Chapter 178 Adoption

A middle-aged doctor came over, listened to the woman's heartbeat with a stethoscope, then rolled his eyelids, and left in a hurry, saying "no hope".

Xu Dong wanted to chase him and ask him in detail, but looking at the patients in the hospital, he finally gave up.

Besides, medical resources are in short supply at the moment, and even if the patient can be saved, it is not something that a community hospital can do.

"Squad leader, what should we do next?" Meng Lan showed reluctance in her eyes.

Xu Dong tried the woman's breathing, which was already barely audible, so he could only sigh and say, "Take her back and let Lao Wang deal with her. I'll go see how the little girl is doing."

After sending Meng Lan and her group away, Xu Dong asked around a bit and found the little girl's bed on the second floor.

After the doctor finished examining the patient, he immediately stepped forward and asked:

"Doctor, how is the child?"

"Severe malnutrition, how can you adults be so cruel?"

The female doctor's eyes were a little unfriendly. If Xu Dong hadn't been wearing a police uniform, she would probably have taken action.

Xu Dong quickly explained: "Doctor, you misunderstood. I am not the child's father. This child is from the Southern Dynasty and is an illegal immigrant."

"No wonder." The female doctor's attitude became much better. "Then how do you deal with this child? In her current situation, she must rest and can't travel long distances anymore."

Xu Dong smiled bitterly and said: "I can't make the decision on this. I need to ask our director."

"Okay, let's put the child here first. She should be able to be discharged in three days."

"Thank you, doctor."

The female doctor waved her hand: "Don't thank me. If conditions permit, it's best to give the child some nutritional supplements so that he can recover faster."

"Yes, I'll think of a way later."

He greeted the nurse and asked her to help take care of the little girl.

After leaving the hospital, Xu Dong immediately rode on an electric bike.

Half an hour later, he finally found Director Ji. He didn't know what mission he was on, but he actually ran to the Citizen Fitness Center.

In front of the gate of the fitness center, Xu Dong briefly explained the matter.

"Director, what should we do with this little girl?"

Director Ji said without thinking:

"Go back and ask Aunt Zhang if they are willing to adopt this little girl. If they are willing to adopt, I will handle the procedures for them when I come back."

"What if Aunt Zhang doesn't want to?"

"Then stay in the hospital for a few more days, you are responsible for the food, I will reimburse you when you come back, and after the big investigation is over, we will hand it over to the General Administration together."

After talking about the little girl, Xu Dong looked at the heavily guarded fitness center and asked tentatively:

"Director, what is this place for, why are there so many vehicles coming in and out?"

"Why, do you want me to take you in to see?"

"Can I go in?" Xu Dong was full of surprise.

Director Ji said unhappily: "Put away your curiosity. This is a military stronghold. Not everyone can enter."

Xu Dong got himself into trouble and turned around and rode away on his electric bike.

...

Back to the community, it was lunch time. Grandpa Zhang was there too. Xu Dong pulled the old couple to talk about the matter.

"Xiao Xu, how old is the child?" Aunt Zhang looked expectant.

"About five or six years old. The child is not disabled and looks very cute."

Maybe because he loves his wife, this "house" refers to his two daughters. Xu Dong hopes that the child will have a good ending in the end.

Grandpa Wang asked: "Can the child speak Daxia language?"

"I don't know, but I think they should be able to speak a little. Looking at their situation, they have been here for at least one or two years."

"The child is so pitiful. He lost his mother at such a young age. Old man, I want to adopt this child. What do you think?" Aunt Zhang rubbed her red eyes and said.

Grandpa Zhang smoked a cigarette without saying a word.

"Old man, please give me some advice, please?" Aunt Zhang urged.

"We are both almost sixty years old. Have you ever thought about what will happen to the child if we leave too early? We can't harm the child."

Xu Dong helped persuade him, "Uncle, you are overthinking. If you don't adopt the child, she will be sent back.

You know what the situation is in the South Dynasty. The child is so young. Going back now is almost the same as sending her to death."

"Xiao Xu is right." Aunt Zhang quickly agreed.

Grandpa Zhang flicked the ash from his cigarette:

"Old lady, if you really want to adopt, then do as you wish. We don't need food at home."

When Aunt Zhang saw that her husband agreed, she immediately grabbed Xu Dong and asked, "Xiao Xu, when will you take us to see the child?"

"Aunt, the child is malnourished now. You can cook some vegetable soup and add more shrimps. I will take you to the hospital later."

"Okay, Aunt will make soup now."

Aunt Zhang entered the kitchen excitedly. Xu Dong looked at Grandpa Zhang with a helpless look on his face and couldn't help asking:

"Grandpa, I don't think you are willing to adopt a child?"

"Alas!" Grandpa sighed, "You don't understand. The child who was raised with great difficulty is gone just like that. This kind of pain is too painful.

Grandpa would rather die alone than go through this kind of pain again. Your aunt is right. I am too selfish."

This reminded Xu Dong of his past life. He immediately understood Uncle Zhang's idea, which was also the main reason why he subconsciously rejected godparenting in this life.

"Uncle, if you really don't want to, I can help you talk to Aunt."

Uncle Zhang waved his hand:

"Your Aunt has suffered with me all her life. Let her be happy once when she is old. Maybe your Aunt's choice is correct.

Speaking of which, since you moved into our house, your Aunt has never stopped smiling. Maybe it's time to add someone to the family."

"Uncle, don't worry, this child is also my share. I will not let her go hungry if I have a bite to eat." Xu Dong promised immediately.

Uncle Zhang smiled with relief.

He couldn't help but think of his son who had passed away for many years. If his son hadn't passed away, he would be almost as old as the person in front of him.

After lunch, Xu Dong brought Aunt Zhang and her husband to the community hospital. The little girl had woken up and was crying for her mother. No matter how the female nurse coaxed her, it was useless.

"Officer Xu, you are here. I leave this to you."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Xu Dong hurriedly thanked her.

After the nurse left, Aunt Zhang came forward and hugged the little girl into her arms. She coaxed her with a few words and actually coaxed her.

Maybe this is fate!

After coaxing the little girl, Aunt Zhang took out the stewed vegetable soup. The little girl smelled the fragrance of the food and her eyes widened.

Aunt Zhang didn't mind the trouble. She held the little girl on her lap and fed her mouthful by mouthful, with a smile on her face.
