At this time, someone knocked on the door, and Xiao Fang looked through the cat's eyes. A middle-aged woman she didn't know was holding a plastic bag in her hand.He opened the door down.

"Eh? Are you?"

"I'm in the family of Xiaoqi's stepmother... She asked me to take her to celebrate the New Year."

"Oh, oh, I finally remembered. It's been a month since I didn't ask, and our family is busy. You see, I have someone at home today, and I couldn't ask Xiaoqi to come to our place for dinner. , I bought a few steamed buns for her to deal with for a meal or two. Xiaoqi’s mother is not good at this, why is she just throwing it here at the age of eight or nine, who cares about it. —— You take her back to celebrate the New Year, and discuss with her mother exactly what to do, I heard that the house will be confiscated soon." The neighbor woman was embarrassed to say "stepmother", so she called Xiaoqi's stepmother "" Xiaoqi's mother".

"Hey, I see. Auntie, take this bun home and eat it yourself. I'll take her to dinner."

The woman at the door originally wanted to verify his identity, fearing that he was a child abductor, but seeing that he was handsome, kind-hearted, and polite and sincere in his words, he didn't look like a bad person no matter what, so she stopped investigating him. Yes, I picked up a few buns and went home. ——Actually, the main reason is that she was tired of taking care of Xiaoqi and her family's affairs, and she didn't have the energy to take care of it anymore, so she let Xiaofang take the child away.

He also closed the door, and saw Xiaoqi coming out with a schoolbag on her back.

"Have you collected all your clothes?"

"Ah."

"Come on, check it for brother." Xiao Fang roughly rummaged through the clothes inside to see if he had brought enough.He opened the window again, and turned to tell her to get an umbrella.

Then, Xiao Fang and her checked the power lines in the house again, turned off everything that should be turned off, and then took her downstairs.

As soon as we got downstairs, there was a bang of thunder, and the raindrops fell, and the eaves at the entrance of the corridor were raining like ropes.

Seeing the heavy rain, Xiao Fang lowered his head and asked Xiao Qi, "Why don't we go back and wait a while? Wait until the rain drops a little before we leave?"

"Big brother, let's go straight away, maybe it's still the same if we wait..."

When she said this, Xiao Fang felt that she didn't want to stay in that house for a moment.

Xiao Fang and her held an umbrella and walked forward in the rain.

After leaving the community, turn to the street, hail a taxi, and go to the high-speed rail station.

After more than two hours, when Xiao Fang was standing in front of his small shop, taking out the key to open the iron door, the rain was still heavy. ——It is raining in Wucheng and several surrounding cities.

He bent over and squatted down to unlock the lock. Xiaoqi stood behind him holding an umbrella for him.

After opening the door and entering, he asked Xiaoqi to sit, while he went to another small door, and brought the dog back.The dog wagged its tail when it saw Xiaoqi, and Xiaoqi also came to hug it.Xiao Fang thought to himself, that's right, they should live together.He asked: "Xiaoqi, how long has this dog been bought back to your home?" It seems that Fang has never heard Xiaoqi call that woman "mother".

Xiaoqi ate and lived with him for two days.Because there was no sleeping bag at home, Xiaoqi slept on his bed, with each of them sharing the quilt.It can only be done like this.Xiao Fang was still thinking, why not buy another sleeping bag and come back.After all, she still has to stay for a few more days and sleep on the same bed every day, which is unreasonable.

Lao Fang sent a message to Xiao Fang: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, are you coming back?"—Since the incident of that woman came to find Lao Fang, the contact between Lao Fang and Xiao Fang seems to have decreased.

Last weekend, Lao Fang didn't come to Xiao Fang's place, which happened to be the first two days after Xiao Qi arrived; Xiao Fang didn't mention to Lao Fang that he brought his fucking stepdaughter back.He himself felt that this matter was too incredible, and he was afraid that his father's jaw would drop in shock.

Xiao Fang replied: "Dad, I'll go to your place tomorrow. I'll take a little girl there."

His father suddenly became curious: "What little girl? Have you finally made a girlfriend?" In Wucheng, any girl who is 24 years old or below can be called a little girl.Lao Fang was suddenly a little excited, thinking that his son had finally talked about a girlfriend.

"No, she is..." Xiao Fang told his father about Xiao Qi.He also said that this incident was beyond his expectation, he just wanted to come to the door to warn the woman not to bother them anymore, but he met Xiaoqi, she was there alone, and he really didn't know how to live.What's more, it's the end of the new year, and everything has to wait until this year is over.

