Chapter 28: Silly boy so happy?
Seeing his expression, knowing that he was not joking, Village Chief He's face became much more serious.
He stared at Gu Jin and disagreed: "You are so young, don't cause trouble for the family. Think more about the consequences of everything and think more about the family."
The village chief thought that Mr. Gu was unwilling, so he advised Gu Jin with good intentions, without considering An Mingji who was standing beside him.
An Mingji had a dazed look on his face when he heard what Mr. Gu said. That expression was very beautiful. Without the disguised innocence, the light in his clear eyes became dim and unclear.
He looked up in disbelief and looked at Gu Jin beside him.
After hearing what Village Chief He said, his face turned pale.
Yes, if he remembered correctly, Gu Jin was two or three years older than him, so why did he adopt him?
Gu Jin noticed that the child was holding her hand tighter and knew that he was uneasy.
She smiled and said to the village chief: "Grandpa He, I have thought about it. I am sixteen now and cannot be separated from the household. I came here today because I want you to take me to the town to change my age by two years, separate from the Gu family, and add Xiao An's name."
"You...you kid..."
Village Chief He didn't expect that she would consider this, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Old Master Gu said, "Old He, just take the child with you. The meat at home has not been sorted out yet. When we are done, I will ask the child to run again and bring you the pork leg."
When Village Chief He heard this, he had no idea how to refuse.
There is a lot of meat on the pig's hind leg, one or two times more than the seven or eight pounds in front of you.
It was just a matter of going to town. He nodded and said, "Okay, when will it be done?"
Gu Jin looked at the frightened child beside him and said with a smile: "Grandpa He, the sooner this happens, the better. I think today is a good day. When we get back, we can just catch up and eat meat."
"OK!"
When Village Chief He thought of the pork leg, he put the wild boar meat in his hand back to the room, told his family, and led Gu Jin and An Mingji to the town.
Fortunately, when I left Gu's house, I brought my household registration book with me, so I didn't have to make another trip home.
Mr. Gu is old, so he didn't come with them this time, saying that he would wait for them at home.
An Mingji held Gu Jin's hand along the way, and the whole thing felt unreal.
It was not until the afternoon that the matter was resolved and Village Chief He took the two children back to the village.
After entering the village, Village Chief He separated from the two at the entrance of the village. Gu Jin smiled and said, "Grandpa He, I'll ask Xiao An to bring you some pork later."
"Okay!" Village Chief He walked home with a smile on his face.
Gu Jin led the child towards home. She held two household registration books in her hands, one for the Gu family and the other for her and An Mingji.
Along the way, An Mingji stared at the brand new household registration book with his eyes fixed, his eager gaze was bold and straightforward.
Gu Jin looked at his surprisingly bright eyes and tapped his head gently with the brand new household registration booklet.
He smiled and said, "Silly boy, are you so happy?"
An Mingji nodded vigorously, unable to say anything.
It felt unreal to him, like a dream.
The poverty and destitution of the past few years, the lack of food to eat, and the humiliation suffered by the villagers, although did not completely break him down, he really did not dare to think positively about his future life.
Especially now, dad is gone, mom ran away, and grandma is gone too.
He had no relatives, and his uncle's family were strangers and enemies to him.
