Chapter 261 The whole family wants a baby
"So this is an oxcart." Mu Baobao looked adorable and unworldly. "Master, the village chief's oxcart doesn't have a shed, just a frame. The villagers envy it."
"If my family's ox cart goes back, the villagers will definitely envy my grandparents."
She wanted her grandparents to be the envy of the villagers.
That way, grandparents will definitely be able to stand up straight.
Dr. Deng couldn't help but sigh at the child's understanding. Although the child is young, he actually knows a lot.
"We can't go back today, so let's take a bullock cart back tomorrow, okay?"
He had some things to deal with in town today and couldn't go back.
Mu Baobao nodded and continued to walk around in the ox cart.
After walking around for a while, she stood in the middle and asked, "Master, can we put a warm stove here?"
"The warm donkey in the Master's carriage. That way my grandparents won't be cold when they ride the ox cart."
Dr. Deng said yes, “Wait, let’s buy a stove.”
Mu Baobao shook his head and said, "Master, there's no need to waste money on a stove. I have one at home. We can just put one on the oxcart when the time comes."
Doctor Deng pinched her face amusedly and asked, "How do you know so much?"
"Grandma and the others always say it." Mu Baobao learned it by osmosis.
From childhood to adulthood, grandma and her family would often talk about various things at home. After doing so many times, she remembered them.
Doctor Deng felt more and more that he had made the right decision in accepting this apprentice. Children can remember a lot of things, but there are very few children who can remember so many things about their family.
"Baby, what did your grandma and the others say?"
Mu Baobao counted on his fingers, thinking and saying, "My grandma and the others have said that many times."
"You must eat well, grow up quickly, be good and obedient, and help with things around the house. Don't be afraid of things..."
Lots and lots of them.
There were some things she couldn't quite remember.
Doctor Deng said, "The baby is amazing. He can remember so much."
The praised Mu Baobao laughed and held his head high, "I think I'm great too."
Doctor Deng ordered the secret guard to drive back and continued chatting with Mu Baobao with his head down.
The wheels of the ox cart rolled forward.
The speed is slower than a horse-drawn carriage.
"Grandpa, there are people selling sugar figures over there. Do you want to buy one for the young lady?" the secret guard asked at this time.
"Sugar man!" Wooden baby jumped three feet high, "Master, I want to eat sugar man!"
"Buy it!" Doctor Deng said readily.
Soon, a very cute sugar man appeared in Wooden Baby's hand.
The sugar figures are lifelike and very beautiful.
Mu Baobao couldn't bear to eat it and looked at it again and again with great care. The sugar man was so beautiful.
"Baby, don't you want to eat?" asked Doctor Deng.
Mu Baobao was confused and said, "Master, I can't bear to leave."
"But the sugar man will melt if you don't eat it."
Doctor Deng laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Silly girl, sugar men are meant to be eaten."
"If you like it, Master will buy it for you."
Mu Baobao was still reluctant to give it up, as this was the first sugar figure she had ever gotten.
"Master, can I eat later?"
Doctor Deng said, "Sure, it's up to you to decide."
"However, I have to remind you that the sugar man will melt when it is inside the house."
Mu Baobao said, "I will start eating the candy man when we get back to the house. Now I want to look at my candy man for a while longer."
Doctor Deng let her do as she pleased.
the other side.
Apricot Village.
Old Man Mu stood at the entrance of the village, stretching his neck to look again and again, smoking his pipe.
"Uncle Mu, who are you waiting for?" asked a passing villager.
Father Mu forced a smile and said, "Waiting for the baby."
"She went to town with Doctor Deng. I miss my child, don't I?"
The villagers were very envious, "Uncle Mu, your family is going to be rich."
"All your children are studying, and your baby is learning medicine from Dr. Deng."
"When they grow up, maybe your home will become the home of a high-ranking official."
Who in the village doesn't envy the Mu family? They have Mr. Cheng and Dr. Deng to protect them, and the children of the Mu family are also hardworking, so they know that good days are ahead.
After hearing this, Mu Laodi's smile widened a bit, and even his mood became lighter. "Hey, I don't want anything too good for the children. I just hope they can be happy and safe."
The two chatted for a while, and then Old Man Mu walked towards home.
On the way, I met many villagers.
They were either out clearing the snow or preparing to go to the mountains to find something to eat.
"Lao Mu, are you out looking for food too?"
"Oh my, it's getting even colder now that the snow has stopped. It's too cold. Uncle Mu, are you going home?"
"Lao Mu, let's have a drink some other day. Today, we need to drink some wine."
After talking to the villagers one by one, Old Man Mu arrived at his doorstep.
When he returned home, he saw Zhu Shi standing guard at the gate and sighed, "Baby hasn't come back yet, hurry back to the house and warm yourself by the fire."
Mrs. Zhu missed her granddaughter so much, "It's been two days, haven't the baby and Doctor Deng come back yet?"
The two walked in side by side.
Father Mu also misses his granddaughter, "I'm afraid it won't be that soon."
"The county magistrate asked Doctor Deng to help treat the illness, but he won't be back in a day or two."
"Let's not worry. With Dr. Deng here, the baby will be fine."
He consoled himself, "Besides, it's a good thing for the baby to see more of the world with Dr. Deng."
Mrs. Zhu was still worried. "The baby is not even two years old yet. Even with Dr. Deng watching over him, I still feel uneasy."
"The baby has been with me since she was little. Now she's been away from me for two days. I can't sleep or eat well."
The baby had never been away from her for so long.
Father Mu was also worried. "Alright, alright, don't say such things."
"If someone with ulterior motives spreads this to Doctor Deng, he might misunderstand us."
Zhu patted her lips twice and said, "I understand. I won't say this again."
When they entered the house, they saw Mu Laosan and his wife looking at them eagerly.
"Mom, isn't the baby back yet?" Mu Laosan stretched his head to look behind his parents, his voice full of anticipation.
Zhu said, "...He hasn't come back yet. I estimate he'll be back for another two days."
Mu Laosan was very disappointed, "I thought the baby would be back today."
How long will his precious daughter stay in town?
Mu Baobao, who is often talked about by his family, is now eating candy figures and reading the Three Character Classic.
Doctor Deng was talking in a low voice with the county magistrate.
"Doctor Deng, I still haven't figured out who's behind this."
The county magistrate was filled with hatred. "Those are worse than animals. Disaster victims are also human beings. They actually instigated the disaster victims to do such a thing. They don't even take the entire town seriously."
Doctor Deng was relatively calm. He advised, "County Magistrate, especially at times like this, you must remain calm."
"If those people were able to secretly incite the victims once, they will do it a second time."
