"Huh?"

Tong Sanniang couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the title of 'sister-in-law of the Li family', and her eyebrows tightened as if she was thinking about something.

His husband's family is indeed surnamed Li, but as early as seven years ago, he died in an accident when he went to Mangshan to look for spiritual grass, so she has not heard the title of 'sister-in-law of the Li family' for several years.

But what made her feel even more strange was that someone who came called herself 'sister-in-law' must also be an acquaintance.

But she thought about it, looked left and right, and only felt that the person who came seemed to be a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.

When the visitor walked in front of her, she frowned and asked, "Did you recognize the wrong person?" ”

“……”

Ji Bochang also knew that after more than 20 years, it was normal for the other party not to recognize him, so he asked with a smile: "Daoyou's surname is Tong?" Taoist couples called Li Hongyan? ”

"Yes..."

Tong Sanniang nodded, thinking that he was a friend of her deceased husband's acquaintance outside, and said quite vigilantly: "But it has been nearly seven years since my husband's death, and right and wrong should be cut off." ”

"Sister-in-law misunderstood..."

Ji Bochang changed back to the title of sister-in-law again, and then pointed to the small courtyard behind her and said with a smile: "More than 20 years ago, did a family surnamed Ji live here?" ”

"Do you know Uncle Ji?"

Tong Sanniang was reminded by him, as if she had thought of something but didn't dare to confirm it, so she pointed at him and asked, "Are you surnamed Ji?" ”

"Not bad..."

Ji Bo often smiled in a teasing tone: "My surname is Ji, my name is Ji Bochang, my father Ji Pingchang, I don't know if my sister-in-law still has an impression?" ”

Ji Bochang's father, Ji Pingchang, was friendly with a monk surnamed Li in Wuyi Lane, and the two often discussed the skills of alchemy, so he often went to Uncle Li's house when he was a child.

The monk surnamed Li has a son named Li Hongyan in his family, who is much older than Ji Bo and often takes him to play.

And Tong Sanniang in front of him is Li Hongyan's Taoist companion.

"Ji Bochang!?"

Tong Sanniang finally thought of why she felt that the person in front of her was familiar, but she still asked with a look of disbelief: "Are you really Bochang?" ”

"It's like a fake."

Ji Bochang arched his hand and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, do you remember me?" ”

"Remember!!"

Tong Sanniang seemed to have thought of something interesting, and a slight smile appeared on her cheeks, and she said: "I remember that you were a child when I married your eldest brother Hongyan, but there were a lot of ghost ideas when I was in the cave room, which made your eldest brother Hongyan drink a lot of wine. ”

"Hahahaha~"

Ji Bo often laughed out loud when he thought of the scene at that time, and there was a sense that an interesting thing happened yesterday...

Tong Sanniang also showed a look of remembrance, and then sighed and said: "If your eldest brother Hongyan is still here, I should be very happy to see you come back." ”

“……”

Ji Bochang bowed his head slightly, and asked casually, "Why did Brother Hong Yan leave?" ”

"Seven years ago, when he went to Mangshan to look for spirit grass, he had an accident and died in the hands of a second-order demon beast."

"Sister-in-law's Day mourning..."

"Nothing..."

Tong Sanniang just smiled indifferently, then touched her daughter's head, and said: "People can't be resurrected after death, and it's like that after a long time, it's just that An An's child suffers." ”

“……”

Ji Bochang bowed slightly, looked at the little girl beside her, and asked, "The girl's name is Li An'an?" ”

Xu inherited the advantages of her mother, the little girl is pink and tender, and there are two buns on her head, not only the appearance is excellent, but what is even more rare is that there is a bit of aura between the eyebrows, which is very delicate.

"Tong An'an..."

Tong Sanniang shook her head, a little helpless, and a little sour explained: "A few years after Uncle Ji passed away, our in-laws also left one after another when they went out in an accident.

When your eldest brother Hongyan also leaves, I will have no relatives, and An Anna will still be in my womb, and after birth, I will also follow my surname. ”

She paused in her voice, touched her daughter's little head, and said with a smile: "I named An'an, I hope she can grow up and become an adult safely." ”

“……”

Ji Bochang nodded thoughtfully, and echoed and said, "An'an, it's good." ”

"I think so too..."

