Chapter 5
Congee knew nothing about what happened in the hotel. After leaving the hotel, he followed Mingtong to the overpass.
The overpass during the day is obviously not as lively as it is at night, but there are some breakfast stalls and the flow of people is good.
It was working time, and people were everywhere getting ready to go to work. Zhu Zhou walked to a bun shop with his copper bowl in his arms and said, "Hello, donor, can you order some vegetarian food for the poor?"
The little girl has a sweet voice, but she is also very serious, and what she says also makes people laugh.
The proprietress of the steamed stuffed bun shop was a fat aunt. When she saw her, she immediately laughed and said jokingly: "You poor Taoist? You have a shaved head. You are not a little monk, but a little Taoist?"
Congee touched his bare head, nodded, pinched his thumb and little finger, made a sign of three, raised his chubby hand and replied seriously: "I was a monk before I was three years old, and then Master Yuanming took me there
Taoist temple, now I am a Taoist priest."
She is not that big, but she speaks fluently.
The boss lady was also very happy and took a bun to her and said, "Here, eat it, be careful not to burn it."
Porridge's nose twitched, but he didn't pick it up. He said in a milky voice, "Donor, I am a monk and eat vegetarian food."
So observant of the rules.
The landlady smiled again and gave her a vegetarian bun, "You were just a young Taoist priest, and now you are a monk? You must abide by the rules on both sides. Here, here are the vegetarian buns."
Her steamed buns were so big and soft that Zorridge swallowed hard and nodded. She held the copper bowl in both hands and stood on tiptoes to catch it, "Thank you, donor!"
She laughed loudly at her. The little girl's smile was sweet and soft, which made the shopkeeper so cute. Before she could say anything, she saw her reaching into the big bag and digging through it. She took out a piece of talisman and handed it to her.
He said to her, "This is a fertility talisman. The donor has a baby, so he must pay more attention to rest."
After saying that, he bowed to her and turned around and ran to Mingtong. He gave half of it to him. The two nephews finished the porridge in two bites, smacked their lips after smashing the porridge, and continued to ask for the next meal.
After they left, the landlady touched her belly and looked at her husband with disbelief in her eyes. What did she just say, baby?
After she came to her senses, the boss quickly helped her sit down and touched her belly. His honest face was full of ecstasy, "Is it true?"
They have been married for almost ten years and have never had children. The doctor said she would have difficulty conceiving.
Thinking of this, the fire in the boss's heart was extinguished again, and she felt a little sad, "I guess it was a child who said it casually."
After pondering for a moment, the boss gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go check it out."
What if.
It was the morning rush hour, and the boss didn't want to sell any more buns, so he just let everyone take them by themselves, put the payment code next to them, and rushed to the hospital with the boss's wife.
Two hours later, the couple looked at the fresh inspection report and were dumbfounded.
"Really, really?!" The boss looked at the words "two weeks pregnant" and smiled so much that it reached behind his ears, "That's great!"
Thinking of something, he hurriedly helped her sit on the bench, "Daughter-in-law, have a good rest. The doctor said that you are an older pregnant woman and your health is not good, so you must not be tired."
When mentioning this, the landlady also looked scared. If it weren't for Congee's reminder, she would get up early every day and stay up late every day, and she might not be able to keep the child.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but squeeze the fetal protection charm in her hand.
"Let's go quickly and thank our benefactor."
"Uh-huh."
The two hurried back to the store and searched for a long time but couldn't find them, so they had to sigh with regret.
I haven't thanked her properly yet.
At this moment, under the overpass, Zouzhou got another steamed bun, and he and Mingtong sat on a stone, lowering their heads and nibbling.
Still not full.
It takes a lot of effort to beg for food, but when you get it, the last food is used up again.
Thinking about it, the movements of the porridge slowed down again, and he ate it with great care, chewing it ten times before swallowing it, trying to make the feeling of fullness stronger in this way.
This was what Mrs. Qin saw when she rushed over. The little girl was holding the steamed buns in her hands and chewing them carefully. She had a cautious look on her face and refused to let go of even the little scum. This made her feel suddenly.
Feeling sour, he quickly walked over and said, "Little benefactor!"
Congee was chewing on the steamed buns when a shadow suddenly cast in front of her. She looked up in confusion and saw Mrs. Qin. Her face suddenly lit up and she said, "Grandma, it's you."
As she said that, she moved her little butt to the side and patted the open space beside her with her little hand, "Grandma, sit down."
The little girl was soft and made people like her even more when she smiled. Old Mrs. Qin sat down happily. Butler Li originally wanted to stop her because she thought the ground was dirty, but when he saw the cold look she looked over, he stopped in place.
Turning her head to face Congee, Mrs. Qin suddenly smiled again, "My little benefactor, I'm here specifically to thank you. Thank you for saving me."
