Thinking of this, Xiao Defeng and his wife became even happier.
They changed their original plan of inviting only their own relatives. After discussing it, they decided to invite their close friends as well.
Their goddaughter is so good, they need to let more relatives and friends know about her.
So, after the Xiao couple finished their meal, they started adding the list of people who would attend the family recognition banquet tomorrow.
In the afternoon, Lin Yizhen returned to the military region in the car driven by Xiao Chen.
The next day was the day when Xiao Defeng and his wife adopted Lin Jiazhen as their goddaughter. All the relatives and friends of the Xiao family also received the notice, and they all took leave in advance and came to the Xiao family early.
Even many neighbors who got the news came over. They all gathered together and whispered about why Xiao Defeng and Wang Shumeng suddenly wanted to adopt a goddaughter.
When Lin Yizhen arrived, many people had already gathered at the Xiao family.
Seeing Xiao Chen driving over with a young and beautiful girl, everyone guessed that this girl was probably the goddaughter that Xiao Defeng and Wang Shumeng wanted to adopt.
All of them were very curious about Lin Yizhen. They couldn't understand why the Xiao couple would adopt an unrelated person as their goddaughter at this time?
After all, the capital was not very peaceful at that time.
You know, Xiao Defeng is still at home after being fired! Aren't they afraid that the higher-ups will find out when they publicly acknowledge their daughter?
However, some people had tried to persuade him with these words when they knew about this matter, but it was of no use and they could not persuade him at all.
Now that I have seen the real person, I can understand Xiao Defeng and Wang Shumeng's thoughts.
Because this girl is so pretty. She is only twelve or thirteen years old and she looks so outstanding. What will she be like when she grows up?
Judging from the appearance of this little girl, the partner she will find when she grows up will definitely be extraordinary.
The Xiao couple are probably also making plans for the future! Some people who can't stand seeing Xiao Defeng and his wife doing well thought to themselves.
The Xiao family doesn’t know what other people are thinking. They are very busy now and have no time to guess what others are thinking.
When the Xiao family heard that Lin Yizhen was coming, they quickly asked Xiao Aijun to come out to pick her up.
Xiao Defeng and Wang Shumeng both had guests to attend to, and Han Xiufang was pregnant and resting upstairs. Only Xiao Aijun was not so busy, so he was naturally asked to come out to meet the guests.
After Lin Yizhen followed Xiao Aijun into the Xiao family's living room, she saw that the living room was full of people.
But since they didn't know each other, she just smiled at everyone.
No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, at least everyone appears to be very friendly to Lin Yizhen.
The ceremony of godparenting is very simple. Basically, the two families sit together for a meal to get to know each other. Then, the godparents and children exchange gifts.
Originally, Lin Yizhen should have made a set of clothes for Xiao Defeng and Wang Shumeng, but because the time was too short, she simply didn't have time.
Lin Yizhen made a hat for Xiao Defeng and knitted a scarf for Wang Shumeng as a token of her filial piety. Lin Yizhen had bought the wool years ago, but later stored it in her space and forgot about it.
It wasn't until yesterday when I was thinking about giving my godparents a gift that I saw it in the warehouse, and I used some of the wool to knit a scarf.
Most of them were woven by Xiaoyu using magic, otherwise they would not have been finished in one night.
The hat was made with the help of the puppets, otherwise it would not have been completed so quickly.
Xiao Defeng and Wang Shumeng gave Lin Yizhen a red envelope and a camera they had bought before.
I was going to give it to Lin Yizhen on the day I bought it, but Lin Yizhen didn't want it.
Wang Shumeng gave it to her today, and with so many people watching, Lin Yizhen couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it along with the red envelope.
Because Lin Yizhen's parents and relatives are all in Hai City, most of the relatives at the table today are from the Xiao family.
Like Xiao Defeng's brothers and sisters, Wang Shumeng's family, Han Xiufang's family. The others are Xiao Defeng's good friends.
Xiao Defeng has three brothers. He is the eldest, and he has two younger brothers and two younger sisters.
Xiao Defeng has a good relationship with his two younger brothers, but he is a little confused about his two sisters-in-law.
I didn't want to invite them originally, but when I thought about inviting my wife's family and my daughter-in-law's family, it would be bad not to invite my two younger brothers.
So, we invited both families along as well.
Just by seeing the expressions of his two sisters-in-law, Xiao Defeng knew that he didn't know what these two sisters-in-law were thinking about him in their hearts!
Whatever they thought, as long as they didn't say anything out loud and embarrass everyone, he would just pretend he didn't see it.
The process of becoming godparents went smoothly. After a peaceful meal, everyone chatted for a while and then went home.
They are all from Beijing, and it's not far from here. They can go back by bike.
On the road, Xiao Defeng's two sisters-in-law were riding a bicycle. While riding, they were chatting about Xiao Defeng's adoption of a goddaughter today.
The third sister-in-law, who looked a bit stronger, said, "Second sister-in-law, do you think that eldest brother has been bored at home for a while and his brain has been damaged? Why did he find an outsider to adopt as his goddaughter? Wouldn't it be better to recognize my Xiaoxiang?
We are all relatives and know each other well.”
"Who knows? Maybe it's just like what you said, he's bored his brain at home!" said the short middle-aged woman sitting on the back of the bicycle with an indifferent look on her face.
Anyway, she doesn't have a daughter, so why does she care who he chooses as his goddaughter?
"My daughter Xiaoxiang is about to graduate, and if she can't find a job, she'll have to go to the countryside.
"I wanted my eldest brother and his wife to help find a job for Xiaoxiang, but neither of them agreed. Now they've adopted an unrelated person as their goddaughter. Do they want to leave the job to her?" the third brother's wife suddenly stopped the car and said.
The second daughter-in-law, who was sitting in the back seat and was unprepared, was suddenly bumped into on the back.
Then he said with an unhappy look on his face: "Just ride your bike, why did you stop for no reason?"
"I'm sorry, second sister-in-law! Do you think what I said just now makes sense?" The third son's wife asked after quickly apologizing.
The second son's wife rolled her eyes at her and said, "Isn't that obvious? That girl is so pretty and has a job in the city. Do you think she can find a bad partner?"
My eldest brother is now suspended from his post and is at home. He must find a way to get his official position back!
What could possibly get him reinstated? It would definitely involve a marriage between their children and their in-laws. I heard there's an old leader in their compound. His grandson, just seventeen years old, has already made great contributions in the army.
Look at the goddaughter that the eldest brother adopted. She is only a few years older than the old leader’s grandson and is very pretty.
You say, if these two children are successful, can the old leader just watch the eldest brother stay idle at home? Then he will definitely find a way to solve the eldest brother's problem, and maybe he can even get promoted. "
The third son’s wife was unhappy when she heard this. If that was the case, wouldn’t her Xiaoxiang have no chance at all?
The second and third daughters-in-law of the Xiao family have been sisters-in-law for so many years, and you can tell what she is thinking just by looking at her expressions.
She quickly said, "Don't think of anything bad! Big Brother's reinstatement will only benefit us, not harm us.
So, put away all your little thoughts. You don’t just have Xiaoxiang as your daughter, you also have two sons!"
