Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter III Teressa

    The adoption of children is such a thing that they can't hold back the media, so Twain did not sneak up.  China media all know that Twain is coming to China to adopt children, but this celebrity privacy can only be tabloided, and the big media is not published. When did you see Xinhua News Agency and Central TV Station report a celebrity to China to adopt children? no? In fact, there are many foreigners who come to China to adopt children, and there are many foreign celebrities, but the general media is not very reported.

    Foreigner adopts a child in China, even if the formalities are complete, it also needs to pay a large sum of money.  China has a high threshold for foreigners to adopt Chinese children. Even celebrities like Twain have to follow the formalities.  The money to be paid must be paid, and the procedure for the presentation must be presented.  But for Twain, the 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 come to China this time.

    Twain initially defined the scope of adoption in Sichuan.  Without him, he himself is a Sichuanese, has feelings for this land, and has feelings for the children of this land.

    After a round of welfare homes across Sichuan, several children with better conditions were selected, and after a discussion with Shania, a four-year-old girl was selected.  In China, the patriarchal thinking is still very market-oriented in remote and backward places. Many people want to give birth to boys, and they can’t live, so girls either give away or abandon them. There are not many children and boys, and most of them have physical disabilities.  Twain has no idea of ​​patriarchalism, and Shania is even worse.  For them, boys have good boys, girls also have cute girls, but there are many girls in the welfare homes, naturally choose girls to adopt.

    The girl, who is almost five years old, is not as noisy as other children when she sees Twain and Shania, but is very quiet.  Wearing a floral dress from The Reds, sitting in a chair, with big eyes squatting at the two strangers across the street, some fear, like an innocent little animal, cuddly.

    Shania likes her at a glance, and her quiet look is also very popular with Twain.  Because of work, Twain likes to be quiet in life.  So the child who is too noisy doesn't like him very much, but he is quiet about his appetite.  According to the archives of the Welfare Institute, this little girl is a Sichuan Zigong. She was abandoned at the entrance of the welfare home shortly after birth. The parents did not even give the baby a name, except to put her at the entrance of the welfare home. The information has not been left.  Therefore, the welfare home gave her the name Liu Ai and took the homonym of "remaining love."  I hope to keep her love, her birthday is the day the welfare home found her – October 3.

    Since the target has been selected, the adoption process will begin. Once the formalities are completed, Liu Ai has nothing to do with the welfare home.  Will officially become the first child of Twain and Shania, although it is a foster daughter.

    In the process of doing the formalities, Twain discovered how lucky he was – according to the laws of China, the foreigner who wants to adopt a Chinese child must be older than 30 years old and not less than 50 years old.  Twain is still 50 years old after more than two months.  Just as far as the law allows, if he comes two months later, he will not be able to fulfill this wish.

    Twain is a celebrity, even if he is well-known in Zigong, a small town in southern Sichuan. Moreover, the people who accompany him are more famous than the people in China. The world supermodel and Hollywood movie star Shania has long been in the China market. Advertising flat posters and TV commercials have been known to Chinese for a few years.

    Celebrities have a benefit, and their identity is valued by everyone.  The efficiency of the welfare homes and civil affairs departments is also satisfactory.

    It took only one day for Liu Ai to become a child of Twain and Shania.  However, since it is a foreigner child, then there must be a foreign name. Twain has kept Liu Ai’s Chinese name. He and China have an unclear fate. This child is part of it. How can there be no Chinese name? What? Shania is responsible for giving her a foreign name, and she finally chose the word "Teressa" (teresa).  There is a harvester in the Greek language.  Representing the goddess of harvest in the Portuguese language.  This name is often used to describe a beautiful, brunette woman, quiet and direct.  Has a very religious faith.  I don’t want to say anything about it. Other aspects are quite like the image and character of Liu Ai.

    After completing the formalities, the aunts of the Welfare Institute packed up the personal belongings of Liu Ai, now Teressa, and handed them over to the Twain couple.  In fact, there is nothing. It is just some toys and books donated by the community to the welfare homes. There are still a few pieces of clothes. Twain doesn't want to, only leaves toys and books.  Clothes naturally want to buy new ones, how can they wear those old clothes? His daughter is going to dress up beautifully, like a princess.

