Scholars in the courtyard

After passing the hanging flower gate, Yang Xiaotao saw several people around Wangcai in his yard. At first glance, they were Ran Qiuye and Cuiping.

Yang Xiaotao was also stunned when he saw Ran Qiuye.

Because today is not the weekend, the children have gone to the nursery and no one is needed at home.

However, Yang Xiaotao reacted quickly. No matter what, it is better to be at home now.

When Yang Xiaotao appeared in the middle court, Ran Qiuye saw him at a glance.

She came back yesterday to report to her superiors. Today, she cleaned up at home and prepared to send some unused clothes and things to the street office.

There is a donation point there to donate money and materials to the disaster area.

When Yang Xiaotao is not at home, she has to support it.

But she didn't expect that Wangcai would come back, and she knew in her heart that Yang Xiaotao was back.

Sure enough, when she saw the figure appearing at the hanging flower gate, her heart, which had been hanging for a while, finally settled down.

But her eyes quickly saw the little girl holding Yang Xiaotao's hand, and a hint of doubt appeared on her face.

But it was just a hint of doubt.

They walked quickly to the front, and the two smiled in front of the big locust tree. Then Ran Qiuye took the bag from Yang Xiaotao and walked into the yard.

"Did you come back today?"

Ran Qiuye spoke first, and Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I came back just after getting off the bus in the morning!"

The two entered the door, and Cuiping and others around them followed.

They all saw Yang Xiaotao holding the little girl's hand all the time, and their intuition told them that there was something wrong.

Sure enough, after entering the house, Yang Xiaotao pulled Miaomiao in front of him.

Ran Qiuye's face also became solemn, and her brows were slightly wrinkled, but she was calmly waiting for Yang Xiaotao to speak.

Because she knew that her husband was not the kind of person who would do anything wrong.

And once he decided something, there must be a reason.

"Qiuye, this is Miaomiao!"

Yang Xiaotao said, and everyone looked at the little girl in front of Yang Xiaotao.

She was dressed ordinary, just like a girl in the countryside.

But this girl's eyes were big and clear, and there was more curiosity in her eyes when she looked at her.

But the little hand holding the backpack was obviously more nervous.

"Miaomiao is from Shicheng, this earthquake..."

Yang Xiaotao slowly opened his mouth and told Miaomiao's situation.

When talking about the scene where Miaomiao appeared beside him, Ran Qiuye's heart seemed to be grasped, her breathing became heavy, and her nose was a little sour.

Miaomiao thought of her lost home and her lost father, tears flowed from her eyes and covered her little face.

The people around him were also in a heavy mood after hearing this.

Cuiping even raised her head and sighed, just like the war orphans she had seen before.

However, it is better than the war orphans, at least there are people who can adopt them, at least there are arrangements by the country.

When Yang Xiaotao told the final arrangements for these children, before he could tell his decision, Ran Qiuye had leaned over, reached out to wipe the tears from Miaomiao's face, and then hugged her, exuding the radiance of motherhood, "Miaomiao, welcome to our home!"

Miaomiao raised her head and looked at Ran Qiuye, then saw the tears in the corners of her eyes, and her face was full of care.

A warmth she had never felt before was born from the bottom of her heart, just like the motherly love she had lost, and she found it again at this moment.

Wow...

The next second, Miaomiao hugged Ran Qiuye's neck and cried bitterly.

Ran Qiuye felt the sadness and grievance in Miaomiao's cry, and felt more pity in her heart, reaching out to touch Miaomiao's back.

Cuiping and others beside her watched quietly, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

Wang Dashan's family on the side covered their mouths and cried, feeling uncomfortable in their hearts, looking at Yang Xiaotao and said, "This child is the same as you!"

Ran Qiuye listened and saw that Yang Xiaotao's eyes were a little red, and she instantly understood what was going on.

The same, lost their mother early.

The same, lost their father who depended on each other for life.

The same, lonely and helpless.

Perhaps, this is why Yang Xiaotao wants to adopt this child!