Lao Fang thought about it and agreed.But he had a hidden worry in his heart, he was a little afraid that the child would not leave, she had nothing to do with their family after all, he was afraid that Xiao Fang would be too soft-hearted, what would happen if he didn't send the child away when he saw that the child was pitiful, Raising a child is expensive these days.

So after he knew this, he kept thinking in his heart that after the new year, he must watch his son and send the little girl away.He felt that even raising that puppy was quite expensive. After seeing Lao Fang for so long, the woman no longer contacted him. He was wondering if the woman didn't want to have a puppy anymore. Maybe she would sell it. Once it was sold, it would only cost about a thousand yuan, and she was so anxious that she didn't know where she was going to run, so she simply didn't even bother to sell it.In the past few days, Lao Fang even thought about whether he should ask Xiao Fang to sell the puppy.

Now Xiao Fang and Lao Fang have agreed that Xiao Fang will bring Xiaoqi to Lao Fang tomorrow, and the three of them will celebrate the New Year together.

Xiao Qin and Xiao Li have also gone back to their hometown.This New Year is just the three of them.

But this is also more lively than in previous years.In previous years, Lao Fang and Xiao Fang lived together.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, it was a sunny day in the cold winter. Xiao Fang wanted to take Xiao Qi out to play. He thought he would send her back in a few days, so why not let her have fun here in Wucheng Play.

He called Ren Dongsheng, who runs the farmhouse, and asked them if they would open the door on the fifth and sixth day of the year. He wanted to take a child to play on the farm.

Ren Dongsheng said: "We don't open until the eighth day of the lunar new year. Come tomorrow, I will treat you specially. My parents came up the mountain from the city to celebrate the New Year a few days ago, and my uncle and the others also came. Everyone crowded around me. I lived in the farmhouse, and I just went down the mountain yesterday, and my place suddenly became deserted, and I was a little bored. You come! You can also accompany me."

"Okay. Let's go then."

"Where's Uncle Fang? Call him and come here together. His tenants have gone home for the New Year. You're here, he's so boring by himself."

"Okay, I'll ask him."

After Xiao Fang asked his father, his father also said to go.

So Lao Fang, Xiao Fang and Xiao Qi went to Dongshan.

Ren Dongsheng took Xiaoqi to the white strawberry shed. Xiaoqi picked a lot and ate the sweet and sweet fruit named "Snow White". She seemed to forget her worries for a while.

Xiao Fang told Ren Dongsheng about Xiao Qi's current situation.He said that he didn't know what Xiaoqi would face after sending her back in two days.

Ren Dongsheng said: "You have to get her father's death certificate, and her current guardian's waiver of custody, as well as a power of attorney. This kind of thing is usually best raised by her biological parents' brothers and sisters, But you said that there is no one in her father's family, and her biological mother's family is in the country, and they are unwilling to raise her... Then you have to send her to another family for adoption. Your mother... must not be willing to raise her... This matter is the court It should be taken care of, just send her to some social welfare institutions that can foster children... This is their negligence, and it should have been taken care of early on. Maybe the city is small, and even the courts there have many imperfections , Incomplete places..."

"Oh, what's the proof, guardian, I called her, and now the number has become empty. If I'm serious, I can sue her, she can't just throw the child under her guardianship aside like this .”

"Forget it, what are you bothering with her? Well, let me help you ask someone to see if the procedures for this matter can be simplified. Now the first thing is to ensure that you have a place to live after you send her back, right? .”

"Yes, please ask for me."

After Xiaoqi was sent back to the small town, she entered a nursing center, and then she started school.Xiao Fang told her to be good, saying that he would visit her often.When he was about to leave, she grabbed his hand, but she didn't say anything to hold him back or beg him.

After Xiaofang returned to Wucheng, a week later, he went back to Xiaoqi's nursing center to see her.He asked her if she was doing well, and she said yes, she could adapt.

In the following month, Xiao Fang visited Xiaoqi's care center every Saturday to see her.For this reason, Lao Fang no longer went to Xiao Fang's small shop to cook on Saturdays; instead, he went to Xiao Fang's on Sundays to improve his meals.

In April, every gust of spring breeze brings with it a few traces of grass fragrance, which melts the warmth.

April [-]rd is Thursday.Xiao Fang opened the door of the small shop after nine o'clock in the morning, and just wanted to stretch at the gate, when he saw Xiao Qi squatting in front of the gate without warning.On the sidewalk, near the cycle path, are trees equally spaced, each with a square bed.Xiaoqi was squatting beside the garden, as if she had been waiting for Xiaofang to open the door.

