Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

The tricycle was small, so Sun Aimin, Jiang Weidong and the police officer holding the child were squeezed together. With a child and the weather being very hot, everyone was feeling uncomfortable.

But looking at the pitiful little baby, several people ignored their own physical discomfort.

Who wouldn't take good care of a six-month-old child and make him plump? But this child was skinny. When the police held him, they could feel the small bones on his body were a little uncomfortable.

Jiang Weidong's eyes turned red with distress, and he asked the police cautiously: "Comrade, can you let me hold the child?"

The police hesitated for a moment and did not return the child immediately. Instead, they asked, "How did you two find this child?"

Jiang Weidong responded: "My family originally gave birth to twins in the hospital, but one was lost. Fortunately, it has been found now."

As he spoke, he looked down at the thin little face in the policeman's arms and continued, "Although he is much thinner than my daughter, they still look very similar. I am very sure that this is my lost son."

When the police heard Jiang Weidong say this and saw that the man in his twenties looked like he was about to cry, they were also moved and carefully handed the child to Jiang Weidong.

Jiang Weidong had experience in taking care of children, so he held the child in a very comfortable position. The child, who had just been whimpering in the policeman's arms, soon calmed down in Jiang Weidong's arms.

The policeman felt a little unbelievable. He did not admit that the man across from him was better at coaxing children than he was. Instead, he attributed the reason to this: "Could it be that blood is thicker than water?"

However, the police could not return the child to Jiang Weidong just because of his one-sided statement. Now they only asked him to help coax the child temporarily, and they would have to do an appraisal to confirm the relationship between the two.

The police also explained the matter clearly: "We will go back and do an identification of your blood relationship with the child. Once the results are out and it is confirmed that the child is yours, we can let you take the child away."

Seeing that Jiang Weidong looked unhappy, he continued, "This is a necessary procedure to prevent the wrong child from being taken."

Jiang Weidong nodded to show his understanding, and then raised his own questions: "Who will take care of the child while we wait for the results? Also, how long will it take to get the results of the examination?"

The police said: "Nowadays, it takes about a month for the results of this kind of examination to come out. As for the child, he will be placed in an orphanage for the time being."

Everyone knows that the welfare homes accept children who are either fatherless or motherless, and many of them are physically disabled.

There are so many children that the staff at the welfare home need to take care of, it is impossible for them all to be very attentive to them.

Jiang Weidong was certain that this was his son, so how could he bear to let the child suffer in an orphanage for a while?

He thought for a moment and said, "Comrade police, do you think this is okay? My family is out of town, but my mother-in-law's family is in Jiangjin City. Can I temporarily leave the child at my mother-in-law's house and let her take care of him for a while?

Don't worry, even if it turns out that the child is not my son, we will just consider it as a good deed and won't ask for any care fees..."

The police officer thought for a moment and said, "We'll discuss this when we get back to the station. If we can ensure the child's safety, it shouldn't be a big problem."

To be honest, the children who are rescued and cannot find a home are basically placed in welfare institutions. Those children look pitiful. It would be better if they could have the warmth of a family. "

Jiang Weidong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the police say this.

After the group returned to the police station, Lin Jianye was taken to the police station to take a statement. Jiang Weidong and the child, under the arrangement of the staff, took blood samples for testing.

Afterwards, the police followed Jiang Weidong to his mother-in-law's home, which was located in the city, about a 20-minute drive from the police station.

They knocked on the door of Jiang Weidong's mother-in-law's house. The family members looked at several people standing outside the door and saw that their son-in-law was holding a thin, weak, whimpering child in his arms. They didn't react for a moment what was going on.

The police briefly explained the situation, then checked the family's ID, registered them, and left.

Jiang Weidong then had time to explain what had happened in detail, telling them that the child was most likely the other of the twins.

My family members all felt like they were dreaming. Just half a year ago, during the Chinese New Year, the babies were born prematurely, and the doctor said both were girls, so only one survived. How come a little grandson appeared now?

After Jiang Weidong and Sun Aimin explained the situation, they began to understand what was going on and started cursing at the people in the hospital.

Sun Aimin advised Jiang Weidong: "Don't make this public now. When the results of the paternity test with the child come out, we will definitely go to the hospital to settle the score."

Jiang Weidong urged emphatically: "Dad, Mom, you guys help take care of this child for the time being, I have to go back to work tomorrow. I will come back when the results are out. This child should be fine, he looks a lot like Feifei, but he is too thin.

I'll go out and buy him some milk powder and clothes later, you guys just have to work hard these days..."

Jiang Weidong's mother-in-law gave birth to two daughters. Although the eldest daughter married in this city, they live far away. The couple is busy at work and have to take care of the children. They usually only go home once every one or two months. The children are mainly taken care of by their grandparents.

The second daughter is Jiang Weidong's wife. She married to the next city, which is considered to be marrying far away. It is more troublesome for her to go home. If she wants to see her granddaughter, the interval will be even longer.

Especially now that the child is young, his wife has not returned to her parents' home since she returned home after finishing her confinement period.

If Jiang Weidong hadn't come here to look for his children, the couple would probably not come back until next year's Chinese New Year.

Now the old couple are retired and have nothing to do. Now they heard that they were asked to take care of the child, they were so happy.

The old lady has already made up her mind that when her son-in-law comes to pick up the child in a month, she will make sure that he is raised to be plump and white.

For this family, Sun Aimin has helped the family so much, so they must not treat him poorly.

While inviting Sun Aimin to drink tea, eat snacks and fruits, the old lady directed the old man to go out and chop meat and buy fish, shrimp and vegetables.

Afterwards, she called her eldest daughter who was married locally and asked her to come home after get off work in the evening so that she could help the old lady cook a sumptuous meal.

Sun Aimin and Jiang Weidong had been out since the morning and had been busy until the afternoon. They were really hungry and tired, and could not refuse the hospitality, so they decided to stay for dinner.

As for accommodation at night, he had already made arrangements with his brother-in-law Yuan Heng and would stay at his house for one night.
