Chapter 693
Chapter 693
They were afraid that Lai Zhuang would be left alone and helpless with no one to take care of him after they left, and that would be very miserable.
The doctor said that children with Down syndrome usually do not live beyond 50 years old.
He felt that the old couple could hold on until the day their son passed away.
What if it doesn’t work?
I heard that some children with Down syndrome can live to be over 60 years old, but how long can he and his wife hold on?
Uncle Lai hugged Jiang Han and said, "Ah Han, you are a good boy and a man of your word. I know you can keep your word. But Lai Zhuang—"
It is not Jiang Han's responsibility to take care of Lai Zhuang in his old age and see him to the end of his life.
Jiang Han really doesn't need to go this far.
Over the years, he has seen too many families treat such children as a burden.
Some families cannot afford it, so they send their children to a faraway place like throwing away a puppy, and then quietly return, leaving the child to fend for himself in the distant place.
There are also some girls whose parents can't wait to marry them off to bachelors who can't find a wife.
Even his own parents can abandon their children, Jiang Han really doesn't need to bear all this.
"Uncle Lai, don't think too much. Brother Lai Zhuang was very kind to me when I was little, and he's always helping me now. It's my duty to take care of him."
Jiang Han had originally thought that if Uncle Lai and Aunt Lai passed away before Brother Lai Zhuang, he would take care of Brother Lai Zhuang.
This time when he went out to sea, when a shark attacked, he saw Lai Zhuangge standing firmly in front of him to protect him, and he became more certain of his thoughts.
Even if he doesn't know how to take care of people, he will be able to hire a very good caregiver to take care of Brother Lai Zhuang in the future.
Uncle Lai was so moved that he thought it was a blessing from his previous life that Lai Zhuang could meet Jiang Han.
Jiang Han mentioned the matter of hiring people for the barbecue stall to Uncle Lao Lai again.
Because of Lai Zhuang's incident, Uncle Lai and Aunt Lai no longer interact much with their relatives.
Those people either wanted to make fun of their family or wanted their property.
In a sense, their family is extinct.
They couldn't ask their relatives for help, so after much deliberation, they decided it would be better to hire a reliable and honest person through recruitment.
"Uncle Lao Lai, if it's too hard, I'll quit running this stall after two days."
Uncle Lai shook his head and said, "For the past 20 years, my husband and I have lived for our child, Lai Zhuang. Now we are busy with the barbecue stall to live for ourselves."
They also want to have their own business.
Besides this purpose, Uncle Lai smiled bitterly and said, "If we really pass away before Lai Zhuang, you can help us manage the money that we leave behind. When the time comes, you can hire a reliable caregiver to take care of Lai Zhuang."
After all, their thoughts were still on Lai Zhuang.
Jiang Han understood and did not refuse.
"Don't worry, Uncle Lai, Brother Lai Zhuang will definitely be happy in the future."
Uncle Lai nodded. With Jiang Han's words, he and his wife could close their eyes and leave peacefully when they couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to leave.
After Jiang Han finished the breakfast brought by Uncle Lao Lai, he found that it was time for others to have lunch.
Jiang Han wanted to go out. When he opened the gate, he saw villagers walking around in ancient costumes, and tourists pulling them to take pictures.
Jiang Han had taken off his ancient costume when he was on the boat and he hadn't put it on yet.
Just as he was hesitating whether to go back to wearing ancient costume, the courier arrived at their door.
"Jiang Han, your delivery."
Ten foam boxes were taken down from the courier's cart one after another.
Jiang Han was a little confused. He didn't seem to buy these.
When he saw that the sender was Ming Leshan, he remembered that this was Xin Gaoyang's junior high school classmate.
He also built his cold storage.
Jiang Han had a good impression of this person.
Ming Leshan did say that he would send him taro when it was ripe.
It’s almost November now, and the taro in Fengcheng is indeed ripe.
Jiang Han signed and moved the taro home.
He opened one of the boxes and found taro roots as big as his head.
Taro will go bad if left for too long, so he only left one box for himself.
The rest can be given away.
Jiang Han doesn't like to take advantage of others, and he doesn't know how much a box of taro like this would cost?
I have the impression that Fengcheng’s taro is very famous, so the price is not cheap.
Without knowing the exact price, he would rather give more.
So he transferred 2000 yuan to Ming Leshan.
Ming Leshan was probably busy, so he didn't reply or take the money.
Jiang Han covered his face with his hood. When he went out, he called Jiang Feng, "Sister, I put two boxes of Fengcheng taro in the yard. Come and get them when you have time."
Anyway, my sister has the key to his side.
Jiang Han picked up another box of taro and went out.
He brought Taro to Guan San's place. Guan San had just finished measuring the dimensions of the mountaintop homestay these two days and was just about to go home for dinner.
Seeing Jiang Han bringing something to his door, Guan San quickly invited him to eat together.
Jiang Han smiled and said, "I've already eaten."
The two talked about the mountaintop B&B for a while. Before Jiang Han left, he received a call from Cai Chengyan.
"Jiang Han, the fish collector will be here in half an hour."
Jiang Han didn't expect it to be so fast. Did the person who caught the fish fly to the coast last night and then take a boat here today?
Isn't this too impatient?
Jiang Han didn't think much about it. He went home and took out six boxes of taro.
He put the taro in the trunk.
We first drove around to Uncle Lao Lai’s village.
The small door of Uncle Lao Lai's yard was open, so he put the taro in the yard.
Many people in the village don't close their doors in broad daylight. After all, no one from the same village would break into someone's house and steal things.
No one will take this taro if it is left here.
At this time, Uncle Lao Lai and Aunt Lao Lai must be sleeping, and he wanted to send a message to Uncle Lao Lai.
He saw Lai Zhuang opening the window and smiling at him.
