Chapter 75
Before dawn on the second day, Gu Ran suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up and looked at the environment of the room, and then looked down at the clean clothes on his body. His nose was a little sore. It turned out that it was not a dream.

He put on his coat and gently opened the door. It was quiet outside and everyone was still sleeping.

Only the sound came from the kitchen.

Niu Shi and Zhang Shi are preparing breakfast.

Mrs. Zhang was about to go to the backyard to pull some vegetables, when she suddenly saw a man standing under the eaves, and she was startled, "You kid, don't make a sound, so you didn't scare me to death."

Mrs. Zhang patted her chest.

Gu Ran was at a loss in embarrassment, then bowed his hands and said to Mrs. Zhang, "I'm sorry, auntie, it's my fault."

"It's okay, it's okay, Miss Fourth said yesterday that I'll cook you some vegetable porridge this morning, hehe, go sit down, I guess everyone should get up."

Mrs. Zhang saw that he was polite and good-looking, that is, black and thin, so she called him to the main room, and then she went to the vegetable garden.

Gu Ran refused to be idle and silently followed behind Zhang Shi, helping her pull the vegetables.

Mrs. Zhang didn't say much when she saw this, thinking that this was also a poor little baby, and she probably felt embarrassed to live under the fence.

The two returned to the kitchen with the dishes. When Niu knew about it, he also praised Gu Ran for being sensible.

After cooking breakfast, everyone in the Dai family got up to wash up.

They all looked at Gu Ran curiously.

After Dai Qingyun washed up, he called Gu Ran to the main room.

"Why don't you sleep more, you still have energy now?"

Gu Ran nodded, and said shyly, "Thank you sister Qingyun, I'm fine."

Seeing that he seemed more timid than before, Dai Qingyun frowned slightly, "Where is Grandma Gu, why are you alone?"

"Grandma...she passed away." Gu Ran raised his head and glanced at Dai Qingyun, his voice choked with sobs, his hands clasped the side of the chair uncomfortably, and he looked very at a loss.

"What! How could it be?" Dai Qingyun couldn't help exclaiming, she thought that Grandma Gu was not too old, how could she pass away suddenly.

Gu Ran raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and wanted to say something else, Mrs. Lin and Mr. Dai came out, and the family was ready to eat.

Sitting together in the Dai family, Gu Ran felt a little cramped. It was Dai Qingyun who kept feeding him food so that he would be full, otherwise he would not dare to stretch out his chopsticks and could only eat porridge.

"Eat more, don't be shy." Sitting beside him, Li smiled and served him another bowl of porridge.

"Thank you, auntie." Gu Ran thanked in a low voice.

Dai Zhili looked at Gu Ran with a smile, "This kid is the same as the third child, hahaha."

"Brother, don't make fun of me." Dai Zhilian paused while eating, a little helpless, but Gu Ran's behavior was indeed very similar to his childhood.

"Okay, eat quickly, the boss will go to town with your father to help." Mrs. Lin reminded, "Today is the birthday of your father and his colleagues in the private school. When you go, behave properly, don't act like a child. Makes people groan."

"Understood mother." Now it was Dai Zhili's turn to be embarrassed, he laughed, why did he feel that mother seemed to be targeting him, why didn't he say the third child.

After breakfast, Lin asked Gu Ran to sit in the main room.

"Yun'er said you still have a grandma, why are you alone?" Lin sat on the chair beside him and poured him a glass of water.

Gu Ran looked at the old man in front of him, his eyes were red, and he thanked him before saying that his grandma had passed away.

"Then do you have a guide document?" Lin frowned slightly, Gu Ran was pitiful, but if there was no guide, it would be difficult.

"Yes, yes, grandma sewed Lu Yin into my clothes before she passed away." Gu Ran hurriedly touched her body, and then remembered to change her clothes.

"Oh, it's in the clothes. Fortunately, the clothes haven't been lost yet." After hearing this, Mrs. Li hurried out to get the clothes.

Gu Ran embarrassedly flipped through the tattered and dirty clothes, took out the road quotation document from inside and handed it to Mrs. Lin.

"My grandma and I came here a year ago. We wanted to settle here, but something happened. My grandma took me and left again. I didn't know where to go. My grandma passed away on the way."

Gu Ran softly talked about what happened to him in the past year, but this time his tears did not fall, "I had to bury her on the mountain, and I walked all the way back."

"I managed to get to the county in the past two days. Yesterday, a few people thought I was dirty, so they beat me..."

Gu Ran calmly didn't seem to be telling his story, maybe it was a series of blows, he was much more mature than last year.

Mrs. Li couldn't help wiping away her tears. Dai Qingyu and Dai Qingrong also had disbelief on their faces. Mrs. Sun also sighed when she heard this. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are simply unbearable for ordinary people.

"You are a good boy." Lin took a sip of tea, her face was a little moved, "Then what about your other family members, are they all separated?"

Gu Ran nodded, then shook his head again, "I don't know, it was midnight when grandma took me away, and there was only me, grandma and an uncle at home, and after walking for a long time, grandma just said to flee from famine, and uncle didn't know where he went , I don’t know anything else.”

