Chapter 3 Teresa

Adopting children cannot be hidden from the media, so Tang En did not do it secretly. Chinese media all know that Tang En is coming to China to adopt children, but this kind of celebrity privacy can only be published in tabloids, and big media will not be published - when did you meet Xinhua News Agency? CCTV has made great efforts to report a celebrity who came to China to adopt children? No? In fact, there are many foreigners who come to China to adopt children, and there are also many foreign celebrities, but the general media does not report it much.

Foreigners adopt children in China, even if the procedures are complete, they still need to pay a large sum of money. China sets a high threshold for foreigners to adopt Chinese children. Even celebrities like Tang En have to follow the procedures. The money they should pay must be paid, and the procedures they should show must be presented. But for Tang En, any problem that money can solve is not a problem. He does not lack money at all, and the procedures are complete. He is determined to win this time when he comes to China.

Tang En enlarged the scope of adoption in Sichuan from the beginning. Nothing else, he himself is from Sichuan, and he has feelings for this land and for the children of this land.

After a walk around the welfare homes in Sichuan, I selected a few children with better conditions. After discussing with Shania, I finally chose a four-year-old girl.   In China, the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is still very marketable in backward and remote places. Many people have to give birth to a boy but they can’t support them when they are born. So girls either give them away or abandon them. There are many girls in the welfare home, but there are not many boys, and most of them are physically disabled.   Tang En didn’t have any idea of ​​favoring boys over girls, and Shania was even less.   For them, boys are better than boys, and girls are also cute, but there are many girls in the welfare home, so girls are naturally adopted.

This little girl, who was almost five years old, was not as noisy as other children when she met Tang En and Shania, but was very quiet. She was wearing a red floral dress and sat on a chair, blinking her big eyes at the two strangers opposite her, a little scared, just like an innocent little animal, adorable.

Xianya fell in love with her at first sight, and her quiet appearance was also very fond of Tang En. Because of work, Tang En likes quiet in life. So he doesn't like the too noisy child, but he is just right in his appetite. According to the files of the Welfare House, this little girl is from Zigong, Sichuan. She was abandoned at the gate of the Welfare House soon after she was born. Her parents did not even name the baby. Except for putting her at the gate of the Welfare House, she left no information. Therefore, the Welfare House named her Liu Ai, which was the homonym of "Liu Love". She hopes to keep love for her, and her birthday is the day when the Welfare House discovered her - October 3rd.

Since he has chosen the target, he will start to go through the adoption procedures. Once the procedures are completed, Liu Ai has nothing to do with the welfare home. He will officially become the first child of Tang En and Xianya, although he is an adopted daughter.

During the process of completing the procedures, Tang En realized how lucky he was - according to Chinese law, foreigners who want to adopt Chinese children must be older than 30 years old, and at the same time not less than 50 years old. Tang En is still fifty years old after more than two months. Just within the scope permitted by law, if he came two months later, he would not be able to fulfill his wish.

Tang En is a celebrity, even in Zigong, a small town in southern Sichuan. What's more, the people who accompanied him were even more famous than the Chinese people. World supermodel and Hollywood movie star Xianya had already entered the Chinese market. The graphic posters and TV advertisements she endorsed were well-known to Chinese people a few years ago.

Celebrities have an advantage, and their identities are valued by you. The efficiency of the welfare home and civil affairs department in doing things is also satisfactory.

It took only one day to Liu Ai to become the child of Tang En and Shania. But since he is a foreign child, he must have a foreign name. Tang En retained Liu Ai's Chinese name. He had an indescribable fate with China. This child is part of it. How could there be no Chinese name? Shania was responsible for giving Xiao Liu Ai a foreign name. She finally chose the word "teresa". In Greek, it means the harvester. In Portuguese, it represents the goddess of harvest. This name is often used to describe beautiful, black-haired women, quiet, and direct. It has extremely devout faith. Not to mention faith, it is quite compatible with Liu Ai's image and personality in other aspects.

