Chapter 237 The Differences of Every Child
After being released, Jiang Xiaoran tricked the children who were with her. Whenever someone brought her something delicious or fun, she would take it and tell the people at the orphanage that the children had given it to her willingly.
When the elderly couple saw Jiang Xiaoran, who had lost weight, they looked at each other. The old woman said to the old man, "I think she's the one. This child looks clever."
"It's up to you. I've already said it, as long as you feel a connection with it, that's fine."
It turns out that the elderly couple's son was a policeman who sacrificed his life at the age of 26. The couple had always been late in marriage and childbirth, but after their son's death, they discovered that they were no longer able to have children and had no choice but to consider adoption.
After gradually recovering from the pain of losing their son, the two came to the welfare home with the help of community staff.
When the mothers at the welfare home saw that the elderly couple had their eye on Jiang Xiaoran, they were a little worried, but they still gave Jiang Xiaoran a chance.
Although Jiang Xiaoran was well-behaved, she was different from other children her age. The mothers at the welfare home noticed that she was different from the other children and were about to observe her closely when the elderly couple took a liking to her at first glance.
“Jiang Xiaoran, we know you are very clever, but you lack a bit of integrity. After you go back with them, you must be a kind and upright child. Here, Yao Mama wants to tell you that the couple who took you away had a son who was a hero and sacrificed his life in the fight against the criminals. When you go to their house, you must not bring shame to the martyr's family. Can you do that?”
Yao Hong is the director of this welfare home. Seeing the affection the elderly couple had for Jiang Xiaoran, she called Jiang Xiaoran into her office before leaving and gave her some instructions.
"Headmistress, I understand. I've remembered everything. When I get to my new mom's house, I'll definitely behave well and be a good child they like."
Yao Hong waved her hand: "Go!"
As Yao Hong watched Jiang Xiaoran leave with the Zhong Li couple, worry remained in her eyes.
Lu Mingxuan drove, with Song Qiao in the passenger seat, and the two arrived at the apartment complex where he had bought the house for Wang Cuihua.
Song Qiao called Wang Cuihua, who answered, "Little Song, Yao Yao is changing clothes and will be downstairs soon."
Wang Cuihua's injuries haven't fully healed yet, and she can only recuperate at home. Zhang Yao usually picks Tong Yao up from school every day.
After getting his driver's license, Zhao Yao quickly became familiar with driving.
Hearing Wang Cuihua and Song Qiao on the phone, Tong Yujun, sitting in his wheelchair, reminded Tong Yao, "Yao Yao, have you changed your clothes? Don't keep your mother waiting."
"All right!"
The child, who was not yet six years old, did everything himself. Every time the couple saw other people's children, who were five years old and were still being carried and pampered by their mothers, they felt very ashamed.
"Mom and Dad, do you think this outfit looks good on me?"
Tong Yao always came out of the room wearing the down jacket that Song Qiao had bought for her last time, with a skirt underneath, and her slender legs were covered by sheer tights.
Wang Cuihua nodded happily when she saw Tong Yao's outfit: "Beautiful! I've seen other people's babies dressed like this before, but I never thought my Yao Yao could wear such a pretty dress."
Tong Yujun looked at Tong Yao with satisfaction and said, "Go quickly, your parents are getting impatient."
Tong Yao agreed, said goodbye to Tong Yujun and his wife, and ran out.
“Cuihua, Yaoyao is about to start school. I think we should let go and let her go back to Song Qiao. It's better for the child.” Tong Yujun said to Wang Cuihua on the sofa as he watched Tong Yao wave goodbye.
With the couple like this, it's not like the children are taking care of them anymore, let alone the nursery rhymes.
"But I can't bear to part with Yao Yao."
Wang Cuihua did not agree, and tears streamed down her face after she finished speaking.
"We can't tie our child down for life and ruin her future."
A few days ago, my neighbor came over for a visit. She talked about her daughter's child and complained a lot about how she enrolled the child in all sorts of extracurricular classes, including painting, music, and dance. Her daughter said that nowadays, which child doesn't have some kind of talent? How will they survive in society in the future?
It was because of his neighbor's words that Tong Yujun thought of all this.
“If Yao Yao stays with Song Qiao, she can also enroll in extracurricular classes and learn a lot. I think we should let her go.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Cuihua nodded tearfully, "We'll discuss it with Yao Yao when she comes back."
"What's there to discuss? Yao Yao is so sensible, she definitely won't agree. Why don't we go and stay at our old house for a while?"
Wang Cuihua looked at her husband in the wheelchair for a long time before finally nodding, "Okay! Let's get ready."
Tong Yao came downstairs and saw Song Qiao and Lu Mingxuan standing by the car. She ran over and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm here."
When Song Qiao saw Tong Yao, she opened her arms and waited for her to run over.
After the little figure jumped into her arms, it looked at her and asked, "Are you happy to go to Grandpa's house tonight?"
It was Tong Yao's first time visiting Yushan, and Lu Wenguang had described the mountain so beautifully that she nodded in agreement and ran off happily, exclaiming, "We're going to Grandpa's house!"
"Let's go then!"
Lu Mingxuan opened the car door for the two of them, and Song Qiao took Tong Yao's hand and got into the car.
"Let's go, we're about to set off."
The happiest person today is Lu Mingxuan. After so many years of hard work, he finally married the person he loves and got their marriage certificate.
"Yaoyao, I have good news for you. Your mom and I got our marriage certificate." Lu Mingxuan turned around and glanced at Tong Yao.
"Really? Congratulations on your marriage, Mom and Dad!" Tong Yao sat up straight in the car, her eyes brimming with undisguised joy.
Song Qiao cupped Tong Yao's little face in her hands: "Thank you, baby!"
An hour later, Lu Mingxuan drove the car into the mountains. Along the road at the foot of the mountain, Song Qiao opened the window a crack and introduced to Tong Yao: "See this? This is Jade Mountain, where Grandpa lives."
"Is this Jade Mountain? It's so beautiful."
As the car drove along the mountain road, the surrounding trees and rocks appeared closer and farther away in her vision. For the first time, Tong Yao experienced the joy of a five-year-old child.
The soft light of the setting sun shone on the car window, and the nursery rhyme restored the child's innocent and carefree expression.
When the family of three arrived home, Lu Xinjun and Qiao Hongwei were already there.
Lu Wenguang, Yun Miao, Lu Xinjun, and Qiao Hongwei were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Yunmiao, show them the paternity test results!"
Since returning home, Lu Wenguang has been in a bad mood. He didn't give his son a kind look, not to mention his daughter-in-law.
"Whose paternity test is this?"
Lu Xinjun looked at the old man and asked.
"Mine, the paternity test results for me and my son."
Yun Miao's expression was also very serious tonight. She and her master had agreed that they would talk about this matter before Lu Mingxuan returned.
"Your son? You've found him?"
Lu Xinjun looked at Yun Miao and asked curiously.
“Found him. He’ll be back tonight with my daughter-in-law.”
Yun Miao, who is usually not very talkative, sat there talking the whole time tonight, while Qiao Hongwei sat on the sofa without saying a word.
What does it matter to Yunmiao whether she finds her son or not? She only cares about her daughter and whether she can stay by her side in the future.
