Chapter 1053: Huang Ruiyue
Chapter 1053: Huang Ruiyue
"Ah!" Little August, who was playing on the carpet, saw someone return and immediately clapped her hands with a big smile.
Yu Xiang, who was playing with Xiao Bayue, turned around when she saw this, then smiled and teased the little girl, "Daddy's back!"
"Oh oh oh," the little one babbled and raised her hands toward Huang Xiaochuan, meaning she wanted him to hug her.
This story goes back to last year.
Last September, the police said they had not found the woman who abandoned the child. They had interviewed the surrounding residents but had not obtained any useful clues. The police deduced that the woman might be from out of town and had left the city after abandoning the child, otherwise there would have been no clues at all.
Since the person who abandoned the child cannot be found, the child must be transferred to an orphanage.
When the people from the welfare home arrived that day, they weren't even allowed to enter; they were stopped at the door by Huang Zeji and Huang Ruiying, the brother and sister.
When Huang Xiaochuan returned home after receiving the call, the two sides were still facing off through the door. Seeing that the siblings were adamant, the bodyguards at home naturally refused to let the people from the orphanage into the house.
Huang Ruiying's eyes were red, and after seeing him, she asked, "Dad, why do we have to send August to an orphanage? It's not like we can't afford to raise her."
"It's the rule that abandoned children are placed in the care of a welfare institution, and then we help them find suitable adoptive parents," Huang Xiaochuan patiently explained to his daughter.
"Our family is perfect, why don't we just stay here?" Huang Ruiying insisted.
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Huang Xiaochuan went inside.
After entering the house, he went straight to the nursery on the first floor. The little one had just finished drinking milk, and the nanny was holding him and burping him. When he saw him come in, the little one's eyes followed him and his little mouth grinned.
At this moment, Huang Ruiying, who came in with him, said, "Dad, you adults always think so much and so far ahead. I knew that August was so small and no one wanted her. It's pitiful. It's not like we can't afford to raise her, and it's not like we're treating her badly. Let outsiders say what they want. Anyway, we don't know them, and it doesn't affect our lives."
Huang Xiaochuan was stunned.
He had to admit that he couldn't refute his daughter's words.
He glanced at the little guy who was smiling at him again and nodded: "I'll discuss it with your mother."
Huang Ruiying's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Don't be too happy yet."
"Hehe!" The little girl hugged his arm tightly. "I knew you were the best, Dad!"
He called Gao Song over and asked him to communicate with the police and the people at the welfare home, to ask them not to take the child away for the time being, and to give them a reply by tomorrow at the latest.
Gao Song immediately went to negotiate with the other party.
The police and staff from the welfare home, seeing that the family was interested in adopting the child, naturally cooperated fully, so they left immediately.
When Yu Xiang returned in the afternoon, she was surprised to see the little guy still there.
She could have stayed home today, but she didn't want to see the little one being taken away by the orphanage staff. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist, so she made an excuse to avoid it.
To my surprise, when I got home, the little guy was still there.
She asked the man, "What's going on?"
Huang Xiaochuan then repeated what Huang Ruiying had told him to Yu Xiang, and Yu Xiang remained silent for a long time after listening.
At this point, Huang Xiaochuan said, "I've thought about it and I'm planning to adopt this child, but I'd also like to hear your opinion. This is a big decision, so it requires the agreement of every family member."
After a long silence, Yu Xiang nodded: "Since that's the case, then I won't be the bad guy, so you three won't say I'm heartless later. So stay! But I have to remind you, this stay could be for life."
"Okay, it's settled then." The couple made their final decision.
Yu Xiang glanced out the window. The nanny was holding the little one in the yard, basking in the sun. Huang Zeji and Huang Ruiying, the brother and sister, were also there. The little one was waving his arms and legs, looking very happy.
Yu Xiang instructed the man, "Then you should quickly arrange for someone to complete the formalities, go through all the necessary procedures, and avoid leaving any potential problems."
"I know." Huang Xiaochuan smiled.
He then went downstairs to the yard and told his son and daughter about their decision.
"Yay!" Huang Ruiying was the most excited after hearing the news. She hugged the little one and said, "August, you're going to be my little sister from now on. Call me big sister."
Huang Ze then consulted with his father, saying, "Dad, why don't you give August a name?"
Huang Xiaochuan pondered for a moment: "Xiaoduo calls her August, so let's call her Huang Ruiyue!"
Huang Zeji nodded: "Huang Ruiyue sounds nice."
Since Huang Xiaochuan's family made the decision to adopt August, the elders, such as Lao Huang, Zeng Lijuan, and Zeng Jiahua, could no longer object. After all, Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang were not children, and their decision must have been made after careful consideration.
A few days later, the police issued the relevant documents, and the child was identified as an abandoned baby whose biological parents could not be found. According to the procedure, the child could be adopted by a qualified family.
Given the Huang family's circumstances, they certainly meet the requirements.
Therefore, Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang successfully completed all the procedures and officially became the child's adoptive parents.
Huang Xiaochuan also donated a large sum of money to the welfare home to improve the living environment and meals of the children living there, and promised to donate a sum of money to the welfare home every year in the future.
From then on, the Huang family had another little girl named Huang Ruiyue. Her birthday was August 3, 2011, which was also the day Huang Ruiying found August.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the little guy is already eight months old. With careful care, the little guy is getting stronger and stronger, and he has grown several baby teeth.
When the little guy asked him for a hug, Huang Xiaochuan's heart melted. He went over to hug the little guy, but Yu Xiang stopped him.
"You reek of alcohol. Go take a shower and change your clothes before you hug me."
Huang Xiaochuan could only smile apologetically at the little guy before going to take a bath. As soon as the little guy saw him leave, he was not happy at all, and his little mouth twitched as he was about to cry.
Yu Xiang quickly picked him up and comforted him, "Daddy's going to take a bath. He'll come and play with August after his bath."
Just as Yu Xiang was busy coaxing Xiao Bayue, Zeng Xia arrived.
When Yu Xiang saw her second sister-in-law arrive at the house at this time, she immediately guessed that something was wrong.
She greeted Zeng Xia warmly, "Second Sister's here!"
After Zeng Xia entered the room and didn't see her younger brother, she asked Yu Xiang, "Hasn't my little brother come back yet?"
"I just got back. I'm taking a shower upstairs. I'll be down in a bit. Please sit down for a while," Yu Xiang said, inviting Zeng Xia to sit down.
"Come here, August, let your second aunt give you a hug, okay?" Zeng Xia clapped her hands and teased the little one.
The little guy isn't shy around strangers. Even though he's only eight months old, he can already remember most of the people in his family, including Zeng Xia.
When her aunt wanted to hug her, she cooperated very well and stretched out her two little hands to meet her.
"Oh my, my sweetie!" Zeng Xia hugged the little guy with a doting expression.
