Sure enough, as Liu Hanqing expected, as soon as Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng heard that Xiao Yanzhi had arrived in Suzhou, they immediately changed to the land route and returned to Suzhou in the starry night, but when the two of them rushed into Liufu in the dust, Xiao Yanzhi was not there.

Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng have to go to Liufu to see Xiao Junmeng every time they come back from going to sea, and by the way, they will give Xiao Junmeng the strange specialties they brought back from overseas to relieve their boredom, so it is the same for the two of them to follow up on their own homes when they want to enter Liufu.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Liu Mansion, Xiao Xiangsheng grabbed a subordinate and asked, "Where is the guest who has lived in your mansion these days?" ”

Afraid that the people who directly said that his brother Liufu didn't know who it was, Xiao Xiangsheng specially said a few more words to describe it.

Three years of experience at sea has honed Xiao Xiangsheng into a sturdy man, and he hurriedly asked with his eyes open, but he scared the subordinate.

"Guest, guest left the house half an hour ago." After saying that, the man immediately shook off Xiao Xiangsheng's hand and fled quickly.

Xiao Ren'an, who also has three years of experience in going to sea, is still personable and gentle like jade, and when he saw this, he walked to Xiao Xiangsheng's side and said jokingly: "I told you to be gentle with others, which scares people, doesn't it?" Alas, obviously he used to be just a handsome boy with a bit of ruffianism, why did he look more and more like a bandit in the past few years? You can't be a child picked up by your mother, right? ”

He was still the same as his brother, looking a little thin.

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Xiangsheng immediately glared at Xiao Ren'an and yelled, "Why don't you say that you picked it up yourself?!" ”

Xiao Ren'an took a step away, rubbed his ears and said, "Because I look like my brother, and I am also like my sister and Jun Meng, but you look different from us now." ”

Xiao Xiangsheng said aggrievedly: "That's not what I want to look like myself!" We are obviously doing the same thing, why haven't you changed? ”

Xiao Ren'an shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's why I said you picked it up." ”

"You!"

"Don't argue, don't argue!" At this moment, Xiao Junmeng walked out of the backyard of Liufu with Liu Hanqing in his arms, "Third brother, why are you not only getting taller and stronger year by year, but this voice is also getting louder year by year, I heard you roaring from afar, and I don't know that I think there is a beast in Liufu." ”

Xiao Xiangsheng was stunned: "You two know to run me all day long!" ”

Xiao Junmeng smiled sweetly and said, "Come on, come in." ”

She happened to be walking in the yard, so she went around to the front yard when she heard the third brother's voice, otherwise she would have waited for the two of them to go in by themselves.

"Where's my brother?" Xiao Ren'an kept up with Xiao Junmeng's slow footsteps and asked suspiciously.

"Oh, my brother and the prince went out half an hour ago."

Hearing this, Xiao Ren'an raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "Brother doesn't know that we will come back at this time?" ”

"I know, as soon as I received your letter, I told my brother."

Speaking of which, Xiao Junmeng suddenly felt that this matter was a little strange.

The elder brother knew that the second and third brothers would return to the city at this time, so why did they go out at this time?

Xiao Xiangsheng suddenly paused, turned his head and thought for a while and asked, "Did my brother say where he went?" ”

Xiao Junmeng also stopped, thought about it carefully but didn't think of anything, so he turned his head to look at Liu Hanqing.

Liu Hanqing didn't know.

Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng glanced at each other, then looked at Xiao Junmeng, looked up at the sky again, and suddenly smiled.

"Jun Meng, get ready, let's go find my brother."

"Huh? Where to look? Xiao Junmeng still couldn't react.

Xiao Xiangsheng smiled: "You girl, you have become more and more stupid since you gave birth to a child. Don't ask if you didn't guess, just pack your things. Really, it's only been a long time since I saw it, why is my belly big again. ”

"You care about me!" glared at Xiao Xiangsheng, Xiao Junmeng took Liu Hanqing and quickened his pace back to the backyard, changed his clothes, and brought some cloaks, thin blankets or something, and then came to the gate of the mansion again.

Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng had already asked the people of Liufu to prepare horses and carriages, and when they saw Liu Hanqing and Xiao Junmeng both getting into the carriage, they rode horses to lead the way in front and walked to a small river outside Suzhou without hesitation.

Worried about Xiao Junmeng's body, Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng didn't dare to go too fast, and when the group arrived at the river, it was already sunset, and the afterglow of the setting sun covered the earth warmly, in the warm halo, Xiao Yanzhi sat cross-legged by the river fishing, just like ten years ago, it seemed that it had never changed, but at this moment it was Pei Ze who was with Xiao Yanzhi instead of Xiao Ren'an.

Looking at the familiar back not far away, Xiao Junmeng's nose was sore, and tears came down immediately.

Xiao Xiangsheng wiped his nose, jumped off the horse and began to undress while running to the river, and when he arrived at the river, there was only a pair of middle pants left on his body, Xiao Xiangsheng stepped into the water without even a trace of hesitation.

"Brother, when do you have to wait until you sit there to catch a fish? Look at me forking two up! ”

The waves of the water frightened the fish in the river, and the few that had just approached the bait disappeared in an instant.

Xiao Yanzhi raised his head and looked at Xiao Xiangsheng who was fluttering in the river, and scolded with a smile: "I can't sit still for a moment!" ”

Xiao Xiangsheng smiled, because he didn't prepare a harpoon, he could only catch fish with his bare hands, but he also found the fun of his childhood.

