Chapter 306 - 0306: Choose One From Two 2_1
At this moment, Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng entered one after the other. The former was holding a bowl of dumplings, the latter a bowl of porridge, both bowls steaming and releasing an appetizing aroma.
Lu’s father called out, "Brother Song, let’s eat first. We can discuss the child’s situation after the meal."
This time, Old Song didn’t decline. He took the chopsticks handed over by Feng Qingxue, ate a dumpling, and fed Gangzi with a spoon of porridge.
Who knows whether Gangzi hadn’t seen dumplings before or hadn’t eaten them before, but all his attention was on the savory and sticky white porridge. He didn’t even give a glance to the dumplings. He sipped the porridge, smacking his lips delightfully.
The lamb and cabbage stuffed dumplings were so fragrant! They had thin skin, generous filling, and were richly flavoured. Having not tasted meat for many years, Old Song was initially able to hold himself back, but once a dumpling reached his stomach, he couldn’t resist his craving any longer. He wolfed down, finishing the dumplings in no time, even drinking the dumpling soup at the bottom of the bowl and contentedly belched.
A bowl of porridge also filled up Gangzi, his eyes finally showing a bit of shine.
Feng Qingxue’s heart softened, she called her sister to bring a hard fruit candy to him. The little fellow was so delighted that his eyes squinted, and he finally spat out his first sentence since arriving at the Lu family, "So sweet!"
Old Song seemed to see a ray of hope, and looked forward to Feng Qingxue with anticipation, "Gangzi is really well-behaved, not naughty at all."
"I know." Feng Qingxue felt pity for this parentless child. Although she could afford to keep him, it wasn’t a situation that could be resolved just by having the means. She couldn’t deal with the potential problems this situation would bring, and it seemed unrealistic for Old Song to bring Gangzi back, "How about I report it to the military?"
Song Dazhu was a martyr, the state would certainly have a solution. Even by rules and regulations, they could arrange for Gangzi’s livelihood appropriately.
