90s of the last century.

Two years before Gu Qingcen was born, his parents met.

His father, Gu Feng, was a power engineer who worked in the Lianhai Power Supply Bureau.

Her mother, Li Xiaowan, is a nurse who works at the First People's Hospital of Lianhai City.

Gu Feng is the male of the three generations of the Gu family.

Li Xiaowan is an orphan, because of a slight hearing disability in her left ear, so no one has been adopted, in the orphanage until the age of 16 was admitted to the nursing school, after graduating from the nursing school into the Lianhai City First People's Hospital as a nurse.

Gu Feng fell down a hill during a field job, broke his leg, and was sent to the First People's Hospital for hospitalization.

The nurse in charge of Gu Feng at that time was Li Xiaowan.

Gu Feng fell in love with Li Xiaowan at first sight, and continued to pursue Li Xiaowan after being discharged from the hospital.

Li Xiaowan, who has no sense of family belonging since she was a child, experienced love and family affection for the first time.

A few months later, the two confirmed their relationship, and when Gu Feng brought Li Xiaowan to his family, the marriage between the two was opposed by the Gu family.

Gu Feng's parents thought that Li Xiaowan was disabled and an orphan, and she did not match her appearance or family status.

Gu Feng decided that Li Xiaowan, despite the opposition of her parents, the two received a marriage certificate, pooled money, and bought a wedding house in Xinhai Garden Community.

In the second year, their child Gu Qingcen was born.

Also born in the same year is the downstairs neighbor Gu Jiashu.

Gu Jiashu is two months older than Gu Qingcen.

Gu's mother and Li Xiaowan are colleagues, and the two work as nurses in the People's Hospital.

The colleague is also a neighbor, and the children were born one after the other, so the two families get along very well.

During the small talk, Gu's mother knew about Li Xiaowan and her mother-in-law's family, and persuaded Li Xiaowan that since their eldest grandson was born, it was a good time for the two families to ease their relationship.

Gu Feng and Li Xiaowan took Gu Qingcen, who was still a baby, back to her grandparents' house.

As Gu's mother said, Gu Qingcen's grandparents accepted the marriage.

Because of this incident, the relationship between Gu Feng's two families became closer.

In the second year after Gu Jiashu was born, Gu Yanan came to this home.

Gu Jiashu, Gu Yanan and Gu Qingcen are childhood sweethearts, who grew up together since childhood, and went to the same kindergarten to study in the same primary school and the same middle school.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, when Gu Qingcen was 13 years old, his mother Li Xiaowan suddenly fell ill.

Li Xiaowan, who was 37 years old at the time, began to have involuntary tremors on her face, and immediately followed by problems with her hands and feet, her memory deteriorated, and she had a tendency to depression.

The mother, who smiled gently and gently, suddenly seemed to be a different person, no longer caring about the things around her, and she couldn't even do her job.

Seeking medical attention, the doctor's diagnosis was neurodegenerative disease.

In the second month of returning home to recuperate, Li Xiaowan, who was tormented by illness and depression, committed suicide by jumping off a building on a rainy night.

Li Xiaowan's death was a great blow to the Gu family.

Gu Feng lost his lover, and his spirit collapsed from then on.

Gu Qingcen lost her mother and became a single-parent child.

Disasters are not alone, Gu Qingcen's grandparents were in a car accident while attending Li Xiaowan's funeral, and both died.

His lover committed suicide, his parents died, and Gu Feng, who was sad and depressed, was diagnosed with lung cancer two years later.

Just two months after lung cancer was detected, Gu Feng also died.

15-year-old Gu Qingcen became an orphan.

There are no parents, no grandparents, no grandparents, and several distant relatives are unwilling to adopt him.

Gu's mother's family, who live downstairs, decided to help Gu Qingcen.

First, he was sent upstairs for three meals a day, and then for convenience, he was directly called downstairs to eat together, sometimes Gu Qingcen felt scared at night, and lived in the same room as Gu Jiashu.

Although Gu Jiashu is only two months older than Gu Qingcen, he is one grade higher than him at school, and Gu Qingcen and Gu Yanan are in the same grade and class.

When encountering academic problems, Gu Jiashu often tutored the two.

Not long after, Gu Qingcen moved directly downstairs and lived with Gu Jiashu's family.

When they were in junior high school, the three of them often went to school together and left school, and in the third year of junior high school, Gu Jiashu was promoted to the first year of high school, and he was not in the same school as the two of them, and he did not go to school well, so only Gu Qingcen and Gu Yanan were left as companions on the way to school.

Fifteen or sixteen years old is the time to grow up, the two of them often have breakfast at home in the morning, and in less than two hours, they will be hungry again, Gu Qingcen will secretly run out of school, go to the nearby intersection bun shop to buy two baskets of xiaolongbao and bring them back to Gu Yanan.

On weekends, the three of them would go out to play together.

In addition to studying, Gu's mother enrolled Gu Jiashu and Gu Qingcen in martial arts classes, and Gu Yanan in dance classes.

Gu Qingcen was worried that Gu Yanan had any accidents in the dance class, and every time he didn't take a good martial arts class, he secretly went to Gu Yanan's dance class to learn together.

Among the many interest classes that Gu's mother chose for the three of them, Gu Qingcen likes the pottery class the most, because in this class, he can always make all kinds of favorite ceramic works with Gu Yanan, including a set of his favorite ceramic cups, with cartoon characters representing everyone, Gu Dad, Gu Mama, Gu Jiashu, Gu Yanan and him, like a family of 5, he likes this feeling very much.

With the help of Gu Yanan's family, Gu Qingcen gradually came out of the shadow of the loss of his parents and returned to becoming a sunny boy.

Later, Gu Jiashu was admitted to medical university first, and he and Gu Yanan entered the third year of high school, and the two went to and from school together, and they were inseparable every day.

There were neighbors around who joked with Gu's mother, "Your family is so good to Gu Qingcen, you have found a son-in-law." ”

Gu's mother: "I raised Qingcen as a son." ”

"As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son, and if you raise him as a son now, you will be a son-in-law in the future."

Gu's mother liked Gu Qingcen very much, thinking that it would be a good choice if he became a son-in-law in the future, the neighbors were joking like this, Gu's mother was a little happy, but thinking that the two of them were still young, it was not easy to say anything, just laughed with the neighbors, "The children are still young, it's too early to talk about these things, you can't talk nonsense in front of the children." ”

The neighbors talked a lot, and occasionally Gu Qingcen would hear it once or twice.

Regarding the rumors of the neighbors, Gu Qingcen was very happy in his heart, if he could be with Gu Yanan in the future, he would be able to protect her for the rest of his life, which was also his greatest wish.

When filling in the college entrance examination, Gu Yanan decided to study medicine, and Gu Qingcen also decided to study medicine, and applied for the same school and department with Gu Yanan, and was lucky to enter the same class.

After a few years in college, the two were inseparable.

Gu Qingcen wanted to confess to Gu Yanan, but she felt that the words she confessed were pale and weak, she should understand what he was thinking, as long as he stayed by her side, the two of them would definitely come to fruition after graduation.
