Chapter 112: Another year

The big boat on the river is unimpeded, for the sake of Cangze and his wife, Feng Li let the boat stop for a few days, yes, the thirty-first year of Kangxi and the thirty-second year of Kangxi, Feng Li spent time on the boat.

Because he couldn't reach Yunnan before Chinese New Year's Eve, Feng Li also relaxed his heart and let the boat go slowly, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, he stopped at the nearest most prosperous wharf, so that people went to prepare New Year's supplies, food, play, and the big guys decorated the big ship together, hung red lanterns, pasted Spring Couplets, and cut stickers. Seeing that the people around him were busy, the feeling of freedom and ease deepened Fengli's smile.

"If they are not allowed to reunite with their families during the Chinese New Year, you tell them that their wages will be doubled for these days, and that when each person goes home, he will report the size of his family and reward them and their families with a new piece of clothing." For the people around her, Feng Li has never been stingy, and Chinese New Year's Eve is indeed a day of reunion for native Chinese, and at such a time, she should express it to let these people run around for her.

"The master is benevolent!" As the person in charge of the ship, the honest man was also happy for Feng Li's subordinates to be so generous, and he scratched his head and smiled, his eyes flashing with joy.

Feng Li didn't smile, looking from the window, the pedestrians on the shore came and went in a hurry, each carrying more or less New Year's goods, and his face was full of smiles, so he couldn't wait to rush back to reunite with his family, all of which were written on his face.

Then, Feng Li heard the cheers coming from the deck, and the honest man was no longer there, and it was obvious that he was glad to tell the workers what she had just said.

In fact. For many people, happiness is simple, but the higher the person stands. It's getting harder and harder to be truly happy.

seemed to feel the joy of the outsiders, Feng Heng, who had slept enough to wake up, rarely refused to stay in the cabin anymore, clamoring to go out. Feng Li couldn't, so he could only give him more clothes to wear, so he carried him to the deck.

On deck. Five or six children of different ages were playing with firecrackers, running around happily when they saw Feng Li come out. They all stood still, not daring to move. Obviously, the parents have told them about the identity of Fengli, so these children will behave like this.

"It's okay. You guys play yours. He loves to watch you play! Feng Li smiled very kindly and said to the children, in order to prove his words, he also picked up Feng Hengdi, and Feng Heng stared at them without blinking.

But when he saw Feng Heng, the child gasped at the same time, and boldly stepped forward and said, "Madam, madam, the little young master looks so good." Me, can I touch him? ”

All right. This good-looking child, you have to eat it everywhere, how old is Feng Heng, this is what makes people like it at a glance. The little girl of seven or eight years old, or she was seduced by beauty, her face turned red when she spoke, and she bowed her head in embarrassment. I have always liked the abundance of children, and it is rare to see such a cute little girl, so I am not stingy with my son.

"Yes!" Feng Li agreed very happily, and squatted down as he spoke, waving at the little girl, who thought she had misheard, but when she saw Feng Li waving at her, she trotted over. Feng Li said: "Come, let you touch it." ”

Feng Heng, who didn't realize that he was sold by his own mother, seemed to like children very much, and grinned at the little girl, the little girl exclaimed, and exhaled hot air to her hands for a long time, seeing Feng Li staring at her, she said embarrassedly: "I, my hands are cold, if I suddenly touch the young master, it will be cold to the young master." Madame, my hands will be hot when I blow for a while. ”

It's really rare for a little girl who is only seven or eight years old to understand such a truth.

"Madam, you touch, my hands are warm, I can touch the little master!" The little girl reached out and touched Feng Li's hand first, and sure enough, she didn't feel a trace of cold, Feng Li nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

The little girl grinned, and then gently, carefully touched Feng Heng's pink little face, Feng Heng was not afraid of life, and was touched by the little girl, Xu felt a little itchy, shrunk her head, turned to Feng Li, and clapped her hands, as if she was very happy.

"It's a pity that the little master is still young, if the little master is older, I can take him to set off firecrackers!" It was a pity to hear this, Feng Heng dodged the little girl's touch, and the little girl also withdrew her hand.

Feng Li said: "When he sees you playing, he will open it soon, go play!" ”

The little girl saw that Feng Heng was not staring at the place where they were playing just now, and the little girl said: "Little master, look, I'll show you firecrackers!" ”

Ran back to her little friend, lit the firecrackers and threw them out, several children hurriedly hid behind, boom, the firecrackers exploded in the water, several children cheered together, Feng Heng was in Feng Li's arms, excitedly waving his hands and feet, screaming in his mouth, Feng Li tapped his little nose, attracting Feng Heng's attention, "Ah Heng's courage is not small!" ”

is used to Feng Li putting all his attention on Feng Li's body when he points his nose, even if he can't hear Feng Li's voice, watching Feng Li's lips move, he seems to understand that Feng Li is talking to him, and laughing with Feng Li flatteringly, Feng Li, this kid is a human being.

