What came in was a thin man with sharp eyes and a serious expression.

He looked to be in his sixties, with black hair, and was wearing black clothes, black pants and black shoes.

"Ah Cai!"

Gu Zhengchuan was the first to call out the person's name.

The juniors all shouted: "Uncle Cai."

It was very strange that when Ah Cai appeared, everyone in the room became silent and their eyes were all focused on him.

Ah Cai looked calm, but he could feel a strong aura from him.

Even if he doesn't say a word, just standing there can make people feel depressed and breathless.

Li Yuanlang looked familiar to the visitor, and suddenly remembered that it was this person who opened the door when he first came to Gu's house.

But from then on, this person never appeared in Li Yuanlang's sight again, as if he disappeared out of thin air.

"Young master, second young master and eldest young lady, you don't have to argue. You can all go tomorrow and I will be the vigil for the master."

After saying a short sentence, Ah Cai turned around and left without saying hello, and quickly disappeared.

Li Yuanlang secretly asked Shui Tingyue, "Who is Uncle Cai?"

Shui Tingyue told him in a low voice: "This is the child that my grandpa helped and has been raising by my side. Grandpa arranged for Uncle Cai to do many secret things, and I trust him very much."

When Gu Zhengchuan saw that Uncle Cai had said this, he glanced at Li Yuanlang angrily and left the mourning hall with his hands behind his back. His two sons also hurriedly followed.

After the matter was resolved, Gu Zhenggang shook his head helplessly and called his daughter to leave with him.

"Dad, please send my mother back to rest. Tingyue and I are here to guard her."

"Yeah." Shui Qingzhang pulled Gu Hongyan with a bad look on his face, and the couple also left.

In the huge mourning hall, only Li Yuanlang and Shui Tingyue were left.

There had been a lot of people just now, but now it was quiet, so Li Yuanlang asked about Ah Cai's details.

Ah Cai was an orphan since he was a child. Back then, when he was only in his teens, he lived in the city where Mr. Gu worked.

One day he passed out from hunger, and Mr. Gu happened to pass by in his car.

Seeing how pitiful he was in ragged clothes, the old man felt pity for him and sent him to the hospital to revive him. He also gave him some money and sent him to an orphanage to settle down.

Fast forward more than a year, the old man was treated unfairly and was sent to work in the countryside.

The family members were implicated and were evicted from the big house where they lived. Shui Tingyue's grandmother was also sent to work in a street factory. Her wages were stopped and she was only paid living expenses.

At that time, the eldest Gu Zhengchuan in the family was only five years old, and the youngest Gu Hongyan was still in his infancy.

The family relied on Shui Tingyue's grandma's meager salary, and had to mail living expenses to Mr. Gu from time to time. They lived in poverty and often didn't have enough to eat.

Until one morning, my grandma found a dozen eggs and several kilograms of millet at the door of her house.

There was a note on it with crooked fonts and pinyin instead.

It means that these things come from the right way and are specially given to them to eat.

It's not much, but it solves an urgent need.

At least the young Gu Hongyan wouldn't cry all day long because she didn't have enough to eat.

After that, some rice noodles or eggs were delivered to his doorstep every now and then.

We went there once or twice, not to mention that in an era when supplies were very scarce, there were always people delivering things to the door, and grandma felt more and more something was wrong.

So she kept a careful eye on it, often getting up early and hiding in front of her house, waiting in a pit.

Finally, one rainy morning, I saw a thin figure, wrapped in clothes and tiptoeing to the door of his house.

I opened my clothes and took out a can of malted milk.

This thing is not something you can buy casually. It requires candy coupons and is quite expensive.

Sometimes your candy coupons and money are ready, but the store may not have them yet.

Unless there is a back door through a trust relationship, and someone from the inside will leave it in advance, then you can just buy it.

Grandma was so moved at the time that she did not arrest the teenage boy.

Instead, I followed him and saw him braving the rain, soaking himself to death, and hiding under the bridge to warm himself.

She slowly walked over and saw that the child was skinny and skinny. There was only a shabby blanket spread on the ground beside him, and a potato that was burnt black in the fire.

Immediately, her eyes became moist.

