Chapter 26: One More Child
In the morning, as soon as Huo Liting woke up, he heard the sound of rustling in the living room.
He opened his eyes, picked up his phone and glanced at the time, it was just after eight o'clock.
He thought that the two children would sleep lazily on Saturday, so he turned off the alarm clock for fear of waking them up, but who knew that he would get up as early as the week.
Faintly, he heard Jing Wanwan and Xinbao Mubao quietly talking.
"Shhh~ You guys are a little smaller! Don't wake up Uncle Huo! ”
"Mommy, let's take the iPad to play music and put on a show for grandma......
"And the certificate that Xinbao and I won, grandma must be very happy to see it!"
Grandmother?!
Huo Liting's last trace of sleepiness dissipated, and he carefully recalled Jingwanwan's information, and did not mention that in addition to her adoptive parents, she had any other elders in Mocheng.
The mother and son whispered a few more words in the living room, and then Huo Liting heard the sound of the door closing gently.
He got out of bed, walked out of the room in his slippers, and subconsciously glanced towards the dining table.
Several plates and bowls were covered with lids, apparently reserved for his breakfast.
Where to go with the two children? And who is Grandma?
Huo Liting walked to the bathroom and called his assistant, "Are there any other relatives in Mocheng at night...... You check it again...... Well, pick me up an hour later......"
……
Two hours later.
The entrance of Jingyang Welfare Institute.
Jingwan took Xinbao and Mu Bao down from the bus, and saw an old lady with kind eyebrows and neat silver and white hair, waiting outside the door with a smile.
"Xinbao, Mu Bao, grandma misses you so much!"
"Grandma~~~"
The two little babies opened their arms and ran over, and the old lady bent down and took them in her arms, and pressed their little faces against them, their eyes full of kindness and love.
Jing Wanwan also stepped forward and shouted with a smile, "Dean Jing." ”
This is the person who took in Jing Wanwan back then, and she is also the most grateful and respected elder in her life, if it were not for Dean Jing, she would not have survived to this day.
Dean Jing and the two babies pasted for a while before slowly standing up straight and hugging Jing Wanwan as well.
"I'm sorry for you, I come to help every week, you live far away, and you're tired of riding in the car."
"Not tired! Grandma, Mu Bao and I are looking forward to Mommy taking us to see you every week! "Xinbao's little mouth is very sweet.
Mu Bao also nodded, "Grandma, we miss you!" ”
The two little guys coaxed Dean Jing very happy, smiled and bent his eyes, and nodded busily, "Okay, go in with grandma, grandma has prepared a lot of snacks for you, and the older brothers and sisters and younger siblings in the welfare home are also waiting for you!" ”
As soon as Jingwan heard this, she hurriedly said, "You have to help with the work before you can eat snacks!" ”
Dean Jing walked in front with a little baby in one hand, and answered with a smile, "Don't worry, grandma will keep it for you." ”
"Thank you, Grandma!" Xinbao and Mu Bao spoke in unison.
Since returning to China in the evening, she has taken her two children to volunteer in the welfare home every week, after all, it is a place to shelter her from the wind and rain for several years.
There are many children in the welfare home, but there are few staff, Dean Jing is old, and many things are beyond her strength.
This week, I have to sort out the archives, there are a lot of materials in it, Jing Wanwan was afraid that the two little ones would mix up the materials, so she arranged for them and the children of the welfare home to go to the classroom to clean up, and she and Dean Jing and other volunteers to sort it out.
Dean Jing had already received the news that she had obtained a marriage certificate, but he was still a little relieved, so he asked while sorting out the information: "That Mr. Huo, is it okay for you and the children?" ”
Jing Wanwan was busy with her hands and nodded slightly, "He is a kind person, Old Man Huo's own grandson, he can't be wrong." ”
Even if there is some small friction, Jingwanwan is also used to reporting good news and not bad news on Dean Jing's side.
