Chapter 102

I want to take your last name.

Fate is such a mysterious thing.

For example, Qi Jiu's birthday and Ren Zhaoyuan and Tan Zheng first met on the same day. For example, Qi Jiu, who was "not close to people" and "bad character", liked and loved Ren Zhaoyuan by the dean. Another example was Tan Zheng. Because some similar scenes felt familiar to Qi Jiu.

There are always many surprises, breaking the original plan and changing the original trajectory.

But Qi Jiu's "accident" was easy for the two of them to accept.

It seems that compared to the ignorant one-year-old child, Qi Jiu, who actively wanted to be adopted by them, was easier and less labor-intensive to get along with.

The procedures were completed quickly, several signatures and fingerprints, photo recordings, and the adoption process of the orphanage was meticulous and mature. Qi Jiuxiang understood it, and the excited expression on his face became more obvious the further back he went.

It wasn't until Ren Zhaoyuan led him to the car and opened the door for him that Qi Jiu finally showed a different expression and turned to look at the orphanage.

In two or three seconds, Qi Jiu neatly climbed into the back seat of the car.

Ren Zhaoyuan sat with him in the back row, while Tan Zheng drove, thinking that it was time to add a new car.

Choose an extended model with the rear seats facing each other, and the driver can just sit next to Ren Zhaoyuan while driving, without delaying the company.

The family made some preparations for adopting a child, but didn't expect to adopt Qi Jiu, a seven-year-old, and the preparations were not thorough.

No more purchases were made, and the three of them went to the mall together after having lunch outside.

It's not too long before you get to know each other, and you'll get to know each other faster by doing more things together.

I went to a children's clothing store of a well-known brand first. Ren Zhaoyuan asked Qi Jiu what color he liked, Qi Jiu said blue, and Ren Zhaoyuan led him to the side with the shopping guide.

"You can say anything you like, is it this blue?"

Qi Jiu has never been to such a large shopping mall. Countless lights make the inside of the mall brighter than the outside, the floor tiles are clean and reflective, and the price on the clothes tag needs him to start from the single digits in his heart. One can only be determined by counting them one by one.

"dad.."

Ren Zhaoyuan looked down at him: "What's wrong?"

Qi Jiu blinked, revealing an unnatural restraint. Ren Zhaoyuan squatted down in front of him and asked him again, "What's wrong?"

Tan Zheng was right behind Ren Zhaoyuan and didn't say anything.

Although Qi Jiu was a thin seven-year-old child, and his height was over one meter, Ren Zhaoyuan had to raise his head slightly when he squatted down to look at him.

When he looked at Qi Jiu like this, he always seemed extremely patient. The white light fell on the top of his head and merged with the color of his hair, showing a circle of warm light, which made it extra soft.

Qi Jiu put a hand close to Ren Zhaoyuan's ear and said something, Ren Zhaoyuan smiled lightly and turned to look at Tan Zheng.

Only then did Tan Zheng step forward: "What's wrong?"

Ren Zhaoyuan touched the top of Qi Jiu's hair and pointed at Tan Zheng: "Your father has a card for this mall, and the money in it will be wasted if you don't spend it. If you don't believe me, ask."

Qi Jiu looked up at Tan Zheng, and the other hand, which was not holding Ren Zhaoyuan, hung down beside him and rubbed the corner of his clothes.

Tan Zheng's facial features are deeper, he doesn't laugh too much, and he has the aura of an integrated superior, which is not as close to Ren Zhaoyuan. Qi Jiu could sense his kindness towards him, but the sense of coercion he felt when facing him could not go away.

Qi Jiu will take the initiative to make good friends with Ren Zhaoyuan, will take the initiative to hug him, will whisper in his ear, but dare not do anything to Tan Zheng.

His only expression of affection towards Tan Zheng was to whisper "Thank you Dad" when Tan Zheng put the poured teacup in front of him just after dinner.

Ren Zhaoyuan intended to let them communicate more, and watched from the side after he finished speaking. Tan Zheng heard the words and looked at Qi Jiu. He had already understood Qi Jiu's concerns from Ren Zhaoyuan's words and did not answer directly.