    Throughout the process, Xiao Liu loves to speak very little, just holding a little bear doll that belongs to him.  This made Twain look more and more happy, and he liked this kind of quiet and sensible child.

    Finally, standing at the entrance of the welfare home, a group of welfare partners came out to see Liu Ai off, was adopted by foreign parents, and then went to a distant foreign country, maybe not seen again in the future, a group of children crying and laughing together Reluctant.  Twain talking to the dean of the welfare home on the other side is nothing more than thanking the Twain couple for adopting such a good love for Liu, and hopes that they can treat Liu Ai well.

    “Twain Mr., Ms. Shania.  Love is usually not very talkative, and she always likes to put a lot of things in her heart instead of telling us.  I know that you are all celebrities, busy with work, but always be careful not to leave her alone.  "Du Ayi, who usually takes care of Liu Ai, seems to be not at ease, specifically told him."  She knows Liu Ai very well, for fear that her character has gone to a strange country, and her language is uncomfortable and unhappy.  There is another worry, she did not say: Twain and Shania are foreigners after all, and they are still celebrities. The marriage of celebrities seems to be dying. What if they love divorce in the future? In addition, who knows whether Twain and Shania in life are really caring and can really love this adoptive girl?

    Twain didn't know that the other person was suspicious of himself. He was still happy to have a daughter, and he was naturally swearing at the other side.  "no problem.  I am retired now.  I can safely bring my daughter at home, ha! ”

    Since Shania does not speak Chinese, the foreign exchanges are all handled by Twain.  Shania just stayed with him and looked at Teressa, who was far away from his friends, and his eyes filled with love.  She always wanted a child, but she and her husband worked hard for nine years without pregnancy.  Can only retreat and second, adopt one.  Now that she has a daughter, her maternal love, which has been suppressed for many years, is sprouting.  In the future, I am afraid that her Uncle Tony will be left out.

    The child was finally rushed by other aunts, and the farewell was over. Teressa, Liu Ai, was brought to Twain and Shania.

    Shania saw tears on her daughter's face, apparently just crying.  She quickly smashed her hand and gently wiped away tears for Teressa, with a trace of sorrow in her eyes and a little grin.  It seems like this short contact.  She and her daughter have already given birth to a spirit, and she is not happy when she sees her daughter unhappy.

    Twain noticed another point – the daughter was very sad when she said goodbye, but after seeing them, she was able to stabilize her emotions, apparently a sensible girl.  He likes it more and more.

    The dean of the welfare home is a woman in her fifties.  I have been working here for more than 20 years, and I have to send away a child.  She also knelt down and rubbed Liu Ai's head.  Whispered softly: "Love, you have dad and mom from today, are you not happy?"

    Xiao Ai loved his head and looked at Twain with his eyes. Then he lowered his eyes and nodded.

    "Grandma wants you to be healthy and happy in United Kingdom.  ”

    The dean stood up and patted Liu Ai’s shoulder and motioned for her to go.

    The little girl slowly took two steps forward.  Going to Twain and Shania, then shyly shouted: "Dad, mother.  ”

    Although it is in Chinese, it is also a Sichuan dialect.  The pronunciation of "Mom" is almost the same in the world. Shania listens clearly. She is very happy to kneel down, hug her daughter and kiss her little face.

    Twain's feelings are not as exposed as his wife, but his smile is very bright.  I have been married to Shania for nine years.  Finally have a child.  Even if he is adopted, he is very content. After all, he always thinks that he has no fertility.  This summer.  He led the team to the World Cup Champion, the highest honor in the world football. After he retired, he had his first child.  This year is the happiest year of his life.

    In this way, Liu Ai, now called Teressa, took her new parents to follow her new parents and left the four-year welfare home to start a new life.

