When Xiaodouzi heard Zhang Ling's answer, she threw herself into her arms and happily called her mother again.
Chen Jian put a slightly excited hand on Li Xiang's shoulder and said with a smile:
"Brother, congratulations!"
Although Li Xiang feels that Chen Jian staying here is too unnecessary.
But being able to hear the words of congratulations also made him realize that he was not dreaming at this moment.
Yes, this sudden happiness.
It really made Li Xiang feel like he was dreaming.
Zhang Ling noticed Li Xiang staring at her sillyly.
She pretended to be angry and said:
"Hey, what are you looking at? There won't be any dirt on my face."
Li Xiang smiled and shook his head:
"There is a beautiful flower on your face. It is so beautiful! No, it's not just beautiful! Especially the flower smells sweet and fragrant. It's like taking a bite of honey."
"Disgusting!" Zhang Ling glanced at Li Xiang while holding Xiaodouzi, and immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Jian felt more and more that he was too redundant.
He suddenly stood up and shook his body with a groan.
I tried to shake off the goosebumps all over my body because of Li Xiang’s words and deeds.
"Wait a minute! It seems that some people just don't want me to stay here! I'm going, I'm going, I'm going."
Chen Jian expressed his dissatisfaction to Li Xiang who was standing aside.
Xiaodouzi politely shouted "Uncle, goodbye" to Chen Jian's back.
Chen Jian didn't answer and walked out of the room angrily.
Li Xiang even scolded Chen Jian loudly:
"Hey, are there any elders like you? My niece said goodbye to you. How dare you not look back and not say a word."
Although I don’t know if Chen Jian heard these words.
Zhang Ling was deeply pleased to hear this.
It can be seen that Li Xiang is always protecting Xiaodouzi.
Xiaodouzi was not unhappy because of Chen Jian's behavior.
Instead, because of hearing Li Xiang's previous description, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Ling carefully for a while, a little greedy, but did not find any sweet flowers on her mother's face.
So he looked at Li Xiang curiously and asked:
"Dad, where are the sweet flowers on mom's face? I want to taste them too."
Zhang Ling covered her face and laughed happily because of Xiaodouzi's words.
Li Xiang seemed to have already thought of a way to deal with it.
I saw him getting up and taking a few steps forward, standing next to Zhang Ling, pretending to stare at her face, admiring her with seriousness for a long time.
Then he naturally put a hand on the child's shoulder and said in a slightly strange way:
"Xiaodouzi, haven't you seen your mother's face as white as a flower?"
"No!" Xiaodouzi didn't understand Li Xiang's words and suddenly thought that Li Xiang was lying to her. She almost burst into tears, "Mom, look at daddy. She won't let Xiaodouzi taste the sweet smell.
Flowers."
Xiaodouzi was provoked to tears.
Trying to find Zhang Ling on the side to make the decision for her.
Zhang Ling smiled helplessly and stretched out her hand to wipe away the child's tears and said:
"Don't cry, little Douzi, be strong, mommy will help you."
As she spoke, she looked at him with a bit of anger and called "Li Xiang".
"Didn't my daughter see it?" Li Xiang pretended to be confused, thought for a while and said, "Oh, I understand. That must be the flowers on mother's face that only father can see."
"Mom, do you still have this idea?" Xiaodouzi looked at Zhang Ling and asked.
"This..." Zhang Ling blushed and didn't know how to answer?
Li Xiang went on to explain:
"It's normal for you to not understand now, Xiaodouzi! You will naturally understand when you are no longer a child and grow up to be a big girl."
Zhang Ling somewhat admires Li Xiang's ability to coax children.
This is currently the best explanation for children.
When Xiaodouzi looked at her again for confirmation, she smiled and nodded slightly.
The little girl touched her earlobe habitually and thought for a while, then looked at Li with a vague understanding and wanted to say:
"Oh, I understand! What Dad means is that there is a difference in the world in the eyes of adults and children, right?"
Li Xiang smiled and shook his head and said:
"Don't think blindly. When you grow up to be a big girl, you will understand without your father having to say anything."
Xiaodouzi didn't get the answer he wanted, so he buried his head in Zhang Ling's arms, rubbing his little face and making a humming sound.
"Mom, look, dad is so bad. He won't tell me anything. How about you come and tell Xiaodouzi?"
Zhang Ling patted Xiaodouzi's body with her hand, as if coaxing a child to sleep and said:
"Little Douzi, he has a skillful hand. He embroiders with embroidery needles. He embroiders a dog, a cat, a sparrow, and chirps..."
Listening to Zhang Ling's children's songs, the child couldn't help but recall that her grandmother fed her meat and taught her how to tie flowers.
