Looking at her retreating figure, Jiang Jingxue felt nothing but heartache.

Beside her, a large hand grasped hers.

"I really like this child."

Gu Pingwei spoke up from the side.

“I had someone submit the application overnight, and the organization gave us special permission to adopt the child.”

"In addition... my parents also know about this, and they are very supportive."

Gu Pingwei's voice was not loud, but it was deep and pleasant to the ear.

"real?"

Jiang Jingxue turned her head back in surprise.

Seeing the affirmative look in Gu Pingwei's eyes.

She couldn't help but hug him.

"Thank you, Gu Pingwei!"

Jiang Jingxue was very emotional.

She hadn't expected him to be so efficient, getting the adoption approval so quickly and even managing to win over his parents.

Jiang Jingxue's advances left Gu Pingwei somewhat overwhelmed, yet he also felt a strange sense of enjoyment.

"Cough cough."

A cough sounded from the side.

Dr. Niu was quite old, and this scene was simply unbearable for him to witness.

Realizing someone was nearby, Jiang Jingxue quickly let go of Gu Pingwei and, pretending nothing had happened, straightened his collar.

"By the way, Dr. Niu, I'll need to trouble you to take Panpan to my place later so I can have a chat with her."

Adoption is a big deal, and she needs to consult Panpan's opinion and hear her thoughts.

Dr. Niu smiled, his face covered in wrinkles.

"No problem. It's a blessing for Panpan to have met you in this life."

night.

Dr. Niu brought Panpan over.

Panpan appeared somewhat reserved in front of Jiang Jingxue and Gu Pingwei.

"Panpan, don't be afraid. Sister Jiang called you here today because she has something very important to discuss with you."

Jiang Jingxue made her sit on a stool and made her a cup of orange powder, a drink that children love.

Panpan sat there timidly, holding the cup, but dared not drink a drop of water. She dared not drink too much of this good stuff.

"This is Uncle Gu, Sister Jiang's fiancé."

"We'd like to adopt a child. Would you be willing to be our child and live with us from now on?"

Panpan was stunned.

On the way there, Dr. Niu hummed a little tune and told her that Sister Jiang had some really great news for her.

She racked her brains for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything good.

When Panpan was suddenly told by Sister Jiang that she wanted to adopt her, she was shocked. She even wondered if she had misheard.

Panpan stood there stunned for a long time without answering.

"Panpan, are you... unwilling?"

Jiang Jingxue was a little disappointed.

However, she also understands that children are naturally attached to their homes.

Especially since Panpan is so young, being suddenly adopted by two strangers and brought to live in an unfamiliar environment, she must not be able to adapt.

Panpan pinched her arm hard.

I'm sure I'm not dreaming.

Panpan nodded hurriedly, "Sister Jiang, I'm willing!"

"Sister Jiang, I can do everything! I can do housework, feed the chickens, ducks and geese! And when you have your own little brothers and sisters in the future, I will help you take care of them!"

"Sister Jiang, I eat very little. Give me whatever you leave behind, I won't be picky! I don't want new clothes or shoes, and I don't want to go to school. I just want a place to live."

To prove her competence, Panpan frantically wiped the table with her sleeves and picked up the dirty clothes on the chair to wash them.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Jingxue felt heartbroken.

What kind of life did she live before?

Even Gu Pingwei felt particularly uncomfortable.

“Panpan, Sister Jiang and Uncle Gu adopted you because they wanted you to be their daughter, not to do chores. Adults will do those chores, you don’t need to worry about them. You just need to grow up happily and study happily, just like other children who are pampered by their parents.”

Jiang Jingxue put her hands on Panpan's shoulders and spoke very seriously.

Panpan was immersed in Jiang Jingxue's words, but she couldn't imagine what kind of scene it was.

Because she always felt that not having to work, being able to eat her fill, and being able to go to school were things that were far removed from her life, so far removed that they seemed unrealistic.

"Major, Madam, it's time for dinner."

Chen Hong brought dinner into the tent.

Just as Panpan was about to lower her head and move aside, Jiang Jingxue called out to her.

"Panpan, let's eat together."

Panpan was settled in the chair.

Looking at the food on the table, she didn't dare to touch her chopsticks.

Back home, Panpan never received this kind of treatment.

No matter what the meal is, Dad always eats first, then Mom and her sisters, and finally her.

There was never enough food at home to begin with, and we often didn't have enough to eat.

Every time it was her turn, she could only lick the last bit of leftover food from the bottom of the bowl.

"Panpan, stop daydreaming and eat!"

Jiang Jingxue handed Panpan a white steamed bun.

Panpan stared at it for a long time, but finally couldn't resist and took a bite.

The white steamed buns get sweeter the more you chew them, they're so delicious!

She seemed to have never eaten anything so delicious before!

Each person has a bowl of porridge, and there are two dishes on the table: a small plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes and a small plate of stir-fried cabbage with meat.

Panpan simply ate her steamed buns and drank the porridge in front of her; she didn't dare touch the dishes on the table at all.

Jiang Jingxue and Gu Pingwei served food to Panpan, and even picked out the meat for her to eat.
