Chapter Fifty-Six: Yaya Goes Abroad
The master listened to my words and bought a permanent bicycle, which is a 28 bar, which can be carried especially and a person can sit in the back.
After all, the master learned the Tao, and he could ride a bicycle after I taught him for a long time.
I said to the master: "Wanqing is home alone, I ride back to accompany her during the day, and she is not at ease at home alone." ”
The master said, "Tomorrow you will send your wife's clothes and supplies, and now you can go and accompany her." ”
The bicycle is placed at the farmer's house at the bottom of the Baofeng Cliff.
When I got home, Wanqing was in the study reading Hua Tuo's "Notes on Acupuncture and Acupuncture" that I had arranged, and she was very surprised to see me back.
Q: How did I get here? I said that I came back by bicycle to accompany her, afraid that she would be lonely.
I found her holding her mother's silver needle bag, practicing needle prick on the back of her hand and arm.
I asked curiously, "Are you piercing yourself?" Does it hurt? ”
She smiled: "The acupuncture points where the needles are pricked have a feeling of soreness, and they don't hurt." ”
I said, "Then you pricked me!" ”
She felt funny: "I'm practicing my technique, what do I stick on you for nothing?" Nothing wrong with you? ”
I was really sick, but it was not easy to explain it to her, and after thinking for a while, I said to her in a row:
"You see if the book says that the man there... That is, it's that place, if you don't lift it, is there any acupuncture point that can be cured? ”
Wanqing finally understood where I was talking about, and her face turned red, but the doctor is not afraid of diseases! Embarrassed to ask softly, "You, impotence?" ”
I was also embarrassed to say, "I can't say it's impotence, I used to be fine." I was beaten two months ago, and my mother kept prescribing medicine to me, and I was also practicing the Fa, but it didn't get better. ”
Wanqing nodded sympathetically: "I'll check the book for you, it should be a blockage of the meridians, or muscle damage, or nerve damage." ”
I nodded: "I asked the doctor, and he said that muscle damage is easy to treat, but nerve damage is difficult to recover." Maybe a needle can stimulate the nerves, and the effect will come faster than taking medicine. ”
Wanqing nodded.
I also picked up a book, the twelfth volume of the "Innate I Ching Correct Interpretation", explaining the four hexagrams of the compound hexagram, the absence of vain, the big animal and the Yi hexagram, while taking out the basket of silver dollars, and practicing to distinguish the true from the false.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, I cooked dinner early, Wanqing asked me to eat first, and the teacher also picked up a big bag of clothes, let me ride a bicycle back early, and she waited for him to come back to eat together.
I gave my wife clothes, and the master gave me 500 to bring my mother's living expenses and Maomao's medical expenses.
At noon, I saw Shangguan Buyi in the last ward, holding him in the arms of his sister, with a pair of dark eyes, staring at me all the time.
I took it and hugged it in my arms: "Maomao, I'm your eldest brother, you were picked up by me from the toilet, you stinky Maomao!" ”
Shi Niang smiled: "Who said we stink?" Now it's fragrant. ”
We went through the discharge procedures, and spent a total of 640 yuan in 20 days.
I suddenly remembered that I hadn't been to see Yaya for almost a month, and I had promised her to visit her every month and take her to eat shrimp noodles.
If you say yes, you can't break your promise, especially for a child.
I said to the master and the master, "I'll go to the welfare home to see the child, take her to have lunch and come back." ”
Shi Niang said: "Don't worry, we have a graduation ceremony in the afternoon, and we can't leave until more than three o'clock, so you can accompany her more." ”
I bought a few bags of food at the store in front of the college and took a taxi straight to the welfare home.
I nodded at the doorman at the door and went straight in.
Dean Chen also saw me and nodded at me with a smile: "You came to see Chen Siyan again?" Oh no, she's not here. ”
I asked curiously, "She's not there?" Where did it go? ”
Dean Chen said, "You come with me." ”
I followed Dean Chen to her office, she opened the drawer, took out an envelope and handed it to me, saying, "Chen Siyan left it for you."
I opened the envelope in confusion, and there were three photos inside, the top of which was a group photo of two foreigners, a man and a woman, and Yaya.
The two foreigners hugged Yaya and smiled happily, but Yaya was full of tears, and there seemed to be tears on her face.
One is a photo of Yaya at the door of the welfare home.
The last one is a photo of Yaya in Tingtang Park, and the back is drawn with a pencil, two "hearts" connected together, one large and one small.
In the big heart, my name is written crookedly, Zhang Piyang (I wrote it in her homework book), and in the small heart is the word Yaya.
I looked at Dean Chen very puzzled, and Dean Chen pointed at the two foreigners and said, "Chen Siyan was adopted by these two Americans, and went to the United States last week. ”
I felt myself tremble, how could it be? Yaya went to the United States? I was about to tell her that my eldest brother had bought a house, had a new home, and was about to take her to a new home to go to school, and that they would never be separated again.
I was very angry: "Why was Yaya adopted by the Americans? Would she like to? I still don't agree! ”
Dean Chen patiently explained to me: "Chen Siyan was adopted by the government, and our welfare home belongs to the civil affairs department, and our civil affairs department cooperates with international child welfare agencies.
"The two Americans were contacted through the 'Welcome Home' agency in the United States, and their adoption conditions are strictly controlled by the governments of both countries, and there will be no problems."
I felt helpless and asked, "Do they have an address and contact information?" ”
Dean Chen said: "The civil affairs department will have follow-up and return visits every year, but we don't. ”
I asked, "Does this 'Welcome Home' have an address or a phone number?" ”
Dean Chen said: "The formalities are all handled by the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs, and I don't have any. But this 'welcome home' I know,
It was founded by the famous American writer Pearl Sai, and she is also a caring person who actively advocates for transnational adoption.
"It seems that he has won some literary awards, and he has expressed his dissatisfaction and appeal for the unfair treatment of Asian American children after they were adopted after World War II.
In 1949, she founded Welcome House, the first agency to adopt abandoned children in the United States.
"It is a formal adoption agency, and the adopters are strictly screened and registered, and more than 4,000 Asian children have been adopted, and Chen Siyan is the second in our hospital."
After Dean Chen finished speaking, I felt that there was nothing I could do about it, and I regretted that I didn't come earlier.
Even if I can't stop this from happening, I can accompany Yaya to eat her favorite shrimp noodles.
You can also say goodbye to her and talk to her when she leaves.
At least in this world, she treats me as her dearest, and I accompanied her to eat the first bowl of birthday noodles and celebrate her birthday for the first time.
I know the meaning of the two "hearts" she painted, although they are so small and not good at expressing them, but I fully understand that those two hearts are her and me.
Although she is gone, our hearts will always be together.
Yaya, my Yaya, you have gone to the other side of the ocean, it is a completely strange country, can you really live well?
She left her photo with me, because she was afraid that I would forget her, so she took our group photo away, and at the same time took away the jade pendant I bought, the little jade pig.
My tears flowed uncontrollably.
In this life, in this life, we may never see each other again.
In the world, there are so many wonderful fates, gathering and scattering.
Some people meet and then separate, disappear into the vast sea of people, and never see each other again.
After some people are separated, the god of fate uses a thread to pull them together, no matter where they go to the ends of the earth, in the end, that thread will make them meet.
At that time, I could never have imagined: my girl, fifteen years later, we will still be able to meet on the other side of the ocean.
