The addition of Chou Chou makes the father and daughter, who have not seen each other for decades, have a short-term rapprochement.
In fact, Ji Nanzheng was overthinking. He thought that his leaving back then would make his daughter hate him, loathe him, and not accept him, but he didn't know that his wife raised her daughter very well.
There is a reason for everything. Of the many people in the clan who went to sea together, most of them died in the sea. His disappearance was unavoidable.
Survivors are rare. Although Ji Xiaqiu's mother is unwilling to accept the news of her husband's death, she will not bring these emotions to her daughter, and she will not let her daughter accompany her.
Grief, suffering together, as a mother, she chose to swallow all the unbearable sufferings by herself.
That's why Ji Xiaqiu grew up peacefully, and when she was a girl, she was still lively and active in the military camp to meet Liu Huan.
If she was a child who was born with family hardships and carried the hatred and resentment of her mother, she would not have such a cunning and agile character.
Ji Xiaqiu is not qualified to scold his father, because having a father or not has little impact on her childhood, and the only person in this world who is qualified to ask for justice from her father
, only her mother.
But having said that, Ji Xiaqiu still couldn't adapt to accepting his father's appearance suddenly. The two or three hours of conversation in the morning let her know about his father's experiences over the years, and also
Knowing that there is another piece of land besides the sea, the sea separates the two pieces of land, so that people from far away can never return to their homeland.
It sounds like they are all forced by the situation, but because they haven't seen it with their own eyes, Ji Xiaqiu can't empathize with her. She is still very unfamiliar with her father, and she doesn't know what to say between father and daughter.
Even though he recognized the father in his heart, he couldn't say "Father" from his mouth.
Fortunately, Chou Chou's intrusion brought an abrupt end to the heavy topic of separation between father and daughter. One was his great-grandfather and the other was his grandmother. To Chou Chou, both of them were elders.
The elders talked about the teaching and upbringing of their great-granddaughter and granddaughter, and the atmosphere became warmer, which is rare.
This is a good sign, at least in Xiao Li's opinion.
Therefore, the angry young boy didn't hold on to the snake on his sister's wrist any longer. He stood quietly aside and watched his sister play both sides in front of the two elders, honest and cute.
His smile is so sweet to the heart.
Grandpa is right, Chou Chou is a little sun with its own source of warmth. Even Xiao Li can't help but feel hot when looking at his younger sister. He always wants to love her, but the premise is that this younger sister
Don't become more and more mischievous and difficult to discipline.
The serious brother tried his best to keep his sister by his side, just to prevent these adults with wrong views from teaching his sister to be lawless and willful.
Grandmother's body can't support a long chat, and the effect of the Resurrection Pill is about to end. Xiao Li seized the time and pulled away both Grandpa and Chouchou in time, so that Grandpa
Mom, take a good rest.
Ji Nanzheng felt a little regretful, he went out of the room and kept looking inside.
The strict doctor Xiao Li closed the door with a "slap", and said coldly to his grandfather, "You must not disturb grandma's rest."
Ji Nanzheng was embarrassed, and walked out step by step.
Behind Ji Nanzheng, Chouchou wanted to leave, but Xiao Li grabbed her by the back of her neck and dragged her back.
Chou Chou knew that the situation was over, as if he was boneless, he turned around and hugged his brother, coquettishly: "Brother, brother, brother..."
"Stand up." Xiao Li said, making her sister stand up straight, and reaching out to her.
Chou Chou pursed his mouth, and blinked his grape-like eyeballs.
Xiao Li shook his palm: "Hurry up."
Chouchou pretended to sniff his nose, and used bitter tricks: "Brother..."
"One, two..."
Counting to "three", Chou Chou had no choice but to roll up his sleeves, take off the tightly wrapped Abi, and hand it to his brother.
Xiao Li grabbed Abi's seven inches, hummed, turned and left.
You can't let this sweet-talking snake get too close to your younger sister, this is a special order from your parents, and Xiao Li must strictly follow it!
Xiao Li randomly found a bamboo basket, threw Abi, who was too stiff to move, into it, and threw it into the warehouse.
After he came out, he went to the boatman to prepare for tomorrow's landing purchase.
The next day, their boat docked at noon.
There were many officers and soldiers patrolling the Qingzhou Wharf. When they saw a strange ship berthing, a whole team of soldiers came immediately, each with a long gun in his hand.
Xiao Li took a boatman with him, and when he got off the boat, he saw a group of people clattering outside, he was stunned for a moment, took out his guide, and handed it to them.
The leading soldier took it, glanced at it, and asked, "From Chongzhou?"
Xiao Li nodded, and said like a little adult: "Yes, I'm going to Anzhou to visit relatives, passing by Qingzhou, stop to buy some things."
The soldier returned Lu Yin to him, and looked into the boat behind him. It was a family boat, with no official sign or merchant sign.
Xiao Li pretended to be timid and asked: "My lord, is there something wrong in this city? I have come here before, and I have never seen so many officers and soldiers at the pier..."
The soldier raised his eyebrows and asked, "You came from Chongzhou, which is to the south of Songzhou. You are going by water, so you didn't board a boat in Songzhou? Isn't the pier in Songzhou easier to defend than ours?"
Xiao Li scratched his head: "Songzhou is also well-defended, but isn't it because of the plague in the city that the imperial court strictly controls the traffic of ships?"
The soldier rolled his eyes, thinking that it was probably an excuse made by his colleagues in Songzhou. After all, the other party was from Chongzhou. Their rebels occupied Songzhou, Nanzhou, and Fengzhou. For a Chongzhou
There is no need to tell him too much to passers-by, and it is impossible to startle the enemy and tell the truth about the situation in the city.
The soldier asked again: "Isn't it faster to go from Chongzhou to Anzhou by land than by water? Why do we need to go by boat?"
Xiao Li said: "We are taking the elderly and children out. The road is bumpy and the carriage is unbearable. The boat must be steady. As long as the elderly and children don't get seasick, they can take it."
The soldier looked into the boat again.
Just at this time, Ji Nanzheng walked past the deck with Chouchou, and the soldiers did see that the old man had white hair and was seventy or eighty years old, and the child was two or three years old and could hardly walk.
Not very stable.
The doubts in my heart subsided, but the soldier was still very strict and asked, "What do I want to buy when I go to the city?"
Xiao Li said: "Buy some medicinal materials, rice, and hire a maid."
The soldier narrowed his eyes immediately: "Want to buy someone?"
Xiao Li waved his hands, and looked at the soldier with an inexplicable expression: "Just hire a maid to wait on the road. I have hired it before. When I arrive in Anzhou, I will pay for it."
The soldier shook his head: "You can't take people away, you can't leave the city."
Xiao Li was a little embarrassed: "My great-grandfather caught wind and cold on the road, so it's not good for him to take care of my sister all the time. I'm young, and it's the first time I'm in charge. I have to manage the top and bottom, and I don't have enough energy. I used to
They are all accompanied by their parents. This time they are not here. It is the first time I am in charge of the family. Please show kindness. If I arrive in Anzhou, the old and the young will be sick. How can I tell the elders
We explain. "
The soldier shook his head, still disagreeing.
Xiao Li cleverly stuffed a silver ingot in the past, and said with a smile: "I have more than one son in my family, I am the fourth eldest, and all three elder brothers can do it. Although I am young, I have to exercise early, otherwise
Then when I grow up in the future, my father doesn't trust me, and my family's shop can't be handed over to me, so it's convenient for you, my lord. "
