After Tang Yunde woke up from his vegetative state and learned that he had a son, he had never regarded Tang Xiu as a child ever since he learned some things about his son. As the saying goes, children from poor families take charge of the household early. He knew that his son had lived a hard life with his wife all these years, so his character was very mature.
However …
Upon hearing that his son wanted to adopt a blind child, he frowned and spoke out his thoughts, "Xiu, do you have so much time and energy? You must know that there's a big difference between a blind child and a normal child. "
"Dad, Mom, I understand what you mean." Tan Xiu said. "But that child is very special. Although his eyes are blind, his heart is not. With his heart, he can see a lot of things that ordinary people can't see. The reason why I want to adopt him and accept him as a disciple is because I think he's a promising talent. You should believe in my vision. Look at Yinyin. Isn't she a good example? "
"Master is right. Yinyin wants Little Junior Brother," Gu Yin said with a laugh.
Tang Yunde and Su Lingyun looked at each other. Their tense mood eased a lot. The couple knew that Tan Xiu was not an ordinary person. Although they didn't know how he became a cultivator, they were clear about their son's ability, so they didn't say anything more.
Mu Qingping asked softly, "I'll go out this morning to buy some daily necessities for the child. Also, I'll clean up the room next to Yinyin's bedroom. What do you think? "
"Alright!"
Tan Xiu nodded with a smile.
After breakfast, Tan Xiu drove out. Originally, he wanted to pick up Little Blind before the New Year, but then he received a call from the orphanage's President, who wanted to keep Little Blind in the orphanage for the last New Year, so he agreed. After the New Year, he went to the Imperial Capital, so it was delayed until now.
At the entrance of South Gate Town, Long Xueyao, who had received a call from Tan Xiu, was already waiting there with two big suitcases at her feet. Upon seeing Tan Xiu's car parked in front of her, she immediately knocked on the window and said with a smile, "Open the trunk. I bought some things for the children and brought them along."
Tan Xiu opened the trunk and got off to help put the two suitcases inside. Then, he said with a smile, "There aren't many warm-hearted girls like you these days. I even suspect that you spent all your money on the children in the Bluestar Welfare House. "
"Don't praise me. I'll be shy." Long Xueyao smiled. In addition, my salary is very high. It's tens of thousands a month. "
Tang Xiu just smiled and didn't say anything more. Long Xueyao's salary was indeed very high, but as far as he knew, she had to go to the Bluestar Welfare House several times a month, and the things she sent each time were very valuable. For example, Long Xueyao had spent twenty or thirty thousand yuan on the trip before the New Year.
After getting on the car, Long Xueyao smilingly said, "Tan Xiu, are you curious? My uncle is Long Hanwen. He's a rich man, so why don't I ask him to help the Bluestar Welfare House?"
After starting the car, Tan Xiu nodded and said while driving, "Yeah, I'm quite curious. Logically speaking, the Long Family would be able to turn the Bluestar Welfare Institute upside down with just a drop in the bucket. At the very least, it wouldn't be that difficult. "
Long Xueyao said, "In fact, my uncle has his own charity business. Every year, he will give me hundreds of thousands of yuan to spend on the children in the orphanage. However, most of the children in the orphanage are in poor health. Nearly half of them are sick. Every year, they have to spend two to three hundred thousand on medical expenses! "
Tan Xiu nodded silently. He understood this situation. Most of the children in the Bluestar Welfare Institute were weak and sickly, or children with physical defects. Not to mention Little Blind, there was also a child with congenital heart disease who needed to spend a lot of treatment fees every year. He even underwent a major operation last year, which cost more than 200,000 yuan.
Soon after.
The duo rushed to the Bluestar Welfare Institute. Tan Xiu accompanied Little Blind to pack up his things. They didn't stay in the Bluestar Welfare Institute for long and left with Little Blind. Long Xueyao had nothing to do today, so she stayed behind.
Inside the Land Rover SUV, classical music drifted in the air as Little Blind sat in the front passenger seat, quietly listening to the music. After driving for more than ten kilometers, Tan Xiu stopped at a traffic light intersection. As he waited for the red light to turn red, he said, "The adoption documents have been completed, but I haven't registered a new household registration book for you yet. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau first to register a new household registration book for you. You'll be my family in the future. "
"Alright!"
Little Blind gently nodded.
"Your surname will be Tang from now on," said Tan Xiu again. "I'll give you a new name, Tang Xiaohan. What do you think? "
Little Blind thought for a while and suddenly said with a smile, "Then, how should I address you in the future?"
"We'll hold an apprenticeship ceremony after we return home," said Tan Xiu. "You'll be my fifth apprentice."
"Alright!"
Little Blind nodded and said, "The name is very nice, Master. I like it very much."
