Chapter 281 Good Man
"Really! Grandpa and grandma are watching Yiyi in heaven! But they can't come back because grandpa and grandma are sick! You have always known that grandpa and grandma go to the doctor and it takes a long time to come back, but Yiyi is so sad.
Grandpa and grandma will be sad too! Does Yiyi want grandpa and grandma to worry about you?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao knew that it was wrong to lie, but Bai Yiyi was only five years old.
No matter how much you say, she won't understand.
Only when Bai Yiyi is older can you explain it clearly.
After hearing this, Bai Yiyi shook her head immediately, "No! I don't want grandpa and grandma to come back. Grandpa and grandma are sick, too sick, grandpa coughs all night long! And pretending that he is fine, I saw grandpa coughing up blood.
Grandma can't get out of bed anymore, I am worried to death, now they can go to the doctor! I am very happy, I don't want grandpa and grandma to come back. They have to see the doctor well, I will wait for them to come back obediently. I will be obedient and will never cause trouble."
Bai Yiyi has a maturity that does not belong to her. This is the choice and concession that adults have.
Attachment and concern for relatives.
Cuifen at the door wiped her tears. Although she had not been with the child for a long time, her words were really touching.
Her parents-in-law did not raise the child in vain. The child was really close to his grandparents.
She came in with a bowl of rice.
"Yiyi, come and eat. Only when you are full can you have the energy to wait for your grandparents to come back. Come, my second aunt made noodles. Come quickly!"
The child will follow them in the future. Cuifen wants to cultivate a harmonious relationship with the child. She can't take the child back and make the house a mess every day.
Bai Yiyi held Jiang Xiaoxiao tightly. Her eyes, expression, and movements seemed to be afraid that Jiang Xiaoxiao would abandon her.
Jiang Xiaoxiao patted her helplessly.
"I won't leave. Eat well. If you don't eat, you won't have the energy to wait for your grandparents to come back. Your second aunt is right."
Bai Yiyi looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao seriously, "What should I call you?"
The child is very smart and remembers what Jiang Xiaoxiao said just now.
"Call me sister."
Bai Yiyi reluctantly let go of her hand. For some reason, she felt particularly close to the sister in front of her.
Second Aunt put the bowl in front of him.
"This is a blood relationship. Look, she listens to you so much when we first meet."
The child was not so close to them.
"Second Aunt, I will call you like this too, but I just want to ask, are you going to take the child back to the countryside? But the child has a city hukou. Are you going to take her back to the countryside like this? It's a pity for the child. She will have to go back to school in the future."
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to let the child go back to the countryside like this.
This has nothing to do with looking down on rural people.
In this era, there is a huge difference between urban and rural hukou.
Even in the future, when taking college entrance exams, the scores of urban hukou and rural hukou are very different.
Taking this child to the countryside will only give the child more people to take care of him. But it is indeed a very bad choice for the child in the future.
Cuifen sighed. They knew that the child had a city hukou now. What would they do if they went back to the village with them? If the child's hukou was not moved back, he would not be considered a villager and would not be able to get land.
They had to feed the child from their own food rations. If they wanted to buy city food for the child with the hukou book, they couldn't go to the city every month.
Even if city residents had hukou books and could buy food, the problem was that they had no money or food coupons.
"We also knew that it would be unfair to take the child back. But there was really no other way. You can see the current situation of the family. The old man had passed away, and his father had disappeared long ago. We couldn't find him no matter what.
His mother was in such a situation. We couldn't just leave such a young child alone in the county town.
We could only wait for two years. If her mother came out and made plans, maybe the child could go back to the county town to go to school. Now we can only take the child back to give him food. We can't do anything else."
Jiang Xiaoxiao could see that the couple were honest people.
He really treated her as a relative, so he said such honest words.
His heart moved. Bai Yiyi is not yet of school age.
This child must be settled now, once she really follows her second uncle and aunt.
Who knows, she might be abducted by human traffickers on the road like in her previous life. As far as she knows, Bai Yiyi later found her mother, but her mother died of illness in prison before she could be released. In fact, this child will be helpless in the future.
Even if she didn't encounter human traffickers, she might follow her second uncle and aunt to the countryside in the future.
It is also difficult to want to study. There are four children in the second uncle and aunt's family. Even if they really want to do their best, they don't have the ability.
"Aunt, I want to discuss something with you. Otherwise, you can call my second uncle back. Let's sit down and talk about the child's future. After all, I am also a relative of the child. Our family is in Beijing North, and I want to take Bai Yiyi back to raise her."
Jiang Xiaoxiao's plan is very shocking.
Cuifen and Bai Yiyi both raised their heads and looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Cuifen was very surprised. The girl in front of her must be a kind-hearted person, but one should not show kindness carelessly. After all, this relative of yours is a far cry from yours.
Ordinary people would definitely avoid such things if they could, but they were the second uncle and second aunt, and they really couldn't avoid it. They couldn't just watch their niece wandering on the streets.
But this girl rushed forward by herself, which can only be said that this girl is too kind-hearted, and she didn't even go back to discuss it with her parents.
If her parents knew that their daughter was so impulsive and made this decision, they would probably beat her to death.
Even if this child is kind-hearted, they can't do such a thing. If her parents heard about it, they would think that they were cruel and heartless people.
This girl's life experience is so pitiful, and they, as direct relatives, don't help raise the child, but actually throw it to others. This logic doesn't make sense anywhere.
Bai Yiyi's eyes were sparkling. She liked this sister, and this sister was her mother's relative, so the two of them were sisters.
If she could be with this sister, she would be willing.
"I'm not being polite by calling you by your name, Xiaoxiao. This matter can be big or small. Logically speaking, we are now the only relatives of this child. Raising a child is not like raising a cat or a dog. You just need to feed him. This is a child, a person.
You are young and ignorant. It is too hasty for you to make such a decision without discussing this matter with your parents."
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Aunt, I understand what you said. In fact, my parents told me before they came that if they saw the child and found that the child was not doing well, they would take the child to us to raise. But I never expected that the child's grandparents would pass away.
In this situation, we are in the city after all. The child lives with us, and it will be more convenient for him to go to school in the city in the future.
The worst case scenario is to transfer the household registration from here to our Jingbei. It is easier to transfer the urban household registration to the urban household registration. In the future, we will definitely let the child go to school, so I dare to say this."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was really grateful to Cuifen in front of him. At least she had good intentions and did not shirk responsibility.
It's not because the family is in financial difficulty that they just throw the child out like a rag.
From this point of view, the second uncle and second aunt are good people.
