"Yes, I can eat and sleep, I am white and fat, and I am a tiger with a tiger brain, and I look like a brother." Chu Qing said.
Master Huo laughed: "Okay, Chu Qing, you really have vision, your eyes are so good." ”
It may be that Master Huo's laughter was too loud, and the little girl hiding behind the quilt was so frightened that she sobbed.
Master Huo was stunned, put the little baby in his arms on the kang, and reached out to hug the girl.
When the girl saw his big hand stretched out, she was so frightened that she hurriedly hid back, her delicate face was white, and her small body trembled.
Master Huo's hand paused in mid-air, and then he retracted it dejectedly.
No wonder the shopkeeper said that this bigger one is not easy to bring.
He didn't know what to do for a while, and the sound of a baby babbling sounded in his ears again, and Master Huo turned his face and saw that the little child was stretching out his little hand at him.
He subconsciously reached out and took the infant child in his arms, and strangely enough, the child grinned as soon as he was picked up.
Yes, Sister Yun also liked to be hugged when she was a child, as long as she was picked up, she didn't cry or make trouble. Not only likes to let people pick up, but also likes to lift high, the higher he lifts, the happier Sister Yun is, whenever he lifts Sister Yun, his wife will be so frightened that she covers her mouth with a handkerchief, until Sister Yun returns to her arms safe and sound, she does not let go of her heart.
Thinking of this, Master Huo involuntarily lifted the child in his arms, and the child immediately cheered, and when he put the child down, the child still shouted at him with his small hand, as if he hadn't played enough.
It's a bold little guy.
Downstairs came the voice of the shopkeeper talking loudly, the rice porridge was cooked, Chu Qing went down to serve the porridge, and when he came back, he brought it with the shopkeeper lady.
"Master, this little girl may be afraid of you, the little one called the shopkeeper and asked the woman to feed her, she may not be afraid." Chu Qing said.
Master Huo thinks about it, although he is a father, he has never taken care of the child himself, Chu Qing has just gotten married, and he doesn't even have a child, let alone take care of the child. Fortunately, there is still a shopkeeper lady, and she can only rely on her at this time.
The shopkeeper added two rock sugars to the rice porridge, blew it lukewarm, carefully sent it to the corner of the girl's mouth, and said gently: "Sister is the most well-behaved, take a sip, it's sweet." ”
The little girl closed her lips tightly, and because of the exertion, her lips were slightly white and not rosy.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to continue to coax her: "Are you called sister?" Do you know how to speak? Call Aunt Voice. ”
The horror in the little girl's eyes became stronger and stronger, and just as the shopkeeper brought the spoon to her mouth again, she suddenly stretched out her hand and knocked over the spoonful of porridge.
A spoonful of porridge was sprinkled on the kang mattress.
The shopkeeper exclaimed, and hurriedly wiped the porridge stains on the kang mattress with a handkerchief, and the baby in Master Huo's arms also exclaimed, but her voice was joyful and happy.
Looking at those big obsidian-like eyes, Master Huo's heart moved, and he took the spoon from the bowl, although he didn't scoop the porridge, but there was a thin layer on the spoon.
Master Huo put the spoon to the baby's lips, and the baby immediately stretched out his bright red little tongue and licked it on the spoon, his eyes were full of joy.
Master Huo smiled, he gently touched the baby's thin face with his fingers, this little guy is really interesting, no wonder he looks white and fat.
A thought rose in his heart, he looked at the little girl on the kang with a vigilant face, and then at the little baby in his arms who was concentrating on licking the spoon, and finally made up his mind.
He said to the shopkeeper: "In any case, Mrs. please find a way to let this child eat, Mrs. Don't worry about the reward, Huo Mou will definitely thank you." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly waved her hand: "Master Huo, don't worry, Hengzhi is a child, the slave family gave birth to four children, and there is still some experience in this." ”
Master Huo was relieved and went to the outer room with the little baby in his arms.
After that, the shopkeeper used all her strength to finally keep the little girl from going hungry.
Master Huo had already instructed Chu Qing to go and find the big shopkeeper of the Luoyang Yongfeng branch.
The Luoyang branch was just set up this year, and the big shopkeeper has been in Yongfeng for more than ten years, and he has always done things in a measured manner. Within a few days, two nurses were found.
These two nurses, one surnamed Jiang and the other surnamed Dong.
Mama Jiang still has milk, so she will take care of the little one, and Mama Dong's milk is already insufficient, so she can take care of the girl.
Chu Qing didn't understand very much, the old man obviously liked the male baby, the male baby and the old man also had a fate, he had heard people say that there are women who can't give birth to children, and they often adopt a boy, which is said to be able to lure out their own flesh and blood.
Master Huo has always stubbornly refused to let the concubine give birth to his eldest son for him, so even if Mrs. Huo only gave birth to a daughter, Master Huo refused to accept a concubine, and the people of the Huo family knew that Master Huo wanted his wife to give him a son.
So now, does Master Huo want to adopt this baby boy so that his second son can be brought out?
The more Chu Qing listened, the more he felt that this was the reason, so he looked at the little boy with more sympathy.
But now, he felt that he might be thinking wrong, Master Huo seemed to have a true feeling for this little baby, maybe he really just wanted to adopt a child, not for another purpose?
Since bringing back these two children, Master Huo has not walked out of the inn for half a step, and he has also packed all the rooms on the second floor, so that the second floor of the inn is his people and his guards, even so, Master Huo also hired the largest Weiyuan dart game in Luoyang, and now this inn is occupied by guards and dart masters.
Occasionally, when a guest hears a child's cry, the innkeeper will explain that there are relatives living upstairs, and the child is still young, so he will cry a halfway.
More than a month passed in a blink of an eye, and one day, Master Huo was checking the accounts, and another guy ran up, still holding a letter in his hand.
Just like last time, Master Huo walked out after reading the letter.
Chu Qing was taken aback, last time Master Huo walked for an afternoon and a night, and when he came back, he brought back two little babies.
Master Huo went out alone without saying hello today, and when he came back this time, should he bring back two more children.
Chu Qing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, walking around the house.
Fortunately, this time, Master Huo came back soon, he entered the house, and he didn't see the two children, so he remembered that they were all at the nurse's place.
He said to Chu Qing, who was so anxious that he was sweating: "You go and call the two nurses over, I have something to say to them." ”
