Chapter 275 Recognition of Relatives
Xie Xingchuan looked clear-headed at this time, and looked at Zhang Yunniang with shocked eyes.
Zhang Yunniang looked very capable, and she didn't look like someone who could cook bad food. Xie Xingchuan was puzzled at this time.
Niuniu had a bitter face at this time, and she swallowed the bad food that was about to come to her mouth. While eating, she coaxed herself: "Every porridge and every meal should be appreciated as it is not easy to come by..."
Although she forced herself to eat it, the expression on her face was even uglier than crying.
Xie Xingchuan wanted to spit it out, but seeing that the six-year-old Niuniu was swallowing it forcibly, he could only swallow it with a bitter face.
Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang had never eaten such bad food during the most difficult times in their lives. Gu Mingda finally understood the strange words of the middle-aged man at this time.
It's really hard for someone in this world to make normal ingredients so bad.
"Let's go back together later. We can't buy such food from the neighbors next door for lunch." Gu Mingda said this to clear Zhang Yunniang's grievances.
Xie Xingchuan was relieved when he heard that the food was from the neighbors.
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.
Xie Xingchuan didn't know why he was stared at by the couple, and he always felt guilty and wanted to lower his head.
"I also heard from the old lady yesterday that you didn't want to talk about the reason for leaving home. In this case, we won't ask too much." Gu Mingda took the initiative to say.
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 bear to see you living a muddled life alone outside."
Before Xie Xingchuan could say anything, Niu Niu said, "And me! And me!"
Niu Niu pulled Xie Xingchuan's sleeve and said, "I can't bear to see my brother messing around like this, I have to take care of him, too."
Xie Xingchuan looked at the worried look in the little girl's eyes and couldn't help but touch Niu Niu's hair.
"I discussed with your aunt Zhang, and we want to marry you. If you are willing, you can call us godfather and godmother." Gu Mingda said the result of his discussion with Zhang Yunniang last night.
Zhang Yunniang couldn't help but think of her second son when she saw Xie Xingchuan, and Gu Mingda was also grateful for Xie Xingchuan's life-saving grace. If he directly asked Xie Xingchuan to go home with them, Xie Xingchuan would definitely not be happy.
If there was a name, these words would be easier to say.
Xie Xingchuan didn't expect that the two of them actually planned like this, and he said softly, "You don't lack sons."
He didn't want to accept other people's sympathy casually.
If Zhang Yunniang is the best at taking care of children, then Gu Mingda is the best at coaxing children.
"We don't lack sons, 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 am looking forward to having a son who practices martial arts. I still remember that day on the boat, Brother Xie danced with a long spear, and I couldn't forget it after seeing it once."
Xie Xingchuan recalled the hardships he had suffered for practicing martial arts for so many years, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
"Brother Xie, I haven't seen you play with a spear yet. Can you show me?" Niuniu asked on the side.
Xie Xingchuan said softly: "Okay, I'll show you later."
Niuniu immediately cheered: "Great, I have another brother!"
Xie Xingchuan wanted to say that he only agreed to play with a spear, and did not agree to be Gu Mingda's son.
But when he turned around, he saw that Gu Mingda and his wife were 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 be a brother in the future. He likes me and my parents, so he will treat us as a family!"
Xie Xingchuan wanted to refute when he heard this, but seeing the little girl cheering, he could only shut up helplessly. Forget it, just think that I like them very much and just think that I am trying to make the little girl happy.
After the status was determined, Gu Mingda immediately took advantage of the opportunity to invite Xie Xingchuan to live in the Gu family house.
Xie Xingchuan immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"I just bought a house, and I haven't lived alone enough. I don't want to move there..." Although Xie Xingchuan recognized his godfather and godmother, he still didn't feel that they were a family in his heart, and they were still unfamiliar with each other.
Gu Mingda had taken care of Xie Xingchuan on the boat for so long, so he knew the child's temper better. He said, "Speaking of which, there has been some unrest near my home recently. We really need a powerful little general to calm it down for us."
When Xie Xingchuan heard that he was going to help the Gu family, he immediately became energetic.
Zhang Yunniang gave Niuniu another look.
Niuniu immediately grabbed Xie Xingchuan's sleeve and said to him, "Brother, just go back with us. I'm scared if you don't live with us."
After the little girl said that, Xie Xingchuan immediately softened his heart and said, "I... I will only stay with you for a while. If there are no scoundrels nearby, I will move back to live."
Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Although Xie Xingchuan was not very old, he had already developed a good character. He agreed to live with them, but insisted on paying for accommodation and food.
This kid was stubborn, and Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang had no way to deal with him for a while.
But Niuniu said, "Brother, didn't you come here to protect us? How did you become a guest?"
Gu Mingda's eyes lit up, and he immediately followed his daughter's words and said, "Yes, Xingchuan, you are here to protect us, and it is our responsibility to pay for your food and accommodation. In fact, we should give you extra money. After all, hiring a guard not only covers food and accommodation, but also requires a large sum of money."
Hearing this, Xie Xingchuan was so anxious that he almost jumped up: "I don't want money! Since you have recognized your godfather and godmother, how can you still ask for money for doing such a small thing!"
Gu Mingda couldn't help laughing again, and followed his words and said, "Yes, since you have recognized your godfather and godmother, why do you have to pay for food and accommodation?"
Xie Xingchuan couldn't find a reason to refute for a while.
Niuniu pulled him out again: "Go back quickly, go back quickly, I'll let my sister make you something delicious, I tell you, the food my sister makes is delicious!"
Xie Xingchuan felt strange again when he heard this, and said: "Sister, do you have a sister?"
Niuniu couldn't say Shuying's name, so she could only say: "Not my biological sister, but another sister who treats me very well."
Zhang Yunniang explained: "She is a maid at home."
Xie Xingchuan finally understood.
After taking the person back, tell the old couple of the Gu family the whole story.
Old Mrs. Gu clapped her hands and said: "Good! Yesterday I thought it was not right for this child to live alone, and you two are so thoughtful! Good child, don't be restrained when you come to our place, just treat it as your own home!"
