Xiao Yuan was busy contacting all parties, and An Ning and Xiao Fu at home were stepping up to make quilts.

On the side of the East Cross Courtyard, Xiao Hui carefully covered the cloth towel on his head and said to Xiao Yi who was sitting on the side, "Sister, you pinch me." ”

"What are you doing with pinching?"

Xiao Yi blinked and looked at Xiao Hui inexplicably.

Xiao Hui smiled: "I just want to see if we are dreaming." ”

"Why is it a dream?" Xiao Yun touched the thick mattress under his hand, and then looked at the bright bluestone under his feet: "We can't have such a dream, we can't imagine that we can live such a life." ”

Yes, Xiao Hui couldn't help but think that she couldn't dream of such a good day.

When she came, she knew that there was a very rich family in Jingtian Village who wanted to accept a few righteous sons and daughters.

She had earlier lived in a ruined temple where there were many beggars, and there was an old beggar who took her in for a while.

The old beggar was old, very experienced in doing things, and had a wide range of knowledge, and Xiao Hui followed him to ask for a little more food at that time.

The old beggar and Xiao Hui have said a lot of things.

It has also been said that some large families will accept righteous sons and daughters, saying that they are righteous sons and righteous daughters, but in fact, they are the tools for collecting dead soldiers and future marriages.

The adopted sons will teach some things and help the master do some unsightly things, while the righteous daughters will be well cultivated and given to those powerful people as playthings in the future, either to please the big guys, or to let them help to hear the news in the backyard.

When Xiao Hui came, she also thought that she might be treated as an object when she came.

But she has no choice, she really can't live, if she doesn't come, I'm afraid that she will die in the broken temple this winter.

When she was ready, she thought about what to do, as long as she was given a mouthful of food to eat and allowed her to live, she would be obedient.

But after she came, she realized that she might have thought badly.

The Xiao family shouldn't let them be spies or dead soldiers, they should just let them do some work, and the father and mother she recognized are really good to them, of course, they are not as good as their own children, but they are also treated as righteous sons and daughters.

Xiao Hui knew that if he really cultivated them as things, he would never allow them to be called fathers and mothers.

She once heard the old beggar say that the righteous daughter who is recognized by the big family as a playmaker will not see the housewife at all, and will be taken to a place by the steward to cultivate, even if the master is called the old lady, and it is not allowed to be called father.

Because the main family will feel that it is a humiliation to be called daddy and mother by people like them, people like them are too lowly to be called daddy and mother.

However, since she came to the Xiao family, her father and mother have always taken them, let them take a bath, and let them wear the clothes of the young master and young lady in the family, and let them call them father, which shows that she treats them sincerely.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hui couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Yun were also laughing.

Xiao Yun touched the clothes she was wearing: "This dress is so warm, it's so comfortable to wear, I've lived for so many years, and I've never worn such good clothes." ”

Xiao Yi also smiled: "I haven't eaten such a good meal, you say, will we eat such a delicious meal every day in the future?"

"Definitely. ”

Xiao Hui clenched her fists, she was thinking, she must work hard in the future, and she must stay in the Xiao family.

In the west courtyard, several boys were also talking in whispers.

The longest Xiao Song looked around with a reassuring smile on the corner of his mouth.

He had been living in a dilapidated house in the mountains since the death of all his family, and he was the only one who often fetched wild vegetables to eat, and rarely caught hares and pheasants, and he lived like a wild man.

During the day, it doesn't matter, but at night, Xiao Song is really scared.

He was alone in the mountains, and he didn't dare to sleep when he lay down, for fear that he would never wake up when he fell asleep.

Xiao Song really wants to have relatives, and he eagerly longs for a warm home in his heart, so that he can sleep steadily, which is why when he knew that someone was going to adopt a child, he quickly came down from the mountain to find Li Zheng and knelt down to beg Li Zheng to bring him.

The rest of the children are also used to living a hard life, and when they arrived at the Xiao family, it was really happy from the bottom of their hearts.

An Ning worked very fast, made a few quilts, and asked Xiao Yin to help Xiao Fu put on the quilt, while she called the eight children together, and then took off the cloth towels on their heads, and opened their hair to see if the lice on their heads were dead.

The medicine prepared by Anning is naturally good, and after such a while, all the lice on the children's heads have been eliminated.

An Ning let them boil water and wash their hair.

In order for them to wash their hair, An Ning also took out her own shampoo for the children.

After waiting for the hair to be washed one by one, An Ning put a carbon basin in the house and asked the children to sit around the carbon basin and dry their hair.

And An Ning took the quilt and made the beds for a few children.

She smiled and said: "I made the bed for you today, and you will have to come by yourself in the future, and get up every day in the future, Brother Song will take your brother to sweep the courtyard, go out to chop wood, and follow your father to farm, Sister Hui will take your sister to learn to cook with me, do needlework, and when the work is done, your father will teach you to read and write, and will teach you martial arts." ”

"Huh?"

The eight children all opened their mouths in shock, and they all looked at An Ning in a daze.

Let them learn to work, as they should be.

Not to mention that they were adopted, even if it is the biological father and mother, it is impossible not to let them work, boys should carry water and firewood to farm, girls should clean up the housework and cook or something, and everyone is like this.

What they didn't expect was that they would be able to learn to write and martial arts.

An Ning smiled and touched the heads of several children: "Your father and I know a lot, as long as you want to learn and can learn, we can teach you all the skills of this body." ”

The children all laughed when they heard this.

Who doesn't want to learn if they can learn skills?

Just rushing to this, they have to be diligent and finish their work early in the future, so that they can learn things earlier.

An Ning took the girls of the family to cook, and the boys in the family went out to find work.

When Xiao Yuan came back, dinner was ready, two large round tables were set up in the restaurant, Xiao Yuan took the children to sit at a table, An Ning took the girls to sit at a table, and the family began to eat lively.

Xiao Yin only took a serious look at the three sisters she had just adopted from her family at this time, she saw that the three girls were as thin as bones, and her heart was also sour, and her heart softened.

These three girls must be having a hard time, they have no father or mother, they don't have any relatives, they are young, they don't know how much suffering they have endured, what does she have to do with a few girls who are so hard.

She has a father and a mother and brothers and sisters in her life, except for the way to Nanyi, she has not suffered any grievances, she is already very lucky compared to these three sisters.

Thinking so, Xiao Yin smiled sweetly at Xiao Hui: "Sister eats, let's talk together after dinner." ”

Xiao Ying also took special care of the five righteous brothers and sisters, which made the children feel more down-to-earth.

After eating, the children packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

An Ning discussed with Xiao Yuan: "When you go to the county seat tomorrow to buy someone, you will buy a carving knife by the way." ”

Xiao Yuan nodded: "Okay." ”

When the house was cleaned up and it was dark, An Ning sent the children back to bed.
