Chapter 964: Honor in Troubled Times 32
Xiao Yin arrived at Xiao Fu's house.
Xiao Fu was taking the cotton and fabric given by An Ning to make a quilt.
Xiao Yin knew at a glance that it was made for the adopted children.
For Xiao Yuan and An Ning to adopt a child, Xiao Yin is unwilling.
She is now very dependent on her parents, and she is unwilling to let Xiao Yuan have extra children to share her love for her.
There is no way for the biological brother and sister, but the adopted Xiao Yin doesn't like it.
She sat on the bed, her calves swaying uncontrollably, and her little face wrinkled: "Sister, I don't like those children." ”
Xiao Yin has modern thoughts, and has always thought that adopted children are the same as biological children, at least the same treatment, and she thinks that Xiao Yuan already has five biological children, why should she adopt so many children.
Xiao Fu is different, she is completely ancient.
She looked at Xiao Yin with a smile: "If you don't like it, don't pay attention to it, and if you meet someone you like another day, let your mother bring it back and raise it, and be a companion for you." ”
"I have a sister, why should I want another sister. ”
Xiao Yin was still unhappy: "Anyway, I don't want my father and mother to adopt those people." ”
Xiao Fu stopped what she was doing and looked at Xiao Yin: "Yin'er, my father and mother have no choice but to do it, in such a situation as our family, it is impossible to buy a lot of servants to work, do you want your father and mother to work all the time?" Mother has to clean the house every day and laundry and cook too hard, my father wants to open a private school, and it is impossible to have too much time to take care of the work in the fields, my brother and brother are young, and they have never done coolies, our family's work has to be done, and, Nanyi This place is very chaotic, if there is a pirate or something, our family must also be able to protect themselves, my father and mother adopted these children for this, a few girls do laundry and cooking at home, help with housework, boys can go to the field to farm, and they can be used as private soldiers for training. ”
"Huh?"
Xiao Yin opened her mouth for a long time before she came to her senses: "Is that so?"
Xiao Fu knocked on Xiao Yin's head: "What is it if this is not the case? Do you really think that your father and mother will raise them as their own children? But my father and mother are not ruthless, since they have been adopted, they will also be raised well, they will not embarrass them, they will be fed and clothed, and they will be taught skills, but they will not cross us." ”
Xiao Yin was relieved when she heard this.
"If that's the case, I'm barely okay with that. ”
Xiao Fu smiled, lowered her head and continued to work.
Xiao Yin saw Xiao Fu doing needlework, so she leaned over: "Sister, I'll help you do it." ”
Xiao Fu hurriedly said: "Don't you, your former mother taught you to do needlework, what kind of fingers did you tie, yes, you can't do this, let's play while playing." ”
Xiao Yin really can't do needlework.
If you want her to read and write, you can learn to cook a few simple meals, but she can't do needlework.
She smiled, she didn't have to learn to do it, anyway, her parents and brothers and sisters at home spoiled her, and it was nothing if she didn't know how to do it.
An Ning waited for the children to eat, so she called them to the front and cut their hair with scissors.
These children are all orphans, living in broken temples or barren mountains and mountains, or begging in the town, all of them are dark, thin, and dirty, they all have lice on their bodies, and An Ning cut their hair to make it easier to get rid of lice.
Instead of shaving all the children's hair, she cut it short, and for both boys and girls, her hair was short, and she put some water on their heads, wet their hair, and smeared it with her own anti-lice medicine, and wrapped it in a clothcloth.
An Ning wrapped them one by one, and said with a smile: "If you feel itchy on your head for a while, don't open the cloth towel, bear with it, and wash your hair when the lice die, so that you can get rid of the lice at one time, and take a bath often in the future, and your body will be clean." ”
When she said this, the children all nodded.
An Ning wrapped their heads and took a few girls to the East Cross Courtyard.
There were eight children adopted this time, five boys and three girls, and An Ning let the three girls live in a room.
The room had been cleaned up before, and there was a large bed with a futon on it, a cabinet next to the bed, and a few clothes in it, in addition to a washstand, and two desks side by side, and a dressing table.
The ground in the house is the bluestone polished and paved ground that Xiao Yuan specially found, and the cleaning is very clean, standing in the house, I feel that the land is clean without a trace of dust, and even the figure can be illuminated.
Look at the sheets on the bed are light gray, there is no pattern, and the three quilts are also gray, but they look particularly elegant.
The desk is very large, although it is two, but it is completely enough for three people, and the cabinet is also very large, and now there are few clothes, but they are just photographed and placed there, but such a large cabinet in the room should be bought a lot of clothes in the future.
When the three girls saw this room, they all felt relieved.
They never dreamed that one day they would be adopted, they would have their parents, they would live in such a nice house, and they would eat such good meals.
Thinking of the white rice they had just eaten, as well as those fragrant meat dishes, the three children wanted to drool again.
An Ning asked them to sit down, and said with a smile: "I don't ask if you have a name, since you have entered our house, you will all follow your father's surname Xiao in the future, you call me a mother, then I, the mother, will give you a name." ”
Several girls hurriedly stood up: "Our natural surname is Xiao, mother, you can quickly name us." ”
They felt that the surname Xiao was a member of the family, and taking the name was the real integration into the new family.
An Ning looked at the three children.
They often can't eat enough, plus the wind and rain, the growth is not very good, one by one is not good, they look thin and small, the hair is very small, and the hair is very small, and it is yellow and forked, just like hay, but if you look carefully, the facial features of the three girls are still very good, if you take care of them well, they may not be able to raise them beautifully.
An Ning pointed to the tallest and big eyes, because she was thin, so she looked at the terrible girl with big eyes and said, "You should be the oldest, you are called Xiao Hui." ”
She pointed to the little girl again: "Your name is Xiao Yi." ”
Finally, the little girl An Ning smiled: "Your name is Xiao Yun." ”
After giving the children their names, An Ning told them to sit first, and then wash their hair after a while before lying down.
She watched the children sit down, and went to help Xiao Fu make quilts.
An Ning named the girls, and Xiao Yuan also named the boys.
The eldest of the five boys was eleven years old, and the youngest was six years old, and Xiao Yuan named them in order of size, Xiao Song, Xiao Bai, Xiao Qing, Xiao Zhu, and Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yuan took his name and left, he still had a lot of things to do.
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Jin discussed that they had to buy a few subordinates at home, and in addition, they went to Li Zheng to discuss gathering the idle young men in the village for training, just in case.
The people of Jingtian Village have also seen how pirates burn and loot when they go ashore, and some of the old people still have memories, Li Zheng is old, and he has experienced such a tragic thing, and the people in the village also want to increase their strength, but it is really difficult to learn things in this world.
It is difficult to learn literature, and it is even more difficult to learn martial arts, and if you can't learn martial arts, you can't resist pirates by relying on crops.
As soon as Xiao Yuan said that he would help the village train people, Li Zheng immediately agreed.
No matter what you say, this is a good thing for the village, everyone has learned martial arts, and there will really be a bandit or something in the future, at least they have confidence in their hearts.
