Shi Xinhai didn't hold him back. After Dr. Cao returned, he immediately hitched the donkey cart and drove to the county town.
After all, the place where he picked up this little girl was the only way to the county town.
However, after he arrived in the county seat, he asked around, no matter whether it was a wealthy family or an ordinary family, he did not find out that any little girl was missing.
Unwilling to give up, he made another trip to the neighboring county, which took two days.
But at that time, Xinhai asked people to go to the Yamen to inquire, but they did not hear of any missing cases recently.
It had been almost three days since he came out, so he had no choice but to get into the donkey cart and prepare to go back.
However, when passing by the city gate, they encountered a mourning procession.
Shi Xinhai quickly rushed the donkey cart aside to make way for him, and glanced at the mourning team curiously.
I saw that the funeral procession was long and crowded, and the music and music were very lively.
Shi Xinhai couldn't help but quietly asked the wonton stall owner on the side: "Old man, whose house is this?"
The wonton stall owner glanced at Shi Xinhai and let out a laugh.
"You must not be from this county! This is the most famous Dou family in our county. The current head of the Dou family is a high official in the capital! Although the third wife of the Dou family lives here now, but
When a person achieves Taoism, a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven, even the county magistrate dares not offend her
Family. However, it is a pity that no matter how rich you are, you will still be subject to birth, old age, illness and death. The daughter of the third bedroom actually got a sudden illness. The third wife was such a daughter. It is said that she fainted from crying three times. Alas...
…!”
"Ah...so that's it."
Shi Xinhai couldn't help but sigh, "Girls are delicate, and it's really not easy to raise them."
After the mourning team had gone far away, Shi Xinhai drove the donkey cart back home.
When Xinhai left the city gate from the neighboring county, he hurried and hurried slowly. By the time he got home, it was already evening.
Three days ago, Huiniang waited for Shi Xinhai to leave home, then turned around and went back to the house.
"Do you remember your name?"
Huiniang looked at the little girl who was smiling at her and carefully observed the expression on her face.
"Mom, don't you remember Jiang'er's name?"
Shi Jiang tilted his head and made a puzzled expression.
When Hui Niang heard what Shi Jiang said, a confused expression flashed across her face, and she quickly straightened up.
"Mom's memory is not very good, Jiang Er forgot?"
"If Mom forgets it again in the future, Jiang Er will tell you again, okay?"
"good."
Hui Niang reached out and touched Shi Jiang's little head, smiled slightly and said.
"What about me? What about me? Call me Third Brother."
Shi Zheng stuck out his head from Hui Niang's back, sniffed, and looked at Shi Jiang with bright eyes.
He has always been the youngest in the family, but now he has found a sister who is younger than him. Shi Zheng is the happiest. Finally, he is no longer the youngest in the family.
"Mom, my brother still has a runny nose and is shorter than me. Why do you want me to call him third brother?"
Shi Jiang looked up and down at Shi Zheng, then turned to Hui Niang and asked in confusion.
Hearing Shi Jiang's words, Shi Zheng felt as if he had been hit directly in the knee by an arrow. He opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly.
"I'm not a younger brother, I'm your older brother, and I'm eight years old this year!"
"??I'm eight years old too! Mom, what's going on?"
Shi Jiang looked at Hui Niang with a question mark on his face, catching Hui Niang off guard.
"You...you are twins, yes, twins. Zheng'er is indeed the younger brother, and you are the elder sister."
Huiniang covered the mistress's mouth and showed a gentle smile to Shi Jiang.
After turning his head, he struggled desperately to save his mouth from the tiger's claws, and argued with Shi Jiang that he was his brother.
But I didn’t expect that the mother’s pressure was so strong that her mouth was always covered. Then she watched her mother softly order her sister to drink the medicine and rest soon, and then she dragged him from the second brother’s room.
came out.
"I'm telling you, you have to call me Sister Jiang'er from now on. Do you understand?"
Huiniang lowered her voice, frowned at her son, and gave serious instructions.
"Why? She is younger than me at first glance."
Shi Zheng was very unconvinced. As soon as he yelled loudly, his mother covered his mouth again and dragged him further before letting go.
"Just because they are taller than you, just because they are eight years old like you and don't have a runny nose, look at you, you are covered in dirt and you don't know where you rolled before you came back. Brat, let me tell you,
If you don't obey me, you can wash your clothes yourself from now on, otherwise you can just wear dirty clothes like this!"
Huiniang poked her youngest son's forehead hard with her finger and said to him fiercely.
Shi Zheng covered his forehead, feeling desperate when he thought about washing his own dirty clothes in the future.
Between being a younger brother and doing his own laundry, Shi Zheng shamefully chose to be a younger brother.
So, when Shi Xinhai came back three days later, Shi Zheng was really being directed by his new sister Shi Jiang!
"Dad, you're back!"
Shi Xinhai just got off the donkey cart and saw Xueyu's cute Shi Jiang, smiling towards him and rushing towards him.
Seeing such a cute and beautiful Shi Jiang, Shi Xinhai felt that his rough heart suddenly softened into water.
"Hey, hey, he's back, he's back!"
Shi Xinhai couldn't help but glance at Hui Niang who was standing aside. He saw Hui Niang give him a blank look and then said.
"You haven't brought Jiang Er in for dinner yet."
"Okay, Jiang'er, hahaha, good daughter, let's go eat."
Shi Xinhai held Shi Jiang's hand and strode toward the living room.
After eating, as soon as he returned to the house, Shi Xinhai told Huiniang everything about the past few days.
"Well, actually, since you haven't come back these two days, I've almost guessed it. Since we can't find anyone, let's treat her as our daughter and keep her for now! Don't let it slip. Jiang'er and Zheng'er are both the same.
When I was young, I was afraid that we wouldn’t be able to raise Jiang Er together, so I left Jiang Er in the temple to raise her. Now that she is older, I brought her back!”
"Okay, I'll listen to you, ma'am. However, Jiang'er is so good-looking and doesn't look like me at all. Can others believe it?"
Huiniang gave him an angry look and replied angrily.
"Let's just say that her niece looks like an uncle, and my brother is not bad looking."
Hearing what his wife said, Shi Xinhai rubbed his head and laughed.
"My wife is much prettier than my uncle. I don't need to look like my uncle. I just say I look like you!"
In Shi Xinhai's opinion, Shi Jiang was as fair as his own wife, so good-looking people always have similarities.
Shi Jiang was lying on the bed, listening to the conversation between Shi Xinhai and Huiniang. He smiled slightly, took out another fifth of the remaining elixir from the space and threw it into his mouth. This body was always too weak.
