A day has passed.
Su Jiaoniang went to the orphanage for the disabled in the county town and found Bai Shi.
At this moment, Bai Shi had gained a little weight.
Su Jiaoniang glanced at it and a new guess formed in her mind.
Is she pregnant?
"Congratulations!" Su Jiaoniang said.
A blush appeared on Bai's face.
The children in the yard were still playing in the sand. He took a shovel and scooped the sand into a small wooden cart, one scoop at a time.
Once it's full, pour it out and start over!
Such repeated actions prove that the child has the most basic ability to control himself.
Su Jiaoniang stared at it for a while.
A sweet, childlike voice sounded beside me: "W-Do you want to play together?"
"Is it okay?" Su Jiaoniang asked, staring at the fair-skinned child.
The child nodded in a childish voice.
Su Jiaoniang squatted down and started playing in the mud.
Perhaps the legend of the girl creating humans from clay is not just a legend; people with black eyes, black hair, and yellow skin have a deep-rooted love for the soil.
Especially in childhood, when they have not yet been domesticated by society.
Furthermore, blood dissolves in water.
My love for the soil is something I simply can't give up.
After playing for a while, the little guy got tired and lay down on the ground and fell asleep.
Bai picked the child up and gently patted the dirt off the child's body.
They placed the person on a small wooden rocking cradle.
Only then did he continue talking to Su Jiaoniang.
Su Jiaoniang stared at Bai Shi's belly, her mind filled with many thoughts. She knew that raising a child was a very tiring thing, and now Bai Shi was in such a state.
She suddenly found herself unable to speak.
"If Madam Su has anything to say, just say it. These things won't affect anything."
Bai was no fool.
She previously worked as a maid in the county magistrate's mansion.
The job involves constantly watching people's expressions.
He naturally knew what Su Jiaoniang was thinking at that moment.
They probably need her help.
At this point, even if she were to give birth, let alone just be pregnant, she would still find a way to help Su Jiaoniang.
One cannot simply accept favors and help from others without giving anything back!
Su Jiaoniang shook her head: "You should rest well while you're pregnant. I came in a hurry today and didn't bring you any tonics."
"Sister Su, are you saying this to belittle me? My husband is planning to find me a maid to help take care of the child, which will make things much easier. If you need anything, just tell me. I sincerely want to help you!"
When Bai spoke, her words sounded somewhat eloquent and refined.
However, Su Jiaoniang was able to discern that what she said was the truth.
Su Jiaoniang smiled and said, "You should take good care of yourself and give birth to the child."
Leave Wang the carpenter's house.
I could see Wu's stall on the street from afar.
Ms. Wu is making jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes).
Upon seeing Su Jiaoniang, he immediately waved and asked, "What's up? You've come to the county town? Are you hungry? Want to get a pancake?"
"No need!" Su Jiaoniang waved her hand.
Wu was displeased and grabbed Su Jiaoniang, pressing her down to her side: "I've improved the flavor a bit, I've added some chili peppers, you try it!"
Su Jiaoniang watched as Wu Shi sprinkled a layer of chili oil on the pancake.
Her eyes were twitching.
These oils look familiar.
It's from her hot pot restaurant.
Wu secretly produced so much, and yet she had the nerve to display it like this in front of her.
Su Jiaoniang sighed.
"Aren't you afraid I'll wreck your business?"
Ms. Wu shook her head: "I obtained these legally and legitimately. Every time I finish using them, I go to your hot pot restaurant for a meal. Those people said these are free, and as long as I can finish them, I can take them with me."
"..." But they took the food with them before they finished eating.
Su Jiaoniang felt she couldn't understand this.
Madam Wu smiled and said, "I put it in the condiment dish and came back shortly. It's not much, don't be angry." As she spoke, Madam Wu handed the pancake she had made to Su Jiaoniang.
Su Jiaoniang's feelings were somewhat complicated.
It's really hard to guard against people who try to take advantage of others.
But can we change the way hot pot restaurants operate just for this?
No!
Self-service is a style in itself. Other shops that are unwilling to offer self-service or free seasonal fruits and seasonings will lose some customers.
She can afford to lose money.
Su Jiaoniang was carrying a jianbing (Chinese crepe) when she saw a beggar on the roadside. She handed the jianbing to him.
The moment the beggar reached out his hand.
Su Jiaoniang was stunned.
The beggar turned out to be Su Li.
The moment Su Li saw Su Jiaoniang, she grabbed a jianbing (Chinese crepe) and burst into tears, crying, "Sister, sister, I was wrong!"
“Yes, you’re wrong!” Su Jiaoniang nodded.
That's completely wrong.
"Sister, those brother and sister cheated me! Now I have nothing left, no job, no income, and I can only beg for food!"
"Then why don't you go and keep watch? Why don't you go and collect the night soil?"
Su Jiaoniang looked at Su Li, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes.
Su Li sniffed: "I'm a respectable person, how could I possibly transport those things? It's so shameful."
"Then you can continue begging!" Su Jiaoniang kicked Su Li away and turned to walk towards the orphanage for the disabled.
The Bai family cannot help.
Then we'll just have to ask Grandma Fang to keep an eye on things.
If you need manpower, just hire them.
If the income of the orphanage is insufficient, funds can be temporarily withdrawn from the Xie family's premises.
In this way, it will eventually be able to keep running.
As dusk settled, Su Jiaoniang walked into a small courtyard.
The courtyard was spacious, and the children inside exuded a fierce and untamed spirit, like sharpened weapons, with unyielding pride.
