“Father, come quickly. I found a little sister. She’s very pretty.” Little Xuan saw his father coming. 

“What? You found a little sister?” Little Xuan’s father was very surprised when he heard his little son’s words. He turned his head and saw the child in his wife’s arms. He asked in surprise, “Little Juan, what’s going on?” 

Little Xuan’s mother told Little Xuan’s father everything that she knew, 

Little Xuan’s father didn’t say anything after hearing this. He took the opportunity to think for a while before saying to everyone, “Let’s talk about it when we get home.” 

Little Xuan’s mother really wanted a daughter. She had liked Qu Meng’er the moment she saw her. But no matter how much she liked her, she couldn’t take Qu Meng’er in without permission. 

The couple discussed for a while and finally decided to report Qu Meng’er to the big team headquarters and tell the leaders of the big team headquarters about this matter. If she was really someone’s lost child, they would return the child to that family. If no one came to take back the child, they would decide to adopt the child. 

“Haoguo, Little Xuan, the two of you stay at home. I’ll go out with your mother,” Little Xuan’s father said and urged his wife, “Little Juan, let’s go.” 

“Father, mother, can’t you keep her here? I want my sister,” Little Xuan pouted as he looked eagerly at Qu Meng’er in his mother’s arms. 

“Little Xuan, be good. Father and mother will take your sister to the team headquarters. If no one comes to claim her, your mother and I will bring her back for you,” Little Xuan’s father said as he stroked Little Xuan’s head. He did not realize that when he was talking to Little Xuan, he actually wanted to keep the little baby. 

However, he was the head of the family. There were some things that he had to consider thoroughly. He could not let others find evidence against him for the things that he had done, especially when the Cultural Revolution had just ended in these ten years. 

Having eaten her fill, Qu Meng’er’s heart completely relaxed. She had always been in a good mood. She would always take things as they came. In Qu Meng’er’s opinion, no matter what, it was better than being captured and controlled by her father in her previous life. 

However, before Qu Meng’er confirmed her final destination, she was still a little worried. After all, she was still a baby who could not take care of herself. 

Qu Meng’er thought that the heavens were really playing a joke on her. Why would they let her be reborn as a newborn baby? If she was reborn as a slightly older baby, she wouldn’t have to be so conflicted. 

While Qu Meng’er was conflicted, she was carried to the village chief’s house. 

“Is the village chief here?” 

“Who is it? It’s so late, why are you looking for me?” As he said that, an old man with a pipe walked out. 

“Village Chief, I’m Chen Ping. My two kids found a baby girl in the wasteland on the east side of the village. Little Juan and I brought the child here,” Chen Ping said with a smile when he saw the person who came. 

“Oh, you found her in the wasteland on the east side of the village? Come, let me see.” The village chief motioned for Liu Juan to pass the child to him. 

Liu Juan glanced at her man and handed the child in her arms to the village chief reluctantly. “Oh, this child looks so pretty. Look at these clothes. The quilt is not something an ordinary family can afford. How could she be thrown into the wasteland in the east of our village?” The village chief looked at the child wrapped in a small quilt, “It’s the child.” 

Chen Ping and Liu Juan did not respond to the village chief’s words. Speaking of which, they did not know how to respond. They also did not know… 

“You brought this child here?” The village chief raised his head and asked. 

“We are not wondering about the family that lost the child. We were afraid that the family would be anxious, so we thought of sending the child to you, village chief, so that you could look for it.” After saying that, Chen Ping looked at his wife, then he said, “Of course, if the family can’t find the child, our family is willing to take care of the child.” 

“HM?” The first half of Chen Ping’s sentence was within the village chief’s expectations. He had guessed it when Chen Ping carried the child over. However, the second half of Chen Ping’s sentence surprised him. In this day and age, if one’s family did not have enough to eat, who would have nothing to do and still adopt a child? Moreover, it was a girl. In this era, the preference of boys over girls was quite serious. Originally, the village chief had been thinking about it. This child’s parents were almost impossible to find. If he could not find the child’s parents, he felt quite vexed about how he should deal with this child. 

When Qu Meng’er heard Chen Ping’s words, she was also quite surprised. She could feel that this family liked her. However, when Chen Ping and his wife carried her to the village chief’s home, she had never thought that the couple would adopt her. 

Although she still had not figured out where and when she was reborn. However, when she was at Chen Ping’s house just now, she felt the poverty of that family. That was why she was even more surprised. 

“Village Chief, you also know that my husband likes daughters. He had always wanted me to give birth to a daughter, but I gave birth to two boys in a row. We were afraid that the third one would still be a boy, so we didn’t dare to give birth again.” 

“Well, if we had a ready-made daughter, we would feel satisfied,” Chen Ping said to the village chief with a smile. 

The village chief didn’t answer Chen Ping immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment, he said, “Since you have said so, then you should carry this child back first. I’ll go and look to see which family has lost a child. If you can’t find the parents of this child, you can keep her.” 

“Ah, thank you, Village Chief.” Liu Juan heard the village chief clear his throat and immediately beamed with joy as she received the child from him. 

Meanwhile, Qu Meng’er could not help but let out a breath in her heart. She had finally settled down. She knew very well in her heart that she would not be able to find her biological parents within a short period of time. And because of her experiences in her previous life, Qu Meng’er did not have much hope for her parents from the bottom of her heart. 

Although she also hoped that she could get the love of her father and mother.
