Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1691 Lao Yi, I want to adopt a child
After putting on clothes, Yang Xiaotao rode a bike with the remaining clothes and shoes, Ran Qiuye took Miaomiao on a bicycle, and the three of them came to the street office.

At this time, people were coming and going in the street office. Many people came with their belongings at home, and then left empty-handed.

Yang Xiaotao parked the car and then walked into the street office.

Director Wang was so busy that sweat was coming out of his forehead.

There were so many people delivering gifts, and they were all so enthusiastic that she didn't dare to be careless, for fear that something might go wrong and a good thing would turn into a bad one.

Just when they were so busy that they didn't know what to do, Yang Xiaotao, Ran Qiuye and Miaomiao walked in.

"Auntie Wang, you are so busy, do you need help?"

Yang Xiaotao spoke with a smile. Director Wang looked up suddenly when he heard the voice and then looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"You kid, you finally decided to come back!"

"Hey, what's the point of not wanting to give it up? This is just a job requirement!"

Yang Xiaotao said seriously.

"It's required for work, so I sang a song and became famous!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao laughed and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. You know, I don't want to become famous for this!"

Director Wang was too lazy to look at him, but focused his attention on Ran Qiuye and Miaomiao.

Seeing this, Ran Qiuye stepped forward and explained his purpose.

"Auntie Wang, this is Miaomiao. Xiaotao and I have discussed and are planning to adopt this child..."

“Miaomiao is from the mountain city.”

When he learned about the adoption, Director Wang immediately stood up and looked at the two people with a look full of relief.

"You guys did a great job on this. I totally agree with you."

"This time, the higher authorities issued a notice asking the subdistrict office to encourage everyone and lend a helping hand."

"Donating supplies is one thing, and the other is adopting children affected by the disaster."

"Shicheng is not the epicenter after all. Shunde is the worst. It has not stabilized yet. Sigh."

Director Wang sighed, feeling very worried about the impact of the earthquake.

After talking for a while, Director Wang put down his work and personally handled the adoption procedures for Yang Xiaotao. After consulting both parties and confirming again, the adoption procedures were finally completed.

Finally, Director Wang signed his name on the document on behalf of the Street Office.

So soon, a new name appeared on the Yang family’s household registration.

Yang Jianhua!
"Miao Miao, call me auntie!"

After completing the formalities, Yang Xiaotao asked Miaomiao to recognize the person.

"Auntie!"

"Oh, good granddaughter!"

Director Wang smiled and picked up Miaomiao, then looked at Ran Qiuye, "Miaomiao is old enough to go to school, where are you going to put her?"

Ran Qiuye and Ran Qiuye had already discussed this matter, so they said, "We will go back to the village tomorrow and tell the old master."

"Miao Miao is studying in school!"

"That's good, that's good!"

Director Wang put Miaomiao down and took out a blank book from the drawer. "Miaomiao, this is a gift from your aunt."

"When you get to school, you must study hard, okay?"

Miaomiao looked at Ran Qiuye, who nodded before taking the notebook.

"Yes, thank you, Auntie."

"Hey, good! This kid is polite, much better than Xiaohu!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this, "He's better than that kid Duanwu!"

Several people laughed when they heard it.

"Auntie Wang, we'll set up a table at home tonight. Come and have a seat when you're free."

Director Wang shook his head and said, "Let me take a look. There are too many things to do here. I may not be available."

After coming out of the street office, the two rode their bicycles separately.

Yang Xiaotao was going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things for the household and food, as they had to prepare for the increase in the number of people.

Fortunately, my family has just bought a new house, so there is plenty of accommodation.

Ran Qiuye took Miaomiao to Ran's house. It was probably time for the three kids to go home by now!
Yang Xiaotao came out of the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a lot of things. Various paper packages were piled up one meter high, tied with hemp ropes and hung on the left handlebar.

As for the right side, there is a large piece of pork hanging in front.

There was also a pair of shoes and a pair of sandals on the back seat of the car...

When I arrived at Ran's house by bike, it was already past four in the afternoon.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Duanwu surrounding Miaomiao and showing off the toys in his hands, calling her "big sister" from time to time.

