"You old man, you took so much trouble to deal with your children in the past few years, but you didn't even get a single egg. Now you have found a partner. It's good that you have found a partner, but you have to care more about Xiaoyu when she is in a critical moment. Xiaoyu is very thoughtful. She has been in our family for so many years, and she rarely acts like a spoiled child. She is like an adult. You have to love her more and give her more warmth." The third brother said after a while, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Old Man Guan lowered his head and said nothing, thinking about the most difficult time when he and Xiaoyu spent their lives together, his old eyes became moist.
"I'm leaving, so you don't have to move there either. Just visit from time to time."
After the third child left, Old Man Guan sat in the yard for a long time. When he first picked up Xiaoyu, the child was so tiny and looked like he was dying. He had no money to take him to the hospital, so he just made some rice porridge and fed the child. The child was lucky and survived. The little one followed him around picking up scraps. When he was criticized, the child hid in a corner, trembling...
Old Man Guan wiped his eyes. Ever since the child followed the Li family, he could finally live a good life and go to school. He felt relieved and started to take care of the child instead of caring about him.
Old man Guan and his wife, old lady Zhao, came out of the house and said, "Old man, go back to the house. It's getting dark."
"Would you like to go to school and cook for the children?" Old Man Guan asked coldly.
Mrs. Zhao didn't react for a moment: "Who are you cooking for?"
Old Man Guan looked at Old Lady Zhao with a gloomy face.
It was dark, and Mrs. Zhao didn't see the expression on Old Man Guan's face.
"You're talking to Xiaoyu. She lives on campus. Doesn't the school have a cafeteria? She doesn't need to deliver food, right?"
Old Man Guan walked into the house with his hands behind his back without saying a word. Old Mrs. Zhao followed him in. She understood what Old Man Guan meant, but she didn't want to do it. The child was not the old man's biological child, and had nothing to do with her at all. She didn't care. Since the child was given to someone else's family, she should let them take care of it.
The next morning, Old Man Guan got up early, put on his clothes, and prepared to go out.
Mrs. Zhao asked, "What are you doing?"
Old Man Guan glanced at Old Lady Zhao and asked, "Don't you know?"
Mrs. Zhao clapped her hands and said, "Let's go see Xiaoyu, right? She's in morning self-study at this time, you won't be able to see her. Let's go at noon."
Old man Guan said with a half-smile, "You know a lot."
Mrs. Zhao didn't seem to notice that Mr. Guan was angry. She smiled and said, "My grandson took the college entrance examination last year. I know a little bit about it."
Old Man Guan put on his shoes and asked, "Is your grandson going to high school as a day student or a boarding student?"
Mrs. Zhao said, "That child is not healthy and is prone to allergies. My son has applied to go to school as a day student, but it's very tiring. He has to get up earlier and go to bed later than boarding students. In my opinion, it's better to go to school as a boarding student. It's less troublesome."
"Child, you go to school on foot. Will you come home for lunch?" Old Man Guan asked casually.
"I deliver lunch to him every day, but he's a picky eater and can't get used to the food at school," Mrs. Zhao said, then realized she was wrong. "My family's worried he might have an allergy, so we have no choice but to deliver lunch to him."
Old Man Guan smiled and said nothing. He went to where he kept his money, put all the money in his pocket and went out.
Mrs. Zhao chased after him for two steps and realized that the old man was angry.
It's not a close relationship, so why be angry? Besides, what does it have to do with her? She doesn't want to serve anyone else. She coaxes the old man for the house and the money in his hands. Otherwise, why would she find such an ugly old man?
When Old Man Guan arrived at the school, the children had already started classes. He didn't know where Li Mancang lived, so he found a place to sit and look inside the school.
At noon, Li Mancang and Wu Zhiqiu came over with lunch boxes and saw the old man sitting under the shade of a tree.
"Uncle Guan, you are here too. Xiaoyu will definitely be happy to see you." Li Mancang thought that old man Guan had just arrived.
"Thank you both for your hard work."
"Why bother? We don't have much trouble. The college entrance examination is coming soon, and I can't send you off for a few days." Li Mancang sat down next to Old Man Guan.
Old man Guan took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Li Mancang's pocket. "I'll pay the rent, and you guys do the work."
Li Mancang quickly refused, "What are you doing? Xiaoyu is my daughter, why are you being so polite to me?"
"I am your second uncle. If I give you money, you should take it. If I don't give you money, you should endure it."
Li Mancang...the old man was not in a good mood.
"Uncle Guan, did the third brother go to your place?" Wu Zhiqiu thought that the third brother had gone to find the old man to make trouble. Fenglan came last night and kept apologizing. Today, old man Guan came and didn't let any of the guys go.
