As soon as this question came out, a look of pain quickly flashed in Chu Lin's eyes. It took him a long time before he spoke, "It's a long story. That was more than ten years ago, and the conditions at home were not good. Every day, I would chop wood and pick it up into the city to sell it. That day, as usual, I went out in the middle of the night with firewood, and when I arrived in the city, it was already noon the next day. Because firewood is often sold, there are several regular customers. ”

"That day, I sold the firewood to one of them. After selling firewood, I was getting ready to go home. Passing by a courtyard, I saw a man carrying a little girl out on his back. He left the girl on the side of the road and ran into the yard again. ”

"Watching him throw the little girl outside, I started to think that he didn't want the child. Later, when I heard the little girl's cry, I realized that the yard was on fire. I tried to help, but the fire suddenly broke out. I could only watch as the man went in and never came out. ”

"Later, I stayed by the little girl's side and waited with her. Wait until she stops crying, tired, and when the house has burned to the ground, and then leaves with the little girl. ”

"I took the child home, and after she woke up, she kept crying, looking for her father, looking for her mother, no matter how much I and your sister-in-law coaxed. It wasn't until she was tired of crying and fell asleep that it was better. ”

She cried and cried for half a month. Then one day, she suddenly stopped crying and stopped looking for her parents. We thought she had figured it out, only to find out later that she had forgotten what had happened before, even her parents. ”

"Since then, she has started calling me and your sister-in-law's parents, and we have raised her as our own daughter. Until you found it, we didn't notice that Ran Ran remembered the past. ”

Jing Che was stunned for a moment, unable to speak for a long time. He didn't expect things to be like this, but he actually forgot what happened before.

But when he went to her that day and told her that he was her uncle, he didn't notice anything strange about Ran Ran. When did her memory come back?

But now, this is not the time to get to the bottom of it. What's more, even if he asked Chu Lin, he didn't know. For this reason, after coming back to his senses, Jing Che asked, "Brother Chu, in addition to bringing Ran Ran back that day, did you find anything else?" ”

"Discovery?" Chu Lin frowned, thought hard for a while, and finally shook his head. His mind was on his little daughter at that time, so how could he have time to care about anything else.

Jing Che was a little disappointed, but he still didn't want to give up, and said, "Brother Chu, you think about it carefully and see if there is anything abnormal." ”

Chu Lin was not a fool either, he just didn't hear it at first. When Jing Che mentioned this again, he immediately understood the sound of his words, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked, "Her uncle, what do you mean?" ”

"Brother Chu, I won't hide it from you, I suspect that the fire in Ran Ran's house was deliberately set on fire." Jing Che directly said his suspicions, and Chu Lin's expression became solemn.

"Uncle, to tell you the truth, after I brought Ran Ran back, I went to the city several times and inquired about the fire. But the comrades at the police station told me that it was an accident. ”

"Accidents, many accidents in this world are man-made."

"This?" Chu Lin was speechless. At that time, the comrades at the police station said that it was an accident, and he really believed that it was an accident.

But if it's not an accident, how cruel is the person behind it to do such a thing of burning a living person to death.

"Brother Chu, please think about it again when you have time, even if you can think of a little abnormality, it is a clue for me and Ran Ran."

"Okay, I'll have time to think about it." Chu Lin agreed. Anyway, Chu Anran is also his daughter now, and he should do his part for her.

By the time the two of them walked around the village and went back, they had gone from two to three. They went to a food processing factory and called Chu Han to go home together.

Back at home, Chu Anran and his mother Liu Jia had already prepared a meal and were preparing to set the table. But Grandpa Chu and Elder Zheng were still chatting, and when they saw Grandma Chu coming out with the dishes, the two old men stopped talking.

"Brother Zheng, it's time to eat, let's go wash our hands and eat." Grandpa Chu took the lead in standing up and beckoned Elder Zheng to wash his hands in the courtyard.

Zheng Lao followed and walked out, and Yang Zhi had already made water for them. Because I was afraid that the two old men would be cold, I deliberately mixed hot water in the basin.

The two had just finished washing their hands, and when they saw Chu Lin coming back with Jing Che and his son, Grandma Chu said with a smile: "It's time to come back, wash your hands and eat quickly." ”

By the time the men had washed their meals, the women had already put their meals on the table.

Today's dishes are quite hearty, with chicken, meat, fish, and soup. Of course, greens are essential.

Speaking of which, it's better to be a farmer, even in winter, there are vegetables to eat. Just like now, there are several greens on the table, shredded cabbage, shredded celery and pork, leek eggs, garlic cabbage, and a radish pork rib soup.

In addition to green vegetables, there are also a lot of hard dishes, there are six, braised pork, boiled fish fillet, stewed chicken with mushrooms, plum cabbage button meat, fried bacon with green peppers, and spicy chicken.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Jing Che couldn't help but praise: "Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really good, this table is full of dishes and fragrance, just smelling it makes me have a great appetite." ”

"Her uncle, don't praise me, these dishes are all fried. Her craftsmanship is much better than mine, and you can taste it later. ”

"Is this dish stir-fried?" Zheng Lao was surprised when he heard this, but he didn't expect that this dish comparable to that made by the hotel chef was actually made by Chu Anran, a little girl.

"Yes, uncle, you can eat more in a while. This boiled fish fillet is smooth and tender, the mushroom stewed chicken is fresh and fragrant, or the braised pork is soft and glutinous, and the plum cabbage button meat is also rotten, which is suitable for the elderly to eat. ”

"Okay, I'll taste it." Zheng Lao laughed and took the lead in putting chopsticks on the braised pork.

Yang Zhi looked at it and wanted to stop it, but in the end he didn't say anything. Forget it, Zheng Lao is rarely happy today, so let him take a bite.

After Zheng Lao paid for it, this dish was really good, and this braised pork was more authentic than those big restaurants in the capital. If it weren't for his body, he would have eaten a few more pieces.

Jing Che didn't have Zheng Lao's worries, he kept putting down his chopsticks, and he was happy to eat.

As for Yang Zhi eating silently, he also kept chopsticks. More than a dozen dishes, after a meal, eat cleanly. All of them also ate with a round belly, and they all ate enough.
