Chapter 115
Half a month later, Yu Xia and Gu Qingshi took Gu Dabao, bid farewell to their reluctant family members, and got on the train to the capital.

Long before returning to my hometown, all the things that should be dealt with in Xincheng were settled, and the basement where I paid three months' rent was returned, and only the old house in Xincheng remained. After all, I have been friends with my neighbors for so many years. When she has time, Yu Xia still wants to go back with Gu Qing to visit old friends.

After getting along for this period of time, Gu Dabao gradually became more relaxed in front of Yu Xia and Gu Qingshi. Although he still didn't talk much, he gradually became considerate.

Like this time in the car, Yu Xia had a little fever, Gu Qingshi went to the dining car to buy food for her, and Gu Dabao stayed by her side all the time.

The aunt next to him kept praising Gu Dabao, "You are considerate at such a young age, unlike the bastard in my family, if I don't get into trouble someday, then I will be content."

Gu Dabao didn't respond to being praised, but just nodded to the aunt.Yu Xia stroked his hair, "This kid has been sensible since he was a child. A few years ago, his father and I worked outside, leaving him alone in his hometown, which made him feel wronged."

"Oh, that's more to spend time with the children." The aunt smiled, "I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes. I think about that brat in my family every day I don't see him. How did you survive all these years?"

"Of course I want to, how can I not want to," Yu Xia endured a headache and took a sip of hot water, "During the two years when I just sent him back, I dreamed every day that the child was hungry and cold, but what can I do, the family is too poor to let go of the pot Now, think about children, if you don’t go out to earn some money, the whole family will go hungry.”

"Oh, they were all forced to do that."

Yu Xia cheered up and had a few conversations with the aunt, and Gu Qing came back with a lunch box full of rice and an enamel cup filled with ginger juice and brown sugar water.

"Come on, drink it while it's hot."

Yu Xia looked at him curiously, "Where did this ginger syrup come from?"

"When passing by a carriage, I saw a fellow villager with ginger in his luggage. I bought a piece of ginger from him, and borrowed a pot from the person in the dining car to cook it."

"Oh, this young man is really caring!" After praising Gu Dabao non-stop, the previous aunt was full of praise for Gu Qingshi.

The enthusiastic aunt chatted all the way, and the journey seemed to add a bit of joy. The three of them arrived at the station soon. They didn't go directly to the capital, but stopped and stopped all the way. A place to stay and have fun for a few days before leaving.

With Yu Xia and Gu Qingshi by his side, Gu Dabao's personality gradually became brighter.

When they came to the capital after playing for more than two months, it was already the end of December.As the end of the year approached, the streets and alleys were filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, and there were lights and festoons everywhere. With the help of the street office, the three of them rented a small yard. It was a one-story house with two rooms on the left and right. dining table.

On the first day of their stay, because it was too late, they hurriedly cleared out a room. It was already dark and there was no stove. Yu Xia was afraid that Gu Dabao would freeze, so she let him sleep with them in the in a room.

Gu Dabao's face turned red all of a sudden, he lowered his head and remained silent, even if Yu Xia asked him to go.

"Why are you standing here?" Gu Qingshi, who had just gone to check the door lock, came in from the door wearing a padded jacket, and instantly brought a gust of cold wind.

Gu Dabao couldn't help but sneezed.

"Let him sleep with us, this kid is too embarrassed." Yu Xia explained, "Don't stand still, go to bed quickly, don't freeze."

At this time, the small courtyard was full of kangs, and it was only cold in winter.Gu Qingshi heated up the kang early in the morning, so lying on the kang to sleep was very comfortable, Yu Xia sat on it covered with a quilt, and waved to the two of them.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Gu Qingshi squeezed Gu Dabao's neck with his big hand, picked him up by the back collar like a cat, until he put him on the kang.

As soon as Gu Dabao was put down, Yu Xia held up the quilt and covered him up, and stuffed a set of autumn clothes and long trousers inside, "Hurry up and put on, I'll keep you warm."

Gu Dabao hid himself under the quilt, slowly changed his clothes, moved like a caterpillar, and finally emerged.

At this time, Gu Qingshi had already changed his clothes, and the family of three put the clothes in the closet next to the kang, in three neat piles, Yu Xia couldn't help but smile knowingly with Gu Qingshi.

Yu Xia and Gu Qingshi were left and right, and Gu Dabao squeezed between them as if his acupuncture points had been tapped, and he didn't dare to move.Yu Xia stretched out her hand and patted his quilt in a vicious manner, causing Gu Dabao to suddenly move towards Gu Qingshi's direction in fright.Receiving Yu Xia's gaze, Gu Qing also intentionally teased his son, and snorted his hair with his hand, "Why, are you cold?"

Gu Dabao shook his head.

"Then go to sleep." Gu Qingshi went down to the ground in his slippers and turned off the lights.

After sitting in the car all day, Yu Xia fell asleep almost as soon as the lights were turned off.