The remaining two children were also standing by, looking at the older sister in front of them with curiosity.

As for Ran Hongbing, he was a little shy at the moment and did not take the initiative to move forward.

Yang Xiaotao came over carrying something, and a group of children rushed over. Yang Xiaotao handed a bag of snacks to Ran Hongbing.

"As an uncle, you need to take the lead!"

As he said this, he looked at Miaomiao, and Ran Hongbing immediately understood. He then took Miaomiao's hand and came to the side. The children in the yard saw that there was food, and they ran over and surrounded them.

Then a group of children started playing together.

When I came into the room, Ran's mother was talking to Ran Qiuye.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao come in, he immediately changed the subject.

"I just told Qiu Ye that since you have become a family member, you must treat them as family members."

"From now on, whatever Yueyue and Rongrong have, Miaomiao must also have. You two can't be partial!"

"Otherwise, I'd be sorry to the parents, and even if outsiders saw it, they would point fingers and make irresponsible remarks."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and Ran Qiuye also understood the situation.

"Mom, don't worry, this child will be ours from now on. We will spank and scold him when necessary, just like Yueyue and Rongrong!"

Yang Xiaotao spoke seriously, but Ran's mother understood what he was thinking.

What's the point of beating? Judging from the way he loves his daughter, he probably wouldn't bear to see her make a mistake.

If it were the Dragon Boat Festival, he would have been beaten with sticks long ago!

"Mom, Dad will be back tonight, you two can go together, and have a meal together!"

After hearing this, Ran's mother looked at the children in the yard and nodded.

Anyway, this is a big deal.

When coming out of Ran's house, Yang Xiaotao had Yueyue sitting in the front of the car and Rongrong sitting in the back.

In front of Ran Qiuye is Duanwu, and behind her is Miaomiao.

A family of six, with two bicycles, were riding side by side on the road.

The three Duanwu brothers had no objection to Miaomiao's arrival. They were even excited to have an older sister.

Especially Duanwu, he is finally not the biggest one anymore, so we don’t have to look for him when we get beaten.

When they arrived at the courtyard, the four children got out of the car and ran into the yard.

After a while, a group of children gathered around Miaomiao and her two siblings, waiting for Miaomiao to share the cakes.

Duanwu suddenly felt that since this big sister came, he had eaten the cakes that his father usually forbade him to eat twice. Wouldn't he be able to eat more in the future? Ran Qiuye saw Miaomiao blending into the yard, and he also returned to the house to prepare dinner with peace of mind.

"Wife, give me a kiss!"

The next second, Ran Qiuye felt her body being hugged and then her mouth was blocked.

"Let go!"

After kissing for a while, Ran Qiuye finally took a breath, then pushed Yang Xiaotao, "The child is still outside!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't let go, "It's okay, they are all playing outside and can't come in!"

"No, Cuiping and the others will be here immediately!"

"How about tonight?"

"No, you just came back and you're too tired!"

"Not tired, not tired at all!"

"That does not…"

Uh-huh~
Therefore, under Yang Xiaotao's continuous offensive, Ran Qiuye completely surrendered and was released only after agreeing to the unequal treaty in the evening.

"I don't know who's afraid of whom at night!"

Ran Qiuye ran away in a hurry, leaving behind some harsh words.

Yang Xiaotao smiled proudly, "Wife, in order to change the balance between men and women in our family, I think it is necessary to work hard!"

Pooh!
Middle Court.

In the afternoon, after hearing about what happened to the Yang family, an old lady sat at the door with a dull look on her face.

Now, looking at Miaomiao playing in the yard after being carefully dressed up by Ran Qiuye, the string in my heart was deeply touched.

Many years ago, she thought about adopting an orphan, so that she would have someone to rely on when she got old.

But every time he said it, he would be opposed by Yi Zhonghai.

The reason is that the child is not your own, and you will not be able to love the child when he grows up, and may even go looking for his biological parents, which is a waste of energy.

Later, the matter was left unresolved.

But now, the facts are before our eyes.

What's there to be afraid of when adopting an orphan?

What's more, what she wanted more was the feeling of companionship, the feeling of having a child by her side, calling her mother.

