Chapter 012: Visiting Lizheng
The old woman and the old woman were comparing and drawing on the side, the old woman's hunchback was very serious, but looking at her movements and demeanor, she was very capable, her hands and feet were fast, and she should be more impatient than the old man who collected medicine.
After a while, the two stopped communicating and walked to Xifu together.
The old woman took Xifu's hand, and the two sat on a bench together, and the old man sat on a bench next to him, looking at them with a smile on his face.
"Girl, why did you go up alone?"
"Mother-in-law, I am a fisherman in Daze country, my father and mother accidentally fell into Daze Lake, they all drowned, my uncle was going to sell me to Goolan Courtyard, I resisted to death, my uncle locked me in the house, I took advantage of him to go out, ran away alone, thinking that they would not be able to catch him when he ran to the mountains. "Xifu knows very well that if he wants to obtain a legal identity in Yongzhen Kingdom, he needs to arouse the sympathy of these two old men.
Sure enough, after listening to Xifu's words, the old woman was first angry and then sympathetic, "You still call that big uncle, he also deserves it, it's almost the same to call the beast, good girl, what kind of sin did you create in your last life, and you have to suffer so much in this life", the old woman's eyes couldn't help but be a little red when she said that.
"I and the old man, and we have no children under our knees. If you want, be our daughter, I wonder if we have this blessing?" the old woman said this, and she squirmed a little, as if she had made a very shameful request.
Xifu hurriedly shook off the old woman's hand, and knelt down in front of the old woman all of a sudden, "I do", and then pounded three times, the old woman hurriedly came over and pulled her up, looked left, looked again, couldn't see enough, and finally laughed with tears and snot.
Xifu knelt down at the old man who was collecting medicine, kowtowed three times in a row, and called Daddy. The old man smiled from ear to ear, and he was also a person with a daughter from now on.
The old woman happily brought washing water for the father and daughter, and the old man asked Xifu to wash it too, and he washed it again after she finished washing. After a while, the old woman brought out two bowls of egg soup as if she was playing a trick, the eggs were as clean and white as jade, the egg yolk was red in the middle, floating on the red soup, and the aroma was overflowing.
Xifu couldn't wait to drink it, but the old woman hurriedly interrupted her, "Ouch, this kid hasn't eaten for a long time, how can he drink it so hot, scoop up the eggs with a spoon and eat them first, and after eating the eggs, the soup should be ready to eat."
Xifu Chong smiled at the old woman, "Thank you...... Mother", the first time I called my mother, it was a little uncomfortable.
The old woman said, "What is polite to A-Niang, you are not allowed to be polite in the future." Then the old woman sat across from her, watching them eat and drink, with a smile on her face.
"Hey, by the way, we'll go to the mayor's house tonight and give you a household registration, it's very convenient to go anywhere in the future."
As soon as Xifu heard that he had entered the household registration and had a new identity, he was naturally happy.
"Oh, I forgot, what should you be called, the old man's surname is Lin, you are a great joy for the Lin family, so it's okay to call you Lin Xi'er?"
"Lin Xi'er, Lin Xi'er, hehe, a little dirty, people used to call me Xifu, saying that my temper is like that Xifu begonia, just call me Linxifu", Xifu is the name given to her by an old gentleman invited by Goolan Academy, and she has been called for five or six years, and she has long been used to it.
"Linxi Mansion, Linxi Mansion, it's also very good, it's nice and smooth, then it's called Linxi Mansion. ”
After dinner that night, Ah Niang took Xifu and Ah Dad to the east of the village, and Li Zheng lived in the east of the village.
After the introduction of the old woman, Xifu knew that this village is called Berao Village, most of the people in the village are surnamed Lin, there are more than 200 households, with two li, one hundred households, one hundred and two households, each with a Lizheng, Xifu father's family belongs to a Lizheng named Lin Zhuangzhi Lizheng under the jurisdiction of the Berao Village Jiali. The official who is bigger than Li Zheng is called Xiangzheng, ten miles is the township, and the township is above the county order and the county lieutenant, and the county order is as big as the county lieutenant official, and the content of the management is different, how is it different, A-Niang, an old woman in the countryside, I don't know.
Lin Zhuangzhi's family is obviously much richer than his father's family in Xifu, this is a three-room blue brick house, with a vermilion lacquer door, and it is a typical well-off family.
After the old woman knocked on the door a few times, the door slowly opened, and out of the door was a fat mother-in-law with a smile on her face, who was the same age as A-Niang, but her body was straight, and her hair was darker than A-Niang. The fat mother-in-law greeted her affectionately and let the three of them in.
After entering the house, Xifu saw that there were several other people in the house, a tall and thin old man, about 60 years old, about Li Zheng's father; a slightly chubby man, about 40 years old, with a dark complexion, and a righteous body, should be Li Zheng Lin Zhuangzhi; a white middle-aged woman, with a gentle demeanor, should be Lin Zhuangzhi's wife, and a boy and a girl have two children, the boy is about seven or eight years old, and the girl is about four or five years old, and should be Lin Zhuangzhi's children. This is the standard three-generation household.
Li Zhenglin Zhuangzhi respectfully beckoned the "second grandmother" and "second master" to sit down (probably called with his child), and his eyes stayed on Xifu for a while, this is a raw face, although it is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old female doll, but it is also to report to the township chief.
Lin Zhuangzhi politely talked to the second wife a few times, and then asked about the origin of this little girl. "Second grandmother, this female doll hasn't been to us before, has she?"
A-Niang said bitterly, "Zhuangzhi, we are here for her." She is the child of my distant sister's family, but unfortunately this child has a hard life, my sister and brother-in-law are sick and died, this child came to me, I have no children and no daughters with your second master, I want to adopt her as a daughter, this is not looking for you to give a household registration, it will be more convenient to have something in the future. ”
Everyone followed A-Niang's fingers and looked at Xifu. This girl looks so sweet, with a small melon seed face, slightly fat cheeks, big eyes, a small red mouth, black and shiny hair, but her body is too thin, like a sprout, it is estimated that it has not grown yet, if it grows, this girl is a big beauty.
Xifu looked at everyone generously, blinking at people with big eyes, not shy at all, and smiling a little.
The four or five-year-old boy ran over, stretched out his fat little finger and poked it in Xifu's face, drooling and said, "Hehe, A-Niang, can I marry her?"
Lin Zhuangzhi's wife hurriedly picked up the child, and slapped her son's little finger with a smile, "Stinky boy, how can you have the same virtue as your father at such a young age!"
Lin Zhuangzhi suddenly blushed and his neck was thick, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't continue to ask.
Xifu is embarrassed for the righteous people here, this Li is about to establish the majesty of Li Zheng, but it is really not easy!
Lin Zhuangzhi's wife saw her husband's face, and suddenly realized that she was speechless, and the scene was embarrassing for a while.
The hearty laughter of the lady in Xifu broke the embarrassment: "Haha, Hu Ziniang is right, in front of me and your second master, what is there to be embarrassed about, right?"
