"No, no, Uncle and Auntie, I t this sister by chance, it’s fate, please don’t do this."
The woman’s mom cried while thanking and occasionally scolding the man, from her words, she learned that the man’s last na is Li, first na Jian, but doesn’t know which university he’s a teacher at, truly an animal in human clothing.
When asked about the child’s future, the girl’s mom shook her head vigorously: "We can’t take her. If we did, her life would be ruined; just listen to her, you take her away, find a good family, whether she lives well or not in the future depends on her own fate."
"Really not taking her?" Both parents shook their heads, "We plan to let her take the university entrance exam again, she still needs to get married in the future, we’ll find her a good man, even if he’s poor, as long as he’s good to her and doesn’t mind her past, we’ll be satisfied. But if she takes the child with her, she will find it hard to settle her whole life, she’s only 19, not even 20 yet," when they got emotional, couldn’t help but cry, then turned their heads away, waving their hands to indicate they didn’t want to see the child again.
The girl’s dad took out five banknotes from his pocket: "This is fifty yuan and a written statent from our family, this covers the child’s nutrition expenses for the first three months and serves as evidence that others can trust; you must accept this, it’s the last thing her mom can do for her. Miss, you’re a good person, please take care of her in the future."
He then bowed deeply to her and also turned and left.
Ye Huan couldn’t quite describe her feelings, as if such things were not uncommon in either this life or the previous one, it was always the won who suffered, while the n, as the girl said, feared that in a few days he’d find soone else, if she sent her back, it would be better but...
Ye Huan carried the child and walked out of the hospital, looking back every few steps, finding a secluded place, she bundled up the things the new mother used and put them into her space, including the umbilical cord and placenta, intending to find a suitable place to bury these things as a way to show hope for the child.
Then she returned to her own hospital, disregarding the looks from her colleagues, and directly borrowed the hospital’s phone to call Tong Zhan.
"Husband, I’ve co across a tough decision, can you co to our hospital?"
Then she went back to the dorm with the child, boiled hot water, bathed, fed, dressed, washed diapers, and finally coaxed the child to sleep. She hadn’t been lying on the bed for long when Tong Zhan burst through the door, seeing she was okay, he sighed in relief, then noticed the baby lying beside her.
He widened his eyes and stared at her, "Where did you get...this?"
"Last night, found him," then she explained the situation about the child to Tong Zhan and quietly watched his reaction.
"So, no one wants him now?" Ye Huan nodded, "Yes, no one wants him, I didn’t know what to do, so I called you,"
Actually, Tong Zhan already understood what Ye Huan ant, after all, she was the one who delivered him, from birth until now, she’s been taking care of him arduously.
He pursed his lips, "Let’s go, we’ll talk to the director."
This decision imdiately made Ye Huan break into a radiant smile, "You’ve agreed?"
"You’re already holding him and won’t let go, how could I disagree? However, while registering the household is easy, the difficult part is, whom do you plan to hand him over to for care?"
Ye Huan imdiately replied, "I’m planning to transfer to neurosurgery, I’ve beco familiar with the ergency departnt now, and with my abilities, I’m also qualified to switch departnts. As long as I’m not staying in the ergency room, I’ll have more ti, and then I’ll look for a reliable person to help take care of him. He doesn’t need breast milk, he can drink formula, and after the age of two, I can take care of him myself because our hospital has daycare services. Does that sound okay to you?"
"It seems like you’ve already thought this through since I’ve been here?"
Ye Huan sheepishly nodded, "You, will you be upset or feel uncomfortable?"
Tong Zhan laughed, "Silly girl, it was originally my fault to you, now that you can accept it so calmly, why should I have all those ssy thoughts? Rest assured, he’ll be our son from now on, what do you plan to na him?"
Nas like Jianguo, Hongqi, and Guoqing, she didn’t like any of them, "He is our family’s elder son; I hope he can be pure and kind in the future. He was also born on a rainy day, let’s call him Liu Hongqing, a pool of clear water, coming out clean and living an honest life."
"Liu Hongqing? What a good na, you were so careful to co up with this surna, but when you just said elder son, do you also plan to adopt more?"
Ye Huan bashfully replied, "Yes, when there’s a chance, I’ll adopt more, a boy with the surna Tong, a girl with the surna Ye, this way, our family can be complete, and it won’t be in vain that you stayed with your adoptive parents for a while, no matter how they treated you, we have no reason to forget this kindness, what do you think?"
Tong Zhan said nothing, he just pulled her into his arms, "My Huanhuan, how can you be so kind?"
Then the couple took the child to the director, and then to the union, reporting the child’s existence and origin. The director was also gratified that the couple had quickly co to terms with this reality, so he showed them imnse respect and care, and he even said that if milk powder tickets weren’t enough in the future, he’d find a way. He even kept the issue of an old lady in mind, asking if there was a suitable person in the hospital’s family mbers. Ye Huan was extrely grateful and even offered fifteen yuan per month for the caregiver’s fee...
Three days later, the child was registered under Tong Zhan’s household. Although the case officers didn’t understand why the father’s last na was Tong while the child’s was Liu, since the higher-ups had specially instructed them over the phone to do this, they dared not say anything. When the couple got their brand-new household registration booklet, they exchanged smiles, wasn’t this the greatest pride of becoming a new parent?
