How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

After dinner, Dong Xiaohuan boiled some water and wanted to give Xia Chu a bath herself, but Xia Chu refused, thinking it was too awkward.

She even cleaned up a room and prepared a set of clothes, but unfortunately, they were for boys. "Wear them first. I'll take you shopping for little girls' clothes tomorrow. When your head injury heals, I'll give you a pretty bun, okay?"

Xia Chu nodded, looking at the brand new bed and clothes, feeling incredibly touched. Even though they weren't sure if she would agree, they had already prepared all these things in advance. The clothes fit her perfectly, so even if she didn't agree, they would probably still be given to her.

"Do you like it? The clothes, sheets, and pillows were all made by me." Dong Xiaohuan touched her hair, which was fine and soft. The only flaw was that it was yellow and dry.

"I like it very much, and the food is delicious too. I like them all." Xia Chu reached out and touched the tiger ears on the small pillow. They were furry and soft and felt very good.

Dong Xiaohuan was dissatisfied when she saw the tiger ears. "If I had known it was a girl, I should have sewn rabbit ears on. But it's okay, it can be altered quickly. Do you like rabbit ears?"

Xia Chu turned around and said, "I like tiger ears too."

Dong Xiaohuan squatted down and stared into her eyes. "Tell me anything you like."

Xia Chu was infected by the love in her eyes, hugged her neck and whispered, "Thank you, mother."

She thought it would be difficult to say this word, but it came out easily at this moment.

Dong Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment, then uttered an "Ah" with tears in her eyes.

As far as Xia Chu could remember, she had never been patted on the back and lulled to sleep by someone singing a song. This feeling made her hair stand on end, even though she was almost 30 years old. But this unknown tune brought a sense of peace to her mind, and with the warm palm on her back, she slowly closed her eyes.

After Wang Yong finished washing up, he waited for a long time before he saw his wife come back. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous, "You didn't sleep next to your precious daughter?"

Dong Xiaohuan was both angry and amused, punching him twice, "Are you okay? You're such a grown-up, but you're jealous of your daughter."

Wang Yong knew his wife was particularly happy today, so he teased her, "I've fallen out of favor, and you can't say a few sarcastic words?"

"That's enough. It's not over yet." Dong Xiaohuan wiped away the tears of laughter, lay on the bed and rolled into the man's arms. "She just called me mom. Brother Yong, I'm so happy today."

Wang Yong hugged his wife and kissed her forehead. "I know. I hope you will be this happy every day."

"Brother Yong, thank you." Dong Xiaohuan said, her throat choking with sobs.

"If you don't like this, try something else."

"Hey, what are you doing? Shouldn't you go to bed early? I'll get up early tomorrow to make breakfast for my daughter."

……

Xia Chu opened her eyes as the sound of water echoed in the yard. The bed, filled with the scent of sunshine, was warm and pleasant. She turned over and buried her face in the quilt, rubbing it against her, before reluctantly getting up.

Aunt Wang, oh no, now it's her mother. The clothes her mother made were short jackets and bell-bottom pants. They didn't get in the way at all and were very comfortable. The inner garment should be made of cotton, and the outer garment of linen, but it wouldn't cut through the skin.

When I opened the door, I saw my mother and father washing up side by side. Happiness was embodied at this moment. This is what it looks like to marry for love.

Wang Yong saw her first and greeted her with a smile, "Are you awake, little girl?"

Dong Xiaohuan smiled and said, "Xiaochu, you woke up so early?"

"Mom, good morning." Xia Chu walked behind Dong Xiaohuan.

"Be good, mom will pour you some water." Dong Xiaohuan shook the water off her hands and left happily.

Xia Chu was about to catch up when she found Wang Yong staring at her intently. She scratched her face, a little embarrassed, and said, "Good morning, Dad."

"Hey! My dear girl!" Wang Yong grinned, "Dad will buy you something delicious after work."

Breakfast consisted of spring rolls, bean sprouts, shredded carrots, and shredded eggs, all wrapped in pancakes. It was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating it.

