Chapter 627 A Stick Meets an 8th-Grade Craftsman!
"Little sister, those two adults up ahead want to adopt a child. Come with me and ask them!"
Banggeng turned back excitedly and said, then grabbed Xiaodang and hurried forward.
"Brother, I...I'm scared, I want to go home!"
The thought of leaving the familiar courtyard house suddenly filled Xiao Dang with a sense of inexplicable panic, and she began to have second thoughts.
"Xiao Dang, are you stupid? You'll only go hungry every day if you go home!"
"But...but I'll miss Mom."
"Why do you want Mom? She can't feed you, and if she finds out we sneaked into Pigeon City, she'll beat us to death."
"Huh? I don't want to get beaten up."
“Xiao Dang, those two adults look quite well dressed, their families must be well-off. If you follow them, you can definitely eat white flour buns every day.”
"Swoosh~ Bro, let's hurry up and go, they'll leave soon."
After being coaxed by Bang Geng, Xiao Dang turned the tables and became eager to be adopted...
"You want to adopt a child?"
The two approached the middle-aged couple one after the other. Bang Geng pretended to be mature and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, we'd like to adopt a child, boy or girl, preferably under one year old... Wait, who are you?"
Upon seeing that the visitor was a teenager, the middle-aged couple quickly stopped talking and asked a question instead.
"Never mind who we are for now. Tell me where you're from, what you do for a living, and what your family's financial situation is like."
"Forehead……"
The middle-aged couple were adopting a child for the first time and had no idea about the process. Seeing that the other party was just a child, they were unsure whether to answer or not.
“Honey, we’re just killing time anyway, why don’t we tell him? What if he has a younger brother or sister?”
The middle-aged woman tugged at her husband's sleeve and offered her advice.
"Fine!"
The middle-aged man nodded in agreement, then pulled out his work ID and a certificate of honor from his pocket, before covering the important information such as the company name and his own name with his hand.
"Little friend, my wife and I are locals from Beijing. We have three rooms in our house. I am an eighth-level fitter at a machinery factory, and my wife is a fifth-level spinner at a textile factory. These are my certificates, you can take a look."
"Due to special circumstances, we haven't been able to have a child, so we'd like to adopt one and raise it as our own..."
Wow~ An eighth-level fitter?!
Banggeng gasped upon hearing this.
Although he was not very literate, he could still recognize the words "Level 8" on the certificate of honor.
This is a level eight worker!
The highest-ranking worker.
Yi Zhonghai was once a level 7 worker, earning a monthly salary of 84.5 yuan. So, a level 8 worker must have earned 100 yuan a month, right?
To be honest, Bang Geng was tempted; he almost wanted to offer himself to the middle-aged couple in front of him to be raised...
"Brother? Brother? I'm willing to let Uncle and Auntie take care of me, please talk to them!"
Xiao Dang also knew what an eighth-level worker meant: not to mention eating white flour buns every day, he could even eat meat every day without any problem!
In Pigeon City, pork only costs two or three yuan per pound. Even if you eat a pound a day, you wouldn't be able to spend all of an eighth-grade worker's salary.
Seeing his brother standing there in a daze, he hurriedly urged him on.
"Huh? Huh? I...I..."
Bang Geng snapped out of his daze and was about to volunteer when the couple beat him to it.
"Little friend, you've misunderstood. We only want to adopt children under one year old. Your sister looks at least three years old, doesn't she?"
Children under one year old have no memory of anything, but can be raised as biological children.
If the child is over three years old, they are very likely to remember who their biological parents are, and they might even try to find them when they grow up.
In the end, it was all for nothing!
"Uncle and Aunt, I...I...our family is so poor!"
When Banggeng learned of the couple's thoughts, he realized that he had no chance at all.
However, Xiao Dang is only three years old, so we can try to win him over.
