Adoption relationship

The next day, Zhang Jianan took Xiang Weiding to a restaurant on the street for breakfast. There was really no material at home, and there was a shortage of everything to eat and use, so he had to come out and buy everything today.

The two went to bed early last night and woke up early.While sitting in a breakfast shop eating breakfast, there were many students with schoolbags coming and going.

It was only then that Zhang Jian'an remembered that this was the time when the students were going to school, and the 11-year-old boy next to him should have gone to school with his schoolbag on his back just like them.While eating, he paid special attention to Xiang Weiding's expression.

Xiang Weiding lowered his head and seemed to be concentrating on his meal. He didn't react at all even when three children next to him finished eating and accidentally bumped into his hand in a hurry.

On the surface, Wei Ding seems to be calm, but this is exactly what is abnormal.Even if the child is not eager to go to school, there is no need to ignore other students so much.

Alas, such a small child, it is impossible not to go to school.

Zhang Jian'an was a little worried, no matter how much he liked this child, he couldn't delay the child's schooling!Then he remembered Liu Tao, the missing policeman who would throw people at him.

This breakfast was finished by Zhang Jianan sighing from time to time, causing Xiang Weiding to look at him with strange expressions frequently.

After dinner, Zhang Jian'an dragged Xiang Wei to the street where the original owner remembered selling clothes.Xiang Weiding's clothes are long and short, and they are all too old. It is time to buy new clothes that fit.

When Zhang Jianan dragged Xiang Weiding into the children's clothing store and asked him to pick clothes, Xiang Weiding looked at him with indescribable eyes and asked, "Why?"

Why are you so nice to him?

Zhang Jianan smiled at the child, reached out and pinched his nose lightly, and said, "Dress you up beautifully, and then find a place to sell you later."

Xiang Weiding knew that Zhang Jianan was teasing him again, because he knew that this man would definitely not treat him like this.

When he was Xu Wen in his previous life, he didn't like shopping very much, and every time his girlfriend asked him to go to the street, he was very reluctant.He was very interested in choosing clothes for Xiang Weiding today.

After shopping the whole street, I bought three sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes for Xiang Weiding, and Zhang Jianan bought a coat for himself.

Then I found a barber shop, cut Xiang Weiding's hair shorter, and asked the barber to choose a more suitable hairstyle for the child.

When he came out of the barbershop, Xiang Weiding, who was completely new from head to toe, was not used to it.However, Zhang Jianan was quite satisfied. Although Xiang Weiding is still a thin child now, his image has changed a lot and he already looks a bit like a handsome boy in the future.

At noon, Zhang Jianan took Xiang Weiding to find a Chinese restaurant with a good environment for dinner. When he was in the hospital, Zhang Jianan observed Xiang Weiding when he had nothing to do, so now he ordered a large table of dishes according to Xiang Weiding's taste.

It's a pity that there is no amusement park in this small place in Huacheng, so after lunch, Zhang Jianan could only take Xiang Weiding to the park to play.In the parks of this era, there are small games such as playing balloons, putting on statues, and throwing toys. Zhang Jianan, a big man, naturally doesn't play these games. He came out today because he wanted Xiang Weiding to have a good time.

But the child Xiang Weiding never asked for anything, and it is the same now, but his eyes are always wandering around these things curiously.

Zhang Jian'an thought, this child is just too well-behaved, so well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed, he never asks for it, unlike other children, he asks for whatever he wants, and makes trouble if he doesn't give it.

In the end, under Zhang Jianan's initiative, the little guy played all these games.When he decided to leave at 02:30 in the afternoon, the little guy still looked back step by step.

After hailing a taxi, Zhang Jianan told the driver to go to the Chengnan Public Security Bureau. He planned to go to Liu Tao to ask about the situation. With a stable environment, I can go to school like other children without delay.

"Where are you going and what are you going to do?" Xiang Weiding asked curiously as the red tide on his face had not subsided.

