Chapter 67 My Dad is Missing

The little beggar bit his lip and uttered a few words: "Uncle Qin said that I had a serious illness and forgot everything in the past. He told me that my mother was dead and my father was missing.

I only remember what my mother looked like, I don’t even know my own name, she usually called me little beggar.”

"No name at all?" Gu Xiaoxi questioned.

"He said that without a name, people wouldn't know who I was, and I could live longer," the little beggar said truthfully.

After hearing these words, Gu Xiaoxi was certain that the little beggar was probably being hunted by someone, and that his face was probably made like this on purpose.

Why……

Poor kid!

She felt a surge of sympathy, and another reason she wanted to take him in was that she felt she had an indescribable connection with this boy.

She felt that even if she didn't take him in now, the child would fall into her hands sooner or later.

"Please, don't chase me away. I, I can do whatever I want. I just won't ask you to be my mother anymore." The little beggar said unwillingly and lowered his head.

Which child doesn't want to be loved and pampered by their mother? Gu Xiaoxi could hear the sadness in the child's tone.

She touched his head and asked with a smile, "If you want to be my son, you must abide by the rules of this family. Can you promise?"

"Yes, as long as I can follow my mother, I can accept your offer even if you become my slave." said the little beggar.

"No, mother wants you to be her son!

"Mom found a scumbag before, and we divorced. Now I have two daughters, and you have to support this family for Mom in the future." Gu Xiaoxi said with a firm face.

"Can I, can I?" The little beggar was worried that he couldn't do it.

"If you think you can do it, then you can. Of course, mother will teach you skills. It will be hard. Are you willing to learn?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.

"Yes, I want to learn some skills. If I learn these skills, I won't be bullied and I can protect my two younger sisters in the future." The little beggar answered Gu Xiaoxi's question seriously.

"Okay, remember what you said." Gu Xiaoxi also became serious.

The little beggar nodded heavily.

Gu Xiaoxi continued, "From today on, your name is Gu Feng, which means good harvest. You are the child that my uncle Gu An brought back from outside. Since I, Gu Xiaoxi, don't have a son, he was adopted by me and became my son."

The little beggar listened to the repeated words and wrote them down.

After Gu Xiaoxi explained everything clearly, she took the little beggar to the front yard and asked him to play with her two daughters. She called her parents and uncle into the house to talk.

"Dad, Mom, I plan to keep this child. But I need to trouble my uncle with this matter." Gu Xiaoxi told his parents and uncle about his decision.

Without waiting for Gu He to ask anything, Gu An spoke up: "You said, as long as your uncle can do it, your uncle will help you."

"I named that little beggar Gu Feng. I'd like to ask my uncle to take him home tonight and let everyone in the village see him tomorrow.

Just say that this is the child you brought back to me. His parents died of illness, and he was left alone. I just needed a son to support the family, so you brought him back to me." Gu Xiaoxi told her uncle this story.

After hearing this, Gu An understood that Xiaoxi had to clear the child's identity so that he could take him in.

It seems that this child has some background, but Xiaoxi didn't tell her elder brother and sister-in-law because she didn't want to worry.

"Xiaoxi, if you really want to take him in, let him stay at my place for a few days first," he said.

"Then I'll trouble you, uncle." Gu Xiaoxi bowed to his uncle to express his gratitude.

"It would be nice for Xiaoxi to have a boy to support the family." Gu He did not object to this.

Chai also knew this and said nothing in silence.

After waiting for Gu He and Chai to leave the house, Gu An lowered his voice and asked, "Xiaoxi, tell me honestly, uncle, what is the origin of this child? That way I can clear his name."

Gu Xiaoxi told her uncle word for word what the little beggar had said to them.

After listening to this, Gu He basically understood. He then asked, "If one day his enemies come looking for you, what are you going to do?"

"His face has changed, no one can find him." Gu Xiaoxi said confidently.

Gu He thought of the child's face and finally nodded: "Okay, leave this matter to me."

"Thank you, uncle." Gu Xiaoxi thanked him again.

Several people went to the kitchen to discuss it. Gu Xiaoxi went out first. This matter must not be known to Mrs. Mo, so she went out first to divert the attention from the other side.

After Gu Xiaoxi left for a while, Gu Nanming walked out of the house.

After making sure that there was no one around, Gu An carried Gu Feng on his back, covered him with clothes, left the village from the back road first, and then carried him back into the village from the road where he usually waited for the bus.

Many people were still awake at this time. They watched Gu An carrying the child into the village, and acquaintances asked curiously.

"Gu An, is this your child from outside?"

"No, it's my friend's child. His wife and I died of illness, and there was no one to take care of the child. I took pity on him and brought him back."

"Oh, you're a good person!"

Hehehe…

Gu An greeted everyone he knew along the way and brought the child home with full legitimacy.

After returning home, Gu He placed the child in his room and went to the kitchen.

When Gu Feng came out, Gu Xiaoxi told him that he had to stay at his grandfather's house for two days before he could return to that home with a legitimate reason.

Watching his grandfather leave the house, he followed carefully. Seeing his grandfather making a fire in the kitchen, he hurried forward to help.

"From now on, your name will be Gu Feng. No matter how your life was before, it's all in the past and you have to forget it.

If someone asks you in the future, just say that your parents died of a serious illness last year, and you wandered outside for a long time before finding me and following me back.

If someone asks you what your parents' names are and where they live, just say that you used to live in Chenjia Village in the border town. Your father's name is Chen Atu and your mother's name is Zhu Xiaomei. Your face got this way because you fell while chopping firewood with your father in the mountains.

Your previous name was Goudan, and you are ten years old this year.

Because Gu Xiaoxi didn't have a son, I gave you to Gu Xiaoxi, and you became Gu Xiaoxi's son." Gu An thought of a good explanation for Gu Feng.

Gu Feng stared at his little grandfather in a daze.

Gu An thought this sentence was too long, so he repeated it again.

When he listened to it for the second time, Gu Feng reacted. He nodded heavily and repeated what his grandfather said word for word.

"Good boy, you are good. You remembered it so quickly." Gu An didn't expect that this boy had such a good memory. He probably would be good at studying in the future.

hehe……

When Gu Feng saw his grandfather laughing, he also laughed.

In the middle of the night, Gu An suddenly developed a high fever.

Gu Feng knew that Gu An was frightened and did not dare to sleep soundly at night. When he found that Gu Feng had a fever, he hurriedly used cold water to lower the child's temperature.

As a result, he found that he couldn't go down, so he had to carry the kid to his eldest brother's house.
