Reborn Nine Zero Sweetheart Cub

Chapter 7 I want to adopt Qiqi

The boy and the villagers who caught up quickly controlled the cow.

Chen Jianhe also rushed out of the courtyard, his burly figure standing in front of an old man and a young child.

Crisis resolved.

Zhang Xifeng's legs went weak and she sat down on the ground, panting heavily, her unfocused eyes still unable to focus.

Qiqi turned around, pursed her lips when she saw this, raised her hand, and patted the old woman's shoulder awkwardly, "Mother-in-law is not afraid -"

As soon as she opened her mouth, her little body was suddenly pulled into the old woman's arms and held tightly.

"You, you bastard, who asked you to grab the horns of a cow? Ah? Where did you get the courage!" Zhang Xifeng's eyes were red, and she cursed in a choked voice.

I was so angry that I raised my hand and wanted to slap the baby's little butt several times.

I thought about the injuries I saw when I was giving the baby a bath, but I couldn't take my hands off, so I finally slapped my own thigh hard.

I really want to piss her off!

Qiqi said nothing.

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

She had a wonderful feeling being held in that not-thick embrace.

It was as if someone had opened a small harbor for her to shelter her from the wind and rain.

Qiqi lowered her eyelashes, rested her little head tentatively on the old woman's thin shoulder, crossed her little hands, and hugged the old woman's neck little by little.

"Are you borrowing your courage from God? Dare you go toe-to-toe with a bull? You, how can you be so capable! -"

"Mother-in-law, I'm scared too..." The baby's thin, soft voice rang in Zhang Xifeng's ears.

Zhang Xifeng's mouth opened and closed, but tears fell first before the words came out.

…

Chen Jianhe's courtyard is spacious and surrounded by high walls.

There were pig pens and cattle pens built inside, and there was a pressurized water well near the kitchen.

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

It's just that there is always a strong smell of Chinese medicine floating in the Chen family's yard.

Zhang Xifeng and Qiqi sat in the main room of the Chen family. The people who greeted them were Chen Jian and his daughter-in-law Li Cuifang.

Qiqi called her "Second Auntie".

"Aunt, is this the child from Qiqi? He's so good-looking." Li Cuifang is in her forties, has a delicate appearance, speaks softly and is gentle, but her face looks a little sick.

Knowing that her 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 Zhang Xifeng couldn't get away. Zhang Xifeng still had lingering fears, and her legs were still shaking while sitting in the room.

When she asked about Qiqi, he snorted angrily, "He's good-looking, but he's also brave!"

After saying harsh words, Zhang Xifeng also glared at the little kid pretending to be fierce.

The little kid pursed his lips and smiled timidly at her.

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

Li Cuifang watched the interaction between the old and the young, finding it interesting, and burst out laughing.

No wonder my aunt likes this baby, he is indeed very well-behaved and she likes him just by looking at him.

At this time, Chen Jianhe had just dismissed the villagers in front of his house and strode in. "It's the old village chief's cow. I don't know why it suddenly went crazy. Fortunately, no one was hurt."

He had witnessed 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 baby sitting obediently on the stool. He stretched out his big hand and stroked the baby's head, "He is a good baby."

This was the first time I had seen Chen Jianhe. I had only heard his voice before.

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

Tall and big.

He has thick eyebrows and a dark face, and looks a bit fierce when he looks at people.

She didn't know if it was because she knew that Erbo Chen had saved her, so she didn't feel afraid of this black-faced uncle, and instead felt a sense of intimacy in her heart.

"Uncle Chen," she called.

Chen Jianhe was stunned for a moment. The dark-faced man's cold and serious face unconsciously softened a little, and he hummed.

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

Only then did Zhang Xifeng remember the business, "The pig at home is willing to eat in the afternoon and has no diarrhea anymore. I guess it's nothing serious, so I just wanted to come over and tell you that there is no need to go to the town to invite people tomorrow."

"

After a pause, Zhang Xifeng stood up and walked out, motioning for Chen Jianhe to follow, "There is something else I want to discuss with you."

Chen Jianhe glanced at the little baby subconsciously and followed him.

The two of them stopped when they reached the door of the kitchen.

At this distance, the people in the talking room could not hear clearly.

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

Both men knew what this decision meant.

Zhang Xifeng nodded.

"I want to adopt Qiqi." She said, "Since she was picked up by me, it may be fate. After getting together for a day, I fell in love with that baby more and more, and I really couldn't let her wander."

After 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 let it be as you wish."

"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 said with a helpless smile, "Aunt, I really didn't agree with you adopting a baby at first, but I do have my concerns. You are old, and what you earn all year round is only enough for yourself.

, if we raise another person, life will be even harder."

Raising a baby is not just as simple as adding an extra bowl and a pair of chopsticks to your home.

What's more, apart from herself, my aunt's family doesn't have much labor force, so the things she earns are limited.

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 harmed in the future.

There were families in the surrounding villages who had adopted children before, but the ones they raised turned out to be white-eyed wolves.

When children grow up, they regard the elderly as a burden and completely cut off the grace of upbringing.

In order to raise that child, the old man worked hard for half his life, but in the end he starved to death in bed. His death was not discovered by his neighbors until several days later.

"I know what you're worried about." Zhang Xifeng turned to look at the main room with a clear and relieved expression, "I want to raise Qiqi, not because I want her to repay her in the future. Besides, I am a widowed old woman, who is dozens of years old, and I can still live.

How many years? Just for companionship and peace of mind."

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

"That kid knows how to be grateful," he said.

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

His aunt was young and widowed, and had lived alone for decades. Now it might be a good thing to have a kid like Qiqi by her side.

As for the future, if he tries his best to help, he can always support one more person.

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

At this time, there were many things placed in front of her, including cane sugar wrapped in colorful sugar paper, a small square piece of biscuits, and a small handful of plums covered with frost.

They were all taken out by the second aunt.
