Quick Wear: If I Had Regret Medicine

Chapter 16: Adopted and Abandoned Children 2

They had already learned about these children before they came.

It is more convenient for Tang Jianming and Tang Wenwen to adopt an older child.

"Little girl, are you willing to follow your aunt to your aunt's house?"

Tang Wenwen came to see him some time ago. It was her first time meeting Nian Xuanhe.

The little girl sat quietly on the side, watching the other children playing without blinking.

At that time, Tang Wenwen felt that this little girl was well-behaved, and there was a hint of melancholy on her delicate and pretty face.

Tang Wenwen held Xuanhe's hand and looked at her as her big eyes blinked and her mouth raised into a big smile.

"Auntie, are you here to be my mother?"

Xuanhe looked at Tang Wenwen with anticipation in his eyes.

"Then do you want me to be your mother?"

Tang Wenwen asked excitedly. She had already discussed it with the elders in her family and had visited the child several times. They liked Xuanhe's personality very much. If Xuanhe was interested this time, they would adopt the child directly.

Xuan He nodded, looked at her with red eyes and said, "I have been without a mother since I was a child, I also want a mother!"

Tang Wenwen excitedly hugged Xuanhe in her arms and introduced her to Tang Jianming behind her.

"Are you my dad from now on?"

Xuanhe opened his eyes wide and grabbed his clothes with both hands.

"Yes, I will be your father from now on. Many people in our family are waiting for you to come back. When you go back, you will have grandparents and grandparents, and they will definitely like you very much."

When Tang Jianming heard Xuanhe say the word "Dad", he felt as if his heart was filled with something.

He also has a child of his own, a chubby daughter.

Tang Jianming took Xuanhe, held her in his arms, and looked into her eyes, "Our family has been looking forward to seeing you for a long time!"

What Tang Jianming said was true. Although the elderly in the family felt sorry that the couple could not have a child of their own, they did not interfere too much in their lives.

When they heard that they wanted to adopt a child, they agreed.

However, at first the elders on both sides thought that the child they were going to adopt was a baby. Later, when they found out that it was a 5-year-old girl, they still had some concerns.

I’m afraid that the child will know that he was adopted and will not be close to his family.

But Tang Jianming knew very well that if a person had a conscience, he would remember the grace of being raised even if he knew he was adopted.

For heartless people, if they keep the truth from their children from a young age, and if one day they find out that the child is not their biological child, it will only take a moment for them to become distant from them.

There is no guarantee that adopting a baby will be good for them in the future.

It would be better to choose a child who looks good now.

The parents on both sides no longer objected.

They had also seen Xuanhe's photos, and they liked this delicate and pretty girl at first sight.

Xuanhe smiled widely when she heard that someone at home was also looking forward to her coming, "I am also looking forward to meeting my grandparents."

Seeing Xuanhe being taken away, many people were envious and they also hoped that they could be adopted.

Especially the two little children from the same village.

Tang Jianming and his friends went to handle the adoption procedures, while Tang Wenwen and Xuanhe were waiting at the door.

They asked Xuanhe if he wanted to change his surname, and Xuanhe nodded.

Anyway, it doesn't matter to her what her last name is.

The formalities were completed quickly, and the rest would require returning to where Tang Jianming and his team were.

When they got home, it was just after three in the afternoon.

Xuanhe was held by Tang Jianming, and he saw from afar the place that the original owner remembered in his previous life - Wan's Compound.

These are government-built houses, all welfare housing. The people living here are basically school teachers, workers in county factories, and doctors in the county hospital.

The personnel allocation is more complicated than other places.

Ever since the cancellation of welfare housing distribution, Wanjiayuan has become a place of envy for outsiders.

Moreover, most of the people living here are intellectuals. The surrounding facilities are quite good, and the school is just a few steps away, from elementary school to high school.

Even though the houses in Wanjiayuan look old now, it is still a place where outsiders cannot live even if they want to.

Wanjia Courtyard consists of 8 six-story houses.

The Tang family lives on the third floor of the first building.

The Jiang family lives on the fourth floor of Building 3.

Xuanhe struggled to come down when Tang Jianming was about to carry her upstairs.

In fact, she had wanted to get down before, but Tang Jianming and Tang Wenwen would always say that Xuanhe was still young and couldn't walk too tired, and then they would pick her up before she had taken two steps.

The Tang family’s current house has three bedrooms and a living room, but they rarely live here as they bought a house in the county town.

