Jiang Xi briefly recounted what happened this morning. When he heard that Wang Xiaotian pushed Zhiqi's head into the water, his face darkened.

Since she met Shen Mo, she has never seen this man angry.

Looking at the man's increasingly frightening expression, Jiang Qi knew that he was really angry.

The friendship we have now is not the false friendship in the workplace many years later, but the friendship of life and death fought on the battlefield. It is a friendship for life.

Ever since she knew Zhiqi's father was Shen Mo's comrade-in-arms, she knew that Shen Mo would never let this child go.

In fact, she had an idea that Shen Mo would not refuse.

Shen Mo looked at Zhiqi, "Zhiqi, do you guys always do this?"

"Not often." Zhiqi shook his head, "I gave the things to you, but you didn't do anything."

Wang Xiaotian and Wang Xiaodi were afraid of water and dared not go out of the water at all. Every time they let Wang Xiaodi go out of the water to catch fish, the two brothers would snatch the fish away and say that they were the ones who caught them.

Jiang Xing saw those children with his own eyes and felt deeply that his joints were crackling. "Nowadays, these naughty kids deserve a beating. They will behave themselves after a beating."

Shen Mo's anger subsided a lot when he saw her jealous and vengeful look.

After lunch, Zhiqi volunteered to wash the dishes, and Jiang Xi gave him the task without any responsibility.

When Shen Mo saw that someone had snatched the job of washing dishes, he went to the door, picked up the bucket and shoulder pole, and looked like he was going out.

While walking around to digest his food, Jiang Xing asked, "Where are you going?"

Shen Mo put the shoulder pole on his shoulders and said, "Let's go to the river to fetch water. The water at home can't support wild fish."

"I'll go with you." Jiang Xi wanted to talk to Shen Mo alone.

Then he turned his head towards the kitchen, "Zhiqi, take good care of the house."

After saying that, Jiang Xi followed Shen Mo away, leaving Zhiqi alone in the huge yard.

The bedroom next to the main room was also wide open.

When she was at Wang's house, Grandma Wang was afraid that he would be careless and steal things, so whenever she was at home, she would lock several doors in the house.

Even when the Wang family went out to visit relatives, Grandma Wang did not take Wang with her. She even drove Wang out of the house and made Wang stay outside until they came back before letting Wang go home.

Huo Zhiqi tilted his head and saw that the gate to the yard was also open.

His eyes rolled around, and he moved a stool from the main room to the center of the yard. Zhiqi sat on the stool and stared at the gate. He would never let any stranger in. Anyone who wanted to come in had to pass this level first.

When Shen Mo and Jiang Xi went out to fetch water, they didn't know that there was a little door god in their home.

Jiang Hui pulled up some grass from the roadside and played with it while thinking about how to start the conversation. After thinking for a long time, she decided to go with the straight approach.

"How about we adopt Zhiqi?"

"Bang--"

The sound of something falling to the ground.

Jiang Xi watched the bucket roll twice on the ground, and she stretched out her foot to stop it.

Such a big reaction?

Jiang Xing asked doubtfully, "Have you ever thought about adopting Zhiqi?"

She thought Shen Mo cared about Zhiqi very much and kept the child in his mind, so he must have thought about adopting him.

When she was about to bend down to pick up the bucket, Shen Mo took the bucket away first and put it back on his shoulder, "Are you really willing to adopt Zhiqi?"

"I am willing." Jiang Xing nodded. "Why would I mention this to you if you are not willing?"

Shen Mo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that she was really willing to adopt Zhiqi.

Worried that she was just acting on a whim.

After thinking about it, I decided to tell her my true thoughts.

"Daughter-in-law... Jiang Xi..."

The word "wife" almost came out of his mouth, but he stopped himself in time for fear that Jiang Xi would be upset.

놛 took a step towards Jiang Xi. Jiang Xi raised his head slightly and could only see 놛놅떘's jawline. The angular face looked somewhat serious and solemn.

Jiang Xi said, "After adopting this child, we need to be responsible for him until he grows up. We need to teach him what is good and what is bad, and what is a good character. Raising a child is not a game, but a burden that falls on your shoulders. Jiang Xi, you are really stupid. Have you thought it through?"

When Shen Mo said these words, he stared at Jiang Xing without blinking, waiting for Jiang Xing to give an answer.

I also respect any choice made by Jiang Qi.

Jiang Xing raised his head and this time met Shen Mo's eyes.

The proposal to adopt Zhiqi was both a sincere one and a test.

She tried to test whether Shen Mo was willing to adopt Zhiqi. She thought that one could never know a person's true heart, and that some people only talked but did not do, being two-faced. Shen Mo's answer surprised and satisfied her.

She has studied psychoanalysis and is confident in her own judgment.

In this special era, facing all the unfamiliarity and uneasiness, Shen Mo seemed to always give her a sense of security.

This sense of security comes from her words and deeds. Many people can pretend to be great. If Shen Mo wants to pretend to be great, he doesn't have to take her words seriously, and he doesn't have to go through so much trouble to find the yard she wants.

You don't have to obey her in everything.

She was a daughter abandoned by the Jiang family, with no support from her parents and no property to rely on. Shen Mo had a way to control her.

Shen Mo was good to her, she was not blind and could see it, and she had to admit that she had the idea of ​​living a good life with this man.

"Shen Mo." Jiang Xi looked directly into his eyes, "I really have thought it through!"

