After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 275 Recognition of relatives
Xie Xingchuan's expression was clear at this time, and he looked at Zhang Yuniang with shocked eyes.

Zhang Yunniang looks very capable and doesn't look like someone who is bad at cooking. Xie Xingchuan was puzzled at the moment.

Niuniu had a bitter face at this time, and she swallowed the unpalatable food in front of her mouth. While eating, she comforted herself: "Every meal should be appreciated as it is not easy to come by..."

Although she forced herself to eat it, the expression on her face was uglier than crying.

Xie Xingchuan originally wanted to spit it out, but when he saw that six-year-old Niu Niu was forcing herself to swallow it, he could only continue swallowing it with a bitter face.

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang had never eaten such disgusting food during the hardest times of their lives. Gu Mingda finally understood the strange words of the middle-aged man.

It's really hard to believe that there are still people in this world who can make normal ingredients taste so bad.

"Let's go back together later. We can't buy such food from our neighbors at noon again." Gu Mingda said this to clear Zhang Yuniang's grievances.

When Xie Xingchuan heard that it was the food brought from the neighbors, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, the four of them finished the food on the table with difficulty.

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang looked at Xie Xingchuan together.

Xie Xingchuan didn't know why, but when being stared at by the couple, he always felt inexplicably guilty and wanted to lower his head.

"I also heard from the old lady yesterday that you were unwilling to tell us the reason why you left home. In that case, we won't ask any more questions." Gu Mingda took the initiative to say.

Xie Xingchuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Mingda added, "But you are only twelve years old. Your aunt Zhang and I can't bear to see you living a muddled life alone."

Before Xie Xingchuan could say anything, Niuniu said, "And me! And me!"

Niuniu pulled Xie Xingchuan's sleeve and said, "I can't just watch my brother do this. I have to take care of him, too."

Xie Xingchuan looked at the little girl's eyes full of worry and couldn't help but touch Niu Niu's hair.

"Your aunt Zhang and I have discussed it. We, as adults, would like to become your godparents. If you are willing, you can call us godfather and godmother." Gu Mingda told the result of his discussion with Zhang Yuniang last night.

Zhang Yunniang couldn't help but think of her second son when she saw Xie Xingchuan. Gu Mingda was also grateful to Xie Xingchuan for saving his life. If they directly asked Xie Xingchuan to go home with them, Xie Xingchuan would definitely not be happy.

If you have a status, these things will be easier to say.

Xie Xingchuan didn't expect that the two of them would actually have such a plan. He said softly, "You don't lack sons."

He didn't want to accept other people's sympathy easily.

If Zhang Yuniang is best at taking care of children, then Gu Mingda is best at coaxing children.

"We don't lack sons, but we lack a son as capable as you," said Gu Mingda.

Xie Xingchuan looked at him in confusion.

Gu Mingda continued, "My eldest son studied literature, and my youngest studied medicine. I was hoping to have a son who learned martial arts. I still remember that day on the boat, Brother Xie danced with a long spear with great power. I couldn't forget it after seeing it once."

When Xie Xingchuan thought back to the hardships he had endured over the years in learning martial arts, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Brother Xie, I haven't seen you play with a gun before. Can you show it to me?" Niu Niu asked from the side.

Xie Xingchuan said softly: "Okay, I'll show you next time."

Niu Niu immediately cheered: "Great, I have a brother again!" Xie Xingchuan wanted to say that he only agreed to play with the gun, and did not agree to be Gu Mingda's son.

But when he turned around, he saw Gu Mingda and his wife both looking at him with pleading eyes.

Xie Xingchuan hesitated for a moment and said helplessly: "Well, I don't have a godfather or godmother anyway..."

Niuniu cheered again: "From now on, Brother Xie is also a brother. He likes me and my parents, so he treats us as a family!"

When Xie Xingchuan heard this, he wanted to refute, but seeing the little girl cheering with joy, he could only shut up. Forget it, just think of it as I like them very much and just think of it as trying to make the little girl happy.

After the relationship was settled, Gu Mingda immediately took advantage of the situation and invited Xie Xingchuan to live in the Gu family house.

Xie Xingchuan immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"I just bought a house, and I haven't lived alone enough. I don't want to move there..." Although Xie Xingchuan recognized his godfather and godmother, deep down, he still didn't feel like they were a family, and they were still strangers to each other.

Gu Mingda had taken care of Xie Xingchuan on the boat for so long that he understood the boy's temperament better. He said, "Speaking of which, there has been some unrest near my home lately. We really need a powerful young general to calm things down for us."

When Xie Xingchuan heard that he was going to help the Gu family, he immediately became excited.

Zhang Yunniang gave Niuniu another look.

Niuniu immediately grabbed Xie Xingchuan's sleeve and said to him, "Brother, just come back with us. I'm scared if you don't live with us."

After hearing what the little girl said, Xie Xingchuan immediately softened his heart and said, "I... I will only stay with you for a while. If there are no scoundrels nearby, I will move back."

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang couldn't help laughing again when they heard this.

Although Xie Xingchuan was young, he had already developed his character. He agreed to live with them, but insisted on paying for accommodation and food.

The boy became stubborn and Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang were helpless against him.

But Niuniu said, "Brother, didn't you come here to protect us? How did you become a guest?"

Gu Mingda's eyes lit up, and he immediately followed his daughter's words and said, "Yes, Xingchuan, you are here to protect us. It is our responsibility to pay for your food and lodging. In fact, we should also give you extra money. After all, hiring a bodyguard not only provides food and lodging, but also requires a large sum of money."

When Xie Xingchuan heard this, he was so anxious that he almost jumped up: "I don't want money! Since I have acknowledged you as my godfather and godmother, how can I ask for money for doing such a small thing!"

Gu Mingda couldn't help laughing again and followed his words and said, "Yes, since you have acknowledged me as your godfather and godmother, why do you have to pay me for food and lodging?"

Xie Xingchuan couldn't find any reason to refute for a moment.

Niuniu pulled him out again: "Go back quickly, go back quickly, I'll ask my sister to make you something delicious. I tell you, the food my sister makes is delicious!"

Xie Xingchuan felt strange again when he heard this and said, "Sister, you still have a sister?"

Niuniu was embarrassed to say Shuying's name, so she could only say, "She's not my biological sister, but another sister who treats me very well."

Zhang Yunniang explained: "She is a maid in the family."

Only then did Xie Xingchuan understand.

After bringing the person back, tell the old couple of the Gu family the whole story.

Old Lady Gu clapped her hands and said, "Great! Yesterday I thought it was not right for this child to live alone, but you two are so thoughtful! Good child, don't be restrained when you come to our place, just treat it as your own home!"