"It's good that you like it." Tan Xiu said with a smile. "Do you still remember what I promised you? I'll make your eyes see again someday in the future. I'll take you to a place where you'll officially embark on the path of cultivation. "
Little Blind didn't know what the path of cultivation Tan Xiu mentioned was, but he faintly felt that his life would not be the same as before.
At the Civil Affairs Bureau of the Old River Street District in Star City.
After Tan Xiu arrived with Little Blind and Tang Xiaohan, they saw Long Zhengyu at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. At the moment, Long Zhengyu was wearing a down jacket, but he still stamped his feet and breathed to warm his hands.
"We're not late, Zhengyu!"
Tan Xiu walked over while holding Tang Xiaohan's hand.
"We're not late," said Long Zhengyu with a smile. "He's Little Blind, isn't he?"
"His name is Tang Xiaohan," said Tan Xiu.
Long Zhengyu nodded and said, "Have you brought the adoption certificate? You'll need the adoption certificate and your ID card to register your household registration. "
"I've brought them. Let's go inside quickly!" said Tan Xiu.
Huaxia was a country that relied on favors. There was a saying, "Having connections in the court makes things easier." Long Zhengyu had connections in the Civil Affairs Bureau. When he arrived, the second-in-command of the Civil Affairs Bureau personally accompanied him. Very quickly, he completed the registration process and was invited by the other party to sit in the office for a while.
After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Long Zhengyu looked at Tang Xiaohan and hesitantly said, "I wanted to take you to a fun place, but it seems you can't go now."
"What fun place?" asked Tan Xiu.
Long Zhengyu said with a smile, "Several local tycoons got a batch of raw stones from the South, and they're officially selling them in the Star City Convention and Exhibition Center today. To put it bluntly, it's stone gambling. "
Stone gambling?
Tan Xiu's expression moved. He looked at Tang Xiaohan and his heart was stirred. He needed jades, a lot of jades of excellent quality. Whether it was used to make magic tools, to arrange arrays in the future, or even to refine storage items, jades were the best choice.
"Xiaohan, let's not go home first. How about going to play with Master?" Tan Xiu picked up Tang Xiaohan and asked with a smile.
"Alright."
Tang Xiaohan was very sensible. Even though he couldn't see and didn't like lively scenes, he was willing to follow Tan Xiu wherever he wanted to go. It was because he firmly believed that he would spend the rest of his life with his Master, Tan Xiu. He would also be her dearest family member.
After boarding Tan Xiu's car, Long Zhengyu, who was sitting on the front seat, turned his head and glanced at Tang Xiaohan, who was sitting in the back seat. He then said with a smile, "Since you want to go with me, have you prepared the money? I heard that those local tycoons got a lot of raw stones with good quality. I'm afraid you'll have to spend a lot of money if you want to play with them. "
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "I have some money now, so I'll buy some if I find some satisfactory raw stones."
Long Zhengyu shook his head and laughed, "Satisfactory raw stones? There's no satisfactory raw stones in this world. Whoever has X-ray vision and can clearly see the jades in the raw stones will quickly become the richest man in the world. "
"You're exaggerating, aren't you?" Tan Xiu said with a smile. "The wealth of the richest man in the world is in the hundreds of millions. How much money can you earn by gambling on raw stones? "
"That's because you don't really understand the situation of jades," said Long Zhengyu. "Let me tell you something. A few years ago, there was a young man surnamed Zhuang who relied on his keen eyes and understanding of jades. He once went to the South, the West, and even went to Africa to gamble on stones. He bought jades and started a jade material business. He made a fortune from it. There was a Jade Buddha in the West, but that young man surnamed Zhuang made Jade Buddha revere him a lot. His current net worth is more than 10 billion yuan. Listen to me, I'm talking about US dollars. "
Tan Xiu thought for a moment and slowly nodded, "Gold is priceless, but jade is priceless. I can indeed make a lot of money if I can get a lot of good jades. It's a pity that I don't have much time to spend on the jade material business, else I'd really like to see that young man surnamed Zhuang. "
"It's very difficult for me to see him," said Long Zhengyu with a smile. "He's also a busy man! However, with your status, if you want to see him, he should agree. Let me tell you, he's my idol. "
Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing and said, "No way, right? Your Long Family may not be as rich as him, but he shouldn't be your idol! "
"I'm not talking about making money." Long Zhengyu curled his lips and said.
"Then what are you talking about?" Tan Xiu was surprised.
"Hehe, hehe." Long Zhengyu grinned and said, "That brother surnamed Zhuang has reached the acme of masturbation. You know what? He has several wives, and they get along very well with each other. Our country is not like other countries, where only monogamy is allowed. But those wives of his don't need the legal status of husband and wife. Those women are willing to follow him as long as they can. "
"Ugh …"
Tan Xiu stared blankly for a moment. He immediately raised his hand and gave a thumbs up, praising, "This brother is amazing."
