After the godparents' decision was made, Xu Zhixia didn't have to worry about it much, because everything was handled by Grandpa Jiang.
It sounds simple, but in fact there are a lot of troubles. Fortunately, Mr. Jiang is decisive and quickly completed the preliminary preparations.
The next day he contacted Xu Zhixia and said that the two families would have a simple meal together in the evening to finalize Haohao's matter.
Xu Zhixia didn't think much about it and took Zhou An and Haohao to the appointment in the evening.
We arrived at the agreed private room in the state-owned hotel, and only after entering did we realize that there were so many people there.
She was startled, but remained calm and put on a decent smile.
When Mr. Jiang saw her coming, he quickly stood up and took the initiative to introduce her: "This is Comrade Xu. She is the one who saved Haohao."
The others nodded slightly as a greeting.
Xu Zhixia was a little confused at first, but soon got used to it. After greeting relatives and friends from both sides, the meal officially began.
Although the Jiang family has a high status, they are all approachable and no one causes trouble.
But from their aura, it can be seen that they are not as simple as they appear.
After finishing his meal, Mr. Jiang cleared his throat first and said, "Xiao Xia, can I call you that from now on?"
"From now on, we are a family. No matter what happens, you can come to me for help."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed immediately. It seemed that this so-called Comrade Xu was more liked by the old man than they had imagined.
Xu Zhixia didn't know what they were thinking, but she felt flattered.
She smiled faintly: "Of course, I will call you Grandpa Jiang from now on. Please don't blame me for being presumptuous."
The joking tone made everyone smile knowingly. They felt that the girl in front of them was very sensible.
After the others left one after another, Xu Zhixia and Zhou An planned to send Mr. Jiang back, but Mr. Jiang stopped them.
"I still have something I haven't given you yet."
Old Master Jiang lowered his eyebrows, hiding the expression in his eyes.
His old hand slowly took out a jade pendant from his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xu Zhixia: "Do you like this?"
Zhou An didn't know much about these things, but Xu Zhixia was different.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she quickly refused: "No, Grandpa Jiang, we can't accept such a valuable thing."
The quality of this jade pendant is comparable to those in her home, and it is not something that can be obtained without money.
Seeing that Xu Zhixia knew the value of this thing, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Mr. Jiang's eyes.
He gently stroked the jade pendant and whispered, "This belongs to Haohao's father."
After a pause, he added, "It's a relic brought back from the battlefield."
"I hope this jade pendant can accompany you like Haohao's father."
Things had come to this point, and Xu Zhixia couldn't bring herself to say no.
She bit her teeth lightly, hesitated for a moment, and took it with both hands.
Bowing respectfully, he said, "Don't worry, I will not disappoint you and will treat Haohao as my own child."
Mr. Jiang took out this jade pendant not to make Xu Zhixia and the others make any promises.
But when he saw Xu Zhixia like this, a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes and he smiled with his eyebrows curved.
He nodded heavily: "Good boy, I believe you."
After leaving the Jiang family, Xu Zhixia Zhongan walked side by side with Haohao on the path back.
The faint moonlight illuminated their way forward, and the occasional breeze made people feel relaxed and happy.
Zhou An suddenly asked, "Should I give this jade pendant to Haohao?"
Xu Zhixia nodded, her tone soft: "Of course I want it, this one is Haohao's."
Neither she nor Zhou An had any intention of stealing this thing.
I believe that if Haohao’s father were still alive, he would also want to see this scene.
Because Xu Zhixia and Zhou An didn't plan to stay here for long at the beginning, they bought the train tickets together.
After saying hello to Mr. Jiang, they planned to leave with Haohao.
When Mr. Jiang found out, he was visibly disappointed.
He waved, motioning Haohao to come to him.
Haohao looked hesitant, but still walked over obediently.
"Your godparents are going home, so why don't you stay here with grandpa for a while?"
Haohao was stunned for a moment, a look of great confusion appeared on his little face. He turned his head to look at Xu Zhixia, as if asking a question.
Xu Zhixia half-knelt down, looked him in the eye, and said seriously: "My home is your home. You can go back with me, or you can stay here with Grandpa."
"It all depends on your thinking."
Hearing her say this, Haohao's eyes suddenly lit up and burst into light.
But he didn't know what he was thinking about. He looked at Mr. Jiang cautiously and said hesitantly: "Can I go with you?"
Although it was a question, Mr. Jiang already knew his choice.
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded in agreement.
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel relieved. If Xu Zhixia Haohao hadn't been so good, Haohao wouldn't have been so close to her.
After watching Xu Zhixia, Zhou An and the others leave, it was a long time before Mr. Jiang slowly withdrew his gaze.
I don't know when we'll meet next time...
At this time, Xu Zhixia didn't know what Mr. Jiang was thinking because she was immersed in excitement.
In two hours, she will be able to see her parents.
Every minute and every second now is extremely difficult for her.
After finally reaching the station and getting off the train, she hurried home with Zhou An.
When she came to the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard, she actually felt a sense of timidity.
He took a deep breath and slowly knocked on the door in front of him.
After a long time, footsteps were heard. The door in front of me opened, and a strange face came into view.
"Who are you looking for?" The woman in front of them was in her thirties. She looked at them warily, as if she was difficult to get along with.
Xu Zhixia's pupils suddenly contracted. This was clearly the place Zhou An found for her parents to live before she left.
Why... has someone changed now?
So where did her parents go?
This question popped into her mind and made her panic.
She looked at Zhou An helplessly, as if wanting an answer.
Zhou An's face darkened and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, because he didn't know what the situation was.
But he was calmer than Xu Zhixia and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, we'll go find Sun Hao now and ask him what's going on."
This simple sentence made Xu Zhixia feel like she had found her backbone.
She held Zhou An's hand, and the two turned and walked in another direction.