Xiao Ren'an walked to Xiao Yanzhi's side with a smile on his face, sat down cross-legged like Xiao Yanzhi, and then picked up the fishing rod that Xiao Yanzhi had already prepared for him, skillfully hung up the bait and threw it out.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Xiao Ren'an and did not speak.

"Brother......" Xiao Junmeng was no longer inconvenient to move, so he laid out a mat and sat behind Xiao Yanzhi, leaning on Xiao Yanzhi's back.

Pei Ze and Liu Hanqing, who were slightly redundant, looked at each other and smiled, tacitly not saying anything, just sitting by the river fishing, but they didn't really want to catch a fish.

After sitting quietly for a while, Xiao Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiangsheng who was fluttering blindly in the river, and asked Xiao Ren'an, "Why do you want to go to sea?" ”

Xiao Ren'an glanced at Xiao Yan, and then said: "There is the Yan family on the road, and Xiangsheng and I both came out of the Yan family, and we have learned so many things from others, and now it is not good to take revenge to rob other people's business, although it may not be able to grab it, but it is not good after all."

Besides, I've been following my brother's side, Xiangsheng and I are not afraid of foreigners, although I don't know much about foreigners, it's not that I can't communicate, especially with Xiangsheng, a living treasure. So after staying in Suzhou for a while, Xiangsheng and I decided to go to sea with a fleet to try, and then we felt that it would work, so we made up our minds to take a fleet.

I'm sorry, I didn't even discuss it with my brother. ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "You two are not young, and you are not an ignorant kid, so you don't have to discuss everything with me." But going to sea is a dangerous thing, and I don't want to hear the news that my brother's bones are gone. ”

Xiao Ren'an nodded and said, "Although there is no way to promise anything to my brother, we will be careful." When several routes are completed and business cooperation is arranged, the two of us will not go to sea in person. ”

Xiao Yanzhi sighed with a smile and said, "Originally, I was expecting the two of you to spread the branches for the Xiao family, but it turned out that the two of you can toss better than me." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ren'an turned his head and glanced at Xiao Junmeng playfully, and said, "Brother, don't worry, we still have Junmeng in our family, if two are not enough, let her have a few more." ”

"Second brother, what are you and me!" Xiao Junmeng's face turned red when he heard this, and he glared angrily and knocked Xiao Ren'an hard.

Xiao Ren'an laughed and said: "Isn't this a good relationship between you and Han Qing, what are you afraid of if you have a few more, my brother will help you raise it!" ”

"Who raises you!" Xiao Junmeng slapped Xiao Ren'an again, and suddenly remembered Xiao Chunyue, Xiao Junmeng asked Xiao Yanzhi, "Brother, sister, ...... her"

Xiao Yanzhi touched Xiao Junmeng's head with his backhand and said, "A person has a person's way of living, and my sister is fine." ”

"Yes." Xiao Junmeng nodded, and leaned on Xiao Yanzhi again.

Xiao Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiangsheng in the river again, and teased: "Ren'an, do you think Xiangsheng is like a child picked up by his father-in-law and mother-in-law?" ”

Originally, I was a little brother with them, but how did I look like someone else's child after I grew up?

Hearing this, Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Junmeng burst out laughing in unison.

Xiao Ren'an shook his head and smiled: "I just told Xiangsheng like that, and I made him angry enough." ”

Xiao Junmeng also looked at Xiao Xiangsheng and said: "It's really not good, otherwise they all went to sea together, why didn't you see the second brother become like him?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi said with a smile: "I probably look like my father-in-law." ”

The three brothers and sisters here were laughing, and Xiao Xiangsheng came over with a splash in the water, holding a slippery fish in his hand.

"Brother, you see I got it!"

"Thanks to you, the fish were scared away by you, and none of us caught any of them." Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Xiao Xiangsheng.

Xiao Xiangsheng smiled, carefully put the fish into the fish basket, and asked Xiao Yanzhi: "Brother, what are you talking about so happy?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi, Xiao Ren'an, and Xiao Junmeng looked at Xiao Xiangsheng in unison, and said in unison: "Said that you picked it up by your mother." ”

Xiao Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment, and then glared and shouted, "Why do you even say that?!" ”

Seeing that Xiao Xiangsheng was fluttering in front of him, Xiao Yanzhi hurriedly protected Xiao Junmeng, Liu Hanqing walked over quietly, pulled Xiao Junmeng up and walked two steps away.

"Don't make a fuss, it's such a big person," Xiao Yanzhi kicked Xiao Xiangsheng, "But there is finally someone in our family who looks like his father-in-law." ”

His father-in-law doesn't know what kind of luck it is, among the children, Ren'an and Junmeng are more like their mothers, and Sister Chunyue's face is probably eighty percent like her mother, originally she didn't even look like him, but now there is finally a child who can tell whose family it is at a glance.

Xiao Xiangsheng seemed to be addicted to playing, and pulled Xiao Yanzhi and Xiao Ren'an into the river while people were unprepared, only to laugh proudly, and were pressed down in the river by Xiao Yanzhi and Xiao Ren'an, calling for help.

In the evening of this day, time goes back, and it seems that the misty world has never changed, and in the evening of the small town in the south of the Yangtze River, there are always four brothers and sisters playing by the river. But suddenly looking back, the gentle-eyed people on the riverbank pulled back the time and brought it forward.
