The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 29 This is what it feels like to raise a child
Zhuang Zhuang raised his head from Tang Mian's arms, with tears in his eyes, "Thank you, mother. Mother is so kind."

"Sha Zhuangzhuang, I am your mother, so I will naturally treat you well." Tang Mian said, gently rubbing his withered hair.

"Yeah." The little guy nodded heavily and smiled with all his teeth exposed.

Not every mother is good to her child, but he is really happy now.

From now on, he will never think about that home or the people there again.Starting today, he has a new home.

"Mom, should I take medicine?"

Drink the medicine obediently and take good care of yourself to help your mother.

Tang Mian smiled and said, "You just finished eating. You will drink the medicine later."

"Okay." Zhuang Zhuang's voice was clear and crisp, and his smile was very cute.

Tang Mian felt a little warm in his heart, it turns out that this is what it feels like to raise a child.

"Sit down obediently while Mom takes the bowl to the kitchen."

"Yeah, let's go, mother!"

When Tang Mian walked into the kitchen, Li had just put everything away.

"Have Zhuang Zhuang finished eating?" Mrs. Li said, closing the cupboard door.

"Yeah." Tang Mian responded, walked to the stove and scooped hot water from the soup can, washed the bowl in his hand and put it in the cupboard.

When he turned around, he found that Mr. Li had a slightly sad look on his face.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Li sighed, "Your father went to find the clan leader to create a family tree for Zhuang Zhuang. I'm afraid it won't go so well."

If a person with a foreign surname who can't hit a pole wants to be included in the Lu family's genealogy, the patriarch may have objections.

Tang Mian paused and said with relief: "Mom, don't worry. Since dad has gone, he will definitely find a way to get the clan leader to agree."

Patriarch's house.

"Xiao Zheng, why do you think of coming to see me at this noon?" the old patriarch said with a smile, touching the tobacco leaves given by Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng sat on the chair and rubbed his hands on his legs, "Uncle Chief, to be honest, I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything."

"Oh? Tell me." The old patriarch naturally knew that Lu Zheng had something to do with him, otherwise why would he have run to his house under the noon sun.

"Uncle Patriarch must have heard that yesterday Mianniang picked up a child who was abandoned by his biological parents and went home. Mianniang felt pity for him, and since she had no children of her own, she wanted to adopt the little guy and give him a good education. The surname is Lu. If not, I will come to the patriarch to write the little guy’s name on the family tree.”

"What did you say?" The old patriarch, who was half lying on the chair, stood up in shock.

"You want to put a child with no blood relationship on the Lu family's family tree?"

"Lu Zheng, are you kidding me?"

Lu Zheng said with a stern expression, "Uncle Chief, what I said is true."

"No." The old patriarch glared at Lu Zheng.

"I heard that the child is in poor health and difficult to raise. If your family wants to have a child, there are so many children in the clan, and finding a suitable adopter who can have some blood relationship, why bother raising a child with a foreign surname? "

Lu Zheng chuckled, "Uncle Patriarch, didn't Mian Niang meet that child by chance? Perhaps, this is the fate of mother and son. Mian Niang accepted the little guy as her adopted son, so naturally she wanted to send him to our Lu family Genealogy. This kind of thing is not without precedent."

The old patriarch's beard curled up slightly and he snorted angrily, "That's from someone else's family. The Lu family has no precedent for this."

"Our Lu family can have one now!" Lu Zheng said with a flattering smile.

As a result, he earned another glare from the old patriarch.

Lu Zheng still had a smile on his face, "Uncle Patriarch, this little guy is smart. I'm thinking of sending him to a private school in two years. Maybe he can earn some fame in the future."

The old patriarch's drooped eyelids trembled. After a moment of silence, his tone changed, "Xiao Zheng, do you like him so much?"

"Yes, Uncle Patriarch, the little guy is smart and everyone in our family likes him very much." Lu Zheng smiled and looked very innocent.

The old patriarch sighed, "In this case, I can't stop him anymore. If you want to create a family tree for him, then go ahead."

"I will choose a day to open the ancestral hall later and write his name on it."

"By the way, what's the little guy's name?" the old patriarch asked, raising his eyelids.When talking about the name, Lu Zheng was slightly worried, "The little guy said he wanted to choose a new name, but I haven't thought of it yet!"

"How about Uncle Patriarch help me think about it?" Lu Zheng looked at the old Patriarch expectantly, as if he wanted him to give him a name.

Hearing this, the old patriarch felt comfortable, "I do have a few spare names here."

Lu Zheng's eyelids twitched. Do you really want to take it?

Fortunately, the old patriarch changed the topic and said, "However, since he is your grandson, it is more appropriate for you to choose the name."

Lu Zheng felt relieved, okay, okay!

"Xiao Zheng, you have to think carefully about the name. After all, you will send him to a private school in the future. If he has fame but the name is too unpleasant, that would not be good." The old patriarch suggested with a serious look on his face. .

Lu Zheng nodded after being taught, "Uncle Chief, don't worry, I will think about it carefully."

There is a private school in Qingyuan Village. Boys in the village will be sent to it when they reach their age. Those who can read will attend, while those who cannot read will learn to recognize a few words in two days.

Lu Zheng fell into the category of recognizing a few words.

He wanted to choose a good name, and when he got home, he had to look through the old book at home.

"It's easy to create a family tree for him, but I'm afraid it will take some effort to register." The old patriarch reminded.

Lu Zheng also understood, "Uncle Chief, don't worry, I know it well."

The old patriarch nodded slightly, "As long as you know the number."

"Uncle Patriarch, I'm going back first. I'll leave it to Uncle Patriarch to worry about the family tree." Lu Zheng stood up and said.

The old patriarch raised his eyelids and responded softly, "Yes."

After Lu Zheng left, the old patriarch sighed deeply.

"It would be great if I could come back with a merit degree!"

There are only two people in the Lu family who can study. It has been almost 40 years since the private school was established, and there have been only five children and three scholars.

Boy Xun was indeed talented, but unfortunately he was weak and didn't take any exams. He even died young last year.

Thinking of this, the old patriarch sighed again.

The Lu family’s talents are withering!

After finishing the little guy's family tree matter, Lu Zheng walked a little more briskly.

But when he thought about household registration, he was still a little worried. He had to go to Li Zheng to apply for household registration.

But Li Zheng is not from Qingyuan Village, so if you want to do business with him, you have to give him a gift that touches his heart, so that your household registration can be done smoothly.

He had to think carefully about what to give.

When Lu Zheng returned home, Tang Miangang gave the medicine to Zhuang Zhuang to drink.

"Sleepy?" Tang Mian put the medicine bowl aside and looked at Zhuang Zhuang and said.

Zhuang Zhuang nodded a little sluggishly.

"Take a good rest if you feel sleepy." He had a lot of blood, and he was not as energetic as he was yesterday.

Zhuang Zhuang closed his eyes slightly and nodded subconsciously, "Okay."

Tang Mian gently put him on the bed, covered him with a thin quilt, took the medicine bowl and walked out of the room to the kitchen.

"Mian Niang."

Tang Mian turned around when he heard the voice, "Dad, you are back."

"I have something to ask you. Let's go to the main room to talk." Lu Zheng said softly with his hands behind his back.

Tang Mian nodded, "Okay. I'll pack up the medicine bowl and come right away."

"Well, let's go."