"Look for someone." Zhang Jian'an put the things he bought this morning on the side, patted Weiding's face, and said, "Do you still remember the policeman who accompanied you to the hospital? Uncle went to find him."

A chill rose from the bottom of my heart, and I asked Wei Ding, "Why do you want him?"

"Didn't he say he was contacting your relatives? I'll ask him if he has found someone." Zhang Jian'an looked out the car window and replied casually.

After arriving at the place and paying the fare, Zhang Jian'an habitually went to hold the child's hand, but was avoided by Xiang Weiding.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jianan frowned, not understanding why the child who had always listened to him suddenly became awkward.

Xiang Weiding took a step back from Zhang Jianan, and watched the man stretch out his hand. It was wider and thicker than his own, and it had the strength of an adult. It always brought him a kind of warmth. , Feel at ease and safe.

Yesterday, it was this hand that led him into the house, and it was this hand that pointed to the room and said that he would live in that room in the future. He already thought yesterday that as long as he was obedient, as sensible and obedient as this man hoped, he would be able to live in that room. would really own that room, would really be able to be kept.

Today, it was this hand that held him tightly to go shopping, as if afraid of losing him, it was this hand that chose clothes for him, and the owner of the hand treated him very well, something he had never felt before.

Xiang Weiding even thought that even if a man won't treat him so well all the time, as long as Zhang Jianan doesn't abuse him too much, he can occasionally touch his head or face with his hand as he did during this time, to show his closeness to him, and to bring him happiness. If you like the temperature, then he will be very satisfied and happy.

...But who is he...Xiang Weiding almost forgot.

This is a person who was almost killed by his so-called father!

It turns out... In fact, he is not his own, and he will not want him.

Finally don't want to tolerate yourself?

Finally want to get rid of it?

So want to find his relatives and send him away?It's a pity that Xiang Weiding doesn't feel that he still has relatives.

Xiang Weiding raised his head and looked straight into Zhang Jian'an's eyes. There seemed to be worries about himself... During this period of getting along with the man, he felt that if the man treated him so well, he might not give him away. he goes.

Today a man buys clothes for himself, takes him by the hand and goes to the park to play, just like other parents take their children, everything is so good today, and now you want to send him away suddenly?Why is it so good today?

compensation?Xiang Weiding didn't like this kind of hypocrisy that made him sick.

Xiang Weiding stared at Zhang Jianan fiercely with intense grief and indignation in those eyes that belonged to a child. In order not to let himself cry out in embarrassment in front of this person, he bit his lip firmly, and then bought Zhang Jianan for him in the morning. Throwing the things on the ground, a person ran in.

"This child..."

Zhang Jian'an let out a long sigh, not knowing what stimulated him.Then he bent down resignedly to pick up the things thrown on the ground, chased after the little guy and walked in.

Everyone in the Public Security Bureau seemed to know Xiang Weiding, and no one came up to stop him.But when Zhang Jianan entered, a staff member came up immediately.

"What's the matter with you?"

Zhang Jianan looked at Xiang Weiding who was sitting on a chair in a corner after running in. Seeing that he was not running around, Zhang Jianan decided to ask him later.

"I don't know if Liu Tao is here right now? I have something to do with him."

"Oh, you're looking for him... It just so happens that he hasn't been on duty yet, so I'll call him for you." The clerk was quite enthusiastic.

"Thank you."

Liu Tao came out after a while, and when he saw Zhang Jian'an was looking for him, he was still dazed for a moment, and only realized when he saw Xiang Weiding in the corner, and greeted him with an embarrassed expression.

"Maybe you just got out of the hospital these two days? I'm so sorry that I made you go there in person." Liu Tao took Zhang Jian'an to his office and asked, "Did that kid cause you trouble?"

"That's not true, Xiang Weiding is a very good kid." Zhang Jianan said with a smile.

Liu Tao looked at Zhang Jian'an strangely. Can that child be described as good?

"We contacted the Public Security Bureau of Chixi County, Province Y, and we learned that the situation is very unsatisfactory." Liu Tao said with a headache, "According to the information from Chixi County, this child can only be sent to an orphanage. .”

