There are still fourteen days left until the twenty-day deadline.
There are two tasks left: registering the marriage and registering Yuanyuan.
The key to completing these two tasks is how to successfully take out Bai Qingnian’s household registration book.
There are two ways to get it.
1. Convince Bai's mother and let her take it out willingly so that the two of them can get married.
Second, take it out secretly, use it, and then put it back secretly.
Method 2 is very difficult. If you want to steal it successfully, you need to scout the location in advance and then successfully guess the password of the safe. During the whole process, Bai's mother must not be suspicious at all.
They chose method 2.
Because method one failed.
At first, Bai Qingnian still held out a glimmer of hope for method one, because he felt that stealing household registration books was a sin.
He tried to persuade Bai's mother and stopped beating around the bush. He told her his purpose directly: he wanted to marry Gu Xiefeng.
The result was unsurprisingly rejected by Bai's mother.
Bai's mother said unhappily on the other end of the phone: "Why are you so anxious? What's the rush?"
Bai Qingnian used an old excuse: "I'm not young anymore, and now I have a child. Isn't it time to register with him? We are not in a hurry for the wedding, we just want to register first."
"Who said you are not young? You are still very young! There is no need to rush for such a matter. The child is there, and the lack of a hukou will not prevent him from studying in the future."
Others of this age have been urged to get married once or twice by their families.
Only Bai's mother thought it would not be too late to discuss this matter after a few years.
"In any case, I won't agree to you getting married right now. This is not a trivial matter. You must think it through."
"… I think it's clear that I will only be with him." Bai Qingnian said, "Mom, he is really good to me. You have seen it. We are still the same even if we have a child."
"People change. He treats you well now, but you can't be sure how he will treat you after marriage." Bai's mother said, "Listen to me, let's wait two years. You also said that we already have a child. If Gu Xiefeng is really reliable in two years, do I have to hold on to you? Besides, if he really likes you and plans to spend his whole life with you, can't he afford to wait two more years?"
Bai's mother's words were well-founded and Bai Qingnian could not refute them, nor did he dare to refute them.
Because her saying this was already a big concession, from what was once absolutely impossible to what was now depending on Xiefeng's performance over the next two years - it was not easy to get Bai's mother to give in, so Bai Qingnian didn't dare to push her further.
Moreover, her words also clearly indicated that it was impossible now. If Bai Qingnian insisted and said a few more words, it would only make Bai's mother angry.
There was no other way. Time was running out, so Bai Qingnian decided to find a way to get it out during the New Year holidays when he went home.
He doesn't have normal holidays, but he is lucky this time. He has three days off from New Year's Eve to the second day of the New Year and can stay at home.
Bai Qingnian never stole anything from his parents when he was a child, but he started to do it when he grew up.
But for their little wishes, we have to do it even if we don’t want to. We must do it.
The baby wasn't in good condition after coming out of the egg, and seemed to be really sick.
Spent most of the first two days sleeping.
Although I feel energetic after a good sleep, the problem is that I can't wake up.
I used to take a one-hour nap, but now I take a nap for the whole afternoon. When I wake up, I still look groggy and clumsy.
He couldn't even walk well, his steps were unsteady and he looked like he was about to fall.
I guess the baby was scared too, so he just lay down where he was and started crawling.
After knowing his true identity, both fathers were able to accept his abnormal behavior.
The only thing I can’t accept is that the baby’s appetite has decreased.
The little guy who used to eat so much and enjoyed his food so much, now eats less than half of what he used to.
His love for food is still there. He used to like meat and creamy sweets, but now he doesn't like them anymore. He feels full and satisfied just by drinking millet porridge and pumpkin porridge every day.
The little baby who loved to eat became unable to eat. The two fathers were very worried and thought he was sick.
Fortunately, starting from the third day, Xiao Yuanyuan's condition improved.
Although my appetite is still the same as the previous two days, I feel much better and don’t need to sleep as long.
I just really like eggshells these days.
Not only does it like to stick to the eggshell, it will occasionally crawl into it and close the eggshell door.
The first time he saw Yuanyuan drilling into the eggshell, Gu Xiefeng was almost scared to death.
Fortunately, the eggshell could not be closed again, and Gu Xiefeng quickly opened the small door on it - but when he reached in to grab the baby, it was empty. Not to mention the baby, there was not even a single extra feather.
Gu Xiefeng's shattered worldview has been reshaped in the past few days. Once he accepted that Yuanyuan was a little parrot that could only perform magic, any other settings were not difficult to accept.