Although Gu Qingshi was not used to having one more person by his side, he gradually felt sleepy when he heard Yu Xia's breathing.

Only Gu Dabao, who was lying between the two of them, didn't dare to move at all, until he heard the sound of even breathing from both sides, he raised his head, glanced left and right, and sighed a little.

The next morning, Gu Dabao was woken up by noises in the yard.

Yu Xia was hanging the curtains, saw him sitting up from the kang, and glanced at him, "Are you awake? There are porridge and steamed stuffed buns in the pot, wash your hands and eat when you wake up!"

"what time is it now?"

"Well... Let me see, it will be eleven o'clock in two minutes."

Gu Dabao almost jumped up from the bed.

It was the first time he had stayed in bed so late in such a big age.

"Why are you panicking?" Yu Xia laughed at him, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

"...No, I slept pretty well."

"Hmm." Yu Xia raised her eyebrows, but didn't try to poke him.

Gu Dabao washed his face completely, he was already a little awake, but after being chilled by the cold water, he was completely refreshed.Gu Qingshi was leading someone to install a radiator in the next room.

"Come and give me a hand." Gu Qing greeted.

Gu Dabao put away the towel and ran over immediately.

"This is your son?" The old master who was assembling the radiator glanced at Gu Dabao and asked casually.

"Well, my son."

"Is your family an only child?"

"No, there are three children in total, Dabao is the eldest, and there are two younger siblings in my hometown, who are twins."

"Good guy, twins are not common."

"Isn't it? My wife suffered a lot when giving birth to them."

"Well, being a parent, which one is easier? It's all for the children. When they grow up, all the blessings you enjoy will come later."

Gu Qing smiled, but didn't speak.

Gu Dabao, who had been listening from the sidelines, couldn't help but sneak a glance at him, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.As he got closer to the couple, some of the original prejudices gradually disappeared, and he began to slowly open his heart to accept them, and also thought about giving them... the issue of providing for the elderly.

But Gu Qingshi didn't say anything now, did he not believe that he would take care of them?
Gu Dabao stood there quietly lost in thought. At this moment, the old master had assembled the radiator and was calling Gu Qingshi to go over and test the water. When passing by Gu Dabao, he suddenly said, "Don't think too much."

Gu Dabao suddenly raised his head, but all he saw was Gu Qingshi's tall back.

"Dabao, come and eat!"

Yu Xia, who was standing by the window and had a panoramic view of the scene here, shouted, Gu Dabao washed his hands and went into the room, the dishes and chopsticks on the dining table were all set, glanced at Yu Xia, Gu Dabao moved his mouth silently.

"Don't think too much," after hanging the curtains, Yu Xia was sewing with a piece of cloth in her hand, which she bought in the old street when they passed by the place to play some time ago, "although it's about raising children to guard against old age, but me and your dad You have hands and feet, so you don't need to worry about it, you guys, as long as you can take care of yourself, it will save us worry."

Gu Dabao picked up the bowl and scrambled to take a few mouthfuls until he swallowed the food, then suddenly said, "I will support you."

Yu Xia paused, then shook her head, "We can't be with you forever. In the future, you will always get married and have children, and have your own little family. I don't want to be disliked by you when I get old."

"It's not annoying, I'll support you." Gu Dabao insisted.

"Well, I'll wait." Yu Xia smiled at him, then lowered her head and went to busy with the matter at hand.

Gu Dabao quietly looked at her busy figure, and secretly made the first and only decision in his life that made him firm in his life.

One day, the rented yard of Yu Xia's family had been cleaned out, and heating was installed in the two houses. Gu Qingshi even went to buy a truckload of coal and piled it in the backyard, which was enough to burn for a whole winter. .

When tidying up the new home, Yu Xia didn't forget to go to the nearby school to inquire about the situation, and initially decided to send Gu Dabao to school next semester.The weather was getting colder every day, Yu Xia didn't want Gu Qingshi to go out to work in winter, so he asked him to teach Gu Dabao at home.

One taught and the other listened. After exercising and eating every day, he was studying. By the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Gu Dabao had already finished his third grade elementary school courses.

Originally, Yu Xia and the others had installed a heater in the house and dug through the walls. The landlord came to collect money, but they stood outside the window and listened to Gu Qingshi's class for a long time, and discussed with Yu Xia that afternoon about the money for digging the walls. There is no need to pay, and even the rent of their family will not be charged in the future. Can you send your precious grandson to class.

Yu Xia didn't expect that the landlord had heard this for a long time, so she had to explain to him that Gu Qing didn't go to high school when he was in junior high school, because his family refused to let him drop out of school, and he was self-taught all these years.Unexpectedly, the landlord not only didn't mind this matter, but also praised and praised Gu Qingshi, bluntly saying that he could learn this by self-study, if he didn't drop out of school back then, he would be very capable now!From what it looked like, he planned to send his grandson over the next day.

Fortunately, the landlord was agitated and had a sense of propriety. After discussing with Yu Xia for three days before coming back, he left with a happy face.
