Chapter 230 Adopting a Child
Chapter 230 Adopting a Child
"Sister, Zeng Youfu knows that you are getting married."
Although Zeng Youfu stopped and glared at Qin Hanmei from a long distance away from the noodle stall, Yun Jiaojiao still sensed his resentment towards Qin Hanmei.
"If Zeng Youfu knew this news, the entire Zeng family would know it."
"Given how shameless the Zeng family is, they'll definitely come to your house and make trouble in the next couple of days."
Yun Jiaojiao frowned slightly.
I was a little worried about Qin Hanmei's safety.
"Sister, I'll move to your house to accompany you."
"Need not."
"I appreciate your kindness."
Qin Hanmei smiled and rejected Yun Jiaojiao's kindness.
"You and Captain Xie are newlyweds, and you move into my house to be with me, leaving Captain Xie alone in an empty house. How can this be justified?"
"My marriage to A Biao will eventually reach the ears of the Zeng family."
"The Zeng family is powerful, and I, your eldest sister, am no pushover either."
Qin Hanmei is rolling noodles.
As she spoke, she waved the rolling pin in her hand a few times.
"If the Zeng family dares to come to my house and make trouble, I will use the rolling pin as a dog-beating stick."
"I know my eldest sister is powerful, but two hands can't beat four fists, not to mention that the Zeng family has more than four fists."
No matter what Qin Hanmei said, Yun Jiaojiao felt uneasy.
"Sister, if you don't let me go to your house to accompany you, you can let Captain Zhao stay overnight."
"Anyway, you two have done everything you should and shouldn't have done."
"..."
Is this something that can be said outside?
Qin Hanmei looked around with a red face.
Only after she was sure that no one else had heard what Yun Jiaojiao had just said did the blush on her face fade away.
"to make."
"A Biao will come to the noodle stall to help out later. I'll discuss it with him."
"It's not a negotiation."
"It is necessary to let Captain Zhao stay overnight."
"If Captain Zhao can't stay overnight, I'll move in with you for a few days."
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely let A Biao stay overnight."
Qin Hanmei didn't want Yun Jiaojiao to worry about her anymore, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Today, my second sister and Captain Xiao went to the orphanage to inquire about adoption. I wonder how things went for them."
"Hey!"
Qin Hanmei sighed as she spoke.
"How could a man as tall and strong as Captain Xiao be suffering from asthenospermia?"
......
Jiangcheng Red Star Orphanage.
"Captain Xiao, Comrade Lin Qingluo, you two meet the adoption requirements, but adopting a child is no small matter. Is this a spur-of-the-moment decision, or one that has been carefully considered?"
"If this is a decision made after careful consideration, I will take you two to see the child right now."
"We happen to have a boy of eight or nine years old in our orphanage."
"Dean, please take us to see the child."
Lin Qingluo looked at the director of the orphanage with a firm gaze, and the tone of her voice was even more resolute than her eyes.
"Adopting a child was a decision that my husband and I made after careful consideration."
"We will definitely treat the child well and do our best to raise him. Even if we have our own children in the future, we will not treat them unfairly in the slightest."
"Please rest assured, Dean."
"I naturally trust the character of Captain Xiao and Comrade Lin. I am relieved that the child is with you two."
The dean smiled and stood up from his chair.
"The children should have finished their second morning class by now."
"Please follow me, both of you."
Xiao Yanlin and Lin Qingluo followed the dean's footsteps closely.
Under the guidance of the director, the two came to the classroom where the children in the orphanage studied.
During the break, a dozen children were chasing and playing in the classroom, but there was only one boy of eight or nine years old sitting in his seat, still holding his Chinese textbook in his hands.
The little boy frowned slightly, his expression serious, and he looked attentively.
The dean led Lin Qingluo and Xiao Yanlin into the classroom without even letting the little boy look up.
Xiao Yanlin and Lin Qingluo's eyes fell on the little boy at the same time.
After Lin Qingluo looked at the little boy for a few times, she was surprised to find that the boy's eyebrows were somewhat similar to Xiao Yanlin.
"Xiao Yanlin, I found that little guy looks a lot like you."
Lin Qingluo pulled Xiao Yanlin's arm in surprise.
Xiao Yanlin was frightened by her words.
"Wife, I swear to God, I have never done anything to let you down."
"I have nothing to do with that little guy."
"Wife, you must trust me."
Xiao Yanlin's anxious explanation made the dean laugh.
It is said that Xiao Yanlin and Xie Zhennan are the two aces of the Jiangcheng Military Region, but the aces are actually so afraid of their wives.
"That little guy really has nothing to do with Captain Xiao."
The dean helped Xiao Yanlin explain.
"The little guy's name is Fanfan. He was sent to our Red Star Orphanage when he was four years old."
"Fanfan once had a happy and harmonious family, with parents who loved him dearly. But a fire three years ago destroyed everything."
"Fanfan's grandparents, father and mother were all burned to death."
"When the child was rescued, he was only breathing his last breath."
The dean's words made Lin Qingluo and Xiao Yanlin unconsciously show a distressed look towards Fanfan.
"Why!"
The dean sighed heavily.
"Although the child survived, the fire caused great trauma to the child. The child, who was less than eight years old, spent all his time reading except eating and sleeping. He was not talkative and did not play with other children."
"But this child is very smart and his thinking ability is much better than other children."
"Captain Xiao, Comrade Lin, the little boy I was talking about is Fanfan."
The dean had a hunch that Xiao Yanlin and Lin Qingluo could change the little boy's character, so he strongly recommended the little boy to Lin Qingluo and Xiao Yanlin.
"Fanfan looks like Captain Xiao, which proves that he and Captain Xiao and Comrade Lin are destined to be together."
"Captain Xiao, Comrade Lin, if you two like Fanfan, I'll bring him over and have a few words with you."
"Need not."
"Dean, I'll go there myself."
Lin Qingluo really likes this child who looks like Xiao Yanlin.
She couldn't give birth to a child with Xiao Yanlin in this life, but it would be nice to raise a child who looked like Xiao Yanlin.
Maybe this is God's compensation to her.
"Fanfan."
"Your name is Fanfan, right?"
Lin Qingluo walked straight to Fanfan and greeted him in a gentle voice.
"My name is Lin Qingluo."
"Nice to meet you."
Lin Qingluo said as she extended her hand in front of Fanfan.
Fanfan, who had been staring at the Chinese textbook, finally looked up at Lin Qingluo.
Lin Qingluo didn't look at the other children, but walked straight over, and the way she greeted them made the little guy feel respected.
Unlike other adopters who were picking and choosing in the classroom, he felt like a piglet waiting to be sold.
"Hello Aunt Lin."
Fanfan stretched out his little hand and held Lin Qingluo's big hand.
"Auntie Lin wants to adopt me?"
"Yes."
Lin Qingluo curled the corners of her mouth and smiled brightly.
The child is very smart, and the dean is not exaggerating.
"My husband's name is Xiao Yanlin. He's a serving soldier in the Jiangcheng Military Region Army Field Force. I currently run a noodle stall with my sister, so we should have no problem supporting our children. Fanfan, are you willing to come home with me?"
