While several people were talking, Xiao Liuzi had already walked in with a dirty child.
The child is said to be dirty just because his clothes have no good spot, they are in tatters and have a lot of mud on them.
When seeing so many adults in the yard, the children lowered their heads and rubbed the corners of their clothes, not even daring to say a word.
The adults in the yard obviously didn't expect that Xiao Liuzi would walk in with a strange child.
No matter how you look at this child, he looks like a beggar.
They were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"Xiao Liu, this is..." After a while, An Rongxue finally found his voice and asked.
He didn't know this child, he was definitely not a child from the village.
Since he is not a child from the village, how did he meet Xiaoliu?
An Rongxue felt that this child should be a little beggar.
How did a little beggar come to them?
"Grandma, uncle, aunt, sister, this is a little tree, and it is my good friend."
Xiaoliu didn't know what the adults were thinking, but solemnly introduced his good friends to everyone.
The happiness and joy in those eyes cannot be ignored by anyone.
Obviously, Xiaoliu really likes this friend.
At this time, Li Guihua asked in surprise: "Isn't this a child from Nanhe Village in the next town? Why did she come to us?"
Li Guihua's natal family is from the next town, not far from the Nanhe Village she mentioned.
Su Xiaotian sounded curious. Although she had not been in this place for a long time, she also knew that the distance between the neighboring towns was not too close.
Why did a little kid come here so dirty?
An Rongxue looked at his wife: "Do you know this child?"
"I know him. He's from Nanhe Village. He's a poor boy. He lost his father two years ago and his mother last year. He lives with his grandma and somehow ended up here with us."
Li Guihua looked at the child as she spoke. Seeing that the child was extremely dirty, she couldn't help but said: "Come, aunt will take you to wash your hands and face first."
Hearing what Li Guihua said, Su Xiaotian couldn't help but appreciate this woman a little more.
She is indeed a good woman who can feel sorry for other people's children.
Little did Su Xiaotian know that Li Guihua also suffered a lot before marrying An Rongxue, and even lost her own child.
For this reason, she naturally likes children even more.
The child was obviously very embarrassed and did not dare to follow Li Guihua.
Xiao Liuzi took his hand and said, "Let's go wash together."
Xiao Shu did not follow Xiao Liuzi, but took a step back, as if he was scared.
"Xiao Shu, don't be afraid. My uncle and aunt are both good people. They are very good to children and will not beat you."
This sentence made the adults around me feel something.
"Auntie doesn't want to hit anyone, she just wants to clean you up. Let's have dinner later."
When Li Guihua said this, Xiaoshu's stomach rumbled as if in response.
Obviously, this kid is really hungry.
"Xiao Liu, take Xiao Shu to wash your hands and face. I still have the buns I made in the morning. You can get two for Xiao Shu first."
Li Guihua saw that Xiaoshu obviously rejected her, so she asked Xiaoliu to greet her friends.
Xiaoshu finally raised his head when he heard that Xiaoliu was only allowed to accompany him and that he would also be given steamed buns to eat.
He is a child with pretty features, but his face is also dirty, but his smart eyes still make people like him a little more.
Xiaoliu happily took Xiaoshu to wash up.
Li Guihua sighed and said: "I heard a few days ago that this child's grandma is gone and he has become an orphan. How pitiful!"
"Does he have no other relatives?" Su Xiaotian couldn't help but ask.
Even if your parents are gone and your grandma is gone, you should still have some relatives, right?
Why have you wandered so far?
He looks like he is only five or six years old, so wandering like this may not be a long-term solution.
"There should be some. Their village is next to ours. I don't know much about it, but it seems that there is an uncle and an uncle."
There is an uncle, but he still wanders here, so others can't help but think more about it.
"Even my uncle wouldn't want to raise this child." An Rongxue's mother sighed at this time.
Two years ago, he lost his father, then his mother, and now he even loses his grandma. Everyone would think that this kind of child is destined to have a hard life and to deny family ties.
When Grandma An said this, everyone seemed to have thought of this issue.
Yes, no one is willing to raise a child who has the reputation of being a strict parent.
Grandma An only felt distressed.
Her son had also suffered from such a bad reputation. If Su Xiaotian hadn't taken action to save his daughter-in-law and grandson this time, his son would probably have no way out in his life.
An Rongxue naturally understood the meaning of his mother's words.
He thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I'll go back and find out what's going on with this child. Do you think it's OK for this child to live in our home for a few days?"
He felt a little more sympathetic towards this child who, like him, had the same reputation of being a family-restraint.
Grandma An sighed, but did not reply. Instead, she looked at Li Guihua.
Li Guihua understood what her mother-in-law meant and said with a smile: "Mom, I have no objection."
Her husband has a reputation of being a stoic, so why not her?
In this case, why worry about raising this child for a few days and killing everyone in the family?
Su Xiaotian, Shen Zizhen and others looked on. At this time, they were also moved by the generosity and kindness of the An Rongxue family.
For ordinary people, it is not difficult to give two steamed buns and one flower roll as relief, but it is really not easy to think of children in this way.
"Why don't you go and find out now? It would be faster to borrow a bicycle from the village chief's house." Grandma An was obviously more anxious than her son.
An Rongxue looked at Shen Zizhen and the others. They had invited people over for dinner, but he went out by himself. He was really embarrassed.
"If it's not far, you might as well go and find out now. I'll go with you to have a look." Shen Zizhen said with a smile.
There is still some time before meal time, so it would be good if we could find out more about the child during this time.
"Teacher Shen, why don't you go? The road is not easy to walk on," An Rongxue said hurriedly.
"Speaking of which, I've been here several times, and I've never been anywhere else except your village. I just want to take a walk today, so we can eat later."
This child has no father or mother. He wants to know what is going on with this child before he leaves.
Therefore, I came up with the idea of going out and taking a look.
When Su Xiaotian saw Shen Zizhen like this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Uncle Shen didn't have children himself, but he actually liked children very much, right?
