Xu Jianghai came out leaning on his cane. "Xiaoying, Xiaolan, if you're willing, you can recognize your Aunt Xie as your godmother. You can stay at home or go to the Xie family if you want. Dad will pay child support."
Almost immediately, the two sisters said in unison, "We're willing, we want to go to Aunt Xie's house."
This single sentence not only expresses the sisters' wishes but also reflects Xu Jianghai's failure as a father.
The Xu family is not a home, but a cage, a hell, an abyss with no way out.
If he had shown even the slightest bit more attention to the child, Zhou Miao, no matter how displeased, would not have dared to be so bold.
Xie Guihua was overjoyed, "You're willing to recognize me as your godmother, right?"
"Yes, Mom. From now on, you will be our mom."
As Xu Ying grew older, she remembered more things and understood even more how pitiful it was for a child to be without a mother's protection.
Sincerity begets sincerity, and with the same love as a mother, Xie Guihua is like a second mother to him.
"Mom, Xiaolan is willing too." Xu Lan's face was covered with tears, but her eyes were very firm.
Her father didn't love them, but Aunt Xie could give her and her sister the same warmth as their mother. If she had to choose, she would choose Aunt Xie.
Xie Guihua burst into tears of joy, "Good, good, from now on I'm your mother. If anyone dares to bully you again, tell your mother, and I will definitely get justice for you."
"Xiaoying, Xiaolan, Mom will take you home now. When Dad comes back, we'll have a big meal to celebrate. Mom also bought some fabric to make you new clothes, because your old clothes don't fit anymore."
Xie Guihua really didn't mean to hurt Xu Jianghai's feelings. The two children had been back from the countryside for several days, and Zhou Miao hadn't bought them any new clothes since they came to the city.
It's getting cool, so I'm wearing last year's clothes, with long sleeves and trousers now cropped at the ankle.
Xu Jianghai was so ashamed that he limped back into the house and handed over a wad of banknotes to Xie Guihua.
"Comrade Xie, you've gone to so much trouble for the children. I'll give you twenty yuan a month for their upbringing."
Ten yuan per child, not too much, not too little, Xie Guihua accepted it without thinking. This was what the children deserved. She wouldn't spend the money; she would save it for the children when they grew up.
“No need to worry, they are my children too. Deputy Battalion Commander Xu, I will take the children back. They were frightened, and I want them to rest in peace.”
The four animals crouching at the foot of the wall nodded in unison, "Yes, we were scared. We need to rest. There are bad people here, and we can't rest well."
One of them, for some reason, asked, "Mom, how much does it cost you to raise Shishi each month?"
Zhang Tong thought about it carefully, "It should be more than ten yuan."
Shishi counted on her fingers, "It's not just ten yuan, it's fifteen yuan, or twenty yuan? Mom, is Shishi so expensive?"
"Yes, Shishi is Mom's precious baby, and Mom is willing to give Shishi any amount of money."
"Oh, so Xu Ying and Xu Lan aren't treasures, they're only worth ten yuan."
Xu Jianghai silently went into the house, took out 10 yuan and stuffed it into Xie Guihua's hand, "Comrade Xie, I will give you 30 yuan every month as child support."
He earns 76 yuan a month, gives 30 yuan to the couple, and the rest they can save for their future son by being frugal.
Zhou Miao was extremely unwilling. She had just made a mistake and dared not utter a sound, her face contorted with anger.
All of the Xu family's money should belong to her son. Why should those two wretched girls get so much?
Originally, Xie Guihua thought 20 yuan was enough. Seeing her contorted face, she snorted inwardly and accepted it calmly, silently thanking the mother and daughter for getting benefits for the two sisters.
"Okay, I've got it. Don't worry, I'll treat Xiaoying and Xiaolan like my own daughters."
Liu Mei coughed lightly as she entered, "Oh, not bad, not bad. There's good news in our compound. Xie Guihua, would you mind if we went to ask for a cup of tea?"
With her supporter arriving, Xie Guihua certainly wouldn't turn them away.
"No problem, of course not. Aunt Zhang, Aunt Liu, I just bought some pastries. Please come to my house for some tea."
"Comrade Zhou Shi, children, come to my house too. I've bought some meat buns."
The two sisters each took two sets of clothes and went to the Xie family.
Zhang Tong and Liu Mei, along with their four children and three chickens, witnessed the joyous occasion of the two sisters recognizing each other as godmothers.
Xie Guihua went to great lengths to distribute candy to her neighbors and openly declared that she would recognize the two children as godparents.
When Xie Daliang returned home after training, he was greeted by his wife, who was holding one of their two little daughters' hands. Their cheerful voices called out "Daddy!" one after another, making Xie Daliang grin and show his big teeth. They picked each of them up and spun them around in turns.
"Haha, I have a daughter now, Xiaoying, Xiaolan, call me 'Daddy' again."
"dad."
"dad."
The back window of Xu's room overlooks Xie Daliang's house, and the interaction between the father and his two daughters, along with the children's clear laughter, pierces his heart.
Xiaoying, Xiaolan, I'm sorry, it's because Daddy wasn't good enough. I hope you can both be happy in the future.
"Dad, isn't Shishi amazing? She paid child support to Xu Ying and Xu Lan."
At the Xiao family dinner table, Shishi didn't forget to share her achievements.
She asked her mother on purpose, because Zhou Miao had a dark face and disagreed with her husband, Old Xu, giving her money.
If you don't agree to give 20 yuan, then give 30 yuan.
"Amazing, my Shishi is like this." Xiao Dan gave a thumbs up affectionately.
"As a deputy battalion commander, he made a huge profit by giving someone 30 yuan to raise their child. What more could he want? If it were me, I wouldn't hesitate to take 40 yuan from him."
"Huh? Did Shishi say too little? Can it be changed?" The person who had just been praised was a little annoyed.
Professor Tang, who had unusually returned for dinner, tapped her head.
"30 yuan is not a small amount. Shishi is great. Your dad is just angry and that's why he said so much. If he asks for too much, Zhou Miao might cause trouble again. It's not necessarily a good thing."
"Is what the master chef said true? Raising a child for 15 yuan a month is a lot?"
"It's true, but our Shishi is the most expensive, costing more than 15 yuan, and our Shishi also makes money herself."
"Yes, Shishi is the most expensive." The cocky corpse straightened his back, his eyes brightening. "Master, did Shishi make money again?"
"Yes, the lie detector chair blueprints you drew before have complete data. All we need to do is gather the materials and make the finished product to verify it."
"I have already applied for funding and materials from above. If successful, your reward will be substantial."
Professor Tang's eyes were overflowing with doting affection. His apprentice was too outstanding; he had to work harder to keep up.
Oh, it's a lie detector chair. The reward is definitely in order.
Guagua is the most amazing; nothing can stump it.
Guagua says: Master, the data in my brain is all your doing. You're amazing, not me.
"Old Xiao, the team leader from Nanwa Village came over and said that a dead rat was found in the village's freshwater well, so the water is temporarily unusable. He asked if we could get water from here."
Just after we finished eating, Li Pengfei came over, accompanied by the captain who looked very worried.
