Chapter 278 Acceptance (page 13)
The tractor pulled by the internal combustion engine was not as fast as the motorcycle. It took nearly two o'clock to get from Songjiang River to the forest farm. By the time they arrived at the forest farm, it was already past five o'clock.
Sheng Xiping had been out for seven or eight days and already missed home, so he got out of the car, said goodbye to everyone, and then led Chen Feng back in a hurry.
Before he could enter the gate, he heard the dog's movements.
Sheng Xiping stepped through the door. Several dogs in the yard wanted to pounce on him, pulling on their chains and squawking at Sheng Xiping.
Chen Feng saw dogs when he was in Lijiawa, and was even chased away by dogs.
So when he saw the four big dogs in the yard, he was so frightened that he trembled and hid behind Sheng Xiping. He grabbed Sheng Xiping's clothes tightly with both hands and almost cried in fear.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaofeng. These are hunting dogs raised by my uncle's family. They are dogs that go hunting in the mountains. They only bite prey and not humans.
It's been a long time since I've been back. They just missed me. It's okay. "
As Sheng Xiping said this, he came forward and touched the dogs' heads one by one to make them happy.
If the dog barks like this outside, can it still be heard in the house?
Zhang Shuzhen and Zhou Qinglan were putting away the food in the kitchen. When they heard the noise, they guessed that Sheng Xiping was back and hurriedly came out of the house to check.
At first glance, it turned out that it was none other than Sheng Xiping?
"Oh, you're finally back. Didn't you say you were only going to have a meeting for three days? Why are you away for seven or eight days?"
Zhang Shuzhen was happy to see her son, and only had Sheng Xiping in her eyes, plus Chen Feng, a small figure, who hid behind Sheng Xiping, so Zhang Shuzhen didn't see it for a while.
"Well, the meeting will only be held for three days. I have something to do in the provincial capital and was delayed."
After Sheng Xiping coaxed Gouzi, he clapped his hands and pulled Chen Feng out from behind.
"Mom, I met a child in the provincial capital. His parents couldn't be found. I couldn't find him, so I brought him back. What do you think we should do?"
Zhang Shuzhen was very happy to see her son, but when she saw the child, her expression suddenly changed.
"You, oh my God, how can you still bring people back?
Our family has so many people, why do you still go back to pick up the children? How do you keep this after you pick it up? "
Zhang Shuzhen had already raised enough to support six children. This was true for her own children, let alone the ones she had picked up. No matter how good-tempered someone is, she can't accept it.
"Say, you are in your early twenties, and your wife is marrying a man who is about to become a father. Why are you so unreliable in doing things?
How much of a burden will it be for you to bring back a child? Our family's life has only been good for a few days, why are you going through such trouble? "
Zhang Shuzhen was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
Zhou Qinglan stood at the door and watched her mother-in-law pointing at her husband without saying a word.
What to say? My mother-in-law's words make sense. It's not easy to raise a child. You have to raise your own child. What's the point of picking up an outsider?
But Zhou Qinglan couldn't say any words of blame.
Doesn’t she still know what kind of character her man is? My husband is such a generous and warm-hearted person who does not want to see others suffer.
She knew it before she got married, so what position can she blame now?
Therefore, Zhou Qinglan just stood there silently, neither helping nor expressing any opinions on either side.
"Mother, stop scolding him. The kid has been brought back. What's the use of scolding the boss?
Just take it back and keep it, thinking it is to accumulate blessings for Xiping's unborn child. "
At this time, Sheng Liancheng couldn't sit still on the kang, so he came out of the room and spoke to Zhang Shuzhen.
When Zhang Shuzhen heard this, she immediately lost her temper. Yes, she had taken the child back, how could she throw it out? Isn't that committing evil and causing harm?
"You, you, I've really made you so worried." Zhang Shuzhen glared at her son fiercely.
"Child, come here, let grandma take a look." Zhang Shuzhen softened her tone and waved to Chen Feng next to Sheng Xiping, asking him to come over.
Chen Feng raised his head and looked at Sheng Xiping. Even though they had only been together for two or three days, Chen Feng had great trust in Sheng Xiping.
"Go on, grandma is nice and won't scold you." Sheng Xiping smiled and pushed Chen Feng forward.
"Call grandma and grandpa, that's aunt."
Chen Feng took a few steps forward and knelt down in front of Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen.
"Hello grandpa, hello grandma. My name is Chen Feng. My uncle picked it up. I can't remember where my home is."
As soon as he said a few words, the child's tears fell.
The words were taught by Sheng Xiping on the way back, but the feelings came from Chen Feng's heart.
He left his mother when he was only eight years old and followed Sheng Xiping so far. Where is his home? what is it call? He doesn't even know.
If his parents don't come to pick him up in the future, he won't even know how to get home. When he thought of this, the child couldn't help crying.
Zhang Shuzhen is the most soft-hearted. When she sees this, how can she be angry again? He quickly picked up Chen Feng.
"Oh, look at this pitiful child. Whose parents are so cruel that they just leave their children outside?"
In these days, many children are thrown away if they cannot afford to raise them, but most of them are girls, and there are very few unwanted boys.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. Now that you've come to grandma's house, it will be your own home from now on. Tell grandma what you want to eat and what you want to do."
Zhang Shuzhen cried out to Chen Feng and immediately recognized the child without any rules.
At this time, Zhou Qinglan also came forward and touched Chen Feng's bald head.
"I am your uncle's wife, you call me auntie. Just follow us from now on."
Zhou Qinglan looked at Chen Feng carefully. He was so thin that he would cry when he saw him. He must have been thrown away because his family couldn't afford it.
Poor child, now that he's here, let's just keep him. What can we do?
"Xiping, do you know how old this child is?" Zhou Qinglan asked.
The child seems to be five or six years old, but the child speaks very sensible and does not look like a six-year-old, so Zhou Qinglan asked this.
"He said he was eight years old. You see he is thin and small. I guess it is caused by long-term deprivation of food and malnutrition.
But this kid is very smart and sensible, which is quite rare. "The daughter-in-law asked, and Sheng Xiping quickly answered.
"Hey, he's eight years old. He should be of school age. When school starts in a few days, I'll take him to school and register him for first grade.
No matter where the child is from, he or she must learn to read and write when he or she reaches a certain age, otherwise he or she will become blind in the future. "
Zhou Qinglan is a teacher. Due to occupational diseases, when she heard that she was eight years old, she remembered that her child should go to school.
"Well, that's what I think too, isn't it before I have time to discuss it with you?
Regardless of whether it is our child or a child picked up, he must be allowed to study when he needs to study. This is an important matter. "Sheng Xiping nodded quickly and smiled.
"Okay, don't worry about studying or not. Let's go into the house and talk slowly. How can anyone stand in the yard and chat?"
Sheng Liancheng coughed and called everyone into the room.
Just like that, Zhang Shuzhen hugged Chen Feng and walked into the house one step behind Sheng Liancheng.
Sheng Xiping stepped forward, took Zhou Qinglan's hand, and they entered the house side by side.
