"The Ballad of Mulan!"
Xu Yaqing is considered an intellectual in Xiushui Village. When people in the village want to write letters to distant relatives and friends, they all ask Xu Yaqing to write for them. Yun Mian was worried that she would be too pretentious and arouse suspicion. After some thought, she chose the simple and easy-to-understand Yuefu poem "The Ballad of Mulan". Unexpectedly, Xu Yaqing stared at her with a look of curiosity.
The clouds were disheveled in the wind.
Could it be that the director of the women's department of Xiushui Village doesn't even know the widely circulated folk poem "The Ballad of Mulan"?
Xu Yaqing really didn't know, so she asked Yun Mian with great curiosity, "Mian Mian, can you recite "The Ballad of Mulan" for us all?"
Several village cadres, three old uncles, and Yun Yongcheng who came out of the kitchen carrying a bench all stared at Yun Mian with curiosity.
Yunmian felt like she was riding a tiger and was in a dilemma. She could only recite aloud: "Jiji, jiji, Mulan weaves by the window. I hear no sound of the loom, only her sighs..."
The Ballad of Mulan is simple but long. She recited the entire poem in one breath, leaving everyone present stunned again.
"This poem tells the story of Hua Mulan, an ancient girl who joined the army in place of her father."
Yunmian added a comment in a baby voice, which received warm applause.
"This girl knows so much at such a young age."
"He's really good at studying."
"Could it be Wenquxing who has descended to earth?"
The three uncles praised Yunmian one after another, and even exaggeratedly said that Yunmian was the incarnation of Wenquxing.
Yunmian's face flushed, and she felt ashamed.
He was just reciting a book, but he actually made several village cadres and three elderly people so happy. The fat boy from the Wang family really helped him a lot!
After the three uncles had praised Yunmian enough, Xu Yaqing looked at Yunmian with a smile on his face, and then turned his gaze to Yun Yongcheng.
"This girl is smart and clever. If she's well-educated, she might be able to get into college. Yongcheng, if you really want to adopt this child, I can help you with the household registration."
Yunmian worked hard and acted cute just for this sentence.
After Xu Yaqing finished speaking, Yun Mian felt ecstatic.
Yun Yongcheng likes Yun Mian from the bottom of his heart, but adoption is not a trivial matter. He has to discuss it with the old couple and ask Wang Lanhua's opinion. After all, Wang Lanhua will be his wife in the future. If Wang Lanhua doesn't like Mianmian, adopting her will harm Mianmian.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Yun Yongcheng turned his head to glance at Yun Mian. Thinking of Yun Mian's well-behaved and cute appearance, and the fate between him and this child, he did not directly reject Xu Yaqing's kindness.
"Mom, what does Yun Yongcheng mean?"
Yun Yongcheng's ambiguous attitude made the people in the Wang family very dissatisfied. Wang Jiashun, Wang Lanhua's eldest brother, turned around and asked Zhang Ruhua.
Chen Dongxiang, Wang Lanhua's sister-in-law, smacked her lips and whispered in Zhang Ruhua's ear, "Could Yun Yongcheng really want to adopt this stinky little girl?"
Wang Xiaojun made a fool of himself because of Yunmian, and Chen Dongxiang now dislikes Yunmian.
So what if he can recite poems? He's still a money-loser and can't compare to his Xiaojun.
Chen Dongxiang's jealous gaze fell on Yunmian's small body, and she disliked Yunmian even more.
"If Yun Yongcheng really adopts this little girl, the Yun family will not only have to provide her with food and clothing, but also send her to school. Schooling is a huge expense. I'm afraid that before Lanhua even marries us, the Yun family's wealth will be squandered by this little girl."
