Chapter 255 The idea of adoption
Bai Jingzhi had a very comfortable nap.
She was awakened by the noise outside.
"Oh no, I forgot to call someone." Bai Jingzhi suddenly opened his eyes. Zhou Yue'e was still resting in the space villa. She overslept and forgot to bring someone out.
"Jingzhi, are you awake? Don't worry." Zhou Yue'e's voice came from outside the curtain.
Bai Jingzhi then breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was her father who brought the person out, so no one should have noticed.
"What time is it now?"
The room had only one small window, letting in a little light.
"It's just daybreak now, and there are too many people here. Do you want to eat the first pot or eat later?"
Zhou Yue'e came back from outside and rubbed her hands vigorously.
"Is there not enough big iron pots? Are there a lot of people?"
Bai Jingzhi remembered that they collected about ten large iron pots along the way, which was more than enough to cook meals for more than three hundred people.
"There are also the captured pirates, about a hundred of them. In the innermost part there is a very simple wooden house, that's where they live."
Zhou Yue'e only found out this morning that three hundred pirates arrived just a few days after they left. If Gu Tinglou had not appeared, all these people would have been killed.
"Oh, I forgot about that. I'll eat later. Sister Yue'e, go get busy first."
Bai Jingzhi silently took out the notebook from the space, turned on the solar light, and added a few lines of words to the personnel section.
Her mother mentioned this matter to her a few days ago. When she came back yesterday, she didn't see those people and she neglected it for a while.
These pirates were said to have escaped from the sea, and the Yu family was paying people to hunt them down.
Bai Jingzhi didn't have a good impression of these people.
They killed people without mercy and had no sense of right or wrong.
You can't use peaceful means to deal with these people.
Bai Jing was the only one left in the room, and she had more things to think about.
"Girl, why don't you go downstairs to eat after you wake up? How long will it take for the next pot to come?" Old Mrs. Bai climbed up carefully from the first floor, holding a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun in her hand.
She is old and doesn't sleep on the second floor with the people in Mr. Bai's family at night.
Since everyone slept on the floor, she simply rolled up her bedding and went to sleep on the first floor by the fire.
"Grandma, why did you bring it up here? I'll go downstairs and eat it myself later. Go eat quickly, or you'll get a cold meal and feel uncomfortable."
Except for the fact that she disliked Old Lady Bai when she first met her at the Bai family, her care throughout the journey made her fall in love with the little old lady in front of her.
She has no grandmother, her grandparents died early, and she doesn't know how to get along with female elders.
During the long journey, the two of them developed a deep affection for each other as grandparents and grandchildren.
"Grandma is a person whose body will be buried in the ground, so she doesn't care about those things anymore. But you are thirteen or fourteen years old, but you still look like you are ten years old. You should take advantage of the time to settle down and make up for it."
Old Lady Bai lifted the mattress on the bed, put the rice bowl on the bed, and stuffed the steamed bun into Bai Jingzhi's hand. "Eat quickly. There are some slices of meat wrapped in the bun for you."
Bai Jingzhi blinked and held back his tears, "Grandma is always the best to me."
"That's right! Your father is a careless person who only cares about himself, and your mother only cares about her nephews and nieces. Our Jingzhi has become an orphan."
Although Old Mrs. Bai didn't say it directly, she was dissatisfied with the couple in her heart.
"It's enough that grandma loves me. I will also be filial to grandma in the future." Bai Jingzhi broke off a piece of steamed bun and stuffed it into the hands of old lady Bai, "Let's eat together."
Just then, the sound of footsteps was heard on the stairs again.
"Jingzhi, eat it while it's hot." Zhou Yue'e found that Old Lady Bai was also there after she entered the room. "Grandma, you are here."
She brought another portion and saw the dishes and chopsticks on the bed, only to realize that her grandmother had brought the meal before her.
"Sister Yue'e, let's eat together." Bai Jingzhi felt relieved. After she came here, there were still two natives who loved her. She was very satisfied.
In her original world, she had few relatives.
I attended an aristocratic school when I was young and started living in the school boarding house at a very young age.
The relationship between her and her parents is not as deep as that between her and her classmates.
Most of the time she doesn't look forward to the holidays.
Every time she had a holiday, she felt the air around her was cold when she stayed in the empty house.
Her aunt prepared three meals for her. Except for meal times, she stayed in her bedroom reading.
After Wei Hongmian's accident, she disliked holidays even more.
In her original world, the time she spent with her parents was far less than the time she had spent with them in the past few months.
The three of them stopped talking. The grandparents and grandchildren ate quietly. The only sound in the room was the sound of soft chewing.
Zhou Yue'e had already eaten downstairs and was tidying up the quilts on several beds.
"Yue'e, grandma has an idea to let you be adopted by your uncle. Are you willing?"
Old Mrs. Bai said this just after she finished eating.
Zhou Yue'e was a little scared, "Grandma, this is inappropriate, right? My parents won't agree."
She is willing to do so, but the Zhou family may not be willing to do so.
Her fate has changed, and things will only get better in the future. Her relatives may not let go.
The benefit is that what you hold in your hands is yours, and she has experienced this deeply these days.
Zhou Yue'e followed Bai Jingzhi in and out, and others were very envious.
Although Old Mrs. Zhou didn't say it, her mind had already changed.
They won't let go easily.
In the few months since Zhou Yue'e returned, she has not developed any feelings.
Old Mrs. Zhou always treated her with disdain. Whenever she wanted to resist, her mother would cry and talk about filial piety beside her.
She was always looking forward to her salvation. If it didn't come, she had made up her mind to return to Wugui Mountain overnight.
After eating and drinking, Old Mrs. Bai expressed her plan in front of her two sisters.
"It would be good for her to be adopted by my aunt! She gave birth to two sons, so she shouldn't be that averse to having a daughter."
Now Bai Jingzhi also has a good impression of Xiao Wang.
"Yue'e, if you are willing, I will take care of this matter. As an old lady, I just want to see you live a good life while I am still here..."
Old Mrs. Bai's words touched both sisters.
"Grandma, life will definitely get better. Let my mother take care of your body in a few days. You must live well and enjoy the wealth and glory I have earned for you."
Bai Jingzhi's words were sincere. Old Mrs. Bai thought she was joking, but Zhou Yue'e believed what she said was true.
"Okay, grandma, wait and enjoy yourself." Old Mrs. Bai's face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and her clothes were empty. Bai Jingzhi felt a little sad when he saw it.
Life was not easy for people in ancient times.
They were relatively lucky. In this year of famine, they had managed to settle down and had no worries about food for the time being.
Countless refugees fell on the road, but they were the lucky ones who survived.
Whether we can gain a firm foothold depends on the beginning of spring. As long as we can grow crops here, everything is possible.
Bai Jingzhi is very confident in his profession.
The three of them went downstairs together, but were startled by the noise outside, "Who is fighting?"
"It's not a fight. It's Miss Yu venting her anger."
