As soon as Zhang Tan arrived and sat down in Xin Xiaoguang's office, Xiao Bai followed him and sat beside him, pouting, grimacing, saying nothing, and dangling his little feet in the air.
Zhang Tan was asking about the serialization status of Xin Xiaoguang's comics when he suddenly felt his calf being kicked. When he looked down, he saw that Xiaobai's dangling little feet seemed to have hit him accidentally.
“What’s wrong? Why do you seem unhappy?” Zhang Tan asked the little guy.
Xiaobai, who had his head lowered and his face bulging, immediately said to him aggrievedly: "Xi'er painted a beard~"
Zhang Tan asked: “Don’t you think you should add a beard to the portrait?”
Xiaobai nodded.
Zhang Tan asked why. Xiaobai looked at him, then at Xin Xiaoguang, and finally looked at him and said he just didn't have a beard.
Zhang Tan said: "Then you draw a beardless one. That was Xi'er's just now. Xi'er's father used to have a beard, and Dudu's father also had a beard. Do you want to draw a different one?"
Xiaobai nodded.
Zhang Tan stood up and led her away: "Come on, I'll teach you how to draw."
Xin Xiaoguang watched them leave and had just talked about the matter for a few words.
Two days later, early morning.
Zhang Tan was already awake before it was fully light. He slept intermittently last night. He woke up in the middle of the night and had only a few dreams.
He followed his own habit and lay in bed for a while, sorting out the things for the day ahead. Then he got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth, changed his clothes, and went for a run in the yard.
After running eight times, I went outside to have breakfast. When I returned to the academy, Lao Li was already here and making tea in the guard box.
“It’s so early today.” Lao Li greeted.
“Yes, have you eaten?”
"have eaten."
Zhang Tan returned home, took a shower and changed clothes. He heard the sound of playing children in the yard. He went to the balcony to take a look and saw two chubby children gathered under the mulberry tree, seemingly discussing climbing the tree.
“It’s so early for you guys.” Zhang Tan greeted.
The two little ones raised their little faces. The older one immediately pointed at the younger one and said, "It's Dudu who wants to climb the tree. It's none of my business."
Dudu giggled, hugging the tree trunk, and wanted to climb up, but she was too small, with short hands and short legs, so she could only cling to it to keep from falling for the time being. As for climbing up, she would have to fly unless she could fly.
“Don’t climb the tree, Dudu, come down quickly.”
“*…￥%…￥%#￥##”
This little girl is a bit timid. There is nothing she is particularly afraid of and she dares to get involved in anything.
She continued to lie on the tree trunk, and Zhang Tan asked Liuliu to take Dudu down and take her to the studio.
Liuliu immediately pulled Dudu down and led her away.
There is no need to hold hands this time, and there is no need to worry about Dudu refusing to follow Liliu, because Dudu is chasing Liliu angrily and wants to quarrel with her!
Children from the interest class arrived one after another, and in the end only Xiaobai was left.
It was already past 9 o'clock. Just when Zhang Tan thought that Ma Lanhua would not send Xiao Bai to Little Red Horse today, Xiao Bai arrived late and ran past Zhang Tan with a gust of wind howling.
Zhang Tan saw Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping coming and said, "Then let's go and see the results."
Bai Jianping asked hesitantly: "Is it today?"
Ma Lanhua ignored him and said directly to Zhang Tan: "Then let's go."
"You guys wait at the door for a while, I'll drive over." Zhang Tan drove to the parking lot and came to the door of Xiaohongma to pick them up. He saw Xiaobai standing on the steps of the studio, tiptoeing towards him enthusiastically.
They waved goodbye.
When we arrived at the certification agency, the results had already come out. The staff who received them last time took them to the certification office and took out the envelope containing the results.
“It’s all in there, take a look, I’m going out first.” The staff member said, handing the envelope forward for them to take away.
Neither Zhang Tan nor the three of them reached out to take it, but a light envelope was of great importance in their eyes. Although they had done enough mental homework before coming, they still did not dare to face the reality when the critical moment came.
