Chapter 296 The Dust Has Settled (22)

Ding Jiamin stayed in the office, while Aunt Huang went out to call Xiaomi over.

Xiaomi had just finished her painting, and came happily with it. Seeing this, Liuliu also followed with her ghost painting, but was stopped by Aunt Huang, who told her to play by herself.

Liuliu was very dissatisfied, thinking that the headmistress was bullying the little girl, and yelled to show her the painting.

Aunt Huang glanced at it, but didn't dare to look at it again, and asked Liuliu to show it to Teacher Xiaoliu. Teacher Xiaoliu has artistic talent, can draw, sing, dance, and play the piano.

Liuliu heard it, and hurriedly took her masterpiece to find Teacher Xiaoliu. Along the way, she saw many children and showed them enthusiastically. Except for Xier who said it was ugly, the other children didn't understand it at all.

Let's not talk about Liuliu explaining her painting to the children. After Xiaomi came to the office, she couldn't wait to give the painting to Ding Jiamin first. This painting was painted for her. There is a policewoman in the painting, and there is no doubt that it is her.

Aunt Huang smiled bitterly when she saw this, but she still had to ask the question.

She tactfully asked Xiaomi that she and Sister Xiaomin both wanted her to become their family and live together in the future, and asked her who she wanted to be with more.

Xiaomi didn't understand and thought it was just a game, so she stood at Ding Jiamin's feet without hesitation.

Well, Aunt Huang already knew the result.

She gave the place to Ding Jiamin, and she explained the adoption to Xiaomi.

Aunt Huang came to the first floor, dealing with various questions from the children while thinking about the two people upstairs.

During this time, Zhang Tan came back and told her that he had picked two welfare homes with very good conditions and asked her to choose one of the two, but he immediately knew that Ding Jiamin wanted to adopt Xiaomi.

Before Zhang Tan could digest the news, Aunt Huang said that she actually wanted to adopt, and Lao Huang and Meimei had agreed, but they didn't compete with Ding Jiamin.

Knowing that Ding Jiamin was talking to Xiaomi, Zhang Tan went home, put down his bag, and came down immediately to wait for the result.

"Director?" Ding Jiamin came down and greeted Aunt Huang, "Zhang Tan is back too."

"How did the talk go?" Zhang Tan asked.

Ding Jiamin whispered, "We've said everything we need to say. Xiaomi is crying and very sad."

Zhang Tan and Aunt Huang understood that although she would be adopted by her idolized sister Xiaomin and become a family, if her mother hadn't abandoned her, why would she need to be adopted?

Blood ties cannot be severed. Xiaomi always thought that her mother would come back to find her one day, but tonight, this hope was shattered. Her mother would not come to find her. She would become someone else's child.

Even if this someone else's family was Xiaomin's, it was still a very sad thing for her.

Mother is irreplaceable in the heart of every child.

Aunt Huang said to Ding Jiamin, "You will have a hard time in the future. It's really hard to raise a child alone."

Before Ding Jiamin made the decision, she thought about all kinds of difficulties. Now that she had figured it out, she would no longer hesitate on this issue. She said firmly, "I will try my best to take good care of Xiaomi."

She is now worried about another problem, how to explain this to her family, her parents don't know Xiaomi yet.

Ding Jiamin and Aunt Huang returned to the office, Zhang Tan did not go in, he just glanced inside from outside, and saw Xiaomi sitting on a chair with her feet hanging in the air, quietly wiping tears, crying and choking.

Out of a woman's instinct, Ding Jiamin squatted in front of her and whispered to comfort her.

But Xiaomi still cried a lot.

Ding Jiamin is good at mediating disputes and even rolling up her sleeves to catch people, but it is her first time to take care of children. She is unfamiliar with the movements and even helpless.

In the nearly half a year of being responsible for picking up Xiaomi, to be honest, she did not do very well, at most she was mediocre. She didn't know how to take care of children, and she didn't understand the hearts of children.

She had too much to learn.

Fortunately, there was the experienced Aunt Huang around, and Aunt Huang signaled that she could hold Xiaomi. At this time, hugs and warmth are more effective than words.

Obviously, Xiaomi is extremely insecure now and needs a warm embrace.

Ding Jiamin was stunned, and hugged Xiaomi's little body awkwardly, slowly, and a little awkwardly, letting her little body lean against her arms, giving her some warmth when she was helpless.

She clearly felt Xiaomi tremble, her little body tensed, and then slowly relaxed.

Two strangers drifting in the Pujiang metropolis, because of a wonderful fate, combined together and formed a new family. They are not in a relationship of care and being cared for, but a relationship of mutual warmth.

Ding Jiamin had a broken heart once, and she never talked about a boyfriend again. She has a strong personality, is competitive, does not know how to be gentle, does not know how to act like a spoiled child, is decisive and independent, loves very clearly, and never relies on anyone. She doesn't cook well, let alone make beautiful snacks. She can't sing, can't dance, her skin is not white, her hair is not flowing, she never wears makeup, and is always bare-faced.

It's not that she is not beautiful, but the strange thing is that she has no luck with men. She has been single for so many years, and there are only a few people chasing her.

Xiaomi chose Ding Jiamin, and Ding Jiamin also chose Xiaomi.

Ding Jiamin told her family about this, which triggered another huge debate. Her parents tried their best to persuade her, and even suspected that their daughter had given birth to the child before marriage, and only told them now.

The two elders were worried, so they rushed from their hometown to Pujiang to see Ding Jiamin with their own eyes.

Ding Jiamin was very good at mediating neighborhood disputes. After she told the two elders the whole story of Xiaomi's life and the fate of the two, they fell silent.

Mother Ding was more concerned about her daughter's marriage and said, "What if you have a boyfriend in the future? Will there be a boy willing to accept him?"

Ding Jiamin said, "I don't need him to accept me, I just need him to understand me."

Mother Ding sighed and asked, "How will you take care of Xiaomi in the future when you are alone in Pujiang?"

Ding Jiamin: "Isn't this how I spent the past six months?"

The two elders said everything they should say and looked at each other. They knew their daughter's character and would never change her decision easily.

In the end, they only had one last request: "We want to see the child."

Ding Jiamin: "Okay, let's have dinner together tonight."

Dad Ding said, "What kind of dishes does the child like to eat? We will cook it."

Ding Jiamin was stunned. She didn't know what Xiaomi liked to eat, but Xiaomi knew that she liked to eat pineapple sweet and sour pork.

Mother Ding immediately said, "Look at you, you said you have taken care of the child for half a year, but you don't even know what the child likes to eat. You have a lot to learn."

They bought a lot of dishes and made a sumptuous dinner. In the evening, Ding Jiamin came with Xiaomi.

The two elders felt so distressed when they saw the little girl's frail and pitiful appearance. How could such a lovely child have such a miserable life?

Finally, they agreed. Mother Ding was worried for the time being and wanted to stay and live in Pujiang for a while to help Ding Jiamin take care of Xiaomi.

But Ding Jiamin asked her to go back because Xiaomi was still in a stage of extreme insecurity and it would take an adaptation process to accept her, not to mention that there was suddenly another person.
