"Shanshan, can you really look at Ah Nuan without recognizing her?" Xu Rongrong looked at Wen Shanshan and asked sympathetically.
Wen Shanshan lowered her head silently and said nothing. Although her face seemed to be full of calmness and serenity, the pain in her heart was like a knife. People who have not experienced it personally really don't know how painful it is.
Xu Rongrong did not disturb her and let her think quietly while he turned his attention to Ah Nuan.
After a while, An Nuan had finished chattering. When Xu Rongrong saw this, he walked forward with food.
The first thing he took out was the kind of plastic but high-quality plates he bought, four white imitation porcelain plates, which were neatly placed in front of the tombstone. Then Xu Rongrong took out some snacks and placed them inside.
Finally, just like last time, she took out a bottle of wine, poured two glasses, and placed them in front of the tomb.
"Old man, we came to see you. The last time we saw you was a few months ago. Today is Ah Nuan's birthday, so I brought her here again." Xu Rongrong said to the tombstone.
"A Nuan has grown taller and gained a lot of weight recently. She lives a pretty good life. She has two brothers who teach her how to study and often buy her clothes that she likes. Look at A Nuan now. You know whether she is beautiful or not.
I can’t come out.” Xu Rongrong said, turning back and stroking A Nuan’s hair.
Indeed, looking at Ah Nuan now, she is completely different from Ah Nuan when we first met.
At that time, although Ah Nuan was not dirty, her hair was messy and unsightly, and her clothes were patched one after another.
The old man is too old to see the road clearly, let alone bathe his children.
So A Nuan said that after she was eight years old, she took the baths by herself.
How clean can a child be? Even if he is washed with stream water every day, there are actually many places on Nuan's body that are stained with dirt, especially the back, which is dark and dirty.
Moreover, because she was a vegetarian in the mountains and there was nothing delicious to eat, ten-year-old Ah Nuan was as skinny and small as a seven-year-old child.
Now, after being carefully raised by Xu Rongrong for several months, he has become taller, has gained weight on his body, and his hair has also grown longer.
Xu Rongrong gave her a small bun, a bow headdress, and a pink skirt. She was as cute as a little princess. No one could connect her with the skinny little child a few months ago.
Together.
"Old man, don't worry. Ah Nuan will grow up happily in the future, live a happy and healthy life, and live with your expectations." Xu Rongrong held the tearful Ah Nuan tightly in his arms, and then
Comfort her softly.
"Have you forgotten, Ah Nuan? Grandpa will be sad if you cry." Xu Rongrong whispered while wiping her tears.
An Nuan was startled, then retorted slyly, "But, An Nuan burst into tears when she saw grandpa, and grandpa won't be sad."
Xu Rongrong's hand wiping her tears was froze in mid-air. She was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing. She looked at Ah Nuan funny and said, "Okay, you've only been following Bai for a few days, so you can learn his cunning ways."
Come on, you little girl."
After saying that, he stretched out his right index finger and lightly tapped An Nuan's forehead.
Ah Nuan pursed her lips and showed a faint smile, "Okay, okay, since Grandpa likes Ah Nuan's smile, Ah Nuan will smile at Grandpa."
After saying that, he quickly ran to the tomb, squatted down, and seemed to be whispering to his grandfather.
Xu Rongrong had no choice but to laugh, but the fact that A Nuan could show her cunning side at this time instead of crying all the time proved that her heart was finally not as helpless and uneasy as before.
When a person is afraid, helpless and uneasy, sadness will fill her mind. This has nothing to do with the amount of love or not, it is completely subconscious in the human heart.
Of course, there must be a lot of sadness, but if there is not so much sadness and sadness, in fact, most of the sadness can be controlled.
Now seeing An Nuan like this, Xu Rongrong finally felt relieved.
A Nuan finally no longer only existed in the past, her people including her heart were completely integrated into the Zhan family. She hid her grandfather deeply in her heart and never shed tears easily again.
A Nuan has grown up.
Sighing, Xu Rongrong stood up and came to Wen Shanshan's side.
After a while, Wen Shanshan also thought about it clearly, so when Xu Rongrong stood still, she turned her head and looked at Xu Rongrong seriously.
"I will quit the organization and help Zhan Yiyang deal with the organization," she said decisively, with determination in her eyebrows.
Xu Rongrong was surprised, "Why are you so sure all of a sudden?"
Xu Rongrong had begged several times before, and Wen Shanshan had been hesitant, but now she was decisive. There must be something wrong.
Wen Shanshan's eyebrows lowered and her voice lowered, "Rongrong, I don't know how long I can hide my identity, but I hope that one day, when A Nuan discovers her true life experience, she won't hate me too much."
Wen Shanshan's voice was low, with an imperceptible sadness in her tone, and Xu Rongrong couldn't help but sympathize with her.
"A Nuan will not hate you. I will teach her to be tolerant and forgive." Xu Rongrong held Wen Shanshan's hand as if to comfort her and said as if to reassure her.
