Chapter 232 Remember to prepare gifts
"Fanfan, do you want to ride a big horse?"
After coming out of the orphanage, Lin Qingluo asked Fanfan.
Fanfan raised her head and looked at the tall and handsome man beside her, her big eyes full of longing.
I haven't ridden a horse for a long time.
The last time he rode a horse was when his parents took him to the zoo.
"Do not want to."
Fanfan tried hard to hide the longing in his eyes and shook his head at Lin Qingluo.
"Dad's shoulders are for carrying guns and defending our country."
"Dad's shoulders can carry guns and defend our country, and they can also carry you and mom."
Xiao Yanlin bent down, picked up the child, and placed him on his shoulders with skillful movements.
"If you want to ride a big horse in the future, just tell Dad."
"Thank you dad."
Fanfan sat on Xiao Yanlin's shoulder, with the corners of his mouth raised high and his eyes curved into crescents.
"Mom and Dad, please give me a name."
Fanfan knew very well that the children in the orphanage would change their names after being adopted and take their adoptive father's surname.
Lin Qingluo: "Did your parents give you the name Fanfan?"
"Fanfan is my nickname."
Fanfan turned his head and looked at Lin Qingluo.
"My biological parents gave me the name Chen Yifan."
"One sail, smooth sailing."
"Fanfan's parents are really good at naming, and they really love Fanfan."
Lin Qingluo raised her hand and touched the back of Fanfan's head.
"From now on, you can be called Xiao Yifan."
"Xiao Yifan, I like this name very much."
Fanfan grinned and laughed happily.
He took his adoptive father's surname and added his biological father's name, so that he could remember his biological parents for the rest of his life.
"thanks Mom."
"You're welcome. As long as you like the name your mother gave you."
Lin Qingluo: "Today, Mom and Dad will take you to meet the two aunts first. When Mom and Dad are free, we will take you to the mall to buy new clothes."
"thanks Mom."
"But I have clothes to wear, so Mom doesn't have to buy me new clothes."
Fanfan pointed to the old clothes on his body.
"The old clothes that the director's grandmother gave me are very warm."
Lin Qingluo looked at Fanfan's cotton-padded jacket, which had been washed white, and felt distressed.
In the 1980s, living conditions in orphanages were poor. A cotton-padded jacket had to be worn for five or six years. Older children could no longer wear it, so it was given to younger children. The jacket would not be thrown away until it was too worn out.
The jacket Fanfan was wearing looked like it was three or four years old.
How can a three or four-year-old coat keep you warm?
This kid is just afraid of spending their money.
What a sensible and well-behaved child.
"Let's not talk about buying clothes for now. Let's go find our two aunts first."
"Ask Auntie to cook delicious beef noodles for Fanfan."
How can growing children resist the temptation of delicious food?
When Fanfan heard Lin Qingluo talk about the delicious beef noodles, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, a family of three came to the Qingshi Lane noodle stall.
The noodle stall didn't have much business at that time. Yun Jiaojiao, Qin Hanmei, Zhao Biao and Aunt Lanhua were sitting around a dining table chatting.
Hearing the footsteps, the four people thought it was a guest and turned their heads in unison.
"Second sister, Captain Xiao, you are back."
After Qin Hanmei greeted Lin Qingluo and Xiao Yanlin, she shifted her gaze to the child.
"This child is really handsome."
"Look carefully, this child's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Captain Xiao's."
If Qin Hanmei hadn't said anything, Yun Jiaojiao wouldn't have noticed.
After hearing what Qin Hanmei said, Yun Jiaojiao looked at the child carefully for a few seconds, and then two sharp gazes fell on Xiao Yanlin.
"Third sister, stop staring at me like that."
Yun Jiaojiao's sharp gaze left Xiao Yanlin speechless.
"I've never done anything to let Luoluo down."
"It's pure coincidence that this child looks like me."
"Lolo, please explain to me quickly."
"My dear girl, this child is not Xiao Yanlin's."
Lin Qingluo: "This child's surname is Chen, and he has his own parents."
Lin Qingluo explained for Xiao Yanlin, and Yun Jiaojiao then retracted her fierce gaze and looked away from Xiao Yanlin with a smile on her face.
"Carrot, what's the child's name and how old is he?"
"Hello, aunts. My name used to be Chen Yifan, but now I'm Xiao Yifan. My nickname is Fanfan, and I'm seven and a half years old."
Fanfan let go of Lin Qingluo and Xiao Yanlin's hands, walked up to Yun Jiaojiao and Qin Hanmei, and took the initiative to greet them.
"Hello, uncle."
"Hello grandma."
After greeting Yun Jiaojiao and Qin Hanmei, he turned around and greeted Aunt Zhao Biao Lanhua.
Aunt Lanhua loves children, and she was very happy to see such a well-behaved, sensible and polite child.
"This kid is really good."
Aunt Lanhua walked up and took Fanfan's little hand.
"Are you hungry? Grandma will cook noodles for you."
Fanfan did not respond to Aunt Lanhua immediately, but turned to look at Lin Qingluo and Xiao Yanlin.
Lin Qingluo walked forward and gently placed a hand on Fanfan's shoulder.
"Fanfan, this is your aunt and your uncle."
Lin Qingluo pointed at Qin Hanmei and Zhao Biao.
"This is your third aunt."
“This is Grandma Orchid.”
"You also have a third uncle. Your first and third uncles are active soldiers in the Jiangcheng Army Field Force, just like your father."
"This noodle stall is run by mom and your eldest and third aunts."
"Our noodle stall sells beef noodles, egg noodles, pea noodles, and knife-cut noodles. Fanfan can have whatever noodles he wants."
After getting Lin Qingluo's permission, Fanfan finally spoke to Aunt Lanhua boldly: "Grandma Lanhua, I want to eat egg noodles."
"This kid has a really good memory."
"Grandma Lanhua will go cook noodles for you right now."
Aunt Lanhua turned around and walked towards the stove with a smile on her face.
After a while, Aunt Lanhua brought three bowls of steaming noodles to Lin Qingluo's family of three.
Fanfan's eyes lit up when he saw two poached eggs and a few pieces of beef on the noodles.
"Thank you, Grandma Orchid."
Seeing that there were no fried eggs in Lin Qingluo and Xiao Yanlin's bowls, he used chopsticks to cut one of the fried eggs into two pieces, one for Lin Qingluo and the other for Xiao Yanlin.
Children aged seven or eight are very greedy.
His action stunned Lin Qingluo and Xiao Yanlin.
Yun Jiaojiao, Qin Hanmei, Zhao Biao and Aunt Lanhua were also stunned for a moment.
"Mom and Dad, you guys eat too. One is enough for me."
Qin Hanmei's lips curled up into a relieved smile.
"This child is so filial."
"Yes."
Yun Jiaojiao nodded in agreement with Qin Hanmei's words.
I felt happy for Lin Qingluo and Xiao Yanlin.
After the family of three had filled their stomachs, Yun Jiaojiao walked to Lin Qingluo and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Carrot, have the adoption procedures for this child been completed?"
"For such a big happy event, would you and Captain Xiao like to set up two tables to celebrate?"
Xiao Yanlin: "Celebrate, we must celebrate."
"Tomorrow at noon, Luoluo and I will take the child to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register his household registration. In the afternoon, we will set up two tables at the military district guesthouse. Remember to prepare a gift for my son."