While he was looking for the baby in the eggshell, he shouted, "Yuanyuan, where have you been? Come out, come out quickly!"
There is a different dimension in the eggshell that belongs exclusively to the baby parrot. It is the baby parrot’s first home.
But the outside is broken and cannot be repaired. At most, this place is a quiet place for baby parrots to rest.
Little Yuanyuan had just laid down softly inside when he heard his father calling him, so he had to crawl out again.
The eggshell is much smaller than Xiao Yuanyuan’s body, but now when Gu Xiefeng sees Xiao Yuanyuan crawling out of it, he doesn’t feel scared anymore.
This is what a good father should do, working with his children to build inner strength.
Seeing Xiao Yuanyuan coming out, Gu Xiefeng quickly reached out and hugged her in his arms.
After finally hatching from the egg, I can’t go back: “What is Yuanyuan doing in there?”
"Want to go inside and sleep!"
This is the most comfortable place to sleep, the little baby answered honestly.
"You can sleep outside if you want. Yuanyuan, don't go inside. It might scare dad to death."
Xiao Yuanyuan's poor comprehension and expression abilities made it impossible for her to understand Gu Xiefeng's meaning, and even if she did, she couldn't explain it clearly.
But he didn't want to scare his father to death, so he agreed to Gu Xiefeng's request: "Okay! Then Yuanyuan, go outside and sleep!"
Gu Xiefeng's heart trembled at the little baby's rosy cheeks and cute voice.
At this moment, he couldn't remember the fact that the little baby was a parrot. He could only hold the little baby's head and kiss his face a hundred times.
The day before New Year's Eve, Bai Qingnian prepared to return to the Bai family.
He and Gu Xiefeng were not married, and they went back to their own homes during the New Year.
But after get off work, I still went back home because I wanted to see the little baby again.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiefeng took the little baby out for a walk and had not returned yet, and Bai Qingnian didn't see him at all.
He had no choice but to pack up the little baby's things and ask Gu Xiefeng to bring them back home tomorrow.
After all, the little baby’s household registration is in the Gu family, and he is now just a child of the Gu family. It is natural for him to follow Gu Xiefeng back.
There are several sets of clothes prepared for the little baby for the New Year, one of which is a red Tang suit, which looks particularly good when worn and looks like a doll in a New Year picture.
Alas, it’s a pity that I wore it when I was at Gu’s house, so he can’t see it.
Bai Qingnian was sorting and counting his things when the doorbell rang.
I thought it was Gu Xiefeng who came back with the two children, but when I opened the door, it was Zhong Anjia and Gong Wangheng who came in.
The Gong family went out to play again two days ago. They just came back this morning and brought some local specialties for them.
It is normal for neighbors to congratulate each other during the New Year, and the relationship between the two families is usually good.
Zhong Anjia smiled and said, "Happy New Year in advance. I came here suddenly. I hope I didn't disturb you guys."
"Of course not. I'm the only one at home now. Please come in."
Zhong Anjia took Gong Wangheng in.
"I heard from Hengheng that Yuanyuan was sick a few days ago. Is she feeling better now?"
"It's fine. He was alive and kicking a long time ago. He's gone to walk the dog with Xiefeng and hasn't come back yet."
"That's good."
Gong Wangheng has always been quiet and doesn't say much in front of adults.
When he saw the wishing eggs on the coffee table, he asked, "Uncle Bai, is this my brother's egg?"
Yuanyuan's eggshell looks more like a decoration no matter how you look at it.
We put it in the room for fear that he would get in again, so the adults took it downstairs and put it there.
No one else had seen this egg before. Gong Wangheng asked this question the first time he saw it, and Bai Qingnian was scared by him.
But there was no emotion on the child's face, it seemed like he just saw it, so I asked casually.
Bai Qingnian kept in mind that Xiao Yuanyuan's identity must not be exposed, but Gong Wangheng had no way of knowing it.
He smiled and answered: "This is my brother's toy. It's pretty, isn't it?"
Gong Wangheng agreed expressionlessly: "Yeah, it's pretty."
Zhong Anjia took a look as well, but he naturally couldn't see anything: "Today's children's toys are quite unique. Even the eggs are made pink, and there's a door."
"Yeah, it's different from our generation. Now there are all kinds of toys."
Gong Wangheng asked: "Uncle Bai, can I come closer and take a closer look?"
Bai Qingnian hesitated for a moment.
I just said it was just a toy, and it would seem awkward not to agree.
After thinking for a while, Bai Qingnian tried to be friendly and said, "My brother likes this toy very much, so please be careful."
