Chapter 100 Adoption
When Su Qinghe heard Xie Fangming say that he wanted to adopt Xiaoqi, he was not surprised at all.

She knew a little bit about Mr. Xie's family. Mr. Xie's parents passed away a few years ago.

He originally had a fiancée, and the two were childhood sweethearts, but I heard that the fiancée's health was not very good.

Before the two got married, they had passed away due to illness.

I heard that the two loved each other very much. After the beloved passed away, Mr. Xie never thought of getting married again.

It's not that he doesn't want to introduce someone to him, after all, Xie Fangming's own conditions are very good.

Nearly 40 years old, he is well maintained. He looks like he is in his early thirties. He looks like a gentleman, and the temperament of an artist is the most attractive.

In addition to serving as her painting teacher, Xie Fangming also teaches at an art university.

As far as Su Qinghe knew, there were many female students in their university who were secretly in love with Teacher Xie.

"So, the teacher is afraid alone and wants me to go with you?" Su Qinghe tilted her head and asked intentionally.

Being told by Su Qinghe, Xie Fangming smiled and nodded helplessly. It is not a good thing for a child to be too smart.

He really didn't know how to get along with children, and he was a little worried about being rejected.

Since returning from Su's house last week, he has figured it out. After returning, he started to check the information and check the adoption procedures to see if he meets the status of adoption.

He's been going through the adoption process this week, and now it's the last step, and the kid agrees.

"No problem," Su Qinghe had long wanted to see that little Qi, and was a little impatient, "When shall we go?"

"Is Saturday morning okay?"

As one of Su Qinghe's many teachers, he naturally knew that Su Qinghe had a lot of classes on weekends, so he was a little embarrassed when he asked.

"Then it's settled." Su Qinghe nodded without hesitation, of course it's all right.

She could move her Saturday morning dance class to an evening or another time.

Xie Fangming seemed relieved, "I'll pick you up then."

Before leaving, Xie Fangming didn't forget to ask her to bring him the sketch homework for inspection.

The expression on Su Qinghe's face changed immediately, and we could still have a good chat without talking about homework.

"Goodbye." Su Qinghe gave him all the drawings these days, turned and left before he could speak.

She regretted agreeing so early.

Xie Fangming looked at the little girl's sullen back, suddenly he felt much better, and left with a stack of drawing paper.

"Mr. Xie, what's the matter here today?"

In the evening, when the family sat together for dinner, Wang Xiujuan asked.

Su Qinghe was fighting against the beans in the soup bowl. She didn't like beans, not any beans, but there were beans in today's soup.

She wants to scoop up these beans bit by bit, and she is determined not to leave any beans.

Hearing what her mother said, Su Qinghe answered while picking beans. The teacher didn't tell her not to mention it to others, so it should be okay to say it.

Compared to Su Qinghe's acceptance, Wang Xiujuan was obviously a little surprised.

"Why do you suddenly want to adopt a child?"

Su Qinghe thought it was normal, "Teacher will definitely not get married, he is so lonely by himself, it would be nice to have a child to accompany him."

Although according to what the teacher said, that child should say very little, don't let the two people in the family be quieter than one person.

Su Jianguo also agreed with what his daughter said.

"By the way, mom, do you remember the painting we bought last time?"

How could Wang Xiujuan not remember.

"That painting was painted by him."

After finally picking out the beans, Su Qinghe can drink the soup with peace of mind.

Picking up the soup bowl, he took a big sip in satisfaction. It was very fresh and delicious. Su Qinghe drank more than half of the bowl before putting it down.

She still had half a bowl of rice left unfinished.

After listening to what her daughter said, Wang Xiujuan didn't know what to say for a while, and her eating movements slowed down.

Although Su Qingheng who was sitting next to Su Qinghe didn't speak, his quietly pricked up ears and curious eyes gave him away.

"Then the child still has some mental problems?" Wang Xiujuan asked directly because there was no outsider in the family.

Su Qinghe was not surprised that her mother would be so surprised.

"I don't know if Teacher Xie knows?"

If she didn't know, she would quietly remind him.

However, she still tends to be more likely to know. The teacher himself is a painter, so how could he not see something wrong.

"Is it Saturday morning?"

"Hmm." Su Qinghe was speechless with a piece of sweet and sour short ribs in her mouth.

Su Jianguo thought for a while, "When the time comes, Dad will ask his assistant to prepare some things and take them with him."

