Du Wanwan, a military doctor, overworked herself to death. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself branded a 'calamity star'—hated by everyone, facing a forced exodus, and expel...
Chapter 67 The Little Beggar Has a New Name
There were more than ten big meat buns in the backpack. Du Wanwan waved to Du Wenguan, and Du Wenhuo came over, lifted the cloth, picked up the buns, and gave one to each of them.
He told them: "Hide in a corner and eat without being seen."
Both of them were grown up, so they naturally understood what Du Wanwan meant. They put the meat buns in their arms and ran out with a smile.
Du Wanwan put the other buns and salt into the car and asked Xiaoqi and Aunt Hua to watch over them. She sat aside and interacted with Yaya in the space.
Yaya is very capable. She has sorted out the things in the secret room into different categories. Du Wanwan is listening to her report in her mind.
It turned out that the boxes in the secret room contained not only yellow and white things, but also books, four boxes of books. Yaya didn't tell her what the books were, just that they were books.
She couldn't enter the space to read during the day, so she could only get a general idea. She would go in at night when there was no one around to see what books were there.
The books that can be placed in the secret room must be good things. If they are ordinary things, who would hide them so securely?
Yu Hanyan came over with her son in her arms. Seeing that Du Wanwan seemed to be thinking about something, she couldn't help but ask, "Sister! What are you thinking about?"
Du Wanwan raised her head and teased the little glutinous rice dumpling in Yu Hanyan's hand: "I'm not thinking about anything, I'm just tired, let me take a rest."
From her tone, it seemed like she didn't want to say it, so Yu Hanyan didn't ask. Everyone has their own little secrets, so why should she ask so clearly.
Given the current situation, even if I ask her I may not be able to help, so it’s better not to ask.
"Sister! Thank you for buying me some chickens. I haven't had enough milk these past two days, and my baby kept crying in the middle of the night because he was hungry. With these two chickens, I can hold out for a while."
The child's nickname was given by my younger sister. She said the child was her treasure, so she called him Baobao.
She thought it sounded nice and kept calling him baby.
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Du Wanwan teased the little baby who began to make a single syllable "oh oh oh", "As the baby grows up, he will naturally eat more. Although it's hard for you to feed him, it's worth it.
It is better for you to feed the child yourself. If you leave him to a wet nurse, he will no longer be close to you. In the future, when he talks about how hard it was for you to feed him, I believe he will never become an ungrateful person. "
Yu Hanyan was deeply moved when she heard this. Although her sister was young, she knew a lot. Sometimes she wondered why such a smart person was born in a small village.
If everyone hadn't followed her to escape famine, she wouldn't have known that there was such a capable girl in the village.
Everything seemed to be no problem when it came to my sister. People from Huojia Village and Dujia Village didn't buy anything when they went to the city, but my sister went in and bought a lot of things.
Not only did she buy cloth, she also bought food, and when she got back she gave her two big fat chickens. Her sister was so kind to her and the baby, and she must have run a long way to buy chickens for her.
Others can’t buy it, but she can. It’s obvious that she didn’t buy it in the city. She must have gone to the other side of the city!
Her sister ran away and bought her things, but she had nothing and couldn't give her anything good to thank her.
"Yes! My sister is right." Yu Hanyan's eyes were red as she watched Du Wanwan teasing her son. "If he dares not remember his aunt's kindness, I will never forgive him."
"That's not necessary." Du Wanwan continued to tease the baby, "He doesn't need to remember me as his aunt. After all, he is from Southern Xinjiang. It's enough for him to remember how good you, his mother, are to him."
Speaking of this, Yu Hanyan felt sad: "Sister! Can't you come to live in Southern Xinjiang with me?"
"Not for now, I don't know about the future." Du Wanwan didn't say anything definite. She hadn't figured out the situation in Dawei yet, so she couldn't say for sure. "Let's take it one step at a time!"
Yu Hanyan didn't try to persuade her any more. She knew very well that her sister was a capable person and would not be easily influenced by anyone. If she didn't want to go to Southern Xinjiang, it would be useless to persuade her.
"After arriving in Liang County, I will go back to Southern Xinjiang." Yu Hanyan sighed, resting her chin on Du Wanwan's shoulder, looking very cute, "Sister! If you have any problems in the future, come to Southern Xinjiang to find me."
"Okay!" Du Wanwan agreed, still teasing the baby in her arms, "I will settle down in Liang County. If you have time, you can come to see me. When I settle down, I will also come to see you."
"That's great." Yu Hanyan laughed. She was surprised to see Yao Meixian bringing a little girl over. "Sister! Where did you pick up this little girl from? She looks pretty good. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up."
The little beggar had been washed from head to toe by Yao Meixian, revealing his delicate facial features. He looked really good, and his eyes, like black grapes, were particularly bright.
When he saw Du Wanwan, a smile from the bottom of his heart appeared in his eyes, and his face turned red with embarrassment: "Big brother! I, I, I, I am actually a girl."
"I know." Du Wanwan returned the child to Yu Hanyan and told her, "I am also a girl."
"ah?"
The little beggar was stunned, as if her brain was stuck, and she couldn't figure it out for a while. She looked Du Wanwan up and down, then covered her mouth in surprise.
Yu Hanyan found her actions very interesting and couldn't help teasing her: "Do you think you were wrong to call me big brother?"
The little beggar's face was red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone. Du Wanwan touched her hair, which had been cut short, and checked it to see if there were any lice.
Fortunately, no, it's a blessing.
"May I have your name?"
Du Wanwan had asked this question before in the city, but she felt that the little beggar was not telling the truth. How could such a big child not have a name?
Either she didn't want to say it, or she forgot.
The little beggar hesitated for a moment and answered in a low voice: "I don't remember, no one has ever called me by my name, everyone usually calls me Hei San."
"Hei San?" Du Wanwan frowned, "Why do I call you Hei San?"
"have no idea."
The little beggar shook his head, feeling very helpless. He dug his toes into the ground beneath his feet, as if he was trying to dig out a yard.
Yu Hanyan gave Du Wanwan some advice: "It doesn't matter what her name was before. Once she arrives at your house, she's yours. She'll have your last name, so just give her a name."
Yao Meixian stood aside and looked at Du Wanwan, then looked at the little beggar: "Why not just call her Xiuxiu! Du Xiuxiu!"
Yu Hanyan was the first to agree: "This is a good name. Our mother is very talented."
Since she and Du Wanwan became godparents, she also called Yao Meixian "mother", which made her feel very close and had a sense of belonging. She felt that she had not run away from home, and just like in southern Xinjiang, she also had family members to accompany her in Dawei.
"Du Xiuxiu! It really sounds nice." Du Wanwan took the little beggar's hand and said, "From now on, you are no longer Hei San. Your name is Du Xiuxiu, and you are a member of our Du family."
Du Xiuxiu nodded her little head, her black eyes smiling: "I remember, my name is Du Xiuxiu, I am eleven years old."
"Ah? You are the same age as Wenhuo." Yao Meixian asked in surprise, "Xiu Xiu! When is your birthday?"