Tong Sanniang seemed to think of something, and introduced to the little girl beside her: "An An, this is your Uncle Ji, call Uncle Ji~"

The little girl seemed to be a little afraid of life, so she hid behind her mother and poked her head, and shouted timidly: "Uncle Ji is good~"

"Hahahaha, good, good."

Xu is the reason why he was in a good mood after revisiting the old place and meeting the old man, Ji Bo was often laughed sweetly by this 'Uncle Ji', and immediately touched the storage bag.

I wanted to wrap a red envelope as a meeting gift, but I thought that the only red envelope in my storage bag was the 'dowry' given by Liu's mother, so it was inconvenient to give it away.

As if he had thought of something, he pulled out a wooden box from his storage bag...

The tower-shaped box is hollowed out in the middle, and several small wooden horses that can be rotated are carved inside, which is very exquisite.

He unscrewed the mechanism on the back, only to see the box shrink from the top, and a circle of spinning wooden horses floated out, and the paddles hidden in the box were also plucked, and a very rhythmic 'jingle' sounded with it.

The sound is like a wind chime swaying in the wind, and like the crisp chime when the strings are plucked, it is very pleasant...

This music box is a gadget he made when he studied Yanshu, although there is nothing special, but it is better because of the exquisite workmanship, it is relatively novel, and it is suitable for the little girl's greeting gift.

Ji Bochang looked at the little girl's surprised and loving eyes, half-squatted down and handed over the box in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is called a music box, it is a small gift from Uncle Ji to you~"

“……”

The little girl pursed the corners of her lips when she heard this, she obviously wanted it but didn't dare to reach out to take it, so she could only mumble timidly: "My mother said that An An can't take other people's things casually." ”

"But didn't you just call Uncle Ji?"

"yes..."

"Then Uncle Ji is no one else, right?"

Ji Bochang smiled and said: "You call me Uncle Ji, then this music box is a gift from Uncle Ji to you, so this is your thing, not 'someone else's thing'~"

"Ah......h

The little girl thought for a while and did not make a detour, so she had to blink her eyes wide and shift her gaze to her mother.

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, Tong Sanniang saw her like this, how could she not see her affection, and immediately smiled: "This is a meeting gift from Uncle Ji, if you like it, accept it." ”

"Uh-huh, like..."

When the little girl saw her mother speak, she took the music box with a happy face, held it in her hand and looked left and right, and loved it very much.

"Thank you, Uncle Ji~"

"Hey, you're welcome~"

Ji Bochang also responded with a smile, and then half-squatted to teach her how to twist the switch of the music box and how to turn it off.

Tong Sanniang was smiling when she saw her daughter playing with him, clapping her hands and exclaiming from time to time, and she didn't know what she thought, and she was faintly distracted...

After coming back to her senses, she also said with a smile on her cheeks: "An An, did you just let Uncle Ji play with you at the door?" ”

"Aang?"

The little girl looked at her mother and asked puzzledly, "Then where should Uncle Ji and I go?" ”

Tong Sanniang looked at Ji Bochang and said, "Bochang, it's rare for you to come back, why don't you go in and sit?" ”

The little girl seemed to react and muttered, "Yes, Uncle Ji is a guest, and he should go to the house to play with An An again." ”

"This ......"

Ji Bochang subconsciously looked around when he heard this, and said meaningfully: "Sister-in-law, it's not appropriate for me to go in, right?" ”

Although it is an uncle and sister-in-law's old acquaintance, but after all, there is a difference between men and women, and it is still a widow's door, if it is seen by others, it is inevitable that there will be gossip...

Tong Sanniang also knew the meaning of his words, and asked with raised eyebrows, "Are you worried about your reputation?" ”

"No, no..."

Ji Bochang hurriedly shook his head, and said, "What reputation do I want as a big man?" I'm afraid that people will see it, and my sister-in-law's reputation will not be good..."

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
