"They both slept, and they were tired after tossing for so long today." The little lady hugged a pile of change of clothes and said to Jiang Li, who was still sitting on the ground in a daze.

Jiang Li nodded, stood up and patted the dust on his body.

"I have to leave early tomorrow morning, and Ping'er will trouble you to take care of it."

Xiao Niang nodded, she already knew that Jiang Li had worshiped the teacher, so she needed to go back, so she didn't keep it too much.

Xiao Niang stepped forward and patted the dust on Jiang Li's shoulder, "Go to sleep." ”

"At most, two to three years, I'll come back and take Ping'er away." Jiang Li thought for a moment and said.

"It's okay, I like this girl very much, you just have to do what you have to do." Xiao Niang said with a smile.

Jiang Li pursed his lips and wanted to say something more.

"Don't say anything else, I have long regarded you as my own brother, so there is no need to worry about this little thing." The little lady turned around and said as she walked, "Ping'er is just a trivial matter, in the future, brother, you will be prosperous, don't forget our mother and son." ”

Jiang Li looked at her departing back, sister and brother? Jiang Li took out the jade pendant in his arms and touched it, under the moonlight, the crystal jade pendant exuded a dazzling luster.

"Mother......

Hearing that Xiao Niang regarded herself as a younger brother, he felt a little unsatisfied. He doesn't know why, he can always feel a different family affection in Xiaoniang.

It seems, is it mother's love? He couldn't tell.

The reason why he wanted to help Ping'er may not be just because of the overflow of compassion, Jiang Li thought to himself. The main thing is that Ping'er wants to share the same life experience as herself, which makes Jiang Li feel the same way, and he can't get used to seeing her suffer in the world alone.

When Jiang Li was a child, at least Xun Ji was by his side, raising him and educating him. Otherwise, Jiang Li didn't know what he would become.

And after meeting Ping'er, Jiang Li also wanted to be a person like Xun Ji, at least he wouldn't let Ping'er endure all kinds of hardships again.

"You also rest early." After speaking, Jiang Li opened the door and heard a sound of grace not far away, so he opened the door, lightly, afraid of making noise to the bean sprouts that were already asleep. Gently lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The little lady returned to the room, carefully recalled Jiang Li's appearance just now, and couldn't help but smile.

This teenager has a story.

The first time she saw him, she felt it, although he looked optimistic and cheerful, but the worry in his eyebrows and eyes could not be hidden, she was sure that he had always seen people accurately.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Jiang Li pushed open the door of the room, and the deep winter turned into spring, and even the sun was a little warm when spring was not spring.

Jiang Li habitually yawned and looked at the two people who were arguing in the courtyard.

"I'm two months older than you, so you have to call me sister!"

"It's only been two months, it doesn't count!"

"A big day is a big day!"

"Impossible, this is my home, you have to call me big brother!"

……

Jiang Li shook his head and smiled helplessly, these two little guys are still in a row.

"Okay, bean sprouts, Ping'er is older than you, you should call him sister." Jiang Li walked over and said with a smile.

When Ping'er saw Jiang Li, she immediately ran over and grabbed his arm affectionately, "Big brother, you're awake." ”

Jiang Li touched her head and nodded.

"In the future, everyone will be a family, don't always talk about your family and my family, you know? Bean sprouts, you are a man, and in the future, you will have to rely on you to protect your sister and your mother, you know? Jiang Li continued to say to the bean sprouts.

Hearing Jiang Li say this, the bean sprouts nodded wiltedly like a deflated ball.

The bean sprouts didn't hear what Jiang Li meant, but Ping'er was a girl after all, so she was quick-witted, and after a little pondering, she heard a rough idea.

"Big brother, are you leaving?" Ping'er looked at Jiang Li, her nose was a little sour.

Jiang Li nodded and said with a smile: "I still have something to do, so I can't stay here." In the future, this will be your home, and your parents will come here to find you in the future. ”

"What if they don't come?" Ping'er asked.

"If they don't come, I'll come back to pick you up for two years at most, and I'll take you to your father and mother when the time comes."

"But, I want to follow you......" Ping'er's big smart eyes emitted a hint of moisture.

Since she was separated from her father, the people of these days have been sinister and the world is cold, and a six-year-old child has experienced too many things that she should not have experienced at her age.

Until she met Jiang Li, she could feel that this big brother was really good to herself.

"Ping'er, you are here, you will have a good life."

"Big brother, don't you want me anymore. I will definitely be obedient in the future and will not cause you trouble......" Ping'er buried her face in the crook of Jiang Li's arm and said in a voice with a hint of sobbing.

Jiang Li suddenly felt that his head was big, and he didn't know how to comfort her.

Bean Sprouts stood aside in a daze, thinking, is this Ping'er who fought with me for a brother just now?

"Ping'er is so sensible, why doesn't he want you?" At this time, the little lady walked out with a pot of cooked porridge, and happened to hear the conversation between the two, so she spoke out.

Ping'er heard Xiao Niang's voice and raised her head.

"Your big brother, he has something very important to do, and we can't get in the way of him too much, right?" Xiao Niang put down the small pot in her hand, squatted down, and said to Ping'er.

Ping'er nodded.

