Chapter 22: Weakness of Heart

As soon as she spoke, a young daughter-in-law, with a big belly, walked over with a boy in one hand.

"Dad, mother, help me take down the mountain, the hill, I'll go and pull the cloth to buy cotton to make cotton clothes for them." The little daughter-in-law let go of her hand and said with some difficulty holding her waist.

"Go, go, go slow." The proprietress hurriedly stepped forward to greet the two children.

The little daughter-in-law did not leave immediately; "Mother, I found out after I went out that I forgot to bring the silver."

When the proprietress heard this, she hurriedly entered the counter, ordered a handful of copper coins, and picked a piece of silver and handed it over.

The little daughter-in-law said, thanked her mother and left.

"This is the daughter-in-law of the second child of my family, and in March, the third child of his family will be born, I hope this child is a daughter." The proprietress said to Hong Xiaoduo with a smile.

"The second one? Auntie, how many sons do you have? Oh, I mean, look at your aunt, you're so young, you're a grandmother? After Hong Xiaoduo blurted out the question, she felt that she was asking inappropriately, so she hurriedly added an explanation.

The proprietress smiled: "The third son, the two sons of the old family, won't the second son give birth to the third child soon, the third son just gave birth to the first child last year." ”

When Hong Xiaoduo heard this, the plan that came out of her heart immediately dispelled.

People are all grandfathers and grandmothers, how can they adopt children if they have many children and grandchildren? Even if you have the conditions, you can kindly adopt one, and it is estimated that the third son of the family will not agree!

After the death of Hong Xiaoduo, looking at the seven little bald heads, enviously staring at the two boys who were hugged by their grandmothers in the shopkeeper, their hearts seemed to be poked by a blunt thing one by one, not very painful but just uncomfortable.

"Auntie, you guys are busy, I'll take them for a stroll and buy some snacks." Hong Xiaoduo couldn't bear to look at the envious eyes of the children, and hurriedly said goodbye.

"Little lady, if you don't leave in a hurry, come over tomorrow to play, I'll make a few hats out of cloth at night for them to wear, it's getting colder and colder." The two grandsons were coquettish and wanted to wear new shoes, but the proprietress didn't keep them.

Hong Xiaoduo smiled and thanked him, and continued to walk forward with the little bald heads.

Buying snacks is not how careful she is, but just looking at their envious eyes of those two boys who have family pain, which makes her feel that she should do something to make up for their young hearts.

In the place where she came, children love to eat snacks and something, and children in ancient times should be the same.

However, in ancient times, there were definitely no potato chips, lollipops, spicy strips or anything, and she only saw pastry shops on this street, not even a candy gourd seller.

On the modern ancient streets, there are also candy blowers and sugar paintings, but I haven't seen them.

"Does my mother really want to take us to buy pastries?"

"Yes, I really heard it, second brother, did you hear it too?"

"Hmm."

Hong Xiaoduo faintly heard the whispered conversation behind her, and she smiled.

Thinking of the first one hundred taels of income that was received, as well as the wool of this disciple of Shunaden, who ate a free meal of meat buns, I felt that it seemed that in this dynasty, it was not so difficult to make money, right?

Sure enough, people can't be too rich, and it's easy to float when there is more money, see if she is not all generous to the extent of paying for strangers!

Is it difficult to make money, no matter how bad it is, isn't there still the bad old man in the science and technology museum? Ask him to add some silver to the system, no, the silver ticket will not do. I can build it with seven babies by myself.

If she has money, can she make a place to adopt beggar orphans at her own expense? Find a reliable person to take care of it, and prepare enough funds for him in advance, even if he suddenly disappears here one day and returns to his original place, won't the children continue to live a worry-free life?

It's not right, no matter how much silver there is, they can't lead them to make it hard, in case of a long time, they who are good and pure-hearted, spoiled into giant babies who don't know how to cherish and be greedy for food, and only know how to enjoy nothing, is that equivalent to doing bad things with good intentions and ruining them.

Hong Xiaoduo realized the seriousness of the problem of placing the children, and the idea of finding a safe place to house them was too simplistic.

She thought as she walked, and realized that the hand she was holding was gently pulled, and she stopped and looked down at Yaoguang, thinking that this child wanted to relieve herself.

Before he could ask, he saw Yaoguang snorting at the shop on the side.

I saw the person coming out of the shop, carrying a pastry bag in his hand, and looked carefully at the signboard, the pastry shop.

Hong Xiaoduo couldn't hold back her laughter, and rushed into the shop with seven children.

The pastry shop is filled with the sweetness of pastries and the smell of roasted walnuts, almonds and pumpkin seeds.

Hong Xiaoduo even heard the faint sound of sniffling, and couldn't help laughing.

The shopkeeper looked at the guests who came in rarely, a little lady with seven good-looking little bald heads, it was so interesting.

"Dare to ask the little lady what pastries she wants to buy, eat them herself, or give them away, if you give them away, will it be an old man, a child or an adult?" The shopkeeper opened his mouth enthusiastically and asked carefully.

Hong Xiaoduo really wanted to ask the seven small ones which one they wanted to eat, because there were too many types of pastries, and they were very beautiful.

However, when I look at the children's eyes, it seems that they want everything.

"Shopkeeper, can you buy half a catty?" Hong Xiaoduo asked.

"Of course you can, my shop, let alone buying half a catty, even if you buy one, two, two, two, two." The shopkeeper responded with a smile, and there was no reaction at all to be too lazy to entertain.

Hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo looked at seven more small ones, and all of them pricked up their ears to listen, but there was no dislike on their little faces.

"It's not too hard, it's not too sweet, give half a catty of everything." Hong Xiaoduo spoke.

Looking at these seven again, they all looked shocked and incredible.

At least two dozen kinds of pastries on the counter?

The shopkeeper didn't feel surprised, and cooperated with the guy to move skillfully and neatly, weighing and packing, and tying up three packs of fine hemp rope.

In addition to the ones that she explained were too hard and too sweet, the shopkeeper also took the initiative to explain that there were two pastries, which were slightly cold medicinal pastries and were not suitable for women and children, so they were not weighed.

That's it, there are still twelve packets of wraps.

At the checkout, I also wiped the change, and I received 50 wen for six catties of pastries.

A few older children took the initiative to reach out and take it, but Hong Xiaoduo didn't rush to carry it, half a catty and a pack, and a string of three packs weighed only one and a half pounds, and it was not sinking. Besides, the children carry it themselves, and they are happier.

Turning around and just about to leave, Tianshu suddenly approached her, his eyes motioned for her to look out, Hong Xiaoduo saw that he was a little nervous, so he looked out, and as a result, he saw a few catchers measuring the height and asking the guys in the shop opposite, one of which she had seen before, was the gold catcher.

Shouldn't you be looking for them? Hong Xiaoduo is not sure, anyway, because there is no guide, and the villain who is not sure whether he is dead or alive before, it will inevitably make her and the children a little weak-hearted.

I can't hide from what I should do, what should I do......
