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

After packing up his things, Wang Yong opened the door. There was a bouquet of roses, still covered in dew, on the doorstep. He opened the door and looked in. No one was there, but it was obviously from Xiaochu's brother. "Huh? Where are those brats? Did they only bring flowers?"

"Are the brothers here?" Xia Chu heard the words and ran over happily. Seeing the empty doorway, she felt a little disappointed.

"Who knows? I only see flowers." Wang Yong gave the flowers to his wife. "We'll leave first. I'll send the child back after I'm done."

"I remember the way and I can come back by myself." Xia Chu said with his head raised.

Dong Xiaohuan frowned, "No, what if she gets kidnapped? I'll go with you, you can't wander around while you're on duty." As she said that, she put the flowers into the jar, took off her apron and locked the door.

She held Xia Chu's little hand and couldn't control the smile on her face.

"Huan Niang, where are you going?" I happened to run into a neighbor on the way. I was very surprised to see the couple with a child. I looked closely and found that the child looked very familiar. "Isn't this Xia Chu?"

"Mrs. Qiu, this is Xia Chu. She will be our child from now on. Please take good care of her in the future." Dong Xiaohuan replied with a smile.

Mrs. Qiu was filled with surprise and uncertainty. Everyone in the area knew that the Wang couple had been childless for many years. They had envied their harmonious relationship and gossiped about it countless times. She had never imagined that they would find themselves unable to have children and would pick up a beggar to raise.

Thinking of this, Madam Qiu forced a smile, "Congratulations, Xiaochu is so clever and smart, many people have the same idea."

"Of course not. We have something else to do. We'll leave first and talk next time."

Dong Xiaohuan met many acquaintances along the way and introduced them to each one happily, and asked them to take care of their son Xiaochu.

Xia Chu felt warm in his heart when he heard this, and he felt even closer to her.

With the help of an acquaintance, Xia Chu's household registration went smoothly. Although there was no photo at the time, the clerk observed her carefully and recorded her features on the household registration card.

When asked about his age, Xia Chu shook his head and said he didn't know.

The clerk took a closer look and said based on his experience, "He looks less than five years old, so he can be four or five years old."

Dong Xiaohuan exchanged a glance with her husband and said, "Four years old, maybe younger."

When Dong Xiaohuan came out with the household registration card in her hand, tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged Xia Chu and kissed her again and again. "From today on, you are the daughter of Brother Yong and me. From now on, we will protect you and raise you up."

Xia Chu pursed her lips and nodded. Infected by the atmosphere, she also felt like crying.

"Go back and drive slowly." Wang Yong sent the mother and daughter to the door and then went in to get busy.

Dong Xiaohuan held Xia Chu's little hand, wanting to buy everything she saw. Velvet flowers, hairbands, beautiful clothes, and even snacks, she would ask about everything she saw.

"Xiaochu, do you want to eat crystal soap?"

Xia Chu had never eaten these before. Seeing the crystal clear sweet soup, she nodded. This crystal soap turned out to be made from soapberry rice cooked in sugar water, and it tasted pretty good.

"Do you want to eat chicken skin, Xiaochu?"

Are they having cold noodles at this time? It's cold noodles and chicken skin mixed with sesame sauce. The only downside is that it doesn't have chili oil. But it's still quite delicious, and the sesame sauce is really fragrant.

"Sesame dumplings or yellow cold dumplings, which one do you want?"

"Mutton buns? Turtle sand filling?"

Xia Chu ate so much all the way back that her stomach was almost blocked in her throat.

"Do you want to eat more? The sesame balls are delicious too." Dong Xiaohuan saw the snacks again, but when she said this, Xia Chu got so scared that she started hiccuping.

Xia Chu rubbed her stomach and shook her head, "Burp... I'm too full, burp..."

Dong Xiaohuan was also taking care of a child for the first time, and she was so happy that she couldn't control herself. Seeing her like this, she felt a little regretful. "Oh, I'm full. Have some candied hawthorns to help with the food."

Xia Chu shook her head violently, but was still stuffed with a bunch of things. She was worried about Xia Tian and the others, and looked around all the way, but she didn't see the three brothers. When she arrived at the door, she pulled her mother's clothes and said, "Mom, can I go find my brother?"

Dong Xiaohuan nodded and said, "Okay, bring the brothers back for lunch at noon."

"Okay." Xia Chu nodded obediently and went to the deserted house first. Dali Ge was sitting on a rock in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. "Dali Ge, eat some candied haws!" After saying that, she took one off the bamboo stick.

Wang Dali was quite familiar with her, so he didn't refuse. He put it in her mouth and pushed the stone away to let her in.

Grandma Wang and Wang Xiaocong were here, and the three brothers went out to sell flowers separately.

Grandma Wang had already learned that she was a girl and had been adopted. She was very happy for her. "Our Xiaoliu has finally found happiness after all the hardships she's suffered. Will that family treat you well?"

"That's great. You just took me to register my household registration, and now I have a home." Xia Chu gave Xiao Cong another one. Grandma Wang said that her teeth were not in good condition and she didn't want to eat it.

Grandma Wang was immediately envious. "It's good to have a household registration. Having a household registration means you're a good citizen. It's different from refugees like us," she sighed. "I don't know when we can get a household registration."

"Stay here for a year, own a house and land, and you can register as a farmer." Xia Chu shared what he had heard, then offered a suggestion. "I was thinking about this yesterday. Grandma, save some money first and find a nearby village to buy an unoccupied house and an acre of land, and settle down there. Then ask the village chief for help, and registering as a farmer should be no problem. The house doesn't have to be too nice, just a homestead. An acre of land, or even barren farmland, will do."

When Grandma Wang heard this, she thought it was a good idea! Her household registration card was lost, and they wouldn't allow her to replace it here. She had no money and could only beg for food. Now she had saved a few taels of silver. She couldn't afford to buy good farmland, but if she saved some more, she might be able to buy some. "Then we should go out of town and ask about the price of the land."

Xia Chu was grateful for Grandma Wang's previous care and offered some advice. "My new father is a constable. I asked him to help me ask around. Not only does the land have to be cheap, but the village is also important. We can't go to those who are xenophobic and difficult to get along with. Otherwise, you, an old woman with two children, will be easily bullied."

"That's right." Grandma Wang grabbed her hand, not knowing what to say. "Xiao Liu, Grandma Wang really doesn't know how to thank you."

Xia Chu smiled and shook her head. "My last name is Wang now, so maybe I'm a distant relative. I remember all the kindness that Grandma Wang showed me in the past, so this isn't a big deal."

Grandma Wang patted her hands. "Of course it's not a bother. You just walked into his house, so don't ask for help yet. These flowers can still sell for a while, so you can talk about it when they're mature. We're not in a hurry. Now this job was your idea, and our family of three are indebted to you."

Wang Xiaocong said, "When I grow up, I will definitely repay you."

"Let's not talk about this. Grandma Wang, this is what we call good people being rewarded." Xia Chu put the remaining three candied haws into the bowl in the house, leaving them for his brothers to eat, and went to help pick flowers.

Guan Xu had taken good care of the flower garden. The weeds were pulled out completely and the ground was still wet, obviously having been watered in the morning.

When the sun was about to reach its zenith, the brothers all came back.
