Gu Qitai couldn't hear home for a long time, and asked again: "What's wrong? I'm homesick."

It was only then that Han Xiaotian realized that what he was talking about was the hometown he made up indiscriminately.

He raised his hand to wipe the teardrops from the corners of his eyes, and said softly, "A little bit, but there's nothing there anymore, so it doesn't matter if you go back or not."

Gu Qitai turned over, turned his face outward, and looked at Han Xiaotian: "Then do you want to settle in Gu's Village?"

"Settled?" Han Xiaotian wondered, what do you mean?

"Yes, you don't have a household registration here, right? It's very troublesome if you don't have a household registration. You can't get married or funeral, and you can't buy land." Gu Qitai continued.

Han Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, he had never thought about this kind of thing, but after thinking about it, in modern times, he can't even go to kindergarten without a registered permanent residence, so he understands.

"Third uncle can help me?" Since Gu Qitai brought it up, there must be a solution, but it was just mentioned so suddenly, why?

"Yes, I just need Xiaotian to agree to one condition." Gu Qitai said with some hesitation.

"What conditions?" Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

"Let me think again, let me think again, go to sleep." After finishing speaking, Gu Qitai turned over and went face inside.

Han Xiaotian was angry and helpless, you said there was something wrong with this person, half-spoken, I don't know that this is the most tantalizing.However, what conditions can Gu Qitai have?

According to the plot of "Farewell to the Man Before My Eyes", Gu Qitai is already terminally ill and will pass away soon. Gu Xiuyuan is the only one he can use to ask Han Xiaotian. If traffickers abduct them, they will be ruined forever.

If one deduces from this line of thinking, he must have made him and Gu Xiuyuan sworn brothers and then took care of Gu Xiuyuan.But what is there to think about again and again, is it because he is afraid that he will not agree?

On the other hand, if Gu Qitai really proposed this condition, Han Xiaotian might not necessarily agree to it. He already knew that this sworn vow would cost him his life. For the sake of his life, it is better to stay far away from Gu Xiu. .

Thinking of this, Han Xiaotian fell asleep in a daze, and was awakened by a cough in the morning, he patted Gu Qitai on the back with ease, and after a while, Gu Qitai stopped coughing.

At this time, there was already a faint light outside, Han Xiaotian brought a water glass from the table and handed it to Gu Qitai, only to find that the corners of his lips were bright red, what he coughed was not phlegm, but blood!

"Third Uncle! Hurry up and whisper, how could this happen?"

Gu Qitai was sitting on the bed, he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand, it seemed that since arriving home yesterday, the breath he had been holding on had relaxed, and his condition suddenly became serious.

He shook his head, gasped for a while and said, "Do you remember what I said yesterday?"

Han Xiaotian nodded hastily: "I remember."

"Go and help me call your fifth uncle, and then I will tell you my conditions."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Han Xiaotian hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out, almost colliding with Gu Xiuyuan who got up when he heard the coughing sound.

"Xiaoyuan got up, just as you were looking at your father, I'll go find Uncle Wu." After speaking, Han Xiaotian hurried to Gu Qifu's house.

As soon as Gu Qifu saw Han Xiaotian calling him, he had a bad feeling in his heart. When Han Xiaotian described Gu Qitai's symptoms, which was the same as Gu Qitai's father before his death, his face changed. He talked to his wife and followed Han Xiaotian. Run to Gu Qitai's house.

"Third brother, how are you?" Gu Qifu asked as soon as he entered the room.

At this time, Gu Qitai had already recovered, only coughed occasionally, and was still sitting against the head of the bed. When he saw Gu Qifu coming in, he smiled slightly: "Qi Fu is here, sit down." Then he looked at Xiaoyuan and Xiaotian: "You first Go out, I have something to say to your Fifth Uncle."

Gu Xiuyuan was a little reluctant, but he didn't move Gu Qitai and kept looking at him, and finally Han Xiaotian couldn't stand it anymore, and pulled him out.

As soon as he left the house, Gu Xiuyuan shook off Han Xiaotian's hand, recalled what his father said just now, and gave him an awkward look, but he didn't lose his temper, and sat down under the eaves.

The wind in the morning was still a bit cool, especially under the eaves. Gu Xiuyuan, who was wearing thin clothes, was shivering from the cold and had to stand up and stamp his feet.

When Grandpa Han Xiaotian passed away, he also experienced these things. Seeing Gu Xiuyuan shrinking his neck was a little pitiful, he stepped forward and took his hand: "Come with me to the kitchen, it's warmer there, I'll make breakfast."

Han Xiaotian's palm was rough and thick, with a scalding temperature that passed from Gu Xiuyuan's palm to his heart, and for some reason, tears flowed out so unexpectedly.

He took a peek at Han Xiaotian and found that he didn't notice his crying, so he hurriedly wiped away the tears with his other hand, then lowered his head and let Han Xiaotian drag him away.

Gu Qitai kept listening to the movement outside, and after they both went to the kitchen, he looked at Gu Qifu and said calmly: "Qi Fu, I want Xiaotian and Xiaoyuan to become brothers."

