Chapter 620 The gap between dreams and reality
Li Laosan, Zhao Yuru, and even Jiaren looked at it and thought it was impossible.
So, they discussed it together and sent the two boys back.
After dinner, Li Laosan rubbed his hands and looked embarrassed, not knowing how to talk to his mother about business.
In the end, Mrs. Li spoke first, "Third child, do you want to ask the two boys to stop school and go out to work?"
Li Laosan was startled and said quickly: "Mom, don't do too much. If you don't agree, we won't let them out."
Mrs. Li smiled, patted her honest and filial son, and sighed: "I was a little reluctant to let go at first. After all, it's not peaceful outside, and these two boys are like monkeys. If they get into trouble or meet bad people, The family has no regrets...
“But they are kids, not chickens and ducks raised at home, so I’m afraid they can’t be trapped. Besides, everyone lives once, and if they can’t do whatever they want, wouldn’t they be reincarnated in vain?
“Two boys...if they want to leave, let them go!”
Before Li Laosan could respond, Jia'an and Jiaxi were already squealing and jumping up.
“Grandma! Did you really agree? We are free!”
"Oh! I want to go to the sea! I want to go to the other side of the sea to see the fairy island!"
The two of them hugged each other, as happy as the New Year.
When the family heard the commotion, they all gathered together.
Tao Hongying saw that her mother-in-law's eyes were still red, but the boys looked like this, so she was so angry that one of them slapped them.
After being beaten, the two boys finally noticed that their eyebrows were different. They stayed close to the grandma and hugged her arms on one side and the other on the right.
“Grandma, I can’t bear to leave you.”
"Me too."
The two of them wanted to imitate their younger sister's act of coquettishness, but unfortunately they were not born with this skill. So they only said these two dry sentences.
Old Mrs. Li was full of sourness, and now her grandson also laughed angrily.
“You two are like sticks. You don’t know if you will be burned as firewood when you go out like this!” Old Mrs. Li pulled their wrists and warned: “Don’t think that just because I promised you not to study, you think everything will be fine.
“After all, you are still too young, so I will stay at home for a while until my family prepares things for you, and then it will not be too late to leave.”
"Why, grandma!" Jia'an immediately protested: "We still want to follow the next boat back to Quanzhou."
"Yes, grandma, there will be fleets going to foreign countries during the Chinese New Year. We want to buy a boat and go to sea!" Jiaxi was also anxious.
Before the old lady could respond, Jiayin, who was sitting aside and chewing some fruit, spoke first.
“Brother, are you planning to buy a boat and go to sea? Do you know how much money it costs to buy a boat? How many boatmen and guards does a boat need?
“I heard that there are pirates on the sea. You can’t even kill a chicken. If you encounter a pirate, you may not even be able to withstand a sword!”
“Also, uncle said, our Tianwu silk and tea are very popular in foreign countries. A jar of tea can be exchanged for a gem. Do you want to take some with you? Do you have money to buy goods?
“The waves on the sea are very strong, and the boat capsizes accidentally. Do you know how to watch the sky? You can’t eat vegetables for several months at sea, and people will get sick and die. Do you know how to avoid it?
“How are you going to do business with the locals when you arrive in a foreign country and don’t understand the language? Be careful that people think you are intruders and kill you directly!”
She had a face full of curiosity and asked a lot of questions.
But Jia'an and Jiaxi's expressions became worse and worse. They wanted to refute several times, but they lacked the confidence. They didn’t know anything and had no capital. It was really too fanciful to say that they wanted to buy a boat and go to sea.
But if they were asked to give up just like that, they would not be willing to do so!
Jia'an relied on his identity as a brother and asked in a low voice: "Fu Niu'er, can't you help my brother buy a boat and buy goods? Don't worry, when we make money, we will give it to you. We don't want it!"
Mrs. Li and her granddaughter have a tacit understanding. Now she quickly joined in and hit her grandson, "What you said is really ridiculous!
"You don't even know how much money a boat costs, how can you ask your sister to provide money? Your sister's money does not come from strong winds. She just supplements your pocket money on weekdays. Do you want to prepare capital for you to travel in the world? ?
“Are you just pretending to be brothers? Don’t you blush? Even if your sister can afford the money, you don’t know anything. If you take the ship and goods to sea, you are going to die. You talk about making money, but you may lose everything!”
Jia'an and Jiaxi looked at each other, wilting like eggplants beaten by frost!
They just think that they can conquer the stars and the sea just by walking away.
Who would have thought that there are so many preparations before departure...
Jiayin was afraid that his brothers' young ambitions would be extinguished, so he quickly said: "Brother, it is not impossible to go to sea, but you must have a plan. For example, you must learn martial arts to protect yourself, learn foreign languages, and learn to sail and observe the sky!"
"As long as I have learned these things, going to sea will not mean risking death. I can give my brothers money to buy the best boats and goods!"
Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter and said with a smile: "As long as they can do this, no matter how hard it is for you to provide money, the family will be able to support them. I'm afraid that your two brothers are both cowards who can only talk big words. After hearing this, I’ve changed my mind about this.”
Jia'an and Jiaxi were indeed fooled by the provocation, and they shouted in unison: "No, we won't change!" We just want to go to sea, and we are not afraid of trouble! "
"Well," Mrs. Li quickly agreed, "my family has made a three-year agreement with you. Within three years, as long as you learn these skills, my family will support you in buying a boat and go to sea, and will never stop you!"
“Three years, three years!” Jia An and Jia Xi agreed in unison, and they all stepped forward to give grandma a high-five.
Jiayin winked with her grandma, then took her two brothers and walked to the backyard, "Brother, come to my room. I will show you some good things. You will definitely need them when you go to sea in the future."
Seeing the three children entering the corner gate, Tao Hongying breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked her mother-in-law in a low voice, "Mom, I thought these two children were going to make more trips to Quanzhou, but I never thought they were going to sea. Can they... make it?" "
Li Laosan also had some regrets, "Yes, mother, I thought they would at most follow eldest brother and Jiayi a few times..."
Old Mrs. Li waved her hands, took a deep breath, and said: "Since we want to let the children roam freely, don't interfere with where they go. Fortunately, Fu Niu'er is smart and helps me hold them down for three more years.
“In the past three years, they have learned more skills. In the end, it would be best to change their minds. If they insist on going to sea...at least they will have the ability to protect themselves.”
Li Laoer was listening on the side, thinking of Jiaren and Brother Li from the academy, and suddenly became worried.
These two children are also going to Quanzhou for a study tour soon. Will they also...
In the backyard, Jiayin and her two brothers gathered around the Kang table to eat fruit.
Grapes, peaches, etc. that were difficult to take out in front of outsiders were all stuffed into Jiaxi Jiaan's stomach happily.
They have been eating secretly with their sister since they were young. It is a basic rule engraved in their minds regardless of the source.
Even though they were a little frustrated at the moment, it didn’t stop them from moving their mouths.
Jiayin ate a peach, then ran to the kangwei to rummage through the cabinet, and then took out something, which made Jia An Jiaxi forget to swallow the fruit in his mouth...
Hence the third update~~~~
