Chapter 58
Gu Xin looked at a few people, but no one stood up. It seemed that they were all orphans, so that was easy to deal with.
"Then have you sold yourself to others?" Gu Xin asked again
"My uncle and aunt are going to sell me and marry my cousin, and I ran out of the house." A little girl said
"Where is your home, but there are still others." Gu Xin said
"I don't know where my home is. My parents passed away and my uncle moved in. They always asked me to work and didn't give me food. That day I overheard them saying they sold me to my cousin to get married, and I ran out." The little girl said.
I said I don’t want your own self-selling, but you can only settle here at my home, and settle in the name of my father’s adopted son and daughter. If you agree, you will follow me to settle in the village chief in a while.
The children were very happy, and they thought they would be slaves even if they didn't have to sell themselves.
There was only one child who had never spoken. Gu Xin thought he was a mute, so he didn't make things difficult for him.
"Girl Kobayashi can speak but Kobayashi's teeth." Alan said without saying anything
"Kobayashi, right? Open your mouth and I'll look at your teeth." Gu Xin pulled the little boy to the front and said in a gentle tone.
The boy was about nine years old, and perhaps inspired by Gu Xin, he opened his mouth slightly to Gu Xin, but closed his eyes as if he was waiting for a judgment.
This is a jagged teeth, which looks scary, just like a ghost baring his teeth.
You may be scared to others, but Gu Xin, who specializes in watching ghost movies in modern times, doesn't take it seriously at all.
Without the screams and fears that he imagined, Kobayashi opened his eyes and happened to see Gu Xin's gentle eyes.
"This should be the new teeth that grow after the teeth are removed. You can correct them if you have nothing to do." Gu Xin patted the boy's shoulder and said,
"Can it really be cured?" The boy's voice was a little hoarse, but he was very excited.
"Don't worry! My sister said yes, it's certainly possible. In the future, we will be a family. We should talk to everyone often, and no one will dislike you." Gu Xin said.
"Yeah!" Kobayashi nodded vigorously, his eyes slightly red.
"Okay, everyone and I go to the village chief's house," Gu Xin said
Gu Xin led a group of children to the village chief's house in a mighty manner. When he saw Gu Xin coming, he was really panicked. This girl was really not used to losing weight. If she hadn't looked like her mother when she was young, she would have thought she had picked it up.
"Uncle, I'm here to settle these children." Gu Xin said
"Girl, it's not easy to raise so many people in your family." said village chief Zhou Jianbo.
"Uncle, I know that these children have no place to live, and I can't give them wealth and wealth, and I can have no worries about food and clothing." Gu Xin said.
"It's not difficult for these children to settle here, but they just settle in what name they have," said the village chief.
"I have already decided to do it. It's all on my father's household registration. Sheng'er is in my name and will be my adopted son and daughter from now on." Gu Xin said.
"Nonshuo, you are an unmarried girl, what are you adoptive sons?" said the village chief.
"Uncle, I'm not making a fuss, I'm happy to have Sheng'er with my parents." Gu Xin said
"It's really good to have Sheng'er in your mother's situation, so you don't have to be scared by your name," said the village chief.
"Okay, thank you uncle, please help me settle down. How much money do you need? Uncle, you said." Gu Xin really didn't want Moji.
"About fifty taels of silver, I will register later and tell you about my age and name." The village chief said.
When Gu Xin heard the names of these children, she felt that there were stories behind these children, but she was not easy to ask if they didn't tell them.
"Sister, can my surname be Gu?" Kobayashi recalled the weak voice.
"Yes, you will be called Gu Tianyou from now on." Gu Xin always thought that Xiaolin was his name, but she didn't expect that it was her surname. She didn't know what Xiaolin had encountered, and even had to change her surname. Since she took it in, she would be her family in the future.
"Miss, I want to change my surname Gu, too," said Alan.
Alan's original name was Fu Lanxin, and it sounded like this name was not chosen by ordinary families.
"Okay, I'll say who else wants to change his name. After my uncle transfers the property in the yamen, he can't change it." Gu Xin said
"Girl, we'll change it too." The sisters came out.
Among the twelve children, there are seven girls, five boys, the oldest one is twelve years old, and today I gave Gu Xin water.
The two sisters are called Qian Yuyao and Qian Yuyan, both of whom are eight years old. The two children are twins, and twins are a disaster in the big family. Only one can live or one can be sent away. Gu Xin doesn't know how these two children fell into the ruined temple.
"Girls, we also change our surnames, and ask the girl to give her a name." The oldest child is named Eleven and two other boys, one is called Twenty-six and one is called Twenty-seven, one is eight years old and the other is seven years old.
Gu Xin was a little strange when he heard this name. It was not a name, but it looked like a code name.
"Haha, okay! But I'm really not good at giving this name. Uncle, you are the most knowledgeable person in the village. Please help them." Gu Xin bowed and bowed deeply to Zhou Jianbo.
"What are you doing with such a great gift? Don't you just give me a name?" Everyone doesn't like to listen to the words that praise people, so do literati.
"Why don't you come and thank your gentleman, you will be your gentleman's students from now on. Remember to listen to your gentleman." Gu Xin turned his eyes to Alan.
"Mr. Xie" Alan and several children said to Zhou Jianbo
"You girl, you are also jealous of your uncle." Zhou Jianbao glared at Gu Xin and said, pretending to be angry.
"Uncle, you see that they have good qualifications. Maybe they will become pillars of the country that day, and it will be your credit for you." Gu Xin said.
"I just knew that you would give your uncle a high hat and let them come to school tomorrow. I'll settle for them later. By the way, your master is a man, and he is kind to the village. This time you have to leave the old man in the village to enjoy your old age." Zhou Jianbo said
"I know uncle, I'll go back first." Gu Xin left Zhou Jiangong 100 taels of silver for settlement and tuition, and then took a group of children home.
The village chief even forgot that Gu Xin had lost weight. The matter of Tudou and his loss was brought down by Shen Yi, the master who appeared, so he had to talk to Shen Yi for a long time.
When he returned home, Gu Xin said to these children, "This will be your home from now on. I am your sister, and my parents are your parents. I will never be called a lady or a master. In the future, I will hear anyone who calls me a girl or a lady, but I just don't recognize me as my sister."
"Sister, we know," Alan said, knowing that Gu Xin was telling her what she said.
"Okay, go back, Alan, wait, will you do needlework?" Gu Xin said.
"Sister Alan can do it" Alan replied
"Sister, we will do it," said a twelve-year-old girl and eleven-year-old girl.
The twelve-year-old girl is called Ye Qingqing, and the eleven-year-old girl is called Tao Caiwei.
