents. ”
Lina is very excited, she has no children and is very eager to have a child, and now that God's blessing has arrived, she will never let it go.
"Calm down, calm down, Lina, I didn't say no, I just said think about it, since you are so insistent, I also agree, we adopt this child, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be without children, I know that you often go to the nearby kindergarten to see the children there, originally I wanted to take you with me to adopt a child at Christmas, it seems that there is no need now, God has sent the child to us, although it is impossible to communicate for the time being."
John hurriedly hugged Lina, who was a little excited, and said gently, he knew that the family had no children, it was all his own reasons, if it wasn't for his inability to have children, he wouldn't have made Lina want to adopt Liu Nan so much.
"No, John, it's not your fault, I love you and won't care about this, besides, God didn't also help us, send little Liu Nan to us, there is no way to communicate is not a problem, we can teach him English, we can also teach Chinese by ourselves, so that our family will be more harmonious."
Lina also calmed down, her husband was able to support herself, which made Lina feel very happy, for the sake of her children, what is so rare to learn another foreign language.
"Wow, congratulations, John, Lina, I didn't expect you to make this decision, I believe your decision was wise, but do you want to ask the child's opinion, I can translate it."
Kevin hasn't left yet, he was a little surprised to hear Lina's decision, but he also sincerely blessed Mr. and Mrs. John, he knew that Mr. and Mrs. John had never had children, and they wanted a child very much, and now they got their wish, as a neighbor, as a friend, Kevin had to be happy for Mr. and Mrs. John.
"Of course, I'm sorry Kevin, ask the child if he would like to call us mom and dad."
John said.
"oK, look at me, hey, Liu Nan, what do you think of these two uncles and aunts, are they good for you?"
Kevin said to Liu Nan again.
"Okay."
Because Liu Nan didn't understand, he didn't know what John and his wife were doing just now, but he felt that the crooked nuts were so open, and they hugged and hugged each other, completely ignoring the existence of outsiders.
"And would you like to call them Mom and Dad?"
“……”
Liu Nan was stunned, did the John couple want to adopt themselves?
"How about it, little friend Liu Nan, are you willing? These two uncles and aunts are good people, they will definitely treat you very well, and will buy you a lot of delicious food and fun. ”
Kevin thought that Liu Nan didn't understand why he called John's father and mother, so he seduced Liu Nan from another aspect, don't children just like to eat and play.
John and Lina also looked at Liu Nan nervously, seeing Liu Nan stunned, they even raised their hearts to their throats, they would not force the child, if Liu Nan was unwilling, they would also do their best to help Liu Nan find his parents or find a better host family.
"Hmm."
Liu Nan nodded, it's stupid to disagree, not just because of the task, but if you don't agree, you don't know if you can survive in the United States, there are too many accidents.
Without Kevin's translation, seeing Liu Nan nodding, Lina cheered, and then regardless of Liu Nan's dust, she saved Liu Nan with one hand, she wanted to have a child for too long.
Now that Liu Nan has agreed, there is no need for Kevin's translation in the future, and besides, he can't trouble people too much, and the rest of the things can be handled by the two of them.
John went to see Kevin, Lina pulled Liu Nan into the bathroom, to wash the dirty Liu Nan, after walking in the loess wasteland for so long, Liu Nan's skin can no longer see its original color, and it must be washed well.
Liu Nan's body is the soul of Ben San, who was stripped of his clothes by a strange woman and thrown into the bathtub to scrub, instinctively feeling shy, fortunately, his body is too small and will not have any reaction, otherwise he will be embarrassed.
Lina didn't think much about Liu Nan's shyness, but thought that it was Liu Nan's instinctive reaction to the stranger, washing off the dust on Liu Nan's body, and a white little boy appeared in front of Lina.
After washing Liu Nan clean, Lina found John's clothes for Liu Nan, although they were a little bigger, they were clean, and they were very high-end, and they were very comfortable to wear, as for Liu Nan's dirty clothes, they were directly thrown into the trash can outside the house by Lina.
When Lina led Liu Nan to John again, John felt that his wife's decision might be right, Liu Nan was an angel sent by God, such a lovely child, fortunately he didn't give him to the police, originally he was only ready to accept Liu Nan because of Lina, and now John also sincerely likes Liu Nan, and has made up his mind to treat Liu Nan as his own son.
John's family is a villa, naturally there will be no shortage of rooms, seeing Liu Nan's tired face, Lina sent Liu Nan to the bedroom next to her master bedroom, and put Liu Nan on the soft bed, Liu Nan closed his eyes and soon entered the dream.
"John, today is a magical day, and now that I think about it, I feel like I'm dreaming."
As Mr. and Mrs. John lay on their beds, Lina said.
"Yes, I didn't expect God to send an angel to us, is it our piety that has been reciprocated?"
John put his arm around Lina's shoulders and said, who would have thought that when he came back from vacation, he would be able to pick up a child, and even more incredible, adopt this child.
"It must be, by the way, John, tomorrow I will take Liu Nan to the police station to register, you don't forget to say hello to Joe, so that the procedures can be done faster, and then I will take Liu Nan to buy a few clothes, but also buy a few books to learn the language, from tomorrow, we will start to learn Chinese, I heard that Chinese is the most amazing language in the world, I don't know if we can learn it."
"Honey, we can definitely learn Chinese, we all love children, don't underestimate the power of father's love and mother's love, in addition, Joe will say hello, he is my college classmate, the relationship between the two of us is quite good."
Don't think that the United States doesn't pay attention to human feelings, otherwise what are so many fraternities in American universities doing, just to support each other after entering society, which is the same as the nature of the Donglin Party in ancient China.
"That's right, we'll learn, I'm a little impatient, I hope it will come sooner tomorrow."
"It's so easy to do, my dear, you close your eyes quietly, and when you open your eyes again, it's a new day."
"That's right, good night, dear, I'm going to have a new day."
