Chapter 130: Traveling Through Ancient Times as a Matchmaker (24)
With the joint efforts of a mother and son who have become monks halfway, the table will be filled with four dishes and one soup in a short time.
It is the braised pork that Xiao Mo carefully prepared with rice to eat, braised lion's head, cold salad, stir-fried lettuce, and pork bone soup.
"Mother, your cooking is so delicious!" Xiaoyao sat on a stool and gulped down his meal, just swallowing a piece of braised pork that was soft on the outside and soft on the inside.
"Half of your credit for that! After all, this is your fire. Xiao Mo praised with a smile, thinking that eating together for two people is indeed more fragrant than eating alone.
No wonder as the saying goes: one piglet doesn't eat bran, but two piglets eat it well.
Xiao Mo has basically figured out the characteristics of the system, as long as he makes dishes approved by the system, he can basically get food points, so this time, except for the pork bone soup, the rest of the dishes got eight food points.
Because the amount of each dish Xiaomo made was not much, it happened that the two of them had eaten it all, and there was nothing left.
After eating, the mother and son worked together to boil water, brush pots and wash dishes, and boiled hot water, which made Xiao Mo feel much more relaxed.
"Xiaoyao, come to wash your feet, wash your feet with hot water, and sleep soundly at night." Xiao Mo used a wooden basin to hold two and a half basins of hot water.
"Yes, mother." Xiaoyao is now completely immersed in the excitement of having a mother, and feels that everything is new.
Obediently took off his shoes, and remembered the ugly chilblains left on his feet because of the cold winter, and couldn't help but shrink his feet, so that no one could see them.
When Xiao Mo saw the carefree appearance, he knew that this baby had low self-esteem, and sighed in his heart.
"Xiaoyao, show your mother, how your feet are frozen like this, my mother has no dislike, only distressed." Xiao Mo said.
The little feet should be delicate and smooth, but the small feet are covered with large and small chilblains, which makes people feel distressed.
"Xiaoyao, don't be afraid, tomorrow my mother will take you to the pharmacy to prescribe medicine, and you won't freeze this year! Well, it may be a little uncomfortable to put your feet in the basin, you have to bear with it......" Xiao Mo soothed.
"Good ......" Xiaoyao looked at his mother's distressed eyes, and felt a warm current slowly flowing through the dry heart.
It's good that this person doesn't dislike me!
Xiao Mo knew that his feet that had frostbite would itch when they touched hot water, and he was ready to endure it, but he didn't expect that although the child's body trembled slightly, he still insisted on soaking for ten minutes, and Xiao Mo felt even more pity in his heart.
Because of the hurry, he didn't have time to clean up Xiaoyao's room, so Xiao Mo took Xiaoyao to live in the master bedroom temporarily, and made up his mind to buy bedding supplies tomorrow.
In ancient times, there was no electricity, except for the rich and noble, scholarly families could also use candles and kerosene lamps to illuminate, and the average family basically rested early.
Xiao Mo also belongs to the group of people who go to bed early today, lying on the quilt with Xiaoyao, learning to put his younger brother to sleep like when he was a child, and gently patting Xiaoyao to soothe him to sleep.
When Xiaoyao was deliberately stable, Xiao Mo silently operated the inner meridian of the mental method, letting the internal force flow and run in the meridians, and did not notice that Xiaoyao was sleeping more and more deeply after running the mental method by himself.
Xiaoyao only felt that the mother's patter was so gentle, and in her sleep she felt more and more comfortable, feeling like walking in the clouds, soft and warm.
The early morning sunlight shines through the window, and the wisps of it are sprinkled into the room, Xiao Mo opened his eyes, and after cultivating the Yunshang Heart Sutra, he fell asleep more deeply, and his early morning state was better.
Looking at Xiaoyao who rubbed his eyes and was still confused, Xiao Mo laughed: "Xiaoyao, wake up, get up quickly, there are a lot of things to do today!" ”
"Yes, mother." Hearing Xiao Mo's laughter, Xiaoyao felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly opened his eyes.
Looking at the gentle and amiable smile of the mother in the morning light, I feel warm.
Last night was the most restful sleep I can remember.
After the two finished washing, Xiao Mo took Xiaoyao to the street for breakfast first, and then the mother and son came to the yamen to register the adoption of Xiaoyao.
The yamen of Jiading Mansion is no different from what you see on TV, with two mighty stone lions in front of the door, and four people wearing official uniforms standing under the steps.
First, because there are few people in the early morning, and secondly, because the people have been afraid of officials since ancient times, so the front of the yamen looks very deserted.
"My lord, I want to adopt this child as a son, I don't know what procedures to go through?" When he came to the Yamen, Xiao Mo's eyes were also black.
I can only play the role of my mouth, find someone who looks more amiable, and ask.
"You need to go to Lord Liu, who manages the household registration, to register, and you need to pay twenty wen for about it." Sure enough, this official still belongs to the type of enthusiastic civil servant who is more practical, not the kind of person who doesn't know anything.
"Thank you, thank you, my lord, it's just that the folk women are informed, I don't know where our mother and son should go to meet Lord Liu?"
In ancient times, there was no modern office hall in general, each window has signs, and people who generally know words can find the corresponding window when they go in, and then there are front desk service guidance personnel.
On TV, there are generally only drumming and redressing grievances, and the picture of the public trial, which is not helpful to Xiao Mo at all.
Under the cover of his sleeve, Xiao Mo put the five cents in the hands of this kind replying officer.
"It's still early, you two come with me! I'll give you a ride. ”
Xu is a good public servant who belongs to the people with a red heart, or maybe it is because of Xiao Mo's five pennies, this official explained to the three colleagues next to him, and took Xiao Mo and the two to the side.
Xiao Mo hurriedly pulled Xiaoyao to thank him again.
"Thank you for this adult, I don't know your surname?" Xiao Mo thought that it would be easier to know more about the person, so he asked about the surname of this official.
"Don't give your surname Yang, a single word Yang, don't say that adults are not big, just a small servant." Yang Yang waved his hand again and again.
"If you want to be so enthusiastic as adults, and do practical things for us and other people, you will be promoted one day." Xiao Mo said. People who do practical things like this will not be promoted, unless the leader is blind.
Entering from the side door of the government office, turning left to the end of the road and turning right, Xiao Mo saw a room with the book "Household Registration Office".
Sure enough, this is it.
Yang Yang said, "This is it, send the Buddha to the west, and I'll lead you in." ”
Yang Yang saw that Xiao Mo's temperament was not as cowardly as ordinary people, but he could talk to himself, and felt that Xiao Mo was not an ordinary person, so he wanted to make a good fate.
"Lord Liu, this lady wants to adopt a child, and I will bring them to you to register." Yang Yang greeted.
Xiao Mo and the two hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
It can be regarded as someone in the court who is easy to do, and it didn't take a while, this matter was done, and Zhao Yingying recorded a son named Zhao Xiaoyao.
This can be regarded as Xiaomo's adoption of Xiaoyao in the official file, and Zhao Xiaoyao can be regarded as having a household registration, not a black household.
Don't you know that Xiao Mo, in line with the idea of "the king of Hades is good, but the little ghost is difficult", feels that the normal humble attitude towards the government personnel has planted a seed in Xiaoyao's heart.
must be a big official, so that the mother will never bend down to others again.
