Fostering Xiaomayuan
Chapter 215 Fostering Xiaomayuan
There are very few things that belong to Xiao Mayuan, a few clothes, a pair of shoes, a paddle ball and a Rubik's cube, there are no other things that are superfluous.
The latter two things were given to her by Song Ci. As for the whistle, she hung it around her neck and never took it off.
Of course, it is even more impossible for her to have a travel bag or a suitcase. Song Ci could only ask Teacher Ding for a plastic bag. Looking at the bag, it seemed that Song Ci bought it.
Putting everything in a plastic bag, Song Ci pulled Xiao Mayuan out of this collective dormitory like a Datong shop.
Xiao Mayuan is very obedient, she doesn't cry or make trouble, Song Ci pulls her away, she walks away, Song Ci lets go of her and stops.
Pulling Xiao Mayuan out of the dormitory, Kong Yumei was already waiting for them with a stack of materials.
"Is everything packed?" Kong Yumei looked at the plastic bag in Song Ci's hand and asked in surprise.
Song Ci nodded, and then said: "Xiao Mayuan only has a few changes of clothes, not many other things."
When Kong Yumei heard this, she sighed inwardly, then patted Xiao Mayuan's head, and said with a smile, "It's okay, wait until tomorrow, grandma will take you to buy it."
Then, holding Xiao Mayuan's other hand, she walked towards the gate of the orphanage.
"Mr. Song... have you adopted this little girl?"
Seeing Song Ci pulling Xiao Mayuan over, Old Sun asked from a distance.
"It's not adoption, it's temporary foster care in our home."
While talking, Song Ci brought the documents from Kong Yumei, which contained the foster care certificate, so that the child could be taken out.
Foster care is different from adoption. Foster care is only a substitute for raising, and the child's household registration is still in the orphanage.
Adoption is to directly transfer the household registration to the adopter's household registration. Legally speaking, it belongs to a real family, and the procedures are more complicated, and you need to go to the local police station to handle it.
Lao Sun took a look at their materials and saw that there was nothing wrong with them, so he opened the door and let them out.
When they came outside the door, Xiao Mayuan, who was pulled in the middle by them, suddenly looked back.
Song Ci and Kong Yumei didn't urge her, but stopped and let her watch slowly.
After waiting for 2 minutes, Song Ci tugged at her little hand and said, "Let's go."
... Waited for a few more seconds, and then Xiao Mayuan let out an "oh".
When they came to the parking space, Kong Yumei sat in the back row with Xiao Mayuan, and Song Ci directly put the things on the passenger seat, because there were so few things that there was no need to put them in the trunk.
Xiao Mayuan sat in the back row, looking out of the car window. Although her eyes were still blank, Song Ci knew that she was looking at the world and was curious about it.
After all, since she was born, she has stayed in that small yard, like a small cage, trapping her in it.
Later, when I came to the orphanage, I just changed from a small cage to another slightly larger cage.
She didn't take a good look at the world at all.
She looked out of the car window curiously, while Kong Yumei looked at her curiously.
"If you hadn't told me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have discovered what's special about her." Kong Yumei said with some emotion.
From her talking with Xiao Mayuan and Xiao Mayuan's response, it can be seen that Xiao Mayuan is not stupid, but the "delay" is a bit too long.
That's why people feel that she is dumb, and even has no patience to wait for her response.
"Yeah, after I found out about this, I was also very surprised. I don't know what kind of disease it is and whether it can be cured." Song Ci is also the first time to see such a situation.
"I'll ask someone to inquire about it," Kong Yumei said.
She knew quite a few doctors and professors of medicine, and asking them would make it clear.
But at this moment, Kong Yumei suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong?" Song Ci asked curiously.
"I'm curious now, what kind of collision will happen when she and Nuan Nuan are together, Xiao Mayuan is quiet, Nuan Nuan is rambunctious, the two communicate together, Nuan Nuan will probably be rushed to death, right?"
Song Ci heard the words, and thinking about that scene, he couldn't help laughing.
The little guy is like a chatterbox every day, with a small mouth talking non-stop. When meeting someone like Xiao Mayuan, the picture should not be too beautiful.
"Hey, aren't we going home? Where are you going?"
Kong Yumei suddenly discovered that Song Ci's car was not heading home.
"I have something to do, it will be done soon, a few minutes." Song Ci said.
When Kong Yumei heard this, she didn't ask any more questions, but curiously followed Xiao Mayuan's gaze and looked out of the car window, wanting to see what she was looking at.
"Is it a sign?"
Kong Yumei noticed that Xiao Mayuan seemed to be looking at the colorful signboards on the side of the road.
Song Ci saw Cai Dumpling's father, Cai Lichun, standing on the side of the road looking around from a distance.
Song Ci told him yesterday that he didn't have a specific time to get the letter to Cai Jiaozi today, but he guessed that Cai Lichun should have been waiting for him to arrive early, and his guess was right.
So he stopped the car on the side of the road and said to Kong Yumei, "Mom, I'll go down for a while."
Then he opened the car door and walked towards Cai Lichun.
After Song Ci got out of the car, Xiao Mayuan seemed to realize it.
"Oh? Na~na~"
She pointed to Song Ci outside the car and made a sound, as if she was asking Kong Yumei where Song Ci was going.
Obviously there was no expression on her face, but Kong Yumei could hear the anxiety and uneasiness in her voice.
So he comforted: "Don't be afraid, uncle just has something to do, and he will be back soon."
