Su Haitang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly comforted the child.

"Auntie didn't say I don't want you, I just asked a question. Don't cry. I won't be happy if you cry again."

Mi Jiajia cried until she hiccupped.

"Don't be upset, Auntie. I'm good and Auntie likes me."

Su Haitang had a headache and tried to be more patient.

"Yes, Auntie likes you. You should love your own children. Stop crying and listen to what I have to say."

Yuan Ye glared at the children who couldn't stop crying for a while, and roughly stuffed chicken legs, ribs and prawns into their mouths.

"Auntie, you tell us and we listen."

Although Su Haitang felt distressed, he also knew that it was most important to explain clearly at this time.

"I'm not lying. I like you and will not abandon you. The reason why I don't take you back to live in the imperial capital is because I am a soldier and rarely have vacation time, so I can't spend time with you."

"My family is very busy. Even if you go back, you can only ask a nanny to take care of you."

"Since I have adopted you, I want to be responsible for you. I don't feel comfortable taking you to a completely unfamiliar environment and leaving you under the care of strangers."

"And here, at least you still have friends and neighbors you know. This is also your hometown. Although the environment has changed, at least you still feel close in your heart."

Su Haitang explained so much in one breath and wiped Mi Jiajia's tears with a handkerchief.

"You have just lost your loved ones, and what you need is companionship. But I can't give you this for the time being, so I choose to keep you here for the time being."

"When you are ready to go with me to a completely unfamiliar environment and start a new life, we will return to the Imperial Capital."

She smiled deliberately.

"Auntie, I am not short of money. You don't have to worry about food and accommodation when you return to the imperial capital. I can feed you all healthy and strong."

"It's just that what worries you the most is the hurt in your hearts. I worry that if I take you back now but can't give you enough companionship and care, you will be even more sad."

"So, my aunt has decided to ask you to stay here for a while, accompanied by familiar friends, and watch the reconstruction of your hometown with your own eyes. You will feel at ease and feel that your future will be rebuilt step by step. .”

"Explanation like this, is it clear?"

Su Haitang looked at the children expectantly. They all had their eyes widened and seemed to be listening very seriously.

"I want to follow Auntie."

Shi Zhongtian stretched out his arms towards Su Haitang with a sweet voice, his face full of trust.

Huang Yicheng and others started to follow suit again.

"I want to follow Auntie too!"

"I will go wherever my aunt is. We are a family."

"Auntie smells great and her smile is so beautiful, just like my mother! I want to see Auntie every day."

Su Haitang's heart almost turned to water, and he didn't feel the noise, so he touched their heads one by one.

"Eat, eat. Auntie has been on the train all night and hasn't had a proper meal yet. Hurry up. Yes, it's delicious."

Tian Qingqing and Yuan Ye looked at each other, secretly wiped their eyes, picked up their chopsticks and continued eating.

Lin Qingluan put a large shrimp into Su Haitang's bowl and said softly: "Auntie, you eat the shrimp."

Su Haitang was so moved that she almost cried!

This was the first time this child took the initiative to talk to her!

"You guys eat too."

Su Haitang regretted why he didn't talk to the children earlier.

She always thought that they were young, but she never imagined that they had gone through great changes, their minds had been matured to a certain extent, and they thought more than ordinary children!

"I'm actually quite scared."

She smiled and decided to communicate with the children as sensible adults.

"I'm afraid I can't afford the lives of the eight of you, and I'm afraid I'll spoil you."

"I have no experience, and I'm only seven years older than Qingqing."

"But I am willing to learn to be a family member with you, a lifelong family member. You must also learn to trust me."

"We are a family."