(Note: Maliu embroidery, commonly known as "tiehua", is a folk embroidery art popular in Chaotian District, GY City, SC Province.)
Grandma saw that she was quite talented in this area, and she was able to embroider a complete petal pattern on a piece of white cloth for the first time.
Therefore, Xiaodouzi, some embroidery needles, embroidery base fabrics, embroidery threads, and auxiliary tools such as thimbles, iron scissors, flower stretchers, embroidery blue, etc. were specially presented as gifts.
Xiaodouzi has not forgotten the skills passed down to her by her grandma.
Although the embroidered patterns are not as vivid as grandma's, they are enough to make most people marvel when they see them.
You know, very few girls today can learn needlework.
Zhang Ling received several handkerchiefs embroidered by Xiaodouzi herself.
It feels much happier than owning some luxury goods.
So she had an idea and took this opportunity to compose a children's song and sing it out.
I want to use praise to stop Xiaodouzi from worrying too much about the real meaning of Li Xiang’s words.
Obviously, this method is very useful.
Zhang Ling sent Xiaodouzi, who was sleeping in her arms, back to the bed.
When a child has experienced a scary event, being able to sleep peacefully will definitely help the child forget.
Sitting at the table with Li Xiang again and drinking tea.
Looking at the room that temporarily belongs to them.
In my mind, I unconsciously began to imagine similar scenes when we live together in the future.
Maybe it’s because I’m not used to it yet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
She was still a little embarrassed subconsciously.
I just kept sipping the weak tea.
Then he looked at Zhang Ling with a serious expression and asked:
"Ling'er, regarding the adoption of Xiaodouzi, we must first go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for marriage. When will you be free?"
In fact, as long as they receive the marriage certificate, their adoption will be completed.
Because what Zhenli wanted to send him was the adoption procedures for Xiaodouzi.
As for the word "marriage" that Chen Jian saw, it naturally refers to Zhang Ling and Li Xiang.
This means that Zhang Ling and Li Xiang only need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.
The adoption procedure regarding Xiaodouzi in Li Xiang's hands will automatically take effect.
Li Xiang really admires the real Li Xiang too much.
It seems that Zhang Ling has already guessed that Zhang Ling will agree to marry him for Xiaodouzi.
That’s why this document was sent in time.
In the document, Li Xiang also proposed to allow Li Xiang to use the villa he currently lives in as their wedding room.
This definitely solved his urgent need.
"What! Do you need to be so anxious? I have to talk to my father about this first."
Zhang Ling couldn't sit still and stood up.
Obtaining a marriage license is a very serious matter.
Zhang Ling is not like many young people today who have no rules.
As long as you fall in love with the other person, you will completely forget how you came to this world for the sake of their so-called true love?
A better one is like the superior notifying the subordinates that they are getting married and asking their parents to prepare for the wedding;
The worst case scenario was that they would not even notify their parents, steal the household registration book from home, and secretly marry their so-called true love.
The newlyweds can just live happily.
If you have a bad life, you will still be divided into two situations:
The better one is like an ancient creditor coming to collect debts, complaining that his parents don't care about his marriage at all;
The worst case scenario was that the marriage was divorced without notifying the parents.
"No rush!" Li Xiang said with a smile.
"Aren't you in a hurry?" Zhang Ling looked at him with a frozen smile and asked.
He saw the change in her expression and immediately explained solemnly:
"Oh, don't get me wrong. I mean, out of an attitude of being responsible for you, please give me some time to prepare for a grand proposal ceremony."
During his speech, he specially emphasized the word "grand".
So he has another purpose.
That is because he is unwilling to propose marriage using the identity of Zhen Li Xiang.
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Ling replied with a smile. At this time, she looked at the bed where Xiaodouzi was sleeping, and said with a little embarrassment, "It's just Xiaodouzi..."
"It doesn't matter. For Xiaodouzi's wish, our family of three can live together first."
Zhang Ling looked at him alertly and asked:
"Do you think I'm one of those ignorant girls who don't know what to do?"
Li Xiang smiled bitterly, waved his hand and explained:
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, you misunderstood! You must have misunderstood me, haven't you? I mean just like Qin Fen and Xiaoxiao in the movie "If You Are the One 2". Our family of three lived together and had a trial marriage."
He feels that living a life similar to that performed in movies and TV dramas is also a kind of romance.
"Isn't this the same thing? Li Xiang, you are shameless!"
Zhang Ling's excitement brought him back to reality from the romantic fantasy.
"Why am I so shameless?"
