579 Long Years 7
After Lin Xiaoxiao and Little Brother Lin completed the withdrawal procedures, Brother Lin took them to the south first, and Father Lin and his wife and concubine went slowly. This is a matter that has been discussed in advance, the young people are in good health, they will go to find a house and a school first, and then go over after the arrangement is made for Father Lin.
Father Lin chose to send the children away because he was afraid that the situation would deteriorate, and he also took protective measures to let the children go, and there were many bodyguards to invite, and there were servants who had been with him for many years, and there were trustworthy housekeepers. The three brothers and sisters not only went by themselves, but also brought a large amount of gold exchanged by Lin's father, accounting for at least one-third of the Lin family's property.
Father Lin was worried about their safety, and even more worried that so much gold would be targeted, he was a hundred worried, but he had to let the three brothers and sisters go together.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't care, but she couldn't say it to comfort Father Lin, and she couldn't even offer to hand over the gold to her for safekeeping, she was the weakest one in everyone's eyes.
In order to ensure safety, Father Lin bought them a ferry ticket and took a boat directly to the port city, which was a little slower, but it was safer than planes and trains. They sail on the seas, there are fewer bad guys on board, and bodyguards can better protect them.
The three brothers and sisters took gold, except for Father Lin and Mrs. Lin, no other outsiders knew, not even the aunt's wife. Father Lin divided the gold into three points and disguised it as ordinary luggage, telling them that although money is important, they must ensure their safety first in case of danger, and if they lose money, they will earn it again, and if they are gone, there will be nothing.
Brother Lin nodded calmly, Lin smiled and comforted Father Lin that there would be no problem, they would definitely arrive at Hong Kong City safely, only Junior Brother Lin stared at Father Lin and his brother with a trace of nervousness.
Little Brother Lin has also been taught to protect the women in the family since he was a child, so Lin Xiaoxiao is also the one who needs to be protected in his eyes, and it all depends on him and Brother Lin on the way, this is the first time he has encountered such a major event, and his heart is full of nervousness and uneasiness.
Lin Xiaoxiao patted Brother Lin's shoulder comfortingly, she wanted to pat her head but couldn't reach it. Little Brother Lin is the tallest one in the Lin family, he is only 18 years old but has grown to 1.8 meters, Lin Xiaoxiao is not less than 1.7 meters born by a mother, Brother Lin is the same brother, he is only in his early 1.7 meters, the difference between the brothers is more than ten centimeters, not to mention the height difference between Lin Xiaoxiao.
Father Lin bought the ferry tickets and sent them on the boat in person, and Mrs. Lin, who had been closed after encountering danger, also insisted on going out to send them on the boat, which was not a little distance. They had to go from the capital to the port, but the capital did not have its own port, and they had to go to other cities to board the ship.
It's not a long distance, but it takes a day to take a train or a car, and it's not easy. It's good that Father Lin is a person who often goes out, but Mrs. Lin rarely goes far away, so it can be said that it is the first time that she has traveled such a long distance.
Father Lin drove all the family's cars, and specially borrowed two cars to load luggage and servants, a total of five cars to drive, which was already a very imposing small fleet.
Although there are many pedestrians, no one dares to stop the car, the road from the capital to the port was the main official road hundreds of years ago, and it is very smooth to walk, and eating, drinking and lazing along the way are not a problem.
Lin Xiaoxiao sat in the car but felt uncomfortable, the cars of this era are not as comfortable as the cars of a few decades later. She waited for a day in the car to reach her destination, her legs and feet were already swollen, and the small leather shoes on her feet couldn't be put on.
Fortunately, she expected this to happen before she went out, and she had a pair of embroidered shoes on the car, and when she got out of the car, she changed into comfortable old-fashioned cloth shoes, so that she could walk on the ground.
Mrs. Lin's feet were even more swollen than her, and she handed over specially prepared embroidered shoes, but she was disgusted with rusticism. Mrs. Lin also deliberately changed into a dress when she went out, and she dressed up ceremoniously in order to send off her two sons, of course, she didn't want the old-fashioned embroidered shoes to ruin the perfect image.
Lin Xiaoxiao was rejected by her mother-in-law, she was not angry and did not continue to persuade them, they were the boat tomorrow morning, and now the car is parked in the hotel where she is resting. Mrs. Lin's feet were uncomfortable and she couldn't walk a few steps, so why shouldn't she be interested.
The conditions of the hotel are not much better, but after all, it is a new thing for foreigners, and it is definitely better than the inn. Lin Xiaoxiao is not dissatisfied, no matter how clean the inn is, there will be no flush toilet, and she will choose to stay in the hotel even if she rushes this.
Early the next morning, the Lin family got up early to prepare for the upcoming separation.
The three siblings' luggage was put away early, there was food and water on the boat, and they didn't need to prepare any extra food, but Mrs. Lin still didn't worry about letting the maid run errands to buy a lot of local specialties and snacks for them to eat on the boat.
Brother Lin looked at a bunch of sweets helplessly, he had stopped eating these things for a long time, Lin Xiaoxiao also ate less, only Brother Lin was growing his body, and he could stuff a lot of food into his stomach.
Brother Lin said goodbye to Mrs. Lin with red eyes, he had never left his parents when he was so old, he wanted to cry uncomfortably, but he could take care of his face and hold back his tears.
Lin Xiaoxiao pushed Brother Lin and asked him not to cry at this time, but he didn't see that his mother couldn't help crying, but Father Lin also had worry and reluctance in his eyes, and he didn't know what the result would be when he got on the boat.
Lin Xiaoxiao saw that the atmosphere was heavy, and took the initiative to stand up and say relaxed words, reassuring everyone that they must be safe.
Mrs. Lin regretted not going to the temple to offer incense at this time, and she should have gone to worship the Bodhisattva before the children went out, and then asked for a few peace charms. At this time, she thought that it was too late, and she stomped her feet with some chagrin, but drove away a trace of sadness.
"Alright, you guys hurry up and get on board, don't make a mistake." Father Lin saw that there were a lot of people on the boat, and he also began to urge Lin Xiaoxiao and let them go.
"Dad, don't worry, there is still half an hour to leave the ship, let the eldest mother and the younger brother talk again." Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the crowd queuing up to get on the boat, it was still early to leave the boat, they could wait for someone to get on and go over almost later.
"Don't say it, if you have anything to say when I get to Hong Kong City, you guys hurry up, don't be too late!" Mrs. Lin glanced at the crowd in line, and was more anxious than Father Lin.
Brother Lin held her hand: "Mother, don't worry, we bought a first-class ticket, and no one in the back can grab our place." ”
"Really?" Mrs. Lin had never been out of the house and didn't understand these rules, so she turned her head and asked Father Lin.
"Mother, of course it's true, we have to check in with the right number after we get on the ship, and no one can occupy our room." Brother Lin has never been far away, but he has already inquired about all kinds of details before going out, but he can help Mrs. Lin solve her doubts.
"You guys should also get on early, what if this ship has to leave first, you should leave quickly." Mrs. Lin temporarily let go of her reluctance and urged them to hurry on board.
At the urging of his parents, Brother Lin took his younger siblings and the family's maid bodyguards on the boat together.