As soon as Xiao Fang opened the door, they looked at each other, Xiao Qi rushed up, put his arms around his waist, and said that she would live with him, that she didn't want to go back to the nursing center.She begged Xiaofang to take her in.

There was no sign of all this. Xiao Fang always felt that Xiao Qi lived well there, but who knew that she might just pretend to be very comfortable living there.

Xiao Fang brought her into the small shop and began to accuse her: "What's the matter with you! You came here alone? The money I left you last week, you used it to buy a bus ticket! What are you doing here if you don't go to class? What did you come by? You can’t take the high-speed rail, can you come by long-distance bus?”

Xiaoqi didn't speak, but nodded, and didn't speak again.

Xiao Fang shoved her and said, "You are so courageous! Where is the phone number of the teacher's office? I'll call it!"

Then, he called Xiaoqi's class teacher first, and then called the temporary care center where Xiaoqi was currently living.He also said that he was a relative of Xiaoqi's former custodian, that Xiaoqi came to him, and then accepted their accusations on the phone... He said that because of something that happened at home, the child has actually been emotional until now They were not very stable, and they began to express their understanding on the other end of the phone, telling him to try his best to calm the child's emotions, and then send him back as soon as possible.He said it might take two days, that she had been crying—he made it up, and they agreed.

Xiao Fang guessed that they didn't want to comfort a troublesome crying bag, and when they heard that Xiao Qi was crying all the time, they wanted him to finish comforting her here before sending her back.

Finally finished the two calls.

Then, he began to comfort Xiaoqi, persuading her, and after two days, he sent her back.

Unexpectedly, after a month, she ran back again.

Now, Fang Jie really had no choice.

She told him that she once overheard someone in their nursing center say that it is very difficult for her to be adopted, and only young people will be adopted. People of her age will look at her experience again. Information, refused to ask.

Xiao Fang couldn't think of a solution, so he asked Gu Xiaocheng how to solve this kind of situation.

When Gu Xiaocheng heard his narration, the reaction in his heart was actually: You don't have the slightest idea to take her in. After all, she has nothing to do with you, why do you meddle in this business...

But Xiao Gu was afraid that Xiao Fang would think that he was a cold-blooded, unloving, and unreasonable person, so he didn't say what he really thought in his heart. He just spoke according to Xiao Fang's meaning-this is also a kind of Ingratiating in disguise, as if expressing that he and he are people who are in harmony with each other and have similar values.

"Actually, I don't know about this either. However, I can help you ask. However, neither you nor your father meet the requirements for adoption. How can you adopt..."

"Then what should I do, she has come back twice." Xiao Fang didn't know what to do.

But in Xiaoqi, he sometimes sees a microcosm, a microcosm of himself when he was abandoned.But in fact, he felt that Xiaoqi's situation was worse than he was back then. After all, he had a biological father who was with him all the time, and Xiaoqi was truly alone and helpless.Although his father, Fang, has always been troublesome, they are his family after all, and they used to have an old house, which could be divided by demolition, but now this girl is really reduced to the point where she has no money.

She kept coming back to him, much to his annoyance.He thought and thought, and finally hesitantly asked Gu Xiaocheng if he could help them with adoption.

Afterwards, Xiao Gu helped Xiao Fang find someone else, and the adoption procedures were completed in three days—if it mattered, he could walk sideways, and any claims that he did not meet the requirements had to be sidelined.Even if it does not meet, it must be counted as meeting.

Three days later, Lao Fang, as the adopter and guardian, adopted Xiaoqi and changed her name to Fang Wenqi.For this matter, Lao Fang and Xiao Fang had argued for a whole day before, and the dispute was still behind Xiao Qi's back.The old Fang scolded him for looking for trouble, and said what to do if the man got it back, a dog can still be sold, but the man can’t be sold, this time it’s "in and out", it’s hard to deal with, can it be kept until she gets married in the future , before finally going out?You have to pay for a dowry. Children these days are all debts. Is there anyone who doesn’t gnaw at the old?Unexpectedly, he spent a long time talking with his lips, tongue and saliva, but in the end Xiao Fang just said that he didn't even plan to sell the dog.

This time, Lao Fang was completely pissed off.But after being angry for two days, he thought again, this kind of thing must be more stubborn than his son, he has already made a decision, and there is no way to change it.

Then Fang Wenqi's household registration, household registration and other personal certificates were gradually moved out of her original small town.

Gu Xiaocheng went to his friends in Wucheng to help Xiaoqi find an elementary school in the development zone.She goes in for third grade.
