The four of them left the intermediate courtyard together and hurried towards the street office.

"The older brother is five years old and the younger sister is two years old.

My mother died of complications during childbirth of my younger sister. A year later, my father also passed away unexpectedly. I suffered a lot along with my grandparents.

My grandfather passed away at the beginning of the year, and my grandmother passed away two days ago. The neighborhood office took care of all her funeral arrangements.

There are only two children left, you two go and take a look first."

Xiao Jiang introduced the child's situation to the three people along the way.

"Hey, hey."

The old man and the old woman nodded continuously and followed him to the lounge of the street office, where Director Wang was already waiting.

On a small bed, there were two skinny children lying. Although they were washed clean, their clothes were full of patches and were half too small.

It’s a good thing the weather is warm, otherwise it would be so cold.

"Cao'er has a slight fever. She asked the doctor to come and see her. She took some medicine and is sleeping now."

Director Wang explained and patted the older boy gently. The little boy sat up from the bed:

"Grandma Wang."

"Hey, Xiaojun, this is what Grandma Wang told you about. She found a father and a mother for you and Cao'er. Take a look."

Director Wang smiled and pointed at an old man and an old woman.

Xiaojun has become so thin that he almost looks unrecognizable.

When he saw the old man and the old woman with kind faces smiling at him, he immediately knelt on the bed:

“Mom and Dad, I’m Xiaojun, and my sister and I want to be your children.

We are very sensible and capable, and we just need to be fed.”

After saying that, he kowtowed three times to the two of them.

"Hey hey hey, hey hey hey."

The aunt couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears. She hurried over to help Xiaojun up.

"Xiaojun, be good. From now on, you and Cao'er will be our children."

"mom."

Xiaojun cried out with tears in his eyes.

Although he is only five years old, he has suffered a lot and is very sensible.

He knew that with his new parents, he and his sister would no longer have to go hungry.

There is no need to go to an orphanage. We are just afraid that they won’t be wanted now.

"Hey!"

The aunt agreed solemnly, and looking at this well-behaved, sensible, and skinny child, she felt a pain in her heart as if it was being cut by a knife.

"Good boy, you will have a mother's child from now on, and you won't have to suffer anymore."

The aunt had red eyes, wiped her tears, and hugged Xiaojun in her arms.

Xiaojun has a very vague memory of his mother.

Now that I was suddenly held in his arms, I felt that the feeling was exactly the same as when my mother held me.

"Mom, wuwuwu..."

For a moment, everyone in the small lounge began to wipe their tears, and finally woke up the sleeping little girl.

"Pot pot."

The grass made a soft sound, and the sound was like a cat's meow, weak and powerless.

When Xiaojun heard his sister calling him, he immediately broke free from the aunt's arms and went to see his sister.

"Cao'er, you're awake. Come, call mom and dad."

Cao'er's little face was very pale.

Xiaojun pulled her over to stand next to the aunt, and Cao'er called out in a baby voice:

"Mom."

"Hey, hey, good boy, good boy."

The auntie's tears were streaming down her face, and Cao'er looked at the uncle again and called out softly:

"Baba"

"Hey, hey, hey."

It is said that a daughter is a father’s warm and sweet daughter.

The old man couldn't hold back his tears and reached out to hold Cao'er in his arms.

"Very good, Comrade Yi Zhonghai, you two can discuss it. If you are satisfied, go home and look for your household registration book.

I asked the comrades from the subdistrict office to work overtime, and we will complete the formalities today, so there is no need to make another trip."

When Director Wang saw this, he knew that the matter was settled and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"No need to discuss it, these two children will be ours from now on."

Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement, handed Cao'er to the aunt, and hurried home to get his household registration book.

Director Wang was personally overseeing it and everything went smoothly.

When they were settling down, the old man felt that the name Cao'er was too light, so he asked He Yuzhu to give them a new name.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment, looked at the old man and said:

"A few days ago, I saw Xiao'e reading a book at home, muttering:

The body has no colorful phoenix wings and wings, and the heart is a little bit better.

I think we should call him Yi Lingxi?

I hope she will be smart and intelligent when she grows up, devote herself to the great cause of building the motherland, and become a pillar of the country."

This obviously doesn't mean that, but He Yuzhu has no choice.

