Tao Zi raised her hand to wipe her tears and smiled at An Yuan: "That day I secretly swore that in my life, I will be a member of the An family when I am alive, and I will be a ghost of the An family when I die."

An Yuan nodded gently and gently wiped the tears on Tao Zi's face with the towel in his hand.

Taozi sniffed and whispered, "I never want to mention my biological parents in my life."

"But, you are my parents' biological daughter and their very precious child. I don't want you to misunderstand me or someone to provoke you in the future, so I think I should tell you this."

"Well, thank you for telling me this." An Yuan touched her head again and said firmly, "Believe me, you have grown up and have the ability to decide your own destiny."

"No one can control your life anymore, and you should not be hurt by the past."

"Xiaoyuan, you are as good as your parents and brothers." Taozi sniffed again and smiled, "I have been thinking, I must live a very happy life to be worthy of my family's kindness to me."

Anyuan nodded, looked at her and said, "Your feet should be numb. Can you get up?"

Taozi still shook her head: "There is one more thing I think I should tell you."

Anyuan: "Okay, you say."

Taozi looked at the door and confirmed that it was closed, then whispered: "Xiaojiu... is also adopted."

"It's me... who begged the family to adopt her."

An Yuan was a little surprised, but not too surprised.

She had already guessed that Xiaojiu was not the biological child of his parents, but she didn't expect that there seemed to be more inside information.

Tao Zi sniffed in embarrassment: "You are so smart, you should have figured out that Xiao Jiu is not the biological child of his parents."

During the summer vacation two years ago, she did very poorly in the college entrance examination and did not even meet the standards for a decent college.

Her family helped her sign up to re-study, hoping that she would work hard for another year.

During the summer vacation of that year, her teacher organized students to go to the orphanage to do volunteer work. She felt that this job was very meaningful, and she went to the orphanage to help almost every day.

That's where she and Xiaojiu met.

"It was windy and rainy that morning, but I went there very early, and I saw a cardboard box at the door of the orphanage with an umbrella on top."

"I thought there were kittens and puppies in the cardboard box, but when I ran over and saw it, I saw it was a little girl as cute as an angel."

An Yuan's pupils suddenly dilated and his fingertips trembled slightly.

Could the little girl in the cardboard box be Xiao Jiu?

How could anyone be willing to throw such a cute, young child into an orphanage?

Taozi's eyes were moist again: "The little girl was only two or three years old. She was sleeping deeply, with a small blanket covering her body and a Hello Kitty doll in her arms. She had no idea that she had been abandoned."

An Yuan sighed in his heart.

The tragedy in this world will never end.

Tao Zi whispered: "There is a note in the box. It says, Qiao Qiao, two years and eight months old, born on December 26."

"The child is well dressed and has a fair face. The person who raised her should not be short of money. I can't understand why rich people would abandon such a cute child."

"I took the child into the orphanage. After examination, we found out that the child had polio and had a slight lameness in his right leg."

"The child is very well-behaved. She didn't cry after knowing she was abandoned. She does whatever the adults tell her to do. When no one cares about her or plays with her, she just hugs Hello Kitty and hides in the corner and sings softly. .”

“I couldn’t understand what she was singing, but her voice was so beautiful, like an angel.”

"She is very clingy to me. She obviously doesn't like to talk and is very shy, but every time she sees me, it's like she has wings, her eyes are bright, she smiles like a flower, and she flies towards me."

"Every time I see her, I think of myself as a child. When my parents came to see me, I would rush towards them like this..."

Tao Zi cried a little hard, even more than when she mentioned her own affairs.

Anyuan listened silently without interrupting her thoughts.

"I love and miss this child very much. Every day before dawn, I bring snacks made at home and go to the orphanage to see her."

"When I left, my children often held my hand and asked if they could go home with me. I, I couldn't answer..."

"I wanted to take her home, but, my family had already adopted me. Something happened to my family at that time, and the whole family was having a very difficult time. I, I couldn't tell my family..."

An Yuan's heart thumped again.

Is this what happened two years ago? Did the An family suffer again?

"But I really can't let go of that child. I can't leave her in the orphanage." Taozi tried hard to control her emotions and not let herself cry loudly. "Seeing that school is about to start, I can't go to the orphanage after school starts." , I, I fell ill..."

She was a little seriously ill.

fever.

Vomit.

weeping.

I will spit out any medicine I take.

Even though he was unconscious, he still crawled out of bed, crying and shouting that he had to go to the orphanage to see the children...

Dad saw the clues and had a long talk with her.

She finally expressed her heartache and asked in tears: "Dad, can our family adopt that child? I know that the family is in trouble and it is impossible to raise another sick child, but I can raise it."

"I went out to work and rented a small house outside. I took care of her myself..."

What she didn't expect was that her father said simply: "Okay! You take the medicine. After taking the medicine, your father and mother will go to the orphanage with you to see the child in person."

She was redeemed again.

After the parents visited the child, they liked the child very much and consulted on the spot about adopting the child.

The next day, my parents took a few brothers to see the child. The brothers also liked it very much and unanimously supported the family's adoption of the sister.

When Taozi said this, she raised her head, took the towel in An Yuan's hand, wiped away her tears, and showed a gentle smile: "Mom and dad spent a lot of effort, and finally completed the adoption procedures, took the child home, and gave it to them. She was named Xiaojiu."

"Although the family was in financial difficulty at the time, my parents and brothers still worked hard to raise money for Xiaojiu's treatment."

"I also decided not to study and go out to work. While earning money to support my family, I also took time to take care of Xiaojiu."

She did not explain why Xiaojiu was called "Xiaojiu".

But An Yuan knew that this was because Xiaojiu was the ninth in the family.

In this family, she also has a twin who is not sure whether she is a sister or a brother.

One of the changes in the An family must be related to the twins.