"Thank you." Wen Shanshan shook Xu Rongrong's hand, "Thank you Rongrong, thank you for adopting Ah Nuan and allowing me to find my daughter in my lifetime. Thank you for telling me Ah Nuan's life experience so generously, risking the loss of
Ah Nuan told me the truth. Thank you."
Looking at Wen Shanshan's sincere eyes, Xu Rongrong couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of her previous anxiety. She lowered her head and said with some embarrassment, "Actually, I was also afraid that you would take Ah Nuan away, and I hesitated, but I think
, I have no right to block anything, let alone make decisions for A-Nuan. If A-Nuan knew about this, she would also want to find her biological mother."
There was a hint of sadness in Wen Shanshan's eyes, "Maybe she won't be able to find out who her biological mother is, but I will always be behind her to protect her. I missed her for ten years, but I will definitely protect her in the years to come.
Will not be absent."
"Okay, let's protect Ah Nuan together and let her grow up healthily." Xu Rongrong's nose was a little sore, she suppressed her nasal sound, held Wen Shanshan's hand, and said firmly.
"Yes," Wen Shanshan nodded. She turned her head and looked at Ah Nuan. Her eyes, which were usually full of coldness, were now full of tenderness and tenderness.
However, Xu Rongrong suddenly considered another question. If Wen Shanshan wants to protect Ah Nuan, what is her identity? Is she a good friend of Ah Nuan's mother?
No, this is too sad.
Her child can only call her aunt. Wen Shanshan cannot bear this kind of pain. It is unfair to her.
There must be a solution. Xu Rongrong narrowed his eyes and thought carefully.
If you can't call me aunt, then call me something like that. You can't call me mom, so... godmother?
Suddenly, Xu Rongrong suddenly said these words.
When she gave birth to Tianning, Ye Zi'an was determined to be Tianning's godmother. Now, it is not impossible for Wen Shanshan, who is also her friend, to recognize her daughter as her goddaughter.
There is only one word difference between mother and godmother. Although the identity is very different, it is still better than the word aunt.
If A Nuan can call Wen Shanshan like this, it must be a great comfort to her soul.
After thinking of this wonderful idea, Xu Rongrong couldn't wait to pull Wen Shanshan to the grave.
"What's wrong, Rongrong?" Wen Shanshan looked at Xu Rongrong without knowing why she was so excited and dragged her here.
"The old man is the one who has raised Ah Nuan for ten years. If the old man hadn't picked up Ah Nuan, there might have been no Ah Nuan in the world." Looking at Wen Shanshan's confusion, Xu Rongrong simply told all the details of when he met Ah Nuan.
come out.
When it was mentioned that A Nuan was wearing tattered patched clothes, couldn't eat anything, and was as skinny as a stick, Wen Shanshan's distressed tears flowed out in a suppressed manner.
She knelt down, hugged Ah Nuan into her arms, and cried uncontrollably.
Poor child, mother doesn’t know that you have suffered so much. You have worked so hard before, my child...
Holding Ah Nuan tightly, Wen Shanshan shed tears of distress, until Ah Nuan's childish voice sounded, and her back suddenly stiffened.
"Aunt Shanshan, what's wrong with you?" Little A Nuan asked in a low voice because she didn't know why this beautiful Aunt Shanshan was crying while hugging her.
Little did she know that "Aunt Shanshan" in this life had directly chilled Wen Shanshan's heart. Only then did she realize that although she tried hard to do psychological work, she still couldn't accept that her child called her "Auntie".
Xu Rongrong noticed Wen Shanshan's discomfort and hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull A Nuan out, and then comforted her with a smile, "A Nuan, Aunt Shanshan just thought you were so well-behaved and cute. She is older than her mother, but she has no children, so
I want to adopt you as my goddaughter, is that okay?"
No matter how good Xu Rongrong thought this decision was, she still had to obtain Ah Nuan's consent.
Ah Nuan lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Although she didn't understand why her mother would do this, she also liked this Aunt Shanshan. I heard Brother Bai Yi say that having a mother is just an extra one to love her. What's wrong with that?
.
So, after thinking for two minutes, An Nuan nodded.
Ever since Xu Rongrong asked An Nuan for permission, Wen Shanshan had been stiff and unable to move. She was both surprised and worried.
I was pleasantly surprised by Xu Rongrong's idea. Although there is a big difference between godmother and mother, calling me godmother is better than aunt.
Worry is because she is afraid that An Nuan will refuse. If An Nuan refuses, even if Xu Rongrong wants to help her, there will be nothing he can do.
But what excited her was that An Nuan agreed, and that little "hmm" sounded to her ears like the sound of nature.
She turned around suddenly, hugged An Nuan, and said excitedly, "Call mom."
Ah Nuan glanced at Wen Shanshan blankly, then opened her mouth and shouted, "Hello, mom Shanshan."
