Chapter 82 The Child's Mind

Guo Zisu was very sad and troubled.

Back from the studio last night, minced meat didn't talk much all the way. When he got home, he washed his face and brushed his teeth in silence, and went to bed.

Early this morning, he got up early again, washed his face and brushed his teeth quickly.

Guo Zisu was still making the bed. He walked in, stood behind her, and said softly, "Mr. Guo, can I go buy breakfast?"

Guo Zisu stopped what she was doing, turned around, and looked at him strangely. She usually went to buy breakfast by herself and came back, so he was waiting at home.What happened today?It suddenly occurred to her that the child wanted to run away when he heard that he was going to be sent to someone else's house.

She felt a little scared in her heart, and said softly: "If you are hungry, go get some snacks to eat, and I will buy them right away."

Min Rou said: "I'm not hungry, I want to help you buy breakfast."

Guo Zisu looked at his big innocent bright eyes, smiled, took out ten yuan, and said, "Well, okay, you go and buy something you like and come back early, I will fry an egg for you at home and heat up the milk." .You have to come back quickly."

Min Rou took the money and ran away quickly.

Guo Zisu was worried that he would run away, so she followed him quietly.

Min Rou stood in front of the breakfast stand, took out money, bought three fried dough sticks, and a cup of soy milk, stuffed the change back into his pocket, and ran back happily.

Guo Zisu hurried back home and got busy in the kitchen.

Minced Meat came in with a bang, ran into the kitchen and said, "Ms. Guo, I bought it."

Guo Zisu smiled at him and asked, "Why do you buy what I like? What do you eat?"

Min Rou took out a plate, put fried dough sticks on it, and said, "I just bought it for you. You make food for me every day, and I want to buy food for you."

Guo Zisu felt a burst of warmth in her heart, and said happily: "Why did you grow up overnight, did you think of this?"

Minrou glanced at her, and a look of sadness flashed across his eyes, which was fleeting.

Guo Zisu's heart trembled. The sensible child must have realized that he was going to be sent away. Although he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do about it, because his father told Mr. Guo to find a home for him to adopt before he died.These days, he has heard and witnessed many people and things, and he can feel the helplessness of Teacher Guo in his young heart.Maybe, he wanted to do something for Mr. Guo before leaving, maybe, he wanted to let Mr. Guo think him good, so let him stay.

Since the last time I talked to Liang Shi on the phone, I haven't heard back from him. It seems that his proposal has not been approved by Xiaomi, and she is not good to ask, lest he be embarrassed.She stayed in front of the stove, looking at the gray sky outside, feeling sad for a while.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Zhang called to ask Guo Zisu how he was thinking and whether he had discussed with the child. The Zhao family had already called back and said that they could respect Guo Zisu's opinion. As long as the child did not leave by himself, they were willing to adopt him.

Guo Zisu said embarrassingly: "I haven't told the child yet, I don't know how to say it." She was about to shed tears as she spoke.

Mrs. Zhang was silent for a while, and said: "Mr. Guo, how about I take Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao to sit with you at night, and let them exchange feelings with minced meat again, maybe things will come to fruition."

Guo Zisu agreed.

After hanging up the phone, she couldn't help but walked to the minced meat classroom and looked inside from a distance.The classroom was full of students, and Min Rou was an auditor, so although he was not the tallest in the class, he was arranged to sit in a seat on the side of the last row.

Guo Zisu thought that if the child was given to the Zhao family, he would become a formal student of this school next semester and enjoy the same treatment as other students.If he can continue to study painting, Mrs. Zhang will definitely take care of him.This is a great thing for him.She couldn't help but strengthen her determination to send the minced meat to the Zhao family for upbringing.

Shortly after dinner, Guo Zisu was helping the minced meat with homework, and Mrs. Zhang and the Zhao family came together.

Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao brought a lot of snacks that children like. As soon as Mrs. Zhang entered the door, she raised the shopping bag in her hand and shouted to the children: "Minced meat, look, these two uncles and aunts bought you a lot of good things." Eat, come quickly."

Min Rou raised his head and called them, but sat there without moving, looking at them warily.

Guo Zisu took out the tea set and started making tea.

Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao walked to the minced meat, looked at the homework he was doing, and exchanged satisfied eyes.

Several adults drank tea and chatted for a while. Mrs. Zhang pulled the minced meat that was eating snacks, and asked gently: "Minced meat, do you like this?"

Min Rou happily said, "I like it."

Mrs. Zhang smiled, pointed at Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao and said, "You go to their house with your uncle and aunt, and they buy you something you like every day, okay?"

Min Rou immediately stopped eating, and looked at each of them with round eyes, his eyes finally resting on Guo Zisu's face.

Guo Zisu pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Minced meat, they can give you a city hukou, and you can go to school here like other students in the future, and you can also continue to learn painting."

Nei Momo said softly, "I'm also going to school here now, and I'm also learning painting."

Guo Zisu said: "But now you are just an auditor, and Mr. Guo may not be teaching here next time."

Min Rou put down the snacks in his hands, looked at her nervously, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I want to go back to Ningcheng. I'm from Ningcheng, so I have to go back to work there, and I don't know what job I will do in the future, so..." Guo Zisu said softly.