But in this era, we must always "adapt to local customs".

When the old man and his wife heard this, they immediately nodded in agreement.

There's nothing we can do, the couple are not well educated.

The names of the children around me are also like Jianguo, Weiguo, Hua, Xin, Cao, etc.

The two words "Lingxi" sound different.

Director Wang saw that the two did not understand what he meant, so he smiled and explained:

“I may not have the wings of a phoenix, but our hearts are connected.

Zhuzi hopes that Xiao Lingxi can find a man who loves her well and live a happy life together."

"Hey, hey, hey, that's how it should be. That's how it should be."

The old man was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He didn't expect these two words had such a meaning.

After a busy day, it was completely dark.

After leaving the neighborhood office, an old man and his wife, holding their two children, followed He Yuzhu and walked home together.

"Hey, Lao Yi, I think we should send Lingxi to the hospital first. The child is so young, don't let him get sick."

An old lady holding little Lingxi felt that the child was not even as heavy as a sturdy cat or dog.

He was noisy for a while just now, but now he fell into a deep sleep again, with his cheeks very red. I guess he has a fever again.

"Oh, I was so happy that I forgot about this. Let's go to the hospital first and have Xiaojun checked out."

The old man now realized that the child who was sick before was someone else's child, so he was not worried.

It’s my own son and daughter who are sick now. How can I not worry?

He Yuzhu went to the hospital again. Xiaojun was fine, he was just malnourished and needed to be well nourished.

To put it simply, I'm hungry.

Xiao Lingxi did have a little fever, but it was not a big problem. The doctor prescribed some medicine and he just needed to go home and take it on time.

When the group returned to the yard, it was completely dark.

"Zhu Zi, thank you for this. With these two children, your mother and I will have a complete life."

Standing at the door of the house, the old man thanked him sincerely.

Holding his son in his arms, the old man felt that his heart, which had been empty for so many years, was suddenly filled.

"Uncle, we are all from the same courtyard. It's polite to say thank you. It's late. Go to bed."

When I returned to the room, the lights were still on and Lou Xiao'e was leaning on the kang reading a book.

Seeing He Yuzhu coming back, he put down the book in his hand and tried to get out of the bed.

"Don't move. I'll take a shower and go to bed."

He Yuzhu waved at her, took the enamel basin to the yard to wash up simply, and then went to sleep on the kang.

"how's it going?"

When Lou Xiao'e saw He Yuzhu getting on the kang, she turned off the light.

"It's done. We have two siblings. The older one is called Xiaojun, he is five years old, and the younger one is called Lingxi, he is two years old.

When we met, Lingxi was still sick and had gone to the hospital again. "

He Yuzhu said a few words briefly, and held his sweet and soft wife in his arms:

"Xiao'e, I am really fond of those two children today. Come, let's work hard and try to have a big fat boy next year."

"Brother Zhuzi, you... wuwuwu..."

Lou Xiao'e's voice was soon drowned out by the whimpering sound.

The next morning, He Yuzhu got up quietly.

He took one look at his wife who was sleeping soundly and couldn't help but pinch her chubby little face.

"Hmm~"

Lou Xiao'e snorted lightly, turned around and continued to sleep.

He Yuzhu smiled and didn't tease her. He was really exhausted last night.

I got up and left the bedroom, then started to light the fire and cook.

First, I kneaded the dough, then chopped some meat, carrots, and fungus, mixed them into stuffing, and made wontons to eat.

I have to say that when Lou Xiao'e went to bed last night, she was really tired and hungry.

This morning, I wasn't tired, but I was still hungry.

Smelling the fragrance from the kitchen, I opened my eyes, got up and washed.

He talked to He Yuzhu for a while, and after the chaos was cooked, he went to the backyard to call the deaf old lady.

At this moment, everyone in the yard had gotten up, and the gentlemen had breakfast and were going to work.

I heard what seemed like children talking in the uncle's house, and no one understood what was going on.

It was an old lady who came out and explained a few words to everyone.

After the two children's names were mentioned, smiles appeared on everyone's faces again.

"Oh, it's different being a mother. Look at me, I look a lot younger."

"Hahaha, who said it wasn't?

I felt that the old man had been in high spirits these days, and it turned out that there was such a good thing going on! "

"It's good, it's good. The courtyard is more lively now."
