[Seven-five] Sunflowers are warm

Xu Xiangyang misses Bao'er, but because of the awkward relationship with Ding Yuehua, he dare not approach him easily to make fun of him.After hesitating for a long time, he went over to have a look on the grounds of delivering egg custard.Zhan Zhao was there when she went, thinking of Ding Yuehua's indifference when he mentioned that day, she was a little bit hesitant.Nervously left the custard, teased Bao'er a little, then hurriedly resigned.Zhan Zhao also resigned together and walked with her.

She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she was out of Ding Yuehua's sight. Ding Yuehua's sad gaze filled her with a sense of guilt.Zhan Zhao tilted his head, seeing that she was five steps away from him, he couldn't help feeling that she had avoided him so much.He thinks he is still kind to her, why is this so?Taking two steps closer to her, he said: "I mentioned to my lord that brother Guan wanted to adopt Bao'er, and my lord agreed. Please come to meet me tomorrow with brother Guan, thank him for his help that day, and mention the matter of adoption."

Xu Xiangyang showed joy, and if Brother Guan could get what he wanted, she would also be happy for him.Suddenly, she thought of Mrs. Lin's son. She heard that her son had joined the army and hadn't heard from him since.Brother Guan came back from the army, maybe there will be news, but it is uncertain.Another day, she will find an opportunity to inquire about it.

On the evening of the second day, Guan Xu arrived as scheduled.Xu Xiangyang carefully prepared a table of food and wine, thinking that Guan Xu is a strong man, drinking and eating meat are all big bowls, so the dishes are not too delicate, but they are full of weight.Although Guan Xu learned about Xu Xiangyang's past from Ding Yuehua, he didn't show any abnormality. It's not for him, an outsider, to judge what happened.So when they met, he was still cheerful and praised her cooking skills very much.

Xu Xiangyang was a little shy, but it was just something he was used to, and he really couldn't bear such praise.Zhan Zhao poured him a glass of wine and said, "Brother Guan is invited to come today. One is to thank you for your generous help that day. Zhan Zhao respects you." He drank it down.Guan Xu raised his glass and nodded to him, drank it down, and said, "Brother Zhan, you're being polite, but it's just a matter of raising your hands. After drinking this glass of wine, you can't bring it up again. You don't have to make me feel ashamed. I still talk about small things all day long." , which is what a man did?"

"What Brother Guan said is very true." Zhan Zhao also smiled heartily, he liked Guan Xu's boldness. "The other thing is for Bao'er. I heard from Xiang Yang that Brother Guan wants to adopt Bao'er."

Guan Xu nodded calmly, "I fell in love with that girl, and if I can adopt her, it will make up for my shortcomings. I wonder if Brother Zhan can explain it for me?"

"I have already reported this matter to Master Bao. Along the way, the Lord has agreed to Brother Guan's integrity."

Guan Xu was overjoyed, thanked him again and again, and toasted Zhan Zhao several times before giving up.After drinking freely, he let out a long sigh of satisfaction, and said, "For so many years, I have thought about my deceased wife and daughter, and never thought about remarrying. I thought this would be the end of my life. I never thought I would be able to adopt a daughter. Life will be full of regrets."

Xu Xiangyang said with a smile: "With Bao'er Chenghuan at his knees, Brother Guan will definitely be happy in the days to come."

Guan Xu laughed loudly, "That's it! That's it!"

The host and guest enjoyed the meal.Guan Xu couldn't wait, saying that he was temporarily staying at a relative's house, and it would be inconvenient to adopt Bao'er.He wants to take advantage of these few days to find a house quickly, and he has to find a nanny to help take care of the child.He has just arrived and is not familiar with the place of life, so he asks Zhan Zhao to help him pay attention, so that he can take care of everything as soon as possible and take Bao'er back.

He was as eager and excited as a father for the first time, which made Xu Xiangyang feel sore in his heart.If she adopted Bao'er, would she do the same?I feel that I have to prepare for this, and I have to prepare for that, and I wish I could give her all the good ones.Now these are impossible, she can only visit her more when the time comes.

When Ding Yuehua heard the news that Bao'er was adopted by Guan Xu, he couldn't believe it for a moment.Her thoughts were the same as Xu Xiangyang's. Guan Xu is a big man, how could he think of adopting Bao'er?After being surprised, she also felt that Yu Baoer was a good place to go. Being adopted by Guan Xu, it would be convenient for her to visit in the future.

Guan Xu spent seven or eight days looking for a house, moved, and even found a nanny with plenty of milk to help take care of the child.Bao'er was picked up by Guan Xu, Ding Yuehua couldn't stay in Kaifeng Mansion anymore, so he left on the same day, Xu Xiangyang didn't know if he was going back to Mohua Village or not, and he didn't dare to ask.

Sister-in-law Wang came to visit this day and brought some loquats. She laughed and said that they grew from the loquat trees in her yard, so she brought some for her to taste.Xu Xiangyang accepted it thankfully, these loquats were not big, but they were quite yellow, so he asked with a smile if they were sweet or not.Sister-in-law Wang was quite helpless, saying that there are sweet and sour, and some tasteless, it all depends on luck.

Sister-in-law Wang saw that she was making clothes for the child, and knew it was for Bao'er, she said with a smile: "You have a heart, that girl is lucky to have you take care of her like this."

Xu Xiangyang smiled, "Brother Guan is kind to me, I should make some clothes for Bao'er." Sister-in-law Wang looked at the few small clothes at her hand, they were all summer shirts, she really had something on her mind.Even if Guan Xu helped his wife with children before, it was more than ten years ago. How can a big man be so careful?

