Chapter 145: Adoption
After Mo Xiaohe listened, she was terrified, and she walked for more than ten days to transport the coffin, sleeping in the mountains and wilderness at night, it was hard to imagine how her husband had survived this way, she couldn't help asking, "Husband, aren't you afraid?" ā
"When I was a child, I would be afraid, but then I walked alone at night and lived in the mountains, and over time, I got used to it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
It is often foggy in the mountains, it is difficult to discern the direction, it is common to get lost, find a thick tree, climb it, survive the night, and the next morning, when the sun comes out and breaks through the clouds, everything will be fine.
In the mountains, there are always some noises at night, and the timid people, listening to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, think that there are spirits, which makes them like frightened birds, and they are uncertain, which is also the reason why they can get a pure life by living in the mountains.
Gu Zheng's tone was indifferent, but Mo Xiaohe didn't sound it, her husband had been lonely for too long, and in the bottom of his heart, he longed for family affection and wanted someone to accompany him.
Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, the caravan had already gotten up, Feng was preparing breakfast, white rice porridge, steamed steamed buns, fried shredded potatoes, a cold salad of wild vegetables, and added a dish of fried tofu to Mo Xiaohe to satisfy his hunger.
Fried tofu is a major specialty dish in Luzhou, also known as Shih Tzu tofu, the production process is not complicated, the whole piece of tofu is crushed, add diced meat, bamboo shoots, fungus diced and other fresh materials, mixed in one place, stir-fried in oil, pour into the broth, wait for the water to boil, then pour in a small half bowl of Cifen juice, and then keep stirring, after boiling, put it into a large bowl, it can be served.
Feng's cooking, very particular, added a green vegetable leaf on it, looking at the beautiful style, Mo Xiaohe blew the hot air, and couldn't wait.
Although it is not complicated to make, it cannot be used as an ration for more than a dozen people, there is only one piece of tofu, Feng gritted his teeth, and added some more to the woman and the two little babies, their bodies are too weak, tofu is a good thing to nourish, not cheaper than meat, and ordinary people are reluctant to eat it.
After breakfast, everyone had to go on the road again, and the arrangement of the woman once again made Feng's trouble, and she proposed that people stay for the night temporarily, and that good people should be properly arranged in the end.
"Big sister, what are your plans for the future, or rather, what skills do you have to make ends meet?"
Feng got into the carriage and sighed again and again, what a sin, the baby is still so young, still ignorant age, just vaguely left the village by himself, and there was no home.
The two little ones were insecure, and they kept holding the woman's arm, curled up in the corner, looking very pitiful.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to feed them."
The woman gritted her teeth, her body knew by herself, she was bleeding heavily during childbirth, she didn't do a good job of confinement, she hurt the roots, even if she was carefully recuperated, she couldn't do heavy work, her children were growing up, homeless, and it was too difficult for the mother and son to survive.
A well-wisher can give a silver tael and make do with life, silver money is a bottomless pit, she is afraid of her own temperament, she can't stand the money, if you are in an unfamiliar place, there are bad people with bad intentions What to do?
"Alas, our caravans are all coming from Luzhou, if you don't dislike it, you can go there and settle down, but this way, I'm afraid it's a little far."
The woman's foot was at least a month's journey, and if they wanted to help, they had to hire a chariot at the carriage shop. There are also many outsiders in Jiangjia Village, and the village chief is a tolerant person, so everyone will help them when the time comes, at least let the woman live.
After Feng Shi and a few people in the team spoke, everyone did not object, take one step at a time, and never watch the mother and son go to death. Going to Luzhou and they were going in the opposite direction, so everyone discussed, find someone to send the mother and son to the carriage and horse shop, and the money for renting the carriage was enough for everyone to make up.
"Eldest sister, I actually have an idea."
The woman sighed and looked at a pair of children, her character was too cowardly, she just couldn't stand up, she hated herself like this, she had no choice but to change, but found that it didn't have a big effect, how many years could she live? If you close your eyes one day, the two babies are not adults, but they will have to suffer a lot.
"You say, if we can help, we will help."
Feng Shi asked Mo Xiaohe's opinion, she knew that she could not delay the caravan's journey, to make a long story short, I hope that the woman will make a decision as soon as possible, if she still wants to go back to the village, just drop by, and send the person back.
"No, can't go back!"
The woman's eyes were panicked, she hugged the two little ones tightly, shed tears, she left, the house, the ground, are left to the brother and sister-in-law, so that her mother can live a good life for a few days, she goes back, it doesn't matter how she is, the two babies can't be saved, they will definitely be sent to the big family to be a maid boy who serves people!
"Eldest sister, then I'll be cheeky and straightforward."
The woman wept for a moment, took a sip of water, and lovingly touched the heads of a pair of children, her eyes becoming more and more determined.
"I chatted last night, and I heard that you and Fifth Brother Jiang have never had a baby, so ......"