At this moment, she seemed to see the shadow of her man's childhood in Miaomiao.

At this moment, she made up her mind that she would never let her man remember those sad memories.

She hugged Miaomiao tightly, and then reached out to wipe her tearful face.

"Miaomiao, are you hungry? Mom will cook for you!"

When Miaomiao heard that word, tears flowed out of her eyes again.

"I, I have a mother, I have a mother!"

"Yes, from now on, I am your mother, and he is your father."

"We have brothers and sisters, and there are many people in our family."

"From now on, you are my daughter, my eldest daughter!"

After saying that, she wiped Miaomiao's tears and walked into the house with her in her arms.

When everyone heard Ran Qiuye say this, they thought it was true.

With Ran Qiuye's usual personality and attitude towards things, they had already thought of this result.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xiaotao felt relaxed and moved.

Although he was confident in Ran Qiuye's attitude, when this moment came, Yang Xiaotao was still grateful to Ran Qiuye.

And this gratitude was soon replaced by knowing and loving each other.

Perhaps, this is the effect of a marriage with the same values.

He never worries about conflicts at home, nor does he get distracted by them.

"Xiao Yang, you did a good job on this!"

Cuiping took a deep breath and gave Yang Xiaotao a thumbs up.

"Sister Cuiping, if it were you, you would have made the same choice when you saw that scene!"

"Oh, it's too miserable!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Cuiping and others fell silent at the same time.

"Where's Lao Yu?"

"Busy!"

Cuiping didn't know where this guy had gone, but he could count the days he was home on his fingers.

"Come over for dinner tonight, and I'll introduce you to my daughter!"

Yang Xiaotao said with a smile. Cuiping glanced at the mother and daughter sitting together in the room and nodded immediately, "It must be lively! My Lao Yu hid a jar of good wine and gave it to him to drink tonight. not coming back!"

As Cuiping said, Yang Xiaotao thought of something. This wine must have been given by the old Taoist.

"No, no, I have wine at home..."

"It's okay, he can't drink much anyway!"

Cuiping said nonchalantly. Before Yang Xiaotao could speak, the Wang Dashan family also smiled, "Yes, this is a great event for our courtyard."

"I'll ask the boss to get some pig water later, and welcome the new members of our courtyard tonight!"

"Okay, then I'll knead the dough and make steamed buns..."

The little daughter-in-law of the Liu family was also talking to the side, and the people around her responded immediately.

In the past two years, the status of the machinery factory has improved, and the welfare benefits of workers have also become higher and higher.

They are also third-level workers. In terms of wages, the machinery factory is the same as other factories, but the benefits are definitely very different.

Of course, these benefits are earned by the workers themselves.

Compared with other factories where foreign workers spend most of the month dawdling, workers in the machinery factory are not only extremely busy, but also often work overtime.

Therefore, the superiors not only know about this kind of benefits, but also grant special rewards after completing the tasks.

So I heard that when Yang Xiaotao wanted to set the table, everyone was not stingy. That was quite generous.

After talking to everyone, Yang Xiaotao walked into the room.

Ran Qiuye and Miao Miao were guarding the stove, Miao Miao was in charge of lighting the fire, and Ran Qiuye was scrambling eggs.

"Miaomiao. What's your name?"

Miao Miao looked up at Ran Qiuye, "Fu Jianhua!"

"Jianhua, building China, what a good name!"

Ran Qiuye smiled, then looked at Miaomiao, "From now on, my name will be Yang Jianhua, okay?"

"okay!"

Miaomiao did not refuse, because this was her new life.

"Okay, Yang Jianhua, after dinner, mom will take you shopping!"

Ran Qiuye looked at the dusty clothes on his body and said lovingly.

Soon, the scrambled eggs were ready. Ran Qiuye filled two bowls and placed them in front of Yang Xiaotao and Miaomiao.

"You two eat first, I'll make some noodles!"

"No, just eat something. I'll cook a sumptuous meal for everyone tonight!"

