Doomsday Grain

The government should not lack the things needed to raise children. Even if the price is high, the family should buy more and prepare.

Some of the newly raised rabbits last year have started to give birth, and they are basically kept and sold to the villagers.It's good for children to keep a pet. Keeping two rabbits in the house is a bit troublesome to clean up, but it's also good to play with pets more when children lack toys and need to go out less.

In the past few days, the family of three has been thinking about raising children, and basically prepared everything that can be prepared, except for the children.

On the appointed day, grandpa also wanted to go with him, but the family had never left anyone for so many years.

Everyone is gone, afraid that someone will come to the house, so you can't ask someone to come and watch the house. After all, there are a lot of secrets in the house. What if you look around and see something you shouldn't see?

"Anyway, it's not a new year, and few people go out. I usually know that you two go out, who would have thought that I would go out with me? The outside door is always locked, and no one will open the door. I just think I am old. No, it's over, and we won't be out for long." Grandpa said.

The family is about to add a new member, so Grandpa, the old man who is about to be promoted to great-grandpa, should go and choose a child with him.Besides, grandpa is a shrewd person, and he is quite accurate in judging people, so it would be good to help out as a consultant.

In this way, the family of three left the village together for the first time after the apocalypse.

The agreed address was in the city, and the two were not very familiar with each other. Grandpa hadn't been out for a long time, and he couldn't remember clearly, so he could only drive slowly by relying on the map before the end of the world.

I encountered a dead end twice in the middle, and each time I got out of the car to look at the terrain, and then went around the nearest one.

After tossing and tossing for nearly four hours, I found the previously agreed place.

When you go to choose a child, you can't go empty-handed, always bring some gifts.Lin Qian and the others prepared some dried fruits, which were picked from the mountains and dried in the sun.

Now, most of the annual harvest is sold to the army, a small part is kept to eat fresh, and the rest is made into dried fruit for storage.Usually, if you can sell some, you can sell some. If you can’t sell them, you can chew them as snacks.

Now it is just right to give it to the children, and it will not be suspected by outsiders.

Lin Qian also prepared some dried fish for the person in charge.If they don't accept it, it's just to add fuel to the children, and there is nothing wrong with them accepting it.

The address they gave was not an orphanage, but an office in a community.

This time, after talking in the office for an hour or so, we made assumptions and assurances about various situations, and finally signed the adoption agreement.

It stands to reason that a family can only adopt one child, but Lin Qian and He Yangxuan legally belong to two families, so they can adopt two.

Grandpa had slept against the wall for a while, and the matter was finished. At this time, the person in charge led the family of three to the orphanage to choose a child.

Bring the snacks prepared here, and drive for more than ten minutes to the local orphanage.The sound of children playing can be heard from a distance, which is rare in the last days.

The two aimed at children around one year old, and walked inside to a small two-story building. After entering, the second floor was the nursery room, which was full of children under one year old.

Open the door and go in, there are two women looking at the child.There were more than [-] children in total, more than a dozen ran and crawled on the ground. There was a small bed in the innermost part, and the rest of the children slept on the bed.

"These are all children born in the past two years. They won't be too big. Children over six years old are in the hospital. Take a look."

Few people come here because there are too few conditional adoptions.

The two women exchanged glances with the staff and nodded to the three of them.

The goal of Lin Qian's family is a man and a woman.Walking into the group of children, the children were either curious or shy, and all looked at the two newcomers.

He Yangxuan took out the dried fruit from his pocket and handed it to a child first. The child put it in his mouth, and immediately smiled.Seeing his reaction, the other children gathered around and ate the dried fruit.

Lin Qian asked the two women who were looking after the children, "Are they all different from the children born before?"

A woman nodded and said: "Basically. It's because the children are different now. In the past one or two years, many children were thrown away. Some were picked up by other families and raised, and those who had no one to support were sent here. Then There are two children on the side bed who are the same as before, they have just turned one year old. The other children who just turned one year old are running all over the floor, and those two children are still walking very slowly, and we have also taken time to exercise them recently."

He Yangxuan was teasing the children running around, while Lin Qian and his grandfather went to the crib to see the children lying on the bed.

Of the more than 20 children in the orphanage, only two have no mutation.In fact, it can also be said that if it is a relatively normal child, there should be many people adopting it, and few of them are sent here.

In this case, it is actually not bad to adopt a child who grows fast, and then raise a child who is the same as the child born before.

Looking at the row of children lying on the small bed, Lin Qian felt a little weird.I don't know why, but there is always an illusion of picking products.Of course, these children were not commodities, it was because Lin Qian himself lacked the link of conceiving and raising them from babies.This lack creates the present illusion.