"Oh~oh~"
Xiao Mayuan seemed to understand, and sat there quietly again, waiting for Song Ci to come back.
"Mr. Song..."
Seeing Song Ci's figure, Cai Lichun breathed a sigh of relief, and walked a few steps to meet him.
"Is the letter finished?"
"Here it is." Cai Lichun hurriedly took out the letter he had prepared.
The letter was written on special letter paper. They found the letter paper in several stores and finally bought it at the school gate. It was a bit difficult to buy. After all, who else can write letters now?
Song Ci didn't read the contents of the letter, but folded it, it was a thin sheet, and it didn't look like there was much content.
As if seeing Song Ci's confusion, Cai Lichun looked a little embarrassed and said: "We don't know what to say to Jiaojiao, but... just miss her..."
Then he said: "Mr. Song, you can take a look and see if there is anything wrong."
Song Ci understood what he meant in an instant. He was probably afraid that Song Ci would suspect that there was something wrong with his letter, so he took the initiative to let Song Ci read the letter.
Song Ci smiled and shook his head, then put away the letter, and said: "In about a day or two, you will receive a reply from Vegetable Dumplings, and I will send them to you at that time."
"Ah...Okay, okay, please trouble Mr. Song." Cai Lichun thanked in a panic.
In fact, he wanted to say that Cai Dumpling didn't know many characters, couldn't read letters, and couldn't write letters, but thinking of Song Ci saying last time that these things were left to him, he swallowed them back.
"Go and do your work, let's go." Song Ci turned and left directly.
"Thank you, Mr. Song." Cai Lichun shouted to his back.
Song Ci waved his hand without looking back.
Song Ci returned to the car and fastened his seat belt. At this moment, Xiao Mayuan on the back seat suddenly heard "Nah~".
The sound is very loud.
"Okay, I got it, I'll tell you in advance next time." Song Ci glanced at the rearview mirror and said with a smile.
Kong Yumei was a little surprised and said, "Can you understand what she means?"
After asking, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be able to easily distinguish the meaning of Xiao Mayuan's words before.
"Although Xiao Mayuan doesn't speak very much, and often uses only modal particles, her tone of voice is also different. If you listen carefully, you will be able to hear the difference."
While talking, Song Ci restarted the car.
"Did Dad cook at noon? Or pick them up and go out to eat together?" Song Ci looked at the time and asked.
"Go home to eat, your father can fry two dishes. I have already prepared the meat dishes, and I also prepared a little surprise for Xiao Mayuan." Kong Yumei said with a smile.
"Surprise? What surprise?" Song Ci asked curiously.
"Since it's a surprise, I can't tell you of course. It's a surprise if I tell you." Kong Yumei said sarcastically.
Kong Yumei looks much younger than her actual age, maybe it has a lot to do with her mentality, she is still young at such an age.
As soon as Song Ci stopped the car at the door, he heard Nuan Nuan yelling in the yard, as if he was waiting for him.
"Grandpa, Dad is back, open the door quickly." This was the voice of Nuan Nuan urging.
"Don't worry, don't fall." This was Yun Shiqi's unhurried reply.
"Is grandma back too?"
"We'll definitely be back together."
"What about Miss Sister? Did you come back with them too?"
"It should be back together." Following Yun Shiqi's answer, the courtyard door was opened.
Nuan Nuan rushed out in an instant like a puppy letting the wind out.
"Dad, grandma..."
Nuannuan ran out, and she saw her father, grandmother, and a young lady she didn't know, so she stopped and looked at her curiously.
"This is Xiao Mayuan, you have to call me sister." Kong Yumei explained cheerfully.
Yun Shiqi also came over, looking at Xiao Mayuan curiously.
But Xiao Mayuan didn't react much to the two of them, she was still blank, her eyes seemed unfocused.
"Nuan Nuan, say hello to Miss Sister," Kong Yumei said.
"Hello, Miss."
Nuan Nuan obediently shook her hand at Xiao Ma Yuan.
but--
Xiao Mayuan didn't respond in the slightest, Nuan Nuan's mouth narrowed, feeling a little wronged.
"Don't worry, Miss Sister is a little slow to react, you have to wait for a while." Kong Yumei explained with a smile.
Sure enough, at this time, Xiao Mayuan said softly: "Okay."
His eyes also turned to Nuan Nuan, although his eyes still seemed to be out of focus.
Song Ci walked over, pulled them both to him, knelt down and said, "This is Nuan Nuan, this is Uncle's daughter, this is Xiao Ma Yuan, you have to call me sister, you have to get along well."
Then pull the little hands of the two of them together and let them hold hands.
"Nuannuan, sister Xiaomayuan is a little slow to react, so every time you wait for her to speak, don't be too anxious, just wait slowly, you know?"
Nuan Nuan nodded curiously, she didn't reject this young lady, but was happy because someone played with her.
Song Ci thinks this is very good, just to sharpen Nuan Nuan's eager temper.
"Okay, let's talk when we get home, don't all stand outside the door." Yun Shiqi said.
Nuan Nuan's eyes lit up immediately when she heard that she was going home, and she dragged Xiao Mayuan and ran home.
"Cake, big cake, Miss Sister is here, can we eat it?"
It turned out that the surprise Kong Yumei mentioned was that she ordered a cake as a welcome to Xiao Mayuan.
"Shhhhh~"
At this moment, Song Ci heard a whistle coming from inside the house.
A smile appeared on the corner of Song Ci's mouth.
Loudly said: "Here we come..."