Grandpa Tang and Grandma Tang have retired, and they are all acquaintances, so the two of them are reluctant to leave.

Tang Jianming and Tang Wenwen would come here during their rest time. When they entered the door, they saw the whole family was there.

Grandpa Tang and Grandma Tang had three children in total, two sons and one daughter.

Tang Jianming is the eldest son. He married Tang Wenwen. Both of them are teachers. They have only one child, Tang Xuanhe, who is 5 years old this year.

The second son, Tang Jianfan, married He Miao and they had two children, twins, who are both 10 years old this year.

The brother’s name is Tang Heyu, which means that his parents had a wonderful encounter, and the sister’s name is Tang Jiayi.

The third child is Tang Jianyun. She just got married this year and has no children yet. She married someone who works in the same company as them and they are both accountants.

The one who didn't have a job was the second son, but the couple opened a small restaurant and their business was very prosperous.

The business of the two people will grow bigger and bigger in the future, and both of them are very shrewd.

Seeing Tang Jianming coming in, Tang Jianfan hurried forward and said, "Brother, you are back. This must be Xuanxuan. I am your second uncle!"

Xuanhe looked at Tang Jianfan in front of her. At this time, fat people were rarely seen, and the person in front of her was very fat.

Although he was about the same height as Tang Jianming, he was twice as wide as him, and his face was as big as a plate, with his eyes squeezed into a slit by the flesh on his face.

He looked at Xuanhe with a smile, but Xuanhe refused to look at his eyes. It seemed as if his eyes were not open, like Maitreya Buddha.

"Yes, this is Xuanxuan, and this is Second Uncle."

He lifted Xuanhe's hand to introduce him to Tang Jianfan and the people following behind him.

"This is my second aunt."

"Hello, Second Aunt!"

When Xuanhe saw his second aunt, he thought, no wonder the two of them could become husband and wife. When they smiled, they both looked like Maitreya Buddha.

He looks a bit serious when he is not smiling. There are two children following him, they should be Tang Heyu and Tang Jiayi.

Both of them were very beautiful, especially the little girl walking in front, who looked up at her with watery eyes.

"Are you my sister?"

Someone in the family had already told her that Tang Jiayi knew that a younger sister would come to play with her.

She had long wanted a younger sister so that she could be a big sister.

"Hello, sister."

When they met for the first time, Xuanhe was a little reserved. Whenever Tang Jianming introduced someone to her, she would call that person good.

After introducing everyone around her, Xuanhe found that the Tang family, at least on the surface, welcomed her and everyone was very happy to see her.

The two old people in particular looked at Xuanhe kindly, and the smiles on their faces had never faded since she came in.

Grandma Tang was an exquisite old lady who wore glasses and had completely white hair. She smiled and pulled Xuanhe.

"Xuanxuan, welcome to our home."

Just as the family was gathered together chatting and laughing, there was a knock on the door.

"Grandma Tang, is anyone home? I've run out of salt at home, and I'm too lazy to sell it today. I'll lend you some and return it tomorrow."

A loud voice came from the door, coming from far away and getting closer. It was the voice of a middle-aged woman.

"Aunt Tang, it's you. Come in and I'll give you the salt." Aunt Tang called out as the children called her.

The person at the door was Tang Zhu. The Tang family was stunned for a moment before they reacted.

It's normal for neighbors to borrow things from time to time, but their two homes are quite far away, yet they still come to borrow things. They just come to ask for information.

Everyone knows the answer, and there is nothing shameful about adopting a child, so just ask around.

Tang Jianfan entered the kitchen and quickly filled the small bowl brought by the second aunt of the Tang family with half a bowl of salt.

Xuanhe knew the person who came to borrow something. This person was Tang Mei's second sister, Tang Zhu. She was a very ordinary woman, not tall, and had a good appearance, but her skin was very dark.

Whenever there is some gossip in that family, she is there. She is someone who likes to join in the fun.

When she saw the little girl with red lips and white teeth sitting in Grandma Tang's arms, she looked like the girl under the seat of Guanyin, who was looking at her with her head slightly tilted.

Tang Zhu took the salt with a smile, and without even glancing at it, he asked Tang Wenwen beside him, "This is the little girl in your family from now on. How old is she?"

"Second aunt, she is 5 years old this year and is my little girl."

She smiled and said, "This little girl is really pretty, but she is a little old and remembers things."

