Atypical Heroine - Chapter 90
Zuo Nanjin is not over 30 years old, so the adoption procedure is more troublesome than expected.
On the plane tomorrow, she won’t have time to stay and get these odds and ends.
But her financial resources are not decorations.
In addition to paying the necessary adoption fees to the welfare organization, we also wrote a check in the name of the individual to make a large donation. With the help of friends and the principal here, special affairs were handled, and adoption became very simple.
This delay on the way, it is estimated that it will be late at night in S City.
Zuo Nanjin made a few calls, then woke up Zuo Xiyao, who was sleeping in the car, and took him to the school cafeteria to have a meal first.
The food in the cafeteria is simple, and Zuo Xiyao eats reluctantly.
After she heard that Zuo Nanjin was going to adopt Ji Yu, she was not very friendly to her, and just ignored her at first.
Later, seeing that she was unaffected, she poked her again and started talking.
It speaks English.
She deliberately speaks very fast, and it is not clear and coherent American pronunciation, it is not that people who have English since elementary school like her will not understand what she is saying.
Ji Yu looked innocent “what did you say”
“”
Zuo Xiyao lowered her head and played with her fingers in silence for a few seconds, with a smile on her face, but her tone was not friendly, “You have this level of English, and you still want to go abroad with my aunt”
“Zuo Xiyao.”
Zuo Nanjin called out her full name in a casual manner, Zuo Xiyao shrank her neck, and suddenly became quiet. He lowered his head and continued to play with his fingers.
Zuo Nanjin didn’t speak.
She was reminded by her.
Because many of the children of my friends have gone abroad since childhood, Zuo Nanjin forgot about the language issue for a while.
Not everyone starts kindergarten to an international school.
“It’s okay, I’m not going tomorrow,” Zuo Nanjin looked at Ji Yu who seemed a little uneasy on his face, hugged her and comforted her, “English is not difficult, we just learn it slowly.”
Ji Yu’s eyes flashed, and he nodded obediently, “Yeah.”
English
When we drove back to S City, it was already late at night.
Zuo Nanjin first sent Zuo Xiyao home to her brother, then stood in front of the car, made a two-hour phone call, and finished the meeting.
The day is not over yet.
In a few hours, she will be rushing to the airport again.
“Give me the water, it’s on the right,” Zuo Nanjin got into the car, tilted his head to look at the location of the bottle of mineral water, and explained to Ji Yu, “I’m going to work tomorrow, so I’ll take you to my parents for the time being. Home, they’ll take care of you.”
Zuo Nanjin lowered his head and fastened his seat belt.
Take the water from her.
She needs to apply for her passport and visa, and she has to find a reliable teacher for short-term and effective oral English tutoring for Zuo Nanjin, who has been working abroad all the year round. This aspect is not as good as her leader’s father’s personal connections.
So it’s all entrusted to the family.
“Are you afraid?” Zuo Nanjin raised his eyebrows and asked Ji Yu who looked at the calm.
When she wanted to open the water, she found that the bottle cap had been unscrewed.
This child is only ten years old, yet he can be so careful and caring.
“What am I afraid of?”
Ji Yu raised his lips and smiled, and his soft and waxy voice was as sweet as a dimple, “My sister’s parents, I haven’t met them yet, but I think I like them very much.”
“Little sycophants.” Zuo Nanjin reached out and pinched her cheeks, smiling and bending her eyes.
She was usually so withdrawn and lonely at school, but this little girl was eloquent and sweet in front of her.
She is also a character who clearly has no feelings for children before, but she loves her inexplicably.
Like a past life coincidence.
Ji Yu pulled her hand down and rubbed her cheek against the back of her hand. pet-like.
Smiling until his eyes were crescent-shaped, he said seriously and innocently, “I know that my sister is busy, I don’t need you to take care of me, just take a little time and care about me occasionally.”
“I grew up quickly.”
Zuo Nanjin chuckled, noncommittal to her words, restarted the car, and asked, “What are you doing in a hurry to grow up?”
Ji Yu said without hesitation, “I can take care of my sister when I grow up.”
The tone is very natural.
“”
Zuo Nanjin glanced at her, looking at her childish and clear eyes, there was an indescribable feeling in her heart, as if she suddenly understood the feeling of mother’s love.
She paused complicatedly and said, “You can call me auntie in the future.”
Ji Yu “”
“Why, are you not happy?”
Zuo Nanjin couldn’t help but laugh when she saw that she didn’t say a word for a long time.
Ji Yu’s long eyelashes blinked, with obvious reluctance on his face, and he muttered, “I only heard that my aunt wanted to be called an elder sister, but I never heard that my elder sister was going to be called an aunt.”
“”
The car turns a corner.
When Zuo Nanjin stopped at the intersection and waited for the red light, he calculated the age gap between them and said with a sigh, “I’m sixteen years older than you, I should be called Auntie, I was wrong before.”
Ji Yu was silent for a long time and whispered, “I don’t think it’s wrong.”
“The teacher said that you have to know what’s wrong before you can correct it.”
“So I don’t have to change it.”
Zuo Nanjin was persuaded by her well-founded logic, and silently raised his lips and smiled. Say nothing more.
“”
Zuo Nanjin called his father about entrusting Ji Yu to his family.
When she got home, her father hadn’t had time to figure out how to tell Zuo’s mother.
“Go to bed early.”
Zuo’s mother was about to go to sleep and spoke to Zuo’s father who was in the study. When he turned to leave, he was called.
“Hey, don’t sleep yet, Nannan will come back later.”
