It was great that the kid actively interacted with him. The flight attendant was immediately attracted by the sound. At a glance, he saw that he was an honest father taking care of his kids.
It’s easy to sell—the flight attendant’s first reaction when he saw Bai Qingyu.
But when he got closer, he realized that the interacting cubs were too small, and adults might not be willing to give them snacks. He also realized that the father and son were living in poverty. Their clothes were washed white, and they were all from the last century. Under such circumstances, it would be sinful to take advantage of children's greedy mouths to sell food. The flight attendant smiled and said: "You can try it for free. If it tastes good, buy it again."
He took out a milk clam and put it in Bai Xiaocha's hand, "Uncle gave it to you."
Bai Xiaocha's eyes lit up, and he curled his fingers around Naibei: "Thank you, uncle."
"Children who don't cry or make trouble are great, give them another reward."
"Oh?!" Is there a reward for not crying? Bai Xiaocha opened his mouth slightly, as if he was dazzled by the sweetness of the extra candy, and even he became like a soft toffee.
"Oh, how cute." The flight attendant sighed as he headed to the next carriage.
Bai Qingyu: "Thank you."
"Thank you, uncle -" Bai Xiaocha stood on Bai Qingyu's lap, holding up the back of the chair to watch. Then he sat down and opened his small palms, one on each side. He looked around and saw that they were all the same size, "Dad, please Which one? ”
Bai Qingyu took the left one, tore it open and gave it to Bai Xiaocha.
Bai Xiaocha looked out the window for a while with milk in her mouth, then fell asleep in her father's arms.
It was just the time to change from the hard seat to the hard sleeper. Bai Qingyu picked up the backpack, hugged the baby, and slowly moved several carriages, found the sleeper position, and put the sleeping Bai Xiaocha on the lower bunk.
The small group leaned in the corner, and there was room for two more adults on the lower bunk.
Bai Qingyu took out half-hooked woolen shoes from the backpack. They were slightly larger than Bai Xiaocha's current foot size, so they would be suitable for wearing them this winter.
This is a newly learned technique for him, and the hook is relatively slow.
The aunt on the bed opposite looked at it for a while, rubbed her hands and said, "Let me help you. I happen to have a little itchiness on my hands. I can tick all the patterns."
Bai Qingyu was stunned and handed her the crochet hook: "Thank you, sister."
He brought two crochet hooks, one for each shoe.
The two of them were busy doing crafts. When night fell, Bai Xiaocha's baby already had a pair of cotton shoes. Bai Xiaocha didn't wake up during the trip, and Bai Qingyu didn't feed him anything. It was time to change carriages the next day. .
The eldest brother in the upper bunk lay down and browsed short videos as soon as he got in the car. He came down to use the toilet before going to bed. He glanced at the child in the lower bunk and frowned. He put on his headphones and turned up the volume in defiance. He didn't want to hear the child. scream.
The train was clanging all night long. The eldest brother on the upper bunk couldn't sleep well and was anxiously waiting for the crying child below. However, after waiting all night, he didn't wait. Instead, the others packed up their things in a clear and refreshing manner, which showed his unfounded worries. .
At this moment, the eldest sister who was crocheting with Bai Qingyu said to the eldest sister on the bed: "Are you getting off the car?"
Bai Qingyu: "I'll change to a hard seat in another hour. There are still three stops."
The eldest sister said to the bed: "Then you wake up the child and feed him some milk before going over. Our berth has a lot of space. You go and make milk, and I will watch over you for a while."
"Uh..." Bai Qingyu was stuck, because Bai Xiaocha had never drank milk. He said vaguely: "I was in a hurry when I went out. I forgot to bring milk powder. It's okay. I got off the car and fed her."
In principle, tea god cubs can survive on sunlight, rain and dew, but they grow slowly. If you want your body to grow faster, you have to eat human food. But if you eat and drink, you will have diarrhea. If you don't eat or drink on the train, you will just die. Sunbathing is the best policy.
"It's still three hours before we get off the bus." The eldest sister across the bed said: "The child must be starving. You are so careless. How can you tell your wife? Go to the dining car to buy a bottle of pure milk and scald it with boiling water."
< br>
Bai Qingyu was embarrassed, not because he felt sorry for the money, but because he was afraid that Bai Xiaocha would wet his bed after drinking milk, and the train was not his own bed. He pretended to push Bai Xiaocha, "Baby, wake up."
