Chapter 9: Affection is Deep
The matter of taking refuge in the General's Mansion was thus decided.
It wasn't until the Yan family made amends and said goodbye first to find his son that Qiao Dazhu came back to his senses with a look of disbelief.
How did it go so well?
Don't you need him to ask for help?
Qiao Dazhu turned his head and looked at his daughter, always feeling that after an overnight pass, Qiao Jinyu gave him a different feeling.
It seems to be more stable than before, and he is more able to speak, and even seems to be a different person.
Such a change would have been a good thing, but when he thought of the root cause of this change, Qiao Dazhu couldn't help but blame himself in his heart and felt very guilty.
After suffering so much grievance, can you not change?
Fortunately, it's okay, otherwise, he won't be able to explain to her mother in the next hundred years.
Qiao Jinyu didn't know what Qiao Dazhu was thinking, so she took off the apron on her body.
"Dad, I'll send you out. It's getting late, it's time for you to go back. It's late, my mother and brother will be worried. ”
"yes, okay."
Qiao Dazhu gathered his thoughts, and also put away the guilt and self-blame on his face, not wanting Qiao Jinyu to see and worry.
The father and daughter followed Steward Zhao to the gate of the house, and Xiaoquan, who was in charge of placing the donkey cart before, had brought the donkey cart back.
Although he decided to send his daughter to the General's Mansion by himself, it was the first time he was separated from his daughter.
And this separation, the family doesn't know when they will be reunited, and Qiao Dazhu is very reluctant.
After taking off the burden from the donkey cart and putting it in Qiao Jinyu's arms, Qiao Dazhu took out a money bag from his arms and stuffed it into Qiao Jinyu's hand.
"Jinyu, you take this money, in the future, you will be alone in Xinyang City, you must take care of yourself, and when your father is free, your father will come to see you."
The money bag is very light, but Qiao Jinyu knows that this money bag contains half of the savings of the entire Qiao family, as well as all the copper plates that Qiao Dazhu exchanged for sweet potatoes this morning.
Last night, when she learned that Qiao Dazhu was going to let her join General Long Wei, who was guarding the town, her stepmother Du Shi immediately packed up her baggage.
After she and Huai'an rested, Du Shi took out half of the family's savings and asked Qiao Dazhu to bring it to her today.
She heard all the whispers that the two of them had said in the dark.
opened the money bag, Qiao Jinyu took out half of the silver money from it, and returned the rest to Qiao Dazhu.
"Dad, you take this money back, I have food and drink in the General's Mansion, and I can spend it with this."
"When I get paid next month, I will save it and use it for him to marry his daughter-in-law when Huai'an grows up in the future."
Qiao Dazhu only felt that his heart was very warm, if he hadn't tried his best to restrain himself, he was afraid that his eyes would be wet with tears on the spot.
"You child, Huai'an is still so young, it's too early to talk about marrying a daughter-in-law?"
"What's more, with a father, where can I use you to save his daughter-in-law's capital for him?"
"Yes, yes, I know that my father is here, and I don't need to worry about anything." Qiao Jinyu is as good as a stream.
"But Dad, you should hurry up, you won't be home until dark."
"You kid...... When did you become so skinny? Although it was a few falls, the tone and expression were spoiled.
Knowing that if he delayed any longer, he would really not be able to get home before dark as Qiao Jinyu said, so Qiao Dazhu returned to the donkey cart.
"Jinyu, dad is gone, you remember to take care of yourself."
"Got it, Dad, you can rest assured." Qiao Jinyu waved her hand.
Qiao Dazhu looked at her reluctantly, the whip was lightly whipped on the donkey's buttocks, and the donkey cart slowly drove out.
It wasn't until Qiao Dazhu's figure completely disappeared at the entrance of the alley that Qiao Jinyu turned around and walked towards Zhao's mansion.
Steward Zhao never left, he was waiting for her at the door, and when he saw her approaching, he smiled at her.
"Girl, I haven't asked your name yet, I don't know what to call it?"
