Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.: Chapter 1123 The trouble of having many children and grandchildren

Chapter 1123 The troubles of having many children and grandchildren

Tao Hongying added, "Yes, things are going well in the south. Nothing is going on. It's just that your grandma and I couldn't help but miss you, so we took advantage of the return of our family's fleet and boarded the ship without telling your uncle."

“No matter what your uncle said, we didn’t go down. Your grandma even pretended to be sick, so you asked your uncle to let her go!”

The good news reassures me a little, as long as I am not summoned back by the man in the palace.

"Mom, where are my brothers? Are you and grandma the only ones who came back together? Did the journey go well together?"

Tao Hongying responded, "An Ge'er sent us back on the pretext of coming back to report on his duties. His Foreign Affairs Department has concluded some trade agreements with Fan Guo, and he wants to bring them back to the court for discussion and the next official document."

 Happy news, I haven’t seen my brother for a long time.

She said, "Mom, I'm going to see my fifth brother. You guys have a rest first. We'll go home in a while."

 “Okay.” Tao Hongying responded, and Mrs. Li also lay down again.

Although they didn't ask how things were going in Xindu, looking at Jiayin's appearance, they could guess that nothing too dangerous had happened.

 As for the future, when they come back, we can just bear the good and bad together.

Jia'an wore an azure-colored fine cotton gown and stood by the dock talking to Li Dayong.

The scorching sun caused beads of sweat to form on his forehead, and his face was as dark as bronze, but this did not damage his superior demeanor at all.

 Over so long, he has grown up completely by building a branch of the Foreign Affairs Department from scratch in Quanzhou.

 “Brother!” Jiayin walked forward quickly holding up her skirt.

Jia'an turned his head, immediately smiled, stretched out his arms and hugged his sister tightly.

 In my memory, my sister has always been white, fat, cute and cute.

At this moment, Jia'an saw that her sister's face had become thinner, and she felt heartbroken. She even regretted coming back late.

"Fu Niu'er, are you suffering? My brother is back and he will be fine in the future."

Jiayin tried her best to swallow back her tears and acted coquettishly with her brother, "Brother, there is food and drink at home, and my second uncle and sister-in-law are nice to me. How can I suffer? I've just grown taller, so I look thinner."

Jia'an rubbed her hair and replied, "That's right, it's two inches taller!"

With that said, he pulled up his sleeves to shield his sister from the sun, and then shouted to the boy Zheng Wu, "You watch the moving, I will go back to Suijintan first, and then go to the Yamen tomorrow."

“Yes, don’t worry, young master, we are here.” Zheng Wu responded loudly, with a smile on his face.

No matter where you go, Broken Gold Beach is everyone’s favorite and most missed place.

Now that he has returned from the south, he already feels full of strength before he even sets foot on Broken Gold Beach...

Jiayin also greeted with a smile, "I'll go back to Suijintan when I'm done. When you come back, the village chief will definitely kill the pig. Remember to go home early to eat the pig-killing vegetables!"

Zheng Wu and others were even more happy. They started working with the wind at their feet.

 The brothers and sister and Li Dayong returned to the barracks, and Li Laoer and Mr. Wen also came.

 Unavoidably, there was another lively exchange of pleasantries.

This is not the place to talk, so no one asked any questions. They just said goodbye to Li Dayong and went back to the village together.

It is a pity that Li Dayong has to guard the military camp and cannot follow him back to the village for reunion.

 But at dinner time, the village quickly delivered half a fan of pork and a bucket of pig-killing vegetables.

 He also ate to his heart's content, just to join in the fun from a distance.

 Of course this is a story for later!

The wheels of the carriage were rattling, and everyone in the carriage was chatting away.

 Old Mrs. Li looked at the fields outside the car window and couldn't help but frown and sigh.

"What happened this year? There is such a drought in the north and south, but the people are not allowed to survive." Tao Hongying also said, "Yes, we also encountered three or four groups of water thieves on the waterway we took back, making life difficult for them. Going astray in order to survive.

"If it weren't for the fact that most of our people are retired veterans and wounded soldiers, the water thieves would be frightened when they meet each other. This ship's cargo may really be unsalvageable."

Li Laoer and Mr. Wen asked a few questions carefully, and Mr. Wen said, "There was some vague news earlier that people in various places were unstable. But in order to appoint the crown prince and select the concubine, the court had no time to take care of it.

 In this case, there is a real possibility of chaos in the south. "

Li Laoer nodded, "Brother Li's place of employment is close, and he didn't say anything in the letters back and forth. Jiaren is far away, and his place has always been barren and difficult. I'm afraid...

“Let me write a letter to ask as soon as possible, remind him, and let him prepare in advance.”

Mrs. Li was worried about her grandson, so she rarely interrupted and said, "Can you spare some veterans from the second village to help Jiaren? If it doesn't work, ask the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion."

Jiayin hugged grandma's arm and comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry. When my eldest brother went to take office, he brought the most people. Moreover, Uncle Hei and his convoy also rushed there before, and now they are probably all about to arrive."

“Hey, Lao Hei and the others are here!” Mrs. Li was pleasantly surprised and immediately felt relieved.

"This is great. Lao Hei and the others have been traveling for so many years, and they are very skilled at their work. With them here, you don't have to worry about your elder brother."

While talking like this, the carriage quickly turned onto the dirt road and arrived near the second village.

  The villagers, old and young, in Xincun and No. 2 Villages had already stood at the bridge to look around after hearing the news.

Even when Wan'er came back from the city after holding the child in her arms, she stopped here.

As soon as Mrs. Li and others' carriage could see a shadow, the villagers cheered.

 “The old lady is back!”

“Fourth Madam, Fourth Madam! You are back!”

When Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying heard the commotion, they also leaned out of the car window and waved happily to everyone.

 Finally, the carriage arrived. The village chief stepped forward and opened the door.

 Old Mrs. Li jumped directly without any support.

 “Folks, I miss you so much. How are you all? How are you doing lately?”

“Old madam, we miss you too! If you are not in the village, we have no confidence in our lives!” Aunt Wu took Old Mrs. Li’s hand and expressed everyone’s feelings.

Everyone nodded vigorously and responded with all their voices.

"Yes, yes. When the old lady comes back this time, do you want to go to Quanzhou again?"

“Yes, old lady, isn’t it hotter in the south? Let’s spend the summer at home.”

Old Mrs. Li felt sad when she heard this, and quickly waved her hands and talked to everyone.

“Don’t worry, everyone, I don’t plan to leave when I come back this time. Things in the south have almost been settled, so of course I will come back to retire.

“Let’s not worry about it, wait for me to calm down, we will have a good time doing our daily routine later.

 “My old bones can no longer bear the burden, and now I feel like I have stepped on cotton under my feet!”

 “Great, great, the old lady won’t leave!” Everyone was happy.

Aunt Wu and several other older ladies surrounded the old ladies and walked towards the village.

This one talked about the changes in the village, and the other talked about his children and grandchildren getting married. I really wanted to fill in the information gap during the time when Mrs. Li was gone.

The same is true around Tao Hongying. The women in the village can only say more than the old ladies, and they will never miss a word.

So much so that Wan'er couldn't squeeze in front of her even though she was holding her child.
