But before that, there is one more important thing.

"One, Mom agrees, but we need to ask for opinions on two and three."

She would definitely agree to the first one, but she would still need to consult with the second and third ones. They also had the right to choose whether to have more members in the family.

"Yeah!" Peng Yitiao nodded, his eyes sparkling.

Lu Jiamu and the others nodded, and indeed wanted to ask the child's opinion.

"Er Tiao, come here quickly." Cheng Zhenzhu waved to Er Tiao who was squatting at the door.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Peng Ertiao ran over quickly with a smile on his face, followed by two Sitiao and Wutiao who were struggling with their short legs.

Cheng Zhenzhu patted the two little heads and asked, "Er Tiao, San Tiao, how about Xiao An being your younger brother?"

"He's my little brother." Peng Ertiao replied to his mother, looking puzzled. How could such a small boy want to be a big brother?

"Mom is saying that we should let my brother live in our house from now on. What do you think?"

"Brother, fish balls are here, lots of them~" Peng Sandiao opened his mouth and opened his eyes wide and round.

I have a younger brother. Look how many fish balls he has!

Cheng Zhenzhu looked at San Tiao, who was clapping his hands happily in her arms, and said with a smile, "So our San Tiao wants this little brother?"

"I want a little brother, lots of them." Peng Sandiao spread out his hands, his little face showing an unusually happy expression.

Is the little brother coming to their house? Peng Er turned the light around. Does that mean there are a lot of small coins? I can buy a lot of meat.

He wanted to, but also seemed to not want to... Peng Ertiao's round little head started to spin rapidly.

"Okay, even though the baby is ugly, he's not this ugly..." Peng Ertiao scratched his chin and said generously, "I can also make a nest for him, just like Four and Five."

A lot? Make a nest?

Cheng Zhenzhu laughed. How could two or three be so interesting? The world of children is really simple...

Qian Dawei and others were also amused by the childish talk.

"Comrade Lu, I have something I would like to seek your consent for." Since points two and three had been agreed to, she no longer had any worries.

"Sister-in-law Cheng, please speak." Seeing Cheng Zhenzhu's serious tone, Lu Jiamu couldn't help but become serious too.

"Comrade Lu, if possible, I would like to adopt Xiao An. Not foster him with me, but let Xiao An become their younger brother."

"Sister Cheng wants to adopt Xiao An?" Lu Jiamu was speechless. He hadn't expected that Sister Cheng would actually talk about this...

"Yes, adopt Xiao An, and the child will no longer have the surname Lu."

The subtext is that this child has nothing to do with you anymore.

Sister Zhenzhu wants to adopt this child? You Yumei was shocked.

Then I vaguely understood something.

She was also wondering why Sister Pearl didn't help take care of them herself and brought the two comrades to her side.

It turns out that Pearl didn’t want to help raise the baby, but to adopt it directly!

But she only understood a little bit, and most of it was not clear.

This little brat is eating his father out of house and home. Sister Pearl already has three boys at home, why does she want to raise one more? Is she crazy?

Qian Dawei couldn't help but look at Cheng Zhenzhu twice more.

Lu Jiamu looked at Cheng Zhenzhu's calm face, paused, and said, "Sister-in-law Cheng, please continue."

"Comrade Lu, if you agree to let me adopt Xiao An, then I won't need your money or tickets."

Oh my, is this Pearl girl really stupid? Look at what she's saying! You Yumei was completely furious. Raising a child is not easy, how come she doesn't need money or tickets? Isn't it delicious to buy meat for five yuan?

"Mom?" Peng Ertiao's eyes widened. If he didn't want money, wouldn't he have no extra meat?

Cheng Zhenzhu touched Er Tiao and continued, "Comrade Lu, since this child is Comrade Fang's orphan, he should be entitled to a pension. I only want his share; I don't need Comrade Lu to supplement mine."

I guess Comrade Lu adopted Xiao An because Comrade Fang had some problems with his relatives... But I believe that with Comrade Lu's ability, he will be able to help Xiao An get the pension he deserves.

Of course, this is based on Comrade Lu's consent for me to adopt Xiao An."

Looking at Cheng Zhenzhu who was writing in front of him in a sonorous and fluent voice, Lu Jiamu suddenly felt as if he didn't recognize her.

Although they had only met a few times, Cheng's sister-in-law had never given me this impression before. Was it because she had experienced such a great tragedy that she had changed so much?

This feeling is so strange.

So that's what Sister Zhenzhu had in mind. Aiqing's monthly allowance is eight yuan. Comrade Fang is a soldier, so his allowance should be a bit more. But... You Yumei looked at Cheng Zhenzhu with a worried look on her face.

She still felt that Pearl was possessed by a demon.

Lu Jiamu: "Sister-in-law Cheng, I need to think about this."

"Of course." Cheng Zhenzhu picked up Er Tiao who was leaning in her arms.

"Sister-in-law Cheng, wait a moment." After Qian Dawei said that, he pulled Lu Jiamu aside.

"Jia Mu, since Sister Cheng is willing, let Sister Cheng adopt the child. I think Xiao An likes it very much. It's not convenient for you to take care of a child alone. It's not good for Xiao An to find someone to foster him here and there." Qian Dawei really didn't know what his good brother was hesitating about for such a good thing.

"Just leaving the child to Sister Cheng will add too much burden to her. I know she feels sorry for the child, but it's not easy for her either..." Lu Jiamu expressed his thoughts.

"Having more children does bring more burdens, but Sister Cheng is willing, and Xiao An is happy too. Isn't this a good thing that we both want and want?"

Lu Jiamu pursed his lips.

"I just heard Sister Cheng wanted Xiao An's pension. That's what she deserves. Sister Guanjun should really give her a heads-up. If you feel bad for Sister Cheng, just add a little more and I'll add a little too."

"Let me handle the matter with Champion's brother and sister-in-law." Lu Jiamu no longer hesitated.