Wang Xiujuan immediately understood what her husband meant, "Mom will also ask someone to prepare some."

Su Qinghe nodded. She chose to say that because she meant it. Fortunately, her parents understood her.

The Su family donates a lot of money to these places every year, but there are always missing places. It is impossible to take care of all of them, and they can only help some people as much as they can.

Saturday morning.

Su Qinghe was thinking about things, and got up as soon as the alarm clock rang.

Even so, half an hour had passed since Su Qinghe went downstairs.

It's not that she was dawdling on purpose, it's just that her washing movements are a bit slow, and she can't get up quickly.

She will not admit that when she looks in the mirror every day when she washes up, she can't help admiring herself for a while when she sees herself in the mirror.

Accidentally time passed.

The weather outside today is very good, it is a sunny day, and it looks hot.

Su Qinghe wore a streamer skirt, with a white knitted suspender inside, reaching a little above her knees, and colored streamer printed yarn on the outside.

There are many colorful small flowers printed on the gauze skirt, and the sleeves are designed with puff sleeves, which just reach the knee after wearing it.

The slightly curly long hair was casually draped behind the head, and a pearl barrette was pinned to the side of the ear.

While Su Qinghe was having breakfast, the teacher came.

"Have you eaten, Mr. Xie?" Aunt Lin went over with a cup of coffee.

Xie Fangming thanked him for taking the coffee, took a sip, and the mellow aroma of the coffee spread in his mouth.

The tense body can't help but relax.

Su Qinghe was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. Looking at the teacher's different outfits today, he could imagine the scene where he woke up early in the morning and kept picking and changing clothes.

He was afraid that if he dressed too formally, the child would be scared, and he was afraid that if he dressed too casually, the dean would be worried. He must be very conflicted.

Su Qinghe drank the last sip of milk, wiped her mouth clean, and got off the chair.

"Teacher, when are we leaving?" Su Qinghe looked at the time, it was past nine o'clock.

Seeing that Su Qinghe was full, Xie Fangming stopped drinking the coffee in his hand.

"Then let's go." He didn't realize that he was a little nervous when he spoke.

Su Qinghe didn't say anything, for fear that he would become more nervous if he found out.

They were in the Su family's car, and there were many things prepared by Wang Xiujuan and his wife in the trunk of the car.

When Xie Fangming saw the contents of the trunk, he realized that he had forgotten to prepare something for the other children.

In the orphanage, several adults received the news early in the morning that a well-meaning person would come to adopt Xiao Qi today, and they all made preparations early.

In fact, there is nothing ready to do, but whenever a child is taken away, they will be happy for that child.

The children playing in the yard didn't know that their little friend was going to be adopted, and they still played around as usual.

"come yet?"

"Not yet, not yet."

Hearing the movement outside, some people couldn't help but poke their heads to look.

As long as the adopter hasn't come and taken the child away, they can't let go of their hearts.

Finally, after looking at it for an unknown amount of time, a magnificent car stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

Xie Fangming was leading the way in front, pointing the driver to turn around. After turning for an unknown amount of time, the car stopped in front of a dilapidated iron gate.

Sitting in the car, Su Qinghe saw the situation in the yard at a glance, the novelty of the children seeing new things, and the anticipation in the eyes of the adults.

Xie Fangming got out of the car first. The road here is not easy to walk, and it is still muddy. Fortunately, it has not rained these days, and the ground is dry, so there is no danger of mud getting on the shoes.

After he got down, he was not in a hurry to go in first. He still remembered that Su Qinghe was still sitting in the back and took people out of the car first.

When Su Qinghe came down, all eyes in the yard were fixed on her, with curiosity, envy and doubt.

In the eyes of many children, Su Qinghe who got off the car seemed like a fairy in a story.

She was so white, so beautiful, and her skirt was still shining. The group of lively children unconsciously calmed down when they saw Su Qinghe, and their eyes followed Su Qinghe all the time.

When they saw Xie Fangming coming down, some adults had already opened the door to let them in.

The driver also got out of the car and moved the things in the trunk.

Su Qinghe didn't speak after getting off the car.

Xie Fangming thought that he was a little timid suddenly seeing so many children, and he didn't take it to heart, so he led her inside.

He told the few women who came out to greet him that all the things moved out of the car were donated to the orphanage by Su Qinghe's parents.

Hearing that the little girl's parents donated it, several people couldn't stop thanking Su Qinghe.

"The children thank you, and I thank you for these children."