Qi Jiu hesitated for a while, then looked up at Tan Zheng again, and whispered to him what he had just said to Ren Zhaoyuan: "Dad, the clothes here are too expensive."

S City Welfare Institute has perfect facilities in all aspects and various courses. Qi Jiu has studied prices in class.

But in the example about clothes that the teacher gave, the price of a shirt is 100 yuan, and the price of a coat is 200 yuan—the tags of the clothes he just saw were all four or five digits, and the beginning The numbers are getting bigger and bigger.

After he finished speaking, Tan Zheng replied following what Ren Zhaoyuan just said: "I have the card here, so I don't need to pay extra."

Qi Jiu looked up at Tan Zheng and then looked back at Ren Zhaoyuan, raised his hand and scratched his ears.

"Choose it and take whatever you like," Tan Zheng said. "The money in the card can only be bought here. Help me spend more, so as not to waste it."

Qi Jiu tried on a blue sports suit, and Tan Zheng nodded: "I'm more energetic."

Not to mention the quality and style, just the right size and bright colors look a lot more energetic when worn on the body.

Ren Zhaoyuan also nodded: "Is there anything else you like?"

Qi Jiu tried another set of black and white, white short-sleeved, black and white striped jacket and trousers.

Ren Zhaoyuan helped him choose two more formal suits, and then asked him to try other Qi Jiu and refused.

It was enough to wear for the time being, but Ren Zhaoyuan didn't insist any longer. After checking out, he left his address and the three of them left to go shopping elsewhere.

Tan Zheng saw a small indoor playground and asked Qi Jiu if he wanted to play. Qi Jiu shook his head and said he didn't want to go.

It's normal to not let go, but Tan Zheng is a little regretful. He really wants to experience the feeling of throwing the child into the playground and chatting with Ren Zhaoyuan outside while waiting.

When they were together in private, Tan Zheng never concealed anything, and even showed his emotions habitually. Ren Zhaoyuan guessed what he was thinking at a glance, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up, and he smiled when he spoke.

"Xiao Jiu, are you playing with building blocks?"

There are many Lego pieces put together on the huge table, and there are staff specializing in teaching and guiding next to it.

Qi Jiu's eyes followed the small train on the colored track and went back, obviously very interested. However, after Ren Zhaoyuan waited for a while, Qi Jiu took the initiative to answer that "I want to play" before patting his head encouragingly, and walked back to that side with Tan Zheng.

The staff taught Qi Jiu to fight the train, while Ren Zhaoyuan and Tan Zheng sat in their spare seats and watched.

There was a drawing in front of him, Ren Zhaoyuan took it over and unfolded it, and asked Tan Zheng, "Is this a fox or a cat?"

Tan Zheng didn't see it either. He turned over the drawing and saw the original drawing in the corner on the back before saying with certainty, "Fox."

"I feel like a cat."

Tan Zheng changed his words neatly: "That's the cat."

Ren Zhaoyuan chuckled lightly, and scribbled together scattered pieces of Lego against the blueprints. Soon Tan Zheng joined in, and created an animal that looked neither like a fox nor a cat.

"Do you think what we spelled is not quite like the drawing?"

Tan Zheng looked at it for a few seconds: "Indeed."

Ren Zhaoyuan thought he was going to say the pattern was for reference only, but he couldn't help laughing after hearing him solemnly admit that he was briefly stunned.

The two of them couldn't fight together as well as the children, but Tan Zheng didn't dislike it. He grabbed the head of a cat or a fox with his big hand and picked it up: "Let's pretend we are..."

The latter half of the sentence spread out as its body got stuck. Tan Zheng held the remaining half in his hand and looked at Ren Zhaoyuan with a blank expression. Ren Zhaoyuan couldn't hold back this time.

"Don't bring this," Ren Zhaoyuan said with a smile, "buy a few new sets to bring back, and Xiaojiu will pick the one she likes."

Qi Jiu was already addicted, and hesitated at a price that was far higher than his understanding of building blocks.

