Farming with medicine

Chapter 73
Osmanthus picked up Xiao Jiu's clothes, wanting to see the birthmark.

Xiao Jiu put a stern face on her chubby face, and said seriously, "Mama said that those who tease Xiao Jiu's clothes are all bad guys, auntie, you are a bad guy."

Seeing that Xiaojiu wrinkled her nose and was about to cry, Ruyi came up and pulled her hand, "Everyone is here, is it still a while, first take this child home and ask if it belongs to our family. "

Osmanthus opened her mouth, put Xiao Jiu back on the ground with a look of reluctance, squatted down beside Xiao Jiu and asked, "Where is your home, mother-in-law? No, can you take us there to have a look?"

Xiao Jiu didn't care to talk to them, rubbed the red fruit given by the coachman against her body, and opened her mouth to put it in her mouth. The fruit was too big for her small mouth, and even one piece made her mouth shut. , babbling and pointing to the front, not knowing what to say.

Osmanthus gave Ruyi a compliment, and the group walked slowly behind Xiao Jiu.

Compared with the inside of the village, the outside of the village is much less crowded, but it is quite clean, and you can immediately notice any movement by the woods.

Xiao Jiu took a few steps forward with her little fat legs, and was only three or two steps away from Osmanthus and the others.

The leaves rustled in the woods by the roadside, the little driver stopped and looked around vigilantly, but found that Xiao Jiu was running faster than before, and went straight into the woods.

"Follow up with the child," Osmanthus fragrans couldn't run fast with the baby in her arms, begging the light-legged driver to catch up quickly.

When the little coachman chased him to the edge of the woods, someone lifted the leaves of the tree and came out, with a pheasant on his waist and a bulging bag on his back. Xiao Jiu was hugging his neck and was swinging on a swing, still sounding like a baby. Acting coquettishly, "Good grandpa, Xiao Jiu still wants to eat that sweet yellow fruit."

"You little clever ghost, how do you know that Grandpa picked the fruit for you?"

Xiao Jiu had a smirk on his face, and he smacked the old man's face, "Grandpa, Xiao Jiu wants to eat yellow fruit, and I have to take it back for Mammy to eat."

It seems that Xiao Jiu is a very familiar person.

Xiao Jiu was not angry no matter how she acted like a baby, Gui Hua approached cautiously and asked, "Excuse me, do you know this Xiao Jiu's family?"

The old man vigilantly hugged the restless Xiao Jiu into his arms to protect him, staring at this group of strangers and asked, "Who are you?"

Few people walk outside the village, and this road is a dead end. It rained heavily a while ago, and landslides blocked the road.

Seeing that the old man misunderstood, Guihua hurriedly stepped forward to explain her intention, and wanted to ask to see Xiaojiu's family.

After listening to Osmanthus fragrans' explanation, the old man's vigilant expression relaxed slightly, but he still didn't allow the group of people to get close to Xiao Jiu, "Don't think I'm a busy person, this child is so pitiful, it was originally brought by an old couple, He fell ill and died some time ago, and now only the people who served the old couple are left to take care of the child."

Xiaojiu held the yellow fruit in his hands and took two mouthfuls. His mouth was full and his speech was slurred, but he insisted on asking, "Grandpa, grandpa, what is death?"

Osmanthus turned away and wiped away her tears, then turned her head and said to Xiao Jiu, "It's time to enjoy the blessing."

Xiao Jiu grinned and turned her attention to the fruit in her hand.

Arriving at Xiaojiu's house, Osmanthus discovered that although the house was outside the village, it was built in a high-rise compound. At first glance, it looked like a rich man's house, but the red paint on the wooden door was peeled off by the sun-dried hair. It is an old house of some years.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, are you home?" The old man yelled outside the door without going in. Xiao Jiu got off the old man and trotted in to call for Mammy.

After waiting for a while, a woman in her 40s came out from the back room, wearing white washed blue coarse clothes, saw a few people standing outside the door, pulled Xiao Jiu over and asked, "Are you going again?" Someone stole the fruit and ate it?"

The woman stepped forward with shame on her face and wanted to apologize to Osmanthus and the others, Osmanthus hurriedly helped her into the courtyard.

"To be honest, I came here this time to take Yaomei home," Ruyi had recognized this nanny just now, but she was standing at the back, so she didn't see her.

After many years of absence, things have changed, and now the master and wife are gone, and the young master has never heard from her again. When she met Ruyi, the seldom-emotional nanny also had red eyes, and she looked up and down Ruyi, "Isn't this Miss Ruyi? Could this be Xiao Jiu's mother?"

Ruyi's eyes were also red, and she glanced at the firewood piled up in the yard and the dried mushrooms hanging on the wall, thinking that life is not so easy.

Osmanthus fragrans stood aside with mixed feelings, half kneeling on the ground holding Xiaojiu's chubby face, looking at it again and again, and said with a choked voice, "Mother will take you home."

Mammy also wiped away her tears, and pointed to the low table far away to let them sit. Xiaojiu didn't know why Osmanthus was crying at her, and said she was her own mother, so she tilted her head and asked the mama next to her , "Who is this person?"

"Xiao Jiu, hurry up and call your mother, this is your mother," the nanny picked up Xiao Jiu and stuffed her into the arms of Osmanthus fragrans, whose eyes were red from crying, "If it weren't for my body, I can't walk far, and I plan to go after the death of Mrs. Looking for Miss Ruyi, this child has endured a lot of hardships with me, just in time for you to come, take her away."

Mammy cried and turned around and entered the house, while Xiao Jiu struggled to jump out of Osmanthus' arms and chased into the house.

"Sister-in-law, don't cry, we are happy to take Xiaojiu home today, we should smile," Ruyi persuaded, but thinking of the old couple leaving just like that, I felt uncomfortable, " Later, let's go to the grave and talk to them, let's pick up the children and let them feel at ease down there."

Xiaojiu came out with a plate of dim sum, four or five kinds of dim sum, and there was only one of each. The mother came out with a tea bowl and smiled awkwardly, "Xiaojiu likes to eat, and the money is not much, so I'll buy her one of each. These are the last few in the family, and this kid has brought them all out."

The life is tight, and she still eats tightly to Xiaojiu's mouth, but she thinks how much this nanny loves the child. Osmanthus takes out the bank note that was supposed to be given to the old couple from her bosom and stuffs it into the nanny's hand, "You take Now, you keep the money by your side and spend it."

Mammy didn't want it at all, and she didn't dare to accept it when she saw it was a 50 tael bank note. The two pushed back and forth, "No, no, I watched Xiao Jiu grow up. This old woman loves Xiao Jiu as much as her granddaughter, and the money will be saved for the dowry when Xiao Jiu grows up."

Xiao Jiu didn't understand, but she also understood that this was to separate her from Mammy.

She hugged Mammy's legs and climbed up, refusing to take her little face and arms off Mammy's body without saying anything.

"Xiao Jiu, follow your mother back home, and I will give you delicious fruits and snacks every day, as much as you want," Ruyi tempted Xiao Jiu with a plate of snacks.

Xiao Jiu's heart was moved, and she nodded, "I want dim sum, I want it too, and I want it all, Xiao Jiu wants it all."

Before coming here, Osmanthus thought that the child and the old couple cannot be separated. Now that the old couple is gone, only this nanny is left, and Osmanthus said, "You can come with us too, the family is lively even if there are many people."

"No, no, no, it's not going to work, I'm just a servant, and it's fine for me to be alone," said Mammy, politely rejecting Osmanthus's proposal.

"People don't eat fruit anymore, they want nanny."