"Hey, doesn't he have any relatives? Where's his mother?" Zhang Jianan asked in surprise, not expecting this result.

"Uh... It is said that Xiang Weiding's mother is engaged in that special profession - generally speaking, she is a sex service provider. She and Xiang Dong didn't have a marriage certificate or anything. After giving birth to Xiang Weiding, she disappeared from Chixi County. , and then there has been no news."

"Xiangdong's parents died young, and he had an older brother and an older sister, but Xiangdong's older brother died of cancer a few years ago, and his older sister also severed ties with Xiangdong. The whole family moved out of Chixi County the year before last, so we can no longer be contacted. "

"According to the information sent by the Chixi County Public Security Bureau, Xiang Weiding has been in an orphanage several times. During the 11 years from Xiang Weiding's birth to Xiangdong's death in this accident, Xiangdong often left Chixi County. At first, before Xiang Weiding was five years old, there were relatives who were willing to raise him temporarily."

"When Xiang Weiding was six years old, Xiang Dong was sentenced to two years in prison for stealing. During these two years, Xiang Weiding was sent to the Chixi County Welfare Institute for the first time because he had no relatives willing to support him. Not too sure. From now on, whenever Xiang Dong leaves his son behind, Xiang Weiding will be sent to an orphanage."

Liu Tao's words shocked Zhang Jian'an. He met such a pair of parents, and those relatives who were unwilling to lend a helping hand to him. of!

"Even if his relatives don't want to raise him, wouldn't there be well-meaning people in the society to adopt him?" Zhang Jianan asked.

Liu Tao shook his head, flipped through the information on the table and said: "Because of the relevant regulations of our country's adoption law, after adoption, the adopter is not allowed to terminate the adoption relationship until the adopted person is a minor, so the relationship between the adopter and the adopted person is normal. There is a period of contact, that is, the adoption period. Xiang Weiding was adopted three times, and was sent back to the orphanage within half a year each time. It is said that he refused to obey the discipline at the adoptive parents’ house. It was reported that he had a bad habit of stealing things, and even injured his adoptive father once, and since then, no one in Chixi County is willing to adopt him."

fight?

Zhang Jian'an believed that if someone hadn't provoked Xiang Weiding on purpose, it would be impossible for this child to attack others on his own initiative.

Steal something?

He looks cold and arrogant on the outside, but he is actually such a well-behaved and obedient child, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like a person who would do such a thing.

Hurt the adoptive father?

This is even more impossible, just how old Wei Ding, who is malnourished, looks like, not to mention the past two years, even now he can't possibly injure an adult!

"In short, no matter whether you send him back to Chixi County or locally, because no one is willing to raise him, you can only temporarily send him to an orphanage." Liu Tao made a summary of the child's fate, and then said: " If you sent him back today, then we can only send him to the orphanage as originally planned, hoping that someone in the local area will be willing to adopt him."

Zhang Jian'an was stunned by Liu Tao's words. When he took Xiang Weiding out in the morning, he originally only planned to have dinner and make a big purchase, and he came to Liu Tao on a whim.Because he knew that Xiang Weiding had a father like Xiang Dong, and he also knew that the child's situation might not be very good, so he had already made a mental preparation, but he never thought that the situation was so bad.

"How come no one adopted him?" Zhang Jian'an couldn't believe it, and murmured, "Weiding is so obedient, so sensible, he is such a good child."

Liu Tao looked at Zhang Jian'an suspiciously, wondering how Xiang Weiding had such a good image in his heart, even if he didn't believe the evaluation of Xiang Weiding in the received materials, but Xiang Weiding was in the bureau those few days. I saw it with my own eyes, with a cold face all day long, as if everyone owed him, it has nothing to do with the word "good"...

"Ahem...Even if Xiang Weiding is a good boy in your opinion, the fact is that no one in his hometown is willing to adopt him." Liu Tao pointed out the reality.

