Rebirth and Raising a Baby

Seeing Cheng Xiao's photo a month ago, the Long family fell silent.

In the photo, Cheng Xiao could hardly recognize her.

A dry and skinny child, so thin that only a handful of bones remained, his hair was messed up, and his face was so dark that he couldn't tell, only the similar outline could be seen.

That appearance is said to be a six-year-old child, no one believes it.

What they saw was Cheng Xiaobai's clean, well-groomed appearance. He looked no different from ordinary children. The only difference was that he talked less and was quieter than Dabao and Erbao.

At first, Mrs. Long only thought that the little girl had such a personality, but she didn't expect so much.

But now seeing the previous photos, she can no longer deceive herself, and she can't stop crying.

Cheng Xiao's strange attachment to Lin Ling is also understandable.

The three brothers of the Long family had very complicated hearts. They had empathy for the younger sister and hatred for Cheng Xiao's father, but now seeing Cheng Xiao's miserable state before, they felt even more grief and indignation.

It also made them officially classify Cheng Xiao as one of their own.

"Mother, don't be too sad, be careful." Boss Long helped the old lady Long, separating her from Cheng Xiao.

Long's daughter-in-law hugged Cheng Xiao, crying out of breath, "Poor child, don't be afraid, my aunt will love you in the future!"

Long Er and Long San even made promises one after another.

"Mother, don't worry, if I have a bite to eat in the future, my little sister's child will not be hungry."

"Yes, Cheng Xiao will be our child in the future, and our three brothers will raise her!"

The old lady Long wiped her tears, feeling very excited in her heart: "Good boy, you are all good boys."

After the confession was over, the few of them washed their faces and calmed down.

Lin Ling deliberately wanted to bring people to the second floor to talk, thinking that this was a family affair of the Long family, and it would be difficult for people outside to watch the excitement.

The old lady Long didn't care about this.

"How many years have they been neighbors in the neighborhood, I'm afraid they won't know about this?"

"Besides, it's not us who are guilty of this matter!"

What Mrs. Long said was a righteous one.

This is the worst thing in her life.

As long as a person stands upright, he will never be afraid.

"The old lady said it well, if you need help at that time, let my kid go too!"

"Yes, yes, my two sons will also go to support you!"

"I'll go too, Aunt Long, don't worry, I'll pay for the ticket myself!"

The neighbors who followed all expressed their opinions, and decided without hesitation to go to Pengcheng to help the Long family.

"Good good!"

The old lady Long was very grateful, and thanked with a smile, "You are all my good neighbors, we have been in love for so many years, how can I let you pay for the bus ticket!"

"If you're willing to help, we'll cover the bus tickets, meals and drinks. After you've finished your work, you will have to let the boss and the second brother take you around Pengcheng."

As her words fell, Long Boss and Long San also expressed their opinions one after another, and they were of one mind with the old lady.

Immediately, the neighbors in the neighborhood became even more excited.

Isn't it just to help out!
For the head-scratching thing, you can still go to Pengcheng, eat the food there, and see the scenery there. Isn't this equal to free play?
"Old lady Long is still so honest."

"That's right, that's too polite!"

He said polite words on his lips, but he didn't refuse at all in his actions.

In the blink of an eye, he had drawn so many good helpers for himself. Lin Ling looked at Mrs. Long's eyes differently.

Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy!
It's not that the Long family wants to bully others or something. The reason why they brought those strong men is nothing more than to play a role in suppressing the formation.

After all, Pengcheng is not my own territory, there are no clans and people I know, and if I don't bring enough people, I'm afraid something will happen
If you bring a lot of people with you, the other party will have to be afraid when they see each other. If you are timid first, it will be easier to talk about things.

Just like when two villages quarreled in the past, it was also to let the young and middle-aged people in the village follow and play a role in suppressing the battle. If there are too many people, if you don't want to make things big, you have to discuss it well.

"Boss Lin, thank you for this!"

Boss Long shook hands with Lin Ling alone, his tone was very solemn, and his eyes were somewhat appreciative.

If it wasn't for the kindness of Lin Ling who took Cheng Xiao in at the beginning, and then continued to help find him, they still don't know if they will be able to see Cheng Xiao.

They didn't dare to think about what fate Cheng Xiao would have had if Lin Ling hadn't taken Cheng Xiao in.
Starve to death, freeze to death, or be kidnapped.
As long as I think of these possibilities, my heart hurts like a knife.

"You're welcome. I also treat Cheng Xiao like a daughter. This child is very good. Naturally, I don't want her to have a bad life."

