She loved the name and kept touching her new household registration page the whole way.
Ma Pingchuan and Zhao Liang did not hide their relationship. The little girl was very smart, although she did not understand why she had two fathers while others only had one.
However, she could sense that both of them liked her very much, treating her like their own children—no, a hundred times better than their own children—and that was enough.
Back home, the new father and daughter led their little girl to the door of a room on the second floor.
Opening the door, the room was already furnished: a bed, a desk and chair, a wardrobe—simple yet cozy.
This was the first time she had her own room; in that other house, she could only live in the woodshed.
As she watched, tears streamed down her face. "Thank you, Big Daddy! Thank you, Little Daddy!"
When Ma Pingchuan and Zhao Liang were called "Dad" for the first time, their hearts trembled. Only at that moment did they truly feel the reality of being fathers.
"Oh, sweetie!"
"You're welcome, daughter!"
Ma Pingchuan felt sorry for her and used a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, comforting her, "Don't cry, this will be your room from now on."
Get some rest today. We'll call you when it's time to eat!
Ma Chenxi wiped away her tears, raised a big smile, and nodded.
After seeing her two fathers off, she carefully walked to her desk and sat down.
A brand new room, brand new furniture—this was everything she had dreamed of as a child, and now she finally had it.
There were a few books on the desk. She flipped through them casually, and they were all books she could understand.
The notebook and pen were thoughtfully prepared; holding them close to my chest, I felt a warm glow in my heart.
It seems she really does have a family now!
She glanced at the wardrobe, put down her book, walked over and opened it. Inside were quite a few new clothes for someone her age.
Even the smallest underwear is included! On second thought, it must have been Aunt Bai who helped prepare it.
She silently vowed in her heart that the most important people in her life were her eldest father, her second father, and Aunt Bai!
She yawned. These past few days, she had been under immense mental strain, and only now did she truly relax, and sleepiness washed over her.
Holding her new clothes, she went back to bed, curled up in a ball, and quickly drifted off to sleep.
The two men came up to call her for dinner and this is what they saw.
Zhao Liang covered her with the blanket and sighed silently; this child was very insecure.
He lowered his voice and said to his lover, "Let her sleep. She definitely hasn't had a good night's sleep lately. Keep the food warm and let her eat when she wakes up."
"Okay, let's eat first."
Ma Pingchuan acted quickly, contacting the school the very next day.
Now that everyone is on holiday, Ma Chenxi will have to enroll in junior high school with the next batch of new students.
Upon learning that she would be able to return to her beloved school next spring, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.
It all feels like a dream...
Ma Pingchuan and Zhao Liang didn't tell her that even before they saw her, they had already considered adopting this poor but grateful, well-behaved, and kind little girl.
When they finally saw her, her lifeless eyes sent shivers down their spines.
When they rescued her, she was very scared, but she didn't cry or make a fuss, and she didn't cause any trouble for the adults. She was so sensible that it broke our hearts.
It was around that time that the two of them made up their minds to adopt her.
The Lunar New Year is just around the corner.
This family of three is finally going to have a lively New Year this year.
The Xiao family was missing an important person this year, so they simply gathered together for the New Year without any extravagant celebrations.
After the New Year, it will officially be 1988.
Everyone's lives became more and more stable.
