Luo Xiaohu followed Zhang Weiqiang all the way to Lihua Village, and was startled when he saw him Zhang Minzhen and Wen Xiu at the same time, and it was only a few days later that the two of them obviously remembered him, and when they knew the reason, not only the two sighed and laughed, but even the others sighed: "Isn't it just a meal?" ”

"My mother said that you have to be a man to repay your kindness, and I can't do anything else to repay you now, what is it that is just within my ability?" When I grow up and am a person who is genuinely good to me, I will definitely be genuinely better to him.

Luo Xiaohu finally had the opportunity to say the "standard answer" he had thought of a long time ago, and he couldn't help but take the initiative to add a sentence in his heart.

"Your mom is a good mom. Alas, it's a pity, how can she be relieved to see that you are like this now? His words caused several people in the Zhang family to sigh. Wen Xiu stroked his head and said lovingly, "Don't say it, hurry up and go to eat first, boil some water for you to wash well after eating, and stay in the future, it's not a problem for our family to eat without one more mouth." ”

After Wen Xiu finished speaking, he suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: "Look at me, are you confused?" Why don't you even ask what you mean and decide for yourself? Tell me, do you want us to send you back to your hometown or stay? ”

"Auntie, there is no one in my hometown, and I can't eat enough and go hungry when I go back, so it's best if I can stay." Luo Xiaohu couldn't wait to answer with a look of surprise on his face, he was afraid that others would not agree, so he secretly glanced around their faces and found that no one showed an opposing look, and he was immediately overjoyed and hurried to say, "Don't worry, I am very capable of working, and I am not afraid of hardship at all, and I don't eat much." ”

His words made everyone sad again. Wen Xiu, Zhang Minzhen, and Lin Qin couldn't help but wipe their eyes constantly. Wen Xiu touched Luo Xiaohu's head and smiled lovingly: "Okay, it's best to stay, our family is also short of people to work." Don't say anything else, go to eat first, wash up after eating, and then change your clothes. ”

Luo Xiaohu was overjoyed and knelt down with a "poof" to a few people, and then kowtowed a few times with a "knock knock".

"What are you doing here? This is a new society, you know no, how can you still thrive on this? Luo Xiaohu's movements startled everyone, relying on his nearest Wen Xiu and Zhang Minzhen hurriedly pulled him up to pat the dust on his legs, and when she patted it, she heard a puff, puff sound coming out, she was puzzled and wanted to reach out to pull his pants to see what was going on, Luo Xiaohu was startled, and quickly protected his trouser belt while struggling slightly while blushing and looking at her.

Zhang Minzhen didn't think much about looking at the pants, so he couldn't lift his torn cotton jacket full of holes, and everyone was surprised when they opened it, only to see that Luo Xiaohu's torn cotton jacket was full of old newspapers......

"This, this, it's not cold with this wind, it's like wearing an extra piece of clothing." Luo Xiaohu pulled the corner of his clothes with embarrassment to explain.

"I'll go and find out if there are any old clothes for Zhang Su and Zhang Kai, so he can wear them, sort out one or two sets first." Lin Qin turned around and left, her steps were a little hurried, and she could still be seen raising her hand to wipe her tears from the back.

"I'll go and bring out the breakfast, and then boil the pot of hot water, Mom, you take him to the hall and wait." Zhang Minzhen also had red eyes, didn't dare to wait long, turned her head and went to the kitchen first.

"I'm going to wash my hands." Luo Xiaohu couldn't help but show a little admiration in his eyes when he looked at her leaving, but soon came back to his senses when Wen Xiu pulled him to the hall, and quickly ran to the well to fetch a bucket of water by himself, poured it out obliquely, and washed his hands carefully in turn.

......

"If you don't look at the clothes, this kid really doesn't look like a little beggar, and the attention is that most people don't have the same energy as him." After Luo Xiaohu was sent to the bathroom to soak in the wooden barrel after eating and drinking, several adults of the Zhang family gathered in the kitchen to talk, Wen Xiu sighed, "By the way, Qiangzi, have you asked him where he came from?" How old is he? Since we have left people behind, we still have to ask these questions clearly. ”

"Asked. It is from a small village called Baoping at the bottom of Guangming County, Tingyang City, Jin Province next door. The boy himself said that his parents were gone when he was five or six years old, and he grew up eating hundreds of meals, and now he is almost fifteen years old, because it is always difficult to fill his stomach in the village, and he sees someone in the village who goes out to work and earns money and comes back, he thinks that he will definitely be able to feed him outside, so he runs out regardless of it. As a result, because he looked too young, he was dry and thin, and no one was willing to accept him for work, so he could only walk around by half-begging and half-odd jobs, and wherever he went, it counted......," Zhang Weiqiang told his family about the situation he inquired about from Luo Xiaohu, and then said, "Coincidentally, I also have a comrade-in-arms in Tingyang City, or the public security system, I will call him and ask him to help check it out." ”

"It's good to look it up, it will be more reassuring in the end." Zhang Dazhuang nodded.

"I don't think he looks like he can lie, and the hygienic kids are always painful." Wen Xiu had a good impression of Luo Xiaohu, and then she was a little puzzled, "But I remember the first time I saw him, his hands were black." ”

"Ahem. When I asked him why he came to our store every day to do cleaning, he said, "Except when my mother was still there, no one else cares if my hands are clean when I eat." When Zhang Weiqiang said more, his emotions had calmed down, but as soon as these words came out, they still made everyone else silent all of a sudden.

"In this world, children without mothers are the most pitiful." Zhang Minzhen finally whispered, attracting everyone's nods, and then sighed again.

The family took in a little beggar, and he happened to be from Baoping Village, Guangming County, Jin Province......

Called Luo Xiaohu?

When Lu Yun got up for breakfast, her first reaction when she heard the news from her mother's mouth was to frown, she poked the porridge in the bowl with chopsticks, and felt that her appetite was lost for a while, "Baoping Village" This is definitely the place she hates the most, and she never wants to hear it again in her life.

Also, why does the name Luo Xiaohu sound so familiar? Just thinking about it, the voice of her mother Zhang Minzhen came from the door, and Gu Nuannuan listened attentively when she heard that her mother was obviously talking to Luo Xiaohu.

"Xiaohu, didn't I tell you to sleep again, why are you still sweeping the floor here? The ground is not dirty, what is there to sweep a few leaves? Our family doesn't pay so much attention to it. You said that you get up too early in the morning, if you don't make up for sleep, you don't get enough sleep, just your age, you are almost fifteen years old, and there is no difference between eleven or twelve years old, and if you don't pay attention, you will not grow tall in the future, so you cry? ”

"Aunt Zhen is fine, I'm not sleepy at all, I'm just late to grow taller, and I will definitely grow taller in the future." Luo Xiaohu came in with a shy voice.

Gu Nuannuan was suddenly stunned, she remembered, she remembered who this Luo Xiaohu was--