"Okay, I'll be careful."
Gong Wangheng walked closer to look at the eggshell.
At first I just observed it carefully with my eyes, and then I touched it with my hands.
Perhaps he was curious about the function of the eggshell door, so he opened and closed it several times, then reached his hand into the eggshell and turned it around.
His expression remained the same as usual, with no change, but his eyes seemed brighter than usual.
Zhong Anjia was surprised to be able to notice these subtle changes.
Gong Wangheng rarely shows interest in anything, especially toys.
He has never liked these things since he was a child, and it is rare that his eyes light up because of an ordinary eggshell toy.
After all, he is just a seven-year-old child.
Gong Wangheng felt the egg thoroughly and put it down steadily. He walked back to sit next to Zhong Anjia and said to Bai Qingnian, "Thank you, Uncle Bai. I'll take a good look at it."
Although he no longer smiles when he meets everyone like before and his expression is much colder, Gong Wangheng still maintains his proper manners.
This also made Bai Qingnian often forget his personality disorder. When facing him, he always felt that he was just a child with a calm personality.
Zhong Anjia asked him: "Do you like this?"
"I'm just a little curious, not fond of it."
Zhong Anjia smiled and said, "How about I buy one for you too? Then you can observe it carefully."
"No need." Gong Wangheng said, "Brother, this toy is very special, it should be impossible to buy it."
Zhong Anjia looked at Bai Qingnian: "Really?"
Bai Qingnian didn't expect Gong Wangheng to say this, and he felt inexplicably panicked.
Is it because he feels guilty that he thinks too much about what Gong Wangheng said
He is just a seven-year-old child. How could he make people feel uneasy with just a few words
Bai Qingnian had no choice but to make up a story: "… It is a little special. It was pieced together bit by bit with real eggshells. It was also given to him by the elders of the Gu family."
Zhong Anjia didn't suspect anything: "Children's toys are so exquisite nowadays."
"yes."
But Gong Wangheng said: "It doesn't look like it's made of broken eggshells. The inside is very smooth, and there's no trace of patchwork materials. And the color on the outside is very natural, it doesn't look like it was painted on. I think this is a real egg."
That's the thing about smart kids.
It is even more difficult for smart children who are observant.
Gong Wangheng actually guessed the truth just like that.
Bai Qingnian could only smile and drink tea and pretend to be stupid: "No way, where can there be such a big egg? It's bigger than an ostrich egg. And it's pink. It must be artificial."
"The color of bird eggshells is determined by the products of cellular metabolism. Generally, there are three pigments: biliverdin, zinc chelate of biliverdin and protoporphyrin. Among them, protoporphyrin can make the eggshell appear pink."
I didn't expect that Gong Wangheng would share this knowledge with me.
It seems that it is not good for children to be too smart, as it will make adults unable to cope with them.
Bai Qingnian prayed in his heart that Gu Xiefeng would quickly bring Yuanyuan back to end this embarrassing situation.
"Hengheng is so amazing, he knows so much."
But Gong Wangheng is not the kind of child who would be happy with praise.
"Uncle Bai, you can send it to a professional institution for identification, so that we can know what kind of bird this egg is."
Fortunately, Gu Xiefeng came back with the two children at this time.
As soon as the door was opened, there was a lot of noise. The little baby was singing loudly, but Little Eleven didn't walk enough, so he was howling and wanted to continue walking.
Because of the thick scarf and hat, the baby's vision was obstructed and he didn't see other people in the room.
Only after Gu Xiefeng took off these things did he see his father coming back.
She didn't even notice Zhong Anjia and Gong Wangheng, and threw herself directly into Bai Qingnian's arms.
"Dad! You're getting fat!"
The baby's pronunciation, which had improved with great difficulty, had partially degenerated after staying in the egg for a few days.
After she finished acting cute with her dad, she saw Zhong Anjia and Gong Wangheng and greeted them again: "Hello, Uncle Zhong! Hello, Brother Hengheng!"
The little parrot has the magical power to make people feel better when they see it.
The more Zhong Anjia looked at him, the more she liked him. She gently pinched his face and said, "Wish you're good. Wish you're so energetic at night."
"Yeah." The little baby nodded and said seriously, "...Wish is a wish with vitality."
Talk to adults seriously.
After saying that, she looked at Gong Wangheng and said, "Brother, I'm willing to eat your chocolate candy! Thank you, brother!"
He truly loves this chocolate candy. No matter what his preferences for other foods are, he always has a special liking for this chocolate candy.