Seeing that no one picked up the answer, the staff said again: "Take it."
Zhang Tan took it in his hand and said thank you. When he saw the other party leaving, he did not open it immediately. Instead, he asked Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping: "Should we read it here or find another place?"
This is the work room, and people pass by from time to time, so Malanhua said to find another place.
Zhang Tan led them to a nearby cafe, asked for a private room, put the envelope in the middle of the table, and said, "Do you want to read it first?"
Ma Lanhua stared at the envelope and shook her head.
“I’ll come.”
It was Bai Jianping, who was usually weak, who took the initiative to take the envelope, opened it, and pulled out a list. He read it for a few seconds, handed it to Zhang Tan, and said, "You should also take a look."
Zhang Tan took it and browsed it. It was an A4-sized form. There were words and numbers on both sides. There were five aspects in total, including the confirmed person and the inspection materials, the handling and inspection methods of the inspection materials, etc. Zhang Tan directly
I skipped these and looked at the bottom, where it said: Test conclusion.
Test conclusion: Supports Zhang Tan as the biological father of Bai Chunhua.
Support Zhang Tan as the biological father of Bai Chunhua!
The moment he saw this line of words, Zhang sighed, as Xiaobai once said, his head was buzzing, his thinking was frozen, he had nothing to think about, and he had nothing to think about.
Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping, who were sitting across from him, stared at him. Seeing his shocked look, they had mixed feelings in their hearts. Their mission was accomplished, but they were not relaxed at all, and their hearts were still heavy.
They did not disturb Zhang Tan. After a while, Zhang Tan recovered. He picked up the coffee on the table and drank it in one gulp. He put the form on the table and said, "The result is that Xiaobai is my child."
, I am Xiaobai’s father.”
Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping looked at him without speaking.
Zhang Tan continued: "Let me tell you about Xiaobai's mother and me."
He recounted the brief encounter between Zhang Tan and Bai Yuxin in detail. It was very short and they did not have much intersection.
“That’s the way it is, what do you want to ask?” Zhang Tan finally said.
Bai Jianping's face was miserable and he could not speak. Malanhua asked in a solemn voice: "Have you ever thought about looking for our Yuxin?"
Zhang Tan really wanted to say that he had thought about it, or even said that he had actually found it, but he just didn't find it. In this case, they might feel better, but...
“Actually no, she and I should be the closest strangers.”
Ma Lanhua was silent and did not speak. Bai Jianping's knuckles creaked.
Ma Lanhua asked: "Then what are you going to do now?"
Zhang Tan has already thought about it, "Of course I want to take good care of Xiaobai, but I listen to your opinions, especially Grandma Xiaobai."
Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping looked at each other, and Malanhua asked again: "Do you have anything to ask?"
Zhang Tan asked: "Does Grandma Xiaobai know...about Xiaobai?"
"She knew. She knew it very early, even before us. It was Jiang Ping who took the initiative to tell her, before getting married. In fact, we came to Pujiang to find Xiaobai... and to find you because we were entrusted by her.
She said that Xiaobai is still so young and will be without a mother for the rest of her life, so she cannot be left without a father."
Zhang Tan said: "I want to go to Huangjia Village and explain to her face to face that you decide the time. If she wants to see me now, I can rush there now."
Ma Lanhua said: "I have been looking for it for several years, and I am not in a hurry these days. I am worried that she will not be able to bear it. Let me wait until I find a suitable opportunity to tell her."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
There was suddenly nothing to say between the two. After a while, Bai Jianping said: "Boss Zhang, I didn't expect it to be you. After thinking about it, maybe this is the best result. Yuxin is my sister, and I feel sorry for her.
, but you know, in fact, Yu Xin doesn’t hate you. She confessed to me and Lao Ma that that night was the fault of both of you, and no one forced anyone... But, I don’t want to entrust Xiaobai to you."
