Chapter 89 Lou Xiao’e

I had a nice sleep in the afternoon and was about to go out for a walk when I was stopped by an old lady from the Central Courtyard.

The aunt looked very worried at this moment. She quickly pulled Zhang Xingwang aside and said in a deep voice with a frown:

"Xingwang, what should we do about the adopted child?"

Zhang Xingwang listened to this opening remark and thought that it was probably an old lady poking Yi Zhonghai's lungs again.

But thinking that the aunt in the orphanage was a hardworking and kind person, I felt relieved and continued to listen to her.

It turned out that an old lady went to the street office yesterday afternoon, hoping to inquire about the adoption of a child, but she did not expect to directly alarm Director Wang.

Director Wang is worried about the resettlement of refugee orphans. Half of the houses in Yanjing are dilapidated, and the speed of renovation cannot keep up with the speed of population influx, so there is no way to resettle them.

Besides, few people can have enough to eat these days, let alone adding an extra mouth to feed at home after adoption.

It was a rare opportunity to find someone to adopt a child, so he went there in person after learning that it was the wife of Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard.

I told the aunt directly that your family fully meets the adoption requirements, and Yi Zhonghai has not been doing well recently, so this is a great thing. After saying that, I can't wait to take her to see the child.

The old lady was shocked. She tried her best to persuade Director Wang and then she ran back home.

I tentatively told Yi Zhonghai about this during dinner yesterday, but I didn't expect that Comrade Yi would explode. He looked like he was in a state of collapse, and kept saying that he disagreed, but also asked if it would be possible not to cause more trouble for him, as he was already annoyed enough.

When the aunt saw this reaction, she simply revealed her plan. She was also familiar with the person next to her, so she directly mentioned what Director Wang said. Adopting a child would also leave a good impression on Director Wang.

Unexpectedly, her husband Yi thought about it for a long time and still refused to agree. He just said that they had Jia Dongxu to take care of them in their old age and would not despise an old lady who could not have children. As for the real reason, I'm afraid only Yi Zhonghai himself knew.

The aunt then went to Zhang Xingwang indignantly and asked if there was any way she could persuade Old Yi. Through the whole hospital meeting that day, the news spread throughout the hospital that although Zhang Xingwang was not very smart, he was still a capable person.

Zhang Xingwang thought for a moment and said to the aunt:

"Auntie, this is actually a simple matter. You can just adopt the child. Uncle, don't worry.

No matter what he thinks, he won't divorce you for the child. And after a while, he will like the child. After all, at this age, who doesn't want to have a child to take care of him?

And think about the deaf old lady. When you reach that age and Mrs. Jia Zhang is still alive, do you think it is possible to expect Jia Dongxu's family to serve you like they serve the old lady? After all, she has a biological mother.

At worst, I'll just have a few days of quarrel with an old man, but it's all worth it for the sake of the children."

What Zhang Xingwang said was what he really thought. After all, the aunt was a really nice person and could take good care of the adopted child.

In the future, if I have a headache or fever, I will have someone to rely on. As for what will happen to Yi Zhonghai at that time, I hope he is still alive.

After saying that, he prepared to go out. He would go out for a stroll first, and then go to find San Ye in the pigeon market in the evening to see if there was any way to get two sets of furniture. The house would be renovated soon, so the furniture had to be prepared in advance.

After finishing this, I have to go back to the village. My cousin's wedding is coming soon, so I can pick up something. Now I have 3.7 cubic meters of space and nearly 500 yuan left in my pocket. Recently, I have to make more money for the house and the watch. I also sold the last wild boar.

What Zhang Xingwang didn't know was that Yi Zhonghai was exhausted this time. He didn't expect that even his bedmate, an old lady, would come to make trouble for him. This was a big blow to Yi Zhonghai, who was originally in good health.

As soon as Zhang Xingwang left the house, an old lady came shouting for everyone to help and send Yi Zhonghai to the hospital. It was said that he had a severe headache and fever, and the fever was quite serious.

Zhang Xingwang strolled out and prepared to go to the bookstore to buy some junior high school books and study materials for his fourth sister, so that she could feel her brother's love for her.

I also talked to my fourth sister yesterday and asked about her academic performance. I want her to skip a grade and go directly to junior high school, and she can skip as many grades as possible. If she can keep up, she can go directly to the third grade.

Everyone in the family was very confused. Although the fourth sister was a very good student, wasn't this just forcing her to learn too much?

Zhang Xingwang couldn't tell his family the specific reason, he just asked his fourth sister to trust him, and then asked if it was okay for her to skip a grade.

The fourth sister lowered her head and thought about it, then said confidently that if she was given some time, she would definitely be able to skip to the second year of junior high school. As for the third year of junior high school, she was more than half sure.

Moreover, the naughty girl, the fourth sister, also felt that her academic advancement was too slow, and had originally wanted to skip a grade and be in the same grade and class with He Yushui. She felt that going back to the sixth grade this time was a waste of her youth.

After hearing this, Zhang Xingwang had a deeper understanding of his sister's academic excellence.

It seems that everyone in my family has their own talents, but I don’t know what my talent is. It can’t be cooking, right?

They went to the bookstore and asked if there were any textbooks. Instead, they had some study materials, although not much. But Zhang Xingwang was so excited that he waved his hand and indicated that he would pack them all up.

I asked the clerk again and was told that if I wanted to buy books, I could either go to the school to ask or try my luck at a purchasing station.

When Zhang Xingwang heard the word "school", he recalled the days when he was beaten by mathematics. He shook his head violently and thought about trying the purchasing station.

Just as he was about to pay and leave, a girl came in. He looked closely and realized that this was the chicken soup girl he met in the library. She also noticed him and they smiled at each other. The girl saw that he bought a pile of books and looked at them curiously.

Zhang Xingwang thought it was quite a coincidence, and asked casually:

"Hello, my name is Zhang Xingwang, nice to meet you."

The girl didn't act pretentiously and replied with a smile:

"My name is Lou Xiao'e, why did you buy so many books?"

After hearing the name, Zhang Xingwang looked at the other person carefully and felt numb.

I was wondering how it could be her. Whatever you fear will come true. This time I have made a big mistake. Although this girl is indeed pleasing to the eye, if you are not destined to be with her, don't mess with her.

After a long while, he came up with one sentence and was ready to leave:

"I bought some review materials for my sister."

"You're pretty nice to your sister. Where do you work?"

"Um, I'm not at work, so I'm free. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

After saying that, Zhang Xingwang hurried out and went home. Sure enough, he saw a car on the side of the road with a driver standing next to it.

The Lou family is indeed extremely wealthy, and they are probably used to being high-profile. It seems that even if Xu Damao was not around, something bad would have happened to their family within a few days.
