Chapter 470: Le'an Hall
The old lady was a kind-hearted person, and when she saw that the child's face was blue from the cold, she hurriedly asked him to carry him to the hall to roast the fire, and fed the child Rezi, so that she could pick up a life.
At this time, the child cried twice, and Cao Shi hurriedly spoke, instructing the subordinates on the side: "Quick, go to the kitchen and bring some rice cereal, it's really pitiful, and I don't know how long I've been hungry." β
The subordinates hurriedly responded, but they happened to meet Xu Qingyan at the entrance of the hall.
"County Lord." The subordinates hurriedly squatted down and saluted.
Xu Qingyan handed the bowl in her hand to Yahuan: "You don't need to serve rice paste, you take it to the kitchen to get warm water and carefully melt the things in the bowl, remember that it is warm water, don't use freshly boiled hot water, after it is melted, send it quickly." β
"Yes, the slave has written it down." The girl gave a salute and hurriedly took the bowl and left.
"Why did you wake up so early? Why don't you get more sleep when it's cold? Cao walked over lovingly and touched her hand.
"I went to bed early last night, and I was about to wake up, but when I heard you talking in the room, I got up too, and this is the child who was discarded."
"Hey, it's not, it's really a sin, and I don't know how that parent is so ruthless." Cao Shi was heartbroken: "By the way, what did you just give the girl?" β
"Milk powder, last year when the cows gave birth on the farm, I collected some milk, dried it and made it into powder, and when I drank it, I only needed to melt it with water, which was fast and convenient."
"Drink! Thou shalt give the milk to this child, shall man drink the milk? Hu was a little worried.
"Mother, you can rest assured, milk can not only be eaten, but also the nutritional value is very high, although the rice cereal is good, but the child is too small, the gastrointestinal function is not fully developed, eating rice cereal may be difficult to digest, and it is easy to swell, but the milk is light and easy to absorb, very suitable for newborn children."
Hearing her say this, Hu Shi put his mind at ease: "That's okay, if it's really as you said, then this milk powder is quite convenient." β
Xu Qingyan nodded: "By the way, whose family is this child, there doesn't seem to be a New Year's delivery in our village!" β
"No, the Dazhu family is going to be in the summer, even the Chunxi family has to wait for the beginning of spring, this child is only afraid that it was sent from another village." Wu said.
"Boy, girl?" Xu Qingyan asked.
"Of course it's a female baby, there are few male babies in this world, but girls, I don't know how many people will die in a year." Wu sighed: "Hey, the world is difficult, and it is not easy for a girl."
Hearing her mention this, Xu Qingyan suddenly remembered the infantile drowning incidents on the way back to Beijing, her face sank, she had been back for so long, she almost forgot about it.
The construction of Le'an Hall cannot be delayed, otherwise in this cold winter, I don't know how many babies will die.
"Immortals." She shouted outward.
Lingxian immediately came in from outside: "Miss." β
"Inform the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city that from today onwards, it will officially change its name to Le'an Hall, specifically accept orphans and abandoned children, and let the people in the village go to the surrounding villages if they have nothing to do, and publicize the fact that Le'an Hall accepts orphans and abandoned children. Organize some more manpower to notify us of the surrounding villages in place, and save as many as we can. β
"Yes, miss" Lingxian heard this, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.
The Cao family, the Wu family and the Hu family listened to it on the sidelines, and their hearts were shaken, why didn't they think of this method!
Xu Qingyan turned around and saw that they were all staring at her in place, and couldn't help but beat a little drum in her heart, and said, "What's the matter, grandma?" β
Cao Shi smiled: "This is enlightened by the immortals, but it is different, not only is it compassionate, but also smart, unlike the old woman and your mother, thinking about those poor children, except for sighing or sighing, I can't think of how to really help them." β
"Yes, Ayan is really a bodhisattva and capable, and I can't pick out one of these four miles and eight villages." Wu boasted.
When Hu Shi heard this, he was honored, and said with a red face: "That's it, it's just that my sister-in-law said something wrong, my girl can't be picked out from four miles and eight villages, but I can't find a few in the world." β
Xu Qingyan was embarrassed by what she said, and said with a red face: "Mother, you are called Wang Po selling melons, and you are boasting about yourself." β
"What's wrong with boasting, it's not boasting." Hu smiled even more proudly.
Xu Qingyan really couldn't resist her mother's boasting**, and hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, this child doesn't have a name yet, or let's give her a name." β
"Okay, okay, what's the name?" Hu Shi frowned, and suddenly looked at Bai Xue outside the courtyard, and his eyes lit up: "Or call it Xiaoxue." β
Wu echoed continuously: "This name is good, born in winter, it is called Xiaoxue and easy to remember." β
Cao Shi also nodded in agreement, and when he saw that Xu Qingyan didn't say anything, he asked, "Ah Yan, what do you say?" β
Xu Qingyan nodded hurriedly: "Okay, it's very good."
Although this name may have fallen into clichΓ© in her previous life, in this era when flowers and plants are everywhere, it is also unique, and it is better than the 'junior high school' she just thought.
The mothers talked again, and it was time for breakfast, and as soon as the people set up breakfast, the two brothers Xu Guanghua and Xu Guangqi came.
Seeing the child, he couldn't help but sigh after asking the reason, and also expressed support for Xu Qingyan's establishment of Le'an Hall to take in orphans and abandoned children.
In fact, the Xu family has a very good heart, and they helped a lot of people when they were poor in the past, not to mention that they don't have to worry about eating and drinking now.
After breakfast, Xu Qingyan went to the garden, and saw that Lingxian and Zelan had already gathered people, and at this time they were distributing gongs and drums and instructing everyone to pay attention.
"Okay, everything is clear, now the two of them are in a group, and one group is responsible for one village, let's go."
Everyone responded, and was about to go out, when they saw Xu Qingyan coming over and saying, "The snow on the road has not melted, pay attention to safety." β
"Yes," the subordinates bowed and retreated one after another.
........
In Luting Village, ten miles away from Beishan Village, in a low thatched house, a pregnant woman with a headscarf is holding her baby and crying.
In the courtyard outside, a thin old woman, who was hanging with a pair of triangular eyes, angrily shouted at her bitter-looking son who was standing under the eaves: "I told you not to marry this broom star, enter the door for five years, and give birth to two girls, not to mention, now this is even more restrained, you quickly take her and throw her away." β
"Mother, if no one picks it up if this kind of weather is thrown outside, it will die, or else, later, in a few months, I will find a family to send it when the weather is warm."
"No, this girl can't stay at home for a day, you quickly throw it out for me, otherwise, I will just throw it in the urine bucket and drown."
"Mother...."
"Don't call me mother, if you don't throw that broom star, I'll die here today, and it's better than being killed by her in the future." The old woman cried and slammed into the doorpost.
The man was startled, and hurriedly grabbed her: "Throw, I'll throw, mother, don't be like this, if something happens to you, how will your son behave." β
Hearing this, the woman in the room, holding the child in the baggage, cried even more fiercely, and the little girl standing on the side, her little face was full of fear, and her eyes were tearful and said, "Mother, is grandma going to throw away her sister?" Will you throw me away? β
Outside the house, seeing that the man was submissive, the old woman wiped a handful of tears and persuaded: "Mother, this is not for your good, the master said, this girl is a piece of Keren, stay at home to Ke Ke father and mother Ke brother, with her, your daughter-in-law don't want to have a male baby, our family can be your only seedling, we can't cut off the incense for this, and we can't afford to raise so many children." β
