At that time, that door was only 0.001 kilometers away from Macklin, but after half a quarter of an hour, the family would decide to take him in because he decided to tell a lie~

At the dining table in the courtyard, three people sat around.

"There was once a real home in front of me, I didn't cherish it, and I regretted it when I lost it, if God gave me another chance to do it again......"

Well, the above is Makqin's obscenity, and the real situation is ~~

"Uncle, I'm actually... Actually, I was an orphan, I didn't have a home, I grew up in an orphanage, and when I was seven or eight years old, the orphanage was closed, and later... I've been wandering around since then, and I just came here a while ago..."

The old man frowned, Ai Ming suddenly froze, is he also an orphan?

"I just went to call my uncle and aunt who used to take me in, and found that they are no longer there, and I can't find them......"

Ai Ming listened, and the little eyeballs had slowly begun to snap off the beads.

"Uncle, I will leave tomorrow morning, I won't embarrass you", Ma Qin felt a little tired in his heart, what is the matter, telling such a big lie, but in this world, he is indeed an orphan

"Woo, grandpa, he's so pitiful, why don't we take him in~~", Ai Ming cried.

"Good granddaughter, don't cry", Xu remembered the past, the old man sighed for a while, his eyes were wet, he raised his head and muttered: "Evil, hard-working children, all hard-working children"

The old man hugged his granddaughter and said to Ma Qin: "Little friend, you live with me first, and I will think of a way to go back."

Ma Qin was at a loss for a while, and sure enough, he still had an innate bonus when a child deceived others!

From the beginning of entering this door, in all aspects, Ma Qin deduced that there is no male and female hosts in this house, the grandfather and grandson depend on each other, and the old man is not good now, thinking about this little girl, it is very distressing, not to mention that he is so small, he will not have a place to go for a while, take a step and a look.

Ma Qin is now a teenager, which may also remind the old man of Ai Ming's life experience, and then took in Ma Qin to a surprisingly smooth time, nothing more than a bite of food, relying on his pension and neighbors, he did a good deed when he was alive, and when he left, Ai Ming could also have a companion and dependence.

The old man asked the neighborhood committee to do adoption, check the child's information, and found nothing, just like out of thin air, and slowly the neighbors also eliminated their vigilance, this year, orphans, abduction, and food, it is not nothing, it is rare to be as white as Makqin, and it is a blessing in misfortune, not to be hurt by lawbreakers.

What else can Makqin say, he can only try his best to be a child.

～～～～～

"Brother, you eat, you eat, it's delicious", a little girl with a ponytail on the road stretched out her arm to bring a string of sugar gourds to a boy's mouth, muttering while chirping.

It was Makqin and Ai Ming, Ai Ming was still dressed in plain clothes, but his little face was very clean, his eyes were bright, his smile was like a crescent moon, and his mouth was full of sugar dregs, and he was talking and reminiscing.

"You eat, I don't like to eat this, bad teeth", Ma Qin was wearing a cool vest, small pants, plastic sandals, pulling a small board car, and said to Ai Ming while walking, Ma Qin still didn't call this little girl sister after all, through his brother-like care, let the little girl recognize this brother who fell from the sky from the bottom of her heart.

Mark Qin has been here for almost a year, this family only relies on the old man's pension, very tight, every month is the old man's medicine money to remove more than half, can no longer afford the various expenses of the two children, as the saying goes, half the size of the child eats the poor old man, often every month to make ends meet, usually rely on the neighbors to help the foil, but it is not a long-term solution.

Although Ma Qin is a young body, but he can't really think of himself as a child, since he lived here, in the face of the kind grandfather and grandson, he took the initiative to go out to do things, at first the uncle didn't agree, he had to send him to school, this is going to elementary school but it will cost Ma Qin's old life, so to say, he had to show his hand, so that the old man felt that he was a Wenqu star, self-taught, and relieved, and he could usually tutor Ai Ming, so he didn't mention it anymore, only said it in junior high school.

Now in the summer of 2003, this year Ma Qin has done everything, delivery, pulling coal, practicing stalls, and even going to Zhongguancun to dump pirated plates, tall, strong, and dark, no longer the white little Zhengtai, busy chattering is so-so to fill the deficit, it is really too few things that children can do, and the bosses in the capital do not dare to hire child labor, and through a year of understanding, although the world is basically the same as the previous life, but many things are different, a teenager wants to cheat on the world, basically no way.

This is the weekend, Ai Ming accompanied his brother to send goods to Uncle Liu in the store just came back, Ai Ming loves to eat sugar gourds, just came back to sell, usually frugal Ai Ming is not very willing to eat, today is a special day, Mark Qin felt sorry for this sister who suddenly came, so he bought it for her to eat.

～～～～～

When he got home, he put the cart at the door and was just in time for his neighbor Aunt Sun to come back from grocery shopping.

"Obviously, Xiao Qin, go to deliver the goods again, Xiao Qin, don't get tired of your little body, I'll go back to stew pig's trotters in a while, and I'll get you a bowl after the stew, make up for it, and look at these two children who are thin, hey, it's hard", Aunt Sun held a vegetable basket in one hand and chatted with the two babies.

"Aunt Sun, thank you for your old concern, see that I am strong", Mark Qin bent his biceps and said with a smile.

"Heh, you kid, just these two taels of meat, still strong, don't work too hard, it's difficult to tell your aunt"

"Well, thank you."

"This kid is really sensible"

"That's, it doesn't depend on whose brother it is", Ai Ming took Mackqin's arm, and let out of a proud little peacock.

