I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 1421 Mother's Substitute
Xia Ying has already picked up the scissors to remove the threads on the clothes.

Seeing her son's sneaky appearance, she said angrily: "Speak frankly, what is the relationship between the two of us? Why are you still so cautious?"

Gu Yuanhao scratched his head. "Mother, my child has a merciless request."

"Say."

"That is, can you sleep with me tonight?"

Xia Ying frowned.

Gu Tuo's face turned dark.

"No! Don't you look at how old you are!"

"No, no, dad, you misunderstood!" Gu Yuanhao quickly waved his hands, "I mean, I fell asleep on the bed, and mother would sit beside me for a while? As long as I fell asleep, mother would You can leave."

As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his tone: "Actually, it was Li Si and the others who came to beg me together. They said that they had been away from home for many years and hadn't seen their parents for a long time. Seeing that their mother was so kind to them today, they thought about it." The parents at home feel empty in their hearts and always feel uncomfortable. So..."

These children regard Xia Ying as a substitute for their mother!
Xia Ying's heart softened all of a sudden.

She glanced at Gu Tuo again.

"What do you think?"

Gu Tuo lowered his face helplessly. "You already have an idea in your heart, so why ask me?"

But right away, he said again: "I'll go with you. Just in time for you to change your clothes, I'll help you too."

Gu Yuanhao cheered immediately. "Father and mother, you agree! Well, I'll go and tell them now!"

The guy ran out quickly.

Xia Ying looked at Gu Tuo again, she stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear. "You duplicity man!"

Gu Tuo's reaction was to bite her lip lightly. "Today, I'll give you and brother Hao some face, and accompany you to perform this scene. But when they leave tomorrow, you have to make it up to me!"

"Understood!" Xia Ying nodded readily.

She quickly pulled Gu Tuo, and the couple moved the pile of clothes and sewing baskets to Gu Yuanhao's guest room.

Originally, she planned to let each of them share a room, and there were enough vacant rooms in the captain's mansion, but Gu Yuanhao refused.

"We only stay for one night, so we don't have to bother others to make the bed and tidy up. Tomorrow, we have to put everything back together and wash it again. We used to sleep together with our pillows on stones when we were outside, but now we just We need to give us a quilt and find a wider bed, so that the few of us can sleep comfortably all night together!"

Now that Xia Ying and his wife walked into the room, what they saw was the picture of these teenagers lying side by side on the bed.

Obviously they are no longer in the barracks, but these people are still lined up according to their status in a strict manner, and this lying down posture is simply too standard!

Especially when they saw Xia Ying enter the room, many people were so nervous that their hands and feet were restrained.

Seeing this, Xia Ying sat down on the edge of the bed first, tucked the quilts for these people one by one, and then she said: "Okay, you all go to sleep! We will stay here tonight, you can sleep A sense of security."

A group of teenagers hurriedly nodded obediently, and then they closed their eyes together.

Xia Ying turned her head again, and saw that Gu Tuo had put the clothes and baskets on the table in the middle of the room.

Xia Ying went back and sat down, she picked up the needle and thread again, and began to make the oversized clothes smaller.

Gu Tuo sat at the side, and he would pass her a pair of scissors from time to time, thread a needle and thread, and did a great job in logistics.

Obviously, they are already two people with good reputations, and they even have countless credits.However, the current couple just sat firmly under the lamp, and they changed the children's clothes with such serious expressions.

There is even only one of them that belongs to their son!
Under the flickering candle shadows, whether it's Xia Ying, who is serious about doing things with her head down, or Gu Tuo, who is frantically helping her, the figures of the two seem so friendly, without any sense of distance.

"Looking at it this way, I seem to have really seen my parents!" a young man whispered.

The other nodded quietly. "Yes! When I was young, my parents made clothes for our brothers and sisters in this way. But my family was poor and couldn't afford candles. My mother could only work by the window by the moonlight. After a long time, her eyes hurt broken."

Slowly, everyone started talking.While looking at the figures of Xia Ying and Gu Tuo, they whispered about their parents, and an indescribable sense of happiness slowly transpired in their hearts.

Before they knew it, they all relaxed and fell asleep peacefully one by one.

A good night's sleep.

Before dawn the next day, the teenagers who were used to being woken up by the loud horns in the barracks opened their eyes one after another.

Sitting up and looking, they saw that Xia Ying and Gu Tuo were still changing their clothes!

The candles in the room had been changed, and the lampstand was full of candle tears, which were evidences of their hard work all night.

The teenagers saw it, and their hearts became sore again.

Even Gu Yuanhao, who has always been forthright, is like this.

He rubbed his eyes and called out in a hoarse voice: "Father, mother."

Xia Ying and Gu Tuo immediately raised their heads.

Then, Xia Ying smiled slightly. "Woke up so early? Fortunately, there is only the last piece of clothes left, and it will be changed in half a cup of tea. After the change, I will cook a big pot of noodles for you. I topped it last night. Sister Fu has already stewed it, it is braised lamb chops! After you are full, you can put on new clothes and go!"

Gu Yuanhao quickly jumped out of bed, and he walked up to Xia Ying.

"The child came here suddenly this time, causing trouble for mother."

"It's good that you know!" Xia Ying nodded immediately.

After working hard all night, now her back is sore and her eyes are sore.While working, she had already scolded this little thing who made trouble for her countless times in her heart!
But scolding, scolding, she didn't stop working.

After all, she still couldn't bear to watch these children go out in the cold in ill-fitting clothes!
Gu Yuanhao sniffed helplessly, he hurriedly said: "Mother, you just said that there is still half a cup of tea, right? Then wait for me!"

He grabbed the clothes at the head of the bed and draped them over his body, then ran out in a hurry.

"Wait, get dressed before going out!"

Xia Ying hurriedly shouted, but the boy had already run away without a trace.

Several other teenagers followed suit.

After a while, Xia Ying happened to change the last piece of clothes, and they came back together.

"Mom, here you are!"

Gu Yuanhao handed over a big burden with both hands.

What is this?
Xia Ying reached out to pick it up, but her hands were immediately drooped by the weight of the burden, which was much heavier than expected.
