Chapter 9: Tangled
"We're sisters!" Nightingale grinned and hugged Su Ling, "I have a sister! Are you jealous of us?"
The three of them laughed and laughed, as if the days had a lot more fun. The days on the ship, Su Ling was really happy. She felt that she was really lucky to know the pigeon and the nightingale.
It's just that the happy days are short after all, and the fleet is getting closer and closer to the destination, but she hasn't thought about what to do in the future? Is she really going to stay and be a cook for that Li Gongzi? However, she is a little unwilling after all.
In the past few days, she has been making him some food, although he is a picky eater, but it is not difficult to serve. She just cooks three meals a day for him, and occasionally makes a few snacks, but it's really leisurely. Cooking for only one person is actually a very easy thing to do.
Originally, he didn't eat much, just a few dishes a day. I won't be extravagant and can't eat it, so I let me cook a big table of dishes.
Although it was not difficult to serve, she still didn't want to stay, she wanted to live her life after all. However, she never brought up the matter of household registration to him, and she didn't know if the Tiange had revealed it to him.
She really can't speak, if she cooks, at most she will thank him for saving her, and these days, she eats him and lives with him, as if cooking for him is also a matter of course. She really doesn't want to ask him for anything because of this.
He just felt that his skin was still too thin, and if she was a faceless person, I was afraid that she wouldn't have to think about it and couldn't make a decision.
"Little bell, what have you been thinking about?" the nightingale shook Su Ling's arm. Su Ling's eyes stared straight ahead, in fact, he could already feel the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan, even if it was a cold winter, but Jiangnan was still a little more beautiful, different from the scenery elsewhere.
The willow branches were swayed by the wind, although they had dried up and there were no leaves on them, but they still had some interest.
"I'm thinking, you're almost there! You're about to be able to see it!" Su Ling smiled faintly. The Hato is almost there, and the road ahead is very clear, but she has a long road ahead, and she doesn't know how to go or where to go.
It turns out that there is no home, the world is so big, and I really don't know where to settle down. Strange to say, she may really have an inexplicable sense of rejection or some frightening about going to the capital. She left the Su family's boat and walked in the opposite direction.
I slept peacefully every night, and I didn't have nightmares or palpitations anymore. It's really strange, but she has encountered such a thing as crossing, and I'm afraid that if she encounters something strange, she won't be surprised!
Anyway, the instinct was that she couldn't go to the capital, so she would be far away from the north! If she really wanted to stay, then it would be better to go to the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangnan is a good place, with beautiful scenery and mild climate, which is actually very suitable for her. She's not in good shape, but she's actually very afraid of the cold.
Living in Jiangnan is much better for her than going to the capital. Jiangnan is a place to raise people, and it is really suitable for her to live. I'm afraid it's not so easy.
"Yes, it's really fast, after tonight, tomorrow! It should be there before noon. "It's time to go home, and the nightingale is very happy. She is the son of the Li family, but there are still family members who are also serving in the Li family, and when she goes back, she will be able to see her family.
I'm sad to be so happy.
"I'm also very happy for you, it's really nice to be with your family. Su Ling sighed. She has no relatives for a long time, and in fact, she has nothing to worry about staying in that world. It is precisely because of this that she can more easily accept the matter of crossing!
If you don't have a family, you don't have a home, and it doesn't seem to make a difference anywhere. If she really doesn't like it here, it's because she doesn't know the place well. Because I don't know anything, I am at a loss, and because I am at a loss, I am afraid and timid.
"What about your family?"
"I don't have any family, my father and mother have died. Su Ling's tone was low.
"That's it! I asked if I shouldn't have asked, don't be sad!" the nightingale pulled at Su Ling's sleeve embarrassedly.
"It's all gone, and I'm not so sad anymore. Su Ling smiled slightly, sadness will also fade, increasing day by day, in fact, it is a kind of lonely sadness, which is no longer heart-rending pain. "Those who don't know are not guilty, and you don't know why you asked like this, how can I blame you!"
"If only you weren't angry. How have you thought about what Childe asked you to consider? Have you thought about it? It's been a long time!"
"I just haven't thought about it!"
"I know what you mean, you don't want to stay, do you? I can feel it, if you like, you don't have to worry about it, you should have come down a long time ago. Do you have other things to do, so you don't want to stay?" the nightingale grinned, as if she had already guessed Su Ling's thoughts.
"I don't have anything special to do, I just don't like to have too many constraints, I still want to live on my own and support myself. Even if my life is a little poor, as long as I am free, I will be very happy. ”
"Since you want to leave, what about the household registration matter? You haven't mentioned it to Childe! Tonight is your last chance, you better go and beg Childe!"
"I just can't speak, your son has already saved me, I haven't repaid it! Su Ling clasped his hands back and forth, but he couldn't make up his mind. She took a few deep breaths. You really should try it, otherwise you really won't have a chance.
After all, life is more important than facelessness. It's not a big deal to lose face, and you may not see you again in the future anyway.
"You still have to rely on yourself, and if others can't help you, I can't help you. Go ahead and try it! Actually, our son is a good man. ”
"Well, I'll do my best to beg him. Su Ling nodded vigorously.
In the evening, Su Ling cooked dinner for Li Gongzi and sent it over in person. With all the food on the table, she stood aside with some hesitation.
I struggled for a long time, and I didn't know how to speak. She has lived for so many years, and she has always been a non-begging person. From childhood to adulthood, she was beaten to death and was unwilling to ask for help. This time, it's really hard to change the habit that has been going on for so many years.
