When the three of them returned to An Rong's home again, Li Guihua had already bathed Xiaoshu.
The washed little guy is much fairer, and his originally big black eyes now look even brighter.
He was wearing an oversized piece of clothing, which probably belonged to Xiao Liuzi.
The sleeves are rolled up and the clothes cover the buttocks.
But this did not delay the cheerful smile of the child Xiaoshu.
Perhaps because he truly felt that the people in this family were kind to him, Xiaoshu was obviously no longer as uneasy as before.
Children are actually the easiest to adapt to life.
Su Xiaotian looked at the two children who were playing with mud tops together and couldn't help but sigh.
The age difference between the two children is only one year, and Xiao Liuzi is not a particularly strong child.
Even so, Xiaoshu is much smaller than Xiaoliuzi.
It can be seen that this child's life has been very bad in the past few years, and I don't know if it can be made up for in the future.
"Teacher Shen, why are you here?"
When An Rongxue saw Shen Zizhen and several others, he couldn't help but asked in surprise.
He had just sent these people away a short while ago.
"Rongxue, I came here because I want to discuss something with you." Shen Zizhen was still very embarrassed when she said this.
Letting others help raise a child, even though the child is not your own, is embarrassing enough.
"Teacher Shen, if you have any questions, just ask me. I will definitely help you if I can!"
He saved the lives of two members of his family. How could he shirk his help from him for a small matter?
At this time, An Rongxue had not thought that Shen Zizhen would let him raise Xiaoshu first.
Li Guihua, on the other hand, subconsciously felt that this matter was not simple after hearing Shen Zizhen's words.
It is certainly not a small matter for Teacher Shen to say these words solemnly.
Li Guihua looked at Xiaoshu, and she felt that this was what Teacher Shen was going to say.
She wanted to step forward and say that she was unwilling to adopt someone else's child, but she felt that she couldn't say it.
Su Xiaotian walked up to Li Guihua and said with a smile: "Auntie, I also have something I want to ask for your help with."
Li Guihua was stunned, what is going on?
Are everyone coming to your door asking for help?
But she didn't dare to forget Su Xiaotian's kindness at all, so she smiled hurriedly.
"You are a young gentleman in our village. If you have anything to do, you can just say it directly, and you don't have to say whether you want it or not!"
"Auntie, I have a piece of cloth here. I don't know how to make clothes. I would like to ask you to help me make clothes for this child Xiaoshu."
After hearing this, Li Guihua breathed a sigh of relief and helped to make clothes. It was an easy task, so she laughed.
"I know how to make clothes. I happen to have a sewing machine at home, so I can make it in a short time. I will make sure that the clothes are made solid for the child Xiaoshu."
Su Xiaotian didn't expect that Li Guihua had a sewing machine at home. It was much faster to use a sewing machine than to sew by hand.
"These are a pair of trousers that belong to my third brother. Let's take them apart to make clothes for Xiao Shu. I think the clothes he is wearing can't even be repaired. There must be a change of clothes."
Li Guihua looked at the small tree and pointed at two tattered clothes hanging on the bamboo poles in the yard.
"That's not what you are talking about. I just washed those clothes. After washing, they were almost like rags. No, there is no way. Let him put on Xiao Liuzi's clothes first."
Su Xiaotian can feel that Li Guihua is a kind woman.
However, all kindness is actually worthless in the face of reality.
You can never mistreat your own children just for the sake of kindness.
Li Guihua can do this, which is actually quite good.
Xiaoshu, this kid, has a bad life. When he meets a relative like that, he just wants to seize the family property, but doesn't want to give him a bowl of rice.
If it hadn't been for meeting the An family this time, Xiaoshu, this kid, I really don't dare to think how long he would have lived.
They will leave in one more day, and before leaving, Xiaoshu's affairs must be arranged.
"Auntie, there is one more thing I want to tell you."
Li Guihua thought that the little girl would be fine, so she smiled and asked her to talk.
"This kid, Xiaoshu, doesn't have anywhere to go yet. I want to put some money here for you and ask you to help take care of Xiaoshu for a while."
Li Guihua was actually worried that Su Xiaotian said she would adopt Xiaoshu, but now that Su Xiaotian said she would take care of him temporarily, that meant she was not allowed to adopt him.
But how long is a period of care?
Li Guihua had to make a calculation. It would take too long and her family could not bear it.
The food conditions have improved a bit in the past two years, but if there are more people to eat for a long time, even children will have a hard time.
But if she refused, Li Guihua didn't know what to say.
Just when Li Guihua was thinking hard about how to deal with this matter, Su Xiaotian took out two large unity cards from her pocket.
"Auntie, I won't let you look at the little tree in vain."
She spoke, took out two big unity sheets and put them in Li Guihua's hand.
When Li Guihua came to her senses, she saw two big unity pieces lying in her palm.
She suddenly felt guilty.
"Little sir, I can't accept your money. Even if you take care of the child for a few days, it's not a big deal. If you accept the money, who will I be?" Li Guihua declined in a hurry.
"Auntie, taking care of children is hard work. What's more, the children need to eat and drink. How can we do it without charging money?"
Li Guihua actually felt that Su Xiaotian and Xiaoshu were not related to each other, so she was embarrassed to ask Su Xiaotian to give her money to raise the child.
In particular, Su Xiaotian is also a little girl who has not grown up. If she takes out so much money at one time, she must have given all the money she has to herself.
"How about you give me five yuan? It will be considered as food money for this child."
The price of rice is only 178 cents per kilogram. Five yuan can buy twenty or thirty kilograms of rice. If you save some money, it will be enough for a child of this size to eat for two months.
Su Xiaotian smiled and said: "Auntie, please accept it. It is still difficult to solve the problem of Xiaoshu. I'm afraid it will bother you for a lot of time."
"It's just a matter of adding an extra handful of rice when cooking."
Li Guihua said it easily, but how could Su Xiaotian not know that this was not just a matter of adding a handful of rice.
If only it were that easy to raise a child.
"Auntie, please accept this child first. I can't tell you what to do with this child at the moment. I can't thank you enough for not hating me for causing trouble for you."
She is about to go back, and it is not certain how long the child will stay in Anjia.
She also thought that when she got to the capital, she would send money to Anjia on a monthly basis.
In the end, Li Guihua still accepted twenty yuan.
As long as the child is not raised in vain and a little more thought is put into it, Li Guihua is also willing.
"Little sir, I shouldn't have received this money, but as you can see in our family, the old, the young, and the sick are weak. Although after the household guarantee system, the whole family can barely have enough to eat, but we need more food.
