Chapter 52 Xia Qing's Love

It didn't take long to take photos and conduct investigations. With Dubin's mediation, Lin Guzhi only took Xiaoxi to the welfare home to get these things done.

After taking photos of Xiaoxi, Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi were both questioned and investigated. All they needed to do was done.

When asked about the content of the investigation, Dubin had already communicated with Lin Guzhi and asked him to just say that he picked up Xiaoxi and sent her to the orphanage. As for where Xiaoxi came from, there was no need to explain it specifically.

The same applies to Xiaoxi's inquiry.

If the identity of a child still cannot be ascertained after investigation, the child can be adopted by an orphanage through DNA database comparison and newspaper announcement, and it is confirmed that the child has no relatives to adopt him/her. His/her household registration can also be placed in the collective household of the orphanage.

(Author's note: The above details are purely made up by the author. Please don't study them too closely.)
So Lin Guzhi took Xiaoxi to the welfare home and completed all the procedures in just half a day.

After taking photos and answering questions, Xiaoxi also had some blood drawn.

This will be used for DNA comparison to see if Xiaoxi's relatives can be identified through DNA comparison.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoxi. We pierce the ears, not the fingers. It doesn't hurt to pierce the ears."

The person in charge of stabbing people was worried that Xiaoxi would be afraid to resist, so he tried to comfort Xiaoxi.

However, when the man took the needle and pricked Xiaoxi's ear, Xiaoxi sat there obediently, allowing the man to prick her ear and draw blood, without moving. Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but admire: "This child is really sensible."

Some people also say that Xiaoxi is brave.

But Xiaoxi is not proud of this. In her opinion, this is just a common thing.

After doing all this, Lin Guzhi took Xiaoxi back home.

The staff of the welfare home asked Lin Guzhi to wait patiently, saying that it would take some time to compare DNA, publicize the missing persons information, and approve the relevant procedures.

When everything is done, they will contact Lin Guzhi again and ask him to bring Xiaoxi over. Then they can give Xiaoxi a comprehensive physical examination.

He brought Xiaoxi back home and saw Xia Qing sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for them.

"You're back so soon? Have you finished your work?"

Xia Qing asked expectantly.

Lin Guzhi saw what this woman was thinking and said, "It's done. If you want to go to Jin Province with us, pack up quickly and we'll leave tomorrow."

"I knew you would be done soon. You talked to me like that yesterday, and I thought it would take you several days to finish all this..."

Xia Qing said, trying hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that were about to curl up.

Xiaoxi asked: "Sister, why are you trying to hold back your laughter?"

Xia Qing: "..."

She really didn't smile now.

Forget it, I won’t bother with a kid!
"There's no time to lose, shall we go now?"

She asked, standing up from the sofa.

Lin Guzhi shook his head and said, "Let's go tomorrow. Haicheng is quite far from Jin Province. If we leave now, we may have to travel at night. And I see bloodshot in your eyes. Did you not sleep well last night? Have a good rest tonight and stay alert. We will have to rely on you to drive tomorrow."

Xia Qing muttered in her heart: I can't sleep well if you play tricks on me like a clown every day!

But she didn't say this out loud, as it would be too embarrassing, as if she had admitted that she was a clown.

"Okay, tomorrow is tomorrow. I'm ready to prepare."

She said this and returned to her bedroom. She packed her clothes, toiletries, and a water cup and stuffed them into her schoolbag, but it still felt like it wasn't enough.

It would be nice if she had a suitcase, she thought. But the suitcase was at Sister Yang's place, and if she took the suitcase over, it would definitely arouse Sister Yang's suspicion.

After thinking for a long time about what she was still missing, she finally opened the door and said to Lin Guzhi, "Uncle, why don't you go out and buy some snacks? We can eat them on the way."

It was inconvenient for her to go out to the convenience store, so she had to entrust Lin Guzhi. As for the previous unpleasantness, it had disappeared when Lin Guzhi agreed to go to Jin Province with her.

Miss Xia Qing has never been a stingy person, and her temper comes and goes quickly.

Lin Guzhi nodded and said, "You have thought it through very carefully. I'll go now." The journey was long, so it was necessary to prepare some food to eat on the way.

However, after being praised by Lin Guzhi, Xia Qing felt a little embarrassed. She smiled shyly and said, "Hey, no, I just thought of it suddenly because I love snacks."

Lin Guzhi nodded again and said, "It's a good thing to love eating."

Xia Qing's smile faded slightly, and she glanced at Lin Guzhi, not sure whether Lin Guzhi was praising her.

Then Xiaoxi actually nodded and said, "Yeah, sister likes to eat well."

Xia Qing: "..."

Afterwards, Lin Guzhi took Xiaoxi out and bought some snacks at the convenience store at the door.

He prepared some bread, milk, mineral water, etc. for himself and Xiaoxi, and potato chips, cola, and spicy strips for Xia Qing. Based on his observation of Xia Qing over the past ten days, he was sure that Xia Qing loved to eat these things.

Sure enough, after he brought two large bags of snacks home, Xia Qing's eyes lit up when he saw the potato chips, cola and spicy strips.

"Ah, these are all my favorites! I haven't eaten these for a long time - except for Coke. I was able to drink Coke before because you bought it for me, uncle!"

Xia Qingqing counted the snacks in the plastic bag, extremely happy, "You even bought spicy noodles! Uncle, I love you so much!"

These things were forbidden to her by Sister Yang. She had deliberately not mentioned them to Lin Guzhi before, thinking that if something was bad for her throat and body, she would not eat it. Since Sister Yang was not around, it was right for her to restrain herself.

But she didn't expect that Lin Guzhi would buy it for her without her asking. This surprised her greatly, and she gladly accepted it.

Anyway, I didn't ask the uncle to buy it, he bought it himself, it's not that I don't control myself! Besides, it's okay to eat some junk food occasionally, I can make up for it by exercising more.

She thought so in her heart, picked up a bag of spicy strips, and couldn't wait to open it and eat it.

But her mouth was immediately covered by Xiaoxi.

"Sister, you can't say that. It's not right."

Xiaoxi said to Xia Qing very seriously.

Thinking of what she had just said, Xia Qing's face turned red.

Lin Guzhi said: "Xiao Xi means that you can't say the word death. It's wrong to say the word death."

Xia Qing felt her face getting even hotter, as if there was fire running everywhere.

This stinky uncle always talks like this. Do you really like seeing people embarrassed?!
"No, no, no, you don't need to explain. I, I, I know it myself!"

She said stubbornly.

Xiao Xi stared at Xia Qing's rosy face and suddenly said, "Sister, you stuttered again."

Xia Qing: "..."