On the crib in the corner, against the backdrop of a group of children around one year old, the two unmutated children looked even smaller.The child Lin Qian was most familiar with was Xiaoyudian, so he didn't know the normal growth of the child.

Grandpa stood by the side of the crib, looked at the little doll breathing evenly, and nodded: "A one-year-old is so big."

In fact, in Lin Qian's eyes, if the other children were about one year old, then these two children seemed to be four months old.

Lin Qian couldn't be blamed for being ignorant. Maybe in a few decades, when all the fetuses were mutated, the mutated speed would be the normal speed for growing up, and no one would remember the past.

"These are two girls." In fact, the quilt used by the child was a similar flower quilt, except that a little bit of pink cuffs were exposed from the quilt, so Lin Qian guessed that the two children were girls.

"Well, they're all little girls." If a family with good conditions is willing to adopt them, the staff is actually very happy.

No matter how good the raising conditions are here, it is still a big family.No matter how hard you take care of them, for them, there is still something missing in their growth.

Grandpa looked at Lin Qian, then at the two sleeping girls, pointed to the one on the left and said, "Qianqian, do you think this child looks a bit like you?"

Lin Qian couldn't tell, but if grandpa had a good eye, it would be good to take him home.

A woman came over to look at her and said, "This child is quite honest, he seldom cries, and it's easy to take care of."

Mutated children have better physiques, which sets off the weak bones of ordinary children and requires more energy.Taking care of so many children, it is difficult to pay special attention to one child, and it is good for the child if it is adopted.

Lin Qian looked at his grandfather, who nodded.

"Does she have a name?" Lin Qian asked.

"We all call her Xiaoyu, and we don't know what her original last name is. The children on the left and right are still young, so it would be nice for you to give her another one if you want to raise her."

The little doll named Xiaoyu just moved, and she didn't know what she dreamed of. She stretched out her little hand from under the quilt, turned over and smacked her mouth and continued to sleep.

Lin Qian blocked his mouth and asked in a low voice, "Would it not wake you up if you talk like this?"

The woman smiled and said: "It's okay, the children here have long been used to it. Didn't you see the children over there having so much fun, do you still sleep well here? There are so many children here, unless it is at night, it will definitely not be quiet."

The small and soft milk doll was lying on the small bed, looking as good as the photos advertised in the photo studio in the past.

Lin Qian was sure he wanted this girl. Lin Qian took a closer look and found it pleasing to the eye no matter what she looked at.

Lin Qian turned to look at He Yangxuan. At this time, He Yangxuan was standing among the children, still watching.

Lin Qian went with his grandfather, He Yangxuan asked Lin Qian, "How is it over there?"

Lin Qian smiled and said, "That little girl is pretty good, you want to take a look too?"

"Let's watch together later. Grandpa, which child do you think we should raise?"

Grandpa looked at these children. In fact, they all looked like children of two or three years old.

Grandpa squatted down and looked at the children in front of him who were eating dried fruits and smiling happily.

"Xiaoxuan, which one do you like?"

"There's not much difference between such a big child." He Yangxuan pointed to the little boy who was eating dried fruit in his mouth and said, "It's just that he's quite strong, so he should be able to feed well."

Grandpa thought to himself, is he being picked as an animal?But the words are not rough, and looking strong means that they usually eat a lot, are not picky eaters, and strong people are not easy to get sick, and they are indeed easy to feed.

"Qianqian, what do you think?"

Lin Qian looked at the child.That child was indeed older than the child next to him, but it was also possible that this child was two months older than the other children.

Look at the way he eats, he is just holding a small dried fruit, nibbling bit by bit with his small mouth, like a little hamster, he likes to eat, but he is reluctant to eat it all at once.

Lin Qian walked over and knelt down: "Is it delicious?"

The child looked back at Lin Qian, tilted his head as if thinking about what Lin Qian was talking about.Lin Qian thought of the little raindrops. When the little raindrops were so big, they didn't understand much.

Lin Qian stretched out his hand to him and said, "Can you give me something to eat?"

This time the child seemed to understand. Looking at the half-eaten dried fruit, he tore off half of it with his little hands and handed it to Lin Qian.

Lin Qian looked at the dried fruit still stained with saliva in his hand, and nodded to He Yangxuan and grandpa.

Such a big child, still can't see any kind of heart.But this child neither does not give what is in other people's hands, nor does he give all his own things to others, but divides things in two.It didn't matter what it meant, but Lin Qian liked what he did.

"That's him?" He Yangxuan asked for his grandfather's opinion.

Both children agreed, and grandpa naturally didn't say anything else.
