Chapter 63

Waking up in the morning, the side is empty again. If it was normal, someone beside him would definitely know when he got up. But now that she is pregnant, she sleeps a little dead.

Someone outside heard the movement and walked in. Mother Qu brought over the warm clothes and said, "Ma'am, it snowed heavily last night, and now it's a vast expanse of whiteness outside." When it snows, it means the ground is very slippery, so Yuxi, a big belly woman, should not go out.

Yu Xi naturally heard the implication, put on her clothes and washed, and then walked out of the room. As soon as I got out of the house, the cold wind blew on my face, like a knife was cutting.

Mother Qu said: "Madam, it's very slippery outside, you can't go out!" This is not a joke, if the child slips and falls, the child may not be able to keep it.

Yuxi said with a smile: "In your eyes, am I just such a person who has no importance? I just want to come out to see the snow." See how the snow in the northwest is different from that in the capital.

Mother Qu cursed in her heart, if you knew the seriousness, you could go to the school with such a big belly, how many people would there be in the school? What to do if someone hits you. It's just that she slandered in her heart, and didn't dare to say it.

The ground of the yard, the trees, and the roof are all covered with a layer of white paper. Long icicles hung like crystal daggers in front of the eaves, and even the breath exhaled from his face turned into puffs of white smoke.

Yuxi smiled and said: "The snow is quite heavy. I remember that when it snowed in the capital, the third sister would go to the garden to collect the snow water from the plum blossoms. I don't know if the third sister still keeps it. This habit." Yuxi felt that time passed so quickly, and in a blink of an eye they were all married and would also be mothers.

Zijin came over with a shovel and said to Yuxi: "Madam, let me make you a snowman to play with!" Yuxi can't do it, she can do it!

Mother Qu wanted to raise her forehead: "How old are you? Do you still make snowmen?" This snowman is something only children can play with. Zijin is seventeen years old, and she still plays such a childish game.

Yu Xi smiled and said: "When you have time to build a snowman, you might as well go to the school to see those children. With these heavy snow, many children may not be able to go to school."

Zijin said: "Ma'am, what do you mean?"

Yuxi said: "Two days ago, Hao Dazhuang said that there were more than 40 sets of cotton clothes and trousers that were not ready, and he would send them out after two days. The child probably couldn't stand the heavy snow today. Send out the finished clothes."

Zijin replied: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Yuxi nodded, and said: "Let the kitchen make another pot of ginger soup for the children who are cold. In addition, we must keep warm and ensure safety." It's a pity that she can't go in person, otherwise she can Arranged personally.

Mother Qu said: "Madam is truly a bodhisattva." Starting a school is much more difficult than donating rice.

Yuxi deserves this praise: "Since you have done it, you must do it well. Moreover, this is also to accumulate merit for yourself."

In fact, Yu Xi was wrong, none of the children in the school was late this day, they all arrived at the school on time as usual, and then went to class after breakfast. There is no warm pit at home, no charcoal stove and no food, so how could I not come to school!

Zijin went to the school, and after conveying Yuxi's intentions, she said, "Madam also loves these children, Manager Hao, when do you think it's better to distribute cotton clothes to the children?"

Hao Dazhuang was not in any trouble, and said, "That's okay. Now that the weather is so cold, it's really hard for these children to run back and forth every day. If they have warm clothes to wear, they won't catch the cold."

When the cotton clothes and trousers were sent out, many children were reluctant to wear them with their arms around them. These cotton clothes and trousers are made of fine cloth, and they are stuffed with this year's new cotton, which is pressed very thickly. Wear it on your body, it's warm.

Putting on new clothes, all the children are smiling. It's the first time I've worn such nice and warm clothes since I grew up so big. Of course, there is also Class A, that is, the children of the oldest class, who are quite disappointed. Because they don't have new cotton trousers to wear, they have to wait for two days. However, these children were very sensible, and they were not dissatisfied with it. Instead, they helped the youngest child put on new clothes.

Zijin looked at the smiling faces of these children, feeling heavy in her heart. It's just a new set of clothes that makes these children smile so brightly. This shows how difficult life is at home.

Zijin was about to leave, when she saw several people bringing four pieces of meat, she walked over and asked, "Who sent this?" Because the school only accepts things and doesn't charge money, so occasionally people would send things over. It's occasional, because people who are close to the Qin family will not give it away in order to avoid suspicion. Therefore, this is the first time to give away four pieces of meat.

The leader said: "My eldest girl sent someone to deliver it." It was Fu Qingluo who delivered the meat. Fu Qingluo killed two pigs and sent them over. The two pigs must have more than 170 catties of meat.

Zijin asked Hao Dazhuang who came out: "What are you going to do with this meat?"

Hao Dazhuang said: "This amount of meat is enough for half a month." This means eating some every day. In this cold weather, it is not afraid of damage.