& nbsp; I asked the child emotionally, so he knew he was an orphan, and there was no surname. Everyone called him.

He is the child saved by Mr. Gu.

Due to the shortage of food, Ah Cai ran out secretly because he couldn't eat enough in the orphanage.

I started out picking up trash on the street, but later I heard that I could make more money by carrying sacks at the dock.

As a child, he reluctantly won the agreement and joined the army carrying sacks.

He can endure hardships and works hard, and the money he earns every day is not much less than that of adults.

Ah Cai has always regarded Mr. Gu as his savior. He found out that Mr. Gu lives in the countryside, but his family of four still lives in the city.

So, Ah Cai used the money he had saved to buy some in-demand food at high prices on the black market and secretly delivered it to the old man's door, in order to repay the old man's kindness.

However, since he was buying things at high prices, that little money could not last long. Even though Ah Cai worked a lot every day, he could not afford such a subsidy, and soon he could not make ends meet.

He simply tightened his belt and saved it from his mouth.

I originally ate three meals a day instead of two, and I actually ate cheap things, such as potatoes with sprouts and rotten vegetable leaves.

Grandma was so moved that she burst into tears. She hugged Ah Cai into her arms and led him into the house.

Anyway, she has three children, so this one is not enough.

Ah Cai was very sensible and firmly refused to go to school. Instead, he still went to the dock to carry sacks and gave all the money he earned to his grandmother.

With the income of two people, the family's life is no longer so tight, and the three brothers and sisters of the Gu family have been raised to be fat and bulging.

After Mr. Gu resumed work, Ah Cai stayed at their home and helped with some affairs.

Originally, Mr. Gu wanted to accept Ah Cai as his godson and give him the surname Gu.

However, Ah Cai refused to agree and always called Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu "master". The son of the Gu family was called the young master, and the daughter was called the eldest lady.

The appearance of Ah Cai shocked the Gu family present. Even Gu Zhengchuan refused to refute his words.

It was because back then, it could be said that Ah Cai had provided for them, and the three brothers and sisters felt guilty.

A turmoil was calmed down by Ah Cai's appearance, but Li Yuanlang could feel in his heart that this was just the beginning, and something might happen in the future.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, the family got on the dispatched minibus and drove straight to the cemetery in the suburbs with the police car driving the way.

This is the highest-level cemetery, and only those with sufficient rank or outstanding contributions are eligible to be buried here.

Everyone went to the lounge to rest first, and the chief of staff once again announced the relevant disciplines and requirements to everyone.

Before nine o'clock, families entered the auditorium one after another.

The children and grandchildren were arranged in order of size. Li Yuanlang stood next to Shui Tingyue, the last one in the entire team.

The auditorium was solemn and solemn, with low mourning and music.

A banner with white characters on a black background "deeply mourns Comrade Gu Zhongyuan" hangs above the main hall. Below the banner is the portrait of the old man.

The old man's body lay among the flowers and cypresses, covered with a bright red flag.

At this time, the relevant leaders have not yet arrived. The director of the general office and other relevant personnel inspected the entire ceremony and emphasized discipline again.

There are strict rules on what to say and how to act when meeting the leader. If anyone violates it at this time, the consequences will be quite serious.

It can be seen that even people like Gu Zhengchuan, Gu Zhenggang and Shui Qingzhang have solemn expressions at this time, straightening their backs and looking ahead.

Not to mention Gu Chuang, Gu Han and Gu Liuyan.

Gu Chuang kept licking his lips, but Gu Han couldn't do much better. He swallowed hard, and his Adam's apple moved obviously.

Gu Liuyan couldn't help but flip her hair around her ears to relieve her tension.

Shui Tingyue secretly grabbed Li Yuanlang's hand and felt that her palms were full of sweat.

After all, those characters who have only been seen on TV are lucky enough to face each other in real life, but not everyone has this opportunity.

Li Yuanlang was equally nervous, but fortunately no one could see anything strange in his facial expression.

The chief of staff was whispering to Gu Zhengchuan when someone came over to whisper a few words.

He immediately walked over and waved to everyone, "Everything is ready, the leaders will be here soon."