Lin was a little puzzled when she heard this, "Then your parents never came to look for you?"

"I don't have parents. My grandma and uncle raised me since I was a child." Gu Ran pursed her lips and rubbed her sleeves uncomfortably.

Dai Qingyun felt a little uncomfortable. Gu Ran had suffered so much. He was not so thin last year, but now he really looks like someone who fled famine.

"Grandma, let Gu Ran stay at our house first, is that okay?" Dai Qingyun said softly, looking at Lin.

"No, no, don't bother, it's enough for my aunt and sister Qingyun to save me, and I will go to the town to find some work." Gu Ran stood up quickly, shaking his hands in a panic.

"You are so thin and small, you can find any job, just stay here." Lin's heart softened in the end, there is no big problem with a child, just wait to get him a household registration.

"I, I..." Gu Ran lowered his head, speechless.

"You just listen to grandma and stay here. If you faint from hunger outside again, then Yun'er and Si Auntie will save you for nothing." Dai Qingrong walked over suddenly, reached out and pressed him to sit down again. on the chair.

"Our family is good and will treat you well, don't worry." Dai Qingrong said to him with a smile.

Gu Ran blushed a little when she saw her smile at a close distance, but still didn't dare to agree.

"I'll re-register you in our house in two days, is that okay?" Mrs. Lin looked at him kindly.

"Gu Ran, just listen to us, or do you think our family is just a farmer?" Dai Qingyun looked at Gu Ran with a smile, "If nothing else, it's okay to keep you fed and clothed."

"No, I'm just, I..." Gu Ran couldn't speak clearly, he gritted his teeth, "I'm just afraid to trouble you too much."

"What's the trouble? It's not just a matter of multiple people having multiple chopsticks." Mrs. Li smiled, "After you complete the household registration, you will also be a member of our family."

"Is it really possible?" Gu Ran looked at Lin's cautiously, he somehow felt that Grandma Lin was just like his grandma, she looked serious, but she was better than anyone else!
Lin nodded with a smile, "From now on, you will live with Shiro, and Erlang can make do when he comes back."

"After two months, our house will also be expanded, so we don't have to worry about having no place to live."

"Thank you, Grandma Lin." Gu Ran couldn't hold back and started crying.

At this time, Shiro walked over from Sun's side and handed him his own small handkerchief, "Little brother, don't cry, Shiro will take you to play in the future."

Gu Ran looked at this little chubby boy who was stronger than himself, and smiled through tears, "Thank you."

In the past two years, he has lived and slept all the way, and he has not experienced such tenderness for a long time. At home, his grandmother rarely let him go out to play except for teaching him to read and write, and his uncle only taught him martial arts and rarely talked.

He can often see his peers playing outside from the low fence at home, and he also wants to go out to play, but grandma doesn't allow it.

His most fun is just a few wooden toys made for him by his uncle.

At this moment, his family members suddenly care about him. He who has been living tenaciously is not only happy, but also has many unknown emotions.

Seeing this, Dai Qingyun asked Shiro to take Gu Ran out to find friends in the village to play with.

No matter how sensible Gu Ran behaved, he was only a nine-year-old child.

"Go and play, don't go to the river." Lin told the two of them.

Gu Ran quickly followed Shiro after saluting to everyone.

"This child is poor. You usually care about him. Since you have decided to keep him, you should pay more attention to it." Lin said the second half of the sentence to Li. She knows that Li is easy to soften, but after all, adopting a Children are no small matter, you need to pay more attention to it.

Mrs. Li nodded again and again, "My daughter-in-law knows, this child is a peace of mind at first glance, all his food and clothing expenses come from my monthly silver buckle."

"The Dai family is short of this money?" Mrs. Lin looked at Mrs. Li speechlessly, "You still think I'm a black-hearted woman."

Dai Qingyun's three sisters couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Grandma, is it really okay for you to compare yourself like this!" Dai Qingyun laughed and burst into tears.

Mrs. Li sat in a chair and sneered, well, she said the wrong thing.

"Okay, let's all get busy. I'll also go to the backyard to look at the vegetable patch." Mrs. Lin waved to them, went to the kitchen and took a knife to go to the vegetable patch.

Dai Qingyun and Rong'er made an appointment to go to the back mountain to pick sand fruits to eat together, but Yu'er declined their invitation and went back to her room.

The two sisters arrived at the back mountain in a short time, and it was still cool at the moment without the sun.

The two tied up their trouser legs to prevent any snakes from crawling in, and sprinkled some medicinal powder on their feet.

"I heard from Dahua before that there are several clumps of sand fruit within a short distance. It's sour and sweet, and I've been craving it for a long time." Dai Qingrong smiled and held Yun'er.

"Is the basket you brought too big?" Dai Qingyun looked at the bamboo basket she was holding in her hand speechlessly, and it could hold two Chinese cabbages.

Shaguo is one by one, and I don't know how much it will take to fill this basket.

"Never mind, just pick as many as you want." Dai Qingrong walked in front of her in a few steps, no matter how much she had.