I didn’t notice Xia Chu’s dinner yesterday, but when I saw the basket of pancakes and the big pot of vegetables today, I thought I would have the same for lunch.

She had just finished the first one when she realized she had only eaten half of it. She looked up and saw Wang Yong finishing a burrito in two bites, then slowly opened his mouth.

Dong Xiaohuan laughed out loud, "Are you scared? Your dad has a big appetite and eats a lot."

Wang Yong didn't care. "As a man, eating this little bit is nothing. Girl, you should eat more too, so you can have more strength."

Dong Xiaohuan said angrily, "Why do you need so much strength? You're not going to kill the tiger."

"You don't understand." Wang Yong took a few bites and finished two more pancakes.

"Dad, it must be hard for you to earn money to support yourself." Xia Chu suddenly thought, since he is such a big eater and still has to support her, he will have no food to eat in the future, right?

Dong Xiaohuan clapped her thigh and laughed.

Wang Yong was stunned for a moment, then said frankly, "If I can afford it, I'll definitely feed you."

After Dong Xiaohuan finished laughing, she thought of something, "By the way, you should find a way to resolve Xiaochu's household registration."

Wang Yong nodded and said, "After dinner, come with me to the government office. I'll ask someone to find the household registration card for me."

Xia Chu's mind moved, and he looked at Wang Yong eagerly and said, "Dad, can my brothers get their household registration?"

Wang Yong frowned. "It's easy to be unregistered, but you can't set up a household on your own. To be registered as a household, you need to have land or a house. You can set up a household when you reach the age of fifteen."

"What is a non-registered household?" Xia Chu asked.

Wang Yong glanced at her and said bluntly, "Untouchable."

Xia Chu's back teeth clenched. "I can't let my brothers be treated like pariahs!" What's the difference between pariahs in this era and the wild animals out there? Should I take out the pearl? She hesitated, looking back and forth, her heart tangled.

Dong Xiaohuan grabbed Xia Chu's hand and said, "Xiaochu, don't bite your nails."

Xia Chu came to his senses, stood up and ran back to the room.

"What's wrong?" Dong Xiaohuan stood up worriedly and slapped Wang Yong again, "What are you talking about, 'untouchables'?"

"Isn't this the truth?" Wang Yong turned sideways, and Dong Xiaohuan somehow saw a hint of grievance in his burly figure.

"Dad, do you think this is valuable?" Xia Chu decided to take out the pearl and gamble on their character.

"This pearl is quite big, but I don't know where it came from. I can ask someone." Wang Yong looked at Xia Chu. "Where did it come from?"

"My head was hit by this." Xia Chu touched the gauze on his head.

Wang Yong looked at the small object in his hand in disbelief. "This thing can smash someone's head? This must be a martial arts master, right?"

"This pearl is shiny and round, and it's so big. I'm afraid it's going to be expensive." Dong Xiaohuan took a look and looked at Wang Yong seriously. "If we sell this pearl, maybe we can buy a small courtyard and register the children."

"I'll ask someone." Wang Yong stuffed the pearl into his arms and ate the last two bites of the cake. "I'm full."

"Wait a minute, Xiaochu has just eaten one, have another one." Dong Xiaohuan quickly rolled another one and handed it to Xia Chu, stuffing it full. Thinking of the name again, "Xiaochu, are you willing to change your surname?"

Wang Yong waved his hand nonchalantly, "You can call her anything you want, she's still our daughter anyway."

I've been called Xia Chu for a long time and don't want to change it. But, you can add a surname, it sounds nice too. She looked up and said, "Can I be called Wang Xia Chu?"

"It's all fine. You don't have to change it." Wang Yong said.

Dong Xiaohuan squatted down and adjusted her hair. "You still have to change your surname. It's not that I care about that. If your surname isn't Wang, I'm afraid others will think our family doesn't value you and will bully you."

This might be what being a parent means, not wanting their children to suffer even the slightest injustice. Xia Chu smiled with her eyebrows curved, the name was just a nickname, "Then I'll be called Wang Xia Chu, and others will know I'm the daughter of the Wang family as soon as they hear it."
