Chapter 104 Arabian Nights
Niu Wazi expressed his wish firmly.
This decision was highly recognized by Bai Zhonghuai. "Okay, let your uncle Bai take you away this afternoon."
"You guys?" Niu Wazi was puzzled. "Who else?"
Bai Zhonghuai explained, "My granddaughter Fenglai is also going to the village with her two children. You can keep them company in the future."
After Niu Wazi made the decision, he still felt uneasy.
Only when I heard that Grandpa Bai’s granddaughter was going with them did I feel relieved.
He doesn't care about the city or the countryside, he only cares about whether he can take good care of his younger brothers and sisters.
Besides, what’s so good about living in the city? They still can’t get enough food or warm clothes, and they are always bullied.
He always felt that the reason why Erniu's health deteriorated was that the children in the welfare home poured water on Erniu's quilt that winter, causing Erniu to catch a bad cold.
So he had no attachment to the city at all.
Sister Mingyue's suggestions seemed to give him a direction so that he wouldn't run around like a headless fly all day long.
There will be no more confusion and fear about the future.
Of course, the biggest reason was that he believed that Grandpa Bai would not harm him.
However, Niu Wazi looked at Tiedan beside him...
He said hesitantly, "Tiedan, how about I take Erniu over to check out the situation first, and you..."
Tiedan said in a low voice, "You want to abandon me?"
Niu Wazi waved his hands quickly, "No, no, how could that be. How could I abandon you? Didn't we swear a long time ago that we would not be born on the same day but would die on the same day..."
Bai Zhonghuai said helplessly, "Where did I hear such nonsense?"
Niu Wazi and Tiedan both scratched their heads a little embarrassedly. "We heard in those storybooks that this is what they said when they swore brotherhood."
"My granddaughter will be a literacy teacher in the village. Remember to go and listen, learn more, and avoid saying things that make people laugh and cry."
The two men humbly accepted the old man's teachings.
Knowing that there was still a lot to learn in the village, Niu Wazi no longer stopped Tiedan. At most, he could do more work. He had worked a lot in the welfare home anyway, so he was already used to it.
At least in the village, if you work hard, you can have enough to eat, but in the welfare home, your food is always withheld.
Gu Mingyue asked suspiciously, "No, why are you so anxious? Sister Bai hasn't started work yet, but you have arranged their studies in advance."
Bai Zhonghuai came closer, and Gu Mingyue thought he was going to tell her something secret.
My thoughts have already started to wander, wondering if those children could be the old man's illegitimate children?
No, the age doesn’t match!
Could it be his son's illegitimate child or something like that...
Gu Mingyue was excited and thought she would hear some rich family secrets, but she didn't expect the old man to say, "I'm just afraid that you will regret it, so I'm finally generous this time."
Gu Mingyue really couldn't help it and gave the other person a big eye roll for free.
Then he said speechlessly, "I am that kind of person. Okay, please stop making trouble here. Erniu hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet. How can you let them go back to the village? And they have to arrange a place to live when they go back, and they have to clean up for a while.
If not, let Bai Jie wait for them, so as to save time. I will go back and inform the villagers so that they won't surround them like a spectacle. I hope you don't mind me telling others about Bai Jie's situation."
"What are you going to say?"
"Just say that Sister Bai's husband died and she didn't want to stay in a sad place. She thought our villagers were good people, so it's a good idea for her to stay here and help everyone build the countryside. What's the matter? Do you have a better explanation?"
Bai Zhonghuai smiled and said, "Good, very good. I said you have a quick mind."
Gu Mingyue snorted, "Just say I'm good when you need me."
At this moment, she suddenly thought of the problem of handling the formalities, so she asked, "Grandpa, let's make a unilateral decision. It doesn't matter, will the welfare home agree?"
Hearing this, Niu Wazi was a little indignant. "Whether it's the kitchen or farming work in the courtyard, most of the work is done by kids my age like Tiedan. The dean always says that it's to train us;
Someone wanted to adopt Tiedan before, and I finally convinced him to agree. When I got to the door of the dean's office, I heard people in the hospital discussing that they couldn't send him away. The dean would definitely not agree. Sister Mingyue, can't we sneak away?"
Gu Mingyue shook her head. "If we want to leave, we should leave openly. We can't be ashamed to leave. If we do it secretly, we will become unreasonable even if we are right. The result will only make us more controlled by others."
After thinking for a while, he confirmed with them, "Are you sure you want to come back to the village with me?"
The two nodded.
"No regrets?"
"I will never regret it!"
Gu Mingyue clapped her hands and said, "Leave the orphanage to me. Do as I say. I guarantee they will send you off in person. As for the decision to go back to the village with me, you should go there and experience it for two days. If you are not used to it, tell me as soon as possible. Don't worry, if I can't handle it by then, there is still the old man. Right, Grandpa Bai?"
Bai Zhonghuai thought to himself, "This girl never suffers any loss."
But he said, "Yes, if you really can't adapt, you can come back with my granddaughter and I will make other arrangements. Anyway, there are plenty of ways to deal with it at home. Now the main thing is to recuperate."
Niu Wazi and Tiedan were deeply moved by this.
Erniu hasn't woken up yet, so she asks Tiedan to stay in the hospital with her.
Gu Mingyue took Niu Wazi and Bai Zhonghuai to the Public Security Bureau by car first.
She was not sure what procedures were required in a case like Niu Wazi's, so she had to find someone who knew the matter to ask clearly and then decide what to do next.
When I arrived at the Public Security Bureau, I went straight to Director Shen.
As prominent figures in the town, Bai Zhonghuai and Shen Yiming naturally knew each other.
The two shook hands and greeted each other.
Director Shen took the initiative to ask, "Why are you and Mingyue together?"
Bai Zhonghuai laughed, "She and I are close friends regardless of age difference. The little girl is a nice person. Everyone in our Bai family likes her very much."
Shen Yiming's eyes flashed. These words were to tell him that Gu Mingyue would be protected by the Bai family from now on.
He didn't ask how the two sides knew each other. Sometimes adults just need to keep their words to each other, and there's no need for anyone to go into too much detail.
Gu Mingyue's heart was slightly moved. The old man was quite loyal and knew to support her from outside. She should make him less angry next time.
Then, she explained to Director Shen the reason for coming here today.
After hearing about Niu Wazi's situation, Shen Yiming, who had already seen through the girl's personality, asked curiously, "Why did you want to take on this?"
"It's fate. We just happened to meet and the child looks good. Besides, President Wang has always said that our village doesn't have enough population and he always wants to merge our village with the neighboring village into one brigade. Now that someone has volunteered to settle down, he should have nothing to say. The child can rest assured to recover, and Gujia Village can expand its population. It's a win-win situation."
Shen Yiming pretended to be joking and said, "In that case, why not take the other children from the welfare home to your village as well?"
Gu Mingyue's eyes widened in shock, "Director Shen, what are you talking about? I met a few talented kids because they were lucky, and the children were recognized by the old man. I believe in the old man's vision, so I am willing to help.
But I am not a savior. You asked a little girl like me to help you solve this chronic disease that even the leaders can't solve. I really don't know whether you think too highly of me or the leaders are too inactive. Either way, I'm sorry, I can't do it."
Bai Zhonghuai pretended to cough and reminded her to be more restrained in her words.
Turning around, he politely apologized to Shen Yiming, "The child at home is young, and she speaks and acts straightforwardly. You should not argue with her."
Shen Yiming smiled and said, "It's okay. I've experienced her sharp tongue before. Besides, what she said was not without reason. It was just that I was too abrupt."