Lin Ling's words were sincere.

At the beginning, she just thought that she couldn't let a child live like this. Out of respect for life and a mother's compassion, she took him home.

Later on, I became interested in raising and raising, and gave a little more affection, and became more and more reluctant to let the child be bad.

Maybe it was also related to Lin Chunhua talking about letting her have a daughter from time to time. Slowly, she felt that it would be nice to have a daughter like Cheng Xiao.

It's a pity that her current body is not easy to conceive, and she and Chu Yi have long given up contraception, but there has been no movement, Lin Ling can only let fate, and bet the regret in her heart on Cheng Xiao.

"This child is really sweet. As long as she treats each other sincerely, everyone will like her."

Boss Long nodded, understanding what she meant.

"The guy in my family watched the younger sister grow up, and will raise Cheng Xiao as his own daughter in the future. You can rest assured!"

"Didn't your words offend me?" Lin Ling hurriedly stopped, she couldn't bear such a title.

Glancing at the three daughters-in-law of the Long family, the thoughts in his heart were eager to move.

"Xiaoxiao, come here!" Long Boss and General Cheng Xiao called out from the arms of Long Da's wife and pulled him in front of Lin Ling, "Would you like to call your auntie godmother? From now on, I will be one more mother to love you."

Cheng Xiao raised his head suddenly, looked at Lin Ling with bright eyes, and shouted crisply: "Godmother!"

Lin Ling was caught off guard, and subconsciously responded "Hey!"
"Now you can rest easy!"

Boss Long smiled honestly, with sincere eyes.

Lin Ling nodded, completely relieved.

Since ancient times, raising children from relatives is the most difficult decision. If you raise them well, you are afraid that people will think that the children are more close to you. If you raise them poorly, you may be afraid that they will hate you.
Especially this kind of parents who have lost their parents. They are afraid that people will miss their parents. If they can’t raise them well, they will say you, and their children will hate you.

And it costs a lot to raise a child, not to mention going to school, studying, working, getting married and so on.

Like the old lady Long is a living example!
Raise the child well, graduate from junior high school, start working soon, and then talk about marriage. At this time, the biological parents want to admit back, what can you say?

That is, if you don't want to, you have to worry about the child, and you also have to worry about the relationship between relatives, thinking that your biological parents will not harm the child, so old lady Long gave in.

As a result, people just used the child as a bargaining chip and sold it directly. The old lady Long had no place to regret it.

Lin Ling was worried that the Long family had feelings for Cheng Xiao's dead mother at the beginning and treated her well, but after raising her for a long time, they disliked spending too much and had friction with the children at home.
Now that Mrs. Long is here, the three brothers also have feelings for Cheng Xiao's mother, but time can kill everything. If people's hearts change at that time, Cheng Xiao will be really helpless.

It's all right now, with the identity of this godmother.

If Cheng Xiao's life in Long's house is not good, she can also intervene in this capacity to help one or two.

With her supervision, the Long family will not treat Cheng Xiao too badly.

At this time, Cheng Xiao didn't know what he got.

She just thinks that with so many relatives, her aunt has also become a godmother, and it's great that she can continue to communicate in the future.

"You recognize your godmother now?"

The old lady Long came over, with a somewhat regretful tone: "I still want to recognize Lin Ling as my daughter, this child is so kind, and he is kind to our Long family."

Lin Chunhua smiled: "Old sister, what are you talking about, Lin Ling is not your daughter, so it's not too bad."

"Hahaha, you are right!"

The old lady Long took back the idea and regretted it.

"Boss, from now on you can call Chunhua Auntie!"

They are all called sisters, and those ceremonies are not bad.

"Must!" Boss Long said without hesitation.

Long Er and Long San were also called over and called Auntie instead.

"Don't call me Boss Lin, just call Lin Ling a girl!"

"That's great, today we not only recognize Cheng Xiao, but also have a whole family of relatives!" said Long's daughter-in-law with a smile.

"Yes, yes, today is such a good day!"

The old lady Long felt a little emotional, the relationship between this person is really mysterious.

If it wasn't for her admiration and curiosity for Lin Ling back then, she wouldn't have followed her to the milk tea shop, and she wouldn't have met Lin Chunhua, and naturally there would have been no such thing as self-reporting.

That's why Lin Ling knew her surname and what she was like, so she approached her as soon as she got the news.
Fate, amazing!

As much old lady Long's gratitude to Lin Ling was in her heart, she hated Cheng Xiao's father and sister-in-law as much.