"You're welcome." Qi Zhou waved his little hand and puffed out his chest and said, "My master said that if you accumulate virtue and do good deeds, you will be rewarded. The abbot master also said that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."
The little girl's voice was sweet and soft, and her milk was squirting. Mrs. Qin liked it very much. When she saw the steamed bun in her hand, she hurriedly said: "I'll treat my little benefactor to a meal."
Invite her to dinner?
Porridge's ears twitched, "Are you full?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin was stunned and said, "Whatever!"
How could she not even be able to feed herself when she invited people to dinner?
Congee hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Grandma, I'm very good at eating. I can eat eighteen bowls of noodles in one meal."
Originally, eight bowls were enough, but the rice at the foot of the mountain was flashy and not as solid as the porcelain on the mountain. The bowls were large and lacked noodles, so she needed eighteen bowls to be full.
Hearing this, Mrs. Qin felt even more distressed. How long had my little benefactor been hungry?
"Don't worry, let alone eighteen bowls, I can afford even eighty bowls."
After saying that, she squeezed her little hand, pulled her up, and said kindly: "Let's go eat."
Mr. Qin also winked at Butler Li, telling him to quickly book a place.
Seeing this, Ming Tong, who was staring at them from the side, hurriedly came over and said, "Congee, there's me too."
Although I don’t know why they are looking for porridge, it is always right to follow them.
Congee raised his head and looked at Mrs. Qin inquiringly, looking at her eagerly.
Mrs. Qin waved her hand and said, "Let's go together!"
"Thank you, grandma." Congee looked up and smiled softly at her. The cuteness made Mrs. Qin feel soft in her heart, and she squeezed her hand quietly. It was so soft.
My little hands are wrinkled and a little swollen from washing dishes.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Qin felt even more distressed and walked faster.
Not long after, a few people arrived at a hotel. When they arrived, the round table was already filled with dishes. Porridge's eyes suddenly widened. There were so many!
She looked at Mrs. Qin and hesitated, "Grandma, these things are very expensive."
She just ate a few more bowls of noodles yesterday and spent the whole night washing dishes. After eating all this, her hands must have peeled off.
Thinking about it, she lowered her head and looked at her hands, then quietly put her back, looked up at her and said seriously: "Grandma, just treat me to some steamed buns. Steamed buns are cheap and filling."
Hearing this, Mrs. Qin also guessed what she was thinking. Thinking of her child washing so many dishes, she felt even more distressed. She held her in her arms and sat on the prepared children's chair, "It's okay, eat, and there will be ten more tables."
I can afford to invite all the grandmas from the Eight Tables, so don’t worry.”
She reassured her again and again, and then she felt relieved and started eating the porridge happily.
Mr. Qin was also very attentive. Hearing from the previous manager that they ate vegetarian noodles, he guessed that they only eat vegetarian food, so all the dishes he ordered were vegetarian.
I ate the porridge with a groan. I had been hungry all night, and my cheeks were bulging and moving, which made my heart become softer.
He is a really lovable child.
"Eat more." Madam Qin held the dish for her with a gentle expression and greeted her warmly.
"Uh-huh!" The porridge didn't bother to talk, and immersed itself in eating. It was delicious. This one was even more delicious than yesterday!
Brother Seventh is right, the food at the foot of the mountain is really delicious.
Not long after, the entire table was cleared. Looking at the completely empty plates, Zorridge scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and asked guiltily: "Grandma, did I eat too much?"
"No." Mrs. Qin was surprised when she saw how much she ate, but she didn't dislike it. She gently wiped the stain on her mouth with a tissue, "Are you full? Do you want some more?"
Porridge shook his head and touched his bulging belly, "I'm full. Thank you, grandpa and grandma, for inviting me to dinner."
"You're welcome, it's just a meal." Mrs. Qin couldn't help but touch her bare head. It was slippery and felt very good. She saw the little girl blinking and looking at her curiously. Her old face
I blushed, coughed slightly, and called the waiter to come in and pay.
From the corner of his eye, he noticed that the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, which made her even more amused.
It turns out that she was still worried that she couldn't afford it.
After swiping the card, she looked at what she was wearing and said: "Little benefactor, you saved me, I have to thank you very much. I haven't paid you for the medicine before. I want to buy more of that medicine."
I don’t know how much it is.”
money?
Ming Tong's eyes lit up, and he looked at them with his eyes. He could see at a glance that the clothes they were wearing looked simple, but in fact they were high-end. At first glance, they looked like rich people, and they were super rich.
, quickly gestured to Porridge.
Congee didn't know how much the medicine cost. She made it by herself from the herbs she dug from the mountains behind. She didn't spend a penny. When she saw the gesture Mingtong showed her, she suddenly understood.
She rolled her eyes, spread out her fingers, and said loudly: "Five yuan!"
