Chapter 66： Mrs. Joe is a good person

Chapter 66 Mrs. Qiao is a good person

When Qiao Mai came back with a bowl of custard, he saw Linger lying on Shopkeeper Lu's shoulder, nibbling his fingers and grinning.

It's great, I didn't cry, there are 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 guys eat, I'll feed her."

"I'm almost full, I'll hold it, you come and feed it."

Ling'er was born on February 2nd, and it has been more than nine months now. When she saw the bowl, she was so excited that she was about to embrace it.

"Hey, the bowl is hot, blow it on before eating."

Qiao Mai took out a spoonful of egg custard with a spoon and blew it. Shopkeeper Lu looked at her with a smile.

"Come up with a name,"

Qiao Mai thought for a while, "Seeing how agile she is, let's call Linger first. Come on, Linger, ah, let's eat custard."

Linger opened her small mouth, and Qiao Mai fed a spoonful of custard into her mouth, while the three snacks beside her kept swallowing.

It seemed that the spoonful of custard was being fed to them, especially Chuan Er, who looked at it pitifully.

Qiao Mai saw their expressions, and knew that Brother Fengyun didn't eat this when they were young, Chuan'er even lost his mother when he was born, and Yuan Jiaqi didn't know if he would do this.

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

"Hey, thank you mother."

After a while, Linger was full, and there was still half a bowl of custard. Qiao Mai handed the bowl to Chuaner.

"Do you dislike my sister's leftover mouth?"

Chuan'er chuckled, "I don't dislike it, I ate it, and mother will make new ones for my sister later."

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

"The custard is delicious, tender, smooth, really delicious"

As soon as he heard it, he didn't eat it, Qiao Mai felt sad for a while.

The Yuan family hurriedly took over the conversation, "Then father, starting tomorrow, I will give you four steamed bowls every day, okay?"

"Dad doesn't know this, does he?"

"Daddy can learn from your mother?"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Ling'er was very good after eating, so Qiao Mai hugged him to let shopkeeper Lu eat.

In mother's arms, watching everyone eat, see this person smile, see that person smile.

After dinner, shopkeeper Lu looked at Linger, "There should be nothing wrong with her. In such a cold day, I don't need to go to the medical center. I'll go and say hello to the mayor first."

"Sister Lao Lu is here."

"Why are you being polite to me?"

As soon as the tone meant to say goodbye and leave, Chen's mother and son also stood up quickly.

"We went home too."

"Well, if it's inconvenient for you mother and son to be at home, why don't you hum?"

"OK!"

Chen's mother and son left first, and shopkeeper Lu and her people also left. Fengyun and the others began to clear the table.

The Yuan family clapped their hands and took Ling'er, "I'll hold her, you can see what needs to be cleaned up, and let the children do it."

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

She returned to her bedroom with the copper pot in her arms, and threw the pot directly into the space, where she didn't need to clean it at all, and the space was automatically cleaned, just like a new one.

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

She supported Ling'er in front of the window, "Look, it's snowing outside, it's snowing, does it look good?"

"Slightly, slightly, slightly"

Linger laughed like a copper bell, and Yuan Jiaqi smiled when he heard the sound.

Ms. 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 children she adopted.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Linger stayed in Qiao Mai's bedroom the whole time, never going out a step.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about her, she was relieved. At this time, shopkeeper Lu also sent a letter, saying that no children had been lost in the town.

So Qiao Mai asked Yuan Jiaqi to help look after the child first. She wrote down the child's name and date of birth on a piece of paper, and then went to the mayor and asked him to help him register.

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

"If everyone understands the general situation like you and adopts these orphans, then there will be so many beggars in the Ming Dynasty."

"Not necessarily. The good beggars are all captured and sold by human traffickers, and the rest are disabled, lingering on their last legs. This kind of beggars should be helped."

"It's okay to boil when it's warm, but it's better to stay in the ruined temple when it's cold. It's better if the rich give out porridge with kindness. If not, it's hard to say whether we can survive this winter."

"Is there a soup kitchen in our town?"

The mayor gave her a white look, "Why not? The old man is just one!"

"Oh, so the mayor is still a good person?"

"Sigh~, the mayor of this town can only take care of our area. If there are too many, he can't take care of it. There are tens of thousands of beggars in the Ming Dynasty, and our Qian family is not a family where I have the final say."

Qiao Mai naturally understood what he meant, "Mayor, when will my daughter's household registration be completed?"

"Soon, I'll let the guards send you there."

"Thank you, Lord Mayor."

"Remember the annual ceremony."

Qiao Mai rolled his eyes, "Got it!"

Since Linger came out of the space, Qiao Mai hasn't been out of the stall again, and stays at home every day to watch over Linger, and she does embroidery as soon as she sleeps.

The temperature in Tianshui Town is about ten degrees below zero during the day, and about twenty degrees below zero at night, which is really cold.

Ling'er is still young and needs someone to take care of him. Yuan Jiaqi is a man, and it's okay to take care of boys, but for girls, he still has concerns about his mind.

So, she can only stay at home.

A few days ago, she entered the space at night, searched the Internet for web weaving methods, found a few novel ones, learned them, and then taught them to Sister Ruxin.

Unexpectedly, these kinds of nets were very popular, so shopkeeper Lu came to visit her whenever he had nothing to do.

When Linger woke up, she helped Qiao Mai look after the baby and let Qiao Mai do embroidery work.

"Sister?"

"Um?"

"Look, there is still one month to go before Chinese New Year. How can I make the business of my shop more prosperous?"

"What's wrong? Are you in a hurry for money?"

"No, I just want to improve the business and have a Chinese New Year atmosphere."

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

"I didn't do anything, 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 yet, so how can you have a prosperous business? I don't accept custom-made jobs, and I won't accept them whatever you say."

"I know, I know, isn't Ruxin and Ruyi picking up."

"Is Xiuhong and Xiuyu the same material?"

"I'm still studying, it should be okay, I can start embroidery work after the new year."

The two were chatting with nothing to do, and Qiao Mai wanted to give her a dyeing craft, thinking that now is not the time.

Shopkeeper Lu's small family, if he can't keep this skill, it may bring disaster to her.

Dang, Dang, Dang, the courtyard door rang, and Qiao Mai stood up immediately.

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

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

The sound of children reading came from the living room. Listening to this sound, I felt that the whole small courtyard was full of books.

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

"Miss Qiao, your household registration has been completed."

"Thank you, brother guard, now I have a son and a daughter, and I have both sons and daughters."

"congratulations!"

Of course, Qiao Mai would not let him make this trip in vain, so he gave him a piece of silver, and then went back to the house to carry two boxes of pancakes.

"No sugar and melon seeds, just this?"

"Thank you, Mrs. Qiao!"

"Brother Guard, walk slowly!"

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

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

"See if you're happy."

She hugged Linger and put on a cotton hat for her, and went out of the house and went straight to the living room. When the children saw her coming in, they immediately stopped reading.

"Aha, I'm so glad to bother you, Ling'er's household registration is completed, and she will be your biological sister in the future, come and say hello to my sister."

"Sister, sister!"

Qiao Mai knelt down to let Feng'er, Yun'er, Chuan'er, kiss Linger's face, and finally hugged Yuan Jiaqi.

"Come on, Linger, this is Daddy!"