    Twain, who had her first daughter, was in a good mood. Anyway, he finally became a father.  I have no experience in being a father, Twain. I only know that it is right to make my children happy.  So the next day, she took Teressa back to Chengdu to play, took her to see the lively and lovely giant panda, and bought her a lot of panda dolls.  After playing around in Chengdu, I went to Jiuzhaigou to make the little girl who had never been to a welfare home enjoy the beauty of the world.

    During the trip, after a few days of contact, Twain also discovered the problem that the aunt of the Welfare Institute said: Teressa is too quiet, and she doesn't know how to smile happily.  This is not a good habit. If a child does not laugh, it would be terrible.  Twain decided to correct her over-introverted personality. Since it is a child, it must be lively when it is lively.

    So returning from Jiuzhaigou, Twain and Shania took her to the playgrounds of Disneyland and Ocean Park in Hongkong to give her a new experience and happiness.

    After playing in Hong Kong, I went to Beijing. Twain specially took her to Tiananmen to see the flag-raising ceremony.  This is not the arrangement of Twain, it is Teressa's own request.  Because she used to watch the flag-raising ceremony on TV, she would like to go to the scene to see what it is like.  How can the daughter's request be unsatisfied? Twain took her to Tiananmen Square to see the flag-raising ceremony, but also took her to climb the Great Wall, tour the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven and other Beijing places of interest, take her to the zoo to see the lion Tiger, Monkey Elephant, take her to the playground to do roller coaster Ferris wheel, in the roller coaster finally let this always quiet girl screaming up, It was a release of emotion, and after coming down, though a little frightened, Twain saw excitedly in her little face.  Teressa is also the only child in the welfare home who has come to Beijing to play. It is also a wish to represent her friends in the welfare home. I will wash out the photos of this experience and send them back to share with her. .

    Playing a happy circle in China has also enhanced the relationship between the Twain couple and their new daughter. At the very least, Teressa is no longer low and shy when she calls her father and mother, but can be generous with her new parents. get along.

    After the trip to China, Twain and Shania took their daughter directly from China to Brazil, letting Shania's parents go to see their granddaughter.  Shania's parents also like the grandsons who are clever and sensible, even if she is not their daughter's own, but as long as their daughter likes, they like it.  Moreover, they do not have the patriarchal thinking. On the contrary, they have some "heavy women" and prefer girls.

    "But I can't allow Teressa to take my path in the future!"Shania took precautions and set a vow to her parents.  She doesn't ask how much money her daughter will earn in the future, how famous she is, and that kind of thing is too far away.  As long as Teressa's childhood is healthy and happy, it will suffice.

    "She is your daughter, Little Jodie.  You decide.  ”

    Parents are not angry.  For a long time, the best way to know your child is to have a parent.  They all know that their daughter wants a child, but there is nothing to do with Twain.  Now she finally has a daughter through adoption. When she sees her so happy, she will be content with her parents. Where can I consider what my granddaughter’s training plan is…

    Teressa also performed very well. She was very fond of the grandparents and bought her a lot of things and brought them back to the United Kingdom.

    After living in Brazil for a week, Twain and Shania returned to United Kingdom with Teressa.  At the London Heathrow Airport, the Jawanalists of the Twain family were surrounded by the wind, and the scene suddenly became a mess, calling the Airport security guards.  In the flash of a flash and the snoring, Teressa was a little scared and went straight behind Twain.

    This scene also caused Twain to frown, and it seems that these wolf-like media have scared Teressa.

    He himself can not care about being harassed by the media, but his daughter must not be harassed by the media.  The child can't understand why there are so many people coming to see her, which will cause her troubles.

    So he simply pointed to the girl hiding behind him and said to the journalists: "My daughter, Teressa."  Now you are scared of him, so I decided to refuse to accept your interview. If you have any questions, please ask me when you are alone.  I hope that in the days to come, you should not bother my daughter.  After saying this, he took his wife and daughter and quickly disappeared at the end of the Airport exit.

    The reporters responded, and Twain had a daughter! And obviously he loves his daughter very much. It seems that he has to pay special attention to this when he deals with him in the future…