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Wang suddenly said: "In previous years, Mr. Zhan would go back to his hometown to pay respects to his parents in April. It's this time this year. I'm afraid we won't go back."

Hearing what she said, Xu Xiangyang remembered that he should also visit the graves of the original owner's parents, so he just used this as an excuse to ask the original owner where his hometown was.Thinking about it, my heart became excited, if I could go back to my mother's house after reconciliation, it would be much more secure.He lowered his head and bit off the thread in his hand, saying: "Although I don't remember the past, I should go back and visit the graves of my parents."

"Should be." Sister-in-law Wang nodded, and suddenly, her voice lowered a little, and said, "I heard from Wang Chao that there was another case earlier, Mr. Zhan is probably busy, so I wonder if I can take time to accompany you back to visit the grave."

Xu Xiangyang raised his head and paused, "Murder?"

"Theft and murder. A resident of Yunfeng Inn was killed, and the servant who accompanied him was seriously injured. According to the servant, someone sneaked into the guest room late at night to steal, accidentally awakened them, and became murderous. The master was stabbed more than ten times Dao, dead, the boy escaped by luck. Bai Yutang is also involved in this case."

Bai Yutang?Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but think of the last time we met, how could he be involved when he was trapped in the empty island?Sister-in-law Wang continued: "The Yunfeng Inn is the property of the Bai family."

Xu Xiangyang understood, it turned out to be his family's property, no wonder he was involved.

"It's also a coincidence. Miss Ding hasn't returned from home for a long time. The family members are worried and want to go to Bianjing to find someone. Bai Yutang took over this matter and came early because he wanted to inspect the family property. It's involved in this case. Now Mr. Zhan, Bai Yutang and Miss Ding are busy investigating this case."

Xu Xiangyang lowered his eyes slightly, is he busy investigating the case recently?If Mrs. Wang hadn't mentioned it, she would have no idea.Only a girl like Ding Yuehua can help, her world is only this small courtyard, and the place she can use is only a small kitchen and needlework.With her like this, how can he tell her about the outside world?It is not necessary for him to accompany the grave-sweeping, as long as she asks the location, she can go back by herself.

She covered up her emotions, and followed the topic: "Do you know what valuables were lost?"

"It is said to be a large box of gems."

gem?No wonder it is coveted.She frowned, "How do I find this?" The murderer was able to sneak into the guest room so accurately, presumably because he had been paying attention to them for a long time and found out their situation before he dared to strike.Also, a large box of precious stones seems to be quite heavy, maybe there are accomplices to support it.Since it was planned, the escape route has probably been paved. I don't know how many clues Zhan Zhao and the others can have.

Sister-in-law Wang also sighed, "Oh, every time I hear a murder case, I can't feel at ease for a moment. Those murderers, who are not ruthless, worry me! I'm afraid that something will happen to the dynasty, what will we mother and son do? That's good."

"No, brother Wang is good at kung fu, how could he be so easily injured? Sister-in-law, don't worry."

"Good skill? Can he be better than Mr. Zhan? You have also seen that Mr. Zhan has a lot of injuries. Among these people, he is the most frequently injured."

Xu Xiangyang did not deny this, Zhan Zhao was indeed injured a lot.However, "With the help of Bai Yutang and Miss Ding this time, it should be better."

"Probably, I can't say for sure, anyway, it's useless for us to worry about these things." Sister Wang waved her hand, "Hey, I don't want to say more to you, I have to go back and cook."

Seeing off Mrs. Wang, Xu Xiangyang felt his heart drop, he couldn't tell what it was like.After peeling a loquat, the sour smell filled her mouth, making her frown.It took a long time to realize that this taste is called sour.Zhan Zhao told her that he was busy these days and didn't need his food, so she seemed to have nothing to do all of a sudden.That being the case, she simply packed up Bao'er's clothes and sent them to her.

Under the careful care of Guan Xu, Bao'er became much fatter than before.Seeing Xu Xiangyang came to see her, he happily stretched out his chubby little hands to her for a hug.I teased Bao'er for a while, and waited until Guan Xu returned from the iron shop.Guan Xu was also very happy to see her come to see Bao'er. After washing his hands, he took the child from her and said with a smile, "Bao'er, do you miss Daddy?"

Bao'er giggled and tugged at his beard, Xu Xiangyang watched from the side, envious from the bottom of his heart.Guan Xu rescued Huzi from Bao'er's hand, saw a few children's clothes on the table, and said: "Bao'er's clothes are enough, you don't have to make them for her all the time, you will tire yourself."

Xu Xiangyang shook his head, "Children grow up fast, it's always good to have more clothes."

Guan Xu smiled, "Then I can only thank the girl." How could such a girl do such a thing?He couldn't see it at all, but felt that she was very virtuous.

Xu Xiangyang actually came here today for other reasons, he said: "Brother Guan, I want to ask you about someone."

"Who?" Didn't Ms. Ding say she forgot the past?Who else could she want him to inquire about?

"Yu Hua." She asked Granny Lin, and she said her son's name was Yu Hua, and he was about thirty years old.In fact, when she first heard that Guan Xu had returned from the army, her first reaction was whether he might be Mrs. Lin's son.But Guan Xu didn't mention his mother at all, so she thought it was probably not, and later she asked Mrs. Lin, and it really wasn't him.

Guan Xu frowned in thought for a while, then shook his head, "I've never heard of it. Why did you ask him?"