Before she could finish speaking, Min Rou began to wipe away tears, grinned and sniffed, but didn't let himself cry out. As soon as he turned around, he ran into the room and began to cry.

Several adults looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Guo Zisu refilled their tea, got up and walked into the room, patted the minced meat, and said softly: "Minced meat, don't cry, Teacher Guo can't help it, I don't know what my situation will be like in the future, I'm afraid I will kill you if I keep you by my side. There is no guarantee that you will go to school, and there is no guarantee that you can continue to learn painting." She said, and also cried.

Mrs. Zhang and Zhao's couple also came in, and they couldn't help but feel sad when they saw the elder and younger cuddling together and crying.

Mr. Zhao bent down and said to Minced Meat: "My child, you follow us and take my surname. I will treat you like your own son. We will make you live well."

Minrou looked at him, and said with tears in his eyes: "But you are here, Teacher Guo has returned to Ningcheng, so I can't see her anymore."

"I will come to see you. You can also visit me in Ningcheng when you grow up." Guo Zisu said.

Minrou lowered his head and remained silent.

At this time, Mrs. Zhao's mobile phone rang, and her friend urged her to play cards.

Mrs. Zhao answered the phone and said, "Sorry, I'm leaving first, the three of them are waiting for me."

Mr. Zhao said: "Things are not going well here, how can you leave?"

Mrs. Zhao blew a kiss to him, and said with a smile: "You can take care of it. Anyway, when he goes to our house, he will be the nanny to take care of him. If I have time to take care of the child, I will give birth to you sooner." After finishing speaking, she Just go away.

Mrs. Zhang sighed, and said to Mr. Zhao: "How good this is. The child has psychological shadows and needs careful care. I don't think your wife has the intention to do this at all."

Mr. Zhao said: "It's not a problem. Now many parents are busy with work and have no time to take care of their children. Isn't the child growing up?"

Guo Zisu said: "From the perspective of education, children who grow up without family care will inevitably be unhealthy psychologically. It will take a long time to slowly adjust after they grow up."

Mr. Zhao said: "That's right, we'll figure out a way when the time comes." He said to Minced Meat: "Son, don't be sad. Come with me now?"

Min Rou retracted his hands, opened his eyes wide, looked at him in panic, took a few steps back, and murmured, "I won't go with you."

"Why? My house has a lot of delicious food, and the house is very spacious." Mr. Zhao teased him.

Min Rou shook his head.

Mrs. Zhang touched Mr. Zhao, looked at the minced meat and asked, "Minced meat, don't you like going to school here?"

"like."

She smiled and asked again: "Don't you like learning to paint in my studio?"

"like."

The smile on Mrs. Zhang's face deepened, she held Minrou's hand and said, "That's right, if you want to continue studying here and learn painting with me, you have to go to this uncle's house."

Minrou heard it, quickly looked at Mr. Zhao, then at Guo Zisu, and burst into tears.

Mrs. Zhang took his hand again and asked, "Minced meat, why are you crying, can you tell me?"

Minced Meat twitched and said, "I went to their house. I won't be able to see Mr. Guo often when he returns to Ningcheng. I can't see my parents anymore, and I won't see Mr. Guo again."

Mr. Zhao's eyes were red when he heard Minrou's words. He spread his hands and said, "I understand this child's heart. In his heart, Mr. Guo is his only relative. We want to give him a good life, but To separate him from his only family."

Guo Zisu said puzzledly: "However, I have no blood relationship with him, and the relationship between me and him can be established between you."

Mr. Zhao shook his head and said: "It's different. You lived with his mother, and you reached out to him when he was most difficult. From the perspective of us adults, this is the true love of going through adversity together. Other feelings are There is no comparison. He may be willing to suffer with you, but he is not willing to enjoy happiness with us."

Mrs. Zhang said thoughtfully: "I understand. I think this matter should not be rushed, but take your time."

Mr. Zhao touched Minrou's head, and said lovingly: "You are such a good boy, and you will grow up to be a real man. I like you very much. If you don't want to go to my house, you won't go. Don't cry, okay? "

Minced Meat really stopped crying obediently, but the tears were still streaming down.

Mr. Zhao picked up the briefcase on the table and said, "Let's do this for today. Teacher Guo, no matter what, if this child needs my help in the future, just call me and I will try my best."

Guo Zisu sent Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhao outside.Mrs. Zhang said: "This matter is really tricky. This child has feelings for Mr. Guo, and he doesn't want to leave her. But Mr. Guo, you are a single girl and you will have a family in the future. You can't keep taking her with you like this." She walked and thought , When she got to Mr. Zhao's car, she suddenly said: "How about, Mr. Guo, you can ask someone to find a suitable family in your hometown, so that he can grow up well and see you often, and you don't have to worry about it." .”

Guo Zisu's heart moved, and she said softly, "I'll think about it."

Mrs. Zhang grabbed her hand and said excitedly: "Mr. Guo, I think this idea is really good, you must try it."

Seeing how excited she was, Guo Zisu smiled and said, "Okay, let's try."

Mr. Zhao turned the car around, poked his head out, and said to Guo Zisu: "Mr. Guo, don't stress too much. Anyway, in this county, if there is anything I can help, just ask."

Guo Zisu happily shook his hand and said, "Thank you, I will definitely come to you if I need anything."
