Because it's summer vacation, children are running around energetically at the housing construction site.
Since there are so many family members, only those who were nearby when Gigi said 'Going out for lunch' will be allowed to accompany her.
But Lily was with us, yet she was left at home.
Jian and Jinny came along today.
It's been a long time since they've eaten at such a large restaurant, and the two of them are curious to see what Gigi has ordered.
'What's coming?'.
And with the feast laid out, Gian was in high spirits.
Jinny is the youngest child and a very lively and tomboyish girl.
She's always singing loudly and running around excitedly, but then she challenges her older sisters and brothers and ends up crying.
But it's strange how quiet the house is when these two aren't around.
Actually, these two are the only ones who always call me 'Daddy'.
I looked up the meaning of 'father' for the first time today in my electronic dictionary.
So, I haven't introduced these two yet, have I?
Actually, Gigi's mother adopted her.
Apparently, her previous parents were very unhappy, as she suffered violence from her father and was abandoned by her mother.
Then, the father died of illness, and the mother disappeared.
So Gigi's mother took him in.
But in this country, whoever can take care of things takes care of them, and right now Gigi is taking care of them.
I haven't decided yet what to do with Gigi and these kids.
Returning Gigi to her mother is an option. Another option is to continue taking care of her until she becomes an adult.
And if Gigi doesn't have children, we could consider adopting them ourselves.
