C12 Abandoned Baby(1)

At the end of June 1999, Jiangnan had already entered the yellow plum rainy season, and the rain was dropping non-stop, which was the hottest and most unbearable sauna of the year.

One morning, the gloomy sky was still covered in fine drizzle. A petite middle-aged woman held an umbrella and held a vegetable basket in her hand as she slowly walked towards the vegetable field by the Great South River.

The wide river water was flowing calmly, slightly rippling.

Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying came from the quiet morning wind. She thought she was hallucinating and stood still to listen carefully. A soft sound came from the river on the west side of the dock. Yes, it was the baby crying.

She followed the sound.

Sure enough, there was a cardboard box in the grass on the shore. Inside was a baby that had just been born a few days ago. The drizzle had soaked the bed sheets on the baby's body. Two red packets had been bitten on his wet little face by mosquitoes. One of his eyes was red and swollen, and his lips were purple. At first glance, he looked like a dying kitten, on the verge of death.

Heavens! Who was so cruel? Poor child! She quickly walked forward and picked up the child to look around in panic. The calm surface of the river was hazy and no boats could be seen. There was no one around either.

She carried the child and quickly ran to the bank of the dam. She shouted loudly, "Is there anyone there? The child is about to die. Quickly come out! Quickly save the child! Save the child!"

Sharp and hurried shouts echoed in the morning wilderness. She looked at the child's chest and found nothing. She shouted again, "Someone is coming! There's a child here who can't take it anymore!"

Her desolate and sorrowful cries echoed in the gloomy and misty fields in the morning.

When people heard this, they came over and surrounded the child.

The young man, Jiang Bin, also hurriedly ran over and pushed aside the crowd. When he saw that the child's life was hanging by a thread, he quickly took off his shirt and wrapped it around the baby's cold body.

The drizzle was still drifting, and people were talking at the same time. Should they send him to an orphanage or to a hospital? He had no idea for a moment.

Jiang Bin became anxious. "Let's discuss it again. The child is almost out of breath. Send him to the hospital. " His tone was firm.

He took the child from the woman's hand and ran towards Xiping Town Hospital. The woman held the umbrella above the child and ran after him.

Jiang Bin ran into the hospital with his bare upper body exposed. He had not reached the emergency room yet. His loud voice kept shouting, "Doctor, doctor, save the child! Save the child!"

The rain mixed with sweat rolled down Jiang Bin's face and onto his shiny shoulder. His wet hair was messy.

The middle-aged woman was also breathing heavily. She was out of breath and looked embarrassed.

The emergency room immediately became busy. Jiang Bin and the woman were anxiously waiting outside.

A young nurse came out of the emergency room. Jiang Bin and the woman went up to greet her. They hurriedly asked, "How's the child?"

The young nurse did not answer directly. She said to them in a reproachful tone, "How did you become parents? Hurry up and go through the hospitalization procedures. "

"Proceed with the hospitalization procedures?" Jiang Bin and the woman almost spoke at the same time. They widened their eyes and looked at each other. At the same time, they shook their heads slightly at the nurse.

"If we don't do it now, the child will be hopeless. Seriously. . . The child was only sent here because of his illness. " The young nurse was not polite at all.

Jiang Bin frowned and used his hand to scratch his wet hair. What should he do? He originally planned to send the child to the orphanage after seeing the doctor. What should he do now?

The child had a fever, and his life was in danger. He had to be hospitalized for treatment.

The woman blinked her beautiful eyes and shook her head slightly, indicating that she had no money on her.

Jiang Bin touched his pocket and hesitated. He thought about it. Since he had met her, saving her was more important. He walked towards the payment window!

Who knew that the child would stay there for more than ten days? The hospital informed Jiang Bin to pay three times. Who would have thought that a child's treatment was much more expensive than an adult's treatment? He had paid more than 10,000 yuan for each fee. This was far beyond his expectations. Every time he paid or did not pay, it would cause him to be in a dilemma.

Every time he had to pay the fee, he would go and see the child first. When he saw that the little fellow was getting better day by day, he felt happy in his heart. He did not hesitate anymore. That feeling was pleasant and wonderful.

During the time the child was hospitalized, the middle-aged woman also went to see him once. She bought some baby supplies and left.

Unknowingly, the child became Jiang Bin's daily concern.

The child could be discharged from the hospital. Jiang Bin was very happy. He had long thought of sending the child to the orphanage. He could be considered to have done a good deed from beginning to end. It was also worthy of this poor child.

He finished the discharge procedures at the Inpatient Department, hummed a pop song, and strode towards the ward.

In his hand was a brown luggage bag. It was the clothes, diapers, milk powder, and half of the white, red, and blue striped bedsheets that he had bought for the child. This was the only thing the child had. Like a treasure, he wrapped several layers of plastic bags and placed them in the middle of the big bag.

