Chapter 669: Rising to the Challenge
Mrs. Li frowned, and after thinking about it, she comforted them, "Don't make a noise first, the hands in our family are all fine and clean, and the way to come is clear."
"The people in the village are fighting with us to escape the famine here, our family is good, everyone is good.
"If it's bad for our family, it's not good for everyone, so it's not necessarily as you guessed.
"You know, Hailan Army has also been in Xindu for a few days, maybe someone knows Jiayi and is familiar with his affairs in the south, and accidentally said that he leaked his mouth."
These words reminded Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
I have to say, the ginger is still old and spicy.
The old lady is old, and her actions are steady and thoughtful.
"Then wait for Jiayi to come back in the evening, and let's ask."
Tao Hongying was relieved, and remembered that she didn't buy roast chicken for her nephew, so she called the little girl to catch two ducks, roasted them directly, and ate roast duck burritos at night, which was a substitute for roast chicken.
When it was dark, Jiaren Jiayi and a few other brothers came back from outside with a smile, smelled the aroma in the yard, and their feet sped up a little.
"Fourth aunt, do you want to eat roast duck tonight?"
Jiayi asked with a smile, which made Tao Hongying respond with a smile: "Yes, your grandmother asked me to buy roast chicken for you to satisfy your hunger, but I forgot it for a while, so I quickly roasted the duck."
"You deal with it, take a bite, and eat roast chicken tomorrow."
Jiayi hurriedly waved his hand, "The duck roasted by the fourth aunt is 10,000 times more delicious than the roast chicken outside." With roast duck, who still eats roast chicken! ”
Tao Hongying was coaxed to close her mouth, and her subordinates became even more busy.
After a while, Li Zhensheng and the others also came back.
Only Hou Ye and Li Laosi went back to the dock barracks.
But there are enough twenty people in the family together, and it is still lively to eat together.
Two roast ducks, Jiayi wrapped one by himself, and he was satisfied.
When the table was removed, everyone gathered together to talk.
Mrs. Li asked about the rumors outside, and when Li Lao Er saw the eldest brother drinking tea and the third brother looking at the sky, he knew that this arduous task had fallen on him.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Mother, next year is a critical year for the Northern Expedition, and some people who oppose the emperor, or those who don't want to succeed in the Northern Expedition, are afraid that they will make trouble for our family."
"We have discussed with Master Hou, and we want you to take your family to Quanzhou to live for a while, and by the way, we will check for your family and settle your family affairs.
"Here in Xindu, you don't have to worry about the old and young in the family, we are not afraid of fighting with each other."
Going to Quanzhou?
Mrs. Li and the others were stunned when they heard this, and then they thought about it and felt that it was good.
Li Zhensheng set up yards and shops and other industries in Quanzhou, and everyone knows about it.
Moreover, the boys also talked about the scenery of the seaside, and everyone was moved by it.
Especially as a woman, there are not many opportunities to go out of the house, and if you can go thousands of miles away to see it, it will really be enough to show off for a lifetime.
But nowadays, going south is equivalent to taking refuge, not playing idlely.
Therefore, Tao Hongying was the first to speak: "Mother, you take your family to the south for a walk, and I will stay at home." ”
"No, Fourth Aunt, you go to the south with your grandmother, I should stay and look after the house." Wan'er hurriedly grabbed the conversation.
Wen Juan also joined in the fun, "I won't leave, Brother Huan will definitely stay in charge of the restaurant, I will accompany him, and I can also take care of the family."
"No, you all go to the south, I'll stay, and there are ......no people left and right in the academy canteen," Zhao Yuru also waved his hand.
For a while, there was a lot of noise in the house.
In the end, Li Lao Er coughed twice and said: "Don't fight, everyone, this time going south is not for fun, but for the preservation and continuation of our Li family."
"We have already discussed with Hou Ye, Jiaren and Brother Li will stay for the exam, Jiahuan will stay to run the restaurant, the third child will guard the college canteen, and the rest of the mother, two younger siblings, nieces and daughters-in-law, and children will all go south.
Mrs. Wen took the stars with her, and Hui Niang and her two children also accompanied her.
"It's best to ask Liu Darttou's family again tomorrow, Liu Yang wants to get married, and it is estimated that they will also go together......"
Li Zhensheng and Li Laosan also nodded, and Li Zhensheng echoed: "This matter is decided, no one should say more, it can't be changed." ”
Tao Hongying was in a hurry, and she was annoyed at the time, "No! With such a big yard, you can't leave someone to guard it!
"Besides, the New Year is going to be a ceremony soon, and there are Jiaren and Brother Li'er exams, eating, drinking, and dressing, how can I do it without anyone taking care of me?"
Li Lao Er and the others all looked at Jiayin, but Jiayin really couldn't dodge, so he could only face the difficulties.
"Mother, that ...... I am the lord of the county, and I can't leave the fiefdom without permission.
"So, I won't go to Quanzhou with you this time, I will take care of the trivial things at home, you can rest assured!"
Tao Hongying's eyes widened instantly, and she was even more uneasy!
Li Lao Er was afraid that his brother and daughter-in-law would be mad, so he hurriedly withdrew under the pretext that he had documents to write.
Before leaving, he hadn't forgotten to instruct, "Keep this matter secret, and beware of someone getting in the way." ”
Li Zhensheng and Li Laosan also smeared oil on the soles of their feet, and shouted their sons and nephews to slip away together.
Leaving a room full of old girls, big eyes to small eyes, all anxious and angry.
Tao Hongying pulled her daughter's hand and wanted to say something, but she knew that she would definitely not be able to persuade her daughter, so she was impatient and irritable, so her eyes turned red.
Jiayin was startled, hurriedly hugged her mother, and comforted her with a smile, "Mother, others don't know, don't you know?"
"How smart your daughter is, the Wu family was so calculating before, they didn't treat me well, even if someone thinks about it in the future, it will definitely not hurt me, don't worry!"
"Fart!" Tao Hongying saw that her daughter didn't care, so she burst into a foul mouth angrily, pulled her daughter and slapped her back twice.
"Your mother hasn't been smoked by the fumes, and you lied to me as a child?!
"Who are you left to face, you know best in your heart, is that what you can deal with as a hairy girl?
"Your father-in-law will take a detour when he sees him!
"When your father-in-law and your father are on the march, your second uncle and third uncle are men, once you are summoned into the palace, they can't help you if they want to!"
The more Tao Hongying spoke, the more frightened she became, and she shook her daughter's hand and didn't dare to let go, so she made up her mind.
"No, if you don't go, my mother won't go.
"Where are you, where is my mother!"
Mrs. Li also had a headache as if it was about to crack, and occasionally when she couldn't sleep at night, she also thought about it, whether to send her granddaughter to Quanzhou to avoid it.
If there is a Wu family, there will be a second.
If you can fight one at home, you may not be able to fight the second!
It is safest to send the children to a distant place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so you don't have to face these intrigues.
But she was reluctant, so she didn't open her mouth to discuss it with her sons.
Who would have thought that now she really wants to go south, but she is leaving, leaving her granddaughter to face danger......
"No, no, it's not okay to talk about it!" Mrs. Li waved her hand, "Hongying, Yuru, you take the children away, and I will stay and sit in ......."
"Milk, I'm not leaving!"
"yes, milk, I'm going to stay."
"I'm not leaving, I can't leave the cafeteria, or I'm looking after the house!"
Zhao Yuru, Wan'er, and Wen Juan also grabbed it, needless to say, a new round of quarrels fell into the house......
