The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Dean Xie, to be honest, we have visited many welfare homes, but we haven't found a suitable child."

Xie Yajing's expression suddenly changed slightly, and she asked cautiously, "Then I wonder what conditions you two need?"

After hearing what Sun Yi said, she had more or less guessed the reason. It must be that these two people had high requirements for the child, otherwise, they would not have visited many welfare homes but still failed to find a suitable child.

But on the contrary, she felt a lot more relieved. Since these two people visited many welfare homes, it meant that they really wanted to adopt.

The biggest problem may be that they have relatively high requirements for adopted children.

But this is normal. Both of them are highly qualified talents, and it is reasonable for them to have requirements for the adopted children.

Children in welfare institutions may not be able to choose their adoptive families, but adoptive families are qualified to choose their children.

But she knew her own child well, so she didn't have much confidence.

Sun Yi did not hesitate and directly stated her conditions.

"Dean Xie, we do have some conditions, but don't worry, if we can find a suitable one, we are willing to donate to the welfare home to the best of our ability."

There is no free lunch in the world. As teachers and professors, the couple knew this very well, so before proposing conditions, they promised benefits first.

In most cases, the welfare home relies on donations from the society and support from the government. Families that adopt children will give certain donations, which is also considered public welfare.

But since Sun Yi mentioned it so clearly, it means their donation must be extraordinary.

"We'll talk about this later, Mr. Sun. Tell me your requirements first so I can help you select them."

Sun Yi continued: "My husband and I really want to have a child, but we have some conditions. First of all, the child we want cannot be disabled."

The disabled child was ruled out at once, but Dean Xie was mentally prepared and nodded calmly.

"no problem."

"Secondly, the child we want to adopt should preferably be an orphan without any relatives. You should understand our concerns."

"understand."

"Also, we don't want to adopt children with unknown origins or problems. As for the others..."

Xie Yajing was very well-mannered. Even though Sun Yi made many requests, she did not show any impatience and continued to listen very carefully.

She didn't speak until Sun Yi finished speaking.

"Teacher Sun, if we follow your requirements, I'm afraid there won't be enough children for you to choose from in our welfare home."

Sun Yi: "It's okay. This kind of thing also depends on fate. Maybe your hospital just happens to have a child that we are satisfied with."

Xie Yajing smiled and replied, "Yes, no matter which child you two choose, it will be a very happy thing for him."

"Well, I'll pick out the information of the children who meet the requirements and let you take a look at it first. After you look at the information, we'll go and see the children. What do you think?"

Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi both nodded in agreement.

"We have no problem with that."

So Xie Yajing began to select from a pile of information, but soon she looked up and asked, "By the way, Mr. Zhou, Teacher Sun, I forgot to ask, do you want to adopt a boy or a girl?"

Sun Yi answered without hesitation: "Boy."

Zhou Guofu glanced at his wife and said, "If there is anyone who meets the requirements, a girl is fine too."

Xie Yajing said: "I understand, just wait a moment, it will be done soon."

Although it was said to be fast, it still took her more than ten minutes to put together the appropriate personnel information and then handed it to Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi.

"You two, there are thirteen files here in total, six boys and seven girls. Please take a look at their basic information first."

Because of the times, there are obviously more girls than boys in welfare homes, especially in small towns like this.

Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi took the information, leaned their heads against each other, and read it carefully.

They read and discussed in low voices at the same time. It took them more than half an hour to finish reading all the information.

After watching, the two of them already had an idea in their minds that the thirteen children were indeed all under the age of six, and the youngest was only over two years old.

"Dean Xie, can we see the children now?" Sun Yi asked in a low voice.

Xie Yajing: "Of course, I will ask the teacher to call these children over now, and you can communicate slowly."

Afterwards, she took the two of them to the classroom and asked the teacher to call over the dozen or so children.

After seeing the children, Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi began to communicate with them, with Sun Yi mainly talking while Zhou Guofu watched from the side.

Zhou Guofu watched his wife communicating with the children with a smile on her face. The running around during this period made him see his wife's determination. She really wanted to adopt a child.

However, when he saw these children rushing to show themselves, their faces full of anticipation and desire, he felt particularly uncomfortable.

During this year, he has met too many children and seen too many disappointed looks in their eyes. Every time this happens, he feels sorry for them.

So Zhou Guofu quietly walked out of the classroom and stood outside. Zhou Guofu looked at the children playing. He saw that many children were looking over here curiously and staring at him, which made him even more uncomfortable.

He could read the eyes of these children, which were full of desire, but he could do nothing.

But he had made a decision. Even if he didn't find suitable children later, he would distribute the things he bought in the van to these children.

The reason why they hired a van was because they bought too many things and it was inconvenient to take a car, and these things were all prepared for the welfare home.

After walking around the welfare home for a few steps, he found that the conditions in this welfare home were really not that good. At least among the welfare homes he had visited, the conditions in this welfare home were relatively poor.

When Zhou Guofu walked to a corner, he was surprised to find that there was a child sitting there alone.

Unlike other noisy children, this child was surprisingly quiet. He sat at the table, not knowing what he was doing.

Curious Zhou Guofu walked over quietly, and after getting in, he found that the child was actually playing chess, Go, and he was using black and white pieces at the same time.

After getting closer, Zhou Guofu could see clearly that the child was about five or six years old. When he approached, the child looked up at him, but soon immersed himself in the game of Go again.

This made Zhou Guofu even more curious. He had visited so many welfare homes, but he had rarely seen children who could play Go.

I thought the kid was just pretending, but after a few minutes, his expression changed.

"This, this kid, he actually knows how to play Go, and also..."