“Why did she come back here so late?” Zuo’s mother frowned, with a bit of disgust in her voice, but she was full of concern, “Why did you tell me that I just got off the plane? Did she eat?”
“”
Left Dad paused for a while, only to say, “You’re not busy.”
“What’s not busy, come back in the evening, don’t prepare food for the children”
Zuo’s mother was about to go to the kitchen when she heard the sound of the key opening the door and hurriedly greeted her, “Hey, wouldn’t it be a jet lag? It’s a big night to come home and cause trouble. If you don’t even get a special product, I’ll blast you out.”
Zuo Nanjin just opened the door and heard the last sentence.
“specialty”
“I brought back a local.”
left mother “”
The left father who quickly followed out with a teacup, “sit first, sit first.”
After listening to Zuo Nanjin’s words, Zuo’s mother twitched her temples, “You don’t even say hello to me in advance for such a big thing.”
Zuo Nanjin “Dad.”
The left father quickly said, “Forget it, what are you talking about when the children are brought back.”
Left father unscrewed the cup and sipped the tea leaves without a trace while drinking tea.
He picked up a book in his hand and turned it over to read two pages, “Hurry up and take the children to recognize their home and tidy up the room, it’s getting late. I’ll talk about it tomorrow morning.”
The words say so.
The night after Ji Yu was settled, Zuo Nanjin went to the airport.
“”
Zuo Nanjin came back more than a month later.
She took the key to open the door, saw Dad’s slippers at the entrance, and knew that he was not at home.
“I am back.”
Zuo Nanjin turned around and went to the kitchen to find her mother.
She saw a beautiful fruit plate that had just been cut in half. She was thirsty, so she picked up a toothpick and inserted a piece of cantaloupe.
Zuo mother knocked off her hand.
“There is fruit in the refrigerator. You have to eat it and get it yourself. This is for children.”
After she cut the last fruit, she cut the flesh of the watermelon into almost squares with a long and thin fruit knife and used it to transfer it to a plate.
“It’s so pretty that I can bring it to the restaurant, Mom.”
Zuo Nanjin raised his eyebrows while eating the cantaloupe, “Where are the children?”
“The child is going to school, the child. You can’t throw it away for me.”
“What to go to school”
“Your father has set up a junior high school for her to study directly. Although she has found a tutor to teach her English, she still needs to take a few ordinary courses with foreign teachers to get used to it.”
“Can she keep up with junior high school?”
Zuo mother hummed, “Can you keep up?”
During the half-month ceremony, they not only invited a tutor to help her study one-on-one, but in her spare time, Zuo’s mother insisted on speaking with Ji Yu in English as much as possible. She was originally an English teacher.
I didn’t want her to be able to answer fluently, I just wanted her to be in such a context.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yu would be able to chat with her in English soon.
Zuo mother talked, washed her hands, and walked out with a fruit plate.
She took out all the practice papers and vocabulary books that Ji Yu had written since she came here, and kept praising Ji Yu and said, “I have taught for decades, and I have only met a few children as smart as her. see through”
There was a sound of a door opening at the entrance.
Zuo’s mother paused, just ignored Zuo Nanjin, turned around to meet her, “come back”
His tone was softer than before.
“Mmmm,” Ji Yu said in a tone that couldn’t wait to share, as he crouched down to change his shoes, “Today, the teacher praised my English improvement and said whether there is a fairy who casts magic beside my bed every night, I said yes.”
She looked up, her tone as sweet as the dimples on her cheeks, “Auntie is not a fairy.”
“Hey, my little darling”
Zuo Nanjin looked at the old lady with a smile on her face, so bright that she didn’t even care about the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
“”
Ji Yu saw her after changing his shoes, the smile on his lips froze, paused for a few seconds, and then trotted over to hug her without saying a word.
“Is it hard to study”
The moment she rushed over, Zuo Nanjin’s heart was gently bumped, and the hard work of flying for more than ten hours was nothing.
“It’s not hard,” Ji Yu buried his face in her arms, “I got the first place in the exam this time.”
“Is that great?”
Zuo Nanjin was dumbfounded, then raised his lips and smiled and said, “Well, very good, it’s my own.”
Ji Yu “”
She raised her face, her expression a little helpless.
It’s like saying, well, have fun with it.
Zuo Nanjin looked at her baby fat little face and wanted to stretch out her hand to squeeze it, with a smile, “What’s the matter, you will suffer, be my daughter.”
Her mother pulled her away from the side, “Okay, what’s going on in your place, has the school been chosen, and are you taking care of the little one by yourself?”
good boy
Zuo Nanjin completed the admission procedures for her, but the private primary school began to have Christmas leave in early December. The principal suggested that she should be two days later and simply wait for the holiday to end before enrolling.
So for more than a month, Zuo Nanjin needed to take care of children while working.
She enrolled Ji Yu in a piano class.
They were delivered in the morning and picked up in the evening. They had three meals a day in the restaurant.
Zuo Nanjin realized the problem later.
Even in a high-end restaurant, if you eat for two months in a row, your natural Chinese stomach will not be able to bear it.
Although Ji Yu didn’t show it, his appetite gradually decreased, and his slightly dull eyes when he saw the steak. It made Zuo Nanjin realize that something was wrong.
“”
Zuo Nanjin is a person who is used to eating fast food and has no appetite. It is normal to only eat sandwiches for half a month under high-intensity work.
But she now has a little girl by her side.
The guilt of child abuse brought her home for the first time in her life with two bags of raw meat and vegetables.
Ji Yu saw that she was carrying something in her hand, and thought she was back with some fast food. When he stepped forward to take it, he glanced in, “Let’s eat raw food today.” The public account YuriAcgn
