Chapter 178
Chapter 178
It was ten thirty-five at night. The Nan family was very tired because of the funeral during the day, but they still didn't want to go to bed, only because they had the same dream on their own private plane. Everything in the dream seemed to be covered by a layer of mist and could not be seen clearly, but the feeling was as if they had experienced it personally, so real, especially the little girl in the dream. The feeling and the voice were so kind and so nostalgic, as if she was originally their child and was torn apart alive. It was so heartbreaking!
Later, when Nan Zhaozhao appeared, the couple only took one look and were sure that the youngest and chubby little girl in the video news was the child they had been thinking about all these days, and it was a perfect match!
Seeing the little girl in a dishevel, with her face as dirty as a kitten, and her big watery eyes looking at the camera as if she had nothing to say, the whole family felt heartbroken.
Ms. Dong wished she could go to her side in the blink of an eye, hug her in her arms and comfort her.
"Do you have anything else to add about Xiaobao?"
Ms. Dong said anxiously, "No matter who Xiaobao is, where she comes from, or who her parents are, from now on she is my daughter! My beloved little girl!"
Ms. Dong’s words seem unreasonable, but the three men in the family think the same way!
The brothers Nan Ye and Nan Huai said in unison, "Yes, from now on she is our little sister, our biological little sister!"
Nan Chen took a deep breath and said, "Well, then help Xiao Bao contact the school tomorrow. She is still young and cannot stop studying!"
Speaking of schools, the best school in Jiang City is Tengyue Private School. If you want to send your children there, you must first verify their financial resources to prove that your family is strong enough to send your children to this school. Of course, the faculty of this school is second to none in the country, and it is ranked among the top schools in the world, so they have no shortage of students.
Nan Huai thought for a while and said, "My teacher has a position at Tengyue School. I can ask him for help!"
Nan Huai, who works in a secret research institute, has completely different interpersonal relationships from Nan Chen, a businessman, so he also wants to do his part for his younger sister.
Nan Ye also wanted to say that he could go talk to Teng Yue's school director, after all, it was just a matter of one sentence, but before he could open his mouth, Ms. Dong said, "Don't worry about it, we will follow the formal procedures, isn't it just to verify the capital? It's a piece of cake. If our family can't afford to verify the capital, then there are not many families in the whole Jiang City who can. Now the most worthy of worry is what Xiaobao's academic qualifications are. If she is sent directly to the junior high school department, I don't know if her grades can keep up!"
Nan Chen said, "This is easy. Pay a high price to hire a live-in teacher. If Xiaobao's grades are good, then give her extra lessons to improve her grades. If her grades are very poor, then take this opportunity to improve them!"
"But it's already the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Spring Festival is in seven days. Can we invite a teacher to come to our home at this time?"
Nan Chen replied confidently, "Don't worry about this. As long as the money is in place, nothing can be impossible!"
The matter has been decided at this point in the discussion, and the next thing to discuss is the brothers returning to their workplace.
When talking about her two sons' jobs, Ms. Dong burst into tears. "You haven't spent a single Spring Festival at home since you started working. Every Spring Festival, I feel so sad when I see other families having a lively reunion. I miss you so much!"
Nan Chen hurriedly comforted Ms. Dong, "Xiang Xiang, don't you still have me? Your sons' careers cannot be delayed. They are also helpless. As parents, we must support and understand!"
Speaking of the nature of his work, Nan Huai is a young medical professor at a national confidentiality research institute. Nan Ye is even more mysterious. He is an important figure at the national first-level confidentiality level, and can also be called an important lethal weapon of the Ministry of State Security! He is called a special forces soldier, but the weapons and technology he has in his hands can easily destroy an entire country at once. His strength is quite terrifying!
Two such capable people are now sad because they cannot stay at home to spend the Spring Festival with their parents. There is no other way. It is a rare opportunity for them to get a week-long vacation due to work requirements. They cannot ask for too much!
"Mom, I'm sorry, my son is going to disappoint you again this year!"
Nan Huai also said, "Mom, on New Year's Day, I will find a way to video call you, and we will celebrate the New Year together!"
Ms. Dong knew that both of her sons were very filial. They had no other choice. She raised her hand and took out a tissue to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes. Then she smiled and said, "Mom was just emotional for a moment, so she said some unreasonable things. I understand the nature of your work. Don't worry, I will be fine at home. Now that your sister is with me, I am not lonely. But I still have one thing to say. You are already in your twenties. In two or three years, you will celebrate your thirtieth birthday. When can you bring me a daughter-in-law? Others at my age are already grandmothers, but I have no chance of becoming a mother-in-law!"
At this point, the two brothers lowered their heads in silence. There was nothing they could do. The nature of their work did not allow them to have time to find girlfriends outside, and the ones in the company did not attract them, so they did not want to settle for the ones they did not like, which was why they kept putting it off!
"Mom and Dad, well, it's getting late. I'm going to bed first!"
Nan Ye also said anxiously, "Me too...!"
The two brothers fled back to their yard.
On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the atmosphere of the New Year is already very strong in the streets and alleys outside. Shops are holding promotions and activities, and customers buying New Year's goods can be seen everywhere.
The Nan family sat at the dining table and had breakfast. The breakfast was very rich, including millet porridge, soy milk, fried dough sticks, crab roe buns, wonton noodles and fried dumplings. It was the first time for Nan Zhaozhao, a little country bumpkin, to see so many kinds of breakfast at home. He was so happy that he didn't know which one to start with.
"Xiaobao, Dad wants to ask you something. What grade are you in now?" Nan Chen asked as he helped Nan Zhaozhao peel crab roe buns. His tone was natural and didn't sound abrupt at all.
But Nan Zhaozhao paused because she didn't understand what Nan Chen meant. Nan Huai helped to explain, "Oh, little sister, Dad is asking you, are you in school? What grade are you in?"
Nan Zhaozhao understood, but she did not answer immediately. Instead, she wondered whether she should tell the truth to her parents and two brothers. If she lied, she would have to tell thousands of lies in the future to cover up the previous lies. The most important thing was that she didn't want to. Her parents and brothers were so sincere to her, how could she bear to deceive them!