One person played both black and white pieces at the same time, and actually played very well. Even Zhou Guofu, who was proficient in Go, was stunned because this kid played very well.

He slowly forgot who was playing chess and instead stared at the chessboard intently, wondering what he would do if it were him.

Zhou Chen stayed by himself for a while, and when he saw that the middle-aged man behind him had not left yet, he couldn't help but frowned.

He also saw this middle-aged man entering the welfare home.

A strange couple arrived, and if you think about it carefully you will know their purpose.

But this man doesn’t choose anyone, but what is he doing behind me?

But before he could open his mouth, Zhou Guofu behind him couldn't help but ask, "Little boy, it's so boring to play chess alone. Do you want your uncle to play chess with you?"

"you?"

Zhou Chen glanced at him calmly. Although the man looked somewhat cultured, he didn't think his Go level was higher than his.

"Hey."

Zhou Guofu, who was just beginning to be interested, became anxious when he saw Zhou Chen's eyes. Does this kid look down on me?

"Little friend, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. Today I will teach you how to play Go."

Zhou Chen put away the black and white pieces expressionlessly, then pushed the black piece to the opposite side. His meaning was very clear.

It's the same if you play alone. Since this person wants to play with me, I will play with him and treat it as a rare pleasure in the welfare home.

There happened to be two stools here. Dean Xie would sit and play with Zhou Chen before, and Zhou Guofu would sit in front of Zhou Chen.

"I am the elder, how can I play first? The black pieces are for you and the white pieces are for me."

Zhou Guofu pushed the black piece in front of Zhou Chen without saying a word and placed the white piece in front of himself.

"it is good."

Zhou Chen did not refuse. After responding, he picked up a black piece and placed it on the chessboard.

Zhou Guofu couldn't help laughing when he saw the serious expression on Zhou Chen's little face. He had been to many welfare homes and met many strange children, but this was the first time he had seen one as interesting as Zhou Chen.

Although he could see that Zhou Chen could play Go and was quite good at it, he was still very confident. He had been learning Go for more than 20 years. So, shouldn't it be easy for him to defeat a kid of a few years old?

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

After more than ten minutes, Zhou Guofu's forehead began to sweat. You know, it's autumn now, and the weather is especially cool in the morning.

He held a black piece in his hand, but was hesitant to drop it. He couldn't remember how many times he hesitated.

At this moment, he felt extremely embarrassed.

A dignified university professor was actually stumped by a little kid using Go, especially since he just said "I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice", which made him even more embarrassed.

Looking at the middle-aged man who had been forced into a desperate situation, Zhou Chen did not show any pride of victory, but a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This person's Go level is much better than Dean Xie's, but there is still a gap compared to him.

"Uncle, are you still going to play?"

Zhou Guofu's old face turned red, and he put the chess piece back in frustration. After thinking for so long, he knew that he was in a desperate situation. Even if he forced himself to continue, he would only lose even more miserably.

After adjusting his posture, Zhou Guofu couldn't help but ask Zhou Chen curiously: "Little boy, who did you learn Go from?"

"Aunt Dean."

Zhou Guofu was shocked when he heard this. It turned out that the director of the welfare home who looked so kind had such great chess skills?

"Your dean is so amazing, you seem to like her very much?"

Zhou Chen: "Of course, Aunt Dean is the best person to me in this world."

Indeed, after coming into this world for several months, Dean Xie is the only one who cares about him the most, so in his heart he has already regarded this Dean aunt as his own relative.

Zhou Guofu took a great interest in Zhou Chen. He had come into contact with many children, so he could clearly see that Zhou Chen was different from others.

From the fact that Zhou Chen is playing chess here alone, we can tell that he should be a rather introverted person, but he has a very high IQ, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be defeated so badly by Go.

He came here to adopt a child, and Zhou Chen happened to be a child from an orphanage, so he developed a strong interest in Zhou Chen and even had an idea in his mind.

"What's your name?"

"What?"

Zhou Chen looked at the middle-aged man warily. This man came to adopt a child, and suddenly asked him his name. This made him wonder if this man had any bad intentions towards him.

Seeing the wariness in Zhou Chen's eyes, Zhou Guofu chuckled. The little guy was quite wary.

"How about I tell you my name and you tell me yours?"

"hehe."

Zhou Chen responded with a disdainful sneer, thinking I was a three-year-old kid.

He had no interest in talking to Zhou Guofu. If when he first arrived, he was still thinking about how to leave the welfare home, now he no longer had that idea.

Because the dean has already told him that she will send him to school next year, and as long as he can study well, she will continue to support him.

With what the director said, he no longer had any thoughts of leaving for the time being, so there was naturally no need for him to get close to this adoptive father.

Chapter 399 Genius, Meeting

"Hey, this little guy."

Zhou Guofu found it funny when he saw Zhou Chen's disdainful look. He was actually being mocked by a little kid again.

"My name is Zhou Guofu. As a courtesy, shouldn't you also tell me your name?"

"He Xiaoming."

Zhou Chen still said the name because this person had just played a game of chess with him. After thinking about it, he said something else.

"Uncle, I know what you are here for, so just go do your thing and don't waste your time here."

Now Zhou Guofu was surprised: "Do you know what I'm here for?"

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes: "Very strange? Everyone in the welfare home knows what you are doing here."

Zhou Guofu laughed dryly twice. Although Zhou Chen seemed to be impolite, he became more and more interested in Zhou Chen. He saw in Zhou Chen a maturity that was different from that of ordinary children, as well as an IQ that was higher than that of ordinary children.

Thinking of this, the idea that had just come to his mind became even more intense.

Since you have decided to adopt a child, why not adopt a smart child?