Zijin held a different opinion: "I think, let's make a dish of braised pork today and let these children have a good time eating it!" One or two pieces is not very interesting, and it takes a whole night to eat it.

On this day, the three hundred children in Qingfengtang wore new clothes, ate big meat buns, stewed radishes with braised pork, and drank a bowl of egg broth after they were done. Of course, this day has also become a good memory for this group of children.

Seeing a child crying while eating meat, Zijin stepped forward and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Is the meat delicious?"

The child shook his head and said, "No, the meat is delicious." The discipline in the school is very strict, no looting, no fighting, or not only corporal punishment but also no eating. This corporal punishment is a trivial matter, but lack of food is a major matter.

Zijin was puzzled, and asked, "It's delicious, why are you crying?"

The child wiped his tears and said, "I can only eat such a big bowl of meat. Neither my mother nor my younger brother can eat it."

After hearing this, Zijin panicked, rubbed the child's head, and said, "Your mother will be very happy to know that you have such filial piety." Zijin couldn't tell the child to take the meat back of. Because at the beginning of school, it happened that the child saved food and took steamed buns home to feed the family [UU Reading 00kxs], but the child fainted in class due to hunger. Afterwards, the school promulgated a rule that food must be eaten in the school and not allowed to be taken out.

After returning home, Zi Jin told Yu Xi about the incident, and said after speaking: "I was in tears at that time." Her situation back then was actually similar to that of the children in the school. There are many things to do without enough food and warm clothes every day. That's why she felt that she had fallen into a nest of blessings after she got to Madam's side.

Yu Xi nodded, and said: "Yes! The people here have a very hard life." Seeing her felt sour. The soldiers defended their families and defended the country, but after their deaths, their wives and children could not be found, and their lives were extremely difficult. Many people don't see Hun Xing all year round.

Zijin said: "Madam, I want to send some meat, vegetables and rice noodles to these children's homes during the Chinese New Year." Zijin meant that she would pay for the money. Over the years, Zijin has saved all her monthly records, and she also has a sum of money on hand.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "It's not appropriate. These children have already lightened their families a lot by going to school. If you send things to their families, others will feel uncomfortable. That's not good." And send Too much will also make these people dependent, which is not a good thing.

Violet lowered her head.

Yuxi sighed and didn't speak again. Sometimes, being kind doesn’t mean you can do good deeds. There are too many things to worry about: “Don’t think so much. It is a great comfort to their parents that these children can eat and clothe themselves in school. "These children were able to eat enough every day in Qingfengtang, and after half a day of exercise, all the children's complexions improved. Not only did they grow flesh, most of them also started to grow.

At noon, Yu Xi was pacing in the room to digest food when she heard Han Ji coming. Hao Dazhuang is only in charge of this school now, only one school is enough for him to be busy, Zhuangzi and the winery are all taken over by Han Ji.

Yuxi said: "Please invite Manager Han to come in." It must be something good for Han Ji to come here at this time. "

Han Ji did have good news to tell Yuxi: "Madam, the Duke and the old lady have delivered something." Han Ji has been watching this matter, so he will know as soon as the deliverer from the Duke's Mansion enters Yucheng .

Yuxi was a little ashamed, she didn't send anything back to Beijing to honor her mother, and her mother gave her something. Seeing Han Gao who delivered the things, after receiving a stack of letters, he said: "It's really difficult for you in such a cold day. Go eat first and take a rest." Yuxi also knew that the group did not eat lunch, although there was a You have to ask if you have a stomach, but you have to let someone fill you up first.

Han Gao said: "Ma'am, the old lady even asked the little one to bring a message..."

Yu Xi smiled and said: "Now that we're all at the mansion, there's no rush for a while, go to dinner first, and we'll talk after dinner."

Han Gao originally had a lot to say, but after hearing Yu Xi's words, he saluted and went down. When I arrived at the General's Mansion, I was already safe, and it was indeed not too late.

Yuxi burst into tears when she saw the letter Qiu wrote to her. In fact, Qiu didn't write anything, just told her to have a good pregnancy, don't miss her, everything is fine at home, and then said a lot of things that should be paid attention to during pregnancy, telling her to ask mother Xi if she doesn't understand. After watching it, it makes people feel very kind.

Mother Qu handed over the handkerchief and said, "Madam, don't be sad. I heard from Mother Xi that crying right is not good for the child."

After hearing this, Yu Xi immediately stopped crying.

Zijin walked over excitedly and said, "Madam, the old lady has sent more than twenty boxes!" There are so many good things, enough for my wife.

After hearing this, Yuxi said, "I'm lucky this time, everything has arrived." Otherwise, those horse thieves and bandits would have to be taken advantage of again. However, Yuxi felt that it was still necessary to write a letter to Qiu Shi, telling her not to send so much next time, because the road was too dangerous.
