Chapter 61: Ideas for Adoption
When Xu Dahai saw the child, he was so thin that he only had a handful of bones left, and he didn't even speak, only hugged Aunt Li's body and shed tears, which was distressing to watch.
"Hey, when I heard you say this, I don't have a taste in my heart, you said that if I went to see Aunt Li, evened her a little wild vegetable root, and survived this period, wouldn't it be good."
Li Xiuzhi raised her arm and wiped her moist eyes with her sleeve, but it was too late to say this now.
"Aunt Li won't blame you, she's a good person."
Xu Dahai didn't know how to comfort Li Xiuzhi, if it was normal birth, old age, sickness and death, it would be fine, but Aunt Li ate it because of one bite.
"Mom, what's going on? Why did you cry at a good point? ”
As soon as Xu Luqing's wheelchair entered the hall, he saw Li Xiuzhi wiping tears.
Lin Wanwan had no experience in comforting people, so she poked Xu Luqing a little anxiously.
"Why is Mom so sad, is something wrong?"
Lin Wanwan didn't dare to speak at this time, for fear that a sentence would poke Li Xiuzhi's tears again and make her shed tears.
Xu Dahai saw that Li Xiuzhi's mood was still not high, so he opened his mouth to explain.
"I came back from outside just now, and I heard that Aunt Li in the south is gone, because she didn't eat Guanyin soil, your mother knows, and she can't help it, and she feels that she should go to see her, even if she evens her with a handful of wild vegetable roots, it won't be today."
Xu Dahai also felt uncomfortable, it was a human life, and the relationship between the two of them was not bad.
"Poor Aunt Li only has a little granddaughter left, and she can't speak yet, and she doesn't know how to live in the future."
Aunt Li has no relatives and no reason, she is gone, leaving a little granddaughter, no one to take care of her, I am afraid she will not live for a few days.
"Mom wants to take Aunt Li's granddaughter to the family to raise?"
Xu Luqing understood as soon as he heard it, although Xu Dahai didn't mention it, but he knew that his mother was not a hard-hearted person, and she couldn't watch a six-year-old child go to a dead end.
"Mom has this idea, but Mom also knows that the child is not a normal child, if he comes to our house, there may be a lot of trouble, Mom doesn't want to drag you down."
Li Xiuzhi knows very well that it is not suitable to raise another person at this time, even if it is just a child.
Although their family still has some surplus food, it is not much, and now the roots of wild vegetables are digging less and less, and many families have begun to peel the bark of trees, and after a while, I am afraid that more people will starve to death.
Although Xu Luqing thought of a way to divert water for irrigation, he had never tried it, and no one could say whether it would be successful, and if it failed, the future would be even more difficult.
"Raise it, Mom, I support you to raise it."
Lin Wanwan didn't wait for Xu Luqing to speak, and then expressed her attitude.
She is not a great good person, but when she thinks of what happened to her, she has no relatives to take care of her since she was a child, and she has stumbled all the way up.
Now that she learned that there was such a little girl, who was still not sound, she relented.
"Wanwan agrees, and I have no opinion. A small child can't eat much, and if we don't care, then she will only starve to death. ”
Xu Luqing nodded, he didn't belong to his family, and he didn't know how much food he had at home, but they could find a way to tide over the difficulties, and they couldn't really survive by saving rations.
If that's the case, then they're no different from waiting for death.