Zhang Ling pointed at his nose and cursed:
"Don't think I don't know your men's dirty little thoughts."
That's because she hates it even more when a man, under the pretext of trial marriage, deceives an ignorant girl who doesn't know how to behave and plays this kind of hooligan game with him.
"It's different, it's different!" He smiled bitterly and was about to continue explaining when he heard Xiaodouzi crying in his sleep, "Oh, mom and dad, I was wrong! Please don't leave me...
…”
The insecure Xiaodouzi worries that she will be abandoned even in her dreams.
The two quickly stood up and came to the bed again. Each of them grabbed a small hand and said comforting words at the same time in a tacit understanding:
"Little Douzi, my dear, mommy (dad) is here. Don't worry, we won't leave you. Go to sleep, sleep, little baby, just sleep peacefully."
Perhaps because of the tacit understanding this time, Zhang Ling also felt that she had misunderstood Li Xiang.
He saw that her resistance had softened significantly.
So he opened his mouth again and explained to Zhang Ling:
"I know what you are worried about? In order to give your child a stable home as soon as possible, I promise that before we get the marriage certificate, we will definitely live under the same roof and sleep in beds in different rooms. How can you feel at ease?"
/p>
After hearing this, Zhang Ling still lowered her head and hesitated without speaking.
Li Xiang pondered for a while and continued:
"Let's do it this way. Wherever I have more rooms, my home will be my place. When the time comes, I can bring my uncle over to live with me, and we can even let Yan Yuan live here too. This way, not only will there be more people, but we can also let them supervise the situation together.
You should feel at ease now."
Such conditions are tempting enough.
He felt that Zhang Ling would definitely agree with a smile.
What Li Xiang didn't expect was that Zhang Ling's hesitant face showed a bit of sadness.
She looked at Xiaodouzi sleeping on the bed with some pain in her heart.
The little girl's eyes rolled around, and then the corners of her mouth raised in a graceful arc.
Obviously, this is a sweet dream.
She was indeed completely moved by Li Xiang's sincerity.
I also want to see this little face blooming with a worry-free and bright smile every day.
A few moments.
Li Xiang didn't wait for Zhang Ling's answer, and said obviously anxiously:
"Ling'er, this is what you promised Xiaodouzi. If you have other better ideas, please tell me. I, Li Xiang, am not a person who disrespects you. As long as it is for Xiaodouzi's good, I will definitely agree.
”
Li Xianghua has already spoken for this reason.
Zhang Ling knew that if she didn't express her position, she would be unable to speak out.
She looked at Xiaodouzi who was sleeping soundly on the bed, bit her lip in embarrassment and said:
"The plan you mentioned is already very good. However, this matter is very big! I have to discuss it with my father. If my father does not agree, then please forgive me for not agreeing."
When she said the last sentence, she didn't dare to look directly at Xiaodouzi sleeping on the bed, and immediately turned her head aside.
Because some of my father’s ideas are not so easy to change.
For example, it has been instilled in her since she was a child that women should keep themselves clean and should never stay at a man's house with a different surname before she is married.
Now she is asked to completely violate this rule and live in Li Xiang's house.
She really doesn’t know how to say this?
He might be beaten to death by his father!
"I understand!" The considerate Li Xiang finally understood her dilemma, and then said to her with a smile, "Okay. How about I accompany you to go to your uncle to discuss this matter? I can help if necessary.
Please add a few words."
Zhang Ling knows one thing very well.
My father's impression of Li Xiang has always been very good.
Li Xiang was present and expressed his position on the spot when necessary.
Maybe it will help her explain the problem better.
So she nodded in agreement and said the word "ok".
Suddenly, there was a special knock on the door.
Unless you listen carefully, you really can't tell whether it's a knock on the door or the sound of the door being blown by the wind.
"You'd better go take a look. Maybe there really is someone." Zhang Ling urged Li Xiang, who had been looking at her obsessively.
Li Xiang reluctantly came to the door, and when he opened the door, he was surprised.
The person outside the door spoke to him:
"Li Xiang, I am your Grandpa Liu! Please help me..."
Before the other party could finish what he said, Li wanted to interrupt him and said:
"Hey, who are you? Don't mess around here, I don't know you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed the door nervously.
Just as he turned around to go back, he saw Zhang Ling already standing beside him and asked:
"Who is it? It sounds like that person knows you."
Li Xianggang was about to speak out, but as the knock on the door became louder and louder, Lao Liu's pleading voice sounded again.
"Li Xiang, Li Xiang, open the door. It doesn't matter whether you are the Li Xiang I know or not. I just ask you to save us two old brothers, okay? We really have nothing to do."