Dean Jing said 'um', speaking very slowly, but pronouncing the words very clearly, "It's easy to get along with, then I'm relieved, Xiaowan, you suffered a lot when you were a child, and now it's time to live a sweet life, and if you have a chance in the future, bring him over to let me see him." ”
Jing Wanwan made a move in his hands.
She never thought of bringing Huo Liting to meet the 'parents'.
Subconsciously, seeing Dean Jing is a very formal thing, and her marriage to Huo Liting is just a cooperation.
Seeing her hesitation, Dean Jing spoke again, "Isn't it too far and inconvenient?" It's okay, it's the same when I saw him in the past, Xiaowan, don't be too troublesome, there is an elder to meet, so that the man knows that there is no one behind you, and he will talk and do things in the future, he will have to think about it, and he won't mess around. ”
"Dean Jing......"
Somehow, Jingwanwan's eyes were slightly sour, and she pursed her lips tightly before she pressed down the sourness.
Dean Jing didn't look up, but lifted the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, carefully discharged the page number of the information, and continued to ask: "Your adoptive parents didn't trouble you anymore, did they?" ”
She didn't know that Jing Wanwan had severed ties with her adoptive parents.
"They won't be looking for me anymore." Jing Wanwan replied.
Dean Jing sighed, reached out and patted Jing Wanwan's arm gently, just like when he comforted her when he was a child, "Child, I can't help you." ”
Back then, the Li family came to adopt. The child also specified that he wanted to adopt an older daughter, and the first thing that came to Dean Jing's mind was the sensible and smart Jing Wanwan.
"At that time, they showed that they liked children very much, and on the day they picked you up, they repeatedly promised me that they would treat you well, but I didn't expect that later, ......" Dean Jing's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was a little choked.
Jing Wanwan put down the information in her hand and gently gave Dean Jing a back.
"It's all over, Dean Jing, I'm not doing well now! You used to say that I was a blessed child, and you see, now that I am married and have two lovely children, isn't that the fulfillment of what you said? ”
"You, you'll pick the good ones to comfort me."
Dean Jing smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"Hey, back then, if you hadn't suddenly fallen ill and missed the rich family to adopt. Chances for children, maybe your life will be better than it is now. ”
What Dean Jing said, Jing Wanwan's impression was already very light.
I vaguely remember that about three years before she was adopted, a very prestigious couple came to the welfare home for adoption. The child, also specified age and gender, Jingwan is on the list that meets the requirements.
On the day the couple came to meet the children, Jingwanwan somehow lost her stomach and could only rest in bed, so she couldn't attend the meeting.
I heard from my friends in the same dormitory come back to discuss that the couple were very gentle and generous people, and they brought a lot of books, picture albums and small gifts, and everyone got a lot.
Later, a girl was adopted, but Jingwan never had the opportunity to see the couple.
"I just want to live the days in front of me steadily, accompany you more, take care of my little family, and I am very satisfied with the current days." Jing Wanwan said with a smile.
Dean Jing nodded, and then instructed, "You have always been the most reassuring to me, thoughtful and steady, now that you are married, you should also spend more time on your husband, it is best to take advantage of your youth, you have another child, this man can grasp it!" ”
Jing Wanwan's eyes flashed in front of Huo Liting sitting on the sofa, his eyes looking directly at her.
She hurriedly lowered her head, casually pulled out the information in a file bag next to her, and muttered in a low voice while sorting it out, "Dean Jing, why did you suddenly talk about this, we just got the certificate......
"Okay, I won't rush you, just remind me, I'm just waiting for the good news from you and that Mr. Huo!" Dean Jing touched her hair lovingly.
At this time, Jing Wanwan noticed that the information in her hand was her personal file and past transcripts, as well as some paintings.
Dean Jing also saw it and smiled, "Yo, isn't this a coincidence!" ”
Jingwan flipped through the pages and saw that one of the pages was empty in the plastic bag, but she remembered that there should have been a painting here.
"Strange ......," she wondered.