Bai Xiaocha didn't wake up, so Bai Qingyu innocently said to her eldest sister: "I slept too deeply. I will cry when I wake up."
Fuck... The elder brother on the upper bunk tightened his temples, and the short video of abduction and trafficking that he had just viewed immediately appeared in front of his eyes.
At first glance, this child has never endured hardship. He is fair and fair, with a face so tender that you can pinch out milk. He looks completely different from "his father". He has not been awake or fed for more than ten hours. How can such a rough and delicate child be raised? Baby?
The eldest brother, relying on his body shape to be 1.5 times stronger than Bai Qingyu, said bluntly: "Did he sleep too deeply or did you give him sleeping pills? Is this your child?"
Bai Qingyu was stunned. He had seen sleeping pills on TV, but he didn't have them. He explained, "I didn't give him any pills. He just loves to sleep."
Big brother: "Then wake him up."
Bai Qingyu: "It will disturb everyone."
Big brother: "I'm not afraid of noise, just prove that you didn't give him sleeping pills."
The elder sister on the other side of the bed helped Bai Qingyu explain: "Did you misunderstand me? The young man is an honest person at first glance."
Big brother: "It is this kind of person who is inconspicuous in the crowd who is suitable to be a human trafficker."
At 6:30 in the morning, the flight attendants patrolled the carriages one by one to wake up the passengers who were about to get off the train. When they heard the arguments and keywords, they asked Bai Qingyu to show his ID card.
The scene at the security checkpoint was repeated, and Bai Qingyu once again proved his identity.
Flight attendant: "It's someone else's child."
Although the misunderstanding was resolved, everyone agreed that Bai Qingyu should still wake up the child to breastfeed.
The flight attendant said: "The sleeper berth is indeed more convenient."
The eldest brother in the upper bunk bed looked at the photos on Bai Qingyu's phone. He seemed to have unintentionally exposed the embarrassment of the father and son. The honest father may have been vague because he had no money to buy milk on the train. The eldest brother took out a carton of milk from his bag and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."
Bai Qingyu thought that Bai Xiaocha would not wake up if she had not slept enough, but it was difficult to refuse such kindness, so she could only snap her fingers in Bai Xiaocha's ear, "Wake up."
A minute later, Bai Xiaocha sucked the milk, took a sip, paused, put the milk carton on the table between the two beds, stretched out his head with his hands, raised his head hard and said to the elder brother on the upper bunk, "Thank you, uncle."
He took another breath and said, "Thank you, uncle."
As soon as the eldest brother on the upper bunk lowered his head, he saw the starry eyes of the cub's hard-working eyes, and became more and more certain that Bai Xiaocha was hungry, "No matter how hard it is, you can't hurt the child."
Bai Qingyu: "Brother is right."
Bai Xiaocha shook the milk carton, and there was still half a bottle left. He raised it in front of his father: "Dad, drink."
Neither father nor son had eaten. Bai Qingyu had been the God of Tea for a long time and could eat or not. However, Bai Xiaocha was brought to the human world after he was born and lived and ate with Uncle Deng. He was a greedy baby who didn't like food. Refuse.
Bai Qingyu pretended to take a sip and turned the straw to Bai Xiaocha: "One mouthful for each person."
Bai Xiaocha felt that this bottle of milk was so much that his stomach bulged from drinking it.
The eldest brother on the upper bunk watched secretly and became even more ashamed that he was so poor but still raised his child to be polite and well-behaved. When he accused Bai Qingyu, he felt like he was eating minced meat.
He thought of his own child, who was not yet one and a half years old and could only ask for old man Ken, but other people's children could give back full emotional value to him for a bottle of milk.
After Bai Xiaocha drank enough, he sat in the corner of the lower bunk in a small group, holding the cotton shoes like a stuffed doll and playing with them, pressing them against the left cheek and then against the right cheek.
The woolen yarn Bai Qingyu bought was soft and velvety and felt very good.
My sister felt distressed again, "Where do you live? Give me your address, and I'll send you my grandson's toys later. He hasn't played with them since he was ten years old, but they are new."
Bai Qingyu: "Thank you, you don't have to give him toys. I will buy them for him when I rent a house in Nancheng."
"Then leave your contact information and look for a house first."
Bai Qingyu was extremely grateful. He had nothing to give. To repay kindness outside, God should be more generous. Bai Qingyu thought about it and gave Bai Xiaocha's ration, a bucket of local eggs, For big brothers and sisters.