After completing the procedures, the aunt of the welfare home packed up Liu Ai's personal belongings - now Teresa - and handed them over to Tang En and his wife. In fact, it was nothing, it was just toys and books donated to the welfare home. There were a few clothes, but Tang En didn't want them, leaving only toys and books. Naturally, they had to buy new clothes, so how could they still wear old clothes? His daughter had to dress up beautifully, like a princess.

During the whole process, Xiao Liu Ai rarely spoke, just hugged a little bear doll that belonged to him and followed him. This made Tang En even happier to see it, and he liked such a quiet and sensible child.

Finally, standing at the gate of the welfare home, a group of friends from the welfare home came out to see Liu Ai off, adopted by foreign parents, and then went to a distant foreign country. Maybe they would never see each other again. A group of children were crying and laughing together, reluctant to leave. Tang En was talking to the director of the welfare home on the other side, just thanking Tang En and his wife for adopting Xiao Liu Ai so kindly, and hoped that they could treat Liu Ai well.

"Mr. Tang En, Ms. Shaniya. She doesn't like to talk much. She always likes to keep many things in her heart instead of telling us. I know you are both celebrities and are busy with work, but you must be careful not to neglect her. "Aunt Du, who usually takes care of Liu Ai, seemed to be worried and gave a special order. She knew Liu Ai very well, for fear that her personality would go to a strange country, and she would not be used to the language through life, and was unhappy. She also had a little concern, and she did not say it: Tang En and Shaniya are foreigners after all, and they are celebrities. The marriages of celebrities cannot end well. What if they divorce in the future, what should I do with this Shaniya? In addition, who knows whether Tang En and Shaniya in life are really loving and can truly love this adopted daughter?

Tang En didn't know that the other party was suspicious of him. He was still happy that he had a daughter, so he naturally agreed to the other party's advice. "This is no problem. I am retired now. I can take care of my daughter at home with peace of mind, ha!"

Since Shania can't speak Chinese, she can only communicate with the outside world. Shania is just by his side, looking at Teresa who is saying goodbye to her friends not far away, her eyes full of love. She has always wanted a child, but she and her husband have worked hard for nine years but have not yet become pregnant. She can only settle for the next best and adopt one. Now with her daughter, her maternal love that has been suppressed for many years is sprouting. In the future, I am afraid that her Uncle Tony will be neglected.

The child finally said goodbye at the urging of other aunts, and Teresa, Liu Ai, was taken to Tang En and Xianya.

When Shania saw the tears on her daughter's face, she obviously had just cried. She quickly took out her handkerchief and squatted down to gently wipe away the tears for Teresa. There was a hint of sorrow in her eyes, and she smiled a little reluctantly. It seemed that this short contact had already made her and her daughter have a spirit of friendship. She couldn't be happy when she saw that her daughter was unhappy.

Tang En noticed another point - his daughter was very sad when she said goodbye, but after seeing them, she was able to calm her emotions. She was obviously a sensible girl. He liked her more and more.

The director of the Welfare Institute is a woman in her fifties. She has been working here for more than 20 years, and she is still a little reluctant to leave. She also squatted down and rubbed Liu Ai's land. She said softly: "Love, from today on, you will have a father and mother. Are you happy?"

Xiao Aiai lowered her head, glanced at Tang En with her eyes, then lowered her eyes and nodded.

"Grandma hopes you will live a healthy and happy life in the UK."

The dean stood up, patted Liu Ai on the shoulder, and signaled her to walk over by herself.

The little girl slowly stepped forward two steps. She walked to Tang En and Xianya, and then called out shyly: "Dad, Mom."

Although it is in Chinese and in Sichuan dialect, the pronunciation of "Mom" is similar all over the world. Xianya could clearly hear it. She squatted down happily, hugged her daughter, and kissed her little face.

Tang En's relationship is not as revealing as his wife, but he just smiles brightly. He has been married to Shaniya for nine years. Finally, he has a child. Even the adopted one is very content. After all, he always thinks that he is infertile. This summer, he has just won the highest honor in the world football world - the World Cup. After retiring, he has his first child. This year is the happiest year in his life.

