Lin Wu's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "Why don't you adopt her, Uncle Zhu? She'll keep Fanfan company and keep him company."

It's inconvenient for a grown man like him to bring a girl along. He brought Xiaofang back because she looked so much like Fanfan, both with a pitiful expression that softened his heart, and he thought the two girls could get along well.

Zhu Jiabao said bluntly, "Which eye of yours saw that brat was lonely? She thoroughly enjoys the treatment of being an only granddaughter. Xiao Wuzi, once you make a decision, you have to take responsibility for it. Besides, your aunt and I are getting old and don't have the energy to raise another child."

Why would he adopt a child of unknown origin when there are so many orphans of martyrs to care for? It may be harsh, but it is the truth.

He could never forget that countless five-year-old children sacrificed their lives as Boy Scouts. They acted out scenes to lure the enemy into an ambush, and even took up arms to fight the Japanese. Afterwards, they bandaged the wounded, treating them like adults. He would never underestimate any child.

Lin Wu lowered his head in shame: "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhu. I spoke without thinking. I will definitely be a responsible father and I will definitely treat Xiao Fang well."

Zhu Jiabao sighed: "Lu Gui, you have to treat everyone equally, otherwise your sworn brother will feel very disheartened. Judging from the name, your sworn brother is full of hope for the child."

For rural people, words like "fortune," "nobility," and "gold" simply express their expectations for their children: to take good care of them and ensure their sworn brothers are not uneasy in the afterlife. That's all they can say.

Lin Wu assured him, "Uncle, don't worry, I will treat everyone equally and will not discriminate."

Zhu Jiabao said, "There are no suitable houses in the compound. You've been looking for a place to stay all day. Do you have any suitable accommodations?"

Lin Wu said, "There are residential buildings not far away. I found one and we'll move there tomorrow. The two children will start their preschool class the day after tomorrow. I've prepared breakfast for them to take to school this morning, and I've already arranged to heat it up for them."

Although the residential compound where they live is quite large, all the children live there, so they go home for lunch, eat, and then come back to school. Lü Gui and his classmates are in a special situation. They only need to tell the teacher in the preschool class that they can heat up their lunch there and rest for a while before the teacher picks them up after work.

Now that everything was prepared, Zhu Jiabao said nothing more. They were all adults and knew what they should and shouldn't do.

Zhu Fanfan's life continued as usual. Every day, he would either learn something from this grandfather or that grandmother, or practice anatomy with his great-grandfather at the hospital. Because of his super memory, his great-grandfather thought he could memorize books while taking pulses. This is what is meant by theory and practice being indispensable, so he arranged for him to take pulses as well.

So Zhu Fanfan was like a spinning top constantly being whipped, never stopping for herself for a moment. She also had to find time to learn internal strength from her grandfather. She suddenly realized that her goal from beginning to end was to be a lazy bum. How did she end up like this?

However, there was a small incident at the school. Lü Gui and Lin Xiaofang were both in the Yuhong class, and it wasn't time for their promotion exam yet. Tuition was paid monthly, but Jiang Yu was sent there as well.

Because she was still thinking about her promise to Zhu Fanfan, she waited for him in the square every day. But Zhu Fanfan never showed up. She heard that she had been in the hospital the whole time. Feeling wronged by being played, she would curse a few times whenever she thought about it.

After Lin Xiaofang found out, she asked a few more questions and learned that Zhu Fanfan was adopted, not her biological child. The news spread unintentionally, but no one paid any attention to it.

Most of the children here live in the apartment buildings, in a large compound. Their families have warned them not to go to the smaller buildings unless necessary, as most of them are high-rises. They will still be working there after returning home, and there may be confidential documents. To avoid suspicion, they will not visit each other's homes.

Moreover, almost none of them knew Zhu Fanfan, had never heard of her, and had no recollection of her, so they didn't pay attention. They only knew that someone in the small building had adopted her, and that was all.

However, Lin Damei overheard this and immediately sent Ming Laosan to the preschool class. He didn't want to go at first because his brothers had to do homework every day and didn't have time to play. They were also scolded by the teacher, so he tried to put it off as long as possible. But when he heard that someone was ruining his sister Miaomiao's reputation, he signed up for school without saying a word.

Since they were all in the same class, when he heard someone say that Sister Miaomiao was bad, he started arguing with them. I don't know what happened, but he and Jiang Yu started fighting. Naturally, there were people trying to break up the fight, but for some reason, those trying to break up the fight also started fighting. In the end, it turned into a group fight, and afterwards a group of parents were called over.

The scene was filled with howling and wailing. They were supposed to be here to learn, but instead they were fighting at school. In front of the teachers, there was a lecture of love and discipline. In particular, when Grandma Jiang saw her grandsons beating themselves up like pigs, she even threatened to beat them up properly.

Ming Laosan wasn't intimidated. He declared that Jiang Yu was spreading rumors that were detrimental to unity and deserved to be beaten. When Jiang Laotai tried to beat him, he ran away in a flash, shouting that he would definitely fight back when his grandma came. The teacher, wanting to resolve the issue, naturally tried to stop him, but Ming Laosan was like an eel that no one could catch.

Until Lin Damei arrived, she immediately shielded the child behind her. Regardless of who was right or wrong, as long as her child wasn't wronged, she and Grandma Jiang started arguing again. The other parents tried to smooth things over, but the two old ladies got so worked up that they almost came to blows. Naturally, Lin Damei won. She had never been afraid of arguing or fighting.

The Zhu family was unaware of this matter until Old Madam Jiang came to apologize to them that evening. The three members of the Zhu family were still bewildered. It was as if they were sitting at home when trouble came out of nowhere.

Jiang Yu directly accused Zhu Fanfan of breaking her promise, saying that they would have a duel the next day but then she didn't show up.

Zhu Fanfan was speechless. Didn't she express her stance by complaining? However, she did forget to make one thing clear: "I deliberately made an appointment with you so that I could complain in advance. Don't you know that whoever complains first gains the upper hand? Besides, you can't even withstand one move from me. No matter how many times we compete, you will lose. It's a waste of time."

Upon hearing the answer, Jiang Yu couldn't take it anymore and burst into tears, crying and saying that Zhu Fanfan was a big liar and that she would never be friends with her again.

Zhu Fanfan looked completely innocent: "I didn't intend to be friends with a spoiled brat."

Jiang Yu became even angrier after hearing this, and ran away crying. He vowed never to talk to Zhu Fanfan again.

Grandma Jiang apologized and left, using the excuse of chasing after the child. Zhu Fanfan shrugged indifferently: "I suffered an undeserved misfortune. I'm the one who's most wronged."

She diligently studied her medical skills and didn't attend the pediatric training class, so they never even met. Yet, a group of people gossiped about her, and she didn't even feel wronged!

Just then, Lin Wu arrived with two children.
