dad in costume

Last year, his father and stepmother left in July, so it may not be enough to give food to grandparents.He knew that his family and his second uncle's family had to donate food and money to their grandparents every year, and he didn't know how they arranged this year.

As for his younger brother selling pigs for food, he also believed it, because this was something Li Aighui would do.Li Aizhong went back to the room, and told Yang Jie about the family's iron pot being taken away, and there was no food to eat in the big cafeteria.From Li Aizhong's point of view, it's also good to eat in a big canteen, after all, it doesn't worry about running out of food.

When they went to the big dining hall, there were already many people in the big dining hall.Seeing Li Aizhong, some recognized it and came forward to say hello. After all, Li Aizhong's military uniform was quite recognizable.

"Yo, this is back in love."

"You are back in love, you are promising, and patriotism is also promising."

Li Aizhong thought, what did his younger brother do to make people think he was promising?

"This is the daughter-in-law in love, she looks so handsome."

"Hello." Yang Jie greeted everyone with a smile.

"This is the daughter-in-law in love, she looks so beautiful."

"Yes, and it's polite, unlike some people in the city, whose nose is up to the sky."

"Although Daniu and Er Cui are gone, both Aizhong and Aiguo are promising."

"That is, one is an officer, the other is a teacher now, and maybe a doctor in the future."

"Speaking of which, our Li Family Village is also going to have a doctor."

Gu Xi brought Li Aizhong's family of three to the cafeteria for a meal: "Auntie, bring me a meal, and then pretend to give some to my son."

"Okay, patriotic, wait a moment."

"Thank you, auntie." Gu Xi turned back to Li Aizhong and said, "Brother, eating here is based on work points. If you don't have work points, you have to pay." Then he explained, "The work points of the day are paid for that day, so I don't have any extra I'll give you work points."

Li Aizhong nodded, he didn't mean to blame Gu Xi, he knew that this younger brother didn't work.

Lunch is not bad, it is noodles, with pickles and shredded pork.Gu Xi is a teacher, even if it is already a holiday, he still has 10 work points a day to receive food.Moreover, Lijiacun Primary School was doing very well, and Gu Xi went to night school nursing, so the people in the village were very polite to him.

For 10 work points a catty of grain, Gu Xi distributed it to Li Chengtu from his own grain. After the new year, Li Chengtu will be eight years old, and he will become more and more good at eating.

Li Aizhong and Yang Jie each ordered a bowl of noodles with pickled vegetables and shredded pork. A bowl of noodles cost 6 cents, and two bowls paid 1 cents.Li Chengwei was still young, and the gnocchi would choke him, so Yang Jie fed him some soup and shredded pork for him to eat, then chewed the gnocchi and fed him.

Have a good meal, everyone go home.

"Dad." Li Chengtu ran into Gu Xi's room, "Dad, can I take a nap in your room?"

"Of course, what's wrong?" Gu Xi asked.

"I...I don't want to go back to my room." Li Chengtu said.

Gu Xi patted his head: "This is your home, you don't have to be afraid of anyone, and you don't have to hide from anyone, understand? No matter what happens, Dad will block it."

"En." Li Chengtu nodded, "Then I'll go back to my room and take a nap."

"Go, remember to write when you wake up."

"Hey."

The father and son were resting, and Li Aizhong and his wife went to Grandpa Li's house with their things.When I came back, Grandpa Li came with me.Grandpa Li came to look for Gu Xi.

"Grandpa, do you need something from me?" Gu Xi asked.

Grandpa Li hummed: "It's like this. Your elder brother and sister-in-law said that you are not married yet. If you want to have a child who is half a year old to follow you, it will affect your future marriage. And they have come back, and you can take care of the children yourself. That's why I want to take Chengtu back. I think so, you have to say goodbye at your age, and you can't let Chengtu affect you, so..."

"Okay." Gu Xi agreed simply, "I'll return the 100 yuan adoption fee to you after completing the formalities. I won't refund the 10 yuan monthly child support fee. I raised him for a year. The food for every meal, every piece of clothing, trousers, tuition fees for studying, and milk malt essence for drinking every month can cover these.”

"En." Li Aizhong had no objection.

"Then let's talk to the child." Yang Jie said.

"Okay, I'll call Chengtu." Gu Xi went to Li Chengtu's room, and Li Chengtu who was sleeping in the room opened his eyes. He was not asleep, and he couldn't calm down.Seeing Gu Xi coming, he was puzzled, "Dad?"

"Come to Dad's room, Dad wants to tell you something."

"Hey."

Entering Gu Xi's room, seeing Li Aizhong and his wife were there, as well as Grandpa Li, Li Chengtu subconsciously stopped, but then followed in.

"Brother, tell the child." Gu Xi said.

Li Aizhong responded: "Chengtu, it's like this. Dad adopted you to your uncle because Dad was away and no one took care of you. Now that Dad is back, you can follow Mom and Dad in the future. You will always follow you Uncle, his wife can't be found either."

