Anyway, we already have four girls, so one more or one less doesn't matter.
Panpan lives in misery every day, and has to learn housework at a young age, such as washing dishes and cooking.
In winter, they would wash the whole family's clothes in the icy river water.
They are constantly being beaten and scolded, and they are always hungry.
At five years old, she looked shorter than other three-year-old children.
"Sigh, her family never wanted her in the first place. Now that she's sick, they just threw her outside and left her to fend for herself."
"After all, it's a life, and I just couldn't bear to leave her, so I took her back."
“I originally wanted to adopt her, but I’m getting old, and I’m afraid that I might suddenly pass away one day, which would only make the child sad.”
When Panpan's background was mentioned, Dr. Niu sighed with emotion.
Jiang Jingxue also felt extremely sorry for this little girl.
It's unbelievable that she, at such a young age, has experienced so much suffering.
No wonder she's so sensible.
But she's still so young.
If no one helps her, she probably won't live much longer.
"Dr. Niu, I'll think of a way to deal with Panpan's situation."
"Madam, it's wonderful that you're willing to help Panpan. Thank you on behalf of that girl!"
Dr. Niu's eyes were filled with excitement.
night.
As usual, Jiang Jingxue gave Gu Pingwei a medicinal bath and acupuncture.
Her mind was filled with Panpan's little face.
To be honest, she really liked the child and wanted to adopt her.
However, adopting a child is no small matter.
Moreover, she is engaged to Gu Pingwei.
She cannot make decisions on her own; she needs to consult Gu Pingwei.
"Gu Pingwei, I want a child, is that okay?"
As soon as Jiang Jingxue said this, Gu Pingwei immediately turned back in shock.
"What? Hiss—"
The moment he moved, the needle in Jiang Jingxue's hand went astray.
Blood was oozing from the needle prick.
Ignoring the pain, Gu Pingwei's eyes were filled with panic, and he was even somewhat incoherent.
"No...this...is too sudden..."
"What, you don't like children?"
Jiang Jingxue was somewhat disappointed.
"It's not that I don't like you, it's just... before we get married, I don't want to... I don't want to touch you."
Gu Pingwei stammered his reply, a strange blush creeping onto his face.
"What does this have to do with whether or not you touch me?"
"If I don't touch you... how can I have a child?"
After exchanging a few nonsensical words, Jiang Jingxue realized that Gu Pingwei seemed to have misunderstood something.
"Gu Pingwei, that's not what I meant!"
“I didn’t give birth to her, but I have a little girl and I want to adopt her.”
Jiang Jingxue quickly made her meaning clear and told Gu Pingwei about Panpan's situation.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Gu Pingwei's face as he realized he had overthought things.
"That little girl has a very pitiful background, but she is also very well-behaved and sensible."
"It's such a pity that he was born into that kind of family."
Seeing the heartache in Jiang Jingxue's eyes, Gu Pingwei knew that she genuinely wanted to adopt the little girl.
"The country is now vigorously promoting family planning, and the military is especially strict about it. If we adopt Panpan, we will only be able to have one child in the future."
“If you don’t mind this, we can adopt her.”
Gu Pingwei had some reservations.
Fortunately, Panpan was a girl, so they can have another one.
If it's a boy, they won't even be able to have their own children.
"Gu Pingwei, do you mind?"
Jiang Jingxue looked into Gu Pingwei's eyes and asked very seriously.
"If we can only have one child in the future, and it's a girl, would you mind... not having a boy?"
Some people try five or six times in a row just to have a son.
The Gu family has only one son, and Jiang Jingxue was afraid he would mind.
Gu Pingwei shook his head.
"To me, boys and girls are the same. I love any child that is ours."
"Okay, then we only need one."
The two quickly reached a consensus on this issue.
Gu Pingwei also supports Jiang Jingxue in adopting Panpan.
She continued to administer acupuncture to the man.
but……
She suddenly remembered something.
"That's right!"
"What's wrong?"
“When I was giving those children acupuncture before, I noticed that the poison in their bodies was similar to the poison in yours. I remembered it again today.”
"They were also poisoned by this?"
Gu Pingwei frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"Well... I'm not entirely sure. Let's observe again tomorrow."
After all, we don't have any instruments. What if we give the wrong information? Wouldn't that be giving false information?
After administering acupuncture to Gu Pingwei, Jiang Jingxue, exhausted from a long day, quickly fell asleep in the tent.
She got up to use the restroom in the middle of the night and saw Gu Pingwei writing something under a kerosene lamp.
"Gu Pingwei, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Jiang Jingxue asked while yawning.
"Go to sleep early, don't worry about me, I'm writing an application."
"Once we get back to the ministry and finish the application, we can proceed with the adoption procedures directly."
Gu Pingwei's words warmed Jiang Jingxue's heart.
He not only didn't object to such a big decision as adopting a child, but he also fully supported her, even writing an application report overnight...
Jiang Jingxue suddenly felt that her life had been worthwhile, to have met someone like Gu Pingwei who respected her so much.
"Gu Pingwei, thank you."
Jiang Jingxue couldn't help but hug him from behind.
She was only wearing an undergarment.
The softness of her chest pressed against his back, and Gu Pingwei's upright posture stiffened.
