After waiting for Qiao Chu to wash her face, Cao Ya was about to make breakfast. Qiao Chu stopped her: "Wait a minute."
Cao Ya stopped and looked at Qiao Chu, and subconsciously began to rub the corners of her clothes.
This is tense.
Qiao Chu called her over: "Since you have become a member of our family now, I have to explain some situations clearly to you."
"Yeah." Cao Ya nodded, extremely well-behaved, and smiled again.
"What was your original name?" Qiao Chu asked.
"Cao Ya." After Cao Ya finished speaking, she was afraid that Qiao Chu wouldn't understand, so she explained, "My surname is Ge, and I don't have a real name. My parents, uncles, and aunts all call me Cao Ya. They say it's a nickname so I can make a living."
"Then I will give you a name today, Xing'er. Xing'er from the stars in the sky. You will be called Ge Xing'er from now on. From now on, you don't have to worry about what others think of you, or how powerful others are, or how corrupted they are.
No, you just have to be yourself, do your own thing well, and be your own person."
Qiao Chu didn't care whether Ge Xing'er could understand it or not, he explained the truth to her and let her slowly understand it on her own.
Ge Xing'er stared in confusion after hearing this. After Qiao Chu finished speaking, she only saluted: "I remember, madam."
Yes, Ge Xinger did not understand it, but she remembered it for the rest of her life.
"Since you have become a member of my family, from today on, you cannot tell anyone about the affairs of my family, and you cannot tell your uncle and aunt. Can you do this?" Qiao Chu said solemnly.
Ge Xinger did not answer immediately, but carefully digested Qiao Chu's words before nodding: "I can do it."
"That's good." Qiao Chu nodded, went to the kitchen, and took out a basket of juicy vegetables and fruits from the cabinet (the Immortal Mansion Space).
"Here are today's dishes and fruits. There are beef, mutton and game in the yard outside. You can watch how these dishes are cooked." Qiao Chu finished explaining and turned away.
"Yes..." Ge Xing'er's eyes widened and she murmured in agreement.
In Qiao Chu's room, Dongfang Shuyuan came over and asked in a low voice: "Is it okay?"
"Just watch." Qiao Chu didn't care: if this person is not useful, he can just send it back to the capital and sell it.
Qiao Chu does not raise white-eyed wolves.
However, judging from Ge Xing'er's previous words and deeds, she shouldn't be a white-eyed wolf.
Ge Xing'er's cooking skills are really good. She made two dishes and one soup for breakfast, one meat and one vegetarian, plus a meat and vegetable soup, and the fruits were washed and brought out.
"Madam, the food is ready. It's time to start eating." Ge Xing'er set the food and prepared to go back to the kitchen.
Qiao Chu stopped her: "Hey, wait a minute."
Ge Xing'er stopped and began to rub his clothes unconsciously: "Have you done anything wrong?"
"Sit down and eat together." Qiao Chu pointed at the table.
"Ah?" Ge Xing'er thought she heard wrongly.
"Sit down and eat." Qiao Chu pointed to the table opposite him.
After the meal, Ge Xing'er almost ate white rice, and didn't even dare to add vegetables to the dishes on the table.
When Qiao Chu saw this rhythm, she stopped forcing her. After eating, there was only a third of the food left, and she said, "If you can't finish these, just throw them away. Our family doesn't eat leftovers."
"
"Ah?" Ge Xing'er could hardly believe her ears: It was actually thrown away? Such a good meal was actually thrown away?!
Qiao Chu nodded: "The food in this house cannot leave the yard. Do you understand this?"
Ge Xing'er nodded: "I understand, there are vegetables in it. We can't let people know that we have such a rare vegetable. I won't tell anyone when I go out, and I won't send it to my uncle and aunt's house."
If Qiao Chu hadn't told her in advance, Ge Xing'er really wanted to send the remaining meals to her uncle and aunt's house. Several of her cousins at home hadn't eaten fresh vegetables for months...
