Chapter 299: Adopting a Godparent (4)

"So that's how it is." Lu Zhiwei understood immediately upon hearing this. However, looking at the fruit trees that looked like they might not survive, he could not help but say, "These trees might not survive. How about I help you next spring..."

"No, no, they are just kids playing around. Come in, it's too sunny outside." Ruan Lin refused calmly. She smiled and asked them to go in first. She then went to fetch two cups of already cooled tea and handed them to the two of them.

Two workers helped to carry the desk upstairs. They drank a cup of tea downstairs and drove away on their tricycle.

Ruan Lin asked the couple to stay for lunch. The couple had something to do this time, so they readily agreed.

But Ruan Jiaojiao had never thought that they came here for this matter.

Sitting in the main hall of the new building, Zhao Li glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao. She was always generous and straightforward, but now she seemed a little shy. She said to Ruan Lin, "Auntie, I'll be honest with you. I came here this time to make an unreasonable request. I hope you will agree to it."

Ruan Lin looked at her and thought she needed help with something, so she immediately said, "You tell me, if there is anything we can help with, we will definitely help."

Zhao Li smiled and glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao again, her eyes full of... Love and affection: "It's like this. As you know, family planning has been very strict in recent years. I am a person who likes daughters, but I only gave birth to two boys. It's really... In recent years, I have always been fond of other people's daughters, but I have never liked other children as much as I like Jiaojiao. This child... I really like her so much! Do you think I can... adopt her as my goddaughter?"

Zhao Li also knew that the matter of adopting a godparent was usually done by two families who were very familiar with each other, and they had only known the Ruan family for a few months.

However, what she said was true. She liked Ruan Jiaojiao very much as soon as she saw her! Ever since she met her, she was really upset. She had wanted to adopt a godparent for a long time and had been waiting for the opportunity, waiting until the two families were more familiar with each other.

This was her second visit to the Ruan family. Logically, she should have waited a little longer, but she couldn't wait any longer. She really liked this child, she liked him so much.

She couldn't wait to acknowledge him first, fearing that something might happen in the future, or that someone else might get there first.

Ruan Jiaojiao was lowering her head to peel the chocolate wrapped in gold foil. When she heard this, she was stunned. She raised her head and looked at her in disbelief .

How could this be?

Shouldn't Zhao Li be the godmother of the heroine Wu Yiting? The novel said that they had a very good relationship, almost like real mother and daughter!

Why did she suddenly want to acknowledge her as her goddaughter?

Ruan Jianguo and Ruan Lin were also surprised when they heard this.

They didn't expect Zhao Li to make such a request.

Xu Xu, who had been ignored, glanced at Zhao Li sharply when he saw Ruan Jiaojiao's face change. When he was noticed, he immediately retracted his gaze, as if he had not heard anything.

"Auntie, do you think it's okay?" Zhao Li looked at Ruan Lin eagerly and asked expectantly.

Ruan Lin was really stumped by this question.

Adopting godparents is a common thing in the countryside, but none of the ten children in his family are interested in it, and they are too lazy to do it. She didn't expect that someone would ask about it now.

If it was in the past, she might have agreed.
