Glancing at the tea on the table, Jiang Wang beckoned, "Auntie, have you had dinner?" I'll go to the restaurant to book a table later." ”

"Hey, I'll order it!" Du Yehu was amnesty, "I'm familiar with all the restaurants in Fenglin City!"

Aunt Song sat down and waved her hand, "Don't worry, Auntie is here to find you for something this time." ”

Looking at Jiang An'an, who was secretly observing him, Jiang Wanghui smiled softly, and said in his mouth: "What do you say?" ”

Aunt Song touched Jiang An'an's little head: "Why don't you go out with these two big brothers?" ”

Du Yehu immediately opened his arms to Xiao An'an, and his big face was wrinkled together with a big smile like an old chrysanthemum, "Come, Brother Tiger will take you to buy something delicious!"

Ling He also said consciously: "Don't worry, we have a lifelong friendship with Jiang Wang, and we must take care of An An." ”

Xiao An'an is very sensible, although she is very timid, but when Aunt Song spoke, she was still timid - she took a few steps to the side of the Ling River.

No matter how you look at it, Ling He, who has a straight face and a gentle smile, is much more reliable than Du Yehu, who has an exaggerated and terrifying smile with a beard on his face.

Ling He led Jiang An'an out with great relief, but Du Yehu glared at Jiang Wang fiercely before leaving, and his eyes clearly said-What does your sister mean?

After a few people were taken away, Jiang Wang restrained his smile, looked at Aunt Song and said, "Fengxi Town has been calm recently, is the shop at home okay?"

"It's not a big problem, it's just ......" Aunt Song twisted a little.

Jiang Wang was patient, "If there is anything, you can just say it." ”

"Since your father left, the business in the shop has been getting worse day by day, and seeing that our mother's life is almost over......" As she spoke, Aunt Song suddenly took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

The only remaining shop in the family is a medicinal herb business, although the scale is not large, but it is a channel for many years, and it is also well-known in the entire Fengxi Town. At that time, the family was in the middle of the road, and almost all the properties were sold, but this medicinal herb shop was left alone, precisely because of its longevity. With this shop in hand, although it is not said that it can be rich and expensive, it is impossible to say that it is difficult to make a living.

What kind of talent can operate a long-term medicinal herb shop in just a few years?

Jiang Wang is not a fool, he also deliberately told him some business things when his father was still alive earlier, just to let him go back to live a down-to-earth life if he can't practice.

He knew there must be a problem, but Jiang Wang just said, "Is there anything I can help with, auntie?"

He thought that if he wanted some gold and silver, he would be able to scrape some together. No matter what, after all, Jiang Anan is his only sister. Even if it's just for Jiang Anan's sake, he hopes that they will live a better life.

"I know that Xiao Wang is used to working hard, and he will definitely have a good future in the future. But Aunt ......" Aunt Song wiped her tears, "Auntie is a woman, and she has no skills, so she really can't hold on......"

She looked at Jiang Wang with teary eyes: "Can An An give it to you in the future?"

The last trace of warmth in Jiang Wang's eyes also dissipated.

He could never have imagined that this woman didn't even want her own daughter.

Jiang Wang nodded slowly, and then said, "It seems that my aunt has promised a good family?"

Aunt Song lowered her eyes slightly. It was only at this time, in front of her deceased husband's eldest son, that she suddenly felt a trace of shame. From the deepest part of my heart, I slowly drilled out.

"Weddings and funerals are human nature. Jiang Wang never said anything serious, "So does An An know that she will be with me in the future?"

"She doesn't know yet. Aunt thought, let's ask your opinion first. You know, she's always been timid and afraid of people. Even if I take her with me, she won't have a good time......" Although Aunt Song was explaining, her voice became lower and lower.

"I see. Jiang Wang interrupted her, "Did I tell her, or did you tell her?"

