"Why am I always the youngest?" Zhu Yanyi felt her little heart hurt again. It seemed every time they went out, she had very few chances to be the older sister.
Zhu Yanli spoke from the side, "It’s okay. You can still be a big sister. Look, you are the big sister to Nan Hong and Shi Yun. Also, our Mama is going to have a baby brother soon. Then you will be a big sister too."
Zhu Yanyi listened and thought it made sense. "Okay. Even if there are fewer people, if we count it this way, I am not the smallest anymore." Her tone sounded like she was comforting herself.
"Ani really wants to be a big sister?" Cheng Baokun asked with a curious smile.
Zhu Yanyi looked very serious. "Being a sister means I am growing up." After all, she was only five years old now. Saying childish things was the most natural thing to do.
Cheng Baokun laughed loudly. "Yes, yes. Once you are a sister, you will grow up." She truly liked Zhu Yanyi. She was cute, pure, and well-behaved. She looked at her own young son eating cotton candy and felt speechless. It seemed daughters were more caring. It was a pity she didn’t have a daughter. Her eyes turned, and she seemed to have an idea. "Shun Yao, I want to discuss something with you."
Seeing Cheng Baokun like this, Zhu Shun Yao felt something might happen. He spoke softly, "Factory Director, what is it?"
"I want to adopt your Ani as my goddaughter. What do you think?" Cheng Baokun proposed.
Zhu Yanyi was slightly stunned. This event did not happen in her past life. But then again, in her past life, her health was poor at this time, and she could not leave home. She only got to know Cheng Baokun when she was seven. Thinking of this, she understood clearly that her life had changed completely from the moment she was reborn.
She remembered what Venerable Yanluo had said. Although it was a rebirth, rebirth meant a new life. As long as she kept a kind heart, she could control her own life. With this thought, her heart instantly relaxed. She could let go of everything from her past life. This life was already different.
"Factory Director wants to adopt our Ani as a goddaughter?" Zhu Shun Yao looked surprised.
Cheng Baokun nodded. "I only have two noisy boys at home. No daughter. I feel a connection with your Ani, so I want to recognize her as my goddaughter. What do you think?"
Zhu Shun Yao smiled. "I have no objection. However, I need to go back and tell my wife and my parents-in-law. Ani has been raised by my parents-in-law. Especially now, she learns everything from my father-in-law. Recognizing a godparent is a very important matter. We cannot bypass her. So, I must let her know when I return."
"Alright. Go back and discuss it with your wife and father-in-law. Give me an answer when you come to work tomorrow." Cheng Baokun naturally knew that recognizing a godparent was not just about saying it verbally. Since they would be god-relatives, they would need to visit each other. So, getting the family’s agreement was best.
"Okay. I will go home and talk to them right away." Zhu Shun Yao did not oppose it. She knew that if Cheng Baokun wanted to adopt her daughter as a goddaughter, she truly liked Zhu Yanyi. Otherwise, given her status, many people would want to send their daughters to be Cheng Baokun’s goddaughters.
"Let’s go. I will take you to eat wontons." This matter was not urgent. The most urgent thing now was to go shopping.
The wontons nowadays were made with real ingredients. The meat in the wontons was from farm-raised pigs, tender and fragrant.
Zhu Yanyi quite liked the wontons of this era. So, as soon as the wontons were served, she took a spoon and scooped one up. She blew on it a few times to make sure it was not too hot, then put it in her mouth.