Zhang Jianan was silent, what should we do?What about the child Xiang Weiding?Give it to the police and let them send the child around like a football?So why is an obedient child treated like this?He was aggrieved in his heart, and said, "I want to talk to the child first."

When Zhang Jianan came out of Liu Tao's office, he saw that Xiang Weiding was still in the same state as he went in, with a small body, leaning on the chair alone, and he suddenly felt his eyes sore.

He walked over and sat next to the child, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.

He raised his hand and fumbled in his pocket for a while, but couldn't find what he urgently needed at this time, only to realize that he didn't buy cigarettes at all.

Zhang Jian'an doesn't smoke. He was also a seldom smoker in his previous life. He only occasionally smoked one or two cigarettes when he was particularly upset. Most of the time he lit the cigarette and watched it slowly burn into ashes between his fingers.

"I never asked you, although I was stabbed by your father, I was still alive after all, but your father died because of this incident, would you hate me or blame me?" After sitting for a few minutes, Zhang Jianan finally Asked softly in a hoarse voice.

It would be best for that kind of man to die, so how could he blame him?Xiang Weiding felt very uncomfortable, a puff of breath was blocked in his throat, he was afraid that he would cry out when he opened his mouth, and could not help begging him not to leave him, but——he was not qualified to ask, Xiang Weiding Ding could only lower his head and bite his lip hard, and after a long, long time, he slowly shook his head.

Zhang Jian'an stretched out his hand to put the child in his arms, and hugged him tightly, feeling the child's slightly warm breath, as well as a wet touch that could be felt through the clothes.

Ugh……

He sighed in his heart, for the sake of the poor child in his arms, and at the same time, he also sighed a little that he would have such a day-so actively wanted to bear the responsibility of a life!

Zhang Jian'an didn't know what conditions and procedures were required for adoption, so he had to ask Liu Tao again.

Liu Tao was surprised to know that Zhang Jianan planned to adopt Xiang Weiding, but after being surprised, he readily expressed his willingness to help with the follow-up matters.

After all, Xiang Weiding’s father had an accident in the local area, so it’s not unreasonable to just send him a child back to Chixi County, but the follow-up problems left behind are very complicated. After all, even families without children generally like to adopt children. Children from 1 to under 6 years old.

When Zhang Jianan led Xiang Weiding out of the police station, the child held Zhang Jianan's hand tightly and followed him closely with his head down.

The child's palms felt sticky with sweat. Zhang Jianan looked down at him, and saw small drops of water dripping from Xiang Weiding's drooping face, wetting a small piece of the clothes on his chest.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jianan stopped and asked in a low voice.

Xiang Weiding rushed forward, hugged Zhang Jianan's waist tightly, buried his head in Zhang Jianan's arms, his body trembled slightly, and after a while, he choked up and said, "I thought you sent me back, so you just sent me back." won't take me away..."

"Silly boy……"

Zhang Jianan let out a breath of hot air slowly from his chest, in order to avoid embarrassing himself, he had to raise his head.

It took a week, as the Zhang family had a good local network, and with the help of the policeman Liu Tao, the adoption procedures were quickly completed.

"Xiao Weiding, you should call me daddy now."

In order to celebrate the addition of an 11-year-old son, Zhang Jianan prepared a large table of dishes with Xiang Weiding's help today, and then looked at the child on the dining table expectantly.

Xiang Weiding looked at him, then lowered his head, flipping his chopsticks unconsciously on the table.

"What's the matter? Don't you even want to call your father?" Zhang Jianan then said in a coaxing tone: "I will buy you a lot of toys you like, and I will also buy you beautiful clothes. You can provide whatever you like. Come out, and I will treat you very well."

"No toys..."

"No pretty clothes..."

"I don't want anything...you don't have to be so nice..."

"I will listen to you, don't send me away..."

... Xiang Weiding's muffled voice came from under his bowed head.

Alas, this child can really spoil the atmosphere!

Zhang Jian'an walked over, hugged the child on his lap, patted his back with one hand, stroked his hair with the other, and promised, "I won't see you away... I won't see you away..."