"Since that's the case, is it okay for Ping'er to stay here, in the future, we will be together, and when your eldest brother comes back, when the time comes, you can go wherever you want, do you think it's okay? If someone bullies Ping'er in the future, the big brother can help you get angry and beat the person who bullied you all over the ground! ”

When Ping'er heard this, she remembered the situation when Jiang Li taught the dog to leave them, perhaps remembering the embarrassed appearance when they left, and burst out laughing.

Ping'er raised her head and looked at Jiang Li, "Big brother." ”

"Huh?"

"Retractor."

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment.

"Aunt Jiang told me last night that you can't go back on the hook, you must come to me in the future."

Jiang Li glanced at Xiao Niang when he heard this, and Xiao Niang smiled at him and nodded.

Jiang Li also smiled and said dotingly: "Okay, I promise you." ”

"Hanging on the hook, it will not change for a hundred years, it has changed ......"

"Changed, changed......"

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I'm ready!"

"Good, good." Jiang Li couldn't do anything about her.

……

Yuehe Town.

This small eastern city has hardly changed its appearance in decades.

"I'm going to school!" Erdan opened the cage and took out a steaming bun from it, and shouted to his father and mother who were busy in the back room with both hands.

"Okay, stay safe on the road, hey, wait a minute." Erdan's mother walked out of the back room, wiped the flour on her hands with her apron, took out two letters from the cabinet, and handed them to Erdan.

"What's this?"

"I arrived last night, I forgot to tell you, it seems to have been sent by Jiang Li."

Sent by Jiang Li? Erdan hurriedly looked at the envelope, only to see that it was written "Erdan personally opened" and "Su Ying personally opened".

Erdan opened the letter that said "Erdan personally opened" and read it.

Erdan, I have successfully apprenticed. You also have to work hard, don't be a fool anymore, otherwise, in the future, the position of the general will not be your turn to do it...... Ask your father and mother for me, another letter, you help me hand it over to Ying'er, you do things, I don't worry. You also take care of yourself, if you encounter anything that can't be solved, don't be rash, and wait for me to settle accounts after I come back. Written by Jiang Li.

This kid really thinks he is the best in the world!

Erdan thought about it, if it was this kid, maybe it could really be ......

Erdan picked up the letter to Su Ying and walked out of the house briskly.

Erdan came to wait outside Su Ying's house, and now there is still a little time before the start of the school, like Erdan, go out in advance, just to avoid the shouting of his father. A family of gate valves like Su Ying has no such concerns. Su Ying's family also has a considerable property in the county town, and the reason why they settled in this Yuehe Town is just to be clean.

Seeing that Su Ying walked out, Erdan hurriedly stopped her.

"What?" Su Ying didn't seem to be in a very good mood, and she didn't give Erdan a good look at the moment.

"Uh...... "This Miss Su, did you eat gunpowder today?"

Su Ying didn't really want to, but his father told him early in the morning that the son of the Rao family in the county town was going to be a guest at home tonight, and asked her to come back early. She said something back.

"What does it matter to me that he's here?"

was so angry that her father stomped his feet, for this reason, the two quarreled early in the morning, and her father's thoughts were clearly grasped by her, didn't she just want him to make more friends with these children of the eunuchs, but she didn't like to get acquainted with these dignified sons, in her eyes, they were not as good as one ten-thousandth of Jiang Li.

It's still fun to stand brother!

Seeing her appearance, Erdan pretended to say in a deep voice: "Since you don't want to hear it, then I won't say it, alas, it's a pity, it's a pity......"

Seeing him playing with a treasure, Su Ying didn't want to pay attention to him, but she couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, so she had to change her smile and ask, "What's the pity?" ”

"Alas, I'm feeling sorry for an infatuated species in the distance."

Infatuation?

"Huh? Brother Li, you say? Su Ying was overjoyed, "Do you have news of him?" ”

"Alas...... Alas......"

"Don't you!" Su Ying was a little anxious.

Looking at Su Ying's attitude of going crazy, Erdan was also a little emotional, from childhood to adulthood, admiring Su Ying's talent, I don't know how many, but only Jiang Li can tug at her heartstrings.

"Well, this is a letter from Jiang Li to you." Erdan stopped teasing her, took out the letter and handed it to her.

Su Ying took the letter, looked at it carefully as if it had been a treasure, and then carefully put it away.

"Hey, won't you open it and take a look?" Erdan was a little puzzled.

"Don't look at it, go home and watch it slowly!" With that, he ran away.

"Alas, woman." Erdan sighed and chased after him.

……

"Ping'er, you are here, you have to listen to Aunt Jiang's words, don't quarrel with the bean sprouts, do you hear?" After cleaning up, Jiang Li led the horse to the entrance of the village and explained to Ping'er.

"Big brother, Ping'er must be fine, don't forget to pick me up, we have pulled the hook, but we can't regret it!" Ping'er said seriously.

Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "Okay, I won't forget, I will come back to see you when I have a chance in the future." ”

"Bean sprouts, I will rely on you to protect my sister and your mother in the future, you have to be ready."

Bean Sprouts nodded heavily, "Well, big brother, I will!" ”

"Go back, don't send it." Jiang Li turned his head and said to Xiao Niang.

"I'll send you a little longer."

Jiang Li pursed his lips, wanting to say something.

Xiao Niang stepped forward with a smile and gently hugged Jiang Li.

Ping'er's eyes widened, stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly covered the eyes of the bean sprouts.

"Take care."

"So are you."