If it weren't for these two people, how could her Shanshan and Xiaoxiao be in such a state.

At the beginning, my sister-in-law sold Shanshan with a high betrothal gift, and she went to look for it immediately after she heard the news. Unfortunately, the family didn't know whether it was a guilty conscience or something, and they moved away not long after the marriage.

If Shanshan hadn't come back later to pay her New Year's greetings, she wouldn't have known where her daughter married or who she married.

When I asked my daughter, she was only vague, and only said that she was working in Pengcheng. She refused to say anything more, and only said that everything was fine, but how could Mrs. Long feel at ease.

It was also because of this that later when Long Boss and Long Er wanted to develop in Pengcheng, the old lady Long didn't stop them, and even offered money to support them.

The reason is to hope that Long Boss and Long Er have been staying for a long time, maybe they will be able to find that poor girl.

Poor her Shanshan, she left early before she was 30 years old.

"Do you still have any memories of the family Shanshan married into?"

This time, the old lady Long decided not to hold back anymore, if she kept going, she would be a bastard.

"Mother, my aunt only said that her surname was Cheng. There are two brothers in the family. The eldest is very capable in Pengcheng. She didn't say anything else." Long's eldest daughter-in-law replied.

Boss Long nodded: "Yeah, I said I was capable, but I didn't see that family going to pay New Year's greetings to my sister-in-law. Shanshan came back by herself every year."

The old lady Long glared: "Then you still tell me that she is fine?"

Boss Long lowered his head embarrassingly: "Shanshan didn't let me say it, but I agreed because she didn't lose much weight."

At that time, I was also angry, angry that my sister was weak-boned, and went back when I heard that my mother was looking for her, and I didn't tell my family about such a big matter as the marriage, but if they asked someone to send a message, would the three brothers not care about it!

"Oh..." Mrs. Long also knew that the three brothers had knots in their hearts. After all, they were young and had not experienced as many things as her, so they fought for it.

"Lin Ling, we still have something to do, so let's take our leave first."

The old lady Long had an idea in her mind, and she left immediately.

Lin Ling packed a bunch of Cheng Xiao's things and came out.

"I bought these for her later, you can take them back, and the rest will be wasted."

A big duffle bag full.

In addition to towels and toothbrushes, there are also a lot of clothes, thin pajamas, flannel pajamas, daily clothes, etc., and the New Year's clothes.

Long's daughter-in-law looked at these things and was taken aback, and she had a little more recognition of Lin Ling's love for Cheng Xiao.

If it were her, she wouldn't be so careful with a picked-up child.

Even for Cheng Xiao, my sister-in-law's daughter, she was at best raised as rough as her own child, and it was impossible for her to be treated so meticulously.

"Xiaoxiao, hurry up and thank you godmother!"

"Thank godmother!"

Cheng Xiao obeyed obediently, with a little attachment in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, godmother gave you a New Year's gift in advance, remember to wear it when the time comes, and come to godmother's house to pay New Year's greetings, do you understand?" Lin Ling stroked her soft hair.

"Ok!"

Erbao came out dragging a big bag of snacks.

"Xiaoxiao, I will never compete with you for snacks again, come to me after you finish eating, and I will share with you." Er Bao looked at her pitifully.

"Okay, I will eat slowly, thank you Erbao."

Cheng Xiao stepped forward and hugged him.

Dabao next to him coughed, his face turned red strangely, and he stuffed the book in Cheng Xiao's arms.

"You like these two books the most, so I will give them to you. Keep them well!"

Cheng Xiao looked down and saw that it was her favorite book of fairy tales, and there was also a book called "One Hundred Thousand Whys", which Dabao usually valued very much and had to wipe it every day.

"Dabao, you are so kind to me!"

Cheng Xiao was suddenly a little reluctant to leave.

The godmother and grandma are so good, Dabao and Erbao are also very cute, treat her as best friends, and share everything with her.

Tears fell disobediently at the thought of being separated.

"This child!" The old lady Long sighed with a smile, "What's the matter, grandma's house lives across the bridge, and you can continue to play normally."

"Yes!"

Cheng Xiao was reminded, and the sentimentality flew away in an instant.

Er Bao looked at the bag of snacks with a dull look in his eyes.

He thought he would never see Cheng Xiao again, and even took out all the snacks. Is it too late to regret it now?
Dabao added lightly: "Next time you come, bring the book with you, and let's read it together!"

Cheng Xiao responded with a smile: "Okay!"

The atmosphere in the room became lighter.

The adults smiled knowingly.
