Chapter 62: The eldest father wants to adopt you
“Conflict?” Hong Xiaoduo grasped the key words in her feelings.
When Wei Junpei heard this tone and her expression at this time, he felt annoyed in his heart. Why can't he speak at such an old age? "Ahem, she always felt that Tong'er was still alive. Her family tried to adopt her several times, and they also selected a suitable child from the clan to come to her. She, she reacted very...
My dear lady, you Don't worry, if it happens again this time, I will take the child with me to raise him.
Besides, it is not easy for you, a girl, to live with seven of them and have no fixed place to live. It’s better to go to a good place than to continue wandering with you, right?”
Speaking of this, Wei Junpei stopped drinking tea and quietly thought about it for her.
Out the back window, there was a squatting figure, with two small fists clenched tightly due to nervousness.
I originally planned to find a suitable person to entrust the children to. When I saw this person's joy for the child yesterday, I also had the idea of asking him. However, now that person took the initiative to ask, Hong Xiaoduo asked again. hesitated.
"What the old man said is right, but not entirely. I am young, but if it were not for my special circumstances, it would not be impossible to take them with me all the time. Nothing is easy, they are very sensible and well-behaved Be obedient, although the days with me are short, in fact they are also They have been taking care of me.
They have been living a life of not having enough to eat, so even if I am not very capable and cannot lead them to live a good life of wealth and happiness, I will live with them. No matter how tight we are, it's still better than before.
Uncle, you are in a high position, and being adopted by you is also a rare opportunity that can change other people's lives. So, I can't be the master of your proposal, uncle. Why don't you call the child over and ask him I mean, let him make his own decision. "Hong Xiaoduo told herself to stay calm, not to act impulsively, nor to ignore the child's own wishes.
Although Kaiyang is only six years old, she still wants to leave the choice and decision-making power to the child herself.< br>
Wei Junpei was very surprised by Hong Xiaoduo’s words. He wanted to say that the child was young, but he couldn’t think of his identity. Regarding the stakes in life, let him make his own decision, maybe he will refuse because he can't bear to leave his brothers and sisters.
But he can't express his deep feelings. It seems that this young girl's ideological level is higher than that of him who has been immersed in officialdom for many years.
"Okay, then I will ask the child as you said." Wei Junpei responded, called the guards in, and ordered Kaiyang to come over.
Tianshu, who was under the back window, also fell silent after listening to Hong Xiaoduo's words.
He didn’t want the seven brothers and sisters to be separated and wanted to be together all the time. However, his mother decided to let Kaiyang make his own decision, so how could he ignore Kaiyang’s wishes?
This eldest father is a very big official. Being adopted by him, Kaiyang will not only have a family, but also a big carriage when traveling. He can go to the academy to study, be well-dressed and well-fed every day, and he can become a high-ranking official in the future.
What's more, this big father is a good man, and Kaiyang will never suffer or be wronged when he comes to his house.
Thinking of this, Tianshu's tense shoulders relaxed and slumped down. He hoped that the seven brothers and sisters would always be together, but he couldn't interfere with it.
Inside the house, Kaiyang followed the guards in a little awkwardly. He didn't know why he called him alone.
"Mother." She called out and walked to stand beside Hong Xiaoduo.
Hong Xiaoduo stretched out his hand and pulled him in front of him: "Kaiyang, relax and don't be nervous. I called you here because I wanted to talk to you about something. I don't have a home, you know it. Besides, I There is no guarantee that I will always be by your side in the future. This great father wants to adopt you and make you his. Grandson, I just want to ask you what you mean."
After hearing this, Kaiyang tilted his head and glanced at Wei Junpei, then quickly turned away to look at Hong Xiaoduo: "Are you just adopting me? ?" Hong Xiaoduo nodded, looking at Kaiyang's clear eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable.
When Wei Junpei heard this, his heart sank.
"Mom, did you agree?" Kaiyang asked nervously, even though he had just heard her say that she wanted to ask what she meant.
Hong Xiaoduo shook his head: "This matter is related to your life, how can I make the decision and agree."
After hearing this, Kaiyang breathed a sigh of relief obviously: "I If you don’t go, I will always follow you, your brother, your sister, and your little sister.” These words were firm.
"Kaiyang, go back with your eldest father, and we can see each other even if you miss them in the future. Moreover, you will have your own yard, the love of your father, mother and eldest mother, and you can also go to the academy to study." Wei Junpei said quickly, Fight for it.
I thought that after saying this, the child would at least think about it again, but Kaiyang didn’t even think about it, and immediately responded: “No, Kaiyang just wants to follow my mother, brother and the others. , they also love me very much, and my mother will also teach us how to read.
Father, there are many children who are more suitable for me. You can choose one elsewhere.”
After saying that, Kaiyang stood back beside Hong Xiaoduo and reached out to hold her arm.
"Kaiyang, my eldest father only feels that he is in love with you. He was very happy when he saw you yesterday. Don't you also like your eldest father?" Wei Junpei saw that this child was so thoughtful and deeply felt. He knew that he could not be tempted by any family property and abundant food, clothing and snacks, so he could only use his old face to sensationalize him.
Kaiyang still held Hong Xiaoduo's arm. He felt that his mother would not forcefully order him to agree, and it was not that she didn't want him anymore. He felt confident in his heart: "Father, Kaiyang likes you just like he likes Granny Lanhua. , the mother-in-law in the clothing store is the same, but Kaiyang likes my mother more."< br>
The meaning of the child's words was very clear. Wei Junpei didn't know who the two mother-in-laws he was talking about were, but he understood what the child wanted to express, his position in Kaiyang's heart, and The two mothers-in-law whom I don't know are equal - not special!
This is very heartbreaking. Where is his dignified second-rank minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who can’t compare to the little lady who rescued them, Granny Lanhua, Granny of the tailor shop?
"Well, this matter was said a bit suddenly. In this way, my child, don't rush to make a decision. You can go back and think about it. I will continue to walk with you these days." Kaiyang Yue is like this, Wei Junpei liked this child more and more.
You may call a six-year-old child young, but he already knows how to be rich and what wealth means.
Hong Xiaoduo had no objection. He was about to say that that was it, but Kaiyang beside him spoke again: "Kaiyang, thank you for your love. There is no need to think about it anymore. Kaiyang will always follow his mother, and his brothers and sisters." ."
Unexpectedly, Wei Junpei stopped calling him "eldest father", and Wei Junpei's heart suddenly became cold.
An hour later, a carriage and a donkey cart stopped at the intersection of Guan Road.
"Yao Guang, why don't you go with your eldest father? Your eldest father will buy you many beautiful dresses and hairpin flowers. Whatever you want to eat, your eldest father will buy it for you." Wei Wei stood beside the donkey cart. The adult held the carriage door open and asked unwillingly.
If Kaiyang refuses, then it would be fine to choose the youngest as the granddaughter. A four-year-old baby should be easier to deceive...
