It didn't take long for the children to freshen up and show up in the living room.

The living room suddenly became lively.

These children look like they are all eight or nine years old, but they are actually eleven or twelve years old, and their nutritional status is very poor, which affects their physical development.

The boys are all dressed in military uniforms, and the girls are dressed in Misha's clothes.

There were six boys and three girls.

"Thank you very much, sir, I don't know how to show it, if you can, please accept our allegiance." It seemed that they had already discussed, and standing in the living room, spoke on everyone's behalf.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Europe still retained some of the customs of feudal society. The aristocratic families of this era still retained their own stewards and servants, and although the official status of these servants was citizens, they were actually the same as those of feudal society.

"And, and me!" Hearing say this, Giraldine struggled to break free from Anne's arms and stand with and them.

Anne hugged Girardin tightly, waiting for Qin Zhiyuan's response.

"No, I don't need you like this, if you want to repay me, then growing up healthy and happy, being a useful person to society is the best reward for me." Qin Zhiyuan is not a high-profile singer, as a former orphan, Qin Zhiyuan looks at Giraldine and Heyman as if they were his younger brothers and sisters.

Hearing Qin Zhiyuan say this, the children were in a commotion, and the eyes of the two little girls were even more teary. They are all street children, they don't know how long they have been wandering, they are afraid of being abandoned, they are afraid of leaving here and wandering again, and they do not hesitate to sell themselves into slavery in order to have a home.

"Sir, please accept our insignificant sincerity. That's all we have now. stopped the children's commotion with a stern look and insisted on his offer.

"It's impossible, it's the 20th century, there's no such thing as allegiance." Qin Zhiyuan has his own bottom line in his heart, his generation can be gray or dark, but Qin Zhiyuan hopes that his next generation will be sunny, whether it is a child of the East or a child of the West.

"Qin, if you want, you can adopt them as adopted sons." Mary made a suggestion.

The adopted son is similar to the meaning of "godson" in the East, and it is definitely not the meaning of "goddaughter".

"Oh my God, Qin is not married yet, is there going to be so many adopted sons all at once?" Julie didn't feel good, she didn't want to have so many adopted children at once.

Anne glared at Julie fiercely, blaming Julie for being open-mouthed.

"It's better to be like this, Qin, you can be their godfather." Foch makes a practical suggestion.

The Godfather, not the "Godfather" in novels and movies, but the real Godfather. The original meaning of the church father was that a person who, when an infant or toddler was baptized, was given a Christian name and undertook to undertake his religious education. Over time, the meaning of "godfather" was further clarified, and those who left their names in the history of Christianity were honored as godfathers.

Foch's proposal refers to godfathers in the original sense, which is equivalent to letting Qin Zhiyuan act as the guardian of these children to some extent.

"That's a good idea, would you?" Qin Zhiyuan also has an identity as an "angel", and it is most suitable to serve as the "godfather" of these children.

"Dad......" Gilardin rushed over with tears in his eyes, hugged Qin Zhiyuan and cried.

"Father!"

"Daddy!"

The children all changed their names towards Qin Zhiyuan, they were all very excited, from today onwards, they finally had a firm protector in this world.

The terms "father" and "daddy" have a special meaning within Christianity. "Papa" is generally used only to address the Pope, while "Father" is used in a wide range of applications to ordinary Christians, such as the abbots of monasteries, cardinals and bishops of the regions.

As for why the children call Qin Zhiyuan "Dad", it is probably because in their young hearts, Qin Zhiyuan's status is equivalent to the existence of the Pope.

"Well, don't cry, if you cry again, you'll become a little cat." Qin Zhiyuan clumsily coaxed Gilardin.

For the first time in his life, he was called "Dad", and Qin Zhiyuan had a very special feeling for these children in his heart. Although this kind of relationship has no blood relationship, it feels that the feelings contained in it are as strong and powerful, so that Qin Zhiyuan's hands tremble slightly.

A bitter scene was being staged in the living room, and Pierre picked up Julie's sister over there, and everyone finally arrived. Julie's sister-in-law is now staying with her parents, Julie's eldest brother has died, they have no children, and now Julie's sister-in-law is tantamount to reverting to singleness.

Julie's sister is called Natalie, and like her name, Natalie was born at Christmas. Natalie had a two-year-old little girl, who looked very cute in pink and jade, and Anne liked it very much, and Anne would not let go of her hand, and kicked Napoleon far away by the way.

"You're Qin?" Natalie is curious about Qin Zhiyuan.

"Yes, nice to meet you, Natalie." Qin Zhiyuan is enthusiastic.

Natalie's appearance is similar to that of Julie, she is a little more mature than Julie, and her figure is a little better. Julie herself has a good figure, and Natalie is even more exaggerated.

"I've heard a lot about you, and you have to treat Lily well. Otherwise, I won't let you go, I'll keep an eye on you. During the veneer ceremony, Natalie warned in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.

French people usually meet with a veneer, sometimes twice, sometimes three, and sometimes four. Veneers are just veneers, and then the mouth will make a kissing sound, but in fact it is not a direct kiss. Compared with the handshake ceremony, the veneer ceremony is more intimate.

"All right, children, now, let's thank the Lord for the gift of sharing this abundant food." Foch had a strong Catholic imprint on him, and he was happy to see it happen.

"Come on, kids, dinner is ready." Mary is now equivalent to Qin Zhiyuan's big butler, beckoning the children to the table to eat.

On the table, there is a wide variety of food.

A variety of dishes from Da Fu Wei Restaurant, potato stew and roast chicken from Anne, chicken stew with mushrooms, boiled eggs with brown sugar and millet porridge from Chef Wang, and weapon-grade bread from Pierre's own hand.

Surprisingly, Pierche's bread is the most popular with children, and the children agree that there is a taste of "love" in Pierche's bread and that they can feel the warmth of family.

Before that, these children had been wandering for a long time, and they had suffered enough. Children have fully felt the cruelty of society, felt the darkest side of human nature, and what children need now is a home that can shelter them from the wind and rain, a home that can make them no longer displaced and frightened.

Thankfully, they now have a godfather.