Feng Heng saw the children running and dancing, and the mood was also very good, Feng Li was stunned to hold him and watch the children put the firecrackers they bought, and the inertial rest time was up, Feng Heng fell asleep in Feng Li's arms.

A few children watched Feng Li set off firecrackers, and at this time Feng Li had changed from a lady who was high up and couldn't be offended to a kind lady, yes, they set off firecrackers, and they all came over to see Feng Heng.

"Madam, is the little young master asleep?" For Feng Heng, who is delicate and white and fat, it is difficult to dislike it, several children surround Feng Li, and they are very curious about Feng Heng who is sleeping. Feng Li gathered the clothes on Feng Heng's body, nodded and said, "Yes, he is asleep." You've been playing for so long, you should be hungry too, Yu Huan, bring out some pastries for them to eat. ”

"Master, the slave and maid have already prepared!" Yu Huan came in from the cabin and came out with two plates of pastries in his hands. "Come on, come on, this is the mung bean cake I just made, eat it all and see if it's delicious!"

Yu Huan is good at cooking, and she also likes to make all kinds of delicious things, these days on the boat, she can do even less, so she is also very familiar with these children, mainly because she will often cook some delicious food for them, adults still have soft mouths and short hands, not to mention children who are not sensible! Yu Huan has already been successfully promoted to the king of children, she asked the children to go east, and the children will definitely not go west!

As soon as they saw Yu Huan come out, the children cheered and ran to Yu Huan happily, and even called Yu Huan's sister in their mouths, Yu Huan handed over the pastries to them, and saw that they were snatched up, and they didn't care. However, Feng Li noticed that the little girl who was about to touch Feng Heng just now carefully wrapped the pastry with a handkerchief, but she didn't eat any of it.

"Xiaoyi, do you want to bring the pastries back to your mother?" Yu Huan squatted beside the little girl, stroked her head and asked. The little girl who was called Xiaoyi nodded, "My mother said that the pastries made by Sister Yu Huan taste very good, so I want to bring them back to my mother to eat." ”

"What a good boy!" Yu Huan still touched Xiaoyi's head and said, Xiaoyi grinned at Yu Huan, "Sister Yu Huan, thank you for the pastries, I'll go back to see my mother first!" ”

Waving her little hand, Xiao Yi ran to the lower deck of the boat, Yu Huan watched her go, shook her head, and Feng Li said, "What?" ”

"Is the master asking Xiaoyi? Xiaoyi, but a poor child, no, it should be said, these children are all poor children, they either have no relatives at home, go to relatives, do the hardest and most tiring work on this boat, just ask for a full meal, or Brother Meng saw that he was abandoned by his parents in the water when he was sailing, and he couldn't bear to save him for a while. Xiaoyi also has a mother, but her mother, there is no better than nothing, she is sad in the cabin all day long, but she wants Xiaoyi to support her, I heard Brother Meng say that Xiaoyi originally had a younger sister, but because her mother did not take care of the child, she caught a cold and did not have the money to find a doctor, so she died of illness. ”

"What do you think of this little idea?"

"Very sensible and filial!" Yu Huan didn't understand why Feng Li suddenly inquired about Xiaoyi, but he still answered truthfully. Feng Li remembered that when Xiao Yi touched Feng Heng just now, she first thought about warming her hands, and when she touched Feng Heng, she looked so cautious. Feng Li had some thoughts, but Feng Heng's situation was special, and she had to be cautious.

"If you see Xiaoyi, you invite her to the cabin to see Ah Heng!" Feng Li said with a smile, Yu Huan was stunned, and didn't understand why Feng Li suddenly gave such an order, but he still obediently agreed.

"The last dish is ready, Miss Yu Huan, let's serve it!" There was a call from the basement, and Yu Huan responded: "Okay, serve!" Master, it's a reunion night, and our food is on the deck, okay? ”

"It's not cold at this time, but when it's dark and you eat on the deck, do you want to blow the cold wind?" When Yu Qing heard Yu Huan's suggestion, he immediately refuted it unceremoniously. Yu Huan thought about it, it was really like that, and he was very embarrassed.

Feng Li said: "The boat is big enough, even if you put three or five tables in the restaurant, it will not be a problem." ”

"What the master said is, I'll arrange it!" Yu Huan ran to the lower deck of the boat, Yu Qing went up, "Master, the little master is asleep, the slave and maid will carry him back to the room!" ”

Feng Li nodded, and handed Feng Heng into Yu Qing's hands, Yu Qing carried Feng Heng to the cabin, and at this time, bursts of firecrackers sounded, continuous, smoke can be seen in the distance, farewell to the old and welcome the new, it is another year! (To be continued......)