Jiang Bin came to the side of the bed and said to the child, "The little fellow is discharged! Uncle will send you home. There are many brothers and sisters there. When you go back, you have to be more obedient!" The child looked at Jiang Bin with his eyes wide open, as if he had understood his words. Unexpectedly, "Ah La, Ah La" started to cry.

This cry made Jiang Bin's heart soften and turn soft. Could it be that he was unwilling to go? Looking at such a weak child. . . He furrowed his thick eyebrows and paced back and forth in the ward.

The child was still crying and he hesitated. He understood that once he softened his heart and carried him home, it would not be a child's play. The child was a human being, a fresh life, and he had to be responsible for it.

The child continued to cry with all his might, as if he was deliberately making things difficult for him. He cried until his face turned completely red. Jiang Bin's mind was in a mess. He continued to walk back and forth in the ward. His originally bright big eyes were now covered with a layer of faint melancholy.

The sound of crying became louder and louder, as if he could not breathe properly. Jiang Bin could not continue listening. A feeling of pity suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart. He made up his mind: Anyway, he only had one daughter. It was good to have another son. Gritting his teeth, he resolutely walked to the side of the small bed and hugged the child in his arms. Carrying his bulging luggage, he walked out of the hospital and headed towards his home.

As he walked, he slowed down. Suddenly carrying a child home, how was he going to explain to his wife, Cao Juan? She had a fiery temper.

He felt a little guilty. On such a hot day, he actually broke out in a cold sweat.

Jiang Bin's family lived in Xiping Town's Small Gang Village. He usually managed a small stone carving factory. Cao Juan managed the nursery and brought her daughter along. When he went to other places to do the greenery project, he threw all of his family members to his wife. Cao Juan was alone at home. She had to manage the stone carving factory, the nursery, and the children. It was really hard on her. However, it was also because of the hard work of the husband and wife. The year before last, the house had already renovated the three-story building. There was also a big yard behind the house, and behind the yard were two attached rooms. The living conditions of their house had already made many neighbors envious.

Jiang Bin slowly carried the child to the door of the house. He did not dare to go in. Along the way, he thought of many reasons. When he really reached the front door, he was still afraid.

He knew his wife's temper the best. How could he pass this trial? He was not completely confident.

Jiang Bin's super milk dad appearance gave the neighbor, fat auntie a scare. She opened her mouth in surprise with her round belly and stammered, "This. . . This. . . Whose child is this? . . . Yours?"

When she saw Jiang Bin's timid and pitiful look, she quickly came to her senses. As if she had discovered a new continent, she could not help but cry out, "Good boy, everyone is giving birth outside!"

The fat auntie's surprised voice quickly attracted the attention of the neighbors. They were all startled by the scene in front of them. Such a romantic and interesting story naturally attracted the attention of the crowd, causing Jiang Bin to be unable to defend himself for a moment.

He was like a drowning dog that everyone wanted to beat, and he fled in panic.

When Cao Juan heard the noise outside, she wanted to see what was going on. She jogged out of the house and almost bumped into her husband who had entered in a hurry. Fortunately, Jiang Bin dodged in time, so he did not hurt the child.

Seeing Jiang Bin like this, Cao Juan was dumbfounded and almost fainted. When she finally reacted, she angrily pointed at the tip of his nose and asked, "Whose child?"

Jiang Bin smiled in embarrassment and slightly bowed. His luggage swayed on his back as he said, "Our son. "

"What is it? Our son? You. . . "Cao Juan was so angry that her face turned red and she could not speak.

Jiang Bin felt so ashamed that he could not show his face. "It's my fault. I didn't discuss it with you before this. I'm sorry. "

"Huh? Sorry? Just apologize? You're always working on projects outside. How did you manage to create a bastard? Ah? What did I do to let you down? You actually want to do this to me?" She cried and shouted as if she had gone mad. She rushed forward and wanted to hit him.

Jiang Bin held the child and dodged everywhere. "Don't hurt the child! Listen to my explanation. "

Cao Juan continued to chase and scold. "Explain? Explain my a * s! Didn't you always complain that I didn't give birth to a son for you? Were you afraid that people would scold you until you had a broken butt? Ah! . . . Ah? You heartless thing, get a bastard back here?"

After chasing Jiang Bin for a few rounds in the house and not hitting him, she stopped. She immediately pounded her chest and stamped her feet in grief as she cried out in tears, "I can't live these days anymore. I don't want to live anymore. " After saying that, she crashed into the wall beside her.

The neighbors who were watching the fun rushed forward and held Cao Juan back with all their might. They advised her to open up a little. If she wanted to die, she might as well stay alive! Her family's conditions were so good, what right did she have to give it to someone else? Wasn't she a fool?

