I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1046: Contrary to Common Sense

Suddenly, the little girl and Huang Xiaochuan made eye contact. She stared at him intently, and after a moment, she actually curved her little mouth into a smile.

"Wow! She smiled! She smiled!" Huang Ruiying was incredibly excited.

This was the first time she had seen the little one smile since she picked her up. She had thought that such a tiny little fur baby would never smile.

Huang Zeji, who was originally sitting elsewhere, was intrigued by his sister's shouts and came over to take a look. Sure enough, the little one lying in the stroller was staring intently at his father and even smiling. The smile was very cute and quite amusing.

Huang Xiaochuan was also somewhat surprised. He had taken care of children before and knew that babies under one month old had not yet developed their vision and could not see people clearly. But in this situation, it seemed as if they could really see.

He wanted to test it, so he reached out and gently waved his hand in front of the little guy's eyes. Strangely enough, the little guy's eyes followed his hand and kept looking at it.

This is going to be interesting.

Yu Xiang had just come downstairs when she saw her husband and two children gathered around the stroller, her daughter giggling. She asked, puzzled, "What are you all doing?"

Seeing her mother arrive, Huang Ruiying waved excitedly, her face beaming with joy: "Mom, come quick!"

Yu Xiang walked over and saw the little one lying in the stroller interacting with her man. The little mouth was slightly open, and occasionally the little tongue would stick out. Sometimes the little one would even laugh.

"Oh, you can already smile?" Yu Xiang also found it quite amusing, and a smile appeared on her face.

Huang Xiaochuan pulled Yu Xiang to his side and boasted, "Let me tell you something. I just put my hand in front of her eyes, and she kept looking at it."

"How is that possible?" Yu Xiang naturally didn't believe it, her eyes filled with professional skepticism. She had been a doctor; how could a baby less than a month old see things? That didn't make sense in the medical community.

Seeing that Yu Xiang didn't believe him, Huang Xiaochuan urged, "Don't believe me? Then try it."

Yu Xiang stretched out her hand and waved it back and forth in front of the little guy's eyes, but the little guy seemed not to see it and his empty eyes drifted to the other side.

Yu Xiang glared at the man angrily: "Are you bored and just messing with me?"

Huang Xiaochuan was also puzzled: "They definitely looked at my hand just now. You can ask Xiaodong and Xiaoduo; they both saw it!"

Huang Zeji and Huang Ruiying nodded in unison, like chicks pecking at rice, as if to testify for their father.

Yu Xiang was skeptical: "Then try it again for me?"

Huang Xiaochuan stretched his hand out in front of the little guy again, waving it from side to side. The little guy's eyes followed his hand, and he looked quite focused.

Huang Xiaochuan pointed at the little guy and said, "See, see, I wasn't wrong!"

Yu Xiang's eyes widened in surprise: "It really is!"

No one in the family could explain what was going on. Even Yu Xiang, a doctor, couldn't use her professional knowledge to explain the phenomenon.

The only reasonable explanation is that this little guy likes Huang Xiaochuan. Otherwise, why can't he see other people's hands, but only his?

At this moment, Huang Ruiying said, "Mom, she's so cute."

Looking at the little one in the stroller, Yu Xiang had to admit that he was indeed quite adorable.

"Hmm, cute."

Huang Ruiying played with the little one for a while, then looked up and said, "Dad, Mom, if we can't find her family, then let's keep her here. We can afford to raise her anyway."

"Xiaoduo." Huang Xiaochuan glared at his daughter.

Yu Xiang didn't say anything, but she glared at her daughter with displeasure, thinking that she was really acting on a whim.

The little one was not even a month old yet. After playing for a while, he started yawning, his little mouth wide open, and his eyelids began to droop. Yu Xiang called the postpartum nanny over and handed the little one over to her.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's eat." She called to the three of them.

Just as the family picked up their chopsticks, Old Huang and Zeng Lijuan arrived.

"Dad, Mom, have you eaten?" Seeing her parents-in-law suddenly appear, Yu Xiang quickly stood up to greet them. The three of them also stood up and greeted the elderly couple.

To everyone's surprise, the elderly couple completely ignored their greetings, and Zeng Lijuan directly asked Yu Xiang, "Where's the child we picked up?"

Yu Xiang pointed to the guest room on the first floor: "She's in the guest room, already asleep."

The elderly couple immediately went to the guest room, and came out again after a short while. They went straight to the living room and saw their youngest son's family still standing there. Old Huang waved his hand and said, "You eat first, we'll sit for a while."

Huang Xiaochuan finished his meal hastily and sat down in front of his parents, with Yu Xiang following closely behind.

Huang Xiaochuan guessed his parents' purpose for coming, so as soon as he sat down, he said to them, "We'll be sending them off in a few days, so they'll be staying with me temporarily for the next few days."

Yu Xiang chimed in, "Yes, mainly because the child is too young, and the police felt they might not be able to take care of him if they brought him back to the police station."

Zeng Lijuan complained, "They can't take care of the child, so they just dump him on you? Honestly, what kind of police officers are they?"

At this moment, Huang Xiaochuan comforted his parents: "Mom and Dad, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, don't worry. Once the police have the results, we'll send them wherever they need to be sent. We won't keep them."

When Lao Huang and Zeng Lijuan heard their youngest son say this, their expressions softened slightly, but they were still somewhat worried.

They heard about this from Zeng Jiahua and Qian Jiazhen today, and they panicked immediately, especially when they heard that their granddaughter wanted to keep the child.

So she skipped dinner and went straight to find her youngest son.

Old Huang asked his son with a stern face, "Then why didn't you tell us?"

Huang Xiaochuan explained with a smile, "We didn't take it seriously at first. Anyway, this child won't stay with us for more than a few days. Regardless of whether the police can find out who abandoned the child, the child will still be sent to an orphanage. So I didn't tell you right away. But I plan to tell you when I come to your house for dinner this weekend."

The elderly couple breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that their son and daughter-in-law had no intention of adopting the child.

But since we're already here, I should still say a few words.

Zeng Lijuan said, "That's true, but your father and I just saw the child. We felt a little guilty after just one glance, let alone after you two took care of him for a while. Xiao Chuan is my son, and you are someone I watched grow up. Do you think I don't know what kind of people you two are?"

At this point, Zeng Lijuan glanced at her youngest son and daughter-in-law, then continued, "This child's origins are unknown. If you keep her, what if her family comes looking for her later?"

Huang Xiaochuan assured his father, "Dad, don't worry, I'll have someone urge the police tomorrow to investigate as soon as possible and get the results so we can take the child away."

Seeing that their son and daughter-in-law's attitudes were very clear, the elderly couple finally felt completely relieved.

Old Huang immediately stood up: "Then we won't stay any longer, you should all get some rest!"

After saying that, he went out with Zeng Lijuan, and Huang Xiaochuan personally arranged a car to take the two elderly people back.