Yang Xiaotao pulled Ran Qiuye and sat aside.

Ran Qiuye did not refuse, sitting next to Miaomiao and watching quietly.

"Eat quickly, if you don't have enough, we still have some at home!"

"This child is six years old? He hasn't even started the Dragon Boat Festival yet, and his arms are as thin as corn stalks. How much hardship must he have endured!"

Ran Qiuye couldn't help but said, took out another piece of ham from the cupboard and put it in Miao Miao's bowl.

"Mom, I've had enough. I can't eat so much. Let's keep it for my younger brothers and sisters..."

Miaomiao took out the ham. She had heard her father talk about it before, but she had never eaten it.

Ran Qiuye smiled, "They still have it, this is for you!"

As he spoke, he picked up the ham and put it into Miaomiao's mouth.

She could tell that the kid was sincere.

Miaomiao took a bite and then lowered her head.

Ran Qiuye spread her messy hair, then picked up the comb and combed it gently.

Finally, tie it up with your own hair tie.

Miaomiao held the chopsticks and lowered her head, tears falling down again.

Yang Xiaotao looked at it and didn't say much.

There are some things that she needs to adapt to on her own.

After eating a bowl of scrambled eggs, Yang Xiaotao picked up the fishing rod, got on his bicycle and went out, leaving the space to the mother and daughter.

"Xiao Tao, do you really recognize a daughter?"

As soon as they walked out of the hanging flower gate, the third aunt couldn't help but ask.

This incident, like the wind, quickly spread throughout the courtyard, and then flew out of the alley.

"Yes, that is my daughter, her nickname is Miao Miao, and her nickname is Yang Jianhua!"

Yang Xiaotao said seriously, and then rode towards the West Sea.

With one more person in the family, we need to catch more fish.

Behind him, the third aunt took a deep breath, then turned around and immediately started discussing with a few old ladies.

When I heard about Miao Miao's past from Xiao Liu's wife, I felt sympathy in my heart.

Losing her mother at a young age, and losing her father to depend on each other for life, leaving her with no one at home, could not be more tragic than this.

Without Yang Xiaotao, this girl's fate can be imagined.

But now, at the same time, people in the courtyard were envious of Miao Miao's good life, and being able to enter the Yang family was a blessing in disguise.

Of course, more people understand that the experiences of Yang Xiaotao and this child are exactly the same!

Having the same experience aroused Yang Xiaotao's compassion, it was no surprise to adopt a child.

What's more, the Yang family has a rich family background. Let alone adopting one, they can afford another one.

Besides, this is just a girl. According to popular belief, she can be raised and married off.

When everyone realized this, they were no longer surprised.

In the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao returned home with a full load.

The fish population in the Western Sea has grown a lot over the past year, especially now. The fish

Ran Qiuye was working on the sewing machine in the room, while Miaomiao was lying on the side, watching and smiling.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao coming back with a wooden barrel, Miaomiao immediately ran over, then looked at the gray-black figure inside, and the two big fish tied with a wooden strip in Yang Xiaotao's hand, and immediately shouted.

"Mom, Mom, Dad caught a lot of fish, and there are two very big fish!"

The cheers rang in the house, Ran Qiuye turned around, and then said dotingly, "Let your dad cook fish for you tonight."

"He's the best!"

Yang Xiaotao also raised the two carps in his hand, "No problem, make two tables of dishes, enough!"

"I, I can cook, I can make steamed bread!"

Miaomiao waved her hands and said loudly, Yang Xiaotao hurried forward to hold her up, "Okay, let's eat the steamed bread made by Miaomiao tonight."

Immediately, the room was full of laughter.

Ran Qiuye put the altered clothes on Miaomiao. This clothes was worn by Ran Xinrui before. This time, she found it from the Ran family, and she also wanted to donate it to the disaster area.

Now that Miaomiao is here, it's just right to take it out and use it.

It also saves the process and goes straight to the result.
