"Let's not do it..." An An evaded.
Just then, Ji Feng came running in: "Woof woof woof."
It rushed directly to An An's side and circled around him. It missed An An after not seeing him for two days.
An An looked at Ji Feng who suddenly appeared, her eyes full of surprise, then she hugged Ji Feng and said excitedly: "Ji Feng, you're back! I missed you so much!"
Ma Aidang watched from the side and scratched his head with a few fingers. It seemed that Jifeng had only been away from home for two days. During the Chinese New Year, he hadn't seen An An for nearly a month. How could An An never miss him as much as she missed Jifeng?
When An An didn't know, Ma Aidang was secretly jealous.
"Jifeng, you're back. Is mom back too?" An An asked.
Ji Feng nodded to An An and looked outside the door.
An An turned around as if he had telepathy, and saw his mother standing at the door, smiling at him.
An An was delighted, and immediately put down the pen in her hand, jumped up happily and ran out: "Mom, you're back!"
Li Xia hugged her oldest son, An An, and said, "Mom misses you so much. Do you miss me?"
An An nodded: "I thought about it."
He missed her very much. Although this time was different from last year when his mother told him to go to the county town, he knew very well that his mother would definitely come back this time, but he still couldn't help missing her.
After he finished speaking, he looked up at Gu Weicheng who was standing at the door and said, "I miss Dad, too."
Gu Weicheng heard these words, which were obviously not of the same order as the words "I miss my mother". He knew that his son added this sentence because he was afraid that he would be jealous.
He saw through it but didn't say it out loud, but he had to admit that if his wife did this, he would definitely feel jealous, but when his son said this, it seemed okay and he didn't feel jealous at all.
Gu Weicheng sent Li Xia home and then had to report to the army. After giving instructions, he left.
Thinking of the plan to let Tiantian stay at home for a few days, Li Xia said to An An: "An An, Mom brought a sister with her this time. She has no parents. Mom wants to help her through the organization, but before the organization comes up with a plan, Mom wants her to stay at our house for two days. Is that okay?"
"Okay." An An nodded. It was really pitiful to be without parents.
"Mom will introduce her to you. Her name is Tiantian. Tiantian, this is An An and Aidang." Li Xia took An An and Ma Aidang to the yard and introduced them to each other.
"Hello." An An took the initiative to greet Tian Tian.
Ma Aidang came over and asked, "Which sweet is the sweet in your name? Is it the field in farming?"
Tiantian looked at the two boys in front of her. One of them was still and the other was moving, but what was the same was that their eyes were full of kindness.
An An and Ma Aidang are very friendly to Tiantian, their new friend. An An takes out his favorite picture book and reads it with Tiantian.
Ma Aidang secretly stole the key to the cupboard where his mother had hidden it, and took out the peach cakes, fruit candies and other things hidden inside.
When Mrs. Tao came back, she couldn't find the key to the cupboard. She ran to Li Xia's house and found out that the bad boy had stolen the key. She was so angry that she slapped Ma Aidang on the butt.
"I don't want to eat it, I just want to give it to Sister Tiantian. Look how thin she is, I feel so sorry for her!" Ma Aidang covered his butt and said aggrievedly.
Only then did Mrs. Tao notice Tiantian. She felt really sorry for the child because she was so thin.
I didn't want to say anything at first, but when I saw Ma Aidang saying that these things were for Tiantian to eat, but he ate more than anyone else, I couldn't help it and twisted Ma Aidang's butt a few times in anger.
"I didn't know you. You said you were going to give food to others, but you ate more than anyone else!"
Li Xia was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard the noise outside, she hurried out and asked, "Sister-in-law, what happened? Did the Ai Dang make you angry again?"
She didn't know yet that Ai Dang had stolen the cupboard key.
Seeing Li Xia, Mrs. Tao smiled and said, "It's okay. Don't you know this kid? I'd be surprised if he didn't make me angry one day. By the way, Xiao Li, I have something to ask you."
As they talked, the two of them walked into the kitchen together. Before Sister Tao opened her mouth, Li Xia guessed what she wanted to ask and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you want to ask me something sweet, right?"
"You are really smart. You guessed it before I even opened my mouth." Mrs. Tao said with a smile.
Li Xia told Sister Tao about Tiantian's life story. When she talked about Tiantian and her mother, Sister Tao's eyes became moist:
"This child is so pitiful. I don't know if my family can adopt a child in this situation. If I can, I would like to adopt her. Anyway, I have always wanted to have another daughter, and Lao Ma is not doing well. There has been no news for such a long time, so I might as well adopt one."
Li Xia smiled and didn't comment on what Mrs. Tao said.
He just said, "Let's wait for the army to notify us about the specific situation."
Mrs. Tao asked her how the comfort women were doing, and Li Xia told her everything.
When Mrs. Tao heard that the villagers not only did not take good care of Wang Qiaofang and the others, but instead avoided them and thought they were dirty, she was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and cursed: "If I were there, I would slap those bad-mouthed people to death, what a bunch of bastards!"
Mrs. Tao is a person of true character, and Li Xia thought that this is really possible.
The two talked for a while, and then Mrs. Tao went back.
Before dinner, Gu Weicheng came back and brought Li Xia a piece of news: "At today's meeting, the leader also said that according to Tiantian's situation, she can be sent to an orphanage. However, compared to sending her to an orphanage, the leader thinks it would be better if a military family in our army could adopt Tiantian.
Political Commissar Shen said on the spot that their family could adopt Tiantian. Do you remember that when you saved Chenchen, was it Mrs. Cao who told Political Commissar Shen about this? That was because their first daughter accidentally choked while eating an egg and died without being saved.
Later, Political Commissar Shen and Mrs. Cao gave birth to another son, but he has grown up now and was selected to join the Air Force a few years ago. They don’t have any other children around them now, so adopting Tiantian is a good choice.”
After hearing this, Li Xia also nodded.
She knew both Political Commissar Shen and Cao Hongying. They had a good relationship and were both intellectuals. It would be great if Tiantian could be adopted by them.
But the specific situation depends on Tiantian’s own choice.
"We can start eating once this dish is cooked. Bring those dishes to the table first, and let An An take Tian Tian to wash their hands and eat." Li Xia instructed Gu Weicheng.
"Got it." Gu Weicheng said seriously.
Then he carried the dishes out of the kitchen, told An An to take Tian Tian to wash their hands, and when he came back in, he approached Li Xia and said, "Leader, the mission has been completed. Do you have any other instructions?"
"Command?" Li Xia raised an eyebrow and said, "I command you to have dinner."
Gu Weicheng closed the kitchen door, reached out to hug Li Xia, and said, "Report to the leader, I would like to apply to eat a bite of you before eating."
