Chapter 236: Poor Orphan (Asking for Divine Light)

When Lian Qingshan returned home with Chai Jin's mother, sister, and six children of different ages, Cui'er had already prepared a meal and boiled hot water at home.

Cui'er thought that Lian Qingshan would come back exhausted, and also thought that he would bring some disaster victims, such as Chai Jin's mother and sister back, but she didn't expect that what he brought back were six orphans of different ages.

These children, the eldest is about ten years old, the younger one is only three or four years old, and the clothes on their bodies are all mud and water, although they have been roughly changed by Lian Qingshan, but the people who came back with them are not dry, how good can these children be?

"Qingshan, you guys go and change your clothes, and then go to the kitchen and drink a big bowl of ginger soup, and then we will start the meal later." Cui'er was busy and said to Lian Qingshan and Uncle Zhong, although it was summer, it was cold and tired after a busy afternoon, and if it was not warmed well, it would be sick.

"You're all hungry, aren't you?" Cui'er asked Xiangmo to take care of the sick and groggy Chai Jinniang, and by the way, she also took Chai Jin's sister away, and she came to the rest of the children, looking at the dirty children in front of her, the helplessness and dazedness in their eyes made Cui'er's eyes hurt.

"This is my house, and you can stay here until your family comes to pick you up. Coming here is like coming home, and you'll live here from now on, okay? Cui'er said to the children, seeing their shrinking appearance, Cui'er knew that these children must still be scared in their hearts when their families suddenly changed, so she smiled at them gently, and prepared to solve their problems of eating and sleeping first.

When he saw that two of the six children were older, he said to the two men. "You two are the eldest of these children, you are their big brothers and sisters, if you need anything, you can come to me, understand?"

The ten-year-old boy, who looked the oldest, nodded blankly. There is no panic on the little face, and even the expression has not changed much, which looks very worrying.

"You two are the eldest of the children, and they are from the village, and in the future, these children will mainly be taken care of by the two of you. There's hot water in the bathroom, so take off your clothes, take a hot shower, and then we'll eat!" ”

As Cui'er was talking, the apprentice who had been summoned by Cui'er to stay at home came over. The apprentices were all in their teens, much older than the orphans.

At the moment, Cui'er took these children to get busy, the female apprentice helped the girls take a bath, the male apprentice helped the boys take a bath, and even the big girl came up to help, and finally washed the six children warmly and cleanly, and then led this string of poor orphans who were still in a daze to eat.

The meal that Cui'er cooked was not only the amount that the family eats on weekdays. Instead, I made a lot of more, steaming soup with water, and a stew with a lot of meat served with large, fluffy white flour steamed buns. Such a meal is even more hearty than a New Year's meal in the eyes of several children.

Seeing the fluffy white-flour steamed buns, and seeing a lot of meat in the dishes on the table, the young children all showed some smiles on their faces, and their eyes were also shining, and they drooled at the food on the table. Obviously, I didn't know much about the fact that I had become an orphan, and I only saw the food in front of me.

"Let's go up to the kang and eat." Tsui Er asked two female apprentices to eat with her six children. Watching those little children happily eating one by one, the older children were sensible. But her eyes were slightly bright, Cui'er's heart was slightly lowered, and she took the girl out of the West House and returned to the East House.

The food on the kang table has also been arranged, and even Qingshan is sitting on the kang head, looking down and pondering something, his wet hair is still dripping, but he doesn't realize it.

"Aoyama, what are you thinking?" Cui'er looked at Lian Qingshan's appearance, and took a towel from the side to cover Lian Qingshan's head in distress, and gently helped him squeeze out the moisture in his hair.

"I ...... Thinking about the cliff bottom village, Cui'er, you know? When I went to the cliff bottom village today, the whole village was flooded, and so many people in the village, young and old, were crowded on a small dirt slope...... This natural disaster is so ferocious that the children I brought back have no families. Even Qingshan's voice trembled slightly, he really couldn't imagine that those people from the same village would just throw the child down without even asking.

However, the truth is so cold, if I didn't bring these children back, I don't know if the village chief of Yadi Village will pick up the children, if not, then tonight's six children will not face steaming food and a warm house, but a night of hunger and cold, and may be killed at any time, right?

