After running around a few stores, I finally got Jasmine's costume problem solved, and for this purpose, I used three cards. Fortunately, the company gave me a lot of cards during the Chinese New Year, otherwise I would have to go to the bank to withdraw money.

After buying clothes, it was just noon, and it was troublesome to go home, so I took Xueqi and Jasmine directly to a nearby Western restaurant for dinner.

Jasmine has never eaten Western food, and when she eats Western food, she is not used to using a knife, so she actually peels it directly by hand, but she was educated by me, and Xueqi patiently taught her on the side and demonstrated to her.

In the end, Xueqi also shared a pizza with Jasmine, Jasmine seemed to like pizza very much, and the speed of eating pizza was amazing, and most of them were wiped out in three or two bites. And when she finally checked out, when she saw the price of the meal she ate at noon, the little witch was so shocked that her face turned white, and it took a long time for her to say, "Why is it so expensive?" Finally, she was still a little angry and glared at me and asked, "What are you doing with such an expensive thing?"

I just smiled and said, "Aren't you happy to eat?"

Jasmine gritted her teeth and stopped talking, indeed, she was the happiest among the three of us at noon today. She certainly had nothing to say.

"Mom...... ......I seemed to hear Jasmine's whispered hoarse complaint.

After that, I went to the fireworks stall with Xue Qi Jasmine and the three to buy fireworks, and it was Chinese New Year's Eve soon, originally I planned to go to my aunt's house for the New Year, but now that Jasmine comes, I have to take care of two people, and I definitely can't go. I have already made an excuse to excuse myself, just saying that I am going to France to see the confinement, although this reason is far-fetched, but it is barely possible.

Xue Qi was surprised to see that I bought so many fireworks, because she didn't dare to set off fireworks at all, and I usually don't set off fireworks much, I said that this year is at home for the New Year, and it will be lively to set off fireworks in the courtyard together.

After that, I went and bought the II disc so that Xueqi and Jasmine could play together.

I bought fireworks and ii game discs and got home, and the three of us didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, so we started playing.

An afternoon passed quickly, and in the evening Xueqi and Jasmine and I started cooking again. This time, Jasmine made two dishes herself, one she learned from me yesterday, and the other was the tamales she would have known.

Jasmine's craftsmanship is actually not bad, and during dinner, Xueqi and I both praised her for her good work, and Jasmine actually showed a rare hint of pride.

Of course, she soon reverted to her usual resentful expression.

By the end of the day, we had wiped out all the food on the table. I never thought that on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, I would actually spend it with two little girls. It's amazing to think about.

After dinner, at my suggestion, the three of us ran to the courtyard to set off fireworks, Xueqi didn't dare to set off any fireworks except for the star stick, and finally could only cover her ears and hide far away, Jasmine didn't want to put it at first, but because Xueqi didn't dare, plus my urging, she had to reluctantly come to help me light the fire.

When watching the brilliant fireworks bloom in the black night, Jasmine and Xueqi both looked up at the sky and watched it fascinatingly.

The colorful flowers of light bloomed one after another in the air, extinguished and fallen one after another, just like the unforgettable names that I have ever passed in my life, and the people I can't forget.

What is life?

Compared to spring flowers, I think it's more like the fleeting fireworks that bloom in the sky.

At least the spring flowers are accompanied by a hundred flowers, while the fireworks are always lonely and will only disappear in the cold night wind.

Even the flower seeds will not be left.

After the fireworks that night, Xue Qi and Jasmine and I watched the Spring Festival Gala in the bedroom, but Xue Qi and Jasmine didn't like to watch the Spring Festival Gala very much, maybe in their 00 eyes, the Spring Festival Gala was already something that the older generation of people saw. Of course, because I insisted on watching it, Jasmine and Xueqi only accompanied me, and when they put a few sketches and magic tricks, Jasmine and Xueqi were also happy, of course, Jasmine and Xueqi were not interested in singing and dancing performances. When a few children came on stage to perform, Jasmine also said, "Childish." ”

The Spring Festival Gala will be held after 12 o'clock, Xueqi and Jasmine are children, they can't stay up late, and they fall asleep in bed before 11 o'clock, while I took some beer alone, got peanuts and roast duck to eat by myself.

As I watched, my eyelids fought, my head rested on the pillow, and I fell asleep.

Another year, and that's it.

Seriously, life is in the world, and life really flies by very quickly,

Big things have passed, and it's just a blink of an eye.

Most of the time, people are lonely.

Whether it's a lonely criminal in prison or a high-ranking person sitting in the office, they are all lonely after all.

Everyone has a lonely soul. Everyone is like a raindrop falling from the sky, coming with great momentum, turning into a splash when it lands, and there is no trace.

Another year has passed like this, my age has increased by another year, Xueqi has also grown by a year, she has begun to break away from the age of little Lori, and has taken another big step towards a pure and lively girl. And, of course, there is Jasmine, who is finally 12 years old, the stage at which a person's mind begins to take shape, and it is also the stage when the best time of life is welcomed.

In the days after the Spring Festival, there were basically no major events in our family.

After Jasmine came to my house, she got along very well with Xueqi, and I was worried that Jasmine would infect Xueqi with her vices at first, but I was more relieved that Jasmine was still relatively restrained at home, and she didn't say foul words casually. Actually, the conditions of my family are excellent, Xueqi and I are not bad to her, and she has nothing to complain about or scold.

Jasmine's first week at my house, we all lived quite peacefully, and as time went by, Xueqi also got used to Jasmine being a "little female worker", every time Jasmine wanted to wash the dishes and chopsticks, Xueqi would no longer compete with Jasmine, but let Jasmine's temperament do it. Sometimes Xueqi also washes dishes with Jasmine.