Originally, Gu Qifu thought that he would hear such things as death care, but he didn't expect it to be this. He stood up abruptly: "Third brother, although we have examples of brothers who are bonded, they are all too poor to live on." This is the kind of family, and Xiao Yuan is a promising person, how could you be willing to..."

Gu Qitai smiled miserably, and interrupted him: "Listen to me, you have seen my body, and I can't survive for a few days. To tell you the truth, because of my illness, I am already penniless. I will die , it's quite easy, but Xiao Yuan is only ten years old, so I have to find someone to trust me to."

"Third brother, even if that's the case, there are still us uncles and brothers, we can't make it to this point!"

"It's not easy for any of you."

Gu Qifu looked at Gu Qitai, who was coughing from time to time, with a pale face, hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, and said: "Or return the school field to you, even if Xiaoyuan rents it out, it will be enough for him to eat."

Gu Qitai looked at him appreciatively, thinking, it's a good job, but he still shook his head: "Do you think you can still ask for it back, even if you force it back, won't the people in the village resent Xiaoyuan? How to gain a foothold in the village."

That's right, who wants to spit out those who have eaten it? Over the years, the people in the village have benefited from the school field, so how can it be possible to keep them from eating it again?

Gu Qitai saw that he had listened to his own words, and continued: "Since I hand over the school field to the clan to take care of it, it belongs to the clan, and I will not come back, so that the clan will appreciate my kindness and will treat you well." Xiaoyuan is better, so I feel relieved."

Gu Qifu continued to think of a way. The third brother didn't want to hand over Xiaoyuan to the care of the tribe. Firstly, he was afraid of hurting the tribe. Secondly, it was probably because the third brother didn't have any brothers. They were all uncles, so they were separated by a layer. Xiaoyuan's mother should still have relatives. Thinking of this, he asked, "Then, where is Xiaoyuan's mother's family?"

Gu Qitai had long expected that Gu Qifu would ask these questions, and said frankly: "I am not married, Xiaoyuan is my adopted child."

Gu Qifu didn't expect this to be the answer. He walked back and forth in the room, and it was enough time for a cup of tea before he stopped: "Third brother has already made up his mind?"

"Yes, on the way back, I was thinking of finding a family with a foreign surname in the village to form a bond, but I didn't expect you to have prepared a ready-made one for me." Gu Qitai joked.

Gu Qifu interjected: "Xiaotian, although I haven't been in contact with him for a long time, he has a flexible mind and quick hands and feet. The important thing is that he is kind. With me watching, he will not bully Xiaoyuan."

"That's good, the only thing is, I'll ask you to watch it."

Gu Qifu was waiting for Gu Qitai to continue talking, but people just looked at him and didn't speak, so he could only ask, "What?"

A trace of annoyance flashed across Gu Qitai's eyes, this man is so dumb-headed: "Xiaoyuan is still young, you remind Xiaotian, let them not be too early..."

In the end, Gu Qitai fell in love once, but only talked about a spiritual love. When the two were most intimate, they just held hands in passion and ended in courtesy, and there was almost no sound at the end of the conversation.

Fortunately, Gu Qifu has three children, so he understood immediately, and nodded again and again: "It's still the third brother who is thoughtful."

After discussing this matter, he started to talk about the settlement. Although Gu Qifu is the head of a village, he has not yet had the right to register people. This has to be reported to the town, and then handed over to the county. Fortunately, this county Ling is a protégé of Gu Qitai's friend. He wrote a copy of the book and handed it to Gu Qifu, asking him to hand it over to the county magistrate. Then he took out a purse from under the pillow and handed it to him, asking him to help prepare for the contract.

It wasn't until Han Xiaotian finished breakfast that Gu Qitai explained everything.

Han Xiaotian stayed with Gu Qifu for dinner, but he politely declined, and when he was about to go home, he turned his head and asked Gu Qitai: "Third brother, did Xiaotian agree to that?"

Seeing Gu Qitai nodding, he left in peace.

Han Xiaotian brought the rice bowl into the east room, and asked: "I agreed to what, third uncle, why does it feel like you and fifth uncle are playing charades?"

Gu Qitai took a sip of porridge before saying: "You promised me the conditions last night, you won't forget."

"How come? So you have thought about it? What are the conditions?"

"I want you and Xiaotian to become brothers, do you dare to agree?"

Sure enough, Han Xiaotian expected this to happen a long time ago, let the two become sworn brothers, and then he can justifiably live here and have a family, and Gu Xiuyuan will also be taken care of.

Judging from the current situation, this is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, but Han Xiaotian thought about being killed by Gu Xiuyuan's wives later, so he didn't want to agree.

Just as he was lost in thought, Gu Xiuyuan kicked the table angrily at the side: "How dare you not agree!"

His eyes were red and tears were shining, and he tried his best to prevent the tears from falling.Originally, when his father told him about this, he was not very willing, but when he thought that he had to cling to Han Xiaotian like a woman in order to survive, he felt aggrieved, this fellow dared to despise him!
