And so, in the final moments of the evacuation, Bai Yajing brought back a child.
If there aren't enough help at home, she can ask another "relative." As for education, she should educate this child the same way she would her own.
Whether you herd one sheep or a flock of sheep, it's all the same.
Once you've made up your mind, any problem can be solved.
The situation was urgent, and she didn't have time to think too much, let alone discuss it with her family.
However, based on her understanding of her family, they would fully support her in adopting the little girl.
It's worth noting that the number of people Grandpa Bai has adopted and sponsored is countless.
My maternal grandparents always helped families in the village who were struggling financially.
Needless to say, the Xiao family used to allocate a portion of their annual profits to support orphans, widows, and disabled veterans in the military.
They were all very good elders, and they instilled in her the idea that when one achieves success, one should help others in the world.
As the convoy slowly drove away from the disaster area, she held her little girl, who had cried herself to sleep and had fallen asleep as soon as she relaxed. Looking out the window at the ruins gradually receding and the homes that were beginning to be rebuilt, she felt a sense of peace.
Sunlight streamed through the open back door, bathing the two of them in warmth and brightness.
The road ahead is long, but everything will be alright.
Bai Yajing returned to Kyoto, and she took Liu Liu directly home.
Her maternal grandparents and paternal grandfather didn't know she was coming back today, so they're not home right now.
Yingzi took her suitcase and looked curiously at the little girl she was holding hands with. "Ya Jing, who is this child?"
Bai Yajing went inside, poured two glasses of water, handed one to the little girl, and drank it all herself, finally quenching her thirst.
“Her name is Liu Liu, and she is my adopted daughter from the disaster area. Liu Liu, this is Aunt Yingzi.”
The little girl looked up from the cup with a lovely smile and sweetly called out, "Auntie Yingzi."
Yingzi had been watching the little girl drinking water obediently. Hearing her soft, sweet voice call her name, her heart softened. "Oh! Good girl, Liu Liu!"
Bai Yajing was curious about where her family was. "By the way, where is your family?"
"Since you two are not home, Aunt Xu is afraid that they will worry about you too much, so she simply invites you every few days. Today you were invited to the Pei family's house, and you won't be home until tonight."
Bai Yajing smiled upon hearing this, "Godmother is so thoughtful."
Xiao Ying felt a pang of sympathy seeing how exhausted she looked.
"Ya Jing, you must be exhausted. You've lost weight. I've boiled some water, go and take a shower. I'll take Xiao Liu Liu to take a shower too."
"I'll cook breakfast early, so you can eat and get some rest."
Bai Yajing was indeed tired, hungry, and sleepy.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Yingzi. But Liu Liu can shower with me."
She took the little girl's hand. Suddenly being in an unfamiliar environment, she figured the girl would feel insecure and shy, so it was better to stick with her for now.
Yingzi understood. Looking at the little girl, who was only slightly older than her own child, she gently patted her head and didn't force her. "Alright, I'll go cook first!"
If Ya Jing was able to adopt this child, then there's probably no one left in the family.
"good!"
Bai Yajing and Liu Liu took a bath, and both of them felt refreshed.
"Finally, I feel better! Liu Liu, two grandpas and a grandma, and a little brother will be coming back tonight. They are all Auntie's family, so don't be afraid."
Liu Liu finished dressing herself and nodded obediently upon hearing this, but nervously tugged at the hem of her clothes. "Auntie, Liu Liu will be very good, but Liu Liu didn't prepare a gift. Is that bad?"
Her parents taught her that when visiting someone's home, she should bring a gift; it's polite.
She didn't prepare anything. Will her grandparents and little brother think she's impolite?
