Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

The next day.

Li Haichao took Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian to He Ziqiu's maternal grandmother's house in the countryside.

Li Haichao also brought a large bag of things and two boxes of gifts.

After arriving in the countryside by bus, the group of one adult and two children still had a long way to walk to their destination.

After walking for a while, Li Jianjian was already a little tired.

"Dad, how much longer until we get there?"

Li Jianjian looked at Li Haichao and asked.

"Almost there, we can already see the village."

Li Haichao looked ahead.

Then he looked at Li Jianjian and said, "Jianjian, we're only here to see Ziqiu. We'll leave after we're done. Don't shout in front of him that you're going to take him away."

"Why can't he take it with him! We even bought him a bed!"

Li Jianjian couldn't find any other reason, so she brought up the matter of buying a bed.

We've already bought the bed, we can't let this family lose out, we have to take this person with us.

"Just listen to Li's father, and don't say this in front of Ziqiu's relatives."

Ji Yuan looked at Li Jianjian and said.

Li Jianjian pouted unhappily.

At the same time, not far ahead of the three, He Ziqiu walked down a hillside and came to the main road.

At this moment, He Ziqiu was wearing a vest, which was a little dirty. He had a basket on his back that was taller than half a person, and there was some pig feed in the back of the basket.

Ji Yuan spotted He Ziqiu and called out, "Ziqiu."

Li Jianjian and Li Haichao immediately looked in the direction Ji Yuan had shouted.

Then I saw He Ziqiu.

Li Jianjian was incredibly fast, quickly running up to He Ziqiu.

Li Jianjian looked at He Ziqiu and asked somewhat angrily, "He Ziqiu, what are you doing here!"

Li Haichao was a little slow. He jogged over and saw He Ziqiu's appearance and the basket on his back. His eyes were filled with heartache.

"Ziqiu".

Li Haichao shouted.

He Ziqiu saw Li Haichao and smiled happily: "Dad!"

"Hey……"

Li Haichao responded and squatted down, looking at He Ziqiu somewhat helplessly with tears in his eyes, not knowing what to say. Finally, he quickly reached out and took the basket that He Ziqiu was carrying off his back.

"Ziqiu, let Dad help you with that."

Li Haichao took the basket off He Ziqiu's body.

Immediately afterwards, He Ziqiu led a few people to find his maternal grandmother.

……

In the fields, He Ziqiu's maternal grandmother and second aunt were busy tending to their family's land.

"Auntie, I am Li Haichao."

Upon seeing He Ziqiu's maternal grandmother, Li Haichao immediately introduced himself.

When He Ziqiu's maternal grandmother heard the name, she immediately knew who Li Haichao was.

He simply kept his head down and continued working on the farm, looking like he didn't want to pay any attention to Li Haichao.

It wasn't that she had any issues with Li Haichao, but she knew that He Mei had borrowed 10,000 yuan from him.

Now that He Mei is gone, he's afraid Li Haichao is coming to ask her for money.

She can't come up with that money.

"Auntie, Ziqiu is still a child. Why is he carrying a basket and working?"

Li Haichao looked at He Ziqiu's maternal grandmother and asked.

"Which child in the village didn't start working in the fields from a young age?"

"He Ziqiu's maternal grandmother said in a bad tone."

"Then... then Ziqiu, how will you go to school?"

Li Haichao asked again.

"Who knows? Just read it casually. I don't have the money to support his education. I'd be lucky if he could finish elementary or middle school."

He Mei owes you money; go ask her for it yourself.

He Ziqiu's maternal grandmother continued.

Upon hearing this, Li Haichao roughly understood why He Ziqiu's grandmother's tone was unpleasant, and immediately said, "Auntie, I'm not here to ask for money, I just came to see Ziqiu."

Upon hearing this, He Ziqiu's second aunt looked at Li Haichao, and He Ziqiu's maternal grandmother also stopped what she was doing, looked at Li Haichao, and said in a much better tone: "You are a very good person."

If He Mei had met you earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

She used to insist on marrying that scoundrel Zhao Huaguang. I disagreed, but she wouldn't listen.

Okay, I got married, but we divorced in less than a year, and she was pregnant with a child.

I disagreed with her having the baby, but she insisted. I went to find Zhao Huaguang, but he refused to have it.

She was like a fool, giving birth to Ziqiu.

Now, they've abandoned Ziqiu again! I'm so angry!

I can't control her anymore.

I am a half-grown boy and a poor man.

I'm not very capable either, and my family is poor. If Ziqiu doesn't help with the work, how will we support him?

He Ziqiu's grandmother vented her frustrations, then lowered her head and continued working.

As Li Haichao listened to these words, his gaze turned to Ji Yuan, Li Jianjian, and He Ziqiu, who were playing together not far away.

“Give Ziqiu to me. I will take him to the city, provide him with an education, and support him.”

Li Haichao said in a calm tone.

This decision might be a thankless task.

But there was nothing he could do. He was a kind-hearted person, and he liked children and Ziqiu. He couldn't bear to see He Ziqiu spend his days doing farm work in the countryside and not even get to go to school.

He Ziqiu's maternal grandmother and second aunt were both stunned when they heard this.

His second aunt, who was resting to the side, immediately stood up.

They couldn't believe that there could be such a foolish person.

Li Haichao and He Ziqiu were not actually related, but Li Haichao was willing to support He Ziqiu.

Not far away, Ji Yuan had actually been keeping an eye on Li Haichao's side.

Although we couldn't hear what they were talking about.

However, judging from the reactions of Li Haichao, He Ziqiu's maternal grandmother, and his second aunt.

He knew that Li Haichao must have already agreed to take care of He Ziqiu.

……

Next, He Ziqiu's maternal grandmother and second aunt repeatedly confirmed whether Li Haichao was telling the truth or not.

Li Haichao nodded without hesitation every time.

He Ziqiu's maternal grandmother and second aunt quickly packed He Ziqiu's things.

Before sending He Ziqiu away, He Ziqiu's maternal grandmother and second aunt told him that when he went to Li Haichao's house, he must be diligent and do more chores.

If someone is willing to support you, you need to behave well and not be willful.

He Ziqiu listened to everything.

He was very happy that he could go back to Li Haichao's house again.

However, this time, he was still young, and after listening to his grandmother and second aunt, he felt a little uneasy.

He knew he needed to be more obedient and more diligent than before.

He was really afraid of being abandoned again.

……

On the way out, Li Jianjian was very happy. Although she hadn't done anything special, she was happy as long as she could bring Xiao Ge back.

"Brother, you can't run away anymore."

Li Jianjian looked at He Ziqiu and said.

He Ziqiu nodded with a smile.

Ji Yuan glanced at He Ziqiu. Although He Ziqiu didn't show it, Ji Yuan sensed that He Ziqiu had become much more reserved.

This is normal. In He Ziqiu's case, unless he's too outgoing, he'll definitely be a little reserved.

But it's okay.

He, Li Jianjian, and Li Haichao will all show him through their actions that they are now a family.

He will be Li Haichao's biological son from now on.
