Lan Guoer didn't know what Zhou Jingrui was thinking.
On the way home, she first asked for the opinions of her three children.
"Uncle Zhou wants to adopt you as his godsons and daughters. Are you willing?"
"What is a goddaughter?" Xiao Nuan asked while holding Lan Guoer's hand and looking up.
"He treats you like his children, so you should respect him like your parents. We are all family."
Thinking it was too profound for the little ones to understand, Lan Guoer explained it simply.
"Okay, okay! Nuannuan likes Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou likes Nuannuan, Nuannuan is willing!" Xiaonuan patted her chest with one hand and said happily.
Lan Guoer looked at the little girl's confident look and pulled the corners of her lips, "You are so naughty, how do you know that Uncle Zhou likes you?"
"Nuannuan saw it!" Xiaonuan said with her big eyes twinkling.
"Those who like Nuan Nuan have bright eyes, while those who don't like Nuan Nuan have gray eyes!
Also, there is a golden glow on uncle's body, uncle is a big treasure!"
Lan Guoer: “!!!”
This little girl's eyes are truly a treasure! She can even distinguish between good and evil!
No wonder the little girl was so close to Zhou Jingrui the first time she met him.
"Lie is willing!"
Xiao Lie nibbled on the biscuits in his hand and interrupted, "Uncle's cake is so delicious, I will eat it again in the future!"
Lan Guoer: “…”
Did she starve him? He was bribed with a bite of food. All her safety education was in vain!
But think about it, children are just like that! The food at other people’s houses always tastes better!
"Ling, what do you think?"
Lan Guoer felt that the eldest son was more reliable, so she asked.
Xiao Ling tilted his head and thought for a moment, "If my younger brother and sister are willing, Ling has no objection. Ling always listens to Mom and Dad."
Lan Guoer: “…” Okay! The decision is back to me!
In the evening, Lan Guoer talked about this matter at the dinner table.
"No matter what, our Xiao Nuan has received the kindness of Comrade Zhou, so let's just recognize her as our godparent! There's no harm in having more relatives for the children!" After hearing this, Tang's mother expressed no objection.
Tang Laohan nodded slightly and agreed, "Your mother is right!"
Lan Guoer picked up the bowl and drank the soup, and couldn't help but cover her face and laugh!
She knew that whenever Tang's mother made a decision, Tang Laohan would generally not object, a typical example of a wife following her husband's lead!
Tang Zhan frowned and remained silent.
Lan Guoer turned her head to look at him, waiting for his answer.
I have to say that the people who understand men best are men!
How could Tang Zhan not guess what Zhou Jingrui was thinking? However, since he mentioned recognizing his relatives, Tang Zhan felt relieved.
Putting aside Zhou Jingrui's thoughts about his wife, Tang Zhan was still very optimistic about Zhou Jingrui's character! Moreover, when he went to Gangcheng to carry out a mission before, the Gangcheng Zhou family also provided them with a lot of help.
After learning about Zhou Jingrui's identity on the day Xiao Nuan disappeared, he made special inquiries and found out that the person who ordered the Zhou family to provide them with assistance was Zhou Jingrui, who had just come to power.
Moreover, in that era, the traditional thinking was that the two families recognized each other as godparents. As the godparents of the children, Zhou Jingrui naturally could not have any ideas about his wife.
This time Zhou Jingrui cut off his own retreat.
"If you want to recognize him, then do it! As long as he treats the children well, I have no objection!"
Tang Zhan put down his bowl and chopsticks, which was considered as his agreement.
The little guys are fast!
The next morning, before Lan Guoer got up, the three little kids ran next door and informed Zhou Jingrui of the good news that they agreed to recognize their relationship.
So when Lan Guoer got up, there were already several boxes of recognition gifts piled up in the yard.
It seemed that Zhou Jingrui had been here for quite some time.
He sat there with a gentle smile on his face, chatting happily with Mr. Tang, his mother, and Mrs. Lan. The whole scene was warm and harmonious, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Seeing her approaching, Zhou Jingrui stood up and pointed to the mahogany box in the middle of the yard.
"These are the recognition gifts I prepared for the children. I prepared them a little hastily. When we return to Hong Kong City, I will prepare another one for them. Don't mind."
Lan Guoer was really surprised by his speed!
Don't they even pick a good day for recognizing relatives? If I wait a few more days, could she still regret it?
"Wow! What a beautiful Zhuzhu!" Xiao Nuan's baby voice sounded outside the yard.
As they were talking, Xiao Lie had already diligently helped his sister open all the boxes in the yard, and the three children each gathered around a box.
Xiao Nuan's armpit was stuck on the edge of the box, and her little hands were constantly putting the jewelry and jade ornaments inside onto her small neck one by one.
In the early morning sunlight, the gems and emeralds glowed brightly. Without looking closely, Lan Guoer knew their precious value!
What's more, the little girl has such a sharp eye that she won't take anything that has no value to herself.
Xiao Ling was guarding a box full of scrolls of calligraphy and paintings. He opened and rolled up the scrolls one by one, nodding from time to time, his eyes full of admiration.
Xiao Lie frowned, obviously not very interested in these things.
He dug halfway through one of the boxes, pulled out a "mushroom", and held it up in front of Tang's mother with his short legs.
"Mushrooms are delicious! Grandma, let's make stew!"
Lan Guoer: “…”
Her silly son! This isn't some kind of mushroom, it's clearly Ganoderma! And judging by its appearance and quality, it must be at least three hundred years old!
Lan Guoer glanced at Zhou Jingrui and couldn't help but secretly click her tongue!
Even this is such a hasty preparation? This Master Zhou is really not stingy at all!
Qinghe had been with Old Lady Lan for many years and had seen many good things. Worried that the children might not be careful enough and spoil the good things, he hurried forward to guard them.
"Oh my! My dear! This is ginseng! You can't chew it like this!"
Xiao Nuan's little arms and neck were clinking with the hangings, and she went to rummage through the medicine box. At this time, she was holding a hundred-year-old ginseng in her little hands, and she wanted to chew it like a radish!
Fortunately, Qinghe got out in time and rescued him.
Seeing Qinghe put all the treasures on the little girl back to their original places, Lan Guoer called the children over.
"Those things were prepared for you by your godfather. Don't you want to show your appreciation too?"
The three of them looked at each other, but Xiao Ling was the first to react.
"Are we supposed to kowtow to our godfather?"
The little guys still remember that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Tang Zhan took them to kowtow and wish the elders in the family a happy new year. They knew that this was a way for the younger generation to show respect to the older generation.
Lan Guoer patted her eldest son's head with satisfaction, "Our Xiao Ling is so smart! The three of you kowtow to Father Zhou, and our recognition ceremony will be complete!"
Strictly speaking, the recognition ceremony in this era is still very complicated! Lan Guoer also saw Zhou Jingrui's impatient look and didn't want to go through the whole process at all, so she was a little casual!
As long as your heart is sincere, it doesn't matter what the rules and regulations are. Lan Guoer is not a conservative person!