Su Qinghe was a little at a loss, quickly shook her head and took two steps back.

Xie Fangming was anxious and didn't notice the movement here. He found Xiao Qi among the many children at a glance.

But he needs to talk to the dean first.

"Qinghe, do you want to go in with me?" Xie Fangming noticed that something was wrong with Su Qinghe.

Su Qinghe shook her head, "It's fine if I stay outside."

Seeing that she refused, Xie Fangming didn't force her. He followed the dean to the office. He still needed to fill in something.

When the children saw what the driver took down, they didn't bother to look at Su Qinghe, and rushed over to see what it was.

Su Qinghe stood in the middle of the yard, and heard the laughter of children from time to time, and occasionally the shouts of adults.

Looking at this strange orphanage, the orphanage is not very big, but it has been cleaned very well, and some children's graffiti can still be seen on the wall.

On one side of the yard, there is a big drying rack. Taking advantage of the good weather, the quilts and clothes are taken out to dry.

However, Su Qinghe noticed a boy sitting under the tree with a drawing board in front of him

He only has a sharpened pencil in his hand, which is out of place with those children who are watching in the yard with new stationery and new clothes.

He was very serious and concentrated on drawing things, even though the pencil was too short to be able to hold it, and his hand was darkened.

Su Qinghe had already guessed who he was.

Carefully walked to his side, squatted beside him without making a sound, wanting to see what he drew.

But as soon as she squatted down, she saw him suddenly stop writing.

Su Qinghe almost thought she was disturbing him, but it turned out that he was looking ahead, and Su Qinghe glanced at his painting.

Su Qinghe thought for a while, got up and walked to the middle of the yard, took a new pencil, and sharpened it with a pencil sharpener.

When I went back again, I saw that he was still sitting there without moving.

"Here you can—"

When Xiao Qi heard the voice next to her ear, she couldn't help turning her head to look at her.

Su Qinghe was worried that he would be so absorbed in his own world that he wouldn't be able to hear what he said, but he didn't expect him to react.

Su Qinghe was afraid that she wouldn't understand what she said, so she drew for him on the paper she brought together just now. Originally, she wanted to draw directly on his drawing paper.

But everyone's habits are different, and the two of them are not familiar with each other. I was afraid that he would not like it, so I took another piece of paper.

Xiao Qi studied very seriously. He continued to paint after seeing Su Qinghe's painting. When he finished painting, he went to see Su Qinghe, as if asking her if she was right.

"That's right," Su Qinghe nodded with a smile. Although there are still some flaws, "it will be fine if you practice more in the future."

When Xie Fangming came out of the office, he saw two children squatting under the tree together.

And from the looks of it, the two seem to get along pretty well.

From what Su Qinghe said just now, as well as the things she drew, Xiao Qi would look at her after a few strokes, as if seeking her advice.

Su Qinghe was not stingy either, she would speak out when she saw that his paintings were not enough, and draw them on the side.

Su Qinghe also took the opportunity to replace the short pen in his hand with a long one.

"Thank you." Xiao Qi looked at the pen in his hand and thanked her earnestly.

Su Qinghe suddenly heard what he said, and was a little surprised, "You can talk, so why don't you talk?"

She thought he couldn't speak, but she didn't expect to.

Hearing Su Qinghe's words, Xiao Qi was obviously a little stunned, but he really thought about it seriously.

After a while, I seemed to think of the reason, "I don't like talking."

"Why?" Su Qinghe tilted her head, as if she wanted to break the casserole and ask the bottom line.

It was the first time Xiaoqi met someone asking him this, and he thought about it seriously, "I don't know."

Su Qinghe didn't expect that the person who could draw that picture would be a bit stupid, so she suppressed a smile and continued.

"But if you don't talk, others don't know what you're thinking?"

This seemed to baffle Xiao Qi, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out how to answer.

"What are you talking about?" Xie Fangming approached.

Su Qinghe deliberately kept her secret, "I won't tell you."

"Xiaoqi, do you remember me?"

Xiao Qi looked at Xie Fangming and nodded, suddenly he didn't know what he remembered, and glanced at Su Qinghe.

He even opened his mouth to speak, although he was a little unskilled, "Remember."

Afterwards, Xie Fangming asked a question, and Xiao Qi replied.

Xie Fangming didn't know what Su Qinghe said to him just now, but he was a little excited to start talking, so he unconsciously said a few more words.

While they were talking, Su Qinghe left secretly, leaving the place for them.