Li Chengtu's eyes slowly widened, and then looked at Gu Xi with red eyes.

Gu Xi said: "I'm sorry, your father wants you to go back, and uncle can't stop it."

Xiao Chengtu's tears fell patter: "Dad, don't you want me?" He asked Gu Xi, "Dad, I don't need to wear new clothes, drink milk malt extract, I don't eat your food supply, I don't want to eat it. I don’t study, I go to work in the fields by myself, don’t you want me, okay?”

Gu Xi said: "I'm sorry, your father wants you to go back, but I can't help it."

Li Chengtu looked at Li Aizhong suddenly, his eyes were full of hatred: "Why do you want to come back? You don't want me anymore, why do you want to come back? I live a good life with my father, why do you want to come back?"

Li Aizhong frowned: "Shut up, is this your attitude when talking to adults?" He didn't want to come back either, but his superiors won't let him serve as a soldier, what can he do?He said that he made a mistake at work, but in fact he knew very well that it was due to partisan competition, and he was sacrificed.

"I don't want you, I want my father, I don't want you..." Li Chengtu shouted.

"Aizhong, don't speak so harshly." Yang Jie stepped forward and hugged Li Chengtu into her arms, "Chengtu, this is your real father, Aiguo is your uncle, how can there be a child who doesn't want to kiss his father? And in the future In addition to your uncle and your father, there are mothers who love you, and we will all love you, isn't it good that so many people love you?"

Li Chengtu looked at Gu Xi: "Father, will you still love me in the future? Will you still treat me well?"

"Of course, even if you're not my son, you're still my nephew." Gu Xi replied.

"Then can I still call you Dad?" Li Chengtu asked again.

"Call me uncle. Even if we call him uncle, our relationship will not change." Gu Xi replied.

Li Chengtu bit his lower lip and stopped talking.But he is a child, whether he agrees or not, this is something an adult decides, and no one can change it.

Li Chengtu was depressed all afternoon.When it was time for dinner, Li Chengtu came to Gu Xi's door, looked at Gu Xi, he hesitated to speak, called his father but was afraid that he would be angry, called his uncle, he was upset.

Gu Xi turned to look at him, and smiled: "Have you had dinner yet?"

Li Chengtu nodded.

"Let's go." Gu Xi got up, and shouted at the door of Li Aizhong's room, "Brother, sister-in-law, let's go to dinner."

"Hey, here we come."

The dinner in the cafeteria is sweet potato porridge, with a little thick rice added to the sweet potato, and the sweet potato has a lot of weight.

"Patriotic, it's still the same, you give Chengtu 2 liang of porridge here, right?" the aunt asked.

Gu Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, Chengtu's meals don't have to be deducted from me in the future. My brother said that he wants Chengtu to go back, so Chengtu's meals will be theirs in the future."

"Oh, so, that's fine. Otherwise, with 10 work points a day, you and Chengtu won't be able to eat enough." The aunt said, and made sweet potato porridge for Gu Xi, "4 taels, it's full."

"Thank you auntie."

Li Chengtu was right behind Gu Xi, he could hear these words clearly, his little face was flushed.With 10 work points a day, neither he nor his father had enough to eat, so his father would give him steamed buns or kiwi fruit, and sometimes cucumbers.He didn't think so much before, but today he listened carefully, and he felt ashamed thinking about it.

"Chengtu, how much do you want to eat?" the aunt asked.

Li Chengtu shook his head, he didn't know, he subconsciously wanted to ask Gu Xi, but Gu Xi had already gone there for dinner: "It's the same as before."

"Okay, I'll give you two taels of sweet potato porridge."

Li Chengtu picked up the porridge and walked towards Gu Xi's side.

Then came Li Aizhong and Yang Jie.

"Auntie, the food here at night is not as good as at noon?" Yang Jie asked.

"Everyone is tired at noon. We have done work in the morning and work in the afternoon, so we need to eat better." The aunt said, "8 cents for the two of you, plus 2 cents for Chengtu, a total of 1 cents .”

When he came home after dinner, Li Chengtu boiled hot water, and he didn't need to take a bath every day in winter, but he had a good habit formed by Gu Xi. He had to wipe his buttocks, change his underwear, and take a bath every day.

Li Chengtu habitually burned it, then went back to his room to get the thermos bottle.There are 5 hot water bottles in their house, 1 in his room and 4 in Gu Xi's room.

Li Chengtu boiled hot water, went to the door of Gu Xi's room again, then went to get the hot water bottle without saying a word.

Of course Gu Xi saw him too, smiled and said nothing.

When Li Chengtu finished heating two pots of thermos in the kitchen, Li Aizhong went to the kitchen. He glanced at Li Chengtu and picked up the thermos. His son was boiling hot water, so he took it for granted and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.But Li Chengtu said: "This is Dad... This is Uncle's hot water bottle."

Li Aizhong looked at him: "I'll use it first, and I'll just fill him with hot water later."

"This thermos is his." Li Chengtu emphasized.He knew that Gu Xi liked to be clean and didn't like others touching his things.
