When Qiao Mai came back with a bowl of egg custard, he saw Ling'er lying on the shoulder of the shopkeeper Lu, gnawing on his fingers and grinning.

It's good that I didn't cry, so many people, and I'm worried that she will be scared.

Sitting next to the shopkeeper Lu, he was about to take Ling'er, "You eat, I'll feed her." ”

"It's almost full, I'll hold it, and you can feed it."

Ling'er was born on the second day of February, and now it has been more than nine months, and she is about to hold her hands when she sees the bowl with excitement.

"Good, the bowl is hot, blow and blow before eating."

Qiao Mai scooped a spoonful of custard with a spoon and blew it, and Shopkeeper Lu looked at her with a smile.

"Let's make a name,"

Qiao Mai thought for a moment, "Seeing that she is so smart, let's call Ling'er first, come, Ling'er, ah, eat egg custard." ”

Ling'er opened her small mouth, Qiao Mai fed a spoonful of egg custard into her mouth, and the three snacks next to her kept swallowing saliva.

It was as if the spoonful of custard was fed to them, especially Chuan'er, who looked at it pitifully.

Qiao Mai swept their expressions, knowing that the Fengyun brothers didn't eat this when they were young, and Chuan'er was born without a mother, and Yuan Jiaqi didn't know if he would do this.

So he said to them, "Tomorrow morning, I'll steam a big bowl for each of you."

"Hehe, thank you."

After a while, Ling'er was full, and there was still half a bowl of egg custard, Qiao Mai handed the bowl to Chuan'er.

"Do you dislike my sister's leftovers?"

Chuan'er smiled, "Don't dislike it, I'll eat it, and my mother will make a new one for my sister in a while." ”

He took the bowl, devoured it, and wiped his mouth when he was done.

"The custard is delicious, tender, slippery, and delicious"

As soon as he heard it, he hadn't eaten it, and Qiao Mai felt sad when he heard it.

The Yuan family hurriedly took over, "Then dad will start tomorrow and steam a bowl for each of you four every day?" ”

"Daddy wouldn't do this, would he?"

"Can Dad learn from your mother?"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Ling'er was very well-behaved after eating, and Qiao Mai hugged her over and let the shopkeeper Lu eat.

In my mother's arms, watch everyone eat, look at this person smiling, look at that person smiling.

After eating, Shopkeeper Lu looked at Ling'er, "There shouldn't be anything wrong with seeing her like this, on such a cold day, you don't need to go to the medical hall, I'll go and say hello to the mayor first." ”

"There's Sister Lao Lu."

"You're kind to me."

As soon as they heard this tone, they said goodbye and left, and Chen's mother and son also quickly stood up.

"We're home, too."

"Well, if your mother and son have something inconvenient at home, just hum?"

"Okay!"

Chen's mother and son left first, and Shopkeeper Lu also left with her people, and Fengyun and they began to clean up the table.

Yuan Jiaqi clapped his hands and took Ling'er, "I'll hold her, you see how you need to clean it up, let the children do it." ”

"I need to get this copper pot, and I just need to rinse the rest."

She carried the copper pot back to her bedroom and threw it directly into the space, where she didn't need to clean it at all, and the space was automatically cleaned and as good as new.

After coming back, Qiao Mai wrapped Ling'er again and carried her back to her bedroom.

She helped Ling'er in front of the window, "Look, it's snow outside, it's snowing, is it beautiful?" ”

"Goo, go, goo"

There was a burst of Ling'er's brass bell-like laughter, and Yuan Jiaqi smiled when he heard the voice.

Mrs. Qiao is a good person, she adopted Fengyun, and now she is going to adopt this girl, maybe in her eyes, she is the same as the adopted children.

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Ling'er has been staying in Qiao Mai's bedroom and has never gone out.

Seeing that there was nothing abnormal about her, she was relieved, and at this time, the shopkeeper Lu also sent a message, saying that there were no children in the town.

So Qiao Mai asked Yuan Jiaqi to help watch the child first, she wrote the child's name, as well as the date of birth on a piece of paper, and found the mayor of the town to ask him to help with the household registration.

After hearing that Qiao Mai had picked up another child to adopt, the mayor of the town was very emotional.

"If you want to be as knowledgeable as you and adopt these orphans, then how can there be so many beggars in the Ming Dynasty."

