Even though the night had crept in now, Bai Nuan still recognized the hazy figure under the night.

"Little Tiger?" Bai Nuan got up suddenly and rushed towards the child brought by Zhou Xiaogu in the courtyard outside.

Bai Yiyu was puzzled, and looked along the half-open window, only to see Bai Nuan holding a seven or eight-year-old boy tightly at this time.

"Xiaohu, why are you running around again?" Bai Nuan sorted out the emotions that had just been excited, his face returned to calm, and he said to Xiaohu a little blamed.

Xiaohu held a handful of wild vegetables tightly in his right hand, looked at Bai Nuan with a happy face and said: "I was picking wild vegetables on the mountain in the afternoon, and I just picked a handful when I saw my sister sitting in a carriage passing by Guping Road. ”

"So I jumped down the hill and chased after the carriage all the way." Xiaohu said as he showed Bai Nuan the handful of wild vegetables.

Bai Nuan nodded with tears in her eyes, took out an embroidered handkerchief from her arms and gently wiped the sweat beads on Xiaohu's face.

"Thirsty? Sister takes you to drink water. Bai Nuan said softly to Xiaohu.

Xiaohu licked his dry lips and nodded his little head. Bai Nuan took Xiaohu's hand and walked towards Bai Yiyu's house.

The moment he saw Xiaohu for the first time, Bai Yiyu was also slightly shocked. Not to mention Xiaohu's appearance and body shape, his face covered with small scars alone made Bai Yiyu unbearable to look at.

"Him?" Bai Yiyu couldn't help but ask, watching Xiaohu look at the room with curiosity on his face, and finally stopped his gaze on the snacks on the table. But he only glanced at it, and then lowered his head silently.

"He is an adopted child of the village chief, called Xiaohu. My sister had a good rest, and I took Xiaohu to beg for saliva to drink. Bai Nuan took Xiaohu's hand and said to Bai Yiyu.

"Isn't that there? Drink it here! Bai Yiyu spoke up and stopped Bai Nuan's steps that were about to take place.

Bai Nuan looked back and looked at Bai Yiyu. Sister, it's really different from the person she imagined, she doesn't dislike Xiaohu?

"Cup."

"The cup is already for drinking, so give it to the child!" Bai Yiyu interrupted Bai Nuan's words with a loud voice.

"Uh-huh." Bai Nuan nodded, and took a clean white porcelain cup and poured it for Xiaohu.

"Boom! Boom! ”

Xiaohu drank it all in one gulp, and Bai Nuan poured a full cup for Xiaohu.

At this time, Xiaozhi and Xiaoya came, both holding a green candle in their hands. They carefully lit the lamps in the room, and the room, which was still a little dark, immediately lit up.

And Bai Yiyu can also see Xiaohu's face more clearly, his body is as thin as firewood, and his face is still slightly yellowish because of the long-term lack of nutrition, but his expression is full of unyielding energy.

"Twig go and bring the ointment from the medicine box and rub it on the child's face." Bai Yiyu instructed Xiao Zhidao. The boy didn't know how to get it, and his face was covered with small wounds, as if he had been beaten or stabbed by a small branch while running madly in the mountains.

"Yes, girl." The sprig gently blew out the green candle in his hand and placed it in the box. Walked to the book collection room, opened the wooden box, and asked Bai Yiyu, "Girl?" ”

She had only been Bai Yiyu's eldest maid for a short time, and she didn't know much about many things, so she had to ask.

"Take the red bottle in the middle of the right row." Bai Yiyu heard the voice of the twig and looked up.

At this time, the little girl who was standing by the door after lighting the lantern heard the greeting of Zhou Xiaogu and Zhou in charge not far from the door, and immediately walked out.

Bai Yiyu didn't say anything when she saw her back, but she was thinking in her heart that she would ask her to come over from Zhou Zhangshi when she left, so that she and her younger brother Bai Jingqing could be matched in the future.

Jingqing, my sister hopes that you will be happy in this life.

Don't be like in your previous life, just when you arrive and leave.

Xiaohu, who had drunk about seven or eight glasses of water, finally stopped being thirsty, but sat on a stool and waited for Xiaozhi to rub the medicine for him.

"Sister, I don't actually need to rub the medicine." Xiaohu said to Bai Nuan, this little injury has long been used to him. This medicine smells fragrant, unlike the medicine in the village, which smells very bad, and it must be expensive.

Xiaozhi, who had just walked out to fetch warm water, walked in, Bai Nuan took the handkerchief in her hand and whispered, "I'll come." ”

Then he slickly wet his face, and then wiped his face for the gentle little tiger: "In the future, don't be so reckless." ”

At this time, Bai Yiyu realized that Xiaohu's left hand had never been stretched out, and she took a deep breath to suppress the distress that surged in her heart.

"Put the dish down and have some dessert to fill your stomach. Wait a minute, you should be ready to eat. Bai Yiyu said to Xiaohu. A lot has happened today, and I have already missed the time for my weekday meal.

Xiaohu has long paid attention to the fact that there is a sister in the house who is more beautiful than Sister Nuan, and he has never seen such a good-looking sister. So Xiaohu guessed that she must be a fairy in the sky, otherwise how could she be so good-looking!

But he didn't dare to reach out for the dessert, but secretly glanced at Bai Nuan. Bai Nuan, who had just finished wiping the medicine for Xiaohu, nodded: "Come and wash your hands, and then go eat!" ”

Xiaohu, a child, rarely eats snacks since he was a child, because he is poor and his economic conditions are not good.

I don't know how the village chief and the group of children are doing now, so I must ask Xiaohu later.

Xiaozhi washed Xiaohu's right hand, and then Bai Nuan said to Xiaohu again: "You eat slowly, sister will come when she goes." ”

Xiaohu nodded, sat on the stool, took a piece of dim sum and ate it. It's delicious, maybe it's so delicious that it makes him gobble it up a bit. But after he had eaten two pieces, he did not eat them.

Bai Yiyu frowned slightly and looked at Xiaohu: "Are you choking?" ”

Twig immediately poured water for Xiaohu, who shook his head. Pointing to the dim sum with his right hand, he said, "Sister fairy, can I bring these dim sum back to my younger brothers and sisters to eat?" ”

"It's okay, you can eat if you like. When you get home, your sister is preparing a butterfly for your younger siblings. Bai Yiyu said. is really a child of the family, and he doesn't forget to bring back his younger siblings when he eats.

Xiaohu shook his head: "I'll keep it, I'm afraid they won't be enough." ”

Bai Yiyu smiled: "Why is it not enough?" There can be eight sweethearts in one butterfly. Do you have eight sisters in your house? ”

The Southern Dynasty had already decreed that only five or six children were allowed in a family. It is impossible for anyone to have eight, and then find out that the magistrate will be dismissed.

After all, the population problem in the Southern Dynasties was too serious in the past, resulting in many people starving to death due to lack of food.

Later, the ancestral emperor made this ironclad decision to let the crisis of the Southern Dynasty pass.

Xiaohu's expression suddenly turned unhappy and lowered his eyes and replied: "Our family has twenty sisters, because we are children abandoned by our parents, and we were picked up by the village chief's mother to raise them, and Sister Nuan has also been taking care of us. ”