The eldest brother in the upper bunk said that he was on a business trip and could not boil eggs.
Bai Qingyu looked at the eldest sister across from him. The eldest sister loves to talk and said that this trip is the way home, but there is no reason to refuse.
"Oh, you keep it for yourself."
"A little thought, the free-range chickens I raise myself lay eggs, which are very fragrant." Bai Qingyu plans to raise chickens in the city to lay eggs for Bai Xiaocha if possible.
"——Okay."
……
At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, the train arrived at the terminal. Bai Qingyu carried her son on her back and followed the map she had checked, heading towards the job market.
"Dad, look." Bai Xiaocha was playing and suddenly took out two red tickets from his cotton shoes. These shoes can turn into money!
Bai Qingyu was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was probably the enthusiastic elder sister who had untied her shoes and stuffed them in, giving Bai Xiaocha a red envelope.
There are so many good people in the world.
Bai Qing said: "Auntie gave it to you. Hide it and buy you food later."
"Okay." Bai Xiaocha obediently stuffed the money back into his shoes, stuffing it all the way inside without losing it.
Bai Qingyu adjusted the rope of the basket on her back, and her eyes were suddenly attracted by the small advertisement for rent on the distribution box.
[Close to the subway, two bedrooms and one living room, rent for 9,000 for the whole unit] [2,600 for a single room in a Roman community] [800 for a 10-square-meter large space in the basement] [3,000 for subletting one bedroom and one living room]......
Well, so expensive! It is indeed a first-tier big city!
In their village, you can rent a small house with a yard for only 200 yuan!
Bai Qingyu touched the money in his pocket. He seemed to be able to only live in the basement, which was not good. Little Chacha would not grow tall. His baby grows slowly, so he needs to choose a place with suitable lighting and receive regular sunlight to grow up healthily.
Speaking of which, he doesn't have to rent a house. He can live in a park and absorb the essence of the sun and moon, but he will get sick if he soaks in the rain for a long time, or he can live under a bridge?
Bai Qingyu adjusted his straps and calmly looked away from the rental advertisement. His current goal was to find a job in housing.
Bai Qingyu came here three days ago after doing her homework through Nancheng TV station. At the market one kilometer east of the train station, Nancheng Liuqing District took the lead in co-organizing a job fair, mainly targeting special groups with employment difficulties and farmers who have just entered the city. work.
Bai Qingyu had a lot of luggage and it was difficult to squeeze in, so he stood on the outside and observed first.
At this time, a professional woman in her mid-thirties with a nameplate on her chest, followed by an assistant, walked towards Bai Qingyu.
"We must pay attention to the difficulties of special groups of people and provide appropriate guidance—" the woman paused.
"District chief?" The assistant followed the gaze of his boss, Ms. He Ying, and saw an honest man who hesitated. The blue cloth on his body and the Jiefang shoes on his feet were incompatible with the metropolis. Facing the crowds of people coming and going, At the recruitment site, his eyes were confused and his fingers nervously rubbed the straps of his backpack.
The assistant thought about what his boss said and took the initiative to ask: "Hello, do you need any help?"
Bai Qingyu: "Hello, I'm here to find a job."
The assistant pointed to the "Employment Consultation Office" on the left, "If you don't have a clear plan yet, you can go there and ask an expert for employment direction."
Bai Qingyu grabbed the strap of the backpack: "Okay, thank you." "Thank you, sister." Bai Xiaocha looked outside through the gap in the backpack. He couldn't see anyone in the wrong direction, so he repeated his father's milky voice.
The assistant was surprised: "Is there a child in your backpack?"
Bai Qingyu: "Well, I have to take care of my children while working."
"Ah..." The assistant looked embarrassed. This would make it difficult to find a job.
Bai Xiaocha piled up the cushions and quilts under his feet, pulled hard, and finally his head popped out of the edge of the basket. He secretly pushed away the sunshade cloth, revealing half of his face - he didn't need sunshade, but Bai Qingyu I am afraid that my ID card will be checked three times a day, which will delay my job search.
He Ying glanced over inadvertently and paused. This child... Why did she feel that the upper half of this child's face looked familiar to her.
Bai Xiaocha hooked his toes on the bamboo stick and kicked hard, exposing his whole face. It was too boring to be covered by the tarpaulin. He was like a little snail trying to get out of its shell.
He Ying's eyes were fixed on his face - the upper half of his face was very familiar, but the round baby fat on both cheeks diluted the familiarity.