Shen Mo was still a little hesitant, his face gloomy, "Looking after a child is a lot of work. Now that you have one, you have to teach him well."

"Zhiqi is eight years old already, he's not a baby anymore, he can still help me with housework, it doesn't take much effort. And I happen to be quite scared of having children, so raising Zhiqi is like early practice." Jiang Xi said.

Being a mother without pain is so wonderful.

Shen Mo: “….”

How come this girl has completely different ideas from others?

"!"

Soon, I suddenly remembered what she meant just now. Practice in advance?

Does she plan to have children in the future?

It would be nice if it was with 놛.

After carrying water twice, the small pond in the yard was filled. Shen Mo was going to the camp in the afternoon, and before going to the camp, he went to Captain Li's office first.

*

In the evening, when Commander Wang returned home, he called Zhiqi to his study.

Chief Wang was in a high position, and the Wang family had the final say. He never took care of family affairs, leaving them to his wife and mother.

But today, Captain Li sent a message saying that Shen Mo wanted to adopt Huo Zhiqi.

Zhiqi has been raised by my family for three years, and I have thought about raising Zhiqi in the Wang family. Given the current situation of the Wang family, it would not be a big deal to raise one more child, and raising a warrior's orphan would also be good for my reputation.

But my mother always kept nagging me, asking me when I would send Zhiqi away.

I am the type of person who won't give up until I achieve my goal. I am tired of dealing with it, so I just think that if I give you a little more money, it won't be a big deal.

But for three years, the old lady has remained like this.

Li Bin suddenly came to tell 놛 that Shen Mo wanted to adopt Zhiqi. 놛 did not agree for the time being, but thought that he should still ask the child's opinion.

After all, the child has been raised by my family for three years, so I still have some feelings for him.

"Zhiqi, your uncle Shen Mo Shen has offered to adopt you, do you want to go?"

Hearing this, Zhiqi, who had been lowering his head, suddenly raised his head.

Wang Jianwei then saw Huo Zhiqi's appearance clearly. In his memory, Huo Zhiqi always kept his head down at home, even when eating. If there was nothing to do, the child would stay in his room and not come out.

When he first started school, I was concerned about his studies. Later, my wife told me that he couldn't concentrate on his studies and his grades were not good, so I stopped caring about him.

The little figure standing in front of the desk always likes to compare the heights of his two sons when he goes out, but Huo Zhiqi is very small, more than half a head shorter than his sons. I remember that this child seems to be the same age as his two sons.

Why is there such a big size difference?

Huo Zhiqi asked cautiously, "Did Uncle Shen really say he wanted to adopt me?"

Wang Jianwei nodded. "Well, all the adoption reports are here with me. If you don't want to go to Shen Mo's house, I can help you reject it."

Huo Zhiqi was stared at and soon lowered his head.

Wang Jianwei saw that 놛 lowered his head. It seemed that the child didn't want to go to Shen Mo's house. 놛 was about to speak, "If you don't go, I will..."

"I want to go."

Huo Zhiqi spoke.

Wang Jianwei saw that 놛꺗 raised his head, his eyes sparkling, "I want to go to Uncle Shen's house!"

Seeing that the child was willing to go to Shen Mo's house, Wang Jianwei didn't know what to say, so he raised his hand and motioned for him to go out.

Wang Jianwei sat at his desk, thinking about this matter all the time. Although his mother had suggested that Huo Zhiqi be adopted only temporarily at that time, she had already tacitly acknowledged that Zhiqi was a member of the Wang family.

What's more, when I adopted Zhiqi, I was commended and the people above me always praised me.

I thought Zhiqi would not agree to let Shen Mo adopt him, but Zhiqi agreed, which was really unexpected.

I usually don't take care of the children. It's always my wife and mother who take care of them.

My wife went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something. It seems that she needs to go and talk to my mother. Usually, my mothers take care of the children, so the children must be closer to them.

Wang Jianwei was a man of action. Once he made his decision, he left the study and went to the kitchen in the backyard to find his mother.

놛I am usually very busy and never set foot in the kitchen.

As soon as I walked to the kitchen door, I heard my mother's sharp and shrill voice.

"What's wrong with you today, kid? Don't you know how to burn firewood?" Old Lady Wang said, and angrily stretched out her hand to pinch Zhiqi's arm.

Then she picked up two baked cakes and handed them to her grandsons who were laughing and playing beside her, "Xiaotian, Xiaodi, the cakes are cold now, you can eat them now."

Zhiqi looked up and was caught by the sharp eyes of Old Lady Wang, who looked sarcastic and said, "Look, what are you looking at? Light up your fire, or you won't have dinner tonight."

What happened today was all caused by this loser, and it's a pity that her grandson suffered a lot.

She treated her precious grandson like a spoiled brat, but he was beaten by others.

So when Zhiqi came back in the afternoon, she never gave him a good look.

Wang Jianwei didn't expect to see such a scene in the kitchen, and his face suddenly became embarrassed.

A cold voice suddenly sounded in the kitchen, "Mom, when I'm not here, is this how you treat your child?"

놛's sudden voice startled the old lady.

Seeing that it was his son, he breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of his son's words, his brows furrowed, "How did I treat the children? Isn't this a good thing for them?"

Wang Jianwei, "Then why didn't you give Zhiqi a cake? And why did you pinch him?"

"This child is disobedient, so what if I pinch him twice?" Old Mrs. Wang didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior.
