Rebirth 90s: Sweetheart Cub

  Chapter 7 I want to adopt Qiqi

  The boy who caught up with the villagers quickly controlled the cattle.

  Chen Jianhe also rushed out from the courtyard, standing in front of the elderly and children with his burly figure.

  The crisis is resolved.

  Zhang Xifeng's legs softened, and he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath, his out-of-focus pupils still couldn't focus.

  Qiqi turned around, pursed her mouth when she saw this, raised her small hand, and patted the old woman's shoulder awkwardly, "Mother-in-law, don't be afraid—"

  As soon as she opened her mouth, her small body was suddenly embraced by the old woman, holding her tightly.

   "You, you son of a bitch, who told you to grab the horns? Huh? How dare you!" Zhang Xifeng cursed with his eyes red.

  Furious, he raised his hand and wanted to hit the baby's little **** hard.

  Thinking of the injuries she saw while bathing her baby, she couldn't stop, and finally slapped her thigh hard.

   I really want to **** her off!

  Qiqi didn't speak.

  She noticed that the old woman who was holding her was trembling all over.

  Holding her in that not-so-thick arms, she had a wonderful feeling.

  It seems that someone has built a small harbor for her, which can shelter from the wind and rain.

  Qi Qi lowered her eyelashes, tentatively placed her small head on the old woman's thin shoulders, wrapped her small arms around the old woman's neck bit by bit.

   "Did you borrow the guts from the sky? Dare to stand up to the bull? You, how can you be so good!—"

   "Grandma, I'm afraid too..." The baby's thin, soft voice rang in Zhang Xifeng's ears.

  Zhang Xifeng opened and closed his mouth, but before he could speak, tears came down first.

  …

  Chen Jianhe’s house has a spacious yard surrounded by high walls.

   There are pigpens and cow pens built inside, and there is a pressurized well near the kitchen.

  Living conditions are better than those of Zhang Xifeng's family.

   It's just that in the courtyard of the Chen family, there is always a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

  Zhang Xifeng took Qiqi to sit in the hall of the Chen family, and they were greeted by Chen Jian and his wife Li Cuifang.

  Qiqi called her Second Aunt.

   "Auntie, is this the child Qiqi? He looks so good-looking." Li Cuifang is in her forties, with a delicate appearance and a soft-spoken voice, but her face looks a little sick.

  Knowing that my aunt was frightened by what happened at the door just now, she didn't mention it again, and started another topic.

  It's a pity that he couldn't get away, Zhang Xifeng still had lingering fears, and his legs were still shaking while sitting in the room.

  When she asked about Qiqi, she snorted angrily, "It's pretty, but also courageous!"

  Speaking cruel words, Zhang Xifeng even glared fiercely at Xiaowaer.

  Little Wa'er pursed her lips and smiled timidly at her.

  Zhang Xifeng, "..." I can't pretend anymore.

  Looking at the interaction between the old and the young, Li Cuifang found it interesting and laughed.

   No wonder my aunt likes this baby, she is really very good, she likes it even when she looks at it.

  At this time, Chen Jianhe had just left the villagers at the door of the house, and strode in, "It's the cow of the old village head's family. I don't know why it suddenly went crazy, but luckily no one was hurt."

  He saw the scene just now with his own eyes, and was shocked into a cold sweat.

   Fortunately, I was lucky in the end.

  Thinking of this, he glanced at the little doll sitting obediently on the stool. He stretched out his big palm fan and stroked the doll's head, "It's a good doll."

   This is Qiqi's first time meeting Chen Jian and his deity, and he has only heard his voice before.

  In Qiqi's eyes, the impression of Chen Erbo was like a mountain.

   Tall and big.

  With thick eyebrows and dark face, he is a bit aggressive when looking at people.

   I don't know if it's because she knew that Uncle Chen had saved her, so she didn't feel afraid of this black-faced uncle, but she still had a sense of kindness in her heart.

   "Chen Erbo." She called.

  Chen Jianhe froze for a moment, the black-faced man's cold and serious face subconsciously softened a bit, and he hummed.

   "Auntie, why are you here at this time? If you need something, just ask someone to call me, and I will go over." Chen Jianhe asked.

Only then did Zhang Xifeng get down to business, "The pig at home is willing to eat in the next afternoon and has no diarrhea anymore. I reckon it's nothing serious, so I just wanted to come over and tell you that I don't have to go to the town to hire someone tomorrow. "

  Pause, Zhang Xifeng got up and walked out, motioning for Chen Jianhe to follow, "There is one more thing, I want to discuss with you."

  Chen Jianhe subconsciously glanced at Xiaowaer and followed.

  The two of them stopped at the door of the kitchen.

  With this distance, the people in the main room can't hear clearly.

   "Auntie, have you made a decision?" Chen Jianhe spoke first.

   Both of them knew what this decision meant.

  Zhang Xifeng nodded.

   "I want to adopt Qiqi." She said, "Since she was picked up by me, it might be fate. After getting along with her for a day, I like that baby more and more. I really can't let her go wandering."

   After she finished speaking, she looked at Chen Jianhe quietly, with determination in her eyes.

  Chen Jianhe was silent for a while, then nodded, "Since Auntie has decided, then it's up to you."

   "You don't object?" Zhang Xifeng was a little surprised.

   After all, when she revealed this idea at noon, Chen Jianhe showed disapproval.

Knowing what his aunt was thinking, Chen Jianhe smiled helplessly, "Auntie, I really didn't agree with you to adopt a baby at first, but I also had my concerns. You are getting old, and the hard earned money you earn throughout the year is only enough for you to eat. , if you raise another person, life will be even harder."

  Raising a doll is not just as simple as adding an extra bowl and a pair of chopsticks at home.

   Besides, apart from herself, my aunt's family doesn't have a lot of labor, and she earns a lot.

  He was afraid that the baby would become a burden to the elderly in the future.

  Second, I am even more afraid that the elderly will be hurt in the future.

   There were people in the surrounding villages who had adopted children before, but what they raised later was a white-eyed wolf.

  When the child grows up, he regards the elderly as a burden and cuts off the grace of nurturing.

  In order to raise the child, the old man worked hard for half his life, but in the end he starved to death on the bed, and was only discovered by his neighbors several days after his death.

"I know what you're worried about." Zhang Xifeng turned to look at the main room with a relieved expression, "I want to raise Qiqi, but it's not for the sake of her repayment in the future. Besides, I'm a widow, a few decades old, and I can still live How many years? It’s just for company and peace of mind.”

  Chen Jianhe also looked at the main room. It was getting dark, but the lights were turned on inside.

   "That baby is a grateful person." He said.

  Chen Jianhe was touched that such a young child could do such a thing in the face of danger.

  His aunt was young and widowed, and after decades of being alone, it might be a good thing to have a baby named Qiqi by her side.

   As for the future, he tried his best to help out, and he could always support one more person.

  Qiqi didn't know about the conversation in front of the kitchen.

   At this time, she had already put a lot of things in front of her, including cane sugar wrapped in colored sugar paper, a small square biscuit, and a small handful of plums covered with hoarfrost.

   They were all taken out by the second aunt.
