Chapter Seven Got Daddy and Mommy

  Qiumeng'er didn't understand the forms of the 1970s at all. In their past life, the Qiu family lived in the UK before 1980, and most of their industries were also abroad.

  The Guo family didn't return to China until the 80s, when the old master wanted to go back to his hometown. They gradually moved their overseas businesses back home and the members of the main branch of the Guo family also returned from abroad.

  It can be said that no one in the Qu family has experienced life in China before the 1980s. So, Qu Meng'er only had a rough understanding of the living standards of ordinary people in China in the 1970s when she studied modern Chinese history and economics.

  And for China in the 70s, the deepest impression on Qiumeng was poverty, backwardness, and nothing else. Of course, there's also the development of finance and economy. Who let Qiumeng roll around in money in her past life?

  Now, Qu Meng'er is personally in the 1970s and has just discovered that the standard of living in the 1970s is really poor to the point where she can't believe it. This kind of standard of living was something that Qu Meng'er from her past life had never even thought of.

  She's quite adaptable, after all. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

  Qiumeng'er spent a week like this, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating. Of course, during this week, when Qiumeng'er was asleep, her divine consciousness had entered the space for most of the time.

  She was in the study of the space, looking at the books on the bookshelf. Originally, Qiu Meng'er thought about going to the supermarket in the Qiu Shi department store in the space to see if there were any books introducing medicinal herbs. However, before she could act, she found a thread-bound book describing medicinal herbs on the bookshelf.

  What made Gu Meng'er's teeth ache was that she actually saw many ancient medical books on this bookshelf, which she had only heard of but didn't exist. Like "Huangdi Neijing", "Wai Jing".

  These books, they are all on the bookshelf, and Qiumeng'er took one out to take a look, only to find that it was actually an original copy. At that time, Qiumeng'er was guessing: "Will these ancient medical books be lost because they were all collected by the previous owner of this space?"

  Gu Meng'er thought about it more and felt that this was indeed the case. If these ancient medical books were hidden in this portable space, who could find them in this world? Of course, except for her and the previous owner of this space.

  Now that nothing can be done, even in real life, Qi Meng'er, who has no self-care ability, is passing the time with a basic medical book in space.

  It was a rare day off, and the villagers didn't go to work, they all stayed at home to rest. Chen Ping and Liu Juan, husband and wife, were also at home, taking advantage of this break to clean up their house.

  This week, Qiu Meng'er also roughly understood some information. The village she is in now is called Chenjiacun. In Chenjiacun, most of the families are surnamed Chen, and a small number of people who do not have the surname Chen are all knowledgeable people from the city.

  Some educated youth, because they had been in the village for a long time, also settled down and started families there, and were considered to have put down roots in the village.

  Qiumeng is now in this house, Chen Ping is a native of Chenjia Village. Liu Juan's mother's family is in the neighboring village, and her mother's family is not far from her husband's family.

  Originally, Liu Juan's family did not agree to marry her off to Chen Ping. Because Chen Ping had lost his parents early on and was raised by his older brother and sister. The family conditions were also not very good. Liu Juan's parents were afraid that their daughter would suffer if she married into the Chen family.

  However, Liu Juan had taken a liking to Chen Ping at first sight and insisted on marrying him. In the end, Liu's parents had no choice but to agree with their daughter's wishes and let her marry Chen Ping.

  Fortunately, Chen Ping is a good person, willing to work hard, down-to-earth, and treats Liu Juan well, so her parents feel at ease.

  "Eh, big brother, big sister, how did you come?" Just as Qu Meng'er was lying on the bed, sorting out the information she had gathered bit by bit, or rather, eavesdropped, she heard Chen Ping's voice outside.

  Gu Meng'er heard Chen Ping say "Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law." Her mind turned for a moment before she remembered who this Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law were.

  "Big brother, big sister-in-law. You guys hurry up and come in to sit for a while." Liu Juan also stopped what she was doing and invited Chen Ping's older brother and sister-in-law.

  "Xiao Juan, I won't beat around the bush with you either. I heard from villagers that you and Xiao Ping have adopted a daughter?" Chen Ping's sister-in-law, Cai Yu, was a straightforward person who spoke directly.

