Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1058 Goddaughter

Xiaowei's dad asked Xiaowei, "Where's the car?"

Xiao Wei said, "I'll be there soon. Have you packed your things?"

Liu Liu's dad said, "It's nothing, just some clothes and stuff, we didn't bring anything else."

Actually, there were quite a few things—a travel bag and a cloth bag—but people in this era usually measured things by weight, not quantity, so it wasn't really that heavy.

Liu Liu walked in with the doctor, who said, "Are you all ready? There's nothing we can do at this small county hospital. It's good to go to the provincial capital for a checkup. Your son has really made something of himself. The old lady can enjoy her retirement now. It shouldn't be anything serious."

At this time, the doctors hadn't yet distanced themselves from the patients with a long face; on the contrary, they got along quite well with them, especially in hospitals in small towns. They were usually talkative, and patients would readily come to them if they needed anything.

"Oh, Xiao Wang, are you a police officer?" The doctor saw Wang Guifang standing by the bed, half-holding the baby. "I haven't seen you at work much; I thought you were unemployed."

Wang Guifang smiled and said, "I was transferred recently and took a long leave. Now my leave is over."

This is what Xiaowei taught her to say; otherwise, if it's too sudden, some people will have certain thoughts. Although she's not afraid, it's not a pleasant thing to say.

The doctor asked, "Which police station are you at?"

Xiao Hong said, "My sister works at the county bureau; she's the deputy head of the household registration section."

The doctor paused for a moment, then said, "This is ridiculous! Why didn't you say so sooner? Oh dear, this woman is terrible at handling things. Wait for me to arrange things for you. This is ridiculous!" He then turned and left.

Xiao Wei's dad said, "Alright, the old lady is starting to enjoy life. We've moved you to a new ward, one with a cot for the accompanying person, it's bigger than this one, and there's even a TV in it."

Xiao Hong said, "The hospital medication costs will be transferred to the county bureau, and Sister Wang, the money you paid before will be refunded to you. Also, you need to take some time to go home and pack your things; the bureau will definitely need to allocate you housing, so don't be caught off guard."

The old lady patted her granddaughter's back: "Oh my, it feels like a dream. Come here, baby, kowtow to your uncle and aunt on your mother's behalf."

The little girl didn't understand what was going on, but obediently rolled over, got up, and knelt on the bed. Xiao Hong reached out to press her down: "No. Please don't. We don't do this. I just love this little darling. It's fate that we met. Don't do this."

Wang Guifang said, "Let her kowtow a few times for me. I don't know how to thank you enough. I'm afraid I can't repay you in this life, maybe in the next."

Xiao Wei said, "Let's not talk about things that far ahead. Let's just live this life well and let the little girl grow up properly. Can we not worry about these things?"

Xiaowei's dad said, "We're all from the same village, it's just a small favor, no need to make such a big deal out of it. When will Xiaowei's car arrive? Why don't you urge him?"

Xiao Wei checked the time and said, "No need to rush, I'll be there soon. Sister Wang, this is my dad."

Wang Guifang paused for a moment, then bowed to Xiaowei's father: "Uncle."

Xiaowei's father waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. Just live your life well, let the elders enjoy their retirement, and let the child grow up healthy. Everyone goes through some things in life, it'll pass. This little girl is so adorable, you'll be blessed in the future."

Wang Guifang said to the little girl, "Sweetie, say hello to Grandpa. Say hello to Grandpa."

The little girl blinked her bright black eyes and looked at Xiaowei's dad: "Grandpa? Hello, Grandpa." She turned to her maternal grandmother and asked, "Grandma, I have a grandpa now?"

The old lady's eyes reddened, and she reached out to hug the little girl.

Xiao Wei's dad looked a little sad and said, "I've got it. From now on, I'll be your grandpa, and he... he'll be your dad..."

Xiao Wei turned his head in horror to look at his father's hand pointing at him: "Dad, what are you saying?"

Xiao Hong laughed heartily, and everyone in the room joined in. Liu Liu's mother said, "Why don't we become godparents? We've already said it. This girl is indeed quite popular."

Xiao Hong said, "Yes, yes, I want to be your godmother. Come here, little baby, kowtow to me, and I'll be your mom from now on."

The little girl, nestled in her grandmother's arms, was completely bewildered. She looked at Xiaohong and then at Wang Guifang, and weakly said, "I have a mother."

Wang Guifang said, "Baby, kowtow and call me Mom."

The little girl turned around and hugged her grandmother, bursting into tears: "I have a mother, don't sell me, I'm worthless. I'm worthless!"

Wang Guifang wiped away her tears, went over, picked up the little girl, wiped her face, and said, "I won't sell you. Mom wants to ask you, is Auntie alright?"

The little girl glanced at Xiao Hong with teary eyes and nodded. She remembered that Xiao Hong had given her two big oranges when she came in yesterday.

Wang Guifang pointed to Xiaowei's father: "How about Grandpa?"

The little girl nodded again, "Mmm." She turned her head and glanced at the big apple on the bed, which Xiaowei's father had just given her.

Then the little leader suddenly widened his eyes, as if he had figured something out, and hugged Wang Guifang's neck tightly, saying, "Baby, I don't want it anymore, I don't want to eat fruit anymore. Be a good baby."

Wang Guifang held the little girl, not knowing what to say, and tears streamed down her face again.

Liu Liu's mom said, "Little baby, we're not taking you away. If you kowtow, you'll have two moms, a dad, and a grandpa. You can eat as much fruit as you want, and there's even candy."

Wang Guifang said, "Yes, yes, two mothers. Your mother is still your mother, but you have another mother who loves you. Do you want that?"

Xiao Wei's mother and Aunt Wang led Zhang Bing, who looked utterly dejected, in: "What's going on here?"

Liu Liu's mother said, "Xiao Hong really likes this girl and wants to adopt her as her goddaughter."

The little girl asked Wang Guifang, "Then, will you carry me away?"

Wang Guifang smiled, wiped her face, and said, "No hugging. Baby will always be with Mommy and Grandma."

The little girl asked, "So I have two moms? And a dad and a grandpa too?"

Xiao Hong reached out and wiped away her tears, saying, "There are two maternal grandmas, a paternal grandma, and an uncle. And a big car."

The little girl looked at Xiaohong, hesitated, and nodded: "Okay, okay. Mom, I want to have Grandpa and Grandma too."

Xiao Wei's mother's eyes also reddened as she looked at the little girl: "Oh my, this girl is so sweet. So sweet."

Wang Guifang wiped her face and said, "Yes, you'll have them all from now on. Aren't you happy, baby?"

The little girl nodded: "Happy."

Wang Guifang put the little girl on the bed and said, "Come on, kowtow to your godmother."

The little girl looked at her maternal grandmother, then at Xiaowei's father who was smiling at her, and bent down to kowtow.

Xiao Hong squatted down in front of the little girl and said, "Call her. Call her Mom."

The little girl knelt there looking at Xiao Hong, and whispered in a barely audible voice, "...Mom."

Xiao Hong laughed heartily: "I have a daughter now!" She picked up the little girl, pointed at Xiao Wei, and said, "Call me Dad."
