Chapter 993: Generous
When picking up the baby, Zhang Ruyi took a special look around. There was no one in the alley, not even a shadow.
After the loud knocking on the door, she opened the door about half a quarter later. At that time, if someone sent the child off, she would have run away long ago if she had enough time.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Ruyi couldn't take the baby out to find someone, so she had to go back to her room and stayed up all night.
"Haitang, you said it's been a few days and you still haven't seen anyone, what do you mean?"
It was the first time Zhang Ruyi encountered such a thing, so she was not sure what the other party meant.
She still doesn't dare to go out easily, because she is afraid that the other party will find her and there will be no one at home.
"Look at the quilt that wraps Xiaowa. There are several patches. It should not be from a rich family."
Li Haitang touched the quilt and found that there was no interlayer inside, and there was nothing to prove Xiaowa's identity.
In ordinary families, the male inherits the incense, and will be the pillar of the family in the future. Unless the life is difficult, or the parents die, and the clan members are unwilling to take over and raise them, they will be sold to others.
Such a small baby is weak and sickly, and there is no way to collect human teeth.
These basic rules, Mrs. Jing said, as a human being, she is considered conscientious, and Li Haitang remembers these basic rules occasionally.
The other party should have observed this area for a long time before giving the child to Zhang Ruyi.
On the one hand, there are not many wealthy families living near Songhe Academy, but in terms of family background, they are somewhat better than ordinary people.
Zhang Ruyi takes the little five sons with him, can send the little five sons to study, and lives alone in a relatively large house, so he is a good candidate for supporting the orphans.
"You mean, I'm being targeted?"
Zhang Ruyi pointed at the tip of her nose, in disbelief, without asking her if she was willing, was she forced to become a mother?
Last year, she still felt that she was just as innocent as before leaving the cabinet. This year, she can adapt to the role of mother. This growth made her feel mixed.
What Li Haitang said made sense, the other party must be a poor family, and wanted to find a good way out for her son, follow her, at least have no worries about food and clothing, but she already had five young children, and she didn't want others to share this maternal love.
"How about this, Xiaowa, you have to watch it for two days, it happens that Liusu is going to set up a charity hall."
The yards in the capital city are too expensive, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the cost of living are high. It is best to build a charity hall in the nearby countryside, such as a large house.
At least he can be self-sufficient in farming, harvesting, and food, and save a fortune. The rest of the clothing and other expenses will be jointly paid by Li Haitang, Liusu and others.
In this way, it is quite reasonable.
To raise a child, one must also develop skills, and not develop the bad habit of eating and waiting to die.
"never mind."
Zhang Ruyi said feebly, since the other party came to her, it could be regarded as fate, and her life would not be certain in the future, with her son by her side, she was not alone, she found something for herself to do.
This little baby still doesn't remember anything, so he will kiss him at the raising meeting.
"He doesn't have a name yet, so I'll give him a name."
Zhang Ruyi thought for a long time, and asked the fifth son, "What's your name for this younger brother?"
"Mother, is it a nickname?"
The first name of the fifth son is Ruan Anning, but he himself likes the nickname, which is kind.
The younger brother's nickname is very simple, he is Xiao Wuzi, and the younger brother is called Xiao Liu, which is reasonable.
"Okay, then call me Xiaoliu!"
Satisfied, Zhang Ruyi turned her head and apologized to Li Haitang, "Because of Xiaoliu, the family is very busy. I am not prepared for Doubao's birthday. Also, I am in a situation today, I am afraid I will not be able to go."
On the Shangsi Festival, the family helper came early to ask for leave, saying that he was going to see Xiao Taohong on the street, and only she and Xiao Wuzi were left at home.
Boiling medicine, feeding medicine, cooking porridge, can only be busy.
"Haitang, you said last time that you have a nice man, can you introduce me, I want to buy a woman."
The helpers at home can only do some odd jobs, they are not their own servants, and they don't have a contract of sale, so they always feel that they are not so reliable.
If you meet someone with a broken mouth, it is a taboo to talk about the secrets of the master's house outside.
Zhang Ruyi had just moved in and didn't know her neighbors well, so why was she being targeted? She suspected it had something to do with the helper she hired.
"Buy one with quick hands and feet, one person is not enough, and then buy a little girl."
Li Haitang agrees, Xiaoliu, who was not picked up before, has little work at home and enough helpers. After all, the mother and son rarely start fires, and it is enough to go to the restaurant to eat.
Coming out of the yard, Li Haitang got into the carriage and waited for Wufu to inform Xiangli.
Anyway, there is also a little affection, although Li Haitang is a little estranged from Xiangli in his heart, but when he goes out, he knows a total of a few people, and there are not many acquaintances, so he has to do his due courtesy.
After a while, Wufu returned alone, wondering, "Xiangli is so strange, I look like a thief."
Wufu can't figure it out, is she and Xiangli not worried? She just mentioned that when she saw Xiangli and Escort Peng talking on the street, Xiangli's expression immediately changed.
"Then what did she say?"
Li Haitang speculates that Xiangli may have affection for Escort Peng, and is afraid that Wufu will hinder him.
"I didn't say anything."
Wufu took out a red purse and handed it to Li Haitang. It was Xiangli's birthday present for Doubao. She would not go to drink, she was not used to the crowd, and she couldn't let it go.
Li Haitang took it and took it apart, and found that it was a pair of golden anklets with exquisite workmanship.
Doubao is only two years old, so it's not suitable for her to make a fuss. If she hadn't earned a few tables at Wang's, she wouldn't be able to entertain guests.
This meal is worth a thousand taels of silver, who wouldn't feel bad for it!
After receiving the bean buns, a group of people came to Taibai Tower.
Mrs. Wang had already prepared the dinner, because Li Haitang and his party came to visit, so she went out to entertain them.
Fang Shaoyao dragged her family along, and was shocked when she heard that the proprietress was receiving her.
Taibailou is famous in Kyoto, but it is expensive. This meal is definitely enough for ordinary small households to live for a lifetime. She opened her mouth and ate up the food expenses of her whole life.
If it's her sugar bun's birthday, she will definitely be reluctant.
Ever since she felt that her daughter was not easy to marry, Fang Shaoyao consciously saved money, in case she met a satisfactory one in the future and the other party refused to agree, she could only throw money away!
Money can turn ghosts around, I don't believe it can be done!
If it can't be done, it can only explain one problem, the other party is richer than her!
The servants of the shop were entertained by Mo Ruhai, the shopkeeper, and sat outside, while Li Haitang, Fang Shaoyao, Lin Wan, etc. were all arranged in the private room.
On Doubao's birthday, everyone invited gave gifts. The soup dumpling gave Doubao a writing brush, and the sugar bun was not far behind. They gave a wooden windmill music box.
The music box is not something out of the sea, but imitated by Daqi craftsmen. There is a string behind the small house. After tightening, the windmill will rotate, and it will make a musical sound like spring water.
Music boxes are rare, and they are not so easy to buy. Fang Shaoyao went to many shops before finding one. Tangbao likes it very much, she won't let go of it, and she wants to sleep in it, but when she heard that it was going to be a gift for the bean bag, she took the initiative to present the music box, which was very generous.
