Back to 1996

Gu Yi was sitting at the dining table in a cramped manner. He could feel the scrutiny from the young man, smiled kindly at the other party, and continued to bury his head in the bowl of rice.

"Is Ozawa losing his appetite today? It's all what you like to eat, isn't it too hot?" the old man asked worriedly.

"Well, kind of."

"Then don't force it... eat less, there is watermelon frozen in the well, and I will bring it up and cut it for you to eat in a while." Turning around to see that Gu Yi was eating rice, he didn't pick up any vegetables, "Don't just eat rice , eat some food." While talking, she added food to the bowl.

No one had a good meal.

Although the courtyard house was not small, there were only three rooms with beds, and the Shen family's couple naturally couldn't live in it. Only the room of Mr. Shen and Shen Zexiu was left. The two children who were not much different in age were naturally arranged in the same room.

"Xiao Ze, my brother will sleep with you today." The old man made arrangements, thinking that he didn't need to prepare anything for Xia Tian, ​​and only brought a new thin blanket.

Shen Zexiu looked at the old man, but he swallowed all the refusal. Parents can't sleep in the room, and they can only be with the old man if they are not in the same room with him. The old man has poor sleep quality when he is old, and he wakes up at the slightest movement up.

"I advise him to take a bath before talking about where to sleep." After speaking, he turned and left.

Gu Yi's eyes darkened, but he didn't open his mouth to refute.

"Hey, this kid! Xiaoyi, please ignore him. Grandpa will take you to the backyard to take a shower."

"Good master!" Gu Yitian replied with a smile.

The old man went back and forth, Shen Zexiu was playing the stand-alone game in the room, and the old man sat silently waiting for him to finish playing.

The sound of the end of the game sounded, and Shen Zexiu put down the game console, "Is the kid going to take a bath?"

"Ozawa, you can't talk like that just now, it's very disrespectful!"

"Understood!" Shen Zexiu replied casually, and then asked: "What's the matter with this child? Is it from a relative? Or did the neighbor ask you to take care of it?"

Seeing that he didn't get an answer for a long time, he picked up the game console to fiddle with it again, and said casually: "It can't be picked up on the main road!"

Mr. Shen: "..." It's the truth.

Seeing that the other party didn't refute, Shen Zexiu paused the movement of his hands, and looked up. Those peachy eyes that smiled with a bit of flamboyance were full of astonishment at the moment. He really couldn't believe that this was his grandfather's behavior style. .

"Have you discussed this with my dad?" Putting the game console aside, the boy said seriously.Affected by his parents' occupation, it is not uncommon to see people of all kinds. His mentality can be considered mature among his peers.

"It hasn't reached that point yet, wait a little longer, and see the news from your Uncle X in a few days, you children don't want to think about adults all day long, all you need is to go to school healthy and happy That's it. We'll take care of your lord's affairs!"

"...Understood." Hearing what the old man said, Shen Zexiu stopped asking, and reached out to fiddle with the ornaments on the bedside, thinking in his mind that it was just a temporary stay. Who could afford to lose such a big child? .

"Also, you are older than others, and you are an elder brother. You can't bully Xiao Yi. This child is a heart-wrenching child. He has been injured all over. I don't know what he has gone through!" The old man repeatedly urged, although he also believed that his grandson was not The kind of bullying character.

Outside the door, Gu Yi, who forgot to take a change of clothes, took his feet back silently. He decided to take a bath first. Emotions, that is the long-lost joy!

The result of not taking the clothes was that he ended up wearing Shen Zexiu’s pajamas. Mr. Shen couldn’t stand his patched clothes. There were still many grandchildren in the old house who couldn’t wear brand new clothes. Gu Yi’s body wore Just right.Always be nice to this kid unconsciously!

Gu Yi, who has lived for decades, will not be embarrassed. Although he doesn't care what he wears, he doesn't insist on being different. Maybe the one inside may not be his. , bed sleep.

The white-washed Gu Yi came to Shen Zexiu's room again. The boy was playing with the Motorola in his hand. It was rare to see the clean-up child in front of him. He was fair and beautiful, but a little too thin. The little girl here is not as thin as him, and this red pajamas really suits him!

Gu Yi thought that he had a problem with the clothes, and said, "Master gave me the clothes, why don't I change them now."

