Chapter 115 Chapter 115 Xuetuaner
So a few people gathered in the room and began to think about the name of the child.
Miao Ying first proposed his own idea: "Let's call her Miaomiao? Little Miaomiao."
"How could a child use your father's name?" Li Hongying objected. "Let's not talk about us, your parents wouldn't agree either."
Xiao Lin looked at the child's chubby face and said, "How about calling him Dudu? Round and plump."
Miao Ying thought for a moment and said, "This is a backup." He looked at Lingzhi again, "Where's Lingzhi?"
Lingzhi's mind was blank, and he just shook his head at Miao Ying: "I really can't think of a name for the moment."
Miao Ying looked at his grandmother again, and his grandmother shook her head at him.
Li Hongying said hesitantly, "Isn't it said that giving yourself a cheap name makes it easier to support yourself?"
"That can't be called Tiedan Gousheng," Miao Ying said quickly, "He's a little brother."
Li Hongying quickly waved her hand: "No, that little guy can't be called that name. I just want you to think about it in this way."
Miao Ying had a good idea: "Don't we have steamed buns and cornbread at home? And the child is so white, like a snowball. Why not call him Xuetuan? Tuanzi is also fine."
"Let's call it Xuetuan." Lingzhi said, "It's so white and cute, let's call it Xuetuaner."
Finally, everyone unanimously agreed on the nickname "Xuetuan" and started calling it that. The more they called it that, the more appropriate it seemed. It's so white and tender, just like a snowball.
They should wait until Huo Xing comes back to think of the child's name together, and now they started talking about what happened outside the room.
"Lingzhi, you haven't been to the shop for a long time, right?" Miao Ying asked. He was in the room and had almost forgotten what day it was. He only knew that he could see him every day when he opened his eyes.
"My shop is under the supervision of Brother Xing." Lingzhi smiled a little embarrassedly.
After he married back into the Fu family, Xing'er returned to serve him. However, after what he had experienced these days, he was not used to being served by someone again, so Xing'er felt a little embarrassed in the yard.
There were rumors in the mansion that Xing Ge'er was going to climb into Fu Lingyou's bed, and it almost made Xing Ge'er hang himself. Lingzhi had no choice but to bring him to the shop. Unexpectedly, he was like a fish in water in the shop and was more popular than Lingzhihai. So during the time when Miao Ying gave birth to the child, Xing Ge'er stayed in the shop.
He had studied with Lingzhi before, and he knew how to keep basic account books, and his writing was very neat, so Lingzhi just went along with him.
After listening to this, although Miao Ying didn't want to make malicious assumptions about Xing Ge'er, he still reminded Ling Zhi to be careful. After all, it was a matter of interest, and it was always better to be more careful.
Lingzhi nodded: "I will go to the shop when big brother comes back, don't worry."
Time passed quickly as they talked and sewed. After a while, Xuetuan started whimpering and twisting left and right, which meant he wanted his diaper changed.
Then they worked like an assembly line, Xiaolin looked for diapers, Lingzhi went to heat milk, Li Hongying changed diapers, and Miao Ying just sat and watched, and their grandmother made some space for them.
It is actually not very convenient to feed the baby. I have to feed him little by little with a spoon. Xuetuan is so hungry that he feels he can't drink anymore and starts crying. But there is no bottle here. Miao Ying can ask Huo Xing to make a straw, but the straws are either made of bamboo or wood, which can easily hurt Xuetuan, so this is the only way to feed him.
However, Xuetuan must have gotten used to this way of being fed, and he no longer cried anxiously. It was just that he felt too sleepy at the end of the meal, so I didn't know whether he was full or not.
After eating and changing his diaper, the little guy went back to sleep with his butt sticking out, but the few of them made a mess.
Huo Xing went out and couldn't come back at night, so Li Hongyinglingzhi accompanied Miao Ying to sleep. The main reason was that Xuetuan had to wake up two or three times at night, and Miao Ying couldn't take care of him alone, so it was more convenient for them to sleep together.
Fu Lingyao brought the people from Zhenwei Escort Agency to the county town. Fu Lingyou arranged for them to stay in an inn for one night. After they had rested, he took them to the farm.
Huo Xing also rushed over. There were about ten people in his group. Firstly, they were always cautious and thought that more people would prevent them from being wiped out all at once. Secondly, they also had a glimmer of hope in their banknotes. What if, what if they could find a good place to go? Then they wouldn't have to eat the escort agency's food for nothing.
Only after seeing Huo Xing did they truly breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's been over a year since we last met." One of the escorts hugged Huo Xing, "Are you all doing well now?"
Huo Xing nodded. He looked at the man's legs. He couldn't walk smoothly and was limping. Seeing Huo Xing looking at his legs, he said directly, "After you left, you went on a trip and encountered bandits. The tendons of your hamstrings were cut. It's not a big deal. It's just that you can't walk smoothly. You can still do physical work."
Huo Xing looked at the others, who also had some disabilities on their hands and feet. They looked young, so they didn't want to rely on the escort agency for the rest of their lives, so they were willing to take this trip.
They were not good at small talk, and they went to the oil press after talking for a while.
Huo Xing briefly explained the purpose of calling them here, and asked Fu Lingyou to tell them the specific situation.
"I've heard of the Zhenwei Escort Agency, and I know you all speak of the chivalrous spirit of the Jianghu, so I trust you all." He explained what he wanted them to do, and emphasized, "The oil pressing method is confidential, but I hope that one day, when your hometowns also grow this oil, you can return home and open an oil press like this."
