Chapter 53: Experience

The boy hurriedly shook the little doll while holding it, and said anxiously: "Sister, don't cry, sister is good, brother hugs you...... We'll have food in no time. ”

But a little doll, how can she understand this.

The crying was even more fierce, the boss with his small mouth open, revealing the pink gums that had not yet grown teeth, and his nose and eyes were wrinkled.

The little doll's brother was at a loss, and while shaking his sister gently, he looked at Shen Lexi in fear, and explained with a red face: "Sister Xi, my sister is usually very well-behaved and doesn't cry...... I just cry for a while when I'm hungry...... Sister Xi, don't let me and my sister go...... We...... We...... Woowoo woo ......"

In the end, he was still just a child, and when it came to the hurry, he also cried, tears flowed down, and looked at Shen Lexi pitifully.

The other little radish heads also looked at Shen Lexi nervously.

The cries of the brother and sister were like the night breeze that suddenly blew in the cold winter, and the joyful atmosphere froze instantly.

Shen Lexi looked at this little face full of panic and nervousness, only to feel that the blockage in his heart was even worse, and his eye sockets were very sore.

She hurriedly raised her head, took advantage of the gap between her hair, wiped the back of her hand from her eyes quickly, and then walked over, took the little doll from the little boy's hand, first tested the body temperature with her forehead against the little doll's forehead, felt that there was no sign of fever, and then reached out and touched the torn jacket wrapped in the little doll, felt that her hand was wet, her heart was clear, and she turned her head and shouted: "Red hearts——"

"Huh! It's coming, it's coming! ”

Red hearts were killing fish, and when she heard Shen Lexi calling her, she hurriedly washed her hands in the basin next to her, and strode over: "Miss...... Hey, whose little doll is this? Why are you crying so much? Are you hungry? ”

"I'm wet, I guess I'm hungry and cold." Shen Lexi said, "Red hearts, I'll go buy something for this little doll, and you beckon the chestnuts to play with them." ”

"Oh, okay...... Eh, Miss Ie, if you tell the maid what she needs to buy, let the maid buy it. There are a lot of people on the street, in case ......".

Shen Lexi interrupted her: "It's okay, I'll take someone with me." She looked at the little doll's brother, "You come with me." "So that the kid can rest assured.

The little doll's brother nodded hurriedly: "Hmm! Good! ”

"I'll go with you, too." The boy's dull voice rang out.

Shen Lexi turned his head to see that it was the young man named Erniu.

Erniu: "...... I have a lot of strength, and if something happens, I can help. ”

Chestnut also said: "Yes, yes, Sister Xi, let Brother Erniu go too, Brother Erniu has the strength to beat the bad guys, he is amazing." ”

Shen Lexi glanced at the young man, nodded and said, "Okay." I'm sorry for you, Brother Erniu. ”

“…… No hassle. ”

The three of them came out of the side door of the diner, and after walking a short distance, they saw a ready-to-wear shop, Shen Lexi went in with the child, and a middle-aged woman greeted her warmly: "Girl......" Suddenly saw that she was still holding a child in her arms, so she hurriedly changed her name to Mrs.

Shen Lexi didn't bother with these titles, and went straight to the point: "The little doll pees, auntie, do you have any small clothes for sale here...... Are you sure? That's great. ”

Originally, she just wanted to help the little doll buy clean clothes to change into, but she didn't expect the middle-aged woman to be an enthusiastic person, not only providing clothes, but also hot water.

Later, when she heard that the little doll was crying because she was hungry because she had no milk to eat, the woman said enthusiastically: "What a coincidence! My daughter-in-law has just come out of confinement, and she just has milk, madam, if you don't dislike it, do you want my daughter-in-law to feed this doll two mouthfuls of milk? ”

There is no dislike in this, it is not too late to be grateful, Shen Lexi was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked the woman.

The woman smiled and said, "Oh, thank you, these are small things." Turning his head, he shouted to the back: "The second one's family!" ”

A young daughter-in-law came out, and the woman said to her, "The second one's doll is peeing, you take her to the backyard, wash her in a basin of hot water, and then find a set of Bao'er's clothes to change, and then feed the child some milk." ”

The young daughter-in-law responded, and immediately led Shen Lexi and the others into a room in the backyard, and she herself lifted her feet out, but after a while, she turned back, holding a steaming large wooden basin in her hand, and said with a smile: "Madam, I have adjusted the water temperature, you help the doll wash first, I'll go get clean clothes, and I'll change the doll later." ”

The young daughter-in-law was a quick woman, and when she had finished speaking, she lifted her foot up again and went out to get her clothes.

Shen Lexi also sat down on the small stool in front of the wooden basin, untied the torn cotton jacket wrapped around the little doll, and took off the small clothes soaked with urine on his body, and then supported the back of the doll's head with one hand and the doll's little ass with the other, and carefully put it into the bathtub.

Babies are born with a love of water, even if they have been away from their mother's womb for a while, they are still happy to see water, two pink and tender little feet are happily fluttering in the water, and the two little hands are like duck wings, happily beating the water.

