Reborn in the 1980s, remarried and followed a soldier, the ungrateful wretch cried with regret.

Chapter 499 I feel very tired
"Mom, stop talking. Don't let Qin Wenze know about these things. Okay, you go ahead with your work, I need to rest."

Gao Lan didn't want to listen to her mother anymore.

The more she listened, the more upset she felt.

However, she could not question Qin Wenze about these matters.

In Gao's mother's eyes, all she saw was her daughter's lack of ambition.

What a loser—she can't even hold onto a man.

Forget it, the grandson hasn't been officially adopted yet, so she can't be too obvious about stirring things up.

Qin Wenze bought a lot of things.

He bought a three-day supply.

"Mom, these will last us three days. We can buy more if we need anything else."

"Okay." Madam Gao was quite pleased with the large pile of things. "I'll kill a chicken and stew it for Lanlan at noon."

"I'll go kill them!" Qin Wenze took on the task.

"No need, you can go and keep Lanlan company. I can take care of these chores."

Since Qin Wenze had nothing to do at the moment, he couldn't possibly let his mother-in-law kill a chicken.

He then went to the courtyard.

Just as he was about to catch the chicken, Gao Yaohui suddenly rushed out and shouted in a clear voice, "Dad!"

The loud noise really startled him.

He almost dropped the kitchen knife he was holding.

"Dad, do you need to kill a chicken? I'll help you!"

Gao Yaohui was particularly pleased that he would be eating chicken for lunch.

Qin Wenze could no longer laugh.

Although he had previously agreed to let the child be adopted.

But now this child is calling him "Dad" so clearly—which makes him feel quite uncomfortable.

Do I really want to adopt someone else's son?
He has his own child—the thought of raising this child while his own child is raised by his parents.

That strange, uncomfortable feeling became even stronger.

"—Don't rush to call me Dad." "Dad, don't you want me to call you Dad? But Grandma said that once I move in, I'll be your and Aunt's son, so I'll have to call you that sooner or later. It's the same if I call you that sooner."

Qin Wenze: ...?
It turns out that this was taught by my mother-in-law.

Just then, Gao Lan, who should have been lying inside, came out.

"Wenze, I was just about to tell you about this. Now that Yaohui has moved in, let's get the adoption procedures done as soon as possible! He can transfer to this school next spring."

Qin Wenze: ...?
Are you going to study here again?
Just thinking about it gave Qin Wenze a huge headache.

"Isn't it too late to transfer schools? Yaohui might not be able to adapt if he suddenly changes schools."

Gao Yaohui said eagerly, "Dad, I'm adapting super well."

He had long since stopped wanting to study at that lousy school.

Changing schools would be a huge benefit for him.

No one will say he's bad at studying anymore.

Qin Wenze: ...?
Before he could say anything, Gao Lan spoke again: "What, are you saying you want to back out?"

Qin Wenze did indeed want to back out.

But he is a man of his word.

I just can't bring myself to say I'm going to back out.

He sighed inwardly when he saw Gao Lan's slightly reddened eyes.

"Okay, I'll take care of it tomorrow!"

Gao Lan was very happy.

"Thank you! I'll have Mom go back this afternoon and tell my older brother and sister-in-law so they can get the paperwork done together."

Unlike her smile, Qin Wenze felt very tired inside.

But he still nodded, "--Okay!"

At the base, Fu Mingxue started working. She searched for a long time before finally coming to a conclusion.

"The problem here is quite serious. There must be something wrong with the materials, otherwise the turbine blade wouldn't have microscopic contaminants causing cracks."