"Not necessarily, the good beggars are all captured and sold by traffickers, and the rest are disabled and surviving, so they should be helped."

"It's good to stay up when it's warm, but you can only stay in the broken temple when it's cold, it's better if the rich give porridge with kindness, if not, it's hard to say if you can survive this winter."

"Do we have a soup kitchen in town?"

Mayor Marew gave her a blank look, "Why not?" Old decay is one! ”

"Oh, it turns out that the mayor of the town is still a good man?"

"Alas~, the mayor of this town can only take care of our piece, I can't take care of it if I have more, there are tens of thousands of beggars in the Ming Dynasty, and our Qian family is not my home alone."

Qiao Mai naturally understood the meaning of his words, "Mayor Town, when will my daughter's household registration be completed?" ”

"Soon, okay, I'll have the guards send you over."

"Thank you, Mayor."

"Remember the New Year's gift."

Qiao Mai rolled his eyes, "Got it!" ”

Since Ling'er came out of the space, Qiao Mai has never been out of the stall again, guarding Ling'er at home every day, and she does embroidery work as soon as she sleeps.

The temperature in Tianshui Town is about minus 10 degrees during the day, and about minus 20 degrees at night, which is really cold.

Ling'er is still young and needs to be taken care of, Yuan Jiaqi is a man, and it's okay to take care of boys, but the girl still has concerns about his thoughts.

So, she had to stay at home.

A few days ago, she went into the space at night, searched the Internet for the weaving method of Luozi, found a few novel ones to learn, and then taught them to the Ruxin sisters.

Unexpectedly, these kinds of yarn were very easy to sell, so that the shopkeeper Lu came to her when he was fine.

When Ling'er woke up, she helped Qiao Mai take care of the child and asked Qiao Mai to do the embroidery work well.

"Girl?"

"Huh?"

"You see there's still a month to go before the New Year, what can I do to make my shop's business more prosperous?"

"What's wrong? In a hurry to use money? ”

"No, I just want to make business better and have a New Year's atmosphere."

Qiao Mai raised his head and glanced at her, "When my clothes are sold, I should be able to share a few thousand taels of silver with you." ”

"I didn't contribute, it's not appropriate to ask for your money."

"You can't eat a big fat man in one bite, you haven't even cultivated people now, how can your business be booming? I don't accept customized jobs, and I won't take them any way you say. ”

"I know, I know, isn't this like a core and a wishful heart."

"Xiuhong and Xiuyu are the pieces of material, aren't they?"

"I'm learning, it should be okay, I can do embroidery after the New Year."

The two were chatting idly, Qiao Mai had the heart to give her a dyeing craft, thinking that now was not the time.

The small family of the shopkeeper Lu can't keep this craft, and maybe it will bring disaster to her.

When, dang, when, the courtyard door rang, Qiao Mai immediately stood up.

"Sister Lu, sit down, it may be that Ling'er's household registration has been completed."

She ran out happily, and the Yuan family saw her come out and retreated back into the house.

The sound of children reading came from the living room, and listening to this sound, I felt that the books in the whole courtyard were particularly rich.

Qiao Mai opened the door, and sure enough, he saw the big brother of the guard.

"Mrs. Qiao, your family's household registration has been completed."

"Thank you, big brother guard, now I have a son, a daughter, and both children."

"Congratulations!"

Qiao Mai naturally wouldn't let him run in vain, stuffed him with a piece of silver, and then went back to the house to carry two boxes of cakes.

"No sugar and melon seeds, that's all, right?"

"Thank you, Lady Joe!"

"Escort Big Brother go slowly!"

She happily closed the courtyard door and plugged it in, and ran back to the house with her household registration in her hand.

"Sister Lu, look, the household registration has been completed."

"See how happy you are."

She hugged Ling'er and put a cotton hat on her, and went out of the house and went straight to the living room, and as soon as the children saw her come in, they immediately stopped reading.

"Aha, I'm sorry to disturb you, I'm so happy, Ling'er's household registration has been completed, she will be your sister in the future, come and say hello to my sister."

"Sister, sister!"

Qiao Mai squatted down and let Feng'er, Yun'er, Chuan'er, kiss Ling'er's face, and finally hugged Yuan Jiaqi.

"Come, Ling'er, this is Daddy!"
