Chapter 54: Surprise
Yu Xiangwan looked at Lu Yingzheng eagerly.
She really wanted to adopt twins.
Lu Yingzheng held Yu Xiangwan's arm with his backhand: "Don't be impulsive, sit down and talk slowly."
Yu Xiangwan: "I'm not impulsive."
【I am serious.】
"Well," Lu Yingzheng held Yu Xiangwan's arm, "let's go to the living room and talk."
He is also very serious.
The two sat opposite each other at the table.
Lu Yingzheng was the first to speak: "When did you come up with this idea?"
Yu Xiangwan sat opposite Lu Yingzheng and felt like a prisoner being interrogated.
She straightened her back.
[No, I need to be tougher! ]
【I have thought it through carefully! 】
Yu Xiangwan cleared his throat and looked directly at Lu Yingzheng.
"After Sister Lin passed away."
She didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "At that time, I was thinking, these two children are still so young, what should I do in the future?"
"Lu Yan's mother, you also know that sending the child to her for raising is not helping the child, but harming the child!"
Yu Xiangwan was filled with righteous indignation: "After sending the child back, it is not certain whether he will still be in this world!"
Some elderly people have very stubborn ideas.
Even laws don’t work!
"So, what do you think?" Yu Xiangwan stared at Lu Yingzheng, not wanting to miss any of his expressions.
Lu Yingzheng pressed his lips into a straight line.
"Do you really want to raise one?"
Yu Xiangwan nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice. She thought Lu Yingzheng was worried about the money, so she said quickly, "I'll use my share of the money to raise the child. When we separate in the future, the child will stay with me."
[I don’t want to have children anyway, so if the children stay with me, I will definitely raise them well.]
Yu Xiangwan proved that although she was a little impulsive, she really wanted to raise a child.
"I don't want the pension either. You can give it to Lu Yanniang."
Lu Yingzheng shook his head: "It's not a question of money, nor is it a question of pensions."
He said calmly, "If we really want to adopt two children, we will definitely raise them together. You don't have to spend any money. I will raise them well and treat them as my own children."
Some comrades also adopted the children of their deceased comrades, and this is not an exception.
He can do it, too.
"But have you ever thought about it?"
"If we have children, we will still be connected even if we separate."
"It's a lifelong bond."
"We will always be their adoptive parents, so we must have a healthy relationship as a couple to be responsible to them."
"Are you really ready?"
Yu Xiangwan understood what Lu Yingzheng meant.
She said: "There is no deep hatred between us. Even if we separate in the future, we can still be friends."
[As long as you don't turn against me, I will definitely not turn against you. ]
Lu Yingzheng: "Okay."
He stood up: "Have we made the decision?"
"Yeah!" Yu Xiangwan stood up with him.
"So what should we do now? What should we prepare? How should we express our sincerity?" she asked impatiently.
Lu Yingzheng: "...I'll go ask the leader."
This was the first time he did something like this and he wasn't very clear about the process.
Lu Yingzheng felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer, "I'll go out for a while."
He ran out quickly, and a few seconds later, he flashed back and said, "You guys eat first, you don't have to wait for me."
That’s all, disappear.
Yu Xiangwan: ...
[A man like the wind! ]
【hey-hey!】
【Hope it works! 】
My mood, which had been gloomy for several days, suddenly became brighter.
She chased him to the door, thinking of Lu Yingzheng's back, and shouted loudly: "Lu Yingzheng, come on!"
Lu Yingzheng turned around and waved.
Yu Xiangwan grinned and laughed.
“Crack…”
Yu Xiangwan heard the door ring, turned around and saw Mrs. Yang coming out with a bowl of rice in her hands.
"Wanwan, I heard you guys talking at home, why are you cheering for me?"
Yu Xiangwan narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Keep it secret for now."
"It's so sticky." Mrs. Yang said with a smile.
Yu Xiangwan: “Hehe.”
[Until it's done, don't tell anyone. ]
She didn't say anything and Mrs. Yang didn't ask any further questions.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go back and cook first."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
After Yu Xiangwan entered, Yang's wife muttered, "It's so late, what are they talking about? Why don't they cook?"
When Lu Yingzheng returned, it was already completely dark.
Yu Xiangwan finally saw the person he was waiting for. He quickly pushed the person into a chair and enthusiastically served him food.
"It's been warming in the pot, it must be hot." She put her hands on the table and urged Lu Yingzheng to eat, "Eat quickly."
【Let’s talk after we finish eating. 】
Lu Yingzheng took a few bites of rice under Yu Xiangwan's scorching gaze.
She didn't ask, but from head to toe, including her inner thoughts, she was just about to be engraved with these two words - Speak now!
He should just say it first to put her at ease.
"I asked, and the leader said, theoretically, it is possible."
Yu Xiangwan's eyes lit up instantly as if a match was lit.
"But," Lu Yingzheng told her not to be too happy too soon, "after all, the twins still have their biological grandmother. We need to discuss this matter with her first."
"That's for sure." Yu Xiangwan had already made such a plan.
"Let's not have the pension, okay?" She poked at the table and looked at Lu Yingzheng.
Lu Yingzheng nodded without hesitation: "We are not doing this for the pension."
Yu Xiangwan suddenly laughed.
Then, she put away her smile again: "But Lu Yanniang... this may not be easy."
"It doesn't matter if I raise a child for free. I am happy about it. But I don't want to be entangled with her."
【The old lady is so annoying. 】
Lu Yingzheng naturally thought of this level.
However, he had to correct Yu Xiangwan's statement first: "You are not the only one who did this. I was also involved. So, it's not that you are happy about it, but that we are all happy about it."
Yu Xiangwan blinked, and after a few seconds, she readily accepted this statement.
"Okay, I understand."
Lu Yingzheng emphasized: "I am not only your supporter, I am also your partner. This task needs us to accomplish together."
"I would love to raise them."
Yu Xiangwan nodded heavily: "Yes!"
[I hope you can give me more support, my partner! ]
She suddenly remembered something: "Oh, then we have to talk to Xiao Xiao."
"She is also a member of our family and has the right to know this."
【Children’s minds are very sensitive. We cannot forget the old children just because we have new ones! 】
Yu Xiangwan remembered a song: I have new friends, but I don’t forget my old friends…
A familiar melody seemed to ring in her ears, and she couldn't help but giggle to herself.
Although Lu Yingzheng didn't know what she was laughing at, his expression looked much more relaxed.
"Of course."
Yu Xiangwan high-fived.
Even though things haven't been done yet, she has already started looking forward to it.
"I am happy just thinking about having a new baby in our family!"
Lu Yingxiao came back from Teacher Zheng's house, and before he even entered the courtyard, he heard his sister-in-law say this.
Her eyes widened in surprise!
My brother and sister-in-law are going to have a baby?!
