Before noon, Lin Ru hurried back.

The first thing she did when she entered the door was to look around, and when she saw Xu Fan's figure in the stove room, she was secretly relieved.

Naturally, Xu Fan also heard the squeak of the door opening, he stood up, shook the water stains on his hands, and said with a smile: "Mother, you are back." ”

Lin Ru took a rag distressedly, and after carefully wiping the water stains on his hands, he said angrily: "Didn't I tell you, you can wait for me to come back and do these things." ”

Xu Fan smiled and said indifferently: "Mother, you also underestimate me, it's still okay to wash a dish, come and see, is it clean or not?" ”

Lin Ru glanced at it, gently touched Xu Fan's head, and said softly: "What Xiaofan does is excellent. ”

Xu Fan nodded contentedly, and suddenly seemed to think of something, raised his head and said to Lin Ru: "Mother, when I was looking for you in the morning, I picked up a brother. ”

Regarding Xu Fan and Zhang Min picking up a little beggar, Lin Ru knew about it.

Butcher Zhang came over earlier, took a look at Li Haotian and left.

Thinking that he was not at ease, he ran to the field again and deliberately told Lin Ru about it.

As for how to deal with this picked up teenager, he still had to respect Lin Ru's opinion, which was why Lin Ru hurried back before noon.

Lin Ru took Xu Fan's hand and walked from the stove room to the main house.

Li Haotian had already washed his body with the help of Xu Fan, and Xu Fan threw away all the clothes on his body.

said that it was clothes, but in fact it had long become a strip of cloth that could barely cover important parts.

Beggars shouldn't all look ragged.

Li Haotian is also a strong character, although he is still very weak, he washed his body with the help of Xu Fan and changed into Xu Fan's old clothes.

It's a shame that he is skinny and skinny, otherwise he is a little taller than Xu Fan, if he is stronger, Xu Fan's clothes really can't be fitted.

Hearing the movement outside the door, Li Haotian had already woken up, and looking at Xiao Xu Fan snuggled in Lin Ru's arms, a trace of envy flashed in the eyes of the young Li Haotian.

After Lin Ru entered the house, she saw Li Haotian sitting against the wall, she showed a gentle smile and said, "You lie down first, Xiaofan will accompany you to talk, I will cook for you, and treat this place as my home." ”

"Uh-huh, well, good, okay."

Li Haotian is ten years old, and years of exile have made him more precocious and a little more vigilant than his peers.

However, whether it was Xu Fan who rescued him back, or Zhang Min, or Lin Ru who left just after saying a word.

He could feel the sincerity and love in them, something he had never felt since he was a child, and something he had so strongly desired.

Therefore, Li Haotian, who was originally articulate, stuttered several times in an hour.

The courtyard is not big, and the stove room can be seen from the window of the main house, Li Haotian quietly looked at Lin Ru's busy figure in the stove room, and felt stable and satisfied for the first time in his heart.

Xu Fan didn't think about it so much, pulled the quilt over his lap, and asked, "Why did you faint in the grove again?" ”

Li Haotian groaned for a while, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, and said: "There was a flood in our place, I followed the crowd all the way to ask for food, after arriving here, yesterday some people went to the field to steal grain, I didn't go, plus I haven't eaten for a few days, and I fainted while walking." ”

"Then why don't you go with them to the fields, uh, take it?"

In order to avoid embarrassment, Xu Fan deliberately avoided the word stealing.

Li Haotian's eyes were burning, and he said: "My husband has something to do and something to do, although I haven't read a book, I also know etiquette, righteousness and shame." I'd rather beg for food, even if I starve to death, than do that lewd business of stealing chickens and dogs. ”

After a pause, he said word by word:

"The poorest thing is to ask for food, and if you don't die, you will come out in the end!"

At this moment, Xu Fan seemed to vaguely see some of his own shadows from Li Haotian.

Although the two have different experiences, they both continue to work hard to survive, although they are hard, but their beliefs are unwavering.

"What about your parents?"

Hearing Xu Fan's question, Li Haotian's originally bright eyes gradually dimmed, bit his lip tightly, and said sentimentally: "Actually, I haven't seen them since I was born, I grew up in a pile of beggars, and my name was given to me by the beggars who took me in at the beginning." It's just that after they died, walked, and flooded, I was left alone. ”

Xu Fan didn't know how to feel, although he was terminally ill, after all, he had Lin Ru's mother's meticulous care and love for him.

He couldn't imagine how Li Haotian grew up alone, and the pain in it may only be known to him.

Xu Fan patted Li Haotian, who was sitting on the bed, on the shoulder, but he couldn't say a word.

Not long after, Lin Ru walked in with a hot meal, instructed Xu Fan to put the kang table on the bed, and then put the food on the kang table.

"Xiaofan, Xiaotian, you're all hungry, eat some first, it's important to fill your stomach."

Looking at the white rice in front of him, as well as the steaming dishes, listening to Lin Ru's caring and soft voice, thinking of his own situation since he was a child, no one has ever been so kind to him.

