Chapter 275 Recognition of relatives
Xie Xingchuan looked clear at this time and looked at Zhang Yunniang with shocked eyes.
Zhang Yunniang looks very capable, and she doesn't look like a bad cook. Xie Xingchuan is puzzled at this time.
Niu Niu had a bitter look on her face at this time, and she swallowed the unpleasant food that was on her lips. While eating, she coaxed herself: "One porridge and one meal, remember that it is hard-earned..."
Although she forced herself to eat it, the expression on her face was even uglier than crying.
Xie Xingchuan originally wanted to spit it out, but seeing the six-year-old Niu Niu forcefully swallowing, he could only continue swallowing with a grimace.
Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang had never eaten anything so unpalatable during the most difficult time in their lives. At this time, Gu Mingda finally understood the strange words of the middle-aged man.
It’s really hard to believe that there are still people in this world who can make normal ingredients so unpalatable.
"Let's go back together in a while. We can't buy food like this from our next door neighbor again at noon." Gu Mingda said this, which was regarded as clearing Zhang Yunniang's grievances.
Xie Xingchuan was quietly relieved when he heard that it was the food brought by his neighbor.
The four people adhered to the principle of not wasting and finished the food on the table with difficulty.
Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang looked at Xie Xingchuan together.
For some reason, Xie Xingchuan felt inexplicably guilty when being stared at by these two people and wanted to lower his head.
"I also heard from the old lady yesterday that you are not willing to tell the reason for leaving home. In that case, we won't ask any more questions." Gu Mingda said proactively.
Xie Xingchuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Mingda added: "But you are only twelve years old, and your Aunt Zhang and I can't help watching you live in confusion outside."
Before Xie Xingchuan said anything, Niu Niu said: "And me! And me!"
Niu Niu tugged on Xie Xingchuan's sleeve and said, "I can't watch my brother being so messy. I also have to take care of him."
Xie Xingchuan looked at the worried look in the little girl's eyes and couldn't help but touch Niu Niu's hair.
"Your Aunt Zhang and I have discussed it. We are asking for help and want to marry you. If you want, you can call us godfather and godmother." Gu Mingda said the result of his discussion with Zhang Yuniang last night.
Zhang Yuniang couldn't help but think of her second son when she saw Xie Xingchuan. Gu Mingda was also grateful for Xie Xingchuan's life-saving grace. If Xie Xingchuan was directly asked to go home with them, Xie Xingchuan would definitely not be happy.
If you have a status, these words will be easier to say.
Xie Xingchuan did not expect that the two of them had such plans. He said softly: "You are not short of sons."
He does not want to accept sympathy from others casually.
If Zhang Yuniang is best at taking care of children, then Gu Mingda is best at coaxing them.
"We don't lack a son, but we lack a son as powerful as you." Gu Mingda said.
Xie Xingchuan looked at him puzzled.
Gu Mingda continued: "My eldest son is a scholar, and my youngest son is a doctor. I hope that I will have a son who will practice martial arts. I still remember that day on the boat. Brother Xie used a spear and danced with great force. I saw him once, and I will never forget it. Lose."
Xie Xingchuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly as he recalled the hardships he had endured over the years to practice martial arts.
"Brother Xie, I haven't seen you play with a gun yet. Can you show it to me?" Niu Niu asked from the side.
Xie Xingchuan said softly: "Okay, I will show you later."
Niu Niu immediately cheered: "Okay, I have another brother!" Xie Xingchuan wanted to say that he only agreed to play with guns and did not agree to be Gu Mingda's son.
But when he turned his head, he saw Gu Mingda and his wife looking at him with pleading eyes.
Xie Xingchuan hesitated for a moment and said helplessly: "Okay, anyway, I don't have a godfather or godmother..."
Niuniu cheered again: "Brother Xie will also be an older brother from now on. Only if he likes my parents and me will he become a family with us!"
When Xie Xingchuan heard this, he wanted to refute, but when he saw the little girl cheering for joy, he had no choice but to shut up. Forget it, he just thought he liked them very much and was trying to make the little girl happy.
After deciding on the status, Gu Mingda immediately invited Xie Xingchuan to live in the Gu family's house while the iron was hot.
Xie Xingchuan's head suddenly shook like a rattle.
"I just bought a house, and I haven't lived enough by myself yet. I don't want to move there..." Although Xie Xingchuan recognized his godfather and stepmother, secretly, he still didn't feel like they were a family, and they were still strangers to each other.
Gu Mingda had taken care of Xie Xingchuan on the ship for so long, but he knew the child's temperament better, and said, "Speaking of which, things are not peaceful around my house these days. We really need a powerful little general to help us control the town."
Xie Xingchuan immediately became energetic when he heard that he was helping the Gu family.
Zhang Yunniang gave Niu Niu another look.
Niu Niu immediately grabbed Xie Xingchuan's sleeve and entangled him: "Brother, just come back with us. If you don't stay together, I'm afraid."
After the little girl said this, Xie Xingchuan immediately softened his heart and walked down the **** and said, "I... I will only stay with you for a while. If there is no Xiaoxiao nearby, I will move back again."
Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
Although Xie Xingchuan was young, his character had already been developed. He agreed to live with them, but insisted on paying money for accommodation and food.
This kid became stubborn, and Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang were unable to do anything against him.
But Niuniu said: "Brother, isn't he here to protect us? How come he's here to stay overnight?"
Gu Mingda's eyes lit up and he immediately followed his daughter's words and said: "Yes, Xingchuan, you are here to protect us. It is our duty to provide for your food and accommodation. Speaking of which, we should also give you extra As for the money, after all, hiring someone to protect you not only includes food and accommodation, but also a large amount of money."
When Xie Xingchuan heard this, he was so anxious that he almost jumped up: "I don't want any money! Now that I have recognized my godfather and godmother, how can I still want money for doing such a small thing?"
Gu Mingda couldn't help but laugh again, and followed his words and said: "Yes, now that you have recognized your godfather and godmother, why do you still have to pay for food and accommodation?"
Xie Xingchuan couldn't find a reason to refute for a while.
Niu Niu dragged him out again: "Go back quickly, go back quickly, I will ask my sister to make delicious food for you. Let me tell you, the food made by my sister is really good!"
Xie Xingchuan felt strange when he heard this and said, "Sister, do you still have a sister?"
Niuniu couldn't tell Shuying's name, so she could only say: "She's not my real sister, but another sister who is very good to me."
Zhang Yuniang explained: "She is the maid at home."
Only then did Xie Xingchuan understand.
When they are brought back, they will tell the Gu family the whole story.
Mrs. Gu clapped her hands and said, "Okay! Yesterday I was thinking that it would be inappropriate for this child to live alone, but you two should be considerate! Good child, when you come to our place, don't be restrained, just treat it as your own home!"