The ten people who came were all shocked. This was equivalent to handing them a skill that could not be passed on to outsiders, and it did not mean that they would be tied here for life. As long as they had the opportunity, they could still do it themselves and make money by themselves. Where could they find such a good thing?
Several people agreed without hesitation, and then they quickly discussed the wages. Fu Lingyou specifically stated that this needed to be kept confidential, and signed the agreement. Only then did Fu Lingyou feel relieved.
Fu Lingyou's people are already familiar with the method of oil extraction, so there is no need for Huo Xing to stay here. Fu Lingyou is a man who does things properly, and he believes that he can arrange all these things. Huo Xing's heart has already flown back home. After being away for a day, he misses his children.
Fu Lingyou saw him out and told Huo Xing that the oil press in their town had been built. After the harvest, he could open the door and prepare to press the oil himself.
Huo Xing asked him about his future plans. Many people were growing rapeseed now, so where would they sell all that oil?
Fu Lingyou smiled and said, "Let's send it to the capital first. Even if we send all the oil we produce here to the capital, I'm afraid it won't be enough. You don't have to worry about sales."
These things were not something Huo Xing could worry about. He smiled at Fu Lingyou and said, "Then I'll go home first. Lingzhi is still at home. You..."
"I'll pick him up in two days." Fu Lingyou nodded, "Take Miao Yinghao with you."
It was already dark when Huo Xing returned home, but Miao Ying had not gone to bed yet. He had slept too much and could not fall asleep at night. His biological clock, which had been well-maintained, was now completely messed up.
Grandma had gone to bed. Li Hongying had heated up some food for Huo Xing. Xuetuan's milk was still warming on the stove. Xiaolin was collecting the diapers hanging in the yard. Lingzhi was doing the accounts by the light of a lamp.
After he finished his meal, he took a shower and went to the room to see Miao Ying and the child.
Miao Ying sat on the edge of the bed, one hand on Xuetuan's body. When he saw Huo Xing coming back, he took his hand away: "Are you back?"
Huo Xing put his cheek close to his and gently touched Xuetuan before telling him about today's events: "About ten people from the escort agency have arrived. They all have some disabilities. If nothing else, they must be very strong. Also, Master Fu said that the oil press in town is ready and waiting for us to open it."
Miao Ying nodded: "It's almost time. Someone came to our house today and asked what to do next. I guess we'll just have to wait for the oil pressing."
Huo Xing glanced at him, then touched the child: "But I don't want to go out."
Miao Ying smiled and glanced at him: "It's not like you won't be back. You can go during the day and come back at night. When I'm out of confinement, I can go out too. You always stay away from going out and delay things."
Huo Xing still looked reluctant to go out, so Miao Ying said, "We gave the child a nickname today: Xuetuan."
Huo Xing listened, his eyes lit up: "Xuetuan."
Miao Ying nodded: "How about it, it sounds nice, right? He is like a dumpling, snow-white."
"That's great." Huo Xing moved closer to Xuetuan again, "What's your name?"
"We haven't chosen a name yet." Speaking of this, Miao Ying suddenly remembered, "Do we still need to register Xuetuan as a resident? Have you done it yet?"
"There's no rush. We can do it within a year." Huo Xing took off his clothes. "Besides, Xuetuan hasn't been given a name yet. What do you mean? Should he choose one himself or what?"
Miao Ying thought for a moment and said, "Is Xiaobao coming back soon? I'll ask him when he comes back."
Huo Xing nodded: "That's fine, actually, calling him Huo Xuetuan is not bad."
Miao Ying kicked him and said, "I'm still kneading the dough. No, I need to come up with a good name."
Xuetuan's birthday is the first day of May. Huo Xiaobao goes home on the fifteenth of every month. Tomorrow is the fifteenth, and he has to go and pick him up.
In the end, it was Huo Xing and Xiao Lin who went to pick up Huo Xiaobao. Lingzhi also went to his shop. Only Miao Ying, Li Hongying and his grandmother were at home.
It just so happened that Ye Feng came to visit, and he helped them a lot.
"Oh, this child is so beautiful." Ye Feng came to see Miao Ying a few days ago. At that time, Xuetuan had not grown yet. Today, he looks very different from a dozen days ago.
"I gave it a nickname, Xuetuan," said Miao Ying.
"That's a good name." He praised Miao Ying for a while, then expressed concern for her health before finally stating the purpose of his visit. "We've harvested the rapeseed, and it seems dried up. So what should we do next? There's still no definite answer."
Someone came to ask about it a few days ago, but they didn't go into the room. They asked Li Hongying. However, Li Hongying didn't know about Miao Ying and their plans, so she didn't say much. Finally, the villagers found Ye Feng and asked him if he could come to ask Miao Ying.
Miao Ying looked at him and said, "The oil press is ready, but Huo Xing doesn't want to go out these two days. He just wants to take care of the children, so the oil pressing will have to wait for two days. I'll talk to him later."
Ye Feng laughed again: "If I had such a cute little brother, I wouldn't want to go out either."
"It will be soon," Miao Ying said. "But I still need to trouble you to talk to the villagers. We definitely don't do this oil pressing for free. It takes a lot of effort. The cost of running the oil press is not low."
Ye Feng hummed: "Of course, no one works for free."