  Liu Juan didn't expect that Chen Ping's elder brother and sister-in-law had come for this matter. "Yes, sister-in-law, we are thinking of adopting a daughter. However, this matter has not been settled yet. We have to wait for the village head, and if the village head can't find the child's parents, then we can adopt her." Liu Juan said, pausing for a moment before continuing: "Sister-in-law, let me show you the child, she looks really good." With that, Liu Juan went inside and picked up Qu Meng'er from the bed.

  "Xiao Ping, what are you thinking? Your family's life is not easy now, and you still have two young children at home. You're going to adopt another girl?" It was clear that Chen Ping's older brother, Chen Tao, did not approve of his younger brother adopting another child.

  "Brother, I know what you mean, but if possible, Xiaojuan and I still want to adopt this child. You also know that Xiaojuan and I have always wanted a daughter. However, last time Xiaojuan gave birth to Xiao Xuan, her body was hurt. I don't want Xiaojuan to suffer again either. Plus, this child is really well-behaved. So, Xiaojuan and I were thinking, if possible, we would adopt her." These past few days of interaction have made Chen Ping develop feelings for Qiu Meng'er, who isn't even his daughter yet. Now that he has to send Qiu Meng'er away, he's really reluctant to do so.

  This conversation between adults was all heard by Qiumeng, she didn't expect that Chen Ping's brother and sister-in-law came for her sake.

  "Big brother, sister-in-law, this is the child. He's grown up so well and is especially well-behaved. He's really likable." Liu Juan handed the child over to Chen Tao and Cai Yu for them to see.

  Cai Yu was also a rare child. As soon as she saw Qu Meng'er's white and tender appearance, she became fond of her. "Xiao Juan, this child is really well-behaved, more beautiful than those children in our village," Cai Yu said, teasing Qu Meng'er.

  "Not at all, my home country is Huaxia, and Huaxuan can like this little sister. Usually when we go to work, these two little rascals are responsible for taking care of their little sister." Liu Juan adjusted her posture holding Qu Meng'er, making Qu Meng'er more comfortable.

  "Is Kohei at home?" Just as they were talking in the house, a voice calling out from outside echoed.

  "It sounds like the village chief's voice." Chen Ping said to his brother: "Brother, I'll go open the door."

  "Go." Chen Tao said, his eyes also glanced at Meng Er. He thought to himself: "This kid really is quite good-looking."

  "Xiao Juan, it's the village chief who has arrived. Give the village chief a glass of water to drink." Chen Ping called out to Liu Juan as he walked into the house with the village chief.

  "Good." Liu Juan handed the Qiu Meng'er in her hand over to her elder sister-in-law Cai Yu to hold.

  But when Ju Meng'er heard Chen Ping say that the village chief had arrived, she knew that the moment to decide her future departure had come. Although, with the portable space, Ju Meng'er felt much more at ease. At least, no matter where she went, she wouldn't starve to death.

  However, when the moment of decision arrived, her heart still involuntarily rose. She didn't know that if the village head brought news of her biological parents, what would happen to her future life.

  "Village head, how is it?" Liu Juan's heart was also tense. She helped the village head pour water and then asked eagerly.

  Chen Ping didn't say a word, looking calm and collected. But only he himself knew that his heart was racing with anxiety.

  "We sent people to ask around and also went to look for them. But no one heard that any family in the neighborhood had lost a child. So, this kid, if you want to adopt him, then just raise him." The village chief said after taking a sip of water.

  Upon hearing the village chief's words, Qu Meng'er let out a deep sigh of relief. Alright, her future outings were now settled.

  Chen Ping and Liu Juan both had smiles on their faces, and their tense nerves relaxed.

  "I came today, apart from telling you this matter, also to say that if you really plan to adopt this child, then follow me later to handle the formalities. The village chief is not doing this out of kindness, he is completely doing it for himself, he is afraid that Chen Ping and his wife will regret it later. At that time, they will have to hand over the child to him to deal with. How will he deal with it?"

  "Alright, alright, I'll go with you to handle the formalities." Chen Ping excitedly stood up and said.

  So, Qu Meng'er, no, it should be Chen Meng'er now. She has officially become a member of the Chen family. Become the daughter of Chen Ping and Liu Juan, the younger sister of Chen Haoguo and Chen Huanxuan.

  Chen Meng'er has a father and mother.