The assistant said to Bai Qing: "You are so young. If you send your child to daycare, it will be easy to find a job."
He Ying glanced at the assistant, do you know how much childcare in Nancheng costs?
He Ying asked Bai Qingyu: "Have you graduated from high school? What do you know?"
"Nanny? Sanitation worker? Gardener? Chef, washing dishes..." Bai Qingyu mentioned a series of competitive professions. He has good physical strength and will definitely be able to do a good job.
As for academic qualifications, Bai Qingyu was a little ashamed. Tea God never went to school. He only read and read in the divine realm, and learned about the human world by watching TV series with Uncle Deng.
"I haven't read a book...but I am literate and can use a smartphone." Bai Qingyu said neither humble nor overbearing.
You know how to run home when it rains, right? The assistant pursed her lips to hide her surprise. It is rare for someone at this age to miss nine years of compulsory education. The young single father... looked like he came from a remote mountainous area. He had just experienced a round of targeted poverty alleviation, and had been boosted by cadres. He was finally willing to go to the city to make a living.
He Ying glanced at Bai Xiaocha again. She was really close to this child, so she would help if she could: "Does the child like to cry?"
Bai Qingyu: "He won't cry."
"If you are willing to be a nanny, I can introduce you to a job that includes food and accommodation. The employer is usually not at home and is usually very free."
Bai Qingyu met so many kind-hearted people along the way that he never thought about the possibility of being cheated: "I do! I eat less, sleep less, and have good physical strength. I will definitely satisfy my employer."
He Ying: "The employer has a bad temper. If you and your children avoid him, you can get a few more months of salary. If you are dissatisfied with his bad temper, you can resign at any time."
Bai Qingyu: "It's okay, I have a good temper."
He Ying: "Okay, let's arrange it like this. I'll call the housekeeper, and you just need to go to the address above. Secretary Lin, take him to the intersection to take the 505 bus."
After Bai Qingyu left, He Ying thought about the child's face and called his nephew's housekeeper: "I will introduce someone to be a nanny."
The housekeeper asked in advance: "What's the problem with this person this time?" This aunt specializes in poverty alleviation. Disabled people who can't find a job have good character and are easily introduced to Mr. He as a nanny, with food, housing, five social insurances and one housing fund included. , anyway, Mr. He, a workaholic, is usually not at home, just to increase his personal popularity.
He Ying: "No problem."
The housekeeper felt relieved and was just about to entrust him with the important task when he heard his aunt say casually, "He has a child. Please arrange a bedroom for him far away from He Renyuan's room so that He Renyuan doesn't find out."< br>
housekeeper:? ? ?
Who doesn't know that Mr. He doesn't like children, creatures that are outside the law? He Renyuan prefers rules and order. Human cubs escape from legal rules and have no order in life.
The butler asked cautiously: "Is he your friend?"
He Ying: "No, I met him at a job fair. It is difficult for him to find a job with his children."
"What if Mr. He discovered it?"
He Ying: "If you find out, you have no choice but to leave. I just feel sorry for that child and provide him with a temporary place to stay. You can help cover it up."
Butler: "Okay. Anyway, Mr. He is away from home every day. It will probably take a few months for him to find out."
An hour and a half later.
The housekeeper looked at Bai Qingyu, who came out of the 1970s, and the overly cute cub behind him, and slapped his thigh. Wrong, he was wrong. He was totally wrong.
Isn't it no wonder that He Ying, as an aunt, feels sorry for the child? Aren't the child's features a replica of his young master's childhood? He Ying watched He Renyuan grow up, but he was very kind-hearted.
"Like, five points like, no, seven points like..."
It was fate to meet each other, but it was really unbearable to see such a child suffering hardship outside.
But it's different when you put it at home. There is still a vague sense of completeness like a young master getting married. Otherwise, this family would only have the housekeeper and nanny to entertain themselves, and He Renyuan was not at home, so he felt guilty about getting his salary.
"Mr. Bai, come with me." The housekeeper said with a smile, "Can you put the child down? Can he walk?"
"He will."
Bai Qingyu put the backpack on the ground and took out Bai Xiaocha.
Bai Xiaocha had been sitting in the basket on his back and looking at the sky. Now his field of vision was fully opened. He was holding his father's calf and looking around.
Very white walls, very slippery floors.
[Like, the agility in the eyes, precocious wisdom. ] Butler Qi Yun thought to himself.
Bai Qing said: "Cha Bao, this is Grandpa Butler."
