The trip to Myanmar has been scheduled, but what's in front of Lin Luo Ran now is the matter of adopting a little boy and persuading his parents to move.
Xiao Zhengtai's external and internal injuries have healed, and there is no reason for him to continue occupying a hospital bed, so adoption is imminent.
Before that, Lin Luoran first paid 200 million to buy Master Jia's house. At that time, the property was transferred, and now Lin Luoran became the owner of the house. The feeling of owning a luxurious mansion still felt a bit unreal to Lin Luoran.
Some furniture was added, bedding was changed, and after a thorough cleaning, the house that had been converted from Jia's residence to Lin's residence was ready for immediate occupancy.
What made Lin Luoran rather regretful was that the money was paid directly to Wang Jie, and before Master Jia left, Lin Luoran didn't even have a chance to see him off. The master and apprentice had known each other for less than a month, and it would be an exaggeration to say that their relationship was deep. They were both relatively satisfied, and Lin Luoran only learned the basic breathing techniques and Tai Chi fist principles, without learning Master Jia's other lethal external skills.
I'm afraid it will be a long time before I have the chance to see Master Jia again. To say something unlucky, Lin Luoran always felt that Master Jia was arranging things for after his death.
Lin Luoran was well aware of his own weight, and Master Jia's mansion, with its connection to the Wang family, knew how to breathe in and out; if he really encountered trouble, it would definitely not be something that Lin Luoran could solve now.
Lin Luo Ran could only turn his helplessness into motivation for cultivation, putting in 120% of his effort to absorb the spiritual energy and attempt to refine it.
One day, she will no longer be like today, powerless in the face of the fate of those around her, one day...
"Little friend, do you still remember your name?" Officer Li leaned down and asked softly the boy who was playing with his fingers, although he knew he didn't speak, still holding onto a glimmer of hope that he could say out his own name.
The little boy's originally expressionless face seemed to have seen some kind of monster, and when Lieutenant Li asked him his name, his face was filled with a terrified and flustered expression.
"I have no name, no name... Don't hit me, don't hit me... Waaahhh..."
He let out a terrified wail, "Don't hit me" were the four words he often said after being rescued, and apart from this, he had no reaction to any other questions.
Lin Luoran hugged him and patted his back gently: "Good boy, follow sister home. From now on, you'll be my little brother, okay? I promise, no one will hit you again."
The little boy leaned into Lin Luo's arms and finally felt a hint of warmth in the winter.
Bao Jia covered up the moistness in her eyes with a careless tone: "It's time to bring Uncle and Auntie to R City, the adoption procedures can only be done by them in person. Anyway, you've already bought a house, isn't it good for the whole family to live together?"
Officer Li nodded: "We also need to give him a name, otherwise he can't be registered."
Lin Luoran thought for a moment, then tried to ask the little boy: "We met you in winter, my sister's generation has a character ' Luo' in their names, so why don't we call you Lin Luodong?"
I thought there would be no response, but unexpectedly the little boy blinked his eyelashes and nodded slowly!
Not to mention Lin Luoran, but also Bao Jia and Lieutenant Li were overjoyed.
Little boy, no, now he should be called Lin Luodong. He has started to respond to the outside world and has a new hope of accepting the world again. How can this not make people happy?
Lin Luo Ran and Bao Jia went to the mall together to buy a lot of children's clothing for Little Luo Dong, dressing him up neatly before taking him back to their hometown.
The matter of adopting Luo Dong, Lin Luo Ran had already discussed it with her parents on the phone early in the morning. After learning about their daughter's current income and knowing that raising one more person would be no problem at all, Lin Dad and Lin Mom were kind-hearted people to begin with, so they easily agreed.
However, Lin's mother still had some doubts about the whole family moving to R City and hadn't agreed yet. Today, Lin Luoran took Xiaolu back home, one reason was to go through the necessary procedures for adoption, and also to persuade her parents to move to R City.
The Lin family was originally an outsider, and the people of Li's village had always been somewhat bullying and afraid of weakness. Except for Li Erniang's family, there were not many who really regarded the Lin family as villagers. The neighborhood relationship was so loose and ordinary, and there was also a Li Anping family in the same village, Lin Luoran didn't want his parents to stay in Li's village at all.
Lin Luoran drove her car and bought a large package of gifts, including high-end tobacco and liquor as well as health products, all of which were intended for Li Ershen's family.
Today was not as lucky as last time, and it rained in my hometown. The last section of the road was bumpy, and if the car's chassis wasn't high, we would have stalled several times on the road. Lin Luo turned his head to look at Little Luodong sitting in the passenger seat, who was wearing new clothes and shoes, had gained some weight this month, with eyes as clear and shy as a deer, her mouth tightly pursed, looking lovely and delicate, even more beautiful than most girls.
Such a lovely child, Lin Dad and Lin Mom will definitely like it. Lin Luoran sighed in her heart for a while, then taught Luo Dong to call people, Little Luo Dong blinked his eyes and nodded heavily.
Lin Luoran couldn't help but smile. Since she gave Xiao Ludong a new name, he had changed from being dependent to obedient - only listening to her words. Including Baojia and Officer Li who saved him together, Xiao Ludong didn't care about them either, which made Baojia cry out loudly for a long time, saying it was unfair.
Lin Luo Ran arrived home, the rain was still falling, and the yard was filled with muddy water. Lin's mother came out carrying a bowl of rice and saw her daughter, hurriedly calling out to Lin's father: "Quickly come out, our daughter is back!"
Also called out to his daughter and asked if she had eaten and if driving was tiring.
Lin Luoran hastily called out to Er Lao, telling him not to rush, saying he had eaten and was just returning. At the same time, he opened the car door and beckoned inside: "Luo Dong, hurry up and get down, we're home."
Lin Luo Dong wore a pair of small military boots, and it was okay to trample on the muddy ground. Seeing that the person standing in front of him was a middle-aged woman, he opened his mouth and called out "Lin Mama". When Lin Papa came out of the house, he called out "Lin Baba" again, with a timid face and still being polite.
Lin's mother was holding a bowl and had forgotten to eat her rice, but that soft and timid "Lin Mama" made her heart feel sour. She wanted to touch Luo Dong's head, but then remembered that her hands were all cracked and rough, afraid of hurting the child, so she smiled awkwardly and said: "This is the kid, he really looks good."
Lin Luo Ran nodded: "I've given him a name, following our surname Lin, called Luo Dong, what do you think, Mom?"
Lin's father put down his bowl and shouted: "It's so cold outside, why don't you come inside to talk!"
As he spoke, Lin Luo was taken aback and before he knew it, he had scooped up Luo Dong and took a glance: "Lin Luo Dong, this name is great! Old Lin has finally gained a son in his old age. Now that I have two sons, I can proudly face our ancestors, haha!"
Lin's father was always taciturn, and Lin Luo Ran rarely saw him so cheerful. He had put down his worries that Lin's parents might not accept Luo Dong, but instead looked at little Luo Dong with some concern, fearing he would resist such contact.
But Lin Luo Dong tilted his head and looked at the beard on Lin Dad's chin for a while, not knowing if it was the cold winter wind that made him shrink his neck into Lin Dad's arms.
Lin Luo's lips curled up into a smile, and it seemed that Luo Dong did indeed have a connection with their family.
