Chapter 84 Adopting Xiaoxi
There was no need to rush to go through the adoption procedures, as they could just do it today. So they didn't need to rush out, they could just wait at home until the groom came back to pick up the bride.
Xia Qing went to prepare breakfast. After breakfast, Xiaoxi leaned against the window and looked down, patiently waiting for the arrival of the wedding procession.
The convoy arrived more than two hours later, and she waited there for more than two hours without making any noise or noise.
This made Xia Qing couldn't help but admire her, and she said to Lin Guzhi: "Uncle, this girl is really patient."
"Ah."
Lin Guzhi nodded.
Xia Qing added: "She will definitely be a good student in the future, she is so patient and focused."
Lin Guzhi thought for a moment and said, "I hope so. But it doesn't matter if you don't study well. Our requirements are very low. Just be happy."
Compared to life in another world, their current life can be said to be very good.
Of course, this doesn't mean he doesn't yearn for a better life, but he won't force things that can't be forced.
If necessary, he would also find ways to provide him and Xiaoxi with a richer life through other means.
However, Xia Qing was very dissatisfied with Lin Guzhi's words. She glanced at Lin Guzhi and said, "What hope? Anyway, I think Xiaoxi is great and will definitely do well in her studies!"
"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"
"Crackling——"
Before the convoy arrived, the sounds of gongs, drums and firecrackers had already entered the community.
"Here we go! Xiaoxi, hurry up, let's go!"
Xia Qing put the mask on her ears and said to Lin Guzhi, "Uncle, please put Xiaoxi's shoes on. I'll take her downstairs."
Lin Guzhi changed Xiaoxi's shoes. Xia Qing had already hurriedly put on her equipment. She took Xiaoxi's hand and went out the door, pressing the elevator to go downstairs.
Lin Guzhi was in no hurry to catch up. He packed up much faster than Xia Qing. If he was in a hurry to go out, he would have taken Xiaoxi out long ago. But he wanted to see Xiaoxi's reaction now.
Before, Xiaoxi agreed to stay at home with Xia Qing after she was assured that she would come back. Now if she didn't say anything, would she still feel at ease to follow Xia Qing downstairs?
Now it seems that the situation is satisfactory.
Lin Guzhi listened carefully, and only felt relieved after he was sure that Xiaoxi was not making a noise in the elevator.
He left the door open and walked to the window to look out.
Xia Qing and Xiao Xi came downstairs not long after. Xia Qing looked even more excited than Xiao Xi, and rushed to the roadside with Xiao Xi. However, the woman was still taking care of Xiao Xi, so she didn't run too fast.
"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"
"Crackling——"
The wedding procession came in with gongs, drums and firecrackers.
Lin Guzhi was watching from upstairs. He saw Xia Qing pick up Xiaoxi and point her finger in a direction. The bright light from the firecrackers made Xiaoxi tilt her neck back unconsciously, but she quickly adjusted and watched carefully.
Then there was a double cannon, which scared Xiaoxi again. But after getting used to it, Xiaoxi watched it very attentively, following the double cannon, watching the first one on the ground and the second one in the sky.
The groom carried the bride out of the car. The lively wedding team surrounded the bride and groom and unscrewed the ribbon tubes one by one. The colorful ribbons exploded everywhere and hung above people's heads.
Xia Qing seemed to be a party-goer, not afraid of exposing her identity, and carried Xiaoxi over to join in the fun, with many shiny ribbons hanging above their heads. But after the groom carried the bride into the apartment door, Xia Qing couldn't follow him in.
Seeing that it was almost done, Lin Guzhi took the documents needed to adopt Xiaoxi and went downstairs.
He waved to Xia Qing and Xiaoxi from a distance, and Xia Qing immediately walked over quickly holding Xiaoxi.
After she got closer, she put Xiaoxi down and said, "Oh, I'm so tired! Xiaoxi must have gained a lot of weight in the past month!"
Lin Guzhi took off all the ribbons on Xiaoxi's head and said, "Then you were holding Xiaoxi and running hard just now."
Xia Qing smiled and said, "I just want to bring Xiaoxi to have some fun and share in the good fortune. Look how happy Xiaoxi is. Isn't that right, Xiaoxi?" While she spoke, she also patted herself and her head to shake off the ribbons that had fallen on her.
"Ah."
Xiaoxi nodded.
Xia Qing seemed to have won some victory, and said to Lin Guzhi triumphantly: "Uncle, look, right?"
Lin Guzhi said: "I think you just want to have some fun yourself."
Xia Qing smiled awkwardly again, as if he had been figured out by you, and did not refute.
Fortunately, Lin Guzhi did not continue to laugh at her. He just raised his hand and let her see the bag containing the marriage certificate, medical examination certificate, income certificate and other things, and said, "Let's go. I brought all the documents down. Let's go directly to the welfare home."
"Oh."
Xia Qing agreed.
The three of them went to the car together and drove off to the welfare home.
After arriving at the welfare home, there was nothing much to say. Just fill out forms, make records, check procedures, and leave everything else to the person Du Bin contacted at the welfare home. The only thing Lin Guzhi needed to do was to go to the police station with the people at the welfare home in the afternoon to transfer Xiaoxi's household registration.
——This was also very quick. With the cooperation of the welfare home, the relocation permit and other things were already prepared in advance.
Xia Qing and Xiaoxi waited until the evening, and finally got the result. All the formalities had been completed, and they also received the official adoption documents. Xiaoxi's household registration was transferred from the collective household of the welfare home to Lin Guzhi's household registration.
However, Xiaoxi's household registration still needs to be transferred to Lin Guzhi's place of household registration. Lin Guzhi entrusted his uncle Lin Anquan in advance, and Lin Anquan quickly went to the police station to handle the matter.
He is the village party secretary and often deals with the police station in his hometown. He is very familiar with the channels and procedures, so this matter went so smoothly.
By now, Xiaoxi's household registration problem has finally been completely solved.
Lin Guzhi and Xia Qing thanked the people at the welfare home very solemnly before leaving.
Although Xiaoxi was still a child, she seemed to be very sensitive to this matter. After she sat in the car, she opened the tattered household registration booklet that Lin Guzhi brought from his hometown with her little hands, carefully, as if she was looking at a very important treasure.
Xia Qing, who was driving in the front seat, glanced at Xiaoxi in the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "Xiaoxi, do you like reading books? How about I buy you a few books?"
Xiaoxi didn't say anything, Lin Guzhi said: "Let's go home first. I can buy her the book later."
Xia Qing suddenly said, "No! Uncle, I want to buy a book for Xiaoxi. This is my gift to her. What do you care? And you haven't bought the fireworks yet. Let's buy them now and set off fireworks to celebrate in the evening."