"You girl, hehehe, if you can, I'll get the pig's trotters in a while"

"Guarantee to complete the task", Ai Ming snapped a military salute to Aunt Sun.

"Haha, this kid"

"Aunt Sun, walk slowly", Mark Qin rubbed Ai Ming's head, turned around and entered the courtyard.

Grandpa's body is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and now he has to walk around with a cane to walk a few steps in the yard, and there are more and more spots on his face, and a gust of wind can blow away his thin body, but the old man still tries to persevere, and Ma Qin knows that the old man can't let go of his granddaughter.

Entering the house, there are two posthumous portraits hanging on the north wall, and there is a small offering table below, on which there are incense burners and fruits, and the old man sits on a chair and stares at the remains in a daze.

Ai Ming opened his bag, took out fresh fruits, changed into the offering table, tidied up his clothes, took out three more incense sticks, lit them and swayed them, and recited some words.

Ma Qin leaned against the door, and suddenly felt like a sacred ritual opened, straight to the heart, an eleven-year-old child, an old man in the last years, such a ritual has been carried out for a few years, which should not be borne by them, but everyone is born with the weight of life, and it is destined.

The dead are gone!

The old man said with tears in his eyes: "Zikun, Qiu Ming, it's been eight years, you guys are doing well over there, Ming Ming and I came to see you again." He wiped his tears as he spoke, "I told you last time that there was a newcomer at home, and today I brought it", the old man turned his head and beckoned to Mark Qin, "Xiao Qin, come here"

Ma Qin walked to Ai Ming's side, gently hugged Ai Ming, who was crying silently, and let her sobble on her shoulder, the old man took his other hand and said to the statue: "Zikun, Qiu Ming, look, this is Xiao Qin, capable and sensible, and he will be an official member of our family in the future, Ai Ming's many brothers, you are happy!" ”

As he spoke, he held Ma Qin's hand with both hands, stared at his face and said kindly: "Child, remember, from now on, this is your ......"

～～～～～

Home, home?

In his previous life, Mark Qin has always been a family person, filial piety to his parents, and he is also running his own small family with his heart, only after working for many years can he realize what is home and what is the warmth of home. He didn't understand home until many years later, but once he missed some things, he would never have a chance again, and he would regret it for the rest of his life.

This year, the old man worked hard, Ai Ming became more and more sensible, studying, housework didn't have to worry, nothing big, boiled medicine for grandpa every day, watched TV, tutored homework, and did odd jobs.

Mark Qin traveled through time and space, became smaller, and discarded the utilitarian heart of his previous life, money, success, ideals, I didn't expect it, just like a glass of boiled water, plain, but pure peace of mind, translucent!

In the past year, the bits and pieces in the yard have long been in my heart, not just the pity, sympathy, and repayment that I think I have.......

So warm, only family can give you pure sunshine.

Ma Qin only felt that there was a heat permeating his limbs, and a kind of satisfaction filled his heart, as if there was nothing more important than this in the world, and there was nothing else to ask for.

Ma Qin hugged Ai Ming, took his grandfather's hand, looked at the kind men and women in the portrait, and said in a slightly immature voice: "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I will definitely take care of grandpa and Ai Ming!" ”

I wonder if my loved ones in the other world are okay?

……

The old man's body was clear to himself, and he asked Ai Ming to do his homework, and the old man left Mark Qin alone.

He helped the old man to lie on the bed, leaning on the pillow, the old man looked at him, the more he looked at him, the more he liked it, this year he took a look at what Mark Qin had done in his eyes and in his heart.

The old man held his hand and said slowly: "Xiao Qin, this year is really hard for you, although you are only twelve years old, but you usually talk and act like an adult, if it weren't for you, my body, I obviously don't know how difficult it is, alas"

"Grandpa, why don't you see me like this, if you hadn't taken me in at the beginning, I'm afraid I'll be homeless!"

"Good boy...... grandpa didn't misunderstand you", the old man was a little emotional, and continued: "I know my own body, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter, grandpa knows that you are not like ordinary children, you are very precocious, and you know everything."

The old man said in his heart that this child has suffered so much since he was a child, the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and in the mountains, many five or six-year-old babies will cut the grass to feed the pigs and work in the fields.

Thinking of this old man, he became more and more kind, as if discussing with an adult, and continued: "Obviously, her parents were gone when she was three years old, and the only thing I can't worry about is this child, usually in order not to make me sad, I sometimes hide and cry at night, I know this, no father and no mother, and she is not less bullied by children outside.......

Saying that, the old man left two lines of tears, and Ma Qin stepped forward to help the old man wipe his cheeks, comforted him and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will protect Ming Ming in the future, and I will never let people bully her again."

"Well, that's ......"

"Obviously, his father is my eldest son, and obviously he has a little aunt who went to study in the UK very early, and I was very opposed to it at the beginning, she hated me in her heart, those years, alas."

Ma Qin knew that what the old man was talking about should be the years of ideological turmoil not long after the reform and opening up.

"Later... Later, there has been no contact, the first two years only received a letter from her, knowing that she is married, with a foreigner, alas, I wrote a letter to her a while ago, I think after I leave, entrust the two of you to her, she is the only relative in the world, you will help grandpa take care of Ming Ming in the future, okay? ”

"Hmm," Mark nodded heavily.

The old man smiled, "I don't know if she can rush back", he looked at the west, looking at it, as if he had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and saw his little one.
