Mrs. Li pointed to the big boat with her little granddaughter and said with a smile, "Your boat looks really not small, and it must be spacious inside." If you don't mind, can you give us a ride? In the same boat, this goat's milk can of course be drunk by two children. ”

Li Lao Er and the others' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they stepped forward to salute very tacitly, "This master, we all have the strength, we can help with the work, and we can do some fist and foot kung fu, and we can help resist when we encounter difficulties on the road." ”

Tao Hongying was also not to be outdone, and then said, "I can help with laundry and cooking, my ancestors have been in the imperial kitchen, and the food I cook is delicious and clean." ”

Even Jiaren and Jiayi also shouted, "We can wipe the deck and run errands for the night." ”

The middle-aged steward didn't expect the Li family to have such a proposal, but if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible. They came out in a hurry this time, and they didn't have enough people, otherwise there wouldn't be only one nurse by the master's side.

If the family had come on board to help with the work, he would have been more relieved. But he is just a steward, and he still has to go back and ask his master.

"Old sister, I have to go back and tell the master, the master is probably asleep at this time, tomorrow morning, if it doesn't work out, I will let someone give you an answer."

Of course, Mrs. Li agreed, and the middle-aged steward took the little maid back to the boat.

The Li family breathed a sigh of relief, and the eyes of the Li family were filled with joy when they looked at each other.

Only Wu Cuihua'er, who was free, muttered, but she didn't dare to speak out under Li Laoer's cold eyes.

Mrs. Li told Li Laosi to take care of the sheep, and then sat in a daze while holding Jiayin.

This matter is related to the future fate of the Li family, if it is done, they will not have to travel thousands of miles as a family. In this troubled world, if you settle down a day earlier, you will be able to avoid more accidents and dangers.

Jiayin felt the trembling of her grandmother's palms, sighed in her heart, twisted her little head to the side to look around, and the rest of the Li family also had their eyes open in the night, and none of them could fall asleep.

The bonfire next to the donkey cart was swaying by the river breeze, just like the mood of the Li family now, and even if there was only a glimmer of hope, they were eager to seize it.

Jiayin stretched out her little hand to hold Mrs. Li's big hand, babbling and calling her.

"Is Fu Niu'er hungry? Jiaren, squeeze the goat's milk and boil it! Mrs. Li hurriedly patted her granddaughter and called her grandson for help.

The Li family seemed to have been turned on by this voice, and they got up and got busy, which diluted Fang Cai's apprehension.

The child's body couldn't last long, and Jiayin drank goat's milk for a while, and then fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, it was already slightly bright.

The Li family really didn't sleep all night, their eyes were red, and they were anxiously waiting for the people on the boat to come.

When the sun completely jumped out of the ground, a small guy finally jumped out of the big boat, and trotted all the way to the Li family, "Our lady agreed, you guys quickly pack up your things and get on the boat with me!" ”

Before Xiaowu's words fell, the joy on the faces of the Li family could not be concealed.

What Xiaowu brought was not only good news, but also the hope of the Li family's survival. No more sleeping in the open and worrying.

It was Mrs. Li, who had always been strong, who turned her head and wiped her tears, Tao Hongying hugged her daughter and kissed her again, and Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru hugged each other and cried.

Jia Xi and Jia An jumped all over the place, venting their ecstasy.

The hearts of everyone who have been hanging all night can finally return to their stomachs now.

Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter from Tao Hongying's arms, pressed her little face, and whispered, "It's all my granddaughter who is blessed, she gives herself rations, and she also finds a way for the whole family to live!" ”

"Old lady, let's go quickly, how many people are watching, it will be troublesome if we delay any longer." The little guy couldn't help but urge.

The Li family woke up and hurriedly got up. Li Lao Er was originally a bookkeeper, and the only donkey in the family was handed over to him to sell. Although he only took half of the money, it went well.

After such a while, everyone also packed their luggage, and quickly followed the little guy to the boat under the eager eyes of the other victims of envy and jealousy.

Last night's middle-aged steward was waiting on the side of the boat, and when he saw that the dairy goat was the first to be carried onto the boat by Li Laosi, he smiled and pointed to the little guy and said.

"The place where you live has been arranged, follow Wang Fu to put your luggage."

The Li family all saluted and thanked him, and the middle-aged steward said, "My name is Wang Jian, you can call me Wang Steward in the future." After that, he turned to Mrs. Li and said, "Old lady, our wife heard that the child in your family is not yet full moon, and told me to take the child to her to have a look, you can tidy it up, and let me go."

Our wife is very depressed all day on the boat, so you can gossip with your wife, and you don't have to be nervous. ”

Mrs. Li didn't dare not agree, so she took Tao Hongying and hurriedly went to the cabin to change into clean clothes, then hugged Jiayin, and followed Steward Wang to the room in front of the big ship.

"Madam, the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are here." Steward Wang knocked lightly on the door, and when he heard an answer from inside, he cautiously pushed the door open and led Mrs. Li and them in.

This big ship looks very magnificent, but I didn't expect the rooms on the ship to be more delicate and gorgeous, with oily pineapple wood tables and chairs, and flexible snow-white carved window lattices covered with cotton paper.

There was also an orange copper incense burner on the table, and the smoke wafted out of the hole above, filling the room with a calming scent.

When did Mrs. Li see such a scene, she was a little dazed by the impact of wealth in her eyes, but it was only for a moment, she quickly suppressed her thoughts and stood behind Steward Wang with low eyebrows.

Tao Hongying also stood at the back with Jiayin in her arms, her eyes fell on the floor half a meter in front of her toes, quiet and calm.

The woman sitting on the chair by the window looked to be in her thirties, dressed in a light purple brocade dress, with black hair tied into a simple bun, and a delicate jewel-encrusted hairpin on her head, which lined her snow-skinned red lips.

The little girl she was holding in her arms was about half a year old, carved in pink, with jet-black pupils moist and smart, wearing a crimson dress, and she was also rich and noble.

The noble lady was very satisfied with the rules of Mrs. Li and her daughter-in-law, and when she looked at the swaddling clothes in their arms, her eyes were even softer.

She had no heirs in her early years, in order to ask for a son, she burned incense and worshiped Buddha everywhere, did good deeds and accumulated merits, and she got a daughter when she was close to thirty, and now it is the time when mother's love is overflowing.

Therefore, as soon as Steward Wang said it this morning, she agreed to the Li family to get on the boat. After all, poor people value silver very seriously. It is really rare for the Li family to give up gold and silver for the sake of their children.

"Sit down, and be unrestrained."

Mrs. Sun raised her hand and motioned for Mrs. Li and her daughter-in-law to sit down.

Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying thanked each other and only dared to sit on half of the chairs. Mrs. Li thought about it, lowered her voice, but said very sincerely, "Thank you Madame for allowing our family to take the boat, Madame can rest assured, our family will keep to ourselves, will not cause trouble on the ship, and will try our best to repay Madame's kindness." ”

This is true, Mrs. Sun listened to it comfortably, and she wanted to speak, but she saw Jiayin stretching her neck vigorously, as if she wanted to watch a lively scene. The little face is white and clean, fat, and it makes people happy when they look at it.