"You tell her......" Aunt Song said, "I ...... This is the time to go, and the carriage is still waiting for me outside the city. ”

Jiang Wang was silent for a while, "It's okay." Then I won't send it. ”

"Every month, I will send you two taels of silver. ”

"No, I don't. I can still afford to raise An An. Auntie, you...... Take care of yourself. ”

"Huh. You're on good terms with An An. Aunt Song got up after saying that.

took two steps out, suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Jiang Wang with tears in his eyes: "An An doesn't like to eat winter melon, he likes to eat eggplant, and he likes sweets the most...... But you can't give her more to eat. ”

"She often kicks the quilt when she sleeps...... She...... She is young and ignorant, and you have to be a brother more. ”

"Auntie. Jiang Wang didn't want to say anything more, but when he saw Aunt Song behaving like this, he couldn't help but say, "I don't know if you remember?" At the beginning, my father could have lasted another two years, but he refused to treat it and wanted to leave the family property to you. Let you take good care of my younger sister......"

Aunt Song was speechless and hid her face and left.

Jiang Wang sat in a daze, and after a long time, he poured himself a cup of tea.

Over the years, he has been seeking the Tao outside, no matter how hard it is, he has never reached out to his family to ask for a tael of silver. It was because of the thought that her father was sick in bed, and Aunt Song and An An had a difficult life. It's because I think that my father would rather die early than drag them down. And how can he take the family's money?

Although he is the undisputed heir to that large family fortune.

The conversation of the year seems to ring in my ears again:

"Xiao Wang, you've grown up, you can take care of yourself, right?"

"Yes, Father. ”

The immature figure seems to coincide with this moment, and the time that has passed through these years has converged.

"And I can take care of An An. Jiang Wang said softly.

......

Ling He and Du Yehu took Jiang An'an around a little and came back.

"Hey, where's Aunt?" Du Yehu asked without thinking.

Ling He subconsciously wanted to pull An An tight, but the little hand had already stubbornly withdrawn out.

Jiang looked over, and the little girl who was less than five years old stood in silence, biting her lip lightly, and her big black eyes didn't blink.

She stood between Ling He and Du Yehu, but she seemed to be isolated somewhere in the vast world.

She didn't cry or make a fuss.

Jiang Wang strode over, half-squatted down, and embraced the small figure into his arms. It also pulls her back from the loneliness of that corner of the world. Pull back to the living world.

"An An, you will live with your brother in the future. My brother will play with you often, just like we used to. I don't know if you still remember, how young you were at that time......"

"Yes, yes, Brother Tiger will often play with you in the future!" Du Yehu also hurriedly remedied.

Xiao An'an glanced at him, turned his gaze expressionlessly, and then gently buried his little head on Jiang Wang's shoulder.

"Alright. Jiang Wang hugged An An and stood up, "An An will come with me in the future, it's not convenient to live in the dormitory, I have to find a place to live first." Let's have dinner together again. ”

"It's time to decide where to live. Ling He took out two pieces of broken silver from his arms and stuffed them into Jiang Wang's hand without saying anything: "You take this bit of silver." ”

After entering the inner gate, Ling He's life was not so poor, and the Taoist Academy would issue money every month. But these two pieces of broken silver are all his belongings.

"Ah, yes, yes. Du Yehu was inspired, and immediately began to touch all over his body, but in the end, he only made up four knife coins and put them into Jiang Wang's hand, "I have drunk all the money this month." ”

Immediately, he swore again: "Next month, next month, I won't drink, save money to buy new clothes for An An!"

Jiang Wang was not polite, put the money in his pocket casually, and went out with Jiang An'an in his arms.

They had all walked away, but Du Yehu was still leaning against the door and looking, "Xiao An'an is too cute! Hey Lao Ling, why don't you think I don't have a sister?"

"Old Ling?" Du Yehu turned around, and Ling He was already sitting up on his bed.

My sister with a full beard, how terrible it must be. Ling He thought to himself.

"Just like the third child, they are all cultivators!" Du Yehu muttered, walked to the window, picked up the cup of tea that Jiang Wang had poured before, and poured it down violently.

"Bah, bah!" Du Yehu took a few sips, "Why is this tea so bitter?"

"Forget it!" Ling He didn't have a good breath.