Qiao Chu then asked Ge Xinger to remove the food.
Not long after, Dongfang Shuyuan came in and looked for Qiao Chu with a snicker on her face: "You are still smart, she was afraid of wasting it and ate all the remaining food."
"Yeah." Qiao Chu nodded.
She had asked and found out that Ge Xing'er was actually eleven years old, but her nutrition was not up to par, and she looked like she was only eight or nine years old.
Now that she has become a member of her family, she cannot be harsh on her.
After breakfast, Qiao Chu led Ge Xing'er to find Boss Ge and his wife, asking for help in handling the contract.
This market is still some distance from the Yamen. The snow is thick now, the weather is cold, and the Chinese New Year is about to come, so no one is doing anything in the Yamen.
After coming out of the middleman, Qiao Chu met Mr. Ma. He heard that Qiao Chu had bought a girl. He looked at Ge Xing'er who was following Qiao Chu in surprise. He didn't say anything, but he felt strange in his heart.
Based on his relationship with Chen Qingshan, if Qiao Chu wanted to buy a girl, he would just tell him directly.
She was familiar with everything in the market, so why did she just buy it without asking herself?
With this doubt, Mr. Ma went home and casually mentioned it to his wife. Mrs. Ma's face changed when she heard it: "What? Did she buy a girl? Or is it Ge Laoyer's niece?"
"Yeah." Mr. Ma saw something was wrong from Mrs. Ma's face: Why was she reacting so hard?
After thinking about it, Mr. Ma frowned and looked at his wife: "Your reaction is wrong. Did you do something behind my back?"
Mrs. Ma was startled and hurriedly waved her hands: "How could it be possible? Haha! Haha..."
"Have you forgotten the lesson I taught you last time?" Master Ma stared at his wife and reminded her in a deep voice.
Mrs. Ma was stunned for a moment, and then she hesitated to tell her plan: "...I just thought that her father-in-law is great, but it's not her who is great. She doesn't know how to do housework, let alone serve a man. We
Xiao Yu has followed me in the kitchen since she was a child, learning how to run a household and know how to serve people, or else she could become a concubine for Chen Qingshan..."
In fact, I just feel that Qiao Chu is not a qualified wife, and my own daughter is more outstanding.
"You're confused!" Mr. Ma sighed in frustration!
Although he had never seen Qiao Chu kill people and cut firewood, but on the day when his mother-in-law came to make trouble, the mother-in-law was so slapped that she almost became crippled, so it was obvious that she was not easy to deal with!
This can also understand why Qiao Chu wanted to buy a maid to cook at home.
This is directly blocking the mouth of my mother-in-law!
"Remember this! This matter ends here. You must not make your own decisions anymore!" Master Ma warned sternly.
"Oh..." Mrs. Ma was so frightened that she leaned back.
Over there, Qiao Chu finished the formalities and took Ge Xing'er to buy some clothes, shoes and socks, and some daily necessities for home, before returning home.
Ge Xing'er didn't dare to wear the new clothes when she saw them: she hadn't worn new clothes for several years, let alone a coat with thick new cotton?!
She simply didn't dare to touch it!
"This is what I bought for you. Who else among us can wear it except you?" Qiao Chu said with a smile, "What you are wearing is also for my face. I can't take you out with you in disgrace and showing your hands and feet?"
"
"Yes." Ge Xinger put on her new cotton-padded clothes and shoes in a daze.
But not long after, Qiao Chu saw her put on old clothes again.
"What? You don't like it?" Qiao Chu was surprised.

There will be another update in the evening.
If you still have votes, vote now.
Well, everyone, let me prove that I am making progress in asking for votes, asking for votes every day, every day.
Although I didn’t bang the basin and shout, “I’m a senior and a junior, please give some to the older brothers and sisters who pass by.” But these few words were still asking for votes!
Then after I finish praying, whether my grades are good or not is not because I am not motivated, right?
