Chapter 429 Cannot be Adopted Again

"Really? Really?" Upon hearing this, Meng Zihuan immediately forgot to cry, wiped his eyelids with his little hand, and looked at her expectantly.

Qiao Qiao nodded, climbed out from under the covers, crawled to the foot of the bed, pointed to a red suitcase and said, "It's all inside. Qiao Qiao picked it out for her brother herself."

In fact, since Qiao Qiao was found by Yan Liti, the four boys of the Qiao family have received ten times more toys in the past three or four months than they have ever had all the toys they have since they were little.

Not to mention clothes, pants, and shoes, when Yan Liti buys them for Qiao Qiao, she also buys them for the boys.

So far, all the boys have discarded their old clothes and are wearing new ones, to the point that they can wear almost a different outfit every month.

In particular, this time, in order to thank the Qiao family, Fu Yu not only bought Qiao Qiao a lot of Lego sets that she likes to play with now, but also bought a batch of clothes for the boys. Yes, a batch!

As for toys, not only the boys had them, but Pei Yuanfan and Pei Yiyang also had them.

However, for the boys, the gifts bought by the adults could not compare to the gifts that Qiao Qiao personally selected.

The gift Qiao Qiao chose for Meng Zihuan was a complete set of assembly robot models that her younger cousins ​​in Jinshi had enthusiastically recommended.

Qiao Qiao didn't understand these things very well, but her cousins ​​seemed to like them a lot, even the eldest, Wang Sheng, had a lot of them already assembled in his room.

Qiao Qiao thought that boys might like these things, so she bought several sets for her older brothers.

The money was also used to buy the stones, which were the few remaining rough stones that I had stored with Mo Haijun.

"Meng Zihuan, you should go to school now, sweetie, are you awake? Your dad went to buy your favorite beef noodles, they should be here soon, do you want to... Oh my goodness, it's so chilly this morning, why didn't you get dressed properly before getting up! That's ridiculous!"

Qiao Xiaoyun, who came in from outside to call Meng Zihuan to go to school, saw Qiao Qiao huddled at the foot of the bed without a coat as soon as she reached the door. She quickly came over and wrapped her in the blanket.

"Auntie, I'm not cold," Qiao Qiao explained. Her current spiritual power was enough for her to abstain from grains. Forget about being afraid of the cold or the heat; she could live past two hundred years old without eating or drinking.

"Even if you're not cold, you can't act like this. If your dad sees this, he'll nag me to death." Qiao Xiaoyun rubbed her little face, then turned around and directed Meng Zihuan to bring the clothes from the chair by the bed and put them on her.

When Qiao Qiao came out after getting dressed, she found that apart from Meng Zhengcheng, who was setting the table, Yan Liti and the others were not at home.

After calling out "Uncle," Qiao Qiao raised her little head and asked Qiao Xiaoyun, "Auntie, where are Dad and Grandma?"

Qiao Xiaoyun poured some hot water from the thermos into the basin, then added some cold water. When she heard her question, she replied, "Your biological father and your grandmother drove back to the countryside to pick up your great-aunt and the others."

"Come here." She then beckoned to Qiao Qiao and scolded Meng Zihuan, who was dawdling with his schoolbag and didn't want to go to school: "And you, hurry up and go to school, what are you dawdling for!"

"Mom, can't I ask for leave like you?" Meng Zihuan murmured softly.

Yesterday's meal in Qiaojia Village was just a simple meal, while today's feast is the real welcoming banquet.

It was opened at the Mo family's martial arts school.

To show their respect for their great-uncle, the Qiao family not only gave the Mo family martial arts school a day off, but Qiao Xiaoyun and Meng Zhengcheng also took a day off to entertain Yan Xiaoqing and Wang Mingcheng.

"Why are you asking for leave? Your school only has half a day of classes today. You can come back without eating lunch. Why are you asking for leave?"

Qiao Xiaoyun said irritably.

Today is Friday. Meng Zihuan's preschool class only has half a day of classes, and school ends before lunch.

Meng Zihuan had chubby cheeks.

But she didn't dare to disobey her mother, so she could only walk away, turning back every three steps.

Qiao Qiao was happy to see her older brothers today.

After she brushed her teeth and washed her face, Qiao Changdong also came back carrying several bags, which were beef noodles he had bought in Xiangbei.

In Xiangbei, there's a morning market in Hongfeng Town, where people gather every day.

While Qiao Qiao was sleeping, he had already gotten busy. First, he bought a motorcycle full of ingredients and delivered them to the Mo Family Martial Arts School. Then, he went to a familiar restaurant, hired two kitchen helpers to deliver the ingredients, and finally, he drove his motorcycle to buy Qiao Qiao's favorite beef noodles.

I buy the beef noodles later, not with the vegetables, because the noodles tend to clump together, and I want them to be fresh.

After being away for more than a month, not to mention Qiao Qiao, even he couldn't get used to the food in Kyoto, Tianjin and Haishi. He had no appetite at all every day.

"I've been craving this so much! There's no place like home." After slurping a big mouthful of beef noodles, Qiao Changdong made a blissful expression.

Qiao Qiao imitated him, slurping her noodles with gusto and making the same blissful expression as Qiao Changdong.

Both father and daughter had exaggerated expressions as if they had finally come back to life.

Qiao Xiaoyun, who was watching from the side, was both annoyed and amused.

She glanced at the father and daughter: "What a bunch of scoundrels."

The father and daughter both grinned at her at the same time.

Qiao Xiaoyun said this, but in the blink of an eye, she lowered her head and put the two pieces of beef from her bowl into the bowls of her father and daughter.

"Thank you, Auntie. Thank you, Sister." The father and daughter expressed their gratitude with the same expression.

Qiao Xiaoyun didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, clearly indicating that she was in a very good mood.

Meng Zhengcheng raised an eyebrow and asked Qiao Changdong about Fu Yu.

Qiao Changdong did not hide anything and told the two everything that had happened in Haishi.

Meng Zhengcheng didn't say anything after listening.

But Qiao Xiaoyun frowned: "So Xiaoyu also intends for you to adopt him?"

"I don't think it will work out. His father is still alive, but he can't show up for some reasons. Besides, the threat to his life has disappeared, so he doesn't need to hide his identity with me anymore," Qiao Changdong said.

“That’s true. He inherited so much money. If you really adopt him, people will gossip about you behind your back.” Qiao Xiaoyun nodded in agreement.

That was the end of that topic.

The group then discussed how to arrange accommodations for Yan Xiaoqing and Grandpa Wang.

Although Yan Xiaoqing and Grandpa Wang didn't care, the conditions in the countryside were really too poor; there wasn't even electricity.

“Otherwise, let your uncle and aunt stay at our house, Meng Zihuan sleeps with you, and your brother-in-law and I will sleep at our workplace. We still have the TV you bought back then, and it's close to your place, so we can look after each other.”
