Tang Baozhu felt gratified watching the children eagerly vying to do the work, feeling that her efforts had not been in vain.
However, the younger children were not made to sweep the floor, since they were not even as tall as the brooms and could not possibly sweep the floor properly.
Just tell the older kids to fetch some water from the ditch, then have them use rags to clean the furniture, at least to get the dust off.
The group of 18 people worked with one mind. The children were especially happy at the thought of living in such a big house in the future, and everyone worked with even more energy.
I had just finished sweeping the yard when I heard my stomach rumbling.
Tang Baozhu glanced at the children, then at the sky, and realized that it was already so late, and they had even missed lunchtime without even noticing.
"You guys clean up here first, I'll go out and buy some food. There's no time to cook now, the kitchen is completely empty, so I'll have to go buy some."
"Mother, I'll go with you."
Perhaps Xiao Bao was exceptionally precocious from a young age, thinking that his mother was still young and didn't understand anything. He felt that if it weren't for Uncle Tang, she might have starved to death long ago. Therefore, he was worried about his mother going out to buy food alone, and he couldn't rest easy without watching her.
Perhaps all these years, everything has been done by puppets. Tang Baozhu only guides a few children in their studies. In the children's eyes, she may be someone who has never lifted a finger and knows nothing, which is why people are worried about her.
Tang Baozhu had no idea what her son was thinking. Seeing that he wanted to go with her, she assumed he wanted to go outside and join in the fun.
Considering how mature her son had always been, she never expected him to be interested in the outside world, so she didn't refuse.
Looking at the other children, he asked, "Who else wants to come with me?"
The 16 children shook their heads in unison. "Madam, you can take Little Bao with you. We'll clean the other two courtyards here. Don't worry, we'll be good and won't go out."
The children were thinking that after Madam left, they would work hard to clean the whole yard so that Madam wouldn't be so tired when she came back.
After all, we raised so many of them, so those kids still have a conscience.
After all, when Tang Baozhu found them, they were all quite grown up, the youngest being six or seven years old, and they all had memories.
So when they learned that Tang Baozhu had saved them and raised them to adulthood, and that they had everything that Xiao Bao had, they were especially grateful. Now that they were a little older, they wanted to do more work so that their mother and Xiao Bao could have a break.
Although Tang Baozhu didn't know what the children were thinking, she could roughly figure it out by looking into their eyes.
That's why she never made those children sign indenture contracts; they were just too adorable and pitiful.
If you treat them even slightly well, they'll want to repay you tenfold or a hundredfold, even if they're too young to do so.
They will also do their best to handle small tasks within their capabilities.
"Alright, since you're not going, I'll lock the gate from the outside when I go out later. Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable leaving you here."
"Yes, madam, we will be very obedient."
He patted the children in front of him, patted their heads, and then took Xiao Bao's hand and left.
After leaving the courtyard, I quickly locked the gate. Although it took a little effort to close it, I managed to close it easily.
Tang Baozhu, holding her son's hand, didn't know the way, so she used her divine sense to scan the area and find out where the market was. Then she led her son there.
On the road, they encountered a young master with two servants. Initially, neither side paid any attention to the other and they went their separate ways.
But when the young master's eyes swept over, he suddenly saw Xiao Bao's face and was instantly stunned.
Then he stood directly in front of Tang Baozhu and the other person, staring intently at Xiao Bao's face.
At first, Tang Baozhu thought she had encountered a lecherous man. She thought that although she usually acted delicate and weak in front of the children, she was not really delicate and weak. It seemed that her true colors were about to be exposed.
Unexpectedly, the other person wasn't interested in her at all, but instead stared intently at her son.
Tang Baozhu carefully examined the young man, her eyes shifting from initial shock and doubt to final certainty.
Tang Baozhu narrowed her eyes, glanced at the young master, and then looked down at her son.
It seems this young master knows someone who looks a lot like his son, otherwise he wouldn't be acting so seriously.
"Young master, what business do you have stopping my mother and me?"
The young master's expression hadn't recovered yet, but after hearing Tang Baozhu's words, he finally turned his gaze away from Xiao Bao's face and looked at the woman who had spoken.
This shocked me again. Besides the fact that it was good-looking, there was another reason: the face looked so familiar.
Tang Baozhu was practically driven crazy by his attitude. She could understand his shocked expression, since he might be a relative who knew her son, but seeing her looking so serious was just not right.
At this moment, Tang Baozhu suddenly remembered that when she first transmigrated, she knew from the original little girl's memories that she had drifted there from other places.
Is it possible that I am someone else's lost child, rather than an abandoned child?
Tang Baozhu felt that her leisurely life might be gone forever.
If they actually find the body's family, and also the son's father's family, then life will be truly lively from now on.
The young master, named Tang Jie, was completely bewildered when he saw the woman in front of him who bore a striking resemblance to his mother.
His heart was pounding. He had a feeling that the woman in front of him might be his sister, whom he had lost more than 20 years ago.
But he was also afraid that if his hopes were too high, his disappointment would be even greater. For a moment, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
Tang Baozhu had no interest in playing riddles with him. Even if she had a general idea in mind, she wasn't going to ask it out beforehand.
"If you have nothing else, please step aside."
Seeing the woman's somewhat impatient expression, Tang Jie knew he had wasted too much time. Worried that if he let her go this time, he would never find her again, he tentatively asked, "Madam, I know an old woman who looks about five-tenths like you. Would you like to take a look?"