Bai Qingnian took out a box yesterday morning, and by the evening, the whole box was eaten up by this little ancestor.
Gong Wangheng said calmly: "As long as you like it."
"Wanyuan likes it very much!" The child didn't beat around the bush and said boldly, "Can you give it to Yuanyuan next time?"
"If dad brings it to me, I'll share it with you."
"Okay, thank you brother!"
He jumped out of Bai Qingnian's arms, walked to the coffee table, opened the drawer, and decided to take out another little penguin to give to Brother Hengheng.
He can't always eat his brother's chocolates, he also has to give his brother gifts.
But the eggshell was placed on the coffee table, and the little baby went over and smelled the scent of someone else on it.
The little baby's sky is falling.
Who, who moved his eggshell.
With one hand on the eggshell, the little baby immediately looked at Bai Qingnian aggrievedly: "... Egg, wishful egg..."
Bai Qingnian was puzzled: "What happened to Yuanyuan's balls?"
"... You can't touch it, I want it, my balls..."
Xiao Yuanyuan bit his lip. He didn't like the smell of other people on the eggshell.
This is his eggshell, it would be best if it only had his taste.
Being able to accept fathers is already the limit, any more people is absolutely unacceptable.
Parents don’t know that this would be a taboo for their little one.
The main reason was that Gong Wangheng didn't touch the eggshell for too long, but the little guy had a very sensitive nose and smelled it out immediately.
Bai Qingnian couldn't say anything in front of Zhong Anjia.
Then he said, "Dad knows. Then Dad will not touch Yuanyuan's eggshells anymore."
But the simple little baby is as serious as the smart Gong Wangheng.
"... No, it wasn't Dad, it was someone else..." His eyes fell directly on the "criminal" Gong Wangheng, and the little darling asked bluntly, "... It was my brother who touched my balls, right?"
Gong Wangheng would not make excuses and honestly admitted: "I touched your balls."
"… This is Yuanyuan's, you can't touch it… Yuanyuan, I don't like your taste… "
Xiao Yuanyuan didn't express it clearly. What he actually wanted to say was that he didn't like the smell of Gong Wangheng on the eggshell.
The result was not expressed accurately and became a hurtful statement.
The adults were shocked by this statement.
It’s too direct. If it were two ignorant kids, they would probably have a fight.
Fortunately, Gong Wangheng is an emotionally deficient child and words cannot hurt him.
He apologized to Xiaoyuanyuan: "I'm sorry, the eggshell is very beautiful, so I was a little curious. I won't touch your eggshell in the future."
The little baby still cares a lot about it.
But his brother apologized, and his brother didn’t know, so he had to forgive his brother.
"Yuanyuan's balls are very beautiful..."
He is such a cute little parrot, so of course his eggshell should be beautiful too.
"Forget it this time, but I won't do that again..." Xiao Yuanyuan said seriously, "This is Yuanyuan's, my baby balls... You can't let others touch them..."
"I understand. I won't touch it casually anymore."
Only after getting the assurance from brother Hengheng did Xiao Yuanyuan continue to choose the little penguin.
In the drawer of the coffee table there is a row of his favorite little penguins. These are the beds that Xiao Yuanyuan made for them. Each one is padded with a pillow and covered with a quilt made of tissue paper.
He picked out a little red penguin and walked to Gong Wangheng.
One yard owned by a yard.
I still have to thank my brother for the chocolate candy he gave me.
"This, little penguin, is Yuanyuan's favorite. I'm giving it to my brother."
Naturally, I was reluctant to give up my favorite little penguin, but I had to give something for the delicious chocolate candy.
Gong Wangheng looked at the little penguin, which was still beyond his aesthetic range, and just wanted to refuse.
But the little baby didn't give him a chance to refuse, and directly put it in his hand, admonishing: "Be good to it. It can be good friends with the little penguin before."
Is that the little penguin that is still eating dust under his bed
Gong Wangheng thought about it and accepted it: "Okay, I will treat it well."
The adults watching on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they resolved the small conflict themselves.
After sitting for a few more minutes, Zhong Anjia took Gong Wangheng back.
Bai Qingnian could finally rest assured.
Maybe he was thinking too much and had complicated thoughts about Gong Wangheng, but he always felt that this kid seemed to know something, and some of the words he said tonight frightened him.
After everyone left, Bai Qingnian asked Xiao Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, brother probably doesn't know your identity, right?"
Xiao Yuanyuan shook his head: "I don't know."
How could his brother know? He didn't meet his brother very often and he had never revealed his abilities in front of his brother.