Shen Lexi was caught off guard and let the little doll slap the water on the face, and the little doll's brother hurriedly grabbed his sister's two little hands and anxiously coaxed: "Sister is good, sister don't make trouble, okay?" You see, you've got your sister's clothes wet. ”

persuaded his sister to be obedient, and he didn't forget to peek at Shen Lexi carefully, looking particularly afraid that she would be angry.

It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age, and this is true.

He himself is still a child who needs to be taken care of by adults, but on his immature little shoulders, he has already picked up the burden of supporting his sister.

Shen Lexi only felt congested, hurriedly comforted him and said that it was okay, and then began to help the little doll clean.

In her previous life, when she was an actress, in order to play the role of a good mother, she deliberately went to the confinement center for training for a period of time, and she was also experienced in how to take care of these little dolls.

Soon, the little doll went from the initial resistance and non-cooperation to squinting and humming comfortably.

Seeing her like this, Shen Lexi burst into laughter, tapped her finger lightly on her little nose, and scolded with a smile: "Tsk, little fart, I'm quite good at enjoying it." ”

In order to keep warm in the house, a small brazier was born, at this time the charcoal was burning, and bathing the baby was also a physical job, and it didn't take a long time for Shen Lexi to have a thin layer of sweat on the tip of his nose and forehead, and a small face was also flooded with a thin layer of redness under the hot fumigation, and the skin became more and more crystal clear, and the blow could be broken.

And there is tenderness between her eyebrows and eyes.

The young man named Erniu on the side seemed to be stunned, his eyes straightened, and he looked at her in a daze.

There was no understanding in his eyes.

It wasn't until the young daughter-in-law pushed the door in with clean clothes that he came back to his senses like waking up from a big dream, and hurriedly got up to give up his position to the daughter-in-law, and he himself retreated to the side, holding his arms, staring at Shen Lexi with sharp eyes, and when Shen Lexi suddenly turned back as if he was conscious, the sharpness in his eyes had long disappeared.

In its place, there was calmness.

Shen Lexi, who was in the air, frowned - strange, why did she have a feeling like a man's back just now?

Could it be a delusion?

At this moment, I suddenly heard the daughter-in-law say: "Madam, your daughter is really handsome, look at this big eyes and small nose, she is a beautiful embryo when she grows up." To tell you the truth, I have already given birth to two boys before, I thought this baby would be a girl, but I didn't expect it to be another boy. ”

The daughter-in-law looked envious.

Shen Lexi had to retract his thoughts for the time being, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, you misunderstood, this doll is not mine." ”

"Huh?" The daughter-in-law was stunned.

Shen Lexi looked at the little doll's brother and briefly explained the matter, and the daughter-in-law sighed when she heard it, and sighed: "It's really not easy for such a small doll to live on the streets all day long, and survive on such a cold day...... Little brother, are your parents and relatives gone? ”

This is also the question that Shen Lexi wants to ask.

As the daughter-in-law said, such a small doll is on the streets, not to mention that she is hungry and full, and she sleeps in the open air, in case of repeated colds and fevers, her life will be in danger at any time.

It's better to have a stable place to live, and an adult to take care of it, so that it is appropriate.

The little doll's brother said with red eyes: "There are no relatives, my mother took me and my sister from the countryside to Kyoto to look for my father, but my father found it, but he died, and my mother was sad and died...... Before she died, my mother grabbed my hand and told me that I must take good care of my sister and not let her starve to death...... But I was so useless that I couldn't take care of my sister...... Woooooooo ”

As he spoke, the little boy burst into tears of self-reproach.

The daughter-in-law who listened couldn't help but sigh again.

Shen Lexi lowered his eyes and didn't speak, silently helped the little doll get dressed, and picked everything up, and then sent the child to the young daughter-in-law's arms: "Sister, please feed the doll." ”

The daughter-in-law hurriedly said, "Hey, what's the trouble here." Madame, don't worry, I'll keep the doll full. As he spoke, he was about to lift his shirt, but suddenly remembered something, and glanced at Erniu with a slightly red cheek, Shen Lexi suddenly said to the young man: "Erniu, you go to the front and wait first, and let the eldest sister breastfeed the doll." ”

The young man didn't know what was going on, and since he entered the room, he had been staring at her with good eyes, and his expression had been in a state of stunned.

Especially looking at the way she looks...... Weird.

Thanks to his clear and clean eyes, there was no messy color, otherwise Shen Lexi would have wondered if this young man had any intentions for her.

After the small half-pillar incense, Shen Lexi came out with the little doll who had eaten and drunk sweetly and slept sweetly.

She was holding the child in her arms, and she couldn't rummage through the purse to find broken silver, so she tore off the purse hanging from her waist with one hand and threw it to Erniu: "Erniu, you help me pay the money." ”

Erniu caught the purse and opened it slowly.

A set of clothes, a small quilt, a meal of milk, and a large basin of hot water for bathing...... A tael of silver should be enough, right?

So he turned over a silver ingot of fifty taels and solemnly handed it to the middle-aged woman.