"Master Guanjia." Bai Xiaocha raised his round head and shouted slowly.
[You don’t sound like a young master when you speak. ] The housekeeper thought to himself, He Renyuan is an eloquent speaker and has been speaking quickly since he was a child. In the past few years, when he was practicing as a lawyer, his mouth was even more venomous and his momentum was terrifying, making the other party feel embarrassed when he argued. However, he has become taciturn in the past three years, and he is often seen alone in silence and lost in thought.
Bai Qingyu: "My name is Bai Qingyu, and this is my ID card. His name is Bai Xiaocha, Cha Bao, the tea of tea leaves."
[Tea? Mr. He likes to drink tea most, and the basement is a tea warehouse. ]
The housekeeper said, "Come, this is your room. The windows are double-layered and soundproofed. It's best to close the doors and windows tightly when playing with the children."
"Wait, let me think about it again." The housekeeper frowned. Although this room was diagonal from the young master's room, He Renyuan would pass by it on the first and second floors. He never went to the guest rooms on the third floor. If Bai Qingyu is placed on the third floor, even if Cha Bao accidentally runs out and moves around the living room, he won't be afraid of being caught.
In this mansion, He Renyuan lives on the second floor, and the housekeeper and nanny live on the first floor. It stands to reason that only He Renyuan can live on the third floor. Qi Yun hesitated for a second and didn't care. Anyway, Aunt He Ying asked him to cover up, so he just kept it covered.
"Qingyu, would you mind living on the third floor?"
Bai Qingyu: "Anything is fine."
Butler Qi arranged a guest bedroom for Bai Qingyu with an east-facing balcony. The room was large and had all the necessary furniture, but there was no mattress on the bed.
The housekeeper explained: "The young master never brings guests home. The guest room has always been unused. The mattress has been put away and is next door. I will find someone to help move it over later."
"Thank you, Uncle Qi. I'm used to sleeping on a hard bed, so it won't be a problem." Bai Qingyu brought a bedding herself, and after putting it on, the modernization of the entire room instantly regressed by decades.
Qi Yun's eyes twitched and he said: "Mr. He often lives in the company and only comes back for one night a month. When he comes back, take your children to bed early and everything will be fine."
Bai Qingyu: "Steward Qi, what is my job?"
Qi Yun paused for a moment. In fact, they usually don't have much to do, but a luxury house should have all the standard features. Their most important thing is to maintain the mansion and the garden.
"You usually weed the garden and clean the guest rooms on the third floor to make them spotless. Guests can check in at any time."
Bai Qingyu: "I understand."
There seemed to be no housekeeper here. Qi Yun took a few steps and finally took out the large bread box he had brought with him from his pocket, handed it to Bai Xiaocha, and then said calmly: "Get settled today." , come down for dinner.”
Bai Xiaocha hugged the big bread and exclaimed.
The housekeeper felt for a moment that he was twenty years younger, facing the young master.
……
On her first day on the job, Bai Qingyu planned to perform well and broke the bread to her son, saying, "I have to go to work. How about you sleep in the sun in the house?"
Bai Xiaocha buried himself in the soft bread and took a sip, "Okay."
"Dad, I want a drink of water." He is already a sensible child, and he remembers to drink bread with water.
After Bai Qingyu fed him water, he took out a diaper from his backpack. Bai Xiaocha would express his desire to go to the toilet when he was awake, but it was difficult to say when he was sleeping, so Bai Qingyu would put a diaper on him, especially when he was sleeping. Drink water before going to bed.
Diapers are made of two layers of pure cotton fabric sewn together with a thin layer of white cotton and can be reused.
He doesn't like diapers.
An unscrupulous tourist once threw a pack of used diapers off the cliff and piled them under the tea bushes on the cliff. They have not decomposed even after several years. Bai Qingyu was disgusted and had no choice but to turn into a human and shovel it away.
Diapers are good, pure cotton, easy to break down.
Bai Qingyu sat on the ground, took apart the soft rattan bag containing the bedding, and rewoven it into an open oval basket.
Bai Xiaocha sat opposite him and focused on chewing the bread. His movements seemed to be slow and unhurried, ensuring that every bite was accurately delivered to his mouth without wasting any butter on the bread.
Bai Qingyu suddenly looked at Bai Xiaocha in trance for a while, patted his head, and felt that it was not just diapers that fell from the cliff before, but something else...
There must be other garbage that was difficult to dispose of, and it took a lot of effort on his part.
