The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 467 Mother and child diverge (1)
Although the days go by quickly, you have to live every day.

The little girls of Min's family also have to grow up day by day, so Su Xiazhi sighs that it's over when it's over...

As soon as Laba was over, she began to prepare for the New Year.

It is essential for the children to wear new clothes. For these people in the family to eat, they should prepare more ingredients that are usually reluctant to eat.

Although the population in the family is not large, Su Xiazhi is busy preparing things every day when she is able to eat.

The first snow had only seen sunshine for a few days, and the second snow fell immediately. The snow fell on the frozen ground and did not melt, but formed a thick layer. The weather is dry and cold!
Turning up the fire in the charcoal basin, Su Xiazhi stretched out her hands to roast on it, but she was wondering if the scholar was wearing too little when he went out in the morning?
Min Lansheng's body is thin and slender, giving the impression of a weak scholar. Su Xiazhi always spoils him unconsciously, and doesn't let him worry about family affairs at all.

Just as he was in a trance, he heard the cat Xiaobai lying under the eaves barking loudly, which startled Su Xiazhi in the room.

"Someone is here, I'll open the door!" Jiaojiao, who was leading her sisters to practice calligraphy, opened the door and walked out calmly.

"Mom!" After a while, Jiaojiao's voice came from outside: "Come and have a look."

Through the gap of Mao Xiaobai's fat body blocking the gate, Su Xiazhi seemed to see a woman in rags standing at the gate.

Wouldn't it be a beggar?Guessing the identity of the woman in her heart, she walked over slowly.

Jiaojiao held a door panel with one hand, looked at the people outside the door cautiously, and didn't intend to let anyone in.

"Mother, look!" Hearing footsteps behind her, Jiaojiao turned her head, and immediately stood aside: "Ask her who she is looking for, but she can't tell, so she asked if we are from Ping County."

"Oh?" Su Xiazhi stepped up the steps, opened a door, and looked at the woman.

Although one can tell at a glance that the person standing at the door is a woman, Su Xiazhi can't judge the woman's age based on her appearance alone. Looking at the dirty dress on her body, she looks pretty good damask.

Looking at the other person's dirty face that couldn't be any more dirty for a moment, Su Xiazhi decided that he didn't know this person.

"Ma'am, you don't know me." The woman was wearing thin clothes, obviously unable to withstand the freezing weather, her body was trembling, and even her voice was trembling.

For this stranger who came to the door, Su Xiazhi still couldn't figure out the details of the other party, so he didn't speak rashly, but nodded politely: "What's the matter with you?"

"I'm a concubine..." As soon as the woman opened her mouth, snot dripped down her nose. She quickly turned her face away and wiped it with her sleeve before saying, "I made you laugh!"

Although the other party spoke decently, the dirty appearance really gave Su Xiazhi a headache.

She suppressed the tired thoughts in her heart, and asked as calmly as possible: "If you have anything to say, please speak up."

"Okay." The dirty woman sniffed vigorously and said, "I found your mansion after inquiring for a long time."

"I just want to ask, is the master in your mansion last in Ping County?"

"Oh! It's Ping County in Fu County." Fearing that Su Xiazhi might not understand what she was talking about, the woman deliberately explained the place name again, and then looked at Su Xiazhi eagerly.

"Yes, my family's husband was the magistrate of Ping County in the prefecture's county last time." The woman's words were nonsensical, and Su Xiazhi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he heard it, thinking: Could it be that the scholar made a mistake when he took office? The case, the troubled master has come to the imperial capital to find it?

"Amitabha! My God, our mother and I finally found it!" The woman was so excited that her nose and tears flowed down after hearing Su Xiazhi's words. She didn't bother to wipe it off, but waved behind her: " Yuan Bao, come here, this is it!"

Ok?How many people are here?

Su Xiazhi opened the two courtyard doors and stepped out.

This is her home, and she cannot allow anyone to go inside.

At the foot of the steps, a woman whose face was covered with snot and tears was squatting on the snow and pulling up a dilapidated hood for a thin child with her hands. She stared at the child for a long time without blinking her eyes. Only then whispered: "Yuan Bao, mother can only send you here..."

The two girls, who were too dirty to look at, looked at each other in the snow. The woman stretched out her hands and hugged the child tightly in her arms, then turned her face away and staggered away: "Yuanbao, don't Weird girl..."

She covered her mouth and whimpered.

Pushed by her, the child staggered, and his small body wobbled for a while before he sat on the ground, but he couldn't care less about getting up, so he yelled in panic: "Mother! Mother!"

His voice was hoarse, like a kitten that hadn't drank water for a few days...

People's hearts are fleshy, and since Su Xiazhi became a mother, when facing children, her heart is as soft as tofu.

She didn't care about chasing the woman who staggered away, but went straight to the doll lying on the ground.

Even in winter, when Su Xiazhi picked up the child in messy clothes, she still smelled a disgusting sour smell, which made her stomach churn and almost vomited out!
Turning her face away, she carefully went up the steps with the child in her arms. Su Xiazhi kicked the cat Xiaobai who was squatting at the door: "I usually like to run outside and chase people when I see them, but today you don't move the person you should chase! Silly lack!"

"Mother, isn't our cat Xiaobai tied..." Seeing that the snow was thick on the bluestone steps, Jiaojiao rushed over to support her.

"..." Looking down at the rope hanging around Mao Xiaobai's neck, Su Xiazhi was ashamed as he still shook his head and tailed him after being kicked by it!Only then did I realize that I tied it to the eaves of the gatehouse to escape the wind and snow...

"Cat Xiaobai, adults also make mistakes sometimes, I was wrong..." Su Xiazhi hurriedly apologized after kicking it for no reason.

Mao Xiaobai walked around her legs in a small area, shaking his head and wagging his tail, showing no sign of getting angry at all.

"Since you are so generous, I will give you more meat to eat at night!"