In this way, Liu Ai - now called Teresa - took a car with her new parents, following her new parents away from the welfare home where she had lived for four years, and began a new life.

Tang En, who had gained his first daughter, was in a good mood. No matter what, he finally became a father. Tang En had no experience in being a father, and only knew that it would be right to make the child happy. So the next day he took Teresa back to Chengdu to play, took her to see the cute and lively giant panda, and bought her a lot of panda dolls. After playing around in Chengdu, he went to Jiuzhaigou to travel, allowing this little girl who had never been out of a welfare home to fully experience the beauty of the world.

During the trip, after several days of contact, Tang En also discovered the problem mentioned by the welfare home aunt: Teresa is too quiet and doesn't know how to smile happily. This is not a good habit. If a child doesn't know how to laugh, it would be terrible. Tang En decided to correct her overly introverted personality. Since she is a child, she must be lively when she should be active.

So when she returned from Jiuzhaigou, Tang En and Xianya took her to Disneyland, Ocean Park and other amusement parks in Hong Kong to give her a brand new experience and a happy feeling.

After playing in Hong Kong, Tang En took her to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony. This was not Tang En's arrangement, but the request made by Teresa herself. Because she used to watch the flag-raising ceremony on TV, she really wanted to go to the scene to see what it was like. How could her daughter's request not be met? Tang En took her to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony, and also took her to climb the Great Wall, visit the Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven and other places of interest in Beijing, and took her to the zoo to see the lions, tigers, and monkeys.

Xiang, took her to the amusement park to make a roller coaster Ferris wheel, and finally made this girl who was always quiet scream loudly on the roller coaster, which was a relief. Although she was a little scared after she got off, Tang En saw an excitement from her little face. Teresa is also the only child in the welfare home who has come to Beijing to play. She also represents her friends in the welfare home fulfilling her wish. She will wash out the photos of this experience and send them back to share it with her.

Have fun in China, and it has also enhanced the relationship between the Tang En and his new daughter. At least Teresa's voice is no longer low and shy when she calls her parents, but she can get along with her new parents generously.

After the trip to China, Tang En and Shania took their daughter directly from China to Brazil, asking Shania's parents to see their granddaughter. Shania's parents also like their well-behaved and sensible granddaughters very much. Even if she is not their daughter's biological daughter, as long as their daughter likes them, they like it. Moreover, they do not have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. On the contrary, they are somewhat "referring to girls over boys" and prefer girls.

"But I don't allow Teresa to go my way in the future!" Shania made a vow to her parents before she could prevent problems. She didn't ask her daughter how much money she could make or how famous she would be. That kind of thing was too far away. She only had Teresa's childhood health and happiness.

"She is your daughter, Xiao Qiao. You have the final say."

Parents are not angry.   The parents have always known their children best.   They all know that their daughter wants a child, but Tang En can do nothing.                                                                                                         

Teresa also performed very well, and she pleased her grandparents. She bought her a lot of things and took them back to the UK.

After staying in Brazil for a week, Don and Shania took Teresa back to the UK. At London Heathrow Airport, Don't live in trouble and the scene was suddenly in chaos, saying that the airport security guards were facing a great enemy. Amid the flashlights and noises that were connected, Teresa was a little scared and hid behind Don't live.

This scene also made Tang En frown. It seemed that these media like wolves and tigers scared Teresa.

He himself may not care about being harassed by the media, but his daughter must not be harassed by the media. The child cannot understand why so many people come to see her, which will cause a lot of trouble.

So he simply pointed to the girl hiding behind him and said to the reporters: "My daughter, Teresa. Now you scared him, so I decided to refuse to accept your interview. If you have any questions, please wait for me to ask me alone. I hope that in the future, you will not disturb my daughter." After saying this, he pulled his wife and daughter and quickly disappeared at the end of the airport exit.

The reporters realized that Tang En actually had a daughter! And it was obvious that he loved his daughter very much. It seemed that he would have to pay special attention to this when dealing with him in the future...