Gu Yi opened his mouth tentatively. He has not figured out the boy's personality yet, but he doesn't want to fight with the master's grandson before he settles down. Anyway, he didn't achieve anything in his previous life. He just cultivated a strong heart. It's a big deal. Coax him!

"No need." The boy raised his chin and signaled, "That's for you, and I'm used to sleeping outside." After speaking, he took his pajamas from the closet and went out.

Hmm... Gu Yi is very satisfied, it is quite harmonious!

It was obviously a strange environment, and there were strange people around him, but Gu Yi was extremely sleepy, and fell asleep within 3 minutes after lying down.

When Shen Zexiu came back, he was already fast asleep. He lay on the bed and turned off the light.

There were suddenly more people around him, but he, who had always had a high quality of sleep, suffered from insomnia uncharacteristically.

Turning over irritably, the moonlight shines through the window on the redness on the bed and the bed very clearly!

From this point of view, the child's complexion was even whiter. Perhaps because of turning over, the hem of the top was lifted to half the waist, and the bruises mixed with the white skin formed a strong contrast.

Thinking of the injuries the old man said, I understand!It's just that the person who strikes is really bold, and with such a body, he can still hit him. He might be able to hit him with two punches, and then he will cause trouble...

Gu Yi was awakened by boredom. In the dream, he was beaten by Gu Jiacheng on his body. Not only was his body in pain, but his chest was so oppressed that he couldn't breathe.

It took a while to realize after opening his eyes, that was already a matter of his previous life, and now he is in the Shen family.

It was Shen Zexiu's leg that was pressing on his body. Although the other party was only one year older than himself, he was a whole head taller, and his frame was also a whole lot bigger. Just one leg weighed him down and he couldn't breathe.Not only that, the pain in the dream was also because the boy's arms were tightly wrapped around him, and the unhealed wound was strangled sorely!

Hands and feet up together, that posture is treating him as a body pillow.

Gu Yi struggled, but the other party hugged him even harder, so he had to compromise for a while.

The worried Mr. Shen came over and saw this scene, and went back to the house with a face full of relief!

When Shen Zexiu woke up, it was already bright outside, and he was alone on the bed. While washing, breakfast was already on the dining table, including egg and vegetable pancakes, rice cakes, deep-fried dough sticks, buns, and a cup of soy milk for each person!

Affected by the trend of the aroma, Shen Zexiu stretched out his hand to start at the vegetable omelette, and his eyes lit up as soon as he took a bite.

After eating three pieces of egg and vegetable pancakes, Mr. Shen smiled and said, "Aren't you greedy for Li Ji's rice cakes on weekdays? Why didn't you eat any of them today?"

"This omelette is okay. Is it a new product from their family? It tastes really good. It's soft and a little glutinous, fragrant but not greasy."

The smile on the old man's face deepened. This little ancestor grew up held in the palm of his hand. He has never eaten any good food. There are only a few things that he can remember for so many years. To get such an evaluation today shows that really like it.

"This is not it!"

"Huh? You did it?"

The old man shook his head, "Xiaoyi made it, and he was busy in the kitchen early in the morning."

Shen Zexiu looked at Gu Yi with rare embarrassment.

Gu Yi smiled kindly, "As long as you like it, I will do something else for you next time."

……

Shen Zexiu was picked up by the driver at home without having lunch, and the two of them have been together for more than [-] hours so far without any incidents, even in harmony!

After sending Shen Zexiu away, Gu Yi was led by his master to the barber shop at the street corner, and the long hair that covered his eyes was cut short. Gu Yi couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, don't be too comfortable!Passing by a tailor shop on the way back, the old man couldn't resist going in.

As soon as Gu Yi touched the kitchen in the evening, before he did anything, the old man heard the sound and came over, saying that he would not let him go to the kitchen again, but handed him half a sliced ​​watermelon, and drove him out of the kitchen.

"Even if you know how to do it, it doesn't matter, no matter how you lived before, if you don't need to do these tasks here, you are still a child, just responsible for 'eating, drinking and having fun'."

Gu Yi smiled silly, white and sweet, 'eating, drinking and having fun'?Sounds like it's not bad.

Perhaps because of the involvement of Mr. Shen, the comrades at the police station are extremely efficient. In less than three days, the information of Gu Yi has been found in the information database, and he is alone in the household registration column. Now everyone finally believes Gu Yi did not lie.

