Seeing what Jian Yuelan and the others were carrying, Zhou Xiaoxiao said strangely.
"It's not for you."
Zheng Wan and Zhou Xiaoxiao were familiar and blurted out after hearing her words.
"Where's the child? Why didn't you see it?"
She poked her head around, and Zhou Xiaoxiao showed a happy smile, "I'm sleeping."
Then, she turned on the show-off mode.
Praise the children for how obedient and sensible they are, how filial they are, etc.
"Can you see filial piety at such a young age?"
Zheng Wan was noncommittal and said something unpleasant, "Don't be like Zhou Qingqing again."
As soon as these words came out, she started to complain as if she couldn't hold it in.
"I'm not saying that, I don't think you two know how to raise a child."
"You said that Zhou Qingqing was raised like a treasure by the two of you. He even brought her with him to the island, but ended up raising a white-eyed wolf..."
Her complaints were really sharp and she didn't spare any face for Zhou Xiaoxiao.
Jian Yuelan and the others watched helplessly as the smile on Zhou Xiaoxiao's face froze, and they had the urge to cover their faces. What on earth was this guy doing?
Just look at your children, why are you talking about them?
After all, she is a mother, but she doesn’t understand the concept of being distant and not kissing.
This would change someone who has a bad temper and start doing it right away.
However, Zhou Xiaoxiao had a good temper. Although his smile froze for a moment, he nodded in agreement with her words, as if you were right.
After she finished speaking, this person smiled and said -
"Don't mention her anymore, we have severed ties with her."
His tone was calm and the expression on his face was natural, but the depths of his gentle eyes were filled with grief and indignation.
"My fate as a sister has ended. Lao Zhang and I have nothing else to think about now. We just want to raise Tongtong well."
"The child is called Tongtong?"
Worried that Zheng Wan said something shocking again, Jian Yuelan asked warmly.
"Um."
Zhou Xiaoxiao responded, and the sadness and anger in his eyes dissipated and turned into a smile, "Tongtong is a nickname, and this child's real name is Zhou Tong."
"It's a pretty good name."
Wu Yue answered, "Will the child change his surname?"
"to not fix."
Zhou Xiaoxiao answered without hesitation, "It's true that we took him home, but that doesn't mean we have to erase where he came from."
"His father is a hero and a hero who is buried in the Martyrs Park and can be worshiped by future generations. Tongtong is his only descendant. I hope this child can remember his father."
Jian Yuelan could see that her words were sincere and she sincerely intended to do so, but it was inappropriate.
She shook her head, "You don't have to change your surname, but you have to give it your old Zhang's surname."
"I think so too."
Wu Yue and Jian Yuelan had the same view, "There are many people in the family area who are gossiping. Since you and Lao Zhang have brought your child home, you must consider every aspect for your child."
"If your child doesn't take your family's surname, do you think those gossips will tease him with the surname issue?"
"The child is still young and not sensible. When he gets older, he will ask you why he doesn't have your last name and how will you answer him."
Her family also adopted one and has experience in this area.
Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't think so much about it at first, but now that Wu Yue mentioned it, she realized that raising a child was not that simple, especially the child of a comrade.
Or the preparation work was not enough.
but--
"Children have poor memory, and Tongtong is still young. I'm worried that after changing his surname, he will forget his father."
"You have to teach me this."
Zheng Wan feels that this problem is not a problem at all, "When your child grows up and becomes sensible, you can tell him the truth."
"Children's education needs guidance from parents. The old man also said that a small tree will not grow straight until it is cultivated. You have to raise your children like a small tree."
"Instead of letting the child grow up as he pleases."
The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough.
Zhou Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "Then I can change it for him?"
"Change what?"
"Zhang Tong."
Zhang Nan couldn't help but said, "Have you ever thought about adding your old Zhang's surname in front of his original name?"
"Then my name is Zhang Zhoutong."
Zhou Xiaoxiao reacted quickly and answered immediately, "I will discuss it with Lao Zhang when he comes back."
"Um."
While they were talking, the child woke up and ran out with his bare feet to look for his mother.
"Hey, mom is here."
Zhou Xiaoxiao, who heard the noise, immediately rushed towards him and hugged him when he saw that he was not wearing shoes, "Why did you run out without wearing shoes?"
"Mom is missing."
The child's two small arms that looked like matchsticks hugged her neck, "I'm afraid."
As he spoke, he buried his face in her neck, only to meet the eyes of Jian Yuelan and the others.
The child was startled, and his eyes widened, "There is someone."
he exclaimed.
"These are your aunts who came to see you."
Zhou Xiaoxiao carried him over and introduced Jian Yuelan and the others to him.
The child obediently called someone, then buried his face in Zhou Xiaoxiao's arms and refused to come out.
Zhou Xiaoxiao apologized, "The baby has just arrived, so I'm a little bit used to it."
Jian Yuelan and the others nodded to show their understanding, chatted for a few words and then left, leaving space for the newly appointed mother and son.
Zhou Xiaoxiao and his wife are serious about raising a child. How serious are they?
So serious that after Zhou Xiaoxiao talked with Zhang Jianshe, he started visiting from door to door.
The purpose of the visit was not for anything else, but to hope that the family members in the family area would be merciful and not talk about being adopted in front of the child all day long.
In order to show his sincerity, he did not visit empty-handed, but brought something with him.
It was all for the sake of the children. Most of the people who were visited and confiscated things agreed to keep it secret. Only a very small number of people accepted the items and promised not to tease their children about it.
Jian Yuelan refused. She looked at Zhang Jianshe and said sincerely, "It costs a lot to raise a child. Take it back to replenish the child's health."
"good."
Zhang Jianshe, who knew her and Ye Linxing's relationship well, didn't treat her politely, and said with a smile on his face, "Brothers and sisters, can my Tongtong come to play with your children in the future?"
Jian Yuelan glanced at the fat boy who was happily kicking his feet in her grandfather's arms, and smiled, "If Tongtong doesn't dislike his brother for being too young to play with, he can come over at any time."
"Okay, after the child gets familiar with it, I'll ask Xiaoxiao to take him to see his brother."
"good."
After sending Zhang Jianshe away, Jian's father and the old man made comments at the same time.
"Comrade Xiao Zhang is good and has a good heart."
They are all mature people, and you can tell at a glance whether a person can get to know them deeply.
"It is a blessing for children to come to their home. Children raised by upright parents will not be any worse."
Jian's mother snorted, "I haven't raised my girl well."
Jian Yuelan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I don't blame them. When they picked her up, Zhou Qingqing was already in her early teens and her personality was already established."
The couple is innocent when it comes to raising children.
She is not a little girl who is ignorant and has no memory. A girl in her teenage years cannot afford to take things seriously, and the couple both have jobs, so it is impossible to stay with Zhou Qingqing all the time.
What they can provide is care when returning home from get off work and daily expenses.
"That's because I wrongly blamed them."
Jian's mother corrected her mistakes when she knew they were wrong. Thinking of Zhou Qingqing's words again -
"Just wait, this girl doesn't know how to make trouble yet."
