Sue finished washing and went to babulu's room. As soon as I got to the door of babulu's room, before I knocked, I heard bursts of laughter.
Su Su is a little strange. Babulu lives alone, and he is not a laughing child. Why is there laughter in the room? Who's in there?
She knocked on the door, but it was not babulu who opened it, but the daughter of the hostel owner. Seeing Su Su standing outside, the little girl raised a big smile and said sweetly, "big sister, are you looking for babulu?"
Su Su also said with a smile, "it's you, little sister. Are you here to play with babulu?"
The little girl nodded, took Susu's hand and ran back into the room. Babulu was sitting on the bed when he saw Su Su come in and lowered his head in embarrassment.
The little girl climbed onto the bed, sat down with babulu and said, "big sister, I came to babulu very early today! I also told him a piece of good news, right, babulu
"Good news?" Su Su sat down on the bed with a smile, put her arms around babulu's shoulder and said, "then tell her sister quickly. What's the good news?"
"I heard mom and dad say last night that they want Babu to be our child, so Babu will be my brother soon!" The little sister said happily.
"It's not my brother." Babulu retorted immediately. Although her skin was a little dark, Su Su felt that babulu was blushing.
"But I've long wanted to be a sister. If you are my brother, I can be a sister." The little girl looked at babulu in confusion.
Babulu pouted and said, "I don't want to be a brother."
The little girl took babulu's hand and shook it hard: "babulu, how about being my brother? I'll give you all the delicious food and my favorite dolls. Please, just be my brother."
"I don't want something delicious or funny. I'm older than you. I should be a brother. " Babulu shook his head stubbornly.
"But I'm taller than you. If I am taller than you, I can protect you. Then you should be my brother The little girl looked at babulu with wide eyes.
Su Su listened to the children's words, and felt that her previous worries were superfluous. Because of the lack of warmth of the family, babulu never forgot the death of his parents, and became more and more closed to himself, unable to accept the kindness of others. But once he is willing to walk out of the shadow, he must need more care from his family than anyone else.
Su Su quietly exits babulu's room, leaving the two children to continue playing in the room and comes to the hostess's residence alone.
When the hostess saw Su Su coming, she immediately asked her to have breakfast.
"Miss Su, where's babulu?" Asked the hostess as she brought Susu a sandwich.
"He's playing in the room with your daughter, so I'll come to you first." Su Su said.
The hostess wiped her hands with her apron, sat down at the table and asked nervously Did Miss Su tell babulu that we were going to adopt him? Did babulu agree? "
"No, but I don't think it's necessary," Su Su explained, looking at the hostess with a puzzled look on her face. "Your daughter told him about it before I went to babulu. When I went there, I saw that the two children got along well. It seems that he should like your daughter very much."
"Really? That child is so impatient. " Although the hostess complained, her face was full of doting.
Su Su felt sour when she saw the hostess's expression. From small to large, she did not get much care from her family. Her father was a drunkard, and her mother was not close to her. She often wondered if her life experience would be different if she lived in a happy family.
But the mood didn't last long. Susu soon put the idea behind him and continued: "I don't think babulu is resisting this proposal. He probably wants to stay here. I think you need to talk to him about adoption alone and ask him in person
"Yes? Then I'll go right away, "said the hostess, who quickly stood up and tried to find babulu, but after a few steps, she turned around and bowed to Susu." thank you very much, Miss Su. It's very kind of you. " Then she hurried to babulu's room.
Susu picked up the sandwich on her plate and nibbled it slowly. Somehow she felt a little melancholy. Maybe soon she will have to continue her journey alone.
Sure enough, before a sandwich was finished, the hostess came out with babulu and the little girl on her face and said thanks to Susu again.
Babulu looked at Su Su with shyness on her face and some apology. Su Su beckoned him over, touched his hair and said, "babulu will have his parents' children in the future. We should get along well with his sister."
"It's babulu's sister. It's not babulu's sister." The little girl protested.
Hearing this, everyone began to laugh. Su Su's melancholy about parting was also diluted.In the evening, the hotel family held a banquet to celebrate that babulu was about to become their second child. Su Su was also very happy for babulu and the hotel family.
After that, the hotel family took babulu back to Bloemfontein to officially go through the adoption procedures.
Su Su did not leave immediately, but continued to stay in the hotel to observe for a period of time, she felt that the hotel couple really treat babulu as their own child, babulu and the little girl get along very well. The smile on his face became more and more, and people became more and more cheerful, which was quite different from Su Su's appearance when she first saw him.
Su Su finally put her heart down. She believed that babulu really found a good home for him. Meanwhile, Su Su feels it's time to leave. She bought some food and daily necessities in the shopping center of the small town and put them in her RV. The next morning, without saying goodbye to babulu, he got up and set out in the twilight.
Because it was still early and there were few pedestrians on both sides of the road, Su Su opened the car window and the fresh air with some humidity came to her face, blowing her hair.
This time, she was the only one in the RV, without babulu's company. Su Su felt that the RV was very empty and desolate, so she turned on the car radio and listened to the songs on the radio.
It was a sad folk song. Su Su's tears fell from her eyes for some reason. She felt very strange. She didn't feel sad, but she still cried.