They really couldn't wash themselves clean even if they jumped into the Yellow River. Jiang Bin was so anxious that he roared like a ferocious lion: "I picked it up by the river. "

Jiang Bin's roar was like a bolt out of the blue, stunning everyone. They seemed to believe it, but they didn't. They looked at Jiang Bin and the child in a daze.

Cao Juan instantly stopped crying, but in less than two seconds, She shouted again, "It's such a big matter. If you don't say it, do you think you're picking up a kitten and a puppy? How many times has your own daughter carried her? You carried a living person back. How do you want me to live my life? Aiya! I can't live my life anymore, I can't live my life anymore! " She started to dance and cry again.

The child was so scared that he cried loudly.

Cao Juan finally stopped looking for death under the consolation and persuasion of her neighbors.

It could be imagined how Jiang Bin looked like that day. While he was accompanying Cao Juan, he coaxed the child as he scrambled around like a headless fly. He did not know how he had been living that day either. He had been feeding himself and changing his diapers. He had been clumsy, and not only had he not slept for a few nights, but he had also made a fool of himself.

A storm was raging. After that, Cao Juan finally calmed down. Since it had already become a fact, there was no point in making a fuss anymore. However, the real problem was in front of her. With the current situation at home, she was indeed unable to take care of this child.

Cao Juan was still angry and did not agree to let the child raise at home. This was easy to handle. She first found someone to take care of the child. After a period of time when her anger had dissipated, she would take the child back.

Three days later, Jiang Bin found a wife who was willing to take care of the child in the Wang family.

That afternoon, Jiang Bin hurriedly carried the child to Grandma Wang's house.

My wife, who is almost seventy years old, came out to welcome him. Grandma Wang, who has half a head of white hair, has a kind look on her face.

She has two ordinary houses, and the furnishings in the house are still there more than ten years ago. The only bright thing is the old-fashioned TV with a big back. Although the house is simple and old-fashioned, it is still pretty clean.

Jiang Bin carefully handed the child over to his grandmother and solemnly said to her, "I've entrusted my son to the two of you. "

Grandma Wang received the child with a smile. "Okay! Okay!" She carefully looked at the child. The two loose bags under her eyes also revealed a smile.

Jiang Bin handed a stack of money to Grandma. This was her salary for half a year and the living expenses of the child. If the child needed anything, buy it yourself. If the money was not enough, call him.

Grandma took the money and nodded happily. Then, she asked Jiang Bin, "What's the child's name?"

"Jiang Liang! His nickname is Liang Liang. " It meant that the sun was up and the sun was up. This was the name he gave the child when he registered his family yesterday. It meant that the child's life would become better and better in the future.

"Brilliant, oh! Brilliant. This name is good. " Grandma Wang muttered happily.

Jiang Bin opened his luggage bag and helped his grandfather take out milk bottles, milk powder, and clothes from his bag. As he tidied up, he said, "I'm going to the Northeast tomorrow. I'm in a hurry at the construction site, so I'll leave the child to you. " He said it again, worried.

Grandma Wang held the child and said, "Don't worry, go! The child has the two of us! "

It was also strange that the child did not cry or make a fuss in grandma's arms. The little fellow's eyes were large and round. He opened his eyes and looked at grandma, feeling that this was the person who truly cared for him. It was his real home. His grandmother's heart was melted by this little fellow.

Just like that, Jiang Bin entrusted Liang Liang to Grandma Wang. This entrustment, Liang Liang stayed at Grandma Wang's house for four years.

In these four years, Jiang Bin only brought Liang Liang home for a few days during festivals.

The child gradually grew up. When he saw Jiang Bin, it was as if he had met a stranger. When he saw Mama Cao, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, afraid that he would avoid her in time.

It was not a problem for Liang Liang to be kept outside. However, when he returned, no one brought him along. Liang Liang could not leave his grandmother either. What should he do? Jiang Bin thought about it and decided to arrange for Grandmother Wang and his wife to stay in the room of his stone carving factory. In this way, the child would still be with Grandma Wang every day. As long as he didn't go out on business, he would be able to see the light every day.

A few more years passed. No matter how close Jiang Bin was to his son, the bright light would never kiss him. It would always avoid him. Because of this, Jiang Bin's brain was broken.

Jiang Bin's career was getting bigger and bigger. He had been working on green engineering in other places for a long time. In total, he had only been back for a few months in a year.

The relationship between Jiang Bin and his wife was getting more and more tense. When Liang Liang was six years old, it had reached an irreconcilable stage. Finally, they agreed to divorce. His daughter, San San, was his wife, and Liang Liang was raised by Jiang Bin.