Tang Zhu also heard some time ago that her sister was planning to adopt a child, but it was probably just talk and they didn't see any action.

After all, Tang Mei is still young, only 30 years old, and can also have children.

In Tang Zhu's opinion, adopted children will belong to other families when they grow up, so it is better to raise nephews and nieces at home.

Jiang Mingshan has several brothers and sisters, and many children. At the very least, he has two children of his own.

Instead of giving the money to outsiders, it is better to spend it on your family.

Unfortunately, Tang Mei was unwilling to do so.

Otherwise, according to Tang Mei and his wife's current income, whoever's child they adopt will get a bargain.

This kind of good thing is very tempting.

Tang Zhu just came to see the children adopted by the Tang family. He didn't intend to cause any trouble, so he didn't disturb them and went back slowly with the bowl in his hand.

The entire Tang family lives in the Wanjia compound. Tang Zhu married a man who works in a factory in the county town and was also given a house in the Wanjia compound.

The man she married was called Liu An. Their house and the Jiang family were located upstairs and downstairs, very close. After Tang Zhu put down the bowl, she went straight to the Jiang family downstairs.

It was dinner time, so she took the prepared meal and went to Jiang's house.

When the Jiang family saw Tang Zhu, they were also eating, so they called out, "Second sister, come and eat."

"I'm eating right now. I'm telling you, I went to Tang Lao's house today and saw the little girl that his family adopted. She's pretty and friendly, but she's already 5 years old. I don't know what their family is thinking."

Father Jiang's wrinkled brows furrowed even more tightly. He thought that the second sister of the eldest son's wife liked to gossip, and that such a person would get into trouble sooner or later.

"The Tang family? The eldest daughter-in-law of their family was pregnant before. I guess they really couldn't have children anymore, so they adopted a child."

Jiang's mother likes Tang Zhu very much, and she also likes to chat with people, but everyone in the family is very busy, and usually no one talks to Tang's mother at home, and there are no children in the family now.

They now live with Jiang Mingshan, and their other sons do not live here. When they have free time, they want to find someone to talk to.

So Jiang's mother followed up Tang Zhu's words. She was also very interested in this topic because there had been a quarrel in the family some time ago about the adoption of a child.

Jiang's mother was the first to disagree with adopting a child.

His son is a doctor and he took her to the hospital. There was nothing wrong with her. Maybe it was Tang Mei who had the problem.

In the past, chickens that didn't lay eggs would have been kicked out long ago.

But his son liked Tang Mei very much and they grew up in the same yard.

Although Tang Mei is good-looking, has a good job, and treats her parents-in-law very well, her mother is not a good person.

In fact, over the years, Jiang's mother has become indifferent to children's affairs.

In this era, it is not necessary to have a son. If it is not possible, you can adopt the children of other brothers.

But Tang Mei's mother, I don't know what kind of magic potion she had given Tang Mei, and she listened to Tang's mother and wanted to adopt a child.

How could Jiang's mother agree to this? Jiang Mingshan's younger brother Jiang Minghai has three sons. Wouldn't it be nice to just adopt one of them?

Moreover, Jiang Minghai agreed to adopt his third son, but Tang Mei refused to do so.

Some time ago, there was a long quarrel in the family over the issue of adopting a child, but fortunately Tang Mei stopped in time and gave up the idea.

Otherwise, they would do the same as the Tang family and adopt a stranger, but whether they can raise the child well or not is another matter.

"Yes, I heard that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family has been to the hospital many times over the years. It's because of her health. She was injured by the miscarriage that year. But only their family wants to keep such a woman."

When Jiang's mother heard Tang Zhu say this, she looked up at her and said nothing.

Wasn't her own sister the same, also a goose that didn't lay eggs?

You still have the nerve to talk about others.

However, Tang Zhu didn't notice the gazes of several people here. He took a bite of rice and continued, "By the way, sister, have you finished taking the medicine that mom gave you? I ran into mom this morning, and she told you to come get it after you finish it."

Tang Zhu finished the food in his bowl and planned to go upstairs to get some more food to continue chatting. He casually conveyed what Tang's mother said in the morning.

"Okay, I'll get it later."

Tang Mei swallowed the food in her mouth and said to Tang Zhu who was waiting for her answer.

Her thoughts drifted away. In her previous life, on this day, she and her husband went to the welfare home to adopt Nian Xuanhe.

After returning home, they had an argument with their family because the elderly in the family never agreed with them adopting a child.
