Without waiting for the child to react, Gu Jin turned around and left.
An Mingji, who was alone in the house, ate the yellow-faced steamed bun in one hand, and the water glass that Gu Jin handed him in the other, staring at the back of the other party as he left.
Until that figure disappeared from sight, An Mingji's seemingly clear eyes darkened instantly.
The light in his eyes was dull, mixed with pride and final stubbornness, as well as a gloom that didn't belong to his age.
Gu Jin who had already left did not see anything wrong with An Mingji.
How did she know that An Mingji, who had been abandoned long ago and lived alone in the village, had experienced all kinds of stares, beatings, and insults from the villagers, and he was no longer the innocent child he used to be.
After walking out of the room, Gu Jin glanced at the yard, and the figure of the old man sitting on the recliner had disappeared.
She looked at the closed door of one of the downstairs rooms opposite, and knew that the old man had already returned to the room.
If she wanted to keep An Mingji, she needed to discuss with the old man, get the other's consent, and go through the formalities at the grassroots level in the town.
She walked over and knocked lightly on the door of the old man's room.
"Boom..."
"Come in." The old man's voice sounded from inside.
Gu Jin pushed open the door and saw the old man lying on the kang.
The old man is afraid of the cold, and there is a kang in the house, which makes it easier to live in winter.
"Xiao Jin, what do you want to do with grandpa?"
The old man has never been close to Gu Jin, but he has never treated her badly.
Gu Jin approached the room, closed the door behind him, and walked towards the old man.
"Grandpa, I have something I want to discuss with you."
The old man took a deep look at her, sat up from the kang, crossed his legs, pointed to the side of the kang, and said, "Sit and talk."
Gu Jin went to sit in front of the kang, looked at the master's seemingly cloudy but wise eyes, lowered his eyes and said: "Grandpa, I want to keep Xiao An."
She didn't want to look up, because she didn't want the old man to see that she didn't belong to the soul of this age.
"Have you thought it through?"
There was disapproval in the old man's tone.
Gu Jin nodded: "Think it over, Xiaoan will live with me, I will raise him, as long as I have a bite to eat, I will give him half of it."
The old man snorted, "Can you afford it? What time is it? Have you forgotten why you can't go to school?"
Gu Jin frowned slightly, only then remembered that it was May, the day when she was supposed to go to school.
The reason why I don't go to school now is that there is no food, and the food cannot be distributed from above, so teachers and students have suspended classes.
Thinking back to long-term memories, but these have nothing to do with raising An Mingji.
Gu Jin raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him: "Grandpa, I think very clearly, I remember that my classmates in the town said that as long as you reach the age of eighteen, you can have a separate household registration.
I want to ask the village chief to report my age to be two years older, separate the households separately, then move Xiaoan to my account, and give Xiaoan half of my ration. "
The old man didn't make a sound, he reached out to pick up the tobacco rod on the side, refilled the tobacco and lit it.
The house was soon filled with smoke, and neither of the grandparents and grandsons spoke a word while sitting.
Looking at Gu Jin's face, the old man had to say that this girl's face was really pretty, she didn't look like their Gu family.
Everyone in the village knew that this child was not of their Gu family.
But after all, the Gu family has raised her for sixteen years, and they have developed feelings for her no matter what.
At this moment, the old man felt a little uncomfortable when he heard her say that she wanted to divide the household.
Seeing the old man's unhappy appearance, Gu Jin quickly understood what was going on.