And how could Gu Yi himself be unprepared? There is no separation of households in the countryside. Originally, there was one household registration book for three generations. He took out the household registration form, the system is not perfect at this time, it is one thing to find out whether it is Gu Jiacheng, even if it is found out, it doesn't matter, at this moment, I am afraid that he himself is in danger, how could he come to lead someone.

Gu Yi sat on the rest chair of the police station, listening to the conversation between Zhang Jianjun and Mr. Shen, his hands clenched tightly.

"Uncle Shen, the child's condition is that he can apply for the welfare home, and I can handle it right away, and the household registration can be moved back smoothly!" Zhang Jianguo suggested.

"Welfare home?" The old man looked down at Gu Yi who was sitting beside him, who had never said a word, and shook his head, "Don't worry, the stove was still on when I came out. I'll tell you about this in a few days You answer."

The old man didn't make excuses either. When he came back, he could smell the aroma from the kitchen from the yard. He could smell corn ribs soup on the stove, and the sweet aroma of corn went straight to his nose. Drill, the aroma of the ribs is just right, not too greasy.

Dinner was a simple meal of two dishes and one soup. The master and apprentice had not talked in tacit understanding since they came back from the police station. At this moment, the silence was finally broken!

"Little One!"

"Well, Master."

"You are from province C, why did you come to the imperial capital alone in the end?"

Gu Yi bit his lip, "...I escaped from the debt." He didn't lie, the Gu family owed a debt, if he doesn't run away, he will never be alone in the end.

"Hiding debt? You are young..." By the way, who would lend him money as a child, even if it was an elder in the family, this would also explain why he was wounded.

"Why do you keep calling me Master, it's the first time we met." The old man continued to ask.

"You are the master. I dreamed about you and you looked exactly the same. In the dream you taught me how to cook, so you are the master." Half-truth, half-false, childish words.

The old man smiled, "You child, the master is the master! The master will only say the following words once, and you should think carefully about the answer." The second half of the sentence became more serious.

"Do you really want to live with an old man like me? If you still have relatives, don't be afraid just to avoid debts, I will help you solve it!" As for the orphanage, there was no mention of it.

Gu Yi looked at the old man with a pair of clear eyes, "Master, I have no relatives, I just want to live with you!"

Mr. Shen stared at him for a long time, no matter whether it was his looks or his character, this child was poking at his heart! "Okay!" Immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks, went to the phone, and dialed the number!

"Zijun! Come back with Mo Yan this week, Dad has something to tell you!"

……

"No, no, I'm in good health, don't worry, you can just come over this weekend."

……

"Well, you too, take care of Ozawa after work."

……

Gu Yi never knew that Master had opened a restaurant!

This is an inconspicuous house, and there is no plaque to welcome guests. If it weren't for the regular customers, there would be a restaurant hidden in the area.

At this time, the wooden courtyard door is wide open. Looking inside, the small courtyard is not big, but it is very elegantly arranged. The green and yellow stone slabs lead from the courtyard door to the eaves, and the potted plants are decorated on both sides. The old pagoda tree in the northwest corner adds a little bit. ancient rhyme.

Gu Yi followed behind the old man while looking at the different restaurants.It is said to be a restaurant, but the grade has already far surpassed most restaurants at this time. The environment is unique, but the style of not hanging the plaque is really in line with the saying at this time that "the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys". .

There were a few tables scattered in the lobby, and there were only two people running the hall, one was waiting at the food delivery port, and the other was diligently cleaning the tables and chairs.Everyone greeted with a smile.

"Uncle Shen is here, the master was still talking about you just now."

"Well, Master Yuan is definitely looking for me to research a new dish, have you rested these days, you will be busy later!"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'm full of energy now!" He said and reached out to pat his not-so-strong chest.

"Yes, yes, we are full of energy now!" The other also immediately expressed his determination, and then saw Gu Yi who was beside him and said doubtfully: "Uncle Shen, it's not my eyesight, right? Ozawa doesn't look like this?"

Speaking of which, everyone's eyes shifted to Gu Yi.

Gu Yi smiled at everyone, and before he had time to introduce himself, the old man led him out, "It's not Ozawa. My apprentice, Gu Yi! Xiao Yi is called someone."

"Hello, my name is Gu Yi, and I am the master's apprentice."