For a while, Li Haotian burst into tears, picked up the bowl and devoured it without saying a word, mixed with a whining and suppressed cry, and even forgot the words of thanks.

Lin Ru smiled knowingly, and Xu Fan also silently picked up the bowl and ate it one bite at a time.

Soon a month passed, and Li Haotian was in Xu Fan's house, and after this month of cultivation, earth-shaking changes took place.

Compared to the appearance of a beggar with skin and bones at the beginning, he is now much stronger.

During this time, Lin Ru sewed several clothes for Li Haotian by hand, although they were all ordinary coarse linen clothes, Li Haotian cherished them very much.

Even Zhang Butcher and his wife often come over, and when they saw Li Haotian's changes, they couldn't help but sigh: This baby is so handsome!

That's right, Li Haotian, who has meat on his body, finally matched his eyes.

If you grow up a little more, it is estimated that some people will praise you: The son is unparalleled in the world, and the stranger is like jade.

Moreover, Xu Fan found that he was very smart, and Li Haotian, who barely knew a few big characters, had learned seventy-seven eighty-eight in a month under the teaching of Xu Fan, a private gentleman.

It can be called unforgettable, talented and intelligent!

"Brother Fan, Brother Tian, are you at home?"

Xiao Zhang Min's voice came from the door.

In the past month, because of the addition of new partners, Xu Fan and Zhang Min have become a little more angry than before.

Xu Fan and Li Haotian in the room reluctantly put down their books, stood up and walked out.

Zhang Min is slightly smarter than the other children in the town, but after all, he is still young, too lazy, and too playful.

After Li Haotian gradually recovered from his body, he wanted to go to the field to help Lin Ru work, but he was warned to follow Xu Fan to study hard.

Walking into the house and seeing the books on the table, Zhang Min pouted and said, "Brother Tian follows Brother Fan, it's not fun at all, you know how to read books all day long." ”

Hearing this, Xu Fan spread his hands helplessly, but Li Haotian quipped: "Xiaomin, you should read as hard as we do, and hang your nose all day long, when will you get rid of the name Snot Girl, haha." ”

Zhang Min stomped his feet and said angrily: "Brother Tian is bad at learning, and he will make fun of others, hum!" ”

Xu Fan walked over, rubbed Zhang Min's head, and said with a smile: "Your brother Tian is right, is it true that Xiao Min still has to hang his nose when he grows up?" ”

Zhang Min's eyes circled a few times, as if he was also thinking about this problem, and there was a sound of sucking and sucking in the middle.

Seeing this, Li Haotian and Xu Fan laughed.

This year, Li Haotian was ten years old, Xu Fan was eight years old, and Zhang Min was six years old.

The three of them quarreled for a while, put away the book, Xu Fan looked at the sun, and just after the hour, he said, "Let's go to the grove, right?" ”

Li Haotian had no opinion on Xu Fan's proposal, and Zhang Min was even more jumpy.

After all, she came to play with them, and the grove was the only happy valley for the children in Yaoshan Town.

So, Xu Fan put away the book, closed the door and said hello to the Zhang butcher next door, and the three children walked towards the grove with a smile.

After a long absence, they came to this place again, and the three of them felt deeply.

Zhang Min was the most lively, walked to a big tree, pointed to the root of the tree and said, "Brother Tian, do you remember, this is where Brother Fan and I found you." ”

Li Haotian shook his head, he walked through the fields in a daze, and he had no impression of how he got to the grove.

Zhang Min gestured there, which gave Li Haotian a new understanding of what happened a month ago.

Because, in the process of cultivating this month, although Xu Fan and the three of them were together, they were also confined to home.

Seeing Li Haotian's eyes, Xu Fan waved his hand and said, "Let's not mention the past, now we have to look forward." ”

"Well, I'll definitely find a cure for you!"

Li Haotian nodded heavily, and said to Xu Fan, as if he was talking to himself.

"Brother Fan, I will definitely find you a lot of medicine to make you better."

Hearing Li Haotian's sworn words, Zhang Min was not far behind.

"Hehe, then I'll thank you."

Xu Fan chuckled.

In fact, Xu Fan didn't have much hope for his illness.

There are many doctors in Yaoshan Town, and there are also some famous doctors who pass by here. No matter who it was, after taking Xu Fan's pulse, he could only shake his head.

Even the flavor of Tianxin grass was when Xu Fan was six years old when he was particularly seriously ill, and a doctor passing by after treating him found a few weeds in an inconspicuous corner after searching the medicine mountain: Tianxin grass.

Ordinary people don't pay much attention to it, because Tianxin grass is very special, only in the middle of the night when the moonlight shines on it, it will have a faint light on its body, just like the stars in the sky, so it is called Tianxin grass.

This herb cannot cure Xu Fan's disease, but it can play a certain delaying role.

However, the entire medicine mountain is rare, so Lin Ru will spare a few hours every day to go to the medicine mountain to look for it.

At this moment, the voices of other teenagers were heard in the distance.
