Chapter 79: Yuan Hui Gets Jealous After Kissing His Big Brother?

The old man's heavy tone made Ji Yining take her father seriously once again.

When she was a child, she thought that her father didn't care about his children's growth at all, and that he devoted his limited energy to his military career.

Later, when she grew up, she realized that her father had always been concerned about the whereabouts of his missing sister.

Only now does she seem to truly understand her father.

He talks little, but does a lot.

He persisted in searching for his daughter for so many years, and even though he loved Zhizhi dearly, he wished he could see her every day.

Yet she still considers Zhizhi's future, willing to sacrifice her own feelings for her granddaughter in order to protect the child's happy family.

Ji Yining remained silent for a long time before asking, "The claim that our family is unlucky is all a lie. My sister-in-law's miscarriage was an accident. As long as we can truly prove that Zhizhi is our family's child, we can take her back and raise her properly. We can even register her under my name. I will never marry and will treat her like my own daughter."

What evidence do you have?

Ji Zeguo forced a slightly bitter smile. "I only sent someone to Sangjiapo to inquire, and Sang Lao Er already found her by following her scent. If we really announced that Zhizhi is a child of the Ji family, how many people would be eyeing her covetously? Moreover... what evidence can prove that she is related to us by blood?"

Ji Yining fell completely silent.

Currently, China's medical development is lagging behind, and at most, it can only perform HLA blood typing, with an accuracy rate of only 80%. Not only are the results unstable, but even if a result is obtained, it may put the baby in a dilemma.

Ji Yining waved her hand, "Whatever. I'll be leaving soon anyway. If that child really is my sister's, I'll take it back no matter what."

"You dare!"

"I wouldn't dare? Do you think my older brother would just stand by and watch Zhizhi stay at someone else's house after he comes back?"

Military dependents' compound

The adults were all sitting around in the Jiang family's courtyard, discussing the matter animatedly.

"It's good that you found him. Gan Su was really brave. Old Jiang, you've raised a good son!"

"Look how anxious your Aunt Wen is. Her eyes are all swollen from crying. She won't be the most beautiful girl in the performing arts troupe anymore. Don't cry anymore, or you'll look ugly."

"Haha, Zhenwei, that kid, has been asking all afternoon where his sister and brother went, making a fuss about going to find them."

Wen Qingqian cried the loudest, feeling so guilty she wanted to disappear into the ground.

“I don’t even dare to think about what would happen if I really couldn’t find my two children. How could I have the face to live? What use is this face? I might as well just kill myself.”

"Aunt Wen, don't cry, don't cry."

Little Zhizhi sensibly took her hand and gently comforted her, "I'm back safe and sound, aren't I? Auntie, you didn't do it on purpose. Who would have thought the candied hawthorn seller was a bad guy?"

Deng Qiu nodded, comforting Wen Qingqian, "Don't blame yourself. It was a premeditated gang crime. We couldn't have avoided it just by being careful."

There were outsiders present, so she couldn't directly say that it was a trap set by Sang Lao Er.

Seeing her best friend crying like that, she felt a little guilty.

Seeing that the child had been successfully found, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Jiang Anchao suggested that all the military dependents go out to a restaurant together in a couple of days to thank their neighbors for helping to find the child.

Although many of these military dependents were rural women from the countryside, they were all very simple and honest.

She quickly rejected his suggestion.

After all, prices are incredibly high these days. If everyone ate at a state-run restaurant, it would probably cost Commander Jiang's entire month's salary.

As night deepened, everyone left the Jiang family home.

Only Yuan Jia and Cui Ping remained to continue cleaning up the melon seeds and fruit shells in the yard.

Deng Qiu cooked a large pot of clear soup noodles and generously added dozens of poached eggs.

"Don't bother cleaning, I'll take care of it later. Cuiping, Qingqian, you two come and eat!"

She brought two large enamel basins, and the adults sat at one table while the children sat at another, gathering in the living room.

The warm yellow light from the chandelier shone on everyone's faces, creating an atmosphere of joyful relief after surviving a disaster.

The television was turned on, playing the cartoons that children love to watch.

"Brother, you eat first!"

Since Su's hands were not in a good position, Zhizhi took the initiative to fill a bowl with noodles and place it in front of her older brother. When she smiled, her dimples appeared and disappeared. "It's a little hot, let Zhizhi blow on it to cool it down for you!"

"Oh, Zhizhi is so sensible, she knows how to take care of her brother."

Cuiping joked from the side.

Zhizhi chuckled, "Big brother protects me, so I should be good to big brother too."

Gan Su's ears were so red they were practically bleeding. He silently took out the gift he had been drawing for a long time from the desk drawer.

"Stop bragging, I can do it myself. This... this is for you."

"What?"

The little girl looked at the thin notebook covered in red crayon marks in her hand, opened it curiously, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"When was this done? It's from the household registration book!"

The little cub excitedly flipped through the pages, discovering that the older brother's drawings were very realistic. But that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that on the first page of the household registration book, his own name was clearly displayed as the head of household.

The older brother drew the column for Dad and the column for Mom.

The eldest brother and the youngest brother were placed last.

As Zhizhi watched, she felt like she was about to pee her eyes again.

“I just mentioned it casually last time, but my older brother took it to heart.”

The older brother is only five years old, and he was afraid it wouldn't be realistic enough, so he made this hand-drawn household registration booklet, imitating the size and the words in each column of the real household registration booklet.

The only difference is that Zhizhi is on the first page, in the most prominent position.

Moreover, he put himself last, even putting the younger brother in front of him.

The little cub cradled his chubby face, so touched that his heart softened.

"Big brother, you are so good to Zhizhi."

Gan Su lowered his head somewhat uncomfortably. "Legally, Dad is the head of our household, but in our family, you can be the head of the household."

Since he cannot change the ranking order at the household registration office.

Then let's make a 'family household registration book' that belongs only to Zhizhi by hand.

"Waaah!" Tears welled up in Zhizhi's eyes, and she gave her older brother a big kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, big brother! I'm so happy, I'm going to eat three big bowls of noodles today!"

'Clang!' Yuan Hui's soup spoon fell into the bowl.

He looked at Zhizhi's actions in surprise.

Gan Su was even more embarrassed after his sister kissed him, and he almost wanted to bury his face in the bowl.

"Hahaha, Yuan Hui, what are you so shocked about? Isn't it normal for a sister to be her older brother?"

Wen Qingqian was a little amused and exasperated. Zhizhi was expressing her gratitude to her brother, and she kissed his cheek, not his lips.

Why is my own son so agitated?

"Is Xiaohui jealous?"

Cuiping's casual remark caused Yuan Hui to blush deeply.

Yuan Hui pursed her lips and explained awkwardly, "No, I... I accidentally dropped it."

The children's antics amused the adults.

Just as the atmosphere in the living room was harmonious, a rustling sound suddenly came from outside the dean's room.

Immediately afterwards, a large bag of things was thrown into the yard.

With a loud 'bang!'
