Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

Chapter 52: I got the money and also picked up two people.

Xiuwen went back, and we followed the routine every day, working hard to make money and improve the quality. Finally, a few days before the weather suddenly changed, all the work was completed. Jiangchuan quickly received the money.

That night, we paid all the wages to everyone. After receiving the money, Zhang and his friends were very happy. They repeatedly said that if there was anything to do in the future, they could be called anytime. I agreed and sent them back happily.

Dazhu and a dozen people from the village decided to stay for another day and go to the provincial capital to take a look. If they came across anything they liked, they would bring some back home.

I didn't refuse and followed them to the street. We agreed to wait for them at the intersection with the big willow trees when we returned. We went in groups of three or four to buy what we wanted.

Mrs. He and Brother He decided to buy some beautiful dresses for their two precious daughters. They asked me if I wanted to go with them. I thought about it and refused.

It has been almost a year since I came to ancient times, and I haven't had a single day of relaxation.

I walked along the street, stopping here and there. I bought a piece of clothing for Dabao and Xiaobao, and a set for myself. I carried them in my hand, and I didn't plan to buy anything else. It was too far to buy them, and it was too troublesome to carry them.

I was tired from walking and saw a steamed bun shop on the roadside. I suddenly thought of Xiaobao who loved to eat steamed buns. He must have missed me after being out for so long. I couldn't help but walk in and buy a few meat buns.

I continued to walk slowly and unknowingly, and came to a small river. There was a big bluestone under the weeping willow. I sat down because I was tired. I took out the big meat bun and took a bite. Hmm, it was very fragrant. It was not like the modern feed pigs. This was raised in the original ecology. The strong meaty aroma made me eat a few more bites.

"Gulp, gulp," I held my stomach and felt embarrassed. Am I really that hungry? I was so hungry that my stomach was growling.

I shook my head and took a few more bites.

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle" I touched my stomach, hey, it doesn't seem to be my stomach growling! I slowly turned my head back.

Behind the big bluestone, two people were lying half-lying, one big and one small, a woman and a little boy. They were dirty and very thin. Looking at my meat buns, the little boy swallowed his saliva. His stomach started to growl again. The rich man looked at it weakly and closed his eyes again.

I silently took out two more buns and handed them to the little boy. Do you want to eat?

The little boy wanted to reach out his hand, then looked at the woman and asked me: "I can't eat your buns for free, do you need someone to do something for you? I can help you with the work."

I was stunned: "What can you do? Who is he to you?"

Little boy: "She is my mother. I can do anything and endure any hardship."

I thought about how I was probably not as good as this woman when I first came here! Without saying anything, I took the little boy's hand, wiped it, and put the bun in his hand.

"Eat it. Eat the buns first, and then tell me what you can do. Okay?"

The little boy lowered his head, tears falling from his eyes. He tore off a piece of the bun and put it into the woman's mouth: "Mom, eat something first. Don't sleep. Eat something first."

I ran to the tea stand opposite, spent a penny to buy a bowl of herbal tea, put it on the big bluestone, and said to the little boy, "Give your mother some water first, and then give him some buns."

The little boy thanked her and carefully put the water in the bowl to the woman's mouth. The woman struggled to drink a few sips and shared the water with the little boy and the two buns.

He must have been hungry for too long, so after eating something, he quickly regained some energy. He slowly stood up and leaned over to thank me.

I sigh at how many rituals the ancients had!

He casually put the two remaining buns in his hand into the little boy's hand.

I picked up the clothes I bought and prepared to go back.

As I was walking, I felt something was wrong. I looked back and saw the woman and the little boy following me. I didn't say anything and continued walking forward.

After walking for a while, they were still following me. I was a little confused: "Where are you going?"

Little boy: "Ma'am, I ate your buns and said I would help you. We will follow you again."

Caw, cackle, two crows flew across the sky.

Me: "No need, I just gave you a few buns, you are helping me. Go home."

Little boy: "But ma'am, we have nowhere to go. We have no home."

I turned around and said to them seriously, "I'm not a lady, and our family is very small. We can't afford to hire anyone!"

Little boy: "Woo woo woo,"

Woman: "Madam, we really have nowhere to go. Can you please take us in for a while? We can do anything. Even just one meal a day is fine."

Thinking about the opening of my hot and sour noodle shop, I wonder if I can handle it alone or not. It would be nice to have someone to help.

Me: "Where are you from? Why are you following me?"

The woman said: "My name is Liu Niang, and this is my son Chu Liang. He came from the north and wanted to come here to live with his relatives, but he didn't expect that they had all moved away and his travel expenses were all gone. If it weren't for Madam's kindness today, we would have starved to death. Please give us a meal."

After saying this, Liu Niang was already panting and looked like she could hardly hold on any longer.

I saw a porridge shop nearby, so I got two more bowls of porridge, helped Liu Niang sit down, and pushed the porridge in front of her and the little boy, saying, "Take a rest and then eat the porridge slowly."

With tears in her eyes, Liu Niang drank the porridge slowly with the little boy.

Me: "You can come with me. I'll find you a place to live for a month. If you want to leave during this month, you can leave anytime." After this month, if you still want to stay, we'll talk about it then.

Liu Niang nodded, "Thank you, ma'am?"

When we got to the street, I took Liu Niang and the little boy to see a doctor. The doctor said they were just too hungry and would be fine after some rest.

I bought a large bag of buns and pastries, and two sets of coarse cotton clothes. I rented a car and took Liu Niang and Chu Liang back to where I lived. I took out the clothes and asked them to go wash up. Their clothes were no longer the original color and were too thin. Since I was willing to take them back, I couldn't let them catch a cold. Coarse cotton clothes. I can still afford them now, so I don't want to be stingy.

Liu Niang and Chu Liang changed their clothes. They had fair skin and were wearing coarse cotton clothes. They didn't look like people from poor families.

I don't want to ask about their past anymore. Knowing more is not necessarily a good thing. I put the buns and snacks on the table and told them that they can eat if they are hungry. If they want to rest, Liu Niang will sleep in the same room with me, and Chu Liang will go and squeeze in with them.

I hope I can bring two people back so Xiuwen and Xiaobao won’t be surprised.