"Qingshan, it's okay, aren't we here? Although our strength is not large, it is no problem to raise a few children, and these children are not just eating and not working, are they? We can teach them skills, and when they grow up, they can work in our dim sum workshop, or they can go to the tea garden and tea factory, as long as they learn a skill, they will not starve to death wherever they go. ”

Cui'er comforted Lian Qingshan softly, helped him wipe his hair, saw that the food on the table was about to be cold, and hurriedly served him a bowl of hot soup, "Hurry up and eat, you have been busy all day today, you are cold and tired, you can't be hungry anymore." ”

"Well, let's not talk about that." Lian Qingshan wiped his face, took the hot soup in Cui'er's hand, tried the temperature and drank it all, he took a deep breath and suppressed the different thoughts in his heart.

"Qingshan, eat first, no matter what, it is a great merit that you have saved so many lives today. Whether the people next to you are indifferent or selfish, as long as you think about the living children in the West House, they live well, they can eat, drink, run and jump, they are better than anything else. Cui'er helped Lian Qingshan to serve the rice, put the rice bowl in his hand, and persuaded softly.

If it is said that saving Chai Jin was to save people's lives and have to bring people home, then bringing Chai Jin's mother and sister back was moved by Chai Jin's desperate efforts and requests, as for the remaining six children...... To be honest, even Qingshan was very embarrassed in his heart, but he couldn't throw away his life, so he could only bring it back.

"Qingshan, eat vegetables!" Cui'er looked at Lian Qingshan holding the rice bowl and picking up the rice, but she didn't even take a bite of the dish, sighed slightly, and put a chopstick dish into his bowl.

"Qingshan, to be honest, I have mixed feelings when you bring back so many children." Cui'er put down her rice bowl and looked at Lian Qingshan with fixed eyes, seeing that his body stiffened after listening to what he said, she knew that he cared too much about his thoughts.

Lian Qingshan's lips squirmed, wanting to say that he didn't actually want to bring those children back, and he wanted to say that he had no choice, he couldn't leave the children there alone, and wanted to say a lot of things...... But he drooped his eyelids, and didn't say anything, but pursed his lips tighter, because he really didn't know how to say it.

Just when Lian Qingshan's heart was very worried, for fear that Cui'er would blame herself for being nosy, she suddenly heard Cui'er's voice like a heavenly sound, "Qingshan, I am really happy that you can bring these children back, even if it may cause a lot of trouble, but there are so many children who can suffer less because of us, my heart is really happy." ”

"Dad, mother, I'm happy too! In the future, there will be a lot of children in our family who can play with me! The big girl didn't notice Lian Qingshan's abnormality, raised her little face from the rice bowl, and said with a smile.

"Well, the big girl helped the little sister take a bath today, and she did a great job!" Cui'er helped the big girl smooth her hair, and said with a gentle smile, the big girl was very happy after being praised, and she helped Xiaohu with a chopstick dish in the style of a big sister, and then buried her head in eating.

Cui'er helped Lian Qingshan sandwich a chopstick dish, "Qingshan, our family is not rich, if you want to raise these children as your own, I'm afraid you can't afford to take care of them, I total, let's leave these children at home first, if there are relatives in the village at the bottom of the cliff to find them, let them take the children away, if they really become orphans, let's leave this child, when they are young, they will be a companion for Da Niu and Xiaohu, and when they are older, they will either go to a dim sum workshop or a tea shop as an apprentice, and they are all protégés." ”

Cui'er's attitude is obviously very resolute, it is a good thing for these children to stay, and she approves of it, but the children who stay are not raising them for them to be uncles, but to rely on their own hands to work to earn money to support themselves, either sell themselves as slaves, or sign a contract to be apprentices, after all, Cui'er's meaning is very clear, she does not raise idlers.

"Cui'er, you're right, the conditions of our family are not yet enough to support so many idlers, and after today, after the children have recovered, I will go and tell them." Lian Qingshan listened to Cui'er's words, and the big stone in his heart was put down, as long as these children were not driven out and left to fend for themselves, it would be very good, as a child in the mountains, there was nothing to say about self-reliance, and it must be done.

The big stone in my heart was put down, and even Qingshan had an appetite for eating, after all, he had been busy for a whole day, people were iron and steel, and no matter how strong a person was, he couldn't live without eating, right? Lian Qingshan ate three bowls of rice with his arms in his arms, and then he burped and touched his stomach, and sat comfortably on the edge of the table to drink soup.

In the Westhouse, the six children who were taken care of by the two female apprentices, Huiya and Liu'er, were a little drowsy after eating. After Cui'er took Xiangmo to settle Chai into the family of three, she settled the six children again, and it wasn't until she was busy with backache that she settled everyone down.

The night sky after the rain was very clear, and the shining stars twinkled in the sky, illuminating the quiet village and the group of sleeping people. (To be continued)
