Chapter 15: After all the hardships and joys come happiness
Chapter 15: After all the hardships and joys come happiness
One month later, the disaster relief funds from the imperial court were finally allocated, and the various charitable deeds of the Shen family, Shen Yuxiu and others in the drought were also rewarded by the imperial court.The weather is still hot, but it's not so difficult anymore. At least the court didn't give up on them, did it?
One day, Chen Jiawang pushed the door out and found a bundle outside the door. When he got closer, there was a baby lying inside, not crying or fussing. Seeing Chen Jiawang, he even smiled at her.
Chen Jiawang quickly picked up the child, looked around, saw no one, and carried the child back.It's too hot today, leaving a baby out in the sun will kill someone.She cursed in her heart, being a parent is too wicked.
Shen Yuxiu was walking out, and saw Chen Jiawang hurrying towards the inner room, she didn't know what she was holding in her arms, she went straight to meet him, and seeing it was a child, she wondered: "Where did this child come from?"
"I just picked it up outside the door. These parents are too wicked!" The Chen family replied angrily.
"It's too early to draw conclusions!" Shen Yuxiu said as she looked at the child carefully. Except for the redness on the face, there seemed to be no other problems.
However, she is not a doctor after all, so she turned her head and told Liu Lu: "Liu Lu, go and invite a doctor over here."
"It's still Yuxiu who is thoughtful!" Chen Jiawang didn't worry about the child's parents, and teased the little one in the inner room, waiting for the doctor to arrive.
Seeing that she was having fun with the child, Shen Yuxiu seemed to feel something in her heart.

"Returning to Madam, the child has only suffered a little heat, and it is not serious, but due to lack of nutrition, the body and bones are weaker than ordinary babies." After the doctor checked the pulse, he bowed and said seriously.
"Then how to treat it?" Chen Jiawang asked anxiously when he heard that the little boy was in poor health.This child is well-behaved and lovable, Chen Jiawang doesn't want the little one to die young at all.
"I prescribed a tonic formula, supplemented by dietary conditioning, and it will recover within three years." The doctor replied sternly. He was a little strange in his heart. The family didn't look poor. Although he was curious, how could the child be undernourished? Zhiqu said nothing, took the money and left.
Knowing that there is a way to cure Xiao Budian's physical weakness, Chen Jiawang felt relieved, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
After Shen Yuxiu sent the doctor away, seeing Chen Jiawang's happy face deepened his thoughts and secretly sent someone to investigate the child's origin.
The news made Shen Yuxiu sigh. The child's father died suddenly while working at the dock, and the child's mother became seriously ill shortly after giving birth. She had no choice but to ask someone to take care of the child. Just throw her away.
She told Chen Jiawang the information she had found, and Chen Jiawang didn't feel a little bit emotional. In this world, if a boy is still likely to be left behind, a girl will only be treated like a weed and discarded.Fortunately, she met herself and Yuxiu!
"Yuxiu, let's keep the child!" Chen Jiawang looked at Shen Yuxiu expectantly, hoping that she would agree to him.
Chen Jiawang's wet eyes made Shen Yuxiu's heart soft. She had planned to do so, so she smiled and said, "Okay, it's all up to you."
Chen Jiawang happily kissed the little boy's little face, and looked at the little girl tenderly: "I will be your father from now on!"
"You have to give the child a name!" Seeing her overjoyed appearance, Shen Yuxiu reminded.
"Yes, name it." Chen Jiawang stood up abruptly, walking around the room rubbing his chin.After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stopped and said, "Single name one Xi, meaning hope."
"Chen Xi, Chen Xi." Shen Yuxiu read the name twice, feeling that the meaning was good, and nodded slightly: "Then call it Chen Xi!"
After deciding on the child's name, Chen Jiawang continued to make fun of it.Shen Yu watched from the sidelines, feeling more and more that this child would bring a lot of fun.
The next day, Yunyang County ushered in the rain since the beginning of summer.Although the rain did not fall heavily, it moistened the parched fields and revived the hearts of the people.
"Little Chen Xi, you are really our lucky star. It rained as soon as you came." Chen Jiawang stood under the eaves holding the little one, feeling the cool breeze blowing over her face, bringing a little bit of coolness.
"It's fine if you blow it yourself, how can you let little Chen Xi blow it with you, she's only a little older!" Chen's mother roared from behind her, knowing that she was wrong, Chen Jiawang could only watch helplessly as the little one came out of her arms. Li was carried away.As reluctant as that expression was, it was as reluctant as it could be.
Ever since they told Xiao BuDian of her life experience and their decision to keep Xiao BuDian, Chen's father and Chen mother took pity on Xiao Chen Xi and loved her very much, so the above scene happened.
Shen Yuxiu watched this scene from inside the door with a smile like a flower, and when she saw the little one being carried in by Chen's mother, she teased her from time to time.
Chen Jiawang entered the room with a depressed face. Seeing such a warm scene, his heart warmed. It would be great if it could go on like this forever.

Liu Guang is easy to throw people away, and it's Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye.This is not a Mid-Autumn Festival in the usual sense, it is the first Mid-Autumn Festival after the drought, and it is also the first Mid-Autumn Festival that Chen Jiawang spends here.
The moon is as round as a plate, hanging high in the sky; the moonlight is like water, caressing people away.
Under the bright moonlight, sadness appeared on Chen Jiawang's face.It should have been a happy day, but through the moonlight, she thought of her parents in another world.
I don't know what happened to them. They must be very anxious since they have been missing for so long.
Chen Jiawang wasn't around making noise, Shen Yuxiu felt a little uncomfortable, turned around and looked to the side, just in time to see her looking worried.Shen Yuxiu immediately understood that Chen Jiawang was homesick and missed her other home.
Gently holding her hand, although Shen Yuxiu didn't know why she was here in this capacity, fortunately, she was here!
The held hands made Chen Jiawang's thoughts return, she turned her head to meet Shen Yuxiu's eyes, her eyes clearly reflected herself, and the warmth in her heart rippled like ripples.That's enough. Even if she had the chance to choose, she would choose to stay. The people in that world had already been hurt once, and she couldn't let the people in this world feel that way.
"Yuxiu, after tonight, I want to tell you my secret." Chen Jiawang made a decision and told Shen Yuxiu that she would confess everything to her.
"En!" Shen Yuxiu nodded slightly, she knew that the person in front of her was about to reveal her last secret.But what's the difference between talking and not talking?Nothing will change.
The two stand side by side, and the figures on the ground are intertwined, and there is no distinction between you and me.
"Come over and eat mooncakes!" Chen's mother greeted them with her little one in her arms. Beside her were sitting Chen's father, Chen's younger sister who was eating happily with mooncakes, and Liu Lu muttering to herself.
Chen Jiawang and Shen Yuxiu looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards them. Everything is so beautiful, isn't it?