Jasmine's hands-on ability is much stronger than Xueqi's, washing dishes, cooking or folding quilts, etc., are more active and better than Xueqi, I don't even need to say it.

I think Jasmine can be so independent because of her growth environment, Xueqi has lived with me since she was a child, because she is weak and delicate, I help her do many things, Xueqi has never been independent, so her hands-on ability is naturally not as good as Jasmine.

During the Spring Festival, three colleagues from the company got married and asked me to go for a wedding drink, but I excused myself on the grounds that I was out of town or collided with someone else's wedding wine. When others think that I am a big boss and go out in a beautiful scenery, they can't imagine that I am actually staying at home with two little girls whose hair has not yet grown.

When I was in my fourth year of junior high school, the results of my affinity with Jasmine came out. I went to the hospital alone to get the report. The results of the appraisal were both disappointing and relieved.

Jasmine, the DNA similarity with mine is only a few percentiles away, and we are indeed brother and sister.

At this point, Jasmine's identity is beyond doubt.

However, it is precisely because of this that I am even more troubled, since Jasmine is really my sister, then as an older brother, I have more or less responsibility to raise her.

That way, I was really stressed.

The night I learned the results of the affinity test, I called to tell the confinement about it, and the confinement said that it was expected and there was no surprise. Confinement still asked me to contact to see if anyone I knew would like to adopt Jasmine.

I said, "How could it be?"

Yuezi said, think about it again. She said let me think about it, I don't know some families who are okay, but their children have gone abroad or their son has passed away, and they want to adopt another child.

I thought about it and said, "Not really."

Yuezi said, then I may really have to take on the preparation of raising Jasmine. After all, Jasmine has lived in my house for a long time, and her relationship with me and Xueqi is deep, and even if she really wants to adopt her to someone else, she will not be able to accept it emotionally.

I said yes.

Yuezi said, in fact, the biggest problem now is still my problem, and my problem is mainly reflected in the future to form a family, in the future I will always have to get married and have children, when the time comes, I have to take care of too many people, I'm afraid it will be troublesome. And I still have a job, although Sanxin's development is relatively stable now, but I have to be busy a lot, and it is impossible to spend all my thoughts on taking care of children.

In the end, I said to Yuezi with emotion, if only you could come back. It's okay to take a little bit of the pressure off me.

Yuezi was silent for a moment and said, "Then why don't I come back?"

I hurriedly changed my words and said, forget it, I can handle it here, you take care of your studies first.

After that, I hung up the phone in a hurry, I owed more confinement money, and I didn't want her to delay her future because of Jasmine's affairs. Although Confinement can do everything well, the best thing Confinement does is the art aspect, and she should also develop in that direction, instead of coming back to take care of the children.

After hanging up the confinement phone, I thought about how to arrange Jasmine in the future. And the more I think about it, the more headaches I have, and I really can't think of a good way to do it other than live one day at a time.

That's how I started taking care of Jasmine and Xueqi at the same time.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, that is, on February 4th, Jasmine and Xueqi's winter vacation ended at the same time. Although it has been more than half a month since Jasmine came to my house, she still has to start school after all. Jasmine is starting the second half of the sixth grade of primary school, while Xueqi is starting the second half of the second semester of junior high school.

The day before school started, I took Jasmine out of the house, went to the stationery store to buy pencil cases, writing pens and schoolbag belts and other stationery, and then bought her a schoolbag, Jasmine said that her schoolbag was left in her hometown, probably thrown away by the old witch.

As for the winter vacation homework, Jasmine naturally didn't do it at all on the grounds that the homework book was not there, so I had no choice but to let her go.

After buying a purple schoolbag with a Mickey Mouse pattern for Jasmine, we went home, and then watched Xueqi and Jasmine tidy up the schoolbag together. Xue Qi also looked at Jasmine's new schoolbag curiously, to see how many pockets there were, what was the internal structure, and so on.

When I watched Jasmine carry her elementary school bag, I was really emotional, because she reminded me of when Xueqi was in elementary school, thinking that time really flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xueqi is already a junior high school student. Compared to Jasmine, who is an elementary school student, I have a special feeling.

Jasmine wasn't too nervous about the start of school, and didn't seem to be particularly looking forward to it. I asked Jasmine how her teacher was, but she told me that she hated her teacher because her homeroom teacher often asked them to crouch and stand facing the wall.

"It's me every time. When talking about the punishment object of the homeroom teacher, Jasmine also added.

"Why? Do you often argue with your classmates in class?"

Jasmine shook her head.

"I didn't bother to argue with them. ”

"Then why did your teacher punish you?"

Jasmine looked at me with some resentment and said, "Because they know that they have punished me, I don't have any parents to sue." So every time there was something in class, they would say I did it. ”

"I hate them. Jasmine said with a gloomy gaze.

"Don't use the word 'hate' anymore!" I gave Jasmine a gentle "chestnut", the so-called chestnut is to hook my fingers and tap her head, since Jasmine came to my house, I have used this every time I teach her a lesson, instead of slapping her.

"I just hate them. Jasmine repeated the sentence again, her little hand caressing the spot I had struck.

I smacked my lips, furrowed my eyebrows and said to her, "Then if you are bullied in school in the future, come back and tell me." I'm going to reason with your teacher. As long as it's not your fault first, I'm sure to help you. How's that?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Jasmine's eyes, but she looked at my face, and said with a tense face:

"Who wants you to help me!"

After saying that, she straightened her clothes and turned around, intending to go out.

Looking at Jasmine's little back, I could only shake my head helplessly.