Before Qi Jiu hesitated to come up with the result, Tan Zheng first said to Ren Zhaoyuan, "I want that plane."

The corners of Ren Zhaoyuan's lips raised unconsciously: "I want a cruise ship, where's Xiao Jiu?"

Qi Jiu Gao happily chose a big castle.

The three of them played outside all afternoon and went home after dinner. Ren Zhaoyuan brought Qi Jiu to get acquainted with the room, and Tan Zheng called the houses on both sides.

Mother Tan heard from him that he had adopted a seven-year-old boy and was worried that he would not be able to get close to him. He was relieved when Tan Zheng said that he was in a relationship, and then asked, "Is your name Qi Jiu?"

"right."

"It's too simple."

"Zhaoyuan and I will go through the household registration procedures for him tomorrow, and we will ask him if he wants to change it. If he doesn't want to change, just keep calling this. It's simple and nothing."

Mother Tan had quietly discussed with Father Tan who should have a child's surname, but now she doesn't need to think about it, she just promised to say yes, and let her see the video when she becomes familiar with it.

Qi Jiu is already seven years old, and he must have gotten used to being called by his name for a few years. Ren Zhaoyuan and Tan Zheng did not plan to change his name. He didn't expect that when Ren Zhaoyuan just mentioned the household registration matter, Qi Jiu asked himself first after the surprise that he couldn't hide: " Can I change my name when I open a new account?"

"Okay," Ren Zhaoyuan asked him, "what do you want to change?"

Qi Jiu shook his head: "I don't know, can Dad get it for me? I want to take your last name."

Ren Zhaoyuan guessed that Qi Jiu's former family parents treated him badly, but he didn't reveal it, only said: "The name is a big deal, we will help you get one, but if you think it doesn't sound good, let us know. You can change it at any time before you register."

Qi Jiu nodded and agreed.

At the moment, the two of them couldn't think of a suitable name, and they chatted after Qi Jiu slept back to the master bedroom at night.

"Let him be your surname Ren, and I'll pick the name, half of us."

It sounded like he already had an idea, Ren Zhaoyuan asked first, "What do you want to take?"

Tan Zheng squeezed his hand and wrote on the back of his hand with his fingertips.

The characters are very simple, just six strokes.

"garrison."

guard guard.

People don't have to ask for too much in this life, keep their hearts and what they already have enough.

Ren Zhaoyuan agreed and said yes, and then said: "If you want him to have my surname, I will also want him to have your surname, then we will have one person, one vote. The surname is not only about the two of us, the elders on my side don't need it. Thinking about it, he should be happy to have your surnamed parents, so two to one, or the surname Tan is better."

His words were reasonable and well-founded, and Tan Zheng didn't even bother to refute it, he just hugged Ren Zhaoyuan unreasonably: "I just want him to share your surname."

"I understand what you think, but I don't care what his surname is," Ren Zhaoyuan said, sticking his face to the side, "We brought him back, he is our child, it doesn't matter what his surname is, it doesn't have to be Ren. It means it's my child, you don't need to care about that."

Tan Zheng said a long time ago that he wanted to give Ren Zhaoyuan a home.

Whether it was spoken or not mentioned later, he never forgot it.

He knew that whatever surname meant nothing, but he hoped that the child could be closer to Ren Zhaoyuan.

No matter the name or the inside.

In this family, he hopes that Ren Zhaoyuan will always be the one who is loved more.

It was rare for the two to have a stalemate. In the end, Tan Zheng said, "I'll give him a name, listen to him, and let him choose by himself tomorrow."

This sentence makes more sense than any sentence, and Ren Zhaoyuan agreed.

Tan Zheng was also satisfied.

He thought that if Qi Jiu liked Ren Zhaoyuan, he would definitely be willing to take the surname of Ren Zhaoyuan, but he didn't expect to get a sentence from Qi Jiu the next day, "I leave it to my father."

Ren Zhaoyuan made a final decision and added a new page to the account book, with a brand new name printed in the name column.