The woman suddenly grabbed Feng's hand, stopped talking, and finally spoke with difficulty, "I have no husband, I have never thought of remarrying, I just want to find a clean place, if I go to the nunnery, I can't take two babies with me." ā
She had already made a decision, that is, she was reluctant to give up her children, and wanted to find kind-hearted people for her children to adopt, but the people in the village did not lack babies at home, and suddenly there were two more mouths, and life was even tighter.
The daughter is okay, it doesn't cost much money to marry, and her son will marry his own son in the future, her husband is a foreigner, she is selfish, and she still hopes to leave incense.
Last night, she didn't sleep all night, and carefully observed the character of the caravan people, and her conduct was indeed good. She is a big trouble, the other party is willing to take back their mother and son for the night, and they are entertained with delicious food and drink, the tofu in the morning, there are no people in the caravan, it must be a small stove specially opened by the Feng family.
Although she is weak, she will not be wrong when she looks at people, the other party does not want anything, she is willing to help them, she must be a kind-hearted person, looking at Feng's age, she can't have children anymore, if she can adopt two babies and be good to them wholeheartedly, then she has no other concerns.
"It's a shame to say that."
After the woman finished speaking, she looked hopeful, if there was no way out, no relatives to go to, she would not put her hope on strangers, heard that Feng wanted to take a look at the charity hall, she took it to heart, pondered all night, and thought that this matter was feasible.
"Big sister, if you want to open everything, you just can't get over this hurdle in front of you, take your time, everything will be fine."
Feng Shi was moved by this proposal, she and Jiang Lao Wu have also accumulated some family wealth for many years, although it is not a lot, raising two babies should be enough, there is land at home, Jiang Lao Wu can go out to work, she also has the skill of cooking, in short, it is not a small loss, but the baby's mother is still there, so ruthlessly left them, Feng feels that this is not good, in the end, it is always not as good as his own heart.
"Eldest sister, I know all your concerns, and I can't bear them."
The woman sighed, no matter how reluctant she was, it was nothing more than two more years with the children, and when they became sensible, they would be even more sad, so it was better to find a suitable family now.
After hearing this, Feng couldn't make up his mind, so he ran to Mo Xiaohe to discuss.
If it is sincere, but the long-cherished wish of their husband and wife, but it is very inconvenient to carry two little babies on the road, and it will drag the caravan back, and she can't explain to Gu Zheng and his wife.
"I see."
Mo Xiaohe looked at the woman's face, and knew that she had a chronic illness, and sighed at the greatness of maternal love.
"Xiaohe, what do you think of this? It is natural to become good, she wants to go to the nunnery to cultivate, and she always has to send people, otherwise our husband and wife will not feel at ease. ā
Feng's mood is anxious, in the charity hall, the able-bodied babies are generally taken away, they discuss with the husband and wife, adopt a slightly disabled person, as long as they can take care of themselves in the future, whether they marry or marry a wife, the two of them do their best, as their own.
"Let's go to the city in front, we want to rest for a day, the caravan will make supplies on the road, you can inquire if there is a nunnery around, send people over, and you can rest assured when the time comes."
Mo Xiaohe pondered for a moment, and finally gave advice, the Mingcheng in front of him is a flower city, rich in honey, and there are many vegetables and fruits that other cities do not have, and when Gu Zheng came, he took a fork in the road, and Mingcheng was wrong.
Since he knew that he was going to adopt two little babies, Feng Shi was more attentive, and he would boil more eggs in the morning, and give them to the two small ones, there were delicious ones, and he was reluctant to give them all, the woman looked at it, wiped her tears silently, but was very pleased.
Two days later, everything came to an end, maybe the baby was still young and didn't understand what the meaning of the difference was, followed Feng's, and began to cry for a few days, and was attracted by the novelty gadgets, and Le Zizi followed on the road.
Before leaving, Mo Xiaohe added ten taels of silver to the nunnery, and the Feng family also added silver, please ask the owner of the nunnery, if there is any bad news, ask someone to send a letter, and their husband and wife will definitely bring the baby to send the woman on the last journey.
"Sister Xiaohe, are you painting?"
Feng Shi washed the two babies cleanly, much better than the yellow and thin appearance at the beginning, the dog baby is the elder brother, only four and a half years old, Chunni is three years old, sitting in the carriage honestly, the two little babies are not too noisy, looking at people's eyes a little evasive, very shy.
"yes, I'm drawing puppies."
There are two more little babies on the road, Mo Xiaohe has found new fun, she has the impression that the little baby just loves to cry and annoy people, this pair of brothers and sisters completely subverts her cognition.
"Dog baby, Chunni, are you hungry?"
Mo Xiaohe washed his hands and took out two green apples from the small basket, which are the varieties here, which look green but are very sweet. She patiently peeled the skin and cut it into small pieces for the siblings to share with each other.
In the future, she will also have a baby, and she hopes that she will give birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus at one time, and she will suffer one less sin. On the carriage, when she had nothing to do, she drew the pattern of the little baby's clothes, and asked the ingenious Feng to make a set of brother and sister clothes for the two little ones, and wear them out to attract people's attention.