Thinking of the girl's simple and innocent smile, thinking of her holding Ran Qiuye's hand and greeting the people in the yard, calling them grandpa and grandma, the jealousy in his heart became intense for the first time.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you? You won't respond even if I call you."

Qin Huairu's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and she came in with a basket on her arm, apparently going to buy vegetables.

As the weather gets warmer, many vegetables grown in rural courtyards are brought in, enriching the pigeon market.

Buy it now, it's cheaper.

"Huai Ru is back."

The aunt calmed down and said, then took Qin Huairu's basket and walked into the house.

Seeing that the old lady looked strange, Qin Huairu wondered what was going on, and then she saw that there seemed to be a little girl among the children playing in the yard.

Judging from the way she is dressed, the red rope on her hair, the new shoes on her feet, and the group of people surrounding her, she looks like a city person.

Could it be a relative of Yang Xiaotao's family?
But she knew that Yang Xiaotao had found relatives in Shanghai, and she heard that they were all wealthy people.

'This bastard is so lucky.'

He cursed in his heart, then saw Xiaodang playing with Sophora japonica and waved, "Xiaodang, come here."

"What's going on in this courtyard?"

"And who is that girl?"

Xiaodang looked at Miaomiao who was playing with Duanwu and the others and felt very envious.

Not only can you play with others, but you also have nice clothes to wear and lots of delicious food.

"Mom, that's the child Yang Xiaotao picked up."

"They're going to have something delicious tonight."

As Xiaodang was talking, Xiaohuaihua also came over and said, "Mom, they were sharing the cakes, but Xiaoshitou wouldn't let them give us any."

"Mom, I want some cookies."

After Xiao Huaihua finished speaking, she grabbed Qin Huairu's hand and shook it continuously, but Qin Huairu was stunned on the spot.

Did Yang Xiaotao pick it up?
She heard from people in the orphanage where Yang Xiaotao had gone. So, wasn't he adopted?

Looking at the little girl smiling happily in the yard, Qin Huairu felt furious.

A kind of fire that has no reason to be explained, a kind of suppressed fire.

That inhuman bastard actually adopted a bastard whose background he didn't know.

But he was so hostile to her and her children.

This bastard, how vindictive he is.

"Mom, I want some cookies"

"Eat, eat, eat. Does your mom have money to buy it for you?"

Qin Huairu suddenly shouted angrily, picked up a handful of small locust flowers, and walked into the house.

Woo woo

Xiao Huaihua sat down on the ground and started crying. Xiao Dang didn't dare to go forward. He just looked at the group of children playing not far away with envy in his eyes.

"Huaihua, why are you still crying?"

Yi Zhonghai walked in from outside, followed by Sha Zhu. Both of them had smiles on their faces, and it was obvious that good things had happened to them.

"Hurry up and get up. Give grandpa a hug. Hug him."

Yi Zhonghai walked into the house holding Sophora japonica. Sha Zhu went in first and saw an old lady picking vegetables listlessly while Qin Huairu was sulking beside her.

"Hey, hey, what's going on?"

"Huai Ru, what's wrong?"

Sha Zhu was sitting on the side and saw Qin Huairu's face was not right, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Who are you angry with again?"

"Humph, you stupid kid, you still want to eat cookies, do you think our family deserves it?"

"Why not?"

Sha Zhu shouted, and then saw the person coming into the house, "That's a perfect match, Huaihua, I'm crying, wait for Sha Dad to buy you some cookies tomorrow."

Qin Huairu listened and said, "You are just pretending to be a big shot. What's going on at home? Don't you have any idea?"

The more Sha Zhu listened, the more he felt something was not right. It seemed that Qin Huairu was hiding something from her words today.

"No, what's going on?"

After saying that, he looked at the dazed lady standing beside him, then exchanged a look with Yi Zhonghai, both of them were confused.

Yi Zhonghai put down the locust flowers and came to the aunt, "Are the people in the courtyard angry with you again?"

"no!"

The aunt put down the dish and replied calmly.

Then he stared at Yi Zhonghai seriously and said, "Yang Xiaotao from the hospital has returned and adopted a girl from the disaster area."

"Lao Yi, I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I think we should adopt a child."
