Chapter 280: Fertilizing the Saplings
Little Jie Di was already one year old and her appetite had increased a lot. The Yan family was reluctant to feed her egg custard... Third Aunt lived frugally every day... Her breast milk was not enough to feed her one-year-old daughter.
Yan Bugui, who was originally cheerful, suddenly looked depressed...
"This...try it with some noodle soup!"
The third aunt frowned and said, "I've tried it before, noodle soup is not nutritious. Why don't we buy some eggs for our daughter to eat? At worst, I can be more diligent and make more matchboxes... Banggeng has already been weaned and fed egg custard as a staple food."
Yan Bugui sighed for a while, but did not agree to his wife.
Three sons grew up without eating eggs, but a girl has to eat eggs.
But Yan Bugui didn't consider his wife's health.
When the three boys came, Auntie was still in good health and in her prime, so it wasn’t a problem for her to raise the children… But now she is already forty, and this is her fourth child… So the granary is running dry.
……
Lin Chen, who was about to leave from the alley entrance, suddenly paused after hearing the couple's conversation...
"What a stingy teacher Yan is..."
Lin Chen turned around and confirmed Xiao Jie Di's appearance again, then his brain started working. How can he raise a little girl to be fat and white, but also prevent Old Man Yan from taking advantage of her...
The third aunt wanted to try harder, after all, she really loved her daughter. In her heart, this girl was more precious than her son... Both the Yi family and the Jia family had eggs to feed their children.
"Old Yan, I beg you for this once... It's all my fault that I don't have enough milk..."
Just as the third aunt was shedding tears, there was a knock on the Yan family's door...
Yan Bugui stood up to open the door, and the third aunt hurriedly wiped away her tears.
"Who?"
"Old Yan, open the door, it's me!"
When Yan Bugui heard Lin Chen's voice, he hurriedly opened the door...
"Brother Lin, you are back in the hospital, right? Why is there anything else..."
……
After Lin Chen entered the room, he looked at the three aunts who were forcing a smile.
"Brother Lin, please sit down and let Old Yan pour you some water. The girl is a bit noisy, and I can't spare the time to entertain you. Please don't be offended..."
Lin Chen looked at the other party and waved his hand: "Don't bother, I'm not thirsty. I suddenly thought of something to discuss with you. Director Bai wants to adopt Xiao Jie Di as his goddaughter, and asked me to help ask if you agree?"
The third aunt thought she had heard it wrong and she looked at her man in shock.
Now Yan Bugui was also shocked. The director actually wanted to adopt his own girl as his goddaughter?
"I... no... Brother Lin, you are kidding us!"
Lin Chen didn't even look at Yan Bugui. Now he wanted to kick him in his heart... He was too stingy.
"Sister-in-law, if you agree to this, then it's settled. You need to understand one thing clearly. Director Bai said that she only likes girls, not boys. She only recognizes Jie Di as her goddaughter, and she has nothing to do with your son..."
Yan Bugui hurried forward and excitedly pulled Lin Chen's arm.
"We agree, we agree! This is a blessing for Jie Di. Thank you, Brother Lin, for helping to pass on the message."
Lin Chen pulled his arm back impatiently, then took Xiao Jie Di from the third aunt.
"Poor little thing, you must be starving! Your godmother will send you milk powder tomorrow... Just hold on for one more night."
Little Jie Di seemed to understand what Lin Chen said, she was crying just now. As soon as Lin Chen hugged her, she immediately smiled, and her two little paws stretched out to touch Lin Chen's cheek.
Lin Chen looked at her two little white teeth that showed when she smiled and shook them with satisfaction.
"You are so good. With the milk powder you have to drink, you will grow up quickly..."
When the three aunts heard Lin Chen say that Bai Ling would send milk powder tomorrow, they couldn't stop crying with excitement.
She was afraid that Lin Chen would laugh at her and quickly turned around and started sobbing...
"Brother Lin, don't worry. This is done. My Yan family is grateful to you. From now on, I will do whatever you say."
Lin Chen then looked at him straight in the eye: "Come on, you're so stingy every day. It makes me angry just looking at you... Let me make it clear that Director Bai is not a fool. You know how expensive the milk powder is. It's for my goddaughter. If you dare to withhold it, I'll be angry and deny it... The consequences will be serious."
Lin Chen has to give this stingy guy a lesson.
The third aunt turned around and hurriedly assured: "Brother Lin, please tell Sister Bai Ling that I will definitely feed Jie Di all the food and won't let the three boys steal it."
Only then did Lin Chen return the little guy to the third aunt.
"As long as you can promise it, you can announce it when my son's full moon banquet is held! We can hold it together, and everyone will be there."
"Okay, okay, I'll follow Brother Lin's arrangements."
When little Jie Di saw that it was her mother holding the baby, she looked at Lin Chen with her big eyes and stretched out her hands to ask for a hug.
Lin Chen waved to the little guy: "Uncle is leaving, I will hug you when I have time."
The excited Yan Bugui saw Lin Chen out the door again...
The third aunt looked at her daughter and started laughing again, her tears still shed.
"Girl, you are blessed. Your godmother is a senior official. She and Qin Huairu from the Lin family are sworn sisters. You will be blessed in the future! When you grow up, don't forget the kindness of the Lin family. Your father almost didn't want you."
……
After Lin Chen returned to Xiajia Hutong, he first looked at Qin Huairu and told her about asking Bai Ling to adopt Xiao Jie Di as her goddaughter.
Qin Huairu understood and smiled: "Leave it to me! I will discuss it with Sister Bai Ling... This is not a small matter, we don't need that. As long as our family does not lose money... We can support a little Zheng Juan, and it doesn't matter if we give Jie Di a bite to eat."
Lin Chen held her hand and smiled: "You will know later that I never lose money. Have a good rest at night, and leave the little one to Aunt Wang and the others."
Qin Huairu nodded happily, and Lin Chen took her into his arms and hugged her.
"Brother Lin Chen, there is food now! Do you want to try it?"
Lin Chen had already discovered this when he scanned Qin Huairu's physical condition, but he was not interested now. The food for the firstborn was really not tasty...
……
The next morning, Bai Ling came to see Qin Huairu and the child...
Qin Huairu then explained to Bai Ling in a tactful way the matter of adopting Xiao Jie Di as her goddaughter...
Bai Ling understood what Qin Huairu meant and laughed: "I found out that I was plotted against by this big bad guy. I fell into his trap step by step after I met him. Now he is even adopting a daughter under my name..."
"Sister Bai Ling, in 20 years we will be old and have grandchildren... But Brother Lin Chen will be in his prime then, so we can just fertilize the young trees now!"
Bai Ling patted Qin Huairu's hand and said, "Just protect him and speak for him! You paved the way for him for things that happened more than a decade later. No wonder everyone in the hospital says that you are a lucky charm for your husband. I'll drive back and deliver some milk powder later..."
Qin Huairu smiled and said: "Brother Lin Chen has made the arrangements. No need to give the others to the Yan family. Just take care of Xiao Jie Di..."
"Okay, okay, I'll remember to only send milk powder, okay?"
At this time, Liang Ladi and others came in, and Qin Huairu and Bai Ling also ended the topic.
Bai Ling and Qin Huairu didn't want everyone to know about this, so it was enough for only the two of them to know about it.
