"Seventeen? I don't see it. Gao Quan smiled and shook his head, "I don't accept children here who don't tell the truth, how old are you?" ”

"It's seventeen! I'm telling the truth! Yang Runkai hurriedly nodded vigorously to increase the credibility of his words, but after seeing Gao Quan's disbelieving expression on his face, he quickly deflated again, and explained in a low voice: "It's a virtual year, and the real age is fifteen this year." ”

"Fifteen? What is your birthday? ”

"November 28." Maybe it can be seen that there is hope in life, and the boy's voice is much louder than just now.

"November 28? Today is only the sixth day of September, and there are nearly three months left before your birthday, and you are only fourteen now! I can't take a kid your age here. ”

When the young man heard that he couldn't accept it, he was anxious, and he wanted to kneel again, but the guard next to him pulled him, where could he kneel? Yang Runkai struggled twice, grinning and crying again.

"Hey, kid, don't cry, don't cry." By the way, Tang Wenjuan, who hadn't taken a picture of the aperture for a long time, couldn't stand it, so she came over and grabbed Gao Quan's sleeve, "Brother Quan, let's take this child." He's so young, what can he do when he meets a bad guy outside? If you don't raise him, I will raise him, and I will use my manuscript fee to manage his food! ”

What is this called! What can't be raised? A big girl who is not married wants to raise a child? Gao Quan snorted angrily, and wanted to shake off Reporter Tang's hand but was reluctant, Tang Wenjuan dragged his arm and shook it twice, so he had to nod helplessly, "Okay, I'll accept you." ”

"Really? That's great! Thank you, sir, thank you, wife! Yang Runkai had a smiling face, and he couldn't stop thanking him.

"Don't thank you, don't say thank you if you're my person. Hungry, right? Let's go, come back to dinner with me! Seeing the child's happy appearance, Gao Quan also had a happy smile on his face, and several people laughed, this was the first time Gao Quan smiled sincerely after coming to Tongbai.

"Yang Runkai, your name is good, what did your father do before?" In this society, the family that can take such an elegant name has to have a little cultural background, and the uneducated villagers can only give their children what small names such as Dazhu, Sixi, and Erxiao, and if they want a big name, they have to wait for the children to grow up and have a culture to start up by themselves, and some people are called this kind of nickname given by their parents for a lifetime.

"My father used to be a teacher in the township. Did the lord say my name was good? Yang Runkai raised his little face and looked at Gao Quan curiously.

"Well, you've got a good name. Your dad is a teacher? Then it's no wonder. Oh, by the way, don't call me lord in the future, we have this here from time to time. Don't call her Mrs. Gao Quan pointed at Tang Wenjuan, the beautiful reporter pouted, obviously a little unhappy, it seems that she likes the title of wife!

"And what do I call you?" Yang Runkai's big black eyes looked at Gao Quan, and then at Tang Wenjuan, the little guy obviously understood that the most inconspicuous one among these people was the master.

"If you call me, you can call me the military seat with everyone. This," Gao Quan pointed at Tang Wenjuan, "you can call her Reporter Tang or Sister Tang." ”

"Throne, Sister Sugar?" Yang Runkai couldn't understand these two strange names, but he didn't ask any more, but repeated them obediently in order to confirm that he was not mistaken.

"It's Sister Tang! It's not the sugar that eats sugar, it's the Tang surnamed Tang, the Tang of the Tang Dynasty! Tang Wenjuan hurriedly reminded her, don't let this child call himself and think of milk candy, fruit candy and the like.

"Oh, I see. Sister Tang's Tang is the Tang surnamed Tang, the Tang of the Tang Dynasty, not the sugar that eats sugar. When I was a child, I ate candy once, and I only remember that it was delicious, but I have long forgotten what it tasted like. "Yang Runkai's family background is only better than that of poor people, not rich, and luxury goods like sugar are not something that can be eaten casually.

The group arrived at the military headquarters as they spoke, and the little guy was obviously a little scared when he saw the gun-wielding guard at the gate, and it was Tang Wenjuan who led him into the gate by hand. Everyone was surprised to see a half-grown child brought back from the military seat, and after listening to Gao Quan's explanation of the origin of the incident, people couldn't stop sighing, the catastrophic year, human life is like a mustard!

When it was time to eat, Gao Quan took Yang Runkai to the officer's cafeteria. One person has a bowl of white rice, a pot of winter melon and tofu vermicelli stew, a plate of pickled pickles, the little guy looked at the meal in front of him and saliva flowed down at that time, holding a large bowl of coarse porcelain, on the winter melon stew, a bowl of rice went down in the blink of an eye, he stood up and served another bowl, and when this bowl of rice was eaten again and wanted to serve it again, he was stopped by Gao Quan.

"Hehe, I haven't eaten since yesterday, I'm so hungry, that's why I've eaten a little more. I don't usually eat so much. The little guy was a little embarrassed to wipe his mouth with his hand. After saying that you only eat one bowl of rice for a meal, how long has it been since you finished speaking, why is it not at home when you pick up the rice bowl? Yang Runkai still remembered what Gao Quan said, Junzuo doesn't like children who don't tell the truth.

Huiqin, who was sitting together, had already wiped her eyes, and Hong Yingying and Tang Wenjuan's eyes were also red. Gao Quan coughed, "Kaizi, this is the first meal you have eaten in the past two days, two bowls of rice are enough, eating too much will cause problems." Give Kaizi a bowl of soup, and then drink another bowl of soup, and save the rice for tomorrow. "Gao Quan's problem of liking to give people nicknames still can't be changed, Yang Runkai has only known him for a few hours, and he is very skilled in managing people and calling Kaizi.

After listening to Gao Quan's words, Yang Runkai knew that Junzuo was not afraid that he would eat too much, but that he was afraid that he would eat his stomach. The little guy was also sensible, so he sighed obediently, took the soup that the orderly gave him, and called out thank you, big brother, and called the orderly with a smile.

After eating, Gao Quan touched Yang Runkai's head, "Kaizi, tomorrow we will go outside the West Gate and bury your father." ”

There are dead people outside the county gate, and it is inevitable to enter the ground for peace. Even if this person has nothing to do with the 500 Army, as a local garrison, as long as he finds a corpse exposed in the wilderness, he will dig a pit and bury it. This is not only the need for hygiene and epidemic prevention, but also the nature of human beings.

This night, Yang Runkai slept peacefully, since his mother died unexpectedly, this was the sweetest night he slept on, in the dream, he dreamed of his parents, and the family returned to the happy past.

When he woke up the next morning, Yang Runkai, whose face was inexplicably covered with tears, hurriedly dressed and folded the quilt, packed up the bed, and ran outside to wash and clean up.

The drought was only for the plains, the mountainous areas were minimally affected, and the wells in the old county compound never dried up. The cool well water provides domestic water to all the people living in the compound.

After breakfast, Yang Runkai followed Gao Quan, he didn't know what work Junzuo would arrange for him today, and he didn't know if what Junzuo said yesterday that he would go to the West Gate to bury his father outside the West Gate today was true.