"Yuanyuan must be careful and never let anyone else know your true identity."
Little Yuanyuan nodded seriously: "Yes, Yuanyuan knows, I will be very careful!"
Gu Xiefeng laughed at him: "Are you too nervous? He is only a seventeen-year-old child. He is a little different from other children, but he shouldn't know such things."
"Don't look down on me because I'm only seven years old. I don't think I know less than you do."
"Am I so useless?"
"Hey, did you see the color of Yuanyuan's eggshell?"
"Pink, what's wrong?"
"Do you know what makes eggshells pink?"
“… I am just an ordinary business student.”
Bai Qingnian rolled his eyes at him, thinking he was a useless thing.
Take the clothes you just sorted out and explain this thing again.
"I have prepared Yuanyuan's clothes, and put them in there one by one. You can wear this new set of clothes when you take him to Gu's house tomorrow. This set is for when he visits the old man on the first day of the new year. These two sets are daily clothes, you can choose when the time comes."
Gu Xiefeng listened carefully: "Okay, I understand."
Bai Qingnian sighed: "I have to go to work on the third day of junior high school, so I'll try to get the household registration book out in the next few days."
Xiao Yuanyuan was very familiar with the word "household registration book" and immediately jumped over to listen: "Household registration book!"
"Yes, the household registration book." Bai Qingnian rubbed his little head, "Yuanyuan, don't worry, Daddy will take care of these things. Yuanyuan, just be our little baby."
In fact, after the fathers knew these truths, Xiao Yuanyuan has always felt at ease.
He had tried to do these things secretly before, but it was extremely difficult and he couldn't do them well at all.
But after his father found out, he didn't have to pretend anymore. These things that were extremely difficult for him were also promised by his father, and he felt very safe.
Now listening to Bai Qingnian saying this, he was even happier: "...Okay, I'm willing to do it, baby!"
Bai Qingnian has been somewhat infected by Gu Xiefeng these past two days, and he always wants to hug his little baby and kiss him a hundred times.
But I held back.
He had few things of his own, so he had already prepared them.
It was getting late, and he was ready to go back to the Bai family.
Bai Qingnian said to Gu Xiefeng: "I'll be leaving first. You have to take good care of Yuanyuan these few days."
Gu Xiefeng picked up Xiao Yuanyuan and went to see Bai Qingnian off: "Don't worry, there are so many people in the Gu family, I guarantee that he will be well taken care of."
After Bai Qingnian drove the car to the door, he rolled down the window and waved goodbye to them: "See you later, and be good at home."
Little Yuanyuan was held in Gu Xiefeng's arms, waving to Bai Qingnian in a daze, with only one thought in his mind - where is Dad going
"Be careful on the road and call me when you get there."
"Okay, I'm leaving now."
Bai Qingnian climbed up to the car window and drove away.
Xiao Yuanyuan was carried into the house by Gu Xiefeng, still in a daze.
Gu Xiefeng rubbed his head: "What's wrong, baby?"
Little Yuanyuan pointed to the door and said, "...Where is Dad going?"
Gu Xiefeng answered him: "Dad, come home."
go home
Which home to go back to
Yuanyuan is still here. Isn’t this dad’s home
He frowned and asked Gu Xiefeng in complete confusion: "... Dad, where are you going back to?"
This question was very advanced, and even made Gu Xiefeng laugh: "Dad went back to his own home, to Grandma's home."
"Then Dad, when will you come back?" Xiao Yuanyuan didn't want to be separated from his father, "Wait a minute, will he come back?"
"Dad won't be back for a few days."
The little baby now has some concept of time, at least he understands what "one day" means.
He silently calculated that a day was from waking up in the morning to going to bed at night.
During those days, there were several "days".
What does it mean
Could it be that he won’t be able to see Bai Qingnian for several “days”
The little baby's sky collapsed again.
I cry when I say I cry. I cry immediately.
In Gu Xiefeng's arms, she was heartbroken. The prelude was silenced. Only after the tears flowed did the crying come out.
Gu Xiefeng was amused by this baby who was several beats slow to react.
Why was you so fine when we were saying goodbye but now you’re crying
"Yuyuan, don't cry. Yuanyuan, be good and don't cry."
Little Yuanyuan couldn't stop crying: "... Wuwawa, why didn't he take Yuanyuan with him..."
The author has something to say: *Irresponsible mini-theater*
After returning, Gong Wangheng stuffed the little penguin under the bed again.
Two good friends little penguins eat ashes together
