Chapter 123: Choosing a Name (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
After taking Li Yan and the others home to clean up, they found that they were all neat, Xu Qingyan secretly thought that if she opened a Qinglou Chu Qi, she would make a lot of money now.
Half of the cotton cloth bought back has been made into clothes, of course, the Cao family and a few of them naturally can't do much, but there are a lot of women in the village, and the Hu family knows that these clothes are in a hurry to wear, so they called a few good friends in the village to help.
The Li family is also among them, Li Xiaohan and her mother can make clothes, and their mother made two pieces in one day.
Because of Li Xiaohan's friendship with Xu Qingyan, the two families are very close, and the furniture in the Xu family's new house is all made by Li Dashun, and the Xu family has many rooms, so they naturally need a lot of furniture.
Li Dashunguang earned fifty taels of silver for the Xu family this time.
Nowadays, although there are ready-to-wear shops to sell, but the price is much more expensive, the money to buy a ready-to-wear garment can be used to buy three pieces of fabric, not to mention that the frugal peasant family is not willing to spend this money, even the general conditions in the county are not willing to do it, everyone is to buy the fabric back to make it themselves, but also fit.
Therefore, nowadays, women in every household will plant and make clothes, and even if girls can't embroider, making clothes is a necessary skill to learn.
For Xu Qingyan's female celebrity, Hu Shi was very sad, every time she mentioned this matter to her, she changed the topic, Hu Shi was led astray by her every time she spoke, and when she thought about it again, she couldn't find anyone.
These children, wearing new clothes for the first time, didn't know where to put their happy hands and feet, for fear of staining the new clothes, and the careful movements made the Xu family's hearts sad.
Once upon a time, their children were like this, but now in just half a year, they can sponsor others, and this earth-shaking change is all brought about by Ayan.
"By the way, apart from Li Yan and Li Xiaohua, I don't know what your name is?" Xu Qingyan asked softly.
When the nine children heard this, they looked at each other a few times, and their expressions were lonely, they were all orphans without fathers and mothers, and they had no names!
"Miss, we don't have names." A goose-faced girl stood up and said that she was the oldest in this group of children, except for Li Yan.
"And how did you call you before?"
The girl blushed and said, "We all take our own nicknames, and they call me Baiya." ”
Xu Qingyan glanced at her twice, smiled slightly, and said, "It's really white." ”
After Bai Ya heard this, she was a little shy and a little happy, and the young lady praised her.
"That's it, I'll give you a name, Bai Ya, you will be called Bai Wei in the future."
After that, he said to the other three girls: "The three of you, just called Su Ye, Lilac, and Du Ruo, have both names and surnames, what do you think?" ”
The four girls said with joy on their faces: "Very good, thank you, Miss." ”
When the five boys saw that the girls were famous, they were not far behind, "Miss, what about us, we also want Miss to take a name." ”
Xu Qingyan tilted her head and said, "Okay, let me think about ......"
After pondering for a while, he said: "You are called, Lu Ying, Su Shui, Du Zhong, Chang Shan and Bai Qian." ”
"We have a name, we finally have a name, Su Shui, my name is Lu Ying, my name is Lu Ying." The black boy showed off his name to his companions with a face full of joy.
"My name is Bai Qian, and I have the same surname as Bai Wei?"
"And me, my name is Du Zhong, and I have the same surname as Du Ruo!"
"And me, and me, my name is Su Shui and Su Ye."
The children were so excited that they had their names and surnames from then on.
Xu Qingyan sweated for a moment, all of the names she took came from the herbal medicine collection given to her by Wu Tianyou, and these names were the most suitable for her after screening.
But it's good to have the same surname, they are a group of children who have been through hardships together, and the same surname should make them more united.
After taking the name, Xu Qingyan took out twelve copies of the deed of sale, filled in the names one by one, and then asked them to press their fingerprints.
Seeing this, several children did not object, but stepped forward with great joy and pressed their handprints.
In their little hearts, they feel that the person who can bring them back, give them food, clothing, and name them is the best young lady.
Li Yan is also willing to sign this deed of sale, her face will be disliked even if she begs for food, the Xu family not only took her in, but also gave her medicine to treat her face, whether it can be cured or not, she will never forget this kindness.
When people are desperate, someone pulls her, let alone the deed of sale, she feels that she wants her life now, and she is willing. As for the former home, it has nothing to do with her for a long time, so it doesn't matter if the identity of the young lady is not.
After they signed the deed of sale, Xu Qingyan told them another piece of good news,
"In the future, I will ask someone to teach you to read and write, if you have the talent to read, I will sponsor you to study and test your fame, and the deed of sale will also be returned to you, if you don't have the talent to read, you can learn some other skills to settle down."
"And the Zhuangzi you stayed in before, I will change it to Le'an Hall in the future, specifically to take in children and widows, I hope that when you grow up, you will learn to do things, and you can also help those in need when you have the ability."
After hearing this, the children's eyes were shining, and no one knew better than them that the straw that others stretched out when they were desperate was a life for them.
"Yes, we must learn our skills hard, and we will also help others in the future, like Miss." Several children said in unison, and secretly swore in their hearts.
Suddenly there are more children in the house, the room is fine, but the bed is not enough, fortunately, the weather is still hot, spread a mat on the ground, and then put a quilt can also be for a while, and when the weather is cold, the bed should also be placed,
The room in the new house is not small, even the upside-down seat is very bright, seven girls live in two rooms, five boys live in one, after they are settled, Xu Qingyan will go to Li's house.
She has to go and talk to Li Dashun about the bed, there are so many children, one bed for one person is not realistic, she plans to let Li Dashun come out of the high and low bed in her previous life.
"Ayan, I heard that your family has taken in more than a dozen children?" As soon as Xu Qingyan entered Li's house, Li Xiaohan greeted her.
"That's right, it's not that there are not enough beds, come to Uncle Li to get a few beds!"
"How could you think of taking in so many children, it's a lot of pressure to raise so many people for nothing."
"Didn't the emperor give me a thousand acres of fertile land, in fact, it is two Zhuangzi covering an area of 500 acres, these children were found in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, they are all lonely and helpless children, since they see it, how can they not care, and it is also a kind of fate to be able to find it in my Zhuangzi."
Li Xiaohan didn't say much when he heard this, Ah Yan's identity is different now, and the Xu family is not the same as before, and it is no longer the small farmer who doesn't have three meals.
Ah Yan's identity has changed, and she can still recognize her as a friend, she is very relieved.
When Li Dashun came back, Xu Qingyan said her request, Li Dashun nodded and said that he understood, although he hadn't made the high and low beds that Xu Qingyan said, it shouldn't be difficult.
Coming out of Li's house, Xu Qingyan saw the villagers passing by on the road looking at her from time to time, but they were all far away from her, Xu Qingyan didn't understand their thoughts, and she didn't want to take the initiative to get close to them.
In fact, the villagers felt that Xu Qingyan's identity was different, and they didn't dare to go up, and they heard that the Xu family bought a lot of people this time, which widened the distance between them.
